A successful formulation process has four stages: preformulation, stabilization of the active substance in bulk form, formulation in the designated dosage forms (drug delivery), and fill and finish of aseptic manufacturing activities.
Preformulation is an exploratory activity that begins early in biopharmaceutical development. Preformulation studies are designed to determine the compatibility of initial excipients with the active substance for a biopharmaceutical, physicochemical, and analytical investigation in support of promising experimental formulations. Data from preformulation studies provide the necessary groundwork for formulation attempts. Successful formulations take into account a drug's interactions with the physicochemical properties of other ingredients (and their interactions with each other) to produce a safe, stable, beneficial, and marketable product.Corporate concerns. Some companies have a preformulation/formulation team specifically devoted to these tasks. In other (usually smaller) companies, formulation development may be the responsibility of the fermentation, process chemistry, or quality control group. Industry experts claim that preformulation teams are often understaffed, underresourced, and not well understood by company management. Formulation is sometimes considered a sort of "black art" in drug development. This is because in the history of protein formulation, development began as an empirical science due to the unique nature of each protein. However, a better understanding of protein behavior and an increased awareness of the adverse effects of an improperly formulated protein product on clinical trials and on the marketed product have highlighted the need for a more rational approach to formulation development. Such an approach has been developing over the past decade. A dedicated formulation development group that is adequately staffed and resourced has thus become necessary in order to successfully incorporate protein formulation development in the overall drug development strategy. Bio-pharmaceutical companies should consider their formulation teams to be just as essential to their survival as process development and finance. Doing things right the first time is always preferable to going back to the drawing board and starting over — and it's also the faster way to market.
Formulation and delivery issues must be considered early in development. An initial formulation is needed for preclinical studies, and a better formulation will be needed for clinical trials. The formulation may be critical to the safety and efficacy of a therapeutic protein, and, as development progresses, it will become harder and harder to make changes.
Marketing concerns come up earlier than you might think. Route of administration is determined by the target product profile: Will our product treat a chronic or acute disorder? Will it need specific targeting — a broad or narrow therapeutic window? Will it be administered at home or in the clinic or hospital? What is the competitive landscape; are other drugs already treating the same indication? What will give our project the advantage over existing treatments and those that may emerge?
For example, marketing considerations arise early in product development for monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Typically, MAbs are needed at high doses (hundreds of milligrams per dose) and are normally delivered intravenously. The drive to reduce healthcare costs has created a need to administer MAb therapeutics more conveniently, at home, subcutaneously. Thus, MAbs must be available at high concentrations (~200 mg/mL) in the vial. At these high concentrations, MAb-containing solutions are viscous, making them difficult to administer conveniently. Hence, a preformulation activity that needs to be considered is a concentration study investigating solubility behavior, effect of concentration on viscosity, and increased potential for aggregation. These studies have the potential to strongly influence the target product profile as well as the design of the clinical trial.

A. Overview
Access to international capabilities through existing exchange mechanisms offers a potential vehicle for a near-term return on investment. Equally important, these programs are the base from which our longer term strategy will evolve. As part of that long-term strategy, our objective is to emphasize high leverage opportunities, with partnerships where we anticipate the best prospects for sustained excellence in technology. The following pages, provide a snapshot of international basic research capabilities and trends having potential to address one or more of the long-term research goals identified in Chapter V of the ASTMP. Many of these areas overlap opportunities highlighted in the previous section, and indicate prospects for long-term partnerships and further cooperative advances. Others indicate areas where future opportunities may develop, either under an existing exchange or a new initiative.
The following discussion and trends charts portray very clearly the international scope and advance of science and technology. As might be expected, opportunities for cooperation in basic research are far more pervasive, and widely dispersed, than those for applied research in technology discussed in the previous section. Increased global accessibility of scientific information is such that no researcher is out of touch with his or her field. Collaborative research across international boundaries is commonplace.
Taken as a whole, the trends charts indicate a high and growing level of scientific research capabilities abroad in virtually every aspect identified as of importance to the U.S. Army. This suggests the importance of an international cooperative strategy that can effectively encompass both immediate opportunities and long-range cooperative partnerships.

Olympic Village: A Heavyweight Bout of Debate
Good evening, fight fans, and welcome to this much-anticpated heavyweight bout. In the blue corner, and defending his crown, is reigning champ Bob "Condo King" Rennie, who squares off against the hard-hitting challenger Michael "Knock Down" Geller.
Geller, who says he's found flaws in the champ's game, faces a determined Rennie who came out fighting when he said his opponent has "lost all credibility."

Men's Health
"This striking increased death rate in men with abnormal semen parameters highlights the urgency and need to investigate the causes of male infertility and not to just proceed with assisted reproductive technologies," said Dr. Natan Bar-Chama, director of male reproductive medicine and surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.
Bar-Chama, who was not involved with the study, added that "it is equally important to identify potential modifiable causes of male infertility that could be acted upon and subsequently decrease this increased mortality rate."
It's important to keep in mind that this study wasn't designed to prove that semen abnormalities lead to a higher rate of death, only to show there is an association between these factors.
However, the researchers have a number of theories as to why poor semen quality might be linked to premature death risk, Eisenberg said.
For example, reproduction is an essential human activity, with 10 percent to 15 percent of the male genome dedicated to propagation. "It's very easy to figure if you can't make sperm, there are probably other things your body can't do well," he said.
Sperm defects also could be caused by low levels of testosterone, an important male hormone that has been linked to longevity, Eisenberg noted.
And, Eisenberg added, social factors associated with fertility should not be ruled out. "If you look at studies, men who have children enjoy extended life and lower mortality," he said.
Women who are infertile likely face a similarly increased risk of death, he suggested, although this study only evaluated men.
"My belief is that infertility provides a window into a man's later health, and I think it would apply to both sexes," Eisenberg said. "We can expect to see the same effects in women as well."

i have severe arthritis, vicodine 7.5/750 is wonderful pain relief, although it does constipate me of which i am prepared for. drink a lot of water and fruit. it does give me a false sense of well being to which i am aware of .
withdraw from this drug is muscle cramps,stomach,and sleeplessness, confusion,and racing heart for 3-5 days after the first 36 hours of quiting this narcodic, This is first hand experiance after being caught up in taking 20 vicodin aday for 2 years, withdraw is terrible,try to go the full 6-8 hours and stick to 1 pill everytime you take it.

i totaled a car in 2005. i was put this by my doctor but with my addictiveness and addiction in the family i have become addictive to this and it is hard as hell to get off of it. i stopped for a month but couldnt take the withdrawals so i started again. however the dose that i used to take which was almost 10 to 20 a day dropped to nothing for a month and about 2-4 a day. i still go back and forth with this. i do not take to take this anymore but it is very hard to stop. does anyone have any suggestions? I went to the DR and he said to just stop using it. But the mental tolereance over the physical is worse.
I've been on this med for 7 yrs due to severe scoliosis & neck pain. I could not make it through a single day without it. The drug works very fast, but doesn't stay with you very long, maybe 3 hrs. @ best. It is very easy to build a tolerance and need more & more. Causes extreme constipation so a laxative is very helpful. I feel "human" while taking the medicine...without I don't want to get out of bed.
My doctor prescribed this for me to treat pain from severe arthritis and fibromyalgia. It takes the edge off the pain so I can work and function. It does not take the pain away totally. Like others have said, doctors are too afraid to prescribe pain medications because they have been so badly abused by others. It means that people that have genuine pain have to suffer for the abuse/greed of others. If you have pain you have to jump through hoops to prove that you will not abuse them or sell them. It makes winter here in the Northeast difficult to get through.
This is a miracle drug I have beeb taking this medication for 7 years now and if it wasn't around I wouldn't be either because it helps with my fybromialga and my lower back I have a buldging disk in my back and it works great with the pain. Make sure you drink plenty of water with this medication and I notice when I eat before I take it, it doesn't work.

MEXICO CITY - Mexican archaeologists say they have determined that the ancient Mayas built watchtower-style structures atop the ceremonial ball court at the temples of Chichen Itza to observe the equinoxes and solstices, and they said Friday that the discovery adds to understanding of the many layers of ritual significance that the ball game had for the culture.
The structures sit atop the low walls of the court, where the Mayas played a game that consisted, as far as experts can tell, of knocking a heavy, latex ball with their elbows, knees or hips, through a stone ring set in the walls.
The bases of the structures - essentially, lookout boxes set atop the walls, each one with a small slit running through it - had been detected before, but archaeologists hadn't been sure what they were used for. Since the ball court was built around 864 A.D., the boxes and the stairs leading to them had crumbled.
The government's National Institute of Anthropology and History announced Thursday that the boxes had been 90 percent reconstructed, based on the stone footings that remained. Late last year and early this year, a team led by archaeologist Jose Huchim confirmed that the sun shone through the slit-like openings when the setting sun touched the horizon at the winter solstice.
The sun's rays also formed a diagonal pattern at the equinox in the slit-like openings, which are about tall enough to stand up in.
Huchim said he knew of no similar structures at other Mayan ball courts. "This is the place where we're finding this type of pasaje (structure)," Huchim said. He said a stone structure atop a ball court at the nearby ruin site of Uxmal appeared to have been used as a sort of spectators' stand for elite audiences. Huchim said the slits may have been used to determine when ball matches were played, given that the ball itself, as it was knocked through the air by the players, may have been seen as imitating the sun's arc as it passed through the sky.
It may have also been used "like a calendar, to mark important periods for agriculture," like planting the core crop of corn.
Finally, Huchim noted that old descriptions of the ball courts sometimes depicted people atop the walls, and that they may have been acting as umpires in the game.
Huchim said Thursday that stairways to the structures are being restored so visitors can observe the phenomenon.

BEIJING: Less water flows down China's two biggest rivers now than 40 years ago because global warming is drying up the wetlands that feed them, a state news agency reported Monday, citing Chinese scientists. Xinhua News Agency said scientists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied changes at the wetlands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in western China — the source of the Yangtze and Yellow rivers.
Using aerial photos and satellite images, they found the wetlands on the plateau have shrunk more than 10% over the past four decades. The wetlands at the origin of the Yangtze have suffered the most, contracting by 29%. "The wetlands play a key role in containing water and adjusting the water volume of the rivers," researcher Wang Xugen was quoted as saying. "The shrinking of the wetland on the plateau is closely connected with global warming."

INDEPENDENCE — An Ennice, N.C., woman was sentenced to serve five years in prison after her probation was revoked in Grayson County Circuit Court.
Elizabeth Renea Pack, 33, was convicted Nov. 10, 2006 of possession of a schedule II controlled substance and uttering a forged check on Sept. 21, 2007.
She was sentenced to serve consecutive terms of two years and six months in prison on each of the two charges. The prison sentences were suspended and she was put on probation for five years.
INDEPENDENCE — A Galax man was sentenced to 50 years in prison in Grayson County Circuit Court on Oct. 8 for sexual abuse charges.
Patrick Wayne Blair, 22, was convicted on four counts of carnal knowledge, two counts of consensual sodomy and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor at a trial held July 2.

HILLSVILLE — After a ribbon cutting — and moving the orange barrels lining the construction area — Virginia Department of Transportation officially added about 1.5 miles of four-lane highway to its system in Carroll County last Wednesday.
Transportation officials joined with local representatives to celebrate the opening of the U.S. 58 bypass to U.S. 52 with a ribbon cutting and a short ride on the completed section.
HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County didn't allow an offensive touchdown for the third time in the last four games and the Cavaliers exploded for 25 second-half points, rolling over Marion for a 39-0 homecoming win in a Southwest District game Friday at Tommy Thompson Field.
Carroll County (5-2 overall, 3-0 district) held the Scarlet Hurricane (3-4, 1-3) to 42 yards of total offense, including one yard on 14 first-half plays.
MAX MEADOWS –– Galax gave itself a chance to win. Considering recent history has afforded the Maroon Tide no such opportunity in a game as big as this, that's about all anyone could ask for.
Election Letters Notice
The Gazette accepted letters to the editor concerning the Nov. 2 election until noon on Oct. 21, for publication in the Oct. 25 newspaper. No more campaign-related letters will be accepted.
Rebuttal letters ONLY will be accepted until noon on Oct. 28, for publication in the Nov. 1 newspaper.
WOODLAWN — Teachers knew the announcement must have been momentous when Woodlawn Principal Jerry King came across the intercom system in the middle of class.
But instead of a "what's wrong" message, King couldn't wait to share what had gone right.
The Department of Education had granted Woodlawn School's appeal on the No Child Left Behind results, which said the school didn't make the required adequate yearly progress.
Monthly benefits for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income for more than 58 million Americans will not automatically increase in 2011, the Social Security Administration announced Friday.
The Social Security Act provides for an automatic increase in benefits if there is an increase in the Consumer Price Index for wage earners from the third quarter of the last year that a cost-of-living adjustment was determined, to the third quarter of the current year.
RICHMOND — After several months of study by an informal working group that he created, Del. Ward Armstrong remains convinced that Virginia should scrap its 3-year-old law that partially regulates the state's electric utilities.
Armstrong, whose House district includes a portion of Carroll County, believes the law needs to be strengthened.

This Week in the EU
The first full week of work in 2013 started Monday in Brussels. Yet again, the European Union's number-one New Year's resolution is solving the euro crisis and boosting economic growth. At Real Time Brussels, we're planning to continue giving you an off-the-beaten-track view of the EU microcosm. And as a new, regular feature we hope to bring you an overview of some of the most relevant EU events of every week.
Here we go:
Monday and Wednesday, negotiators from the European Parliament, the EU member countries and the European Commission will meet in so-called trialogues to try to hammer out an agreement on a single supervisor for banks in the euro zone and other countries that want to sign up. Officials are once again racing against the clock, since EU leaders had initially promised agreement on the new watchdog by the end of 2012. (For a more-detailed explanation of "trialogues" click here.)
Borut Pahor, President of Slovenia, will be in Brussels Tuesday and Wednesday, meeting with European Commission President José Manuel Barroso and Herman Van Rompuy, the president of the European Council. In the fall, there was speculation that Slovenia may be the next country to ask for a banking bailout from the euro zone's rescue fund.
Thursday, Jean-Claude Juncker, the President of the group of countries that use the euro, will speak to the Economic Committee of the European Parliament. He will step down at the end of the month, so the focus is on rumors about who will succeed him in one of Europe's key financial-policy jobs.
Friday, Olli Rehn, the commissioner for economics and monetary affairs, will set out "the next steps to recovery" at a breakfast meeting hosted by the European Policy Centre, one of Brussels' top think-tanks.
Also Friday, Competition Commissioner Joaquín Almunia participates in a conference on the "Modernisation of State Aid Rules" at King's College, London.
Action this week will also take place at the EU "periphery." Ireland is taking over the rotating EU presidency and will inaugurate its six-month chairmanship in Dublin. Messrs. Van Rompuy and Barroso and many of the commissioners will be there.
On Friday, Cyprus will host a summit of the conservative leaders in the EU — those whose parties are members of the European People's Party. Mr. Barroso will be there.

Despite stories to the contrary, New York's St Patrick's Day parade organizers have not withdrawn an invitation to members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to march in the Manhattan parade.
They are expected to issue a statement to that effect later today Irish Central has learned.
The organizers had issued the historic invitation to six members of the PSNI, inviting them to march alongside members of the Irish police force.
But the parade committee came under sustained attack on Thursday and Friday from dissident groups in Ireland and America who mounted a major social media campaign as well as phone calls seeking to prevent the PSNI from marching.
A senior source told Irish Central that the parade committee did "suffer a case of jitters" regarding the invitation and the concerted drive to have the invite withdrawn but have now made it clear that the invite stands.
The PSNI is the reformed Northern Ireland police force created after the Good Friday Agreement and they have attracted large nationalists numbers to their ranks. Despite that, dissidents portray them as similar to the old RUC which
was overwhelmingly unionist.
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams and senior Irish government figure are said to have made it clear to parade organizers that the PSNI invite was the right thing to do.
Gerry Adams †@GerryAdamsSF 10h
If NY St Patricks Day Parade Committee have withdrawn an invite 2 PSNI then that is a mistake which needs rectified.
Meanwhile an attempt to kill a PSNI officer in Belfast failed when the bomb was discovered after it fell off the underside of a car. Dissidents were believed responsible.
Terry Spence of the Police Federation stated:
"It is clear that the blood lust of these people and the hatred shows no bounds, and they will stop at nothing.
"We are determined they will not succeed, but the reality is they are ruthless. That device fell off the underside of a car.
"If a child or an adult had picked it up this morning they could have been killed.
"That is the ruthlessness dissidents continue to show."

In many cases, the forensic radiography or postmortem x-ray is the component that sheds crucial light on the autopsy findings. Quite often traditional autopsy
methods indicate one cause of death, only for the autopsy x-rays to point to something else. Several studies have shown that in about 25% of autopsied
cases, the post-mortem findings do not agree with the major clinical diagnoses made while the patient was alive. Thus, without verification by autopsy and
postmortem imaging, the information on the death certificate - and, consequently, national disease statistics - are only informed guesses.

Posted on 04/16/2014 6:53:25 AM PDT by No One Special
The Connecticut teen who has been in state custody for more than a year after her parents were accused of medical child abuse after disputing a diagnosis has apparently penned a note, giving a look into how she says shes being treated.
They hurt me all the time push me all the time and more, the purported note from Justina Pelletier says. It also says [they] do not let me sleep vary [sic] much.
Hury [sic]!
Keith Mason, president of Personhood USA, a group helping lead the Free Justina Coalition, told TheBlaze that Justina gave the note to her parents a few weeks ago.
There has been some hesitation to release it because of how tyrannical the DCF has been, Mason said.
Mason called the note troubling and said its part of the reason weve put a lot of urgency on this campaign. He said he thinks Justina is referring to her treatment by DCF employees and staff at Wayside Youth and Family Network, a facility in Framingham, Mass., where Justina has been living for the last few months as a ward of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families.
Lou Pelletier, Justinas father, told TheBlaze that Justina snuck her parents the note.
Shes very intelligent and figures out ways to sneak us stuff, he said. Shes been risking life and limb to get any bit of information to us.
In-person visits with Justina, which happen once a week on Fridays, are supervised by DCF staff, he said.
Pressed for more details about the note, including why some of the content was cut off at the top in the image provided, Lou Pelletier became animated, frequently citing his frustration with the case and said published news reports seem to have resulted in DCF crackdowns on allowing Justina to communicate with them.
Shes being allowed to be tortured in this country, Ill leave it at that, he said.
Personhood USA, which originally released the image in its press release, did not immediately return a request from TheBlaze for a complete image of the note.
The case surrounding 15-year-old Justina began last year when her parents, Lou and Linda Pelletier, brought her to Boston Childrens Hospital to see a gastrointestinal specialist while she was suffering from the flu. Justina had previously been diagnosed with mitochondrial disease by a doctor at Tufts Medical Center. She had been receiving treatment for the disorder, which manifests itself in various ways, impacting the function of the energy producing organelles of cells.
When admitted to Boston Childrens, her parents say, another doctor disagreed with the mitochondrial disease diagnosis, saying she had somatoform, a psychiatric disorder, instead. When the Pelletiers disagreed with physicians proposed plan to remove Justina from her treatments for mitochondrial disorder in favor of psychiatric treatments, they tried to discharge her to take her to Tufts. At this time, they served with a 51A, a report of alleged physical or emotional abuse.
On Feb. 14, 2013, the state stepped in and took emergency custody of Justina. Over the course of the next year, the Pelletiers appeared in juvenile court several times, fighting to get their daughter back. Most movement in the case occurred in the first months of 2014, when a judge ordered Justina to be moved from Boston Childrens. The most recent decision by Judge Joseph Johnson in late March to allow DCF to retain custody of Justina, making the familys next opportunity to appeal in juvenile court May 20.
DCF isnt listening, the judge sure isnt listening where we have left to go? Mason said, explaining why the family ultimately decided to allow the release of Justinas note.
This shocking note reveals for the first time, in Justinas own words, how she is being abused by Massachusetts DCF. The Pelletiers are devastated to see how their daughter is being mistreated while under the custody of the State of Massachusetts, Rev. Patrick Mahoney, the Pelletiers spokesperson, said in a statement.
Sadly, Justinas own words paint a picture of mistreatment by DCF that we can see for ourselves, he continued. Fourteen months ago, when she was removed from her home, she was taking part in ice-skating competitions and living an active life. Under the care of DCF, she is in now a wheelchair and can barely walk. She has not been allowed to attend church, and has not been given her individualized education program which is required by federal law.
On Monday, the familys lawyers filed an appeal to the states Supreme Judicial Court. The petition requests for custody of Justina to be removed from DCF and restored to her parents.
This case comes down to the simple fact that new doctors at Boston Childrens Hospital, who had no experience with Justina, came up with a different diagnosis than her expert treating physicians at Tufts Medical Center, Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, said in a statement. The state cannot take children from their parents when the parents make reasonable choices for their medical care. This case is outrageous.
Mason also said the Free Justina Coalition is focusing its efforts toward reaching out to Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick to get involved in the situation.
DCF did not immediately respond to TheBlazes request for comment regarding the note.
This story has been updated to include comments from Lou Pelletier.
She will be 16-years-old this summer. Shouldn't she begin petitioning for emancipation?
God I'm so pissed. May the wrath of God come upon these people who are responsible for this.
If she was mooslime, Deval would make sure she was able to pray all she wanted.. with a free of charge prayer rug, special room, their stupid book etc.
"Shes very intelligent "
She misspelled "vary"
I've got to be missing something from this story. I can't believe that this would occur as presented. There must be something left out.
This could be as simple as an iodine deficiency.
But for Huckabee this evil would have gone unnoticed, so a little prayer for him, too.
Gee thats an appropriate criticism of a young lady in her position. It makes you look like such a good person to be checking her spelling.
The doctors who initiated the action had a financial interest in using her for research through grants.
From my reading of the multitude of articles it appears to be due to that financial interest, but now involves a bureaucracy which refuses to admit it was wrong. They are even willing to let this girl die rather than admit error.
In my extended life span there would have been a time I would have absolutely called BS on such a thing going on in America, but after observing the Democrats over the years, and seeing them change from pack of idiots to radical pack of idiots, and they having succeeded in their quest for leadership in almost every aspect of this Nations government in spite of they being the minority (which they are) I fear the truth is in the unbelievable.
My tagline of many years here at FR means the Leftist's, the people doing as the article states are unbalanced.
Democrats must be eliminated from the administration of this free nation IF we desire to remain that way. Dems, Libs, Socialists, call 'em what you will suck.
Could be as simple as being under stress whil surreptitiously penning a proscribed note. She also has not been in school for over a year. Skills can recede quickly when not used.
Her intelligence varies.
What I would do if I were her at this point is escape.
If that be the case, I'd take my daughter by force if necessary and let them try and come get me.
"What I would do if I were her at this point is escape."
She can't walk.
This complaint reads like any overnight stay at medical facility
The couple has other kids but yeah I cannot imagine living through something like this.
And for a judge to issue a gag order on the family. Truly out of control govt.
One of the most brilliant financial analysts I have ever known cannot spell a lick. Good spelling and proper grammar are not the only indicators of intelligence.
Is this part of "Romney Care" the model for "ObamaCare"? If so we can expect to see a lot more of this. It sounds a lot like the medical experiments preformed in the Nazi, Soviet and ChiCom camps by brutish governmental types.
No but it is suspicious.
There's no telling the psych cocktail of meds they have her on. I'd cut some slack for spelling.
I see you've read the book? Very interesting stuff in that book, no?
Got to find a way to get it done, even it requires outside help.
Please put this back in breaking news. A young girl's life is at stake. It deserves as wide a circulation as possible. The fact that it is not national news is a function of how badly the truth would affect Massachusetts authorities but also it could save Justina's life.
Some people just can't spell. I worked with MD/PhD's who couldn't spell a lick either. I was given publications to proof read for spelling stuff. Mainly the sound the same spelled different sort of stuff that spell check didn't pick up 15 years ago.
I did alterations on a prom dress for a family friend's daughter. Said daughter was a national merit scholar and got a free ride to the local state college. Her handwritten note attached to the dress when I picked it up said 'take in at waste'. I was shocked actually. But these kids haven't had anyone actively correct their spelling. It might hurt their self esteem.
And don't get me started on the tsunami of 'to, too, two' abuse that goes on these days.
So did Shakespeare:
The so call "doctors" at BCH thinks it's all in her head, so they had all her medical treatments stopped, and took her away from her parents. .
Her physical condition has obviously deteriorated ever since. But the so called "doctors" have no regard, and no conscience. They will not admit they made a mistake and release her to her family.
Boston Children's Hospital needs to put a stop to this. They have a well well deserved reputation of being a world renowned pediatric facility, but if they allow this to continue , they do not deserve that reputation.
Somebody at that hospital has to have a conscience.
Both of them. Supplemental iodine made a big difference thank you. I don't know if I told you, but your note about that to me was within one hour of a prayer. So far, what I can say is that if I keep taking these supplements, I'm OK, but deteriorate quickly if I miss a dose or two. I'm probably fighting an infection, but don't know where to go with that in terms of obtaining a diagnosis with which to begin an extended antibiotic treatment I'd rather avoid, particularly because this could be a virus. This could be a very well established bug, as I was treated for Lyme disease several years ago and had never felt so well as when I was on doxycycline.
As to Brownstein's books, the information is important but shallow. I think there is a distinct lack of advice on administration and dosing methods. I'm preferring a homeopathic sublingual treatment of a dilute solution of Lugol's to direct ingestion. The book's lack of a decent index and scholastic footnoting is a big problem. One would think after so many editions they would get that right.
I don't know if it is. They removed the girl from the parents saying they were a danger to her (basically they weren't getting her the proper treatment). They had a medical team recommending the treatment they were providing.
However the parents have other children and the DCF of their state has investigated and refused to take any action, saying there were no grounds.
How coherent would you be under such tortuous conditions?
My brother who is very intelligent, he rose to the level of district manager for Nor Cal in a very large corporation, cannot spell a lick. He carried a pocket dictionary with him just to write memos.
If you had been denied the care you were receiving for a few months, and had little to nothing to stimulate your mind, you'd probably slip up on some words too.
They would go get you, right behind state police, who are behind H&K MP5s.
They'd take her back with the force of arms.
There, they're and their, too. Or is it two?
I've read that they won't allow her to attend mass or receive communion, either.
I second that tu...
IMO, they want her to die to make the case a moot point.
The citizens of CT need to get much more involved in this, to demand action and create a huge public fuss, seems like that is the only way to possibly impact this case because the courts are not helping.
I think you just hit the nail on the head.
> I cant believe that this would occur as presented. There must be something left out.
I have to agree. Something stinks about this whole story. It would be helpful to hear ALL the details about what is REALLY going on here.
Just before this story became public, the MA DCF was already taking a lot of heat because a 5-year-old boy in DCF custody disappeared; it was 2 or 3 months before anyone knew, and then it came out only because his sister told her teacher at school. I believe the social worker who was supposed to be checking on him and her supervisor were fired.
Then it became public that DCF revised its guidelines on who could be a foster parent, saying that a felony conviction (even for violent crime or soliciting sex from minors) should not be an automatic disqualifier. (A decision which Deval defended publicly, saying if someone had a police record from years ago for stealing a candy bar -- yes, that was the example he used -- it shouldn't be held against him.)
Then there was talk of the -- IIRC -- 100 children who died in DCF custody over the past 3 years. And another 100 or so missing children in DCF custody, but DCF kind of dismissed those, saying most of them had attained their teens and were considered runaways.
Deval has steadfastly refused to fire the head of DCF. She says she submitted her resignation, but he refused to accept it.
The health care bots, including the nurses and the doctors, don't understand when to quit bothering the patient.
I find people that say they submitted their resignation but it wasn't accepted to be hard to believe.
She could quit whether or not it was 'accepted'.
She should be released to her parents to see if she improves.
I bet she would improve.
At this point, what the hell difference does it make?

SF Station Interview with Sage
You know the dynamic of hip hop has changed dramatically when a white rapper from Rhode Island that still lives in the house he grew up in can come to San Francisco and hold an audience at The Fillmore for two consecutive nights. After a series of underground tapes and CDs, Sage Francis released his first official LP in 2002, Personal Journals, on Oaklands Anticon Records before joining Epitaph and releasing A Healthy Distrust in 2005 and his latest LP Human the Death Dance in May. Sage Francis spoke with SF Station en route to a tour stop in Florida.
SF Station (SFS):
You are performing at the Fillmore for two nights, which is rare for a hip hop act at any San Francisco venue. What does that say about the genre and the market in general?
Sage Francis:
Being one of the figureheads of the fringe part of the genre, I think it says more about California and its willingness to except new stuff and different takes on an older vehicle. The West Coast is very loving and accepting. I cant wait to get there because on the East Coast you have to push hard to get any kind of response. The West Coast is more fun.
On your new album you ask listeners to stop calling it emo rap (a term pegged to several independent rappers that pen songs about relationships, heartache and other emotional material). Did you ever embrace that term?
Sage Francis:
That term, like many others, doesnt really seem to apply that well. Its not all encapsulating, so its tough to accept it because I know people use that term to dismiss an artist. Not only is it a term with ambiguity, but its also used to dismiss the full character of what I am and what my contemporaries are. Every two or three years there is a term that the media latches on to because they want to feel like they can categorize music properly.
Honestly, we are doing something a little different than mainstream hip hop, but I dont think emo is good term for that. What the fuck is it even supposed to mean?
I have no idea.
Sage Francis:
Yeah, see no one does. Its short for emotion. Of course there is emotion in my music; there is emotion in good art and good music. If its used as a term to dismiss an artist as whiney, I can definitely say that I do much more than whine. I can whine very well though, so maybe they should call it whine-hop.
When you signed with Anticon to release Personal Journals, did you really receive a $1 advance?
Sage Francis:
Yeah, it was a $1 bill.
What did you spend it on?
Sage Francis:
I have no idea. I should have framed it, but I probably spent it on a water bottle or something stupid.
Where does your new album fit in context with Personal Journals and the LP you did as Non-Prophets and A Healthy Distrust?
Sage Francis:
I made an effort to have all styles that I used before, for the sake of reintroducing to people the styles that I have done and to put a cap on it. I worked with a variety of producers and it has some personal material, some straight-up battle tracks and political material. Its a mish-mash of all of my styles and after this I just want to move on and away from the tradition of how Ive been making records. I just want to do something new.
The obvious question after that is What am I going to do? I dont have an answer to that. Im going finish my tour and start exploring things.
Did you take that approach with the album because you are getting more exposure now and new fans?
Sage Francis:
Maybe, but I think it is also for the previous audiences -- everyone I have captured with each album that has its own unique sound. Nothing that I do is incidental. I understand where the different styles come from and how to execute them and deliver them. Its not luck of the draw every time I make an album. There is a purposeful path that I choose, and on this record I chose to have a few different paths. Some people may enjoy the personal stuff more than the other shit, and vice versa. But, whatever the case, I wanted to put it all on one record.
You are playing with a band on this tour, which is a different approach from your last San Francisco performance, where I think the motto was No DJ, no turntable, no problem.
Sage Francis:
When I tour I always have a band with me. When I started I had a DJ, but when I do performances outside of tours I really have to just rely on myself because its really hard for me to get people together just for just one performance. I can go out and hold a show down all by myself, but when I have 44 shows in a row, its nice to have the ability to get people together to recreate music.
You sported a mullet wig a few years ago. Do you have anything planned this time around?
Sage Francis:
I left the mullet wig in Baltimore on purpose because I didnt feel like wearing it anymore. I had a mustache tour, but I got rid of that. Im just trying to shed material. I dont know, I have nothing but a sweaty beard this time.

College 101
Target vs. Reach vs. Safety Article Type: Fight Club
|Important Stats
These are the schools you shouldn't need to sweat about. Your target schools should be places you really want to go, and the ones you should be fairly confident you will be accepted into.
Bet on a school as a target if: You meet or exceed their GPA, transcript, and standardized test score requirements, and the rest of your application is strong.
|Important Stats
You just might get in. A strong application with the majority of requirements for admission exceeding the mark, may make up for one area that falls short. You might also fall in that demographic the school is looking for to round out their freshman class (Southpaw gluten-free vegan from the Isle of Wight…).
Bet on a School as a Reach If: You fall short in one area, but exceed the other requirements, and have a strong essay and letters of recommendation. You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.
|Important Stats
You're going to get in. And since you did your research, you would be happy attending Community Fishing College of the Puget Sound (home of the Plankton-Eating Killer Whales!) if it came down to that.
You didn't put in the research, and this school ends up being your only option and it isn't for you. Gap year (bring your shirt-folding skills), here we come…
Bet on a School as a Safety If: You feel very confident about your chances of getting accepted, you wouldn't be embarrassed to tell people about it, and you would genuinely enjoy attending that college.

What's in your drinking water?

Lost your bowling ball in the bayou? The cleanup might have helped find it.
More than 1,200 volunteers removed more than 18 tons of garbage from Bayou Lafourche during the first Clean Up Bayou Lafourche event held in March.
The cleanup effort spanned the entire 106 miles of Bayou Lafourche from Donaldsonville to Leeville.
Nicholls State University geomatics students inventoried the results of the effort to show the volume and oddity of garbage that ends up in Bayou Lafourche, the source of drinking water for nearly 300,000 local residents.
Some of the odd items pulled from the bayou include bowling balls, firecrackers, ammunition canisters with live ammo, mailboxes, street signs, cell phones, Power Wheels riding toys, half of a car and Army-issued Meals Ready to Eat, also known as MREs.
They also found plenty of evidence of dumping, pulling appliances, batteries, building materials, car parts, 55-gallon drums, tires and a lawn mower from the bayou. They pulled 1,269 items of these from the bayou.
Other categories included food and drink items, including plastic and glass bottles, cans and plastic eating utensils — about 33,115 of those items were pulled from the bayou. Cleanup volunteers pulled another 1,851 items related to fishing and boating, such as buoys, buckets and ice chests, and 4,672 pieces of smoking trash such as lighters and cigarette butts. More than 270 personal hygiene-related items topped off the list, including diapers, syringes and prescription bottles.
Volunteers cleaned up 40,000 pieces of garbage during the three-hour cleanup, which broke down to an average of 350 pounds of trash per mile of bayou.
"A lot of kids and people of all ages got involved," said Hugh Caffery, chairman of the Bayou Lafourche Freshwater District. "It meant a lot for people in the community."
The cleanup was sponsored by the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program, Keep Louisiana Beautiful and the Bayou Lafourche Freshwater District.
