What have your experiences been at Darlington Raceway? "Darlington has always been a challenging place for me; I'm cautious about heading there with high expectations. My goal would be to come away with a top-10 and a solid finish in the point standings. It's a place where track position is really important. I came home with a top-10 there last year, so I know I'm capable of good runs. If we get out front late in the race, I'll feel a lot better about it."
Austin Dillon
No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's AdvoCare Chevrolet at Darlington Raceway ... Austin Dillon will pilot Chassis No. 105 in the VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200. In 2012, Dillon raced this Chevrolet to a fourth-place finish at Iowa Speedway in May and a fifth-place finish at Auto Club Speedway in March.

AdvoCare Supporting the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma ...

The health and wellness company will pledge $2,000 to CIPT for a top-five finish and $1,000 for a top-10 finish. So far this season, the No. 3 team has raised $7,000 towards the cause. The Childress Institute invests resources in research, education and awareness to improve the treatment for critically injured children in the U.S. and AdvoCare's generous donations are aimed at helping to raise awareness for pediatric trauma, the No. 1 killer of children in America. You can help save the lives of injured children by making a contribution to the Childress Institute in two ways: donate $33 in honor of Dillon via his website, or text WIN to 80077 to make a $10 donation.

How do you like old school racing at Darlington Raceway? "I enjoy Darlington Raceway. They call it the Lady in Black and it's a cool track because it's a place where you have to be really patient. You're running right up against the wall and there is a lot of speed there. I enjoy racing there and I can't wait to get there."
If you don't get a stripe at Darlington Raceway do you feel like you haven't really been there? "No, actually I've ran two or three races there now and I don't even think I've gotten one, and I've ran in the top five in all three races. A Darlington stripe is coming surely, I will have one before long. When you get out there by that wall, you are carrying so much speed it's inevitable."
Ty Dillon
No. 33 Armour/Hungry-Man Chevrolet Camaro
This Week's Armour/Hungry-Man Chevrolet at Darlington Raceway ... Ty Dillon will pilot chassis No. 112 from the Richard Childress Racing stable in Friday night's NASCAR Nationwide Series event. This RCR-prepared Chevrolet was driven by Dillon at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March, where he earned an 11th-place finish.
Darlington Details ... This weekend's VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 marks Dillon first career appearance at Darlington Raceway. The Welcome, N.C., native will make his first competitive laps at the 1.366-mile track during Friday's practice session.

The 21-year old driver will take questions from the audience beginning at 1:45 p.m. Eastern Time.
This is your first start at Darlington Raceway, what are your thoughts for this weekend's NASCAR Nationwide Series event? "I'm looking forward to driving the No. 33 RCR Chevrolet two weekends in a row. I think it's really going to help not having a few weekends off between (NASCAR) Nationwide Series races. We had a strong run last weekend at Talladega (Superspeedway) and got caught up in an incident. I'm going to use that momentum going into this weekend's race at Darlington (Raceway). This is also the first race with Armour/Hungry-Man, so we're hoping to put on a good show for them."

That's if the cap stays the same or rises. I see no mention of actual cap numbers in the article, unless I missed it. In all likelihood, if player's salaries are reduced, it will probably follow along some percentage of the cap being reduced as well.
One positive thing mentioned in the article is the possibility of keeping the MLE and allowing teams to go over the cap to sign MLE players.
I've mentioned this many times. The MLE is the key to the Knicks future. If it does not exist, forget any chances of the Knicks winning a championship. With two players taking up over 60% of a team's salary with no draft picks, solid role players or assets to speak of, and without the MLE to sign quality role players, the Knicks would never be contenders.

Richard Strauss: US revival for Die Liebe der Danae(December 2011)
Strauss's opera Die Liebe der Danae received a welcome US revival at Bard SummerScape in July, prompting a reappraisal of the 'cheerful mythology'.
Richard Strauss's penultimate opera, Die Liebe der Danae, is rarely staged, particularly in the USA which has not experienced the work professionally since the Sante Fe production in 1982, so the new staging at the Bard SummerScape counted as a major revival. The staging was directed by Kevin Newbury with designs by celebrated architect Rafael Vinoly and Leon Botstein conducting the American Symphony Orchestra.
The Bard production prompted a wholesale reassessment of the opera, with the New York Times refuting the received view that Danae is uneven, unstageable and uncastable and Opera Today praising the resurrecting of "an incredibly powerful 20th century work". The staging also offered a modern take on the work's conflict between love and wealth, with Pollux's bankrupted court seeking the Midas touch amidst Wall Street skyscrapers.
Die Liebe der Danae came to light in the darkest days of the Second World War, when the apparatus for a new work to enter the international repertoire was effectively dismantled. Strauss only heard the opera in a private performance in 1944, and the official premiere did not take place until 1952, three years after his death. Yet the composer knew the dramatic and musical strength of his creation, noting in a letter to his biographer how Act III contained "some of the best stuff I have ever written" and how his "orchestral colours once again glowed in ancient splendour". This 'cheerful mythology' clearly heralds the composer's valedictory Indian Summer including Capriccio, Metamorphosen and the Four Last Songs.
"Richard Strauss's forgotten gem…"
Opera Today
"With gorgeous music and a plot seemingly tailor-made for our troubled times, it is one of those operas that make you resent the stubborn smallness of the standard repertory... But an opera needs to be able to catch fire onstage, and in the SummerScape production, Danae certainly does... Exhilarating and moving, Danae has found its moment."
New York Times
"It turns out the champions were right. The performance made a persuasive case for the opera as a piece well worth staging... From its agitated opening chords to its elegiac conclusion, the score contains long passages of gorgeous music... And the whimsical mythological plot has some surprisingly effective dramatic moments... Strauss saved the best for last. The final 30 minutes … show the composer at his most inspired."
Associated Press
"The final half hour of the opera shows Strauss working at the top of his game as Danae embraces her true destiny and Jupiter sadly bids the mortal world farewell, all set to music of searing lyrical beauty and gorgeous orchestral colors ... Die Liebe der Danae is much too good an opera to continue a life of semi-obscurity, and we need to see it more often. With luck, Bard's thoughtful production will inspire others to follow suit."
Musical America
Another opera whose star is in the ascendant in the lead up to the composer's 150th anniversary in 2014 is Die Frau ohne Schatten. Thought once to be Strauss and Hofmannsthal's greatest extravagance, productions are proliferating with Kasper Holten choosing the Danish premiere as his last staging in Copenhagen, Christoph Loy returning the work to the Salzburg Festival after a 20 year absence, and Jonathan Kent's production for the Mariinsky Theatre touring to the Edinburgh Festival. As The Independent noted, "the 21st century has been kind", as "the demands for storms, water and fire which previously made the opera almost unproduceable, can be achieved using video and other technologically-driven devices" to realise "Strauss's greatest opera".

Michigan citizens want more support for educators, survey says
Three-quarters of Michiganders say providing stronger support for educators is "critical" or "important" if the state is to improve student learning, according to a new survey released this week that attempts to find out what Michigan citizens want when it comes to improving K-12 education.
Michiganders overwhelmingly favor developing "a stronger support system for educators once they're in the classroom, according to the survey, released by the Center for Michigan, a centrist think tank based in Ann Arbor.
"Options include more intense mentoring to help new teachers and administrators master their craft, ongoing in-depth training and evaluation of educator performance and development of more master teachers -- true experts in the performance of their craft," the Center for Michigan said in its survey report.
Improving teacher preparation is also extremely important to citizens, who want to "raise the bar for entry into education degree programs, require deeper mastery of the subjects teachers teach and institute tougher standards for teacher certification," according to the report. The public's strong support for teacher certification serves in stark contrast to policy proposals that weaken or remove teacher certification requirements.
A vast majority of Michiganders also strongly support expanding early childhood education and reducing class sizes, the survey found.
Strengthening support for educators, improving teacher preparation, reducing class sizes and expanding preschool are all significantly more important to Michigan citizens than other "reforms" like expanding school choice or launching more cyber schools, according to the survey.
In fact, expanding cyber schools and school choice ended up at the very bottom of the list of reforms supported by Michiganders, according to the survey.
"We find considerably less enthusiasm for expanding school choice -- an approach under intense consideration in Lansing," the Center for Michigan said. "In both our community conversations and polls, fewer than one in five participants say it is 'crucial' to expand school choice."
"Likewise, we do not find clear public urgency to expand online learning opportunities," the Center for Michigan report said. "In short, the public is somewhat skeptical -- especially if it means replacing traditional brick-and-mortar schools with more online-only schools."

He walked out during the Memphis game in the 4th qtr, he's been unhappy with not getting a contract extension and not getting his starting job back after his injury. He's probably looking for another team next year if Houston doesn't try to move him by the trade deadline.
He is a score first PG that has upper echelon speed, tailor made for SSOL. He won the NBA most improved player last year for an outstanding year when he also became the starting PG. Excellent 3 pt range but his size limits his defensive ability.
Should we get him if available?
AR for Brooks straight up if a Melo deal falls through.
walker & azubuike for brooks if the melo deal does fall thru
^^^ Damn! Thats pure Anal no KY
I personally am SICK of having guys like this. Aaron Brook is a grown man who, while making over 2 million dollars a year playing a game, walks off the court like a child because he wasn't getting the playing time he deserved. Yes, he can score, but I want him as far away from the chemistry we have on this team as possible. He reminds me too much (attitude wise) of Nate and Marbury. The Knicks are so likeable right now. I literally love this team as much as I loved the 99 team (i know we had some goofballs on that team but never would I call them childish or selfish). Stay away from a kid who cries when he doesn't play.
What a baby!
TD scores for us off the bench right now. Why would you want to pay more money for the same thing? We need more of a conventional PG as a backup.
Real Talk
u never seen Brooks perform have u? tell the truth.......
I would trade Felton for Brooks & Terrence Williams (bad-attitudes)
quicker than the word go. Both players ball-skills, passing-skills,
and athleticism are 5 steps ahead of Felton.
Brooks is just to damn good to be coming off the bench to backup Lowry....
how much a..sss is a Man suppose to kiss?
I like headcoach Adelman 100 times more than celebrity coach Damnphony.
I remember what Adelman did to "PG-Jason Williams" whose skills took the Sacremento Kings out of the decades of darkness and into the winning LIGHT.
Well if we could get him to back-up Felton I'd be all for it....but backing up he might not want to do even though Felton is the starter.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I posted about getting Aaron Brooks in this forum before. But nobody ever listen to me. That was when the Melo thing seemed impossible to do. Now it doesn't sound that good.
I love Terrence Williams, too. Shane Battier, with superior overall athleticism and scoring ability, as well as crisper passing.
*Moz, Turiaf, Williams, Douglas would make a supreme Big 9, for likely D'antoni rotation of
Douglas for game changing defense and energy
Moz and Turiaf complimenting our 4-5 for going big, giving starters rest
Williams substituting both in the 2, 3, even 4 for versatility.
I could see Williams playing the 2 for us, as a starter, and making Fields 6th man.
Fantasy, tho. D'antoni will not trade Felton or make him a backup.
trade me to a team that will appreciate my talent.
Houston just sent a dynamic-run n gun pass off the dribble PG-Ishmeal Smith down to the D.League. They also got a combo-guard in Terrence Williams DNP to the bench who can give u stats close to a tripple-double.
What coach Adelman has not realize.... Keven Martin wild-shootin with no-defense, or team leadership qualities got Adelman FIRED in Sacremento.

More Inspectors
A new state law intended to provide gas companies a powerful incentive – money – to ensure their pipelines are safe went into effect April 29 in West Virginia. Now, state officials need to ensure the statute is being enforced.
Though Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin signed the bill into law April 29, he and other officials staged a symbolic signing event at the Sissonville Fire Department. The site was obviously chosen because of an accident in December, when a major pipeline burst and exploded at Sissonville. Four homes were destroyed and a section of Interstate 77 was ruined and had to be replaced. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.
Investigators found the line at Sissonville failed because the pipe walls had corroded to a fraction of their original size, weakening the line to the point it no longer could handle pressurized gas.
In March, even as state legislators were debating the new pipeline safety bill, a 24-inch "gathering" line failed near Cameron. A few residents in the area had to be evacuated but there were no injuries and no property damage.
Then, in April, a tragedy struck. An explosion and fire occurred at a station in Tyler County where equipment used to monitor the interior condition of pipelines was handled. Two men died.
Under the new law, fines for pipeline safety violations have been increased to as much as $200,000 a day, with a $2 million limit. Again, that provides gas companies with a powerful incentive to ensure their pipelines are in good condition.
But such fines at the state and federal levels usually come into play only when pipelines have failed, sometimes with disastrous results. Meanwhile, the task of inspecting pipelines and related facilities is left largely to companies operating them.
State officials should look into whether the Public Service Commission, which has authority over gas pipelines within West Virginia, has enough personnel to conduct adequate inspections. If not, the Legislature should consider funding additional inspectors, with the goal of spotting deficiencies before they erupt into disasters.

Klim Sponsored Rider Cody Webb clinches Endurocross Championship
News Release – For Immediate Release
RIGBY ID, (November 23rd, 2015) — Cody Webb wrapped up a second consecutive championship this weekend at the final round of the Geico Endurocross Championship in Ontario California. In a season long battle with Colton Haaker the championship came down to the last race of the season but it was Webb who came away with the number one plate. Webb was rewarded for his consistency where he scored championship points in all 9 races and finishing on the podium in all but one of the races. His second place finish in Ontario was enough to secure the 2015 AMA Geico Endurocross championship by 11 points.
"I had a small cushion coming into the final race and I knew I had to be near the front and do what I did all year to clinch the championship. Practice and qualifying didn't go as well as I had liked, but I was able to put it behind me and get the job done in the heat race and the main event where I placed second. I can't thank the RPM racing team enough for their support this year and I am so glad to achieve this championship together with everyone supporting the team." said Cody Webb
"All of us at Klim would like to congratulate Cody and the RPM team on another fantastic season and a second consecutive championship.

What is it and how is it used?
Exforge HCT tablets contain three substances called amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. All of these substances help to control high blood pressure.
- Amlodipine belongs to a group of substances called "calcium channel blockers". Amlodipine stops calcium from moving into the blood vessel wall, which stops the blood vessels from tightening.
- Valsartan belongs to a group of substances called "angiotensin-II receptor antagonists". Angiotensin II is produced by the body and makes the blood vessels tighten, thus increasing the blood pressure. Valsartan works by blocking the effect of angiotensin II.
- Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of substances called "thiazide diuretics". Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine output, which also lowers blood pressure. As a result of all three mechanisms, the blood vessels relax and blood pressure is lowered.
Exforge HCT is used to treat high blood pressure in adult patients who are already taking amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide and who may benefit from taking one tablet containing all three substances.
What do you have to consider before using it?
Do not take Exforge HCT
- if you are more than 3 months pregnant (It is also better to avoid Exforge HCT in early pregnancy – see Pregnancy section).
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to amlodipine, valsartan, hydrochlorothiazide, sulphonamide-derived medicines (medicines used to treat chest or urinary infections), or any of the other ingredients of Exforge HCT (see section 6, "What Exforge HCT contains". If you think you may be allergic, do not take Exforge HCT and talk to your doctor.
- if you have liver problems, such as liver disorders and jaundice (cholestasis).
- if you have severe kidney problems or if you are having dialysis.
- if you are suffering from an inability to produce urine.
- if the level of potassium or sodium in your blood is too low despite treatment.
- if the level of calcium in your blood is too high despite treatment.
- if you have gout (uric acid crystals in the joints). If any of the above applies to you, do not take Exforge HCT and talk to your doctor.
Take special care with Exforge HCT
- if you have a low level of potassium, sodium or magnesium in your blood.
- if you have a high level of calcium in your blood.
- if you are taking medicines or substances that increase the amount of potassium in your blood. These include potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium, potassium-sparing medicines and heparin. It may be necessary to check the amount of potassium in your blood at regular intervals.
- if you have kidney problems, have had a kidney transplant or if you had been told that you have a narrowing of your kidney arteries.
- if you have liver problems.
- if you have or have had heart failure or coronary arterydisease, particularly if you are taking the maximum dose of Exforge HCT (10 mg/320 mg/25 mg)
- if your doctor has told you that you have a narrowing of the valves in your heart (called "aortic or mitral stenosis") or that the thickness of your heart muscle is abnormally increased (called "obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy").
- if you suffer from aldosteronism. This is a disease in which the adrenal glands make too much of the hormone aldosterone If this applies to you, the use of Exforge HCT is not recommended.
- if you suffer from a disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (also called "lupus" or "SLE").
- if you have diabetes (high blood sugar).
- if you have high levels of cholesterol or triglycerides in your blood.
- if you experience skin reactions such as rash after sun exposure
- if you had an allergic reaction to other high blood pressure medicines or diuretics (a type of medicine also known as "water tablets"), especially if you suffer from asthma and allergies
- if you have been sick (vomiting or diarrhoea).
- if you experience dizziness and/or fainting during treatment with Exforge HCT, tell your doctor as soon as possible. If any of these apply to you, talk to your doctor.
You must tell your doctor if you think that you are ( or might become) pregnant. Exforge HCT is not recommended in early pregnancy and must not be taken if you are more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if used at this stage (see section "Pregnancy and breast-feeding").
The use of Exforge HCT in children and adolescents under 18 years of age is not recommended.
Exforge HCT and older people (age 65 years and older)
Exforge HCT can be used by people aged 65 years and over at the same dose as for other adults and in the same way as they have already taken the three substances called amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. Elderly patients, particularly those taking the maximum dose of Exforge HCT (10 mg/320 mg/25 mg), should have their blood pressure checked regularly.
Using other medicines
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used any other medicine, including medicines obtained without a prescription. Your doctor may need to change the dose or take other precautions. In some cases you may have to stop using one of the medicines. This is especially important if you are using any of the medicines listed below:
Do not take together with:
- lithium (a medicine used to treat some types of depression);
- medicines or substances that increase the amount of potassium in your blood. These include potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium, potassium-sparing medicines and heparin. Caution should be used with:
- alcohol, sleeping pills and anaesthetics (medicines allowing patients to undergo surgery and other procedures);
- allopurinol (anti-gout treatment);
- amantadine (anti-Parkinson therapy, also used for influenza treatment);
- anticholinergic agents (medicines used to treat a variety of disorders such as gastrointestinal cramps, urinary bladder spasm, asthma, motion sickness, muscular spasms, Parkinson's disease and as an aid to anaesthesia);
- anticonvulsant medicines and mood-stabilising medicines used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder (e.g. carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, fosphenytoin, primidone);
- cholestyramine and colestipol (substances used mainly to treat high levels of lipids in the blood);
- ciclosporin (a medicine used in transplantation to prevent organ rejection or for other conditions, e.g: rheumatoid arthritis or atopic dermatitis);
- cortisone-like medicines, steroids;
- curare derivatives (a medicine to relax the muscles which is used during operations);

- medicines used for HIV/AIDS (e.g. ritonavir) or for treatment of fungal infections (e.g. ketoconazole);
- medicines used for oesophageal ulceration and inflammation (carbenoxolone);
- medicines used to relieve pain or inflammation, especially non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents;
- nitroglycerin and other nitrates, or other substances called "vasodilators";
- other medicines to treat high blood pressure (beta blockers, diazoxides, methyldopa);
- rifampicin (used, for example, to treat tuberculosis);
- some medicines used to treat infections such as amphotericin, penicillin G, tetracycline;

- vitamin D and calcium salts. Talk to your doctor before drinking alcohol. Alcohol may make your blood pressure fall too much and/or increase the possibility of dizziness or fainting.
Taking Exforge HCT with food and drink
You can take Exforge HCT with or without food.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
You must tell your doctor if you think you are ( or might become) pregnant. Your doctor will normally advise you to stop taking Exforge HCT before you become pregnant or as soon as you know you are pregnant and will advise you to take another medicine instead of Exforge HCT. Exforge HCT is not recommended in early pregnancy and must not be taken if you are more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if it is used after the third month of pregnancy.
Breast-feeding Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding or about to start breast-feeding. Exforge HCT is not recommended for mothers who are breast-feeding, and your doctor may choose another treatment for you if you wish to breast-feed, especially if your baby is a newborn, or was born prematurely.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Driving and using machines
As with many other medicines used to treat high blood pressure, this medicine may make you feel dizzy. If you experience this symptom, do not drive or use tools or machines.
How is it used?
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor if you are not sure. This will help you get the best results and lower the risk of side effects.
The usual dose of Exforge HCT is one tablet per day.
- It is best to take the tablet at the same time each day. Morning is the best time.
- Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
- You can take Exforge HCT with or without food.
Depending on how you respond to the treatment, your doctor may suggest a higher or lower dose.
If you take more Exforge HCT than you should
If you have accidentally taken too many Exforge HCT tablets, talk to a doctor immediately.You may require medical attention.
If you forget to take Exforge HCT
If you forget to take a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember and then take the next dose at its usual time. If it is almost time for your next dose you should simply take the next tablet at the usual time. Do not take a double dose (two tablets at once) to make up for a forgotten tablet.
If you stop taking Exforge HCT
Stopping your treatment with Exforge HCT may cause your disease to get worse. Do not stop taking your medecine unless your doctor tells you to.
Always take this medicine, even if you are feeling well
People who have high blood pressure often do not notice any signs of the problem. Many feel normal. It is very important that you take this medicine exactly as your doctor tells you to get the best results and reduce the risk of side effects.

How should it be stored?
Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
Do not use Exforge HCT after the expiry date which is stated on the carton and blister after EXP. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.
Do not store above 30°C.
Store in the original package in order to protect from moisture.
Do not use any Exforge HCT pack that is damaged or shows signs of tampering.
What is it?
Exforge HCT is a medicine that contains three active substances, amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. It is available as tablets containing amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide in the following amounts: 5/160/12.5 mg, 10/160/12.5 mg, 5/160/25 mg, 10/160/25 mg and 10/320/25 mg.
What is it used for?
Exforge HCT is used to treat essential hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults whose blood pressure is already adequately controlled with a combination of amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. 'Essential' means that the hypertension has no obvious cause. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
How is it used?
Exforge HCT is taken by mouth as one tablet once a day, at the same time of the day and preferably in the morning. The dose of Exforge HCT to be used is the same as the doses of three individual active substances that the patient was taking before. The daily dose of Exforge HCT should not exceed 10 mg of amlodipine, 320 mg of valsartan and 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide.
How does it work?
The three active substances in Exforge HCT are anti-hypertensive medicines that are already in use in the European Union (EU).
Amlodipine is a 'calcium channel blocker'. It blocks special channels on the surface of cells called calcium channels, through which calcium ions normally enter the cells. When calcium ions enter the cells in the muscles of blood vessel walls, this causes contraction. By reducing the flow of calcium into the cells, amlodipine prevents the cells from contracting and helps the blood vessel walls to relax and widen, thereby reducing blood pressure.
Valsartan is an 'angiotensin II receptor antagonist', which means that it blocks the action of a body hormone called angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a powerful vasoconstrictor (a substance that narrows blood vessels). By blocking the receptors to which angiotensin II normally attaches, valsartan stops the hormone having an effect, allowing the blood vessels to widen and blood pressure to reduce. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic. It works by increasing urine output, reducing the volume of fluid in the blood and lowering the blood pressure.
The combination of the three active substances has an additive effect, reducing the blood pressure more than the individual medicines alone. By lowering the blood pressure, the risks associated with high blood pressure, such as having a stroke, are reduced.
How has it been studied?
Because the combination of the three active substances has been in use for a number of years, the company presented studies showing that the tablet containing all three substances is absorbed in the body in the same way as the separate tablets.
In addition, one main study was carried out in 2,271 patients with moderate to severe hypertension with the highest strength of Exforge HCT (320 mg valsartan, 10 mg amlodipine and 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide). Patients received either Exforge HCT or one of the three combinations containing only two of the active substances for eight weeks. The main measure of effectiveness was the average change in the blood pressure.
What benefits has it shown during the studies?
Treatment with the highest strength of Exforge HCT was more effective at treating hypertension than dual combinations containing any of the two active substances. The average reduction in blood pressure was around 39.7/24.7 mmHg in patients taking Exforge HCT compared with 32/19.7 mmHg, 33.5/21.5 mmHg and 31.5/19.5 mmHg in patients taking valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide, valsartan/amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide/amlodipine combinations, respectively.
What is the risk associated?
The most common side effects with Exforge HCT (seen in between 1 and 10 patients in 100) are hypokalaemia (low blood potassium levels), dizziness, headache, hypotension (low blood pressure), dyspepsia (heartburn), pollakiuria (abnormally frequent urination), fatigue (tiredness) and oedema (fluid retention). For the full list of all side effects reported with Exforge HCT, see the Package Leaflet.
Exforge HCT should not be used in people who may be hypersensitive (allergic) to the active substances, to other sulfonamides, to dihydropyridine derivatives or to any of the other ingredients in Exforge HCT. It must not be used in women who are more than three months pregnant. It must also not be used in patients who have liver or bile problems (such as jaundice), severe kidney problems, anuria (a condition in which a patient cannot make or pass urine) or in patients undergoing dialysis (a blood clearance technique). Finally, Exforge HCT must not be used in patients with hypokalaemia (low blood potassium levels), hyponatraemia (low blood sodium levels) and hypercalcaemia (high blood calcium levels) that do not respond to treatment and in patients with hyperuricaemia (high blood levels of uric acid) that causes symptoms.
Why has it been approved?
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) noted that patients already taking the three active substances would be more likely to comply with their treatment if prescribed Exforge HCT which combines the three substances in a single tablet. The main study showed the benefit of the highest strength of Exforge HCT in lowering the blood pressure. For all doses, Exforge HCT also met requirements to prove that it was comparable to the combinations of the individual active substances taken seperately. The CHMP therefore decided that Exforge HCT's benefits are greater than its risks for the treatment of essential hypertension in adults whose blood pressure is already adequately controlled with a combination of amlodipine, valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide. The Committee recommended that Exforge HCT be given marketing authorisation.
Further information
The European Commission granted a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union for Exforge HCT to Novartis Europharm Limited on 16 October 2009.

When Intel Corp. acquired antivirus software company McAfee many believed that the world's largest maker of chips will embed certain exclusive security algorithms directly into its chips, something that will boost competitive qualities of Intel's processors and reduce other software and semiconductor companies' abilities to compete. Even though McAfee does not deny that there will be unique security technologies, there will be no hardware-based antiviral programs.
"We are not embedding anything into the silicon. What we are doing is utilizing features that exist today with the technologies McAfee has to secure the stack in a way that has never been done before. [...] What people do not realize is Intel has already innovated security capabilities into the hardware. That's already shipping. Intel has antitheft built into their technologies today," said David DeWalt, chief executive officer of McAfee, in an interview with Forbes.
Intel already does have a number of unique security capabilities built into its microprocessors. Unfortunately, since some parts of those technologies are not certified or standardized, they are not used by many vendors of security software or devices. The acquisition of McAfee will allow Intel to popularize its exclusive technologies. Other vendors of security software will simply need to adopt similar technologies in order to successfully compete with McAfee.
With better integration between software and hardware, new security models can be enabled in general.
"For 20 years security applications ran above the operating system. By being able to be at a lower layer of the stack, we are able to see some of the bigger threats that are occurring in the marketplace. Advanced persistent threats, parasitic and polymorphic root kits, things that are running inside the operating system kernels and are attacking the core operating system components are creating huge vulnerabilities and threats to today's market. The antivirus products can only do so much, because they sit above the operating system. So, by creating a root of trust at a much lower level of the IT stack, we can protect that stack much more effectively," explained the CEO of McAfee.
In addition to driving unique security technologies into traditional devices, McAfee will allow Intel to boost security of emerging devices, including, but not limited to tablets.
"I would go on to say silicon's only one layer that's important to Intel. Intel also has operating systems and BIOS. Intel acquired a company called Wind River [real time operating system, RTOS], and this is a very strategic asset for McAfee. An RTOS is basically what's running in most embedded devices. Medical devices, ATM machines, point-of-sale registers, airplanes, televisions, automobiles, this is the operating system that is running in those devices. McAfee has integrated with the operating system that Wind River has, and we've hardened it. We made it more secure. We made it manageable. And now, billions of devices that are being delivered into the market through more than 2,000 OEMs that use Wind River, now can have McAfee," said Mr. DeWalt.

The city of Hot Springs (pop. 38,000) is in south-central Arkansas, 49 miles southwest of Little Rock. Hot Springs National Park surrounds the north end of the city. It is the oldest of the parks in the National Park System, dating back to 1832, when Congress established the first federally protected area in the nations history. Hot Springs Reservation — renamed Hot Springs National Park in 1921 — was created by Congress to protect the 47 naturally flowing thermal (147 °F) springs on the southwestern slope of Hot Springs Mountain.
Located within the core of the Ouachita Mountains, Hot Springs is surrounded by spectacular and diverse geology. Geologic and hydrologic features of interest within Hot Springs include the thermal springs; a well exposed Ordovician through Mississippian sedimentary sequence of chert, shale, sandstone, and novaculite; complex geologic structures; and recent damage from landslides and flash floods. Nearby geologic features of interest include quartz crystal mines, the Magnet Cove alkalic intrusive complex, barite and vanadium mines, and diamond-bearing lamproite near Murfreesboro.
For those with time for recreational activities, Hot Springs has many options. Within Hot Springs National Park, one can enjoy a relaxing bath spa and massage, tour the historic landmarks, including classic hotels and the famed Bathhouse Row, or shop for unique antiques and collectibles or fine art in world-class art studios. Nearby activities of interest include thoroughbred horse racing at Oaklawn Park, interactive museums, and Garvin Gardens — a 210-acre botanical garden.
As you make your plans to attend this meeting, please encourage your students and colleagues to do likewise. See you in Hot Springs!

From what I've read in many various LLL resources, most kids won't self wean until beyond 2 years old, maybe closer to 3 or 4. if mom gets pregnant that more kids will "self-wean" during the pregnancy but i don't really consider that try self-weaning on the child's timetable.
Self-weaning would be the child gradually nursing less during the day and night. Eventually they become more interested in other things in the world instead of nursing...

Good question! I'll be interested to hear about everyone's experience.
I have one kid who is weaned, but it was before one year old. We supplemented a lot from very early on. Also, I did not expect breastfeeding to last a year. So definitely parent-led.
My 14-month-old girls don't show any interest in stopping.
Some babies will stop quickly, but it is rare.

Weaning can be so gradual that you look back and say, yeah, he's nursing less now than a year ago or even 6 months ago. At 2 DS is weaning (and technically has been since he started solids), but it's been an incredibly gradual process and one that he doesn't seem to be getting close to the end of. How Weaning Happens is a good quick read about the subject.

Last week, news sites and social media locales alike were buzzing with news of the departure of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who will become chair of the company's board. Tim Cook will take over as the company's chief executive officer.
Who? You might be asking yourself. Cook was Apple's chief operating officer, and he has run the company in the past: In 2004, when Jobs was recovering from pancreatic cancer surgery; in 2009, when Jobs required a liver transplant; and, most recently, earlier in 2011 when Jobs took another medical leave.
According to a August 25, 2011, Wall Street Journal article, "Cook isn't the showman that Mr. Jobs is, but people who know him call him an 'operational genius' who is responsible for crafting Apple's current supply chain system and helping transform the company into one of the most efficient electronics manufacturers today."
While many industry experts have voiced concern that Jobs is a tough act to follow, Cook brings his own brand of smarts to his new position. In a Bloomberg article, Adam Satariano and Peter Burrows write: "Cook's operational skills have served as the backbone of Apple's expansion since he joined the company from Compaq Computer Corp. in 1998. His inventory management skills allowed Apple to sell iMac computers in a broad palette of colors instead of just beige. The company keeps up with demand for its iPods, iPhones, and iPads, with new products delivered to the customer's doorstep often in less than 48 hours."
Moving to the C-suite
Now more than ever, companies are relying on supply chain and operations management experts to guide them through the labyrinth of this post-recession market. Tim Cook is a prominent example of this reliance__and, in his case, he earned elevation to Apple's top executive spot.
How does your industry knowledge assist your company's top decision makers? Are you ready to become one of those decision makers yourself? Earning your APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) designation is the preeminent way to demonstrate significant commitment to your profession and your career, distinguish yourself as an industry expert, and excel with your newly acquired specialized knowledge.
APICS is working to launch enhanced CSCP courseware for 2012, which includes more detailed information on risk, strategy, sustainability, and global supply chain. If you have been contemplating earning your CSCP designation, 2012 is a great time to start your studies. The new courseware, like the CSCP courseware of the past, will position you to most effectively lead your company into a new era of business.

What is in this article?:
- Should farmers invest in IRAs to save income taxes?
- Benefit of traditional IRA
- An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a savings plan that provides the taxpayer (farmer) with tax advantages for setting aside money for retirement and diversifies investments.
- There are two types of IRAs for retirement saving.
USDA estimates average net cash income for farm businesses is projected to be $82,800 in 2011, nearly 17 percent above the 2010 estimate of $71,000.
With prices expected to approach record levels for major crops and some livestock, farmers are anticipating high income tax liabilities when they file their 2011 tax returns.
Farmers have routinely prepaid operating expenses (seed, fertilizer, chemical, feed etc.) and purchased new equipment as a means of reducing their tax liabilities. Historically, farmers have re-invested in their businesses with little thought of diversifying their investments into non-farm assets.
An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a savings plan that provides the taxpayer (farmer) with tax advantages for setting aside money for retirement and diversifies investments.
There are two types of IRAs for retirement saving.
Traditional IRAs are funded with before-tax contributions and the Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax contributions. A taxpayer can open and make a contribution to a traditional IRA and/or a Roth IRA if the taxpayer (or if filing a joint return, their spouse), receives taxable compensation (e.g. earned income — wages, salaries, commissions, self-employment income — net earnings from schedule F or C) during the year.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has stated that the following types of income are not considered compensation: earnings and profits from property (e.g. rental income), interest and dividend income, pension or annuity income and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) payments reported on Form 1040SE, line 1b.
A taxpayer whose age is more than age 70.5 years by Dec. 31, 2011 cannot make a contribution to a traditional IRA.
Regardless of the age of the taxpayer, contributions can be made to a Roth IRA.
Contributions to traditional and Roth IRAs can be made at any time during the year and up to the due date for filing a tax return for that year, not including extensions. For tax year 2011, contributions must be made by April 17, 2012.
The amount contributed to an IRA is based on the amount of taxable income received by the taxpayer during the year. In 2011, the maximum contribution for a traditional IRA and Roth IRA is the lesser of $5,000 or 100 percent earned income ($6,000 age 50 or older).
For example, a farmer with $4,000 in earned income (net schedule F after depreciation) would be limited to a maximum contribution of $4,000 to an IRA.
The maximum contribution to a spousal traditional or Roth IRA (for a spouse with little or no earned income in 2011) is the lesser of $5,000 or 100 percent of combined earned income ($6,000 age 50 or older).
A taxpayer may contribute 100 percent of earned income to either a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA, or split between both types of IRAs up to the annual contribution limit.

Sabres Locker Room Update
Sabres national broadcast schedule announced
'In addition to their regular Monday and Tuesday night national broadcasts, VERSUS has added a "Game of the Week" telecast on Wednesday nights. Buffalo appears in the VERSUS "Game of the Week" a league-high seven times, two more than any other team. These games will be shown exclusively on VERSUS throughout the United States and will not be aired on MSG.'
Seneca Gaming adds ex-Sabre for PR work
"Robitaille, now a Sabres' broadcaster, will work with Seneca Gaming to develop hockey-related events at its three area casinos, Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel, Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino and Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel. He will also represent Seneca Gaming at various community events during the year including making appearances at Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino immediately after Buffalo Sabres' home games at HSBC Arena, which is just a few blocks away from the casino."
Sabres lock up Gragnani for another year
"Gragnani followed up his regular season performance with a team-leading seven points (1+6) in Buffalo's seven-game loss to Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Gragnani's six assists were a Sabres rookie record for assists by a defenseman in one playoff series, and he also tied Pierre Turgeon (1988) for rookie points in one series. Despite playing in just seven playoff games, Gragnani's seven points led all rookie defensemen in the postseason, and he finished fourth in rookie playoff scoring."
Buffalo Sabres 2010
"Buffalo Sabres 2010-11 Plays of the Year"
Sabres sign Ryan and Szczechura
'Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier today announced that left wing Michael Ryan and center Paul Szczechura have both agreed to one-year contracts.'
ROB RAY signing autographs
"Tuesday night baseball at Dwyer stadium brings the Brooklyn Cyclones back to Batavia. The NY Mets short season single-A team. It also brings former Buffalo Sabres Rob Ray to Dwyer for pre-game autographs. Buffalo Sabres Legend Rob Ray will sign autographs in the concourse pre-game. Gates open at 6:05pm. First pitch is 7:05pm."
Stirling shoots for Hockeyville title
""Rayzor became Stirling's first NHL skater when he made his debut with the Buffalo Sabres during the 1989-90 campaign," said Solmes, "and he still comes back from his residence in Buffalo every summer to support The Friends of Stirling charity golf tournament.""
Isles' days on the island are numbered
"* Shea Weber's $7.5 million arbitration award gives some idea how much money it would cost the Sabres to lock Tyler Myers into a long-term deal. Weber is the best defenseman in the NHL, with apologies to Nicklas Lidstrom. Myers isn't going to get Weber money, but you can expect him to collect about $6 million a year when his contract expires after the upcoming season.'

Are copper thieves to blame again?
Hitting the same location from less than two months ago. The city believes the culprits are vandals looking for copper. It's a problem that just won't go away, and this time 35 cameras on Oahu have gone dark.
Click here to watch Nana Ohkawa's report.
The barbed wire fence, warning signs and a combination lock didn't stop vandals from getting to fiber optic cables under the Middle Street viaduct for a second time.
The city's transportation chief, Mike Formby, says he knows what the vandals are looking for.
"Clearly there's no copper, and after they cut the wire they determine there's no copper and they leave everything," said Formby.
Vandals this time left the cut cable neatly wound.
"It's a very odd finding. Normally when you come across a scene like this you wouldn't expect to find the fiber optic cable coiled and taped," said Formby.
At about 2 a.m. Christmas Day, vandals cut into a conduit, then cut a fiber optic cable. The cut cable, cut the connection to 35 cameras affecting views from Middle Street to Ewa and from Kaneohe.
That means workers in the city's traffic management center can't see what's going on, and won't know what changes to make to traffic signals to ease the flow of cars.
"We can't remotely control the cameras and regulate traffic," said Formby.
Back in November when the cables were vandalized in the same area it took a week to get the traffic cameras up and running again. This time transportation officials say it could take up to 30 days. They are looking for ways to discourage vandals from hitting the same spot over and over again.
"What I've asked my staff to do is continue to look for more ways to harden the conduit that secures the fiber optic cable to make it that much more difficult for someone to do it in the future," said Formby.
Security cameras that are up in the area aren't working and Formby says there are no plans to reconnect them. Thieves also stole copper from retired ambulances that are sitting on the site.
Each time these thieves hit, it costs taxpayers up to $15,000 to repair the damages.

"LOVE these return labels! They look so adorable, if my fiances name wasn't on them I would make sure every envelope we sent out was hot pink. They are so stylish and modern. Will be ordering several more!"
"The labels turned out exactly as pictured and very cute. They are perfect for the cards I'm sending out. I would absolutely order again."
