The new Olympus Stylus XZ-10 is the smallest Olympus premium digital compact since the Mju Digital launched ten years ago.
Late last year Olympus updated its two year old XZ-1 premium compact camera with the XZ-2 (which is now available in white, incidentally). If there was a criticism of the XZ-2 it was that the addition of an articulating touch screen, while welcome in many ways - had made it more bulky than its predecessor. In anticipation of this reaction Olympus had the XZ-10 up its sleeve. This is a veritable compact camera; 40% lower in volume than an XZ-2 which means there isn't even room enough for a hot shoe, for example and this also means none of the Accessory Port connector hot shoe peripherals compatible with the XZ-1 and XZ-2 are available to XZ-10 photographers.
On the plus side, Olympus has produced only its third compact camera zoom lens to earn the Zuiko moniker, the two others being the XZ01 and XZ-2. Coupled with a slightly smaller 1/2.3rd inch CMOS 12 megapixel back-lit sensor compared to the XZ-2, the new i.Zuiko 5x zoom lens has an equivalent range of 26-130mm and maximum brightness of f/1.8 at the wide end of the range, moderating to f/2.7 at the tele end. An ISO range extending from 100 to 6400 is provided and sensor-shift image stabilisation for slow shutter stability are provided. RAW format recording is also featured.
The XZ-10 gets a 3 inch 920,000 dot (VGA) touch screen although this is a resistive-touch type rather than capacitive. Resistive works with finger nails and other pointed objects but is less responsive to light touch fingertip action. One touch focus and shoot is supported.
1080 and 720 HD movie recording is selectable, at 30p frame rates, and you can also choose 120 frames per second in 720 resolution for slow motion effects. Stereo microphones are built in.
If you are familiar with the XZ-1 or XZ-2 you will be pleased to see that a control ring surrounding the lens base has been retained, although this can no longer be used for manual focusing. Instead it is used for functions like exposure settings adjustment - conventiona; PASM modes are provided alongside scene and iAuto modes.
Olympus' Art Filter modes are supported and these are supplemented by a Photo Story feature which enables you to create a sort of photo montage incorporating several images.
Low light photography is something Olympus us waving the flag about for he XZ-10. With the brightness of f/1.8 on tap iHS processing in conjunction with Olympus TruePic VI image processor, combined with a back-lit CMOS sensor there is scope for some low light cleverness and one feature that grabbed our attention was a claim that using a special mode you can take photos at night under the stars, hand-held, without a tripod. With brighter conditions the shutter can reach 1/2000th second.
Construction-wise the XZ-10 has a metal casing and feels solidly screwed together. Controls do fight for space but aren't microscopically small. Besides the control ring on the lens there is a thumb wheel/dial on the back of the camera, and let's not forget the touch screen too.
The usual multi-function USB/remote release/AV port Olympus has been using for many years is retained and is accompanied by a micro HDMI port. For wireless connectivity the XZ-10 will work with EyeFI and FlashAir wifi flash memory cards. While there is no hot shoe, the XZ-10 has a pop-up flash and this can be used as a multi-channel controller for Olympus RC wireless control flash units.
Finally, here is a selection of menu screens to give you a feel for the XZ-10's operation, including the Photo Story feature.
So there you have it, the promise of Zuiko lens quality and typical Olympus attributes like Art Filters and sensor shift IS in a miniscule package. Is this a camera that ticks your boxes?

I have thick light yellow discharge on a daily basis.
Resolved Question:
I have thick light yellow discharge on a daily basis. I have went to the doctor a number of times and they tell me that it is normal. The discharge is irritating me and there is nothing I can do about it. The first time I went to the doctor I was told I had bacterial vaginosis. I was given medicine. I took the medicine, felt improvement for a couple of weeks, but felt the same soon after. I than went back to see if I had a yeast infection, but was told that I did not have a yeast infection. My discharge does not smell, but a lot comes out when I go to the bathroom, and if not when I go to the bathroom than in my panties. Is my discharge normal or is there something wrong with me? My vaginal area is irritated and because of the irritation I find myself going to the bathroom a lot. The irritation started when I turned 22 and has been happening since. Please help! Thank you!

A yellow vaginal discharge could be an easily treated vaginal infection, such as gardnella or bacterial vaginosis. Refrain
from any type of douching, as
douching can not only disrupt the normal pH of your body, but can also make it more open to infection. Also avoid any type of sprays or powders.
BV is treated with a course of antibiotics.
Male partners generally do not need to be treated. However, BV may spread between female sex partners. Your doctor may suggest treatment of your partner if you have frequent infections. You can read more about BV here
To help prevent BV eat at least 8 oz (226.8 g) of yogurt with live L. acidophilus cultures as part of your long-term daily diet. Consider using birth control pills, which reduce the hormonal changes in the vagina that may lead to BV. Limit the number of your sex partners. Multiple sex partners increase your risk of developing BV by changing the normal environment of the vagina. Only leave a tampon or diaphragm in for a limited length of time.

I was told that I no longer had bacterial vaginosis or any infection, but that my discharge was normal. Yet, I still see the light yellow discharge. Can I possibly be allergic to something. I never douche, use tampons, or use powders. I am going to try using a different toilet tissue. Right now I am using Kirkland toilet tissue. Through research online, i have found that the tissue is not scented, but I smell a slight scent so I am going to try a different brand. Do you know of anything that I can do, use, or is this something that I am going to have to leave as is? I also not sexually active, but have been tested for yeast infection and UTI as mentioned before. Thank you for your help!
Nurse Annie
replied 8 years ago.
A yellow discharge is not normal and all, and is always indicative of bacterial vaginosis or
gardnella so I am not sure why you were told that it is normal.
L. acidophilus that is in yogurt can be beneficial, so I would most definately try this.
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 8 years ago.
Is there any reason why I might be getting recurrent gardnella or BV if I am not sexually active and is there a reason why my having BV does not show up on my tests that I have had done. I am frustrated because I have tried every possible thing I can try and nothing seems to work.
Sorry to be so persistent in asking, but this has been going on for sometime. I have been tested over and over and am told the same thing.
Nurse Annie
replied 8 years ago.
I am not sure why testing is not revealing an infection, since this type of discharge is always indicative of infection. Risk factors for BV include sex, history of STDs, douching, and tampon, diaphragm, and IUD use. It is also sometimes linked to hormonal changes. Other than these causes, not much is known about what causes it. Another thing you can try with I didn't mention above, is to insert lactobacilli in gelatin capsules, tablet form, or yogurt form into your vagina. You can do this for a week. There was a study of women who did this, and 88% were infection free when they were tested 2 months after treatment.

I could not figure out why I was lacking in energy and just did not feel "good". I started getting Chiropractic care with Dr. Todd and he explained to me how Chiropractic care would correct what was wrong in my spine- which was causing interference on my nervous system. Now it all makes sense! I get adjusted regularly now and I feel AMAZING! I have my energy back! Thank you Dr. Todd!

Definition of ultramodern in English:
Incorporating ideas, styles, or techniques only recently developed or available: a wave of ultramodern architecture
More example sentences
- The Rice Center hired a Boston PhD, who told Amdall that he had a perfect model for predicting ridership: the elevated, automated, very ultramodern Detroit People Mover.
- The projects Eck chose for the book are not ultramodern or hypertraditional in style.
- When it made the switch from Granada to SubWorld they renovated the lobby and lower lounge in that mad 60s jet-age style, and the contrast between the ultramodern public areas and the oddly archaic theater was part of its charm.

Definition of lectrice in English:
A female lector in a university.
Example sentences
- I had a great interview for a lectrice position at one university, then was told by another that the position required a Master's.
- The position of lectrice is similar to that of an assistante d' anglais, except that students at Bordeaux work in a university setting rather than in a school, so that they are working with more advanced students normally majoring in English studies.
- It is your responsibility to write letters and translate documents, but it is reasonable to ask for consultation with your lecteur / lectrice and/or your Director of Studies.
Late 19th century: from French, literally 'female reader'.

But real ADHD is no faddish syndrome. Distraction, says Blake, turned his brain into "a television with the channel changing uncontrollably."
Looking at Blake now -- a UC Berkeley Leadership Award-winning college freshman chatting amiably between classes, a fraternity rush party and a quick workout at the gym -- it's hard to imagine him as an impulsive, unintentional arsonist.
Of course, it took a while to get to this point.
Nadine Taylor-Barnes knew something was off when her son was just 3, and she found herself on the receiving end of every conceivable critical remark. Help arrived via a Vassar College classmate whose son had been recently diagnosed with ADHD. She took one look at Blake, then 5, at a Vassar reunion event and told Nadine, "Get him to a specialist and get him treated. Don't go through what I went through with my son."
Nadine never looked back.
Funny thing is, the very solutions Blake's family concocted to deal with his extreme hyperactivity, disorganization, ADHD and an intellect that was off the charts ended up landing him an enviable college resume, laden with honors classes, foreign languages, community service, music and sports extracurriculars. Oh, and a newly published book -- "ADHD & Me: What I Learned From Lighting Fires at the Dinner Table,"
"I want to change the view that ADHD doesn't exist or that it's solely a disability," says Blake. "It's a gift."
The Hillsborough youth was applying to private high schools in San Francisco when the book idea first struck. He was writing the classic admissions essay -- describe a challenge you've faced -- when it occurred to him that his ADHD essay might become something more.
"I wanted to help a lot of other young folks and teens," he said. "Advise them on what worked for me."
The awful day he forgot his meds and spent an entire English exam period chasing thoughts about sailing, skiing and other distractions instead of Homer's "Odyssey"? That became a chapter on one of the primary symptoms of ADHD and how medication can help a patient focus.
The night he accidentally set fire to the kitchen table -- he lit a yogurt container on fire to see what would happen, then poured on alcohol-based eyeglass cleanser, which turned a small conflagration into a near-disaster -- led to a chapter on impulsivity, a classic ADHD symptom. Among his tips: Beware of boredom and fatigue, both of which affect self-control, and learn from your mistakes.
"I rarely make the same mistake twice," he writes. "I will, for example, never pour flammable liquid on a fire, shoot a crossbow near a painting, or launch a rocket near a tennis match."
It was ADHD experts and authors Edward Hallowell, who wrote "Driven to Distraction," and Walnut Creek ADHD expert Lara Honos-Webb, who penned "The Gift of ADHD," who gave the Taylors hope so many years ago. And it was Honos-Webb who wrote the foreword to Blake's book now.
"I think many times parents look at (a child's) behavior almost as an attempt to make them mad," she says. "When you see it from the inside, what you get is, it's the hard wiring. This is the way the world works for him. He's not trying to make anyone angry."
Blake's book, she says, is like seeing ADHD under a new lens.
"When you look at some of the behaviors, they're experiments gone wrong," says Honos-Webb. "Breaking things, fire starting, this drive to see what happens if I do this and this -- you see the gifts underlying it. Even the distractibility, the couldn't-focus-on-the-test, you see the creativity, the curiosity. And you realize that putting that into a multiple-choice test has its problems."
Blake is one of about 120 students involved in Cal's Disabled Students' ADHD program. Students with ADHD can arrange for additional exam time and other accommodations from their professors. But Blake's book has drawn other professorial attention too.
UC Berkeley psychology professor Stephen Hinshaw, a national ADHD expert known for his studies on boys and girls with ADHD, is considering using "ADHD & Me" in a future class. It's one thing to read clinical observations, he says, and quite another to hear a first-person account.
"Adding the personal really brings the issues home for students," he says. "It's amazing an 18-year-old wrote not just poignant and honest, but gripping material. He really talks about both the difficulties he had because of the symptoms (and) the hope that treatments can really bring."
And hope, says Honos-Webb, is a powerful thing.
"(Blake) was in a special ed class at one point," she says. "To go in 13 years from a special ed class to a published author, to me it's what can happen when you focus on the positives and you have a parent who's willing to go to bat and advocate for that child."

It can be difficult being a teen with ADHD, says author Blake Taylor, age 18, but it helps if you can understand what makes you different, and use ADHD's gifts to your advantage. Among his tips:

Building Relationships and Ongoing Business Through Revisions
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
November 12, 2010
What's a revision?
Why are they relevant and how do they contribute to long-term business relationships and corporate branding?
Learn more about voice-over revisions and how they factor in via today's VOX Daily.
What's A Revision?
A revision, as it pertains to voice-overs, is an alteration made to an existing recording, whether slight or significant.
Alterations may include the pronunciation of specific words, the interpretation of a script, or changes made to update the script over time.
Generally, revisions are made to recordings projected to be used for long periods of time. Such revisions and can also be regarded as ongoing updates to the original script.
Most revisions are needed because something changes within a company and the company needs to inform others of said changes. Additionally, the changes could be related to branding.
When Might a Revision Be Required?
- When new staff members are hired
- When a new product or service is added
- When a company moves
- When someone's title changes
- When re-branding
Most Popular Revision Gig?
The most common application of voice over that requires ongoing revisions is telephony. Generally, these revisions are needed immediately and may prove consistent in terms of income derived from ongoing clients.
This may include the auto attendant, Interactive Voice Response (IVR), messaging on-hold (MOH) and voice mail. Complicated phone trees such as ones used in large corporations and publicly traded companies are likely to be updated with more frequency than say a basic phone system recording for a small business.
When a team grows, new extensions are added and additional voice mail boxes need to be recorded. In these situations, it is customary to return to the same voice actor who recorded the phone system and hire them to record "revisions" to the script.
Maintaining Relationships
The necessity of revisions is just one reason why it is important to maintain good business relationships. Some voice actors even have special discounted revision prices for their clients.
It's definitely something to consider when selecting a talent to record. Knowing this ahead of time and making arrangements for future revisions could save a great deal of money in the long-term and will get the relationship off to a great start.
Any Thoughts?
What kind of work do you do that requires revisions? Are discounts for revisions provided to loyal clients who continue to work with you?
Looking forward to your answers!
Best wishes,

I love checking out your site. I have been acting for a while, but voice-overs is something that I have never really learned much about. Thanks for this summary on revisions.Posted by:
Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for the great update. Although telephony and MOH may seem unglamorous by some standards, being trusted with a company's "audible image" ranks high with me!
Many of my MOH/IVR jobs have expanded to much larger and more dynamic voice over projects involving PSAs, Sales Videos, E-Learning, and even Documentaries. With some of my clients, it has also lead to being their corporate international voice over.
MOH/IVR Telephony voice over jobs are rewarding, especially when you work with the business with the mentality of being a Communications Solutions Provider, instead of a Voice Over for Hire.
One tip: for all of my long term/ telephony or internet-only jobs I do, I will use one of my dynamic microphones with a neodymium magnet in them (more sensitive than old dynamics). These mics sound closer to each other no matter what the recording acoustics are and sound better than Large Diaphragm Condensers when downconverting to lower bit rates. So you get consistent results for long term projects with many revisions. Another tip for low-res or telephony jobs is to EQ out everything below 100Hz and above 10kHz. The end result will sound much better.Posted by:

The dunk: AN EXPLOSION OF GLASS
TORRINGTON -- It started innocently enough as a simple missed layup. It ended with a thunderous explosion of glass never witnessed before nor since in the Naugatuck Valley League.
Jordan Williams not only exited Torrington High for the University of Maryland as the NVL's all-time leading boys basketball scorer, but he left a legacy as the only player to ever shatter a backboard.
"It sounded like a cannon firing," Torrington coach Tony Turina recalled. "You just heard 'ba-boom' as the thing just exploded. What seemed like a second also seemed like minutes, like time just ended and passed by at the same time. After you heard the boom, it was silent, because I think everybody was just literally stunned.
"Then, all of a sudden, life came back into the gym. Kids were dancing on the sidelines and people were taking pictures and looking at each other, like, 'My God, I've never seen anything like that.'"
The dunk took place during Williams senior season on Feb. 10, 2009, with 2:26 left in the Red Raiders' game at Naugatuck High. Torrington guard Martin Mitchell split two defenders in transition and drove hard to the basket, but missed a left-handed layup.
Trailing down the center of the lane, Williams grabbed the rebound just as it came off the rim, threw it back down hard and hung onto the rim to brace himself. As the rim bowed, the glass backboard burst, sending shards of glass falling onto the eight players within 5 or 6 feet of the hoop.
"It could have been a lot worse if the rim broke off and I fell on my back or something," Williams said. "I was real fortunate and happy nothing like that happened. But looking back, it was mostly cool and exciting. It's been a big part of my life."
Thanks to Youtube, the play followed him to college and the NBA where his teammates were among the more than 115,000 who watched the video online.
"It was just like watching the old 76er Darryl Dawkins break the backboards with glass shattering everywhere," Naugy coach Kevin Wesche said. "He did it as just a matter-of-fact type of thing, like 'This is what I do.' He was cool, calm and collected. But it was pretty spectacular."
Williams, a 6-foot-10, 250-pound senior who had signed with Maryland two weeks earlier, said one of his favorite memories was silencing the 200 or so Naugy fans in the gym.
"I specifically remember just before the dunk the crowd was chanting, 'What's a Terp? What's a Terp?' (and) trying to push my buttons a little bit," Williams said. "It just felt good to get a dunk right after they were saying that. I think breaking the backboard and shattering the glass spoke for itself."
Coaches and school officials checked all of the players to make sure no one was hurt. The only sign of any injury was a small cut on the forehead of referee Scott Temple, who thinks it came from brushing off glass.
Temple said he has watched the dunk several times on video himself.
"I noticed that after I blew the whistle, my hand just stayed up in the air for a stoppage in play," Temple said. "As I'm watching the tape, I'm like, 'Scott, put your hand down. The play is over.' I had just never seen anything like it before, and to see it in person, it just kind of shocked you. I was in awe."
He enjoyed being part of the game and seeing what a physical specimen Williams was. He was also impressed with the fluid manner Williams moved on the court, by how easily he scored and by the respectful manner he dealt with opposing players and the officials.
"I'd seen plenty of dunks before that were no big deal," said Temple, "but he went up so quickly and put the ball back down with such force."
Bill Wild, vice president of sales for Jay-Pro Sports Equipment, the Waterford company that replaced the backboard, said it took a convergence of factors to cause the glass to shatter. The H-frame, or double-drop construction of the backboard, was such that it had two pipes bolted into the glass. That particular construction is more susceptible to breaking.
"Between the force he exerted, his weight, the fact that he hung on the rim and the type of system it was, it becomes more probable, but it still doesn't happen very often," Wild said. "He gave it a wham. He gave it a good smack."
Jay-Pro is involved in gymnasium construction all over the country, and Wild said that over the past 10 years his firm has had only a handful of backboards shatter.
Naugy athletic director Tom Pompei, a Boston College graduate, was in the stands during a 1994 game against Providence when BC's Gerrod Abram shattered a backboard. But the glass just spider-webbed and never fell to the floor.
"Jordan's dunk was surreal and really awesome despite the ($2,000) expense of replacing the backboard and the aggravation of having to make up the end of the fourth quarter," Pompei said. "I remember the Naugy kids were just running around like wild men afterwards. They just couldn't believe what they had just seen."
Naugatuck guard Anthony Mariano, the Greyhounds' leading scorer in the game with 25 points, had mixed emotions about the dunk. He's a good friend of Williams and had played with him on the Connecticut Kings AAU team the year before, when a Williams dunk caused a Waterbury YMCA backboard to crack into a spider-web.
Seeing the Naugy backboard pop and explode was a little too close to home.
"It's something I surely won't forget," said Mariano. "But I guess the competitiveness in me came out, and I wasn't too happy that it happened, especially since it delayed the game and we ended up finishing it (in Torrington) the next day."
School officials considered finishing the game immediately in Naugy's other gym, but were wary of the many small pieces of glass the players might have still had on their bodies.
They considered just calling the game over with Torrington leading, 79-65, but then decided it was only fair to give Naugy every chance to come back and to give Williams a chance to finish what he had started. The dunk had given him 47 points, just four shy of breaking the school's single-game scoring record set by John Tuozzo in 1980.
In Torrington the next afternoon, Williams scored five more points, the last coming on a gentle lay-in with 38 seconds left, to finish with 52 points in a 92-70 win. During his senior season, he scored 1,000 points by averaging 35.7 points per game and passed his uncle, Murray Williams, to become the school's all-time leading scorer. He then passed Wilby's Phil Lott to become the all-time leading scorer in NVL history with 2,228 points.
That record was eclipsed this year by Crosby's Tyshon Rogers, but no one will ever take his dunk away from him or those who witnessed it.

BEST OF: FYC Flickr Group Showcase of Artwork (4)
There are currently 1018 members in the Fuel Your Creativity Flickr Group, and we wanted to show our support for their labors of love this Labor Day with another installment of our FYC Flickr Group Showcase. Here we will focus our spotlight on some of our favorites that have been contributed by all of you. Those fine works of art that have moved us and kept us inspired. We will continue to choose and comment on the Flickr submissions, as long as the submissions keep coming in ;) . If you have yet to get picked do not get discouraged, it doesn't mean we did not like the work you submitted… it simply means that out of the many to choose from (over 5000 entries) yours wasn't chosen this time! Hope you enjoy the showcase, and keep up the great work.

While ABBA may not be a favorite band of ours, we really love this gracious tribute to them. It could be the fun disco style typography, or there could just be something in the air tonight, Fernando.
We really enjoy the tone of this piece, set so brilliantly with such a subtle presentation…and it is not because it looks at all Tron-ish. But that sure didn't hurt.
This next digital work of greatness, lands with us on so many levels that it is hard to describe them all here. We will simply say, this is what awesomeness strives to be.
Once again, you need not be a fan of the band being promoted to appreciate this retro styled artwork. This brilliantly energetic throwback more than inspires, it rocks!
Here is yet another great retroactively styled piece that we found among the multitudes, with a more simplistic approach. The abstract minimalism masterfully delivers in this wonderful work of art.
The next submission we wanted to feature is a fabulously fun photomanipulation that we just couldn't pass up on this run through the Flickr group. So flawlessly crafted that its mere construction is artistic, even without the expressive elements jumping out at you from the screen.
Next on our jaunt through the group artwork, we come to an amazing piece for a number of reasons, to be sure. But what sticks out with us, in particular, is the way this piece achieves such a simplistic feel, whilst containing dozens of very intricate skeletal illustrations.
Next we find another breathtakingly beautiful addition to the Flickr group featured here in all its colorful glory. This vibrant piece comes fully loaded with an energy that exudes from within it and brings the art alive.
This next showcase piece was such an easy choice from the whimsical nature of the illustration alone. But couple that with the talented style mixing and graffiti graphic presentation that continues to draw our eyes straight to it, and there was no way that we could pass this one by for this go around.
On this holiday weekend, we look to another holiday falling on next month's calendar, Halloween. At least in spirit, anyway. Get it? Cause of the cute little ghosty spirit in the image. Oh, the witticism. Anyway, this spirited rendering is clean and simple and just downright, adorable. (spirited…the wit won't quit.)
Keeping on the funside as we cap the showcase off, we have another sharp clean vector that taps on our funny bones with an explosive rainbow of fluorescent vibrance that we cannot get enough of. Go on, taste the rainbow…metaphorically of course, please do not lick your monitors, it probably will not taste as good as the image might make you believe it would. ;)
That is all for now
That concludes this showcase, but keep the fantastic artwork flowing into the FYC Flickr stream, and we will keep up the features! See you on the flipside, and thanks again for all the wonderful works of art you all have submitted.

Looks like Al Gore musta been spendin' all his money on them fancy bold tags or somethin':
Al Gore's Current TV, a "youth-oriented news company," is filing for a $100 million dollar public offering. Which means we all get to find out that apparently Gore's little tv station has been lying about its profitability for three solid years.
Fast Company, NewTeeVee, the New York Times, and BusinessWeek all repeated claims by Current reps that the company was profitable. Turns out, not so much.
"The youth-oriented news company had a net loss of $9.8 million in 2007, based on revenue of $63.8 million. It lost $7.6 million in 2006 and $14.3 million in 2005. Altogether, Current had $36.5 million in debts as of the end of last year." Why, Al? Why do you continue to lie to us?
Hey, take it easy on the old guy. Let's see what he has to say about the latest warmening science first.

What's the Deal with Instagram?
It turns out more and more peeps are turning to Instagram all the time. In August of this year, Instagram even beat out Twitter for mobile users. That's right. According to comScore, Instagram had about 7.3 million daily mobile viewers, while Twitter had about 6.9 million daily mobile users. What does this mean for businesses? It's time to consider jumping on the bandwagon.
What is Instagram?
Instagram is a free photo app for your phone. You can take a picture, choose from different filters to apply, and then post it to Instagram. Many users link their Instagram profiles with Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites to share photos with friends outside of Instagram.
How can businesses use it?
You can take photos of new products, events, things around the office, or things related to your business to start conversations and pique interest in your business. Similar to Twitter, you can add hashtags using the # symbol to index your photos under a certain topic. You can also host photo contests to get customers involved and talking about your business.
What's the benefit of using it?
While Instagram isn't pursuing marketing or advertising opportunities at this time, your business can start an Instagram account to further establish brand, to reach potential customers, and to create more links to your blog and website.
At the end of the day, Instagram is easy and free. It's a tool that businesses can use to help boost their online presence and create online credibility, as well as engage with potential customers. What has been your experience with Instagram? What are your questions or tips?

A House Energy and Commerce subcommittee held hearings in April 2011 and again in March 2012 to examine how DEA is tracking and preventing inappropriate prescription-drug use, the effectiveness of state prescription drug monitoring programs, and how well manufacturers, distributors and pharmacists prevent illegal diversion. Subcommittee Chair Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R–CA), has pressed for policies to aggressively curb access to painkillers and anxiety drugs more severely since the suicide of her son related to oxycontin abuse.
Of the thousands of pharmaceuticals approved by FDA for US marketing, about 250 are regulated by the the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA). Some 80 drugs with high abuse potential but important medical uses fall under schedule II, including sleep aides, diet pills, antidepressants, psychiatric drugs and antihyperactive therapies, as well as painkillers. Another 150 drugs have relatively low abuse potential and are in schedules III–V with minimal restrictions, while more than 130 schedule I drugs are dangerous and not approved for any uses.DEA and other federal and state agencies have responded to the sharp rise in abuse of opioids and other legal drugs as part of the 2011 Prescription Drug Abuse Action Plan released last year by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. DEA agents have been closing down illegal online pharmacy sites and rogue pain clinics, particularly in Florida, that dispense thousands of prescriptions for pain medicines. A main DEA thrust is to target drug wholesalers and distributors that fail to detect and halt diversion; DEA recently moved to shut down a Cardinal Health distribution facility and four pharmacies in Florida allegedly for overlooking highly excessive oxycodone orders.
Recent legislation also authorizes more aggressive efforts to remove leftover prescription drugs from family medicine cabinets, and DEA is holding another national "take-back" initiative this month, aiming to collect tons of expired or unwanted medicines for proper incineration. Brand and generic-drug manufacturers support these efforts, but are wary of proposals from the state of Washington and a California county that call for manufacturers to foot the bill for more extensive collection of leftover prescriptions.
Seeking DEA approval
Another concern for industry is that added requirements for bringing Schedule II therapies to market can delay patient access to new drugs by six months or more. DEA also sets annual quotas on production of controlled drug substances, a factor that may aggravate shortages of certain widely used drugs.
FDA assesses about one-third of new drug applications (NDAs) to see whether they warrant additional scheduling review by the DEA, noted Douglas Throckmorton, deputy director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), at a February 2012 seminar on controlled substance regulation sponsored by the Food and Drug Law Institute (FDLI). CDER's Controlled Substance Staff (CSS) determines whether DEA should evaluate the product further, which can lead to a complex scheduling process after FDA approves the NDA.
This DEA review, for example, delayed marketing 11 months after FDA approval in 2008 of Esai's sedation medication Lusedra (fospropofol). GlaxoSmithKline had to wait nearly six months to market its new epilepsy drug Potiga (ezogabine), despite early communication with DEA on the product's unique features. DEA scheduling "is a big black box for industry," observed Esai regulatory policy executive Ginny Beakes-Read, with no timelines for its actions and recommendations.
FDA officials advise manufacturers to address scheduling issues early in drug development to facilitate the review process. Sponsors need to characterize whether a drug produces positive psychoactive effects, such as sedation, euphoria and cognitive distortion, explained CSS pharmacology team leader Silvia Calderon-Gutkind. NDA's should clearly identify abuse liability—or its absence—through evaluation of chemical properties, pharmacological and pharmacokinetic characteristics and clinical data relevant to abuse.
CDER is working to improve its internal assessment process for controlled substances and to negotiate a memorandum of understanding with DEA to facilitate exchange of confidential information on new drugs earlier in the review process. FDA issued draft guidance last year on how manufacturers should assess the abuse potential of new drugs, and advice on developing abuse-deterrent formulations is expected this year.
Although there's great interest in abuse-resistant patches or capsules, so far none have emerged that are "truly effective," said Gary Boggs, executive assistant in DEA's Office of Diversion Control, at the FDLI meeting. Manufacturers look to add antagonists or change formulations to improve resistance, but DEA wants data to show that it works and warrants "down-scheduling" to a DEA category that carries less regulation of production quantities, physical security, prescribing, and distribution.
Ultimately, better science may establish a clearer roadmap for assessing drug pharmacology and clinical studies related to abuse issues, particularly for new drugs with novel mechanisms of action. Criteria for identifying and reporting adverse events related to prescription-drug abuse also could provide safety data that supports changes in controls, as would efforts to increase prescriber and patient education on the appropriate use of opioids and abused drugs.

London Olympic memories for sale to the highest bidders
Buy a basketball hoop, a flag, a Bradley Wiggins signed shirt – all available in the great Games sell-off
FOR ANYONE in search of their own little piece of Olympic legacy, help is at hand thanks to the official London 2012 memorabilia auction.
'Own a piece of Games History!' screams the website, before reminding us in smaller print that as a "proud sponsor of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, only Visa (debit, credit and prepaid) can be used" when bidding for items.
And what are the items up for grabs, as the Games organisers try to squeeze every last drop of potential income out of the event?
Alas, despite a comprehensive trawl through the website, neither Tom Daley's speedos nor Victoria Pendleton's cycle shorts are available – used or otherwise. But there are flags, basketball hoops and javelins galore.
If you fancy owning the USA's flag from the Opening Ceremony you'll have to make an opening offer in excess of £3,375. The Canadians' flag is available at a more reasonable sum of £1,315 while Team Burkino Faso are practically giving theirs away at £275.
For those who find flags a bit too jingoistic, there is the placard used to introduce the Australian team at the Opening Ceremony. The current highest bid is £515, lower than you might expect, but then the luckless Aussies did only take seven golds home from London.
Among the more unusual items available to purchase are a Mary Poppins's hat with electric glowing light (current highest bid £431) and a farmer's hand sickle (£345), both of which appeared in the Opening Ceremony and both of which are guaranteed to impress the grandchildren 50 years from now.
In contrast, items that might be of genuine interest to sports memorabilia hunters are few and far between. A basketball hoop used in the men's gold medal game, in which the USA 'Dream Team' beat Spain, has a current bid of £1,015, and a pair of boxing gloves worn by one of the medallists from the men's super heavyweight division are priced at £741.
The winner of that division was Britain's Anthony Joshua though one imagines if they were his gloves the website would tell us in the hope of driving up the price. The gloves are probably the ones Italy's Robert Cammarelle hurled away in disgust when he lost the gold to Joshua in a controversial countdown decision.
One of the most expensive items on auction is an Olympic relay torch signed by comedian David Walliams, attracting a highest bid - so far - of £2,020. On the other hand a Team GB cycling shirt bearing the signature of Olympic gold medallist Bradley Wiggins could be yours for just £1,006.
So much for winning the Tour de France, Wiggo.
