Well, Dave "hea" checkin in from the "Greamps" in "Austrahhhlia," I've been in 'dowhnn unda" since this past Wednesday, August 10th, which would have been a Tuesday in the United States! The climbing is absolutely mind blowing, and the rock is potentially my favorite stone I have ever seen! A strange combination of South Africa (even though I have never been) and Fontainebleau. The stone is highly featured and splashed with magnificent colors, yet has an array of textures unlike any I have encountered on Earth. Granted, I haven't been that many places on our grand planet, but this location might be the most exciting and exotic area I have ever traveled too.
Australia - David Graham
There are thousands of critters: poisonous-merciless snakes, freak deadly spiders, laughing green and purple birds, funny little parrots things, big and small kangaroos who can jump koala bears that sound like oil derricks, and and all kinds of amazing new bugs I don't know the names of. The accent is awesome, and the people have been extra friendly for some reason.
I am here traveling with Ian Dory, Jes D'Emilio, and Nalle Hukkataival, and soon enough Kieth Ladzinski and his assistant Elly will be going the crew. At the beginning of September Nathan Bancroft will join up and we will start shooting for the new film we are making at the Island. We are planning on climbing mostly in the Grampains, on the boulders, and on the ropes, between all the amazing sandstone feature found here in the state of Victoria.
We arrived in Melbourne, a very swank little ocean side city, which is particularly characterized by thousands of restaurants, and well dressed locals. Despite the long haul flight, which was suprisingly agreeably, and the bizarre jet leg, we were all incredibly syked to be on a new continent, and bound for new climbing destination. With spirits extra high, we managed to get our rental van, a pimp ass Hyundai Imax, which seats around eight humans, got a hotel room, had some dinner, and slept till check out the next day. Once unleashed upon the open roads, I managed to not kill the equipe and drive t us up to the base of Mount Zero, in the Grampians National Park. We stumbled upon a charming little vacation getaway with 7 log cabins, and were somehow lucky enough to find affordable and cozy accommodations from square one.
Thus marks the point where I realized this was the least epic, most tranquil trip I had ever taken!
Relieved everything worked pout better then any of us could have ever imagined, we slept off "the fatigue" and woke up bright and early, super jazzed up to see the Hollow Mountain Cave, and lay our eyes upon the mystical Tapian Wall, for the first time. After hiking through the sandy tracks amidst Eucalyptus and other trees and plants I can't name yet, we stood in front of the giant roof we had flown across the world to see. It was spectacular. We had studied the incredibly helpful and well composed guidebook our friend Chris Webb Parson wrote with his pal Dave, and knew mostly where to go and what to do, and immediately began to check out all 100 handholds of the Wheel of Life, an amazing endurance test piece first climbed by Dai Koyamado.
Personally, I couldn't handle the situation. The rock was too good, I had never seen such features in my life, and the quality of the sandstone superseded anything i had ever seen before. For a brief moment, I had a feeling of terror, wondering why on earth I had never been here before, why I had been unaware of this phenomenal rock, and what kind of opportunities for climbing probably existed on stone like this. I wave of relief pass over me, as I realized, that the awe I was experiences was just a product of the fact that this rock was in fact so new, that if I had seen it before, it couldn't have been so stunning, as I would have been used to by now. I realized I was jet-lagged, stopped thinking, put myself smack dab in the moment, grabbed my samples of the new Team Shoes I got in OR which i was so excited to toe hook with, and started warming up with Nalle and Ian. Jes began trying the ungraded Palm Beach, an amazing scoop problem, and we started to delve into the section of the great Wheel.
WOW! Everything was so cool on that problem, the moves where much different then I expected, and it was actually longer then it seemed in ll the videos I had seen. The ending is powerful, a strange sequence moving off a sloppy pinch, climbing into a scoop with a crazy gaston pocket. Nalle found some great beta that worked for him with a heel hook, much like the method of Dai Koyamado, where Ian and I where a bit more dumfounded, and eventually figured a method more like that of Ethan Pringles.
So lets back up a sec. Ethan Pringle! An old friend of mine, and an incredible climber, his ascent last year of this problem was really impressive. After watching him cruise it in perfect style on vimeo, I admit, I thought the boulder wasn't going to be that bad, but no no no! Its super hard for what it is, and it is really impassive he climbed this thing in about three days of work! Props buddy,you have set the bar pretty high here!
We climbed until terminal pump, working our way down, figuring out the moves as a team. It was a great session, which ended with an immaculate v4 on a ridge, overlooking the Taipan wall, and a brisk Australian Winter wind coming over the ridges on the horizon. Feeling in love with life, and inspired, and completely disoriented and decapitated by the jet lag and mass physical exertion of the climbing session, I stumbled down the trail to car with thew homies, all of us looking forward to a serious nights sleep after some food. Luckily Ian and Jes could cook, Nalle and I watched TV and stoked the awesome fireplace, and we all crashed, marking the end of our first day climbing, and third day on the Southern Hemisphere.
The next day, barely capable of walking due to the extreme sore muscles acquired in Hollow Mountain, we cruised to Mt Staplyton to check out the Taipain wall, and a vast array of boulder problems littered among its base. We warmed up on some amazing font-like problems, and there was a lizard on the top of the boulder I hung out with for a while. We took photos, and got used to the rock, I filmed the lizard, and we all had fun. After ambling up the hill a couple hours later, extra slow, we walked straight up to huge overhanging bulb on top of a slab, sitting directly in front of the surreal bright orange and blue streaked cliff, the left side of Taipain. I spotted Groove Trains extension, and Sneaky Snake, looked in the direction of the Afterglow wall, and thought of all the photos I had seen and computed. We kind freaked out, the project on the boulder in front of us, was marked in the guidebook, things seemed to good to be true, and we boot up. The boulder was harder then we thought at first, battling a hug move to some jugs from these sloping huecos, we traded five finger and worked the line into submission, fur malting a sequence as a team, and getting a feel for the special type of stone.
Knackered from everything, we attempted to find the Citadal for one more problem, a spot where the famous Ammagamma could be found, and as the sun set we walked the base of the fiery red Taiapin wall, and felt extra lucky, even if we could barely walk. Swirls of maroon, twisted like some strange solid realeased into liquid, a balsamic-meets-olive-oil type of feeling and radical honeycomb shapes towered 200 feet above. We got super lost, as we bushwhacked through the actual "Bush" and stumbled passed new rocks and a famous sector called "between the sheeps."
We finally found the trail, amidst the spider webs and font rocks, hiked 2 kilometers back to our car, made it home, and fell asleep post fajitas.
Its our second rest day today, yesterday we brushed incredible new boulders and scoped projects, Jes climbed on some incredible Font-like problems, and by the end of the day, Ian and I started feeling a little under the weather. We hoped sickness was not our fate, but sure enough, it hit hard, the typical congestion of a common cold swept over my sinus', and I was sick. This morning I woke up feeling like I had a cold, it was raining as well which was a bit of a bummer, but spirits where still high. We are lucky to be here, and every moment of the trip so far has proven majestic.
The owners of the cabins we are staying at had a family reunion over the weekend, big bonfires, and general Australian Fanfare, which we got to be a part of at our leisure. The full moon will set tonight or tomorrow, and the stars, which are supposedly extra plentiful down here, will be out when the clouds clear. This has been the most fun I have had in the last couple years, filling me with positive energy, and new found motivation, which I feel like I have never had. I can't wait to climb again, explore more of the country, see more critters and meet more people. Stay tuned for another update, whenever it may be, I am sure the stories will only get more and "moua" exciting.

In the European Middle Ages, the harm a personâs gaze could cause was greatly feared. A stare was considered an act of aggression; intense gazing was believed to exert immense power over the individual observed.
The love of looking, or scopophilia, is a common motif among female figures in medieval art and literature where it is usually expressed as a motherly or sexually interested gaze--one sanctioned, the other forbidden. Sandra Summers investigates these two major variants of female voyeurism in exemplary didactic and courtly literature by medieval German authors. Setting the motif against the periodâs dominant patriarchal ethos and its almost exclusive pattern of male authorship, Summers argues that the maternal gaze was endorsed as a stabilizing influence while the erotic gaze was condemned as a threat to medieval order.
Summers examines whether medieval artists and writers invented the idea of âogling,â or whether they were simply recording a behavioral practice common at the time. She investigates how the act of ogling altered the narrative trajectory of female characters, and she also considers how it may have affected the regulation and restriction of women during Europeâs Middle Ages.
Drawing upon contemporary gender studies, womenâs studies, film studies, and psychology, Summers argues that the female gaze ultimately governs social formation. The exploration of the female gaze in period literature transcends medieval scholarship and impacts our understanding of the broader problem of gender perceptions and social structuring in Western civilization.

The 2nd Summit of CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) Osteoporosis Societies met in St. Petersburg on September 23, 2012 to review the status of osteoporosis in the region since the landmark IOF Eastern European & Central Asian Regional Audit of 2010. The delegates' signed appeal outlines five clear areas in which action must be taken in order to reduce the enormous socio-economic burden of osteoporosis and related fractures.
The Meeting was held under the auspices of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) and with the participation of osteoporosis societies and medical doctors from the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Republic of Belarus, Republic of Moldova, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Five of these societies Russian Association on Osteoporosis, Ukraine Association on Osteoporosis, Armenian Osteoporosis Association, Belorussian Public Association "Overcome Osteoporosis Together" and Moldovan Anti-osteoporosis Association - are members of the IOF Committee of National Societies.
In 2010, representatives of these osteoporosis societies, together with colleagues from other 11 countries from the Eastern European and Central Asian Region, jointly prepared and issued the 'IOF Eastern European & Central Asian Regional Audit Epidemiology, costs and burden of osteoporosis in 2010'. The document demonstrated that osteoporosis is one of the major health problems throughout the region. According to the data reported by the authors of the Audit, the situation might be called threatening. By 2050, the population of the majority of CIS countries will have substantially decreased while the proportion of patients with osteoporosis fractures will have increased among those who are 50 years and over.
A growing problem compounded by lack of awareness and scarcity of diagnostic facilities:
At the Summit, Professor Olga Lesnyak, President of the Russian Osteoporosis Association,

The Birth of Venusby Sarah Dunant
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Alessandra Cecchi is not quite fifteen when her father, a prosperous cloth merchant, brings a young painter back from northern Europe to decorate the chapel walls in the family's Florentine palazzo. A child of the Renaissance, with a precocious mind and a talent for drawing, Alessandra is intoxicated by the painter's abilities.
But their burgeoning relationship is interrupted when Alessandra's parents arrange her marriage to a wealthy, much older man. Meanwhile, Florence is changing, increasingly subject to the growing suppression imposed by the fundamentalist monk Savonarola, who is seizing religious and political control. Alessandra and her native city are caught between the Medici state, with its love of luxury, learning, and dazzling art, and the hellfire preaching and increasing violence of Savonarola's reactionary followers. Played out against this turbulent backdrop, Alessandra's married life is a misery, except for the surprising freedom it allows her to pursue her powerful attraction to the young painter and his art.
The Birth of Venus is a tour de force, the first historical novel from one of Britain's most innovative writers of literary suspense. It brings alive the history of Florence at its most dramatic period, telling a compulsively absorbing story of love, art, religion, and power through the passionate voice of Alessandra, a heroine with the same vibrancy of spirit as her beloved city.
"Sarah Dunant has given us a story of sacrifice and betrayal, set during Florence's captivity under the fanatic Savanarola. She writes like a painter, and thinks like a philosopher: juxtapositioning the humane against the animal, hope against fanaticism, creativity against destruction. The Birth of Venus is a tour de force." Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire
"[T]he author has a genius for peppering her narrative with little-known facts, and the deadpan dialogue lends a staccato verve to the swift-moving plot....Dunant's vivid, gripping novel gives fresh life to a captivating age of glorious art and political turmoil." Publishers Weekly
"No real surprises in the romance department, but the depiction of Florence as Tehran under the Ayatollah is an eye-opener." Kirkus Reviews
"[A] lush and intellectually gripping novel....This is a beautifully written and captivating work." Elsa Gaztambide, Booklist
"[S]mart and engaging....Dunant has injected a kind of realpolitik into the genre, making it far more poignant and interesting." David Liss, The Washington Post Book World
"[E]nthralling....Dunant's latest profiles a strong Renaissance woman making bold choices to find fulfillment in constrained circumstances. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"Simply amazing, so brilliantly written...almost intolerably exciting at times, and at others, equally poignant." Antonia Fraser
"Dunant has created a vivid and compellingly believable picture of Renaissance Florence: the squalor and brutality; the confidence and vitality; the political machinations. Her research has obviously been meticulous....A magnificent novel." The Telegraph (London)
"A beautiful serpent of a novel, seductive and dangerous...full of wise guile, the most brilliant novel yet from a writer of powerful historical imagination and wicked literary gifts. Dunant's snaky tale of art, sex and Florentine hysteria consumes utterly — but the experience is all pleasure." Simon Schama
"No one should visit Tuscany this summer without this book. It is richly textured and driven by a thrillerish fever." The Times (London)
"[Dunant's] control, pace, and instinct are well-nigh impeccable." The Financial Times
"It's to Dunant's credit that the vast quantities of historical information in this book are deployed so naturally and lightly....On the simplest level, this is an erotic and gripping thriller, but its intellectual excitement also comes from the way Dunant makes the art and philosophy of the period look new and dangerous again....Theology has rarely looked so sexy." The Independent (London)
"Though The Birth of Venus has been described, for obvious reasons, as serpentine...the imaginative energy of the enterprise is clearly warmblooded, playful, even reckless — more feline than reptilian." Valerie Martin, The New York Times Book Review
The Birth of Venus is a tour de force from one of Britain's most innovative thriller writers. It brings alive the history of Florence at its most dramatic period, telling a compulsively absorbing story of love, art, religion and power through the passionate voice of Alessandra, a remarkable heroine with the same vibrancy as her beloved city.
About the Author

Mississippi DT Jerrell Powe decided to conduct almost a complete workout at the school's pro day held Tuesday, and it just might have paid off for him.
With representatives from 18 teams present, Powe (6-foot-2, 329 pounds), who was at the NFL Scouting Combine last month, ran 5.29 and 5.36 seconds in the 40-yard dash, had a 24 ½-inch vertical jump, a 7-foot, 10-inch broad jump and ran a 4.96 short shuttle. He stood on his 3-cone drill time and bench-press lifts from the Combine.
Powe's workout was pretty solid, probably a bit better than his performance at the Combine, which could go a long way for his hopes of being drafted.
As for DE Kentrell Lockett, he remains in limbo, waiting for the NCAA's decision on another year of eligibility. He declined his invitation to the Combine because of the situation, and did not participate in Mississippi's pro day as a result.
One other notable participant, DL Ted Laurent (6-0 ½, 304) ran 5.00 and 5.08 40s, had a 28-inch vertical, a 9-foot long jump, a 4.76 short shuttle, an 8.13 3-cone drill and did 29 bench-press repetitions at 225 pounds.

Airlines cut some Eugene flights
EUGENE, Ore. - Boeing 737 service between Eugene and San Francisco started last month with much excitement.
But exactly one month after United Airlines started the flights, the airline announced the service will stop in August.
In late June, Horizon Airlines will cut one Seattle flight.
These changes are symptoms of the unhealthy airline industry. Thanks to high fuel costs and the weak economy, airlines are bleeding money--and they're dipping into your wallet to recoup lost costs.
This week, Delta Airlines announced it will tack on $10 to $40 in fuel surcharges per roundtrip ticket. American Airlines became the sixth carrier to add a $25 charge for checking a second bag.
Meanwhile, US Airways and United Airlines are considering a merge similar to the recently announced Delta-Northwest Airlines merger.
That means less competion.
The Eugene Airport's director is watching potential mergers with a close eye.
"We'll have to look at that, because both US Airways and United fly into here," said Tim Doll. "So we'll have to look at that to see if it'll affect any of our routes. We think it'll work for us and be positive for us but until they come up with details about how it'll work we won't know for sure."
Many travelers we spoke with say they've had enough.
"I think it's very hard, I don't look forward to flying anymore. It's just too much of a drudge, at least the large plane helped somewhat," said Eugene resident Bill Nagy.
Others say they'll keep flying, because the alternative means paying more.
"We just flew to Vegas, and it was cheaper to fly to Vegas than to drive a vehicle for two people," said Rick Higgins.
His relative, Gary Higgins, agrees.
"It's still a better deal," said Gary Higgins. "Of course, I hate saying that because people will pick up on it and it will get more expensive."

Rated 4 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BeerLuver Cool doggie toy Got this for the family dog Bruno at my parent's house; which our entire family plays with & considers part of the family :). He loves it so far; only has had the chance to play with it outside twice due to the weird Wisconsin weather we've been having this Spring so far :/. My 5 yr old nephew plays the most with Bruno when it comes to ball tossing & other playful means. So the nephew himself gets a kick as well out of the 'glowing Bruno ball' as he calls it haha. Batteries for this area cheap if you know where to look/buy ;), so it running out of power won't be an issue. As to if the battery top/cap staying on ... only time will tell. It's a nice hard rubber feel to it, a little bit of bounce, and a nice weight to it. All in all, a nice & interesting dog toy. April 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by pepper Neat! We purchased the ball in blue. It is cool! Lots of light and fun to watch the dog fetch and retrieve. She was pretty excited to get a new play toy and hasn't seemed to be able to destroy it after 20 minutes. December 31, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nicky K9 LED Lighted Dog Ball My dog and I both love this ball. I should have bought all three colors! July 16, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by camcc1 K9 LED LIghted Dog Ball The ball is amazing my friend has a dog with an anxiety issue and she gets a lot of excercise playing with it. she even plays with it by herself which is really good for her anxiety. she could not be happier since she got it, the ball is awesome. The brightness of the glow really keeps her interested in it. February 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Elissaws K9 LED Light Ball This dog toy is a great idea. Our labrador retriever loves it. However, she was able to remove the plug that turns the LED light on and off. For future designs, it may be a good idea to make this doggie proof. Now how to do this I have no idea...lol. All in all the LED ball is great for outdoors during dusk and into twilight, both you and your dog have no problem keeping your eye on the ball. January 12, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by AuntB Very Disappointed I ordered this LED Light Up Ball for our dog and it only worked two times. It wasn't cheap as far as a dog toy goes. I am very disappointed in it and would not recommend purchasing this item. September 19, 2012

Pregnant Preteen Chapter One
I groaned waking up at precisely five thirty a.m. rushing to the attached bathroom throwing up last night's dinner in the toilet just as time. I stayed there for a couple moments throwing up violently being sick shaking with worry about it since I had never really been sick before. I sighed in relief as the nausea slightly stopped sitting down on the tiles flushing away the vomit before I could look at it and become sick again. Sitting down made me uncomfortable for some reason. I just couldn't get comfortable no matter what I did. My stomach hurt like hell for another unknown reason. I'm hungry, I thought to myself. I nodded standing carefully wiping the sides of my mouth with a napkin throwing it out brushing my teeth three times to get the taste of prior stomach contents out.
I then walked into my room frowning still feeling uncomfortable. Today was just one of those days. I picked out a shirt and jeans then went back into the bathroom to go pee since my bladder was practically bursting. After I did my business I got changed and groaned feeling the jeans extra tight around my thighs and butt. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was a bit bloated. Stomach cramps, nausea, bloating. I sighed. I hated this time of the month. I pulled my jeans off slipping on yoga pants instead. It was a cooler day today and I was stuck in an air conditioned room most of the time for cheerleading practice.
I brushed my long chestnut hair that went down to the end of my back and the beginning of my butt putting it in a ponytail heading downstairs. My older brother, Joshua, was already downstairs. I rolled my eyes at the McDonald's sign on his breakfast.
"That stuff makes you fat," I said walking past him to the cupboards reaching for the bowls.
"At least I'm not already fat," he retorted back. Ouch. That hurt. I rolled my eyes feeling a sudden urge to either strangle him or kill him but I kept my cool. After all, he was my brother. I grabbed a bowl pouring cereal in it sitting down pouring milk as well. Turns out Joshua was still on his hashbrowns. Finally he got to his breakfast sandwhich and I was already on my third bowl of raisin brand. He opened his wrapper and immediately I scrunched my nose in disgust.
"Ew," I drawled. "Onions." He shrugged and ate his sandwich then burped loudly in my face. My stomach did a flip. Oh god, I thought. I was about to put my glass of orange juice down when my breakfast came back up. It overflowed the cup and I bolted to the kitchen sink throwing up the five or so bowls of cereal feeling my stomach twist and turn.
"Gross!" Josh exclaimed standing and getting out of the way before I could throw up on him. I rolled my eyes. He usually got drunk he should know what an upset stomach feels like. I sighed leaning away from the sink turning the water on along with the garbage disposal pouring some Lisol in it to make it smell better and disinfected.
"That's what you get for burping in my face," I sighed tiredly. Today just wasn't my day. My dad would make me go to cheerleading anyways so why bother telling him I was sick? I walked to my glass dumping it in the sink with the running water then putting it in the dishwasher. I stood back up turning to get my plate when Josh smirked and burped in my face again. This time it reeked more like onions than ever.
"Extra onions," he smirked stepping away. "For good luck at eighth grade." He ran upstairs. I was too sick to think. The sink was too far away (only a couple feet) but I could only stumbled backwards into the dishwasher hearing acracking sound then the sound of me vomiting all over the place. I didn't know I had eaten that much.
After another few minutes I was done and started cleaning up quickly frowning at the few broken dishes and the now broken dishwasher. I sighed shaking my head walking upstairs quickly getting in the shower feeling another lurch in my stomach as the hot water hit me. I didn't get sick since there was nothing left in my stomach but my migraine worsend.

Researchers Find Value in Exomes
In a pioneering effort, researchers have demonstrated the value of a new strategy for identifying relatively rare genetic variants that may cause or contribute to disease.
The human genome—all the DNA in a human being—is massive. A team of scientists from the University of Washington in Seattle and Agilent Technologies reasoned that the important genetic information about a person might be obtained more quickly and at lower cost by isolating and sequencing exons. Exons are the parts of the human genome that contain the information needed to produce proteins, the building blocks of the body. The complete set of exons, referred to as the "exome," makes up just a small fraction of the human genome-about 1%.
To test this approach, the researchers focused on the exomes of 8 people (4 Yoruba, 2 East Asians, 2 European-Americans) whose DNA had previously been characterized by the International HapMap Project, which produced a comprehensive catalog of common human genetic variation. The researchers also included 4 unrelated people with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome, a rare inherited disorder, to see if exome sequencing had the power to detect the mutations known to exist in their DNA.
The study was funded by NIH's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) as part of the Exome Project, a program jointly managed by NHLBI and NHGRI to develop, validate and begin to apply a cost-effective, high-throughput approach for exome sequencing.
The researchers began by shearing the 12 samples of genomic DNA into fragments and then used special probes to capture only those fragments that contained exons. The resulting 12 exomes were then sequenced and analyzed. The researchers reported in the online edition of the journal Nature on August 16, 2009, that they analyzed 300 million bases of DNA sequence altogether.
When they compared the exome sequences to publicly available human genome sequence, the researchers found the new technique was sensitive enough to detect genetic variations both common and rare. They were also able to pinpoint the causal genetic variant in the DNA of the 4 people with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome.
These findings demonstrate that, for now, exome sequencing offers a faster, more cost-effective method for pinpointing genetic variants than sequencing entire genomes. Ultimately, researchers and clinicians would prefer a whole genome sequence. Recent research has shown that other parts of the genome can influence a person's risk of disease. However, exome sequencing will remain useful until the sequencing of entire genomes becomes quicker and more affordable.
"We have great hope that targeted sequencing, when applied to a larger number of individuals, will be used to discover the genetic underpinnings of common conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol," says NHLBI Director Dr. Elizabeth G. Nabel. "The current findings provide the fundamental groundwork for pursuing this important goal."

Costs in NH?
If anyone here lives in NH and boards there horse, can you tell me what you pay?
I live in NH, and my friends boarding farm charges 360 for full board/month, and 150 or so for field board, meaning they stay in the field, and eat hay, with a run-in, but do not go into a stall unless there is a huge storm.
I board in NH. I just left a place that was charging 650 full board with an indoor arena. I just moved to another facility that isn't as "pretty" but a million times better for my horse. I still have an indoor and now pay 450 full board. I am curious to know if there is anyone in the Milton, Wakefield, Rochester, Sanbornville NH area that is looking for a boarding facility. I am considering buying property and opening my own facility, with an indoor and miles of trails.

Is it possible to know if there are some problems on release of JVM for AIX?
In other words I have an Java application compiled with Sun javac for Windows; according with concept "compile once, run everywhere", I would know if there are problems on running my Windows compiled Java programs on an AIX platforms. Or I need to recompile?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Java isn't really "write once, run everywhere", it's "write once, test everywhere". You need to test your application on AIX to check for any non-portable assumptions in your code or bugs in the AIX Java environment.
You don't need to recompile on AIX. If you have problems, they will be because of the code or the Java environment, not because of what system you compiled on.

Everything Old is News Again
By: Nancy McDonald and Salvador Pliego
Posted: June 5, 2009, from the June 2009 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 5 of 6
Nancy: Petrolatum? That is so outré that younger consumers may not even understand what that is.
Salvador: That's not, however, a basis for condemning this misunderstood ingredient. Although it has had very bad PR in recent years, petrolatum is a material that has been historically used in the beauty industry because, in addition to being incredibly cost-efficient, it's one of the best moisturizers on the planet.
There is a reason why traditional ingredients will never die—they are the classic workhorses. Although not sexy as the thoroughbreds, they work diligently to get the job done. And it is the combined job of marketing and R&D to couple these workhorses with new and appropriate technology to have the real cutting-edge winner.
Nancy: This discussion does underline our basic belief that when marketing and R&D put their heads together, it is a sure thing and a win/win for both—and for the consumer.
The perspective certainly invigorates and expands our potential improved and efficacious technology platforms for both skin care and makeup. Even fragrance can benefit from a meaningful fusion of the classic and the exotic, and I'm already composing a product story ... the old and new; the yin and yang. The marriage of classic and breakthrough technologies as complementary elements working in unity for superlative efficacy. A perfect partnership.

Shipping Surcharge: $50.00
Item # D1123
The quintessential Colonial era design, our High-Back Chair is crafted in West Virginia of sustainably harvested Appalachian maple. It is thought that 16th-century wheelrights introduced the practice of turning chair spindles on a lathe, as they turned spokes for wheels. Because the spindles and legs are round-tenoned, or fit into drilled holes, High-Back chairs allow for more delicacy of line than a standard chair where the back legs and uprights are carved from a single piece.
This chair ships with White Glove delivery. We'll bring it into your home, set it up, and remove all packaging. Delivery surcharges apply.

Bad Decisions of 2009: Drinking Chelada
The Cardinals made it to the Super Bowl. A commercial airliner made a better [crash] landing on the Hudson River than they do under normal conditions on land. The largest underwater press conference of all time occurred with 61 journalists. Wait… What?
2009 has just begun and it's already off to a crazy start with a failing economy, Michael Vick still in jail, and an executive branch for our government that 10 years ago nobody would have fathomed. With craziness all around me, I was feeling a little ballsy last night and I puffed out my bird chest and marched right into Walmart and grabbed a 24 ounce can of Chelada. What is Chelada you ask? It's Bud Light mixed with Clamato, which is tomato juice and reconstituted clam broth. Wait…What?
As it turns out, it's a very popular Mexican drink with many different variations to it, each just as bad, or more so, than the next. Effectively what Anheuser-Busch has done is taken the three things I hate most; Bud Light (I kid, I kid.), tomato juice, and reconstituted clam broth, and thrown them together. But don't worry, there is a dash of salt and lime which brings the whole ensemble together "nicely".
It poured a bright pink and the nose was very lively and smelled of…well, watered down V8 and clams. It took me a few tries to muster up the strength to get a good whiff as I kept gagging. Then I tried it. It had an obvious seafood-ish taste with watered down tomato on the end and was very carbonated. What about the Bud Light you may ask? It doesn't have any flavor anyways – would you expect to taste it over tomato juice and reconstituted clam broth?
After the tasting, it was game over. I made some other people try it and laughed at them, but ultimately it ended up in the toilet looking like someone had just performed a water birthing. My next mission is to get Wine Mutineer Alan Kropf to try some. We'll see.
Alan Kropf | Tuesday, February 3, 2009
Tomato juice and reconstituted clam broth FTW!
Brian | Tuesday, February 3, 2009
Water birthing FTW.
Ben T | Wednesday, February 4, 2009
I'm not sure why an easily queasy gringo (to judge only from this entry, not to personally attack) who's evidently never heard of the very popular michelada drink (Pacifico or Corona with lime, salt and Clamato) is tasked to review Budweiser's surely sickening new gimmick. Michelada can be tasty and replenishing if made in correct balance and drunk on a hot tropical evening after a day of surfing and bikini chasing. It does not taste like clams.
Brian | Wednesday, February 4, 2009
Thanks for the comment Ben T. I actually have heard of the michelada, it's a Mexican Bloody Mary of sorts, but I haven't tried it. Assuming it's along the lines of the Chelada (probably better being that it isn't associated with A-B), I think I'd probably have the same reaction, but again that's only personal preference … but I have a hunch the editors here at MM would have a similar experience.
Ben T | Thursday, February 5, 2009
I do think the key is context. I certainly have no desire to venture out on a cool winter night in Portland for a michelada (or a Budweiser Chelada disaster). Just as PBR only tastes proper after a day of hard work or a long hike, a michelada only really makes sense on a sweaty evening while one tries to work a splash of healthy sustenance into a week-long buzz. If the clams seem weird, just use V-8 juice with a dash of worchestershire (along with the lime and salt).
Sherri | Monday, February 9, 2009
You ought to have a "gross beer concoction" section your blog. So far this, along with your latest "beer float," could both be filed there.
And as for Michael Vick…the longer that maniac is behind bars, the better for all human(and dog)kind!
Dog-lover that I am, I had to throw that last in there.

The effects of White Peony include nourishing the blood, regulating menstruation, reinforcing yin with astringent action to stop sweating, nourishing the liver pain and suppressing the liver-yang.
Peony Root is a famous and highly prized blood tonic used to relax muscles and cleanse the blood. It is one of the most highly prized women's herbs used traditionally to help regulate the female hormonal cycle. It is also used as a pain reducing agent, and as an emotional stabilizer by women. It is said to relieve cramps and spasms anywhere in the body.
Irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, metrorrhagia and metrostaxis due to blood deficiency. It is often used along with Chinese angelica root, chuanxiong rhizome, and prepared rehmannia root.
Spontaneous sweating due to exterior deficiency and night sweat due to yin deficiency. For the former, it is often used with cinnamon twig; for the latter, it is often prescribed with oyster shell, dragon's bone, arborvitae seed, etc.
Pain in the hypochondrium, stomach and abdomen due to disorder of the liver-qi or spasm and pain in the extremities. For pain in the hypochondrium due to stagnation of the liver-qi, it is often dispensed with bupleurum root and cyperus tuber, as in Bupleurum Powder for Dispersing Liver-qi (Chaihu Shugan San); for abdominal pain and diarrhea, it can be used with white atractylodes rhizome, tangerine peel and ledebouriella root, as in Prescription of Importance for Diarrhea with Pain(Tongxie Yaofang); for dysenteric abdominal pain, it can be used with aucklandia root, areca seed and coptis root; for spasmodic pain of the stomach and abdomen or in the extremities, it is often used with liquorice as in Decoction of Peony and liquorice(Shaoyao Gancao Tang).
For hyperactivity of the liver-yang marked by headache and vertigo, it is often used along with dried rehmannia root, achyranthes root and red ochre, as in Sweeping Down Decoction for Hypertension(Jianling Tang).
Medicinal virtues: The roots have more virtues than the seed, next the flowers, and then the leaves. The root is washed, crushed and infused for at least 24 hours. It is then strained and a good draught taken morning and evening for several days. This will cure the falling-sickness in old as well as young, if the disease be not of too long standing and past cure. The body can be prepared by taking ale drink-posset made of Betony. The root or the seed beaten to a powder, and given in wine, is effectual for cleansing the womb after childbirth and easing the mother. Taken morning and night, the black seed is effectual for nightmare and melancholy dreams. The distilled water or syrup made of the flowers works the same, but more weakly.

Another victory on The Celebrity Apprentice that goes towards an AIDS Organization. This time, comedian Lisa Lampanelli's team won the 'puppet round' and she used the $20,000 winnings to go towards GMHC (Gay Men's Health Clinic) in New York.
GMHC fights to end the AIDS epidemic and uplift the lives of all affected.
It seems the battle this episode centered around "Puppets" that were assisted by non other than Brian Henson, son of the famous Jim Henson.
We're glad that The Celebrity Apprentice contestants have chosen numerous AIDS groups to donate the winnings to. Congradulations Lisa Lampanelli. Great job and we'll keep watching.

As a follow-up to the deuterated-drugs idea, I note (courtesy of a co-worker) that Concert Pharmaceuticals has press-released their first issued patents on deuterated analogs of existing drugs.
So apparently the novelty and utility requirements have passed the first major sniff tests. I don't know if the case to be made for these (rimonabant and mosapride) is different than the others that Concert has on their IP assembly line, but I doubt it. If these issued, you'd figure that the others probably will, too. I can't imagine that the rimonabant patent's going to be worth all that much, though, since that drug has failed for reasons that I can't see being addressed by a deuterium analog.
As mentioned here before, though, the IP space here seems to be rather crowded, at least when you look at the number of applications. It's presumably quite a traffic jam at the patent offices - and it'll presumably be some time before that gets sorted out. And that's just at this stage of the game: if any of the companies in this space start to hit it big, it wouldn't surprise me to see lawsuits, requests for re-examination and the like.

It looks like that Auspex has also received a patent for SD-254, the deuterated analogue of venlafaxine.
Rimonabant is metabolized by CYP3A4 (and also amidohydrolases). The potent inhibitors of CYP3A4 are known to elevate the exposure of rimonabant upto 2.7 fold. I am not sure whether the deuterium version of rimonabant was designed to mitigate CYP3A4 metabolism.

Any change in molecular structure which produces a non-obvious change in the underlying utility (let's say binding affinity), will likely be patentable if it's novel. You can't expect a patent on propecia with a deuterated site if it produces the same bio-activity. It's the surprising change which must be proved to the patent office.
Still, these are new molecular entities, so the patents might be offensive in nature, with little actual desire to receive the final patent. But by filing they produce new prior art which prevents patents on the compounds themselves.

I just checked. Those suckers sailed right through the PTO. The '131 patent was pending less than a year, and allowed on the first Office Action, so no need to overcome an obviousness rejection.

Powerful castration drug pushed for autistic children, but medical experts denounce unproven claims
Trine Tsouderos
Tribune reporter
May 21, 2009
Desperate to help their autistic children, hundreds of parents nationwide are turning to an unproven and potentially damaging treatment: multiple high doses of a drug sometimes used to chemically castrate sex offenders.
The therapy is based on a theory, unsupported by mainstream medicine, that autism is caused by a harmful link between mercury and testosterone. Children with autism have too much of the hormone, according to the theory, and a drug called Lupron can fix that.
"Lupron is the miracle drug," Dr. Mark Geier of Maryland said after meeting with an autistic patient in suburban Chicago.
Geier and his son developed the "Lupron protocol" for autism and are marketing it across the country, opening clinics in states from Washington to New Jersey. In the Chicago area, the treatment is available through Dr. Mayer Eisenst

It's interesting to note that these patents ahve been allowed but was this the easy option for the examiners
Most (all) of these deuterated compound applications stem from 3 companies
Auspex, Concert and Protia.
Protia's patents appear to b a blunderbuss approach, with a mass of US filings 237 published to date but only 11 PCT applications.
These all appera to provide no exemplification nor any biological description
Concert has 39 PCTs and 26 US applications published
Auspex 57 PCTS and 39 US applications.
Both provide some chemical exemplification with some biological assays described. Of those I've seen only Asupex provides some data on improved metabolic stability.
I've yet to come across one that shows any indication of pharmacological activity which, with the exception of certain enzyme inhibitors, would be expected to be the same as the original drug
7. Anonymous on May 29, 2009 6:47 AM writes...
The more interesting point for me is whether use of the deuterated compounds infriges a previous patent for the drug... Does the element 'H' in a structure cover deuterium? Surely there is an inherent lack of novelty in that at least some of the drug produced previously would be deuterated at naturally occuring levels... Any thoughts?
8. Tok on May 29, 2009 7:21 AM writes...
Anon #7 - You bring up an interesting point. If someone is granted a patent for a deuterated compound, if someone else is making it with naturally occurring isotopes, is that infringement? Would all other producers now need to use strictly undeuterated starting materials with all the naturally occurring deuterium removed?
9. weirdo on May 29, 2009 9:11 AM writes...
The rights granted to a later patent-holder do not surplant those granted to an originator. That was the point of my question above.
If the innovator patent claims "and isotopes", but one of these biotechs gets a patent to a specific isotopically-labelled version due to a "surprising" effect, that doesn't mean the biotech can sell that version. They would still be infringing the earlier patent (I'm not an attorney and this is not legal advice yada yada yada . . . but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night).
And, Tok, I'm assuming naturally occurring D is OK, since there was a ruling a few years ago that human metabolites were covered when claiming a drug dosed to a human . . .
10. Anonymous on May 29, 2009 10:24 AM writes...
#9 Weirdo
I agree with you on this one. I am a trainee patent attorney, so please don't take me too seriously (lol). But even if a later patent was aquired for the all-D version of a drug (e.g. in a particular position on the molecule; assuming they could demonstrate unexpected benefits etc etc) then I would still err towards thinking that they infringe the earlier patent to the standard, non-D enriched drug (and so have to licence etc).
This is the same as supposing that a patent can be granted for a single enantiomer, but that you still need to licence the patent for the racemate... (or is it?).
It all depends on how the courts will interpret the scope of the earlier patent, and the courts can be funny things.
If the holders of a patent to the all-D drug do need to licence the original patent, then they'd better hope that the new version is pretty good, and so tempts the earlier patent holders into some kind of agreement. Being pretty good (in an unexpected way) would also be a requirement of getting the patent in the first place though... so I can see how the strategy comes about.
I'd love to hear any other opinions on this. Maybe a further post on this subject Derek?
#7 Anon
11. SRC on May 29, 2009 12:18 PM writes...
Couple points. It's perfectly possible to patent something that would infringe if practiced. In fact, this is very common. If someone claims a genus with R = A-Z, and someone finds that group G yields an especially useful compound, he can patent that specific compound over the genus. He can't practice his invention, but he can patent it. The original inventor can't practice the invention with R=G, either. This is similar to improvement patents in mechanical and electrical engineering, and both are classic cross-licensing situations.
Second point, to #7, is that the applications I've seen specify unnatural isotopic occurrence (e.g., at least X deuterium atoms). That distinguishes them from the originally claimed compounds, and thereby provides novelty. The obviousness argument remains, however.
12. Anonymous B on May 29, 2009 5:54 PM writes...
Racemate vs. pure enantiomer was proven as a viable patent without business repercussion in the case of Sepracor i.e. Claritin vs. Clarinex which Schering Plough markets but Sepracor collects royalties on Clarinex as it is the pure enantiomer of racemic Claritin. The issue of naturally deuterated vs. fully deuterated would probably come back to the % of one vs. the other. If naturally deuterated is 10% and fully is average 90%, then the innovator wouldn't be considered the same.
13. weirdo on May 29, 2009 7:35 PM writes...
OK, Anon B, you really need to brush up on some things.
1 -- Clarinex is not "the pure enantiomer of racemic Claritin". It's a metabolite.
2 -- Sepracor licensed their patent to Schering, the owner of the Claritin patent.
3 -- That patent was later thrown out, anyway.
Color me skeptical.
14. Anonymous in NC on June 2, 2009 2:26 PM writes...
Given that Concert is co-opting a patented BMS drug, a lawsuit seems imminent. It is almost BMS' fiduciary duty to challenge this.
On a separate note, how is this really meeting an unmet medical need? In current environment it is going to just look greedy to all examining healthcare costs.

November 20, 2010
By Bryan Riley and Ambassador Terry Miller
When President Obama was still candidate Obama, he traveled to Berlin to share his foreign-policy views with Europeans. "Trade," he told them, "has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development." "But," he added, "we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few and not the many."
Good news, Mr. President. It turns out that trade does benefit the many.
A new study of global trade policy and economics from the Heritage Foundation shows that free-trading countries enjoy the strongest economies. Even better, the resulting prosperity is more widely shared in those countries than in countries with large barriers to free trade.
Put simply, there is more wealth — and less income disparity — in free-trading nations than in protectionist nations.
Heritage's Index of Trade Freedom rates countries on a 1-to-100 scale on the extent to which their laws and policies encourage free trade with other nations. In general, 80 is a good score in terms of trade freedom; 72 or less is bad.
Heritage then compares those scores to the World Bank's wealth-concentration index. The researchers found that the 10 countries with the highest concentration of income in the hands of the richest 10 percent earned an average trade-freedom score of 70.2. The 10 nations with the least concentration of income averaged a trade freedom score of 84.1 — more than 20 percent higher.
The numbers indicate that nations truly interested in "spreading the wealth" should reject protectionism and embrace free-trade policies.
Free trade is an effective way to boost overall prosperity as well. The world's 10 poorest countries averaged 64.5 on the Heritage free-trade scale. The 10 with the highest per capita gross domestic product, or GDP, averaged 87.
These findings are hugely important, especially now, when free trade is under attack in a way not seen in decades. More Americans than ever work in import-export-related jobs, yet polls indicate the percentage of Americans who say free trade is good for the economy fell from 78 percent in 2002 to 59 percent in 2007. Skepticism as to the benefits of free trade has grown among all income and age groups.
This trend may well accelerate as people get increasingly nervous about rising foreign investment in the U.S. from China and other sovereign wealth funds. Voters and policymakers alike expressed outrage when the Chinese energy firm CNOOC tried to purchase the U.S.-based Unocal and reacted similarly when DP World tried to purchase operations at six U.S. ports.
But those calling for greater restrictions on trade and investment should be reminded of what happened the last time we tried protectionism. In 1930, during an economic crisis to which the present situation has been endlessly — and inappropriately — compared, Congress passed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. It imposed tariffs on 20,000 products, igniting an international trade war. Other countries swiftly retaliated with tariffs on U.S.-made products.
The result: World trade declined by two-thirds, millions of Americans lost their jobs, and the Great Depression began in earnest. The economic misery didn't abate until World War II.
Leaders of the world understand this, even when their people don't. For all the talk of free trade being "unfair to workers" and "detrimental to prosperity," countries have embraced free trade as never before. The average score on Heritage's Free Trade Index nudged higher again this year, to 74.8 — the highest since the foundation began tracking this data in 1995. Over the past decade, 142 countries have improved their scores; just 11 have gone backward.
Even with protectionist fever swirling, 85 countries improved their scores on the freedom index this year — 39 by a full point or more — and 58 regressed.
Within weeks of his speech in Berlin, candidate Obama went on CNBC and declared himself "a market guy." And so far, he has resisted calls from protectionists to clamp down on trade with China for practices some consider unfair.
But the "market guy" has shown some fear of commitment to free trade. He asked Congress to set aside work on a free-trade agreement with Korea, has sat on pending pacts with other countries and has suggested repeatedly that U.S. workers stand to get a bum deal from free trade.
That's not what the numbers show, however. Around the globe, when countries embrace free trade, the nation prospers, and the wealth spreads more freely and equitably among the people. If that's what the "market guy" truly wants, he shouldn't be so shy about letting the market do its thing.

ALBANY — The Coca-Cola Foundation on Friday presented Albany State University President Everette Freeman with a $50,000 check to be split among four ASU students as First Generation Scholarships.
The Thurgood Marshall College Fund Coca-Cola HBCU (historically black college or university) First-Generation Scholarship is funded through The Coca-Cola Foundation.
"At Coca-Cola, we believe education has a major impact in building lives and sustaining communities," Coca-Cola Georgia/Florida Zone manager Jim Winkler said. "These folks will be the first in their families to achieve a college degree. Each time the Coca-Cola First Generation Scholarship program is established at a new college or university, we're able to help more students fulfill their dreams of pursuing higher education."
The scholarship can be used for tuition and additional fees.
"Coca-Cola truly represents the true meaning of corporate responsibility at its very best," Freeman said. "The scholarship will meet the urgent needs of our students, so they can focus on course work without dealing with the burden of worrying about how to pay for classes.
"I know how important this is because I am a first generation college graduate."
To apply for the award, a student must be a U.S. citizen, enrolled as a full-time incoming freshman at ASU and earn at least a 2.8 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale.
All applicants must also qualify as a first-generation college student and submit an essay entitled, "What Does It Mean To Be The First Person In Your Family To Receive A College Degree."
"We're appreciative of Coca-Cola and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund for investing in our students," said Clifford Porter Jr., ASU vice president for institutional advancement.
The Thurgood Marshall College Fund is the only national organization to provide scholarships, programmatic and capacity building support to the nation's 47 public HBCUs.
To date, the organization has awarded more than $200 million in such assistance to its students and member-schools.

McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Storiesby Michael Chabon
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Michael Chabon is back with a brand-new collection that reinvigorates the stay-up-all-night, edge-of-the seat, fingernail-biting, page-turning tradition of literary short stories, featuring Margaret Atwood, Stephen King, Peter Straub, David Mitchell, Jonathan Lethem, Heidi Julavits, Roddy Doyle, and more!
Margaret Atwood — "Lusus Naturae"
"With this varied collection of enchanting though not always astonishing tales, Chabon (who also edited McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales) aims for an anthology full of 'genre bending and stylistic play.' There's quite a lineup of writers taking a stab at 'genre' fiction here: many expected (Margaret Atwood, Stephen King), but a few surprises as well, and a newcomer or two. Atwood offers a fantastical tale of a human 'lusus naturae' (freak of nature) who suffers from a nameless disease that results in yellow eyes, red fingernails and fangs — how does such a creature fit into a family? Jonathan Lethem's charming 'Vivian Relf,' which concerns two strangers who seem familiar to each other and who continue to cross each others' paths, is a kind of love story, but there are also tales creepy (Jason Roberts's '7C') and strange (China Miéville's 'Reports of Certain Events in London'). Stephen King's 'Lisey and the Madman' is full of engaging detail and feeling. While a couple of stories fail to reach the high-water mark, this collection will offer readers plenty of pleasure and perhaps even a sense of doing good (an endnote says that 'this book benefits 826 Valencia,' the San Francisco writing lab founded by Dave Eggers and Co.). Agent, Mary Evans. (Nov. 9) Forecast: McSweeney's is making a name for itself as a sponsor of quirky anthologies, which should help sales of all its series." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[A] superb roster of talent....[A] first-rate collection. Thrills, chills, and otherworldly spectacles: a rare anthology that delivers on its superlatives — and then some." Kirkus Reviews
"[M]any of the tales included are neither particularly astonishing nor accomplished....What this book's best stories possess...is a sense of the abiding mystery that envelops us all — the vast, terrifying, liberating enigma of the universe itself." Charlotte Observer
"The stories are a bit uneven...but most will keep even the most discerning reader entertained....
A stellar group of contemporary fiction masters offer their original takes on the tried-and-true genres of adventure, science fiction, crime story, romance, horror, and more. Contributors include Michael Chabon, Roddy Doyle, Heidi Julavitz, Stephen King, Joyce Carol Oates, China Miéville, Peter Straub, and Jonathan Lethem.
About the Author
Michael Chabon's works of fiction include The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, A Model World, Wonder Boys, Werewolves in Their Youth, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, Esquire, and Playboy and in a number of anthologies, among them Prize Stories 1999: The O. Henry Awards. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife, Ayelet Waldman, also a novelist, and their children.
