She won't stop texting my boyfriend
Hi Meredith,
I am a 30-year-old woman dating a 42-year-old man (who I will call Jason). We have a wonderful relationship, communicate VERY well, and love each other deeply. We can play together and be serious when needed. We've been together for over a year and living together for the last nine months or so. All in all, the perfect match. So what's the problem? Well Meredith, it's another woman (cue the dramatic music).
Here's some background: Jason started a new job last year, and with the position came new coworkers and colleagues. One coworker is a woman in her early 30s who he works somewhat closely with, but his position is superior to hers. My issue is that this woman (who is single) texts him during off-work hours. Their conversations revolve around personal things, not work-related topics. Nothing incredibly personal but it's still clear she's reaching out just for an excuse to talk. I realize that when you work with someone closely you'll develop a relationship and get to know them, but her texts are downright flirty. The other piece of information to note is that my boyfriend is REALLY good-looking -- and it's not just me being biased; he's one of those classically handsome men that turns heads in restaurants, and his blissful unawareness of his own good looks makes him all the more attractive to me. He is charming without even realizing it and I am pretty certain that she is interpreting his kindness as interest in her.
The texting started last fall. He admitted that it was a little odd she was texting and I let him know that it bothered me. He assured me that it was harmless, and she is just a lonely woman reaching out. However, it continued and although he didn't always mention it to me, I would peek at his phone and see she was still texting. I am very bothered by the fact that this woman knows he is in a relationship and continues to reach out at inappropriate times, like 9 pm on a Friday night. It all came to a head this past New Year's Eve when she was drunk and repeatedly texting him and saying that she was going to call him at midnight, teasingly, "You better be awake old man!" I lost it and Jason and I had a blow-out fight which basically ruined our holiday. Just a side note -- he and I RARELY fight and this was a bad one.
I need you to know that he doesn't lie to me about it and he doesn't flirt back. When I look through the messages it is painfully obvious that this woman is initiating everything. But I find it wrong that he engages in it. He says that he doesn't want to confront her because it will be awkward at work and he doesn't want to make accusations that she could say are not true -- but this is what gets me: Why is my loving boyfriend caring more about making this woman comfortable and allowing this to go on, ultimately making his girlfriend feel completely disrespected?
I never considered myself to be a jealous person and I feel secure in my relationship, but I feel it is wrong for her to be sending him messages when he is lying in bed next to me. It's not about worrying that he is going to leave her for me because I don't believe that is the case. For me this is about the respect that you give another person you are dating. Meredith, readers, am I overreacting or does Jason need to stop this now?
– Feeling Disrespected, North Attleboro
It sounds like the real issue here is the amount of time your boyfriend spends on his phone, FD. Is Jason paying attention to these texts when he should be engaged in conversation with you? If he's lying in bed next to you, is he reading and responding to these messages? Did Jason text this woman back on New Year's Eve? If so, why?
I can't speak to this woman's intentions -- it's possible that she messaged 30 people at midnight on New Year's Eve -- but I will say that your boyfriend should be focused on you when he's in your company. He can check his phone, of course, but he doesn't have to respond to unimportant, chatty text messages right away -- or ever. He doesn't even have to read them if he doesn't feel like it.
Perhaps it's best to explain to him that you'd be less annoyed with this woman's messages if he wasn't focused on them during your time together. If he wasn't playing with his phone so much, you probably wouldn't think about her at all.
I agree -- the New Year's message does sound ... flirty. But according to you, everybody wants to flirt with your boyfriend. That's fine, as long as Jason isn't distracted by that kind of attention when he's with you. If you're going to talk/fight about anything, make it that.
Readers? Is this about the woman or the phone? Should he tell this woman to stop texting? Will she stop on her own if he doesn't respond? What should the letter writer do? Help.
– Meredith

i am helping a friend who is working with troubled kidds and i am teaching some of them disc golf. a couple have shown interest and talent and are looking to move n in to the sport. this is some advaice i gave them on how i built my bag ( yes this is also a response i gave to a poster in the equipment section)
as you stepping up to more competition bags i thought on how to break dow a what i would consider a complete bag.
1. puter: most important disc in your bag find one that feels good for putting and throwing
2. stable mid: a mid range driver you can throw pretty straight and fell confident in hitting many different lines
3. work horse driver: usually a slightly over stable fairway driver in different stages of wear can cover a lot of shots.
4. distance driver: driver you can throw all out on wide open holes.
5. turnover driver: driver that you can flip over or work on lines when throwing less then 100%
6. meat hook: disc for make hard left turns (for Right hand back hand) or throwing into the wind
7 finess disc: Disc for working lines and approaches.
as you play longer some molds will cover others. a beat work horse can cover the turnover spot ect.
are there any spots you would recommend or that i have missed or misreprsented.

Copeland Furniture in Bradford, Vermont makes stunningly beautiful furniture and they've gotten so good at marketing it that web-based shopping carts are lining up to carry it online. You can find Copeland furniture right next to pet accessories, dishwashers and printer paper at stores like Amazon.com, Ebay, Yahoo and Yliving.
Then there are dozens of retailers based overseas that appear to sell Copeland Furniture, but their websites don't have any "about us" or "contact us" info, so who knows? I often find scrambled versions of my own blogs and website content pasted into their product pages so I don't have much confidence that anyone's really there… other than a computer and a cash register, maybe.
So if you're considering Copeland Furniture, we thought you might be interested in knowing where the best place to buy it is.
Well, of course we think it's Vermont Woods Studios and we've come up with the Top 10 Reasons Why. Besides the lifetime guarantee (which no other retailer I know of offers), low price guarantee, free shipping and our relentless customer service, there is one fact that other stores just can't duplicate. Copeland furniture is made in VT and Vermont is where we live. We are the leading authority on Vermont made furniture. It's all we sell. It's what we know. It's what we believe in. And we'll be here selling Vermont made furniture for the long haul.
One more reason. Vermont Woods Studios was founded to showcase Vermont's handcrafted wood furniture in a way that raises awareness about where your furniture comes from. We use a portion of the profits from each piece of furniture to conserve forests, plant trees and save endangered species from going extinct due to habitat destruction. But that story's for another day. Thanks for reading!

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
This past week I've been trying out Visual Studio 2010 for SQLCLR development. Verdict: A couple of nice things, a couple not so nice.
In the interest of keeping things somewhat positive around here, we'll start with the good stuff:
I'm not sure how the second issue will be impacted by various security settings on databases other than tempdb, but I suspect that we'll see other issues as a result of the attempt to turn on vardecimal. It's also concerning that the Visual Studio team would create a product that will silently enable a database feature, with no warning and, as far as I can tell, no reasoning. If anyone from the VS team is reading this, please reply in the comments and let us know why this decision was made.
All in all: The deployment scripts are a nice plus, but the better default assembly name is counter-balanced by the incorrect default framework version--you still need to remember to go in and tweak things. And while the tempdb limitation isn't a deal breaker, it's incredibly annoying. For now, especially due to the performance issue, I'm thinking I'll stick with Visual Studio 2008.
Hope this helps those of you who are doing SQLCLR development and are planning to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 sooner rather than later. Please post in the comments here if you find other hurdles so that we can keep a running list of issues.

Hi Adam
Do you use VS2010 Ultimate 32 bit?
Ah lets see whether triple-posting issue is still exists.
Good Feedback!
Another thing I noticed is debugging (using VS 2010) clr's using "attach to process" for complex assemblies, instead of debugging with auto-deploy and test scripts is a no-go.. sql just hangs, until you detach..
Also tried adding a config file to sqlservr.exe forcing the correct debugger, but this does not work either..
Not cool Microsoft!
Thanks so much for this post, specially the framework version issue (bad stuff) nearly saved my life!
I'm reading this about a year later -- thanks for a great series of articles, Adam!
I've discovered a very annoying aspect of deployment of CLR in VS 2010: if you try to deploy into a "large" DB with thousands of objects, it hangs forever.
See: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2011/01/24/deploying-clr-assembly-hangs-with-visual-studio-2010.aspx
The hack work-around suggested is to deploy to a small database, then edit the deployment scripts to change the database. This was ridiculous: it's easier and more straightforward to create my own T-SQL script to drop and create the assembly and functions directly.
As Andries said above: Not cool Microsoft!
Hi Adam, happy holidays.
I came across to the loopback connection c# script in one of your posts. I really like the concept, I used to pass ServerName, database name to each clr proc or function. I added the script to my project. It builds fine. I am using VS2010 with SP1 against a SQL 2008 SP3 database. For some reason it does not let me deploy it. I boiled it down to static variable "private static readonly string connection_string;", if I make it private only (no static) it deploys fine. I searched around quite a bit what the cause will be with no luck. I figured you may already run into the similar problem or so.
By the way I started following your blog (starting following some blogs couple months ago and got addicted now ;-)). I like efficient coding and directly applied your string splitting, whoisactive, xtended events etc, just awesome. We are here in Miami, and my company does not have the habit of flying people for classes. Anyway whenever I get a chance I'd like a week long sql education ;-)
Happy holidays

Office of Elections Purchases New Integrated Voting System
June 12, 2014
The Fairfax County Office of Elections has purchased a new integrated voting system, including over 1,125 state-of-the -art voting machines. This is the most comprehensive replacement of the county's voting equipment in over a decade.
The new system from Election Systems & Software (ES&S), includes 525 DS200 electronically scanned paper ballot machines and 600 ExpressVote machines that use technology similar to touch screen equipment to generate paper ballots. The initial cost for the machines is approximately $6.4 million. The new machines are expected to be in use for the upcoming Nov. 4 election. County voters will have an opportunity to take a look at and test-drive the machines at events to be scheduled beginning in August. Election officer training will also begin in August.
"The Electoral Board and the Office of Elections staff have spent over a year on this critical selection – reviewing bids, working with vendors and doing our best to ensure that our final decision and contract terms were both what the county needed and the most cost-effective solution," said Electoral Board Secretary Brian Schoeneman. "Having a brand-new, fully integrated voting system for the county will make the voting process more efficient, secure and easy for Fairfax County voters."
Purchase of new, integrated equipment was recommended to the Board of Supervisors by the Bipartisan Election Process Improvement Commission in March 2013. The recommendation included having new machines in place prior to the presidential election in 2016, so election officers and most voters would be familiar with the equipment.
Voters who have used electronically scanned paper ballots will notice very little change in how they vote using the new DS200 optical scan voting machines. As with the current equipment, voters will mark a paper ballot and place her/his ballot in the optical scan machine, which will scan the ballot, record the vote and inform the voter that their ballot has been cast. The new machines also will let the voter know if the ballot is blank or over voted (voted for more candidates than allowed in a contest). In addition to providing results when the polls close, the new equipment provides a paper ballot for all voters, including those who need to use the new accessible equipment called ExpressVote. There also will be a voter verified paper audit trail for every vote in case of a recount.
The ExpressVote machine is fully compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and enables voters with special needs to use technology similar to touch screen equipment to generate a marked paper ballot. The ballot will then be inserted in to the same DS200 optical scan machine used by other voters. The technology allows those with special needs to vote independently and privately.
To learn more about using these voting machines, watch the ES&S videos on the DS200 machines or ExpressVote, or contact the Fairfax County Office of Elections at 703-222-0776 (TTY 711) or email email@example.com.
If you are interested in becoming an election officer for an upcoming election, contact the Office of Elections at 703-324-4735 or send an email.

Toeside rail is thinned out to sit deeper
Toeside fins are long and close to rail
Heelside designed for a more natural position
Wide profile is great for any water condition
Adjustable boot with high memory foam
The innovative Vault wakeboard from Ronix recognizes that your body is crossed up when riding toeside. Taking this into consideration, the design of the rocker and fin shape/placement allow the rider to point the board with maximum grip to the wake without requiring excessive attack angle. The toeside rail is thinned out to sit deeper in the water, creating additional grip from this sharp profile. The toeside fins are deeper, longer, and closer to the rail for a strong/stable edge hold. The design of the heelside was created for a rider facing the boat with a more natural position to point the board to the wake. The heelside rail starts off softer/fuller for a mellower transition, then blends to a more vertical sidewall with less resistance on the water. The heelside fins are shorter and further from the rail for a quicker release on spinning tricks. A wider profile creates a bigger sweet spot in any water condition. Includes 2 fiberglass 1.7" fins. Vault 128: 50.4"L x 16.5"W. For riders up to 160 lbs. Vault 134: 52.8"L x 16.7"W. For riders up to 175 lbs. Vault 139: 54.7"L x 16.9"W. For riders over 170 lbs. Vault 143: 56.3"L x 17"W. For riders over 175 lbs.
With the latest in easy of entry and open toe adjustability and high memory foam, the Divide is one of Ronix's most popular boots. Universal tongue makes it the most adjustable boot and great for your friends and family. Built-in J-bars improve heel holding power so your feet stay in place. Articulating cuff is flexible, preventing boot distortion during use. Sizes: S(5 - 8-1/2), M(7-1/2 - 11-1/2), L(10-1/2 - 14-1/2).

(UPDATED COVERAGE, April 3) Ready Pac Foods Inc. has published a Fresh Salad Guide advising consumers on more than 20 different types of lettuce.
The eight-page guide is a free download that Ready Pac is publicizing through its website and its Facebook and Twitter accounts.
It depicts leafy greens in two categories: broad leaf lettuces and baby lettuces and greens. Besides lettuce varieties, the broad leaf segment includes escarole, endive, radicchio and cabbage. The baby group features spinach, chard, arugula and baby lettuces including lolla rosa and tango.
"It helps in educating consumers," said Tristan Simpson, director of marketing and corporate communications at Irwindale, Calif.-based Ready Pac. "There really isn't anything out there that does that from a comprehensive standpoint. There are so many unique varieties that all have different flavor profiles and combinations."
The guide aims to ease shoppers' selection process with pairing suggestions and other information, she said.
Four recipes illustrate pairing and use ideas, with a different Ready Pac salad mix. They are:
- Gorgonzola, avocado and glazed walnut salad;
- café bread salad;
- California avocado fruit salad; and
- Cabo shrimp salad.
"We wanted to offer up some of the more common blends and show how they can be used in recipes," Simpson said.

AMD's Athlon II X3 435 & New Energy Efficient CPUs: Killing Intel Below $90by Anand Lal Shimpi on October 20, 2009 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
SYSMark 2007 Performance
Our journey starts with SYSMark 2007, the only all-encompassing performance suite in our review today. The idea here is simple: one benchmark to indicate the overall performance of your machine.
Overall performance under SYSMark is pretty balanced for the Athlon II X3 435. It's faster than the $99 quad-core (620) but slightly slower than the quad core 630. We're slower than the old triple core Phenom II X3 720 though.

jtleon - Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - linkAfter diggin through all of Maddoctor's delightful and humorous comments, I find myself asking this question...
Why does HP, Dell, Gateway, Acer, Lenovo, and all other PC makers choose to offer ANY AMD products in their portfolios?
I think Maddoctor forgets that those in business of making computers can make MORE profit using AMD than they can make using Intel. After all, PROFIT is the driving force of business.
Joe public does not care what CPU is working for him, as long as the job gets done, in a reasonable amount of time. Joe Public could care less if he has supercomputing capabilities...for his VIDEO GAME.
I am pwning plenty of i7's, Q6600's, E8500's, Phenoms, etc. with my lowly dual P3 box running the AGP port. The fact remains, 99% of computer users on this planet could care less who (AMD or Intel) is running their applications, as long as they pay next to nothing for the computer.
Even Maddoctor can understand this fact.

Kidney Diseases
Microalbumin Results in Diabetic
What is the difference of microalbumin/crea ratio result of the early morning urine sample to a late night urine sample?
Early morning urine sample for miroalbumin was in a range of 1,00 - 1500 ng/L;another sample was sent at about almost midnight of the same day and the result was almost half of the first result; 582 mg,L. Is it normal for a diabetic patient? What could be the possible reason of the big difference in result?
The difference in the microalbumin (alone) level is the amount of water in the urine (the diluteness of the urine). Early in the morning, urine will usually be the most concentrated that it will be in a 24-hr period, so the microalbumin level will be highest. After drinking fluids all day and evening, most people will have more water in their urine, so the microalbumin level will be lower. To correct for the amount of water in the urine, the ratio (microalbumin-to-creatinine) is used; that's the figure you should be looking at, and it should be relatively constant, regardless of the time of day. A microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio of greater than 30 is considered to be elevated, and to represent some damage to the kidney.

Back from hibernation, Andrus sporting beard
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- A photo-copied drawing of Abraham Lincoln was hanging from Elvis Andrus' locker when he showed up in the clubhouse on Wednesday. There was also a one-word editorial on what someone thought of Andrus' new beard.
It was not a positive review, but Andrus doesn't mind that his beard is being compared to the 16th President of the United States.
"It's good to be compared to a president," Andrus said. "It's a little love from my teammates. It's a beard, it's not going to bother me, a bunch of jokes. It's a good thing, guys having fun."
Andrus grew the beard because he wasn't playing winter ball in Venezuela. It's the first time he has ever skipped playing in the winter.
"I would cut my beard if it were hot," Andrus said. "But I stayed the whole offseason in Dallas, and it was really cold. When it is really cold, you have to keep as many hairs as you can on your body."
More significant than the beard is not playing winter ball. Andrus did so at the club's request. The Rangers wanted him to take the time off and rest his body.
"It felt like [the offseason] was twice as long," Andrus said. "But I feel good. I feel rested. I feel a lot of energy."

However after hearing that the attack was out of character for the 20-year-old, who had never been in trouble with the police before, a judge imposed a community order.
Tessa Hingston, prosecuting, told Swindon Crown Court the incident took place at the shared house on Southmead, Chippenham, on Sunday September 9.
She said Crisford and her boyfriend had been arguing and as a result the kitchen door handle was damaged.
Housemate John Alice blamed her for the breakage and was holding a screwdriver when he shouted at Crisford, who responded by hitting him in the face twice.
She went to her room but shortly after heard him going up the stairs so came out brandishing a metre long metal spirit level and swung it at him as he walked away.
But as she swung it at Mr Alice she missed, instead hitting his girlfriend, Helen Stepp, who had come out of their room.
Miss Hingston said the victim was struck once to the body and then to the side of the head with the weapon, leaving her with a black eye from the blows.
Crisford, now of Minster Way, Chippenham, pleaded guilty to common assault on Mr Alice and actual bodily harm to Miss Stepp.
Alex Daymond, defending, said his client and Mr Alice had not got on for a while and she felt he was wrongly blaming her for breaking the door.
His client was only 19 at the time of the incident, he said, and had been living at the shared house for about two years.
Mr Daymond said she worked in telesales taking home about £1,000 a month and had moved to a new address straight after the incident.
He said she had said to a police officer that she 'felt like a monster' after seeing what she had done to her victim.
Passing sentence Judge Euan Ambrose said: "This piece of behaviour now brings you in front of me, not in the magistrates court but straight to the crown court.
"That is I hope a situation that will not reoccur because looking at everything that I have read about you, this is a situation that it properly described as out of character.
"You snapped on this occasion and behaved in a bad way, but in an uncharacteristic way, and you find yourself in a criminal court.
"I have read the pre-sentence report and it is obvious you bitterly regret what you did. You entered a guilty plea at an early stage, are in work and have not returned to the shared house."
He imposed a one year community during which time she must do 180 hours of unpaid work and pay £250 compensation to Miss Stepp.

Quick Take
- VMware will announce its earnings for Q1 FY 2013 on April 23. Double-digit revenue growth is expected on the back of mobile desktop virtualization, the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement, big data analytics and enterprise social networking
- Various acquisitions including Cetas, Nicira and DynamicOps in 2012 will lend support. However a U.S. slowdown could pose a challenge in maintaining the growth momentum going forward
VMware (NYSE:VMW), the leading desktop virtualization company, is set to announce its Q1 earnings on April 23. Despite some weakness in the U.S. demand, mainly due to a decline in federal business contracts in Q1, the company should continue to exhibit double-digit revenue growth on the back of growing virtualization demand in international markets including China and Japan. Mobile desktop virtualization, the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement, big data analytics and enterprise social networking will be the main revenue drivers for Q1 and the upcoming quarters. However, its operating margins are expected to decline, which should lead to slightly lower operating profits on a y-o-y basis.

- A Closer Look At VMware's R&D Budget
- Sustained Revenue Growth, Disciplined Expense Management Drive VMware's Results

In Q4, at $1.3 billion, VMware reported a 22% y-o-y revenue growth. The operating income was $252 million, an increase of 15% y-o-y while net income was $205 million compared to $200 million last year. [1] We examine some key trends driving growth in its business.
See our full analysis on VMware
The BYOD Opportunity
VMware leads the BYOD revolution with its View Mobile Secure Desktop offering, which provides a safe and secure environment for mobile virtualization. The product addresses security and storage of virtual desktop networks by providing secure snapshots of the desktop, which can be monitored and controlled by the IT staff. It also addresses storage issues by adopting a hybrid storage combining flash and legacy storage to provide speed as well as cost efficiency. The VMware View Mobile Secure Desktop is a fully validated design that provides users access to their employers' networks, applications and data, irrespective of the device and data network.
The Big Data Analytics Opportunity – Analytics-as-a-Service
VMware's Big Data initiative is driven by its acquisition of Cetas in 2012, a big data analytics company. The Cetas software is designed to run on virtual resources like Amazon Web Services and VMware's vSphere, making it easier to scale and cheaper to use. This acquisition makes sense for VMware as its applications that are deployed on vSphere provide another opportunity to cross sell. The cost efficiency and the analytics-as-a-service model will open up the market for small and medium enterprises, satisfying the unmet need in the analytics space.
Software Defined Data Centers Key To Virtualization
Software-defined data centers are a key innovation in the virtualization space as it provides a solution to support both enterprise applications and new cloud services. VMware has been making acquisitions in the software-defined data center space and has acquired companies such as Nicira and DynamicOps in the second half of 2012. These companies use software to abstract hardware resources and pool it into aggregate capacity, which can be used efficiently as needed. Customers gained through these acquisitions include AT&T, DreamHost, eBay, Fidelity Investments, NTT and Rackspace. We can expect this to lend support to VMware's revenue growth going forward.
The Enterprise Social Network Opportunity
Enterprise networks are of two types: the intranet or an internal social network for use by employees and an enterprise network for customer service, which doubles as a platform for companies to engage customers via social networks. The social intranet is used for collaboration on projects, and leading in this space is Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM) with its Chatter service.
VMware is primarily a virtualization company and this division accounts for 90% of its current Trefis price estimate. It is looking to move into the enterprise social networking space with its latest offering, Socialcast. Though this business does not contribute significantly to the company revenues currently – it is a big opportunity for VMware.
If Jive Software is used as a benchmark, enterprise social network can become a major source of revenue for VMware, going forward, as it can leverage its institutional client network to cross sell Socialcast. The company is also moving into mobile phone virtualization and can provide a mobile social network easily.
What To Look For
We will be closely watching the earnings to see if the management continues to face weakness in the U.S. Owing to these concerns, the company's stock has plunged almost 30% in the last three months despite an upbeat Q4 2012 earnings. While we are bullish on the company's future due to aforementioned factors, any expectations of further weakness in the U.S., can create more pressure on the stock in near term. The market contributes nearly 50% to total revenues of the company.
We have a $100 Trefis price estimate for VMware, which is nearly 30% above the current market price.

- rate of change in average common carotid artery intima-media thickness (measured over 24 months)
|Study Start Date:
|June 1995
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2000
Evidence from epidemiologic studies, and from one unpublished study, suggests that greater intake of antioxidant vitamins is associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Findings from an animal model indicate that increased intake of antioxidant vitamins prevents progression of aortic fatty streaks induced by an atherogenic diet, but not from more advanced injury-induced lesions. These observations suggest the hypothesis that increased antioxidant vitamin intake may prevent further progression of early atherosclerosis, possibly by means of reduced susceptibility of low density lipoprotein to oxidative modification and consequent cytotoxic, chemotactic, chemostatic, and unregulated uptake effects.
A new, automated, low-cost, portable ultrasound system for determining intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery makes it feasible to test the primary prevention impact of antioxidant vitamins on early atherosclerosis. Results of two studies at the University of Southern California suggest that the low-density lipoprotein effects on common carotid artery intima-media thickness can be detected by automated methods within 12 to 24 months in small patient samples. Retardation of intima-media thickness progression was achieved in both studies without significant changes in average vessel diameter, which suggests effects on early atherosclerotic lesions.
Patients will be screened for carotid intima-media thickness at home or at schools in mobile vans equipped with portable ultrasound equipment. After 12 months, those patients above the age and sex-adjusted 66th percentile at Screen I will be re-screened (Screen II), and those showing the greatest progression in intima-media thickness will be invited to participate in a trial run-in to assess vitamin E compliance. Patients will be randomized to the following four groups: 1) vitamin E (573 mg/day); 2) vitamin C; 3) Vitamin E and C combined; and 4) placebo. Common carotid artery intima-media thickness will be observed by ultrasound at 12- and 24-month follow-ups. The primary outcome is 24-month rate of change in average common carotid artery intima-media thickness.

NOISES OFF Comes To A Noise Within 1/21-30, 2011
A Noise Within (ANW) reprises its hilarious and critically acclaimed production of the joyfully out-of control British farce NOISES OFF by Michael Frayn for ten performances from Friday, January 21 to Sunday, January 30, 2011. Company Co-Founders/Co-Artistic Directors Geoff Elliott and Julia Rodriguez-Elliott co-direct the production, in which Elliott also performs, which was presented last season for the first time in the company's history and garnered rave reviews. According to the Los Angeles Times, "a superb cast hit the banana peel running and never let up," and Backstage said, "Michael Frayn's delightfully complicated British farce could hardly have a better rendition than this." Other critics called it "excruciatingly funny"; "The entire production is a riot, some of the most fun you can expect at a theatrical production"; and "nothing short of brilliant."
In Frayn's farce, chaos reigns both onstage and off. Under-rehearsed and over-worked, with a penchant for drama more personal than professional, a bumbling troupe of veteran thespians ready themselves for the world premiere of a new play with the auspicious title Nothing On. In the process they bring the house down, quite literally.
Says Elliott, "Presenting this show last season was a true highlight. I don't know if I've ever had more fun being in a production and co-directing it." Rodriguez-Elliott adds, "It's fun for the actors and the audience! Everything about this play is simpatico with A Noise Within's focus on ensemble work; people saw it two and three times."
The cast features Shaun Anthony (Tim Allgood), Apollo Dukakis (Selsdon Mowbray), Geoff Elliott (Lloyd Dallas), Jill Hill (Brenda Blair), Mikael Salazar (Garry Lejeune), Lenne Klingaman (Poppy Norton-Taylor), Abby Craden (Brooke Ashton), Stephen Rockwell (Frederick Fellowes) and Deborah Strang (Dotty Otley).
To enhance the theatre-going experience, A Noise Within offers comprehensive study guides for every production, each with a synopsis, director's notes, general theatre lore, links to other resources and detailed information about the playwright, characters, setting, period, costumes, scenic design, music and more. The Noises Off Study Guide along with those for previous A Noise Within productions are available on-line at http://www.anoisewithin.org/education_studyguides.html.
A Noise Within (ANW) is the only year-round classical repertory company in Southern California and one of only a handful in the entire country dedicated solely to producing classical dramatic literature in the repertory tradition of rotating productions with a resident company of professional artists. Led by Co-Founders and Co-Artistic Directors Geoff Elliott and Julia Rodriguez-Elliott, A Noise Within has been hailed by critics as "adventurous," "compelling and current," "ingenuity at work," "a bona fide class act," and "what great theatre is all about." Founded 19 seasons ago, ANW quickly established itself as one of the region's key theatre companies, attracting fiercely loyal audiences and consistently high praise from the media for its productions and as a leading force in arts education. The company has presented more than 120 plays from the classics of world literature, each season producing works from authors ranging from Shakespeare and Molière to Ibsen, O'Neill and Shaw to Miller and Williams. ANW's consistent dedication to quality has been rewarded with more than two dozen Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards as well as numerous LA Weekly and Backstage Garland awards. A Noise Within's next chapter provides the long-awaited opportunity to sink deep and lasting roots when the company moves in 2011 from its long-time base in Glendale to a spectacular, permanent home in a Pasadena mixed-use development at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Sierra Madre Villa Avenue. The facility, hailed as an anchor in East Pasadena's arts growth, is designed to broaden A Noise Within's artistic possibilities, offer a greater scope of educational opportunities, meet ticket demand and allow the company to expand its role as a leader in the presentation and preservation of classical theatre.
GEOFF ELLIOTT (Co-Director/Lloyd Dallas), who this season also co-directs and appears in A Noise Within's productions of Measure For Measure and Great Expectations - is co-founder and co-artistic director of A Noise Within with his wife, Julia Rodriguez-Elliott.

He has received three Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle awards and more than a dozen other awards for acting. His Shakespearean roles include Iago in Othello, Theseus/Oberon in a Midsummer Night's Dream, Coriolanus, Richard in King Richard III and Hamlet. He has also performed leading roles in classic plays by such authors as O'Neill, Miller, Ibsen, Rostand, Wilde and Williams.

SAN FRANCISCO — Prescription drug abuse in the Bay Area and nationwide is a growing problem, outpacing illegal drugs and creating a new generation of heroin addicts, law enforcement, public health officials and substance abuse specialists said during a regional summit Wednesday.
The number of accidental overdose deaths from prescription pills has skyrocketed in recent years, more than quadrupling since 1999, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. In 2010, nearly 60 percent of drug overdoses involved legal opiates, pain medication such as oxycodone, hydrocodone and methadone, said U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag, whose office organized the summit.
The problem is especially acute among teens and young adults ages 18-25, who tend to view prescription pills as "safe" because they are legal and given out by doctors.
"We know that the overdose deaths and the increased heroin use are being driven by previous prescription drug misuse," said Steve Pasierb, chief executive officer at The Partnership at Drugfree.org, a nonprofit organization that works to educate about the dangers of drug abuse. "Still, there are too many parents out there who don't believe this is a problem and who you could say are not minding their meds."
According to Pasierb, 4 out of 5 heroin users previously used prescription drugs but switched to heroin after not being able to find the medications or not being able to afford them as prices have risen in recent years.
"We are at the front end of a national catastrophe, and the numbers are going to get worse," Pasierb said.
On Wednesday, presenters offered numerous solutions, including requiring all doctors to check a database before writing a prescription, prescribing smaller amount of pills for injuries, and expanding city- and county-run drug disposal programs that allow residents to safely dispose of unwanted medicine.
"Prescription drugs are coming from only one source: doctors," said Erin Loback, a deputy district attorney for Alameda County, who is part of a unit that cracks down on health care.

Rob Grant -- Special to the Record-Bee
ST. HELENA -- It came down to this for Middletown here on Friday night: They were outscored, outplayed and, in the words of Mustang coach Bill Foltmer, "out-athleted" by St. Helena's indomitable Saints.
Oh, yes, and one other thing. They were knocked out of contention for the North Central I title by St. Helena's 42-21 conquest of the Mustangs, who lost their second straight league game and fell to 2-2 in league and 4-3 overall.
The undefeated Saints (4-0, 7-0), meanwhile, again rode the arm of their record-setting quarterback, Richard Hoppe, to previously unknown heights. St. Helena is seven games into a second straight unbeaten season. Its victory over the Mustangs was its 21st straight regular-season win.
Hoppe threw for four touchdowns and ran a single yard for two others.
Already holding all the passing records at St. Helena, he improved those marks to 208 completions and 3,790 career yards with an 11-for-20, 337-yard performance on Friday night.
Amassing 363 yards in the first half -- 302 of them on Hoppe's passing -- the Saints scored on their first three offensive series and four times in all to move to mount a 35-7 halftime lead.
"It was really exciting to move the ball because they have a good defense," said St. Helena coach Brandon Farrell. "Middletown is a good football team. I'm not sure that if we played 10 times the first half would be so much in our favor as it was. But you only play once and make plays and our kids made plays.
"Richard was outstanding and there were other shining moments," Farrell added. "We had guys getting open on scrambles. We also moved the ball even when they packed in the box on the goal-line."
The Saints did all they needed to do in the first half, with Hoppe cutting the Middletown defense to ribbons with big-yardage plays. For the half, St. Helena had five pass plays that went 28 yards or more, including one for 72 and another for 62.
With the cozy lead, St. Helena could afford to simply play out the clock in the second half and did that well, too, driving for 15 plays that ate up much of the time before missing a meaningless field goal.
Meanwhile, the Mustangs could only muster a miserly 78 yards of offense for the first half.
To their credit, they never quit and made a second half of it by scoring two TDs, one on a seven-play drive in the third quarter after a defensive lineman pounced on a Saints fumble at the 35, and, more impressively on a six-play, 80-yard drive, 56 of them on a run by Austin Benson. The Mustangs biggest back, Brad Beckwith, however, seemed to be the only runner who could move the ball with any consistency against the Saints. Accordingly, Beckwith scored all three Mustangs TDs on short-yardage runs.
Foltmer didn't dissect what happened to his Mustangs. They simply got whipped, as he saw it
"We didn't play bad," he said. "They just out-athleted us. No excuses. St. Helena is a good football team."

New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks is not in the mood to praise Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne.
Nicks was held in check in Week 1 against the Cowboys—four catches for 38 yards—while being covered primarily by Claiborne. The rematch will take place Sunday at Cowboys Stadium.
Asked what he thought of Claiborne, Nicks said, "I think he's a rookie."
Ouch. Nicks then reminded reporters that Week 1 was his first game since undergoing offseason foot surgery.

"I was coming back from the foot surgery and trying to play it out, see how my foot was, and I don't think it was anything that he did or nothing that they did," Nicks said. "They came out and played hard. We're a better team than that first game, so I think we've just got to go out there and execute our plays and play great team ball. We'll be fine.''
The Cowboys traded up to draft Claiborne with the sixth overall pick and signed cornerback Brandon Carr largely for games like this. Dallas didn't have the secondary to cover the Giants' receivers last season. This season, the Cowboys believe their secondary can contain the Giants, especially after beating them in Week 1.
The Giants disagree. Nicks vs. Claiborne will be one of the key matchups. We'll see if Nicks is more impressed with Claiborne after their second encounter.
