It looks like there has been a hurricane in your living room. Trains, cars and books cover the couch and the floor. The toy box in the corner has been tipped over, spilling toys all over the rug. Of course, you have friends coming over for dinner in an hour.
'Honey, our friends are coming over tonight', you say with frustration in your voice. 'Could you please put your toys away?'
Just when you think you'll have to clean this up yourself, you find your toddler right there next to you lending a hand. Just a few months ago, you'd feel lucky if he helped put one toy away before running off. Over the past few months, he has seemed more and more willing to do what you say without making a fuss.
So what's changed?
There is no magic moment when children become more likely to follow directions.
Not all of the time, of course. But as children grow, so does their ability to stop themselves from doing something they want to do (like writing on the walls) and perform tasks that they don't like (picking up their toys), even when parents or caregivers aren't around.
The name for this wonderful part of development is 'self-regulation'. It is one of the most important milestones of life. Without it, we would have a very hard time functioning, learning lessons in school, playing with friends, or getting along with people in general.
Even though just about every child develops some level of self-regulation, each person is different. Some kids will naturally develop this ability earlier than others. Just as some children show more shyness, some children show more 'effortful control' which is a personality trait that leads to self-regulation.
For children, there are two sides to self-regulation:
For a child, the 'dos' include doing things or finishing things she really doesn't want to do. 'Don'ts' include stopping herself from doing something she wants to do. As most parents and caregivers can attest, children deal with 'dos' and 'don'ts' in very different ways.
In a recent study, researchers watched as children from ages one to four were put into common 'do' and 'don't' situations. In one test, children were placed in a room and asked to put away toys scattered around a play area. In another, children were told not to touch a shelf full of interesting toys. In each situation, the adults would leave the room and the children were videotaped.
As you may have guessed, children were much better at following the 'don't' requests rather than the 'do' requests. Why that is remains unknown. But the researchers have a few theories.
Most kids hear 'don'ts' more often and at an earlier age than 'dos.' Words like 'Don't touch that hot stove!' come before 'Brush your teeth before bedtime'. Another reason might be that it takes more mental effort for children to force themselves to do something they'd rather not do than to stop doing something fun and exciting.
Most children get better at following parents' requests as they grow older, and there's usually a lot of improvement between ages 1-3:
Why aren't children better at self-regulation at earlier ages? Researchers still need to nail down the details, but effortful control and self-regulation appear to be related to several areas of brain development – especially those that are involved with attention and resolving conflict. Effortful control (the underlying personality trait) has also been linked to the development of empathy, guilt and a conscience, which tends to develop in a child's second year.
On days when your child just won't listen, keep in mind that self-regulation doesn't develop overnight. It's a skill that grows over time, especially during those crucial years before four. And it may be one of the most important developments in childhood. The ability to follow directions and behave is something we all need to learn in order to function in our families and cultures.

Cards Trounce Browns, 27 to 16
Busch Stadium, St. Louis.
Plain Dealer Reporter
ST. LOUIS - The decks are cleared for the meeting with the Dallas Cowboys for the National Football League's Eastern Conference title but not quite in the manner the Browns anticipated.
Blanton Collier's team fell before a hard-hitting, aroused flock of St. Louis Cardinals, 27-16, on a bright but extremely cold afternoon before 39,740 fans yesterday at Busch Stadium.
Thus the Century Division champions' winning streak which had reached eight games as they clinched the title last Sunday in Washington, was ended. It came to a halt at the hands of the same club that had inflected the last defeat on the Browns back in October.
Cleveland finished the regular season with a 10-4 mark while the Cards, second in the division, wound up 9-4-1. The difference was provided by a St. Louis tie with Pittsburgh.
The Browns, who used Bill Nelsen all the way and Leroy Kelly through much of the third quarter, seemed to escape without serious injury and that's a big bonus.
They didn't look sharp, however. The defense wasn't alert and the attack was spasmodic. It was in fact a typical Cleveland performance on national television.
THERE WAS MUCH speculation before the game concerning the team attitudes. As it turned out, the Cards' seemed to want the game more and the Browns undoubtedly had their minds on Dallas whether they wanted it that way or not.
As Capt. Larry Wilson of the Cards put it - "This was our last game. It's much nicer to finish on a winning note."
Wilson still has much respect for the Browns despite the two victories - "they'll provide a real challenge for Dallas," he declared. "And I feel that the Cowboys may very well have the best team in the National Football League."
Cleveland was never ahead in this windup after Bobby Conrad took a 28-yard pass from quarterback Jim Hart in the early minutes of the first quarter. The Cards moved 74 yards on eight plays after receiving to opening kickoff.
DON COCKROFT put the Browns on the board for the first time with a 50-yard field goal in that same period. It was the longest boot ever for the rookie who kicked others of 16 and 15 yards before the game was ended.
Lou Groza, now tutoring Cockroft, was over the 50-yard mark three times during his long career with the Browns.
Jim Bakken booted field goals of 33 and 37 yards for the winners who had a 13-6 halftime bulge.
Cleveland's lone touchdown was scored by Kelly, who wound up with 67 yards on 10 carries. He made most of that output on his 45-yards dash to paydirt early in the third quarter and it seemed that the Browns were on their way.
ST. LOUIS CAME right back to take the lead again, however, on a 20-yard pass from Hart to Conrad. The play that finally clinched matters, however, was 36-yard end-around run for a touchdown by Jackie Smith in the fourth period.
Kelly finished the season with the NFL rushing title and 1,239 yards, the best in his three year career as a regular.
The day's rushing leader, however, was Johnny Roland of the Cards with 69 yards.
Nelsen had one of his worst days with the Browns. He hit on only nine of 23 passes for 216 yards. There were no interceptions, however, and Bill was under pressure.
NELSON, WHOSE only other defeat as a Brown also came from the Cards, was thrown twice for losses of 27 yards. The passer was also forced to run with the football on two occasions.
Paul Warfield caught only three passes but they were for a total of 104 yards. That gives the fleet split end 50 catches for the season and 1,067 yards.
Ernie Green was in the game only briefly and Charlie Harraway did a good job in place of the co-captain at fullback. Charlie carried 11 times for 55 yards.
The Cards doubled up on Warfield much of the time but also kept Milt Morin in check. The tight end was held to one reception and that was good for only three yards. Conrad, who caught the two St. Louis touchdown passes, grabbed a total of four.
THE BIG RED'S Chuck Latourette, who has been making records with his kick returns, gained 154 yards on five kickoff runbacks. He also average 40 yards for his five punts as compared to the 23.4 punting average compiled by Cockroft and Gary Collins.
Collins got the taste of action as a flanker he wanted and should be ready for Dallas.
The defensive line was weakened by the absence of Jim Kanicki. The tackle had another flare-up of his back problem and spent the cold afternoon on the bench.
Following an exchange of punts, the Browns took over on their own 17 late in the third quarter. A screen pass to Harraway worked beautifully to get the Browns started, Charley had good running room and went out to his own 32. He made three more yards around the left end as the quarter ended.
Then, on the first play of the fourth period, Harraway sneaked into the clear to take a pass over the middle from Nelson. He broke loose and raced all the way to the St. Louis two-yard line before Lon Sanders finally ran him to the ground.
Morrison failed to gain at tackle, but the Browns seemed to have a touchdown when Harraway jogged around left end. That one was called back for illegal motion, however, and the Browns returned to the seven-yard line.
MORRISON FAILED to gain on a draw and a pass, intended for Morin, missed connections. Then Cockroft kicked his third field goal, one of 15 yards.
The Cards went 44 yards in two plays with just under seven minutes remaining in the game. Smith moved from right to left for 36 yards and the touchdown on the end-around play.
Bakken's extra point gave St. Louis a 27-16 bulge with 6:32 left.
THE CARDINALS moved to a touchdown from the opening kickoff which was returned by Chuck Latourette 21 yards to the St. Louis 26.
It required only eight plays to go the 72 yards with the big play before the touchdown a 25-yard pass from Hart to Smith. Conrad broke loose to take a pass from Hart to Smith.
Conrad broke loose to take a pass from Hart about the 15 yard line and go the last 28 yards for the touchdown.
The Browns came right back to get on the board. Carl Ward returned the kickoff 35 yards to the 36 with a nice dash down the sideline. Harraway, who started at fullback, gained four and Nelsen, forced to run, picked up nine yards before being brought to earth.
CLEVELAND pushed inside Big Red territory but was halted when a third down pass that Nelsen intended for Harraway fell incomplete, so Cockroft came in and kicked the longest field goal of his brief Cleveland career, one of 50 yards.
St. Louis began to move again early in the second quarter, but this time the Browns' defense stiffened. So Bakken kicked a 33-yard field goal to put the bulge back at seven points.
Cleveland found the right combination later in that second period when Warfield shook free to take a well-thrown pass by Nelsen. Paul squirmed and wiggled for about 15 yards after getting the ball to complete the 49-yard gain to the Cards' 33
With Harraway running well, the Browns ' rolled to a first down on the St. Louis four. There the attack bogged down. Morin missed a pass in the end zone and on third down Nelsen was thrown for a six-yard loss.
- How are the Browns doing?

Gear Question
I have EE width feet, size 10.5 ? how do...
I have EE width feet, size 10.5 how do these boots run in size and what size might fit me?
Mine are 10D; I have a broad instep and a narrow heel and sometimes need a "wide" except that for a lot of wide shoes my heel might slip. These fit just right for me. They fit a little tighter than a regular width 10 Timberland or a regular width 10 Sorel.
Most insulated boots walk pretty clunky. A big advantage I see with these Keens is that they're very walkable.

i have only seen my lawyer once. she sends me letters telling me what she needs and i take a package with all the documents that she requests to the lady at the front desk of her office. she never returns my calls. the last corresponence i recieved she said i should take the credit counciling course so she could file the petion. i am skepital should i be?
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney
Best answer
I see you live in Montgomery; I practice in the north end of Alabama, from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham to Anniston. You are right to be skeptical. A lawyer should meet with clients often and return their calls promptly. The greatest part of what lawyers do is answer questions. Because every person' s life is different, it takes time and attention to the details to get to know clients and provide for their unique legal needs; there are no short-cuts. Hire someone else.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney
Absolutely. It is quite rudimentary to any attorney / client relationship that you should have a chance to meet with discuss your case with your lawyer. I am not saying that all communications must be in person, however, at very least, your first one should be. I would ask to meet with the lawyer face to face, and reevaluate whether you are comfortable embarking on a very serious legal matter with that particular attorney.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
Suffice it to say that your attorney should be returning your calls. While it may be your attorney's practice to gather information and documentation from you and communicate with you primarily through the mail, you have a right to expect to be able to speak to your attorney by phone or in person. It may be time for you to pay an office visit and request to speak face to face with your attorney. This should have the effect of either putting your mind at ease or providing you the motivation to seek the advice and/or services of another attorney in your community.
Best of luck.
Foreclosure Attorney
The other answers nail the issue -- you should be able to meet with your lawyer. Sometimes as lawyers we may not make our clients come see us if they live far away or have medical or other issues that prevent them from coming to see us.
But as a general rule I want to meet my clients. I want to see them face to face.
My suggestion is write your lawyer -- explain your concerns -- and ask her to meet with you to solve the problem.
A good lawyer will do this and often times there is simply a misunderstanding that gets resolved easily. If it doesn't, then you need to decide if you want to move forward with your lawyer -- your advisor and counselor -- being someone you can't even meet with....
Best wishes

No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers. I am only licensed in Alabama and no information is intended to be legal advice. Instead, it is simply general education information to help encourage you to speak with a licensed lawyer in your state.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
I will handle a bankruptcy through the mail when my client is in prison or stationed overseas. This is an exception, and not a rule, because it can be difficult to verify someone's identity unless you meet them. This process is not how a professional relationship should be taking place barring exceptional circumstances. Hope this perspective helps!

Could switching to Geico really save you 15% or more on car insurance? Does Elmer Fudd have trouble with the letter R? Shh be very quiet, I'm hunting wabbits! Again, I love Elmer Fudd. GEICO is doing an amazing job with involving these popular cartoon characters in their commercials. The Elmer Fudd hunting bugs bunny cartoon
has so many variations and was one of the most popular episodes that I had watched growing up. Associating GEICO with these familiar lovable characters will definitely help them sell car insurance. This commercial builds on GEICO's theme. They start with their tagline of saving 15% or more on car insurance, then the question guy transitions the commercial to a funny or familiar skit that makes the tagline stick. Very well done, I wanted to watch this over and over.

Low Back Pain
Low back pain is an extremely common problem, as up to 85% of people experience some low back pain at some point in their lives. In fact, low back pain is second only to the common cold as a reason for medical office visits. Low back pain is also an expensive problem in today's society, as a study published in 1998 in the Annals of Internal Medicine revealed that the direct and indirect costs of low back pain are estimated at 60 billion annually in the United States. The cause of low back pain could be due to many different disorders including simple joint dysfunction, faulty movement patterns, or potentially more serious underlying problems. Regardless of the cause, studies suggest if back pain goes untreated the patient is more likely to experience the same pain within one year of its origin. In other words, despite popular belief, studies suggest that back pain typically does not "go away" on its own for good.
Occasionally, low back pain is accompanied by shooting pains that can go to any portion of the lower extremities, commonly referred to as "sciatica." Depending on the cause, these symptoms can typically be remedied through chiropractic management if the right approach is taken. Pain radiating into your lower extremities could potentially be caused or contributed to by an abnormality of the low back. The most common causes of low back pain are injures due to lifting improperly, previous trauma, muscle imbalances, referred pain, and poor posture. During your initial examination, our chiropractors will perform a series of neurological, orthopedic, and reflex testing to narrow the diagnosis to a specific location and cause. Current medical literature strongly supports the use of chiropractic therapies for the treatment of most causes of low back pain. Once the cause of dysfunction is determined your doctor will begin the appropriate treatment plan for your specific condition. Additionally, all treatment options will be discussed with you prior to beginning care.
At South Georgia Chiropractic, we establish a treatment plan that is personalized to each patient's condition and symptoms. We are committed to providing the highest quality non-invasive treatment for our patients regarding their care.

Specific Goals of This Course - Film 101: Introduction to Film and Media Studies
Film 101 is meant to be a broad introduction into the field of film and media studies. For this reason alone this course fulfills nearly every learning goal specific to the program listed above, although it is hardly as in-depth in specific areas compared to other courses (i.e. Film 250, 251 & 252 and all 300-level seminars). The only exception is #6, since there will be no actual production in this course as that requires a course on its own (Film 220). Film 101 certainly will help you achieve the long-term goals listed (#9-12), that you can take with you after you graduate. (This does apply to your actual every day life in the future.)
Film 101 is not a film and media appreciation course, even though I sincerely hope it deepens your appreciation for film, television and other media forms. Instead, the purpose of this course is to teach you how to critically analyze visual media.
- You'll be exposed to, and learn to distinguish, a wide variety of films, TV shows, and other visual media.
- You'll learn to isolate, describe and analyze the formal elements of film and television, video, etc. which include mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing, and sound.
- Additionally, you'll learn about some deeper issues in film studies, followed by an introduction to key issues in media and cultural studies.
I hope the course will intensify the passion and interest you already have by teaching you to watch visual media with a new level of attention and expertise. But I hope that this will help you even if you never take another film or media class in your life. How so?
- By developing your awareness of visual media – how and why they are actually constructed and as opposed to how they seem to the average consumer.
- By sharpening both your visual memory and your visual skills, something you will need in almost every walk of life, especially in this media-saturated era.
- By improving on your writing skills, which will be of the utmost important in your future no matter what you do.
- By improving your critical thinking skills, not only in how to detect deeper patterns that usually go unnoticed, but also how to formulate arguments around which you can organize your writing.
- By improving your time management skills. Your future success may depend on mastering this skill.
In short, this course is relevant even to those of you who will only have a casual interest in films, televisions and other visual media per se.

We salvaged four hardboard plates covered with a white finish from an old closet.
Then we got cover-foil to protect books for a total of € 10,-
We had enough screws lying around so those where free also.
In total we used 21 screws and one washer
The tools we used where a measuring tape, a knife, a wooden spatula and a drill with screwbit.
Step 1: Basics
Be sure to clean the surface you use for the plastic, because every hair shows up on the finished board.
Step 2: Align plastic
Start at the bottom so every layer above the bottom one overlaps the previous.
Tape the foil with the paper side down using the grid on the backside to the desired amount of overlap. After taping it down make sure the vertical lines are in line with the side of the edge of the surface and tape down the top half.
Step 3: Apply foil
Use a wooden spoon or another non-sharp surface to push out the air beneath the foil.
Start at the inside and work your way up and out. Like so:

Making the Grade no Easy Task
Perry Zirkel, professor of education and law at Lehigh, was quoted in an article about No Child Left Behind. States have found numerous ways to skirt the problem of poor-performing subgroups such as special education. Some, such as Texas, have increased the number of students required to track a subgroup, said Zirkel. In the highly pressurized environment of No Child Left Behind, some educators say that meeting the law's requirements is impossible and their states have sought loopholes in the legislation to avoid punitive actions. Others are trying to comply, but worry that they can't. They say that students in special education are in those classes because they can't perform at grade level and that the law contradicts the point of special education.

Infinera Ready to Sell to a Reviving Fiber-Optic Market
The Center for Optical Technologies at Lehigh University was mentioned in an article about Infinera Corp., an operation in Upper Macungie Township that is in the process of transforming itself from a research lab into a full fledged production line. The company has raised more than $150 million in venture capital since its founding in 2001. It has received $300,000 from Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania, which was an early supporter of the company. It has also worked extensively with the Center for Optical Technologies at Lehigh University. The center is working with Infinera on the development of its next generation of products. ''They have indeed done a stellar job of increasing the functionality that goes into this system,'' said Kim Trapp, industrial liaison officer for the Center for Optical Technologies. In May, Infinera came out of hibernation and has since sought notice for the photonic chips and digital optical networking module it makes for fiber-optic networks.

Route 22: Fifty Years, One Billion Cars
Stephen F. Thode, director of the Murray H. Goodman Center for Real Estate Studies at Lehigh University and associate professor of finance and law, was quoted in an article about Route 22, which was built to reduce congestion and has nearly reached its capacity. Steve Schmitt, director of the Coalition for Appropriate Transportation wants an innovative pricing plan that would charge a toll to motorists, particularly during weekday rush hours. The cost would push some motorists to seek alternatives such as driving less and using mass transit. He argues that it would not only create a cleaner environment, but also help avoid expensive upgrades to Route 22. Thode is seeking a more drastic fix. Unlike Schmitt, Thode does not think alternative transportation and mass transit are the answer, but he does think Route 22 is part of the problem. Thode, whose class has made a pet project of studying the highway, believes that turning Route 22 into an easy-access expressway, without upgrading feeder roads such as Routes 191, 248, 412 and 145, only served to choke off development in the Valley cities of Easton, Bethlehem and Allentown. ''They will never get enough money from PennDOT to properly upgrade Route 22 and all of the roads that run into it,'' Thode said. ''They need to be willing to look outside the box. Tolls are the best solution.''

Women, would you mind if you saw a man with an erection on a nude beach?
women, would you mind if you saw a guy with an erection on a nude beach. Is it bad for you to see one or is it no big deal as long as the guy isn't... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I went to a nude beach with a male friend of mine. I was surprised how fast we both stripped down. It was actually a turn on to be completely nude in front of so many men. Anyway, I really enjoyed checking out all the men. I asked john if he wanted to go for a walk along the water, so we did. As we were walking I told him I thought it was cute to watch his penis swing back and forth as he walked. It must have turned him on that I was checking him out because he started to grow. He started to get embarrassed, but I told him It didn't bother me. As we kept walking he continued to get a full erection. I was a little surprised how much he grew. It was about 7 inches and stood straight out from his body. As he walked you could tell it wanted to bounce around, but was too hard. As we walked past other women they would just smile. When we got back to our blanket he had to lay on his back with his penis still at full mast. The two girls laying next to us were also enjoying the show. Since their was nobody else around us except the two girls, I told him If he had to take care of himself it was fine. He looked a little surprised at first, but when he thought I had closed my eyes he started to stroke himself.
It is interesting that if there is a woman with the guy, the women seem less threatened by an erection and that younger women are more understanding than an older woman!
He jerked off on the beach ?
I've seen guys jerking off on nude beaches several times; one time I was walking a path behind two guys sitting on a towel next to each other one of them was jerking off the other. They must have heard me walk by because they stopped. I didn't care just kept walking. If guys want to jerk off on a nude beach I just don't look (as long as they're being relatively discreet). What do you expect on a nude beach; nudity is usually sexual when there are d***s and t*ts and pussies visible.
What Girls Said 8
I have been on nude beaches in Florida, Boniare, St Martian, Antigula and have never seen anyone give it a second thought. It's natural, it happens, that is why we are here in the first place.
I was walking nude down and three women in bathing suits were watching me and laughing aomong themselves. I think it was because I was totally shrivelled and they noticed how small it is
It's a nude beach...I don't expect a man surrounded by naked women not to get one...it's completely understandable to me
I don't go to nude beaches and I am just asking what you women thought about it. To me it is not fair if the woman gets excited and the man can't. I am not saying it is appropiate one way or the other, just saying there is a double standard here. Who made the law, men or women? Why is it bad if I guy has one as long as he isn't masturbating or flaunting it? Thanks for your comment!

You have that right! lol
Well that and the y chromosome poisoning... it all evens out thankfully
I think it is guys that think erections are bad. When I went or the first time I was a little disappointed that most men did not have erections. I think it is amazing when you see a guy just walking along the beach with his penis standing at full attention. Its both sexy and confident. What else I find interesting is the many different sizes and shapes of men penis' when they are hard.
I agree with you. I think mostly, it is guys you oppose it. Of course, providing the guy isn't masturbating or harrassing women with it! I also find it hard to beleive that if a guy sees an atractive woman, he isn't going to get an erection! I think he is not getting one, because he knows it is a no no or not really looking at her! To tell me they do not look at women sexually or sexual way is BS to me!
I don't know, I once got a full erection while walking down a nude beach and some woman shouted out "hey that guy's got a hard on"
I think the whole concept of a nude beach equals the possibility of erections. The kind of women who feel comfortable at those places or even search out those places should know that seeing erections may be a possibility. I myself would feel uncomfortable about the whole everyone is nude thing...but the erection thing is a result of the environment and is totally understandable.
What Guys Said 4
If you get an erection on a nude beach, it is proper etiquette to cover it up until it goes away. I obviously can't speak on behalf of girls but I can tell that it is pretty well known internationally that erections on nude beaches are not appropriate.
The guys that have the erections on the nude beaches are the creepy weird ones that are at the beach for the wrong, wrong reasons.
True, but I have never been on a nude beach before and would not say I were to get one. Just asking them if what they think about it. I mean who is actually made the rule? Men or women? Is it because Men don't want to see it or women are bothered by it?
Erections usually come because of something sexual.
Nude beaches are not sexual.
I've been going to nude beaches since I was 20 and there are very creepy guys who the police watch that sometimes get erections. If you get one, just sit down and wait for it to go away. Walking around with an erection on a nude beach will get you in trouble and is not good.
People who worry about erections on nude beaches have probably never been on one. I've been going to nude beaches ffor years and I have never, ever, seen one. That's not to say that they never happen, but the idea that there are even one or two guys wandering around like that is misguided.
Ever since my first experience on a nude beach having that first woman pass by and smile my way, I was hooked. Having been to a few beaches, I recall several erections, but they were all while being in the water since I did not want the embarrassment of offending woman or making them feel threatened. It's nice to read that most woman enjoy looking at an erect penis (and probably why a lot of full bikini-clad woman go there when there is ample non-nude beaches around). So the next time I feel a little rush when I see a woman standing with her legs apart while leaning back squeezing the water from her hair, I'll be sure to let nature take its course and let her know how much I appreciate what she is doing, and maybe the smile on her face will make her enjoy the nude beach experience as mush as I do.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Streptomycin is indicated for the treatment of individuals with moderate to severe infections caused by susceptible strains of microorganisms in the specific conditions listed below:
1. Mycobacterium tuberculosis: The Advisory Council for the Elimination of Tuberculosis, the American Thoracic Society, and the Center for Disease Control recommend that either streptomycin or ethambutol be added as a fourth drug in a regimen containing isoniazid (INH), rifampin and pyrazinamide for initial treatment of tuberculosis unless the likelihood of INH or rifampin resistance is very low. The need for a fourth drug should be reassessed when the results of susceptibility testing are known. In the past when the national rate of primary drug resistance to isoniazid was known to be less than 4% and was either stable or declining, therapy with two and three drug regimens was considered adequate. If community rates of INH resistance are currently less than 4%, an initial treatment regimen with less than four drugs may be considered.
Streptomycin is also indicated for therapy of tuberculosis when one or more of the above drugs is contraindicated because of toxicity or intolerance. The management of tuberculosis has become more complex as a consequence of increasing rates of drug resistance and concomitant HIV infection. Additional consultation from experts in the treatment of tuberculosis may be desirable in those settings.
2. Non-tuberculosis infections: The use of streptomycin should be limited to the treatment of infections caused by bacteria which have been shown to be susceptible to the antibacterial effects of streptomycin and which are not amenable to therapy with less potentially toxic agents.
Intramuscular Route Only
Adults: The preferred site is the upper outer quadrant of the buttock, (i.e., gluteus maximus), or the mid-lateral thigh.
Children: It is recommended that intramuscular injections be given preferably in the mid-lateral muscles of the thigh. In infants and small children the periphery of the upper outer quadrant of the gluteal region should be used only when necessary, such as in burn patients, in order to minimize the possibility of damage to the sciatic nerve.
The deltoid area should be used only if well developed such as in certain adults and older children, and then only with caution to avoid radial nerve injury. Intramuscular injections should not be made into the lower and mid-third of the upper arm. As with all intramuscular injections, aspiration is necessary to help avoid inadvertent injection into a blood vessel.
Injection sites should be alternated. As higher doses or more prolonged therapy with streptomycin may be indicated for more severe or fulminating infections (endocarditis, meningitis, etc.), the physician should always take adequate measures to be immediately aware of any toxic signs or symptoms occurring in the patient as a result of streptomycin therapy.
1. TUBERCULOSIS: The standard regimen for the treatment of drug susceptible tuberculosis has been two months of INH, rifampin and pyrazinamide followed by four months of INH and rifampin (patients with concomitant infection with tuberculosis and HIV may require treatment for a longer period). When streptomycin is added to this regimen because of suspected or proven drug resistance (see INDICATIONS AND USAGE section), the recommended dosing for streptomycin is as follows:
Streptomycin is usually administered daily as a single intramuscular injection. A total dose of not more than 120 g over the course of therapy should be given unless there are no other therapeutic options. In patients older than 60 years of age the drug should be used at a reduced dosage due to the risk of increased toxicity. (See BOXED WARNING.)
Therapy with streptomycin may be terminated when toxic symptoms have appeared, when impending toxicity is feared, when organisms become resistant, or when full treatment effect has been obtained. The total period of drug treatment of tuberculosis is a minimum of 1 year; however, indications for terminating therapy with streptomycin may occur at any time as noted above.
2. TULAREMIA: One to 2 g daily in divided doses for 7 to 14 days until the patient is afebrile for 5 to 7 days.
3. PLAGUE: Two grams of streptomycin daily in two divided doses should be administered intramuscularly. A minimum of 10 days of therapy is recommended.
5. CONCOMITANT USE WITH OTHER AGENTS: For concomitant use with other agents to which the infecting organism is also sensitive: Streptomycin is considered a second-line agent for the treatment of gram-negative bacillary bacteremia, meningitis, and pneumonia; brucellosis; granuloma inguinale; chancroid, and urinary tract infection.
For adults: 1 to 2 grams in divided doses every six to twelve hours for moderate to severe infections. Doses should generally not exceed 2 grams per day.
For children: 20 to 40 mg/kg/day (8 to 20 mg/lb/day) in divided doses every 6 to 12 hours. (Particular care should be taken to avoid excessive dosage in children.)
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
Streptomycin Sulfate Injection, USP is supplied in packages of 10 ampules (NDC 0049-0620-33). Each ampule contains streptomycin sulfate equivalent to 1 g of streptomycin in 2.5 mL.
Store under refrigeration at 36° to 46°F (2° to 8°C).

By Staff Sgt. Ward T. Gros, USASpecial to American Forces Press Service
PORT OF SHUAIBA, Kuwait, July 24, 2003 Soldiers in Kuwait have started studying Arabic twice a week thanks to a fellow American soldier who grew up speaking Arabic in Alexandria, Egypt.
Spc. Suzan Oliver spends Tuesday and Thursday afternoons teaching Arabic to soldiers assigned to the Port of Shuaiba.
"They seem very interested," Oliver said of her students. "The whole class is pretty responsive."
The specialist, who speaks seven different Arabic dialects, deployed to Kuwait as a crane operator with the 11th Transportation Battalion from Fort Story, Va. She extended her deployment to work as a member of the 143rd Transportation Command's civil affairs/G-5 office.
She said she wanted to be a linguist when she joined the Army, but that required a security clearance that she couldn't get at the time because she was not an American citizen. She took the Defense Language Proficiency Test as soon as she could and received the skill identifier for Arabic linguist, for which she receives extra pay.
Her father had a distinguished career working with the United Nations; some of her brothers and sisters work for humanitarian relief agencies in Africa; and now she finds herself working in a similar field.
Born in Khartoum, Sudan, Oliver has since applied for American citizenship and has her naturalization papers waiting at Norfolk, Va. She took her citizenship oath while home on leave in March. "I'm an American now," she said. "It's not easy to get citizenship, between what you have to study, what you have to know and the events since Sept. 11th. I consider myself lucky."
Oliver joined the Army after living with one of her sisters in Virginia. The ninth of 12 siblings, she is the only one to enlist in the Army. "My family says I'm the crazy one," she said.
Oliver says her friends from 11th Trans. said she was crazy for extending her tour in Kuwait, but she finds the experience she is gaining as a linguist dealing with Kuwait officials worth it.
"I spend most of my time with port passes, verifying nationalities, and filling out forms in Arabic," Oliver said. Her other duties with civil affairs range from answering the phone in Arabic to translating for generals and sheiks, such as Sheik Dr. Subah Al-Jaber Al-Subah.
"Meeting the Sheik of Sabah is definitely the highlight of my being here," she said. Second to that would be translating for Brig. Gen. Jack C. Stultz, deputy commander of the 377th Theater Support Command and commander of the 143rd TRANSCOM (Forward).
"She has been a great asset to this office," said Sgt. 1st Class George McGill, noncommissioned officer in charge of G-5. "She has helped out with identifying nationalities for passports and has helped screen applicants. After we review them, we pass them on to Kuwaiti officials. She's very accurate."
McGill also said that Oliver assists when Kuwaiti and other local officials visit. Official visitors often start speaking English but turn to Arabic when discussions become more complicated. "When she's here, there's no misunderstanding," McGill said.
Oliver takes cultural differences into account when translating. She particularly looks out for proper word choice and the American need for being direct. "Some words don't transfer the same from English to Arabic," she said.
"To translate something from English might sound like a direct order, which might offend the Kuwaitis," she explained. "Arabic culture is very indirect as far as conversation or requests. It is not as straightforward as saying 'This is what I want.' When you do that it's very offensive. It takes 15 to 20 minutes of greetings and side talk before you get to the main conversation."
Although Oliver speaks seven different dialects of Arabic, "my Egyptian dialect always overtakes the dialect I'm speaking," she said. In addition to the slight differences in dialect and word choice, there is a greater difference between Egyptian and Kuwaiti culture.
"While growing up in Egypt, I learned about the different Arabic cultures," Oliver said. "The Kuwaitis treat women differently. In Egypt women work in different career fields, while in Kuwait they are subordinate to the men. When speaking with them, I make an effort to get my point across without them looking at me as a woman."
When Kuwaitis and others meet her for the first time, the 24-year-old Oliver said, "it's a shock for them at first, because they see me as an American, which I am. After they ask all their questions and find out I'm from Egypt, some of them say it's too much freedom for a girl to be in the Army out in a different country on her own."
"My dad always encouraged me to do what is best," said Oliver, who spent her school years at boarding schools in Egypt and her summers around the world with her father. While at boarding school she said she had to make her own decisions, joining the Army, extending here, all of it might just be part of that, she said.
Editor's note: Gros is with the 143rd Transportation Command in Kuwait.

Sandast Leather Goodsby: David Vo
Six years in the making, the luxury leather goods brand by influential designer Milan Franeta is soon launching their flagship store in the heart of Los Angeles. Starting out with a designer denim, he's held the title of Creative Director at some powerhouse brands, including Gilded Age. In 2006, as a personal hobby, he turned his focus to fine leather goods, challenging himself to apply the same attention to detail that he had for denim.
Sandast was the result. The brand, named after his three children, produces each handcrafted belts and bags. The initial launch is comprised of two dueling personas – American Rugged and Italian Vintage. American Rugged is comprised of classic pieces that invoke a sense of history; something that is meant to be handed down generations. Meanwhile, Italian Vintage clearly is inspired by Franeta's European upbringing. The bags are a little bit more chic and would feel right at home on the streets of Milan (no surprise there). The items are produced in America and Italy, respectively.
A limited portion of the catalog is available for purchase in the online shop but for a better look, check out their store on Hill Street, in Los Angeles.

Calypso Casesby: Josh Spear
I've been heavily testing (read: beating up) a new Calypso Case for more than a month and it's easy to say simply put, I'm impressed.
Based in Ljubljana, Slovenia the founders are hand making iPhone 4 cases which are simply perfect in fit, function and design. They're made of conite, titanium, leather and specially designed microfabrics.
In their own words: Why should a phone case interfere with your style? Carefully selected curves. Suitable dimensions. Not too heavy. Not too light. Sleek and nice. Shiny, but not too overly so. Glossy, but just the right way.
I agree. If you're iPhone case shopping, give these a look.
Quackie Kids Storageby: Josh Spear
Fun kids storage unit named Quackie by E-Glue, a design studio for kids in France.
SIHH 2012: IWC Top Gun Launchby: Josh Spear
I had a great time at SIHH with my friends from IWC yesterday. Totally loving the new Pilots Watches.
If I had to pick a favorite– it would be the Ceramic Big Pilot's Watch with Perpetual Calendar shown above. Stunning in person, I promise.
Big Pilot in Ceramic and Titanium. A nice twist on the classic model.
Big Pilot Worldtimer, I should probably have one of these.
And of course, the new Miramar. I've seen a few different strap combinations and I'm partial to the brown leather, but the green canvas is still really solid.
P.S. The booth was incredible. Full flight simulator, aircraft carrier details down to the screws. Check out the behind the scenes footage of the making here.
Hamburger Wrapping Paperby: Josh Spear
Gift Couture will offer high-quality wrapping paper sets that feature original photography and design. Their main goal is to produce unique papers that coordinate together into conceptualized themes and sets.
This is exemplified in the Cheeseburger set that they chose to use as this initial project. This includes 5 different wrapping paper designs; a bun, hamburger, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes, all of the components of a Cheeseburger!
I do prefer wrapping with newspaper or something recycled, but this is fun. It's on Kickstarter right now. $584 of the $7900 goal.

/ Description
A producer is usually any dairy farmer who sells milk to a pool handler. Producers must produce milk in compliance with Grade A inspection requirements, and their milk must be either received at a pool plant or diverted to a nonpool plant for the account of a pool handler. Producer-handlers are not producers.
A handler is a person--an individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other business unit, that is subject to the provisions of an order. A handler can be an operator of a plant that is approved by a duly constituted regulatory agency for the handling of Grade A milk. A handler also can be a milk distributor or a broker. A cooperative association that does not operate a plant can be a handler.
Pool Handler.
A pool handler is a handler that is subject in full to the provisions of the order. A pool handler can be an operator of a plant that meets the minimum performance standards included in each order, a pool plant. Such plants include distributing plants, plants primarily engaged in processing packaged fluid milk products, and supply plants, plants primarily engaged in producing manufactured dairy products. A cooperative association that does not operate a plant can be a pool handler. A milk distributor or broker cannot be a pool handler.
Receipts of Milk.
FMO statistics include volumes of milk received by handlers regulated under each of the Federal orders. Receipts of milk principally come from producers. The volume of milk that is reported as received by handlers from producers includes all such milk regardless of where it may be sold. Milk identified as that received from producers for a given market may come directly from nearby producers or from producers associated with a supply plant which, although located several hundred miles from the marketing area, is pooled on the market. Producer milk also may include milk that is diverted by a pool plant operator to another pool plant or to a nonpool plant.

One of the ironies of the present crisis in Egypt is that it is exposing once again the ridiculousness of one of the nasty slurs flung against neocons by the likes of John Mearsheimer and Steven Walt who accuse them of being — what else? — agents of Israel, Likud, the International Zionist Conspiracy, or whatever. To hear these realpolitikers tell it, when neocons advocate liberal reform in the Middle East, they are secretly doing the bidding of their Zionist puppet-masters to the detriment of American interests (as understood, of course, by the same folks who thought that Mubarak was a rock of stability — and before him, the Shah of Iran). In reality, most Israelis fall firmly in the realpolitik camp and, were it not for their knee-jerk Israel-bashing, would agree with Mearsheimer/Walt about how to define American interests in the Middle East. (Natan Sharansky, a prominent advocate of Arab democratization, is one of the few exceptions, but he is seen as very much an outlier.)
Consider this Reuters dispatch headlined "Israel Shocked by Obama's 'Betrayal' of Mubarak." It quotes some truly hysterical comments from Israeli commentators bemoaning the apparent end of the Mubarak regime. A sample:
One comment by Aviad Pohoryles in the daily Maariv was entitled "A Bullet in the Back from Uncle Sam." It accused Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of pursuing a naive, smug, and insular diplomacy heedless of the risks.
Who is advising them, he asked, "to fuel the mob raging in the streets of Egypt and to demand the head of the person who five minutes ago was the bold ally of the president … an almost lone voice of sanity in a Middle East?"
"The politically correct diplomacy of American presidents throughout the generations … is painfully naive."
This is the authentic voice of the Israeli public facing the loss of "their" man in Cairo. Like many Western realpolitikers, most Israelis I have spoken with assume that Arabs are incapable of practicing democracy and that any attempt to tinker with the stable if oppressive status quo in surrounding states will lead only to the creation of more anti-Israeli regimes. I have heard Israeli officials defend keeping in power the Assad regime in Syria, which is still technically at war with Israel. Needless to say, Israelis are even more devoted to Mubarak and the Hashemites in Jordan, who have actually made peace with them.
Their outlook is understandable, but, I believe, short-sighted. As I argue in the Wall Street Journal today, Mubarak may have been friendly with Israeli and American leaders, but he also turned a blind eye to the vile anti-Semitic and anti-Western propaganda spread by his state media, schools, and mosques. This, along with the stagnation of his sclerotic regime, has made Egypt a prime breeding ground for Islamist extremism.
The U.S. and Israel have bought ourselves some help from Mubarak over the past 30 years but at a high price. It was always obvious that the bargain couldn't last forever, because Mubarak was intensely unpopular and would fall sooner or later. Some of us were arguing for years that the U.S. had to do more to pressure Mubarak to reform, even to hold hostage his American aid package (see, for instance, this 2006 op-ed I wrote). Our concerns were dismissed by the realpolitikers, in both the U.S. and Israel, who said it was no business of ours to meddle in Egyptian politics. Now events are spinning out of control and we can do little to affect the outcome.
If there is one lesson that should be drawn from this crisis it is that we can't back an unpopular and illegitimate status quo indefinitely. Now is the time to push for real reform in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and other allied states — not to mention in hostile states such as Syria and Iran. But I bet Israel will prefer to cling to its realpolitik policies.

I just finished this project, and am gonna have these buddies with me at CZF this weekend!
It's an audio cassette/zine bundle: I asked friends to tell me stories, and I asked if I could record them telling them. What resulted is 13 true-life stories told by 13 different people, all compiled onto a tape for you to listen to.
The accompanying zine includes 120mm portraits of all the storytellers (taken on the day of the story's recording), and information on them to follow along with as you listen.
There are stories about ballet teachers, jail time, rabies shots, bad parenting, paranormal experiences, tour escapades, dance contests, and more.
Storytellers are: Samantha Cohen, Jared Larson, Michelle Ravit, Sarah Ayton, Alan Resnick, Dee Addario, April Rose, Dylan Taylor, Matt Ross, Simon Thrasher, Kate Larson, Jordaan Mason, and Dustin Lamberta.
I think it's a really great collection! It's sort of like an audio book: perfect for car rides, a day inside, a stroll with your walk(wo)man, etc.
Each tape is hand-stamped with gold ink, and runs 98 minutes long, in a numbered edition of 50.
Tape duplication by SUPERCRUSH tapes.

Things I liked:Lightweight and easy to carry into the field.
Things I would have changed:Stock bolts should be tighter from factory.
What others should know:Shot great ... then the stock bolts got loose .. I tightened the bolts and it shots great again until the stock bolts got loose again. Finally, I used locktite (a threat locker) and it shot great for a while, but became very hold sensitive. This gun can stack pellets on top of each other at 10 yards, but it is a challenge to hold it perfectly to achieve those results. Well worth the money.
Things I liked:Shoots well and is easy to handle. Doesn't seem to be that hold sensitive.
Things I would have changed:Only small thing is open sight could be just a little nicer. The do work well and are easy to adjust.
What others should know:I was able to get dime size groups soon after I added a 3x9x40 ao scope. Mine did well with Stoeger x-field , "same as H&N field target trophy" I have been told. Stoeger x-match were also good and Crosman premier hollow points. Great deal for $79.99 doorbuster deal. Accurate out to 35yd easy.

The White House is required to release a report this week detailing how the sequestration cuts to defense actually will be executed. The outline — which will help shape 2013 budget and employment decisions for the Pentagon and defense industry — was initially supposed to be released today, according to multiple reports and the Bipartisan Policy Center. Of course, that would almost certainly have conflicted with Obama's attempts to play up his national security record at the convention — so it's no surprise it's nowhere to be found on the OMB website this afternoon.
"On and off the Hill, many suspect the Obama Administration will quietly drop the sequestration transparency report on Friday in close-of-business 'data dump' with little fanfare, perhaps sending the report only to House and Senate leadership," said Robert Zarate, policy director at the Foreign Policy Initiative. "But once the report gets to the Hill, you can expect lawmakers on both sides of the sequestration debate to start aggressively posturing and messaging."
According to House Speaker John Boehner's office, the absolute deadline for the report is tomorrow, but there's a chance Obama may delay it further.
"Tomorrow (September 7) is the deadline, which has us wondering…will President Obama comply with the Sequestration Transparency Act he signed into law?" asked Don Seymour, digital communications director for Boehner, in an email blast. "The administration has repeatedly ignored requests from Congress for 'sequester' information, even as top officials admit the defense cuts the White House demanded – in an effort to ensure the president wouldn't face another debt limit vote before the election – would jeopardize our national security."
Meanwhile, DoD Buzz reports that the administration could actually end up dragging its feet for a couple of weeks:
The White House Office of Management and Budget is scheduled to release a detailed report specifying how sequestration cuts will affect the Pentagon after President Obama ordered the report in August. Capitol Hill sources expect to see the report in the next couple weeks.
Although Kendall tried to simplify the complexity of the cuts with simple arithmetic, the defense industry is eager to see what the OMB report will contain. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has told Congress the military has done minimal planning because of the simplicity of the across the board cut.
The impact of the cuts should be clearer once the report comes out, assuming the Office of Management and Budget provides sufficient detail. President Obama may not want this to drop the week of his convention, but the targeted industries and the general public deserve to see the specifics by the required deadline.

Syria Peace Talks End In Apparent Failure
By editor
Originally published on Fri February 14, 2014 2:22 pm
The peace talks in Switzerland aren't changing much on the ground in Syria. Government troops and warplanes continue to batter a rebel-held town near the border with Lebanon, and an effort to evacuate trapped civilians from the besieged city of Homs has been halted.
NPR's Deborah Amos joins Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson to discuss the talks.
"It was a bust in Geneva," she says. "It's really hard to see how these talks go anywhere, and if anybody had a better idea, I think that they would cancel them."

Corker Mini Tool
Issue : Jun 2012
Editorial Review
For those motivated to pedal as much by the prospect of a postride beverage with friends as the need to exercise, Axiom's Corker DLX mini toolis the perfect accessory. The elegantly crafted rosewood-stained body has every tool you need: seven hex wrenches, a Torx wrench, flat and Phillips-head screwdrivers, and a chain breaker. All of the tools are made of brass-plated, chrome vanadium steel. However, my favorite tools are the corkscrew tucked neatly behind the 8mm hex, and the two bottle openers carved into the sides of the tool's body. The Corker is a wee-bit hefty at 180 grams. But that extra weight is well worth the quiet confidence you'll have when it's time to pop the top or pull the cork on your favorite postride libation.—David L'Heureux

******** reason to not exercise. Of course it's ******* hard. Especially when you've been a lazy fat **** and turned yourself into a landwhale over the course of your life. Exercising is like paying off past debt, yea it sucks at first but when you realize how much fat and debt you've removed over time it's pretty ******* rewarding and eventually you'll be a glorious master fit human with no debt to pay off. Put some challenge in your life, take on tasks that are difficult, don't go through life avoiding a possibly rewarding thing because it isn't easy.
TLDR: Exercise is hard but worth it.

pumping weight is easy, almost everyone can do it and build 15kg of lean muscle mass in 1 1/2 years if done right. And it is not rocket-sciense either. Doing workouts in the gym for 2 hours a day is fun and good but it's not so dramatic hard as almost everyone makes it look. And I'm not talking about the extreme cases where someone is working out 6 hours each day, damaging his joints and always goes above 200 heartbeats/minute on each exercise. After years of exercising it will become harder to not exercise. It's not suffering, it's fun and people should be happy that they can do it with a healthy body and enough free time and food!
