Osteoporosis Health Center
Picking the Right Osteoporosis Medicine for You
No. 1: Bisphosphonates: Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva, Zoledronic Acid (Reclast or Zometa) continued...
This intense regimen is important, explains Thacker, because very little of the drug is actually absorbed by the body. The body absorbs only about 1% of the drug -- "so you have to make sure you get the most from every dose," she says.
Weighing the Options: When deciding about bisphosphonates, ask yourself these eight questions:
- How frequently do you want to take an osteoporosis medicine?
- Will you really remember to take it?
- Will you follow the morning regimen for taking the pills?
- Are you taking other medications regularly?
- Do you have any GI problems?
- Do you have difficulty swallowing?
- Would you rather have a once-yearly treatment?
- What osteoporosis medicine does your insurance cover?
Pill-form bisphosphonates are not advised for people with GI problems like gastritis or ulcers -- or for people with serious esophageal problems like stricture. "We want to make sure patients absorb the drug," says Thacker. "If they have those conditions, they really need to consider an IV."
Also, for patients who don't have a pharmacy benefits plan -- with their insurance or with Medicare -- intravenous Reclast or Boniva may be the better option, says Tanner. "Because it's done at the physician's office, it will be covered." However, you must meet your insurance deductible and co-pay.
Generic Fosamax: If you are a good candidate for pill form, Fosamax is now available in a cheaper, generic form. It's a good option if finances are a problem, Tanner says. "Some people can't afford more than $4 a month." It's important to know, however, that generics are required to be 80% equivalent to the brand medicine, and may not be 100% identical, she tells WebMD. "For a medication that is so difficult for the body to absorb, I think that's a risk."
Possible side effects: These osteoporosis medicines can upset the stomach, causing heartburn for a day or two. "Actonel seems to cause a bit less GI side effects," says Ruppe.
Some patients report muscle and joint pain with these osteoporosis treatments, but only rarely is it a serious problem. "It's not a reason to stay away from the medication," Tanner says.

might have been different.
Now, the question for me at least, and I think, for a lot of folks is, where do we take this? How do we learn some lessons from this and move in a positive direction? You know, I think it's understandable that there have been demonstrations and vigils and protests, and some of that stuff is just going to have to work its way through as long as it remains nonviolent. If I see any violence, then I will remind folks that that dishonors what happened to Trayvon Martin and his family.
But beyond protests or vigils, the question is, are there some concrete things that we might be able to do? I know that Eric Holder is reviewing what happened down there, but I think it's important for people to have some clear expectations here. Traditionally, these are issues of state and local government -- the criminal code. And law enforcement has traditionally done it at the state and local levels, not at the federal levels.
That doesn't mean, though, that as a nation, we can't do some things that I think would be productive. So let me just give a couple of specifics that I'm still bouncing around with my staff so we're not rolling out some five-point plan, but some areas where I think all of us could potentially focus.
Number one, precisely because law enforcement is often determined at the state and local level, I think it'd be productive for the Justice Department -- governors, mayors to work with law enforcement about training at the state and local levels in order to reduce the kind of mistrust in the system that sometimes currently exists.
You know, when I was in Illinois I passed racial profiling legislation. And it actually did just two simple things. One, it collected data on traffic stops and the race of the person who was stopped. But the other thing was it resourced us training police departments across the state on how to think about potential racial bias and ways to further professionalize what they were doing.
And initially, the police departments across the state were resistant, but actually they came to recognize that if it was done in a fair, straightforward way, that it would allow them to do their jobs better and communities would have more confidence in them and in turn be more helpful in applying the law. And obviously law enforcement's got a very tough job.
So that's one area where I think there are a lot of resources and best practices that could be brought bear if state and local governments are receptive. And I think a lot of them would be. And -- and let's figure out other ways for us to push out that kind of training.
Along the same lines, I think it would be useful for us to examine some state and local laws to see if it -- if they are designed in such a way that they may encourage the kinds of altercations and confrontations and tragedies that we saw in the Florida case, rather than diffuse potential altercations.
I know that there's been commentary about the fact that the stand your ground laws in Florida were not used as a defense in the case.
On the other hand, if we're sending a message as a society in our communities that someone who is armed potentially has the right to use those firearms even if there's a way for them to exit from a situation, is that really going to be contributing to the kind of peace and security and order that we'd like to see?
And for those who resist that idea that we should think about something like these "stand your ground" laws, I just ask people to consider if Trayvon Martin was of age and armed, could he have stood his ground on that sidewalk? And do we actually think that he would have been justified in shooting Mr. Zimmerman, who had followed him in a car, because he felt threatened?
And if the answer to that question is at least ambiguous, it seems to me that we might want to examine those kinds of laws.
Number three -- and this is a long-term project: We need to spend some time in thinking about how do we bolster and reinforce our African-American boys? And this is something that Michelle and I talk a lot about. There are a lot of kids out there who need help who are getting a lot of negative reinforcement. And is there more that we can do to give them the sense that their country cares about them and values them and is willing to invest in them?
You know, I'm not naive about the prospects of some brand-new federal program.
I'm not sure that that's what we're talking about here. But I do

Ok I went through all the other topics and got alot of help but now a solution.
I have a site that is a couples days old. Got about 100 posts and 5 pages. I need to change the permalinks which i forgot to in the first place. I use GoDaddy shared hosting.
When I change the permalinks to custom /%category%/%postname% it sucessfully changes but doesnt write to the .htaccess files. So I changed to to read only to get the permalinks page to tell me what to put in the htaccess which it did. I replaced that and changed the permalinks again which still every old post, page does not work and gets 404 error and any new page i create does the same.
How can I fix this problems!?

What tools, akin to Treesize Free (and others of that ilk) are there that are hard-link aware? Either my google-fu is failing, or there aren't that many out there as I haven't yet found one.
I've already seen this question and this question that already tell me that certain tools aren't hard-link aware, but they don't suggest alternatives that are aware. There's also this question that only has one accepted answer which suggests sysinternal's
du, but interested to know what others (if any) are out there
(It's entirely possible that this question may be seen as a dupe of that I've linked to above, but I want to solicit new opinion given that one is dated 2010. Also I don't know how much interest a question that already has an accepted answer will garner in terms of new knowledge when the rep's not up for grabs ;-) ).

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:15 PM GMT on July 09, 2008
Hurricane Bertha fell apart yesterday to a minimal Category 1 hurricane about as quickly as her meteoric rise to major hurricane status had come. At Bertha's peak--a Category 3 hurricane with 120 mph winds and 948 mb pressure--Bertha was the third strongest hurricane on record so early in the season. Increased wind shear of about 20 knots plus some dry Saharan air that got injected into the core caused Bertha's sudden demise.
The intensity forecast
Shear is on the wane again over Bertha, down to about 15 knots. The storm is beginning to get a more symmetric cloud pattern and better organization, as seen on visible satellite loops. An eye is reappearing, and with Bertha over warm 28°C water, further intensification is likely today. None of the models are predicting a return to Category 3 status again, but Bertha could become a Category 2 hurricane again before wind shear increases once more later this week.
Figure 1. Bertha at peak intensity: 21:15 GMT Monday July 7, 2008. At this time, satellite estimates of Bertha's strength were 115 kt (135 mph), making the storm a weak Category 4 hurricane. Bertha was the third strongest hurricane on record so early in the season.
The track forecast
Bertha is slowing down and turning northward as it "feels" the approach of a trough of low pressure to the north. All of the computer model turn Bertha northwards east of Bermuda, and it currently appears that the island will feel only peripheral effects of Bertha. However, the trough of low pressure turning Bertha to the north will not be strong enough to fully drag the storm into the far North Atlantic, so Bertha will wander close to Bermuda early next week while it waits for another trough of low pressure to finish the job. It is very unlikely Bertha will threaten the U.S., but it could eventually affect the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
Elsewhere in the tropics
There are no threat areas to discuss in the tropical Atlantic. The GFS model is predicting that a tropical depression may form off the coast of Africa on Monday.
Dramatic temperature difference in California
At 3pm PDT yesterday, the temperature at the Point Sur Light Station was 52°F. A shallow marine layer lay along the coast, keeping temperatures cool. Just 20 miles inland, the temperature was 111°F at Arroyo Seco RAWS! You can check out this remarkable contrast by viewing the Wundermap for the region. We just added a fire layer to the product yesterday, so you can see the smoke density in the region as well. It's another bad day in Big Sur!
I'll post an update Thursday morning.

Man accused of trying to mail pot to FloridaMarch 26,2014Man accused of
trying to mail pot
BENNINGTON A local man faces a felony charge that he tried to mail more than half an ounce of marijuana to his brother in Florida from the Staples in Bennington.
Tyler D. Davidson, of Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court. He was released without bail.
In an affidavit, police said they were contacted by an employee of Staples on Feb. 18. The employee said Davidson, who was identified by the debit card he used as identification, brought a small box into the store and asked to send it to Palm Bay, Fla.
The employee said she was forced to open the box to fix the packaging because she could hear something inside moving around and the shipper will not accept packages if the contents arent secure.
Police said the employee told them she quickly came to believe the box had marijuana inside. She contacted her superiors at the store and they reached a decision to contact police.
Police said that Davidson admitted to trying to send the package. He does not have a criminal record.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Lung Cancer Spread to the Brain
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My cousin had lung cancer and now has brain cancer- but he says it's not brain cancer - is he just trying to make me feel better?
When you as an American travel to Mexico, we don't start calling you Mexican. You're still an American, you've just relocated yourself to Mexico. The same holds true for cancer cells—we name them from where they started.
The difference is very meaningful to what to expect from the cancer—lung cancer has certain tendencies in terms of how it behaves and brain cancer has different ones. In particular, the therapies that work the best are very different between lung cancer and brain cancer.

AbstractEquipment and ordnance in the Defense arsenal, ranging from complex electronic systems for silent watch, sensors, hybrid vehicles, portable soldier systems, and unmanned vehicles, are becoming increasingly reliant on battery power for mission operations. In the Phase I research, Applied Sciences, Inc. (ASI) demonstrated feasibility of producing silicon-coated carbon nanofiber anode materials with specific capacities in excess of 1500 mAh/g to moderate cycle numbers sufficient to meet needs for UAVs and selected spacecraft applications, and further stabilizing the anode material through addition of conductive carbon coatings to achieve high capacity retention rates. ASI proposes to build upon the successes of the Phase I effort in developing silicon-carbon anodes that can triple the specific energy and volume of existing lithium ion batteries, with focus on a conductive layer on the surface of the silicon, and the insertion of silicon into a nanoscale graphitic structure to achieve coulombic efficiencies over 99% for 500 cycles. ASI has developed relationships with DOE Laboratories for characterization of the silicon-carbon anodes before, during, and after cycling to assist the development of strategies to boost performance. ASI will work with its supply chain of Yardney Technical Products and General Motors to fabricate prismatic, prototype batteries for evaluation.

Hello. I'm trying to figure out a way to have Relevanssi index files uploaded via WP-Filebase. I believe the function I need to use is wp_handle_upload(), but not really sure what to do with it.
To further complicate things, I've also got 2461 files already uploaded into Filebase, but I'm sure this can just be done as a database export/hack/import into wp_posts.
I'm pretty sure I'll need to add
wp_handle_upload() to WP Filebase somewhere in the upload function/methods, but the plugin is huge and I don't even know where to begin without just following the code for hours to make a slightly-educated guess. Any input from the plugin developers would be very appreciated.

Like most of the teams, the Canadian bobsledders have some very tight uniforms. In fact, they're so tight that one of the members of the team can't really fit into his.
Canadian bobsledder Christopher Spring struggled to get into his uniform, so he decided to send out a picture over Twitter to show just how tight they really are.
I tried on my race suit ahead of tomorrow's 2man Olympic race and its a little...er tight. #powerbelly pic.twitter.com/Ws25bERzjV— Christopher Spring (@BobTeamSpring) February 15, 2014

The LA Leakers tell us:
"It's that time of the year again… Time to start warming you guys up for The 2014 Draft Picks Mixtape dropping at the top of the year. Jay 305 is someone who has showed a lot of promise this year in the LA rap scene, so much so, that Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa & YG all hopped on "Youzza Flip". Jay 305 is one of our "2014 draft picks," the things this record did in LA is one of the reasons why. Be on the lookout for The 2014 Draft Picks Mixtape dropping in the beginning of January."

According to the the Principality of Liechtenstein's constitution, Liechtenstein is a constitutional, hereditary monarchy on a democratic and parliamentary basis. The power of the State is inherent in and issues from the Reigning Prince and the People and shall be exercised by both.
The Reigning Prince of Liechtenstein is the Head of State. He exercises his right to state authority in accordance with the provisions of the constitution and the other laws of the Principality of Liechtenstein.
He represents the state vis-à-vis foreign states. He signs international treaties either in person or delegates this function to a plenipotentiary. Some treaties under international law only become valid when they have been ratified by parliament.
The Reigning Prince's involvement in legislation consists in a right to take initiatives in the form of government bills and in the right to sanction the laws on which their validity depends.
The Reigning Prince has the power to enact princely decrees. With one such decree, for instance, he convenes parliament. Emergency decrees come within the scope of princely decrees and through these the Reigning Prince may, in compelling cases, take measures for the security and welfare of the state without parliament's involvement, but with the countersignature of the Head of Government.
The Reigning Prince has the right to convene and to prorogue parliament and, for serious reasons, to adjourn it for three months or to dissolve it.
On the basis of names put forward by parliament the Reigning Prince nominates the government. He also nominates all judges after they have been proposed by a selection board and approved by parliament or the people in a popular vote.
The Reigning Prince's other authorities include exercising the right of reprieve and the rights to mitigate and commute punishments that have been imposed with legal force, and the abolition - i.e. the dismissal - of investigations that have been initiated.

This product seems to work pretty good for backing your vehicle up to your camper or trailer just very unhappy with the install instructions as there are not many...kinda a guessing game...luckily we have a friend that has a backup camera on their vehicle not same one and my hubby looked at his and figured out how to install on our vehicle......
Bad instructions,cheap wiring, poor quality,,,PERIOD
i have a 2006 mustang gt that we customized .we added a rear window luver,vision greatly decreased.this camera was the perfect answer.color is perfect,even in rain.nite vision is also clear.however as far as install it is not in minutes more like hours.i have installed many addons to this car and others. if you have never done this type of work find someone that has.i would recomend this to everyone to have installed. you'll love it.i am buying another one as a gift for a family member.
price was reasonable,but packing incomplete for installation onto vehicle.paid mechanic for help on installing,had to purchase items at RadioShack,due to incomplete item.called help line,pleasant associate,but told it would be 4days till monitor was replaced.lousy customer service, I had purchase
extended warrananty bad choice now!!lousy customer service again.
Purchased it online on the 22nd, Came by UPS on the 1st. of the following Month. Installed on the 20th. and it wouldn't work at all. Called Pyle and their guy told me to ship it back to them and they will send me another one .... with ME paying for the return shipping !!!! He said since it's been over 30 day's they won't pay the shipping. I informed him it hadn't been 30 day's and I even bought the 2yr. warranty on it .... He didn't care - they won't pay to ship it back. I told him it's a piece of Junk, the Installation Instructions are vague and I'm not paying to ship it back to them. I'm Returning it to Walmart today !!!!! Don't waste your Money on this !!!
Very poorly made. Does not work at night. With or without light.
Missing parts in top of the poor product
This is not a wireless setup. The instructions do not explain the setup of the monitor at all. You do have to run wires the entire length of the vehicle. I knew this when I purchased. Works great.
That is very good night the service was very good also thanks Wal-Mart.for your help
Limited installation instructions are included.
I can not at this time give a good or bad review about this product because I have not yet installed it. The reason I would probably not recommend this product to a friend because of the difficulty I am going to experience installing this camera. As an auto body mechanic, I have many years of knowledge of removing interior panels in order to conceal the wiring which includes removing the back seat. This may very well be an excellent product but I won't know that until after installation. I apologize for this review of this product but these are my honest feelings. It does not appear to be as easily installed as the ad makes it out to be.
Needs direction manual and set up instructions
The camera was working but the monitor did not see the signal, so I returned it to Wally World.
The camera works fine. No instruction on how to install power for the camera and monitor. Customer service number didn't help either. After 4 trips to the auto parts store and many attempts, finally got power to it. I'm not an electrician or car mechanic so "0" stars for instructions or ease of use for installation.
Bought this back up camera for a Ram 1500 to aid in trailer hook-up. After spending the afternoon hooking it up and neatly routing all the wires. DEAD! Day 2 spent testing all connections with volt meter. Either the screen is defective or the camera? the IR lights light up when in reverse but the video image does not show on monitor. ( Either Channel ) This was a wasted effort. Now I have to try and scrape the adhesive off the dash, and uninstall this thing. TEST BEFORE INSTALLING!!!!!
The unit itself is a good value, and it functions very well. I hooked it up to a previous wireless set-up in my car and it worked perfectly the first time! I would suggest that Pyle offer a choice of monitors for this package, as the one provided is a bit small, but adequate. The camera is of good quality, but an "upgrade" might improve the efficiency as well.
good picture, no instructions, real men don't need instructions.

Save your road tires for race day.
Putting down serious mileage on your trainer isn't just hell on your brain, it's equally destructive to your rear tire. The severe heat generated by the drums of stationary trainers or rollers devours the rubber and causes the tread to break down and the casing to split. Continental wants you to save your race tires for outdoor riding. For indoor workouts they've developed the Ultra Sport Hometrainer Tire. It has a cold running compound and a substantially stiffer casing than what you get in a GP 4000. It'll last all winter long, but make sure to take it off before you ride outside. Continental specifically states that it's strictly for indoor use. Available in 700x23 only.
The actual weight of the Continental Ultra Sport Hometrainer Tire is 292g.
- Three-ply construction keeps wear to a minimum
- 84 TPI offers a real-road feel, even though you're on a trainer
- Specifically designed for hometrainer use and NOT suitable for on-road use
- Item #CON0097

It worked till it broke
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
We all fall off rollers, and this one just couldn't handle the plastic edge of the notch that holds the roller cable. I enjoyed about 8 hours of use on this tire, which were flawless 8 hours, but a little slip up did it in. I contacted Continental customer support twice and they didn't respond either time. I'll take my business elsewhere.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
In some areas of the country, winter is very real. To maintain fitness, especially bike fitness, the best option is to ride the trainer. But let's face it: rubber is expensive, and there's not much sense in wearing out your precious tires designed for traction and control at speed on various surfaces, when you're in the pain cave cranking away the hours Zwifting on your trainer. That's where these tires come in -- replace your tire to get set up for the winter, or put this on your trainer wheel, and you won't put needless miles on your good rubber. Smart.
Simple and smooth
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I like things that work and this tire works very well. Its so much quieter and wears much better than a road tire. I mounted this to my old Bontrager Select wheel without any problems. With about 5 hours on the tire so far, it shows no wear and I can finally hear Coach Troy on the DVD player without waking up the kid.
Difficult to mount
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
We all know that tires can be fussy and difficult to mount at times but this one was darn near impossible to get on the rim. Was it worth the bruised thumbs and busted knuckles? Probably not.
Nice trainer tire
So I was a little bent that I trashed my last set of tires using them on my rollers. So when I saw this, I had to try it out (bought a set when I bought my replacement tires). So far so good - quiet, stayed on the rims, good traction on the rollers and what not. I bit pricey for spares, but I like that I'm not trashing my road tires.

EMI: Who's Bidding? Nearly Everyone Who Bid for Warner Music Group
By Ed Christman
With the deadline for first-round bids in the EMI auction looming this weekend, sources say that many of the suitors who bid on Warner Music Group have also bid on the British major.
While nearly a dozen suitors made bids for WMG, in an auction won by Access Industries, which last week assumed control of that company by paying $3.3 billion, Billboard.biz has confirmed that at least five of those companies had bid on EMI, or were readying to do so at presstime.
Those companies are the Access Industries, which hopes to buy all of EMI and merge it with the Warner Music Group; Universal Music Group, which wants to buy EMI's recorded music operation and merge it with its own; Sony Corp., which wants to purchase EMI Music Publishing and merge it with Sony/ATV Music Publishing; and BMG, which wants to buy the EMI's publishing arm and certain catalog masters.
In addition, Platinum Equity and the Gore Group, one of the three finalists for WMG, wants to buy all of EMI; and MacAndrews & Forbes, the investment arm of billionaire Ronald Perelman, is expected to make a bid; as are Oaktree Capital Management.
The auction initially is expected to follow the form of the WMG auction, which asked for each suitor to put in their best bids for the whole company and/or specific bids for the publishing and recorded music operations. After EMI owner Citigroup gets a feel for where all the bidders stand, it is expected to allow suitors to form alliance later on, if it chooses to sell the company in its entirety.
In the case of the latter suitors mentioned above, last time out MacAndrews & Forbes only bid on WMG's label; it was unclear at press time if it intends to follow the same strategy this time or will bid on the entire company.
Meanwhile, Oaktree Capital Management, in conjunction with Primary Wave Music Publishing, initially was believed to be seeking to purchase Warner/Chappell. But after the private equity owners of WMG decided to sell WMG in one piece, sources say that Oaktree was involved in the joint bid made by several bidders, who planned on splitting up the company. That bid was termed a higher-conditional bid at $8.50 a share, but the WMG board went for the sure lower $8.25 by Access. At the time, Billboard reported that joint bid was offered by Sony, Guggenheim Partners and Ronald Perelman's MacAndrews & Forbes. But as it turns out, Guggenheim Partners was not a part of the joint bid and was acting as an agent for Oaktree, sources now say.
At presstime, it was also unclear if Oaktree/Primary Wave would bid on just the publishing or make a play for the entire company.
Reps for EMI did not respond to Billboard.biz's request for comment, while the suitors either didn't respond or offered no comment.

Peruvian Sol Rises Most in 10 Months After Unexpected Rate Pause
Peru's currency rallied after the central bank unexpectedly kept borrowing costs unchanged yesterday on the prospect of growth rebounding and as inflation eases more slowly than expected.
The sol strengthened 0.7 percent to 2.794 per U.S. dollar at the close of trading in Lima, the most since Sept. 18, according to Datatec prices. That's the steepest increase among the five-most traded currencies in Latin America.
Peru held the overnight rate at 3.75 percent yesterday, surprising 12 of 18 economists surveyed by Bloomberg who forecast a quarter-point cut to 3.50 percent. Six analysts expected no change. At the same time, policy makers lowered the reserve requirement ratio for soles to 11 percent from 11.5 percent. Rates will stay on hold for the rest of this year, said Francisco Rodriguez, an economist at Bank of America Corp.
Lowering reserve requirements "suggests that the central bank board considered these policy measures today as alternatives to address the economy's deceleration," wrote Rodriguez in an e-mailed note to clients. Inflationary pressures "limit its ability to further loosen policy," he said.
Rodriguez had expected the bank to lower the key rate by a quarter-point yesterday and previously forecast a similar reduction next month.
The central bank unexpectedly cut the rate by a quarter-point last month after the economy lost momentum in the first half of 2014 amid an export slump. The move fueled a 0.9 percent loss in the sol in the four weeks before yesterday's meeting.
Boosting Growth
Public sector pay increases and tax incentives to spur the construction industry will help fuel a recovery in the fourth quarter of this year, Finance Minister Miguel Castilla told reporters July 28.
"The fiscal impulse is going to be very strong," said Alfredo Thorne, the founder of Thorne & Associates, a Lima-based research and investment advisory firm who expected the central bank to keep rates unchanged yesterday. "The increase in public sector wages will add to consumption."
The country's sol-denominated notes due in 2020 dropped 0.39 centimo to 115.61 centimos per sol, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg. The yield rose seven basis points, or 0.07 percentage point, to 4.80 percent.
Policy makers have moved to shore up business sentiment as slowing Chinese growth damps mining investment in Peru, the world's third-largest copper producer.
Growth Horizon
Public and private investment growth probably slowed close to zero in the first half of this year amid declining revenue from copper and gold, the central bank said in a July 18 report.
Peru's $200 billion economy expanded 1.8 percent in May, the weakest annual pace since 2009, as mining, fishing and manufacturing contracted. Exports fell 12 percent in the first five months of 2014, extending last year's 9.4 percent slide.
While June was "a very bad month," growth appears to have strengthened in July and is likely to continue accelerating, central bank President Julio Velarde told reporters in Lima yesterday.
"Apparently the lowest point for economic activity was June and in part because of primary sectors," Velarde said. He reiterated the bank's forecast for growth of close to 6 percent in 2015 as mining, fishing and agriculture output rebounds.
Peru's statistics agency will report activity for June on Aug. 15.
Export Outlook
Policy makers haven't cut at two consecutive meetings since the third quarter of 2009 when the economy was in the middle of a recession. Neighboring Chile has lowered rates 75 basis points this year while Mexico cut by 50 basis points at its June meeting.
Economic growth falling to zero would prompt Peru to cut again and that isn't in the cards, Thorne said. The prospect of rising U.S. interest rates also justifies the bank's decision to pause this month, he said.
Fiscal stimulus, rising output from Chinalco Mining Corp. International's new copper mine, and the start of construction on infrastructure projects including the Lima subway will fuel a recovery, said Thorne.
"We have a much better global scenario for the second half, which paves the way for exports to recover," said Roberto Flores, the head of research at Inteligo SAB, by phone from Lima.
The central bank's easing of the reserve requirement ratio since June 2013 has freed up 9.5 billion soles to boost lending in local currency, the bank said yesterday. It previously lowered the ratio July 1.
Outstanding bank loans rose at an annual pace of 15 percent in June compared with 13 percent in December.
'More Cautious'
Slower economic growth has hurt demand for big-ticket consumer goods, such as cars. Jose Molina, head of sales at Motormundo, a car showroom on the edge of Lima's financial district that caters to the city's emerging middle class, said sales of even the least expensive models are falling short of projections.
"People are being much more cautious and are looking for bargains," Molina said. "There'll be a rebound in the second half."
Consumer prices rose 0.43 percent last month while the annual inflation rate was 3.33 percent, the slowest in six months. The central bank targets inflation in a range of 1 percent to 3 percent.
In its comuniqué yesterday, the bank said supply-side inflationary pressures are moderating more slowly than expected.
Inflation may return to the target range this month and is likely to remain close to 3 percent in "the coming months," Adrian Armas, central bank research director, told reporters during a conference call today.
The bias on monetary policy is for further easing, depending on future economic data, Armas said. The economy is forecast to recover gradually and will be closer to its potential growth rate by the first quarter of 2015, he said.

Troublesome Psp 3.02
Posted 21 June 2007 - 02:09 AM
Basically I have a 3.02 that refuses to load any games, and i believe its a firmware issue and not a faulty laser.
W/out being able to load my gta i cant downgrade it.
Is there anyway to re apply 3.02 to try to get it to load umd's? or any other avenue i should pursue?
or am i pretty boned here
Posted 21 June 2007 - 02:26 AM
If your UMD's will load at 3.03 then you can go ahead and downgrade with your GTA

i upgraded it to 3.03 oe-c
and then back down to 1.5. so im set now,
i havent been in the psp scene for a couple months,
whats the best hack/exploit to install on 1.5 these days?
Posted 21 June 2007 - 07:19 AM
If you are currently at 1.5, i would recommend going up to 3.40 OE-A. Being at the newest custom firmware is the safest thing to do.
Posted 21 June 2007 - 01:31 PM
its now got 3.40 oe a on it,
Im having some trouble getting it to load iso's but i figure its something that i can google my way out of.
Posted 21 June 2007 - 03:13 PM
iso's that others have reported working on 3.40 oe-a
but everytime i load these from the iso folder on the root dir, i just get a black screen.
this is with every iso ive tried thus far.
Ive tried ratchet and clank, size matters,
syphon filter, Metal gear solid portable ops,
killzone liberation,
with gta lcs umd in there

the option that most ppl and sites mention no umd boot was disabled, but that wasnt the problem,
Posted 21 June 2007 - 06:37 PM
first go to recovery mode, if you dont know how to do that you turn off the psp (not standby, hold the power switch for a couple of seconds), then hold down R while its booting
select Configuration
this is how i have mine set up:
Skip SCE logo (currently: Enabled)
Hide corrupt icons (currently: Enabled)
Game folder homebrew (currently: 1.50 kernel)
Autorun program at /PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP (currently: Disabled)
Use NO-UMD (currently: Disabled)
Fake region (currently: Disabled)
Free UMD Region (currently: Disabled)
Make sure you make yours match mine exactly
Then go back to the main menu and select advanced, then select Advanced configuration
Make sure Plain modules in UMD/ISO is enabled
After you do that, try loading a game
EDIT: Nevermind, I see you got it

From the Department of Medicine (Drs Whelan and Meltzer and Ms Jin) and the School of Economics and Harris School of Public Policy Studies (Dr Meltzer), University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill. The authors have no relevant financial interest in this article.
Pain is common in many populations of hospitalized patients. It is unknown if any populations of hospitalized patients are at low risk for pain. We studied the prevalence of pain and satisfaction with pain control in a general medicine inpatient service to determine if this population was at low risk for pain.
We performed a prospective cohort study of 5584 hospitalized patients. Pain and pain control were assessed in a follow-up telephone survey. Predictors of pain were determined through administrative databases and patient survey.
Of the study patients, 59% had pain (28% reported severe, 19% moderate, and 12% mild pain). Among patients with common diagnoses, those with sickle cell crisis were the most likely and those with syncope were the least likely to report significant pain (90% and 34%, respectively). Patient characteristics significantly associated with increased pain included DRG (diagnosis related group) weight (odds ratio [OR], 1.19), Charlson Index score (OR, 1.03), age older than 65 years (OR, 0.65), female sex (OR, 1.17), and education level higher than high school (OR, 1.31). Pain was reported by 28% of patients without high-risk characteristics for pain; and 82.2% of patients were satisfied, 11.1% somewhat satisfied, and 6.7% dissatisfied with their pain treatment.
Pain was common in the study population and more patients rated their pain as severe than as moderate or mild. Pain was dispersed among diagnoses. Although most patients thought that their pain was adequately controlled, 18% of patients with pain (10% of all patients) reported that their pain was inadequately controlled. Although patient characteristics were associated with pain or dissatisfaction with pain control, they were weak predictors and significant pain was common even in populations at the lowest-risk for pain.
The recognition and treatment of pain in hospitalized patients has recently received increased attention. Several studies have demonstrated that pain is common and pain treatment inadequate.1- 4 In response to these findings, many major health care organizations have made concerted efforts to improve pain management strategies.5- 8 The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has developed a pain management program that must be implemented by all health care organizations to maintain complete accreditation. Moreover, JCAHO requires that all patients admitted to a health care facility be covered by the facility's pain management program.8 Organizations such as JCAHO have based these nonselective regulations on data from studies in hospitalized populations at high risk for pain. Most hospitalized patients with cancer as well as postsurgical and critically ill patients experience pain, which justifies a broad systematic approach to pain management.1,2,4,9- 11 While these studies support a universal approach to pain management in populations at high risk for pain, no adequate data justify a nonselective approach. Obtaining data supporting a nonselective approach to pain management is important, however, because a widely applied systematic approach risks missing certain populations at high risk, and, therefore, the worsening of pain management practices for those who are the most in need. Thus, by risk-stratifying patients from a sufficiently large group at low risk for pain, it may be possible to improve the overall effectiveness of pain management programs and focus on patients who are the most at risk. We attempted to identify a population of hospitalized patients of sufficiently large size and low risk to cause JCAHO and other similar organizations to reconsider their use of a nonselective approach to pain management.
Hospitalized general medicine patients, specifically excluding those who have cancer, are postsurgical, or under critical care, may be the optimal population to answer this question for several reasons. As a group, they account for a large portion of hospitalized patients; and as they do not fall into any of the categories known to be at high risk for pain, they may be overall at a significantly lower risk. Finally, the breadth of characteristics, both demographic and diagnostic, may reveal significant differences among subpopulations within this group. If a selective approach is not justifiable for these patients, it is unlikely to be useful in other hospitalized populations. However, the pain burden in hospitalized general medicine patients has not been adequately studied. Prior studies have been small and/or included a large percentage of study patients among populations at high risk for pain.2,12- 15
In this study, we used a large cohort of hospitalized general medicine patients to identify the level and severity of the pain that they experienced and to determine if this population was at significantly lower risk for pain than previously studied populations. We also measured the level of satisfaction with pain control as reported by patients who experienced pain. Finally, we looked for predictors that could identify significant numbers of patients within this group who might be at low risk for pain. We chose to examine specific patient characteristics that have been found to be associated with pain and/or satisfaction with pain control in previous studies.1,2,16- 18
Data were collected over a 3-year period, from July 1, 1997, to June 30, 2000, for patients who were admitted to the general medicine inpatient service of a single urban academic medical center. Characteristics obtained from hospital administrative databases and patient surveys included age, sex, race, educational levels, DRG (diagnosis related group) weight, and Charlson Index score.19 The enrolled patients were contacted 30 days after discharge and a telephone questionnaire was administered. Patients who left the hospital without being approached were also contacted 30 days after discharge and interviewed over the telephone if they consented. Three questions about pain and pain control taken from the Picker/Commonwealth Survey of Quality20 were included in the questionnaire. The patients were first asked if they experienced any pain during their hospital stay. If they did not experience any pain, no further responses were needed. If they experienced pain, they were asked if the pain was mild, moderate, or severe. They were also asked how they rated their satisfaction with their providers' pain management.
The study was approved by the University of Chicago's institutional review board.
We used 1-way analysis of variance and χ2 tests to compare baseline characteristics between study patients and patients who were eligible but not included (they were not enrolled in the study, or were interviewed in the hospital but did not have a follow-up interview 30 days after discharge). We used logistic regression to test the bivariate correlation between having significant pain (moderate or severe)1 and being satisfied with pain control during hospital stay, and patient characteristics. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to discern independent associations between the probability of experiencing significant pain and patient characteristics. We also used multivariate logistic regressions to model the effects of patient characteristics and the levels of pain experienced on the probability of achieving a certain level of satisfaction with pain control. In all the multivariate regressions, we included as dummy indicator the month of admission.
Of the 11 191 patients admitted to the general medicine inpatient service, 6596 were interviewed in the hospital and 5605 agreed to participate in the study and completed the 30-day follow up interview process. The participants were predominantly African American (80%), and a majority were women (63%). There were no dominant diagnoses among the 20 most frequent diagnoses, which accounted for 1.2% to 7.1% of all admissions. The enrolled patients differed significantly in several baseline characteristics from those who were eligible but not enrolled. The study population included more women and fewer African Americans, and had lower DRG weights and lower Charlson Index scores (Table 1).
Pain was common among the study patients. Of the 59% who experienced pain during their hospitalization in the general medicine service, 12% reported mild pain, 19% moderate pain, and 28% severe pain; and 6.7% thought that their physicians definitely did not do everything they could to relieve their pain, while 17.8% thought that their physicians did less than everything they could (Figure 1).
Patients' report of satisfaction with pain management.
Among the 25 most common primary diagnoses, which account for 60% of the total population, sickle cell crisis had the highest percentage (90%) of patients reporting moderate or severe pain while syncope had the lowest percentage (34%). Primary diagnosis was significantly associated with the presence of pain (P = .02) (Figure 2).
Percentage of patients with the 25 most frequent diagnoses who reported having experienced moderate or severe pain. AP indicates abdominal pain; ARF, acute renal failure; CD, colon diverticulosis; CHF, congestive heart failure; DM, diabetes melitus; GM, graft malfunction; HRF, hypertensive renal failure; IO, intestinal obstruction; OCB, obstructive chronic bronchitis; PE, pulmonary embolism; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma; UTI, urinary tract infection; VT, venous thrombosis.
A higher Charlson Index score was positively associated with experiencing significant pain (moderate or severe) (odds ratio [OR], 1.03; P = .03), as was logged DRG weight (OR, 1.19; P = .004). Although the Charlson Index score was not associated with patients' rating of satisfaction with pain management (Table 2), a higher logged DRG weight was (OR, 1.28; P = .02).
We examined several demographic characteristics as predictors of the presence of pain, the severity of pain, and reported satisfaction with pain control. Subjects 65 years or older were less likely to report significant pain (OR, 0.65; P<.001). However, there was no association between age and satisfaction with pain management. Female patients were more likely to report significant pain (OR, 1.17; P = .006). There was also no association between sex and satisfaction with pain management among patients with pain. African Americans were less likely to report significant pain (OR, 0.83; P = .006) and were also more likely to report being satisfied with their pain management (OR, 1.45; P = .001). Patients with higher levels of education reported more significant pain (OR, 1.14; P<.001) and were less satisfied with their pain management (OR, 0.88; P = .02).
We performed logistic regressions to identify the independent effect of each predictor on the patients' pain severity and satisfaction with pain control. Each of the following predictors was independently associated with patients being less likely to have moderate or severe pain: age (P<.001), male sex (P<.001), a lower log DRG weight (P = .001), high school or lower educational level (P<.001), a lower Charlson Index score (P = .008), and being African American (P = .04). Among patients who reported having pain, only the following predictors were independently associated with greater satisfaction with pain control: being African American (P = .002) and a higher logged DRG weight (P = .02).
Among the 25 most common diagnoses, the cumulative pain burden for the 5 diagnoses with the highest percentage of patients with pain accounted for 7.1% of the population and for 10% of the total pain burden in the population. All 25 of the common diagnoses accounted for approximately 60% of the patients and 60% of the total moderate/severe pain burden (Figure 3).
Cumulative percentage of pain by diagnosis. AP indicates abdominal pain; ARF, acute renal failure; CD, colon diverticulosis; CHF, congestive heart failure; DM, diabetes melitus; GM, graft malfunction; HRF, hypertensive renal failure; IO, intestinal obstruction; OCB, obstructive chronic bronchitis; PE, pulmonary embolism; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma; UTI, urinary tract infection; VT, venous thrombosis.
Significant percentages of patients in the statistically significant low-risk predictor groups (age >65 years, male sex, educational level of high school or less, lower Charlson Index score, lower log DRG weight, and being African American) still reported having moderate or severe pain. Among patients 65 years or older, 39.3% reported having experienced moderate or severe pain; 43.4% of male patients reported moderate or severe pain; 44.6% of African Americans reported moderate or severe pain; 44% of patients with no more than a high school education reported moderate or severe pain; and 28% of patients in the lowest risk predictor profile (elderly African American men with no more than a high school education and who were in the 50th percentile or lower for Charlson Index scores and DRG weight) reported moderate or severe pain and accounted for only 97 patients, or 1.9% of the total population.
We found that patients hospitalized in a general medicine service carry a heavy pain burden. A large percentage of our study patients had experienced pain, and a significant percentage was dissatisfied with the pain management that they had received. Our data for pain prevalence and severity closely resembled those reported for populations thought to be at high risk for pain. While we identified several predictors of pain, we were unable to identify a population truly at a low risk using these predictors. Therefore, it may be important to think of all patients hospitalized in general medicine services as being at high risk for pain, just as we do for patients with cancer and for critically ill and postoperative patients.
Patients' satisfaction with pain control is the key measure of the success of a pain management system. We found that almost 20% of the patients who had experienced pain (representing about 10% of the total of the hospitalized population) were less than satisfied with pain management. While 10% may seem to be a small target for a systematic approach to improve quality, it represents a significantly larger group than patients with the most common primary diagnosis (asthma, 6.7%) in this population.
This population appears to have a significant pain burden and prevalence of dissatisfaction with pain management, which supports the need for improved methods of pain recognition and management. We were interested in determining if there were subpopulations who could be identified as being at low risk for pain. We chose to use single predictor models as primary measures because any practical predictor, as a rule, must be explicit and straightforward. Several characteristics were predictive of a decreased risk of significant pain, ie, male sex, age 65 years or older, lower DRG weight, lower Charlson Index score, primary diagnosis, and being African American. However, no characteristic by itself was able to adequately predict that a group of patients was truly at low risk for pain. Likewise, primary diagnosis is also not an adequate predictor of low risk despite large differences in pain prevalence for each diagnosis (32%-90%). If a small number of diagnoses (5-10) accounted for a larger percentage of the total population's pain burden, then targeting patients with these diagnoses may be an efficient method of treating pain. However, the wide spectrum of diseases on a general medicine service and the broad distribution of pain across diagnoses renders this approach impractical. Even when using multivariate prediction models, we were unable to identify a group at low risk for pain. Using the multivariate model, we found that more than one quarter of the patients in the lowest predictor group had experienced significant pain. These analyses suggest that while patient characteristics may be predictors of pain, as all patients are at significant risk for pain, JCAHO is correct to advocate for a universal systems approach to pain management.
Although patient-specific predictors were not helpful in identifying populations at particularly low risk, they may provide a better understanding of pain and satisfaction with pain management. Independent predictors for pain or dissatisfaction with pain control identified in multivariate analyses included age 65 years or older, male sex, educational level no higher than high school, lower log DRG weight, lower Charlson Index score, and being African American. While it may be clear why disease severity is positively associated with pain levels, why the demographic predictors have the associations we reported may be less intuitive. The only demographic predictors independently associated with higher satisfaction with pain management are higher DRG weight and being African American. It is interesting to consider why sicker patients who experience more pain are more satisfied with their pain control. It is possible that the more acutely ill patients receive more medical attention during their hospitalization than those less ill, and therefore feel more satisfied with their pain management. While this study does not answer any specific questions about how race, age, educational level, and sex affect pain and pain management, it continues to suggest that these characteristics are important to consider when thinking about measuring, treating, and studying pain.
There are several strengths to this study. It is a large prospective cohort study of a previously understudied population. The patients had a wide variety of medical conditions but very few disease-specific attributes previously thought to be predictors of high risk for pain. Most patients were African American, a population that is traditionally understudied. There are some limitations that are worth noting as well. While our measurement tools for pain and satisfaction with pain control were from the well-described Picker/Commonwealth Survey on Quality, they are significantly more limited in scope and less traditionally used in the pain literature than other validated pain instruments.21- 24 For the purpose of measuring prevalence, however, this tool is adequate. The surveys were also given 30 days after discharge, which could have influenced patient reports. However, recent studies suggest that patients' recall of experienced pain may be reliable up to at least 3 months.25,26 Moreover, our enrolled patients differed from those not enrolled, and some of the differences pertained to the characteristics that affect pain or satisfaction with pain control. However, the direction of predicted effects on our results was variable (more women and fewer African Americans were enrolled, for example), which, we believe, would reduce any effect on our results. One additional limitation of our study is that we did not have exact pain locations or etiologies. Collecting these data in future studies might provide added insights for predicting and managing pain. Finally, although this is a large study, it was based in 1 urban academic medical center, which may limit its generalizability to other settings.
Despite these limitations, it is clear that pain and dissatisfaction with pain management are common in patients hospitalized in general medical services. The JCAHO recommendations for a universal systematic approach to pain management are supported by this study. Future studies on pain and pain control in hospitalized patients are needed to address the best practice approach to managing pain, and intervention trials will ultimately be required. This study may prove useful for future studies. Specifically, we used a brief postdischarge survey that could easily be used in large-scale studies. Our data support findings obtained from other populations, that patient characteristics can influence the level of the pain experienced, which suggests that approaches to patients' pain may benefit from tailoring. Finally, our results emphasize that pain is common even in hospitalized patients at the lowest risk, and that each person must be considered high risk.

Genre: Gonzo
When you're out and you meet someone, and you just HAVE to fuck them immediately, you drag them into the bathroom and screw their brains out — right there and then — in the dirty stall. And that's what me and all my slutty girlfriends did in this movie. There's nothing "charming" about this third time ... it's three times as dirty and nasty as the ones before it!
Joanna Angel has a way of taking something as seedy as rough, anonymous sex in a non-residential bathroom and making it seem like a whimsical adventure in healthy sexual exploration — which is not to say that it doesn't still feel deliciously seedy.
Cali Nova pulls James Deen away from his ATM and into a trendy bar's toilet, where she proceeds to fuck and suck all over the place. Then she takes his money. Steve Holmes' daily wank in a tattoo parlor john leads to what could become a regular encounter with toilet seat-licking anal princess Sparky.
Andy San Dimas is such a big fan of Mick Blue's music that she steals all his CDs. Fortunately, he's the forgiving type. Angel tries to hit on Alex Gonz at a groovy but sparsely populated night spot, but he's only got eyes for lusciously chubby Baby Sinead, who proves plenty limber inside the men's room stall.
Nova T.A. and Angel take over one side of a co-ed bathroom wall 'o sinks after Deen and Draven Star take up residency on the other side for a double-up scene that never lags. Good stuff all around, including a great soundtrack and quality extras.

Sometimes… =-O
He WAS impeached. But the Senate didn't convict.
Of course the Left can't understand the issue because for them "limited government" makes no more sense than "square circle".
No, they did not "form a committee". One guy (Kucinich, I think), did draw up a resolution, but the last real Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, clearly said "Impeachment is off the table."
While I personally was disappointed, since going to war under a lie is a high crime and misdemeanor, I don't expect any of you to understand that. Or anything else, for that matter.
After what Dick Cheney and his puppet "W" did to this country, I am amazed that there a still Republicans.
there are, sorry,
Didn't democrats form a comittee to imeach Bush? Not a "smidgen" of hyporisy there.
Just a huge load of shinola from the memory impaired is all.
@pschearer too has a memory lapse. Only Dennis Kucinich had the back bone, and incorruptible mien, to even attempt it even though both parties are in the Plutocrat's pocket. He was one of the few who were not and could never get elected because of it.
Bush should have been impeached. Lying to go to war is a lot worse than lying about a blow job.
With what Obama has done to this country, you should be amazed that there are still people that support him.
I didn't realize Sarah Palin was a left fringer.
Reps have been talking about impeachment since he first entered office….don't you watch Fox?
Wow, m, do you just plug your ears and go "lalalalalala" whenever a Republican talks about impeachment? Last I checked, these folks were not leftists: Michele Bachmann, James Inhofe, Tom Coburn, Blake Farenthold, Kerry Bentivolio, the convention of the South Dakota Republican Party, Alan West, Sarah Palin. Shall I go on? Of course, I'm sure you won't read this, since you just toss out your lies and don't bother to clean up your messes.
What has Obama "done" to this country? I'm not a fan of his corporatist leanings, but he hasn't plunged the country into debt, hasn't started any new wars, has helped get millions of more people good health insurance. So instead of throwing out bombs of vagueness, put up some specifics and we can compare and contrast with the last clown the Republicans sent to the White House. And, for that matter, the algae-for-brains that the Republicans have got in Congress.
There's a difference between understanding something and agreeing with it, p. I'd say plenty folks on "the Left" don't agree with your Randian visions precisely because they understand it. But by your logic, I suppose you can't understand a word I've just typed.
Just the hyper Randian Libertarian Tea Partiers are the loons in the Republican party.
