Katy Perry, Russell Brand 'Torn Apart' By Distance?
"KATY & RUSSELL: The honeymoon's over!" blares a headline from In Touch, which goes on to claim Katy Perry and Russell Brand are having marital problems just six months after tying the knot. According to the tabloid, the couple is "being torn apart by jealousy and distance." How so?
The magazine notes that while Perry and Brand make it a priority to visit each other when their careers demand they be apart, their efforts "aren't proving to be enough." "The travel is totally exhausting," explains a so-called source for the magazine, adding, "It takes the fun out of seeing each other. They're both so stressed out and tired and they hardly have time to be together."
Also driving a wedge between the two, says In Touch, is the "E.T." singer's partying. Brand, a recovering addict, is supposedly jealous that his wife "drinks and smokes when he's not around… It's a sore spot." However, despite the allegations, the couple is doing just fine.
A source close to Brand tells Gossip Cop that In Touch's assertions are not true. Actually, Brand himself recently mentioned that he was able to identify with his Arthur character (a drunken playboy turned doting husband) because he, too, was saved by love. "It's such an incredible intervention in my life," he said of his marriage to Perry. And just yesterday, she tweeted at her hubby, "I can't wait to see you… As #ARTHUR! hope it's all going amazing!" Seems the honeymoon is far from over.

At the beginning, the idea behind Node.js seemed ludicrous. Who'd want to trade all the wonderful abstraction and programmer-liberating freedom of the thread model for all the drudgery of making sure your code can't deadlock? Who would want to try to keep nesting methods inside of methods inside of other methods just because that's how JavaScript loves to toss them around? Programmers may debate these issues for years to come, but Node.js will continue to gain converts as long as it offers fast performance and a friendly syntax for everyone who grew up programming JavaScript.

Reviewed By Pennie W (Lakehurst, NJ) Reviewed for a 2015 Toyota Tacoma —8/4/2015 5:05 AM
I have a 2015 Toyota Tacoma access cab and even Toyota didn't have this product for me. I am only using the one rack for my kayak because I have a T-bar for the rear hitch. I had a live char with Tre F before I bought the product and he told exactly which Rhino Rack I need. This product is worth the money. The THULE is overpriced and over rated. I only reason I rated it a 4 is because it does have a little noise but fairings would stop that and it's not a big deal. Turn the radio up.

Hey, I've been a swiftie since 2009, and I'll never stop loving Taylor.
I'm sixteen years old, and I play guitar and piano (because of Taylor). I am also a fan of Demi Lovato, 5SOS and Lana Del Rey. I love reading books, and some of my favorites are Divergent, Paper Towns and Fangirl. I'm also a vegetarian, something I've been in 4 years now.
Taylor's new perfume will be out in June, I can't wait to smell it! This is how it looks like: I already have Wonderstruck, but not Wonderstruck Enchanted, so I think I should hurry up and buy Wonderstruck Enchanted. What about you? Which perfumes do you have? Do you think "Taylor" will smell good? And what do you think about the name "Taylor" to the perfume? I Love it. Can't wait.

Why do I hike? I was wondering that Monday as I was bypassing snow nearing the 14,232-foot summit of White Mountain, California's third highest peak.
Doug Lemcke tried to scam me on Thursday.
Facts don't matter. Police are guilty until proven innocent - or even if proven innocent. The Black Lives Matter crusade, born after Florida vigilante George Zimmerman shot unarmed teen Trayvon Martin in 2012, turned to police shootings of black men after the death of Michael Brown, 18, in 2014. It doesn't matter that the U.S. Department of Justice essentially cleared Ferguson, Mo., police officer Darren Wilson, who said he shot Brown in self-defense. Facts cannot dent the popular narrative of white cops shooting black men because police are racists.
You've heard the pitch.
I feel so much safer knowing that California will soon be doing background checks on those who buy ammunition.
There is an epidemic going on in the United States that leaves no community unaffected, and unfortunately, the Obama Administration is either unaware of its severity or has chosen to ignore the systemic wounds it has inflicted on our society. The conversation about the need for mental health reform, for a national campaign to end the stigma surrounding mental illness, to promote mental wellbeing as vitally important as physical wellbeing, has been just that – a conversation – for too long.
Down in the valley - Manteca, Modesto, Hanford, Bakersfield, Fresno, Stockton, Turlock, and virtually every other community - is where the proverbial rubber hits the road in terms of immigration whether it is legal or otherwise.
It was a Saturday morning ritual for way too many years.

I LOVE this color!May 15, 2013
Swarovski butterflies are very special in bracelets and necklaces (and earrings for that matter). I tried this color because, well, it looked really appealing from the picture. It is even BETTER in person! These little butterflies are so shiny, so perfect. I will get these again, and love working with them.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
With their second No. 1 overall pick in as many years, the Washington Nationals selected Bryce Harper, the latest possessor of one of sports' most prematurely dubious distinctions: The Chosen One. The Harper pick comes on the heels of Washington's selection of baseball's former Chosen One, Stephen Strasburg.
In the past year, the ubiquitous NFL Draft moved to prime time television and further expanded to run the course of several days. Yesterday, the Major League Baseball Draft happened and you may not have noticed. Unlike it's pigskin pal, the MLB Draft comes and goes with little pomp and even less pageantry. But after two behemoth number one selections in consecutive years, the MLB draft is finally gaining a spike in awareness as the Washington Nationals are not-so-quietly stocking their war chest. The Nats have added two can't-miss kids in as many years, and Strasburg is already becoming a veritable star (See: 14 strikeouts in his major league debut against the Pirates on Tuesday). With seemingly insurmountable hype, can Harper follow suit?
Unlike Strasburg, a late bloomer who went undrafted out of High School, all eyes have been on Harper since before he even reached High School. His tale is a tall one, not unlike Paul Bunyan, only most of it is true. A Sports Illustrated profile from a year ago opened with an account of measuring a 570-foot home run that he belted as a 15-year-old. At 16, Harper launched the longest home run in the history of Tropicana Field, a place that hosts the likes of David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez roughly ten times a year. The shot traveled an estimated 502 feet, but witnesses maintain it would have traveled farther had it not hit the back wall of the stadium. He's been known to pick runners off from his knees behind the plate, reach the high 90's on the radar gun as a pitcher, and launch rocket throws from the outfield, a position he will transition to from catcher in the pros.
In 2008, Harper had a .599 batting average with 11 home runs and 67 RBIs in 38 games for Las Vegas High School. He followed that up with a .626 batting average, 14 home runs and 55 RBIs the next season. He received his GED in December of 2009 for the sole purpose of turning pro as early as possible. High school pitchers had long stopped giving him anything to hit anyway.
Last winter he enrolled in Junior College, playing ball at the College of Southern Nevada. As a member of the Scenic West Athletic Conference, a wooden bat only league, Harper shattered every JuCo record imaginable. He hit 31 home runs, 98 RBI, while hitting .443/.526/.987 (AVG/OBP/SLG). His home run total destroyed the school's previous record of 12, set with metal bats. He did it in 66 games, a fraction of an MLB season. In an understatement, he was named SWAC Player of the Year.
Leading his team to Western district finals, Bryce Harper continued to add to his legend, but for the first time, gave scouts something to worry about. His amateur career ended under suspension after he was ejected for the second time in the season after gesturing toward an umpire. Leading up to the controversial ejection, Harper was hitting at a torrid pace. In the Western district finals of the 2010 NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) World Series, Harper went 6-for-7 with 5 RBIs. Adding style points, he also hit for the cycle. In a double-header the next day he went 2-for-5 with a 3 RBIs in the first game, and in the second game went 6-for-6 with 4 home runs, a triple, and a double. Read those numbers again. Hitting with that frequency would be impressive for batting practice. Though his post season success seemed to all but guarantee a No. 1 selection, his suspension controversy still loomed.
Like everything with Harper, it was largely overblown, but the incident got enough attention for some to start whispering. For the many young athletes who find themselves in the driver's seat on their journey to become the Next Best Thing, few actually make it there. It gets very difficult for potential suitors to measure what differentiates the failures from the successes. Something as simple as bad behavior could be enough to scare them away, but again, this is a 17-year-old we are talking about.
Consider the facts in each of his ejections. In the first, he was tossed for taunting the opponent. In his second, replay shows that he flicked dirt with his bat in the direction of the umpire after getting called out on strikes. Nobody knows what he said, but he did not linger and went back to the dugout. It was barely a scene. He has also been criticized for taking a bow after launching a great throw from the outfield. In fact, his behavior is something that could probably be captured on an MLB diamond on any given night.
When asked about the mini-controversy, Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said:
"There is no concern about this player's makeup. We are sold on him, the family and the character of the player. He acts like a 17-year-old at times. I don't want to tell you about when I was 17. He is mature beyond his years as far as performance on the field, tools development and even his social skills."
Rizzo continued to discuss the unparalleled pressure placed on Harper and defended his draft pick while dismissing what will hopefully be the last of any controversy with his potential superstar.
Obviously, time will tell. Think of some of the Can't Miss Kids of years past. Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James lived up to and surpassed their great hype. Others like Todd Van Poppel and Greg Oden were less fortunate. We usually lean toward success with these prospects only because their previous performance has shown us nothing but success, after all, it's what got them here in the first place.
While baseball is as mental game as there is, hitting a baseball is a unique talent. Where pitchers such as Strasburg have to combine talent with equal parts thinking and strategy, all Harper has to do is hit. Washington plans to immediately move him from catcher to outfield in order to increase his offensive development. At the root, hitting a baseball is about being able to see it. A player's physical gifts dictate how far it will go. At 6'3″ and 205 pounds, Harper clearly has the size, his frequent success at the plate shows his vision is sharp, too. His only fault thus far (the suspension) seems to be a small one. Daryl Strawberry was a teenage phenom who started hot and succumbed to the excesses of stardom. Ken Griffey Jr., a 19-year-old rookie, will be in the Hall of Fame.
So where does Bryce Harper fit into all of this? Probably somewhere in the middle. Either way, he is good for sports and good for the resurgent DC sports scene. In Strasburg, Harper will find a teammate who knows exactly what the young player is going through. Their similarly hyped arrivals should motivate them toward friendly competition and provide a common ground most others cannot relate to. As Sports Illustrated noted, this is the equivalent of drafting LeBron James and Dwight Howard to the same team in consecutive years.
There isn't a GM in the world who wouldn't love that comparison.

May 24, 2006 - The Oro Valley Town Council election took a tumultuous turn last weekend when Councilwoman Paula Abbott gained enough votes from provisional ballots to edge out Don Cox for the third of three open seats in last week's town council election, Pima County Division of Elections reported.
The final unofficial and unaudited vote count posted May 20 showed Abbott ahead of Cox by just three votes. This puts the results within the 10-vote margin for a mandatory recount under state law.
Six candidates competed for three council seats in the May 17 election. The first two seats went to first and second place finishers KC Carter and Al Kunisch.
Vote-count results from the Oro Valley election had previously reported on May 18 that Cox had wrested the third council seat from Abbott, an incumbent, by just 18 votes.
However, election officials had not yet counted hundreds of provisional ballots and thousands of early ballots cast by voters across Pima County. Provisional ballots were cast when a voter voted at the wrong polling location, provided inadequate identification, or needed to have his or her residency within the county or Oro Valley verified, said Brad Nelson, Pima County elections director.
As of May 22, Abbott received 3,430 votes to Cox's 3,427. This puts them in third and fourth place, respectively. Finishing distantly behind them are Kathy Pastryk in fifth place and incumbent Conny Culver in sixth place.
The election was undoubtedly one of the tightest in Oro Valley history. The final unofficial results put second-place finisher Al Kunisch only 15 votes ahead of Abbott and only 27 votes behind Carter.
Cox said he was shocked by the final results when he saw them a 5 a.m. last Sunday.
"I'm obviously very disappointed," Cox said. "I was surprised she was able to overtake the lead I had built. I thought it might have gotten a little closer, but I didn't think it would change."
Still, Cox remains hopeful that he'll find some luck in the upcoming recount.
"As much as it changed in that last count, maybe it will change again," Cox said.
Town Clerk Kathy Cuvelier said the town council will canvass the vote on Thursday and also adopt a resolution allowing her to request the recount from a Pima County Superior Court Judge May 26.
"We're going to ask that the recount take place on the Tuesday after Memorial Day," Cuvelier said, meaning May 30. "After that, we'll ask a judge to certify the result the following Thursday."
Cuvelier added that the town had planned to have all this completed before June 7 so the elected and re-elected councilmembers can be sworn in at a council meeting on that date, as scheduled.
Nelson said the ballots from Oro Valley would be run through a machine once again for the recount.
"Recounts are judicial actions and are always under the full supervision of Pima County Superior Court," Nelson said.
Councilwoman Conny Culver said she is disappointed that Abbott was able to overtake Cox.
"I don't always agree with Don, but he's dedicated and dependable," Culver said. "Don would attend meetings and study sessions, and he would respond to the town as a whole and not just a select group."
As far as losing her own council seat, Culver said she would have liked to remain active in town government but won't miss the workload.
Councilman Barry Gillaspie said he didn't expect that a member of the council would be elected by such a slim margin.
"I was surprised at the closeness of the vote, and I thought turnout was fairly low," Gillaspie said.
However, Gillaspie said he welcomes Al Kunisch as a new councilmember as well as Carter and Abbott.
Carter said he has worked closely with Abbott in the past, but he mostly wants the election to be decided as quickly as possible.
John Ellinwood, president of the Oro Valley Republican Club, which endorsed Al Kunisch, Don Cox and Conny Culver for the town council, said the club had hoped to get more of its candidates on the council but is happy Kunisch will be a councilmember.
"Some people were disappointed (that Abbott got more votes than Cox), but it's a wake-up call that every vote counts," Ellinwood said. "We're happy that we got Al elected. He has a realistic vision of how to manage growth in Oro Valley."
Art Segal, an Oro Valley resident and treasurer of the now-defunct SOVOG, a political committee opposed to tax incentives for developers, said he is happy to see Abbott edge out Cox in the final unofficial election results.
"I feel the more people on the council we have that are of Abbott and Carter's mindset, the better off we will be as a town. They are the only ones who aren't indebted to anyone," Segal said.

The Packers were 2-3 and in trouble. The Bears were 4-1 and looking like a true Super Bowl contender.
Ten weeks later, with Green Bay's 21-13 victory at Soldier Field, the Packers are NFC North champions and the Bears are skittering out of the playoff picture.
Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes to James Jones and the defense prevented Jay Cutler and the Bears from converting a single third-down play. Chicago's last gasp drive, which started with 56 seconds to go from the 3-yard line on Tim Masthay's punt, went nowhere.
The third of Jones' touchdowns came on the first drive of the second half, a 7-minute march. Rodgers converted a fourth-and-6 with a 10-yard completion to Randall Cobb, and the Packers converted third-and-13 from the 16 on pass interference in the end zone on a fade to Jermichael Finley. After delay of game, Rodgers threw a back-shoulder pass to Jones against Charles Tillman for a 6-yard touchdown.
Then, it was the defense's turn. The Bears got 53 yards when Morgan Burnett interfered with Alshon Jeffrey on a deep ball, giving Chicago the ball at the 5. After Matt Forte ran for 4, he was stopped by Brad Jones and A.J. Hawk for no gain. On fourth-and-goal, Cutler connected with Jeffrey for a touchdown, but Jeffrey used two hands to push off on Sam Shields and was called for interference. The Bears settled for a field goal that made it 21-10 with 12 seconds to go in the third quarter.
The Packers were driving toward the clinching score on the ensuing possession before Josh Sitton was flagged for holding. Rather than go for it on fourth-and-1, coach Mike McCarthy sent out Mason Crosby, who clanged his 42-yard attempt off the left upright for his second miss of the game.
Green Bay forced a three-and-out punt, thanks to Clay Matthews' second-down sack, but the Packers took the Bears off life support with a bungled trick play. Cobb fielded the punt and threw the ball across the field to Jeremy Ross, who dropped the lateral and failed to pounce on the loose ball. Anthony Walters recovered at the 16.
The Packers' defense delivered again, however, with Chicago moving the ball about a foot and having to settle for a field goal that cut the margin to 21-13 with 7:04 remaining.
Green Bay's defense needed to make another stop, with Devin Hester's 17-yard punt return setting up the Bears at their 33 with 3:47 to go. On third-and-10 from the 44, Cutler hit Jeffrey for 41 yards but Jeffrey was flagged for his third offensive pass interference. On fourth-and-9, Cutler's deep ball to Jeffrey was broken up by Shields.
Green Bay led 14-7 at halftime, with Rodgers and the passing game shrugging off a slow start of suspect protection, off-target passing and a few dropped passes to recover from a 7-0 deficit.
Starting at the 11 after Chicago's opening touchdown, Rodgers connected with Greg Jennings for a quick-hitting 19 yard gain, then threw a remarkable pass to Cobb on third-and-6, with Cobb making a twisting, tumbling, 31-yard gain against triple coverage. On third-and-4, Jones ran past Kelvin Hayden – who was starting at corner for NFL interceptions leader Tim Jennings – for a 29-yard touchdown up the right sideline.
After an exchange of punts, Cutler threw an interception right to Casey Hayward, which set up the Packers' at Chicago's 26 with 1:25 until halftime. Rodgers went to work on D.J. Moore for the touchdown, first with a 13-yard completion to Cobb on third-and-7 and then on an 8-yard touchdown to Jones.
The Bears struck first – their first lead since midway through the 2010 regular-season finale – on Cutler's 15-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall. Marshall caught the ball at the 10 against Brad Jones. Jones missed the tackle, and Marshall stiff-armed Casey Hayward to the turf.
Green Bay blew two chances to take an early lead. Cobb dropped an easy 25-yard touchdown catch on third-and-6. Lined up stacked behind tight end Jermichael Finley, Cobb got behind Moore but flubbed a perfect ball at about the 5. Then, Crosby wasn't even close from 43 yards, with the kick starting right and drifting even further.

Most people had given up on there being a larger version of the HTC One M8, then referred to as the HTC One M8 Prime. But, fortunately for those who hadn't given up hope some of the hardware specs have leaked for what is being referred to as the HTC One M8 Max — HTC's phablet based on the wildly successful One M8 handset.
All we know for now is that the device is supposed to come in the aluminium casing we've come to expect from HTC, with a Snapdragon 805 processor and a 5.5-inch screen which puts it firmly into the phablet territory. It's also a nice step up from the original HTC One Max which only had a Snapdragon 600 processor.
For now this is all totally unconfirmed, so don't go getting all excited just yet. However, if it is real we'll likely be hearing more about it in the coming months, plus it would be nice to have an HTC One phablet wouldn't it? [UberGizmo]

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi, did the edinburgh half marathon on sunday and did it a bit slower than the jedburgh half which i did about 4 years ago when i was a stone lighter.
How much difference is carrying an extra stone going to make to my racing speed ? Is it going to slow me up by minutes or seconds ?
Mrs O
I think they say it's something like 3 seconds per mile per lb of extra weight...but I might be wrong, so best check that. If so, and everything else is the same, you'd be about 9 minutes slower, I guess. I expect if the two routes are very different, that may also be a factor in your time. Also, the weather on the day etc....
9 minutes for a stone in weight over a half marathon, that sounds like a lot, could be the inspiration i need to lose the babyfat as have been having real trouble getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight and baby is 17 months old now !!!! So by that reckoning i would have done edinburgh half in 2.05.42 and would have beaten my jedburgh time, pre-pregnancy by 2 mins.
Both courses pretty flat, jedburgh had a wee hill and edinburgh had a bit more wind, so they would probably be similar, also didn't train as well for edinburgh as i had a few colds since christmas (get lots of bugs from darling baby daughter now she is at nursery), so maybe if i had trained better and not had the extra stone i might have shaved off another minute or two !!
Yup... thanks to injury I'm a stone heavier than I should be (just under 10st rather than just under 9st) and it makes a massive difference. Not just to race times (my estimate based on my times its probably an extra 2 minutes on a 5k, an extra 4mins on a 10k and the extra 9 mins on a Half is probably not far off...) - but it also makes a difference to how my joints feel in terms of the impact... Lighter running is much more pleasant... but it's slowly shifting...
Having just shed half a stone, I was about to start a thread asking about the weight/speed thing.
Thanks for starting the thread Mrs O and the info Candy.
using this page i could have shaved off 8mins 19sec if i was a stone lighter
Surely it depends on what the weight is made up of i.e. is it fat or muscle? If the weight gain is due to increased muscle then this may in fact make you quicker, especially if the muscle is in your legs! Look at Gordon Ramsey...15 stone but does sub 3:30 marathons!
I can plod a 10 mile in 1hr40mins, faster if I feel like it. I recently ran home from work with a rucksack. The 10.5 mile run took me 2hrs 17mins! I weighed the rucksack when I got home and found it to be 11lb.
I'd say that if the weight was dead (not muscle) then it would slow you down.
The thought of being under weight - Oh like that is ever likely to happen to me.
Okay I understand how to lose a stone in weight. Eat less, move more - so why is it sooooo hard?
So to break 2:00 hours in the marathon I need to lose
4.30 @ 203lbs
18 minutes per stone (over a mara) = 116 lbs
No problem there then.
Interesting stuff. I've only got into running in the last couple of years after years of weight training and football. I'm too heavily built to be a serious runner and recon I'm carrying about 10kg of unnecessary muscle on my arms, shoulders and chest (for vanity if I'm being honest)
I've done a 77min half and I'm targeting sub 2:45 on my first crack at the FLM but this has made me wonder what my absolute limits are. According to those formulas I could be looking at a circa 2:23 marathon if I quit the weights and shed 10Kg of upper body bulk!! Surely that can't hold true can it?
Biscuit tin... did someone mention a biscuit tin... now I have a story abouts biscuits...
I was on a course with a broad bunch of people from my company and I happened to mention I need to stay away from the biscuits at break time. One guy piped up and said that he used to work in biscuit factory and hasn't eaten biscuits since. I asked why, apparently floor sweepings, spit and nasal waste went into the vats. Quite flippantly I said urrgghhh I'll stick to the digestives then (I hope I don't get libelled for this) but he said that he worked for McVities. After a bit more of a chat apparently the practise is quite common even amongst the higher quality designer biscuit manufcaturers.
Now tell me you've just gone off the 3 bourbons you were planning to dunk with your next cup of tea!
No sorry but I used to work for an IT company that was right next door to the Bournville site in Birmingham. Some mornings I'd park up and could smell hot chocolate in the air. It was actually quite sickly.
ah nevermind, willpower shall prevail until the easter eggs have disappeared from my house.

|st: updates to various packages on SSC
|Thu, 27 Mar 2003 19:32:18 -0000
Thanks to Kit Baum, various packages on SSC have been updated as follows: -ciplot- plots of confidence intervals ====================================== Requires Stata 8. Small bug fix and improvements. -levels- distinct levels of integer or string variable ====================================================== Updated to Stata 8. The main change is that hitherto leading blanks in string values were stripped as a consequence of the behaviour illustrated by this example: . set obs 1 obs was 0, now 1 . gen str37 foo = " stuff with leading blanks" . local fooone = foo[1] . di "|`fooone'|" |stuff with leading blanks| This is now fixed by using the new feature illustrated by local fooone "`= foo[1]'" As said, -levels- now requires Stata 8. A version for Stata 7 remains accessible as -levels7- in the same package. -ovfplot- plots of observed vs fitted ===================================== Updated to Stata 8. A version for Stata 7 remains accessible as -ovfplot7- in the same package. -regplot- plots of regression fit ================================= Requires Stata 8. Some small fixes. A version for Stata 7 remains accessible as -regplot7- in the same package. Use -ssc- to install any package of use or interest to you.

What is Prescribing information?
The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.
Colestid FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
The most common adverse reactions are confined to the gastrointestinal tract. To achieve minimal GI disturbance with an optimal LDL-C lowering effect, a gradual increase of dosage starting with 2 grams, once or twice daily is recommended. Constipation is the major single complaint and at times is severe. Most instances of constipation are mild, transient, and controlled with standard treatment. Increased fluid intake and inclusion of additional dietary fiber should be the first step; a stool softener may be added if needed. Some patients require decreased dosage or discontinuation of therapy. Hemorrhoids may be aggravated.
Other, less frequent gastrointestinal complaints consist of abdominal discomfort (abdominal pain and cramping), intestinal gas (bloating and flatulence), indigestion and heartburn, diarrhea and loose stools, and nausea and vomiting. Bleeding hemorrhoids and blood in the stool have been infrequently reported. Peptic ulceration, cholecystitis, and cholelithiasis have been rarely reported in patients receiving colestipol hydrochloride granules, and are not necessarily drug related.
Difficulty swallowing and transient esophageal obstruction have been rarely reported in patients taking COLESTID Tablets.
Transient and modest elevations of aspartate aminotransferase (AST, SGOT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT, SGPT) and alkaline phosphatase were observed on one or more occasions in various patients treated with colestipol hydrochloride.
The following nongastrointestinal adverse reactions have been reported with generally equal frequency in patients receiving COLESTID Tablets, colestipol granules, or placebo in clinical studies:
Chest pain, angina, and tachycardia have been infrequently reported.
Rash has been infrequently reported. Urticaria and dermatitis have been rarely noted in patients receiving colestipol hydrochloride granules.
Musculoskeletal pain, aches and pains in the extremities, joint pain and arthritis, and backache have been reported.
Headache, migraine headache, and sinus headache have been reported. Other infrequently reported complaints include dizziness, light-headedness, and insomnia.
Anorexia, fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and swelling of the hands or feet, have been infrequently reported.

The terse, four-paragraph press statement issued by Labour Party president Moira Coatsworth did not say very much. But in not saying very much, it said it all.
The "man ban" which would have permitted women-only contests for the party's ticket in electorate seats was the work of activists in the wider party organisation which Coatsworth represents.
No wonder the tone of her statement accepting the withdrawal of the idea from debate at Labour's annual conference in November veered between the sheepish and the grudging.
The u-turn by the party's ruling council in which it agreed to David Shearer's "request" for the withdrawal amounts to a humiliation for the party's supreme body.
That is not solely because Shearer has given the party's rank-and-file a slap in the face. The council's political management of the "women-only shortlist" concept has not been so much woeful as utterly lacking.
The abandoning of the man ban is a victory for Shearer, but only of sorts. He needed to have the proposal consigned to the rubbish bin before being confronted by the parliamentary media as he headed into Labour's weekly caucus meeting yesterday. He also needed to have the matter resolved before the caucus meeting because of the strong feelings and sharply contrasting views among his MPs.
The biggest puzzle is why the council did not foresee that the man ban would leave Shearer with the impossible task of reconciling the party's push for guaranteed gender equality with what was widely seen to be the public's antipathy to political correctness.
From the instant he heard about the proposal, Shearer would have known which side of the argument he had to come down on. The party should have worked that out and made that easier for him to do.
The council's failure to do so until the last minute has underlined Shearer's lack of real influence within the party, a byproduct of his speedy rise to the top.
Shearer instead had to rely on the influence inherent in him being leader. Having now done so, he may feel empowered to do it more often.
He will definitely regret not doing it sooner. The story was allowed to rampage for far too long before being shut down - something Shearer should have done the moment it broke.
The delay will have cemented the assessments of those voters who see him as weak and indecisive, while persuading not a few more to start seeing him in similar vein.

By David Henry
While Wall Street grapples with the pain of the bear market, one of its new-fangled securities stands out as a winner. Cubes, as they are called, are trading in huge volumes averaging 65 million shares a day. Some days, volume spikes over 100 million shares. They trade more than any stock but Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO )
The shares, also known as Qs for their ticker symbol, QQQ, are issued by a trust that holds the stocks of the Nasdaq-100 index. First listed Mar. 10, 1999, on the American Stock Exchange, they trade throughout the day, unlike mutual funds. Their price moves almost tick for tick with the index. With 70% of the index in tech stocks, Cubes are the easiest way in and out of the sector. Some investors believe the strong volume is signaling a new bull market in tech. But that's wishful thinking. Cubes' popularity is rising because bears and bulls alike find them a useful trading tool.
"COUNTERINTUITIVE." Cubes' success stands out against the 61% loss the Nasdaq 100 has suffered since March, 2000. Historically, trading slows a few months after markets peak in price. But Cubes are trading twice as much as at the peak 16 months ago.
What is happening "is counterintuitive," acknowledges Amex President Peter Quick. People usually trade less after prices fall because they lose confidence in their ability to pick winners, says Meir Statman, a behavioral finance professor at Santa Clara University. The effect lingers. The 1987 stock market plunge depressed volume until 1992, two years after major indexes recovered.
To satisfy higher demand, the trust issues additional Cubes in exchange for stocks of the Nasdaq 100 companies. The QQQ trust had 532 million shares outstanding as of July 2, up from 134 million a year ago and a tiny 0.3 million when trading began. In 28 months of business, trust assets have grown to $24 billion.
Some say that individual investors are bullishly flocking to the Cubes. John L. Jacobs, Nasdaq's senior vice-president and administrator of the QQQ trust, notes that the trust sends out 2,250 prospectuses a day to investors who have bought for the first time. He adds that filings to the Securities & Exchange Commission by institutions indicate that individuals own 72% of Cubes. Says Jacobs: "This is a buy-and-hold product."
But Jacob's image of individual investors stashing away Cubes is off the mark. For one, at current trading volumes, the trust's outstanding shares change hands every eight days. "It is pure speculation when you're trading at that rate," says John C. Bogle, founder of Vanguard Group. Cisco shares turn over every 111 days. Institutions, not individual investors, dominate Cubes trading, say dealers who see the orders.
MICROSOFT PROXY. Trading by institutional investors suggests nothing about where tech stocks are headed. Some sell Cubes short to bet that tech stocks will go lower. Others sell them short to cut the risk of the tech stocks they're holding. And others buy Cubes to hedge against a broad tech rally while they short specific stocks.
"They've become a playground for professionals," says Steven C. Leuthold of Leuthold Weeden Capital Management. Take June 28. Traders piled into Cubes when trading in Microsoft Corp. (MSFT ) was halted after a court ruling. Microsoft shares account for 11% of the Nasdaq, and the betting was that when they resumed trading, the stock would jump, pushing up the price of the Cubes.
As Cubes trade more, institutions see more ways to use them. They have become so liquid that mutual-fund managers are increasingly substituting them for cash they keep on hand to meet redemptions, says Avi Nachmany, research director at Strategic Insight Mutual Fund Research & Consulting.
Cubes go a long way helping investors big and small trade tech stocks. Now, if only they would forecast a rally.
Henry covers the markets.

So you are an ordinary investor thinking about fixed interest investments. What should you do?
Adviser Charles Levett-Scrivener of Towry Law says: "In a low-inflation environment the percentage of your portfolio in fixed-interest should equal your age."
David Kauders of Kauders Portfolio Management is putting his clients' money into government bonds, UK medium-dated gilts and long-dated US Treasury ones.
Normally, he would not risk currency fluctuations that might harm the investments of his clients in Britain, but he says this is a relatively safe move now because "the pound is grossly overpriced compared to the dollar".
He is avoiding corporate bond funds, however: "There is a risk of choosing a company which defaults on that loan," says Kauders. "You can't tell which companies are going to default: even rating companies get it wrong all the time."
Colin Jackson of Baronworth says: "'Guaranteed Income Bonds (Gibs) are my favourite for taxpayers. But if you are a non-taxpayer, then building society bonds are better." You invest in a GIB for a particular period - usually between one and five years - and get a fixed income throughout that period as well as the full return of your capital. They are not suitable for non-taxpayers since the interest is paid net of basic rate tax.
Other advisers are promoting all sorts of other products. Chartwell Direct has just published a free guide The Chartwell Guide to Corporate Bonds, available on 01225 446 556.
This points out the many risks of corporate bond funds, for instance: "'During the life of the bond its value in the market will fluctuate according to interest rates and economic conditions. Put very simplistically, if interest rates rise, then the price of bonds will generally fall."
The David Aaron Partnership has also published A guide to the best very high yield investments (price £7 from 01908 281544) on corporate bonds.
Few advisers are currently recommending the fixed interest products from National Savings: the rates are too low.
Whatever route savers and investors take, they need to be very careful. Fixed interest products are just as difficult to understand thoroughly as those involving shares - and there can be many catches hidden in the fine print.

Posted by Jeremy at Arbor Teas on August 24, 2008
In case there are those of you out there who wonder why an online tea company like Arbor Teas is so zealous about our environmental performance (and our impact on global warming), a recent article in Fresh Cup Magazine (one of the primary journals of the tea and coffee industry) just connected all of the dots for you. While we at Arbor Teas believe that running our business in a sustainable fashion is just the "right thing to do," the Fresh Cup article points to a more potentially self-serving motivation. Early evidence (such as that identified by the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes, or the IPCC) suggests that the effects of global warming are likely to have very serious impacts on the world's ability to keep growing great tea (not to mention a long list of other agricultural products). While it's not as though tea production will come to a screeching halt tomorrow, this certainly isn't good news.
Global Warming's Impact on Tea-Growing Regions
There is a substantial and growing body of evidence supporting the fact that atmospheric temperatures are on the rise worldwide. Unfortunately, a majority of the available data is skewed toward developed nations. Since much of the world's tea production takes place in the developing world, there is less scientific data to evaluate when considering global warming's potential impacts. However, anecdotal evidence from growers suggests that the tea-growing world is experiencing the same climate trends as have been identified by scientists elsewhere.
From practically all corners of the tea-producing world, tea growers are reporting a variety of climate-related hardships of growing frequency and intensity that are impacting their ability to produce quality tea. Here are a few examples:
-> Drought in China leaving low-lying plants covered in dust, blocking crucial sunshine;
-> Intense rainfall contributing to erosion of slopes and loss of plantings in India;
-> Unprecedented frost in Rwanda, causing loss of 70% of leaves;
-> Erratic rainfall in Kenya, with drought occurring twice as frequently;
-> >Higher temperatures in China contributing to increased pest populations.
And the news doesn't get much better should global warming continue to advance. The most recent report of the IPCC identifies a long list of other likely impacts of global climate change, many of which will most certainly impact the tea industry. These include:
-> >Enlargement of glacial lakes (reducing growing area),
-> Increasing ground instability in permafrost regions and rock avalanches in mountain regions,
-> Earlier and increased runoff in glacial- and snow-fed rivers and streams,
-> Warming of lakes and rivers,
-> Reduction in agricultural production in dry and tropic regions (with even small temperature increases).
Clearly, any of the events described above would put a serious damper on tea production (whether it be through loss of tea bushes, reduced arable land, lower quality of manufactured leaves, etc.). But in addition to all of this, simple increases in temperature can have further impacts on tea growing. This shouldn't come as a surprise to the serious farmers or gardeners out there, but the growth and development of tea plants are genetically linked to certain times of year and weather conditions, which are often triggered by changes in temperature. Increased temperatures can cause new leaves to sprout too early, only to be damaged by early morning frosts.
To make matters worse, decreases in productivity that may be attributable to climate change often force planters to cut down or burn forested areas to make way for additional tea fields, which only stands to exacerbate the climate change problem.
What Global Warming Will Mean For Tea Lovers
Some countries (Japan in particular) have begun devising plans to address the challenges of tea production in the face of climate change. And while Japan may actually have the resources and technological wherewithal to adapt their tea growing industry to a warmer climate, the same may not be said for other locales. At the end of the day, continued global warming will make growing quality teas harder and more expensive. Both the quality and quantity of production will be reduced (or at least become more erratic), and - thanks to our friend the supply-and-demand curve - this will mean higher tea prices for the consumer. If you can get it at all.
Sorry to paint such a bleak picture of the potential future of the tea industry, but knowledge is power, right? This doesn't have to be our fate, fellow tea lovers! Global warming is an urgent, but solvable problem. That's why Arbor Teas recently joined the We Campaign, a nonpartisan movement of concerned citizens that was founded by Nobel Prize Laureate and former Vice President Al Gore. The We Campaign is working to ensure that elected leaders make the climate crisis a priority. We encourage you to visit www.wecansolveit.org, where you can learn more about solutions to global warming, take action steps and even find climate change-related events happening in your community. Although it's not too late, global warming is very serious and there is no time to lose.
Incidentally, you should also continue to shop for organic tea at Arbor Teas, the web's most sustainable tea shop. Every little bit helps, right?

SPCA in Cattaraugus County - A True No-Kill Shelter
Dedicated to Saving the Lives of Innocent Animals
Our Pet List
Spay & Neuter ALL animals you have !
Please Spay and Neuter Your Pets!
There are so many homeless animals! And so many litters of cats and dogs being born! Please spay and neuter your pets to avoid unwanted litters. Both male and female animals should be fixed. Spaying or neutering will not make the animal lazy or slow. The animal will be just as playful and energetic. The female will not go into heat and the male will not be seeking a female in heat. Neutering males also reduces their tendency to fight other male dogs.
How can you help?
#1 Way to Help Animals - PLEASE Spay & Neuter Your Pets !! This helps control the population of animals which in turn equals less unwanted and/or uncared for pets.
* Foster Care Program
- As a Foster Parent you take animals into your home & provide them with nurturing and a comfy home until they get adopted. Pets available for Foster Care include kittens, puppies & mother animals not yet ready for adoption as well as special needs animals that could really use a nice home environment with the additional TLC. Please consider opening your home to these wonderful animals.
* Interested in volunteering?
We are always looking for animal lovers who are interested in helping out with anything from dog walking, facility cleaning, painting, fix-it projects, animal grooming to working at adoption events. Also, anyone interested in joining our board of directors (a wonderful way to make a difference), please call the shelter...we are always looking for those committed to our cause. The animals so appreciate the time & love you can give them!!
* Donations...
If you would like to donate to the SPCA in Catt. County, we are in need of:
Cat litter * Medium and Large Dog Choke Chains * Cat Carriers * Medium and Large Dog Crates * Blankets, Sheets, and Towels * Dog, puppy, cat, and kitten food of all kinds * Litter Pans * Cat and Dog Toys (incl. Nylabones for dogs) * Animal Treats * Laundry Soap * Bleach * Cleaning Supplies * Shampoos & Cleansers * Paper Towels * Office Supplies * Contracting/Repair Services * Anything an animal would need/like, we could use but mostly your time & love
Monetary Donations are always GREATLY APPRECIATED to support our efforts

Who We Are...
The SPCA in Cattaraugus County, is a non-profit, no-kill charity animal shelter, and was founded in 1905. We are dedicated to saving the lives of animals, and providing adoption services for homeless and neglected animals. Donations and fundraisers account for approximately 70%+ of our yearly income. Over the past fifteen years, we have helped to find loving homes for over 25,000 animals. We are the largest animal shelter in New York's southern tier. In 1984, we moved into a building located on 11 acres, with significantly more space than our previous location. We have 68 dog kennels (indoor/outdoor) and 4 rooms dedicated to housing cats including 2 open cat rooms that allows the cats to romp & play without being confined to a cage. Four large outdoor play yards, approximately 400 sq. ft. each, are used as exercise areas for the dogs. We also have a barn to house farm animals removed from cruelty cases. A large medical/restricted area serves as temporary housing for animals in need of medical attention, rehabilitation, or recovery time. Here they receive individual treatment from our medical staff in a controlled environment.
Adopting a friend
Adopting an animal should not be an impulse decision or done in haste. Please take the time to research which breed would be best for you & your family. We can help you with this at the shelter or you can do it online at Petfinder.com. We also recommend that you make frequent visits to the shelter - spend time with the animals you might be interested in - get to know them & let them get to know you. We want our animals to be happy with you & you to be happy with the animal(s) you've chosen to become a member of your family.
Adoption fees are as follows:
Unaltered cats and kittens -- $55.00
Spayed/neutered cats/kittens-- $20.00
Unaltered dogs/puppies -- $100.00
Spayed/neutered dogs/puppies -- $45.00
Includes: Distemper and Rabies shots, Deworming, Adoption kit.
We recommend that all dogs adopted be indoor or indoor/outdoor dogs with an enclosed kennel area. This eases the risk of loss, diseases, injury, etc.... Please take the proper precautions during inclement weather - especially extreme cold. Dogs enjoy a fenced-in yard in which they can run and play.
Cats/kittens should be kept strictly indoors to avoid disease, injury, loss and preditors.
**For cats and kittens that are not spayed/neutered prior to adoption, $35 will be refunded to adopter AFTER proof of spay/neuter.
Come Visit Us!
Our shelter is directly South of Buffalo (approximately 1 1/2 hours) on Route 16 just north of Olean.

During that period, his band, Princes Orchestra, accompanied virtually every recording artist for Columbia.
The orchestra was formed in the early 1900s and while chiefly responsible for backing vocalists, also achieved over 80 top forty hit instrumental recordings from 1905 through 1923 including Ballin the Jack (#1, 1914), Hello Hawaii, How Are You? (#1, 1916) and The Star-Spangled Banner (#1, 1916).

Another game, another shoulder injury. But, fingers crossed, I won't be adding to what has become a long England injury list.
I've been given the all-clear by the England physios and I'm looking forward to putting my Newcastle shirt on this weekend against Leicester.
I was absolutely devastated when the decision was made to take me off at the start of the second half against Italy.
I felt I could have played on - though when I woke up on Monday I realised it was a wise move.
Apart from the usual aches - my left shoulder was very sore. But the pain I felt was nothing compared to that experienced by Charlie Hodgson.
He's a remarkable player and a great guy to have around the camp.
I haven't been able to speak to him since his scan on Tuesday but it's one of those situations where no amount of words can make up for his disappointment.
A ruptured anterior cruciate ligament is a terrible injury to sustain - especially so early into his international career.
I've read reports that Clive Woodward was considering resting me against Scotland and giving Charlie a full game at fly-half.
That's obviously not going to happen now and all I can say is that I'm always keen to get involved in any and every match England play.
We've become a very self-critical side, so although we were delighted to get another win under our belts, we were frustrated at our inability to keep Italy under the cosh.
Having said that, they have developed into a very tough side, able to control possession and dictate the game.
I though Josh Lewsey looked every part the international full-back.
The same goes for James Simpson-Daniel and Ollie Smith, who both played with passion and commitment.
The Italians will be rightly disappointed with the final scoreline of 40-5. It didn't reflect their dominance and it again highlighted a number of weaknesses with the way we're playing.
We let the Italians in and gave them opportunities. Had we been playing against another side, our inability to get our hands on the ball could have proved far more costly.
Having said that, we're sitting atop the Six Nations table and we have no intention of giving it up.
Ireland, as suspected, are hot on our heels and are sure be a very tough challenge in Dublin.
Every time they run onto the pitch their body language says only one thing: 'We're here to win'.
They have developed into a great, great team, I only hope we both remain unbeaten ahead of what looks set to be this season's biggest game yet.

I have a love for old-school games and I have a feeling the console is going to get a price drop when PS4 and The One release. I'm not totally sold on the all-in-one experience that MS and Sony provide. And also, I'm not a fan of Internet-always on consoles or being charged for used games.
