FBI adds to wiretap wish listMarch 12, 2004
In a strongly worded legal brief filed with a federal judge in San Jose, Calif., the search company accused prosecutors of a "cavalier attitude," saying they were "uninformed" about how search engines work and the importance of protecting Google's confidential information from disclosure.
This response came after the Justice Department last month asked a judge to force Google to hand over a random sample of 1 million Web pages from its index, along with copies of a week's worth of search terms to aid in the Bush administration's defense of an Internet pornography law. That information is supposed to be used to highlight flaws in Web filtering technology during a trial this fall.
Google's defense of privacy
Google has offered multiple reasons why it shouldn't have to comply with a Justice Department subpoena. One is privacy. An excerpt:
"If Google is forced to compromise its privacy principles and produce to the Government on such a flimsy request, its search query and URL data, Google will, without a doubt, suffer a loss of trust among users. Google's success can be attributed in large part to the high volume of Web users attracted to Google.com every day. The privacy and anonymity of the service are major factors in the attraction of users--that is, users trust Google to do right by their personal information and to provide them with the best search results. If users believe that the text of their search queries into Google's search engine may become public knowledge, it only logically follows that they will be less likely to use the service."
The Justice Department subpoena normally would have been a routine matter, and America Online, Microsoft and Yahoo voluntarily complied with similar requests. But Google's resistance sparked a furor over privacy, with Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, asking the Justice Department for details, and a bill appearing in the House of Representatives that would require Web sites to delete information about visitors.
"The privacy of Google users matters, and Google has promised to disclose information to the government only as required by law," the brief says. "The privacy and anonymity of the service are major factors in the attraction of users--that is, users trust Google to do right by their personal information."
Google's opposition raised eyebrows last month after it stood up to the U.S. government but capitulated to censorship demands from China's ruling Communist Party. At a hearing this week, politicians said they were "sickened" that Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo chose to censor their search results for Chinese users.
Another reason for objecting to the subpoena, Google says in its brief authored by Al Gidari and Lisa Delehunt at the law firm of Perkins Coie, is that government lawyers might share the information with the FBI for criminal prosecution--say, of people who typed in search terms like "marijuana cultivation" or "directv hacking."
A protective order does say that only Justice Department attorneys "who have a need" for the information may receive it. But a department spokesman told Newsweek last month that, "I'm assuming that if something raised alarms, we would hand it over to the proper (authorities)."
"This is all part of a civil action, and so consequently it's strictly to get the information we specifically requested," Charles Miller, a Justice Department spokesman, told CNET News.com on Friday. "As regards that material, that is what it is being used for and that is all."
A sex lawsuit's unexpected twist
The Bush administration's request is tied to its defense of the Child Online Protection Act, which restricts posting sexually explicit material deemed "harmful to minors" on commercial Web sites unless it's unavailable to minors.
Alberto Gonzales v. Google
Court documents reveal that the Justice Department has been pressuring Google for excerpts from its search logs for half a year. Prosecutors hope to use the excerpts to show that filtering software can't protect children online.
Government subpoena and Google's objection (186K pdf)
Motion to require Google to comply (660K pdf)
Declaration of Philip Stark, government statistics expert (1.1M pdf)
In legal documents filed last month, prosecutors say compliance is necessary to prove that the 1998 pornography law is "more effective than filtering software in protecting minors from exposure to harmful materials on the Internet." For instance, Internet addresses obtained from the search engines could be tested against filtering programs to evaluate their effectiveness.
A divided U.S. Supreme Court in 2004 stopped short of striking down the law and instead said that a full trial--to take place in Philadelphia--was needed to determine whether the law is constitutional.
Because the ACLU likely will seek to dispute any conclusions the Justice Department draws from the data it receives from search engines, the civil liberties group apparently has been sending its own requests to other search companies. (The government has hired Philip Stark, a professor of statistics at the University of California at Berkeley, to evaluate the search logs.)
AOL has received such a request from the ACLU, Google disclosed in its brief, adding that its opposition to the subpoena was in part designed to avoid being enmeshed in precisely that kind of ongoing legal spat. That would place Google "in the witness chair, and exposes Google's intellectual property to cross-examination in open court by the ACLU, its counsel, experts, and consultants," the brief says.
AOL, Microsoft, and Yahoo each have received two subpoenas from the Justice Department, one asking for information about filtering technology and the other asking for search terms. The ACLU has given AOL a subpoena to appear at a deposition "asking for testimony about their parental control technology," ACLU attorney Aden Fine said Friday.
A survey conducted earlier this month by CNET News.com of the four major search engines about their privacy policies found that some would reveal when they had received subpoenas and what they did to delete customer data, while others would not. Google and Yahoo appeared to be the most secretive.
Yahoo, Microsoft, and AOL have said that they defend users' privacy vigorously and complied with the Justice Department's search request because it seeks only a list of search terms and Web addresses, and not individual user data. The government has not, for example, asked for information about who typed in what search terms.
U.S. District Judge James Ware has scheduled a hearing in the case for March 13.

- Of course... Since AOL and Google are now such good friends, it appears as though Google wants to play both sides of this issue... AOL is supposedly using Google search technology, yet AOL gave up records to the government while Google refuses.
Honestly, is anybody going to believe that a random dataset of URLs discloses trade secrets? Google may have a point to argue, but their argument is frail and weak...
- Like Reply Link Flag
- They have more arguments available...
- They are trying to mask it in trade secrets and protection of privacy. Google has some other stronger arguments at it's disposal however that I haven't seen brought up yet.
The best of these is that the US can not ask a company to perform work for them for free. Google's value is on it's search technology and they can easily demonstrate that value. Providing this data is valuable information. Should Microsoft have asked for the same information Google would have asked for millions or billions of dollars. The DoJ has not offered to buy it, they say "it is ours, hand it over" and that's NOT allowed in our legal system.
Google is touching this on one side with the cross-examination argument showing that they will become an expert witness for the DoJ.
Another argument they are making but isn't covered heavily in this article is that the DoJ's request falls far short of it's true intentions to prove filtering technology. It essentially circumvents the systems it intends to prove are faulty.
A strong argument can also be made on the 5th amendment where Google could find itself in violation of the COPA law if it were to be passed by the courts. Google is a commercial website that would be providing acccess to minors to the objectionable material. Google has no requirement or interest to provide such evidence.

- Mnd the subtext
- I have seen many comments in many places shouting about how Google is bad for complying with subpoenas, even though they're the only search engine who is pushing back at all. Notice the deafening silence from other search engines (MSN, Yahoo, in particular). One can only presume that they gladly handed over everything that was requested without flinching. The subtext here, in these stories about Google and subpoenas for data, is that the rest of the world's search engines roll right over whenever a government agency asks for data. That should be getting as much press as Google's pushing back does.

- Google being able to operate inside China is contingent on their compliance with the laws of China. They are not in a free market with freedoms we experience here in the US.
Google's existence in the US market is contingent on compliance with US laws that are VERY different and designed (or supposed to be) to respect freedoms and personal ownership.
They will not be able to operate in each of these markets in the same way. In China when they say "no" there is no legal recourse for Google to take. They either comply, or they will be banned from doing business in China. While in the US the Government is NOT allowed to tell another company what it can or can not do without due legal process.

- What in it for Google?
- Do you think that Google is not giving the Feds information because it really wants to protect users privacy? I think that Google foresaw that people would move their searching else where if information was given over. I think that Google is driven by profits and their interest and for now keeping users information private is within their interest. Who knows they could be giving data over secretly. Not everything is in the news.
With the event of these stories I have personally moved to start using Yahoo and MSN for my searches along with Google. I personally am not afraid of my searches being known by the government as long as they are kept separate from my name and IP. My question to all those in such an uproar over this is, what are you searching? Naughty! Naughty!

- Two thumbs up for Google!
- Two thumbs up for Google and two thumbs down for gov. There seems to be alot of different opinions here about this topic. But for what ever reason Google is denying the gov to come into there home is GOOD! Its not Googles fault that there is illegal stuff on the internet. If you don't like it then block google. I know for some people it may not be easy to set up security, but you should learn. Just like you need a licence to drive before you can drive. Why should Google help? Will it put and end to illegal activity on the internet? Not even close. Its just the gov flexing there muscles trying to get what they want. How would you feel if you owned an apartment building and lived in one of the suits. Then one day the feds come by saying they want to search the whole building because one of the other occupant was doing something illegal. I'm sure some might have no problem with this, but I would not like to have my privacy invaded just because some one said I had to. If it was bad enough im sure I would have it dealt with on my own terms, and I'm sure google would to. Anyways, Google has my full support in the fight. Good going Google :-)

- Your answer...
- Google is worth billions. The majority of their value is associated with the success of their search engine. The data contained in that system is worth billions more than Google's dollar value. A small sampling would be worth millions of dollars. So if you think MSN did the right thing by giving away something worth millions, you simply don't understand the market as well as Google.
This may be "selfish" of them, but it's what they should be doing as a responsible company looking out for their own investments.

- You Know What's Disturbing
- Google started by some kids that created robots to scan the text of web pages and display the results in an algorithmic fashion.
My question is this: As a web developer, copy producer, web designer and developer my websites consist solely of creation of mine. Fully copy-written works of web art. Works of copy-written material that your [Google] robots has pilfered through, returned explicit results to fit your [Google] Organization for intent of profit. So I feel like you [Google] has committed copyright infringement on everybody excluding yourselves web presence. The numbers will show and well as the content you provide that you [Google], in fact, make profit off of other peoples copy without proper reimbursement.
Personally it has taken me hundreds of hours to create and write my content only so your robots can return profit bering results on Google.com.
I will be exploring more about Googles Copyright infringing on www.TechViewsToday.US. I would suggest you contemplate taking the same actions!

- Google & copyright
- Probably the best way to think about this is that by creating a web page you've also given people (and perhaps bots) an implied license to read it and perhaps index it.
If you don't like this, use the noarchive tag or a robots.txt file.
One federal judge has agreed that Google's cached copy of a page is not a copyright infringement.
It may not be the last word, but it's hardly clear that Google's use of your copyrighted work is in violation of copyright law.

Where to spend the night along the Route Napoleon?
At the end of our upcoming France trip, we're driving from Chambery toward Nice along the Route Napoleon with an overnight stop along the way. To find a place to spend the night, I've been looking at some of the towns along the Route, and Vallier de Thiey looks appealing, as it's small and quaint, but not too small, so I think there would be a few lodging and dining options. Has anyone stayed in a town along the Route? Any suggestions? Ideally, we'd like to stay more toward the southern end, as we'll be able to get quite a bit of driving in the first day and the next day will be our final full day in France and we'd like to dedicate some time to Nice. Thanks!

Ubuntu 10.10 review
Out of the box, the system is configured to check for updates (via the Update Manager) once daily, and to notify the user (via the Update Notifier) when updates are available. The Update Notifier is supposed to put an icon in the notification area, but on my test system, the icon never appeared even after the Update Manager had indicated that there were updates available.
Administrative Tools: Almost all the graphical administrative tools are accessible from the menu – System > Preferences, and System > Administration. Most are part of any GNOME-based distribution.
The USB Startup Disk Creator (System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator), makes it easy to install Ubuntu on a USB flash drive. The flash disk may then be used to install Ubuntu on computers without an optical drive or just be used as a Live USB system with persistent storage.
Another useful utility is the System Testing tool (System > Administration > System Testing), which makes it easy to test and view test reports on virtually all aspects of the system. If you want to run the tests, better to run them in batches, and not with all enabled as shown below. The tests can take a long time to run, and they are interactive.
When a test session is completed, you may view the report and/or submit it to Canonical. If you choose to view the report, it will open in a browser tab or window.
Here is a section of a test report viewed on Firefox.
Media and Hardware Detection: Out of the box, Firefox, the lone Web browser installed, passed the Java test and plays Flash videos. Java handling is courtesy of the OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime Environment (JRE). Sun Java JRE is in the repository, and also in the Software Center's list of featured applications.
Because libdvdcss is not installed, Totem, the default video player could not play encrypted DVD videos. However, by running sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh from a shell terminal, you can install libdvdcss and then be able to play your commercial DVD video. Rhythmbox is the default audio CD player, and it works as intended. A new addition to the list of music stores accessible from Rhythmbox is the Ubuntu One Music Store. That makes it three music stores accessible from Rhythmbox. The others are Jamendo and Magnatune.
With CUPS, the Common UNIX Printing System, installed and running by default, printer configuration was simply plug-and-print.
Security Profile and Posture: The default CUPS port (631) is the only open port, and it is accessible only from the localhost, not even from other computers on the network. Ufw, Ubuntu's user-friendly interface to IPTables/Netfilter, the Linux firewall application, is in an inactive stateful tracking mode by default. Also, there is no graphical firewall client installed (there are five in the repository).
The AppArmor module is loaded and in enforcing mode. AppArmor is a kernel-space mandatory access control application with a role similar to what SELinux plays on Fedora and Fedora-derived distributions. Ten profiles are loaded by default. You may view the loaded profiles by running sudo apparmor_status from a shell terminal.
Final Thoughts and Suggestions: Ubuntu 10.10 is a better stable release than Ubuntu 10.04, whose list of know issues was much more than I am used to seeing with stable distribution releases. In contrast, the list of know issues associated with Ubuntu 10.10 much less. The only significant issue I experienced in the course of writing this review is that the Update Notifier failed to notify. And it is not even in the list of know issues. Aside from that, everything worked as intended. However, that does not mean that it is perfect, because it is not. To help along those lines, here are my suggestions
- Ubiquity, the Ubuntu installer, needs more than just cosmetic changes. It needs a decent dose of standard Linux features. I am referring to support for LVM, full disk encryption, and password-protection option for GRUB, the bootloader.
- The default Ubuntu desktop is about as bland as you can get. I think it is about time to spice it up with Cairo-Dock, The latest edition of Cairo-Dock works perfectly out of the box, and the effect is more than just eye-candy. It is a productivity-enhancing application. You may view some screenshots of the Ubuntu desktop with Cairo Dock in place of the lower panel, and read how to spice up Ubuntu 10.10 desktop.
- It would be nice to see a media center application, like Enna, Moovida or XBMC, fully integrated into the desktop in the same fashion that XBMC is integrated into the Sabayon desktop

I'm pretty sure that the 'Please make sure your computer is plugged into a power source' is for laptop users.
Been a while since this review was posted, however there don't seem to be any comments about to your power supply query.
Maybe it's just me, but I immediately thought that the instruction referred to people installing on laptops where the battery could run out halfway through an install with the possibility of corrupted file systems or, maybe, damaged drives.
At the least you'd have to plug in, or recharge the battery, and start again.

This is a way old topic but OMG. So quick to point a finger at Ubuntu. And seriously how hard is it to google "distro" it takes all of 30 seconds. No big deal. By the way, learning how to use terminal. You can't just open it and expect to know how to use it and another by the way, the su (super user) function is used for things that only an admin would deal with. In addition it wants the ROOT password!!!! not yours! I'm sorry but that was such a dumbass remark… anyway. It's simple, but it takes a whole lot of learning and practice. And installing an OS is not a guess. Linux based distros are a crapload more stable than any Windows distro. I don't even have an anti-spyware on my Mac home computer. And I have been using it for a good 3 years. Never had a virus. On a Windows machine that would be like saying come over and get comfy! Ever heard of a Windows server that didn't have a big expensive firewall in front of it? Guess what OS most firewalls are based off of. LINUX. My linux server has just a firewall program running. nothing else. And dual booting is no simple task that is done in a routine way. there are different ways of doing it and if it is your first time no duh you have to learn some stuff.
I tried to install Ubuntu on a separate partition after Win 7 64. The problem is that Grub overwrites BCD which I want to maintain. I tried to use EasyBCD 2 to change the MBR, but that failed to find the Linux boot file. Yes Grub gives me the option of booting Win 7, but I want Windows as the primary operating system. Does anyone know how? Thanks…
I put ubuntu 10.10 on a separate partition just to try Linux and I am extremely unhappy with it. You have to study volumes of data to find out how to even install a printer driver. I tried loading addons and you can't even find the after they are installed. You have to trace down how to get to a terminal window and then read many, many volumes more on how to use it. Example: type in su – and it asks you for a password. Type in your pass word and nothing happens. Now start googleing to find out that it doesn't want a password. They took Thunderbird and stripped it to make some kind of a junior email program. In the long of it. ubuntu may start getting in the race with windows in another 10.10 years.
I always find it mildly amusing when people who have *clearly* never even attempted to use a Linus distro start trying to guess what their criticisms of it should be.
For the record, I installed Ubuntu back in 2007 – dual booting with Windows XP – and even though I had no idea what I was doing, I managed to get everything up and running within the space of a single evening.
Although I have since shifted to a different distro, Ubuntu does deserve a lot of credit for providing a very easy way in for people who have absolutely no Linux experience.
First I had to look up "distro" to find out what it was – another Linux term for distribution.
There is nothing amusing about trying to get a system to run when the entire operation is nothing but a guess. I also got ubuntu running in a few hours, but that put a kink into me with what I had to go through to get it done.
how ignorance, do you know there is one amazing thing exists in the world called laptop?

I speak, read & write normal English. When will *ix not tell me that my directories "data" & "Data" are different?

English has nothing_to_do_with_*.ix._In_English_,_'english'_is_different_from'Enlish'.
But *.ix does not know that. Look at the many *.x utilities the replace "_" with " ", and replace " " with "_".
If you copy you folder directory with all the sub-directories, you can see that "data", "DATA" and "Data" are three different directories. M$ windows know English better than *.ix.

|Key Info
Old Bridge Inn, as its name suggests, was formerly a coaching inn built in the 1820s alongside the Skipton-Kendal turnpike road. In 2003 it was converted into a cosy, modern, comfortable cottage and now provides a superb base to explore the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. Set on the edge of the picturesque village of Ingleton, the cottage has rural views front and rear and has access to a private stretch of riverbank where you can dip your toes on a hot summers day.
The cottage is spacious and well-equipped, and has 3 bedrooms - one double with an en-suite shower room, one twin and one single. Downstairs there is a large living room, a modern dining kitchen and a cloakroom. The village centre is 5 minutes walk away and there you can find numerous shops, pubs and cafes.
For the children, there is an excellent playground, an open-air swimming pool (summer only), White Scar Caves and the scenic Ingleton Waterfalls Walk. The wonderful Yorkshire Dales are right on the doorstep, and a half-hour drive brings you to the Lake District towns of Windermere and Ambleside.
This is a great place for walkers, families or those who just enjoy the beauty of the National Parks.

The Yorkshire region
Old Bridge Inn is an ideal base for exploring the glorious scenery of this part of northern England, especially the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks, and the Forest of Bowland.
Plus there are numerous tourist attractions and interesting towns and villages to visit. The seaside and the wide open spaces of Morecambe Bay are a short drive away.
The Ingleton area is well known as "The Land of Caves and Waterfalls". All around is magnificent limestone scenery of cliffs, caves and streams that mysteriously disappear into the ground! White Scar and Ingleborough Caves are open all year round, and the brave can descend into depths of Gaping Gill on two weeks each year.
It is a walkers paradise, whether it is the strenuous 24 mile Three Peaks Walk or the more gentle, but nevertheless stunning, Ingleton Waterfalls Walk. The village has a wide range of shops, pubs, cafes, an Italian restaurant and (according to Mike Harding) "the best fish & chip shop in the Dales". There are frequent events and festivals throughout the year, including the 1940s Weekend, the Folk Festival, the Ingleton Gala and the Wild West Weekend.
The village also has a climbing wall, a summertime open-air swimming pool and a great children's play area.

"Wonderful cottage, everything you could want or need."
The cottage was very well equipped, everything had been thought of, there are games, dvd's and books, there's even a pair of binoculars. It was clean, warm and comfortable and very spacious. The next door neighbour is also very friendly. Just a short walk into Ingleton there are cafe's and pubs serving pub food. If you want to celebrate, The Traddock in Austwick is a wonderful establishment, 5 of us celebrated my husbands 70th birthday there, afternoon tea is also very good. The Yorkshire Dales is an outstanding area to visit whether you are a walker or prefer to drive, the scenery is stunning, Ingleton is well situated to do whatever you prefer to do.

"Well equipped cottage in great location"
We have just enjoyed our 9th stay in this cottage.
It is ideally placed for walking in the Dales and for access to the coast and Lake District - 45 minutes to Morecambe and about 50 minutes to Windermere.
It is situated on the main A65 road, which can get busy, however, the cottage is well sound proofed and has thick walls. The rear opens out onto a lovely courtyard area which catches the evening sun - perfect for resting weary legs after a day on the fells!
The cottage is very clean and modern, though has some history as it was once part of The Bridge coaching inn. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would require. All the rooms are spacious and have lovely views across open countryside. There are also maps and books available for guests to read/borrow during their stay which is nice.
There are several pubs in Ingleton village, all within walking distance of the cottage, also a local co-op and lovely bakery for essential provisions.
Ingleton village is great for families with children - there is a well equipped playground and open air swimming pool (open in the summer months). There are lots of short walks that can be done from the cottage, making it a nice break from using the car.
All in all, a lovely place to stay.

Stiff Little Spinners Vol.5
The Stiff Little Spinners are back on a solo tip with the fifth edition of our vinyl series that's embracing the world of electronic dance clubs and open air raves with heartfelt warmth, organic basslines and a whole lotta love.
After releasing Volume 4 alongside our tenth anniversary compilation "Audiolith -Ten Years From Now" Stiff Little Spinners Volume 5 once again serves a fine, hand-picked selection of six melodious club essentials somewhat in between Tech- , Romantic- and DeepHouse-grooves for intimate late night jams and cosy venues crowded with musical connaisseurs.
Starting things with the man they call Krink @krink, our Stiff Little Spinner number one, multi-active produce and master of melodies, we see a pumping "Eclipse" hyping crowds with its on-point pounding bassdrums and an ever spiralling synth line that reaches new heights on top of huge organic basslines and yearning, masterfully crafted strings that'll take every TechHouse-infused set to the next level from the very first drop onwards.
Coming up next is another of our "Old Friends" - Kalipo @kalipo-1. Whilst exploring further realms of a universe build on a solid foundation of analogue synth structures and tender echoes of processed vocal bits the Berlin-based producer speeds up things here and tops his excellent primetime cut with lively shakers and a killer break introducing nothing but peace, love and overwhelming beauty.
Another well-established member of the Stiff Little Spinners crew is Gimmix @djgimmix who's catering his tune "Lyah" here – a sweet fusion track amalgamating elements of vocal driven deepness with fascinating Future Garage / SpeedGarage bassrides that are providing maximum pressure on every proper rig. Add up a few Jungle-referencing sample cuts and melancholia driven motor city string arrangements to this mixture and you'll find a perfect combination of elements that is never about to leave any real DJs crates. Instant classic.
Remixed by Rampue @rampue we see Bebetta Conrady's "Shame" weigh in epic modulations, sweet uplifting vocals, tribalistic drums and candy-coated piano lines that fall together perfectly, building a unique electronic love song of a kind that's translating the universal language of love into a stream of sonic pulses about to trigger all punters hearts for a reason.
More beats, tenderness and pure dancefloor pleasure are provided by the pairing of Torsun Teichgräber @torsunteichgraeber and Danja Mathari with their collaboration effort "In My Own Skin". Together they're riding the Piano wave on top of slightly distorted yet seductive analogue synth modulations rocketing off into Rave heavens whilst the fragile, cuddly and super-cute vocals turn this tune into an unforgettable love affair that's meant to last forever..
Finally rounding of this little story with a bass heavy fusion of UK Funky, Future Garage and rumbling TechHouse is Hamburg's ILLest producer Joney @joneywho's bringing on a lively swing, athmospheric strings and echoing female vocals bits with his tune "Don't Stop" - an ultimate crossover piece that's calling out for a reload or two.

Ya r u t o is as much the product of hard work as it is a result of critical self-evaluation and occasional serendipity. »When I'm in the studio for six days in a row, I spend at least five of them feeling depressed because nothing seems to work out. I go for those four magic minutes in which everything suddenly falls into its place.« After toying with a variety of samples, Häglsperger usually creates patterns and takes them to the studio to flesh out the rough drafts with his wide array of analogue synthesizers and, occasionally, instruments like a Rhodes piano, a metallophone or guitars. Vocal samples are being chopped up and rearranged by Häglsperger until the syllables develop a life of their own and eventually create the abstract narrative that makes up the thematic backbone of this otherwise intuitively written record. From the opener »Embryo« and the track that gave the album its name through to the final track »Cloud Dancing II«, Ya r u t o follows what you might call an impersonal biography by creating moods that correspond with certain stages of life, constantly commented on by disembodied voices.
Ya r u t o will be released on Antime, the Berlin based label run by Martin Steer with whom Hägelsperger shares production duties in the German Electro Punk outfit Frittenbude. »Antime was an obvious choice, because Martin fully trusts me and my creative instinct. Thus, I can experiment as much as I want to and don't have to compro- mise even though my music might not have a mass appeal«, says Hägslperger, who has also relocated to the German capitol a few years back, with regard to the hypnotic, Gamelan-influenced rhythms on tracks like »Listen To You« and subtle nods to composers like Steve Reich whose Music For 18 Musicians Häglsperger cites in »Get Rich«.
Despite being his own most critical judge, Häglsperger, who in his energetic live sets uses only ana- logue hardware, has worked on the album almost completely autonomous and also contributed to the album's artwork. As his first hobby turned into a fulltime job, Häglsperger decided he was in urgent need of a second one and resorted to analogue photography. Some of his pictures made their way into the artwork which was taken care of by Antime's in-house graphic designers Johann Steer and Helga Stirle.
Ya r u t o has been in the works for more than a year while Häglsperger was producing albums for the likes of Fuck Art, Let's Dance and others and will be followed by a series of digital releases as well as music videos on which he is currently working on.

Just before Jakob Häglsperger's debut album under his moniker Kalipo sees the light of day, the Berlin based Antime label is proud to present to you a teaser in form of a digital single set to be released on July 18. "Yaruto" not only gave the album its title, but is also the centrepiece of the abstract narrative that Häglsperger was trying to stretch out over its ten tracks on which he worked almost autonomously for over a year. It combines all the distinctive elements of Kalipo's sound: Disembodied, chopped up vocals, warm basslines and polyrhythmic structures.
With his epic 12 minute long remix, midimúm alias Martin Steer takes the track's danceability one step further. Steer – who not only runs Antime but has also been one of Häglsperger's closest friends since their teenage days and has been sharing with him production and songwriting duties in the German Electropunk outfit Frittenbude for almost a decade now – explores his passion for Dub Techno and droney, synth-laden Electronica to make "Yaruto" fit for peak time hours.
On top of that, the digital bundle also includes "Andrewsarchus", a track inspired by a lively reconstruction of the prehistoric mammal of the same name which Häglsperger once saw in the dinosaur-themed recreation park Germendorf in Eastern Germany. With its distorted analogue synth lines, flaring drones and throbbing beats, the tracks pays a claustrophobic homage to the extinct animal that is generally assumed to be a predator or scavenger.
Kalipo's debut album Yaruto will be released on September 12. It will be followed by at least one complimentary single and various videos created by no-one else but Jakob Häglsperger himself.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) August 04, 2014
Many young adults are leaving home for the first time, yet remain ill-prepared to independently manage their personal finances. This is predictable considering that less than one-half of the states mandate a course in personal finance as a requirement for high school graduation.
Further, the 2014 National Foundation for Credit Counseling® (NFCC) Financial Literacy Survey revealed that the majority of adults say they learned the most about personal finance from their parents, which is true whether mom and dad possess good or bad financial habits. Proving that parents may not be the best teachers of personal finance, more than four in 10 survey respondents, 41 percent, gave themselves a C, D or F on their grasp of personal finance. Therefore it should be no surprise that many young adults smart enough to get into college remain ignorant of even the most basic financial skills.
"Whether it's off to work or off to college, parents put a lot of time and money into preparing their child to leave home, but often neglect the basic life skills associated with personal finance. With just a few weeks until the young adult children will head out the door, the time is now for a crash course in personal finance," said Gail Cunningham, spokesperson for the NFCC.
The NFCC provides the following Personal Finance 101 checklist of basic knowledge everyone living on their own for the first time needs to possess in order to start off on the right financial foot.
The NFCC recommends that parents and their young adult leaving the nest make an appointment with a certified financial counselor at an NFCC member agency location. Hearing financial advice from a professional may have a stronger impact than hearing it from mom and dad. To be automatically connected to the NFCC agency closest to you, dial (800) 388-2227, or go online to http://www.DebtAdvice.org.
The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), founded in 1951, is the nation's largest and longest serving national nonprofit financial counseling organization. The NFCC's mission is to promote the national agenda for financially responsible behavior, and build capacity for its members to deliver the highest-quality financial education and counseling services. NFCC Members annually help millions of consumers through more than 600 community-based offices nationwide.

Originally written on BlackSportsOnline | Last updated 2/25/13
The UFC has placed an emphasis on "Super fights" this year and none would be bigger than Anderson Silva vs Jon "Bones" Jones. In a radio interview with Chicago's The Waddle & Silvy Show Dana White has confirmed that huge fights are on the horizon for Silva. White had this to say about Silva: "Anderson Silva is on the verge of signing a new big deal with us, and he wants big fights. That's what he wants." Waddle & Silvy asked Dana about the possibility of Silva fighting not only Jones but also GSP in the future: "The great thing about it is, Anderson Silva is the greatest fighter ever in mixed martial arts." "He's 185 pounds, and he lands right in the middle of Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones, so he can fight both of those guys." Dana has yet to disappoint with a guarantee and the 38 year old Spider Silva looks to have an exciting path set up for his farewell tour through the UFC. According to Yardbarker Silva spoke to Portuguese website SporTV.globo.com and expressed the feeling that this fight will happen before the end of 2013. Silva, whom fights predominantly in Brazil, said that he is open to the fight being held in New York City. The assumed venue for the fight would be Madison Square Garden but I'm sure the Barclays Center will put in a bid for the biggest fight in MMA history.

I just made a career change recently, not because I didn't love what I was doing but my goal is to own my own business and I want to experience various aspects of business so that I can be best prepared when it comes time to take on that adventure! I am a fun and caring girl. I love watching and playing sports - I do a mean Turkish getup...just kidding I hate them but they kick my butt in a good way :] I also love animals, cooking, baking, reading, going to concerts,especially outdoor concerts, and more that we can find out if we end up talking and meeting one another. I'm independent and strong and have my own life but still find myself being that romantic searching for someone to share adventures and the stories that go along with them.

Very unusual performance. Quite enjoyable. Extremely short opera season. Don Giovanno was given only two nights before moving on the other cities.
Impressive and gorgeous Neoclassical building just behind Como's Duomo next to Piazza del Popolo. Amazing facade in a beautiful place, with stunning insides.
At first sight, it was love. Amazing facade in a beautiful place, gorgeous inside, lovely music and real opera.
Impressive Neoclassical building just behind Como's Cathedral.
We were in Como for a James Taylor concert and enjoyed every minute of the concert and everything about the Teatro Sociale. Even though our seats were along the side at the very top of the opera house it was still a wonderful experience. We had to lean over the rail to see, but from our vantage point we had...
We went to Teatro Sociale on the 25th March 2012 to see James Taylor.
The venue is absolutely gorgeous, one of the nicest venues I have visited. The seating is a mixture of Stalls in front of the stage and boxes. The seats are plush red velvet, fairly wide and very comfortable. Teatro Sociale has a very intimate feel which...
Whilst in Como we went with friends to see a production of Nino Rota's Il capello di paglia di firenze. It was a night to remember - beautifully directed down to every last detail.

Osprey's study of the most famous battle of the Third English Civil War (1649-1651). Having already allied with his father, the Scots' acceptance of Charles II as king in 1649 caused deep suspicion in England. In July 1650, Oliver Cromwell led a powerful force across the Scottish border to remove the problem. For six weeks Cromwell waged a frustrating campaign against a Scots enemy that refused to meet him in battle. By the beginning of September Cromwell's army, poorly supplied, exhausted and ravaged by sickness, was apparently trapped at Dunbar by a powerful Scots army. On 3 September he won his greatest military victory just outside the town, but in this book Stuart Reid suggests that his triumph may in fact have begun as a breakout attempt.

Chappell and Replogle Elected Season Captains
Aug. 29, 2010
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana Head Coach Bill Lynch announced fifth-year senior quarterback Ben Chappell and senior linebacker Tyler Replogle were elected season captains. Chappell served as a team captain in 2009 and Replogle was voted a game captain twice a season ago.
Chappell is on the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List and is a nominee for the AFCA Good Works Team and the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award. He sits in the top 20 among returning players nationally (2009 stats) in completions per game (22.33; 6th), passing yards (2,941; 12th), passing yards per game (245.08; 13th) and total offense (2,932; 20th). Those totals all rank first among Big Ten returners.
The Bloomington South graduate enters 2010 in the top 10 on the school's career lists for completion percentage (.599 - 1st), passing yardage (3,956 - 8th), completions (349 - 7th), attempts (583 - 8th), passing touchdowns (21 - 9th), total offense (4,022 - 10th), 300-yard games (three - 3rd) and 200-yard games (nine - 6th). He finished 2009 completing 268-of-428 passes (62.6 percent) for 2,941 yards with 17 touchdowns, 15 interceptions and a 126.44 efficiency rating.
Replogle is the sixth-leading returning tackler in the Big Ten heading into 2010. He finished 12th in the Big Ten with 7.3 tackles per game and 13th in league games only with 7.7 stops each time out last season. Replogle played in 11 games and started nine times at strong-side linebacker.
The Centerville, Ohio, product ended the year second on the team with 80 tackles and 51 solos to go along with two sacks, 6.5 tackles for loss and his first-career interception in the team's win over Akron.
Indiana will also elect two game captains each week to join Chappell and Replogle.

Stop Thinking Keywords, Think TopicsBlog Post: November 18, 2013
Keyword is semantical dead-end road. Search engines give less relevance to keywords at least since Schema.org was started. If one marks a page up with Schemaorg's microdata, so the "keyword" property can have only a text value, isn't extendable. But properties like "about" and "mentions", and newly "topic" (not official for now yet, linked to draft's page) can be extended with all available types and properties. So if we think the web semantically, this illustrate the way from strings (keyword) to things (semantically extendable meaning descriptions).

In the 1970s a famous ad campaign aimed at getting women to smoke proclaimed, "You've Come a Long Way, Baby." Today, women smoke almost as much as men. And they are suffering some of the same, if not greater, health consequences.
Women who smoke cigarettes have an increased risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and complications from birth control pills. Smoking causes 90 percent of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deaths in women each year. During pregnancy, cigarette smoking raises the risks of a low birth weight infant and infant death.
It's estimated that cigarette smoking kills 178,000 women in this country annually. On average, women smokers who die of smoking-related causes shorten their lives by nearly 15 years.
Women's risk of lung disease
Compared to women who don't smoke, female smokers aged 35 or older are:
- 14 times more likely to get lung cancer
- Almost 13 times more likely to die from emphysema or bronchitis
Smoking increases pregnancy risks
Cigarette smoking during pregnancy can cause serious health problems for an unborn child. It passes nicotine to the fetus and decreases the amount of oxygen that reaches the placenta by as much as 25 percent.
- Smoking during pregnancy accounts for 20 percent to 30 percent of low birthweight babies, up to 14 percent of pre term births, and about 10 percent of all infant deaths.
- Maternal smoking has been linked to asthma in infants and young children.
- Mothers who smoke and breast-feed their babies pass nicotine to their children through breast milk. Also, infants are more likely to get colds, earaches, bronchitis, and other respiratory diseases if secondhand smoke is present in the home or day care center.
- Research suggests that babies of mothers who smoke during and after pregnancy are two to three times more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than babies born to nonsmoking mothers.
Other health risks
Below are additional facts from the American Lung Association about the health risks faced by women smokers:
- Women who smoke double their risk of heart disease and increase their risk of certain cancers.
- Postmenopausal women who smoke have lower bone density and a higher risk of hip fracture than women who never smoked.
- Cigarette smoking causes skin wrinkling that makes smokers look less attractive and old before their time.

Re: Official AMD FX Bulldozer review thread!
I'm trying to figure out how this even happened. Looking at a 6 core Phenom II in terms of size/transistor count/performance, and looking at the improved version that was on the A series Fusion products(5-7% per clock faster) , this just seems impossible.
BD is almost 2 billion transistors and 315mm2 on 32nm.
Phenom II is only 907 million transistors and 346mm2 on 45nm.
If they just took the improved A series Phenom core, and put 8 of them on a chip, you'd end up with around 1.2 billion transistors and a die size of around 240mm2 on 32nm, with much better performance than this chip. They could have clocked it up faster because of the power savings. Why didn't they just do that? They've been making this thing for like 4 years, and it ends up worse than just a macro'd die shrink of their existing processor? I don't even understand how that can happen.

TELL CITY - Two Tell City police officers, acting on a tip Wednesday night, arrested a man who allegedly failed to return to a Daviess County, Ky. jail.
Patrolmen Bryce Hammack and Philip Flamion arrested Jason Carman near the Days Inn. Patrons inside the adjacent Borderline Cantina recognized Carman from a television news program and called police. Carman ran when he saw officers, but was quickly captured.
News accounts said Carman was allowed to leave the Daviess County Detention Center April 10 to attend his grandfather's funeral, but never returned.
TELL CITY - A man arrested by police at a methamphetamine lab on Sandstone Lane in 2007 will avoid prison if he successfully completes the county's drug-court program, but faces up to six years of electronic monitoring.
TELL CITY - "It is that time again. The wall is calling me," artist Emilie Young said of upcoming work sessions on Tell City's latest floodwall murals. Below is a list of hours for the next three weeks, weather permitting.
She will begin by finishing the panel depicting Ohio River flood before moving on to finish two other panels. "There will be plenty of opportunities for volunteers to come out and help. If you know of anyone interested in volunteering, please have them e-mail me, and I will add them to my volunteer list," she said.
The News incorrectly reported Thursday that Nancy Hensley identified herself as a former correctional officer during an April 11 meeting about the March 20 escape of prisoners from Branchville Correctional Facility.
Hats off to members of this year's graduating class of Leadership Perry County. The 10-person group has been working over the past eight months to learn more about our community and to hone their own personal leadership traits.
They continue a tradition going back more than 10 years and will join other graduates of the program dedicated to making Perry County a better place to live.
I would like to comment on the Thursday April 9 article (Editor) Vince Luecke wrote, reporting that my brother, Kenny Cronin, blasted and verbally assaulted Magistrate Werner. The definition of magistrate is: lower court judge; a judge in a lower court whose jurisdiction is limited to the trial of misdemeanors and the conduct of preliminary hearings on more serious charges.
TELL CITY - Twelve springs have passed since the body of 21-year-old Deborah (Mills) Cioe was found along Highwater Road. On Wednesday, a Perry County grand jury indicted two men for causing her death in 1997.
Arrested were Thomas E. Lane, 36, of 7076 Alamo Road, Tell City, and his cousin, Thomas D. Lane, 37, of 303 Washington St., Gentryville. Both face charges of murder, felony murder and attempted rape.
TELL CITY - Tell City-Troy Township School Corp. Superintendent Ron Etienne will stay another two years, Jerry Hoagland announced at a regular school-board meeting Tuesday.
"We interviewed several applicants," the school-board president said, "and the best conclusion was to talk the current superintendent into staying two more years."
Etienne came out of retirement in 2004 to take the corporation's leadership slot, but had announced he intended to step down this year.
TELL CITY - Tell City's downtown streets will test the mettle of more than 100 bicyclists Saturday for the William Tell Grand Prix.
The Perry County Convention and Visitors Bureau, the county's greenway committee and the Ohio Valley Velo-Elite Development Cycling Team are sponsoring the nine races Saturday that form the fourth race of the 2009 McDonalds Kentuckiana Spring Classic Series.
"I was told to expect between 100 and 200 racers and a lot of them will bring their families," said Bev Minto, the CVB's director.

Venus Williams Is Dating Cuban Model Elio Pis

Venus has a hot new man!
After dropping out of last year's U.S. Open and announcing she was suffering from Sjögren's Syndrome, a happy and healthy Venus Williams made a triumphant return to the New York Grand Slam tournament last week with her new boyfriend at her side. The tennis champ, 32, has been dating Cuban model Elio Alberto Pis, 24, for several months, PEOPLE has learned.
And it's been a love match on and off the court.
The couple were seen holding hands and sweetly kissing each other while walking through the corridors of Arthur Ashe Stadium. During all of her matches, Pis sat courtside with Williams's friends and family, cheering the two-time U.S. Open winner. Her return was cut short, though. Williams lost to Germany's Angelique Kerber in the second round on Aug. 30, and she was eliminated from the doubles competition with younger sister Serena on Sept. 3.
With Williams set to present her clothing line, EleVen, during New York Fashion Week, expect to see more of Pis. As he steps out with the tennis ace, here are five things to know about the guy that has won over her heart:

As the London 2012 Olympic Games press on, Saturday and Sunday's exciting events propelled British athletes to the forefront.
Although China leads with the most medals – 61, including 30 gold, 17 silver and 14 bronze – Team GB's victories helped boost the host country's morale with an outpouring of spirit and success during days 9 and 10 of the Games.
Team USA experienced highs and lows as well, as the medal count grew to 57 – 27 gold, 14 silver and 16 bronze – with Serena Williams taking home two gold medals and fan favorite McKayla Maroney's surprising finish in the women's vault final.
Serena Williams: Venus's Health Is More Important Than Tennis
Originally posted 09/05/2011 03:00PM
After Venus Williams withdrew from the U.S. Open on Wednesday and revealed she was suffering from the autoimmune disorder Sjögren's syndrome, younger sister Serena Williams says Venus's condition is improving and she's staying positive.
"She's doing better," Serena, 29, told PEOPLE Saturday night after defeating Belarus star Victoria Azarenka at the U.S. Open in New York. "It's a day at a time kind of a thing. Her spirits are good, however."
Some 4 million Americans suffer Sjögren's syndrome, which causes fatigue and joint pain and would affect the 31-year-old Venus's tennis future.

Tennis star Venus Williams withdrew from the U.S. Open tennis championship Wednesday, citing a recent autoimmune disease diagnosis.
Williams, 31, said in a statement that she is suffering from Sjögren's Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that causes fatigue and joint pain.
"I'm really disappointed to have to withdraw from this year's U.S. Open," she said in the statement, adding that her diagnosis is "an ongoing medical condition."
U.S. Open Tennis Stars and Their Dogs: It's a Love Match!
Originally posted 08/30/2011 04:05PM
Serena and Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova, Andy Roddick, and Novak Djokovic all have something in common, and it isn't just tennis – they all love their dogs! The first-round matches at this year's U.S. Open are underway, and these pro athletes have the support of their beloved pups, some of whom are getting to be just as famous as their owners.
The youngest Williams sister has two dogs, a Jack Russell terrier named Jackie and a Maltese named Lorelei. Serena has had Jackie since she was in high school and named her after Mariah Carey's Jack Russell Jack.
"I take my Jack Russell everywhere," Williams told PEOPLE. "I am so busy with tennis and my business interests, but I wanted to be at the game to support the team, and Jackie likes to be part of everything I do."

When it comes down to the numbers, Serena Williams has outdone older sister Venus.
But even with 27 grand slam titles, a No. 1 world ranking and a spot on women tennis' all-time greatest champions list, Serena says there's one thing Venus has that she always wanted – but never could get.
"I'm super-curvy. I have big boobs and this massive butt. [Venus is] tall and she's like a model and she fits everything," the younger Williams sister tells Harper's Bazaar.
"I was growing up, wanting to be her, wanting to look like her, and I was always fitting in her clothes, but then one day I couldn't," she recalls. "I was 23 when I realized that I wasn't Venus. She's totally different."

3% Polocaine® Dental(mepivacaine hydrochloride Injection, USP)2% Polocaine® Dentalwith Levonordefrin 1:20,000(mepivacaine hydrochloride and levonordefrin Injection, USP)
Mepivacaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic available as sterile isotonic solutions (clear, colorless) in concentrations of 1%, 1.5% and 2% for injection via local infiltration, peripheral nerve block, and caudal and lumbar epidural blocks.
Mepivacaine hydrochloride is related chemically and pharmacologically to the amide-type local anesthetics.
POLOCAINE (Mepivacaine HCl Injection, USP), is indicated for production of local or regional analgesia and anesthesia by local infiltration, peripheral nerve block techniques, and central neural techniques including epidural and caudal blocks.
The routes of administration and indicated concentrations for mepivacaine are:
local infiltration
0.5% (via dilution) or 1%
peripheral nerve blocks
1% and 2%
epidural block
1%, 1.5%, 2%
caudal block
See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION for additional information. Standard textbooks should be consulted to determine the accepted procedures and techniques for the administration of mepivacaine.

[2011.03]This blinded crossover study evaluated the efficacy and pain sensitivity evoked by a previously reported liposome-encapsulated mepivacaine formulation (Araujo et al., 2004). Thirty healthy volunteers received an intraoral injection (1.8 mL), at four different sessions, of the following formulations: 2% mepivacaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine (MVC(2%EPI)), 3% mepivacaine (MVC(3%)), and 2 and 3% liposome-encapsulated mepivacaine (MVC(2%LUV) and MVC(3%LUV))...
The effect of mixing 1.5% mepivacaine and 0.5% bupivacaine on duration of analgesia and latency of block onset in ultrasound-guided interscalene block. [2011.02]BACKGROUND: Short- and long-acting local anesthetics are commonly mixed to achieve nerve blocks with short onset and long duration. However, there is a paucity of data on advantages of such mixtures. We hypothesized that a mixture of mepivacaine and bupivacaine results in a faster onset than does bupivacaine and in a longer duration of blockade than does mepivacaine... CONCLUSIONS: For ultrasound-guided interscalene block, a combination of mepivacaine 1.5% and bupivacaine 0.5% results in a block onset similar to either local anesthetic alone. The mean duration of blockade with a mepivacaine-bupivacaine mixture was significantly longer than block with mepivacaine 1.5% alone but significantly shorter than the block with bupivacaine 0.5% alone.
Ketorolac-mepivacaine lower uterine block for in-office endometrial ablation: a randomized, controlled trial. [2010.11]OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) administered in combination with a local anesthetic as a deep paracervical block for in-office endometrial ablations... CONCLUSION: Injectable ketorolac-mepivacaine anesthetic solution functions well as a deep paracervical block for in-office gynecologic procedures, with better postoperative pain control than mepivacaine-alone protocols.
Effect of Epinephrine on Systemic Absorption of Mepivacaine in Uremic Patients [Recruiting]
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of epinephrine on systemic absorption of
local anaesthetic mepivacaine administered for brachial plexus block in uremic patients
scheduled for creation or repair of an arteriovenous fistula. Furthermore, an impact of
epinephrine on the central circulation and peripheral tissue oxygenation will be evaluated.
The Anesthetic Efficacy of 3% Mepivacaine Plus 2% Lidocaine With 1:100,000 Epinephrine for Lower Jaw Dental Injections [Recruiting]
The inferior alveolar nerve block (shot) is the most frequently used injection technique for
achieving local anesthesia (numbness) for the teeth in the lower jaw. However, this
injection does not always result in successful pulpal (tooth) anesthesia (patient felt
pain). No study has combined mepivacaine and lidocaine anesthetics (numbing solutions) for
this type of injection (shot). The investigators propose to compare an injection of
mepivacaine followed by lidocaine to an injection of lidocaine followed by lidocaine to
determine if there is a difference in effectiveness.
Study to Find Optimal Dose of Local Spinal Anesthetic (Mepivacaine) Combined With Narcotic (Fentanyl) For Knee Surgery [Recruiting]
Prolonged motor block and delayed ability to walk are limitations of spinal anesthesia in
ambulatory (same-day) surgery. This can be improved by lowering the dose of local anesthetic
(a medication that, when injected around nerves, blocks nerve conduction, resulting in
numbness and weakness) used in the spine, but too low a dose can result in an incomplete
block (inadequate anesthesia) in some patients. There is evidence that adding a low dose of
fentanyl, a narcotic, to mepivacaine enhances the anesthetic effect. The purpose of this
study is to determine the lowest dose of mepivacaine, a local anesthetic, when combined with
fentanyl, for which spinal anesthesia is adequate for ambulatory knee arthroscopy.
Spinal Mepivicaine With Fentanyl for Outpatient Knee Arthroscopy [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of intrathecal fentanyl to low
dose mepivacaine spinal anesthesia provides adequate surgical anesthesia with shorter
duration of motor blockade.
It is hypothesized that lower doses of spinal mepivacaine when combined with fentanyl will
result in adequate surgical block for knee arthroscopy surgery with faster recovery and
discharge compared to mepivacaine alone.
Ropivacaine vs Ropivacaine Plus Mepivacaine for Sciatic Block [Recruiting]
In loco regional anesthesia, much more than for general anesthesia, the choice of the product
is largely left at the discretion of the practitioner. Two categories of local anesthetics
are distinguished according to their pharmacodynamic characteristics: products with a short
time of installation and a short duration period, and products with a longer delay of
installation of the sensitive and motor block, but with a long-term duration. Indeed, the
combined use of two products pharmacodynamically different seems to be of a practical
This study provides a comparison of the onset of action of 30 ml of ropivacaine 0. 75% and
30ml of a mixture of ropivacaïne 0. 75% associated with mepivacaïne 1. 5% for the subgluteal
sciatic nerve block. This is a prospective randomized double-blind study where the main
criterion of judgment is the time of installation of a sensitive block compatible with
surgery in the sciatic territory nerve. Fifteen patients per group were calculated to detect
a 50% decrease of the onset of action in the combination group with a power of 90% and alpha
to 5%, according to a previous pilot study. The secondary endpoints are the intensity and
time of installation of the motor block, the duration of sensitive and motor block, the total
dose of morphine administered within 48 hours, as well as its possible side effects.
