"…… Should I use Doctors and Drugs to Heal Me or Spiritual Methods?
"Dear Kryon, I have heard that you should stay natural and not use the science on the planet for healing. It does not honor God to go to a doctor. After all, don't you say that we can heal with our minds? So why should we ever go to a doctor if we can do it ourselves? Not only that, my doctor isn't enlightened, so he has no idea about my innate or my spiritual body needs. What should I do?"
First, Human Being, why do you wish to put so many things in boxes? You continue to want a yes and no answer for complex situations due to your 3D, linear outlook on almost everything. Learn to think out of the 3D box! Look at the heading of this section [above]. It asks which one should you do. It already assumes you can't do both because they seem dichotomous.
Let's use some spiritual logic: Here is a hypothetical answer, "Don't go to a doctor, for you can heal everything with your mind." So now I will ask: How many of you can do that in this room right now? How many readers can do that with efficiency right now? All of you are old souls, but are you really ready to do that? Do you know how? Do you have really good results with it? Can you rid disease and chemical imbalance with your mind right now?
I'm going to give you a truth, whether you choose to see it or not. You're not ready for that! You are not yet prepared to take on the task of full healing using your spiritual tools. Lemurians could do that, because Pleiadians taught them how! It's one of the promises of God, that there'll come a day when your DNA works that efficiently and you will be able to walk away from drug chemistry and the medical industry forever, for you'll have the creator's energy working at 100 percent, something you saw within the great masters who walked the earth.
This will be possible within the ascended earth that you are looking forward to, dear one. Have you seen the news lately? Look out the window. Is that where you are now? We are telling you that the energy is going in that direction, but you are not there yet.
Let those who feel that they can heal themselves begin the process of learning how. Many will be appreciative of the fact that you have some of the gifts for this now. Let the process begin, but don't think for a moment that you have arrived at a place where every health issue can be healed with your own power. You are students of a grand process that eventually will be yours if you wish to begin the quantum process of talking to your cells. Some will be good at this, and some will just be planting the seeds of it.
Now, I would like to tell you how Spirit works and the potentials of what's going to happen in the next few years. We're going to give the doctors of the planet new inventions and new science. These will be major discoveries about the Human body and of the quantum attributes therein.
Look at what has already happened, for some of this science has already been given to you and you are actually using it. Imagine a science that would allow the heart to be transplanted because the one you have is failing. Of course! It's an operation done many times a month on this planet. That information came from the creator, did you realize that? It didn't drop off the shelf of some dark energy library to be used in evil ways.
So, if you need a new heart, Lightworker, should you go to the doctor or create one with your mind? Until you feel comfortable that you can replace your heart with a new one by yourself, then you might consider using the God-given information that is in the hands of the surgeon. For it will save your life, and create a situation where you stay and continue to send your light to the earth! Do you see what we're saying?
You can also alter that which is medicine [drugs] and begin a process that is spectacular in its design, but not very 3D. I challenge you to begin to use what I would call the homeopathic principle with major drugs. If some of you are taking major drugs in order to alter your chemistry so that you can live better and longer, you might feel you have no choice. "Well, this is keeping me alive," you might say. "I don't yet have the ability to do this with my consciousness, so I take the drugs."
In this new energy, there is something else that you can try if you are in this category. Do the following with safety, intelligence, common sense and logic. Here is the challenge: The principle of homeopathy is that an almost invisible tincture of a substance is ingested and is seen by your innate. Innate "sees" what you are trying to do and then adjusts the body's chemistry in response. Therefore, you might say that you are sending the body a "signal for balance." The actual tincture is not large enough to affect anything chemically - yet it works!
The body [innate] sees what you're trying to do and then cooperates. In a sense, you might say the body is healing itself because you were able to give it instructions through the homeopathic substance of what to do. So, why not do it with a major drug? Start reducing the dosage and start talking to your cells, and see what happens. If you're not successful, then stop the reduction. However, to your own amazement, you may often be successful over time.
You might be able to take the dosage that you're used to and cut it to at least a quarter of what it was. It is the homeopathy principle and it allows you to keep the purpose of the drug, but reduce it to a fraction of a common 3D dosage. You're still taking it internally, but now it's also signaling in addition to working chemically. The signal is sent, the body cooperates, and you reduce the chance of side effects.
You can't put things in boxes of yes or no when it comes to the grand system of Spirit. You can instead use spiritual logic and see the things that God has given you on the planet within the inventions and processes. Have an operation, save your life, and stand and say, "Thank you, God, for this and for my being born where these things are possible." It's a complicated subject, is it not? Each of you is so different! You'll know what to do, dear one. Never stress over that decision, because your innate will tell you what is appropriate for you if you're willing to listen. …."

Provinces required to establish women, children`s empowerment centers
Antara News, Wed, February 23 2011
Padang, West Sumatra (ANTARA News) - State Minister for Women`s Empowerment Linda Amalia Sari Gumelar has asked all provinces and districts to establish an Integrated Service for Women and Children Empowerment (P2TP2A).
"All provinces and districts in Indonesia should establish P2TP2A," Linda Amalia Sari Gumelar said in a function to open Women Organization Coordinating Board Regional Meeting here on Wednesday.
Linda explained from 2002 - 2007 the State Minister for Women`s Empowerment and Child Protection had facilitated the establishment of 17 P2TP2A in 17 provinces and 80 districts/municipalities.
"Unfortunately not all centers function as expected, and therefore the Women`s Empowerment Ministry will cooperate with regional governments to organize training and capacity building," Linda said.
According to her, things like that should be a concern of all parties because the evaluation results of P2TP2A implementation indicated that limited human resources and infrastructure had become obstacles so far.
"Therefore we ask for cooperation of local governments to create a network strengthening programs," Lind said.
She explained that P2TP2A was a community-based container service to women`s empowerment and child protection.
Linda said P2TP2A had a role in a bid to fulfill the need for improvement in education, health, economy, and for the management of violent acts against women and children.

28 penitentiary officers dismissed for drugs
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Tue, 02/22/2011
Twenty-eight penitentiary officers were dismissed last year for involvement in drug cases, an official said Tuesday.
"Some of them used drugs, some sold them and some others helped smuggle drugs into the penitentiaries," said Bambang Sumardyono, head of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights prevention and enforcement sub-directorate within the directorate general of correctional affairs.
Most of the dismissed officers were from North Sumatra and Jakarta, Bambang said in Jakarta, as quoted by Antara.
He said that their cases had been transferred to the police for legal processing.
In anticipation of such offenses, Bambang said that the directorate had established a task force in 2006 involving the police to conduct operations in penitentiaries.
Devices to bar cellular phones and sound recorders were also used to prevent criminal activity, he added.

Dementia 'not normal part of ageing' say scientists
Dementia is not a normal part of growing old, scientists have insisted as they step up calls for more investment in research.
The telegraph, by Martin Beckford, Health Correspondent, 10 Feb 2011
Experts claim they are close to developing effective treatments for the degenerative conditions that will soon affect a million people in Britain.
They want to dismiss the idea that diseases such as Alzheimer's, which lead to memory loss and a gradual decline in capabilities, are an inevitable part of the ageing process that await us all.
But they say that dementia remains the "poor relation" to cancer and heart disease in terms of research funding, and so more people will suffer unnecessarily unless Government, private companies and the public increase investment.
Professor Julie Williams, a researcher at Cardiff University who has discovered genes linked to Alzheimer's disease, said: "We're on the verge of a profound understanding of dementia and one that could lead us to the treatments we need, but we need help to get there.
"Investing in dementia research now will pay dividends, heading off the forecast explosion in numbers living with the condition and the crippling economic costs that come alongside."
Professor Kevin Morgan, of the University of Nottingham, who is Scientific Adviser for Alzheimer's Research UK, added: "Dementia is not a normal part of ageing – it is caused by brain diseases that we can beat, but we need more investment in the research that will give us answers."
As The Daily Telegraph disclosed, Alzheimer's Research UK has launched a new drive to increase funding to improve diagnosis and treatment of dementia.
There are fears that without the same "aggressive" research as was used to target HIV in the 1980s, Britain faces a "dementia catastrophe" that will cost the economy billions and ruin thousands of lives.
Julian Huppert, the MP for Cambridge who hosted the charity's re-launch in Westminster, said: "The impact of dementia is devastating, affecting not just the individual and the people around them, but costing the UK economy over £23 billion a year."

2 men nabbed with 6.2 kg of crystal meth from Malaysia
The Jakarta Post, Mon, 02/21/2011
Two men have been arrested for their alleged attempt to smuggle 6.2 kilograms of shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine) from Malaysia to Jakarta, police say.
Afnal, 33, and Ismail, 31, were arrested at the Bakauheni port in Lampung early on Saturday morning, National Police spokesman Snr.Com. Boy Rafli Amar said Monday in Aceh as reported by kompas.com.
The drugs, contained in coffee packages in bags belonging to Ismail and Afnalas, were uncovered by police officers who checked the luggage of passengers on a Lorena bus at the port.
Worth an estimated Rp 5.5 billion (US$590,000), the drugs are thought to have been smuggled from Malaysia through Belawan port in North Sumatra, and would have been taken to Jakarta, Boy said.

Police in South Jakarta say they are coordinating with the United States Embassy to formally question the American boyfriend of a teenage girl whose body was found dumped in a gutter on Sunday.
An autopsy revealed the girl, Agnes Kharisma, 19, had been raped and strangled three days prior to the discovery of her body. She had also reportedly been robbed of Rp 1 million.
Jagakarsa Police chief of detectives First Insp. Rusdi Dalby told news portal Detik.com on Friday that Agnes was last seen by her family on Tuesday as she left to meet her boyfriend, a 50-year-old American identified as Clark. He reportedly lives in Cilegon, Banten.
Rusdi said Clark, however, told police informally that he had not seen her.
It has previously been reported that Clark's driver had picked Agnes up from her home in Lenteng Agung, as he had done on a number of prior occasions.
Dalby said the police had not officially questioned Clark or his driver because they were still coordinating with the US Embassy.
"We must interrogate the boyfriend, then the driver. We can't be reckless because the case involves a foreigner. We are still coordinating," he said.

Hospital Guards Allegedly Ditch Mentally Ill Man in Field

Police have questioned four security guards from a Bogor hospital after they allegedly dumped a mentally ill man in a field near the North Bogor Police subprecinct station.
Adj. Comr. Ilot Djuanda of the North Bogor Police confirmed on Thursday that the victim, identified as Angga Nugraha, was now being treated at Marzuki Mahdi psychiatric hospital in Bogor.
Ilot said that when police discovered the victim, they rushed him to a 24-hour clinic, which sent him on to Salak Hospital for further evaluation. Angga needed psychiatric care, so he was then transferred to Marzuki Mahdi Hospital.
"We received a complaint from a resident who I shall only identify as Suratman," Ilot said. "Suratman told our officers that he saw four security guards from Azra Hospital carrying the man, Angga, and dumping him in a field nearby. So, we checked and yes, we found him."
Ilot said Angga was discovered curled up in an empty field not far from the North Bogor Police station. He said residents who came across Angga initially feared he was dead because he was so still.
"When police arrived, we found him sleeping and in a very poor condition," Ilot added. "He was wearing shorts and a white T-shirt. He was walking by the time we got to Salak Hospital, but was limping. The limp looks like it is from an old injury," he said.
Ilot added that police had questioned the four security guards from Azra Hospital and said they admitted to taking Angga, who was not a patient there, to the field. According to Ilot, the security guards said Angga, a resident of Darmaraja district in Sumedang, West Java, was causing a disturbance in the hospital parking lot.
When Angga wouldn't leave, the guards decided to carry him to the field, Ilot said, adding that the security guards had suspected he was suffering from mental illness.
"Whatever the reason, what they did was inhumane," Ilot said. "Why didn't they just bring him to us at the station?"
North Bogor Police subprecinct chief Comr. R. Lubis said the security guards had just been questioned and no formal charges had been laid.
"We regret their actions," he said. "Our subprecinct office is so close to the hospital. Why didn't they call us?"
Meanwhile, Suwignyo, human resources manager at Azra Hospital, denied that the security guards had "dumped" the sick man in the field, saying that they had just "moved" him to another location.
"Our security guards tried to get rid of him, but he refused to leave," he said. "And then he ended up sleeping near the security guard's post, so they had to move him. It was just across the road, nobody dumped him.
"The security guards thought he was just a stressed out sick man who lived nearby."
When asked why the hospital did not contact police about this man, Suwignyo said, "the guards said he looked clean and had clean skin. We did not want to alarm anybody."
Mentally ill people often fail to receive proper treatment in Indonesia. According to a 2007 Health Ministry survey, 4.6 percent of the population suffers from serious mental disorders, including schizophrenia.

111 charged in Medicare scams worth $225 million
AP, KELLI KENNEDY, Associated Press, Feb. 17, 2011
MIAMI (AP) — Federal authorities have charged more than 100 doctors, nurses and physical therapists in nine cities with Medicare fraud as part of a massive bust.
More than 700 law enforcement agents fanned out to arrest 111 people accused of illegally billing Medicare more than $225 million.
The arrests are the latest in a string of major busts in the past two years as authorities have struggled to pare the fraud that's believed to cost the government between $60 billion and $90 billion each year.
Stopping Medicare's budget from hemorrhaging that money will be key to paying for President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
Authorities say the scams included billing for toenail removals that were unnecessary and hemorrhoid removals that were never performed.

Ban caramel colouring in soft drinks, group urges
CTV.ca, News Staff, Date: Feb. 16 2011
A widely used caramel food colouring, found in soft drinks such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi, contains two cancer-causing chemicals and should be banned, a U.S. consumer advocacy group told the Food and Drug Administration Wednesday.
|An image illustrating the ingredients in a soft drink
is shown on the Center for Science in the Public
Interest (CSPI) website. (Jorge Bach / CSPI)
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) says two approved versions to colour food products include ammonia and produce compounds that caused cancers in animal studies. According to the CSPI, there are four kinds of caramel colouring approved by the FDA, two with ammonia and two without.
The group is petitioning for a ban of the ammonia-containing caramels, which contain the substances it says are carcinogenic: 2 methylimidazole (2-MI) and 4 methylimidazole (4-MI).
"For a cancer-causing chemical, cancer experts agree that there is no safe level. That the greater the amount, the greater the risk," CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson told CTV News Channel in an interview from Washington.
"But even at very low levels, there's a proportionately small risk. And in this case, the contaminants are not highly potent carcinogens… it's the kind of small risk that government agencies should be concerned about and get them out of the food supply."
Obesity caused by excessive amounts of sugar in soda is still a greater health threat, but the chemical reaction caused by ammonia and sugar "may be causing thousands of cancers in the U.S. population," the CSPI said in a statement, citing government research on animals.
Jacobson said California is considering regulation that would force some soft drinks to carry a cancer warning on their labels.
The American Beverage Industry quickly refuted the CSPI's claims, saying in a statement that 4-MI, which it identified as 4-MEI, "is not a threat to human health."
The statement went on: "There is no evidence that 4-MEI causes cancer in humans. No health regulatory agency around the globe, including the Food and Drug Administration, has said that 4-MEI is a human carcinogen. This petition is nothing more than another attempt to scare consumers by an advocacy group long-dedicated to attacking the food and beverage industry."
Adding to the confusion for consumers, the ABA pointed to a report by the U.S. National Toxicology Program, which conducted the studies cited by the CSPI, which does not identify 4-MEI as a carcinogen.
Jacobson said "shreds of evidence" that the substances may contribute to cancer date back to 1985, but acknowledged that major studies only began in the last few years.
But still, he said consumers should limit the amount of soda they consume for a variety of health reasons.
"The colas have the sugar that causes tooth decay, promotes obesity, phosphoric acid that erodes tooth enamel, caffeine that may keep people awake or make them jittery, and now these contaminants that pose a cancer risk," he said.

Iranian arrested for allegedly smuggling drugs
Hans David Tampubolon, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Thu, 02/17/2011
The Jakarta Police arrested Thursday an Iranian for allegedly smuggling crystal methamphetamine, locally known as sabu, to Indonesia and Japan.
According to Jakarta Police's Director for Drugs Resort Sr. Comr. Anjan Pramuka Putra, the police caught the suspect undercover, engaging in a transaction at a hotel on Sunday. The suspect, whose initials are M.R.A., demanded that the undercover officer showed US$40,000 to pay for the drugs.
"After we showed the money, the suspect showed the drugs. That's when officers caught M.R.A. red-handed with 400 grams of sabu as evidence," he said.
"This Iranian national acts as a stock keeper because nobody else is carrying [the drugs]. M.R.A. also takes sabu to Japan, thus making us refer to [the suspect] as being part of an international network," Anjan said.
He added that M.R.A. was unrelated to other Iranian nationals previously arrested for drug-related causes.
The police also caught two other suspects, whose identities have not been revealed, separately from M.R.A.
All three have been charged with the 2009 Drug Law, with the maximum sentence being death.

Negative experiences can stop painkillers working
BBC News, By James Gallagher ,Health reporter, 16 February 2011
Related Stories
A patient's belief that a drug will not work can become a self fulfilling prophecy, according to researchers.
|Negative thoughts rendered painkillers ineffective
They showed the benefits of painkillers could be boosted or completely wiped out by manipulating expectations.
The study, published in Science Translational Medicine, also identifies the regions of the brain which are affected.
Experts said this could have important consequences for patient care and for testing new drugs.
Heat was applied to the legs of 22 patients, who were asked to report the level of pain on a scale of one to 100. They were also attached to an intravenous drip so drugs could be administered secretly.
The initial average pain rating was 66. Patients were then given a potent painkiller, remifentanil, without their knowledge and the pain score went down to 55.
They were then told they were being given a painkiller and the score went down to 39.
Then, without changing the dose, the patients were then told the painkiller had been withdrawn and to expect pain, and the score went up to 64.
So even though the patients were being given remifentanil, they were reporting the same level of pain as when they were getting no drugs at all.
Professor Irene Tracey, from Oxford University, told the BBC: "It's phenomenal, it's really cool. It's one of the best analgesics we have and the brain's influence can either vastly increase its effect, or completely remove it."
The study was conducted on healthy people who were subjected to pain for a short period of time. She said people with chronic conditions who had unsuccessfully tried many drugs for many years would have built up a much greater negative experience, which could impact on their future healthcare.
Professor Tracey said: "Doctors need more time for consultation and to investigate the cognitive side of illness, the focus is on physiology not the mind, which can be a real roadblock to treatment."
Brain scans during the experiment also showed which regions of the brain were affected.
The expectation of positive treatment was associated with activity in the cingulo-frontal and subcortical brain areas while the negative expectation led to increased activity in the hippocampus and the medial frontal cortex.
Researchers also say the study raises concerns about clinical trials used to determine the effectiveness of drugs.
George Lewith, professor of health research at the University of Southampton, said: "It's another piece of evidence that we get what we expect in life.
"It completely blows cold randomised clinical trials, which don't take into account expectation."
Information Body Urges Health Ministry to Name Allegedly Contaminated Milk Brands
Jakarta Globe, Markus Junianto Sihaloho | February 16, 2011

The Commission for Public Information was under strong pressure on Wednesday to order the Ministry of Health to immediately release the names of infant formula brands that were allegedly tainted by bacteria.
David ML Tobing, a father of two children, filed a complaint at the commission's office in Jakarta.
A statement by the commission, also known as KIP, said David had filed a complaint regarding the ministry's ongoing refusal to announce the names of the brands, despite an order from the Supreme Court that it do so.
In its verdict issued in April 2010, the Supreme Court ordered the ministry, Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM) and the Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB) to name the brands.
KIP member Abdul Rahman Ma'mun said they would intensify communications with the three institutions regarding the matter.
He said that according to the Freedom of Information Law, the names must be released.
The Health Ministry has previously stated that it could not name names because it did not know which brands were affected.
The case goes back to a study published in 2008 by the Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB), which found five of 22 formula milk samples tested from 2003 to 2006 were contaminated.
In certain amounts, the bacteria is known to cause diarrhea and even meningitis in newborn babies.

Pediatrics report details risks from energy drinks
AP, LINDSEY TANNER, AP Medical Writer
CHICAGO (AP) — Energy drinks are under-studied, overused and can be dangerous for children and teens, warns a report by doctors who say kids shouldn't use the popular products.
The potential harms, caused mostly by too much caffeine or similar ingredients, include heart palpitations, seizures, strokes and even sudden death, the authors write in the medical journal Pediatrics. They reviewed data from the government and interest groups, scientific literature, case reports and articles in popular and trade media.
Dakota Sailor, 18, a high school senior in Carl Junction, Mo., says risks linked with energy drinks aren't just hype.
Sailor had a seizure and was hospitalized for five days last year after drinking two large energy drinks — a brand he'd never tried before. He said his doctor thinks caffeine or caffeine-like ingredients may have been to blame.
The report says some cans have four to five times more caffeine than soda, and Sailor said some kids he knows "drink four or five of them a day. That's just dumb."
Sailor has sworn off the drinks and thinks other kids should, too.
The report's authors want pediatricians to routinely ask patients and their parents about energy drink use and to advise against drinking them.
"We would discourage the routine use" by children and teens, said Dr. Steven Lipshultz, pediatrics chairman at the University of Miami's medical school. He wrote the report with colleagues from that center.
The report says energy drinks often contain ingredients that can enhance the jittery effects of caffeine or that can have other side effects including nausea and diarrhea. It says they should be regulated as stringently as tobacco, alcohol and prescription medicines.
"For most children, adolescents, and young adults, safe levels of consumption have not been established," the report said.
Introduced more than 20 years ago, energy drinks are the fastest growing U.S. beverage market; 2011 sales are expected to top $9 billion, the report said. It cites research suggesting that about one-third of teens and young adults regularly consume energy drinks. Yet research is lacking on risk from long-term use and effects in kids — especially those with medical conditions that may increase the dangers, the report said.
The report comes amid a crackdown on energy drinks containing alcohol and caffeine, including recent Food and Drug Administration warning letters to manufacturers and bans in several states because of alcohol overdoses.
The report focuses on nonalcoholic drinks but emphasizes that drinking them along with alcohol is dangerous.
The American Association of Poison Control Centers adopted codes late last year to start tracking energy drink overdoses and side effects nationwide; 677 cases occurred from October through December; so far, 331 have been reported this year.
Most 2011 cases involved children and teens. Of the more than 300 energy drink poisonings this year, a quarter of them involved kids younger than 6, according to a data chart from the poison control group.
That's a tiny fraction of the more than 2 million poisonings from other substances reported to the group each year. But the chart's list of reported energy drink-related symptoms is lengthy, including seizures, hallucinations, rapid heart rate, chest pain, high blood pressure and irritability, but no deaths.
Monday's paper doesn't quantify drink-related complications or deaths. It cites other reports on a few deaths in Europe of teens or young adults who mixed the drinks with alcohol, or who had conditions like epilepsy that may have increased the risks.
Maureen Storey, senior vice president of science policy at the American Beverage Association, an industry group, said the report "does nothing more than perpetuate misinformation" about energy drinks.
Many of the drinks contain much less caffeine than coffee from popular coffeehouses, and caffeine amounts are listed on many of the products, she said in a written statement.
Caffeine is safe, but those who are sensitive to it can check the labels, she said.
A clinical report on energy drinks is expected soon from the American Academy of Pediatrics that may include guidelines for doctors.
Dr. Marcie Schneider, an adolescent medicine specialist in Greenwich, Conn., and member of the academy's nutrition committee, praised Monday's report for raising awareness about the risks.
"These drinks have no benefit, no place in the diet of kids," Schneider said.

US pharm industry creates diseases to cure them
RT, 14 February, 2011
US pharmaceutical companies get creative when it comes to disorders and drugs to treat almost anything, from canine depression to female sexual dysfunction.
The American drug trade is a multi-billion-dollar business, and is only getting bigger. Meanwhile the industry has been accused of illegally pushing medicine onto the market, often endangering the lives of patients.
In the US, the most common medication prescribed for dogs is to treat aggression and anxiety disorders. Pharmacists admit that Prozac works terrifically on dogs.
Yes, there is such a thing as doggy Prozac, a beef-flavored version of the well-known "human" anti-depressant, government-approved and being proscribed by veterinarians for canines in crisis.
"There is a significant population of dogs which is really suffering from separation anxiety," reveals veterinary behaviorist E'Lise Christensen, from NYC Vet Specialists.
The drug company, one of the largest, is banking on that. They believe up to 17 per cent of US dogs are suffering from this mental affliction. It is an idea some would scoff at, and as Christensen says "I definitely understand being skeptical."
"Companies are desperate to keep up their profit margin, and do things to keep the margin up, even though the number of new drugs that are important in the pipeline has diminished," argues Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of Public Citizen's Health Research.
It turns out those companies do not need doggy drugs in order for critics to make that case. Medical researchers have crunched the numbers and found the pharmaceutical industry now tops the defense industry as the number one defrauder of the US government.
"That was a finding that I didn't expect. No one had really ever looked at it before and it shows you how out-of-control really the pharmaceutical industry really is," Dr. Sidney Wolfe said.
In some cases it is criminally out of control, perhaps helping this industry go from selling US$40 billion to $234 billion a year in prescription drugs. Over the last two decades, companies have been cheating and endangering patients. Their biggest violations are overcharging the government by billions and illegally marketing their drugs to treat conditions for which they have not proven safe or effective.
One of the largest criminal penalties ever levied against an American corporation involved the drugs giant Pfizer. The illegal practices included essentially hiring positions despite the buzz about the drug, telling their colleagues to prescribe it for a condition it was not approved for.
And when it comes to the drug companies, disease-pushers may not be an unfair way of describing them, as well as drug pushers – that is what one filmmaker found when tracing a newly-minted disorder.
"Female sexual dysfunction itself is something the pharm industry really pushed for and had a hand in creating," believes Liz Canner, filmmaker of Orgasm Inc.
That is the conclusion Canner came to after following the process of a drug company developing female Viagra. She says only a small number of women need it, but the company has other plans.
"Their marketing and the amount of money they're pouring into it really says they're trying to sell this to the whole population," insists Liz Canner.
And with commercials for prescription drugs airing on TV in the US, companies are in a position to do just that.
With billions being made and not much to lose, critics say even in the case of crime, for this industry nothing is likely to change.
"Unless people go to jail unless the fines are much larger than they have been the companies will find that it's cheaper to cheat" Dr. Sidney Wolfe said.
Companies that stop short of nothing to find some-syndrome, someone or something new to medicate.

Doctors asked to prescribe generic drugs
Antara News, Sun, February 13 2011
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Coordinating Minister for People`s Welfare Agung Laksono has reminded that doctors in all government hospital and other health care centers should prescribe generic drugs for their patients.
"It has been regulated that doctors at government health facility centers are obliged to prescribe generic drugs for their patients," the coordinating minister said here on Sunday.
With the prescription, patients could obtain generic drugs at pharmacies or at non-government health facility centers, he said.
He said that the aim of generic drug prescription was to alleviate the burden of patients and their families in buying medicines.
The prescription of cheaper generic drugs is also intended to inform people that they should not merely be tempted to purchase expensive drugs which might not be more effective than generic ones.
He said that generic drugs also came from branded medicines whose patent rights had expired so that their production cost was lower.
Therefore, he said, the popularization of generic drugs should be focused not only on low prices but also on their quality which was relatively the same as that of branded ones.
"Therefore, doctors and health workers at government hospitals, including at public health care centers, play a decisive role in encouraging people to use generic drugs," he said.

Semarang councillors caught with 'shabu-shabu' in Bali
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 02/04/2011
Two Semarang City Council members were allegedly caught with crystal methamphetamine, or shabu-shabu, in Bali.
Bambang Sutrisno is head of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) faction at the Semarang City Council, and Edy Purwanto is a member of the Democratic Party faction at the council.
The Bali Police's narcotics division is still investigating the case. The two councillors were caught after police raided the Ramayana Hotel in Kuta.
"They visited the Badung administration as part of their work together with an entourage on Tuesday, Feb. 2," Bali Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Gede Sugianyar Dwi Putra said Friday, as quoted by kompas.com.
"Both suspects had not used the drugs yet," Gede said.

Charlotte Motor Speedway Announces 2013 Russ Catlin Awards For Excellence
Posted by: newsla on May 18, 2014 - 07:04 AM
Charlotte Motor Speedway Announces 2013 Russ Catlin Awards For Excellence In Motorsports Journalism
The 29th annual Charlotte Motor Speedway Russ Catlin Awards for Excellence in Motorsports Journalism ceremony was held today, honoring five individuals with the most sought-after accolades in motorsports media. This yearâs honorees are Nate Ryan (USA Today), J.A. Ackley (Dick Berggrenâs Speedway Illustrated), Lauren Stowell (ESPN), Chris Weaver (WGHP FOX8) and Mark J. Rebilas (USA Today Sports) for their outstanding work in 2013.
This year marked Ryanâs fifth time receiving the award (2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013). It was the second time receiving the honor for Stowell (2010, 2013) and Rebilas (2010, 2013). It was the sixth time that a representative from USA Today was honored with the award, the ninth time for ESPN and the second time for WGHP FOX8.
The awards, which pay homage to motorsports journalism pioneer Russ Catlin, recognize the best motorsports coverage in five categories: Daily and Non-Daily Writing, National and Local Broadcast and Photojournalism. Entries are open to all forms of motorsports coverage and no affiliation or membership is required for participation.
âThe quality of this yearâs entries reflects how gifted and talented our journalists are,â said Scott Cooper, Vice President of Communications at Charlotte Motor Speedway. âWe understand the time, effort and sacrifice it takes to cover such a demanding sport. They do an unbelievable job conveying the thrills, the excitement and the passion of motorsports. We appreciate all of our journalistsâ efforts and are excited to reward the best of the best.â
Russ Catlin was a forerunner of motorsports public relations and journalism. Catlin was one of the best known racing writers and historians, contributing articles and information to Speed Age, Automobile Quarterly, Open Wheel and numerous other publications. Catlin served as publicist for Darlington Raceway during the 1960s and guided several influential figures in the motorsports field, including former Charlotte Motor Speedway General Manager Humpy Wheeler, who established the awards in his honor.
As in years past, The Indiana University School of Journalism judged the entries and determined the winners. All five winners were given a trophy and were awarded a $1,000 scholarship in their name to the school of their choice. The recipients also had their names engraved on the perpetual trophy kept at Charlotte Motor Speedway that lists all of the past winners.
The award has been among the most coveted in motorsports journalism since it began in 1985. Reporters from top media outlets such as USA Today, CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, New York Times and The Washington Post have all been past winners. The 2013 Charlotte Motor Speedway Russ Catlin Awards for Excellence in Motorsports Journalism are as follows:
Writing â Daily
Nate Ryan â USA Today

Scholarship: Northwestern University
Writing â Non-Daily
J.A. Ackley â Dick Berggrenâs Speedway Illustrated
Entry: âTire Dopingâ
Judges' Comments: The reporter educates readers on an important and timely topic while revealing a complex issue in motorsports. What could have been a dry report is brought to life by extensive reporting, lively writing and interviews from sources with a variety of perspectives.

Broadcast â Local
Chris Weaver â WGHP FOX8, High Point, NC
Entry: âRacing at Bowman Gray Stadiumâ
Judgesâ Comments: This piece captures the viewersâ attention with great camera work, fast-paced shots, and nice natural sound. But it also tells an interesting narrative and it is clear that there was a lot of work put into interviewing a variety of people over a span of many days. The combination of visuals, audio and storytelling that went into this piece make it a stand out from the rest. This work makes Bowman Gray come to life on the screen.
Scholarship: UNC-Greensboro
Broadcast â National
Lauren Stowell â ESPN
Entry: âRichie Parker â Driveâ
Judgesâ Comments: This piece combines excellent videography, interviews, natural sound and narrative to tell a compelling story. Itâs clear the reporter invested time in getting to know Richie Parker. The story provides a look behind-the-scenes of a successful NASCAR team yet avoids being a cliché.
Scholarship: University of Connecticut
Mark J. Rebilas â USA Today Sports
Entry: âTumble of Terrorâ
Judgesâ Comments: A lot of sports photography involves being in the right place at the right time, which this photographer obviously was. However, also notable are the excellent focus, framing and exposure of the wreck. This photo draws the viewers, who then stay to examine the details.
Scholarship: Shoot Off Visual Media Workshops

Kris Jenner just posted a collage of her happy family as a tribute on Independence Day — but she made one obvious omission.
Jenner made a sweet photo collage of daughters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie to celebrate the Fourth of July, but she left out 27-year-old son Rob Kardashian.
Kris Jenner didn't offer any explanation as to why Rob was snubbed, but there have been reports of a rift in the family in recent weeks. A few weeks ago Rob skipped out on sister Kim's wedding to Kanye West, leaving at the last minute and catching a flight back to Los Angeles.
Insiders said that Rob was upset about his weight gain, which he has been fighting to maintain in recent months.
Other sources have said that Rob has been keeping his distance from family members.
Kris has spoken out, saying that Rob is trying hard to get his life back on track.
"He's struggling," Kris Jenner told E!
Earlier this year, sources told TMZ that that entire Kardashian/Jenner clan was growing worried about Rob's behavior. He was photographed at a party holding a double cup, which is commonly used for the codeine-infused drink Sizzurp. To further the speculation, the side of the cup read "Codeine Boys." Rob also appeared to be smoking marijuana.
Other sources claim that the pressure of being in such a famous family, combined with depression from being unable to get his weight under control, has sent Rob spiraling deeper into drug use.
It's unclear if Kris Jenner's collage snub was part of a family rift, or simply a matter of practicality. Each of the pictures of her daughters showed them in red, white, and blue, with many of them modeling shots. It could be that she simply didn't have an appropriate picture of her son handy.
The snub of her son Rob Kardashian didn't seem to stop Kris Jenner or the rest of the family from celebrating Independence Day. Khloe held a huge party at TAO nightclub in Las Vegas on Friday, with Rob reportedly in attendance.

Parents Canada: $32 Voucher For a Foldable Kids Play Tent
Parents Canada has $32 vouchers for a foldable kids play tent from The Daily Depot (a $119 value). There are choices for boys or girls and you may purchase an unlimited amount of vouchers. This cannot be combined with any other offers and no redemption necessary, just provide shipping info at checkout.
I truly would've loved these when my sons were little. I remember many times of throwing sheets and blankets over furniture just to make a little tent for them to play in. It was great for them, but quite the hassle for me as the sheet would have to be attached to something securely or you were forever reassembling the tent. If any of you have children that easily get bored on a day they can't go out, or you have a lot to do, try a tent, give them a little picnic lunch and you'll have a couple hours of peace and quiet.
These tents that Parents Canada is offering come in either pink or blue depending on whether it's for a boy or a girl and they come in a portable easy to carry case that folds easily into the closet. The tent is a high quality texture and needs to be for the beating it will take from children. The best feature is assembly, it is ready in minutes and you don't have to rearrange the furniture.
Be sure to visit our Parents Canada coupon page for the latest promo code giving you $3 off any purchase.
Shipping: $10

Ari Ben-Menashe, a Montreal-based consultant and former arms dealer with ties to African leaders, said he was approached by Griffiths Energy International Inc. to help the company secure oil and gas leases in Chad.
Mr. Ben-Menashe said he walked away from the task – and returned the money Griffiths Energy paid him – because he found the company's disclosure questionable.
"We were approached to intervene on Griffiths behalf with [Chad's] President [Idress] Derby," Mr. Ben-Menashe said. "We signed a consultancy deal and they paid us." He would not disclose how much the oil and gas company paid him.
"Once we realized things did not add up and there was no full disclosure on their activities about what they did in Chad, we pulled out and we even sent the money back," Mr. Ben-Menashe said. "We started looking into it. It didn't add up. All the pieces didn't add up and then we realized there wasn't full disclosure and we pulled out." Mr. Ben-Menashe would not say what triggered his concerns about Griffiths Energy.
In January, under a new management, Griffiths Energy paid a $10.35-million fine for bribing the wife of Mahamoud Bechir, Chad's former ambassador to Canada, in connection with the company's effort to convince the Chadian government to allow it to explore and produce oil in the country.
Griffiths Energy's link to Mr. Ben-Menashe, an international operator whose Montreal home was firebombed in December by an unknown assailant, demonstrates the connections the company was eager to forge to reach its goal. Griffiths Energy founder Brad Griffiths, who died while boating alone in July, 2011, worked extensively to make political connections with Chad officials, including Mr. Bechir, as part of the effort to secure oil leases, according to court filings.
Court documents filed last week included e-mails exchanged between Mr. Griffiths and lawyer Jacques Bouchard, referencing Mr. Ben-Menashe. Mr. Bouchard advised Griffiths Energy as a lawyer with Heenan Blaikie. He left the law firm in December, 2011, and Griffiths Energy then hired Norton Rose's Calgary predecessor, McLeod Dixon in January, 2011.
"Ambassador just called, his proposal on the economic terms for Chad would make the blocks worth about 20 cents. If Ari has those decrees I hope he also got the terms we talked about. If not he wasted a lot of time and money," said one e-mail, sent from Mr. Griffiths' BlackBerry on Nov. 16, 2010. The e-mails, including the typos, appear in documents filed in court last week.
On Nov. 24, 2010, Mr. Griffiths again referenced Mr. Ben-Menashe in an e-mail to Mr. Bouchard.
"Ambassador taking my new proposal directly to President within the hour. Proposal is silent on taxes and royalties. Partners have signed confidentiality agreements. We have offered a billion in infrastructure from our consortium. Ari called and said he is in Moscow this weekend. Will know status of blocks today. No idea where this is going," the e-mail said.
Arthur Porter, a Montreal doctor, resigned from his post as chair of Security Intelligence Review Committee, which oversees the country's spy agency, after his dealings with Mr. Ben-Menashe were revealed by the National Post, which has also reported on a previous working relationship between Mr. Ben-Menashe and Mr. Bouchard. Mr. Bouchard, Heenan Blaikie, Norton Rose and Mr. Ben-Menashe have not been accused of any wrongdoing involving Griffiths Energy.
Mr. Ben-Menashe served as a key witness in the treason trial against Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai. Mr. Tsvangirai was accused of plotting to assassinate President Robert Mugabe. Mr. Ben-Menashe, an international consultant, admitted he taped a meeting where Mr. Tsvangirai discussed Mr. Mugabe's "elimination," media reports from the 2003 trial say. A Zimbabwe court threw out the case against Mr. Tsvangirai, finding Mr. Ben-Menashe lacked credibility.Report Typo/Error

Making Cents of Life
In our earliest years and often in our last ones, we're utterly dependent on loved ones for financial support. In between — the game of life — we're left to fend for ourselves.
An allowance becomes a paycheck. The spring break fund morphs into an account for our own kids' college educations. Mortgages, investments, retirement — the world of personal finance can seem like a dizzying maze. Let AU professor Mark Waldman help you.
"This course is my personal crusade," says Mark Waldman, who has taught Personal Finance 200 to "civilians — not business majors" at AU for 25 years. His students, freshmen to seniors, want the same real world knowledge as the clients he's been advising for 30 years.
"What I really teach them is what Eleanor Roosevelt said when they asked her philosophy of life: she said 'choose and pay the price.' The problem is most people don't even know that they're making choices. Then they wake up in their 40s or 50s and the range of what they can achieve is so reduced.
"That's why I teach."
The big ticket idea
I tell students they ought to take life seriously. It's not just get drunk and get laid.
The people who get a lot work for it every day. It's not luck.
Once they have goals, I teach them time-value of money techniques so that they can figure out what those goals are going to cost when they want to achieve them, and how much it's going to cost them each month to reach those goals.
You'd be surprised how little it can be over a 50-year period. Once you know that you need to be putting away, let's say $120 a month, well, where are you going to get it? You look at your budget, your personal cash flow. It's not just, oh, this is money I don't get to enjoy.
You're buying financial freedom later on. To the extent you can do it that way, then your saving becomes a positive experience, and not just, oh man, I don't get to go out with my friends this weekend.
I tell them, if your friends try to convince you not to do this, you need new friends.
On getting rich
There's no secret to getting rich.
I try to get them to start investing as soon as possible, and to keep investing, no matter what happens. Do it in a Roth IRA, a traditional IRA. Just do it. Whether or not you do it is more important than how you do it.
If you start investing in your early 20s, pick either a good index or mutual fund or buy large dividend-paying stocks — like Johnson and Johnson, Proctor and Gamble, Coca-Cola, McDonald's — and keep buying those every month for 50 years, I think you're going to be rich.
Choose and pay the price
Everybody knows they need to save, just like everybody knows they need to eat better. Saving money for the future is not something that most people are motivated to do.
Most people wake up to this in their 40s. Then they know work sucks, you're starting to feel a little older, you feel the pressure of time.
I tell students, envision what you want your life to be like, and that's hard for a 22-year-old. Imagine that you can have what you want from life — what is that? Hardest question in the world.
If you can't tell me, you don't get it. It's like sitting on Santa's knee. But do it seriously. You owe it to yourself.
Suppose your target income for financial independence is $40,000 a year. Obviously not here in the Washington area, but you could live in North Dakota or South Carolina decently on $40,000 a year. There are a lot of people who do.
If $40,000 is your goal, you need to save a certain amount of money. Suppose $200,000 is your goal, then you have to save more and it's going to take you longer.
Is your partner a financial fit?
I talk about how to get married successfully from a financial point of view. Two things about getting married are really important: People have different styles with money. Divorce is financially one of the most destructive things you can ever have happen.
So if you're going to get married, you should try your hardest to stay married. Arguments over money are one of the leading causes of divorce in America. So what can you do to help it be financially successful?
Watch your beloved's style with money. Are they responsible? Are they reliable? Are they honest? If they're not, you're taking a huge risk by marrying them. Do they tend to be a saver or a spender? What's your style? What fits with you?
Show each other your credit reports before you're married to see if you're marrying someone's financial problems, too. Talk about financial goals. What are you planning to work towards as a couple? Is it, we're going to spend every penny and have the most fun we can possibly have before we burn out, or are we going to work together for a shared future?
I don't make value judgments about people's goals. What I preach is, you need to have goals and you should work toward those goals.
The math is very clear
As a financial advisor I have a lot of people come in, they're 50 years old, and they say, 'Tell me what I need to do to be able to retire.'
I look at what they have and I say, 'You're never retiring. You haven't saved enough.'
People will just be sobbing in my office. It's terribly painful, but it's true. I owe it to them to tell them the truth. 'If your goal is to have this much money in retirement, it's not possible because you have done nothing up to now.' Maybe they raised kids, everybody has reasons, but the math is very, very clear.
If these students start saving and investing now or in their early 20s, and do it right, it would take an asteroid hitting the planet to keep them from being wealthy later on.
Surprise! You'll work 50 years
Jaws drop a bit when I tell people that they're probably going to live to be 100 years old because of advances in health care. Then their jaws really drop when I tell them that their working life is going to be until about 75. That means they're going to work for 50 to 55 years, longer than any previous generation.
The biggest loser
Getting into debt is the biggest mistake, not just for young people. They're copying what they see their parents do. We put everything on our credit cards. It's so easy to spend more than you make.
Is a mortgage still "good debt?"
Mortgages are in the future. For a while, real estate prices were going up so fast, it was, 'Hey, stabilize your life, get on the ladder.' Well, the ladder is broken. Prices are not going up anytime soon. Some of these kids may never own a house.
Owning a house was always overrated. If you really do the numbers, there's maintenance, new furniture — you add in everything and the rate of return in real estate is about six percent. That's not great. The reason it seemed so dramatic was, people would own it for long periods of time. Well, the same thing happens if you own stocks for long periods of a time.
You have to live in your real estate. You can't sell off the rec room. A lot of these students are going to have to move around. In America today, if you want to get jobs, you have to be very mobile.

"Pray for Obama."
A kind and generous statement.
Or is it?
A crop of bumper stickers and T-shirts emblazoned with that call to prayer for the president have appeared for sale recently online through make-it-yourself outlets such as Zazzle.com and CafePress.com. And most of the "Pray for Obama" slogans are accompanied by a scripture reference: "Psalm 109:8."
In the New International Version translations, that verse reads;
May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
Aha! So, they're praying for Obama's tenure to be a short one. Fair enough. But what does that really mean?
A clue may be in the verses of the 109th Psalm that follow verse 8:
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.
May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation.
May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
May their sins always remain before the Lord, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
In that context, are these folks actually urging us to pray for Obama's death?
(The crashing sound you just heard may have been Jesus hurling his stapler across the office in frustration.)
The Christian Science Monitor examined the latest anti-Obama sloganeering and asked, "Use of Psalm 109:8 funny or sinister?"
The Monitor piece continued:
The slogan comes at a time of heightened concern about anti-government anger. Earlier this year, the president's senior adviser, David Axelrod, said that Tea Parties could lead to something unhealthy. In September, authorities shut down a poll on Facebook asking if President Obama should be killed.
Still, that doesn't push the Psalms citation into the realm of hate speech, says Chris Hansen, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The use of Psalm 109:8 is ambiguous as to whether its users are calling for the President to serve "only one term, or less than one term," he says.
Whether it's clever, funny or downright dangerous is a matter of opinion. Clearly, though, it's certainly not very nice.
There are "Pray for Obama" slogan products that bear an alternative scripture reference: 1 Timothy 2:1-2, which reads in the NIV:
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone
For kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
Do you pray for Obama? If so, what do you pray, and how?

Early in the third quarter, FSU quarterback E.J. Manuel rocketed a deep out pass that it seemed Marcus Roberson intercepted — but whether his cleats fell inside of play or out of bounds was questionable. The play inflicted controversy among officials as the play was dubbed for review.
Roberson said he himself wasn't even sure if he was inbounds.
However, the officials thought so, and the ruling on the field stood.
"I was just lucky enough for it to be called an interception," he said.
But it was when Florida was hanging on by the skin of its teeth in the fourth quarter that the sophomore made his most impressive defensive play of the evening. UF was barely leading FSU 23-20 when Noles punter Cason Beatty fired away a 54-yard punt to the UF18.
Roberson returned it, marking the play as Florida's longest punt return since 2008 with Brandon James' giveback versus Tennessee.
The Ft. Lauderdale native honed in on he and his team's ability to remain tenacious throughout the matchup, especially when Florida State pulled ahead 20-16 at the tip of the fourth quarter.
"We knew adversity was going to come, so we just stayed positive," Roberson said. "We know things like that are going to happen in the game, we just have to fight through every time."
Roberson, a St. Thomas Aquinas alum, has chalked up 11 games this season with 31 punt returns to date. He has 18 total tackles for his 2012 run. In regards to the FSU game, he said he was grateful to have solid blocks from his teammates and that this game just happened to be his moment.
"I feel like everybody is able to make plays," he said. "I was just lucky enough to have my chance."

Iran: Delivery of nuclear fuel - blow to American policy
Deputy Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council for International Affairs Javad Vaeedi said on Tuesday that delivery of nuclear fuel to Bushehr power plant would prevent a consensus on issuance of next UNSC resolution against Iran. Speaking to reporters, he said: "If the next UNSC resolution requires consensus, Russia will have to offer more evidences to approve it."
"I think the new development has created serious problems for the US and its allies and it is not easy for them to persuade Russia and China to pursue their policies," Vaeedi said, according to IRNA.
Some have claimed that since Russia has delivered nuclear fuel to Iran, the country should halt uranium enrichment which is an illogical reasoning, Vaeedi conveyed. "To generate nuclear electricity we need to construct domestic nuclear power plants and enrich uranium at home," he underlined.
"Natanz nuclear complex is able to enrich uranium for a 1000 megawatt nuclear power plant," Vaeedi said. According to him, Natanz unclear power plant is to be completed within the next three to four years.
He strongly rejected the idea that since Iran possesses huge oil and gas reserves, the country does not need to generate nuclear energy, adding that Russia is the biggest exporter of gas in the world and possess huge oil reserves but it has many nuclear power plants while at the same time enriching uranium for other countries and even constructing nuclear power plants for them.
He described delivery of nuclear fuel for Bushehr power plant as a great success for the Iranian nation and a move that has isolated the US more than ever before.

No more baby gates Review by Jada
Quality Value Price
I was using a baby gate to keep my dog out of my living room. I had purchased new furniture and I didn't want Roxy (my lab mix) ruining it with her dirty paws and near constant shedding. The baby gate had damaged the doorway and I wanted to repaint and repair the walls.
I knew that electric fences existed for outside, but I had never heard of an indoor fence. A friend showed me her system she bought from flexpetz and I was sold!
The fence was easy to set up and training was a breeze. The price was very reasonable as well. I am happy to report I am free of the baby gate and my furniture looks brand new. Thanks flexpetz! (Posted on 1/17/2013)

Radio system pruodcts have always performed well for me. If you are thinking of electrically fencing in your dog, I have had 10+ years of problem free use with the system. The collars just wear out every 4-5 years though. Two thumbs up for this product. (Posted on 10/12/2012)
Good pricing and quality Review by Letesa Forbes
Quality Value Price
"Having a pet is not easy. Keeping up with him and cleaning up after him is not any easier. I was getting sick of all the barriers like fences and child proof gates put up all around my home. Luckily FlexPets.com was there to help me out. They told me I could get a indoor zone collar set that would keep my dog within specific boundaries without the use of fences or gates!. Of course i jumped on it and it turned out to be wonderful. Aside from the collar being a tad big I really enjoy the product and it is very affordable!" 5/5

S&W Pistol-Weird Point Of Aim?
I have a S&W 915 that a friend gave me,and no matter what I do,this gun always hits about 4"-5" low at 7 yards,I just don't know what the deal is,or maybe it's the long trigger pull or something,i'm not much of a handgun guy,but when I do shoot one,it's usually my 22/45 Ruger with a 4" barrel,and I can group them at 1"@ 7 yards dead center.The worst part is that I cant adjust the sights on the S&W.What's going on with my gun/or me?
1 Attachment(s)
According to this chart you may be squeezing your finger tips when pulling the trigger.
You are most likely failing to follow thru. There is problem of pulling the trigger and dropping the muzzle. Try firing the gun from a bench before firing off hand.:)

Serena Williams is heading to Doha...but first thing's first: Will she have the goods to prevail at the US Open?
2009 Australian Open and Wimbledon champion secures spot at prestigious year-end Championships in Doha, Qatar
ST. PETERSBURG, FL, USA – Sony Ericsson WTA Tour World No.2 Serena Williams has qualified for the season-ending Sony Ericsson Championships, set to take place for the second year in a row at the Khalifa International Tennis Complex in Doha, Qatar, from October 27-November 1, 2009. Williams joins World No.1 Dinara Safina of Russia, who was the first player to qualify for the Championships two weeks ago. The world's top eight singles players and top four doubles teams from the 2009 Sony Ericsson WTA Tour season will compete for the coveted Sony Ericsson Championships title and a share of the record Championships prize money of $4.45 million.
Serena Williams, the 27-year-old American, has had a stellar 2009 season, winning two Grand Slam singles titles (Australian Open and Wimbledon), and reaching the quarterfinals of Roland Garros, losing to eventual champion Svetlana Kuznetsova. A finalist at the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, Williams has eight wins over Top 10 opponents this season, and has held the No.1 ranking for 11 weeks during the season (week of February 2 through week of April 13). Williams leads the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour prize money leaders this year with $3,950,466. By winning the singles and doubles title at the 2009 Australian Open, Serena Williams became the first professional female athlete to eclipse the $23-million mark in any professional sports league and surpassed Lindsay Davenport ($22,144,735) as the all-time prize money leader on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. In addition to her success in singles, Serena has also won three doubles titles this year with sister Venus, including two Grand Slams (Australian Open and Wimbledon) as well as the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford. As a result, Serena and Venus Williams currently rank second in the Race to Sony Ericsson Championships Doubles Standings.
"Serena has achieved great results this year, impressing everyone with her tremendous performances at the Grand Slams," said Stacey Allaster, Chairman and CEO of the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour. "I congratulate Serena on qualifying for the Sony Ericsson Championships and look forward to what promises to be one of the best Tour season finales in history."
"We congratulate Serena on qualifying for the 2009 Sony Ericsson Championships in Doha and look forward to another exciting Sony Ericsson Championships," said Aldo Liguori, Corporate Vice President and Head of Global Communications & PR for Sony Ericsson.
"I am really excited about qualifying for the Sony Ericsson Championships for the ninth time in my career," said Serena Williams. "It's never easy and it's never a guarantee, so I am thrilled to be going to Doha and competing against some of the best players in the world."
Sony Ericsson, one of the largest global mobile phone manufacturers known for style and innovation, is committed to bringing entertainment and glamour to tennis, and taking the sport to new places and new audiences. Sony Ericsson's style and technology has attracted a wider interest to women's tennis and provided unique opportunities to the stars of the Tour.
The Championships were first played in 1972 and since then the event has been held in such notable venues as Madison Square Garden, New York City; the Olympiahalle in Munich; Staples Center in Los Angeles; and the Recinto Ferial Casa de Campo in Madrid. Former singles champions include Tracy Austin, Kim Clijsters, Chris Evert, Evonne Goolagong, Steffi Graf, Martina Hingis, Martina Navratilova, Gabriela Sabatini, Serena Williams, Justine Henin and Venus Williams. Cara Black and Liezel Huber, defending champions in doubles, currently lead in the Doubles Race to Doha with 6,750 points followed by Serena Williams and Venus William

Case Conclusion Date: 07.09.2009
Practice Area: Divorce and separation
Outcome: Appellate Division ruled in favor of Plaintiff
Description: Plaintiff argued in response to the defendant's appeal that the trial court had properly denied defendant's notice of motion for reconsideration because it was not filed timely. Plaintiff further argued that the defendant did not provide a controlling decision which would have required the trial court to amend its prior decision and that the defendant did not provide any evidence to support his claims that plaintiff's calculations were in error. The Appellate Division agreed with the plaintiff's argument and therefore affirmed the decision of the trial court denying the defendant's application.
