It sounds like the setup for an off-color joke, but it's true: Viagra and the other phosphodiesterase inhibitors (definitely Cialis, and probably Levitra too) can trigger an episode of transient global amnesia (TGA), one of the more mysterious and freaky cognitive syndromes one can encounter. TGA isn't like amnesia in the soap operas, where people awake after a coma or head injury and can't remember their name or recognize their family. TGA is a brief episode of primarily anterograde amnesia, which is the inability to form new memories. The soap opera amnesia is retrograde amnesia, where past events are not recalled but the character can learn (or relearn) and rebuild an identity. Transient global amnesia can also involve retrograde amnesia but past events prior to the onset of amnesia are generally recalled without much difficulty. TGA resolves on its own, typically over the course of a few hours to a day, and usually doesn't recur.
One of the most interesting things about TGA is that, although it has been well-described for decades, there is no real agreement about how it happens. There are well-described triggers: vigorous exercise, exposure to cold, strong emotional experiences, and sexual intercourse. There have been several reports of TGA after use of medication prescribed for erectile dysfunction (Viagra, etc.) but since there was also sex involved, the medication itself wasn't considered a trigger. There have now been, however, two cases published where someone had TGA after taking an ED medication and NOT having sex.
Generally, theories about TGA fall into two categories: seizure and vascular events. Given the nature of the known triggers, and the known vasodilatory effects of ED medications, these reports would seem to favor a vascular explanation. We do know that Viagra and its kin have vascular effects that encourage erections (after all, that's the point) but they often cause headache as well, implying that they are also vasoactive in the head.
TGA is a fascinating syndrome to observe and diagnose. Sufferers typically are somewhat anxious and aware that they are experiencing something unusual. Characteristically they will ask the same questions repeatedly: usually asking why they are in the hospital, how they got there, or what they did that day. They rarely become agitated, which is somewhat surprising until you realize that to become agitated one must hold onto the idea that something is wrong or upsetting. Patients with TGA are easily reassured, for a few seconds or minutes at a time. Gradually, they can hold information for longer and longer periods until their memory is essentially restored. They do not regain memory for events that happened during the episode. It is most likely that whatever vascular changes lead to TGA involve the hippocampus, both because this is where short-term memories are encoded and also because there is some MRI evidence that some TGA patients have slight tissue loss in one or both hippocampi. The best thing about TGA, compared to most things a neurologist or psychiatrist will see in the Emergency Department, is that the prognosis is excellent. Most patients are entirely back to themselves within a day, and most will not have a repeat episode. In the past it was believed that the recovery was uniformly complete, but some studies that follow TGA patients indicate some residual but subtle cognitive impairments. TGA is fairly rare: Dr. Wikipedia gives the annual incidence in the USA as about 3 per 100,000, but that increases to 23 per 100,000 among those over 50.
You might think that this is a major side effect that would discourage use of these medications, but I have a feeling that if men can ignore concerns about vision loss, cardiac events, and prolonged painful erections, then worries about transient global amnesia won't begin to make a dent in their blockbuster sales.

One day I will write a paper called "Why does Viagra cause TGA? An attempt to resolve the 'hard problem' of neuroscience".
Incidentally, it strikes me that TGA has a lot in common with the amnesia typically seen following ECT: people don't remember the ECT session, and often don't subsequently remember much about the surrounding few days.
That could suggest a seizure etiology of TGA, but not really, because in ECT you get a grand mal seizure, wheras in TGA you generally don't.
September 24, 2010 at 5:47 am
Right. What's interesting about ECT is that the actual seizure is so brief, the EEG returns to normal within a minute, but the amnesia period can be hours or days. Which suggests that there's something about the hippocampal system which makes it especially "touchy" – if it goes wrong it takes a long time to get back to normal.
In other words, whatever initially goes wrong in TGA, it might all be over by the time the symptoms present. which will make studying it tricky.

Have you seen cases of TGa that would otherwise be classic but last more than one day. My father has what appears to be TGA with anterograde amnesia and some recent retrograde amnesia but its been a week! MAybe some improvement but not really. He is perseverating and questioning and it seems so classic. Normal MRI. Normal EEG. ONly clue is what appears to be new paroxysmal afib.
March 25, 2014 at 10:17 am
I wonder how TGA affects job performance at place of employment. Obviously, it could lead to problems where, in time, employees could get fired (lose their jobs) because they did not get lucky or those drugs did not work at the time. Loss of job (unemployment) would then lead to unaffordability of the drugs and unhappiness. And when people are unhappy, it means they will be more prone to anger. This is a very scary scenario!! :-(

Thank you for this article. It perfectly explains how my beau and I ended up in the ER last night. I awoke after sex to find him disoriented and asking the same questions over and over with no memory of answers I gave him.
He's peeved because he doesn't remember the (great) sex and is now calling for a re-do!!!

RXi Pharmaceuticals Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2013 Acquired Substantially All of OPKO Health, Inc.'s siRNA Assets in Early 2013; Completed a Private Placement in March 2013 With Gross Proceeds of $16.4 Million, Led by OPKO Health, Inc. and Frost Gamma Investments Trust; Completion of Enrollment in Second Phase 1 Trial for RXI-109 Program WESTBOROUGH, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/15/13 -- RXi Pharmaceuticals Corporation (OTCQB: RXII), a biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing innovative therapies addressing major unmet medical needs using RNA-targeted technologies, today reported its financial results for quarter ended March 31, 2013, and provided a business update. "The first quarter of 2013 has been a good one for RXi Pharmaceuticals, with steady progress -- in line with our planning and budget -- for our research and development activities", commented Dr Geert Cauwenbergh, President and CEO of the Company. He added that, "In addition to coming near the end of the Phase 1 clinical development stage for our anti-scarring compound RXI-109, RXi Pharmaceuticals has been able to significantly strengthen its cash balance by attracting new investors in its recent financing, including our largest new shareholders, OPKO Health Inc., Frost Gamma Investments Trust and Broadfin Capital, LLC, in addition to existing investors like Tang Capital Partners, LP and RTW Investments, LLC." Quarterly Financial Highlights Cash and Cash Equivalents At March 31, 2013, RXi had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $19.6 million, compared with $5.1 million at December 31, 2012. Net Loss and Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $14.4 million, including $0.6 million in non-cash share based compensation expense, compared with a net loss of $1.9 million, including $0.2 million in non-cash share based compensation expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in the net loss of $12.5 million was primarily attributable to a one-time charge of $12.3 million related to the fair value of common shares issued to OPKO Health, Inc. ("OPKO") for the purchase of substantially all of OPKO's RNAi-related assets. Net loss applicable to com mon stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $17.9 million compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $1.9 million for the comparable period in 2012. The increase in net loss applicable to common stockholders of $16.0 million was primarily attributable to the aforementioned increase in the net loss as compared to prior year and $3.5 million of dividends paid in the form of preferred stock to the Company preferred shareholders. Revenues Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.1 million as compared with no revenue for the comparable period in 2012. The increase in total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was due to the recognition of work completed on the Company's government grants during the period. Research and Development Expense Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $13.8 million, compared with $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase of $12.6 million is largely due to the one-time charge of $12.3 million related to the fair value of common shares issued to OPKO for the purchase of substantially all of OPKO's RNAi-related assets and an increase of $0.3 million in employee stock-based compensation expense. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $0.7 million, compared with $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in general administrative expenses of $0.1 million was an increase in employee stock-based compensation expense offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses, including lower personnel costs and a decrease in the use of outside professional services and consultants. Preferred Stock Dividends Accretion of Series A convertible preferred stock dividends was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with no Series A convertible preferred stock dividends for the year comparable period in 2012. Upon the Company's completion of the spin-off from its former parent company, Galena Biopharma, Inc., the Company issued shares of Series A convertible preferred stock to certain investors. The increase in preferred stock dividends relates to the fair value of dividends paid to the Series A preferred stock holders during the quarterly period. First Quarter 2013 and Recent Corporate Highlights -- Initiation and Completion of Enrollment in Second Phase 1 Clinical Trial for RXI-109 Program: The Company initiated and fully enrolled a second Phase 1 clinical trial with its anti-scarring drug candidate, RXI-109, for the management of surgical and hypertrophic scars and keloids. Nine subjects (3 cohorts of 3) were enrolled in this multi-dose escalation study, during which subjects were administered intradermal injections of RXI-109 on multiple occasions over multiple weeks. Dose levels range from 2.5 to 7.5 mg per injection, and subjects received injections of RXI-109 in four separate areas of the abdomen and placebo injections in four other areas of the abdomen. This study not only evaluates safety/tolerance parameters and systemic exposure to RXI-109, but also measures mRNA levels of CTGF and various other biomarkers considered relevant for wound healing and scarring. -- Completion of Acquisition of RNAi-related Assets from OPKO: On March 1, 2013, RXi entered into an asset purchase agreement with OPKO, in which RXi acquired substantially all of OPKO's RNAi-related assets, which included patents, licenses, clinical and preclinical data and other assets. As consideration for these assets, RXi issued to OPKO 50 million shares of its common stock and will make milestone payments to OPKO up to an aggregate of $50 million per product tied to the successful development and commercialization of products utilizing the acquired OPKO intellectual property. In addition, upon commercialization of these products, if approved, RXi would make royalty payments to OPKO. -- Completion of $16.4 million Placement of Common Stock: On March 6, 2013, RXi entered into definitive agreements related to the private placement of approximately 113 million shares of common stock at a price of $0.145 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering, which closed on March 12, 2013, were approximately $16.4 million and net proceeds to RXi, after payment of commissions, were approximately $16.0 million. The financing was lead by OPKO and Frost Gamma Investments Trust, a trust controlled by Phillip Frost, M.D. Other participants included existing investors Tang Capital Partners, LP and RTW Investments, LLC as well as new institutional and accredited investors. -- Appointment of H. Paul Dorman and Curtis A. Lockshin to the Company's Board of Directors: In April 2013, RXi appointed H. Paul Dorman and Curtis A. Lockshin to serve on the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Dorman's and Dr. Lockshin's significant industry experience will be instrumental to supporting RXi's growth and development initiatives. About RXI-10 9 RXi Pharmaceutical's first clinical program centers on RXI-109, a self-delivering RNAi compound (sd-rxRNA(R)) developed by RXi for the reduction of dermal scarring in planned surgeries. RXI-109 is designed to reduce the expression of CTGF (connective tissue growth factor), a critical regulator of several biological pathways involved in fibrosis, including scar formation in the skin. The first clinical trial of RXI-109, initiated in June 2012, was designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of several dose levels of RXI-109 in humans and may provide preliminary evidence of surgical scar reduction. A second Phase 1 trial also initiated in 2012 evaluates the safety of multiple (3) administrations of RXI-109 over 2 weeks and will allow the evaluation of RXI-109's effect on scarring-related biomarkers. As there are currently no FDA-approved drugs to prevent scar formation, a therapeutic of this type could have great benefit for trauma and surgical patients, as a treatment during the surgical revision of existing unsatisfactory scars, and in the treatment, removal and inhibition of keloids (scars which extend beyond the original skin injury). About RXi Pharmaceuticals Corporation RXi Pharmaceuticals Corporation (OTCQB: RXII) is a biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing innovative therapies based on its proprietary, next-generation RNAi platform. Therapeutics that use RNA interference, or "RNAi," have great promise because of their ability to "silence," or down-regulate, the expression of a specific gene that may be overexpressed in a disease condition. Building on the pioneering work of scientific founder and Nobel Laureate Dr. Craig Mello, RXi's first RNAi product candidate, RXI-109, which targets CTGF (connective tissue growth factor), entered into a human clinical trial in June 2012 to evaluate its safety, tolerability and potential efficacy for scar prevention.

Bank of America plans to hire 2 bankers in area to reach out to small businesses
Local bankers say they welcome the competition
Published: Saturday, October 6, 2012 at 5:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 6, 2012 at 5:53 p.m.
Bank of America is hiring two bankers in Ocala who will reach out to small local businesses. And several bankers already stationed here said the competition will be healthy for all.
"Ocala is a great market for us," said John Gardner, Bank of America senior vice president and small business banking manager for North Florida and the Panhandle. "We have nine banking centers spread across Marion County. There's a tremendous number of small businesses in Ocala."
Gardner said the economy hit Marion County hard, but the bank believes the economic recovery will be driven by small businesses. He said Bank of America recently surveyed small businesses, and about one-third of respondents said they thought they were financially savvy. That leaves two-thirds that were not.
"There's a huge opportunity to help," Gardner said. "They want a local banker who can sit down with them and learn what their needs are."
When Bank of America talks about small businesses, it means companies that have sales between $250,000 and $5 million.
The two Ocala positions are posted, and interviews will start next week. Gardner said he expects to have one position filled in November and the other in December.
One banker will be based at the Paddock Park Banking Center, and the territory will include west State Road 200 and Belleview. The other banker will be downtown at the Silver Springs Boulevard office and will serve the 17th Street and Northeast 35th Street locations.
The two bankers are expected to spend most of their time calling on businesses and learning their needs.
Bank of America began its small business banker initiative in Los Angeles in October 2010 and has hired more than 130 small-business bankers in Florida. The plan is to hire two bankers in Gainesville — one for the Millhopper branch and another for the University Avenue area.
Gardner said that since Bank of America began rolling out this initiative, it has seen a roughly 39 percent increase in loan volume.
"One of the things we do see with a lot of small businesses, with the economy and pullback in revenue, I would say the credit demand and loan demand is not as high as one would expect," he said.
He said the challenges facing small businesses do not always involve credit; sometimes they need help managing collections from customers and cash on hand.
"We have always had a full suite of business products available," Gardner said. "For small businesses, in that segment, we just didn't have dedicated local expertise that was taking that knowledge and information and expertise directly to the customer."
Local bankers welcome the competition, but say their banks' decisions are made locally, whereas decisions by Bank of America generally are made in a small business lending department at headquarters in Charlotte, N.C.
Still, they think Bank of America's push in Ocala and Gainesville is a good sign.
"It's interesting they are putting on people for business banking," said Hugh Dailey, president and chief executive officer of Community Bank & Trust of Florida. "That's optimistic, I guess."
Tom Ingram, chief executive officer of Gateway Bank of Central Florida, agreed.
"It's always a nice reflection of our market if a large bank like that has come in to be committed like that," Ingram said. "We still feel our model works a lot better for small and medium-size businesses than the larger banks' model. The local decision making is, obviously, a key component of what we do."
George Durhan, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A.'s community president for Marion County, also agreed, and said small business is his bank's core.
"We are dealing with the corporations headquartered here in Alachua and Marion counties," Durhan said. "We are operating in a very decentralized model, so the decision making is at the local level. What that allows us to do is, we can feel the pulse of Marion County and say, 'We are not Brevard County. We are not Dade County. We are not Duval County.' We are able to decide locally what's best for our customer."
Durhan said he is not criticizing the super-regional bank model but thinks those banks lack the agility that small banks like his have. He welcomes the competition.
"Any time there are options for the customer, it's going to be good for the customer," Durhan said. "Our objective has always been to win the business with customer service."
Ingram agrees with Gardner's opinion that small businesses will bring the country out of the recession. "That's the heart and soul of America, really," he said.
"It (Bank of America's move) will make us work harder," Ingram added. "More competition makes us more competitive and aggressive because we want to protect our customers and do the best for small to medium-size businesses."
Dailey said he has seen signs of the economy turning. "We're actually seeing some uptick in demand," Dailey said.
Community Bank & Trust of Florida will open a branch Wednesday at Spruce Creek — the first it has opened in the county in five to six years.
Dailey said loans have been up in the past four to five months, albeit "just a little."
"It's better than it was the first six months of the year," said Dailey, who sits on the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's Jacksonville branch board of directors. "The first six months of the year there was no demand."
He said his bank is seeing good residential demand thanks to low interest rates, but a lot of that demand is for refinancing rather than new loans. He said the demand for automobile loans — mostly new car loans with zero financing — has been up some months and down others.
"That's an indication we are still bouncing off the bottom," Dailey said.
He said there is plenty of money to lend, but the demand has not been there. He believes businesses are waiting to see what the corporate tax rate will be for 2013.
He said he is optimistic for the last quarter and is hoping for some business expansion.
And he hopes Bank of America is right. "As long as they bring a lot of loan demand, that's great," Dailey said. "We can fend for ourselves."
Ingram and Durhan wish Bank of America well.
"I wish them luck, but not too much luck," Ingram said with a chuckle.

text: Noctua NH-C14 CPU Cooler Review Eric Garay July 27, 2011 Reviews 8 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 8 Google+ 0 Pin It Share 0 Reddit 0 Email -- 8 Flares × Prev2 of 2NextUse your ← → (arrow) keys to browse Test System and Installation We've used the following system several times in previous tests which has proven to be a hot beast in overclocked situations. If any CPU cooler can keep the 6-core Intel Core i7-980X cool, it'll cool anything currently available. Here's what we used to build it: Processor: Intel Core i7-980XE Gulftown (6-Core) Motherboard: ASUS Rampage III X58 Black Edition (ROG) Memory: Patriot Memory Division 2 6GB 2000MHz DDR3 Graphics: ZOTAC NVIDIA Geforce GTX 580 1546MB Power Supply: Antec CP-850 Watt Storage: Seagate 250GB "Cooking Drive" (For thermal tests) CPU Coolers Used: Thermaltake OCK, Noctua NH-D14, Zalman CNPS10X Extreme, Megahalems (Rev.B), Thermalright Venomous X, and Noctua NH-C14 (as tested) Computer Case: DangerDen Torture Rack (No extra cooling fans) The NH-C14 has a mounting system like the NH-D14. Noctua's SecureFirm2 is arguably one of the most secure mounting methods given the weight of these coolers. Noctua includes everything needed right down to the Philips screwdriver for tightening the retention screws. It is even specially designed to make the task very easy. Adding to the plus side, it comes with a well illustrated manual which should provide seasoned vets and beginners with all the info they need for a successful installation. We found it very easy to configure the fans so that air blows up and out the top if you have side mounted radiators or have other hardware that can benefit from a redirection of the air. And, the bottom fan can be omitted if you have very tall memory heat sinks. The top fan can be omitted as well if you happen to have limited case depth. This is a truly versatile cooler. Test Method We'll be using OCCT which is an artificial program good for fully loading all the CPU cores. First, we allowed the cooler to "burn in" the day before which settles the Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste which is the same paste used on all our previous tests. The reason is that there's not enough Noctua NH-N1 thermal paste to go around for repeated testing. Stock and overclocked CPU frequencies were selected to push the cooler's thermal properties. Temps were recorded after idling for 2 hours. Temps were then recorded with the CPU at full load. The cooler was tested with both fans installed at full speed and at low fan speeds. In spite of a rather dry, 21C room, the NH-C14 easily manages the temperatures, and very efficiently. The 140mm fans were also quiet and produced a very faint, yet inoffensive hum at full speed. In fact, the chances are very high that your video card will be louder. Of course, there is just no way anything we have in the labs is better than its big brother the NH-D14. But for a horizontal cooler, the NH-C14 does very well. Extra Motherboard Cooling Benefit Since the cooler's fans face can be oriented to face downward, cool air will naturally hit the motherboard and surrounding components in close proximity. Just how many components will depend on your particular case. Since, the DangerDen Torture Rack has two levels, the cool air hit just the motherboard. Here are the results. As far as temps go, everyone knows that INTEL X58 motherboards can get pretty darn hot at full load. The NH-C14 dropped the surrounding sensor temps at both low and high speeds. The tower coolers just don't quite get the air where needed. That's a very noticeable drop in temps and means it could help stabilize a potential overclocking load. If nothing else, it'll bring down those operating temps which means that connected components won't suffer from heat transfer either. Final Thoughts Standard horizontal CPU coolers aren't always the most efficient. Especially if it's a stock retail AMD or Intel cooler: they are mainly built to do the job as cheap as possible. They're typically too small and sit too close to the board to actually do anything other than cool the CPU. Poorly one might add. While the possibilities of this feature were once taken for granted, designs like the Noctua NH-C14 completely correct any short comings. As hexa-core and higher processors threaten to heat things up inside your case, I predict the NH-C14's design will be sought after by the millions of future PC owners who want to keep their original computer case while helping cool more than just the CPU. Compared to the competition, our testing places the NH-C14 performance near the NH-D14, and overall better than its smaller NH-D12 sibling. That means that it's extremely similar to the Thermalright Venomous X and Megahalems Rev.B coolers which are very popular among enthusiasts. But, it's the horizontal design adding an added additional cooling benefits to the motherboard's components. The high quality also makes the NH-C14 very much their equals. At $89.99 USD, the Noctua NH-C14 may not seem like the most affordable CPU cooler. However, it's priced very similar to the competition which sometimes do not come with dual fans like the Venomous X. Or fans at all. The cooler's high quality materials, lifetime socket support, and performance are what your hard earned money buy. This is easily the best horizontal CPU cooler in North America if not the world and easily earns our highest honor: Futurelooks' Editors' Choice Award. Pros Horizontal CPU design cools other components Shortest high performance CPU cooler on the market Great cooling performance High quality construction and finish One of the best mounting solutions we've seen Comes with two 140mm 1200 RPM fans and Low-Noise adapters Lifetime socket support for new CPUs Cons Has a similar foot print to its monstrous NH-D14 brother The beige and brown color scheme may not appeal to all tastes Priced at the top of the range for CPU coolers Overall Rating: 9.0 / 10.0 Help Us Improve Our Reviews By Leaving a Comment!

Tunbridge Wells Forum
Tunbridge Wells Forum
|Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England, United Kingdom
|Live music, Arts
|1993 (as a music venue)
The Forum is an independent music venue in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent with a standing capacity of 250.
The Forum is located on Tunbridge Wells Common, close to the junction of the A26 London Road and Frant Road, opposite the King Charles the Martyr church and The Pantiles. It is approximately 5 minutes walk from Tunbridge Wells station.
The Forum was the brainchild of 4 friends; Michael Oyarzabal, Peter Hoare, Jason Dormon, and Mark Davyd, two of whom had previously been involved with the Rumble Club,[1] an irregular music event that took place in a variety of locations in Tunbridge Wells during the period 1988 to 1992 – bringing bands such as The Boo Radleys, Lush and Green Day to the area. It was the success of The Rumble Club that prompted them to seek a permanent location for their own venue.
The Forum opened as a new music venue in January 1993 in a building on Tunbridge Wells Common which was previously used as a public toilet and a brass rubbing centre. It has since hosted a number of acts who have gone on to achieve significant commercial success.
In 2007, The Forum produced a parody of the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, showing a selection of the better known acts that had played at the venue.[2]
In 2010, The Forum and one of its founders Jason Dormon were featured in The Independent's "Happy List", profiling people who make Britain a better place to live.[3]
In 2012, the NME voted the venue as Britain's Best Small Venue.[4]
Notable acts who have appeared at The Forum[edit]
Many acts have appeared at The Forum, towards the beginning of careers that saw them go onto significant commercial success. These have included Adele,[5] Biffy Clyro,[6] Coldplay,[7] Ellie Goulding,[8] Green Day,[9] The Libertines,[10] Mumford & Sons,[5] Muse,[11] Oasis,[12] Royal Blood,[13]The Vaccines,[14] We Are Scientists[15] and White Lies.[16]
In addition, The Forum has been used as a venue for more established acts who are playing warmup or smaller shows. These have included Ash,[17] The Divine Comedy,[18] Enter Shikari,[19] Foals,[20] Frank Turner,[21] Joeyfat,[22] Keane and Wheatus[23]

CONYERS -- The Salem Gate Extension and Interstate 20 overpass project is looking for a new home.
Tuesday, the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners approved a contract to renew a design agreement for the Salem Gate Extension and I-20 overpass.
"What this will do is facilitate us looking at a different location for the bridge," said Miguel Valentin, transportation director, at the BOC work session Nov. 15.
The overpass will connect Iris Drive to Old Covington Highway, according to the original 2005 contract.
The project dates back to the mid-'90s, according to Valentin.
"The need has been there much longer than that," he said. "At one point, there were eight or nine crossings over I-20 -- we're now down to four."
The current contract for an I-20 overpass has been in development since 2005. The overpass will help ease traffic and provide Rockdale residents easier access to the shopping areas near Ga. Highway 138. However, recent developments near Ga. Highway 138 have made it a less viable option for the overpass, according to Valentin.
"Initially, (the overpass) was going to be located where the Belk store is (on the north side of I-20)," he said. "They've looked at other locations in the past. We are now looking at a location that places it further east."
The contract would allow Mulkey Engineers and Associates Inc. to determine the feasibility of a new bridge location somewhere between Ga. Highway 138 and Ga. Highway 162. The contract also provides for some preliminary design and environmental testing.
"This would look at other locations that do not have as much development," Valentin said.
He said this overpass is aimed at trying to allow easier access between shopping areas on the north side of the county and the south side of the county.
"The traffic that we are trying to provide the service for has problems accessing (the shopping area)," Valentin said. "Providing that alternative access would make it much easier."

Korthia Mitchell talked about her book, Living with Lynching: African American Lynching Plays, Performance, and Citizenship, 1890-1930, in which she discusses the way lynching was depicted in plays and other performances in African-American communities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She argued that these public depictions of lynching helped African-American families understand and survive through that brutal period in American history.

Jockey Launches New Marketing Campaign for the Jockey Collection
featuring Rachel Zoe's "Must-Haves"
New campaign focuses on brand's iconic, yet evolving image and continued partnership
with stylist and fashion icon, Rachel Zoe
KENOSHA, Wis. (October 16, 2013) – Jockey International, Inc. today announced the launch of their new marketing campaign, "Redefining Comfort," for the Jockey collection as preferred by Rachel Zoe. The new campaign conveys confidence and a more glamorous side of Jockey, and aims to challenge the perception that comfort and fashion can't co-exist. The new campaign also builds on the brand's partnership with 2013 "Stylist of the Year" and fashion icon, Rachel Zoe. Jockey and Zoe started working together in July 2012.
The campaign's creative elements were conceptualized with the modern woman in mind. She is someone who's confident, happy, on-the-go and always chic. Evoking the modern woman, the campaign imagery focuses on the personal and intimate moments she goes through while getting dressed – whether it's for work or an evening out. Headlines such as "Comfort Just Got Chic," "Comfort Just Got Glam," "Comfort Just Got Sleek" and "Comfort Just Got Flirty" show that it's time to give comfort a makeover, starting with the foundation of your look.
"This new marketing campaign shows the evolution of Jockey in its collaboration with Rachel Zoe. It's a new, edgier side of Jockey, marrying the comfort and quality we are known and loved for, with the undeniable style synonymous with Rachel," says Dustin Cohn, chief marketing officer at Jockey. "Rachel is someone women look to as the authority on style and is therefore the ideal ambassador to promote the campaign's message: underwear can have it all."
For over 100 years Jockey has been synonymous with quality and comfort, and the brand's partnership with Zoe has allowed Jockey to introduce its modern collection to a new, younger, fashion-conscious consumer. Leveraging Zoe's enviable style and sophistication with Jockey's trusted expertise, the new Jockey illustrates that comfortable, solution-based underwear can be chic, fun and even a little edgy.

The Jockey collection's marketing campaign featuring Rachel Zoe will debut in mid-October in print and digital advertising platforms, as well as through Jockey's social media, public relations and consumer activations.

MIAMI (AP) - Versatile offensive lineman Nate Garner has re-signed with the Miami Dolphins.
The signing announced Tuesday comes barely 24 hours after tackle Jake Long, the overall No. 1 draft pick in 2008, left a hole in the line by signing with the St. Louis Rams. Garner started four games last year.
The 6-foot-7, 325-pound Garner is entering his sixth NFL season. He has played at all five positions on the line, with five starts at left guard, four at right tackle and four at right guard.
Garner originally was a seventh-round draft choice of the New York Jets in 2008.

The electronics, including the speedometer, come and go. Sometimes they are off for a day or on for a day. Usually they stay off for a week then maybe on for a day, then back off. This happens while driving, just suddenly go off or come on. Also auto door locks do not kick in when it is off, but they will lock when electronics come back on.

Customer Question
In July 09 I was give the drug Macrobid (
) for a bactrial infrection. Two days after taking the drug I got an allergic reaction to this med. (Severe chills, fever, vomiting,dirrhea, severe stiffness of the joints with major pain, and the inability to walk or get out of bed.
I am now suffering with severe hand, knee and feet problems since this happened. I feel as if my knees have a major sports injury where the knee is giving out at times. It has gotten to where I am unable to sleep at night because of the pain, sit for a certain length of time and the inability to stand for lengths of time.
I would appreciate any help you might give me to the help in getting a cure or the possible relief in this allergic reaction to this drug that was given me. This has been going on since July and no matter who I talk to they say it will go away...but it hasn't but is getting worse.

My OBGYN gave me the medication, since then I have seen my primary which is a Internal Med and also he college which is the same which ordered the Meloxicam. They just tell me that it is my age and they give no solution to the problem. I have asked for any kind of help from them and I get nothing in return. So I suffer and this have been too long.
Dr. D. Love
replied 6 years ago.
The hand, knee, and feet problems would be very unusual to be an allergy to the Macrobid. An allergic reaction will resolve relatively quickly after the offending substance has been stopped. There are other side effects from drugs besides allergic reactions, but Macrobid has not been reported to cause these symptoms as a side effect. There are, of course, many other causes of joint problems and osteoarthritis, the wear and tear arthritis that occurs in many person as they age, is the most common. It sounds like this is what your doctor thinks is the problem. An anti-inflammatory medicine, such as meloxicam, is an appropriate first course of treatment. If it persists, it may be appropriate to ask for a referral to a rheumatologist, a medical specialist that deals with various forms of arthritis and inflammatory conditions.
Ask Your Own Medical Question

this problem did not exsist until July, before that I didn't have any problem what so ever with my body little lone my joints. I am a very active person and have been up until that point of taking the medication and the reviews of the side effects of the nitrofuruntoin medication is hand and knee problems that have a irration and swelling, plus the other factors, but if not treated properly can get worse.....so as far as my doctors they are both incompetent in all phases of helping. They both treat me as if I was 80 and not 65 which I have never been sick until this time.

Most people do halochrome toning on prints, but you can use it on a traditionally-developed (i.e. not pyro, not chromogenic) b&w neg or positive too. I did it, and I wish I could show you something, but I am certain that it really won't scan well.
Halochrome, if you buy it, is kinda pricey. You wind up using a lot of it just trying to get a few toned prints. For negs it is much less expensive- you can treat film with very small volumes.
Incidentally, I understand that there is a toning book with the halochrome formula in it, which I haven't seen but have read about. I think it is "The Photographer's Toning Book" by Tim Rudman. Google and see. Anyway I am thinking that you could take the halochrome recipe and adapt it to whatever you want. I have had some stray thoughts on this and just haven't had time to follow through.

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
Who's killing Uganda's leading Muslim clerics?
12 Apr 2013 09:55 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, North Korea, South Korea
John Kerry, the US secretary of state, has arrived in South Korea as tension with its northern neighbour continues.Kerry's three-day visit, which began on Friday, will also take him to China and Tokyo.
The trip comes as Washington tries to press China to deliver a "tough" message to North Korea to rein in its nuclear programme and belligerent rhetoric, a US official said."We really want them to ... carry some tough messages to Pyongyang" on denuclearisation, the official toldreporters travelling with Kerry.
Kerry also wanted to convey an unambiguous message in Seoul and Tokyo that "we are prepared and that alliance matters [and] that we will defend them," the official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity, added.
The trip is Kerry's first to the region since taking office on February 1 and he hopes to persuade China to use its economic and diplomatic leverage to try to temper North Korea's behaviour.
Al Jazeera's Marga Ortigas, reporting from Seoul, said Kerry would meet South Korea's foreign minister and discuss the tensions.
Kerry will also be visiting US troops, "re-affriming the ties" between the two countries, said our correspondent.
She said both the US and South Korea were conducting joint military drills which will end at the end of April.
"It's precisely because these joint military exercises continued that North Korea amped up its angry rhetoric. They [North Koreans] have been saying that this is just a ruse to try to plan an invasion of North Korea," she said.
North Korea carried out its third nuclear test in February, prompting a fresh UN Security Council sanctions resolution against the impoverished state led by Kim Jong-un, the 30-year-old grandson of its founder.Earlier, Barack Obama, the US president, on Thursday called on North Korea to end its "belligerent approach".Obama's comments came as the Pentagon backed away from an intelligence report which suggested North Korea might have developed nuclear weapons which could be fit onto a ballistic missile.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said "it would be inaccurate to suggest that the North Korean regime has fully tested, developed, or demonstrated the kinds of nuclear capabilities referenced in" the intelligence report.
The statement came after a lawmaker read out the findings of a Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) report at a congressional hearing earlier on Thursday that appeared to signal a shift in Washington's view of North Korea's nuclear programme.
The DIA assessment said US analysts had "moderate confidence the North currently has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles" but that the reliability of the weapons was "low".
The intelligence report marked the first time the US government had suggested North Korea may have succeeded in a years-long quest to miniaturise a nuclear device so that it could be placed on a missile.
'Never demonstrated'
Defence secretary Chuck Hagel and General Martin Dempsey, the US military's top officer, appeared caught off-guard when the report's findings were disclosed at a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee.
Live Box 201345151344561226
After the hearing, administration officials scrambled to explain what appeared to be a change in the government's portrayal of the North Korean threat.
A senior US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the AFP news agency that the administration had not changed its evaluation that Pyongyang was still not at a point where it could deliver a nuclear warhead on a ballistic missile.
"The North Koreans have never demonstrated this capability and we don't believe they are able to now," the official said.
The confusion over the report came against the backdrop of mounting tensions on the Korean peninsula, with Pyongyang issuing bellicose threats and preparing to possibly launch medium-range missiles.
The Pentagon, which has bolstered missile defences around the Korean peninsula, said it was closely watching North Korea amid speculation the regime would fire conventional missiles in the run-up to national celebrations on April 15th.
"The United States continues to closely monitor the North Korean nuclear program and calls upon North Korea to honor its international obligations," Little said.
'Belligerent approach'
Obama addressed the tensions after a meeting with Ban Ki-moon, the UN chief, in the Oval Office. He said "nobody wants to see a conflict" with the North, but that the United States was ready to take necessary measures to defend itself.
"We both agree that now is the time for North Korea to end the kind of belligerent approach that they've been taking," Obama said.
"It's important for North Korea, like every other country in the world, to observe basic rules and norms."
While the US president emphasised that Washington would "continue to try to work to resolve some of those issues diplomatically," he made it clear that the United States would be ready to face any eventuality and defend its allies.
"The United States will take all necessary steps to protect its people and meet our obligations under our alliances in the region," Obama said.
Ban, who is from South Korea, said he was "deeply concerned... by the continuing tensions on the Korean peninsula" and hailed what he called Washington's "measured response" to the litany of threats issued by Pyongyang.
"We hope that border countries including China, who may have influence on North Korea, can exercise their leadership and influence so that this situation will be resolved peacefully," the UN chief said.
Earlier Thursday, G8 foreign ministers, including Kerry, strongly condemned Pyongyang over its nuclear program, warning it would face further sanctions in the event of a missile launch.

This module extends the Webform module and allows you to display different confirmation messages depending on the values entered. You can set up multiple conditionals and the first conditional rule that matches the values entered will be used. For example it's possible to say if
field A is X display one confirmation message, but if
field A is Y display a different message.
Version 7.x-2.x-dev provides multiple conditional support so you are able to define a message for if
field A is X AND field B is Y.
This project has recently been picked up by a new maintainer, since the project was abandoned and did not function correctly I am unable to support legacy versions 7.x-1.x. Please also be aware that 7.x-2.x-dev uses a different database schema and so 7.x-1.x will need to be uninstalled before upgrading, at least until an update hook is implemented.
7.x-1.x development supported by Annertech.
