About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.

So many worlds, so many worlds for me to penetrate
I wanna last and take the sun from all the half-awake
Cause you weren't here, you know that you weren't here
So many times we were the ones to write and settle wars
Cause when you don't, you're signing up to take it on all fours
And you aren't here, I know that you aren't here
Someday we'll be old men rotting
Someday we'll be eyes in a garden
So many times we were the ones to reach the heart of wars
Cause if you don't they tie you up and pull you into fours
And you aren't here, you know that you aren't here
Someday we'll be old men rotting
Someday we'll be eyes in a garden
Someday we'll be old men rotting
Someday we'll be eyes in a garden, a garden...

Lahore: 02 March: LUMS 24th Convocation Ceremony will showcase Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy - Pakistan's first Academy Award Winner 2012, as the keynote speaker of the event, which will be held on June 23, 2012.
Obaid-Chinoy won the Short Documentary Category for her work, 'Saving Face' at the 2012 Academy Award, on Sunday, February 26, 2012. The film was co-directed by Daniel Junge. Her Oscar-winning piece highlights the acid-attack survivors in Pakistan and follows them in their fight to bring their attackers to justice. Also, it focuses on the work of British Pakistani plastic surgeon Mohammad Jawad, who helps them restore their faces and lives.
In 2010, Obaid-Chinoy's work gained recognition in the form of an Emmy for her film 'Children of the Taliban'. She completed her Undergraduate Education from Smith College, which was then topped off with two Master's Degrees from Stanford University.
Obaid-Chinoy is a source of pride for Pakistan because of her distinguished work, which spoke volumes on the rarely spoken of tragedies, in Pakistan.
While speaking about Obaid-Chinoy's pick as the speaker of convocation 2012, Dr. Adil Najam, LUMS Vice Chancellor, said, "Her work exemplifies qualities - social commitment and a pursuit of excellence - that we at LUMS hold very dear and which our own students aspire for." He added, "As the keynote speaker at the 24th LUMS Convocation Ceremony she will serve as a role-model and source of motivation for our graduating class of 2012."
The 24th Annual Convocation for LUMS graduates is likely to be the largest convocation ceremony in the University's history, with as many as 700 students in the graduating class.
LUMS has always invited the best in their respective fields as the speakers at their annual convocation ceremonies and Obaid-Chinoy is another link of that chain. The first two classes graduated at a combined LUMS First Convocation Cermony in 1989 that featured Ghulam Ishaq Khan, then President of Pakistan, as the speaker of the event.
Other honourable speakers at LUMS include: Moin Qureshi, the Vice President of World Bank; Safi Qureshi, the CEO, AST Research; Dr. Nafis Sadik, the Executive Director of UNFPA; Prof. Mohammad Yunus, the Nobel Winner, Grameen Bank; Zia Chishti, the Chairman and CEO, The Resource Group, Farooq Kathwari, the President & CEO of Ethan Allen; Mushtaq Ahmed Yousufi, Author and Humourist; Ahmed Rashid, Journalist and Author; Dr. Mehmood Khan, the Chief Scientific Officer of PepsiCo and Dr. Shahid Kardar, the Governor State Bank of Pakistan.

Why is there no premium in the warrants given they don't expire for over a year?
Sentiment: Buy
A partial answer may be the low VIX reading - call premiums are correlated with the VIX. Other than that, I am flummoxed.
i dont think it has anything to do with the VIX. this is a situation where you can buy a warrant that does not expire for about 21 more months, and there is no premium--------that is weird, strange and unheard of. why buy common when you can have so much more leverage by owning the warrants and your downside is .98 cents while your downside on the common is much more.
any other thoughts or comments.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

ok, Foosters who attend or recently attended WVU - I need a dorm rating. Youngest is off to school there next fall. Which are the better/best dorms, have room for bikes, blah blah blah?
As with mud, life, too, slides by.
all dorms suck. live in a box or an apartment (and always on the top floor!) or anything but a dorm! dorms... you will never sleep in a dorm.
and if you really want your kid to get something out of his education you'll make sure he has a quiet place to sleep and study. libraries are not quiet. neither are dorms.
he needs to live off campus in a top floor apartment.
I lived 12mi from campus in my grandparents house overlooking the Pacific. (Thankfully, I didn't take up surfing.) I couldn't understand how my friends could accomplish anything in the dorms when I visited. Too much chaos.
Of course, I only managed a 3.17 GPA, but I felt so much more civilized doing it, I guess.

I know, I know - but it's one of those 1st year requirements.
As with mud, life, too, slides by.
Just go to Wisconsin-Madison instead... you'll be too drunk from all the partying (in Wisconsin minors can be served as long as they are accompanied by a 'responsible' adult) to even notice where you are sleeping most of the time.
I loved my time in the dorms. Granted, when it was time to leave, it was really time to leave... but it was fun while it lasted.
Sorry, I have no valid input towards the dorms at WVU.
I've only been to off campus apartments at WVU....however.com VT's dorms are little boxes just like Concord universities....yeah I say sublet the dorm.
Love one another
The dorm that I was in my first year wasn't too bad. Relatively quiet, no parties or drunks, but I had three roommates who all stayed up till 3 a.m. watching anime and playing computer games. I couldn't wait to leave. Now I live in a top floor apartment, which is only somewhat bettter. Now I have neighbors who party and listen to loud music constantly.
I think it's just part of the college experience. You have to learn how to deal with distractions.
Otherwise, try to find information specifically to that campus on the characteristics of each dorm. You'll always have the jocks, stoners, asians, etc. occupying their own dorm/area on campus. Just find a place suitable for little Timmy.
Dorms can be a valuable step in adult development. There is often a sense of community, and for many people who attend school away from home, this community can make the difference between success and falling into a depression because they live in an isolated box by themselves.
Natural progression is as follows:
1) Live at home with mommy and daddy holding your hand
2) Move into a dorm with like-minded students and (hopefully) decent role models
3) Move off-campus either with friends or alone, personality depending
4) Be prepared to face the real world
I realize it's not always cookie cutter like this, but most will follow this pattern and be fine.
My point of view is slightly utilitarian in thinking that dorms are a necessary evil that college students should learn to deal with. Kind of like another problem to solve or obstacle to overcome.
Kids need to get out and be part of something, and dorm living can be a good experience for many. Remember that there is also usually a grace period for exchanging rooms and halls if little Timmy gets stuck in a particularly bad place.
I think goldfishin is that guy on your floor that flips out when he hears the most miniscule sound. Don't be that dude. He should be living off-campus. Far off-campus.
Hey - Dorm life is what it is, and that 1st year requirement is a requirement. I KNOW there are some WVU students in here somewhere - guess they're busy either writing term papers, riding their bikes, or burning couches.
The WVU website just doesn't give much info on the particular dorms - which are suites, which aren't, co-ed or not, room size - which have newer, etc. THAT's what I was kind of hoping for.
As with mud, life, too, slides by.

I would really like to cloth diaper my baby, but I haven't a clue how to get started! I have read some posts where Jillian's drawers was a reccommended website. I went there and found Kissaluvs, and when you click on their package it says that they may be the best cloth diaper for new borns available. Also, the package I was looking at says that it comes with 12 fitted diapers, but it notes that diaper covers are needed. What does this mean? Has anyone else used Kissaluvs on their newborn? Would getting these be a good place for me to start?
I am getting ready to CD my April baby after using sposies with my first. I felt much like you do now, not long ago. Just read, read, read, and it will eventually click. I really like Green Mountain Diapers for information and they have lots of pictures too. I did get one dozen Kissaluvs through the Kissaluv outlet store. I will also be using 2 dozen prefolds from GMD. Both the fitteds and the prefolds need covers. If you search this group, there are a lot of threads where people have described their newborn stash. That should give you a pretty good idea. But like I said, just keep reading and eventually things like fitted vs. pocket vs. AIO and covers and snappis and wetbags will just all make sense.
As a newbie to clothe diapers, I would appreciate some vocabulary help! What is a prefold? What are fitteds, covers, snappies, and wetbags? Help! lol so confused!
EDD August 28, 2009
As someone who was in your shoes about 3wks ago I know it can be confusing. I personally like the kissaluvs. I got 2 off diaperswappers to try and I liked them. So I got a lot of 7more off diaperswappers. I also use pre-folds, but like the fitteds better.
Like the PP mentioned- Greenmountain diapers is a good site that will answer all your questions. It can be very overwhelming reading the info, but just bookmark the page and go back and then everything will begin to make sense.

Prefolds -rectangular in shape, they have more layers sewn in the middle for more absorbency. They come in preemie to toddler sizes. Most affordable next to flats.
Flats- Big squares of a single layer. Usually birdseye cotton, hemp, bamboo.
Fitteds-diapers that have snaps or velcro closure and elastic around legs and waist to contain everything.
Contour diapers- like fitteds but don't have elastic or closure, you can use a snappi.
Pocket diapers- have a waterproof outer layer and a stay-dry inner layer and an opening in the back or front to stuff it with an absorbent insert.
All in one (AIO)- has a waterpoof outer and has an absorbent inner all sewn together. Sometimes can take longer to dry than others.
Covers- Waterproof, pull up or wrap around style. Wrap style has velcro or snaps. There is also wool and fleece which allows the diaper to breath but still provide a waterproof barrier.
Snappis-Polyurethane, shaped like a T. Has teeth that grip a prefold or flat diaper to keep it together without using pins.
Wetbags-Bags made with waterproof material to keep dirty diapers in
For the record, I liked Kissaluvs on a newborn. They are easy to use. They are bulkier than disposables but most cloth diapers will be. A good cover for them is Proraps or Thirsties. I would also recommend Diaperpin.com for reviews and articles on the subject of cloth diapering. You can also find sales for cloth diaper stores there. The FAQ on this site are also very helpful for newbies.
I am definitely planning on getting more when we have baby #2. but I don't use many fitteds after LO gets into size medium dipes. I like the softness of KLOs, the fit, the ease of using them and they fit DS much longer than I expected. If I had known before I delivered that they would fit so long, i would have bought a lot more of them. They seemed expensive until I saw how much use we got out of them. Not to mention, they are still in perfect condition for the next LO.

We used Kissaluvs on both of our newborns. We used them for a long time with DD but only until the cord fell of with DS. He was 8 pounds 10 ounces at birth and had very chunky thighs from day one. He went into my small Fuzzi Bunz at 2 weeks instead of a month and a half.
I liked the kissaluvs the first time around. But the second time around, I didn't. I think because I had gotten so used to the Fuzzi Bunz which are much trimmer and the bulkiness bothered me. But they did fit well and worked well.

I am new too, but I ordered a bunch of things to compare them, including both the kissaluvs 0s and the swaddlebees newborn fitteds. We have decided to go with a combo of pfs/covers and AIOs instead, however, if I was to pick between the KLOs and the swaddlebees fitteds, I would have chosen the swaddlebees. They are not as bulky as the kissaluvs, and even softer. HTH!

This site helped me when I first started. Most sites that sell dipes have FAQ and tutorials. The more you read, the more things will make sense. I also recommend what the PP said about reading previous posts about newborn stashs, people have made good suggestions that keep getting repeated.
There isn't one "right" answer - we will all have to work out what works best on our LOs. You can invest in a whole stash of one kind and find that they don't fit your baby's body type, or that you prefer another kind.

Kissaluvs might be great but they were too spendy for me, especially since I wasn't sure about cd'ing. We went with prefolds and covers and had no problems. However, if we have another I just might go for the KL0 so if money isn't an issue I think it can be a nice way to go. Oh, someone posted a link the other day to a new or used KL0 package that you can return and get some money back. That looked pretty cool but I don't know the link.

hunny bun, I cannot even begin to put into words how much I HATED kissaluvs. hated, hated, hated! when they arrived I thought they were the cutest darn thing ever and was so excited, then I put them on DD are the love fest was over. DD would leak out of these at every wee, (i tried three different wraps) these diapers were just not even thirsty enough for one new born wee - oh puhlease!
I am so cranky at all the money I spent on these when they sucked so badly.
I ended up using prefolds - and I got three times as many for the same price - plus they actually did the job.

In Brief: The Business Case for Climate Legislation
June 2010
In recent years, leading businesses have emerged as some of the strongest advocates for passage of national climate and energy legislation that mandates reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While many have cheered this business engagement, others have been left confused and at times suspicious of why businesses would support such a policy.
In many ways, the confusion is understandable. Environmental politics in this country have often pitted business interests against environmental advocates in a binary struggle over the need for new or more stringent regulations. But today, major corporations cutting across a range of industries are allying themselves with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), unions, national security hawks, and even religious groups to urge enactment of legislation that requires reductions in GHG emissions. To some observers on the left and the right, business backing for new legislation is a foreign, if not completely counterintuitive, concept, and the strange bedfellows of the climate change issue have left many scratching their heads.
This is partly because climate change is not strictly an environmental issue. Instead, it is a multi-faceted problem, encompassing national security, international diplomacy, and most crucially for business, economic policy. On a fundamental level, the companies supporting climate and energy legislation have made a simple determination: the presence of a coherent national policy is better for the economy and their business than the status quo. Put another way, the absence of such a policy creates uncertainty, which is a hindrance to sustained economic growth and an obstacle to the development of new markets and business opportunities.
This brief lays out the business case for national climate and energy policy, and explains why leading companies have decided that legislation that limits GHG emissions is good for their industries. While the details of individual companies' policy positions will vary based on their own specific circumstances, broadly speaking there are three main reasons businesses support legislation that addresses climate change:
The need for regulatory certainty. Most companies understand that some form of climate policy is inevitable, but they do not know exactly what it will look like or what will be required of them. Today, when businesses look to the horizon they see an uneasy mix of evolving state and regional climate programs and burgeoning U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. It is unclear how these policy initiatives will unfold and interact with one another. This creates uncertainty, which hobbles business planning, especially for industries, such as electric utilities, that build and operate long-lived, capital-intensive assets. A clear, long-term, legislative framework for reducing GHG emissions would alleviate much of this uncertainty, allowing for more intelligent business planning.
The economic opportunities arising from climate solutions. Clean energy is projected to be one of the great global growth industries of the 21st century. Policy support can accelerate growth in these industries, and help U.S. companies compete against foreign firms that are quickly establishing dominant positions in these important markets.
The reputational benefits of supporting public policies that combat climate change. Customers, shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders are increasingly pushing companies to demonstrate social responsibility and environmental stewardship. For many companies, support for mandatory policies that promote clean energy, improve energy efficiency, and reduce GHG emissions has become an important plank in their broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) agendas.
Some companies are driven by all three of these reasons, while others are compelled by just one or two of them. Regardless of the specific reasons, one thing is clear: more companies today support climate legislation than ever before. Companies that make everything from computer chips to potato chips, search engines to jet engines, rubber tires to rubber soles, have publicly stated their support for legislation that caps carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (see "Leadership Ad" for a list of some of these companies). Trade associations representing electric utilities and auto manufacturers are on record supporting national climate policy. The remainder of this brief provides additional detail on why this is the case.
Can 6,000 Businesses All Be Crazy?
Listening to opponents of clean energy and climate legislation and their predictions of American economic ruin if we try to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, you could scarcely imagine that even one business would be crazy enough to support energy and climate policy. Yet today, a group of 60 leading organizations and businesses representing over $1.2 trillion in revenue and over 1 million American employees sent a letter to the President and the Senate proving that idea wrong. These groups collectively said:
"The time to act is now. The U.S. needs a comprehensive energy and climate policy that will get us back on track by creating American jobs in the new, low-carbon economy…We face a critical moment that will determine whether we will be able to unleash homegrown American innovation or remain stuck in the economic status quo. Much as the transcontinental railroad ushered in an unprecedented era of expansion, innovation and economic growth, the transition to a diversified clean energy economy offers extraordinary opportunities for environmental and economic rewards. Americans need and deserve a comprehensive energy and climate policy and we urge you to take action without delay…It's time for Democrats and Republicans to unite behind bipartisan, national energy and climate legislation that increases our security, limits emissions, and protects our environment while preserving and creating American jobs."

The Case for Action: Creating a Clean Energy Future
May 2010
The United States needs strong action now to reduce the risks of climate change, strengthen our energy independence, protect our national security, and create new jobs and economic opportunities. The Pew Center on Global Climate Change believes that the case for action has never been stronger. With a strong energy and climate policy the United States can lead the 21st century clean energy economy.
Conference Shines a Compact Fluorescent Spotlight on Energy Efficiency
Our corporate energy efficiency conference opened by answering the big question: What actions should businesses take to reduce energy use?
- Don't just set goals, set big hairy audacious ones even if you may not know exactly how to achieve them, asserted PepsiCo.
- Efficiency is done better together – you have to get all your business units moving forward on efficiency, advised IBM.
- Make the data visible – quarterly scorecards on efficiency measures lead to shared knowledge, clear measures against goals and the ability to hold leaders accountable and reward those who deliver results, suggested Dow Chemical.
- Show them the money – you need to show everyone from the board room to the boiler room that energy efficiency is good for business, stressed Toyota.
So how do you do all this? The solutions-oriented conference provided answers through panels covering the various components of corporate energy efficiency.
The conference marked the launch of our recent report, "From Shop Floor to Top Floor: Best Business Practices in Energy Efficiency" authored by William Prindle, Vice President of ICF International. Held April 6-7 in Chicago, the two-day conference brought together a diverse audience, including representatives of numerous companies with products ranging from software to soft drinks.
The conference was kicked off with presentations from six companies whose best practices in energy efficiency were highlighted in the report's case studies (Best Buy, Dow Chemical, IBM, PepsiCo, Toyota, and UTC). Subsequent panels examined issues such as overcoming financial barriers in pursuing energy efficiency projects, gaining senior level support for energy efficiency, engaging employees, suppliers and customers in energy efficiency efforts, and the challenges of gathering and reporting energy efficiency data.
In every panel session there was an abundance of questions, and lively discussions spilled out into the hallways during breaks. Panelists discussing financial barriers to energy efficiency were asked about building a financial case for employee engagement programs, PACE financing, and tradable energy efficiency certificates. Attendees had panelists pondering the idea of a best-of-the-best list within the joint U.S. DOE/U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR program and how to include supply chain efficiency metrics in labeling. How to keep employees engaged in energy efficiency measures and bringing suppliers into the fold were other key questions asked of conference panelists.
While the discussions mostly focused on what companies can do to be more energy efficient, the broader issue of climate change was not far from everyone's minds. Former Senator John Warner, a keynote speaker, was asked about the right message that would get Congress moving on climate change legislation. And keynotes John Rowe, CEO and Chairman of Exelon, and our President Eileen Claussen both noted that policy that puts a price on greenhouse gas emissions is essential to moving the United States to a low-carbon economy and addressing climate change.
Videos and presentations from the conference are available on our Web site.

Business-NGO Group Calls on Obama for Greater Consumer Access to Energy Data
A group of nearly 50 companies and organizations, including the Center, sent President Obama a letter this month asking the Administration to lead the way to providing all consumers access to their energy information. The April 5 letter calls for giving consumers access to this information via devices such as computers and phones; making it easier for them to monitor and manage their energy use.
With timely and actionable information on energy consumption, households and businesses can avoid inefficiencies that drive up consumer costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Through its Make an Impact program, we also works to weave sustainability and energy efficiency into the fabric of its partners' corporate culture. The program provides accessible information to employees and their communities on ways to reduce energy use, lower their carbon footprint, and save money. These savings can be significant: If every U.S. household saved 15% on its energy use by 2020, GHG savings would be equivalent to taking 35 million cars off the road and would save consumers $46 billion on their energy bills each year.
AT&T, GE, Google, Intel Seek White House Energy Push (InformationWeek, April 5, 2010)
Hoping to promote greater energy efficiency and to jump-start the nascent market for consumer energy monitoring technology, a group of 45 major companies and organizations -- including AT&T, GE, Google, Intel, and various advocacy, investment, and trade organizations -- on Monday asked President Obama in an open letter to promote greater consumer access to energy usage data.

From Shop Floor to Top Floor
From factory floors to corporate boardrooms, energy efficiency is top of mind for a growing number of businesses and their employees. Leading companies are pioneering new energy efficiency strategies that result in greater productivity, robust financial savings, and a lower carbon footprint. Today, we released a major study that examines key practices of a diverse collection of corporations at the vanguard of innovative energy efficiency solutions.
The report, From Shop Floor to Top Floor: Best Business Practices in Energy Efficiency, features insights from detailed research and analysis collected over nearly two years. The study represents the centerpiece of our Corporate Energy Efficiency Conference next week in Chicago.
From Shop Floor to Top Floor: Best Business Practices in Energy Efficiency
From Shop Floor to Top Floor: Best Business Practices in Energy Efficiency
April 2010
In the last decade, rising and volatile energy prices coupled with increasing concern about climate change and growing support for action on energy and environmental issues has driven a surge of corporate environmental commitments. Energy efficiency has emerged as a key component of these commitments. Leading firms that give greater attention to energy efficiency report billions of dollars in savings and millions of tons of avoided greenhouse gas emissions, according to Pew Center's report "From Shop Floor to Top Floor: Best Business Practices in Energy Efficiency." This report documents leading-edge energy efficiency strategies, describes best practices, and provides guidance and resources for other businesses seeking to reduce energy use in their internal operations, supply chains, and products and services.
The report was developed over nearly two years of effort, including a detailed survey of the Pew Center's Business Environmental Leadership Council (BELC) members and other leading companies, in-depth case studies of six companies, a series of workshops on key energy efficiency topics, broader research in the corporate energy field, and development of a full-featured Web portal to provide a platform for highlighting and updating key findings from the project as well as providing tools, resources, and other important information. The project was funded with generous support from Toyota.

Weyerhaeuser Joins USCAP
While opponents of a clean-energy economy try to frame both climate legislation and the US Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) as dead wood, today Weyerhaeuser—the multi-billion dollar forest products company—confounded those voices in announcing it has joined the USCAP coalition. The company has long had a commitment to address climate change, and it has been an active member of our Business Environmental Leadership Council for nearly twelve years.
This is more than a lone green shoot, as Weyerhaeuser joins an ever-growing chorus of companies calling for the U.S. economy to regain its competitive edge rather than let other countries corner the emerging global clean-energy market. Weyerhaeuser, like the 24 companies in USCAP, 46 companies in BELC, 65+ companies on the recent Wall Street Journal and Politico ad and the over 2600 companies in the American Business for Clean Energy Coalition, all understand that we can protect our natural resources and future generations from climate change, while creating American jobs, taking back control of our own energy future, and enhancing our national security.
The business community is leading on the issue—now we need the Senate to follow.

More Oklahomans are falling into the deadly grip of heroin
Oklahoma City drummer Michael Newberry played in bands and held a day job. He was married and had young children. Then he crossed paths with an addictive narcotic.
He describes the two years he was addicted to heroin as the worst years of his life.
Newberry first struggled with addiction to pain medicine. Then, when he couldn't buy prescription pills illegally on the streets, he found heroin was available in Oklahoma City.
"I was vulnerable. I went for it and it took me over. It consumed my life."
Newberry, 56, shoplifted to support his habit in the mid-1990s, and he was caught. He spent 30 days in jail. The jail stay and the use of methadone at a clinic helped him kick the heroin habit.
He's been clean 16 years, but there was a point he didn't think that was possible.
"On heroin I thought I was hopeless."
Heroin deaths are
on the rise in state
The deadly narcotic still lurks on the Oklahoma City streets today.
For decades heroin was smuggled into the United States from Southeast Asia, law officers said. Now it makes its way to Oklahoma from Mexican cartels, said Mark Woodward, spokesman for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control.
Heroin deaths are up in Oklahoma. The state medical examiner reported 20 deaths from heroin overdose in 2012, nearly double from 2011 when there were 11 deaths. Four deaths were reported in 2010.
Data is not yet available for 2013, spokeswoman Amy Elliott said.
Woodward said heroin is mass-produced in Southeast Asia, from poppy fields in Myanmar, Thailand and Laos. Smugglers once brought heroin to America on airplanes and ships, but tighter security has pushed the destination to Mexico, where heroin is then distributed north by Mexican drug cartels.
"We've really cracked down on ships and their cargo and on airplanes, especially since 9/11," Woodward said.
But with more than 21,000 vehicles entering the country from Mexico at just one El Paso, Texas, border crossing each day, smugglers easily get through and drive heroin north.
The same cartels distributing methamphetamine and marijuana continue to make heroin available in central Oklahoma, Woodward said. Heroin may go for $160 a gram in central Oklahoma, but $360 a gram in cities on the East Coast, he said.
The availability and demand in Oklahoma continues.
"We've arrested 18-year-old users who are unemployed to 40-year-old schoolteachers," Woodward said.
Thomas "Ty" Boone Pickens IV, the grandson of T. Boone Pickens, died in January of heroin overdose in an accidental death, Tarrant County, Texas, authorities reported.
Medical officials had to wait weeks to receive toxicology and other test results before announcing the cause of death for the 21-year-old junior at Texas Christian University.
'Don't go down
this path'
The focus for law officers continues to be the source, but state agents also put time into preventing drug use. Educating youths in schools about the dangers of drug use has to be a priority, Woodward said.
"We have to educate kids so they don't go down this path," he said.
Newberry has been heroin-free since April 1997. He has been remarried 10 years and continues to play drums in local bands while holding a regular job.
Heroin may seem fashionable to some musicians or celebrities, but it is far from glamorous, he said. Newberry contracted hepatitis C from using dirty needles to inject heroin.
"It's the price I have to pay for making the wrong choices in my life," Newberry said.
And the withdrawal "is terrible," but he did it. There is help out there for users, Newberry said.
"There is a way to get your addiction under control."


text: Photo Gallery Partial Eclipse "Preview": What You'll See Tomorrow Find out when and where to see Tuesday's partial solar eclipse, and get a glimpse of what lies in store for sky-watchers. PUBLISHED Wed Jan 05 14:04:00 EST 2011 0 1 / 6 Crescent Sun The moon appears to take a bite out of the sun over Manila in the Philippines during a partial solar eclipse in January 2009. Tomorrow sky-watchers in parts of Europe and Africa will be treated to a similar sight during the first of four partial solar eclipses slated to happen in 2011.Solar eclipses occur when Earth, the moon, and the sun are aligned so that—as seen from Earth—the moon appears to cover all or part of the sun's disk, and Earth is cast in shadow. Partial solar eclipses happen when Earth crosses only through the faint outer part of the moon's shadow, known as the penumbra.On Tuesday the moon's silhouette will start to move across the sun at 6:40 a.m. UT, when the penumbra hits Algeria. The last traces of the moon's outer shadow will cross northwest China at 11 a.m. UT.Find out more about tomorrow's solar eclipse >>With reporting by Andrew Fazekas Photograph by Aaron Favila, AP Eclipse's Path A composite picture shows the stages of a partial solar eclipse as it appeared over Spain's Bay of San Sebastian in October 1996.The amount of the solar disk hidden by the moon during a partial eclipse depends on how far an observer is inside the penumbral shadow. For Tuesday's partial eclipse, many capital cities across Europe and the Middle East will see more than 50 percent of the sun eaten away by the moon. (See pictures of last month's total lunar eclipse.)"The farther north you are in Europe, the more of the sun you will see covered," said eclipse chaser and astronomer Alan Dyer of the Telus World of Science in Calgary, Canada.At maximum eclipse—at 8:50 a.m. UT—the moon will blot out 85 percent of the sun, as seen from Scandinavian countries. Photograph by Juan Carlos Casado, TWAN Celestial Symbol A bird sitting on top of a crescent moon and star—the symbol of Islam—is silhouetted against a 2009 partial solar eclipse over Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The picture appears dark because it was taken through a special filter.To safely look directly at the sun requires filter-protected glasses or telescopes. But there are easy alternatives for observing an eclipse. For example, eclipse expert and National Geographic grantee Jay Pasachoff suggests making a simple pinhole camera. (The National Geographic Society owns National Geographic News.)"Just punch a hole a few millimeters across in a piece of cardboard and hold it up to sunlight, and look at the image that it casts with the sun at your back," Pasachoff said. "You should easily be able to see the shape of the partially eclipsed sun." Photograph by Bazuki Muhammad, Reuters Sunset Eclipse People watch the setting sun from Manila Bay in the Philippines during a 2009 partial solar eclipse.For some regions of Europe, tomorrow's partial eclipse happening so close to sunrise means that a crescent sun may greet sky-watchers at dawn. And a sunset eclipse will be visible farther east, from central Russia to Mongolia. North America will not see any portion of tomorrow's eclipse. Photograph by Gil Nartea, AFP/Getty Images Winking Sun An image of the sun resembles a winking eye in the shadow of a pair of bifocals during an annular eclipse over India in January 2010. In addition to partial eclipses, a given year may see two other types of solar eclipses: total and annular.During a total eclipse, the moon completely blots out the sun, casting its dark central shadow, called the umbra, onto a very narrow strip along Earth's surface. (See pictures of the most recent total solar eclipse, over Easter Island.) An annular eclipse happens when the moon covers only the central part of the sun's disk, leaving a ring of sunlight still visible.This year will be unusual, because there will be no total or annular eclipses, just partials, said Pasachoff, the Field Memorial Professor of Astronomy at Williams College in Massachusetts."That hasn't happened since 1982 and won't happen again until 2029," he said. Photograph by Aijaz Rahi, AP Eclipse, Interrupted A 2009 partial solar eclipse is partly obscured by clouds, as seen from Manila Bay in the Philippines.Watching an eclipse, even a partial one, is an opportunity to witness the ongoing cycles of our solar system, Telus's Dyer said. (Also see "Ancient Eclipse Found in The Odyssey, Scientists Say.")"Though we can predict eclipses with astonishing accuracy, they are created by forces far beyond our control," he said. "Eclipses remind us of our place in the universe."

Two weeks after this month's torrential rains, dozens of homeowners in Momence Township along the Kankakee River continue their struggle to recover from the flooding. Located about 50 miles south of Chicago in Kankakee County and bordering the Indiana state line, residents live in mildewing homes without working toilets. Cats have taken to rooftops because their owners have abandoned waterlogged homes.
Resident Rich Cole estimates it will cost about $60,000 for home repairs. Michael Lofu says he's still trying to keep flood water out of his house. The Kankakee River remains more than two feet above flood stage. Streets are flooded and some residents have to park their cars a half mile from their homes.

CAMAS — In a matchup of teams with perfect league records Saturday, Prairie proved an immutable truth: When it comes to girls basketball in the Class 3A Greater St. Helens League, the Falcons' toughest competition is against themselves.
"We're very happy," senior Heather Corral said after a 65-35 win at Camas. "Our goal is to find something to focus on every game and try to improve. We were really trying to focus on post defense tonight."
The Falcons moved to 4-0 in league play and showed that there is plenty of distance between them and the rest of the 3A GSHL. Facing a team that had wins its first four league contests, Prairie built a 25-5 lead by the end of the first quarter.
Not that it was easy.
The Falcons trailed 1-0 after nearly four minutes. But a rebound basket by Kelsey Asplund got Prairie on the scoreboard, and a three-point play and 3-point shot by Corral fueled a 10-0 run over a span of 52 seconds.
In the second quarter, the Falcons extended the lead to 34-5 before scaling back their pressure defense. By the end of the half, it was 38-11 and Corral had 12 points, three rebounds, seven assists, and five steals.
She finished with 18 points, while Cori Woodward had 13 and Jackie Lanz added 12.
"She's making steady progress and getting back into the flow of it," coach Al Aldridge said of Corral, a 6-foot-1 senior point guard. "It hasn't been easy for her."
Corral, who has signed with the University of Washington, missed the end of last season with a torn knee ligament. She didn't play in the state tournament as the Falcons reached the title game.
Camas steadied itself in the second half, outscoring Prairie 14-12 in the third quarter after finishing the first half with two field goals and 17 turnovers.
"I thought we competed better in the second half," coach Chuck Knight said. "Of course, they didn't press, and we hadn't handled that well.
"Last year, when we played them the first time and took it on the chin, that had a lingering effect on us. I don't think that will happen with this group."
Still, there were lessons to be learned for Prairie, the state's top-ranked 3A team according to The Seattle Times.
"I was really pleased with our defensive intensity for the most part," Aldridge said. "But we were kind of addressing the letdown and the importance of not letting that happen, of playing 32 minutes instead of 26."
PRAIRIE — Lindsay Asplund 0, Cori Woodward 13, Heather Corral 18, Kelsey Asplund 4, Nicole Goecke 2, Emily Peters 0, Megan Lindsley 10, Andrea Smith 6, Jackie Lanz 12. Totals 26 (5) 8-10 65.
CAMAS — Paige Jackson 0, Sierra Brown 4, Sydney Allen 8, Kathryn Johnson 0, Brenna Khaw 1, Lauren Neff 8, Kendra Preuninger 0, Tatum Schroeder 0, Jenka Stiasna 14. Totals 14 (0) 7-11 35.

Bryan Thomas
As a graduate of the National Personal Training Institute in Lakewood, CO, Bryan has been exposed to clients of all walks of life. In the past 10 years, he's found his niche in helping others to lose weight and keep it off. After an 80 pound weight loss of his own, he not only knows what it's like to be uncomfortable with where you're at, but how to get to where you want to be.
Bryan's philosophy is simple, "You don't need more, you need better." Too often we go through the motions trying to get results, and too often we fall short of our own expectations. When looking at any health or fitness goal, there may be a multitude of paths to get there, so let's choose the one that's right for you.

Why take supplemental calcium?
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body
Calcium isn't just necessary for healthy bones - it's also required for healthy blood circulation' nerve impulse transmission' muscle contractions' and cell metabolism.
Research has also demonstrated that calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis
Osteoporosis affects middle aged and older persons. A lifetime of regular exercise and a healthy diet that includes calcium builds and maintains good bone health and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. Daily intakes above 2'000 mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit to bone health.
Most diets don't meet the body's need for calcium
Most Americans above the age of 9 don't get the calcium they need through diet alone. Supplementation with a readily absorbable calcium that combines magnesium and vitamin D can help fill the nutritional gaps often seen in the average diet.
Why take Liquid Calcium Magnesium?
Your body absorbs this supplement easily
Liquid Calcium Magnesium features a highly concentrated' bioavailable form of calcium plus magnesium in a 1:1 Calcium/Magnesium ratio.
Provides synergistic bone-enhancing nutrients.
Liquid Calcium Magnesium also includes vitamin D and boron for maximum bone health support.
Great for all ages
This pleasant-tasting' vegetarian alternative to large tablets or capsules is recommended for adults and children alike. Plus' it has the same great taste from the first delicious spoonful to the last!

Excellent Product!
I hadn't used Liquid Calcium Magnesium by Enzymatic Therapy for a while and it just arrived a couple days.. A doctor told me to use it for bowel regulating!
It usually works pretty fast.
I have to use at least 3 tablespoons for it to work..

Really works well!
This was my first time ordering Liquid Calcium Magnesium by Enzymatic Therapy with PureFormulas. Most Calcium in liquid form, I have found, have a bad after taste, not this Calcium. I was told by my Doctor, who ordered a Bone Density, to take Calcium on a daily basis, as I was already showing bone loss. I am unable to take this in pill form, so I have looked for a pleasant liquid form and this is it. My Bone Density is now normal thanks to daily doses of Calcium.
I like the ease of use, the ingredients, the taste and the fact that my Bone Density is now normal. Before using Calcium daily, my Bone Density was not normal, and I was on my way to developing Osteoporosis, according to my Doctor. Getting ready to order another bottle.
Really, there is nothing to dislike about this great product, highly recommend this to anyone who asks.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Tastes great!
Liquid Calcium Magnesium by Enzymatic Therapy is an easy way to get extra calcium and magnesium. The taste is the best yet that I've tried and my child has no problem taking it plain. No more having to hide it in smoothies because of the bad taste!
Taste and price.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

I'm new to the forum so I apologize for abruptly asking a price question but it seems like somewhere people know their stuff.
2003 Orbea Euskaltel Road Bike (55cm).
Im not using this as a way to sell but so you can see pics and
ORBEA Euskaltel Road Bike 55cm | eBay
Triple butted 6000 Aluminium frame with ZEUS ZICCS Road Bike Carbon Blades Fork and seat tubes.
Brakes and front derailleur are Shimano Ultegra, and the back derailleur is Shimano Tiarga.
The chain set and crank are Shimano Ultegra SG-X 53-B
Pedals are Shimano R540 SPD-SL Road pedals
I bought this as an entry level tri-bike which worked very well with a set of tri bars on it. I bought it at a good price, and compared to some of the prices out there now, Id consider the asking price to be really fair.
Bought second hand from a bike team in Illinois in 2012 who used it as a spare bike on tours. It seemed almost unused at the time.
Having done several time trials and triathlons on this, its really light and fast with no flex. Preferable for everyday use to a show pony full carbon in my opinion.
Great condition overall. Nothing broken or wearing.
The cross bar has 3 or 4 cosmetic dents from a car trunk, not noticeable. If your serious about buying, shoot me an email and Ill peel off the plasti-dip on those to show the dents.
The bike has been plasti-dip'd in black so it wont stand out so much when parked in public.
This will come off by simply pulling at it by finger tip. 5 mins would have it completely removed.
The plastic top tips of the brake hands are rough. See pic.
Great condition overall. Nothing broken or wearing.
Replacing as its a size too small for me and bought another Orbea already.
Any ideas on a price? Ball park even?

The following is a guest post by Alan Cassels, a drug policy researcher at the University of Victoria. Alan was founder of Media Doctor Canada, a project very similar to our HealthNewsReview.org, but a project that is unfortunately on the shelf for now.
Life might be looking up for 23andMe, the worlds largest dataset of personal DNA, especially when the worlds biggest pharmaceutical companies start sniffing around looking for business.
A recent post in FierceBiotech, an online blog focusing on the biotech industry, pointed out how 23andMe was raising venture capital from the pharmaceutical and the biotech industry, hoping to sometime land in the black.
Huh? This company, which managed to convince more than 150,000 people with $100 burning a hole in their pockets to send them their money and their saliva in exchange for their genetic horoscope, hasnt made any profit yet.
What gives?
Surely providing personal genetic profiles (so people can learn deep dark secrets of their ancestral past or their lifetime likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes), is worth a lot? Apparently not, but it will be after the DNA in all that spit is repackaged and held up as bait to the drug companies.
One shouldnt shout Kaching! yet. The operative word here is valorization, a Marxist term meaning the use or application of something (an object, process or activity) so that it makes money, or generates value. (see Wikipedia) In other words, the thing in question proves its worth when it yields profitsand has been thus valorized.
Hence 23andMes humongous dataset is heading for valorization when it gets married to pharmas research and marketing muscle. The goal being, in 23andMes words to, "empower people to take control of their health destinies rather than becoming slaves to the healthcare system."
Yet maybe instead of being slaves to the healthcare system we, the unwashed masses desperately craving a gaze into our own DNA-crystal ball, will find ourselves a new master. As 23andMe starts valorizing all that spit theyve collected, and the vast mine of DNA information is quarried for even the tiniest of nuggets, itll be noodled and warped into very attractive patentable products and sold back to us.
Signals of this future arrived last May when 23andME apparently got a patent for the discovery of a gene that might protect a person from getting Parkinson's disease. Were talking mega-valorization here. Now with a target for drug development and a potential drug in the pipeline, plus the patent for the Parkinsons test, 23andMe will profit from both the test and the drug. Dont question the ethics of this kind of thingbecause ethics have nothing to do with it. Its all about business and cold hard cash. And your destiny.
Now you can say it, twice: Kaching! Kaching!
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address. We will also end any thread of repetitive comments. We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it. Please see more on our comments policy.
I'm more concerned with the source of genetic material within their database. if they're the new go-to database for drug development, the biases in the incoming genetic information will skew their database's representativeness. If few poor people have an extra $100 to get their genes tested, then they'll be underrepresented in the data. Sure, we'll find genes to protect against Parkinsons in a database of the genes of elite white Americans, but what about malarial protection? It ain't gonna be useful unless it's representative.

By individualizing each client's plan of care, including closely collaborating with other health care providers to incorporate their unique areas of expertise, she was able to make a profound difference in the lives of families in need – "there is so much a committed case manager can do to provide assistance, direction, and support for a client's wide range of healthcare needs."
