While the pay-TV market appeared to be stemming subscription losses as 2013 wore on, new data from Centris Marketing Science nevertheless finds an apparent rise in the incidence of cord-cutting households between Q1 and Q3. And it's not only cord-cutting that seems to be growing; a separate [updates: contested, "clarified"] study from The NPD Group indicates that "cord-shaving" (cutting back on the amount of money spent on subscriptions) is increasing, with the share of households subscribing to premium TV services such as HBO and Showtime on the decline.
Turning first to the cord-cutting data, Centris indicates that 8% of US households reported having eliminated their pay-TV subscriptions in Q3 2013, double the percentage from the Q1 survey (4%). With the percentage of households counting as "cord-nevers" (never having had pay-TV) relatively steady at 8% in Q3, that leaves 84% of households subscribing to pay-TV during Q3, down from 87% 6 months earlier.
Not surprisingly, cord-cutting behavior is more prevalent among Millennials (11%) than the general population, a trend that is fairly well established at this point. Other demographic groups showing above-average inclination to cut the cord are black households (11%) and those with annual incomes of less than $25k (12%), for whom cost is most likely the primary factor.
Among cord-cutting households, 63% reported having a subscription to an over-the-top (OTT) service in Q3, up from 56% during the first quarter.
The rise of OTT services such as Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime may be having an effect on premium channel subscriptions (although the requisite disclaimer that correlation does not equal causation applies). According to the [disputed by HBO] NPD Group data, the percentage of US households subscribing to premium TV channels dropped from 38% in March 2012 to 32% in August 2013, while the share of households subscribing to subscription video-on-demand services concurrently rose from 23% to 27%. Services such as Netflix may indeed be starting to be treated as a premium channel of sorts; a study released last year by GfK found Netflix users professed to watching less premium cable as they likely viewed their subscription service as an alternative, particularly given the success of its original programming.
About the Data: The Centris data is based on a survey of more than 30,000 US households.

I used to work in this pub with my sister. It's 4 walls have set the scene for many a drama! It was a great pub back in the day - and excellent fun on Airborne Forces Weekend (not so much fun for out of towners, I'd imagine!) LOL!

Hadley: BathroomMature
A couple days passed after reading Cayden's journal and Maxxie was still blaming himself. At least, I think he was still blaming himself. He wasn't his usual cheery huggy self and as much as I tried not to notice out of common decency, it was bugging me. It's not his fault. It's not anyone's fault. Well, that's arguable when you consider John but it's still nobody's fault. Yeah, how am I supposed to convince him that? No, seriously, if you know how then please tell me. I mean, I've tried reasoning with him but that was an epic fail on my part. "I know it looks bad and there's plenty of things that should make it your fault." Oh yeah, that's wonderful, Hadley.
What was the best thing I could think of? Going to see Cayden again. So that was what we did. It was easier to get in this time since I'd moved the weird tree stump out of the way but it was still dark in there. I guess he got out of bed and shut the curtains after I left the other day. Something wasn't right, the place was too quiet. Maxxie frowned and went to the bedroom. I followed wordlessly as he flicked on a light.
Cayden was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he'd gone out to the store? Oh give it up, Hadley, you know he's in here somewhere. Maxxie looked in the bathroom, testing the door first since he was no doubt expecting it to be locked. It wasn't, though, and I shuffled up behind him, seeing Cayden lying on his back on the floor. Concern and worry flashed across Maxxie's face as he dropped to his knees next to him.
Cayden chuckled a teeny bit. "Thought you said he wasn't gonna leave"
He gave a little baby of a frown. "Who d'you think?"
"What, Gary?"
He nodded and Maxxie looked sort of upset, though whether it was at the death of Gary I couldn't be sure.
He pushed Cayden's hair back and left his hand on his cheek. "M'sorry, Cay"
"You said he wouldn't" Cayden mumbled and Maxxie bit his lip. That's gonna help with the blame thing...
Cayden rolled onto his side and Maxxie sat with him, starting to play with his hair.
"What're you doing lying down in here anyway, hmm?"
"You said he wouldn't leave" Cayden mumbled again.
"I know, I'm sorry. I didn't think he would, and I was wrong" Maxxie sighed.
Cayden's face twisted into a sad expression and Maxxie matched it.
"I'm so sorry" he whispered.
Cayden was silent. I stood in the doorway watching them and trying to think of something to do. What could I do? What Maxxie said meant more to him than anything I could ever say but he was even blocking him out...
Maxxie lay down with him and Cayden stayed as he was, not saying or doing anything. Maxxie kept playing with his hair which was when I noticed the shine on Cayden's cheeks. He was crying.
"I trusted you" he whispered.
Maxxie closed his eyes and mumbled. "I know"
Cayden was quiet again and I could tell Maxxie was trying very hard not to cry as well. I still didn't know who to help. Part of me wanted to help Cayden since he's my brother and all but another part of me said it was Maxxie I should be looking out for. Oh God, it's like being back at home...
"Cayden," Maxxie opened his eyes again, "I know this is my fault and that I need to take responsibility for this, but I don't know how" he said, biting his lip again.
"I miss him" Cayden mumbled so much I barely heard him.
"Gage?" Maxxie asked quietly and Cayden nodded.
Maxxie stroked his hair but it was obvious he didn't know what to say. Cayden was still ort of crying and hugged his chest a little bit. Maxxie kissed his forehead, sitting up and pulling Cayden into a hug. Cayden didn't really respond and I bit my lip as Maxxie was on the verge of tears. He hugged a little tighter but Cayden still didn't do anything. Maxxie glanced up at me and I shuffled over, sitting on Cayden's lap. What was it I used to do when we were little?
Cayden didn't really do anything and I heard Maxxie crying a little. I bit my lip, torn between the two of them again. Man, why am I in the middle of this? I hugged Cayden and pecked him on the lips, not really caring that it was probably some form of incest. Cayden sort of hugged back and I almost sighed in relief. Maxxie watched us, no doubt unsure of what to do. I pressed my forehead to Cayden's which was when he started crying properly and fisted the back of my t-shirt as he hugged tighter. Maxxie shuffled out of the bathroom and left us to it, which kind of made me feel bad. Should I have made sure he was okay first?

Molokai Says Goodbye to Island Air
On April 1, Island Air took off from Molokai for the last time after the company announced last month that it would end its service to the island. Terry Cole is an air traffic controller on Molokai and snapped this shot from the tower.
"There were quite a few cars parked on the hill waving goodbye, and the pilot expressed his sadness about not coming back," she said.
Island Air CEO Paul Casey told the Dispatch that the company waited until it was "sure that the residents of Molokai had adequate service" before deciding to "redeploy our aircraft to another route that needs more capacity."
Island Air had eight full-time and seven part-time employees based on Molokai, the longest of whom has worked for the company more than 25 years, according to Casey.…

Before we got married, sex was great. We used to have sex at least once per day. Within a week after the marriage he began to lose interest in it. Now it is once per week or once every 2 weeks, and when we do it it doesn't seem like he wants to. It feels as though he is just doing it because I want to. He claims he is stressed about money, but I don't understand why this would change the sex part of the relationship. In other areas as well, regarding my friends, where I go and with who, he has been controlling and yells at me on a regular basis. Things that he said he liked about me before we were married are now a problem for him. I am worried and stressed and I feel so unattractive. I have never had a problem like this with a man before. Do you have any advice on why this type of thing happens? Is this a common thing? What can I do to make things better. I feel as though we are growing apart, which is sad.
Advice: Men do change. We'd suggest that you seek a good marriage counselor. Ask your husband to come along to help you see the things that you do that stress him out. At first you need to own all of the problem, as it is necessary to get him there. When he yells start making a list of what the issues are. For some reason he seems to think that he has fallen off the hero pedestal. He is either frustrated or feels rejected, so he gets angry, which is a guys' way of handling problems. The most of it is probably about him, but if you accuse him, he will only try to get more distance. Let us know how it goes.

Menopause is a Huge problem.
As is also related to Hormone in balance.
Excess Fat and weight gain, sagging breast and skin and gray hair, also plays a role. The failure to get a dress on or get make up on further pushed men away.
Doctors also fail to see what needs to be done.
Then you have fat obese huge belly guys going bald or grey hair on the guys.
Wake up people, you are all failing because you don't see the problem or do you part to look good for each other. Go to the gym or get some plastic surgery.
Fight for your health before its too late.
I'm so glad you had time to write. it must have been difficult for you to find the time, what with all that scheduled "blaming the woman for the [expletive removed] men put us through" idiocy. Have you even *read* the target post here? "hey, my husband is being controlling, not letting me see my friends–basically not loving me as Christ loves the church, not submitting one (himself) unto another", and the post basically tells the woman (who is totally hurt and being cheated by a false prophet of marriage the likes of which were severely degraded in the scriptures) that SHE needs to find a good marriage counselor and SHE needs to OWN the problem. I'm sorry, but what?? Please go back and read the scriptures if you're going to play holier-than-thou. The scriptures do tell women once to submit to their husbands, but in the same book tell men THREE TIMES how they need to love and submit to their wives.The penalties of not doing so are pretty much specifically stated. Men who refuse to take responsibility as the spiritual head of the home while demanding the position's benefits are reprimanded multiple times in the Bible. We also have the Song of Solomon, where the husband pretty much worshiped his wife and this is held up as a type and shadow and example. The guy in this target situation needs his butt kicked by the elders in the church for being a brat and a jerk. You know this, but so many groups want to put all the blame on the woman, truly, it's just so much easier to since they can't physically defend themselves—I MEAN BECAUSE MEN ARE THE SPIRITUAL HEAD AND THERE WAS THAT WHOLE "I'M TOO STUPID TO NOT TALK TO A ***TALKING SNAKE*** THING". That's what I meant. Women are such dangerous snake-loving trouble makers, you know. It's truly a wonder He lets them into heaven….
I'm 38 years old man,my problem is i only affording to make 1 round a day of sex until tomorrow again.i wish at least i can make 2 rounds a day. I tried many pills but they a not responding with my system
I'm 38 years old man,my problem is i only affording to make 1 round of sex until tomorrow again.i wish at least i can 2 rounds.
I am a 31 year old woman.My husband doesn't touch me,kiss or show interest in me.We have been together for 5years and childless.And now he really doesn't want to make love to me.I feel sorry for myself and i feel useless.It hurts a lot because when i want us to talk about it,he just gets annoyed and say that its because "we ain't home".We recently moved to South Africa
Thanks for your advice but Ai think we are fine.
As I say, I don't feel like it's a problem particularly. Neither of us is interested and so neither is missing out. I would say differently if one of us was feeling denied.
Thankyou though
Contrary to the stereotypes, not all men are interested in sex. I myself have very little interest in it.
It is fortunate for my wife that she also doesn't, as this might cause problems.
I'm very sorry as to your situation.
My husband of 50 years never really liked or wanted me. So in his great wisdom he just got up and left me. He has made sure I've had enough money and he just gave me the house. I have everything I need money, fairly new car and a roof over my head. I'm not happy how our marriage went but that's what life dealt me.
I've been with my partner for 7 years.theres never been a lot of sex in our relationship. But literally non existent now.i do love my girlfriend so much but have no interest in having sex with her. She has gained so much weight and this is a real turn off. Luckily for me she doesn't bother me about it.ir must play on her mind though but she never mentions anything. I can't mention about her weight coz she will get moody. All she does is sleep and eat. With a part time job in between
I am going through the exact same thing, it literally is just my situation. Have you been able to achieve anything. My self-esteem is at its lowest right now.
Get Out Now! 40 years later and the only times we had sex were (a.) twice a week before marriage, (b.) once a month in the first 5 years, and (c.) maybe twice a year after that until the 13th year – and then NOTHING (even though I kept asking him) from yeaar 14 to 40 —— yes, 27 years with no sex. I wish I had left the night we got married. It would have saved my self-esteem, and put joy in my life. I am bitter, old, and no longer attractive, which is because my health went downhill along with the self esteem.
My husband lost all his interest in me, that happened about a week after we were married. That was 48 years ago and some change. He has lived his life in our basement! He never liked sex therefore he thought of me as the whole problem. He never talks to me, I'm just some one else on the street that he doesn't care about. I question myself so many times as to why I stayed but now to late and to old to care any more. He was never gay or have something one on the side.
I am tutu from india .my age is 25 and i have lost my sexual life. Becoz i think a have already hydrosel probelm
Iv been with my partner for seven year n we HV a 3 year old son but after my son things HV never really been the same,well in bed.He has lost all sex interest n this makes me feel unattractive.wat can we do to revive the sexual spark.
Hereditary issues sorry
Anyone have experience with extremely low testosterone or depo-testosterone?
I suffer from nearly non existent levels often at or under 100! I am 46, have liver issues from her diary disorder. The shots were working but seem to have less of an affect than they first did when I started them. Getting an erections only a few minutes a month is killing my marriage. Getting the doctor to write the script is also becoming an issue as I get one excuse after another from my doctor. None of which deny my near non existent T levels.
My husband is on atroiza,hiv treatment,he has lost intrest in sex at all.is dis meds causing dis problem?
Sex requires specific focus to enable him to gain an erection. Stress of any kind can affect a man's libido and make him lose interest in sex.
Dear Sir,

i have lose my sex how to gain im 36 year old please help me
It was a tongue in cheek comment. Its the way society views it. We men always are viewed this way it seems. I know the internet can not translate this as a sarcastic comment. It is easier to blame the guy even if it is the woman that cheats or loses interest. It seems that the woman can do no wrong and even if they do it is deflected on someone else. Men are horrid at this too. Some men who cheat say "I am a guy", like this somehow makes it ok. The problem is most people are self centered and should not be with anyone in the first place.
need of privesee
Usually it is the woman that loses interest it seems. When a woman loses interest it is because of stress,hormones or some thing they just cant control. When its a man who loses interest its because he is a power hungry jerk or a cheater. Perhaps she changed and he is reacting to that. No point in even asking such an absurd question as it is easier to shift the blame to the ever repulsive testosterone driven male.
Things have changed,thank u!he is now somebody I falled in love with years ago.I apreciate the help.I don't know what I would have done without u.thanks a lot!
I also have a husband who kinda lost interest in sex,when I ask him what's the problem he rather just be angry.I think its when a person no longer loves u anymore and just want to be with u for other reasons.I mean sex shud be done to keep the relationship strong!I'm done with putting my life onhold because of someone,I might just dissapear and never come back!
It is normal for some men to loose their interest with sex after a while with the same person. Sometime we need to try something different on the menu.
A lot of men are losin interest in sex these days so don't take it so personally. Increasing social stress due to work, family, changing gender roles, etc has a big effect on pride and thus libido. also, a lot of men are tired of all the drama and questioning the benefits they get from women. Same for women. So I expect to see a huge spike in asexuality in the near future where people will no longer have to deal with others' issues and focus on their own happiness.
I don't know how long ago this was written and don't know if your marriage is still intact but from what you've described your husband sounds like he's got some very manipulative ways about him. You suggest he's annoyed or jealous about the time you spend with your friends but before he didn't mind it and now he withholds sex from you. Or doesnt act very interested. What it sounds like he's doing is punishing you – now that you are "his property"…and no longer just his GF. He sounds controlling and making excuses about money, is… just that, an excuse to deflect what is really going on. He knows it's putting you off-center and confusing you and that's what narcissistic types do. They BLAME you and sabotage all your efforts to make sense of things. If he doesn't knock this kind of behavior off – get out and get out fast!! Don't think you can out wit or outsmart him. Narcissists always have to maintain control and are usually two steps ahead. They don't know how to truly love or give – it's all conditional and based on what you can do for them, or rather, how they can control you enough to satisfy their need to annihilate your self esteem which is always the outcome. These are very warped individuals and they CANNOT maintain normal relationships with anyone, especially 'intimate' ones. An extreme narcissist may even fall into the category of pyschopathic…so be careful if you do think about leaving, plan your exit strategy in secret. Tell him nothing and don't let on to anything…just leave and NEVER again make contact with him unless its done for legal reasons and only use a PO box in another town. Sorry to be such a downer but I've known these types and have seen the damage they do and it's terrible. Good luck.

Taiwan at the centre of US/China standoff
KERRY O'BRIEN: Even if this current incident is solved quickly, it will have strengthened the hands of the hardliners in both China and the US, the voices who are urging Presidents Jiang and Bush to play it tough.
And the issue closest to the hearts of hardliners on both sides is Taiwan.
The People's Liberation Army now has hundreds of missiles lined up on China's south-east coast opposite Taiwan.
And there's a growing chorus of voices in Congress, urging President Bush to sell the Taiwanese, America's state-of-the art Aegis anti-missile radar system, considered an essential prerequisite for an effective missile defence.
From Washington, Craig McMurtrie reports on the next looming crisis in Sino-American relations.
GEORGE W BUSH, US PRESIDENT: It's my honour to welcome our distinguished guest from China.
China is a great country.
CRAIG McMURTRIE: It was less than a fortnight ago, George W Bush with China's Vice-Premier, Qian Qichen.
GEORGE W BUSH: And before I introduce our distinguished guest, I do want to say how much I'm looking forward to going to China.
I will be going next fall.
CRAIG McMURTRIE: Behind the pleasantries, the Vice-Premier's mission in Washington was to warn the American against selling arms to Taiwan.
It was already a high-octane issue.
And then two military aircraft collided and a US spy plane wound up on Chinese soil.
GEORGE W BUSH: (Yesterday) This accident has the potential of undermining our hopes for a fruitful and productive relationship between our two countries.
JOSEPH PRUEHER, US AMBASSADOR: The Chinese officials with whom we normally deal on a day-to-day basis to handle all situations have clammed up and so the normal dialogue we would have to try to reason this out and discuss this in a factual way has not been available to us.
CRAIG McMURTRIE: No dialogue, no quick answers and growing anger on Capitol Hill.
STEVE BUYER, HOUSE REPUBLICAN: You're being watched not only by Congress but the American people and the community of nations.
VITO FOSSELLA, HOUSE REPUBLICAN: And to the Communist Government in China, let those American sailors go noW
CRAIG McMURTRIE: As that anger expands here on Capitol Hill, the wiggle room for the White House over selling arms to Taiwan shrinks.
In fact, the incident over the US plane may have already effectively tied the hands of the Bush Administration.
CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS, POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: It's something the Chinese leadership may regret is that that has now become inseparable from this.
In other words, if a decision was taken not to do that sale, there will be plenty of people on the Republican right who would say that was appeasement and it was some kind of a covert deal cut for hostages.
That would look bad.
And by the way, the idea of trading arms for hostages makes any member of the Bush family go green.
JOHN KYL, REPUBLICAN SENATOR: I think that it makes it more likely the US will end up selling more defensive arms to Taiwan in order to defend itself against attacks by China.
The longer the crisis goes on, the more likely I think we are to sell more arms to Taiwan.
CRAIG McMURTRIE: Republican John Kyl is an unabashed supporter of Taiwan, one of more than a dozen Senators and 40 House members calling on George Bush to approve arms sales.
JOHN KYL: I believe that the demonstration by the Chinese leadership that it is very capable of being belligerent beyond any appropriate degree is further evidence that the Taiwanese are correct that they need defensive weapons.
CRAIG McMURTRIE: A well-funded and powerful Taiwan lobby in Washington is seeking highly expensive and sophisticated weapons.
PARRIS CHANG, TAIWAN COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS: Taiwan needs this because China has deployed so many missiles aimed at Taiwan -- 300 to be exact -- and therefore Taiwan needs to defend against such kind of a missile build-up.
CRAIG McMURTRIE: On the list of Taipei-based politician Parris Chang and others like him are destroyers with Aegis missile and radar systems, capable of tracking more than 200 targets.
Fighters, anti-submarine aircraft, even submarines.
PARRIS CHANG: The military balance of power in the Taiwan Strait has been tilting towards China.
And if China has much superior force against Taiwan, then Chinese leader may be tempted to actually use force against Taiwan.
CRAIG McMURTRIE: Never mind that China has been spooked by US plans to develop a missile defence system.
With Beijing's missile build-up and its increased defence spending and a 1979 act of the US Congress promising to sell arms for Taiwan's self defence, Senator John Kyl sees it as an open-and-shut case.
JOHN KYL: For example, their missiles rate against Taiwan.
That calls for some kind of anti-missile system.
There is the potential for tying up the Taiwanese Strait and other waters in and around Taiwan.
The sale of submarines is relevant for that particular threat.
PARRIS CHANG: Taiwan's case for sub and Aegis are very strong because Taiwan is merely reacting and responding to China's threat.
Taiwan is so small against China.
Taiwan certainly could not be a threat to China and Taiwan has no reason to threaten China as such.
CRAIG McMURTRIE: Managing the complex Sino-US relationship and mainland China's desire for reunification was always going to be one of the biggest headaches for the new administration.
China has warned of dire consequences if the arms sale proceeds.
REPORTER: Is there anything China can say or do that would influence your decision about which weapon systems to sell Taiwan?
GEORGE W BUSH: We have obligations under the Taiwan Relations Act and we will honour those obligations.
No decision has been made yet as to the sale of weapons to Taiwan.
CRAIG McMURTRIE: It's hardly a comforting thought for George W
Bush, but when he is done with the dispute over the US spy plane, the road ahead only gets harder.

My hotel room
The mysterious looking group of men standing outside his window was his worry, what had he done? Who were they? Those were his thoughts. To make matters worse the "Hotel" he was staying in was practically deserted, apart from the owner and a homeless man sitting by the front door. So no one to help if they came up, he hesitantly pushed the dusty wiry net curtains to the side to see the 5 big men standing in the eerily quite alley. The only sounds he could here, was the cars a few streets down, and the unsettling voice of the dark figure which must be the leader of this nightmare. It was as if he was boxed in, he couldn't leave, they'd follow. He couldn't stay, they'd come up. The tall buildings only left a thin long alley for them to stand in; he also noticed a few stray cats amongst their presence. The mud stained steps leading to the back door were almost non existent after being so worn down by hard shoes, the door wouldn't even shut. Won't be long now. He shut his eyes, thinking that if he couldn't see them, they wouldn't be there, but that's just a silly child's game, and even though hoping with all his might, when he opened his eye so slightly, two piecing blue eyes were staring right back at him

Glucotrol XL
"What is Type 2 Diabetes?
The most common form of diabetes is type 2 diabetes, formerly called non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus or "adult onset" diabetes, so-called because it typically develops in adults over age 35, though it ca"...
Glucotrol XL
All sulfonylurea drugs, including GLUCOTROL XL, are capable of producing severe hypoglycemia [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. Concomitant use of GLUCOTROL XL with other anti-diabetic medication can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. A lower dose of GLUCOTROL XL may be required to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia when combining it with other anti-diabetic medications.
Educate patients to recognize and manage hypoglycemia. When initiating and increasing GLUCOTROL XL in patients who may be predisposed to hypoglycemia (e.g., the elderly, patients with renal impairment, patients on other anti-diabetic medications) start at 2.5 mg. Debilitated or malnourished patients, and those with adrenal, pituitary, or hepatic impairment are particularly susceptible to the hypoglycemic action of anti-diabetic medications. Hypoglycemia is also more likely to occur when caloric intake is deficient, after severe or prolonged exercise, or when alcohol is ingested.
The patient's ability to concentrate and react may be impaired as a result of hypoglycemia. Early warning symptoms of hypoglycemia may be different or less pronounced in patients with autonomic neuropathy, the elderly, and in patients who are taking beta-adrenergic blocking medications or other sympatholytic agents. These situations may result in severe hypoglycemia before the patient is aware of the hypoglycemia.
These impairments may present a risk in situations where these abilities are especially important, such as driving or operating other machinery. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to unconsciousness or convulsions and may result in temporary or permanent impairment of brain function or death.
Hemolytic Anemia
Treatment of patients with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency with sulfonylurea agents, including GLUCOTROL XL, can lead to hemolytic anemia. Avoid use of GLUCOTROL XL in patients with G6PD deficiency. In post marketing reports, hemolytic anemia has also been reported in patients who did not have known G6PD deficiency.
Increased Risk Of Cardiovascular Mortality With Sulfonylureas
The administration of oral hypoglycemic drugs has been reported to be associated with increased cardiovascular mortality as compared to treatment with diet alone or diet plus insulin. This warning is based on the study conducted by the University Group Diabetes Program (UGDP), a long-term prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of glucose-lowering drugs in preventing or delaying vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study involved 823 patients who were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups.
UGDP reported that patients treated for 5 to 8 years with diet plus a fixed dose of tolbutamide (1.5 grams per day) had a rate of cardiovascular mortality approximately 2½ times that of patients treated with diet alone. A significant increase in total mortality was not observed, but the use of tolbutamide was discontinued based on the increase in cardiovascular mortality, thus limiting the opportunity for the study to show an increase in overall mortality. Despite controversy regarding the interpretation of these results, the findings of the UGDP study provide an adequate basis for this warning. The patient should be informed of the potential risks and advantages of glipizide and of alternative modes of therapy.
Although only one drug in the sulfonylurea class (tolbutamide) was included in this study, it is prudent from a safety standpoint to consider that this warning may also apply to other oral hypoglycemic drugs in this class, in view of their close similarities in mode of action and chemical structure.
Macrovascular Outcomes
There have been no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with GLUCOTROL XL or any other anti-diabetic drug.
Gastrointestinal Obstruction
There have been reports of obstructive symptoms in patients with known strictures in association with the ingestion of another drug with this non-dissolvable extended release formulation. Avoid use of GLUCOTROL XL in patients with preexisting severe gastrointestinal narrowing (pathologic or iatrogenic).
Patient Counseling Information
Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (PATIENT INFORMATION).
Inform patients of the potential adverse reactions of GLUCOTROL XL including hypoglycemia. Explain the risks of hypoglycemia, its symptoms and treatment, and conditions that predispose to its development to patients and responsible family members. Also inform patients about the importance of adhering to dietary instructions, of a regular exercise program, and of regular testing of glycemic control.
Inform patients that GLUCOTROL XL should be swallowed whole. Inform patients that they should not chew, divide or crush tablets and they may occasionally notice in their stool something that looks like a tablet. In the GLUCOTROL XL tablet, the medication is contained within a non-dissolvable shell that has been specially designed to slowly release the drug so the body can absorb it.
Advise patients with diabetes to inform their healthcare provider if they are pregnant, contemplating pregnancy, breastfeeding, or contemplating breastfeeding.

Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
A twenty month study in rats and an eighteen month study in mice at doses up to 75 times the maximum human dose revealed no evidence of drug-related carcinogenicity. Bacterial and in vivo mutagenicity tests were uniformly negative. Studies in rats of both sexes at doses up to 75 times the human dose showed no effects on fertility.
1. Diabetes, 19, SUPP. 2: 747–830, 1970
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy Category C
Glipizide was found to be mildly fetotoxic in rat reproductive studies at all dose levels (5–50 mg/kg). This fetotoxicity has been similarly noted with other sulfonylureas, such as tolbutamide and tolazamide. The effect is perinatal and believed to be directly related to the pharmacologic (hypoglycemic) action of glipizide. There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women. GLUCOTROL XL should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Nonteratogenic Effects: Prolonged severe hypoglycemia (4 to 10 days) has been reported in neonates born to mothers who were receiving a sulfonylurea drug at the time of delivery. This has been reported more frequently with the use of agents with prolonged half-lives. If glipizide is used during pregnancy, it should be discontinued at least one month before the expected delivery date.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether GLUCOTROL XL is excreted in human milk. Because the potential for hypoglycemia in nursing infants may exist, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.
Geriatric Use
There were no overall differences in effectiveness or safety between younger and older patients, but greater sensitivity of some individuals cannot be ruled out. Elderly patients are particularly susceptible to the hypoglycemic action of anti-diabetic agents. Hypoglycemia may be difficult to recognize in these patients. Therefore, dosing should be conservative to avoid hypoglycemia. [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]
Hepatic Impairment
There is no information regarding the effects of hepatic impairment on the disposition of glipizide. However, since glipizide is highly protein bound and hepatic biotransformation is the predominant route of elimination, the pharmacokinetics and/or pharmacodynamics of glipizide may be altered in patients with hepatic impairment. If hypoglycemia occurs in such patients, it may be prolonged and appropriate management should be instituted. [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

New leverage indicator provides a more complete understanding of firms' human capital
Traditionally, law firms have used the fee-earner leverage (the ratio of non-partner fee-earners to partners) as a metric that summarises the firm's leverage.
This key performance indicator (KPI) is important, given its usefulness when expressing a firms' position in terms of complexity of work, seniority, value for clients and incentives for associates. Its importance is further stressed when it comes to benchmarking, as most management texts refer to it.
However, our firm feels this does not tell the whole story. Why? Because the same leverage can result from a multiplicity of seniority combinations, as it does not consider partners' and lawyers' seniority differences.
What does that mean? Consider this: do 200 junior partners to 300 junior associates have the same impact in terms of costs and pressure on a firm's structure as 200 senior partners to 300 managing associates? Of course not, but with the traditional leverage ratio you will get the same result – 1.5 lawyers per partner.
To overcome this, we have developed a new leverage indicator for each professional level that combines seniority throughout the career path with HR costs.
The formula is based on a scale from zero for trainees to 10 for partners. Two steps need to be followed: first, calculation of the 'relative value' for each professional level: this is a proportion of the average remuneration pack of each level with the average highest remuneration pack, using 10 as a cap.
Second, calculation of the 'leverage indicator' for each level: this is the 'relative value' of each professional level plus 'leverage indicator' of the next lowest level, starting at zero for new trainees.
The firm's overall leverage is found by using the average weight.
Also, it is possible to define the 'ideal leverage' and measure the leverage of different practice areas or groups of lawyers – for example, partners and associates.
Although this metric can be defined for each law firm it can also be used as a benchmarking tool.
The metric is stable and you only need to redefine it when you make a substantial change to the firm's career plan or revise the proportional value of each professional level.
The benefits of using this KPI for firms' management are many: it combines career path and HR costs; it defines 'ideal leverages' for the firm and practice areas, and compares these to their 'real leverages'; it promotes discussion about the positioning and HR structure during the process of leverage calculation; and it translates human capital into a few summarised KPIs.
It also helps to track leverages over the years and to reconstruct those for previous years.
When used along with the traditional leverage metric, this new KPI unveils a more complete interpretation of the human capital (structure and value), with direct linkage and application to law firm management as described, as well as having benefits in terms of HR planning, the leadership pipeline, succession planning, career management and recruitment within law firms.

Top five Dublin firm William Fry has carried out its second raid on PricewaterhouseCoopers' (PwC) Irish law firm Landwell, poaching a rated contentious intellectual property (IP) team.
Landwell partner Carol Plunkett has quit the accountancy-tied firm with a senior associate. The small team will be reunited with former Landwell structured finance partner Orla Brennan, for whom William Fry swooped last year.
The loss of Plunkett will be another blow to Landwell, which has struggled globally to survive in the wake of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Last month the firm's global legal head Gerard Nicolai stood down, signalling the end of PwC's ambitions to have an international legal network.
Until the William Fry raids, Ireland had escaped relatively unscathed and the firm still has another IP partner in Garret Breen. However, sources in the Irish market said there are now other Landwell CVs on the market. Landwell declined to comment.
Plunkett is one of Dublin's top practitioners in the sector and was a partner at A&L Goodbody before her stint at Landwell. William Fry partner Brian Burke said: "Our main priority with Carol is access to her expertise; the question of whether she brings clients remains to be seen."
William Fry, once a corporate boutique, has expanded considerably over the last few years. "We're pursuing a growth strategy and this was an area where we saw potential," commented Burke.

Islamabad, Sep.20 (ANI): Senior Al-Qaeda leader Ilyas Kashmiri, who was reportedly killed in a US drone attack in North Waziristan earlier this month, was once considered former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf's 'blue eyed boy'.
Kashmiri, who was recently named the fourth most wanted terrorist by Pakistan's Interior Ministry, belonged to Pakistan occupied Kashmir's (PoK) Kotli region and was a former commando in the Pakistani Army.
The one-eyed Army commander whom the US officials considered as one of l Qaeda's 'most dangerous commanders' was deputed by the Pakistan Army to train the Afghan Mujahideens fighting against the Russians in mid-80s.
According to The News, in 2000 the then Army Chief Musharraf had rewarded Kashmiri after the latter presented his senior most official the head of a dead Indian Army officer.
According to officials, Kashmiri was the operational commander of the Harkat-ul Jihad Islami (HuJI), a terrorist group having links with Al Qaeda which operates in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.
However, Kashmiri turned against the Pakistan following the formation of the Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM).
"His honeymoon with the Pakistan Army generals was over after the creation of Jaish-e-Muhammad. General Mehmood wanted Ilyas Kashmiri to join JeM and accept Maulana Masood Azhar as his leader but the one eyed militant refused to do so," the newspaper reported.
According to it, the Lal Masjid operation in July 2007, had a great impact on Kashmiri and he reorganized his group and joined hands with the Taliban. He also persuaded several officials of the Pakistan Army to join his brigade.
In 2008, Kashmiri also planned to assassinate Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Kiyani, but his operation was called-off at the last moment after Al Qaeda's senior leadership interfered. (ANI)

Wow I seem quite late in the game here but, well, never mind that aye!
Why do I write? Well I suppose if I didn't write I would most likely kill somebody, you see, there isn't really much to do in the town I live in.
Also, I've never really felt I belonged in this world, corny I know, but it's true. So I have these characters, all chattering away in my head, all a part of me. I find it satisfying to create stories, adventures, worlds for them. Worlds that I can escape to and sometimes even feel I belong in.
But enough of that, I suppose it's quite simple; I write because it's just something I have to do.
So tell me, my fiendish friend, why do you write?

The current legal conflict between Apple and the FBI has proponents on each side. The issue seems almost impossible to resolve. However, John Martellaro has been pondering the larger problem and casts the current arguments in a broader perspective. The real question is not fighting terrorism; rather it's an issue of how much authority a modern American government has to grant itself absolute power.
FCC Slaps Verizon's Wrist for Pooping on Customer Privacy
The Federal Trade Commission fined Verizon US$1.35 million for an egregious breach of customer privacy and an even worse breach of trust. Bryan Chaffin argues that such a fine isn't even a slap on the wrist, and it shows that the FCC's fangs need to grow to keep pace with the ever-larger size of the mega-corporations it theoretically regulates.

Congressman Introduces Bill Barring Government from Buying Apple Devices

Why Tim Cook Has Declined to Reveal Apple Watch Sales is Now Clear
Even before the Apple Watch first shipped, Apple's CEO Tim Cook announced that Apple Watch quarterly sales would not be broken out for financial analysts. At first that seemed overly defensive by Apple and worrisome to observers, but in time, we've seen how clever a strategy it has been. John explains why.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai Offers Milquetoast Support for Apple in FIve Tweets
Google CEO Sundar Pichai offered support, of sorts, to Apple and CEO Tim Cook's fight against a government order to create software that would allow the FBI to brute force attack a terrorist's iPhone. In series of five whole tweets, Mr. Pichai called an open letter from Mr. Cook "important" and questioned the judge's order that would force Apple to create surveillance tools, but his comments were a far cry from endorsing Mr. Cook's position.
Kanye West Needs Help and not Just Because he Hates Apple Music
Self proclaimed best musical artist of all time Kanye West isn't going to have anything to do with streaming his latest album on Apple Music and instead is going exclusively with Tidal. This is after he begged people to sign up for the streaming music service a couple days earlier—and tried to get Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg to throw some serious money his way—in what looks like a complete and very public emotional unraveling.
The SoDoSoPaization of Silicon Valley
John Kheit thinks that Silicon Valley has allowed itself to become SoDoSoPaized. Nothing else can explain the unbearable, total non-thinking, incessant, goose-step mimicry of Apple, and he wants it to stop.

Autonomous (self-driving) cars will certainly be built to a high level of reliability and safety. However, there will still be the rare case when an autonomous car goes awry and there's a crash. Lives could be lost. What will happen then?
Apple's Vision is Plain for (Most) Everyone to See
Scott Galloway, in a fascinating and informative presentation, asserts that it's fairly easy to grasp the basic message of Amazon, Facebook and Google. But when it comes to Apple, the argument is that Tim Cook, the superb operator, isn't a good storyteller. Worse, he says "What is Apple's mission? They don't have one that they can articulate." This blindness to Apple's charter from Steve Jobs is a mystery.

Optimal Investment On Finite Horizon With Random Discrete Order Flow In Illiquid Markets
We study the problem of optimal portfolio selection in an illiquid market with discrete order flow. In this market, bids and offers are not available at any time but trading occurs more frequently near a terminal horizon. The investor can observe and trade the risky asset only at exogenous random times corresponding to the order flow given by an inhomogenous Poisson process. By using a direct dynamic programming approach, we first derive and solve the fixed point dynamic programming equation satisfied by the value function, and then perform a verification argument which provides the existence and characterization of optimal trading strategies. We prove the convergence of the optimal performance, when the deterministic intensity of the order flow approaches infinity at any time, to the optimal expected utility for an investor trading continuously in a perfectly liquid market model with no-short sale constraints.

Get Started
We have officially landed in the harbourside city with the opening of our new Sydney CBD office.
Get Started is shaking up the landscape of digital agencies specialising in Kentico in Australia with our recent expansion into Sydney.
The Sydney CBD office opened on Wednesday 4 May in response to high demand for Kentico-based websites. The decision to open the Barrack Street address follows Get Started's acquisition of several high-profile Sydney-based clients, including Fred Hollows, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and Nuplex.
"We're very excited about our new office in Sydney," said Get Started Managing Director Adam Griffith. "We're seeing real growth in the take-up of the Kentico CMS, including recent Melbourne wins like Crown Casino. Sydney is the biggest Kentico market in Australia, so it makes sense for the leading Kentico agency to service that market directly. This expansion will allow us to better serve our Sydney-based clients, including long-standing brands like Doyle's Restaurant."
The Sydney office, at Level 1, 3 Barrack St, opened its doors with a small number of Sydney-based employees but we will be looking to expand our Sydney team over the coming months. "We see Sydney as a great pool for new talent so we will definitely be looking to bring some more Sydney-based members into the team in the future," said Get Started CEO, Marty Drill.
Get Started has been working with Kentico since 2008 and has built more than 250 websites on the platform. Our development team is led by Asia Pacific's only Kentico MVP, Andy Thompson.

Canada Should Not Be Intimidated Into Ratifying The TPP
Now that the Trans Pacific Partnership has been signed, maybe we can have the honest, open and transparent debate that Canadians were denied during the federal election -- and which the new Liberal government in Ottawa has promised.
Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland signed the TPP last week, saying it was merely a formality before the deal could be put before Parliament for debate. So, let's have that debate. There's certainly a lot to talk about.
A Unifor study last fall found that weakened regional content rules threaten 20,000 well-paying jobs in Canada's auto sector alone. Another study, cited by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, pegged the total jobs risk at 58,000.
The deal would also make it easier for companies from TPP countries to bring in potentially unlimited numbers of temporary foreign workers without worrying about proper certifications or wage floors established for other such workers. And temporary foreign workers would continue to be blocked from becoming full citizens.
Any worker coming to Canada for a job should have the right to apply for full citizenship. If they are good enough to work here, they are good enough to become citizens.
"Harper refused to talk about details of the deal, and just wanted us to sign on out of some fear of being left out -- bargaining from a position of weakness. Clark would have us continue to do the same."
As well, there are concerns about the impact of tighter patent laws on drug prices, the TPP's anti-democratic investor-state dispute mechanisms, major concessions on dairy and poultry marketing boards and many other issues that need to be explored.
There is no rush for Canada to ratify the deal, especially when it looks like the U.S. might not.
The TPP has little to no support among those currently vying for either the Democratic or Republican presidential nomination -- which means that by year end, the U.S. will likely be led by a president who does not support the deal.
Even Democratic contender Hilary Clinton -- secretary of state when the TPP talks began and through its first 15 rounds of talks -- is backing away from the TPP. "We need to be sure that new trade deals meet clear tests: They have to create good American jobs, raise wages and advance our national security," she said. "The bar here is very high and, based on what I have seen, I don't believe this agreement has met it."
That's the kind of thinking we should apply to our own assessment of the TPP -- is it good for Canadian workers? Will our families benefit? Does it help us to build the equal and caring society, with opportunities for our young people that we want?
If not, why ratify it?
British Columbia Premier Christy Clark would have us rush into signing the deal. But this is the same panicked thinking that put the Harper government in a position of weakness when it was negotiating the deal -- begging to be let in and giving away the store just to be part of the club.
We must not let Clark or anyone else push us into ratifying TPP without a lot of debate about what is actually in the deal, and an honest assessment of its impact on the Canadian economy and Canadian families.
Clark is looking for a wedge issue to use against the New Democrats in an election expected in the next year. With NDP taking two seats from Clark's Liberals in last week's byelections, she is hoping to scare voters into supporting her and the TPP.
Sound familiar?
Stephen Harper tried and failed to do exactly the same thing in last fall's federal election. He refused to talk about details of the deal, and just wanted us to sign on out of some fear of being left out -- in other words, bargaining from a position of weakness. Clark would have us continue to do the same.
That message was soundly rejected in the federal election, and it must be rejected now. The direction of our economy can't be decided out of fear, panic or intimidation from our leaders.
Canada is a strong country with rich resources and a skilled workforce. We can and must negotiate trade deals, the TPP included, from the position of strength that gives us.

Canada's new copyright laws, passed last fall, cap the liability for unauthorized downloading of copyrighted material at $5,000, so long as the downloading is not for commercial purposes. But the TPP could force Canada to institute criminal penalties even for small-time downloaders, according to a number of consumer advocacy groups. Canada's top negotiator at the talks last fall refused to say whether Canada would fight for its new copyright laws in the TPP deal.
An umbrella group of U.S. media companies has been lobbying the U.S. Trade Representative to pressure Canada into repealing Canadian content rules as part of the TPP. That has raised significant concerns among music and film and TV groups that Canada's cultural industries could be threatened by the TPP.
Article 16 of a leaked 2011 draft of the TPP mandates that countries create "legal incentives" for internet service providers to do their own copyright policing online. That is interpreted by many to mean that ISPs could be held legally accountable if their subscribers download illegally. Consumer groups fear this will mean expanded monitoring of web users' online habits, and the possibility of three-strikes-and-you're-out rules that would cut off internet services to subscribers alleged to have engaged in unauthorized downloading.
U.S. House Rep. Alan Grayson, who rose to fame four years ago with his quip that the Republican health care plan amounts to hoping you "die quickly," was recently allowed to see a draft copy of the TPP. While he's been banned from divulging any details, the populist Florida Democrat described it in a recent blog post as an agreement that "hands the sovereignty of our country over to corporate interests." He told HuffPost: "Having seen what I've seen, I would characterize this as a gross abrogation of American sovereignty … And I would further characterize it as a punch in the face to the middle class of America. I think that's fair to say from what I've seen so far. But I'm not allowed to tell you why!" He added on his blog: "There is no national security purpose in keeping this text secret."
While politicians like Grayson have to keep quiet in public about what they've seen, a "consultation group" likely composed of lobbyists has had access to the talks through the Canadian delegation, critics say. OpenMedia reported it received a non-disclosure agreement the group said was mistakenly sent to them, and was apparently meant for industry insiders. "It appears ... the Canadian government got confused about which contacts were industry lobbyists and which are from public interest groups," OpenMedia stated. The Harper government had previously denied that such a group existed.
This might not be something the Harper government wants to keep from the public, which is largely unhappy with the state of telecom in Canada, but it could be something it's trying to keep out of sight of Canada's telecom companies. The U.S. Trade Representative recently criticized Canada's protectionist telecom policies, along with policies in a number of other countries negotiating the TPP. That has led some to conclude Canada will come under pressure to relax restrictions on foreign ownership of telecoms. The Tories have previously loosened foreign ownership rules in order to spur competition in the wireless market, so there is a good chance they will be receptive to further liberalization of telecom regulations.
One of the clauses being debated in the TPP would allow corporations to decide themselves whether internet browsers can make "temporary copies" to your computer's history folder. Temporary copies are a basic element of how web browsers work (it's what they use to remember your browsing history). Critics say allowing companies to control what is and isn't copied could harm the ability of search engines to become more sophisticated. It could also have a chilling effect on tech innovation, as it could halt the development of apps that, for example, use a picture of a book cover or a part of a song to identify that book or song.
Canada was reportedly kept out of TPP negotiations at first because of its supply management system, which controls the price of some basic grocery goods like milk and eggs. Canada's acceptance into the talks has been interpreted by some as meaning the Tories are willing to put the supply management system on the table. (The Tories have already ended the Wheat Board's monopoly.) Many Canadians would like to see the end of the "milk and eggs monopoly," and supporters of change say freeing up the market would result in lower prices. Supporters of the current system say there is no reason to believe prices will go down without supply management, and it will make business less stable for farmers.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation reports the TPP would amount to the most significant expansion of copyright terms in two decades. The group says the TPP proposes to extend copyright on works created by individuals to life plus 70 years. (In Canada, it's currently life plus 50 years). It would also expand copyright owned by corporations to 95 or 120 years after creation, depending on which proposal is accepted. This would ensure that Mickey Mouse (born 1928) would continue to be owned by Disney and would not become part of the public domain. Critics of lengthy copyright terms argue they are bad for economic development because they restrict innovation.
The U.S. and Australia apparently want tougher rules for "fair use" exceptions from copyright law. Currently, people are allowed to copy parts of textbooks for educational purposes, or quote copyrighted materials in news articles. But a proposed "three-step test" for fair use could make it considerably harder for people to use parts of copyrighted materials in these ways.
Pictured: U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)
Some U.S. politicians have been pressuring President Barack Obama to open up the TPP talks to greater public scrutiny. The latest is Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, who sent a letter to the Obama administration earlier this month asking the U.S. Trade Representative to make a copy of the negotiating text available to the public. "Without transparency, the benefit from robust democratic participation — an open marketplace of ideas — is considerably reduced," she wrote.
