San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Michal Handzus netted the deciding goal in the
shootout as the San Jose Sharks remained unbeaten with a 3-2 victory over the
Edmonton Oilers at HP Pavilion.
After Handzus opened the shootout by beating Devan Dubnyk with a wrister into
the top-left corner, both Sam Gagner and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins shot wide on
their attempts for Edmonton.
Dan Boyle then skated down the ice for a chance to extend San Jose's
franchise-best start to a season to 7-0-0, and converted with a wrister inside
the left post.
Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski scored in regulation for the Sharks, while
Antti Niemi stopped 26 shots.
Gagner and Taylor Hall lit the lamp for Edmonton, which had its two-game win
streak snapped.
Dubnyk made 36 saves in defeat.

Hi all,
Any idea how I can force the display name for a BES user to update without deleting the user and adding it back. The user's display name was update after the BES activation. The changes show up in the GAL and I can see those changes when I search the GAL from the BlackBerry Server and BlackBerry Manager Outlook profiles on the Windows Server running BES. I have restarted all BES services but still no change.

Folx is an essential 2 in 1 download tool. It is easy-to-use, not overloaded with unnecessary features and at the same time it has everything you may need for fast and convenient downloading. All you need to do to download something is click the link in an Internet browser and Folx will start downloading for you.

It's the must have app for Mac users. Thanks for the free version.
I used this successfully for about a week but the downloads were slow, so I read about how to improve the speeds. I'm in an Intel iMac using Apple Airport Extreme, and I went in and tried to open a window, and after doing so all Flox Downloads ceased to download anything but still and Download attempted in Firefox is assigned to Flox to download and nothing happens.
Very frustrating, I spent about two weeks trying to read everything I could to solve that fail# but just confused myself even more. I've given up on Flox.
This app is useful and works great. I use its free version both as torrent client and Internet downloader.
Appart from that this seems to be a great app and managed 2 downloads that failed (due to timeouts) in Camino and Safari.
Just tested Folx a little bit and I have to say, that it looks quite promissing and controleable but there are 2 things
- I liked the idea of letting my download manager also do my torrents but testing it against Transmission (with the same torrent files) showed that it is significantly slower (in short, middle and long terms). So sadly this is not an option for now.
- This seems to be an all-or-nothing application when it comes to capturing download links. You either activate the plugin and have a hard time just using the browser download manager (for example for all the small files where I don't want to go through the hassle of the import dialogue). Or you don't activate it and have to copy-paste the links to folks (for these big files I wouldn't want to do in the browser). For now I go with the second way but what I would like to see is a "Download With Folx" item in the contextual menue of my browser, so I can choose the links I want to download with Folx more quickly.
You can use option Show "New task window" when adding new download to disable window opening, or you can disable the plugin using menu Dock Icon -> Disable Folx Plugin. Hope it helps.
Folx overriding Safari's download window without offering any sort of option to deactivate this intrusive behavior is unacceptable. I got tired of chasing after its files to remove them. Don't understand either why it keeps asking for my admin password when opening it. I keep having the mental image that Folx is acting like a spoiled child, making strange demands and lacking tact and respect towards the end user.
It's too bad - there's definitely an opportunity for a powerful download manager on Mac.
Thank you to Ketidot - This helped me out. I uninstalled folx by drag-and-drop-to-trash (where is the uninstaller... is there one?). I was having a problem with Fetch FTP crashing and removing the files you listed fixed it.
Thank You!
it has a very long way to go
AWFUL APP. Scatters crap all over your system and even after the app is removed bits linger in your Input Managers and Preference and Internet Plugins folders. Beware.

This Solitaire will addict you—to strategy!All the cards are laid out—then the Aces are removed. You must rearrange all the cards so they line up nice and orderly, but only by moving one card at a time using the blank spaces to your strategic advantage! It's a game you'll want to try "just one more time" to improve your score before you put it down!
1. The goal of the game is to move the cards so they line up in order according to both number and suit, from 2 to King. When the game begins, four blank positions are created. Move cards into these positions to shuffle them around to eventually line up all the cards.
2. A card can only be placed if it falls in order according to the card to the left of the blank spot. For this reason, nothing can be placed to the right of a King. When you are out of moves, use one of your three reshuffles. Cards that are in the right order will not be reshuffled, so your progress will not be lost. In the example on right, a Jack of Clubs is the only card that can be placed there.
3. A card can be moved if it has a thin blue line around it. Look carefully for these indicators as they'll save you a lot of time looking for cards to move.
· Look for cards that can be moved on the right side of the board, and move them first. Work from the right side of the board and move left.
· Move quickly! There's a time limit for the game and it's more important to move cards (using the tip above) than to stop for too long to plan.
· Only use a reshuffle when the game tells you there are no more moves left.

Running for Boston — and America
(Page 3 of 3)
We also understand, though, that we cannot cower in fear. We must not –– cannot –– lock ourselves at home, hoping the terrorists will simply go away.
We must mourn the dead. We must aid the wounded. And we must pick ourselves up and carry on. The terrorists, who, at the heart of it, are seeking to steal the freedoms that we hold dear, attempt to instill fear in us to subjugate us, to bend us to their will. We cannot allow that to happen.
And that, in part, was why I ran the 5K Robbie's Run in my hometown of Merrick last Sunday. And that's why I will keep running races, big and small.
For Boston. For America.

Scott - do you really count running in a 5K in Merrick as an act of bravery and defiance against terrorism? Come back to earth. Think about all of the people who for 20 years or more have been commuting every day on the LIRR through Penn Station and then on the subway to work in offices in the Empire State Building, the Federal Building and Wall Street. That isn't heroic either, but it does take fortitude.

ATLANTA -- What price freedom -- from the Georgia 400 toll?
Too high, for now, says the state.
Easily affordable, says a toll critic.
One day after activists announced a new, grassroots campaign aimed at taking down the toll booths that straddle GA 400 in Buckhead, the State Road and Tollway Authority countered with some hard numbers to show how much the state is depending on that 50-cent toll to pay for several improvement projects along the highway.
SRTA said Tuesday night that it currently owes $94 million, and has $68 million on hand.
Most of that $94 million is for the new projects that are underway; $34 million of it is the remaining principal and interest on bonds issued for the biggest of those projects, the completion of the GA 400/Interstate 85 interchange.
So SRTA is counting on the toll staying in place to make up that $26 million difference between $94 million and $68 million.
The spokesman for Governor Nathan Deal, Brian Robinson, told 11Alive's Duffie Dixon on Tuesday that the toll booths probably can't come down until 2017, at the earliest.
"We want to do it as soon as we can. We understand the frustration," he said. "We have been told that we can't pay off the bonds early. But the governor wants to make sure that as soon as we have the money in hand, to pay off the bonds, that the toll gates come down."
Robinson made it clear that it was the previous administration, just before Deal took office, that extended the toll past its original expiration date and added the projects to be funded by the toll. Deal opposed all of that, Robinson said, but could not, and cannot now, cancel contracts, committments and bond issues made by his predecessors.
Activists insist that their accounting shows a different picture of SRTA's current finances:
"They have actually surplus funds," Garland Favorito told 11Alive's Jon Shirek on Monday. "They have a lot of surplus funds right now that can be used to pay off the bond and stop the toll."
On Tuesday, after Favorito took a look at SRTA's numbers, he pointed out that about one-third of the $94 million the state owes is for 11 big projects along GA 400 outside the Perimeter, to widen lanes and improve interchanges. Those projects cost more than $30 million, in all, and, he said, are not all so far along that they couldn't be stopped, now -- one way, he said, that the state could rearrange its finances to keep a 20-year-old promise to take down the tolls, after all.
Here are the numbers, in an e-mail that Malika Reed Wilkins of SRTA sent to 11Alive News Tuesday night:
As of June 1, 2012, we have approximately $94 million in outstanding obligations and commitments which are offset by $68.4 million in committed but unexpended funds.
The difference in these commitments along with other operational and maintenance expenses will be funded from tolls. Here is the breakdown:
$94 Million (committed):
· $33.7 million - remaining principal and interest for GA 400 Toll Revenue Bond
· $29.4 million - I-85/GA400 Connector Ramps and Merge Modifications
· $30.9 million - GA 400 Corridor Projects [outside the Perimeter].
$68.4 Million (committed but unexpended):
· $33.5 million - unexpended bond proceeds
· $34.9 million - in toll reserve account
Therefore, ending the tolls today, would not allow for our present obligations to be met and much-needed corridor benefits to be realized.
Here is Garland Favorito's perspective on those numbers, which he e-mailed to 11Alive News Tuesday night:
"The key take away point is that these numbers support our claims. If you apply the $33.5 million in unexpended bond proceeds and the $34.9 million in the toll reserve account to the $33.7 million remaining principal and interest and the $29.4 million I-85/GA 400 Ramp project, you have $68 million in assets and $63 million in liabilities for a net surplus of $5 million..."
Also, Favorito believes that SRTA should not have undertaken the $30.9 million in projects outside the Perimeter because, he said, those projects "violate the principals of the agreements with the City of Atlanta and Fulton County" not to spend toll money outside the Perimeter, since the toll has always been collected in the City of Atlanta, and was originally collected to pay for the construction and maintenance of GA 400 in Fulton County and Atlanta inside the Perimeter.
"Those projects should be funded by normal means since they have nothing to do with the segment of GA 400 inside the Perimeter for which the toll booth was constructed."
Favorito, who has started an online petition drive to try to bring pressure on the state to end the toll, has other ideas for budgeting the toll out of existence immediately:
· The 17th St property that should have never been purchased with toll money could be sold for about $10 million to offset a third of the costs of the corridor projects
· The toll booth is taking in about $20 million a year and would net another $10 million by the end of this year
· If you add in the current $5 million excess surplus I mentioned, you have the $30 million needed for the projects by the end of this year
So why do we have to extend the toll until 2017 when we can pay for the project by the end of the year?
Malika Reed Wilkins said in her e-mail that SRTA's use of toll money outside the Perimeter is proper and legal, and SRTA went to the public with its plans to use toll money outside the Perimeter:
SRTA held a 30-day public comment period for the GA 400 Improvement Projects as well as a series of public information open houses. SRTA's policies expressly contemplated the use of toll revenues for transportation uses that benefit the Georgia 400 corridor. The GA 400 Corridor refers to the area within the Perimeter as well as the full length of State Route 400 and the corresponding interchanges, overpasses that directly impact GA 400 and parallel routes that would directly impact mobility on GA 400.
The Public Information Open Houses were held throughout the GA 400 Corridor in order to provide information to citizens about the projects and answer their questions. Those dates were:
Dec. 7, 2010 Forsyth County Commission
Dec. 8, 2010 Pinecrest Academy (SR 141)
Dec. 20, 2010 Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church
Jan. 5, 2011 North Fulton Chamber of Commerce
Jan. 6, 2011 Crowne Plaza at Ravinia

Kentucky Derby field nearly set two weeks out
Two weeks out from the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby, and we have arrived at a solid list of Derby Points qualifiers.
Two more "Wild Card" Derby Preps remain, but they likely won't change much in terms of the top 20 horses that will fill the massive Derby gate at Churchill Downs.
Here at U-T San Diego sports, our esteemed crew of pollsters has narrowed the Derby list down to a Top 10. Next week, each pollster will cast his final vote and then reach into his bag of handicapping tricks, Derby experience and overall horse sense to pick his top four Derby horses. He'll choose one winner to top his own Superfecta and then get a bonus pick, one long shot horse that may be worth a wager.
It has been an interesting ride since we started this poll 10 weeks ago.
Gone are the injured contenders such as Violence (30 points), Shanghai Bobby (24), Flashback (70), Hear The Ghost (50), I've Struck A Nerve (51), Uncaptured (30), Merit Man, Departing and West Hills Giant (all with 20 points when taken off the Derby Trail with injuries). Violence has been retired from racing. Such are the rigors of the Kentucky Derby Trail for 3-year-old racehorses.
Two more minor Derby prep races remain, the "Wild Card" events worth 20 points to the winner. The Coolmore Lexington Stakes is up first on Saturday.
The final Derby prep will be Churchill Downs' opening-night Derby Trial on April 27. It's also worth just 20 Derby Points to the winner.
It will take at least 20 points to get a spot in 20-horse Kentucky Derby starting gate. Ties among the horses on the "bubble" will be broken by unrestricted graded stakes earnings.
At the start of our poll, Todd Pletcher was loaded with potential Derby shooters. He still is, and despite the losses of top colts, Violence and Shanghai Bobby, Pletcher still has Derby-favorite Verrazano (Wood Memorial winner and undefeated in four races this year), Overanalyze (Arkansas Derby winner), Revolutionary (winner of Louisiana Derby), Palace Malice (second by a neck in Blue Grass Stakes) and possibly Charming Kitten in the Kentucky Derby.
Pletcher is the first to saddle winners in the Wood Memorial, Louisiana Derby and Arkansas Derby in the same year. He's also the first trainer to win the Wood and Arkansas Derby in the same season.
Pletcher is loaded for the Kentucky Oaks, too. He'll saddle Dreaming Of Julia (winner of Gulfstream Oaks), Unlimited Budget (winner of Fairgrounds Oaks), Silsita, who won the Bourbonette Oaks and Gazelle, runnerup in the Princess of Sylmar.
Pletcher contends that the Kentucky Derby is the hardest race to win in racing, and he would know since he's only managed one win in the big race.
D. Wayne Lukas has two qualifiers in Oxbow and Will Take Charge.
As for the West Coast, trainer Bob Baffert's list of Derby hopefuls has been reduced to Govenor Charlie, owned by Mike Pegram, and trainer Doug O'Neill will try and repeat as Derby Champion with Goldencents, owned by W.C. Racing (Glen Sorgenstein and Josh Kaplan), Dave Kenney and RAP Racing (Louisville coach Rick Pitino).
In the Kentucky Oaks, Richard Mandella's Beholder will carry the West Coast flag.
Derby Watch Week 10
1 Verrazano (by More Than Ready), 4 starts, 4-0-0, Derby Points – 150, $861,300 in earnings.
Last race: 1st, April 6, Wood Memorial, Aqueduct.
J/T/O: John Velazquez/Todd Pletcher/Let's Go Stable (Bryan Sullivan and Kevin Scatuorchio) and the Coolmore Team of Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith and Susan Magnier.
2 Orb (by Malibu Moon), seven starts, 4-0-1, Derby Points – 150, $921,050.

I hope this is the right place to ask this question, I am very new to zimbra.
I successfully installed ZCS OpenSource edition on Ubuntu, and had success with setting up and creating some users. So with our test, sending and receiving emails are working, and no problems with it.
However, I was recently handed an LDIF file and asked to import it into Zimbra.
I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
I tried the procedure mentioned in this blog:
Exporting and Importing Zimbra LDAP Data » Zimbra :: Blog
and did not have any success with it (The post might be very old).
From the Administation console, I saw the "Bulk Provision" button but it requires a csv file to import. So I ended up trying to convert ldif into csv with the procedure mentioned here:
Frederik Orellanas blog Blog Archive Zimbra, ldif and backup
but when I try to upload the csv ,I get this following error:
"Server error occured
Message : system failure: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException: 1
Error Code: service.Failure Method: GetBulkProvisionAccountsRequest
My ldif looks like this:

There are actual entries up above instead of the dots, I just removed them to post in here.
Can somebody direct me to an how-to for uploading an LDIF file into ZCS? or can somebody give me some pointers where to look on how to do this?
Please let me know if you need more information.....
I really appreciated it,

Ned Yost media session: All about pitching
In today's pregame interview with manager Ned Yost, questions focused on the pitching staff. The first hurler to be discussed was Bryan Bullington. Having just earned his first Major League win after 8.0 innings of shutout work against the Yankees on Sunday, the media asked if the righty would see another start. Yost replied by saying he doesn't know what the future holds, it could all depend on how Brian Bannister looks after throwing his next side, which was scheduled for today. Yost added that the eventual return of Luke Hochevar will force the coaches to make even more decisions about the pitching rotation. When asked how close Hochevar is to being ready, Yost said he is pretty close, as is reliever Robinson Tejeda.
Yost also provided his thoughts on pitchers who seem to have success in their first several starts in the Majors, saying most of the success is due to luck and the fact that teams have never seen the pitchers before. However, he was also quick to note that this was not the case for Bullington, who had also thrown very well in his first start this year against the Angels as well.

Charity is the jewel in her crown
Do not be misled by the designer jacket. Or the lovely manners. Or the jewelry, which is both lovely and designed by the chic woman who is wearing it. While Reena Horowitz is clearly a lady, she is also a philanthropic Terminator. What Reena wants, Reena gets. Lucky for us that what she wants is whatever benefits everybody else.
"I think she is a really good hustler, and those are her words," said Mary Ostrander, business development director for the American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" awareness campaign, whose latest benefit raised $400,000 (nearly double last year's total) under the co-chairmanship of Horowitz and Lori DeMaria. "She is very tenacious, and she won't let anyone say, 'No.' Once she feels passionate about something, she won't let it go."
Board of directors for the UCSD Cardiovascular Center and the La Jolla Community Center. Co-founder of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute's Fishman Fund. Charter 100 Woman of the Year. Planner of many galas. For the last decade or so, Horowitz has been one of San Diego's busiest philanthropists. Her giving touch and knack for throwing a memorable fundraiser benefits more health, science and child-welfare causes than she can name, but the motivation comes from one bottomless source.
Making a Difference
Claudette Rogers profiles San Diegans making a difference.
See her profiles every Tuesday and Thursday on U-T TV
Front Page: 6:00 – 10:00 a.m.

"The deep truth of why I do this is that all my life, I have been fighting a battle against other people's pain," Horowitz said during an interview at the Old Town offices of Just In Time for Foster Youth, where she was wrapping up work on the group's April 6 gala. (Tickets for the group's Fiat raffle are still on sale at jitfosteryouth.org/raffle.)
"As far back as I can remember, I have felt so bad for people who were hurting, and that's where all of this comes from. Certain things have called to me and made me think, 'This is bad. I have to do something about it.' And that's how I got in this mess."
A longtime owner and operator (with husband Sam) of convalescent hospitals and assisted-living facilities, Horowitz got into what she fondly calls this giving-back "mess" after retiring more than a decade ago. She had started hitting the gala circuit, and then she began making gala-appropriate jewelry using the stones and keepsakes she and Sam had picked up on their many trips abroad.
"What happens is, I fall in love with these materials, and then I try to figure out a way to honor the materials with what I make," said Horowitz, who was wearing a necklace featuring a prayer box she found in China. "Then I try to endow the person who is wearing it with a little something special."
Her hobby took off in an extra-special direction when local charity maven Mary Bradley saw one of Horowitz's opulent necklaces on a Nordstrom saleswoman and ended up buying 12 pieces. When a slightly abashed Horowitz wondered what she should do with the windfall, Bradley suggested she help start a speakers' series at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Institute.
A few years later, Horowitz and Bradley established the Fishman Fund, which gives yearly awards of $5,000 each to five postdoctoral researchers. The fund is a tribute to the late Dr. William Fishman and his wife, Lillian, who founded the Institute. It it also a reflection of what makes Reena Horowitz run.
"One of my passions is biomedical science, because you can help so many people," said Horowitz, a Milwaukee, Wis., transplant who attended Hoover High School and San Diego State. "My other big passion is kids. They are the hope of our future, and they are the most vulnerable group in society. There is a special place in my heart for them."

|Primary Election set for Tuesday
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 08 May 2014 00:00
By Russ Pankonin
The Imperial Republican
Chase County Clerk Debbie Clark spent part of Tuesday morning making sure all of the county's vote tallying machines were ready to go.
That's because this year's Primary Election will occur next Tuesday, May 13. Voting will occur in five polling places throughout the county from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. MDT.
Primary elections will be held for Republican, Democratic and Libertarian Parties, with the top candidate in each race advancing to the General Election Tuesday, Nov. 4.
LB 56 affects county ballot
Clark explained a new law, LB 56, passed in this year's short session affects whether or not partisan county office races appear on the Primary party ballots.
The bill, which carried the emergency clause, specifies that when only one person files for a county partisan office, the race will not appear on the Primary ballot. The candidate is declared as nominated and will appear on the General Election ballot for the respective races.
That is the case in all county races this year, with the exception of the Republican Commissioner District Two race. That race between incumbent Jodi Thompson and challenger Dave Hogsett will be decided Tuesday.
The winner of the race will advance to the General Election. There are no challengers for the seat on the Democratic ticket.
Nonpartisan voters
Chase County voters registered as non-partisan, which number 279, will be able to cast ballots in nonpartisan races for District 44 of the Legislature and District 7 of the State Board of Education.
Clark said the Democratic and Libertarians Parties allow nonpartisan voters to also cast ballots for their primary races.
The Republican Party does not open their ballot to nonpartisan voting.
She noted the nonpartisan voter can request either a Democratic ballot or Libertarian ballot when they check in at their respective polling places.
44th District race
Voters in the 44th Legislative District will forward two of the three candidates to the General Election.
The three candidates include Dan Hughes of Venango, Steve Stroup of Benkelman and Dennis Berry of McCook.
State races
Next week's Primary for state offices represents one of the most contested elections on the Republican ticket that voters have seen in a number of years.
Six Republicans are seeking their party's nomination for governor, four for attorney general and two each for auditor and treasurer.
On the Democratic ticket, two candidates are seeking the nomination for attorney general. The candidates in the rest of the offices are unopposed, as are the Libertarians.
Candidates in the Republican governor's race, Attorney General Jon Bruning, State Auditor Mike Foley, State Senators Beau McCoy and Tom Carlson, businessman Pete Ricketts and attorney Bryan Slone.
Chuck Hassebrook is running unopposed on the Democratic Ticket.
The four Republicans seeking to succeed Bruning as attorney general include Brian Buescher, Mike Hilger, Doug Peterson and State Sen. Pete Pirsch.
Janet Stewart and Allan Eurek are seeking the Democratic nomination.
In the auditor's race on the Republican ticket, Charlie Janssen faces off with Larry Anderson. Democratic candidate Amanda Gill is running unopposed.
Senate, Third District races
With Sen. Mike Johanns stepping down from the U.S. Senate, seven different candidates jumped in the race to succeed him—five from the Republican Party and two from the Democratic Party.
Republican candidates include Clifton Johnson, Shane Osborne, Sid Dinsdale, Ben Sasse and Bart McLeay. The winner will face either Democrat Larry Marvin or Dave Domina in the General Election.
In the Third District, incumbent Adrian Smith is being challenged by Tom Brewer. The winner will face Democrat Mark Sullivan in the General Election.
Polling places
All Wauneta precinct voters vote at the Wauneta Senior Center.
Voters in the Champion/Lamar precinct will vote at the Champion Community Center.
Imperial West precinct voters cast their ballots at the Lied Imperial Public Library while voters in Imperial East vote at the Imperial Community Center.
Voters in the Imperial Rural precinct vote at the Imperial United Methodist Church.
A total of 2,529 voters are registered in Chase County. Of those, 1,823 are Republican, 424 Democrat, 279 nonpartisan and 3 Libertarians.

State faults county jail for suicide
Claims former Marine was 'inadequately' evaluated by medical provider
1 2 3 Next page >
The New York State Commission of Correction recently released a report on the suicide of Bartholomew Ryan, a 32-year-old East Meadow resident and an Iraq war veteran who hanged himself with a bedsheet in his cell at the Nassau County Correctional Facility in February 2012, less than 24 hours after he was incarcerated.
The state-appointed three-member commission, headed by commissioner Phyllis Harrison-Ross, released a five-page report in which it concluded that Ryan received "inadequate evaluation and treatment by Armor Correctional Health Care Inc.," the independent medical care provider for the county jail.
Ryan, who served in the U.S. Marine Corp. from 2003 to 2008, was arrested on Feb. 22, 2012, and charged with driving under the influence of drugs. He was remanded to the Nassau Correctional Facility the following day, where he was to remain until his first scheduled court appearance on March 9.
Ryan was screened twice for suicide risk, in accordance with the Suicide Prevention Screening Guidelines, the report stated — once by uniformed correctional booking staff and once by a licensed practical nurse employed by Armor Inc. Because Ryan had a history of psychiatric treatment and had previously been on medication, he was referred to the facility's mental health services before being housed in the jail's new-admission health housing, the report continued, where his cell was supervised by an officer who conducted rounds every 15 minutes.
Ryan was then examined again by Armor Inc., this time by a doctor. The assessment, according to the report, was "inadequate."
Shortly after 3 p.m. on Feb. 24, 2012, officers discovered Ryan hanging by a bedsheet from the cell bars, according to the report. Two officers, identified only by their initials, reported the emergency on the facility radio, cut Ryan down and, with the help of a third officer and an automated external defibrillator, unsuccessfully attempted to resuscitate him.

Small birds like Cockatiels and Parakeets need small bird carriers that can accomodate their long tail without bending and breaking it. Ideally, a small bird carrier should allow long tailed Cockatiels and Parakeets to turn around comfortably. The perch in the small bird carrier needs to be high enough that your parakeet or cockatiel doesn't soil it's tail.

Dividing, moving and reducing the size of overgrown perennial clumps are essential tasks that rejuvenate the perennial garden and result in healthier, better-looking (and more) plants. As a general guide, you can expect perennial clumps to need thinning or dividing every three to five years. Once you've done it, have patience, as some transplanted perennials will take awhile to get re-established and become large enough to bloom again.
Tools you need
For dividing and transplanting perennials
- A sharp spade with a flat edge or sturdy garden fork (or two) to separate and divide the root ball
- Sharp secateurs (hand pruners) or a tough, sharp, non-serrated knife to neatly sever large, fleshy roots
- A watering can or hose
- A tarpaulin (or old shower curtain) for speedy clean-up, transportation of lighter plant divisions and to provide shade during the dividing task
- Pots or bags and labels if divisions are being shared
- A folding handsaw or axe is useful for cutting through dense or woody roots
How do you know it's time?
Perennial clumps that have taken on a doughnut shape are good candidates for renewal division. Most of the vigorous shoots are on the outer perimeter and often there's little growth in the clump's interior. Some pinks (Dianthus spp.), tall bearded iris hybrids (Iris germanica), bee balm (Monarda spp.), Phlox paniculata and lamb's ears (Stachys spp.) are prone to this growth pattern. Other plants must be divided because they have lost their youthful vigour, are producing smaller flowers and fewer leaves, or are congested in the centre of the clump and have grown overly tall, spindly or floppy.
Spring vs. fall
The old rule of thumb is to divide fall-flowering perennials in the spring and spring-flowering plants in the fall. The new thinking says spring-flowering plants should be divided right after they flower so they have the entire summer to settle into their new spots. While this is fine, late summer or early fall, when plants are still actively growing, is still an excellent time to divide most perennials, provided you finish the job at least 30 days before the first hard frost. That way, divisions will have an opportunity to send new roots into still-warm soil. This is especially important in areas with early frosts, harsh winters and unreliable snow cover.
There are exceptions. Some perennials that have fleshy storage roots should only be divided in the fall, regardless of when they bloom. These plants generally expend a lot of energy in the spring and need the summer to build up their reserves, and include peonies, Oriental poppies (Papaver orientale), astilbes, tall bearded irises and Siberian irises (Iris sibirica). Most autumn-flowering plants can be divided in spring, if you prefer.
Split up those bullies
Invasive plants need to be divided regularly and ruthlessly to keep them under control-every year, if necessary. These bullies include a few running ornamental grasses, such as Leymus racemosus, Glyceria maxima and Phalaris, as well as goutweed or snow-on-the-mountain (Aegopodium podagraria), carpet bugleweed (Ajuga reptans), peach-leaved bellflowers (Campanula persicifolia), lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria majalis), plume poppy (Macleaya cordata), bee balm and obedient plant (Physostegia virginiana). Even a few pieces of root left after moving or dividing an invasive plant will quickly send up shoots and fill the area again, so be merciless. Drought, lack of light, root competition or other barriers can also help keep thugs in check.

ATLANTA -- A court appearance for the man accused of gunning down a volunteer during a prayer service at World Changers Church International has been postponed.

A preliminary hearing for Floyd Palmer was scheduled for Thursday morning. It is now set for Friday.
Police say Palmer shot 39-year-old Greg McDowell to death at the Fulton County megachurch in October. McDowell was killed as he led a prayer group. No one else was hurt.

Police records show Palmer was charged more than a decade ago with a shooting outside a Maryland mosque. Palmer was committed to a psychiatric hospital in 2004 after pleading not criminally responsible to the mosque shooting.
Drew Findling, Palmer's lawyer, has said his client's mental competency must be evaluated as the criminal case against him moves forward.

As a member of the Green Economy Coalition, IUCN shares the Coalition's vision of striving towards a "resilient economy that provides a better quality of life for all within the ecological limits of one planet". IUCN sees a Green Economy as an economy which is motivated by social welfare and securely anchored on sustainable patterns of natural resource use and stewardship. Ultimately, the goal is to align the economy with the principles of sustainable development.
IUCN firmly believes that a Green Economy should be based on a clear recognition of the fundamental dependence of human wellbeing on nature. As such, biodiversity and ecosystems need to be kept at the centre of a Green Economy transition.
More specifically, IUCN suggests that a nature-based Green Economy transition should build on the following three fundamental pillars:
- Managing ecosystems and biodiversity to build resilience- IUCN believes that healthy ecosystems represent the foundation of a resilient and truly sustainable economy. Consequently, there needs to be a stronger appreciation of the role of biodiversity and green infrastructure as means of mitigating and managing economic risks. In this regard, greater investment in ecosystem management, stewardship and restoration is essential in the transition towards a Green Economy.
- Mainstreaming ecosystem values in the economy- IUCN emphasizes the need to change current accounting and planning frameworks to ensure that ecosystem values are reflected in economic decisions and policies. Moreover, greater investment in natural capital can play a key role in supporting a Green Economy transition by generating income and creating jobs in 'green' markets and enterprises such as sustainable tourism, organic agriculture, and the management of ecosystem services (e.g. regulating water, nutrient, and water cycles).
- Developing an appropriate governance model for a Green Economy- IUCN believes it is imperative that the green economy transition be based on strong governance principles, namely access to information, public participation and horizontal decision making – all of which are essential for a Green Economy to be equitable and effective.

Derrick and Giovanni Pemperton have been charged with failing to secure a vicious dog and simple assault.

Dear Editor:
Being a volunteer firefighter for the past 57 years, I learned a lot about fallen trees, broken power poles and downed wires.
As a fire police officer, directing traffic and insuring the safety of the motorizing public, I've stood many hours on the highway during such conditions and absorbed firsthand knowledge of what the power company personnel must go through to restore power outages.
I can assure you that safety is their primary concern, both for themselves and for other emergency responders on the scene. Unfortunately, some conditions causing the power outages are so devastating that access roads are impassable due to fallen debris or by being washed out, thereby preventing the power company personnel to even get close to the problem.
Let's face it, they are only human. They, too, are homeowners and family people and they know what it's like to be in such a predicament during a storm and possibly having to dispose of foods they could have enjoyed with their families.
When you look at some of the media coverage of the recent storm devastation along the northeastern coastline, common sense would surely indicate the impossibility that power company personnel faced that prevented them from attacking the damage and restoring power. There are no magic wands in their arsenal, only the tools of the trade, their long hours of training and their God given common sense for determining what needs to be done and how to do it under the conditions to which they are forced to work.
It is up to us to understand their circumstances and be supportive of their efforts on our behalf instead of being so selfishly critical for not doing their job fast enough to suit our needs.
For all the complaints, investigations and subpoenas coming out in the media of late, my advice would be if anyone in their right mind really thinks they could have done a better job faster under such disastrous circumstances, put on a hard hat, strap on your tool belt and climb into the bucket on the power company truck and give it your best shot.
Mother Nature is very unpredictable at times and this time, at least for the northeast coast, it presented us with an experience that no one could have been totally prepared for. I believe those who climb the poles and ride the bucket trucks are to be congratulated and praised for what they did under the working conditions they were faced with. They really did a miraculous job worthy of our thanks.

I've been pouring over the Split Domain wiki, and some other posts on how to migrate from 2007 --> Zimbra 8.0
I am however not sure which course would be best, using Exchange as my primary or Zimbra. Also, we are using GFI Essentials and Mail Security on Microsoft SMTP in the DMZ, and I'm not sure if that would handle the split domain, or if I do it at the Exchange level.
Right now, mail routing is fairly straight forward:
ISP Relay <--> GFI SMTP Content Filter <--> Exchange 2007
GFI accepts mail for example.domain.com
Exchange is on example.otherdomain.com with example.domain.com as an alias.
I setup Zimbra 8.0 as zimbra.otherdomain.com with an alias of example.domain.com
I want to keep all user email addresses the same, hence the split domain.
So, my question is, do I need to get the GFI SMTP piece involved at all until I fully remove the Exchange server? Or can I just have mail routed from Exchange to Zimbra as we move departments then change GFI route mail just to the zimbra server when we are done?
I'm still a little confused on the best scenario to use. We don't have a lot of mailboxes (about 700), but they are rather large, and we cover over 35 departments --- so timing is crucial and the reason we what to do this in phases.

Bonaire Scuba Diving Travel Report
Article and Photos by Jeni Smith June 2008
Warm tropical waters, hundreds of species of fish, pristine corals; its no wonder that Bonaire is known as a diving paradise. Located 50 miles north of Venezuela in the Caribbean, Bonaire is part of the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao). Most of Bonaire's western coast line is flat and protected with easy access to the water, which makes it easy to find a spot to pull off the road, grab your gear and get in. Just look for one of the painted yellow rocks on the side of the road and you've found a dive site. With more then 60 marked dive locations on the main island and 26 on Klein Bonaire it's hard to pick favorites. Here is a short run down on a few of the sites I visited while on my vacation to Bonaire.
Boka Slagbaai
Boka Slagbaai, (Pronounced slay-bay, meaning slaughter because of the cattle that used to be slaughtered in the park), a marked dive site located with in Washington Slagbaai park it is the southern most dive site in the park. The majority of the sites in the park are for the more advanced diver (like Boka Bartol pictured aside) with stronger currents, larger waves and unstable rubble entries, but this one can be done by just about anyone. Boka Slagbaai has picnic tables, many trees and a sandy white beach. This spot is not only great for divers but snorkeling, sun bathing and kayaking as well. There are old white and orange buildings that date back to 1869 here, inside the buildings bathrooms are available to the public, be aware the water is non potable. You have to begin your dive before 2:30 pm as the gates to the park close promptly at 5 and getting back to the gate takes some time on unpaved windy dirt roads. The entry into the water is easy with little rocks, just watch your footing getting in. It's a fairly long swim out to the mooring buoys over sand and coral. My dive alert proved helpful in keeping in touch with my dive buddy, especially since he's a speed demon. Keep your eyes on the sea floor as you swim out because you might be blessed with a Spotted Eagle Ray or Southern Sting Ray resting or feeding in the shallows. Once at the drop off point you can chose to head north or south. Soft and hard corals a plenty here and of course hundreds of small fish. Barracuda like to frequent the area as well.
Oil Slick Leap
Oil Slick Leap is south of the park and marked with one of Bonaire's famous yellow dive marker rocks. Nothing to fear about the name though, there's no oil in the water, but you can jump in at several different places. The flat spot to the right of the platform is a little closer to the water then the one further north. Remember to hold onto your mask as you do your giant stride. There is a ladder for exiting, and you can use this for entry as well if you don't care to take the leap. The mooring buoy is a short swim out at 34 feet and the drop off begins soon after. Lots of gorgonian, brain coral, basket sponge and stag horn corals are here and of course the hazardous fire coral. There are many sandy patches, rays and turtles can be found here, as well as the possible passing pelagic. The fish life is abundant with parrotfish, tangs, queen triggerfish, butterfly fish, and gobies to name a few.
Buddy's Reef
Buddy's Reef is a resort as well as a wonderful dive site. They have an open dock policy, just stop at the gear locker to let them know you'd like to use their facility if you aren't staying at the resort. It's ok to drive your truck to the stairs that lead down to the pier, drop off your gear and then park your truck back in the lot. Here there are stairs or you can do a giant stride off the dock into the water. It's a short swim to the marker buoy where the reef starts at 35 feet and drops off to a sand bottom at 110 feet. The slope is a myriad of color with soft and hard corals and many sponges. There are many critters here that have made Buddy's Reef their home. A few things you should not miss are Frog fish, green and spotted moray's, a resident turtle and even a sea horse. Just ask the dive master for directions to where these animals hang out; photo opportunities galore present themselves at Buddy's. Once a week a pod of dolphins cruise by the resort, so keep your eyes to the blue and your ears open for this rare treat. Be sure to take a trip to Buddy's at night where a few Tarpon like to hang out. One is especially large and has been nicknamed "Charlie." He's very used to divers and knows to follow your dive light to a nice meal, listen for the snap of his jaws when he strikes. It's very exciting. Even in this warm water my 3mm full wetsuit made my dives so much more enjoyable, both for warmth and protection from coral.
Eden Beach
Eden Beach is located behind Wannadive's Resort just south of Buddy's Reef. The current can be a little stronger here, so be careful. There are several highlights to Eden Beach. Under the pier is a web cam, be sure to tell your friends when you plan on being at this site and they can get some photos of you. You can find the link to the web cam at BonaireWebcams.com. As you descend at 30 feet there is an enormous round mooring. Heading south at 60 feet is the sail boat Bakanal which is abundant with fish. Lantern bass, yellow jaw-fish, sea snakes and more have made her their home. To the north in 45 feet of water is the wreck Our Confidence. The bow faces north in 57 feet on sand and rubble, her masts have fallen and wood worms have weakened the structure, so be careful.
Above Water Highlights
Bonaire is of course known for it's diving, but there are a few things that you should be sure not to miss. Take a trip inland to the petroglyphs of the Caiquito Indians, and if you're not claustrophobic be sure to look into cave and mangrove snorkeling. Be sure to head to the southern end of the island and take some photos of the slave huts with the slat flats the slaves used to tend in the back ground. There is also kayaking, wind surfing and kite surfing available on the island. And of course don't miss the flamingos.
Any of the dive sites in Bonaire are just as wonderful as the ones above, but remember, you're on Island time and you're on vacation. It's a small island and while each area is unique they do sort of blend into each other after you've seen a lot of them. So pack your bags, visit Scuba.com for all your scuba diving gear and don't push yourself to see all the dive sites at once; besides it makes for a great excuse to go back.

Thanks to DtL reader Allison for sending over this image of Jelena Jankovic at a Hong Kong presser.
The top lady baller's road to her first Grand Slam in Melbourne just got a little bumpier when she pulled out of this weekend's JB Group Classic team competition with the flu.
But her path isn't the only thing that's gotten bumpy: her skin here is looking a bit suspect. Click on the above image for closer inspection (if you dare). Egads!
I guess that's why JJ likes to blind as batty with glitter and pancake the makeup. Wise choice on both accounts though the on-court towels might (and do) say differently.

Give her a break...she's got the flu for goodness sake. I think she looks pretty good all things considered. Remember how you looked the last time you had the flu :-)ReplyDelete

i agree with above! i hope hope things turn out better for her. its just the start of the season after all. go JJ, Nole, and Ana!ReplyDelete
I'm no JJ fan but give her a break on the skin front. I mean, her poor taste in fashion is one thing, but this is out of her control and I don't think should be scrutinised like this.ReplyDelete
Agree with everybody here! Her skin doesn't look perfect but so what! That's not what bothering me. In fact in pics from an earlier press conference she actually looks pretty good!ReplyDelete
The thing that pisses me off about JJ right now is that she again claimed that she would be in doubt for the Open. That the flu - the common flu - would be so hard on her body and such. She's totally being the drama queen again!
Just like last year when her leg was "almost falling off" and she "put her career in danger" to play the hopman cup. Please! [/rant ending]
I love her, but c'mon!
*waxes nostalgic about last flu attack, gets misty-eyed*ReplyDelete
i love jj too and yeah i wasn't so pretty either when i last had the flu. oh well.
but i think her skin is pretty bad normally, which is why the makeup is always caked on.
get thee to a dermo!

speaking of illnesses, vera (zvonareva) has just pulled out of sydney due to a gastro intestinal illness.ReplyDelete
first ana, then JJ and now, zvonareva. everyone's getting sick and injured, what's happening?
Memo to JJ: ProActiv. Learn it, use it, love it.ReplyDelete
Oh, and can we talk about her poor decision to lighten her hair? Lame sauce.
You know it's bad when Dinara is making better style decisions than you are.
**but i think her skin is pretty bad normally, which is why the makeup is always caked on.**ReplyDelete
Yea I so agree. And to wear more make up when her skin is not at her best, ON COURT make up, is just piling on the wrinkles. :( I really wish women would forget make up for a while and get good skin care instead. Eat a good diet! She's my age for fuck's sake. And the hair! She needs to stop straightening it. It looks so unnatural and very unhealthy to the hair. I wonder what she really looks like if she has natural hair and better skin care.
She does look a lot older than she is. That cant really be helped though she is out in the sun all the time but you would think with all her money she would be having fascials and skin peels all the time to keep her complection looking good. Well I would anyway.ReplyDelete
Noooooooo please, no skin peels. Skin peels are terrible, all it does is take a layer off your skin and you'll look good afterwards because you'll be sporting brand new baby skin, but in the long term it's a layer off your skin, you'll get wrinkles that much easier.ReplyDelete
Yeah isn't it a bad cycle: caking on the makeup when you have bad skin? I'd think it would make the skin worse.ReplyDelete
I don't know much about skin peels but it just sounds freakin' painful. I'm not sure I want baby skin again - been there, done that.
It is a bad cycle.ReplyDelete
Yes, skin peels are painful, quite. You will also be red like a lobster for a few days afterwards, all for a few months of nicer looking skin but not better skin in the end. NEVER do it. Terrible procedure. No, I've never had it, but my mom used to be a beautician. ;) That's how I know bout these things.

Summary:It all begins as successful Scottish playwright J.M. Barrie watches his latest play open to a ho-hum reaction among the polite society of Edwardian England. A literary genius of his times but bored by the same old themes, Barrie is clearly in need of some serious inspiration. Unexpectedly, he finds it one day during his daily walk with his St. Bernard Porthos in London's Kensington Gardens. There, Barrie encounters the Llewelyn Davies family: four fatherless boys and their beautiful, recently widowed mother.

Dust, cats, peanuts, cockroaches. An odd grouping, but one with a common thread: allergies — a major cause of illness in the United States. Up to 50 million Americans, including millions of kids, have some type of allergy. In fact, allergies account for the loss of an estimated 2 million schooldays per year.
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to a substance that's harmless to most people. But in someone with an allergy, the body's immune system treats the substance (called an allergen) as an invader and reacts inappropriately, resulting in symptoms that can be anywhere from annoying to possibly harmful to the person.
In an attempt to protect the body, the immune system of the allergic person produces antibodies called immunoglobulin E (IgE). Those antibodies then cause mast cells and basophils (allergy cells in the body) to release chemicals, including histamine, into the bloodstream to defend against the allergen "invader."
It's the release of these chemicals that causes allergic reactions, affecting a person's eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, or gastrointestinal tract as the body attempts to rid itself of the invading allergen. Future exposure to that same allergen (things like nuts or pollen that you can be allergic to) will trigger this allergic response again. This means every time the person eats that particular food or is exposed to that particular allergen, he or she will have an allergic reaction.
The tendency to develop allergies is often hereditary, which means it can be passed down through your genes. However, just because you, your partner, or one of your children might have allergies doesn't mean that all of your kids will definitely get them, too. And someone usually doesn't inherit a particular allergy, just the likelihood of having allergies.
But a few kids have allergies even if no family member is allergic. A child who is allergic to one substance is likely to be allergic to others as well.
Some of the most common things people are allergic to are airborne (carried through the air):
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology estimates that up to 2 million, or 8%, of kids in the United States are affected by food allergies, and that eight foods account for most of those food allergy reactions in kids: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
Some kids also have what are called cross-reactions. For example, kids who are allergic to birch pollen might have reactions when they eat an apple because that apple is made up of a protein similar to one in the pollen. Another example is that kids who are allergic to latex (as in gloves or certain types of hospital equipment) are more likely to be allergic to kiwifruit, water chestnuts, or bananas.
The type and severity of allergy symptoms vary from allergy to allergy and child to child. Allergies may show up as itchy eyes or an itchy nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, throat tightness, trouble breathing, and even shock (faintness or passing out).
Symptoms can range from minor or major seasonal annoyances (for example, from pollen or certain molds) to year-round problems (from allergens like dust mites or food). Allergies to dust mites are common to the eastern parts of the United States, but not in areas of high-altitude and low humidity (for example, like Colorado).
Because different allergens are more prevalent in different parts of the country and the world, allergy symptoms can also vary, depending on where you live. For example, peanut allergy is unknown in Scandinavia, where they don't eat peanuts, but is common in the United States, where peanuts are not only a popular food, but are also found in many of the things we eat.
Airborne allergens can cause something known as allergic rhinitis, which occurs in about 15% to 20% of Americans. It develops by 10 years of age and reaches its peak in the early twenties, with symptoms often disappearing between the ages of 40 and 60.
Symptoms can include:
These symptoms are often accompanied by itchy, watery, and/or red eyes, which is called allergic conjunctivitis. (When dark circles are present around the eyes, they're called allergic "shiners.") Those who react to airborne allergens usually have allergic rhinitis and/or allergic conjunctivitis. If a person has wheezing and shortness of breath, the allergy may have progressed to become asthma.
The severity of food allergy symptoms and when they develop depends on:
Symptoms of food allergies can include:
Being stung by an insect that a child is allergic to may cause some of these symptoms:
In rare instances, if the sensitivity to an allergen is extreme, a child may experience anaphylaxis (or anaphylactic shock) — a sudden, severe allergic reaction involving various systems in the body (such as the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system).
Severe symptoms or reactions to any allergen, from certain foods to insect bites, require immediate medical attention and can include:
Anaphylaxis can happen just seconds after being exposed to a triggering substance or can be delayed for up to 2 hours if the reaction is from a food. It can involve various areas of the body.
Fortunately, though, severe or life-threatening allergies occur in only a small group of kids. In fact, the annual incidence of anaphylactic reactions is small — about 30 per 100,000 people — although those with asthma, eczema, or hay fever are at greater risk of experiencing them. Most anaphylactic reactions — up to 80% — are caused by peanuts or tree nuts.
Some allergies are fairly easy to identify because the pattern of symptoms following exposure to certain allergens can be hard to miss. But other allergies are less obvious because they can masquerade as other conditions.
If your child has cold-like symptoms lasting longer than a week or two or develops a "cold" at the same time every year, consult your doctor, who will likely ask questions about the symptoms and when they appear. Based on the answers to these questions and a physical exam, the doctor may be able to make a diagnosis and prescribe medications or may refer you to an allergist for allergy skin tests and more extensive therapy.
To determine the cause of an allergy, allergists usually perform skin tests for the most common environmental and food allergens. These tests can be done in infants, but they're more reliable in kids over 2 years old.
A skin test can work in one of two ways:
If reactions to a food or other allergen are severe, a blood test may be used to diagnose the allergy so as to avoid exposure to the offending allergen. Skin tests are less expensive and more sensitive than blood tests for allergies. But blood tests may be required in children with skin conditions or those who are extremely sensitive to a particular allergen.
Even if a skin test and/or a blood test shows an allergy, a child must also have symptoms to be definitively diagnosed with an allergy. For example, a toddler who has a positive test for dust mites and sneezes frequently while playing on the floor would be considered allergic to dust mites.
There is no real cure for allergies, but it is possible to relieve symptoms. The only real way to cope with them is to reduce or eliminate exposure to allergens. That means that parents must educate their kids early and often, not only about the allergy itself, but also about what reaction they will have if they consume or come into contact with the allergen.
Informing any and all caregivers (childcare personnel, teachers, extended family members, parents of your child's friends, etc.) about your child's allergy is equally important.
If reducing exposure isn't possible or is ineffective, medications may be prescribed, including antihistamines (which you can also buy over the counter) and inhaled or nasal spray steroids.
In some cases, an allergist may recommend immunotherapy (allergy shots) to help desensitize your child. However, allergy shots are only helpful for allergens such as dust, mold, pollens, animals, and insect stings. They're not used for food allergies, and someone with food allergies must avoid that food.
Here are some things that can help kids avoid airborne allergens:
Food allergies usually aren't lifelong (although those to peanuts, tree nuts, and seafood can be). Avoiding the food is the only way to avoid symptoms while the sensitivity persists.
Doctors often recommend that caregivers of kids who are extremely sensitive to a particular food, have asthma in addition to the food allergy, or are allergic to insect venom carry injectable epinephrine (adrenaline) to counteract any allergic reactions.
Available in an easy-to-carry container that looks like a pen, injectable epinephrine is carried by millions of parents (and older kids) everywhere they go. With one injection into the thigh, the device administers epinephrine to ease the allergic reaction.
An injectable epinephrine prescription usually includes two auto-injectors and a "trainer" that contains no needle or epinephrine, but allows you and your child (if he or she is old enough) to practice using the device. It's vital that you familiarize yourself with the procedure by practicing with the trainer. Your doctor also can provide instructions on how to use and store injectable epinephrine.
Make sure kids 12 years or older keep injectable epinephrine readily available at all times. If your child is younger than 12, talk to the school nurse, teachers, and your childcare provider about keeping injectable epinephrine on hand in case of an emergency.
It's also important to ensure that injectable epinephrine devices are available in your home and in the homes of friends and family members if your child spends time there. Your doctor may also encourage your child to wear a medical alert bracelet. It's also wise to carry an over-the-counter antihistamine, which can help alleviate allergy symptoms in some people. But antihistamines should not be used as a replacement for the epinephrine pen.
Kids who have had to take injectable epinephrine should go immediately to a medical facility or hospital emergency department, where additional treatment can be given if needed. Up to one third of anaphylactic reactions can have a second wave of symptoms several hours following the initial attack, so these kids might need to be observed in a clinic or hospital for 4 to 8 hours following the reaction even though they seem well.
The good news is that only a very small group of kids will experience severe or life-threatening allergies. With proper diagnosis, preventive measures, and treatment, most kids can keep their allergies in check and live happy, healthy lives.

Bristol-Myers Squibb caused a stir last week when it picked up biotech firm Adnexus Therapeutics for $415 million. The biologics manufacturer comes with a promising Phase I compound, a basic drug technology, and a drug discovery platform that permits rapid generation and screening of trillions of compounds.
The two basic technologies that Adnexus brings to the table are the adnectin biologics platform and the Profusion protein-engineering system. Adnectins are based on a common bodily protein called fibronectin, which can be modified in a multitude of ways. As therapeutics, adnectins act very similar to antibodies, though they are significantly easier to manufacture.
"We believe that adnectin has all the advantages of antibodies and a few others beside," said Francis Cuss, senior vice president, discovery and exploratory clinical research for BMS. "When combined with the Profusion technology, it allows us to generate trillions of protein variations to optimize the adnectin very quickly."
The intellectual property is exclusive to Adnexus and allows BMS to avoid the intellectual properties of a number of competitive targets that it wouldn't be able to go after with traditional antibodies.
Adnexus currently has an adnectin drug called angiocept in Phase I trials. The therapy targets the same angiogenic pathway as Genentech's Avastin: It is expected to stop the growth of blood vessels—and even shrink them, in some cases. The drug targets the receptor through which the protein activators function and blocks all protein activators.
That all depends, however, on whether the therapy actually works.
Cuss made it clear that the technology is unproven. Angiocept is the first biological compound to be brought into development using this technology, and BMS is gambling that it will be the validation of the system.
"The potential for angiocept could be superior to Avastin in terms of its effect on cancer; but it is still in Phase I trials, so we have yet to get clinical data to prove that," Cuss said.
If Profusion and adnectin succeed, BMS said it would examine existing targets and its own pipeline to see where the technology could be used.
For the time being, Adnexus will exist as it has. BMS says it has no plans to relocate or close the company. In fact, it aims to not only keep the current staff, but to invest in the company. Adnexus will be a full subsidiary of BMS.
But what, exactly, will Adnexus do for BMS? The company's technology, and especially its discovery platform, has potential uses in a variety of clinical areas. The company skirted the possibility of licensing the technology to other companies. "The focus in the near term is to invest and broaden the scope of adnectin use in different therapy areas," Cuss said. "Obviously, what we want to do is bring Angiocept into our biologics pipeline. This isn't a monolithic strategy; it is a nimble plan that will evolve as circumstances and the environment changes."
BMS is expanding its biologics strategy, which it believes is a cornerstone of future growth. The company has been working with biologics since the mid-eighties, when it acquired the Seattle-based oncology firm Oncogen, which spawned at least two drugs and has another three biologics in development. The company has manufacturing sites in New York State and Massachusetts.
