I purchased this poster directly from David Drennon at The Dead show May 19th 2009 in Philadelphia. I forget what I paid but he hand signed it after payment. After a quick search I found he still sells this print, hand signed for $12. So I guess this is an unlimited edition.

Pair of Bears lead Miami Dolphins, Utah Jazz franchises
If you attended Baylor in the late 1980s/early 1990s, you had not one, but two future major league general managers as classmates.
Jeff Ireland, a record-setting kicker on Baylor's football team from 1988-91, has served as general manager of the NFL's Miami Dolphins since January 2008 and recently had his contract extended through the 2014 season. At 3-0, the Dolphins are one of just six undefeated teams left in the NFL as they head into a Monday Night Football showdown against the New Orleans Saints tonight.
As a kicker at Baylor, Ireland set the program's single-season and career records for field goals made. (Aaron Jones has since broken Ireland's season mark, and Jones is on pace to break the career mark sometime this fall.) After graduating, Ireland spent a decade as an NFL scout and three years in the Dallas Cowboys' front office before joining the Dolphins.
His classmate, Dennis Lindsey, BSED '92, was named general manager of the NBA's Utah Jazz in August 2012. Lindsey played point guard for Baylor from 1988-92 before spending 11 years in the Houston Rockets' front office and five seasons with the San Antonio Spurs. He's been tasked with leading the Jazz through a rebuilding process that began with this year's NBA draft, for which he and the franchise have been widely lauded.
Sic 'em, Baylor GMs!

|September 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|September 2009
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
REDS-I was established to address important blood safety issues involving human retroviruses. On July 17, 1989 the NHLBI awarded contracts to five major blood centers and a coordinating center to develop a major multicenter epidemiologic study of the human retroviruses HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-I, and HTLV-II in volunteer U.S. blood donors. The original mission of REDS-I was to initiate and facilitate investigations of human retroviruses in volunteer blood donors from areas of the country at varying risk for HIV. During the course of the project, NHLBI expanded the original REDS-I mission to investigate critical questions posed by the blood banking and transfusion medicine communities that were essential to ensuring an adequate blood supply without compromising blood safety. The overall REDS-I program includes epidemiologic, laboratory, and clinical investigations, and provides a comprehensive framework for monitoring U.S. blood donations, and more recently transfusion recipients, for infectious disease markers. The operational and database structure of REDS-I, specifically designed to study U.S. blood safety and availability, has also provided a framework for rapid analytical response to other research questions of significant importance to the safety of the blood supply. Since its inception, investigators have made major contributions in assessing: the risk of contracting transfusion-transmitted infectious agents; HIV and HCV test screening; donor characteristics and behaviors; and ways of reducing HIV risk from transfusion. REDS-I investigators work closely with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Office of the Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to provide data and analyses for important policy decisions. Liaisons with test manufacturers have enabled the rapid study of test procedures of critical importance to blood safety and availability.
The objectives of the Retrovirus Epidemiology Donor Study-II (REDS-II) are to conduct epidemiological, laboratory, and survey research on volunteer blood donors within the United States to ensure the safety and availability of the United States' blood supply. This includes monitoring known blood-borne infectious agents, rapidly evaluating the impact of emerging pathogens, assessing the safety implications of changes in laboratory and/or blood donor screening protocols and examining blood supply and availability issues. Addressing issues concerned with the safety and availability of the United States' blood supply will be the cornerstone of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Retrovirus Epidemiology Donor Study. These issues include: a) the risks of transfusion-transmissible infections and their trends through time--these include infectious agents currently undergoing laboratory screening as well as new and emerging agents such as West Nile Virus (WNV) which is about to be screened for in the U.S. under experimental protocols; b) ways to reduce the risks of transfusion-transmissible infections; c) HIV, HTLV, HCV, and HBV test screening methodologies; d) donor characteristics, behaviors, and donation return patterns of U.S. blood donors; and e) the effectiveness and safety of various strategies implemented to increase the U.S. blood supply.

'While Paille is considered a safe pick to one day play in the NHL, he does need to continue to improve in a couple of areas. "I like his game, but he needs to be more physical," one general manager said in the Hockey News' draft preview. "He is a guy who is supposed to be a power forward, but he did not get involved a lot for a guy who will be a power forward."'

Ah, nice
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Joel Embid is changing every shot out there today. His defense has improved so much. He is so much better from early in the season.
Wichita State is going to go undefeated. I kept saying they have a much better team this year. I didnt think they would make it through non conference unbeaten now that they did I have a hard time seeing any team in the Valley beating them.
Also Selden's and Wiggin's defense on Smart today has been fantastic.
Also have the Utah vs UCLA game on the other game Delon Wright really reminds me of Andre Miller just solid. He isnt a good NBA athlete and his lateral quickness will hurt him defensively but a lot of offensive talent and does a lot of dirty work. He actually moves a lot like his brother.
Kyle Anderson is really really good.
Utah cross matched so they never really guarded each other.

He was a monster today. Smart was great in the second half for OSU
Smothered Chicken!
Semja is a beast! He is my favorite player to watch kid is a warrior. The quiet killer. Averaging 24 in his last 5 games. 22 pts on 61% shooting with elite defense in big east play. I love his game. He could be a star at the NBA level if he learns to shoot.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bask...-best-freshman"I was curious because I want to be great, I want to be the best at my position one day," he said. "I'm trying to learn everything and what other people did. All of the great big men went to college at least two or three years. I think it's a big factor. I don't know if it will always work, but I think it's the best choice."
I've been an Embiid fan since the Champions Classic thing, but I feel like another year could suit him very well. I don't want to see him rushed to the NBA, and reading the article it sounds like he is a guy who would benefit from having another year of college.
Could the Pacers trade up to draft Doug McDermott?
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Wasn't Harrison on Kentucky supposed to be another Freshman sensation? I saw him play last night and was not impressed
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
His body language is awful and he isn't very smart in terms of bball IQ IMO. He has played better the last few game, but I am not on board yet. His defense is what is most disappointing IMO.
Nik Stauskas has some Lance Stephenson swag to him this year. Kid is playing with so much energy and you can tell he is having fun trying to win.
Draft express has Vonleigh ahead of McDermott. Not sure I agree with that ranking
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
I would expect most to have Vonleh over Doug. I have Vonleh much higher than Doug. Although I am beginning to believe Doug can be a really useful NBA player(Have been on the fence for a while on how he translates still don't like him as a starter, but he should have a place).
Vonleh is special he is on another level prospect wise IMO. We aren't talking about college skill. We are talking about how each translates to the NBA. Vonleh has a game that will translate perfect in the NBA.
Delon Wright is playing well tonight this Arizona vs Utah game is fun. Good defensive battle. I like how both teams play. I love Zona, but damn Utah impresses me 4 really good offensive players. Loveridge Tucker and Wright are really fun to watch.
Nick Johnson is unbelievable such a good defender and with moves like that he is terrific on the offensive end.
Ashley, Jefferson. Gordon, Tark, McConell, Johnson, might be the best collection of defenders I have seen at the college level
Exum has officially entered the draft. Was all but a formality really, but news none the less.
If Vonleh stays another year though, he good get a Blake Griffin climb to number 1 in 2015. He needs strength in the post and he can't screen or seal that well.
People act like there isn't player development in the NBA. Every player has some flaws and arent ready to be great from day one, he should go top 10 in the draft. Plus there is very little chance he goes #1 next year I like Okafor and Turner more. I think Okafor and him have similar games though.
Doing 3hrs of individual work with NBA coaches every day will improve your skills just as much as staying in college(if not more so). If he is mentally ready he should come out.
EDIT: Honestly if I was Vonleh I would want to get out of IU, they aren't using him very well IMO. He doesn't get the ball in places he should IMO, and a lot of that comes down to Crean's offense. (not much reason to seal when the coaches wants to dribble drive all day, and not get the ball in the post. He isnt really being ask to seal. I guarantee you if he was in the Pacers offense his sealing and post play with look a lot better.)

I have been waiting for LSU vs UK. Should be a great battle of good front courts.
Dakich is killing the Harrison's and for good reason. They are in full whine mode tonight. I can't stand their energy and lack of enthusiasm add in the complaining it is just hard to watch them play.
I really love all 3 of LSU bigs they are one of the most talented front courts in the nation.
Wiggins has really learned to compete he has played so hard tonight.
Chris Walker at FLA has been cleared to play be waiting for that all season. Kind of hard to fit him in mid conference season, but im sure Billy will make it work.
I am leaning toward Wiggins being the #1 on my board, he impacts the game in so many way elite elite defender and an elite rebounder. Still a lot of ball left to be played but he is very impactful.
Embid just got a offensive rebound being held and exploded for a dunk what a quick leap.
also notice Ryan Carr is at the game dude has the life being a scouting director.
J. Riddell @Joshua_Riddell 3m
Andrew Wiggins is going to become Exhibit A as to why you should wait to evaluate freshmen for at least 15 games
I have been saying this all season it was just lol how people try to predict things so early. Let the kids play and then evaluate after we have a reasonable sample size.

It's been said that this upcoming draft is very deep. I think that some of the Players that the Pacers scout and think has the potential to be a very solid NBA Player will fall to the 2nd round and that Bird will trade up to get him.
I'm calling it now….perhaps due to lack of hope cuz I see the possibility of losing Lance….but I think that Bird and his scouts will find another "diamond in the rough" in this upcoming years draft. It's not uncommon for some Players that are ranked high for some reason to fall to the 2nd round for whatever reasons.
Well….at least…this is what I am tying to convince myself of.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
PJ Hairston is making me think what could of been at UNC this year. I have been watching him play in the Dleague. He is the best player in the Dleague right now. I was a big fan of his when he played at UNC good 2 way player.
Had class tonight , getting caught up on this Iowa st Okst game wow what a game entering double OT now. This is just fun basketball. Niang fouling out I don't know how Iowa st is staying in this. They have talent all over, but he had been terrific this game. Iowa st is really deep and really unselfish fun to watch.
Kane vs Smart has been so fun to watch. I bet the Pacers end up with someone like Melvin Ejim if we pick late 2nd. Undersized, but productive college player maybe a guy like Talib Zanna slim pickens so late in the draft.
Also so happy LeBryan Nash has morphed into the type of player I wanted him to be. They played through him all OT guy has become a real threat in the post. Glad he went away from thinking and playing like he is a 3.
For real that's his name.
Who is this Exum blowhard, and why is he insisting on playing for LA? He can keep his attitude overseas.

Blackcurrant extract, lutein and zeaxanthin helped reduce eye fatigue and strain in one new study.
People who visually concentrate for hours at a time may have asthenopia, a condition characterized by weak, tired, achy, itchy, teary, burning eyes and dim vision. Researchers in one study gave 13 participants a supplement containing 200 mg of blackcurrant fruit extract, 5 mg of lutein and 1 mg of zeaxanthin per day or a placebo for two weeks. Everyone completed four, two-hour proofreading tasks on four separate days, designed to produce visual fatigue.
After each session, scientists tested rapid eye movement, electrical activity along visual pathways in the brain, facial muscle movement and heart rate. In the movement tests, participants had to focus and quickly move their eyes back and forth between targets at the center of two checkerboards. The blackcurrant, lutein, zeaxanthin group performed much better in all tests compared to placebo. Researchers concluded that blackcurrant, lutein and zeaxanthin can counteract, prevent and help eyes recover from visual fatigue.

The Education of Future Teachers
(Adopted by Council on May 21, 1999)
The scientific societies listed below urge the physics community, specifically physical science and engineering departments and their faculty members, to take an active role in improving the pre-service training of K-12 physics/science teachers. Improving teacher training involves building cooperative working relationships between physicists in universities and colleges and the individuals and groups involved in teaching physics to K- 12 students. Strengthening the science education of future teachers addresses the pressing national need for improving K-12 physics education and recognizes that these teachers play a critical education role as the first and often-times last physics teacher for most students. While this responsibility can be manifested in many ways, research indicates that effective pre-service teacher education involves hands-on, laboratory-based learning. Good science and mathematics education will help create a scientifically literate public, capable of making informed decisions on public policy involving scientific matters. A strong K-12 physics education is also the first step in producing the next generation of researchers, innovators, and technical workers.

England's second-largest city is at the very heart of the country, surrounded by some of the most spectacularly beautiful countryside. and has a special affinity with manufacturing and industry.
Fly to Birmingham with Qatar Airways and you'll also discover a city that is embedded with a strong cultural and literary tradition and has a special affinity with manufacturing and industry. Widely-known as the "City of 1000 Trades" and the "Workshop of the World" during Victorian times, today Birmingham is a thriving, multi-cultural centre that offers outstanding food, retail and business opportunities.
Book a flight to Birmingham to explore a friendly city that embraces new technology and has its sights set firmly on the future.
Birmingham is a city that's proud of its heritage, so you'll find a number of well-preserved, unusual historical locations such as the Jacobean Aston Hall. Visit this mansion during the winter festivities, when it is lit by hundreds of candles to create a truly spectacular effect.
The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is an excellent exhibition space that you can see out. The smaller Barber Institute of Fine Arts, part of the University of Birmingham, also has a fine collection of Pre-Raphaelite works.
Birmingham was and still is an industrial city, and that heritage is celebrated in the preserved water mills such as Sarehole Mill. But the city is also the centre of the silversmith profession, and the city's Jewellery Quarter is still full of highly talented silversmiths and goldsmiths carrying on the tradition. At the other end of the spectrum, Cadbury World celebrates the manufacture of chocolate confectionery in the city, and no trip to Birmingham is complete without a tour of the factory (with the added bonus of some deliciously indulgent samples too!).
Birmingham, like many of the Midland's industrial cities, was founded on its canals, and today the city has a reputation as having more miles of canals than Venice. They have been restored in many parts, and are popular for kayakers and boaters. They also provide 'green corridors' through the heart of the city and are perfect for lazy afternoon strolls or cycle rides.
Birmingham is home to the oldest cinema in the UK, the Electric Cinema in Station Street. Here, film lovers can relax and watch some of the latest intelligent art house cinema in Art Deco surroundings, with a luxury waiter service, sofa seats and a sophisticated, stylish ambience.
One of the UK's largest exhibition spaces is close to the city centre, and the National Exhibition Centre hosts everything from high-tech shows to motoring events year-round. The neighbouring NEC Arena is home to countless sporting events too.
No matter when you travel to Birmingham you'll find plenty of entertainment on offer from numerous live music venues to world-class theatres and sporting events. For cricket lovers, the hallowed ground of Edgbaston Cricket Club, a venue of international importance for test matches and one-day events, is a must-see.
Birmingham is perhaps most famous for being the home of the 'Balti Triangle'. Indian and Asian food is outstanding, and for authentic Balti (invented in Birmingham in the 1970s and not, as many think, imported from India) head to Ladypool Road and Stratford Road in Sparkbrook, which is about two miles south of the city centre.
Elsewhere throughout the city you can find every type of culinary choice imaginable, from Vietnamese to Sudanese, Thai and modern fusion. There are also plenty of fast food outlets for food-on-the-go.
If you are travelling to Birmingham for some retail therapy, then you'll find the variety of shops to be second only to central London.
The famous Bullring shopping centre draws most shoppers, but also seek out the smaller centres such as Pavillions, The Mailbox and the Pallasades (The Mall), located directly above New Street Station.
The principal shopping streets are New Street, High Street and Corporation Street. The Jewellery Quarter, to the north of the city centre, specialises in jewellery, with many independent retailers.
Flights to Birmingham arrive at Birmingham Airport, approximately eight miles from the city centre. A free rail link connects passengers to the main train station and then onto the network for the rest of the UK. Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Birmingham check the visa and passport requirements.

Production monitoring of water/wastewater
A water, sewer and electric utility provider in Florida has develped an automated software system for supply and distribution that substantially improves water operations in the age of high-priced power.
THERE'S A LIMIT to the complexity of the control strategy harried human operators can manage. In a well field, this typically leads to using a simple reactive strategy, such as pumping water whenever required to maintain a constant reservoir level. The problem is that the strategy is inefficient and has a tendency to put a lot of strain on the wells and operating equipment.
JEA, the water, sewer and electric utility provider in Jacksonville, Fla., addressed the problem by developing an expert system that applies the real-time rule logic of human experts to drive several optimizers and models. It provides a sophisticated strategy that makes better use of wells and reservoirs by allowing water levels to rise and fall based on projected demand.
While other utilities are experimenting with this type of automated supervisory control, the JEA system may be the first to operate a production well field directly. The expert system and optimizer have already paid for themselves in a trial application in one well field where JEA has deferred $1.4 million in capital expenses. When the utility rolls the system out to one on its two major grids, it expects to save an estimated $170,000 per year in operating expenses and potential energy sale opportunities, and millions in capital expense deferrals.
JEA provides water service to over 250,000 customers with 100% of the supply coming from groundwater sources. The water supply comes from 39 well fields and associated treatment facilities, and the distribution network is divided into two major grids encompassing a four-county service area with 3,480 miles of water lines.
JEA has been challenged to reduce withdrawal of water from wells to meet tighter consumptive use permit limits, while raising the water quality and lowering operating costs.
Jacksonville, Fla., utility JEA has 39 well fields and 3,480 miles of water lines to manage. It optimizes its well-control strategy with a rules-based expert system from Gensym.
The previous well-control strategy could best be described as reactive. Wells were controlled as needed to maintain reservoirs at full levels. When demand was high, often wells were drawn down over time to levels that reduced their life. Another problem was that the vast majority of energy was consumed during daylight hours when JEA could sell it at a relatively high price. The previous control strategy also caused pumps to be frequently cycled on and off, which generated high maintenance expenses.
JEA took the lead in developing an automated software system for water supply and distribution that substantially improves water operations. EMA Inc. (ema-inc.com), a partner of the rules-engine vendor, Gensym, provided domain expertise and engineering services for the project.
Ideal Versus Real
Automating the entire water supply and distribution network required several different modeling and optimization technologies. But optimizers and models typically fall short in a real-time operational setting because they are grounded in an idealized world that doesn't include upsets, discontinuities, changes in objectives, etc. JEA also had to address the challenge of integrating the various technologies, which required optimizing different elements of the supply and distribution system. The company selected Gensym's G2 comprehensive rules-engine environment for managing the optimizer in real time. This platform integrates and coordinates the technology components and provides real-time event detection and condition diagnosis capabilities that significantly improve the stability and reliability of the overall control system.
JEA's expert system calls a neural-network-based water consumption forecaster to provide hourly consumption forecasts for a specified time, typically 24 hours. The forecaster uses both linear and nonlinear models to predict water consumption based on factors such as historical consumption and weather forecasts. It applies a voting scheme to determine the most robust prediction, one that is not severely impacted by outliers. The total demand for water is allocated across the available sources of supply and then, based on the allocations, detailed schedules for treatment plants and well-field pumps are developed.
Both the distribution and supply optimization apply constraints gathered in real time to minimize distribution and well-field costs. Typical constraints include pump availability, pressure range, pump curve characteristics, flow capacity limits and transfer costs. Supply constraints include pump availability, reservoir level, individual well conductivity, consumptive use permits, pump starts/stops, well draw-down, pump total run time and energy cost profile.
JEA also developed a hydraulic model of its distribution system. The hydraulic model was calibrated using historical samples and real-time data from the JEA distribution network. The distribution optimization model uses a source-demand proximity strategy by which the closest plants serve the local consumption area, augmented by plants further away when necessary. This model includes a nonlinear objective function that allocates a sub-grid's water demand to treatment plants and associated well fields, based on their capacities and the hydraulic properties of the pipes. The objective function is based on the Hazen-Williams equation, which relates energy consumption to flow through a pipe, and forces the optimizer to create hydraulically feasible solutions. The optimal flow profile for each plant is the set point for total flow through the high-service pumps at that plant. The distribution system has no storage, so pressures must be constantly monitored and controlled. A cascaded-flow pressure controller adjusts the pressure set point to drive flow to meet the optimal flow profile.

Bathing & Soothing Your Baby's Skin
Baby Skin Care: Tips for Your Newborn
In this article
Your newborn is home now, and you're settling into a daily routine. Keeping your baby warm and nourished is tops on your list. Baby skin care is just as important.
Newborn skin is delicate -- and so is the baby's immune system. Chemicals, fragrances, and dyes in clothing, detergents, and baby products can cause newborn skin irritation, dryness, chafing, and rashes. However, there's much you can do to protect your baby from these skin problems.
The upside to baby's skin sensitivity? Your touch on your newborn's skin has a soothing, nurturing effect -- and is critical to your baby's development.
Natural Baby Skin Care
A newborn baby is born with wrinkly skin and a protective covering called vernix that naturally peels off during the first week. There's no need to rush it, rub it, or treat it with lotions or creams. (If baby is born past the due date, this process is likely finished while she is still inside the womb.)
With newborn skin care, the adage is "less is more." Here are tips to help protect your baby from developing allergies and rashes:
Resist the urge to bathe your baby frequently. Too-frequent bathing -- more than three times per week during the first year of life -- removes the natural oils that protect baby's skin. That may leave baby's skin vulnerable and dry. It may also aggravate eczema.
Except for drool and diaper changes, newborns don't get very dirty. Babies aren't working 9 to 5 and hitting the gym afterward! For the first month or so, a sponge bath two or three times a week will keep your baby safely clean. In between, simply clean baby's mouth and diaper area with a little water or cleanser.
Once-a-week sponge baths (or even less) are best for newborns with darker skin tones (like African-American). These infants tend to have dryer skin and have a higher risk of skin problems such as eczema.
Don't use Scented baby products in the early months. This can irritate your baby's delicate skin.
Wash baby's clothing before it's worn. Use only baby laundry detergents that are fragrance- and dye-free. Wash baby clothes, bedding, and blankets separately from the family's laundry.

Your baby will learn and grow quickly. Here's what you need to know.

Run-of-the-mill lunch trucks they are not. More than 20 food trucks and carts will dish out caprese ciabatta sandwiches, organic coconut milk-and-spinach lumpias and just-torched creme brulee at the Phoenix Food Truck Festival.
The first-ever event takes place Oct. 22 on a lot in Roosevelt Row, a walkable district of galleries and boutiques in downtown Phoenix.
"They're definitely not the old 'roach coach' you think of; they're not the traditional white lunch truck. Always, when people visit for the first time, they're not sure at first if they're going to like it, but the positive feedback is immediate," says Jason Fimbrez of the Phoenix Street Food Coalition, a 1-year-old group uniting the Valley's "mobile specialty food vendors."
Super Farm Super Truck from Superstition Farm in Mesa will be there. So will Gilbert dessert shop Udder Delights. Other vendors offer everything from Filipino street food and artisan popsicles to barbecue and Cajun-Mexican fusion.
"On a typical day, I could easily spend $30 at three or four trucks. (The festival) gives you unlimited food samples from all the trucks for that price," says Fimbrez, whose group co-hosts the festival with Roosevelt Row Community Development Corporation.
Larger portions will be available for purchase. Four Peaks Brewing Company and Dos Cabezas Winery will serve drinks at a cash bar. Dry River Yacht Club and several other local acts will supply live music, courtesy of indie music store Stinkweeds Records.
Food trucks, which have been increasing in popularity in the Valley over the past few years, assemble at lunchtime on Fridays outside the Urban Grocery and Wine Bar in Phoenix. Some visit farmers markets. Most of the time, they rely on Facebook and Twitter to alert fans to their whereabouts.
Fimbrez says there's a laid-back, almost slowed-down atmopshere around the trucks - many of which serve organic, vegan or gluten-free fare or ascribe to the benefits of fresh, minimally processed food.
"We want you to be able to come and experience what we're all about. It's a different environment, where people are able to come break away from the office or school or whatever it is they're doing, sit outside, have a good meal and just enjoy thier day," he says.

Hi everyone,
I am a Program Director and Instructor for a Pharmacy Technician Program at a college in Idaho. Drugs is my business.
If you can go and buy a DIH. Drug Information Handbook by Lexi-Comp. It is compiled with all kinds of information about drugs and it is catagorized by generic drugs. If you looking for a drug and only know the Brand name it should be in there and you'll just have to go to the page it directs you to. It is about $50 dollars or so but well worth it. You can find them in places like Barnes and Noble etc.
If you can't afford this a good website to go to is RXLIST.com. They have everything you need to know about your drugs too.
For Insurance purposes, if you have insurance, ask your insurance company for a list they have called a formulary. It is a list of all the drugs they will pay for. That way when you go to your Doctor you can take the list and if the Doctor prescribes something that is not on the list ask for something else.
There is also another thing when dealing with medications. There Brand and generics as we all know. Some of you have found that one may work better than the other. This holds some truth to it. When dealing with generic drugs make sure the drug your getting is AB rated. Meaning it will act exactly the same as the Brand. There are a few generic drugs out there that are not AB rated with the Brand. Many pharmacists must look up the drug to see the AB rating. Many times they don't quite know unless they look it up because of the vast amount of manufacturers.
Hope this helps. If you have more questions hopefully I can answer these.
Good Luck to all of you,

Arm feeling OK, Andrus returns to lineup
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Rangers didn't plan on Elvis Andrus returning to action until Thursday or Friday, but after the shortstop approached manager Ron Washington and told him that he was ready to go, the club scrapped that plan and penciled him into the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies.
Andrus missed the previous four games with flexor tendinitis in his right arm.
"He's been doing everything he needs to do and his arm feels good, so there are no limitations," Washington said.
Andrus struck out in his first at-bat of the afternoon and then doubled to center in the third. The Rangers' starters were removed before he could come up to bat a third time.
"It felt good, man," Andrus said. "I was really looking forward to it. I don't like to be on the bench or out of the game. It feels good to be back."
Washington was impressed with Andrus' throws Wednesday.
"It was nice and easy, but he was under control and he got it there, so at least he's not throwing it like he was when we had to shut him down," Washington said. "Now he can just build his strength up."
In the field, Andrus made two putouts and didn't hold back anything when throwing.
"I let it go. Yesterday, I think I was a little careful, but today I felt good with throwing to the bases and stuff," Andrus said. "I didn't feel anything. I feel a lot stronger."

Female Empowerment and the Traditional Midwives of India
by Soma Mukhopadhyay
© 2011 Midwifery Today, Inc. All rights reserved.
[Editor's note: This article first appeared in Midwifery Today, Issue 99, Autumn 2011.]

A friend in need is a friend indeed. This proverb is very much applicable to the women folk of rural India who earn their livelihood through midwifery. Usually known as dai, or dhais, they play a role of social significance and have served Indian society through the ages. Though society has never taken their profession seriously, now the time has come to reassess their role and importance.
Midwifery is one of the ancient professions of the world. The oldest epic, that of Gilgamesh (c. 2000 BCE), refers to Ishtar of Arebla, the senior midwife and wet nurse of Esarhaddon. In the writings of Hippocrates and two eminent physicians of ancient India, Charaka and Sushruta, are references to the profession of midwifery, as well as to the social status of midwives.
After extensive study of the lives and culture of midwives in West Bengal, I have reached the conclusion that most Indians have very little knowledge of traditional midwives. Most people hold the view that a dai's only work is to cut the umbilical cord of the newborn in a barbaric way (using a sharpened bamboo stick, locally known as chanchari). Yet, the writings of Charaka and Sushruta reveal that midwives used to come from well-to-do families and were well-regarded as wet nurses, not umbilical cord cutters. Unfortunately, we don't know how they gradually lost their social status and became accepted as untouchable by the higher castes.
My field survey of more than a decade has helped me to understand that dais are very experienced professionals who know every bit about delivery and are good practitioners of folk medicine as well. From the very beginning of pregnancy until parturition, they are the main caretakers of expectant mothers.
It was the missionaries who, due to the high rates of maternal and infant mortality, first attacked the age-old techniques of the Indian midwives, addressing them as "dangerous dai." In the mid-19th century, the British government started a midwifery training programme for native midwives that, ultimately, failed. Most of the training required knowledge of English and regular attendance; dais were also fearful of losing their jobs, as most of their clients were satisfied with the indigenous system and would never have allowed the Western medicalization of childbirth.
Imperial policy was ultimately responsible for the failure of these training programmes, as the colonial state intended to terminate traditional practices in order to spread the Western system of childbirth. The imperial government wanted to create a group of nurses and midwives, who would, in time, supplant traditional midwives. Unfortunately, newly educated women of the period also agreed with the views of the colonial state and they wrote a good number of articles in support of replacing dais with "functional" midwives. Yet, India's Western-educated women never thought about their poor sisters, whose only way of earning a living was as a midwife. Thus began the struggle, during a time considered an age of female empowerment, to sustain these traditional birthing communities.
Due to the loyalty of their clients, traditional midwives have sustained their livelihood, and though "trained" midwives are in great demand in hospitals to serve the urban elite, they have never replaced traditional midwives at homebirths. According to dais' clients, it is better to call a dai rather than a "trained" midwife, since she provides most of the care, not only during labor, but also afterward during the traditional period of confinement.
After Indian independence, there was some change to the family welfare policy. New training programmes and orientation courses were given to dais in an effort to lower the maternal and infant mortality rates. In the beginning, these policies created new hope among traditional midwives and I have come across a good number of trained dais who've told me how they benefited from these programmes. I have seen the other side of the coin, too. Many village midwives lost interest in these medicalized training courses and say policy makers have never understood the psyche of the midwives.
Regardless, we in India cannot ignore the work of the traditional midwives. They are an asset to our country. It is interesting to note that many traditional childbirth practices, like squatting positions, perineal massage, delayed cord cutting and continuous caregiver support, have recently found scientific validity. Each day, these brave midwives face a new challenge to their existence. It is unfortunate that under the strong influence of globalization, some people oppose the indigenous delivery system. However, many doctors, social activists and researchers are doing good work to empower the traditional midwives. It is our duty to strengthen maternity services in India with serious input from dais, instead of marginalizing them as unskilled birth attendants.
Soma Mukhopadhyay, PhD (Jadavpur University), is a researcher from Calcutta, West Bengal, India, working in the government sector. She is interested in female empowerment and women's health. She has studied the traditional midwives of India for the last 15 years and wrote a book on the subject, Baglar Dai (Midwives of Bengal).

Pressure on the district's hard-pressed accident and emergency services was constantly high over the festive break, with admission numbers at one hospital almost doubling on one day.
A&E staff at Airedale General Hospital were faced with "an exceptionally busy" week in the run-up to Christmas, with significantly higher admissions and attendances, according to Stacey Hunter, the director of operations at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust.
Friday, December 27, brought the highest ever number of emergency admissions at Airedale, almost doubling the A&E department's normal Friday figure.
"While it has been busier than last year, these higher trends were anticipated in our winter plan and I would like to thank all our staff who have worked hard to implement our planned contingencies for such an increase and ensured that our patients have been safely cared for," said Mrs Hunter.
Luckily, the winter sickness bug has not caused any wards to be shut at the hospital so far. But any relatives visiting friends and family in hospital are being asked only to do so if they are well and have not had any symptoms of diarrhoea or vomiting for 48 hours.
Airedale Hospital had more than 85 emergency admissions on December 27 and in all just under 1,000 attendances, which was around the average expected for this time of year.
A spokesman said there was not a single event or circumstance such as the bad weather that had triggered the big numbers of admissions. Thanks to more GP surgeries staying open over Christmas, there had not been many inappropriate attendances at A&E either.
"We would like to thank our GP colleagues who have supported the local community by opening over the weekend," said Mrs Hunter.
"Some will be doing so again this upcoming weekend, as well as our staff who have also worked incredibly hard to care for some very poorly patients."
More than 40 GP practices in the Bradford district opened on extra days over Christmas, with an NHS Stay Well campaign urging people to check if their own practice was open first and arrange an appointment there instead of going to A&E.

Happy New Years Eve! And a New Frosting Recipe
In case you haven't noticed, I haven't made many cupcakes recently. I don't know if I just got burnt out or what, but I've been making more bars and cookies recently. Bars are especially low maintenance which makes them so much easier to make than cupcakes. But cupcakes will always hold a special place in my heart. And I'll continue to make them.
I actually made these cupcakes earlier in the year for a weekend getaway to a friend's family lake house. I thought these photos with the sprinkles were perfectly festive for New Years Eve! Hubby and I are off ringing in the new year in Las Vegas with a big group of friends!
Since it's our first trip to Vegas, I'm sure we'll have a bunch of fun and plenty of stories to share when we get home. But for now, lets talk more about cupcakes. For these cupcakes, I used a classic chocolate cupcake recipe but I decided to try a new frosting recipe.
I used the new neon colored cupcake liners that have been in the grocery store this year. I love them because in general, the Wilton cupcake liners that come in a bag at stores like Michaels are cute, but they always seem to be a bit off in size. The cupcake liners that I order online are great – vibrant colors and the perfect size – but they're a bit pricey. By default, I mostly use the classic pastel colored liners that come in the round plastic container, but recently, they've had these neon colored ones that are great. I can't get enough of them!
This frosting has a great bakery-frosting flavor. It's very sweet and everyone really enjoyed it. It had a decent amount of stiffness that was perfect for piping onto cupcakes as well. I will definitely be making this frosting again.
Dawn's Buttercream
1 cup Crisco
1 pound powdered sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons meringue powder
Cream shortening, water and flavoring.
Add powdered sugar and meringue powder. Mix until blended.
Add additional water until you reach the desired consistency. If you want really white icing be sure to use a clear extract. Vanilla extract will make the icing off white.

You're right, that IS a very festive photo! The colors of the sprinkles are so vibrant and really pop against the dark background. Looks delicious!
I made the mini ham & cheese sandwiches…and WOW! They are fantastic! Thanks for the recipe.
That frosting is really great and versatile! I am so glad you enjoyed it! Beautiful cupcakes!
They do indeed look festive.
Happy New Year!
Mmm, they look great and I love the sprinkles on top! Happy New Year!
Dorothy – so glad you enjoyed the ham and cheese sandwiches!
wow, those cupcakes look amazing. I've got to try that frosting, since I typically am not a huge fan of a chocolate on chocolate–this seems to be a great alternative!
I'm always up for a new frosting recipe!
So cute and super festive!
Those liners are so cool, never seen neon ones.
Ooh, I've never seen a buttercream frosting recipe with meringue powder before! I'll have to try that. 🙂
These are beautiful cupcakes! I just made chocolate cupcakes today. I wish I could frost mine as well as you do.
Hi, your cupcakes look lovely. Can i check if the coffee is added ice cold or room temperature?
Jacelyn – Room temperature coffee would work just fine.
I've done a similar frosting with meringue powder but substitute half butter for half the shortening. Seriously, much nicer mouth-feel, and delish! Butter rules, but melts often, so half and half is a great compromise!
I love the sprinkles, AND the LINERS! I've been dying for a reason to buy greaseproof liners… mmmm.

i have a NI 6251 and want to generate n periods of a signal and record it again.
Recording should start at the same time as the generator starts.
I tried something, but i got stuck. Perhaps you can give me a good hint?
I tried the Codecapture Tool to show my code here. Hope used it
Hi Jonas,
could you please post some default values of tau 1 and S per Period for which you want your VI to work. Problem is that frequency and rate have to fit together. When I used reasonable values it worked - the signal could be seen on the waveform Graph. When I checked out your code I figured, that you always use one VI too much for each virtual channel. Just don't use the create virtual channel VI's without setting it to e.g. "Analog Input".
If you could explain your code a little more, esspecially the timeout part of your event structure I will be glad to look over the topic once more.
Kind Regards
Hey Jonas,
sry I mixed something up. I didn't see that you were creating tasks before each virtual channel. That's totally fine. But there is one big thing wrong in your code:
You are using "finite samples" while setting up your sample VI for data input. Doing so is alright - but than you can't use a "while-loop" to retrieve this data using a read VI since data is written to the Output channel only once with a finite number of samples. Actually there are some parts in your Code which don't go together like that (e.g. your read VI is set to read from multiple channel - which you don't have). I advice you to look at the example "Multi-Function-Synch AI-AO"
which shows you how to synchronise your in- and output easily. (just alter the code of the example using your event structure and signal conditions)
I hope this helps a little...
i tried the NI example and connected AOut1 --> AIn1 and set the switch to common ground.
It generates a nice signal and i can record it.
I generate a RAMP and i think it should start at 0mV, but it starts at a negative value.
Can i improve this?
Hey your Code now looks better two things came to my mind checking your code:
1.) Your Error-merge VI looks somehow wired -> please check on that
2.) look at the examples again. Most of them use a Trigger VI and sequence structure in order to synchronize in and Output instead of the Errorlines that you are using. Try that and if you get stuck again just post you code in labView editable form so that I can help you improving it to your needs
Best regards
05-03-2012 05:52 AM - edited 05-03-2012 05:53 AM
the code above was 99% from an NI example. Even the strange errormerge is part of the original file.
could you post a link to an example, that could fit?
i am digging through the trigger examples since hours, but i do not find an example that is similar to my problem.
I want to generate for example 10000 samples and record them at the same time again.
Hey Jonas,
now I finally figured what you problem was. Just use the property node for the read vi and set an offset off 1.
If you don't want the Signal to be moving in your graph while continuesly acquiering data in the while loop - make sure to set the number of samples to any numbe ending with 99.
One more thing - I am not so sure, why you want to use an external counter for setting the sampling clock. That way you can only use predefined frequencies - the counter only has certain steps to count down the onboard Clock.
Using the onboard clock directly will give you far more possibilities to set the frequency to any random number you can think of.
I hope this helps you a little bit.
Best Regards
thank you so far, but a .vi is missing to run your attachement.
There was no reason to use the external clock.
The signal should not be recorded continously, but 1 time with a given number of samples
Hey Jonas,
hopefully you found the missing vi. If you didn't... Just open the example "Multi-Function-Synch AI-AO-Ext Dig Trigger.vi" and copy the vi "Get Terminal Name with Device Prefix.vi". I am sure by looking at the layout of the code you'll find the correct vi quiet easily.
On my Computer this example was perfectly synchronised.
Let's hope his solves your problem

LONDON (AP) - British tennis player Ross Hutchins has been diagnosed with cancer and says he hopes to return to the circuit before the end of the year after six months of chemotherapy.
The 27-year-old Hutchins has Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the white blood cells.
Hutchins won titles in Eastbourne and Delray Beach in 2012 with doubles partner Colin Fleming and also reached two other finals. He says "I have been staying very positive, and looking forward to getting back on court."
Close friend Andy Murray dedicated his victory at the season-opening Brisbane International to Hutchins.
Hutchins says "it brought a tear to my eye. He has been very involved talking to me every day, with lots of encouragement."

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.

Yes, we've seen the KettlePizza. Judging by the number of emails I've gotten about it this week, it's been going around the internets,* where blogs are trumpeting it as a "game changer"—without having even tried it.
At Slice, we actually do the homework. That's why we tested this thing when it first made a splash in the pizza world in summer 2010. Read our full test here, but to summarize:
The KettlePizza insert does indeed add some juice to Weber-grill pizza-cooking—once you get the coal temperature and stone temperature up to snuff. And doing that takes a boatload of fuel and a lot of attention.

* Thanks to everyone who emailed these links our way. I might sound a little grumpass above, but I'm mostly exasperated at the blogs who report this as a pizza savior without having tested it.

Jazz Festival to feature trumpet legend Bobby Shew
February 6, 2014
The Ninth Annual Bradley University Jazz Festival will take place on Tuesday, February 25, in the Michel Student Center, located at 915 N. Elmwood.
Fourteen high school bands, guest artist Bobby Shew, and clinicians Edgar Crockett, Nikki Malley, and Mike Stryker will be featured.
Bobby Shew began playing the guitar at the age of eight and switched to the trumpet at ten. By the time he was thirteen he was playing at local dances with a number of bands and by fifteen had put together his own group to play at dances, occasional concerts and in jazz coffee houses. He spent most of his high school days playing as many as six nights a week in a dinner club, giving him an early start to his professional career. His studio work has included TV shows like Hawaii 5-O, Streets Of San Francisco, Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore, Midnight Specials, Don Kirschner Rock Concert, Happy Days, Laverne And Shirley, and Eight Is Enough. His work on soundtracks includes Grease I and II, Rocky I and II, Six-Pack, The Muppet Movie, The Drivers, and Taxi. In addition to a busy performing and private teaching schedule, Shew conducts clinics and master classes at high schools and college campuses all over the world. He continues to tour internationally and to produce and record excellent music.
The visiting high school bands will perform throughout the day, starting at 8 a.m. Those performances are open to the public.
The evening concert will feature the Bradley Jazz Lab Band and Jazz Ensemble with Shew at 7:30 p.m. in the Michel Student Center ballroom. Tickets for the evening concert are $10 for the general public and $5 for students. For more information, call the Bradley Cultural Events Box Office at 677-2650.
The Bradley Jazz Ensemble, under the leadership of Dr. Todd Kelly, is the most visible ensemble in the Bradley Jazz program. They have performed at the Illinois Collegiate Jazz Festival and the Elmhurst College Jazz Festival, as well as three European tours. They have brought many world renowned jazz clinicians and soloists to the Bradley campus, including Mike Lee, The Mike Vax Big Band, Matt Wilson, Rachael Lee, Allen Vizzutti, Ron Jones, Tom Garling, Byron Stripling, Chris Vadala, the Jeff Hamilton Trio, Wayne Bergeron, Denis DiBlasio, Kathy Kosins, Michael Davis, Allen Vizzutti, and Wycliffe Gordon.
The Bradley Jazz Festival is sponsored by Yamaha of America.

National Energy Policy in 50 Pieces
When it comes to energy policy, many Americans underestimate the power of state governments and overestimate the influence of the federal government. If anyone thinks Washington can develop a cohesive energy policy, forget it. It's just not in Washington's DNA. The only power the president and Congress have is the ability to offer incentives and issue regulations. That's about it.
For those not sure about the immense powers of state governments, look at what just happened to Duke Energy (DUK). North Carolina reached into a private enterprise and demanded the chairman, president, CEO and two executive officers be relieved of their duties. The state demanded that the company change its board of directors and its corporate governance....625 more words left in this article.

After eight pre-season friendlies, Beavers joint boss Paul Barry has admitted his side still has a lot of work to do in defence and midfield ahead of the new Ryman Premier season.
Last weekend's 3-2 defeat to a Crystal Palace XI, and Tuesday night's 3-2 win at Egham Town may be exciting for the neutral, and while Barry is revelling in his side's attacking prowess, he has concerns elsewhere.
He said: "Going forward we have plenty of options and are looking good – especially with the wide players we have at our disposal, such as Jerome (Federico).
"We're still tinkering with the defence, and we need to work on the midfield's defensive duties.
"With the ball they are looking good, but without it we are not looking so great."
Beavers were due to travel to Hanworth Villa last night (Thursday) for their ninth workout, with Barry continuing to run the rule over the 22 players in his squad.
He said: "We've had so many friendly games because we have a lot of players to watch.
"Those who played on Tuesday will not play against Villa.
"But we're also struggling for training pitches, so the best way to watch the players is during game time."
He added: "To be fair, the pre-season is getting a bit tedious, and we're all just waiting for the season to start."
Hampton & Richmond Borough go to Fleet Town on Saturday.

Recommendation on the removal of fences in stadiums (99/2)
(adopted at the 19th meeting, 9-10 June 1999, of the Standing Committee of the European Convention on Spectator Violent and Misbehaviour at Sports Events and in particular at Football Matches;
1. The tragic events of the 1980s in football stadiums led European countries to take practical steps to prevent and control spectator violence and misbehaviour at football matches. Fences and other barriers were installed in football stadiums to separate rival teams' supporters in the stands and/or prevent spectators from invading the pitch.
2. These fences and barriers created a cage-like environment in Europe's stadiums. Being unsightly and having negative connotations, they are not conducive to the creation of a harmonious and festive spirit at football matches. Indeed, they heighten the tension and the feeling of alienation among spectators. Furthermore, fences can be a safety hazard, particularly when crowds panic. Fences around pitches, for example, hinder evacuation in an emergency.
3. Since the period when fences were installed, stadium design and crowd control techniques have progressed. Renovation work on many football grounds has considerably improved spectator facilities, for example in terms of refreshments, ladies' lavatories, etc, making stadiums pleasanter and more attractive places for the whole family. Another major improvement in spectator safety has been the introduction of numbered seating-only arrangements. In addition to these innovations, modern information and communication technologies and high-powered video surveillance systems have been installed, the ticket sales system has been improved, a better method of controlling access to the stadiums developed, appropriate legislation with effective sanctions introduced and better European police co-operation instigated. Enhanced stewarding techniques have also improved conditions for the reception of spectators and helped to create an environment that discourages violence. Lastly, police forces are now more experienced in crowd control.
4. The last European championship (Euro 96) and the 1998 World Cup championship in France were held mainly in stadiums with no fences. The removal of fences from most grounds has not led to any increase in spectator violence, except for a few minor incidents. This state of affairs prompted the Standing Committee to reconsider its policy in this matter. On the basis of the experience of Euro 96, it adopted a statement on fences and barriers (appended) at its 17th meeting, on 5 and 6 June 1997.
5. The same applies to the 1998 World Cup in France where the removal of fences in most stadiums had no adverse effect on safety, except in a few isolated incidences.
In its evaluation report on the 1998 World Cup, FIFA concluded:
"The removal of perimeter fences in most of the stadia did not exacerbate the safety situation at all, except in a very few isolated cases. The crowd fully respected the fact that the field of play is sacred. This should further encourage FIFA and the national associations to continue to dismantle perimeter fences, even for league matches. Of course the undersigned is perfectly aware that World Cup spectators are quite different from those who attend normal first division matches in most European countries." (cf T-RV (98) 16).
6. In the national reports to be presented to the Standing Committee at its 19th meeting, one of the questions concerns fencing. A total of 20 delegations supplied information on the situation and trends in their countries concerning the removal of fences. In 5 of these countries there are no fences in football grounds, while another 2 have fencing in only a third of their stadiums. Nine countries are gradually removing fences or replacing them with lower, more attractive barriers or transparent Plexiglas. Only 4 countries are in favour of keeping fences. This means that a large majority of European countries have already set about removing fences from their stadiums.
7. It is interesting to note that countries, like England and France, that recently staged major international championships (Euro 96 and the 1998 World Cup) pioneered the move to dismantle fences in stadiums in the wake of this experience. The international championships they hosted provided these countries with an incentive to improve their systems of safety, crowd control, stadium design, stewarding (see Recommendation No. 1/99 on stewarding) and so on. Their examples show that the removal of fences should be one of the measures taken to improve safety arrangements as well as conditions for the reception of spectators in football stadiums.
8. The removal of fences also seems to go hand in hand with the development of a more festive, family-friendly atmosphere. Removing physical barriers undoubtedly helps to get rid of mental barriers: "good treatment breeds good behaviour".
9. In the light of these considerations, the Standing Committee recommends to the States parties to the Convention to proceed to the removal of fences in sports grounds. The removal of fences, which is primarily the responsibility of stadia owners and/or organisers of matches, could be carried out on a voluntary basis and gradually. The principle should be the removal of all fencing; but, where necessary, other measures or means of a less irksome nature could be used to keep spectators off the pitch, such as the installation of low, removable barriers and the adjustment of the height of terraces or of the first row of seats. Finally, this new strategy should be implemented in concert with the national and international football organisations, and Parties could offer incentives to help with improvements to the physical fabric of stadia.
Appendix to the Recommendation
Adopted by the Standing Committee at its 17th meeting on 5-6 June 1997 in Strasbourg
"The consequences of major outbreaks of spectator violence and misbehaviour in the 1980s included, inevitably, restrictive measures such as the erection of perimeter fences and obstacles to protect the playing area. This has led to restricted views and a less welcoming environment.
Certain measures which could eventually make it possible to remove perimeter fences have been identified.
The Standing Committee notes these with satisfaction and looks forward to the day when such fences and barriers will no longer be needed.
The Standing Committee considers that the basic prerequisites for this, developed to a sufficient standard, include:
- The introduction of all seater and numbered seats stadia, equipped with closed-circuit television and command and control posts.
- Adequate management of ticket sales.
- The improvement of crowd control management techniques (both by police forces and by football bodies), with a growing role for stewards illustrating the shift towards self-policing and self-responsibility.
- Better national and European police cooperation for the identification of potential trouble makers and better security.
- The introduction of appropriate legislation, with effective sanctions for convicted offenders.
All Parties to the Convention agree to work in the same direction so that major matches can be sources of peaceful enjoyment.
The example of Euro '96 shows that if all other measures are in place, perimeter fences can be removed and police presence reduced in stadia.
At its next meeting, the Standing Committee aims to adopt a strategy to achieve this."
