What is olanzapine?
Olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication. It works by changing the actions of chemicals in the brain.
Olanzapine is used to treat the symptoms of psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (manic depression).
Olanzapine is sometimes used together with another medication called fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem). This combination is also used to treat depression after at least 2 other medications have been tried without successful treatment of symptoms.
Olanzapine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Olanzapine is not for use in psychotic conditions related to dementia. Olanzapine may cause heart failure, sudden death, or pneumonia in older adults with dementia-related conditions.
If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use this medication. Before you take olanzapine, tell your doctor if you have:
- liver disease;
- kidney disease;
- heart disease, high blood pressure, heart rhythm problems;
- high cholesterol or triglycerides;
- a history of heart attack or stroke;
- a history of breast cancer;
- seizures or epilepsy;
- a personal or family history of diabetes;
- an enlarged prostate or difficulty urinating;
- glaucoma; or
- trouble swallowing.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether olanzapine is harmful to an unborn baby. Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
Olanzapine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
The olanzapine orally disintegrating tablet (Zyprexa Zydis) may contain phenylalanine. Talk to your doctor before using this form of olanzapine if you have phenylketonuria (PKU).
Olanzapine can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.
Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.
Avoid drinking alcohol, which can increase some of the side effects of olanzapine.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated. Drink plenty of fluids, especially in hot weather and during exercise. It is easier to become dangerously overheated and dehydrated while you are taking olanzapine.
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Overdose symptoms may include drowsiness, agitation, aggression, slurred speech, confusion, increased heart rate, jerky or uncontrolled muscle movements, trouble breathing, or fainting.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Side Effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using olanzapine and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

While not necessarily patologico, the production is definitely crazydelightfully so, for the most part, thanks to D'Ambrosi's robust theatrical wit. His freewheeling adaptation (spoken in Italian with a few lines of English thrown in for clarification) has the adult "kids" read compositions from their little desks while Hook hovers nearby, passing out naked dolls and lusting to cop a furtive schoolhouse squeeze. As in the original, Peter and his crocodile companion defend the juvenile enclave against the treachery of the one-handed pirate. The difference is that Hook's razor-sharp prosthesis now easily detaches to become a lactating nipple.
Behind every thief of childhood lurks an undermothered baby, sums up the moral of this off-the-wall cartoon, which makes up in compassionate humor what it lacks in psychological profundity. Jun Maeda's autumnal set of dead leaves and wooden crosses lends an eerie, poetic reminder of the original story's preoccupation with the fleeting nature of youth. Though not as darkly enthralling as Mabou Mines's recent Peter and Wendy, D'Ambrosi's adventurous reworking of J.M. Barrie's classic reaches out to those of us stranded somewhere between innocence and perversity.

Cissus For Cortisol Control?
I've recently ordered Cissus for the first time (PrimaForce 20% bulk powder).
I'm interested in it's potential for lowering cortisol (among other things).
Does anyone know if credible research exists documenting the cortisol lowering effects of Cissus? Right now I've been using EndoMax by Primordial, and I have to say this is my first time using Phosphatidyl serine and I'm pretty impressed by its ability to lean me out in the gut area. I'm just wondering if Cissus is this effective, or if I should stick with the EndoMax --at least during PCT?

NEW DELHI: Four businessmen have been arrested in Prasad Nagar here for allegedly running a human trafficking racket.
The police said Ajay Kumar (38), Sumit Kumar (44), Chinmay Chauhan (44) and Virendra (46) used to procure visas to European countries on forged Indian passports, allegedly charging Rs.4 lakh to 5 lakh for each visa.
Acting on a tip-off, the police laid a trap on Ravi Dass Marg on Wednesday evening and arrested the four accused when they allegedly came to exchange forged passports and other documents.
The police claim to have recovered 38 forged passports, two laptops, 19 stamps and several visa applications.
The police said most of the gang's clients were those who had earlier been denied visa to European countries and a refusal stamp was affixed on their passport.
Virendra earlier ran an export business in South Extension. He suffered heavy losses in business and allegedly took to human trafficking to make easy money. He is resident of neighbouring Faridabad. Ajay of Vasant Kunj runs a tour and travels business. Sumit, who was not doing well in business, joined the gang to boost his income. He is a resident of Sukhdev Vihar. Chinmay, a resident of Rajendra Nagar, exports garments, cosmetics, jewellery and purses.

Decolourization of Direct Red 80 (DR-80) by the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium MTCC 787 was investigated employing sequential design of experiments. Media components for growing the white rot fungus were first screened using Plackett-Burman design and then optimized using response surface methodology (RSM), which resulted in enhancement in the efficiency of dye removal by the fungus. For determining the effect of media constituents on the dye removal, both percent dye decolourization and specific dye removal due to maximum enzyme activity were chosen as the responses from the experiments, and the media constituents glucose, veratryl alcohol, KH2PO4, CaCl2 and MgSO4 were screened to be the most effective with P values less than 0.05. Central composite design (CCD) followed by RSM in the optimization study revealed the following optimum combinations of the screened media constituents: glucose, 11.9 g l−1; veratryl alcohol, 12.03 mM; KH2PO4, 23.08 g l−1; CaCl2, 2.4 g l−1; MgSO4, 10.47 g l−1. At the optimum settings of the media constituents, complete dye decolourization (100% removal efficiency) and a maximum specific dye removal due to lignin peroxidase enzyme of 0.24 mg U−1 by the white rot fungus were observed.

Latest 9 to 5 Mac Stories
Two relative newcomers to the Apple rumor mill have been, how do I say, crushing it this year with iPad and iPhone rumors. Of course, we won't know by how much they've crushed it until Apple takes the stage
Ever since their respective inceptions, the iPod Touch has always been like the slightly younger brother to the iPhone. A "me too" device of sorts, where the iPhone goes, so too does the iPod Touch, getting into the same kind of trouble together as they go.
Normally, whenever Apple announces updates to their computers, they'll move the recently outdated models to the refurbished section, offering a pretty good deal on a new-ish Mac.
Today's keynote was one of Apple's most anticipated to date, and while rumors usually run hot just before any Apple presentation or press event, there was something extra in the air as we approached WWDC 2012.
Despite it being the best looking laptop on the market, some users have taken notice of its Thinner, Slimmer cousin the MacBook Air and are wondering the MBP couldn't stand to lose a few pounds.
If the new rumors are true, Apple may be ready to ship out a new MacBook Pro design in the coming weeks.
- To say in too many words; to express verbosely.
- To express in too many words: sometimes used reflexively.
- The leading idea or a repeated phrase, as of a song or ballad; the refrain; burden.

ABSTRACT: An improved method for the synthesis of large and complex oligosaccharides on ionic liquid (IL) support was developed. A strategy to attach the acceptor on IL using a more stable ether linker was used to prevent undesirable decomposition and side products. A "dissolution-evaporation-precipitation" purification procedure was also developed by combining the advantages of precipitation and solid-liquid extraction to reduce mechanical loss and purification time. This approach was successfully used for the rapid assembly of ionic liquid supported homolinear α(1→2)-linked nonamannoside in 25.2% overall yield within 28.5 h.The Journal of Organic Chemistry 06/2011; 76(14):5652-60.

Article: Synthesis and bioactivities of two multiple antigen peptides as potential vaccine against schistosoma.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Based on the two antigenic peptides, 26-43 (P26) and 116-131 (P116), derived from 28 kDa glutathione S-transferase of Schistosoma mansoni (Sm28GST), two multiple antigenic peptides (MAPs), (P26)4-MAP and (P116)4-MAP with the same oligomeric lysine core, were synthesized by stepwise solid-phase peptide synthesis method. The antigenicities and protective effects of these two MAPs were examined on experimental animals. As shown in the dot-ELISA result, the synthetic MAPs could be recognized and bound by immunoglobins in both patient's and infected-rabbit's sera. After Kunming mice were immunized with (P26)4-MAP, the worm burden reduction rate and the liver egg reduction rate were 59.9% and 61.1%. In (P26)4-MAP or (P116)4-MAP immunized BALB/c mice, the worm burden reduction rates were 37.5% and 62.5%, respectively, and the liver egg reduction rates were 35.1% and 54.0%, respectively.Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 06/2005; 15(9):2415-9.

Report of the Fourth Meeting of the Steering Group for the Regional Programme on Economic Statistics, Bangkok, 23-24 March 2015.
This is the programme for the Workshop on Trade Policy and Analysis, 11- 15 May 2015, Yangon University of Economics, Yangon.
Enhancing finance for the areas discussed in Sessions 2 to 6 of this consultation cannot occur without boosting regional development cooperation. In particular, capacity-building and technical assistance to increase countries' access to public and private sources of finance is essential for making progress. In this context, it is important to discuss how ODA can be not only increased to fulfill unmet international commitments but also be deployed in the most effective manner and prioritizing countries that need it the most.
Countries in the Asia-Pacific region have become more vulnerable to climate-related natural disasters, while environmental challenges such as air pollution and deforestation continue to escalate in some countries. This session discusses country-level and regional initiatives to address the growing challenges arising from climate change, the promotion of sustainable energy for all, and the dissemination of green technologies.
Cities in the Asia-Pacific region are the engines of economic growth and centres of societal transformation, but rapid urbanization is leading to huge increases in the demand for basic public services, which require financing by local governments. In addition, the generation of decent jobs and increased productivity by private businesses in the cities calls for the provision of financing for technology and small entrepreneurs. This section explores perspective from the region on ways to strengthen local government finances and increase financing for technology and small entrepreneurs.
Given the sheer scale of its financing requirements, infrastructure investment must be tackled from multiple angles, including through mobilizing additional public resources, developing the region's capital markets, engaging new regional multilateral development banks such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and enhancing the use of official development assistance. With respect to capital markets, the development of institutional investors could play an important role given their focus on investing in long-term assets.
Building on the Monterrey Consensus (2002) and the Doha Declaration (2008), the Third International Conference on Financing for Development will deliberate on ways to support the implementation of the emerging sustainable development goals. This session will review the draft outcome document of the Conference and highlight priority issues for the Asia-Pacific region.
Suggested question:
•What are the top priorities for the Asia-Pacific region with regards to the Addis Ababa Accord?
In the Asia-Pacific region, some of the most pressing policy issues are related to investments in social development, for which there is a need for re-prioritizing government spending and for strengthening the mobilization of domestic resources, including through increasing tax revenues and improving tax administration. In addition, budgeting and tax policies provide important opportunities for reducing inequalities, including gender and for aligning domestic policies and incentives with sustainable development.

Testimonials of our penpals from around the world
marinapego Country: Spain Age: 19
It all started last summer when I was so jealous of one of my friends whose name is Adri. She has travelled more than me during her short life! I was arguing with my mum about it when she said, "Find your own way to go outside of Spain". And that's what I did.
I was looking for a website and I found this site by chance. I clicked on Search to find girls who were of my age more or less. After that, I sent to 2 or 3 girls my message, "Hello! I'm looking for someone to improve my English with". Read more
I have nearly lost hope when one day I received a message! It was from a very nice girl.
After some months of talking via Skype, we both purchased plane tickets for this summer. We are making an exchange! Thanks to this website, I've found a friend and I'm going to have the best trip I could ever have to the UK. My dream has come true.
And that's not all. Today, my friend told me that she will be going for the Erasmus in the city where I'm studying. So thank you so much, languageforexchange creators!

Thanks for the incredible adventure I had after registering with this website.
I don´t think I´ll ever forget the summer I had in Paris in Albert´s house. What a huge city! It was great to get to know it like a Parisian, and not just like a tourist as I always had been when I travelled there with my parents. The trip also helped me improve my French and we´re already thinking about dates for next summer´s exchange. Read more
I´d just like to tell everyone that this way of meet new people and travelling is a great idea.

This is the third time that we are going through a language exchange abroad. We speak English at home, but I would like my children to be bilingual by learning to speak Spanish.
This is to be another wonderful and exciting experience for my family. Last summer we had an exchange and it was truly amazing for all of us. The girl who stayed with us went to school in the mornings and learned a lot about NYC. Read more
Aside from being able to have new friends, she was able to share with us many interesting information about her country and their culture. It was therefore an excellent opportunity for us to understand other cultures.
My girls now plan to go to Europe again next year and spend some time in France, Italy, London, and Spain.
I know that other mothers out there might have some fear or anxieties about these language exchanges abroad as I did at the start. It is for that reason that I am writing about our actual experience, which I would describe as nothing less than rewarding.

The human body requires zinc. This essential mineral is involved in many physiological functions. These functions include the digestion of other nutrients' support for the immune system' and the development and repair of tissues. That's why a convenient supplement like Pure Encapsulations' Zinc 15 may be right for you.
Your immune system is responsible for defending your cells against germs and toxins that may make you sick. Zinc helps boost immunity by supporting the functioning of T-lymphocytes' natural killer cells' and neutrophils. Stay firing on all cylinders with Zinc 15 capsules!
In addition' zinc is important to forming collagen and other tissues. Collagen' a type of protein formed by amino acids' forms the structure of connective tissues and cartilage; it may also lessen the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles by having a plumping filler effect. Zinc is also vital to tissue respiration' a metabolic process when cells absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This is essential to cellular health.
Furthermore' the mineral can support healthy reproductive and fetal development for growing bodies. Men may also benefit from Zinc 15's potential to promote good prostate functioning.
Finally' zinc supports the absorption of many vitamins and minerals. It works with more than two dozen enzymes to metabolize and store the carbohydrates you consume in your diet' while being particularly helpful in the actions of B complex vitamins.
Each capsule provides 15 milligrams of zinc picolinate' a highly absorbable zinc chelate' for a mild boost of your levels. Take one to four vegetable capsules daily' in divided doses with meals. At the recommended dosage' every 60-capsule bottle of Zinc 15 by Pure Encapsulations should last from 15 days to two months.

Pure Encapsulations: PERFECT!
Many experts recommend a zinc supplment for those who eat mainly a plant-based diet since it is thought that phytates, which are commonly found in plant foods, can reduce zinc absorption and increase zinc requirement by up to 50%. I searched a long time and found Pure Encapsultions met all the requirements I have in a supplment: They are GMP, NSF. There are no fillers in this supplement. The capsules are very tiny. Caps are veggie cellulose. No magnesium stearate or other questionable ingredients. The amount of zinc is 100% of the RDA, just what I wanted, as it is the typical amount in a regular multi-vitamin, and I don't want to take more than is necessary or advantageous. Also, Pure Encapsulations told me that PureFormulas is an authorized retailer for their products, so I felt confident purchasing from them. I am happy to pass along this review as I believe in helping others and commending companies that provide safe and excellent products.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

By TeeDee
from Berkshires MA
This brand is wonderful. They leave out all of the questionable excipients and it only improves the quality. That and the fine attitude of this merchant lead me to write a review which I dont usually do. This is a moderate dosage of zinc as supplements go. You can administer less by opening the capsule. Use wisely to prevent stomach irritation possible with all forms of zinc.

A9-Clear Cutter
Edit Page Last Edit: 11 months 7 days ago
The Pulse rifle from the original dead space, returns in dead space 3 !
Actually called the A-9 Clearcutter, this gun/weapon is DLC only.
Although the 2nd special function of the rifle is not present. This is due to the lower and upper tool crafting editions of the new DS game.
It is a fast firing semi auto-matic tool/gun. One of my personal favorites.
The Marauder in particular is modified to be more precise as well as have higher damage put out !
It also sports a custom finish.
With the right circuits and upgrades, this gun is an IMPOSSIBLE mode candidate.

Any acoustic engineers out there in TT Land?

So you've got a two-fold set of requirements: You want to keep sound in as well as making it suitable for those inside drumming.
On the sound treatment for recording/teaching purposes I'd suggest investigating a way to make the drums quieter. I know some other type of drums can be deadened somewhat without ruining the sound too much. Taiki drums - which I've heard many times - are very loud and have a low register for drums (because of their size). That low register is something the sound-proofing would need to consider from the outset.
Typically solid brick/stone/concrete is the only practical way to block low-end sounds. It works better than foam type insulation. In your case you would probably still need a combination of both - to keep the sound in but not make the room unbearable for those drumming. It would need some deadening in the mid and highs and perhaps even a bass trap (google it) in the corner to help keep the sound natural.
Germany has a massive recording industry - one of the biggest in the world thanks to the popularity of electronic music there. I'm certain you could track down someone who could offer advice. I suggest seeking out a sound treatment/insulation products company and ask them. They likely offer some good advice to help potential customers buy the right stuff.

Public Safety: Man arrested in theft of purse at crash scene
A Carlsbad man was arrested yesterday on suspicion of stealing the purse of a pregnant woman who was killed early Sunday in a crash on Interstate 5, the California Highway Patrol said.
CHP investigators arrested Mark Christopher Struk, 31, at his home about 3 p.m., Officer Mark Latulippe said. Struk was booked into jail on suspicion of felony grand theft.
He and a female passenger, who has not been arrested, are suspected of slowing down along I-5 and grabbing a purse that had fallen out from an overturned Ford Explorer. The purse belonged to Yine Erandy Gonzalez Angeles, 24, of Tijuana, a passenger in the Explorer who died at a hospital. Gonzalez was six months pregnant, and the child also died.
The CHP say John Francis Sudac Jr., 27, of Carlsbad was speeding and changing lanes on I-5 in Solana Beach about 1 a.m. when his Nissan Altima hit the Explorer, causing the SUV to roll.
Moments after the crash, a station wagon passed by slowly and a female passenger snatched Gonzalez's purse. Latulippe said witnesses noted the license plate number of the wagon.
A woman with Struk when he was arrested was questioned, but investigators determined she was not the passenger involved in the theft, Latulippe said. The purse has not been recovered.
Sudac is to be arraigned Monday in Vista Superior Court. –M.R. and P.R.
Public's help sought to ID Chula Vista bank robber
SAN DIEGO: The FBI is asking for the public's help in identifying a robber who recently held up a Chula Vista bank.
The robber used a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun and forced his way into the vault of the Pacific Trust Bank on Bay Boulevard near I Street about 6:20 p.m. Dec. 2, officials said.
He took "a substantial amount of money," FBI agents said in a news release, before taking an employee's keys and the employee's car.
The robber was described as white, 50 to 55 years old, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and about 230 pounds. He had salt-and-pepper hair and bushy salt-and-pepper eyebrows, agents said.
He wore a dark ski mask, dark jeans and a gray hooded sweat shirt.
Agents said the employee's car, a silver, four-door 2000 Honda Accord with California license plate 4MNX084, is still missing.
Authorities are asking anyone with information to call the FBI at (858) 565-1255 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477. –A.M.
Two men use handguns to hold up La Mesa store
LA MESA: Police are looking for two men who robbed a Michaels craft store in La Mesa at gunpoint Monday.
The robbers went into the store on Fletcher Parkway near Chatham Street about 3:12 p.m. and began waving handguns and ordering employees and customers to lie on the floor, said police Lt. Dave Bond. They took money and jewelry from several customers and money from several cash registers before driving away in a white sedan, Bond said. No one was injured.
Witnesses described one robber as black, heavy set, 30 to 40 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall, and wearing a beanie, a scarf or a mask covering his face. He also wore a hooded jacket. The other robber was white, 5 feet 8 inches tall and wore a black sweat shirt and either a mask or scarf over his face, Bond said.

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
from Katy Perry – Roar Lyrics on Genius
Perry alludes to her days as a Christian rock singer and the "good girl" image she portrayed during her early career. Soon after adopting her stage name, Perry obliterated her demure attitude and also pissed off her parents.
Alternatively, Katy was a doormat girlfriend, always quiet and fearful of provoking her boyfriend (rocking the boat) into becoming like a hurricane (making a mess). This was her starting point once upon a time.

NEW DELHI: Japanese candy sellers carried these "little box of stories" on the back of their bicycles in the 1930s and travelled to far-off places. Tempting young Japanese children with sweets and stories `Kamashibai', a story-telling form with loose papers and pictures, it was probably their first experience of moving images and voice.
"The children who bought the candy got a better place to watch. During the war it was used as support propaganda. At that time they used these images to promote cooperation among the people for the war. But after the war, we regretted it, so we decided to reinvent it with new stories. Teachers are now using it for educational purposes to train young children, old people and even children with mental and physical disabilities," says Kyoko Sakai, president of Doshinsha Publishing Company that prints the `Kamashibai' cards.
Coming all the way from Japan to take part in the great tradition of story-telling at the Asian Conference on Storytelling here in the Capital to promote the reading habit among children, they feel that there is a `bond' between the two countries.
While Kyoko might not be able to tell her story in English, she has pictures to help her audiences understand and Etsuko Nozaka from the International Kamishibai Association of Japan to interpret. "I think it is very interesting that Asians listen to stories in a different way. They understand the joy of listening to stories sitting together. Their body language is different. Europeans understand Kamishibai in theory, but they don't understand the feeling in the same way," says Kyoko.
From the back of bicycles selling candy during World War II to now being used to communicate with young children, the story-telling form has travelled a long way. Reinventing itself to find completely new tales, `Kamashibai' is now about spreading the feeling of joy. "This method of story-telling is very significant in the world today, especially with communication being lost due to video and television. `Kamashibai' helps promote the feeling of joy. It is spread through the story-teller to the audience and within each other in the audience," says Etsuko. Communicating this feeling of joy and overcoming any language barrier, Kamashibai is about taking children into a world of fantasy.
With imagination an important ingredient for this "flight", it is about introducing young children to a world in which their mind can create the pictures that they can see.

An attorney for Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling says he has agreed to sign off on selling the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for what would be a record $2 billion.
Attorney Maxwell Blecher says Wednesday that Sterling "has made an agreement with the NBA to resolve all their differences" and approved a deal negotiated by his wife Shelly Sterling to sell the team.
Donald Sterling sued the NBA in federal court last week alleging the NBA violated his constitutional rights by relying on information from an "illegal" recording that publicized racist remarks he made to a girlfriend. It also says the league committed a breach of contract by fining Sterling $2.5 million and that it violated antitrust laws by forcing a sale.
Blecher says the suit will be dismissed. NBA owners must approve the sale.

Three-time Ironman finisher Amy Snyder takes the wraps off the best kept secret in the sports world, the Race Across America (RAAM), a bicycle race like no other. Unlike its famous cousin the Tour de France, RAAM is much crazier, more gothic, and even savage: Once the gun goes off the clock doesn't stop, and the first rider to complete the prescribed 3,000-mile route is the victor.
In Hell on Two Wheels, Snyder follows a group of athletes before, during, and after the 2009 RAAM, the closest and most controversial race in the event's 30-year history. This work offers a thrilling and remarkably detailed account of the competitors' triumphs and tragedies as they test themselves, each other, and the limits of human endurance. As RAAM exacts its vicious toll, Snyder shows how the racers discover their essential humanity and experience profound joy and completeness, demonstrating how such a grueling effort can also be cleansing and self-revelatory.
©2011 Amy Snyder (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"A documentary of the toughest bike race"
Reading this book made me realize that the participants in RAAM are no doubt the toughest, baddest, and most mentally focused athletes in the world. Going through RAAM is like subjecting yourself to Navy Seals Hell Week - except with the added pains of saddle sores, neck paralysis, pulmonary edema, swollen hands and feet, hallucinations, and a host of other ailments. The author did a great job in helping the reader understand what motivated each of the main contestants portrayed in the book, and how they dealt with the tortures of this grueling race. I can't say it was motivational - as some sports books are. This was more of a drama / documentary - but gave me a greater appreciation for these athletes.

Apple to Expand LTE Support to 36 Additional Carriers in Several Countries
During today's Financial Results call, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that 36 additional carriers will be providing LTE connectivity for the iPhone and the iPad next week.
"Next week," said Tim Cook, "we're adding 36 more carriers for LTE support. These carriers will be in countries that we are not currently supporting LTE."
While Cook did not name all 36 carriers that would be getting LTE, he did mention that they are in regions like Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, the Philippines, and the Middle East. Currently, 24 carriers offer LTE for the iPhone and the iPad, in countries like the United States, Australia, South Korea, the U.K., Germany, Canada, and Japan.
Apple has been slow to roll out LTE connectivity, leading to complaints over the "4G" in the third generation iPad's name when it was released. Apple later changed it to the iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular in response.
When asked if the slow pace of LTE rollouts has had an impact on iPhone sales, Cook skirted the question, but he did mention the plans to roll out LTE in the aforementioned countries during the next week, and had this to say: "We feel really good about the situation we are in, particularly with these adds next week."

Los Lobos' 'Kiko' reborn in San Diego
Band's upcoming DVD recorded here; group returns Sunday
Los Lobos, with Mariachi Garibaldi
When: 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4
Where: Belly Up, 143 South Cedros Ave., Solana Beach
Tickets: $35-$37
Phone: (858) 481-8140
Coming up on Los Lobos' next release: The multiple-Grammy-winning band, in peak form on a concert stage, with an enthusiastic supporting role by — perhaps — you.
"We made a live DVD in San Diego five years ago," said Los Lobos saxophonist and keyboardist Steve Berlin, who performs here with the band Sunday at the Belly Up. "Then we left Hollywood Records. So, even though the project was complete, it's taken us five years to extract it. I think it will come out next spring."
Filmed here at an early 2006 concert at the House of Blues, the long-gestating DVD captures the now-38-year-old band from East L.A. performing its ambitious 1992 album "Kiko" for the first time in its 16-song entirety.
A landmark, then and now, "Kiko" is mystical and mysterious, earthy and elegant, edgy and captivating. It mixes Los Lobos' vibrant roots-rock approach with elements of New Orleans funk, Cajun music and various Afro-Caribbean styles. The album was a dramatic shift for the band, which in 1987 unexpectedly hit the top of the charts with its rousing version of the 1958 Ritchie Valens hit "La Bamba" (the title track for the Oscar-nominated 1987 feature film of the same name).
"The funny thing is, 'Kiko' was born out of enormous frustration, not a sense of discovery," said Berlin, who in the 1980s produced the debut albums by top San Diego bands the Beat Farmers and The Paladins.
"It was a culmination of the dark side of 'La Bamba,' where we'd risen to this bizarre, artificially constructed height of pop stardom, based on a cover song that was part of a movie. We'd lost money doing a tour that we'd overspent on — paying for two tour buses, a lighting crew and all this b.s. that we didn't need — so we were frustrated and broke.
"I remember pawning some of my instruments to pay the rent. We felt like we were done, like we'd bought into this rock-star mythology that had nothing to do with who we were. So, with 'Kiko,' we said: 'Let's just make a record for ourselves.' "
Los Lobos has since made nearly a dozen more albums.
The most recent — 2010's "Tin Can Trust" — features such dark, brooding songs as "Burn It Down," which seemingly anticipated this year's Occupy Wall Street movement (or at least capture its growing tone of frustration). For a band set to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2013, Los Lobos sounds anything but smug or complacent.
"After all these years," Berlin said, "on some nights — not every night — we are able to push this thing into a place that is remarkable and special."
Bonus questions! Steve Berlin weighs in on...
Producing "Tales of the New West," the Beat Farmers' 1985 debut album: "My producing career at that point was two albums in, so it was an honor that anybody would want me to produce anything. I was agog at the prospect. As I got to know them, it was a real gift. They were an amazing band. That first edition, with Jerry Raney and Country Dick, was a force of nature. They were a great band and it's incredibly tragic Dick died. One of my enduring memories is the Beat Farmers discovered a giant tank of nitrous oxygen next to the recording studio we were at in Burbank. There were more than a few takes where we had to wait for the effects to wear off, because Dick would sing and it would sound like Donald Duck It was a blast. I'm very proud of that record."

It seems to me that I'm not the only one around here who drew pretty much of a blank when asked for an opinion about this county's public transportation system.
After having that question posed to me recently, I figured I'd test the waters a bit by asking the same question of a guy I've known about for about 50 years or so and who has lived most of his life hereabouts. His answer went something like this, "Well, I've seen buses with CATS on the side but I don't know what that stands for. I think CATS provides rides for disabled or elderly people and for children who have some kind of special needs. As far as I know CATS doesn't have any regular bus routes."
Boy, was he surprised with what I've found out about CATS (the Greene County Coordinated Agency Transportation System) and I think you will also be saying, "I didn't know that." For one thing, he's correct that CATS provides "… contractual service for the Greene County Board of Developmental Disabilities and … non-emergency medical transportation service with the Xenia Adult Recreation and Service Center for Greene County Job and Family Services." (Source: CATS Executive Director, Ken Collier).
But CATS also provides public transportation service for all county residents. In general, CATS has a couple of types of "bus routes" providing transportation for the general public. One is the "circulator" type that, as the name suggests, "circulates" on defined routes serving our Greene County communities of Beavercreek, Fairborn, and Xenia (Yellow Springs is served by a somewhat different service described below.) The particular route is identified by an illuminated color sign on the upper front of the bus. The Orange Line circulates through Beavercreek, the Blue Line does the same for Fairborn, and the Green Line serves Xenia. These start service at 6 a.m. with the last stop somewhere around 5:30 to 6 p.m. or so depending on the particular route. Each route has what are called "time points," that is, the bus is scheduled to be at particular locations at specified times — and some of these "time points" are also "transfer points" to other lines, but more about that later.
For example, the Orange Line (Beavercreek Circulator) is at The Mall at Fairfield Commons entrance D at 7:12 a.m. (perhaps accommodating early morning "mall walkers") then every 90 minutes with the last stop there being 5:42 p.m. Among "time points" are Lofino's Market and Five Points Plaza (both transfer points.) The Green Line (Xenia Circulator), also on a 90-minute schedule starting at 6 a.m. from the Xenia Town Square (a transfer point), has scheduled stops at such locations as the Social Security office, Wal Mart, and the county office complex on Ledbetter Road. The Fairborn Connector (Blue Line) circuit includes Kroger, Five Points Plaza (transfer point), the YMCA, and the government center downtown. Just samples, but you get the idea.
OK, that's nice, but what about getting around the county — between our towns? Well, CATS has set up "Connector" routes — which "connect" the circulator routes and also provide service to areas not served by the circulators. For example, the Yellow Line (Xenia/Yellow Springs/Fairborn Connector) links Yellow Springs (which does not have a circulator line) with Xenia and Fairborn. Both Xenia and Fairborn have transfer points to their respective circulator lines. A person in Yellow Springs going to the Social Security office in Xenia can catch the Yellow Line in Yellow Springs and then transfer (free) to the Green Line and on to the office. There are also a couple of slightly different "connectors." One is the Dayton Connector (Red Line), a no-transfer express route that connects Xenia to downtown Dayton. Then, too, there is a Late Night Connector (Purple Line) which originates at Lofino's market at 8:50 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. and hits a number of points such as Beavercreek Kroger, Wal Mart, Wright State, Clark State, The Mall at Fairfield Commons and Yellow Springs with the last stop in Xenia at 12:02 a.m. — but not all stops are included on both these trips so you've got to check the timetable closely.
One more quick point. With some exceptions, the fare — exact change required — for a one-way trip is $1.50 but passengers age 13 and under, the elderly, and the disabled pay only $.75 — all with free transfers. Oh, yes, CATS has recently introduced a monthly bus pass system, but more about that and other neat stuff such as "Flex Routes" and "Demand Responsive" service that I never heard of before when I wrap things up next time — and I betcha you'll continue saying, "I didn't know that."
At least that's how it seems to me.

Doc Rivers: 'I'll let everyone else talk about us'
|01.19.11 at 7:21 pm ET
Two different comments about the Celtics have made the rounds today. One complimentary, and the other not so much. Orlando Magic general manager Otis Smith questioned the Celtics tough reputation by telling the Orlando Sentinel, "They act tough. They're not really tough. They act tough."
Asked about it before the Celtics game with the Pistons, Ray Allen responded, "It doesn't matter. We know who we are."
Celtics coach Doc Rivers wouldn't even go that far. "I'll let everybody else talk about us," he said. "They seem to do it better than us."
Told that Lakers coach Phil Jackson had suggested that Heat couldn't beat the Celtics, Rivers joked, "In that case I think Phil is a genius! And I hope he's right. There's a lot of playing to be played. We'll see how that all works out."

We'd need to talk to Bill about getting a proper history. Aside from the founders, I basically came along as the first member-administrator, because I was harrassing Bill so much with corrections. Things were really a mess back then. We're finally down to the last giant mess but even that will be sorted out soon enough.
Ramsdell followed me over from the Manifesto and proved more anal than I was about accuracy, so he got involved administrating as well. His role solidified into something tangible whereas mine was kept vague so I could just do whatever needed doing.
The next step was Joe coming on board to build the site into what it is today. Someone posted the original Ratebeer layout a while back and that was cool. Brought back memories for us veterans. New guys who didn't see the old layout might wonder how we ever managed to do anything. To find a beer you used to have to search all the beers that began with that letter. (This is where the brewery name in front thing came about, to make things easier). After a while this was too cumbersome but the complete layout overhaul by user_ex straightened out a lot of these issues.
Bill left the site in Joe's hands shortly thereafter (Wade having left the party shortly after inception).
Volgon came on as newsletter writer, Mr Dick as a pinch-hitter on the programming side and until Ramsdell quit that was the staff. He was working full-time basically, and by this point I not only didn't have that kind of time, but also had a full slate of responsibilities beyond what Ramsdell was doing, so his aspects of his old role has been taken on by a few users, ecrvich, Indra and myself included.
At this point the users are certainly taking a more active role in the site than before, under the direction of myself (beer content) and Joe (everything else).

Ray Murphy Endowed Scholarship
|Ray Murphy was a walk-on wrestler during the 1960s, captaining the
1968 national champion team and as a senior in 1969 finished second in
the 145-pound weight class. He was an honor student and beloved member
of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. While getting his master's degree,
he competed in an East-West All-Star match in 1970 when he was thrown to
the mat in an illegal hold and landed on his head, paralyzing him from
the neck down.
On July 20, 2010, Murphy passed away as the longest living quadriplegic known to medical science.
"There were three things that prolonged Ray's life - his faith, his friends and his love for OSU," said Jim Blazer, a fraternity brother and head of the Ray Murphy Fund. "Ray lived for all things OSU and he loved the university more than anything. He would listen to the radio if a game wasn't on TV or he'd go online and read about academics, sports, new facilities, everything. He would read articles in the newspaper. That's what Ray lived for."
After his death, OSU athletics was inspired to endow a scholarship in his name.
"Our goal is to reach $250,000," said Dave Martin, senior associate athletic director. "It's the least we can do to honor such an amazing guy with an incredible will to live. He is such an inspiration to others."
The scholarship will be awarded to wrestlers exemplify Murphy's outstanding academics, positive attitude and passion for OSU.
"My only hope is that we give this scholarship to someone who has a heart for putting others before himself," Blazer said. "He must first be a student, then an athlete just like Ray. I hope that we will be able to impact a student's life, just like Ray impacted mine and several others."

Direct donations to the fund are accepted at the OSU Foundation by clicking here.
Checks are payable to the OSU Foundation and note the donation is for
the Ray Murphy Endowed Scholarship.
The OSU Foundation serves as the private fundraising organization for OSU, as designated by the OSU Regents. Its mission is to unite donor and university passions and priorities to achieve excellence.

I bought one of those recliners with all the bells and whistles. One day I sat down and noticed the front of the right side had rips and pulls down one side. I was so disappointed that my beautiful new chair was damaged like that but I was puzzled and couldn't work out why or what had happened because it was perfect when it arrived the week before.

The next day I found out. My neighbour's cat Sophie came to visit and I let her in as usual. She likes to wander through my house and sniff everything and later after she'd gone I realised that the damage on the chair was worse going right along the armrest.

Sophie doesn't understand why now I only say hello through the window and don't let her in. :(
