Read the Medication Guide that comes with ADVAIR DISKUS before you start using it and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This Medication Guide does not take the place of talking to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.
What is the most important information I should know about ADVAIR DISKUS?
ADVAIR DISKUS can cause serious side effects, including:
- People with asthma who take long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA)
medicines, such as salmeterol (one of the medicines in ADVAIR DISKUS), have
an increased risk of death from asthma problems. It is not known whether
fluticasone propionate, the other medicine in ADVAIR DISKUS, reduces the risk
of death from asthma problems seen with salmeterol.
- Call your healthcare provider if breathing problems worsen over time while using ADVAIR DISKUS. You may need different treatment.
- Get emergency medical care if:
- breathing problems worsen quickly and
- you use your rescue inhaler medicine, but it does not relieve your breathing problems.
- ADVAIR DISKUS should be used only if your healthcare provider decides that your asthma is not well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine, such as inhaled corticosteroids.
- When your asthma is well controlled, your healthcare provider may tell you to stop taking ADVAIR DISKUS. Your healthcare provider will decide if you can stop ADVAIR DISKUS without loss of asthma control. Your healthcare provider may prescribe a different asthma control medicine for you, such as an inhaled corticosteroid.
- Children and adolescents who take LABA medicines may have an increased risk of being hospitalized for asthma problems.
What is ADVAIR DISKUS?
- ADVAIR DISKUS combines an inhaled corticosteroid medicine, fluticasone propionate
(the same medicine found in FLOVENT®), and a LABA medicine, salmeterol
(the same medicine found in SEREVENT®).
- Inhaled corticosteroids help to decrease inflammation in the lungs. Inflammation in the lungs can lead to asthma symptoms.
- LABA medicines are used in people with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). LABA medicines help the muscles around the airways in your lungs stay relaxed to prevent symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. These symptoms can happen when the muscles around the airways tighten. This makes it hard to breathe. In severe cases, wheezing can stop your breathing and cause death if not treated right away.
- ADVAIR DISKUS is used for asthma and COPD as follows:
ADVAIR DISKUS is used to control symptoms of asthma and to prevent symptoms such as wheezing in adults and children aged 4 years and older.
ADVAIR DISKUS contains salmeterol (the same medicine found in SEREVENT). LABA medicines, such as salmeterol, increase the risk of death from asthma problems.
ADVAIR DISKUS is not for adults and children with asthma who are well controlled with an asthma control medicine, such as a low to medium dose of an inhaled corticosteroid medicine.
COPD is a chronic lung disease that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50 is used long term, 2 times each day to help improve lung function for better breathing in adults with COPD. ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50 has been shown to decrease the number of flare-ups and worsening of COPD symptoms (exacerbations).
Who should not use ADVAIR DISKUS?
Do not use ADVAIR DISKUS:
- to treat sudden, severe symptoms of asthma or COPD and
- if you have a severe allergy to milk proteins. Ask your doctor if you are not sure.
What should I tell my healthcare provider before using ADVAIR DISKUS?
Tell your healthcare provider about all of your health conditions, including if you:
- have heart problems
- have high blood pressure
- have seizures
- have thyroid problems
- have diabetes
- have liver problems
- have osteoporosis
- have an immune system problem
- are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It is not known if ADVAIR DISKUS may harm your unborn baby.
- are breastfeeding. It is not known if ADVAIR DISKUS passes into your milk and if it can harm your baby.
- are allergic to any of the ingredients in ADVAIR DISKUS, any other medicines, or food products. See the end of this Medication Guide for a complete list of the ingredients in ADVAIR DISKUS.
- are exposed to chickenpox or measles
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. ADVAIR DISKUS and certain other medicines may interact with each other. This may cause serious side effects. Especially, tell your healthcare provider if you take ritonavir. The anti-HIV medicines NORVIR® (ritonavir capsules) Soft Gelatin, NORVIR (ritonavir oral solution), and KALETRA® (lopinavir/ritonavir) Tablets contain ritonavir.
Know the medicines you take. Keep a list and show it to your healthcare provider and pharmacist each time you get a new medicine.
How do I use ADVAIR DISKUS?
See the step-by-step instructions for using ADVAIR DISKUS at the end of this Medication Guide. Do not use ADVAIR DISKUS unless your healthcare provider has taught you and you understand everything. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have any questions.
- Children should use ADVAIR DISKUS with an adult's help, as instructed by the child's healthcare provider.
- Use ADVAIR DISKUS exactly as prescribed. Do not use ADVAIR DISKUS more often than prescribed. ADVAIR DISKUS comes in 3 strengths. Your healthcare provider has prescribed the one that is best for your condition.
- The usual dosage of ADVAIR DISKUS is 1 inhalation 2 times each day (morning and evening). The 2 doses should be about 12 hours apart. Rinse your mouth with water after using ADVAIR DISKUS.
- If you take more ADVAIR DISKUS than your doctor has prescribed, get medical help right away if you have any unusual symptoms, such as worsening shortness of breath, chest pain, increased heart rate, or shakiness.
- If you miss a dose of ADVAIR DISKUS, just skip that dose. Take your next dose at your usual time. Do not take 2 doses at one time.
- Do not use a spacer device with ADVAIR DISKUS.
- Do not breathe into ADVAIR DISKUS.
- While you are using ADVAIR DISKUS 2 times each day, do not use other medicines that contain a LABA for any reason. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist if any of your other medicines are LABA medicines.
- Do not stop using ADVAIR DISKUS or other asthma medicines unless told to do so by your healthcare provider because your symptoms might get worse. Your healthcare provider will change your medicines as needed.
- ADVAIR DISKUS does not relieve sudden symptoms. Always have a rescue inhaler medicine with you to treat sudden symptoms. If you do not have an inhaled, short-acting bronchodilator, call your healthcare provider to have one prescribed for you.
- Call your healthcare provider or get medical care right away if:
- your breathing problems worsen with ADVAIR DISKUS
- you need to use your rescue inhaler medicine more often than usual
- your rescue inhaler medicine does not work as well for you at relieving symptoms
- you need to use 4 or more inhalations of your rescue inhaler medicine for 2 or more days in a row
- you use 1 whole canister of your rescue inhaler medicine in 8 weeks' time
- your peak flow meter results decrease. Your healthcare provider will tell you the numbers that are right for you.
- you have asthma and your symptoms do not improve after using ADVAIR DISKUS regularly for 1 week
What are the possible side effects with ADVAIR DISKUS?
ADVAIR DISKUS can cause serious side effects, including:
- See "What is the most important information I should know about ADVAIR DISKUS?"
- serious allergic reactions. Call your healthcare provider or get emergency medical care if you get any of the following symptoms of a serious allergic reaction:
- sudden breathing problems immediately after inhaling your medicine
- effects on heart
- increased blood pressure
- a fast and irregular heartbeat
- chest pain
- effects on nervous system
- tremor
- nervousness
- reduced adrenal function (may result in loss of energy)
- changes in blood (sugar, potassium, certain types of white blood cells)
- weakened immune system and a higher chance of infections
- lower bone mineral density. This may be a problem for people who already have a higher chance of low bone density (osteoporosis).
- eye problems including glaucoma and cataracts. You should have regular eye exams while using ADVAIR DISKUS.
- slowed growth in children. A child's growth should be checked often.
- pneumonia. People with COPD have a higher chance of getting pneumonia. ADVAIR DISKUS may increase the chance of getting pneumonia. Call your healthcare provider if you notice any of the following symptoms:
Common side effects of ADVAIR DISKUS include:
- upper respiratory tract infection
- throat irritation
- hoarseness and voice changes
- thrush in the mouth and throat
- bronchitis

- nausea and vomiting
In children with asthma, infections in the ear, nose, and throat are common.
- thrush in the mouth and throat
- throat irritation
- hoarseness and voice changes
- viral respiratory infections
- headache
- muscle and bone pain
Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
These are not all the side effects with ADVAIR DISKUS. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1800-FDA-1088.
How do I store ADVAIR DISKUS?
- Store ADVAIR DISKUS at room temperature between 68° F to 77° F (20°C to 25° C). Keep in a dry place away from heat and sunlight.
- Safely discard ADVAIR DISKUS 1 month after you remove it from the foil pouch, or after the dose indicator reads "0", whichever comes first.
- Keep ADVAIR DISKUS and all medicines out of the reach of children.
General Information about ADVAIR DISKUS
Medicines are sometimes prescribed for purposes not mentioned in a Medication Guide. Do not use ADVAIR DISKUS for a condition for which it was not prescribed. Do not give your ADVAIR DISKUS to other people, even if they have the same condition that you have. It may harm them.
This Medication Guide summarizes the most important information about ADVAIR DISKUS. If you would like more information, talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. You can ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for information about ADVAIR DISKUS that was written for healthcare professionals. You can also contact the company that makes ADVAIR DISKUS (toll free) at 1-888-825-5249 or at www.advair.com.
What are the ingredients in ADVAIR DISKUS?
Active ingredients: fluticasone propionate, salmeterol xinafoate
Inactive ingredient: lactose (contains milk proteins)
Instructions for Using ADVAIR DISKUS
Follow the instructions below for using your ADVAIR DISKUS. You will breathe in (inhale) the medicine from the DISKUS®. If you have any questions, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Take ADVAIR DISKUS out of the box and foil pouch. Write the "Pouch opened" and "Use by" dates on the label on top of the DISKUS. The "Use by" date is 1 month from date of opening the pouch.
- The DISKUS will be in the closed position when the pouch is opened.
- The dose indicator on the top of the DISKUS tells you how many doses are left. The dose indicator number will decrease each time you use the DISKUS. After you have used 55 doses from the DISKUS, the numbers 5 to 0 will appear in red to warn you that there are only a few doses left (see Figure 1). If you are using a "sample" DISKUS, the numbers 5 to 0 will appear in red after 9 doses.
Figure 1
Taking a dose from the DISKUS requires the following 3 simple steps: Open, Click, Inhale.
Hold the DISKUS in one hand and put the thumb of your other hand on the thumbgrip. Push your thumb away from you as far as it will go until the mouthpiece appears and snaps into position (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
Hold the DISKUS in a level, flat position with the mouthpiece towards you. Slide the lever away from you as far as it will go until it clicks (see Figure 3). The DISKUS is now ready to use.
Figure 3
Every time the lever is pushed back, a dose is ready to be inhaled. This is shown by a decrease in numbers on the dose counter. To avoid releasing or wasting doses once the DISKUS is ready:
- Do not close the DISKUS.
- Do not tilt the DISKUS.
- Do not play with the lever.
- Do not move the lever more than once.
Before inhaling your dose from the DISKUS, breathe out (exhale) fully while holding the DISKUS level and away from your mouth (see Figure 4). Remember, never breathe out into the DISKUS mouthpiece.
Figure 4
Put the mouthpiece to your lips (see Figure 5). Breathe in quickly and deeply through the DISKUS. Do not breathe in through your nose.
Figure 5
Remove the DISKUS from your mouth. Hold your breath for about 10 seconds, or for as long as is comfortable. Breathe out slowly.
The DISKUS delivers your dose of medicine as a very fine powder. Patients may or may not taste or feel the powder. Do not use an extra dose from the DISKUS if you do not feel or taste the medicine.
Rinse your mouth with water after breathing-in the medicine. Spit the water out. Do not swallow.
4. Close the DISKUS when you are finished taking a dose so that the DISKUS will be ready for you to take your next dose. Put your thumb on the thumbgrip and slide the thumbgrip back towards you as far as it will go (see Figure 6). The DISKUS will click shut. The lever will automatically return to its original position. The DISKUS is now ready for you to take your next scheduled dose, due in about 12 hours. (Repeat steps 1 to 4.)
Figure 6
- Never breathe into the DISKUS.
- Never take the DISKUS apart.
- Always ready and use the DISKUS in a level, flat position.
- Do not use the DISKUS with a spacer device.
- After each dose, rinse your mouth with water and spit the water out. Do not swallow.
- Never wash the mouthpiece or any part of the DISKUS. Keep it dry.
- Always keep the DISKUS in a dry place.
- Never take an extra dose, even if you did not taste or feel the medicine.

Vegetables of the genus Allium are widely consumed but remain poorly understood genetically. Genetic mapping has been conducted in intraspecific crosses of onion (Allium cepa L.), A. fistulosum and interspecific crosses between A. roylei and these two species, but it has not been possible to access genetic maps and underlying data from these studies easily.
An online comparative genomics database, AlliumMap, has been developed based on the GMOD CMap tool at http://alliumgenetics.org webcite. It has been populated with curated data linking genetic maps with underlying markers and sequence data from multiple studies. It includes data from multiple onion mapping populations as well as the most closely related species A. roylei and A. fistulosum. Further onion EST-derived markers were evaluated in the A. cepa x A. roylei interspecific population, enabling merging of the AFLP-based maps. In addition, data concerning markers assigned in multiple studies to the Allium physical map using A. cepa-A. fistulosum alien monosomic addition lines have been compiled. The compiled data reveal extensive synteny between onion and A. fistulosum.
The database provides the first online resource providing genetic map and marker data from multiple Allium species and populations. The additional markers placed on the interspecific Allium map confirm the value of A. roylei as a valuable bridge between the genetics of onion and A. fistulosum and as a means to conduct efficient mapping of expressed sequence markers in Allium. The data presented suggest that comparative approaches will be valuable for genetic and genomic studies of onion and A. fistulosum. This online resource will provide a valuable means to integrate genetic and sequence-based explorations of Allium genomes.

Having a family of your own is a beautiful thing, and it simply doesn't matter how your family is created. Whether you're a birth parent or adoptive parent, your baby is your baby. He or she is part of your family and that's all that matters.
One of the unfortunate challenges that adoptive parents face, however, is an adoption scam. There are a number of different ways in which scammers target couples looking to adopt, and it's a heartbreaking experience for a family who so desperately wants a child. Know the clues so you don't find yourself the victim of an adoption scam.
Questionable emails
When you're contacted about an adoption, study the email address and what the subject line has to say. Generic email addresses don't necessarily mean anything, but they might raise a red flag.
The subject line can also wave a red flag and alert you to a possible scam. For example, birth parents looking to find a family for their unborn child are not likely to title their emails, "Here's a baby for you," or "The perfect baby for your family."
Personal email addresses and personalized messages are more likely to come from parents looking to place their child in a good home. They won't send a generic message that's impersonal and cavalier.
Asking for money
Any time birth parents or a representative of birth parents asks you for money before you are placed with your child, run in the opposite direction. This is simply not how adoption works. Treat any request for money as a big red flag, and don't pay anyone.
Request for other items
Another suspicious sign is a request for plane tickets or other transportation methods when it comes to adoption services. If a birth mother is requesting that you pay for something for her, don't do it. It's a red flag that could signify she's looking to use you however she can before she moves on to some other unsuspecting family.
Unfortunately, adoption scams happen. To minimize your chances of being targeted, consider adopting through different means. Becoming a foster parent is a start on the road to adoption. It's a noble act.
If ever you see any of the red flags above that are associated with adoption scans, don't hesitate to cut off communication or demand legal proof of pregnancy and willingness to adopt.

Agreed KJ. Get the best GM that all of Pauls money can buy. The rest falls into place. Oh and Paul needs to keep his hands out of the mix that is why you have a GM.
So how much is enough? I say the year and give the scholarship to a deserving upstanding citizen. I know a lot of teenage kids who make smart choices and need the money. They are out there you just need to look.
And you are an idiot. Jordan is not as squeeky clean and nice guy like all think.
Yeah it happens all over because there is no accountability for anyone anymore. You do wrong you get a one game suspension and woohoo all better. These kids are playing with other peoples money when they get a full ride scholarship. If coaches took away a scholarship maybe they would fly right or worst case they leave the school. But all coaches and schools need to do it. A player leaving and getting on with another school is like asking mommy if you can do something and when she says no you run to daddy. It is getting old and every year seems to bring on more of these. And yes I am a Beaver fan that suggests Poyer get kicked off if he is really guilty. Clean house.
As a Beaver fan uoduck70 I say yes kick him off the team but only if he is guilty. I have said it before and I will say it again I don't care what school they are from if these kids can't keep it straight get rid of them. If every school did that then you would see a change in behavior by these players of all sports. BUT not all schools do that and so the pressure is on for each college to keep up with the Joneses mentality. I have said it at work and play a good firing and everybody else flies straight. If Jordan is truely guilty this would be one of those good firings. I am hugely disappointed by this story, he is supposed to be a leader. HUGE Disappointment.
Would not watch the USFL no matter who was on the team.
I say go but keep him as an assistant to a new GM after all Paul may can the next guy in a few short months and we need him to step up again and he knows this team.
Duh! Leave now.
Some people think that Nic will never hit his potential but like Quick said he is only 23 years old. Batum has improved each year albeit slow but last year he showed he can score, drive the ball, hit the outside shot and best of all this kid loves to play defense. How many times did he run down some one from the other team from behind to swat the ball away when they should have had an easy layup. I think he gets signed to what ever they have to match and he breaks out next year. Keep this kid at all costs.
This Beaver team needs to find a bullpen and soon.
Just not enough playing time and with injuries it is hard to say what the kids future will be but the flashes he has shown say's keep him and see what he has next year. I would expect him in the rotation next year if he is as good as some believe.
Let's start a trend right now and cut the guilty parties and don't let them come back to the team. I don't care what school you support there are kids out there that seem to be great players and become successful in life without having to be stupid. Yes they deserve a second chance in life but not when someone else is paying for their scholarship. When is to late to grow up? And don't tell me they are just kids being kids because I know plenty of kids that have grown up much sooner than these nuts. And yes I am a Beaver fan.
So the weasel still has a job? After Colorado, Washington and then the Bruins we put this guy on the air?
There was no maybe button so I pushed yes. I liked his range as a center and his shots were consistant. He rebounded and helped with the second string. That being said he is now one year older and he was old last year so does he still have it in him? If he needed to be let go for the benefit of picking up someone younger and better I would not have any problem with that.
I want to know why he meddles so much with drafting players. Look at the list he mentions and how they all turned out. Hire a basketball minded guru as GM and then back away and let him go to work. Lots of positives with deep draft and picks and money to burn so go get your guy and stick with him.
My thoughts exactly KJ. Nolan does deserve a chance which he was never really given. I hated this last season and how it went for all teams.
Size does not ensure one of desire and ability and Thabeet has size but I am wavering on the ability and desire so go it is.
Thanks for explaining this every day Sean to those who don't read but just comment willy nilly.

Isaiah paints a picture of what God's world can and will become. Jim Wilson suggests that the new heavens and the new earth emerge as the daily clean-up activity of God rather than through a cataclysmic end time event.
God, the Garbage Man
The 25th Sunday after Pentecost C November 14, 2010 Green
Isaiah 65:17-25, Isaiah 12, 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13, Luke 21:5-19
"For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind." Isaiah 65:17 (NRSV)
"When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately." Luke 21:9 (NRSV)
"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. And you will say in that day: Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations; proclaim that his name is exalted." Isaiah 12:3-5 (NRSV)
So read the concrete cross beside the highway,
no wood to rot, nor steel to rust,
a message designed for eternity
The sun set last night
rising at the crack of dawn today,
what was yesterday no longer binds,
the liberation of the new day magnificent
The end of it all?
perhaps, but not just yet,
the promise of today being lived
'tis ours to celebrate
Today salvation knocks,
offering peace in the midst of turmoil,
sanity in spite of our many wars and insurrections
the time thereof is constantly at hand
An eschaton? Cataclysmic upheaval?
Out there somewhere,
or simply the setting and rising of the sun
while being lifted to the breast of God for our daily feeding
The real presence of the Lord of Hosts,
a constant reality,
now to proclaim such truth
to all the nations and down the street and within our soul
Though the dream of many in scripture seems to be for an end of the present order and the beginning of a new one, we are not compelled to think of this in "end time" theology, I prefer to note this as a daily gift of God, coming to us as Bishop Pike stated in one of his books, "God is like a garbage man, taking the trash from our lives day after day." -- Jim Wilson

Spring 2011 Fashion Week Trend: Architectural Construction
September 19th, 2010
Photo Credit: Style.com
Architectural Construction at Narciso Rodriguez, Diane von Furstenberg, and Calvin Klein.
Style tip? What do the Venice Bienniale and New York Fashion Week have in common? A focus on architecture. Fashion Week's silhouettes were decidedly architecturally inspired, with neat, precisely cut drapes and folds. We were especially taken with the organic shapes at Narciso Rodriguez and the careful origami-like precision at fellow minimalist Calvin Klein. But this architectural construction extends past the minimalists - even Diane von Furstenberg featured precisely draped knots on her exuberantly printed dresses. Let these architectural beauties stand alone as the focus of your outfit; our favorite way to wear them is to let them shine with shoes and accessories that focus the eye on the construction itself.
What do you think? How would you wear architectural construction? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Del Mar's 'Ship and Win' Program Succeeding
Del Mar Turf Club reported that its "Ship and Win" program – in which horsemen bringing runners from out-of-state are rewarded with bonus payments when those horses start during the current meet – is proving successful.
Robbins, who has headed Del Mar's racing office for the past 31 years -- 22 of them as racing secretary -- cited two additional residual advantages of the program.

Back-to-school shopping this year may not be the boon retailers are hoping to realize.
A consumer survey report-ed by the National Retail Federation found that total spending on back-to-school goods is expected to hit $26.5 billion, slightly less than consumers said they would spend last year. The average family with schoolchildren expects to spend $669 on school supplies and apparel. Total spending on electronics alone is expected to reach $8.4 billion.
Back-to-school spending predictions hit a historic high in 2012, when consumers said they'd spend a total of $30 billion. That was nearly 75 percent more than they were willing to spend in 2009, when the country was in the throes of a recession.
Back-to-school shopping, a major earnings period for retailers, may have dropped slightly in recent years, but Matthew Shay, federation CEO, said there's reason to be optimistic. "Slow improvements in the economy may have contributed to the growth in confidence among back-to-school shoppers, and while we are encouraged by the overall tone of the results and expect to see continued improvement in consumer spending through the year, we know Americans are still grappling with their purchase decisions every day," he said.
Garden Ridge, the home decor superstore in part of the former Sam's Club at 6185 Rivers Ave., has a new look.
The retail chain based in Texas said last month that it was rebranding its stores with the name At Home, which was recently installed on the North Charleston store's fa- cade and on its 71 other U.S. stores, including Greenville.
The rebranding efforts, which cost $20 million, according to the company, have also involved redesigning the stores to make them easier for customers to navigate. By year's end, the retailer plans to open 13 new At Home stores across the country.

Tell us how you really feel, Maxine…
Rep. Maxine Waters is quickly emerging as the Malcolm X to President Obama's MLK, when it comes to issues facing African-Americans. Sure, she and the other CBC members have been presiding over districts with high unemployment for some time, but it appears they've reached their breaking point, between the CBC's minimal influence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the tough recession, and especially, the tea party, who Rep. Waters said during the Atlanta CBC jobs town hall that black voters should emulate in terms of speaking up and demanding attention from Washington. But that doesn't mean she's a fan.
Here's what the representative had to say at an Inglewood town hall on Saturday, via TheGrio:
With California's jobless rate now 12 percent, the second-highest rate of unemployment in the nation after Nevada, talk about jobs, the economy and the partisan squabbling in Congress dominated the "Kitchen Table Summit."
"I'm not afraid of anybody," Waters told the crowd. "This is a tough game. You can't be intimidated. You can't be frightened. And as far as I'm concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell."
Well, I guess we now know how the lady feels.

Why I Don't Unfriend Tessie
By Elton Camp
Tessie will post a dozen times a day
Things foolish and ignorant they say
Her God, she asserts, is testing her
By the things that continually occur
No matter how bad things may seem,
"It's part of his plan," is her silly dream
Really, she brings woe upon herself,
But to that, she's both blind and deaf
People she loves, she does say,
But only if they're born in the USA
Of facts of history she has no clue
And current events does misconstrue
Invalid reasons she is always giving
As to why the world owes her a living
Her life is a living contradiction
Showing her ideas are only fiction
However, her rants I sort of like to see
Somebody who's worse off than me

Yes, more people ride light rail and take the subway these days
- (Photo: John Hendel)
Cars are so last century, right? The U.S. Public Interest Research Group and the Frontier Group have released a new report called "Transportation and the New Generation" that says basically that. One bit of good news, they say, is that people are riding the light rail and taking the subway more than ever — a trend bound to increase as more American cities invest in transit and create robust, reliable light rail and subway systems. Take heart, streetcar enthusiasts. See the graph below, with data from the Bureau of Transportation statistics, for proof of the trend.
"Between 2001 and 2009 the annual number of passenger miles per
capita traveled by 16 to 34-year-olds on public transit increased by 40%," the report says.
But equally fascinating is the way young drivers have stopped, apparently, caring about cars and the way they've begun driving less over the last decade. People take fewer trips and shorter trips than they did in the past. We may be able to attribute some of the recent trend, I'd strongly argue, to the recession. How easy is it for younger people to buy automobiles today? How do all these record-high gas prices influence drivers' decisions when they take to the road? Those are enormous factors, too.
- (Photo: PIRG)
Consider this snippet from the report about our change in driving habits:
Since the mid-2000s however, the number of miles driven in America—both total and per capita—has fallen. Since 2004, the average number of vehicle-miles driven per capita has decreased by 6 percent. (See Figure 1.) And since 2007, when Americans' total vehicle travel peaked, the total number of miles driven in America has fallen 2.3 percent. (See Figure 2.) Americans as a whole drove fewer miles in 2011 than they drove in 2004.4
Today's youth lead the decline in vehicle- miles traveled. While Generation X (age 35-49) and the Baby Boomers (age 50-65) have seen modest drops in the distance they travel in cars, Generation Y (age 16-34) is now driving significantly less than young generations have in prior decades. According to the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), between 2001 and 2009, the average number of vehicle-miles traveled by young people (16 to 34-year-olds) decreased from 10,300 miles to 7,900 miles per capita— a drop of 23 percent.

Don't spend all evening twiddling with weights and pendula. Your evening guests can be immediately entertained by the profusion of spiralia generated by the Harmonograph! Move the sliders to change the harmonograph output dynamically.
Interesting results can be obtained when just off a harmonic interval i.e. a 5th (F=3/2), unison (F=2/1) etc. Perhaps a visual representation of musical harmony...

Re: Dave Weckl
Man Dave Weckl expresses himself on the drums like no other. The only one even in contention is Vinnie Colaiuta. I can't believe people would say that Dave is predictable. The guy has such a grasp of his drumming vocabulary that he can say almost anything he wants. He has developed such an impeccable sense of dynamics that NO drummer i've heard can match. You wanna hear this guy swing. Also he has the decency to admit that he had to change his technical approach and contradict some of his earlier tutorials in DVDs etc. Not many people, nevermind drummers, would be man enough to do that.
I can't stress enough how musical Dave Weckl is. He Bridges the gap between Rock and Jazz for me. I mean if drummers actually listened to him they would hear how some things he plays have the force, conviction and OOOMPH! of anything from the rock idiom. And he does all this in the name of Jazz baby!
Dave, you're a legend. You speak to me and i hear everything you do man.

Hello and welcome one and all!
A special welcome to anyone who is reading this on the 'Our Bodies' app that we released last week – you'll be the first to be able to stream b-sides and remixes from the new single over the next few weeks. If you haven't got the app for your smartphone yet, then head on over to www.songpier.com/agenuinefreakshow to download it now… for free!
A huge thank you to everyone who came to see us at Reading, Leeds or Solfest last weekend. I can safely say it was the best time we've had as a band in a fair while. Packed crowds at both Reading and Leeds, 'Our Bodies' broadcast on BBC Three on Friday evening, our new song 'Claw and Grasp' on the red button, and all rounded off nicely at the picturesque Solfest in rural Cumbria – it was all fairly life-affirming.
This weekend we do it all again as we play at The Old Firestation in Bournemouth tonight (Friday) for Musicosity, the intriguingly named Doghouse Goes to Paris Gates on Saturday in Halifax before heading down to LodeStar in Cambridge for Sunday afternoon.
Next week head to the historic Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, to continue writing and working on the new songs from our sessions in Devon earlier this year. We'll be tweeting and posting pictures (and hopefully the odd video or two) of our progress, so watch out for those.
We'll then head out for a large handful of shows throughout September and October before our last show in 2011 at South Street Arts Centre in Reading on 11th November. Most shows are now listed on our website and the app, pretty much all of which you can buy tickets for directly from us for a tiny 40p charge and avoid the big booking fees other vendors will inevitably charge. If you have enjoyed us for the first time at a festival we'd love you to come and try one of our full-length live shows.
Finally, there are loads of different links all over the place to the Reading Festival TV coverage, but in case you've missed them, you can watch the last 3 songs from our set on YouTube, or get video and photos from the BBC Reading and Leeds website.
A big thank you to everyone for your support, especially over the last few weeks – we're really looking forward to seeing everyone again on tour!
With love,
Jack, John, Jon, Madge, Mel, Simon and Tim
