PULLMAN, Wash. - On a night when the Colorado Buffaloes' offense came and went, their constant was defense - and it carried them to their second Pac-12 Conference victory and first of the season on the Pac-12 road.
Grinding and grinding, CU finally ground down Washington State 58-49 Saturday night at half-full (5,418) Beasley Coliseum.
After his team's pregame meal, Buffs coach Tad Boyle told his players that the "hungrier, tougher team" would win Saturday night - and the Buffs proved to be both. "I'm proud of our team for doing whatever it took," Boyle said. "That's one of the things we talked about before the game - whatever it takes. And our guys did it."
Now at 2-4 in the Pac-12 (12-6 overall) and coming home for a pair of games, the Buffs avoided sliding into a hole they might have had great difficulty exiting. "Who knows what would have happened (with a loss)," said sophomore guard Askia Booker. "I don't know if our heads would have gotten down or if we would have picked ourselves up. But I know this was a big win."
CU survived a cold-shooting final 6:15 of the first half and fell behind by four points early in the second half. But, noted Boyle, "We didn't panic, which I thought was a sign of maturity with this team. They took the lead, but we bowed our backs and made some plays offensively when we had to. Then defensively, we were good all night. We wanted to dictate with our defense and I think our guys did a good job for the most part."
In fact, the Buffs were good on 'D' for a second consecutive night. Although they lost on Wednesday at Washington (64-54), they held the Huskies to 33.9 percent from the field. CU held WSU to 34.5 percent, and the Cougars' 29.6 field goal percentage was the lowest by a CU opponent this season at halftime.
CU junior Andre Roberson was largely responsible for limiting Brock Motum - the Pac-12's second-leading scorer (19.4 ppg) - to a season-low 13 points. "People will look at Andre's numbers (four points, seven rebounds) and say he didn't have a good game," Boyle said. "But he was terrific on Motum. He made him work for everything he got."
Five Cougars, including Motum, had been in double figures in the previous game - a 10-point win over Utah. But Motum and Mike Ladd, who also scored 13, were the only WSU players in double figures Saturday night for the Cougars (10-8, 1-4).
CU, meanwhile, got 16 points from Spencer Dinwiddie, 14 off the bench from Xavier Johnson and 11 from Josh Scott. Booker hit only three of his 11 field goal attempts and finished with seven points, but two of his field goals were at critical second-half junctures when the Buffs were keeping the Cougars at bay.
"I think we made plays when we had to make plays," Boyle said. "That's what you have to do, especially on the road. We've got some guys who are much better than the way they've been playing . . . at the end of the day, when you're playing on the road and it's a tight game, you've got to have your best players step up - and I think that happened."
Johnson, who had started in Seattle, wound up playing 20 minutes and, along with Scott, was critical in Boyle's game plan of working the Cougars inside. The Buffs wound up winning the battle in the paint 32-24 and on the boards 36-32. Johnson's 14 points helped CU's bench outscore WSU's 20-11. Against UW, CU managed only three bench points.
Johnson, a 6-6 freshman, said CU's offense was erratic three nights earlier in Seattle: "At Washington, the offense didn't come that well, but in this game we got a little more motion going on and our ball movement and spacing were creating easy shots for us. But the thing that kept us in this game was defense."
Boyle called Johnson's night "terrific . . . he gave us big minutes. I think he's starting to come into his own a little bit. We know what Josh gives us, and Spencer was efficient but he's capable of playing better. We've got a lot of guys who are capable of playing better, but when you win on the road you've got to take it and move on."
Dinwiddie buried the Buffs' only three-pointer of the night - they are now 2-for-19 from beyond the arc in their last two games - but it came in the final 6 minutes when the Cougars were trying to rally. That shot restored a five-point CU lead, and he followed with a pair of free throws at the 4:37 mark for another five-point margin.
The Buffs led 23-19 at halftime, but it took a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Will DiIorio to get the Cougars that close. After a 9-9 tie, CU went ahead by as many as seven point on four occasions during the half's final 6:15.
Among Boyle's Saturday night goal for the Buffs was to be more selective in their shot selection and move the ball like they've shown they're capable of in practice. CU was hit-and-miss in both areas, with the offense bogging down at times and the Buffs playing their second consecutive game without a three-pointer in the opening 20 minutes.
In fact, CU finished the half's final 6:15 without a field goal, getting four of four free throws from Scott and one of two from Johnson to maintain their seven-point lead until DiIorio's late trey.
The Cougars outscored the Buffs 7-2 in the second half's first 31/2 minutes and regained the lead (26-25) for the first time since 9-7. Then, five consecutive points from Royce Woolridge allowed WSU to take its largest advantage (31-27) of the night.
The Buffs desperately needed a field goal - and Johnson provided a pair to pull them within one point (32-31). A fast-break layup by Dinwiddie pushed CU back ahead by one, setting up what appeared would be a back-and-forth final 10 minutes. It was - for maybe a minute and a half.
Booker, who had two first-half points on one-for-five shooting, hit a jumper to pull the Buffs into a 37-37 tie, Dinwiddie followed with a traditional three-point play, then Booker buried another jumper for a 42-37 CU advantage.
Booker said he was able to maintain his confidence because his teammates and Boyle maintained their confidence in him: "When coach says he wants you to make a play with seven seconds left on the shot clock, it makes you feel good."
WSU had 7:21 remaining to make up its five-point deficit, but could get no closer than three points in the final 5 minutes. CU increased its lead to 11 (58-47) on two free throws by Roberson with 28.3 seconds to play, allowing the Buffs to finally feel safe about a rare road win.
CU comes home next week to play Stanford (Thursday, 8 p.m.) and California (Sunday, 1:30 p.m.) before traveling to Utah the following Saturday to open February.

Holdin' the Line in '09
This map shows the most common response to our outlook survey by EPA region.
This table shows the most common response to our outlook survey by department budget.
We asked readers how operations (O&M) and capital improvement (CIP) budgets this year compare to 2008 levels.
When it comes to budgeting, no one needs a crystal ball more than a manager-level government employee trying to eke more life out of old assets or plan a major upgrade.
As recently as August, the Commerce Department reported that record construction spending by all levels of government was picking up the economic slack left in the wake of the slowest residential market in decades. But just a few months later, the management consulting and investment banking firm FMI predicted cutbacks of 5% to 10% for 2009 municipal budgets, and the American Institute of Architects' billing index reached its lowest levels in years.
Guessing how U.S. foreign policy may affect oil prices and, in turn, basic expenses like asphalt and electricity, is always a shot in the dark. But who could have predicted a perfect trifecta — the highest oil prices, largest decline in property and sales tax revenues, and toughest credit market in years — would converge to throw a wrench into short- and long-term plans? Accustomed to all manner of crises, financial and otherwise, PUBLIC WORKS readers re-evaluated their options and found ways to move projects forward.
Let's consider what a public works director in the Western United States faced last fall, a scenario no doubt familiar to many readers.
Located in Montana's fastest-growing county, Bozeman offers excellent skiing, access to Yellowstone National Park, and is home to Montana State University. To accommodate growth, the city designed a wastewater plant upgrade to increase treatment capacity from 5.8 mgd to 8.5 mgd.
When opened in October, bids on the $49 million construction phase were 34% to 64% higher than estimated. Unable to postpone because of permit requirements and excessive organic loadings, the city did a cost/benefit reanalysis and devised a new plan of attack: narrow the project's scope, raise rates, and borrow more money.
The city decided to forgo dewatering capability and rebid construction of a new administration building instead of making it part of the overall project. Future rate increases will be in the neighborhood of 10% instead of 2%. Still, the city must borrow 58% more from the state's revolving loan fund than originally anticipated.
"We're hardly dead in the water," says Public Services Director Debra Arkell. "We're still seeing building activity, but growth isn't what we'd experienced over the last several years. We were banking on it continuing at 5% to 6%, and for impact fees to defray more of the cost than they will now. We also anticipated moving right from the first to the second phase of the project, but now that probably won't be necessary."
So the mood was grim in early November when we asked readers to share their spending expectations for the year. Overall, operating and capital budgets are consistent with 2008 levels. When we asked the same questions in November 2007, readers reported an overall increase for maintenance and consistent funding levels for 2008 capital improvement programs.
As always since launching our annual "outlook" survey with the January 2005 issue, we heard from men and women whose operations provide virtually any type of infrastructure-related service a city, county, state, or special district can think to provide. In addition to streets, roads, and bridges; drinking water; wastewater and stormwater; fleets; solid waste; grounds, buildings, and rights of way; and engineering and/or planning, feedback came from managers involved in animal control, public transit, and electric utilities.

2013 UCLA Final Statistics | Postgame Press Conference
BOSTON - The No. 3 UCLA women's water polo team captured third place at the NCAA Tournament with a 13-8 win over sixth-ranked Hawai'i on Sunday afternoon at Harvard's Blodgett Pool in Boston. Freshman Rachel Fattal led the Bruins with four goals and was named to the First Team NCAA Water Polo All-Tournament Team. She was the only Bruin named to the All-Tournament Teams.
UCLA ended its 2013 season with an overall record of 28-7. Hawai'i dropped to 22-11. UCLA is now 51-8 all-time in postseason play and 28-5 in NCAA Championship competition.
"This is always a difficult game to play in," UCLA Head Coach Brandon Brooks said. "I thought my team did great. Emotionally and mentally, this game is much harder than it is physically. I thought we came to the game ready to play, which is good."
Sophomore Maddy McLaren then had a cross-cage score to tie it at 2-2 with 3:44 left in the first period. The Bruins reclaimed the lead off a great pass from Sami Hill as sophomore Danielle Ferraro had a nice drive and score at the 1:52 mark. Eggens quickly completed a hat trick with a penalty shot (1:38) to knot it at 3-3. But Fattal would score her first on a power play skip shot (1:01) to give the Bruins a 4-3 lead at the end of the first period.
Junior Kelly Ronimus opened the second period with a cross-cage power play goal to push the lead to 5-3 at the 6:41 mark. But Hawai'i would come storming back to take a 6-5 lead with three unanswered goals. Emily Carr had a nice one-timer on a 6-on-5 opportunity (6:01) then Caity Lopes da Silva scored on a counter attack nearside low corner (4:14). Eggens scored her fourth of the game on a penalty shot with 2:04 left in the second quarter. Then junior Becca Dorst evened the score at 6-6 (1:18) with a rebound shot off a power play shot by Donohoe. Fattal then gave the Bruins a 7-6 lead heading into halftime, with an exclusion goal with 15 seconds remaining in the first half.
"In the first half, nerves were in play," Hill said. "It is a really hard game to play after coming back from last night, having a hard game against Stanford. I think reading the defense and being where we were supposed to be in the second half was really helpful."
Freshman India Forster gave the Bruins an 8-6 lead after she scored a power play goal off a nice feed from Fattal with 6:05 left in the third period. Then Dorst scored the eventual game-winning goal when she made a powerful move at two meters, beating a double team, to put the Bruins up 9-6 (4:07). Amarens Genee cut the lead to 9-7 with a power play goal at the 3:23 mark of the third. But Ronimus fed Donohoe with a perect cross-pool pass and Donohoe had a great catch and finish to put the Bruins up 10-7 (2:31) to end the scoring in the third period.
Fattal opened the fourth on a power play strike with a defender in her grill, completing a hat trick, and giving the Bruins an 11-7 lead (7:27). Then senior Gisselle Naranjo drew a penalty shot and Fattal converted it for her fourth score of the game as UCLA led 12-7 with 5:29 remaining. Another freshman, Alexa Tielmann, scored for the Bruins with 1:31 to go as Hawai'i pulled its goalie on a power play. After a stop by the Bruins, Tielmann's shot from distance trickled into the goal with a couple of waves. Zoe Respondek ended the scoring at 13-8 with a long-distance lob shot over Hill with :03 on the clock.
"We had good attempts yesterday and today we had the same," Fattal said. "But today we finished our shots, which is always key."
Hill, a redshirt sophomore, played the entire game in goal for UCLA and recorded 13 saves. Amy Carlson also played the entire game in goal for Hawai'i and was credited with nine saves.
UCLA was stellar on power plays, shooting 6-for-7 while Hawai'i was 4-for-9 on its 6-on-5 opportunities. Both teams scored twice on penalty shots, going 2-for-2.
Donohoe led UCLA in scoring in 2013 with 70 goals, which tied for third in UCLA history. Kelly Rulon scored 70 goals during the 2005, 2006 and 2007 seasons. Fattal was second on the squad with 68 goals, which ranks seventh in school history. Hill ended up crushing the UCLA saves record with 314 this season, which was 50 more than Caitlin Dement recorded during the 2010 campaign (264).
"Coming into this year, this team had a lot of questions as to who was going to play what roles and where people were going to fit in," Brooks said. "We lost a few players along the way to injury and circumstances and this team battled forward and grew a lot. We play 12-13 people and seven of them plus a goalie are underclassmen. So to be clearly the third-best team in the country is solid moving forward. I think next year and the year's after that, we will be very very good, which is where we expect to be."

Story Courtesy of Mercyhurst Sports Information
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Senior
captain Meghan Agosta scored three goals to
top 300 points for her career, as the No. 3 / 4 Mercyhurst College
women's hockey team rallied to defeat Syracuse 5-4 and capture its
ninth straight College Hockey America title Saturday afternoon at
the Tennity Ice Pavilion.
Agosta, who was named the tournament's most valuable player for scoring three goals and dishing out two assists, became the first player in the NCAA-era to top the 300-point mark as she rallied the Lakers from two goals down in a rematch of last year's CHA title game.
Despite getting outshot 13-3 in the first period, Syracuse made the most of its shots by scoring two goals on its first two attempts on the power play. Stefanie Marty gave the designated visiting team an early 1-0 lead when her shot from the blueline sailed through traffic and into the back of the net at 4:00. Margot Scharfe then expanded the score to 2-0, taking a cross-crease feed from Holly Carrie-Mattimoe and knocking it home at 14:39.
Mercyhurst came back in a hurry in the second period thanks to back-to-back goals by Agosta. On the power play, Agosta made it a one-goal deficit with her first of the game, her 299th career point, when she picked off a pass in front of the net and sniped it past goaltender Kallie Billadeau with 9:55 to play. She then made history with her 300th career point after senior assistant captain Jesse Scanzano's face-off win was kicked out to her for a quick one-timer less than three minutes later at 12:10.
Isabel Menard restored the lead for Syracuse at 14:05, but a perfectly set up deflection by senior assistant captain Vicki Bendus on the doorstep knotted the score at three with 30 seconds to play in the second.
Both teams skated up and down the ice in the third, with Mercyhurst streching its lead to two on goals 21 seconds part nearing the midway point. Junior Bailey Bram gave the top-seeded Lakers their first lead of the game, at 4-3, on an unassisted play in front of the net at 8:55, while Agosta completed her hat trick with the eventual game-winner at 9:16, sneaking a shot from the left circle to the far post.
SU's Julie Rising made it a one-goal deficit at 11:21 when she netted the team's fourth extra-man goal at 11:21.
Syracuse looked to gain the equalizer in the final minutes but the Mercyhurst defense coupled with a late holding call on the Orange lifted the Lakers to their 10th overall conference title dating back to their days in the Great Lakes Women's Hockey Association.
For the game, Mercyhurst outshot Syracuse 46-19 and got 15 saves from junior Hillary Pattenden, who improved to 27-5-0. The Lakers also converted 2-for-6 on the power play while SU finished 4-for-8 with the man-advantage.
The Lakers (29-5-0) will now await word from the NCAA selection committee to see if they are selected for the 2011 NCAA Women's Hockey Championship Tournament. The eight-team field will be released Sunday, Mar. 6, at 6:30 p.m. during a live webcast on ncaasports.com.

The show, in it's 13th year, is a Salt Lake City Halloween staple for many. The fright-inspired dance compilation has even developed somewhat of a cult following and has received 'Best of State' awards. Read More

Elvis Presley is the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. He rose from humble circumstances to launch the rock and roll revolution with his commanding voice and charismatic stage presence. In the words of the historical marker that stands outside the house where he was born: "Presley's career as a singer and entertainer redefined popular music."
Beginning in 1954, Presley recorded five ground-breaking singles for Sun Records. His contract was then sold to RCA Records, and his career really took off. Presley's hip-shaking performances on a series of TV variety shows, including Ed Sullivan's, generated hysteria and controversy. From blistering rockers to aching balladry, Presley captivated and liberated the teenage audience. His historic string of hits in 1956 and '57 included "Don't Be Cruel," "Hound Dog," "Love Me Tender," "All Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock." After a stint in the Army, Presley occupied himself with movie-making and soundtrack-recording during much of the Sixties. His acclaimed 1968 TV special was followed by some of his most mature work. Recording in Memphis, he cut such classic tracks as "In the Ghetto, "Suspicious Minds" and "Kentucky Rain." Presley toured constantly during the Seventies, performing to capacity crowds around the country until his death. Presley died of a heart attack at Graceland, his Memphis mansion, on August 16, 1977.
Statistically, Presley holds records for the most Top 40 hits (107), the most Top 10 hits (38), the most consecutive Number One hits (10) and the most weeks at Number One (80). Elvis Presley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
This custom-built, three-wheeled motorcycle was one of three that were owned and driven by Elvis Presley. All were ordered at the same time. It features a 65bhp 1600cc Volkswagen engine.view artifact

The name sounds like a celebration: Cake. And owner Katie Monroe intends that the experience of shopping in her boutique should be like the best party: Fun and fabulous.
"I think that we truly adore our customers and it shows," says Monroe. "We love being a part of their lives through fashion. It's so much fun to find out that a top was perfect for that special date or that a sundress worked fabulously for that beach holiday. Our genuine excitement to help style our customers is, I believe, the reason we have such a strong and loyal following at Cake."
Monroe views the recent economic downturn as an opportunity to learn how to better serve her customers. "We never want to 'sell' our customers on a trend or an item of clothing," she says. "Quite simply, we want the women who shop in our store to look great and feel confident, and we believe that our clothing will help get you there."
As part of her mission to provide the utmost in ease and convenience in fashion shopping, Monroe has put a lot of time and energy into the store's website, shopcakeboutique.com, to make it a true extension of Cake, providing the same kind of personal service and contemporary style for online customers as the shop does for in-store shoppers.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buzzbee Niederegger Great chocolate, especially the marzipan one! Please stock more in actual stores, more varieties, carry all year round. January 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by minou9 Oh, this is THE best! This is an exquisite blend of true European bittersweet chocolate and marzipan. Even though Cost Plus carries marzipan candies year round, it's at Christmas-time that their selection is expanded and I go nuts scooping up all the different dark chocolate/marzipan bars. There's also a fine variety of flavors available for those who are not into dark or bittersweet. November 10, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by izza the lizza Marzipan NOT Marzipan Bars I like the bars. Both the chocolate and the marzipan were delicious. However, I've learned that the marzipan bars have far more chocolate than marzipan. Therefore, I prefer the marzipan loaves. February 26, 2011

Here is a picture of a mini-14 with a 40 round magazine. I got it from Perfect Union. The reason I did that is, because I got to wondering if anybody here thinks that such large capacity magazines are necessary? I have one 30 round aftermarket mag and a number of after market and Ruger factory 20 round mags. I really believe that the 20 round mag will serve for my uses. Although I do have a number of 30 rounders for my AK47.
Opinions, please?

It's a raw, vegan protein powder that is actually silky smooth. Goes fantastically well in all kind of smoothies and I have experience more muscle gain and fat burn using this supplement than any whey protein on the market (and I have used over 6 different whey protein brands in the past). Try this for a fantastic after workout smoothie: 1.5 scoops of the powder (I use chocolate); 4-6 oz almond milk (or handful or raw almonds crushed); 2 oz water; + 1 tbsp Maca; 1 tbsp flaxseed; 1 tbsp chia seed; 1 banana; 4 dates. Blend till smooth, yumm!
Proteins, containing over 20 amino acids, are neces sary in our daily life. Protein is needed for our body to create and repair muscle tis sue which can help to burn more fats and improve athletic performance. Individually, each amino acid has their distinct benefits for our body. Most people consume too much animal meat these days and meat is a very poor source for protein due to poor absorption by our body. If the animal comes from conventional farm factory, this comes with a lot of toxics such growth hormone, antibiotics, medication etc. That makes this product very special. This is definitely one of the very best plant protein powders in the market! Firstly, it is raw which means that important nutrients like vitamin, enzymes are not destroyed by any heat. Secondly, the protein is breakdown using enzymatic bio fermentation and does not use chemical, acid hydrolysis or any harsh methods giving it 98.2% as similation. Animal protein has only 10-20% as similation and costs much than plant protein. Thirdly, it is 100% plant based, making it suitable for vegetarians. It is alkaline forming which comes as a surprise. All animal protein or animal sourced proteins (whey) are highly acidic and disrupt our body pH value. This is important because our body neutralise the acid by either drawing out calcium from our bones or breaking down our muscle to form ammonia (counterproductive if you plan to build muscle). Next, this product is hypoallergenic. It is rich in natural vitamins, minerals and comes without synthetic vitamins commonly added to food. The amino acids also act as a carrier and increased absorption for nutrients present. Lastly, it is non-gmo and free of chemicals. All junk protein powder contains high sugar level, artificial sweeteners (even worse than sugar), preservatives, flow agents, fillers, artificial colouring and favoring, high amount of synthetic vitamin, is acidic, contains allergens like milk, soy, and many others! Luckily, none of those junks are in this product. As for the taste, it tastes like slightly diluted chocolate drink. It's not too sweet, making it good for mixing with other powders. Personally, I take 2 scoops with 3 teaspoon of maca (superfood). Maca tastes quite sweet so the taste complements each other. The combination tastes somewhat like soy milk (surprise!) and I use it as a meal replacement. The powder is chalky, smooth and mix really well. Let's look at the downsides. The product is not organic. I don't mind since it is raw sprouted and probably free of chemical and pesticide. Since the product only uses brown rice as the base for protein, the amino acid profile is highly unlikely to be complete. For example, rice is low in lysine which may limit the absorption of other amino acids in long term. This should not be a problem if you have other protein sources. The price is reasonable for the quality you are paying for! Check out my page for more reviews!
Tasteful and healthy

Great taste, perfect balanced ingredients and gluten, lactose and soya free, love it!
Good but too sweet
Posted by Reviewer3181481 on May 07, 2016
I found this powder to be quite tasty but, like a lot of other people, too sweet. I hope the manufacturer pays attention to the reviews and reduces the amount of stevia. Tastes almost like aspartame.
very good
Posted by 4895744981820403321 on Apr 26, 2015
the taste, the texture (considering that all rice protein is kind of sandy, but this one is very soft)....this protein is wonderful, i love it.
Tastes great + no no ill side effects

Tastes terrible
Posted by 5117244236059888063 on Feb 11, 2015
It tastes TERRIBLE. Seems that you are drink sand. When you mix with fruit it tastes a bit less terrible. I got so regretted of buying it.

"My goodness, with AT&T's donation we're going to be able to mail off a whole lot of packages to troops overseas and put a significant amount of military appreciation day in June" said Dan Marvin, Veteran Task Force President.
"We believe very strongly in supporting our community, especially in towns where we have a military presence. Our veterans and our active duty personnel" said Ray Dubuque, AT&T Regional Director External Affairs.

Women's Squash Advances To Howe Cup Semifinal, Will Face No. 4 Trinity
The top-seeded Princeton women's squash team took care of business in its Howe Cup quarterfinal against Brown, and now it will finally get a chance to take on the Trinity Bantams. After snow cancelled their regular season showdown last weekend, the two teams will battle for a spot in the national championship match.
Princeton improved to 12-0 on the season with the 9-0 victory over eighth-seeded Brown, while Trinity moved to 15-2 with the 7-2 victory at Yale. Trinity's lone losses of the season both came on the road, with one against second-ranked Harvard (7-2) and the other at third-ranked Penn (6-3).
Princeton won all 27 individual games against Brown, including a dominant performance from senior co-captain Julie Cerullo at the No. 1 spot. She dropped only five points in her 3-0 win over Dori Rahbar, while freshmen Rachel Leizman and Tara Harrington both had successful debut matches at the Howe Cup.
Princeton and Trinity have played four times in the last two seasons, and both won twice. Both of the Tigers' wins came in the Jadwin Squash Courts, while Trinity won once at home and once in Cambridge during the 2012 Howe Cup Championships. The lone rematch scheduled for Saturday from the 2012 Howe Cup match will come at the No. 6 spot, where Trinity's Natalie Babjukova defeated Lexi Saunders in a close five-game match last season.
The winner of the match will take on the Harvard-Penn winner Sunday at 1:00.

Pall is selling certain assets of its blood collection, filtration, and processing product lines to Haemonetics for roughly $550 million. The transaction includes related systems as well as equipment for transfusion medicine and involves the transfer of manufacturing facilities in Covina, CA, Tijuana in Mexico, Ascoli in Italy, and a portion of Pall's operations in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. Separate from these manufacturing facilities, Pall will also transfer related blood media manufacturing capability to Haemonetics.
The transfer of the related media lines is expected to be completed by 2016. Until that time, Pall will provide these media products under a supply agreement. Upon closing, approximately 1,300 employees will transition to Haemonetics.
Under the terms of the agreement, approximately $535 million will be paid upon closing. The company estimates that the after-tax proceeds related to this payment will be approximately $430 million. The balance will be payable upon Pall's delivery of certain media assets to Haemonetics. The company expects to record an after-tax gain of $230–$240 million, or $1.95–$2.04 per share, upon closing.
Headquartered in Braintree, MA, Haemonetics provides innovative blood-management solutions. "The assets from Pall will provide us with a meaningful commercial presence in all aspects of whole blood collection, with leading filter technology and manufacturing capability, a broad portfolio of manual collection and processing products, and stronger relationships with major blood authorities and key customers we have in common," remarks Brian Concannon, Haemonetics' president and CEO.
Larry Kingsley, president and CEO of Pall, notes, "As a result of the transaction, Pall will increase its focus on businesses and markets where our competitive advantages are greatest. The impact of this decision is that Pall's overall profitability profile and long-term growth rate will be enhanced."
Revenue for the product lines being divested is expected to be approximately $230 million in Pall's fiscal year 2012, inclusive of OEM sales to Haemonetics. Operating profit for fiscal 2012 is expected to be about $60 million. The company estimates that the blood product line will contribute approximately $0.38 to EPS in fiscal year 2012, net of pro forma tax effect. Cost reductions and profit from the supply agreement are expected to largely offset any long-term dilution from the transaction.

Explore the Different Types of Hearing Aids
Thanks to the advancement in technology, there are different types of hearing aids available today. Some of the basic types of hearing aids include:
- In-the-ear devices where the device fits into the outer portion of the ear.
- Behind-the-ear devices which are connected by a tube to an earmold inside the ear.
Factors to Consider When Purchasing Hearing Aids
Some of the factors you should consider when purchasing hearing aids include:
- Medical evaluation/hearing evaluation: The FDA believes it is in your best interest to have a medical evaluation before purchasing a hearing aid, but allows you to waive this medical evaluation requirement if you choose. Read the Important Notice contained in the product description for each hearing aid before purchasing. Most of the hearing aids sold by us are for mild-to-moderate hearing loss. If you are not sure of the extent of your hearing loss, you may wish to have your hearing evaluated before buying a hearing aid.
- Batteries: Check the life of the battery against how often you need to wear your hearing aid. If you need to wear the hearing aid all day, then the batteries may need to be changed more often.
- Features: Review and compare the specifications for hearing aids to optimize your selection based upon features you need
- Warranty: Consider the manufacturers warranty offered with the hearing aid, and familiarize yourself with the covered parts and services.

As Egypt prepares to vote Saturday on a new constitution, a spiraling clash between supporters and foes of President Mohamed Morsi has sparked further instability.
CAIRO — Protesters have taken to the streets for weeks, waving flags, shouting chants, and seeking to sway the future of the nation.
But the spiraling clash between rival political camps extends far beyond rallies that both challenge — and support — President Mohamed Morsi's rule, and could spark further instability as the country prepares to vote Saturday on a new constitution.
Last week the nation's prosecutor general, appointed by Morsi, ordered investigations into claims that opposition leaders including Nobel Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei, former minister of foreign affairs Amr Moussa, and leftist leader Hamdeen Sabahi are conspiring to overthrow the government.
Some question the prosecutor general's impartiality and suspect he may work to implement a Morsi agenda. But Dina Zakaria, a representative of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, said the investigation has nothing to do with the opposition to the president.
"No one is going to be punished if there is no evidence," Zakaria said.
While it may not lead to prosecution, the inquiry indicates an explicit threat and is "part of a public disinformation campaign to try to tarnish opposition leaders as being part of conspiracies to topple the government," said Michael Wahid Hanna of the Century Foundation, a think tank in New York.
"At the very least this fits that purpose," he said, adding that the investigation fits the narrative of the Muslim Brotherhood and its camp.
In a statement about violent clashes that killed six protesters outside the presidential palace last week, the Brotherhood offered its condolences to families of those "assassinated by the treacherous hands of hooligans and terrorists collaborating in a vicious plot to overthrow the legitimate regime, override popular will and abort the revolution."
The Brotherhood also refers to a "foreign plot," and speaks of some members of the opposition as being dangerous loyalists of Hosni Mubarak's regime.
"Remnants of the former regime seek to overthrow the legitimate regime by spreading chaos and mayhem and vandalism," said vice-chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood, Khairat Al-Shater, at a recent press conference, according to the group's website.
The accusatory narrative is not new to Egypt — it echoes language used by Mubarak's regime before he was ousted in February 2011, and was carried over by the current leadership over the past months. But it is escalating in light of political crisis.
"It's not as if these accusations started last week," said Shadi Hamid, director of research for the Brookings Doha Center. "They've been around for a long time, and the Egyptian political scene has been polarized for a long time."
"This is an intensification of what has already been happening," he added.
Egypt is embroiled in a political fight over the future of freedoms and the content of what may become the nation's new constitution. The conflict escalated in late November when Morsi issued a decree that gave him sweeping powers, sidelined the judiciary, and allowed for a final draft constitution to be approved despite challenges to the committee that wrote the document.
Opponents viewed the decree — which has since been rescinded — as a power grab, while Morsi and his camp framed it as necessary for democracy and stability. Despite protests against the draft, Egyptians will vote on the constitution Saturday.
Use of inflammatory claims that have burgeoned in recent weeks and are short of any evidence "doesn't bode well for the political process, for bridging divides and overcoming bitter polarization," Hanna said.
And the opposition makes its own accusations.
"Many liberals would accuse, for example, the Muslim Brotherhood of getting support from Qatar, of being funded from the outside world," said political analyst Mazen Hassan, in Cairo. "Left-wing people of the liberal camp would say [the Brotherhood] are implementing an American agenda, even an Israeli Zionist one. They are accusing the other of being foreign agents."
"But of course it's the Islamists who rely on these accusations," Hassan said. And such allegations are not as frequent from the opposition, he added.
Liberals express outrage toward the United States for allegedly backing Morsi and the Brotherhood, and say the Islamist group uses religion to manipulate under-educated Egyptians into following the Brotherhood's decisions. Some also accuse the Brotherhood of having militias who were involved in deadly clashes last week.
Alleged Muslim Brotherhood members and supporters took almost 50 anti-Morsi protesters to a makeshift detention center at Heliopolis' presidential palace gate, where they were beaten and otherwise mistreated, Human Rights Watch said.
The Brotherhood's camp claims its supporters were attacked by hired thugs.
Mohamed El Mekkawi, a member of the foreign relations committee of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, said if the Brotherhood had militias it could defend against recent attacks on party offices taking place across the country.
"How come, if we have militias, we could not defend ourselves?" El Mekkawi asked. "It's unacceptable speech. This is not democracy."
In October, Brotherhood political figure Essam El-Erian accused Egyptian television personality Jihan Mansour — on-air — of receiving foreign funding in exchange for speaking critically of the group.
"I said, 'This is your opinion,' and I didn't answer him on air, but I went to the court," Mansour said.
She, too, had her own beliefs about how the rival political camp operates in a nation where a large portion of the population is illiterate. "These people are so naïve, so you can play with their minds using religion," Mansour said, noting what she claims is a Brotherhood tactic to get people to turn against the opposition.
But in light of rival claims and accusations, the Brotherhood's El Mekkawi said what matters is the upcoming vote on the final draft constitution.
"In the end the citizens know everything and we should wait to see what [the people] are going to choose," he said.
Still, Khaled Dawoud, a spokesman of the National Salvation Front — the main coalition of opposition parties — said there are dangers resulting from "speech of hate" that involves incitement against media figures and accusations that Morsi's opponents are infidels and foreign agents: He has received a number of anonymous death threats from people he believes may be "victims" of incitement, angrily swayed by allegations.
"I'm sad more than scared," Dawoud said. "I don't think it's serious, but it makes me sad that my country is heading in a direction whereby if I disagree with you, you come and tell me, 'I'll kill you.' "

Corn of Many Colors
by Kris Wetherbee
Popcorn from multicolored ears brings new flavors and fun to popcorn
Each year Americans consume nearly 18 billion quarts of popped corn. Plain, buttered, seasoned with spices or cheese, rolled into sweetened balls, and even coated with caramel and nuts, it's become one of this country's favorite snacks.
Corn of various types was first cultivated in Mexico, and popcorn was probably the first type grown. In fact, ears of popcorn, some estimated to date back 5,600 years, were found 50 years ago in a bat cave in New Mexico.
Yet in this country, popcorn didn't necessarily start off with a bang. Native Americans are credited with introducing popcorn to the colonists in the 1600s, but the real awakening came at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, when Frederick Rueckheim presented a tasty popcorn confection, which he marketed six years later as Cracker Jack. By 1914, the American Pop Corn Company began selling the first brand-name popcorn, Jolly Time.
Popcorn Distinctions
Traditional yellow popcorn varieties include 'Giant Yellow'
As a consumer, you can choose from yellow or white kernels, with yellow being more available. But as a home gardener, your choices include colorful red, blue, black, and even multicolored varieties. And, as popcorn connoisseurs know, definite taste differences exist among them.
As its name suggests, popcorn is corn that actually pops, which it does only when cured correctly. Popcorn's kernels consist of nearly all hard starch with a small amount of moisture (13 to 14 percent), covered by a thin, hard shell called the enamel. When perfectly cured popcorn is heated, each kernel acts as a miniature steam engine. As pressure builds and the moisture inside expands, the kernel explodes, inside out. All popcorn is a shade of white inside, so once popped, even the colored kinds look similar.
Yellow popcorn explodes into snowflake or butterfly shapes with a light corn taste. It also yields up to 46 times its original kernel size (white popcorn expands 35 to 40 times). This may explain why commercial vendors prefer yellow popcorn; each pound of popcorn produces more volume. Popular varieties include 'Giant Yellow' (105 days to maturity), 'Robust' (103 days), and 'South American' (103 days).
White popcorn bursts into smaller white mushroom shapes that are tender and slightly sweet. Try 'Japanese White Hulless' (110 days), 'White Cloud' (90 days), or 'White Snow Puff' (90 days).
Colored popcorn includes red, blue, black, and multicolored varieties. These pop into tender nuggets with a range of nutty flavors. While colored varieties are shades of white on the inside, their colored enamel shows specks of color amid the popped kernels. Red varieties include 'Early Pink' (85 days), which tastes similar to yellow popcorn; 'Ruby Red' (110 days); and 'Strawberry' (100 days), named for its small mahogany-colored cobs that look like strawberries. The last colors you might think of for corn may be blue or black, but 'Shaman's Blue' (112 days) is a striking purplish blue, and 'Black' (80 days) pops to bright white with black accents and a crunchy texture. Multicolored varieties include 'Calico' (90 days), 'Carousel' (104 days), and 'Park's Color Corn Mix' (95 days).
Miniature popcorn yields 2- to 4-inch cobs, compared to the 6- to 8-inch lengths of regular-size varieties. Kernels and popped corn are similarly small and have a slightly nutty taste. Varieties include 'Miniature Blue', 'Miniature Pink', and 'Multicolored Miniature', all needing 100 days to maturity.

I have a home server (with slackware 13) with a eth0 for the local network and a eth1 for the internet (cable modem with dynamic ip).
While I do want to learn more about iptables I am still on the proccess and I need some rules done and can't until a learn to do it as I dont wish my server to get compromised at this stage.
I currently have a vm where I play with my rules and everything and would appreciate if some one could wrap me a firewall rule for iptables to do the below:
- Allow all users from my dhcp server on eth0 to have full access to internet and server, in other words eth0 should have no restrictions within the network and server.
- Allow all users to be able to create a server, for example if they are playing a game such as for example warcraft, and they create a game, the firewall should allow the negotiation of those connections to go thru.
- Block any requests from internet to server unless it was initiated by the server or an users from the network.

Among the special features of National Geographic Traveler: Athens & the Island are sidebars detailing experiences throughout Greece to make sure that you get to know the culture and the people, inside and out.

Guided walks and drives include a stroll through Rhodes' Old Town, a holy pilgrimage on the trail of St. John in Patmos, and an exploration of ancient Athens that includes the Promenade and Plaka.
An extensive Travelwise section at the back of the guide provides hand-picked hotels and restaurants, tour recommendations, and a glossary that covers must-know words.

E-cards have drawbacks
Nearly all gifts cards have shipping and handling costs, which vary with the delivery time frame. You can avoid those fees by purchasing an electronic gift card, but only 12 of the 31 retailers Bankrate surveyed offer e-cards.
If you want to go the e-card route, know that there's a drawback: In most instances, an e-card can be redeemed only online, not in stores. For example, Barnes & Noble, Bloomingdale's and Costco allow you to buy electronic gift cards online, but those e-cards can only be used online. The exceptions are Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, J.C. Penney and Saks Fifth Avenue; their plastic and e-cards can be used online, in stores and even for catalog sales.
State laws vary
Many states are adding gift cards to their consumer
protection laws. Rules having to do with expiration
dates and maintenance fees are being amended.
Several states recently passed laws that don't
allow cards to expire. For example, in California,
Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts and Nevada, cards
cannot expire. Other states put limits on expiration;
for example, cards can't expire within the first
two years of issuance.
"Clearly there is a groundswell of support to get rid of expiration dates," says Horne. "It's an easy issue for politicians. Merchants think it's better to get customers into the store, spend more than the value of the cards and become loyal customers, so they did away with their fees and expiration dates."
But Horne says that those benefits
don't apply to the open-loop cards. "Their revenue
streams have to come from somewhere else -- like
the upfront fees."
To find out how your state treats gift cards, check with your state's consumer protection department.
For the full results of the Bankrate
gift card study, see"2007
Gift Card Study comparison chart" for
plastic gift cards and "Electronic
gift certificates limited" for electronic
gift certificates.
Note: In previous years, Bankrate surveyed the top 100 retailers, which included the major grocery store chains and drugstores. This year we surveyed retailers including department store chains and shopping malls. We did not include grocery stores and drugstores.

this is really important guys i'm glad we have a thread about it
I know, that's why I prefered to him, Walrus. And Sasuke, shut up.
Grammar.Point is, it isn't cool to not like how some one spells bad or uses bad grammer. I know some body that does that on here and he isn't hated.
Error does not become Truth because it is widely accepted;
Truth does not become error, even when it stands alone.
Paired with: Mex - Eve
Oh yeah, saying shut up is very shitty. I mean, come on, I never see any COOL PEOPLE post shut up.
Your the one quoting yourself, if you really wanted to 'leave peace alone' then you should have not posted at all.
Fine, I'll let it go this time, SF.
Bayleef Master: HELL THE FUCK NO.
Please Kakashi?
I knew this would be the perfect Valentine's gift for Kakashi... It was inevitable that he'd be jumping for joy at BM's possible return to RP.
DSX, sorry I'm not replying on aim, my aim is fucked up.
Meh, its just proves how big of a fail it is, thats all.
Well Kelsh thanks for the try.Ok Kakashi what is wrong with you?You are just a bib jackass man.
At least I have my frinds to back me up!Kiki,Kelsh,and Hicky.Guys thank you for having my back.Congrats Kakashi you`ve just proved how big of a jack assyou are!Now Kakashi you dont scare me.
Your prob. a 7 year old neard that spends his life watching Naruto.Now i`m not asking i`m DEMENDING! I say we have a vote Kakashi.We ask 11 members and if more vote yes than I can rp for ever but if not i`ll shutthe fuck up.(maby)Now lets see if you got the guts to stand up to the one and only BM!
Also thanks Tim for unbanning me from when this mutha fucka banned me.
*sigh*, Bayleef, that is why he doesn't let you
1) You just called him a jackass, and did in the past
2) They are your... pity friends
3) You can't spell for shit, that is one strong focus point of RPs, GRAMMAR!
4) You just called him a motha fucka xD
5) You would lose that vote
6) Demanding?
7) 7
8) Why 11? I say have an open vote for a week (if this retarded plan goes), then see how badly you lost.
9) , you called Kakashi a nerd. He's in high school, you realize. I think it's funny you think he's 7, that would mean you have worse grammar then a 7 year old XD
10) You won't stfu, you even said that before you were going to when he first banned you, but that didn't last
11) Tim probably unbanned you to stur up this kind of shit.
EDIT. Oh yeah, kick ass response Chrizz
The Pikatwo Diaries ...
Ultimate Destiny: Ninetales 009 Adventures - an original and exciting Pokemon fan fiction, updated whenever-
i unbanned him because banning him from the whole board because hes a shitty rper is stupid
i'll probably end up unblocking him from the rp forum if he strikes me as deserving it enough, then check in and see if hes as bad as chrizz says
theres better ways for chrizz to handle his shitty rping im sure
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
also he banned you mainly for your shitty grammar might wanna work on that
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.

Reviews for Christmas Tree Rolls
"Good idea Pat. I think I'm going to try this using cinnamon rolls!"
"I made this for Christmas dinner and the concept of the tree caught everyone's eye; however, using cinnamon rolls would have made more sense and a larger size roll per person.Pat"
"I can't wait until Christmas Day to make this recipe for our Christmas brunch. I think everyone will be surprised. BJA"
"this recipe was a great find! fast and easy, I don't have the time! for kick I used 1T splenda, 1/2 t. cinnamon and 2T splenda brown sugar and 1/2 c chopped pecans for sprinkle over the butter before rolling up to cut. Then added baking mini M&Ms for christmas tree bulb decoration. I needed 2 one was not enough!"
"I made these and everyone enjoyed them. They made beautiful Christmas trees and I know I will make them in the future.betwendy"

It always saddens me when I see Grid and Decursive in the same raid screenshot, because clearly the author has no idea how to setup Grid on their own to do the work of both.Originally Posted by Obsideon
Pewpewarrows - Or, like me, they could actually PREFER to use the two addons separately. *smile* I don't WANT to use Grid for my cleansing/dispelling, specifically because I don't want to have to remember yet another Clique keybinding. It would be easy enough on my Holy Priest, I admit. However, on my Prot Pally, it would be a bitch... because I'd have to keybind something like ALT+CTRL+Mouse3. Or Alt+Ctrl+Mouse4. Those are the shortest "binds" still available to me for click-casting on that toon, I believe.
Priests have more Clique bindings than Paladins by far, and I still find an easy key for it. Alt Left Click for the Dispel, Alt Right for the Abolish Disease. So I have no idea what you're talking about. Decursive is wasted screen space for people who don't know how to setup Grid for themselves.Originally Posted by Taryble

Took these shots a few days ago after reading the thread and doing some efficiency tweeking. I've since disabled the MUF for decursive. I use mouseover healing and decursing anyway. I only use the MUF when I'm tanking so I don't have to eat a keybinding. I use ABS for managing my action bars between specs.
A few things I've changed since these shots were moving the ZOMG icons right over my unit frame. This helped me keep beacon and sacred shield up 100% of the time last night. I'm still tweaking my SBB setup. I previously had it similar to elkbuffbars (vertically with bars and buff names). Omen pops up between the RF and SS icons (tankadin2) and the class buff bar (AutoBar). I've also disabled the "show empty buttons" in Dominos.
The icons on the first two rows up to Bacon and Divine Plea mimic the layout of my Nostromo pad.

Even though mammogram and colonoscopy are two of the most effective cancer-catching tools available, many people don't get tested. Now, new research shows that if you've not been consistent about appointments, it may help to schedule them at certain times of the year.
According to a study in the journal BMJ, people are more likely to go to cancer screenings if the test date is close to important days.
For years, experts guessed that some people avoided these screenings out of fear and/or concerns about discomfort or cost. But until recently, no one had investigated the role that the timing of tests plays.
Researchers in Norway analyzed follow-through among 20,780 men and women who had been randomly assigned an appointment for a colon cancer screening. They found that people were most likely to show up for appointments scheduled around Christmas and New Year's Day, and within two weeks of a birthday. The conclusion: These events are reminders of the passing of time, which nudge us to take care of ourselves.
Also, people may have an urge to get things done at these times. So for a better chance of keeping your appointment, pick a memorable date for your screening.

Sweet Judy Blue Eyes
Folk icon comes to Ventura Music Festival
By Chris Jay 05/01/2014
The Ventura Music Festival has grown remarkably since its inception in 1994. In recent years, the predominantly classical music fete has branched out into jazz and folk, with appearances by major names like Herbie Hancock and Branford Marsalis. This year's festival, however, is arguably the best lineup yet with two bona fide world-renowned acts appearing. One of those is the angelic soprano-voiced folk music icon Judy Collins.
It's hard to encapsulate Judy Collins' life and career. In fact it's taken multiple autobiographies for her to do so. She was born Judith Marjorie Collins in 1939 in Seattle, the eldest of five siblings and the daughter of a blind radio DJ. After moving to Denver as a young girl, she began studying piano under the legendary female conductor and pianist, Antonia Brico. A child prodigy seemingly on the fast track for a life in classical music, that all changed when she was introduced to the music of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.
Collins made her way to the hotbed of folk music, Greenwich Village, and signed to Elektra Records. Her early work was heavy in the traditional folk ballads and the obligatory protest songs by artists like Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton, but it was with more elaborate productions and instrumentations that Collins began to find mainstream success. Her haunting version of the Joni Mitchell classic "Both Sides Now" gave Collins her first major chart success and Grammy award, and she became known for her interpretations of songs by yet-to-be-discovered songwriters. Collins covered Randy Newman, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen, helping introduce all of them to a wider audience. When not covering new artists, she was inspiring them as the Crosby, Stills and Nash classic "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" can attest.
Collins also was among the first not to be pigeonholed in a specific genre as she scored two unlikely hits in the '70s: A stirring version of the Christian hymn "Amazing Grace" and "Send in the Clowns," a ballad from a Broadway musical. Her records were some of the most diverse of the decade with show tunes, Beatles and Eagles covers, movie theme songs, contemporary pop ballads and her own original compositions all sharing space on the same records.
Collins still has a devoted fan base, and maintains a busy performing schedule. Beyond that, she's also an author, record label owner, activist, painter and even a speaker and spokeswoman for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Collins lost her only son to suicide after his long battle with alcoholism and depression, two diseases she also suffered from for years. Her two books on the subject, Sanity and Grace: A Journey of Suicide, Survival and Strength and the self-help book The Seven T's: Finding Hope and Healing in the Wake of Tragedy, are powerfully honest and revealing works that have provided inspiration to thousands.
In just the past few years, folk music has lost some of its most important voices, including Mary Travers, Odetta, Richie Havens and, of course, Pete Seeger who touched multiple generations with his boundless energy in his nearly 100 years on planet Earth. That's why, in 2014, the opportunity to see a bona fide musical legend in person, not to mention on the weekend she celebrates her 75th birthday, is simply an experience not to be missed for anyone who values the folk music genre or just appreciates singing at the most pure and poignant level possible.
So maybe it's easier to sum up Judy Collins than initially thought: She's quite simply an American musical treasure.
The Ventura Music Festival presents Judy Collins on Sunday, May 4, at the Ventura High School Auditorium, 2 N. Catalina St., Ventura. For more information visit www.venturamusicfestival.org.

La Monnaie ¦ Recitals ¦ Anna Caterina Antonacci ¦ Intro
Anna Caterina Antonacci
Combattimenti & Lamenti
For her new recital at La Monnaie, Anna Caterina Antonacci is performing a programme of baroque music chosen to suit and show off her tragic heroine temperament and her expressive virtuosity. She has gone back to the origins of opera – beginning with the first master of the form, Monteverdi – to exhibit her great skill at recitar cantando and the lamento con affetti in songs which reveal the internal battles of the heart and soul.
The Accademia degli Astrusi – conducted by Federico Ferri – will accompany these solo voice masterpieces and give a fiery reply with some original instrumental pieces.

GENERIC NAME: diphenhydramine
BRAND NAME: Benadryl, Sominex, Unisom, Nytol, and several others
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine used for treating allergic reactions. Histamine is released by the body during several types of allergic reactions and--to a lesser extent--during some viral infections, such as the common cold. When histamine binds to receptors on cells, it stimulates changes within the cells that lead to the release of chemicals that cause sneezing, itching, and increased mucus production. Antihistamines compete with histamine for cell receptors and bind to the receptors without stimulating the cells. In addition, they prevent histamine from binding and stimulating the cells. Diphenhydramine also blocks the action of acetylcholine (anticholinergic effect) and is used as a sedative because it causes drowsiness. The FDA originally approved diphenhydramine in 1946.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Diphenhydramine is used for the relief of nasal and non-nasal symptoms of various allergic conditions such as seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever). It also is used to alleviate cold symptoms and hives (chronic urticaria). Although antihistamines are the preferred class of drugs in allergic rhinitis, they only reduce symptoms by 40% to 60%. Diphenhydramine also is used for allergic reactions involving the eyes (allergic conjunctivitis), to prevent or treat active motion sickness, and for mild cases of Parkinsonism, including drug-induced Parkinsonism. The last two uses (motion sickness and Parkinsonism) are based on the anticholinergic effects of diphenhydramine, and not its antihistamine effects. Diphenhydramine also is used for treating insomnia.
