A compact, or multi-state, license allows a licensed Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to work in another state without having to obtain licensure in that state. The state where the nurse is licensed and the state where the nurse works must both be part of the compact agreement.
Currently, there is no Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) multi-state license. To work as an APRN in Delaware, an APRN must hold a Delaware-issued APRN license regardless of compact state status.
Compact States
States that are part of the agreement are compact states. Not all states are compact states. For a list of compact states, click NLC Member States.
If you are an RN or LPN who is licensed and resides in a compact state, you may practice in Delaware or any other compact state based on the issuing state's multi-state license as long as your permanent residence remains in the compact state where you are licensed.
If you are an RN or LPN working in Delaware under another compact state's license and you move to Delaware and establish Delaware as your primary residence, you must obtain a Delaware multi-state license within 90 days of establishing residence here. To prove that you are a resident of Delaware, you must provide a copy of a Delaware:
Note: A Delaware multi-state license has the words "Multi-State" printed on the license.
If you are an RN or LPN who holds a valid, current, unrestricted Delaware multi-state license, you can practice in any of the compact states without applying for licensure in those states as long as your primary residence remains Delaware. However, if you move from Delaware to another compact state, the Delaware multi-state license is no longer valid. You must obtain a license in the new compact state within 90 days of establishing residence there.
Both Maryland and Delaware are compact states. If you are a Delaware-licensed RN living in Delaware, you are permitted to work in Maryland without obtaining a Maryland RN license. Conversely, if you are a Maryland-licensed RN and live in Maryland, you can work in Delaware without obtaining a Delaware RN license. However, if you move from Maryland to Delaware, your Maryland license will become invalid – you must obtain a Delaware license within 90 days of establishing Delaware as your primary residence.
Can I have a license (RN or LPN) in Delaware and Maryland at the same time if my residence is in Pennsylvania?
Answer: Yes. Since Pennsylvania is not a compact state, you must obtain a license issued by a compact state to practice in that state. The license issued by the compact state would have "valid only in [name of state]" printed on it instead of "multi-state."
Do I need a Delaware license (RN or LPN) if I'm moving to Delaware, but I'll be working only in Maryland?
Answer: Your license must be issued by the compact state where you reside. Since you will be residing in Delaware, you need a Delaware multi-state license, not a Maryland license.
Do I need a Delaware license (RN or LPN) if I'm moving to Delaware, but will be working only in Pennsylvania or New Jersey?
Answer: You do not need to obtain a Delaware license unless you are working in Delaware (or another compact state). You would need both a Pennsylvania license and a New Jersey license if you are going to work in both of those states.
How do I know which States are compact states?
Answer: The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) maintains the up-to-date listing of all states in the Nursing Licensure Compact. You can find the list at www.ncsbn.org under the link for Nursing Licensure Compact (NLC).
If I move to Delaware but I just renewed my license in another compact state (e.g., Maryland or Virginia), do I have to obtain a Delaware license right away or can I wait until my license needs to be renewed?
Answer: If you move from one compact state to another, you have 90 days from the time you establish residency in the new compact state to obtain a license in the new compact state. Continuing to work/practice beyond that 90-day limit constitutes practice without a license and is subject to disciplinary action by the Board of Nursing.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the acute effect of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor on erectile dysfunction by evaluating serum oxidative status and prolidase activity.
METHODS: Serum samples of 36 patients with erectile dysfunction and 30 control cases were analyzed for total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, and prolidase activity, before and after the administration of tadalafil citrate.
RESULTS: Before and after tadalafil citrate administration, serum total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, and prolidase were 1.1+0.0 vs. 1.6 + 0.0 umol H2O2 Eq/L, 10.3+1.1 vs. 6.9 + 1.2 umol H2O2 Eq/L, and 236.4+19.5 vs. 228.2 + 19.2 U/L, respectively (p<0.0001 for all).
CONCLUSIONS: Evaluation of serum oxidative status and prolidase activity confirmed the beneficial acute effects of PDE5 inhibitor in patients with erectile dysfunction.
Keywords: Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors; Tadalafil citrate; Total antioxidant status; Total oxidant status; Prolidase.
Although phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors were initially approved for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction (ED), their clinical spectrum has expanded owing to the enormous advances that have been made during the past decade. In preliminary studies, this progress in clinical practice was not restricted to human sexuality, either male or female, other than male ED, but extended to systemic disorders such as cardiovascular conditions and diabetes mellitus, owing to the beneficial effects of PDE5 inhibitors on endothelial functions, depression, pulmonary hypertension, pre-eclampsia, inflammation, chronic heart failure and renal insufficiency, hypertensive disorders, and even to cancer treatment, owing to induction of an apoptotic mechanism.1-5
It is well known that oxidative stress leads to impaired vasodilatation of the coronary, pulmonary, and peripheral vascular beds.6 There is limited information about the effect of PDE5 inhibitors on the serum oxidative mechanism, although its effect in restoring endothelial nitric oxide, which results in vasodilatation and inhibition of chemotaxis and platelet aggregation, is well known.7 In some studies sildenafil citrate has been shown to have protective effects against oxidative stress by inhibiting free radical formation and supporting antioxidant redox systems, and it is suggested that this reduced oxidative stress results in improvement of endothelial function.8,9 We have shown that serum prolidase activity is significantly associated with the presence and severity of vasculogenic ED, and elevated serum prolidase activity may be an independent predictor of ED.1 However, to our knowledge, the effect of the PD5 inhibitors on serum prolidase enzymes, which are closely related to serum oxidative status and endothelial functions, has not yet been documented.
Prolidase is a cytosolic enzyme, necessary for specific splitting of imidodipeptides with proline or hydroxyproline at their C-terminals, and has a major role in collagen turnover and cell growth.10 ,11 The relationship between collagen and prolidase activity was observed during a study of fibrotic processes, where an increase in prolidase activity was accompanied by an increase in tissue collagen deposition.11 The negative effect of free radicals is mediated by degradative agents such as proteolytic enzymes and the final step of collagen degradation is mediated by prolidase.12 Surazynski et al. noted that prolidase may also have a role in angiogenesis since prolidase deficiency is associated with angiopathy.13
In this study, we investigated the acute effects of PD5 inhibitor (tadalafil citrate 20 mg) as an on-demand use PDE5 inhibitor at peak serum level on serum oxidative status and prolidase enzyme activities in patients with ED.
The study included 36 patients with clinically documented ED (aged 37-59 years, mean + SD 49.5 + 6.5) who had been followed up at the department of urology, had a stable monogamous relationship with a female partner, and for whom PDE5 inhibitor treatment had been recently proposed. Controls comprised 30 people with no ED (aged 35-58 years, mean + SD 50.1 + 6.7). The study was approved by Harran University's Institutional Review Board and was performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in the 1975 and 1983 Declaration of Helsinki. The participants were informed about the study protocol and written consent was obtained from all participants before the start of the study.
All patients provided a detailed sexual history, and underwent a physical examination, blood chemistry and endocrine assay, and color Doppler ultrasonography during pharmacologically induced and sexually stimulated erection. Patients with angina during intercourse, unstable angina or any other evidence of recently diagnosed coronary artery disease, poorly controlled blood pressure or orthostatic hypotension, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, significant renal or hepatic dysfunction, anemia, and patients aged >60 years were excluded. Additionally, patients who had been receiving any medication that had an effect on serum oxidative status (vitamin E, vitamin C, L-arginine, etc) within the past 4 weeks or who had undergone pelvic surgery were also excluded. All blood samples for determination of total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and prolidase activities were collected from the subjects just before and 2 h after 20 mg oral tadalafil citrate (Cialis®, Lilly Inc, Istanbul, Turkey) administration - that is, at the peak plasma level, which occurs at approximately 2 h after administration. During these 2 h, subjects remained at rest under clinic conditions and were not allowed to consume anything except water. Blood sample collections were performed in an air-conditioned consulting room at a temperature of 23-25°C.
Measurement Total Oxidant-Antioxidant Status
An automated colorimetric measurement method was used for the analysis of TOS.14 The results were expressed as umol H2O2 Eq/L. TAS was measured by an automated measurement method in which hydroxyl radicals are produced via the Fenton reaction and the colored dianisidinyl radical cations consequently produced in the reaction medium of the assay can be measured by absorbance.15 The results were expressed as mmol Trolox Eq/L.
Measurement of Prolidase Activity
Serum was diluted 40-fold with 25 mmol/L Mn2+, 40 mmol/L Trizma HCl buffer (pH 8.0) and preincubated at 37°C for 2 h. The reaction mixture containing 30 mmol/L Gly-Pro, 40 mmol/L Trizma HCl buffer (pH 8.0), and 100 uL of preincubation serum in 1 mL was incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. The reaction was stopped by adding 0.5 mL 20% trichloroacetic acid solution. The supernatant was used for measurement of proline by the method proposed by Myara et al.,16 which is a modification of Chinard's method.17
Statistical Analysis
Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA) version 11.0 for Windows. Results were expressed as mean + SD for all continuous variables. Differences between control, pre- and post-medication groups were assessed using an independent samples t-test. Differences between pre- and post-medication groups were assessed using a paired sample t-test. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Demographic characteristics and risk factors for ED of the patients are given in Table 1. The serum samples of 30 control cases and 36 patients with ED (body mass index; range 22.029.8 kg/m2, mean + SD 27.0 + 2.2 kg/m2), before and after tadalafil citrate administration (120 min), were analyzed. For controls, serum levels of TOS, TAS, and prolidase were 4.37+0.9 umol H2O2 Eq/L, 1.83 + 0.2 mmol Trolox Eq/L, and 218.09 + 17.5 U/L, respectively. The mean basal and post tadalafil citrate administration serum parameters (TOS, TAS, and prolidase) of the patients are summarized in Table 2. While the mean basal serum level of TAS and TOS were 1.1+ 0.0 and 10.3 + 1.1 umol H2O2 Eq/L, the post tadalafil citrate values were 1.6 + 0.0 and 6.9 + 1.2 mmol Trolox Eq/L, respectively. Both reductions in TOS and increases in TAS serum values were significant (p<0.0001). The mean prolidase activity under the influence of the drug was 228.2+ 19.2 U/L, in comparison with the basal value of 236.4+ 19.5 U/L - a significant reduction (p<0.0001).
This study aimed to document the acute effects of tadalafil citrate at peak serum levels on the vascular system by evaluating serum oxidative-antioxidative status, and prolidase enzyme activities. Tadalafil citrate was chosen for this study, because it has the longest half-life of the PDE5 inhibitors, making it an ideal candidate when switching from on-demand use to its use as a prophylactic drug for any indication in the future. The safety of the drug will be important for regular long-term users.
It has been suggested that oral vasoactive pharmacotherapy, such as PDE5 inhibitor drugs, may provide vasculoprotective benefits for cardiovascular disease as well as for vasculogenic ED.18 Reduced serum oxidative stress is thought to be the foundation of this mechanism. Moreover, in support of this theory from the opposite side, oxidative stress has been shown to have a role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis.19 It was claimed, in a placebo-controlled study, that 100 mg sildenafil improved the serum oxidative status of subjects without any health problems;8 this effect lasted for 1 day. A further study reached the same conclusion in an animal model of second-hand smoke-induced ED.9 Our results for the oxidative status of the patients with ED support these findings for tadalafil citrate and, additionally, we think that the reduced serum oxidative stress may last for more than a day because tadalafil citrate has a longer serum half-life than sildenafil. On the contrary, in a recent study, Burnett et al. found no effect of sildenafil on serum oxidative status in diabetic patients with ED receiving short-term treatment.18 It should be remembered that all three PDE5 inhibitors have similar oxidative activity.19 However, to our knowledge, this is the first clinical study that has evaluated the relation between tadalafil citrate and serum oxidative-antioxidative status, showing decreasing TOS and increasing TAS values with treatment.
Prolidase is a highly specific peptidase that has an important functional role in all human tissues and cells. High prolidase activity has been reported in the brain, heart, liver, muscle and, especially, in the kidney. Hereditary prolidase deficiency -a multisystemic disorder - is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, including skin ulcers, mental retardation, and susceptibility to infections. Oxidative stress results in collagen degradation and this process is mediated by prolidase.12 Moreover, the degree of severity of oxidative stress is directly related to the inhibition of collagen production, and prolidase is thought to be the target enzyme of this process.20 Our study showed that tadalafil citrate significantly reduced prolidase activity at the peak serum level. This might be due to reduced degradation activity, possibly caused by reduced serum oxidative stress. In addition, reduced prolidase activity also confirms the reduced oxidative stress under the action of tadalafil citrate-a topic still debated in the literature.
Fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa and the media of penile arteries, involving loss of smooth muscle cells, is a common process that underlies most cases of vasculogenic ED.21 The concept that progressive fibrosis of the smooth muscle tissue within the penile corpora cavernosa is responsible for the vasculogenic ED associated with diabetes, ageing, heavy smoking, and pelvic surgery, has gained support over the past decade.22 From a functional perspective, this fibrotic process leads to a decrease in the compliance of the corporal tissue after stimulation by the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate system. This inability of the corporal tissue to relax sufficiently to occlude the regressing subtunical veins occurs in most patients with ED23-26 and is termed venous leakage or corporal veno-occlusive dysfunction. Therefore, the study of fibrosis may provide a unifying view of the vasculogenic disorders affecting the penis. Profibrotic factors, the excessive deposit of collagen fibers and other extracellular matrix, the appearance of a synthetic cell phenotype in smooth muscle cells or the onset of a fibroblastmyofibroblast transition, and in the case of the corporal or penile arterial tissue, the reduction of the smooth muscle cellular compartment underlies vasculogenic ED. This histopathology leads either to localized plaques or nodules in penile tissue, or to the diffuse fibrosis causing impairment of tissue compliance that underlies corporal veno-occlusive dysfunction and arteriogenic ED. The antifibrotic role of the sustained stimulation of the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway in the penis and its possible relevance to exogenous and endogenous stem cell differentiation may explain the collagen biosynthesis. The relationship between collagen and prolidase activity was observed during fibrotic processes, where an increase in prolidase activity was accompanied by increase in tissue collagen deposition.27 The negative effect of free radicals is mediated by degradative agents such as proteolytic enzymes and the last step of collagen degradation is mediated by prolidase.12 Surazynski et al. pointed out that prolidase may also have a role in angiogenesis as prolidase deficiency is associated with angiopathy.13 Oxidative stress resulted in collagen degradation and this process is mediated by prolidase.12 Moreover the degree of severity of oxidative stress is directly related to the inhibition of collagen production, and prolidase is thought to be the target enzyme of this process.28 Yildiz et al. showed that increased serum prolidase activity was significantly associated with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease.29 In accordance with their study we have shown that serum prolidase activity is significantly associated with the presence and severity of vasculogenic ED, and elevated serum prolidase activity may be an independent predictor of ED.10 In addition, it was suggested that hypertension and its duration is associated with increased serum prolidase activity and might be useful as a marker for the follow-up of hypertensive patients.11
Several potential limitations of this study should be considered. First, is the cross-sectional design of this study. Usually, to assess the effect of any agent on a molecule the investigation should be based on a chronic treatment set-up but in this study the acute effect of the PDE5 inhibitor was investigated. To extend the findings of our study, assessment of serum prolidase activity in endothelial cells, and evaluation of the association of serum prolidase activity with the presence and extent of atherosclerosis in other regions of the arterial system would better clarify the pathophysiological role of prolidase activity in endothelial dysfunction. Evaluation of the association of serum prolidase activity with the extent of endothelial ischemia would identify the role of endothelial ischemia in increased collagen turnover in patients with vasculogenic ED. Finally, measurement of serum oxidative status and prolidase enzyme activities after daily treatment with PDE5 inhibitor would have added to the value of this study, but this was beyond the scope of this present work.
In conclusion, the results of this preliminary study confirm the beneficial acute effects of PD5 inhibitor in patients with ED by evaluating serum oxidative status and prolidase activity. However, further clinical long-term studies of this issue, particularly including groups at high risk, should be carried out.

We all have them. Walls. Barriers. Insecurities. Spots in our subconscious that we'd like to cover up, keep safe, and not let anyone, even ourselves, disturb them. They are too fragile, too close to our ego, and too vulnerable to damage. We do not work on these areas; instead, we cover them, push them deep down, and ignore them, just so we can be blissfully unaware of their existence. Everyone does it, and we succeed for an infinite amount of time. Until one day. One day, the cover is blown off. The walls around it are cracked and broken, and everyone can see it. The awful truth we have been trying so hard to hide. We are vulnerable, scared, and hesitant of the treatment we are going to have to endure.
We all know this is in our minds. No one can know something about ourselves unless we reveal it. When our walls or barriers are being threatened, they are being threatened by our own minds. When you are trying to hide a certain truth about yourself, you forget where you put it; you hide it so well that you don't realize you start to pile new, less pressing topics on top of it. Eventually, you will need to go through all of your issues – starting with the newer ones that are easier to fix. As you move your way through those with gusto, you accidently dig up the box with the hidden truth. You've gone too far; you can't cover it up again. You realize that box was the foundation for all the other issues. If you had JUST taken the time to work through that first box, perhaps those other issues wouldn't be a problem. So now, you're stuck. You have this box of uncomfortable material that needs to be sorted through. You can look for other chores to accomplish, but you will always come back to this box. You have no choice but to work through it.
Working through your issues is the scariest thing a person can do. Just getting to that point in your life where you realize you are shackled is agonizing. It is similar to going through certain stages of grief – we can deny it, ignore it, accept it, be upset about it, grieve over it, and then finally learn how to integrate it into our lives and make it work for us. The sooner you can pinpoint what is the root problem, the sooner you can figure out how to fix it. The beautiful lesson in this is that our issues or barriers were made by ourselves in order for self-preservation. The great thing about realizing that truth, is that we have the ability to choose a different path for ourselves, merely by our attitude and outlook. We can choose to be happy or sad.
It's your turn to choose.

text: leekenn 118 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 Hello all, I've been working on showreels lately. It's something that I've not really had to do before, and I'm having a little trouble, in both knowing what I should do, and whether I'm doing it well. So far, I've decided to split the music reels into two, one for dramatic orchestral music (my most developed area), and one for the other types of music that I can do and think that devs may want in their projects. I have kept them to around two minutes, with 15 - 20 second clips of tracks. Instead of synching the tracks to footage, I have simply made a short animation of my title and looped it (which of course will not be the case with the sound design demo!) I have some experience scoring films, but I have kept the showreels all about listening. Are these smart decisions? Here is the first one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg1J5plr8Xc Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! As I say, it would be nice to know whether this is something a dev would value being sent, and of course whether or not people think the music is good. Thanks a lot!

Film addresses end-of-life issues
Belfast — "Consider the Conversation," a documentary on end-of-life issues, will be shown Thursday, April 17, at 4 p.m. at the Education Center of Waldo County General Hospital, 118 Norhtport Ave. Following the hour-long film, there will be a question and answer time led by Dr. Deborah Peabody, medical advisor for the hospice services at Waldo County Home Healthcare Services.
While most people agree it is important to talk about end-of-life care and to put one's wishes in writing, less than 25 percent of the population has done so. "Consider the Conversation" is designed to help people begin the conversation about their wishes for end of life care.
Advance directives give individuals control over the healthcare they receive and the ability to name an individual to speak for them if they cannot speak for themselves. Advance directive materials will be available at the showing.
For more information, call 930-2570 or 548- 6147. This event was snowed out in March.
Courier Publications' A&E Editor Dagney C. Ernest can be reached at (207) 594-4401, ext. 115; or email@example.com.

COLD SPRING HARBOR, N.Y., Jan. 29 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists are racing to save the Tasmanian devil from extinction from a unique, transmissible and rapidly spreading cancer.
The process by which the cancer spreads -- physical contact -- has only been seen once before and represents a new field in cancer biology. Once an animal is afflicted, tumors appear on its face and neck, restricting the ability to eat. Within approximately three months, the devils succumb to the disease, often through starvation. Officials project that within 20 years the species could become extinct.
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, led by native Tasmanian Elizabeth Murchison, are attempting to determine how the tumors work at a molecular level.
"Once the cancer genes are fully sequenced, we will have a better chance to identify the cause and genetic makeup of this unique cancer," said Murchison.
The uniqueness of the tumor structure also has human implications.
"We're using all of the research tools employed for understanding human tumor biology," said Gregory Hannon, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator who oversees Murchison's work. "A cure for the devil may have applications for humans as well."

Helderberg Omgee
Helderberg Omgee was established in 2010 by a concerned group of community members representing a broad spectrum of society. Being a community driven establishment we are also a registered Non Profit Organnization. We are alarmed at the social and moral decay in the Helderberg basin and feel ourselves compelled to utilize our expertise and extensive professional networks to make a difference in peoples lives.
Omgee provides a safe haven where adult men of all ages have the opportunity for sufficient recovery before they re-integrate into the community.
It is known that long term results for people recovering from drug & alcohol abuse is alarmingly low. At Helderberg Omgee we are committed to change these statistics. In order to set the tone we expect that.
After release or discharge from a "primary institution" such as a mental hospital, prison or rehabilitation centre, people sometimes go to live in halfway houses. Halfway houses help their residents to successfully reintegrate with society while still under support and supervision.
Halfway houses provide services that help their residents (male or female adults;) to transition with support into the community. Residents are expected to actively look for employment and housing. People incarcerated because of a drug offense and released from prison to a halfway house are on parole and expected to follow strict release conditions as they work on transitioning back into society. If they violate any of their conditions of parole, they are sent back to prison to serve the remainder of their sentence.
Halfway house residents are working on reintegrating back into society as law-abiding, productive citizens. Counsellors are available at all hours to help residents with problems. If, for instance, a resident passes by a part of town where he used to get high and is finding it difficult to stay away from old drug sources, his counsellor will help him work on staying clean. If potential employers are refusing to speak to a resident or interview her because of her past, a counsellor can intervene.
Monitoring and support services might include group counselling, drug and alcohol testing, educational group sessions, vocational counselling, psychosocial evaluations and individual counselling. Some halfway house residents are required to participate in random, unannounced drug and alcohol tests. One requirement of continued residency is participation in counselling and looking for a job. Counsellors take frequent notes and update residents' records as they monitor residents' efforts and progress.
Whatever the primary institution they're coming from, halfway house residents need to work on the issues that led to their rehabilitation or incarceration. Counsellors help residents to identify these issues. They might be referred to additional counselling sessions with a psychologist so they can continue to work on their underlying problems and have a better chance of staying away from old habits, associates and neighbourhoods.

Many in Silicon Valley fear America may lose its position as the centre of the global technology industry amid growing concerns that its web champions have become too close to government.
Google, Apple and Facebook were among nine U.S. companies linked to the secret Prism spying scheme, which allegedly enabled government officials to mine information about individual users directly from their data centres.
Amazon and Twitter were conspicuously absent from the list of nine companies named in leaked documents, but the battle to restore public trust has cast a long shadow over the entire American technology industry.
All the companies named in the documents denied knowledge of Prism. However, U.S. reports have claimed that some of the companies helped to make it easier for the government to access information on its servers.
Analysts claim that services such as Google's and Facebook's are too deeply ingrained in society for users to give them up, but that concern over privacy issues may prompt a backlash against global operators in favour of a new generation of regional players.
Ray Valdes, an analyst at Gartner, said that the scandal has "opened up fault lines".
For users, it is a case of pick your poison. It is deal with the devil you know or deal with the devil you sort of know
"In the long term there is going to be a negative impact on US-based technology companies. There could be regional players that grow stronger, based on users in those regions deciding that they would prefer to trust the local equivalent of Google or Facebook.
"For users, it is a case of pick your poison. It is deal with the devil you know or deal with the devil you sort of know," he said. Analysts also drew a distinction between the prospects for Amazon and most of America's technology titans. The information Amazon holds on its servers may not be as interesting to security services as those held by Facebook, Apple and Google, but the company appears to be more trustworthy at this stage, and stands to benefit in the longer term.
However, all of America's technology chiefs were quick to distance themselves from the Prism operation when it was leaked last week.
Apple said it had "never heard of" the surveillance project, while Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Google chief executive Larry Page issued statements denying any wrongdoing.
Mr Page said on Google's blog that it had not given any government open access to information stored in their data centres, either directly or through a "back door". It responds to individual requests for data about users, as it is sometimes required to under U.S. law, but Mr Page insisted that it was careful to ensure it does not give out more than necessary.
The company, whose chairman Eric Schmidt is an adviser to President Barack Obama, has fought government attempts to access user information before now, famously resisting blanket requests for information by the US Department of Justice in 2006.
Meanwhile, Mr Zuckerberg branded the reports "outrageous" and vowed to fight any blanket requests for information about his network's users.
"Facebook is not and has never been part of any programme to give the U.S. or any other government direct access to our servers. We have never received a blanket request or court order from any government agency asking for information or metadata in bulk," he said.
It was subsequently claimed that the social network agreed to set up a digital "safe room", allowing U.S. officials to automatically retrieve documents it requested under the law. People close to the situation compared the arrangement to setting up a locked mailbox and handing the U.S. government the key.
Analysts and commentators have questioned why those companies that resisted handing over customer information did not raise the alarm over just how intrusive the U.S. government was becoming.

Obesity already is a public health concern and the recent study published in BMC Public Health, concludes that "Increasing population fatness could have the same implications for world food energy demands as an extra half a billion people living on the earth."
The research team of the study used body mass indexes and overall population to calculate the overall weight of the nation. "Total biomass by age-sex group was estimated as the product of the number of people in the group and their average body mass." When it comes to the most obese, and therefore the nation that uses up the most amount of food resources, the United States leads the pack.
Then they calculated the drain on natural resources and compared them to Japan and the U.S. Japan is socioeconomically similar to the United States but has a national BMI which is on the opposite end of the spectrum to the United States.
They calculated that the average BMI in Japan in 2005 was 22.9, and if all countries had the same age-sex BMI distribution as Japan, the total biomass would fall by 14.6 million tons which is a 5 percent reduction in global biomass or the mass equivalent of 235 million people of world average body mass in 2005. Comparatively, the BMI in the U.S. in 2005 was 28.7.
It does make sense to equate overall biomass to consumption patterns, which is something that hasn't been done before. Several studies have shown that people who are obese also produce children with the tendency to become obese, increasing the incidence of childhood obesity. Obese people also tend to consume larger quantities of food, especially meat and processed food – both of which puts a significant strain on natural resources. Obesity also tends to increase within inner city neighbourhoods where people have a poorer diet and no time for exercise. In addition to this, they require larger spaces which means that homes and cars will have to be a lot larger to accommodate them comfortably.
Fighting obesity not only takes lifestyle changes, it needs severe intervention by the government. Enforcing healthy eating habits is a matter of national priority. This is especially true when it comes to tackling the younger generation, and it can only be achieved through education and government support.

Several studies have demonstrated an elevated prevalence amongst professionals of mycobacterium tuberculosis, both in the rate of infections and illness. This study was carried out in a School Hospital in Campo Grande, MS, Brazil, aiming to establish the prevalence of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The results of the analysis of 194 subjects showed an overall positivity for the tuberculin test of 38.7%. There was a correlation with smoking (p=0.01, RP=1. 72 (1.20-2.45- Yates's correction). The conclusion is that the establishment of a program of tuberculin screening jointly with the implementation of interventions is necessary in order to reduce the risk of nosocomial transmission.

Ex-reporter Hildy Johnson, recently divorced from fast-talking newspaper editor Walter Burns, pays him a visit at the office of the
Morning Post
to tell him that she is marrying mild-mannered insurance salesman Bruce Baldwin. When Hildy enters, Walter is engrossed by the story of the impending execution of Earl Williams, a timid bookkeeper who has been sentenced to die for killing an African-American policeman. To lure Hildy back, Walter lies that his star reporter is preoccupied with the birth of his first child and the paper needs her to cover the story. Hildy rejects Walter's bate and announces that she is engaged, tired of being a newspaperman and now just wants to be a woman. Walter insists upon meeting Hildy's fiancé and invites them to lunch. At lunch, Walter learns that the couple are leaving with Bruce's mother, Mrs. Baldwin, on the four o'clock train to Albany. Scheming to win Hildy back, Walter convinces Bruce that only a story written by Hildy can save the wrongly-convicted Williams. Hildy calls Walter's bluff, but agrees to write the story if Walter will purchase a $100,000 life insurance policy from Bruce. Walter eagerly consents, and while he returns to the newspaper office with Bruce for a medical examination, Hildy goes to the press room at the criminal court's building, where she is welcomed by her cynical fellow reporters, who warn her that she will never be able to give up the newspaper business. After interviewing the befuddled Williams, Hildy returns to the press room where she meets Molly Malone, the only person who has shown compassion toward Williams. Her act of kindness has won her the contempt of the reporters, and when they begin to taunt her, Hildy takes pity on Molly. Soon after, Bruce telephones Hildy to tell her he has been arrested for stealing a watch. Knowing that Walter has master-minded Bruce's arrest, Hildy bails Bruce out of jail and then returns to the press room where she telephones Walter with her resignation. Hildy's farewell speech to her fellow reporters is cut short, however, by the sound of gunshots and the news that Williams has escaped. Hildy's reporter's instincts supplant her common sense, and after notifying Walter about Williams' escape, she tackles Warden Cooley for the story. While Bruce waits in the cab for Hildy to write her story, Walter sends Evangeline, a moll, to frame Bruce, whom he describes as "looking like that fellow in the movies, Ralph Bellamy." After bribing Cooley for his story with $450 of Bruce's money, Hildy calls Walter and demands repayment. In response, Walter sends his stooge, Louis, to Hildy with $450 in counterfeit money. Soon after, Hildy receives another call from Bruce, who has been jailed for "mashing." Meanwhile, Sheriff Peter B. Hartwell and the Mayor confer about their political fortunes. The Mayor and sheriff, who head a graft-ridden administration, need the execution of Earl Williams to deliver the black vote on election day. Consequently, when Joe Pettibone arrives with a reprieve for Williams from the Governor's office, the two try to bribe Pettibone into forgetting the reprieve. Back at the press room, Hildy is waiting for Louis to deliver her money when Earl Williams climbs in through the window. Interrupted by a phone call from Bruce, who is still waiting for her to bail him out of jail, Hildy impatiently tells him to wait and then calls Walter to tell him that she has found Earl Williams. Hildy's call is followed by Molly Malone pounding on the press room door. When Molly sees Williams, she bursts in the room and when the reporters begin to file in, Hildy and Molly hide Earl in a roll top desk. Mrs. Baldwin then enters the room and begins to chide Hildy about foresaking Bruce for a murderer. To divert the reporter's questions, Molly jumps out the window. The reporters run out of the room to examine the extent of Molly's injuries just as Walter and Louis arrive. Walter orders Louis to kidnap Mrs. Baldwin while he makes plan to transport the desk that Earl Williams is hiding in back to the
. Walter then fast-talks Hildy into writing the story, and as Hildy pounds out the account on her typewriter, Bruce walks in, demands his money and tells Hildy that he is leaving on the nine o'clock train. Hildy then hands Bruce the counterfeit bills. Hildy is still writing her story when a disheveled Louis enters with the news that he was in a car crash and left Mrs. Baldwin at the scene of the wreck. Next, the sheriff and reporters return, and the sheriff begins to question Hildy. They are followed by Mrs. Baldwin who accuses Walter of kidnapping. Walter, agitated, pounds emphaticially on the desk and when Williams responds, the sheriff opens the desk and finds the fugitive. The sheriff then handcuffs Walter and Hildy and threatens Walter, who responds that the "last man who did that to me was Archie Leech." Just then, Pettibone enters with Williams' reprieve, forcing the sheriff to release Walter and Hildy. As Walter advises Hildy to go after Bruce, Bruce calls and tells Hildy that he has been arrested for spending counterfeit money. Realizing that Walter has tricked her once again, Hildy breaks down and cries and Walter calls his city editor, Duffy, to announce that he and Hildy are getting married and will spend their honeymoon in Albany covering a strike story.

The onscreen credits of the film contain the following written prologue: "It all happened in the "Dark Ages" of the newspaper game--when a reporter "getting the story" justified anything short of murder. Incidentally, you will see in this picture no resemblance to the men and women of the press today. Ready? Well, once upon a time---" According to an Aug 1939 news item in
, production on the film was postponed because Irene Dunne, who was originally slated to play the role of Hildy Johnson, felt the role was too small and insisted that the writers rewrite her part. Another news item in
notes that Claudette Colbert, Jean Arthur and Joan Crawford were also considered for the role. Modern sources add that Jean Arthur was suspended for refusing the part. In a modern interview, director Howard Hawks stated that he conceived the idea of changing the character of Hildy Johnson from a man, as he is written in the play, to a woman when he heard Hildy's lines read by a woman. According to Hawks, he was trying to prove that the
Front Page
contained the finest modern dialogue ever written, and he began to read the part of Walter and asked a woman to read Hildy's part. Realizing then that the dialogue worked better between a woman and a man than between two men, Hawks called up writer Ben Hecht and suggested changing Hildy's character to a woman. Hawks also noted that the fast pace of the film was created by overlapping the actors' dialogue and making them talk fast. In an interview, Ralph Bellamy said that Cary Grant ad libbed the line in which Grant's character, "Walter Burns," describes his character, "Bruce Baldwin" as looking like "Ralph Bellamy." Grant's real name, Archie Leech, was also used in the film. For other films based on the Ben Hecht-Charles MacArthur play, see entry above for

, starring Burt Reynolds and Kathleen Turner and directed by Ted Kotcheff, was the only other male/female version of the play.

The 24-year-old man shot by a San Diego police officer at a downtown apartment near Horton Plaza over the weekend was identified Monday as an active-duty sailor.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Esteban Nandin, who is stationed at Coronado Naval Amphibious Base, was wounded in the upper torso and arm in the 3 a.m. shooting Sunday at the Market Street Square Apartments, homicide Lt. Jorge Duran said.
The sailor's father, Pedro Nandin, said his son is from Eagle Pass, Texas, and joined the Navy right out of high school.
Esteban Nandin has been in the Navy about six years. He works as an electronic technician with an explosive ordnance disposal unit, Navy officials said.
The elder Nandin said that his son had seen tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, and had been in San Diego for about four years. He said he had no idea what led to Sunday's incident.
The father said the last time he talked to his son was Tuesday. "He was on his way to a yoga class," Pedro Nandin said.
Neighbors reported to police early Sunday that Nandin was wandering around the apartment complex on Third Avenue near Market Street carrying a military assault-type rifle while wearing a tactical vest and a gas mask, Duran said. He was also carrying a handgun.
Seconds after officers entered the building, they found Nandin in a stairwell leading from the lobby to the garage.
As an officer opened the door to the landing, Nandin raised the rifle in his direction and the officer fired at him twice. Duran said they were only two to three feet away from each other.
"They were standing face to face," he said.
Officers retreated and ordered Nandin to come out, but he remained holed up in the stairway for about 50 minutes until finally leaving through a side door.
Duran said Nandin walked down Third Avenue, ignoring officers' orders to stop and then surrendered on Market Street, where medics treated him before he was taken to a hospital.
Nandin underwent surgery and has been sedated, Duran said. He said they do not know the motive for Nandin's actions but suspect alcohol may have been involved. There is no indication he wanted to commit suicide, Duran said.
Duran said Nandin lived at the complex by himself and that neighbors reported he had been there for at least the last few days.
Pedro Nandin said he has not been able to talk to his son since the shooting but hopes to travel to San Diego to see him.
The officer who shot Nandin has been with the department for 18 years. Police have not yet released his name.

New Zealand Rugby
Next South Africa, then the World for All Blacks
August 9, 2010

With the Bledisloe Cup secured for another year, the All Blacks now have their eyes on beating the Springboks in South Africa and carrying their dominant form through to the World Cup next year.
Success has come so readily to this All Blacks team that their major challenge appears not to lie in any opposition camp but in their own ability to maintain their high standards and not peak a year out from their world championship tilt on home soil.
After accounting for the Wallabies 20-10 in Christchurch on Saturday, centre Conrad Smith admitted the New Zealand camp was now focusing on the build up to the World Cup.
"If we could keep that going into next year, it's pretty powerful," he said. "We had to work pretty hard to come away with a good win and lock that cup away is a nice feeling. We felt pretty sound. We were well tested obviously and there were long periods when we were having to tackle and apart from the one try, which was really against the run of play, it felt like we defended really well."
The All Blacks plan to further improve their credentials by overcoming arguably their toughest challenge this season - knocking off the Springboks in front of 90,000 screaming South Africans in Johannesburg's National Stadium at altitude on August 21.
New Zealand lost both their matches in South Africa last year so they have put extra emphasis on the Tri-Nations match as a way to test themselves to the limits.
"South Africa will be the best they can be," All Blacks coach Graham Henry said. "That is a huge challenge, and something I think the team needs, and we will look forward to as long as we do it right between now and then. We will just continue what we have done over the last four games of the Tri-Nations."
Planning for Johannesburg has been bubbling away for some time. Captain Richie McCaw and his men will rest for most of this week before gathering in Sydney on Saturday and spending nearly a week on the high veldt.
"Having a week off comes at a pretty good time because the last five weeks have been pretty big really," McCaw said. "The Tri-Nations is still there to be won. It's going to be a big challenge playing in Johannesburg ... but one we'll get excited about too."
Veteran fullback Mils Muliaina - the leading Tri-Nations try-scorer with four after bagging the opener against Australia on Saturday - said the grinding nature of the Christchurch win would hold them in good stead. Mental strength would be vital against the Springboks, an area that let them down in Bloemfontein and Durban last year.
"We'll probably touch on that before we leave. We were pretty disappointing last year, losing two games in a row," he said. "This result will give us a bit of confidence. We've got a couple of weeks to reflect on it and get a bit better. We were probably off a bit in terms of the attacking side but definitely with our defence we'll take a lot of confidence to Jo'burg."
Lock Brad Thorn said he relished the prospect of playing in front of a crowd close to a career-high 94,000 who watched the 2000 National Rugby League final, in which his Brisbane Broncos triumphed at Stadium Australia.
"It's just noise and you just bathe in it. It's just a gift to be amongst it," Thorn said. "(Saturday night) was fantastic but I've always said the bigger the crowd, the more I love it. And I'm sure the Africans have had a month to think about things and they'll come out 100 miles an hour, I wouldn't have it any other way."

Unable to save Default Gateways in Network Settings!
I want to save the Default Gateways in Advance TCP/IP Settings for my network adapter. I used the following sequence to set the values:
1. Open Adapter Settings (LAN Properties).
2. Select IPv4 and click on Properties.
3. Click Advance.
4. In the Popup select to add Default Gateways for both my Wired and Wireless network.
5. Click OK to close all open windows.
When I again open the settings, the changes in Default Gateways are all gone..
The default gateway for both my wired and wireless network are same and both are connected to internet. I want to prefer wired over wireless whenever it is connected.
I already tried changing Interface Metrics with no use at all.
I searched the internet and got the information to select the default gateways with proper metrics.
Please help me out in this!

Hi Dave,
Thanks for replying, yes they are in same IP range.
Sometimes I use to connect to my Wi-Fi router and sometimes used to connect wire to connect to the network. Basically, when I want to boost speed, I use wired network, other times I use to connect to wireless.

British TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has lifted an injunction he took out last year (Oct10) in a bid to keep his ex-wife from going public with secrets about his private life.
The Top Gear host applied for the gagging order against Alexandra Hall, who he was married to for a year in 1989, to prevent her from writing about their relationship.
Hall alleges they continued a sexual affair during his marriage to current wife Frances.
On Wednesday (26Oct11), Clarkson applied to London's High Court to have the ban lifted and admits he is relieved the order has been withdrawn.
He says, "Injunctions don't work, they are pointless. If you have one, everyone on Twitter and the internet knows you've got it. But because I am bound by the same order, I can't speak about it or defend myself. There is an assumption that I am guilty because I can't say anything. My wife and I decided to let it go. My ex-wife is now free to tell her story and people can either believe it or not, it's up to them."
Hall is now hoping to tell her side of the story, adding, "I just want the truth to come out. It feels like a huge cloud has been lifted from above me."

Hello fellow gamers, after getting my game early and having a good 6 hour bash on it i can now share my first impressions with you guys.
Before that i want to state that im a Gran Turismo Fanboy so that kinda shows one person that wanted the game to be faultless was me.
Well lets start by saying ITS NOT ALL GOOD NEWS, personally im disappointed with PD and i know many others will too.
SO lets start with :
Pros :
Not sure about these last 2.
I'll say this because i have yet to see any damage at all and any dynamic weather aswell so i cant comment on those but if sources are right they are very good.
Now to the things i already found wrong with the game already. (Remember its only MY opinion).
I will try to give reasons why i think these stand out as cons at least IMO.
The problem is not them being standard at all, the problem is that they look total *****.When i look at them it reminds me of cardboards drawings just because everything is on and you cant even see where the different parts cant merge together.
Im not trying to sound overdramatic here but they do look awful and when you guys have the game in your hands you will see why.
On top of that they can be race moded and you can add spoilers and that kind of stuff but you CANT change the stock rims so whats even the point of adding a spoilers or other piece of aerodynamic stuff when the aesthetics look all messed up.
Something else worth mentioning is that all standard cars are considered used and they all under ONE car lot which only shows 30 cars at one time and takes few minutes to refresh if i noticed right, so good luck finding the old gem you looking for.
Seriously B-Spec this time round is just retarded, well maybe not the mode but the drivers are.
Basicly its B-Spec from GT4 only difference is you have a bit more info to look at, you can choose the camera style you would like, you also gotta make/hire a driver call it what you will and then when it comes to racing you have 4 an ALMIGHTY 4 inputs :
Slower Pace
Maintain Pace
Increase Pace
Now that wouldnt be a problem until you try to figure out how to calm down your driver because he is very angry for some reason.
If you dont calm him down you can kiss your race goodbye because he will commit mistake after mistake and nothing you can do.
Remember the very first cup of GT4, well he cant even win the FIRST race of the same FIRST CUP.
On top of that polyphony increased laps for B-spec so expect to do an average of 4-6 laps per race at the beggining and increasing has you open further cups.
Now the biggest annoyance of all...WAIT FOR IT... They TOOK OUT the SPEED UP FUNCTION in B-Spec so you gotta sit and watch 6 laps of your moronic driver making mistakes.
I think thats it for now, i had more in my head but with all the writting i forgot.
IMO i think this game does not reach the standard it was suppose to.
If they spend less time you nascar schooling bull***** challenges and s making premium nascar cars and actually made some more premium cars which are at this present time considered standard and look like ***** maybe GT5 would have been the game everyone was expecting.
Of course thats not all 20 tracks with different variations.Where are the missing tracks that were in GT4?
Why spend about 6 months making the new Red Bull car they put into the game when more things needed some attention?
Why make Prologue when the actual GT5 Real Driving Simulator needed more time invested into it.
They wanted to make the PERFECT GAME but they forgot the basics in the midst of this.
Nearly 6 years and still feels like an incomplete game.
Oh well still not a bad game but its far from perfect.
Thanks for reading and sorry for my poor grammar.
P.S - Will be answering questions when i can about the game.
I have both FM3 and GT5, and i can say this, for all the hype and pomp from PD and Sony, well GT5 isn't as gret as i expected, so much so that i'd say FM3 could like FIFA games and Pro Evo, start to nudge ahead as the true petrol heads game of choice.
Not happy with GT5 yet i still play FM3. The physics in GT5 arent as good as people are making out either.
i totally agree haha... ive been playing racing-games since 1997 and know the first gt-game, which was the best gt game ever made (in my opinion that is) they call GT5 a racing simulator... it is all but that !!!
in reallife racing u can nudge eachother for exemple, which is not even allowed in the game.
i send the game back to the store and got my money back, cos its so unrealistic in every way compared to other racing-games i would call it an abomination. if you cant even steer a super slow car through a corner normally......... its a shame for all racing-games fans that they had to wait so long for this disappointment. my first racing-game was F1 1997. made by bizarre-creations, now i bought a very funny and simulator-like game from them again, namely Blur. at least these guys learned something in 13 years about race-games. Good luck with the game, and commiserations my friend.
a fellow petrolhead
I just bought a convertible BMW, and I wanted to know if you could race with the roof down?
Okay, yes a fan myself.. waited 2 years to purchase the GT5 signature..
"$300 tin box of disapointment"
If any one knows where to find the 'open wheelers' and/or a pre 79' car that will actually keep up with the competition (even with full on modifications) please let me know!
Constantly searching used cars to find above... (pending brick wall) HELP!!
Please.Please. Tell me someone, how to play this game, I have waited 2yrs for what ???. This would be the biggest farcical disappointment I have ever purchased. Sony has a lot to answer for - how on earth can we ever earn enough money to puchase further cars in the game ie:- Formula One. I have in stock many cars worth millions in my garage that I cannot sell or trade to earn enough to advance any further in the game. Also try driving a car into a brick wall at high speed and come out damage free - rediculous - as this is supposed to be a Real Driving Simulator.
well in other words driving means driving, not crashing, correct me if I'm wrong :)
And for BluGardian guy who always love to bable about how bad physics are, you should read an review made by CAR JOURNALISTS which clearly said that physics are pretty much correct in Gran Turismo 5, and even J.Kankkunen (a world rally champion) tested GT5 out and said it is very accurate tho cornering in gravel should be more "aggressive" so thing is, do I believe a guy with nasty nickname or an real champion in rally about game physics.... errr. (same thing with real life car journalists)
What do you mean a guy with a nasty nickname? I take it your one of the guys who think gt5 is a 5 star game and has a go at anyone who has a differing opinion. Somehow i can see kankkunen having a go on it at a motorsport convention but i doubt he spends his time playing video games unless he's like seb loeb who is pocketing £100k for his special challenge insertion. I think i'll value the opinion of dozens of gaming experts over a great rally driver who played a video game for half an hour.
Go dip into your overdraft and hire a lotus elise and you'll see it's not like driving on black ice. I criticised a computer game get a grip!!!!!!
OMG !!! Lost money! I had PS2 with GT4 and it was fast, logical, handy. Just perfect in it's time.
Now after waiting so many years, I had in my room new PS3 with GT5. I'm sitting and waiting and waiting and waiting. PS3 is big, slow, horrible 230 Watts consuming machine and GT5 lost logic and all what I loved on GT4. Reactions of the system are too slow, replay is not fluid like 15fps, physics is not the physics!!! Everything is complicated, boring, confusing. Cars are not doing what I want. I think, that nobody from GT5 team sat in real car. And sounds??? The best JOKE!!! All cars sounds like mixer. Again, nobody from GT5 team probably never sat in real car. I really don't understand for what we all were waiting. I'm going to sell my new PS3 and GT5 to some child. I'm 37 and I wanted some handy and real game.
I agree, that 200 or 300 cars should be enough. The same for the race. 16 opponents, why?
Why on GT4 with PS2 standard controller I was able to brake and steer and accelerate fluidly using press sensitive buttons on the controller and on new game it is impossible??? Why? Why? Why? Please put on the label warning: "Playing is possible only with official steering wheel" or something like that.
I will wait for the new FORZA 4 and will see if the competitive console with competitive game will make me happier.
GT5 and PS3 only made me upset, for loosing money
Oh dear oh dear, what??? Better graphics on some cars and I have to be happy with the rest?
No no, if I will take a picture of a piece of ***** with my profi camera with pro lenses, it still will be only piece of ***** with hi-resolution.
After trawling through so many different forum threads I thought id pipe in and give my Impression.
I wouldn't call my self biased, I have both PS3 and Xbox. Only because I'm inpatient and didn't want to wait for the Fanatec GT2 to come back in stock. So I got myself a PS3 and bought the cheap Fanatec Carrera bundle to use with GT5 and TDU 2 when it eventually comes out.
Anyway back to GT5...
First impressions where a little disappointing due to the fact that I cant have a cockpit view in the cars I want. Well that's not all bad news, there's 1000 cars to play with and 200 of them I can have the view I want.
Secondly the menu layout is.. Well how can I put this... TERRIBLE!!
Loading times are stupid but to be fair this doesn't bother me i don't mind waiting a little.
I'm going to stop here before I carry on writing a essay on the bad points of GT5 but I'm Going say this...
GT5 at points can be brilliant... But at others its just c.r.a.p
Forza 3 > GT5 (hate to say it, always loved the GT series)
Just a Shame my Wheel is only PC/PS3 :(
