BirdLife species factsheet for Martial Eagle Martial Eagle Polemaetus bellicosus has an extensive range across much of sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal and the Gambia, east to Ethiopia and north-west Somalia and south to Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. It is currently listed as Near Threatened because it approaches the thresholds for Vulnerable under criterion A2acde; it is suspected to have undergone moderately rapid declines over the past three generations (c.56 years in this species [BirdLife International, unpubl. data]), owing to habitat loss and incidental poisoning and pollution. However, recent information suggests that this species may have undergone more rapid declines than previously thought. It is generally scarce to uncommon or rare, but is reasonably common in some areas; the global population has previously been estimated at 10,000-100,000 individuals (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001). It is suspected to have undergone declines in much of its range, including Namibia (C. Brown in litt. 2009) and Nigeria (P. Hall in litt. 2009). Recent mapping of this species's distribution suggests that its range has decreased in Southern Africa over the past few decades, and that it is no longer doing well even in large conservation areas such as the Kruger National Park, South Africa (Underhill 2012). Also, there has only been one report of Martial Eagle in Niger since 1997 (J. Brouwer in litt. 2012). Although the overall rate of decline is difficult to quantify, if there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the population has declined by at least 30% over the past 56 years (three generations), this species would warrant uplisting to Vulnerable under criterion A2 of the IUCN Red List. If the population has reduced by at least 50% during this period, it would warrant uplisting to Endangered. Further information is required on this species's population size and trends, and comments on its proposed uplisting are welcome. References: Ferguson-Lees, J. and Christie, D. A.

You've heard of a honeymoon suite, but how about a treehouse for honeymooners?
Owners of Hope Glen Farm in Cottage Grove plan to build the metro's first-of-its-kind treehouse around a 75-year-old oak tree.
Couples who get married at the farm will have the option to stay in the treehouse after the wedding.
The treehouse will be 800 square feet, complete with a full kitchen, living room, fireplace and even an oversized bedroom.
"Every bride and groom is so excited, they're all excited and I keep telling them we're going to fill that place with romance and surprise and we will," said Hope Glen Farm owner Paula Bushilla.
Construction will begin in the fall and should be completed by next spring.
The owners expect the treehouse to cost $125,000 to build.

Like forth and twenty-one we bitch we kick it what up!
from XV (Ft. Sez Batters) – The L7 Motto Lyrics on Genius
Another double meaning
Kickin' it means to chill.
The football reference is if it is fourth down and 21 yards behind the first down line you probably shouldn't go for it.
You would most likely punt it or field goal kick depending where you are.

China Environment Fund: Doing Well by Doing Good
Christopher Marquis; Nancy Hua Dai
Price: $6.93
To maximize their effectiveness, color cases should be printed in color.
In early 2010, cleantech investment pioneer Tsing Capital was planning for the China Environment Fund IV and considering how to maintain its commitment to social and environmental practices. Tsing Capital embraced its philosophy of "Doing Well by Doing Good" and developed a proprietary system to manage social & environmental functions throughout the investment process. Some of the specific questions examined in the case are: with a more diversified investor base, how could the firm balance the different expectations of investors and continue to achieve "Doing Well by Doing Good"? Despite the increasing importance of social & environmental practices, they also had a cost for the firm and its portfolio companies. How could the firm most effectively motivate its portfolio companies to actively integrate social & environmental practices with their strategies?
Learning objective:
To examine the process of socially responsible investment and discuss the tactics of how a company balances financial, social and environmental returns.
Subjects Covered:
Air pollution; Business & government relations; Climate change; Corporations; Energy; Finance; Organizational change; Small & medium-sized enterprises; Social responsibility; Venture capital; Waste disposal

YIELD: Makes 24 hors d'oeuvres
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hr
TOTAL TIME: 1 hr
Melt butter in a 9- to 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, then cook mushrooms and shallots, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add water and cook, stirring, until liquid is evaporated and mushrooms are tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in tarragon.
While mushrooms are cooking, lightly beat together whole eggs, whites, parmesan, kosher salt, and pepper to taste.
Preheat broiler.
Add egg mixture to mushrooms, then cook over high heat, stirring briskly, until eggs are softly scrambled, 2 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and form frittata into a 6 1/2-inch square with a spatula. Cook over low heat until bottom is set, about 2 minutes.
Place skillet under broiler (wrap nonmetal handles in foil), 5 to 6 inches from heat, and broil until eggs are just firm to the touch and barely golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer frittata to a cutting board and cool. Trim edges of square, then cut frittata into 24 rectangles.
Cut each prosciutto slice lengthwise into 3 strips. Wrap a prosciutto strip lengthwise around each egg rectangle, then tie a chive around crosswise. Serve at room temperature.
Cooks' note: Frittata squares can be made 2 hours ahead and chilled, covered with a dampened paper towel, then with plastic wrap. Bring to room temperature before serving.

What is superfast broadband, fibre broadband, FTTP and FTTC?
Superfast broadband is the next generation of broadband, providing a faster and more reliable service. Superfast broadband delivers speeds of up to 330Mbps, compared with traditional, ADSL broadband, which in Cornwall averages at around 5-6 Mbps. Superfast broadband is 'superfast' thanks to fibre-optic cable which is used to deliver the service. The UK Government have recently defined superfast broadband as speeds > 24Mbps.
With FTTP (Fibre to the Premises), the fibre-optic cable runs all the way into the premises, giving very fast speeds of up to 330Mbps.
With FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet), the fibre-optic cable runs as far as the green roadside cabinet, and your copper telephone line is then used to deliver the last leg of the service. Speeds of up to 80Mbps are possible with this service.
With FTTC, your maximum speed will depend very much on the length of your copper telephone line from the cabinet. The vast majority of lines will support a maximum 'superfast' speed of > 24Mbps. You can still upgrade your service if you are further away from the cabinet and get speeds of between 2-24Mbps. Although these are not 'superfast' speeds by the new definition, they will provide uplift in speeds for the vast majority of premises.
The term 'fibre broadband', is taken to include both superfast speeds of > 24Mbps, and slower speeds that can be delivered over the network of 2-24Mbps.
Can I get fibre broadband?
Good news! There are many homes and businesses in Cornwall that can connect to fibre broadband straight away. Use our line checker (top right of this page) to see if that's you. If you fall into this category, then all you need to do is contact your Internet Service Provider to place an order.
Rolling-out the new fibre infrastructure will take time but we have completed the core network infrastructure. There will be some cases where smaller bit and pieces of build work will be continuing to increase the fibre footprint.
If fibre broadband is not currently an option for your home or business, register your details on our 'keep me in the loop' page and we'll let you know when it becomes available.
What about the estimated 5% of premises that won't be able to get fibre optic broadband?
If your home or business can't get fibre optic broadband, we're making use of other technologies, such as satellite and ADSL2+, with the aim of speeding up broadband for those beyond the fibre footprint.
Cornwall includes many remote areas where homes and businesses are very scattered, which means although 95% will benefit from fibre optic broadband, we just can't get it to every premises.
This 5%, approximately 13,000 properties, are split between those that currently get at least 2Mbps on their current broadband, and those that get below 2Mbps.
Some of those who get at least 2Mbps will gain access to faster broadband speeds thanks to additional exchange upgrades to ADSL2+.
For people with broadband speeds of less than 2Mbps, a satellite service may be an option. Please see our dedicated satellite page for more information.
Through a combination of different solutions, Superfast Cornwall will be trying to bring faster broadband to as many people as possible in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly; not only those that can access fibre optic broadband.
What does the future look like for fibre rollout in Cornwall?
A future programme is currently under development, and this is being managed by Cornwall Council. This future work is likely to be undertaken in two phases, with the long term aim of delivering 99% coverage of superfast broadband (30+Mbps) across Cornwall by 2020. This is challenging because the remote and harder to reach premises become significantly more expensive to do - reaching this level of coverage in a rural area has not yet been achieved anywhere in the world.
Funding has now been secured for the first phase, and a procurement process is underway to establish the potential coverage that this could deliver. This will make significant progress to delivering fibre solutions to the remaining premises. The postcodes that will be tackled as part of the first phase will depend on the outcomes of the modelling to be undertaken as part of the procurement process. The contract is expected to be signed by the end of June 2015. A second phase will be needed to complete the job, and the use of EU funds to deliver this in the next European programme is a real possibility.
As a baseline, Superfast Cornwall expect to deliver 95% fibre broadband coverage by the end of the current programme in 2015, with about 87% of Cornwall able to connect with superfast speeds of 30+Mbps. This means over 30,000 premises across nearly 5,000 postcode areas that would benefit from an uplift.
Why can't you tell me if I'm in the 5% beyond the fibre footprint?
At this stage, we still do not know all the premises that will be within the 5% unable to get fibre by the end of the programme in 2015. That is because we are still doing our very best to bring fibre to as many premises as possible. So the situation is still in flux, and the prospects for any one business or home may change. If you are in a remote location with very low broadband speeds and would like to know whether it looks unlikely you will be able to connect to fibre by the end of the programme, you can contact us and we will advise you, based on our current assessment of your situation. To find out whether satellite technology may be an option for you, please take a look at our satellite page. If you contact us at email@example.com we can discuss this with you further. Please bear with us- the only reason we cannot yet confirm exactly who will be in the 5% is that we are still trying to bring fibre to as many premises as possible.
Can I speed up the roll out in my area by encouraging others to register their interest?
The fibre broadband rollout in Cornwall is not dependent on the number of registrations of interest, although everyone interested should register with us.
Registrations of interest may help us plan technology solutions based on the needs of a particular community. If this is the case, we will talk to interested businesses and residents to best meet an area's specific requirements.
How do I get fibre broadband?
Once you've checked your line (see our line checker on the top right of this page) to confirm fibre broadband is available to you, it's much the same as ordering normal broadband. There are a number of different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offering the service, with prices starting from just £10.00 a month.
If fibre broadband is not currently available in your area, fill in your details on our 'keep me in the loop' page and we'll get in touch as soon as we know you can get it.
My line is connected directly to the exchange. Will I be able to get fibre broadband?
Most homes and businesses have a phone line which passes through a cabinet – these are the green boxes seen along roads. Exchange Only (EO) lines do not go through a green cabinet and are connected directly to the local telephone exchange. Extra planning and engineering work is required in order to upgrade EO lines for fibre broadband.
Good news! Many EO lines are being migrated to new green cabinets which are then being upgraded, and we will continue to do this until the end of the programme.
Even better news! Some EO customers will be enabled with Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) which will give them access the fastest fibre broadband speeds, currently up to 300Mbps.
Despite the upgrades for some EO lines, it will not be possible to upgrade all the EO lines in Cornwall and some will be in the 5% of premises (about 13,000) that will remain beyond the fibre footprint – please see our FAQ about premises in the 5%.
Fill in the Keep me in the Loop form and we will let you when you can get connected.
Watch our animation to see how EO and non-EO customers will be getting fibre broadband in Cornwall.
When fibre broadband becomes available will my broadband connection speed get faster automatically?
No, fibre broadband will not just automatically switch on. To get fibre broadband in Cornwall, you'll need to first check your line (upper right side of this page) and then place an order with your chosen Internet Service Provider (ISP). There are several ISPs offering fibre broadband in Cornwall so you can shop around and choose the package that is best for you. Prices start from just £10.00 a month.
Once your order has gone through, an engineer will install the necessary equipment at your premises.
Don't worry! If you choose not to upgrade to fibre broadband, you're existing service will not be affected.
What does fibre broadband cost?
Fibre broadband in Cornwall is super affordable, with prices starting from just £5 a month for home users and £30 for businesses, probably the same, or not much more than current broadband costs.
Want to get the best broadband deal? Why not review your contract for telephone calls at the same time. Shop around; there are a range of Internet Service Providers offering fibre broadband in Cornwall .
Why hasn't my business got it yet?
Over the last three years, Superfast Cornwall has brought fibre broadband to 92% of premises in the county, but we're very aware of the frustrations felt by businesses and residents who are still waiting for faster speeds.
We ask that you remain patient, the core network is in place and there are still bits and pieces of final build work to be completed. At this point in the project, engineers will face the more tricky part of the build and have to overcome the challenges and factors relating to difficult terrain and remoteness.
Unfortunately, it's difficult for us to predict future dates for individual connections as the build process is ongoing and often completes just before areas go live. Please know we're working hard to get the best solution for businesses and residents in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Also, we are well on target to bring 95% of residents and businesses onto the fibre footprint.
What is Fibre on Demand or FTTP on Demand (FOD)?
Fibre on Demand or FTTP on Demand (FOD) will allow some businesses connected to a fibre enabled cabinet to order a direct fibre to the premises (FTTP) connection. This is a premium service that will come with a significant connection charge and is likely to require a 3 year contract. Further details can be found here www.thinkbroadband.com/news/6208-fibre-on-demand-coverage-expansion-announced-by-openreach.html.
Currently Openreach have enabled the following exchanges in Cornwall for FOD: Redruth, St Agnes, Falmouth, Penryn, Bodmin, Bude, Camborne, Devoran, Hayle, Helston, Launceston, Liskeard, Newquay, Par, Penzance, St Austell, Stenalees, Truro, Threewaters and Veryan. In time, further exchanges are expected, but we do not yet have the timescale for these.
FOD is a very new product that is available from Openreach to service providers. At present only BT Business are choosing to make this available to end users, but we are expecting further ISPs to offer this service in time.
How long after I place an order will fibre broadband be installed, and what does installation involve?
Although timings may vary depending what Internet Service Provider you use, from order to installation of fibre broadband usually takes about two weeks in a Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) area.
On installation day, an engineer may come to your premises to install a fibre broadband modem and you will receive a new router from your Internet Service Provider. Existing telephone and computer equipment will not need to be replaced.
If you are in a Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) area, the installation is more complex and is a two stage process. Stage one involves running the fibre to a small box usually mounted on the side of your building. At times this can be challenging and in exceptional circumstances it may require extra network to be planned and built, which will take some time. During Stage two, another visit will undertake the final connection to provide you with service.
How fast is fibre broadband?
The exact fibre broadband speeds available to your premises will depend on where you live/work and how this premises is connected.
Fibre optic broadband can be delivered in two ways:
- Fibre to the cabinet: The fibre optic cabling runs from the telephone exchange to a local cabinet, the green boxes which you may have noticed by the side of the road. Copper wires are then used to run between the cabinet and your premises. This combination of fibre optic and copper can deliver speeds of up to 80Mbps for downloads.
- Fibre to the premises: At the cutting edge of superfast broadband technology, this is when fibre optic cable runs directly from the exchange right into your premises. Fibre to premises can deliver download speeds of up to 330Mbps.
The exact speed of your fibre broadband also depends on a number of additional factors: the length of your line from the telephone exchange or green cabinet, the line quality and the equipment and internal wiring within your premises. Superfast Cornwall is working to ensure that everyone gets as fast a speed as possible given their geographical location.
I am in an enabled area but I cannot get fibre broadband, why not?
If your property is in a fibre broadband enabled area on our map but you've had no joy with your Internet Service Provider, there may be a number of factors stopping you from accessing fibre broadband:
- Your line may be connected to a roadside cabinet that has not yet been upgraded to fibre broadband. There are more cabinets to go live by the end of the programme. Register on our keep me in the loop page and we'll let you know when fibre broadband is available.
- You may be an Exchange Only (EO) customer, which means your line is connected directly to the telephone exchange. Regulations do not currently allow fibre broadband to be delivered straight from the exchange. However, the first trial to provide fibre broadband to EO lines was successfully undertaken in Cornwall. You can find out more here.
- Your line may be too far away from the roadside cabinet to support superfast broadband. Where fibre optic fibre broadband is not available, Superfast Cornwall is developing alternative solutions to improve connection speeds.
Register your details on our keep me in the loop page for the latest fibre broadband news.
Watch our animation to see how fibre broadband is being rolled-out across Cornwall.
I want fibre broadband now! Can my area get it any earlier?
Superfast Cornwall is building Europe's largest rural fibre broadband network and it will take until 2015 to complete. There are over 250,000 premises in Cornwall and the new fibre broadband infrastructure needs to be physically built - it's not just a matter of flicking switches.
As this is such a pioneering programme, some of the capabilities needed to bring faster broadband to everyone are very new. Cornwall has been used as a 'test bed' for many of these cutting edge technologies, which include: 4G wireless broadband, TV Whitespace, wireless, satellite and solutions for what are known as Exchange Only (EO) lines – lines connected directly to the telephone exchange.
Why can't you tell me when my specific area is going live?
Information on new areas of availability has to be released to all internet service providers on an equivalent basis and that's why new areas are only announced as part of this national process when they go live.
Engineering plans and delivery timescales depend on factors such as planning applications, the provision of electricity to new roadside cabinets and the good old British weather! Rest assured; we're working as hard as we can, in fact, the Superfast Cornwall engineering team is breaking delivery timescale records to bring fibre broadband to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly as quickly as possible.
All these factors mean we can only announce new fibre broadband areas in Cornwall once they become live.
How does Superfast Cornwall plan the broadband roll out?
Superfast Cornwall's aim is to achieve the best long-term broadband coverage for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
It is inevitable that in a programme of this size some areas in Cornwall will get superfast broadband before others. Why one area is chosen over another is based on a number of factors: including local demographics and geography, planning requirements, the existing engineering infrastructure and the availability of suitable technologies.
At each stage, we have tried, where possible, to deliver fibre broadband to main towns and more isolated areas simultaneously. If your area is towards the bottom of the fibre broadband queue, we understand your frustration but rest assured we're working as quickly as possible, in fact Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are ahead of most other parts of the UK.
The roll out of fibre broadband in Cornwall will be completed in 2015; not too long to wait!
What about the areas that can't even get ordinary broadband?
There are a very small number of remote places in Cornwall which are unable to get ADSL broadband – 'notspots'. Through the Superfast Cornwall programme, we are finding new and ingenious solutions for these areas, such as utilising satellites, to ensure that there are absolutely no 'notspots' in Cornwall.
What are Mbps?
Mbps (or Mb/s) stands for Megabits per second, the way in which internet speeds are measured. One bit means one piece of basic information, and one Megabit is a million pieces of information. So, for fibre broadband customers in Cornwall, going from less than 2 Mbps to up to 330 Mbps, that's quite a leap, one which will transform the way they use the internet forever!
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is when software and data are no longer hosted on your computer, but remotely at a data centre, which means you can access the 'cloud' wherever and whenever you need it, and from any internet enabled device (laptops, tablets, phones etc.) Fibre broadband will allow more businesses and homes in Cornwall to take advantage of cloud computing, bringing cost and time-saving benefits, plus greater flexibility when it comes to how, when and where you access the internet.
You're probably using cloud computing already, without even realising it, through things like email accounts, Facebook, You Tube and Google Maps. Some cloud computing services are free and some are available as a pay-as you-go option.
For businesses in particular, cloud computing offers a lower cost solution, keeping technology-based capital expenditure down. Users can access the most sophisticated software and applications without having to purchase them outright.
There are a range of cloud computing services available, here are just a few examples:
- Amazon EC2 - virtual IT
- Google App Engine - application hosting
- Google Apps - software as a service
- Apple MobileMe - network storage
Other business specific applications, like CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems, are available from a number of suppliers.
What is a virtual private network (VPN)?
A virtual private network (VPN) is a computer network that enables remote offices or individual employees to get secure access to their organisation's network. This network uses encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure only authorised users can access the network and that data cannot be intercepted.
Companies and organisations use a VPN to communicate confidentiality over the internet, sending text, voice, video or other data to remote workers, offices or partners around the globe. Fibre broadband in Cornwall means businesses can utilise a VPN, enabling greater flexibility, including home working, which can bring many benefits, in terms of productivity, cost savings and work-life balance.
What is the contention ratio?
Under first generation broadband services 'contention ratio' was the term used to describe how many users might be sharing a connection at the busiest times of day, such as 20:1 between 4pm and 7pm.
With fibre broadband, rather than a contention ratio, some Internet Service Providers are choosing to guarantee a minimum throughput, such as 16Mb/s for 90% of the busiest time of day, for example.
I have data hosting needs, are there any facilities available in Cornwall?
There are a number of options for businesses or personal users who need data hosted in Cornwall:
- Server space can be rented, or existing servers can be co-located in a data centre
- Software and operating systems can be run remotely as a 'virtual machine' in the cloud.
Fibre broadband provides a number of advantages when hosting data in these ways: the upload speeds are much higher and back-ups can be more easily maintained.
For companies that do need to be closer to their data, for example medical information, there are established facilities in Exeter and Plymouth.
A company aiming to provide content that was predominantly used on the fibre broadband network in Cornwall would need to consider the advantages of hosting data more locally as this would reduce transit charges.
How can I meet connectivity needs over and above speeds delivered by fibre broadband
Many of the telecoms providers offer dedicated fibre leased line services to premises that need more than the connectivity delivered by fibre broadband in Cornwall.
Fourteen of the 100 exchanges in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are 'points of handover', exchanges where a number of providers will be able to deliver competitively priced links through to internet exchanges outside of Cornwall.

Adding and Deleting Fields to Tables
Even the best planned database will sometimes require you to add or delete a field in the Design View. To add a new field, select the row you want to insert above and choose Row from the Insert menu. If you need to delete a field, select the row containing the field and choose Delete Row from the Edit menu.
You can also move fields in the table design. Select the field you want to move by clicking on its row. A black triangle will appear to indicate the field is selected. Then, drag the field to the new location.
Cautions to Modifying your Table Design Structure
- Backup your table before you make any modifications to it.
- Deleting a field will delete the records in the field.
- If you delete a field and that field is used in any of your forms, queries or reports, you must also delete that field from these other documents.
- Renaming a field will have the same effect on a table as deleting the field.
- Resizing a field (making it smaller) may truncate the data in your forms or reports.

14. The method according to claim 10, which on administration to a healthy subject, provides Cmax of 2 to 20 ng/ml at a dosage of at least 2 mg.
15. The method according to claim 10, wherein Cmax is substantially unaffected by chewing.
16. A method for treating a human subject having a disorder capable of treatment with methylphenidate, which comprises administering to said subject a sustained-release formulation comprising an effective amount of d-threo-methylphenidate, wherein said sustained-release formulation is substantially free of 1-threo-methylphenidate, and wherein said effective amount of d-threo-methylphenidate administered to said subject is about 16 to 140 ng.h/ml.
This invention relates to a sustained-release formulation of methylphenidate.
Methylphenidate is a known drug. It is used primarily to treat hyperactive children. It is a controlled substance.
Methylphenidate is a chiral molecule. The properties of the enantiomers have been investigated to some extent, although the drug is still administered as the racemate. It is generally thought that d-threo-methylphenidate (abbreviated herein as dtmp) is the active material, and that its antipode (ltmp) is metabolised more rapidly.
Methylphenidate is often administered in a sustained-release formulation. For example, a coated tablet comprising racemic methylphenidate is administered, with a view to maintaining a therapeutically-effective level of the drug in circulation. This formulation does not provide satisfactory or reproducible dosing.
Srinivas et al, Pharmaceutical Research 10(1):14 (1993), disclose a further disadvantage of known methylphenidate sustained-release formulations, i.e. that serum levels of the drug are increased by chewing. Many children chew tablets, and are therefore liable to receive an unnecessarily high dose of a controlled substance.
Patrick et al, Biopharmaceutics and Drug Disposition 10:165-171 (1989), describe the absorption of sustained-release methylphenidate formulations compared to an immediate-release formulation. It is suggested that the optimum dosage of methylphenidate for children is 0.5-0.7 mg/kg/day.
The present invention is based on an appreciation of the fact that, although it is possible to provide a model of chiral drug distribution, and measure the concentration of individual enantiomers and their breakdown products in a subject, over time, this is a poor model for understanding the effectiveness of the enantiomers. Since, after an initial period, the sustained-release formulation should ideally release the active material as evenly as possible, the administration of a racemate, i.e. of two related compounds, takes no account of interaction between the enantiomers. According to this invention, it has surprisingly been found both that there is considerable interaction, and that dtmp provides relatively linear kinetics within the clinically effective dose range in a suitable model, and is therefore suitable for incorporation in a sustained-release formulation. The experiments and data on which this discovery is based are given below.
FIG. 1 shows a comparison of the area under the curve (AUC; ng.h/ml) for d-threo-methylphenidate (dtmp) and racemic methylphenidate at a range of doses.
The dtmp that is used in this invention is substantially free of its antipode (ltmp), e.g. in an enantiomeric excess (ee) of at least 70%, preferably at least 90%, and more preferably at least 95%. The dtmp may be substantially enantiopure. It may be used in the form of any suitable salt, e.g. the hydrochloride.
The dtmp may be administered by the same means as is known for racemic methylphenidate, in a sustained-release formulation, e.g. a coated tablet. It may be administered in any other conventional sustained-release formulation, via any suitable route of administration. Conventional dosing parameters may be adopted, i.e. those which are known to or adapted to the practice of those skilled in the art.
Compositions of the invention may be administered for known purposes, e.g. the treatment of attention-deficient hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; this term is used herein to encompass attention-deficit disorder) in pre-pubertal children and in adults, as a stimulant in cancer patients treated with narcotic analgesics, and also for the treatment of depression (e.g. in AIDS patients), compulsive shopping disorder, narcolepsy and hypersomnia. By contrast to known formulations of methylphenidate, the present invention may have any or all of the following advantages: linear kinetics within the clinically effective dose range, the reduction of exposure to a controlled substance, reduced side-effects (which include anorexia, insomnia, stomach ache and headache), reduced abuse potential, reduced Cmax, a reduced level of active material even when chewed, reduced patient variability, reduced interaction with ltmp or other drugs, and less variability between fed and fasted subjects.
By controlling the nature of the formulation, it is possible to control dissolution in vitro, and thus match or exceed the U.S. National Formulary (NF) drug release profile for methylphenidate hydrochloride. Further, when administered to a healthy subject, a serum level of dtmp can be attained that is at least 50% of Cmax, over a period of at least 8 hours, e.g. 8-16, 8-12 or 8-10 hours. Thus, for example, a shorter release period may be preferred or a different period before the serum level drops below a different proportion of Cmax.
The serum level may be also controlled so that it remains high during the day, after taking a dosage in the morning, and is reduced in the evening, before it can have any undesirable effect on sleeping patterns. Preferably, the serum level is at least 50% Cmax after 8 hours and less than 25% Cmax after 12 to 16 hours.
A formulation of the invention may be a unit dosage such as a tablet, capsule or suspension. It may be in matrix, coating, reservoir, osmotic, ion-exchange or density exchange form. It may comprise a soluble polymer coating which is dissolved or eroded, after administration. Alternatively, there may be an insoluble coating, e.g. of a polymer, through which the active ingredient permeates, as from a reservoir, diffuses, e.g. through a porous matrix, or undergoes osmotic exchange. A further option for a sustained-release formulation involves density exchange, e.g. in the case where the formulation alters on administration, e.g. from microparticles to a gel, so that the active ingredient diffuses or permeates out. Ion-based resins may also be used, the active component being released by ionic exchange, and wherein the rate of release can be controlled by using cationic or anionic forms of the drug.
It is preferred to use a formulation in this invention that is resistant to chewing, e.g. micronised particles that are individually coated and which do not immediately release the active component on chewing, or possibly even actively discourage chewing by their consistency. The various effects etc may be due to the use of dtmp and/or the absence of ltmp.
The study design was based on that described by Aoyama et al, J. Pharmacobio-Dyn. 13:647-652 (1990). Male Wistar rats were dosed with methylphenidate hydrochloride or its d-isomer at nominal dose levels of
racemate: 1.5, 3, 4.5 or 6 mg base/kg body weight
d-isomer: 0.75, 1.5, 2.25 or 3 mg base/kg body weight
Blood samples were taken pre-dose, and 7 min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4.5 h, 6 h, 8 h post-dose. The samples were centrifuged to separate the plasma. Plasma samples were assayed for dtmp, by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry.
The results are shown in the accompanying drawing. FIG. 1 gives a comparison of the AUC (area under the curve) for values, obtained from plasma concentration of dtmp, versus time, for dtmp and methylphenidate (at equivalent dtmp quantities) dosed at a range of dtmp concentrations. Both curves show non-linear kinetics, evident as a point of disjunction in each curve. As the doses administered are increased, the quantity absorbed (i.e. AUC) increases in a linear fashion, until the disjunction, when the absorbed quantity is dramatically increased. This disjunction occurs within the clinically-relevant range (16-140 ng.h/ml in humans) for racemate dosing, but, surprisingly, is outside of this range for dtmp dosing.
This means that conventional dosing of the racemate, which involves increasing amounts of the drug, cannot be satisfactorily controlled. The possibility exists that a dosage will be given that is unnecessarily high.
Administration of dtmp has a surprising beneficial effect, in that a relatively linear dtmp AUC level in serum (lower curve) is achieved within the clinically-relevant range. The point of disjunction occurs outside the clinically-relevant range and, therefore, the flux of drug into and out of the circulatory system is more controllable. This makes dtmp suitable for incorporation in a sustained release formulation.

Transport in the Central African Republic
|This article has no lead section. (February 2013)
|To meet Wikipedia's quality standards, this article may require rewriting and/or reformatting.
There are presently no railways in the Central African Republic.
A line from Cameroon port of Kribi to Bangui was proposed in 2002.[1]
In 2002, the country had 23,810 km (14,796 mi) of roads, of which only 429 km (267 mi) were paved. A rehabilitation project, begun in 1974 and completed ten years later, centered on three highways running north, west, and south from Nola. In 2003, there were about 1,850 passenger cars and 1,650 commercial vehicles in use.
- Total: 23,810 km
- Paved: 643 km
- Unpaved: 23,167 km (1999 est.)
Major roads include:
- RN1 (Route Nationale 1) north from Bangui. 482 km via Bossangoa to Moundou, Chad.
- RN2 east from Bangui. 1202 km via Bambari and Bangassou to the Sudanese border at Bambouti.

The Climate Changes on Harry Reid
Harry Reid is dumping legislation dealing with energy and the Gulf oil spill from the Senate docket. Insufficient Democratic support is a major reason the bill can't clear a Senate where Democrats hold 59 seats. But that's not how the Senate majority leader sees it.
"It's a sad day when you can't find a handful of Republicans to support a bill" that holds BP accountable and creates green jobs, Reid complained to reporters, according to the Hill.

Mideast Crisis 2] (MEC2) is a total conversion for 'Command and Conquer 3 - Tiberium Wars' set in the near future, letting you use modern technology (such as the Abrams, F-35 and Hind) alongside future technology (such as Drones, Airships and Medibots) in a conflict ranging from Jerusalem to Beirut.

apart form a few bugs which can be overlooked, the game seems somewhat of a "propaganda" and can be insulting by some of the things the GOI say (which are actually quite blasphemous).
Basically, the mod puts down all the factions (EU's westerners and GOI's "Arabs".) except the IDF.
To be fair, the game has good "modern" elements which I enjoy, and it is playable if I turn off the NPC voices.

MADISON – Madison youth proved their skill in a classic strategy game at the 2013 Queen's Quest Chess Tournament on May 18.
Horizon Elementary School hosted the tourney, which was rated by the United States Chess Federation (USCF). Huntsville Chess Club officiated the games. Players competed in primary, elementary, junior high and open (grades K-12) divisions.
"Horizon took first place in the primary division of Queen's Quest with a team of Henry Holland in third place, Jacob Holland in fourth place, Aidan Reyes in fifth place, Christos Prapiadis, Sawyer Varga, Jaden Edwards, Will Parker, Nicholas Marden and Ryland Segerson," coach Beth Bero said. Bero works as gifted specialist at Horizon.
In addition, Horizon student Cuong Vo earned a personal second place in the elementary division. In the junior high division for grades 6-8, Corbin Holland (who earned second place), Douglas Zhang and Wyatt Varga captured the third-place team trophy.
"The Rainbow Elementary School Chess Team made a fantastic showing at the Queen's Quest tournament," parent volunteer Ranae Bartlett said.
Rainbow's fourth- and fifth-grade team earned first place. Team players were Will Bao, Hayden Billman, Nolan Drummond, Will Griffith, Steven Lockwood, Andrew Luttrell, Steven Satcher, Jimmy Sieja, Michael Guthrie, Erin Kueck, Sulekha Ramesh and Kyle Toutanji.
Winners from Rainbow in individual awards were Michael Guthrie, fifth place; Sulekha Ramesh, ninth place; Noland Drummond, tenth place; and Kyle Toutanji, eleventh place.
Rainbow's team for grades K-3 advanced to second place. Members were Ben Lessmann, Ethan Kueck, Constance Wang, Jonathan Yang, Aparna Bhooshanan, Michael Edgemon, Ben Kosan, Maanasi Limaye, Boone Ramsey, Jenson Wilhelm and Mercedes Zich.
Individual awards went to Rainbow students Jenson Wilhelm, second place; Maanasi Limaye, sixth place; Boone Ramsey, eighth place; Constance Wang, ninth place; Aparna Bhooshanan, tenth place; and Mercedes Zich, eleventh place.
Bob Jones High School won first place in team competition. Columbia and West Madison elementary schools rated third and fourth places, respectively, in their divisions.

Hi, as said above, I noticed my profile was saying I had 5 posts, and was following 5 users. I -just- registered and this is my first post here on gamespot. Clicking on the posts, I didn't see any there, but my profile says I do. As for following users, I do see 5 users there. if needed, I can screenshot, although, you could just look at my profile. if someone could answer, that would be great, thanks. cx
i registered with my google account, if that information is needed. ^^
and if i might of missed something, or if this is a common issue that's obvious, i apologize.

tors while they view the same events directly, they are likely to "discover" that monitors can portray parts of the world that they otherwise cannot see (Bloomsmith 1989). For example, chimpanzees can garner important information from video monitors about the locations of foods and incentives and about the course of activities in areas beyond their view (Menzel and others 1985). Chimpanzees can come to prefer watching specific video-taped recordings, especially those of other chimpanzees they know, but there is little reason to believe that they profit from watching ordinary television programming other than nature films on conspecifics. They might attend to programs showing vigorous human interactions, such as dancing and sports (e.g., wrestling, boxing, and football) (D.M. Rumbaugh, unpublished data). Providing television sets for animals in laboratories and on exhibit has a certain appeal to humans, but benefits to the animals are dubious.
Despite their impressive cognitive abilities and interest in a wide variety of puzzles and cognitive challenges, there is as yet no way to assess a "need" for intellectual exercise in great apes. Ordinary social living in a well-designed enclosure might provide chimpanzees and other great apes all the intellectual stimulation that they require. Although attempts at enrichment should certainly be directed at singly caged animals in restricted environments (Nadler and others 1992), those in social groups also benefit greatly from an enriched environment.
Caregivers should be sensitive to apes as individuals. Apes often do not trust unfamiliar people, so new caregivers should be introduced systematically and gradually. In this way, both humans and apes learn what to expect from one another, and experienced personnel recognize the needs of their charges (Baker 1997). Feeding time is a very important time of day, and feeding practices should be such as to encourage caregiver-animal communication. Feeding and cleaning practices can serve to establish good relationships between caregivers and apes that, in turn, enrich the apes' lives and also inform the caregivers regarding the animals' behavior and physical condition.
Not only should personnel be trained and experienced in the behavior of apes, but it is imperative that they be trained in safety. Great apes are very powerful, active, and sometimes devious. Primates in general will harm people only in defense or in reaction to a threat, but a chimpanzee's aggressive actions are unpredictable and often seem premeditated. Such serious injuries as loss of fingers, bite and scratch wounds, and lacerations have been suffered by people working with apes. Chimpanzees should be treated with respect throughout their development. They have long memories and will recognize a favored or disfavored human after several years of separation.
Personnel should be continually reminded of established safety procedures. Cages should be designed to prevent the apes from reaching outside the cage.
