aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine
Generic Name: aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine (AS pir in, KAF een, and dye HYE dro KOE deen)
Brand Name: Synalgos-DC
What is aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine?
Aspirin is a salicylate (sa-LIS-il-ate). It works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It relaxes muscle contractions in blood vessels to improve blood flow. Dihydrocodeine is related to codeine. It is an opioid pain medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic.
Aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine is a combination medicine used to treat moderate to severe pain.
Aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine?
Dihydrocodeine can slow or stop your breathing, and may be habit-forming. Use only your prescribed dose, and swallow the pill whole to avoid a potentially fatal dose. Never share this medicine with another person.
MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription.
Aspirin may cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal.
Medicines that contain dihydrocodeine or codeine should not be given to a child just after surgery to remove the tonsils or adenoids.
Get emergency medical help if a child taking this medication has breathing problems, blue lips, or severe drowsiness, or if you cannot wake the child up from sleep.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine?
Aspirin may cause stomach or intestinal bleeding, which can be fatal. These conditions can occur without warning while you are taking aspirin.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to aspirin, caffeine, or dihydrocodeine.
In some people, codeine (dihydrocodeine) breaks down rapidly in the liver and reaches higher than normal levels in the body. This can cause dangerously slow breathing and may cause death, especially in a child.
Medicines that contain dihydrocodeine or codeine should not be given to a child just after surgery to remove the tonsils or adenoids.
Some medicines can interact with dihydrocodeine and cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. Be sure your doctor knows if you also take medicine for depression, mental illness, Parkinson's disease, migraine headaches, serious infections, or prevention of nausea and vomiting. Ask your doctor before making any changes in how or when you take your medications.
To make sure this medicine is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
a bleeding or blood clotting disorder;
stomach ulcer or bleeding;
severe constipation, blockage in your stomach or intestines;
liver or kidney disease;
asthma or other breathing disorder;
a history of head injury or brain tumor;
a history of drug or alcohol addiction; or
if you use a sedative like Valium (diazepam, alprazolam, lorazepam, Ativan, Klonopin, Restoril, Tranxene, Versed, Xanax, and others).
If you use dihydrocodeine while you are pregnant, your baby could become dependent on the drug. This can cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the baby after it is born. Babies born dependent on habit-forming medicine may need medical treatment for several weeks. Taking aspirin during late pregnancy may cause bleeding in the mother or the baby during delivery. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
This medication can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. The use of codeine by some nursing mothers may lead to life-threatening side effects in the baby. Aspirin use while breast-feeding could cause bleeding in the infant. Do not breast-feed while taking this medicine.
Do not give this medication to a child or teenager with a fever, flu symptoms, or chicken pox. Salicylates can cause Reye's syndrome, a serious and sometimes fatal condition in children.
How should I take aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Dihydrocodeine can slow or stop your breathing. Never use this medicine in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Dihydrocodeine may be habit-forming, even at regular doses. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription. Selling or giving away aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine is against the law.
Do not stop using this medicine suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using this medicine. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Dihydrocodeine is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since this medicine is used when needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are on a schedule, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of dihydrocodeine can be fatal.
Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness or insomnia, tremors, fast heart rate, pinpoint pupils, ringing in your ears, fainting, weak pulse, seizure (convulsions), blue lips, shallow breathing, or no breathing.
What should I avoid while taking aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine?
This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine will affect you. Dizziness or severe drowsiness can cause falls or other accidents.
Do not drink alcohol. Dangerous side effects or death could occur.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any cough, cold, allergy, or pain medication. Aspirin and caffeine are contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of a certain drug. Check the label to see if a medicine contains aspirin or caffeine.
Aspirin, caffeine, and dihydrocodeine side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Like other narcotic medicines, dihydrocodeine can slow your breathing. Death may occur if breathing becomes too weak.
Seek emergency medical attention if a child taking this medication has any of the following life-threatening side effects: noisy breathing, sighing, slow breathing with long pauses between breaths; being unusually sleepy or hard to wake up; blue colored lips.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
shallow breathing, slow heart rate;
fast or pounding heart rate, muscle twitching;
confusion, unusual thoughts or behavior;
infertility, missed menstrual periods;
impotence, sexual problems, loss of interest in sex;
symptoms of stomach bleeding--bloody or tarry stools, coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds; or
low cortisol levels-- nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dizziness, worsening tiredness or weakness.
Seek medical attention right away if you have symptoms of serotonin syndrome, such as: agitation, hallucinations, fever, sweating, shivering, fast heart rate, muscle stiffness, twitching, loss of coordination, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Serious side effects are more likely to occur in older adults and those who are ill or debilitated.
Common side effects may include:
dizziness, drowsiness;
nausea, vomiting, constipation;
sleep problems (insomnia); or
itching or mild rash.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Engaging in Innis Student Life & Housing
Being a student at U of T and Innis College involves much more than the academic business of your courses, programs and degree. Student life refers to the realm of opportunities and services that take place outside of the classroom. This includes clubs, teams, social events, and peer mentorship, just to name a few. Fully "preparing for first year" also means discovering and engaging in these facets of student life. What follows is a list of highlights for Innis College students:
- Innis College Student Society (ICSS): Every student at Innis College belongs to the student-governed ICSS. Your ICSS Council coordinates a wide range of events, clubs, teams and opportunities to engage in our vibrant Innis community, including the much anticipated Orientation Week. Keep an eye out for Council elections, when two first year student reps are voted in.
- Orientation Week: This is a weeklong series of activities designed to transition new students into life at Innis and U of T. Year after year, "frosh week" proves to be a fun, memorable and informative experience, where new students begin to form lasting friendships. Visit the ICSS website for more information.
- Campus Tours: Before arriving at U of T and Innis College in September, consider a visit to downtown Toronto to orient yourself to the St. George campus, the surrounding neighbourhoods and your transportation options. The Nona Macdonald Visitor's Centre offers regular campus walking tours throughout the summer, as do the U of T libraries.
- Office of Student Life: Here at Innis, we have an entire team of professionals dedicated to enhancing the student life experience. Led by our Dean of Students, Tim Worgan, this team facilitates opportunities in four program areas: leadership, mentorship, community outreach and life skills. Visit the Innis Student Life website to find out how to get involved.
Student Housing
Many Innis College students choose to live in on-campus student housing.
- 329 students, 60% of whom are in their first year, live in the Innis Residence that is located right across the street from the College.
- Many Innisians also call the Chestnut Residence home.
The student housing experience is about much more than a convenient location. The residence experience is an interactive, safe and supportive one, where you are an automatic member of a tightly-knit community.
- This FAS website provides a good entry point to discovering your housing options. Note the MyRes website, through which you will apply and prepare for first year residence life.
- Both the Innis and Chestnut Residences offer building tours throughout the summer, in addition to providing photo and video tours on their respective websites.
- The central Housing Services office is the primary resource for all forms of student accommodation including off-campus, temporary and independent housing options.
Before school begins, you will also want to consider your food options on campus. The UeaT website is your best starting point. Here you can find a detailed map of the 30+ cafés, restaurants and dining halls, and you can shop around for a meal plan that best fits your lifestyle.
Note that residents of Innis Residence do not require a meal plan, as they have access to a fully-equipped kitchen within their suites.
Within the College building, the ever-popular Innis Café provides a vast range of breakfast and lunch options, including freshly-squeezed juices and smoothies.
Now that you are aware of your student life opportunities, and have made some important decisions about housing and food, you are almost ready to begin. Find out what last minute items you should consider before your first classes begin.

Doc McStuffins: Moving with Doc is an app that's all about practicing healthy eating habits and exploring the importance of exercise. Kids can choose which Doc McStuffins character they'd like to play as in the Backyard Games, and then train with that character through five activities: a bubble obstacle course, jumping rope, swinging rings, a food catch game, and stretching with Doc. Once kids have completed the training sessions, they can compete in the Backyard Games, a timed event in which you try to beat your best score by getting through three of the activities. Kids can also keep track of healthy activities they complete outside of the app with the Healthy Me Chart feature, which kids can decorate with digital stickers they earn by completing each activity.
Aside from the stretching activity, kids aren't really participating in physical activity as they play with this app. But seeing their favorite characters exercising might encourage kids to exercise outside of the app. The ability to decorate their Healthy Me Chart also offers kids motivation to do healthy activities on their own.
This app is for ages birth–5, but we think the sweet spot will be kids 2–5.
The HD version of this app is compatible with the iPad running iOS 6.0 or later. The non-HD version is compatible with the iPhone 4 or later, iPad 3 or later, and iPod Touch 5th generation and is optimized for the iPhone 5.
The Parents section can only be accessed by entering a numbered code, but that code is provided, so kids could easily enter it themselves. Once inside the Parents section, there are links to other Disney apps, and tapping on them takes you to the Apple App Store where, if kids know their parents' Apple password, they could easily finalize a purchase.

If your family loves the silver screen and thrill rides that may cause some to scream, Universal Studios is the place for you and your family this summer. Universal Studios is one of the oldest movie studios in Hollywood. The first theme park originated in Hollywood when it began giving studio tours. This theme park has expanded and has also led to the creation of other Universal Studios theme parks located in Hollywood, California, and Orlando, Florida.
Between the two locations and handful of Universal Studios theme parks there are plenty of rides and attractions to keep the family busy for days! Since time is of the essence I'm highlighting the "must see" attraction of Orlando and Hollywood.
One of the classic thrills at Universal Studios Hollywood was the King Kong Adventure. Unfortunately a fire in 2008 severely damaged this attraction. But it was rebuilt and based on the 2005 film adaptation and with the help of filmmaker Peter Jackson it became the world's largest, most intense 3D experience. King Kong 360 3D features two curved screens that are 187 feet wide and 40 feet tall — that's larger than 16 traditional movie screens! It's a multi-sensory thrill that is sure to be the highlight of your trip to Universal Studios Hollywood.
At Universal Studio's Orlando Islands of Adventure Park not only do you have the opportunity to experience thrills of the silver screen but also the pages of the most beloved book series of this generation in "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter." Experience the sights, sounds and food native to the Harry Potter world. Dine at the Three Broomsticks for some fish and chips and a cold Butterbeer, head to Honeydukes for some Chocolate Frogs and find the wand for you at Ollivander's Wand Shop. The highlight of the entire Wizarding World of Harry Potter is the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride. Experience the thrills Harry Potter and his friends experienced at Hogwarts when you strap in and enjoy what Themeparkinsider.com named the Best New Attraction of 2010.
Whether you get your Universal Studios fun in California or Florida be sure to stay at a Best Western hotel. There are Best Western hotels located just a few miles from either Universal Studios locations.
Learn more at Best Western California and Best Western Orlando.
Have you been to either Universal Studios locations? Have you experienced the wrath of King Kong? Or found the wand made for you at Ollivander's? Are there other rides you'd like to highlight? We'd love to hear about it!

Sunny Skies for Weather Futures
It's raining dollar bills for the 60 business and meteorology students at the Pennsylvania State University, who participated in an experiment to see if futures markets can be used to accurately forecast the weather.
Economists at the university's Mary Jean and Frank P. Smeal College of Business and professionals at the College of Earth & Mineral Sciences operated these week-long markets with funding from the National Science Foundation. Each participant had the opportunity to buy and sell contracts representing a temperature range. If the temperature fell within that range, the seller was obligated to pay the buyer $1. Participants could use any information they could find to decide which contracts to buy and sell.
The experiment found that students were about as accurate as professional weather services, including AccuWeather, the BBC, CNN, and the National Weather Service. Proving money is quite an incentive, the temperatures predicted by the market were only off by 6.6% on average.
Researchers wanted to give students hands-on experiences with future markets and sought to see if markets truly can predict uncertain events accurately. The weather, says Anthony Kwasnica, associate professor of business economics at Penn State, offers 20-20 hindsight to futures markets because you eventually know the exact high and low temperature. That allows you to gauge your accuracy, whereas you'll never know exactly how much a company such as Microsoft (MSFT) is really worth even by studying its stock price, he adds.
"As an economist, I don't care that much about weather. I want to learn about markets," says Kwasnica. "I want to know what makes markets tick." Kwasnica says he and his colleagues will launch a market in July to predict the North Atlantic Oscillation, a phenomenon associated with winter fluctuations in temperature, rainfall, and storminess in Europe. The group plans to run many other markets related to weather if it can find the funding, he adds. If Kwasnica has his way, Penn State will be flooded with opportunities to test futures markets.
Culture Flub
Many people in India believe in karma, or the idea that making good choices now will account for positive outcomes in the future in this life and other lives. The truly faithful say deception, even self-deception, gets in the way of positive results. Understanding these beliefs can help marketers better connect to Indian consumers.
Praveen Kopalle, a native of India and associate professor of business administration at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, and his colleagues set out to discover the impact of cultural variables—in this case a belief in karma—on customer expectations and satisfaction. The team surveyed people in India who believe in karma about how they would react to hypothetical advertisements and shopping experiences related to automobile tires.
The researchers already knew that skeptical Americans have lower expectations of the performance of products that are advertised to be high quality. Indians, on the other hand, expect advertisers to refrain from deception and make good choices with karma in mind. Therefore, the survey showed that they had higher expectations of the product and would be disappointed if the goods did not live up to advertisers' promises. The academic paper on the study is in the editing process.
Practitioners can use these findings to improve customer satisfaction by better managing expectations. In other words, a company, when advertising, can inflate the positives of its goods or services in the U.S. and deflate them in India.
Marketers get the best lesson of all, says Kopalle: "Don't just transfer ad messages from one culture to another."
Family vs. Career
By now, everyone knows that work can spill into your personal life and threaten your family. But can family problems damage your career? A recent Canadian study published in Applied Psychology and out of the DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., found that people with family demands feel they are given fewer career opportunities and have poorer relationships with managers.
Researchers surveyed 381 public-sector employees, mostly senior- and mid-level managers and professionals, about their family and work lives. The sample was split evenly between men and women, which showed that family burdens that infringe on career rest with some men nowadays, too, says Rick Hackett, professor and Canada Research chair at DeGroote. The results weren't reported by the sex of the respondents.
Companies can learn from the results. The study also showed that employees experiencing the greatest pull from home tend to have fewer mental and physical resources to devote to their paid jobs, which results in declining work performance.
Still, wanting to rise to the top does not have to mean ignoring responsibilities on the home front. "The key message is that workers ought to not sacrifice family and home for career," says Hackett. "But they should bring planning and discipline to the process [at home]." He suggests that people use the same framework they would to create a financial portfolio to organize their home life. And managers have a responsibility, says Hackett, to create a culture where people can take advantage of their benefits, such as paternity leave, without guilt or repercussions.

Renewed optimism in the wake of busiest year for Latin American equity sales since 2010
Total equity flows into emerging markets have buoyed
expectations of a pick-up in stock issuance by Latin American
companies in 2014, despite outflows last month from emerging
market equity funds.
Investors have continued adding to their equity allocations
even though global emerging market equity funds tracked by EPFR
saw $15.6 billion of outflows in 2013, $4.3 billion of which
exited in the two weeks to December 20, according to Barclays.
This followed a bumper year for equity sales in Latin
Data from eight major emerging markets indicated total net
foreign equity inflows of $23 billion between August and
December, the investment bank said. A high proportion of retail
investors in equity funds likely accounted for the trend
diverging from that of total flows, the investment bank
"We interpret the total equity flows and equity fund flow
data as meaning that retail-type foreign investor sales are
being met by net purchases from other foreign investors," said
"These could be private institutional, quasi-public, and
private wealth buyers whose actions are difficult to capture in
conventional fund flow data."
The analysis gave optimism after a busy year in the equity
markets in Latin America, although one with middling
performance: emerging market equity funds lost 1.77% of their
value in the year to December 19 — those focused on
Latin America lost 14.72%. Global small and mid-caps performed
better, gaining 25.6%.
However, persistent turbulence means that companies will
need to time their equity capital raises carefully, analysts
"We are heading into the fifth year of very volatile market
conditions. The window of opportunity for new issuers to hit
the market has been narrow," said Fabio Nazari, head of equity
capital markets at BTG Pactual. LF

Costume Information
|Cost :
|around £75
|Will be remaking some parts, doing better make-up etc.
Worn at Midlands MCM Expo 2013
This was something I wanted to make next year, but saw it for second hand in my size and bought it instead! The costume I was making for Midlands MCM 2013 (Tira SC4 P1) wasn't going to get finished in time T_T so I went ahead and bought this costume, but had only two weekends to make the gun, style a wig and sort out the rest of the accessories, so it's quite rushed!
I styled the wig using lots of pva glue and hairspray. I made the gun out of wood and foam, and hair accessories were quickly thrown together made from wood, worbla and pipe cleaners lol. I bought plain brown boots on eBay and painted the yellow and white with acrylic paints, which unfortunately cracked a bit during the day. The skirt was far too long when it arrived so I had to shorten it, and I slightly took in the top to make it more fitted to my body type.
Can't wait to see pictures!!!
I'd love to see the gun and how you've styled the wig! ^^
Awesome costume. ^o^
you make such a pretty mami <3
You look great, really accurate. :)
You were such a pretty Mami!
This is really really good! Amazing! Incredibly accurate! Well done! I wish I had the same skills as you. Can't wait to see your next cosplay. :)
Amazing Mami, wow!! I LOVE that gun and the wig is one of the most accurate I've ever seen
Lovely costume Rach, I love the wig ^^ gun is looking good too!
Cant believe I didnt see you at expo! You look awesome as Mami, the wig and gun look great!
You look really good Rach! (I also really love how you styled the wig *0*)

Options market sees big earnings move for Apple
By Angela Moon and Doris Frankel
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The wild ride in Apple shares this year could get even more interesting when the company reports quarterly results after the bell on Tuesday.
Judging by trade in the options market, investors expect Apple shares to jump or fall by about 7.5 percent, a much greater swing than the average post-earnings move of about 4.25 percent in the past four quarters.
Apple shares have experienced wild swings since touching an all-time high of $644 on April 10. The stock closed down 0.2 percent at $571.70 on Monday, but is up about 41 percent for the year.
Although the moves in Apple shares have been a huge story for financial markets all year, results for the latest quarter will be released in a more anxious environment.
"The reason why the move this time is greater than previous is because there is just so much uncertainty, as the global economy is giving mixed signals," said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist for TD Ameritrade in Chicago.
"Investors are expecting Apple to beat earnings but they also expect Apple to give out a guidance of a slowdown going forward."
Based on the activity of weekly Apple options - mostly used for short-term bets and earnings plays as they only have a week-long lifespan and expire every Friday - Apple shares are expected to move by $43, or 7.5 percent, in either direction.
Such a move would be the biggest since the shares fell by 10.6 percent when results for the fourth-quarter of 2007 were released in January 2008. Continued...

Joseph - Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't think it's -bs-. I tested to see what would happen if I didn't resample at all, but kept estimating and testing on the original data - same problem. In this test program, I also took out all the -lincoms- and -test- commands and just redid the estimation. There was still a very small increase in execution time with iteration number, but nowhere near what it was before.

Hi - I am running Stata 11 on Windows XP and I am implementing a form of
multiple testing using a resampling method as described in Westfall & Young's
text. Basically, for each iteration the method is:
1)resample the data modified to a joint null situation (I use the Stata -bs-
command for this)
2) fit a model to the resampled modified data
3) do a bunch of tests using -test-
4) save the test results.
These operations are identical for each iteration, yet the time per iteration
increases roughly linearly until it becomes prohibitive to continue.
If I stop after a given number of iterations, I must close out all Stata
processes before starting again, else the bogged down state still holds.
Previous versions of this that used the estimated coefficients and standard
errors without -test- didn't seem to have this problem. So I suspect it has
something to do with repeated use of the -test- command. Maybe something needs
to be reset or cleared after each iteration?
I tried increasing the memory allocated to Stata, but that didn't seem to help.
I would appreciate any suggestions for improving efficiency here.
Could the problem lie with -bs-? I think that -bs- keeps track of the original
configuration of the dataset with pointers or hidden variables or something.
If, between iterations, you're not allowing -bs- to restore the original
configuration, then these pointers, hidden variables or whatever will cumulate
linearly with each iteration and tie up resources.
It looks like you've already done the Westfall-Young "maxT" (previous versions
using only coefficients and their standard errors) and are now going for their
"minP" (current version using -test- results). Is adding -test- to the routine
the only change, or could there also be some difference in how -bs- is used,
e.g., by making changes to the dataset (saving model results in the dataset via,
say, -estimates-) before -bs- has had the chance to restore the dataset and
release resources used in keeping track of its original configuration?

Congressman Sam Farr (D-Carmel) released the following statement on the Republican House leadership's decision to recess today until after the 2012 elections, the earliest adjournment date in 52 years:
"Today I stood with the Democratic caucus on the Capitol steps, to call upon Speaker John Boehner to keep the House of Representatives in session and working for the American people. Ignoring their obligations, the 'Do-Nothing' Republican led House recessed today until after the November elections. This means in four months, the House will have been in session for only eight days. The American people deserve better.
"During the eight days we were in session, the Majority focused on election year messaging bills championed by the Tea Party, instead of the issues that are important to the American public. On issue after issue, the Majority failed to lead, electing to once again kick the can down the road on important items rather than seek real solutions to our nation's problems.
"The Republicans' failure in leadership has left us without a jobs bill. President Obama put a common sense approach on the table to create one million new jobs immediately. The Republican leadership has refused to act, leaving many families still without a paycheck.
"It has left us without a comprehensive five-year Farm Bill. The current version is set to expire in nine days, meaning the financial security of Central Coast farmers and the 16 million agriculture jobs nationally are now in jeopardy.
"Their failures have left millions of middle class Americans in danger of receiving a larger tax bill come January. The Democrats put forth a plan that would cut taxes for 98% of Americans. The Republicans continue to hold these cuts hostage, favoring additional tax cuts for the wealthy.
"And their failures have pushed our economy closer to the fiscal cliff. Democrats are willing to consider a balanced bill to meet our financial obligations. The Republican leadership refuses to negotiate with Democrats in the House and Senate, leaving the threat of drastic cuts to vital programs looming while our debt continues to grow.
"Leadership is about getting results. As the least productive Congress ever, the Republicans in Washington have no results to show the American people. Democrat members of Congress want to stay in session to work towards solving our nation's problems. The 'Do-Nothing' Republicans simply want to cut and run."

very first successful gene therapy was used to treat SCID back in
1990. Often referred to as "bubble-boy syndrome," SCID
is caused by a single defective gene, and causes the human immune
system to fail. In other words, the body has no defenses against
diseases like chicken pox or even the common cold.
believed that replacing the defective gene could reverse the effects.
The first patient to undergo this experimental treatment was a 4-year-old
girl suffering from SCID. The team of researchers injected copies
of a working gene into specially engineered (created) viruses. The
viruses were injected into the patient, "delivering" billions
of the new healthy genes. The treatment was a success, but the patient
must still receives drug therapy to help her stay healthy.

HYDE PARK—In a little religious magazine the other day I came across some information about the background of our American Thanksgiving Day, and I think it is interesting for all of us to have some of this information before us.
There are five people who had much to do with the establishment of this day. They are: "Governor Bradford, the founder, representing the Colonial era: Pres. Washington, first executive to proclaim a national observance of the day; Pres. Madison, for his revival of the institution; Mrs. Hale, for her life-long efforts on behalf of a specific date; and Pres. Lincoln, who established by his proclamation of 1863 the first annual Thanksgiving Day."
Gov. William Bradford of the Plymouth colony called together the early settlers in the year 1621 at Plymouth. They thanked God for being alive and for having food and clothing for the year. No specific day was set at that time. But from time to time Gov. Bradford, who was a man of religious conviction, called his people together for these purposes.
During the Revolutionary War, days of fasting and prayer were recommended by Congress and at the end of the war President Washington issued a proclamation in which he named Thursday, November 26, as a day for the citizens of the new nation "to thank God for a Constitutional form of government and the blessings that accompanied it."
No further mention is made of Thanksgiving Day until 1815 when President Madison revived it on a national scale. He urged the people to offer thanks on a day set apart by proclamation, which came at the close of the war with England and, therefore, was considered a season for prayer and praise for national guidance and peace.
Then for nearly 50 years there were no more national proclamations, though governors of states occasionally set apart certain days for the observance of a feast of thanksgiving.
Sarah Josepha Hale, a New England woman, worked for 20 years to have a national fall festival established, emphasizing that "Thanksgiving Day is the national pledge of Christian faith... The observance of the day has been gradually extended and for a few years past efforts have been made to have a fixed day which will be universally observed throughout the country... The last Thursday in November was selected on the whole as the day most appropriate."
This didn't actually become, however, an annual fixed day until President Lincoln issued his Presidential proclamation in 1863. Before that he had asked for "public prayer, humiliation and fasting" at different times throughout the year, but the Thanksgiving festival has been observed nationally ever since 1863.
It is good, I think, to have one day on which to count our blessings and to rejoice in the good things that have come to our land and to us as citizens of this land. Let us hope that we will always have as much to be thankful for as we have on this Thanksgiving Day of 1955.

General Pet Stores
"Small shop specializing in raw food for your cat or dog. We stop in every other day for a pocketful of the bulk treats. You can also find all sorts of accessories and my favorite, the Bling Blinker - a little strobe light that attaches to the collar and can be seen a long way off. Very handy for walking a solid black dog on a dark winter night!"
one of the best pet shops in town
The folks are very knowledgeable and friendly. They stock the best bulk treats and snacks. The foods they have are natural (good for me) and delicious (better for me!) I'm a super finicky eater, but they helped me find food that will keep me sprinting around Dolores Park and still get some weight to stick to my bones. Nom.
does anyone know where this food is made at or who makes it?
I know that jeffrey the owner died, unfortunately. so who owns the store, who makes the food, and where is it made? it doesnt look the same or keep the same as it used to. the staff is different too, so i cant really get answers. does anyone out there know I'm concerned about the quality. anyone who knows anything let me know. thanks!

Though the place isn't big, there seems to be a little of everything in there. The first thing hubby noticed was the soccer jackets. He went through the pile and found an Italia one. Since we're going to North Beach later that day, he thought it would be great having Sophie in it. Other than the jacket, we also got a frisbee. There are some really cute water and food bowls as well as tons of treats. It's a nice little store.

Anti-Hot Rods
OK, we've had fun with the best muscle car, let's turn it on its head and list the frumpiest, least-hip, slowest, ugliest rides we know.
Here's my candidate:
1961 Rambler American 4-door
170 c.i. six (last flathead made)
13" steelies w/ blackwalls and tiny hubcaps
vacuum windshield wipers that stop when you step on the gas, great for entering freeways in a downpour
chic twotone Crest toothpaste green-on-creme paint, rust optional
driven by an elderly man who looks like he belongs in an ad for laxatives, with a fedora hat centered exactly on his head, exactly 18mph (23 mph on freeways)
Today's Pontiac Aztec! Who let that dog out?
lets see. Ford Pinto, Chevy Chevette, Ford Mustang II, AMC Pacer, AMC Gremlin, Dodge Omni, several more I can`t recall,, and almost any new vehicle that looks like it`s a space ship instead of a car, which narrows it down to almost all of them. But honestly, I`d like to have a Gremlin, they were Ugly, but gotta love how they act when you stuff a 400 small block Chevy under the hood.
My vote would have to be a Hyundai Excel. A friend of mine gave me one about a year ago, 2 door hatchback. It had whopping 83 cubic inch engine with around 50 H.P. Top speed of around 40 mph on a good day. I kept it about 2 weeks and drove it to a wrecking yard and sold it to the owner for $20.
My vote, my best friend had a VW Bus in high school. It was booger green with flower curtains. Once we tried to get a 0-60 time, let's put it this way - after 9 minutes we gave up at 52 mph.
AMC Pacer wagon with the rare fake "woody" option. Nothing like fake vinyl wood siding on a car. Seen one once that had a set of Keystone mags and some N50's out back, can't for the life of me figure out how he intended to spin the tires?
1961 Plymouth Valiant. Neighbor had one when I was growing up. Definately not a Cool car. http://autohobbypage.com/show/00/mpr/mpr278.jpg
[ December 08, 2002: Message edited by: Kevin45 ]

I think that new chevy truck thing is the ugliest.You know the one were they convert from a truck to an SUV.Actually any of these new SUVs are ugly.And they get worse with every one that comes out.
4Jaw. I have had both a VW bus (5 blown engines in two years) and an AMC Pacer (3-cord tree branch fell on it in addition to the silver vinyl top turning chocolate brown, the exhaust maniflod cracking, etc., etc.). Other dogs I have owned include K-car wagon, Volare wagon, need I go on?
Hey Willy, did you have your name written in those sticky back slanted gold house letters stuck to the dash? The Pacer I mentioned above had just that. He was a true hotrodder...
Too funny. :D
Floor mats with "Golden red dreamer angel baby" embroidered on would have been a nice addition to that car. :p
The ugliest car I ever owned was a 4dr 77 Chevette, second would be my Jetta! ;)
I once had a yellow AMC Gremlin wagon with wood grain siding and optional rotted out tailgate.
The bonus was the "Thank you for not laughing at my car" bumper sticker.
Ahh the good ole' days.

They were available with a 304 V-8 in 1978. And there have been other V-8 swaps.

No but this Pacer was a special limited edition. Actually, it was a very nice looking car, silver paint, custom tapestry upholstry, custom trim package, custom aluminum wheels I have never seen B4 or since. Only problem with the car is that it was made by AMC!

kilchsgray should be shot! The Rambler American was a wonderful car. The old 6 banger was 195.6 in. It was reliable and economical. (Available until 65) IMHO, the Packards built after the Studebaker merger were ugly as can be, and pretty much anything designed using a computer is lame. Designs worked out in clay had character.

As I have said many times before now, deank's multiMAN usually pretty much hogs all of the spotlight when it comes to getting your favorite homebrew and backups loaded from whatever device you choose. However if there is any possible alternative to that, Estwald's Iris Manager is probably it. With it's simple interface and reliance on cover flow images, it certainly has a lot to love visually. Some users even report that games that do not load on multiMAN just might also work when tried with Iris Manager as well, so there is certainly a market for this one.
When it comes to 1.49.1 you'll have to forgive me if I don't outline all of the features correctly due to the obvious language barrier. That being said, it looks as though this update offers several fixes to make sure that your console does not burn out while playing games for too long. For example, after sixty minutes of no activity in play, your PS3 will shut off. If the machine gets too hot, you will also see a similar reaction. In terms of booting the games you love, libfs.sprx is now fully supported which when patched correctly should allow for more games to be mounted using the BD-emu. Finally, there is a new option in tools to "Copy from / dev_usb / Iris to Iris folder" which will allow data transfer from multiMAN to Iris to happen easier.
As I said, the changelog is a tough read, so you may want to see more at the source!

BeschreibungStuart Lancaster is 21 years old and a brilliant young batting prospect on the verge of a call up to the full England side. The Australians are touring at the start of another Ashes summer and by playing in the early season county game for Sussex, Stuart knows that this could be his best opportunity to make a real impression. But life's not so straight forward and the personal tragedy he's experienced in the last six months returns to haunt him and he's forced to address some uncomfortable family truths from the past. From the comparative calm of the County Ground in Hove to the frenetic majesty of Lords, Stuart endures a desperate ten days as he tries to balance the excitement of a potential England debut with the vicious threats of a mad man demanding retribution. And finally he has to decide whether he's prepared to commit cricket's ultimate crime.

The Carolina Hurricanes released a sobering piece of news this morning [1]following Scott Walker's tumultuous series against the Boston Bruins that saw him sucker-punch Aaron Ward in Game 5 and then pot the OT game-winner in Game 7. Walker's wife, Julie, has cervical cancer, but the disease is treatable and she is expected to make a full recovery. Walker learned of his wife's diagnosis during the seven-game series against the B's. "My wife is an amazing person and we are looking forward to a positive outcome from this challenge," said Walker on Saturday afternoon. "I will address the situation with the media, but my family would appreciate its privacy going forward."

Originally posted on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 1/10/13
It appears the Yankees are backing off free-agent outfielder Scott Hairston, and the buzz from the Phillies has trickled to a halt as well. If the the New York Mets are willing to give Hairston the two year deal he craves, he'll most likely be in the Mets Opening Day lineup. Hairston, 32, continues to hold out for a multi-year deal even though his agent said he was with days of reaching an accord on Monday. The other sticking point is that Hairston wants a starting role and no team views him that way. But the Mets can be the one team that can give him the most playing time by virtue of how weak their current outfield array is – made up mostly of Quad-A players and utility types. It's well know that Hairston's greatest asset is his ability to mash lefthanded pitching. His OPS is almost 100 points higher against southpaws than righties over his career. The Mets can certainly use his bat. On Saturday, in his weekly mailbag post for Mets.com, Anthony DiComo took the following question a...

Hi all -
I recently adopted my father's 8-year-old yellow lab. He's great, but has some odd habits. In the evenings when we're just lounging around and he's on the floor, he constantly licks his lips! It's very loud and he can't seem to stop. When he was still living with my dad, I thought we had it narrowed down to smoke allergies (strange, I know), but now that concept is down the tubes because no one in my house smokes. We've also switched him from the junk food my dad was giving him to a natural/holistic brand. Anyone ever see this before???

On September 27-28, green leaders and innovators from California's schools and community colleges will meet at the Pasadena Convention Center for the 2012 Green California Schools and Community Colleges Summits. Keynote presentations, education sessions, an awards ceremony and countless conversations and connections between colleagues will all provide opportunities to take stock of what's working in facilities and curriculum and to gather needed resources for the coming year.
The Summits are designed to celebrate and support the vital role that these institutions play in the sustainability movement. No matter what policies, strategies, technologies or mandates are devised to lead us to a green future, their success or failure depends on a single factor: people. For this reason, schools have unequalled potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, change consumer behavior, speed adoption of renewable energy and build determination to conserve non-renewable resources.
The education programs for the schools and colleges events address the wide range of ways that these institutions are engaged in creating a culture of sustainability, from building facilities that provide learning opportunities through their design and efficiency to the implementation of standards-based curriculum that promotes environmental literacy.
In-Depth Training
On September 28, the colleges program will devote three successive sessions to the DEEP (Developing Energy Efficiency Professionals) Program, which provides community college students with paid internships in which they work collaboratively on efficiency projects with facilities staff. DEEP has been piloted successfully on three campuses and there is a desire for it to spread rapidly to more. The sessions will be led by Deeptika Patel, Principal of the DEEP Program and include presenters each of the pilot campuses.
A special day-long Green Curriculum Institute, also on September 28, will focus on California's groundbreaking K-12 environmental literacy curriculum, the Education and the Environment Initiative. Organized by staff at the Office of Education and the Environment of the California Department of Resources Recovery and Recycling (CalRecycle). The EEI materials include 85 individual units that are aligned to more than 100 selected Science and History-Social Science academic content standards, while supporting English Language Arts standards for Kindergarten through 12th grade. The institute will give participants a chance to learn how this new resource is being used in classrooms, and will include breakout sessions focused on grade-specific strategies.
Concurrent Sessions
Over the two days, 36 sessions will address essential topics, ranging from water and energy conservation to curriculum, funding, building strategies and green workforce development. (All sessions offer continuing education credits from the International Code Council, the Construction Management Associtation of America and Build it Green.) Some examples:
Architect and author Eric Corey Freed, a engaging speaker who regularly headlines green events, will offer a provocative session with the title "Dodo-Sapiens: Why we need regenerative, bio-based schools."
"Seemingly harmless decisions about our buildings made decades ago are throwing all of our natural systems into decline," he says. "While every other technology has made vast improvements (cell phones, computers, automobiles), our buildings have remained largely unchanged." He promises "specific, bold, new ideas for transforming our cities and suburbs into regenerative and restorative places."
The cutting edge of energy policy is heading toward "zero net" buildings, structures that generate as much power as they use. State Architect Chester "Chet" Widom will be on hand for the session "Moving from A to Z(ero) Net," discussing the strategies and planning steps that schools and colleges can take now in anticipation of a 2025 zero net target for their facilities.
FUSION (Facilities Utilization, Space Inventory Options Net) is a database of 71-million square feet of California community college facilities that tracks the condition assessments and develops cost modeling for maintenance projects, enabling colleges to plan budgets and help facilitate the passing of much-needed bond measures. Data from the 5,000 buildings of the system is accessible through FUSION, a web-based interface connected to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) overlaid with energy data, devices, sensors and controls. This "real-time" information offers colleges unprecedented capabilities for benchmarking, sharing best energy management practices and accessing utility incentives. Project leaders who developed the system and its software will be at the Summit to help campus staff discover how to take advantage of its power.
A new initiative from the U.S. Department of Education, the Green Ribbon Schools award program, has been designed to provide comprehensive framework that integrates green buildings, green operations, and green curricula with the inspiring goals of net zero environmental impacts, healthy learning environments, and environmental literacy.
Kathleen Moore, Director of the School Facilities and Transportation Services Division of the California Department of Education, will be part of a panel that discusses how the program will operate in California in 2012-2013.
Community colleges play an essential role in helping both students and existing members of the workforce gain the skills they need to access jobs in the emerging green economy. The colleges program includes numerous sessions focused on successful efforts to match training to current workforce needs, from advanced transportation technology and systems to "non-traditional" careers available to women in the building trades.
Expo and Keynotes
The Summit also includes an Expo that offers attendees the chance to discover the latest offerings from scores of companies with green products and services, from energy, design and building solutions to curriculum and waste management.
The keynote session on the morning of September 27 will feature environmentalist Kelly Meyer, a Trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council, co-founder of the American Heart Association's "Teaching Gardens" program and co-founder of the Women's Cancer Research Fund, and outspoken supporter of public education. She will be joined by State Architect Chester "Chet" Widom and Henry A.J. Ramos of the California Community Colleges Board of Governors, who has emerged as a sustainability leader in the system.
A 4:00 pm reception on September 27 will feature the presentation of the 2012 Leadership Awards from the Summits, celebrating achievements by instructors, campuses and school and college districts.
For more about the Summits, visit www.green-technology.org. Online registration is available by clicking here. Registration for the keynotes, Expo and Leadership Awards reception are free. Special sessions on fuel cell technology and utility-sponsored energy efficiency programs will also be available at no charge.
For registration questions, call 626.577.5700.
