Low-T Testosterone Heart Risk Lawsuit
Were you looking for Testosterone Gel or Testosterone Supplements Linked to Increased Risk for Heart Attack lawsuits?
Men who take testosterone drugs are at increased risk of testosterone stroke and testosterone heart attack , according to recent studies. One testosterone drug, Androgel, warns on its label a number of testosterone side effects including high blood pressure, blood clots in the legs, and "serious problems"for people who have heart, kidney or liver disease. Other low-t treatment brand names include Androderm, Axirom, Bio-T-Gel, Delatestryl, Depo-Testosterone, Fortesta, Striant, Testim and Testope. Men who have suffered such side effects are filing testosterone lawsuits.

The following studies have linked testosterone to testosterone heart risks.
Low-T Testosterone Therapy Risks
October 2014: Men who have low testosterone and Type 2 diabetes face a greater risk of developing atherosclerosis – a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries – than men who have diabetes and normal testosterone levels, according to the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. Authors of the study, titled "Low Testosterone Concentration and Atherosclerotic Disease Markers in Male Patients with Type 2 Diabetes," recommend that testosterone treatment should be reserved for men with clinical symptoms of hypogonadism and consistently low levels of testosterone. The Society also has called for large-scale, well-controlled trials to assess the long-term cardiovascular risks associated with testosterone therapy.
January 2014: A study titled Testosterone Therapy and Myocardial Infarction (January 2014) published by the Public Library of Science in conjunction with the University of Florida and the National Cancer Institute shows an association between testosterone therapy (TT) and cardiovascular disease. The researchers also noted that testosterone therapy is increasing despite the fact that in older men, and in younger men with pre-existing diagnosed heart disease, the risk of myocardial infarction shortly after they begin testosterone therapy is substantially increased.
The PLOS ONE study reported that increased risk of heart attack among young men with prior heart disease is a "particular public health concern, as about 10 percent of the men in our study under age 65 years with a [testosterone therapy] prescription had a history of heart disease."
November 2013: The Journal of the American Medical Association also associated cardiovascular risk with testosterone therapy. Researchers said the study warranted cautious testosterone prescribing and additional investigation. (See JAMA video)
While a number of studies have shown that treating low testosterone can improve men's sexual function, bone density, strength and lean muscle mass and at the same time lower cholesterol and insulin resistance, the recent JAMA study indicates that the risks outweigh the benefits. Researchers reported that men who used testosterone were 30 percent more likely to have a heart attack or stroke or to die during a three-year period than men with low hormone levels who didn't take the supplements. The study' 3,000 participants averaged 60 years of age and most of the men (hormone users and non-users) had other health problems including high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol and diabetes.
Testosterone Heart Attack Studies
Further, participants who began the study with clear, unobstructed coronary arteries were just as likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or die as men who entered the study with established coronary artery disease.
Researchers in 2009 discontinued a trial of about 200 frail older men with a high prevalence of heart disease due to a high rate of heart attacks among those taking testosterone. The trial was funded by the National Institutes of Health. According to The Wall Street Journal (Nov 5, 2013) another study sponsored by the Institute is studying the effects of testosterone on walking ability, fatigue, sexual function, verbal memory, hemoglobin and plaque buildup of nearly 800 men aged 65 and older with low testosterone. The results won't be available for at least a year.
Interestingly, studies funded by pharmaceutical companies have concluded there is no increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events associated with testosterone drugs such as AndroGel.
AndroGel 1% and AndroGel 1.62% are both prescription products used for daily testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). They are manufactured by AbbVie (formerly part of Abbott Labs). The gel is applied to the skin of the shoulders and upper arms.
Androgel Testosterone Black Box Warning
Secondary exposure to testosterone in children and women can occur with the use of testosterone gel in men. Cases of secondary exposure to testosterone have been reported in children. Consequently the FDA placed a black box warning about the risks of AndroGel 1% to children and women in September 2009.
In June, 2014, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered the consolidation of all federal litigation over testosterone replacement therapies in the Northern District of Illinois.
Testosterone Lawsuits
Five Androgel lawsuits were filed on February 4, 2014 in Illinois federal court against the manufacturers AbbVie Inc., and Abbott Laboratories, Inc., claiming the manufacturers concealed facts about the serious side effects associated with the drug.
Androgel Lawsuit
The first of what is expected to be many testosterone therapy treatment lawsuits. (1:14-cv-772), was filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division by plaintiff Kenneth Aurecchia, who claims he suffered a heart attack due to the drug. He also alleges other physical and emotional damage after taking Androgel for what he believed were symptoms of low testosterone after watching commercials for the product.
A testosterone lawsuit filed September 2014 in federal court in Newark claims Eli Lilly, the maker of Axiron, put users at risk by aggressively marketing its testosterone replacement drug while failing to adequately warn about the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Axiron Lawsuit
Plaintiff Patrick Miller, age 56, started taking Axiron in September of 2012 and suffered a heart attack about one month later. The Axiron lawsuit says that Miller's doctor would not have prescribed Axiron if he had been warned of the increased risks of heart problems caused by using the drug.
The lawsuit further alleges that Lilly markets Axiron to men by describing "symptoms" of "Low T," such as decreased sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, fatigue and loss of energy, that are caused by a "non-existent and unrecognized medical condition called Low T," Rather, those symptoms naturally occur as a result of the aging process.
Miller's lawsuit accuses Lilly of failure to warn, defective design, defective manufacturing, negligence, breach of implied warranty, breach of express warranty, fraud and negligent misrepresentation. The Axiron testosterone lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, and more.
More than 5 million prescriptions for testosterone therapy were written in the US in 2011—with sales of almost $2 billion. Treatment can be delivered as a gel (such as Androgel), cream, patch or pill, injection or implant. Along with Androgel, the following brand names designed to treat low-t also qualify for a potential class action lawsuit:
Other Testosterone Treatments
Anadrol-50: Generic name oxymetholone is an anabolic steroid, which is a man-made form of a hormone similar to testosterone. It is used to treat certain types of anemia by increasing red blood cells and used off-label as a muscle builder. It is also marketed as "helpful in reducing fatigue". It is ingested in pill form.

Delatestryl: (Testosterone Enanthate, brand names Delatestryl, Tesamone) A testosterone injection treatment or intramuscular agent made by Savient Pharmaceuticals. Approved in 2003, it is injected into the buttock muscle usually every 1 to 4 weeks.

Depo-Testosterone: (testosterone cypionate) is an intramuscular agent for low testosterone (low-t) introduced by Pfizer in 2003, and available in two strengths, 100 mg/mL and 200 mg/mL testosterone cypionate. On its website Pfizer states that Depo-Testosterone has been "used for more than 30 years in the treatment of males with low testosterone". Sun Pharmaceutical Industries received approval from the FDA in June 2103 for its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for generic version of depo-testosterone injection, testosterone cypionate injection USP, 100 mg/ml and 200mg/ml.
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone produced by the body' adrenal glands. DHEA is banned by the NCAA. Taken in tablet form, it is marketed to increase sexual function and build body mass.
First-Testosterone:(testosterone topical) is sold in cream form and First-Testosterone MC is sold as a gel, which is absorbed by the skin.
Fortesta: A testosterone spray gel that is applied to front and inner thighs daily. Fortesta is made by Endo Pharmaceuticals and approved in December 2010 as a Class III product for topical use for men with low testosterone. Endo warns that "afety and efficacy of Fortesta Gel in males less than 18 years old have not been established."Endo also warns that its product "can transfer from your body to others Women and children should avoid contact with the unwashed or unclothed areas where Fortesta Gel has been applied."
Methitest:(Methyltestosterone) is an androgen. The 10mg tablet is taken orally, from 1-4 times per day. It is packaged by Global Pharmaceuticals, Division of Impax Laboratories Inc.
Striant: (generic: testosterone buccal system), is a tablet containing 30 mg of testosterone that slowly releases testosterone into the mucous membranes of the mouth. Made by Columbia Laboratories Inc. and approved by the FDA in Jun 2003, it was purchased by Auxilium Pharmaceuticals in April 2011.
Teslac:: (generic name Testolactone) blocks the production of the hormone estrogen and is used to treat some types of breast cancer. It is no longer available in the US.
Testim: A widely used gel treatment for testosterone replacement that is applied to the shoulders daily. It was approved in October 2002 and made by Auxilium.
Testopel: Made by Slate Pharamceuticals, a testosterone implant containing approximately 75mg of testosterone is placed under the skin, releasing the hormone over a period of 3 to 6 months after insertion. Testopel was developed in the early 1970s but not approved by the FDA until 2008.
Testopel Pellets: About the width of a dime, pellets are implanted subcutaneously under the skin in an approximately 15-minute procedure. Pellets typically last for 3 to 4 months and up to 6 months per dose.
Testred Methyltestosterone: capsules, along with prescribed as testosterone therapy, is also be used in certain adolescent boys to trigger puberty in those with delayed puberty.
Canadian Brand Names:
Andriol: comes in a soft gelatin capsule marked "ORG DV3" and contains 40 mg of testosterone undecanoate.
Androplex:, the same brand name as Androderm in the US, is a testosterone transdermal patch.
Manufacturers of the above testosterone treatments have been accused of placing profits before the safety and health of consumers by:
Attorneys are seeing an increase in claims from men using low-T treatments or testosterone therapy. This increase is mainly due to aggressive direct-to-consumer advertising by the manufacturers of testosterone supplements and drugs. Doctors are prescribing testosterone treatment off-label to help men fight their natural decline in testosterone as they age and allegedly build muscle mass, strengthen bone density and improve sex drive. Off-label marketing of testosterone supplements and drugs is illegal.
Testosterone Off-Label Marketing Lawsuit
Testosterone manufacturers such as AbbVie aggressively market its testosterone drug by telling men the following: "If you're bored, stressed or aging normally, you probably have Low T symptoms: grumpiness, less energy, lower libido and "falling asleep after dinner." These "symptoms"are also associated with the natural process of aging.
In 2000 the FDA told AbbVie that "claims and representation that suggest that AndroGel is indicated for men with 'age-associated' hypogonadism or 'andropause' are misleading."The agency said that AndroGel was only approved for men with hypogonadism—a condition in which the body doesn't produce enough testosterone.
In 2003 a lawsuit was filed against Solvay Pharmaceuticals Inc. (which was later bought by Abbott Laboratories) alleging False Claims Act violations, The whistleblower suit ( King et al. v. Solvay SA et al., case number 4:06-cv-02662, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas) claims that off-label promotion resulted in millions of dollars worth of false claims submitted to government health care plans by pharmacies who filled the prescriptions of the drugs.
Further, in order to boost sales, Solvay allegedly conspired with doctors to prescribe off-label uses of the drugs and paid unlawful kickbacks to doctors who prescribed the drugs in the form of "bogus speaker and research fees, resort weekends, cash payments, or Harley-Davidson goods".
The lawsuit includes a leaked document by Solvay discussing the need to expand the testosterone market by 36.5 percent, according to a McClatchy Newspapers article. According to the article, Solvay talked about pushing the drug to primary care physicians, described as "easily influenced."A 2004 memo on AndroGel sales strategies said the sales force was putting extra emphasis on rural areas, since "rural doctors are typically very accessible, give us plenty of time to teach them the right way to diagnose and treat, and they have the patients."
A further document that was disclosed in a lawsuit against Solvay, then the maker of Androgel, discussed a need to expand the testosterone market by 36.5 percent, according to a McClatchy Newspapers article.
AbbVie, Inc., in response to the study, said that testosterone treatments are approved by the FDA, and the risks are listed. As noted above, the FDA has only approved testosterone drugs to men who have been diagnosed with low testosterone levels.
According to Abbott, AndroGel annual US sales are more than $600 million.
Testosterone therapy studies raise concerns about testosterone supplements that men should discuss with their doctors. Health professionals advise that patients should not discontinue testosterone treatment without first consulting their physician.

I took something called Androderm for about 4-5 months for Low-T, which was odd because I'm only 25. Stopped taking it in November 2013 due to cost. Shortly after, I was in and out of the hospital for chest and side pain with no diagnosis. Saw a cardiologist in July to find out I've had an extremely high heart rate all the time, after testing. Doctors have no idea why. Could this be the main purpose of this?

My name is Dan. Im a 38yr old man, who has been getting low testosterone therapy for the last year. Prior to the start of my therapy, I have had a history of knee replacement surgery, herniateddisk In the neck surgery. I have been on pain medication for these issues for at least 10yrs now. At age 18, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and have been on meds to control this problem. At age 36, I had what was once was called a widow maker heart. I had a 98percent blocked lad artery. It took a stint in my artery to fix this problem. While all this was before the start of my testosterone therapy, my doctors were taking wonderful care of me. But my testosterone and energy levels and sexual ability was going down hill fast. It was only after I began my testosterone therapy that the began regaining myself back. Now I am currently on Pfizer depo-testosterone injections, I am under the care of my cardiologists and my primary care physician, and I have had no adverse reactions to my testosterone therapy. I have as many health concerns as anyone, but I really would suggest testosterone therapy to any man who's in real need of help. For me the pro's outweigh the con's. Thank you for your time! God bless!

All testosterone replacement raise red blood cell count which can lead to cardiac and stroke issues
It's THE DOCTOR's job who prescribed it to monitor RBC, and when it gets high, they, ween patients off it. When RBC count is normal. You go back on
This is a bogus lawsuit. Probably from people who have crappy DRs who put them on and never check.
The prescribing DOCTOR should be sued. Not the drug company
I've been on testim, androgel. Now injections (far cheaper). Every 3 months my dr gives me a blood work up, every year he makes me get a cardiac stress test. All because I'm on testosterone.
Also NORMAL, REPLACEMENT therapy of 200mg/DL has virtually NO risk
Once a man is put on high doeses to lose weight or build muscle is when it gets dangerous , and that's against the drug's recommendations

After taking it for several months I was hospitalized with six (6) blood clots in my legs.

Between the two of us, we've had quite a few animals throughout our lives. Hamsters, gerbils, mice, fish, snakes, birds, frogs, ducks, dogs and cats. There were even a couple of cows thrown in for good measure. We know what pet gear you need…and what you don't. Here are our favorite (and least favorite) pet gear products.
What You Need:
Pet odor eliminator. Our cat, Ulysses, likes to "mark his territory," so we've been through the full gamut of cleaning solutions. Simple Green, Bleach, 409…even shop vacs. You really, REALLY need a specially-formulated enzyme formula to get the smell out completely. Otherwise, pets will be drawn to mark in the same spot over and over and over again.
Pet hair roller. "I didn't realize the 'shag' sweater look was back…oh wait. Ewww." To avoid making an unintentionally bizarre fashion statement, stash a pet hair roller in your closet and in the car.
Play balls. For our cats, we use ping pong balls. Most dogs like to chase after something about the size of a tennis ball. This will provide hours of entertainment and exercise for your active pet.
Brushes. Use a brush to pull off the extra fur before you discover it all in a pile on your favorite chair.
Tags. Make it easy for neighbors to return your animal
if when it goes missing. They like to wander and it's almost inevitable that your pet will go exploring out of your home territory at some point.
What You Don't:
Expensive shampoos. We just use Pert or any shampoo with a conditioner. Some people claim that shampoo dries out dog skin, but we haven't had that problem as long as we've used products that contain a conditioner along with the shampoo.
Pet crate. If you're traveling by air or have a very skittish animal this can be helpful. With all our pets, however, we simply sit them on the floor of the car or put them in a vented cardboard box for trips to and from the vet.
Fancy feeding systems. Those automated feed dispensers just don't cut it, and you don't really even need special dishes. A heavy bowl that won't tip over will suffice. If you have a particularly tall animal, set the feeding dishes up on a bench so your pet doesn't have to bend over and strain its neck.
A ginormous climbing apparatus. Chances are, you already own your cat's favorite piece of gymnastics equipment. We call ours "the couch."

Biotechnology is a fast growing and promising field of study that progresses ahead through research and development. It is the field that introduced cloning technology to the world and also introduced scientific methods for genetic engineering and new modes of vegetative propagation and many more revolutionary biotechnologies. The biotechnology profession offers outstanding prospects and opportunity, predominantly in the areas of medicine, agriculture and related areas.
Biotechnology is a combination of Biology and other engineering Technologies. It covers a wide variety of subjects like Genetics, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Immunology, Virology, Chemistry and Engineering and is also concerned with many other subjects like Health and Medicine, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Cropping system and Crop Management, Ecology, Cell Biology, Soil science and Soil Conservation, Bio-statistics, Plant Physiology, Seed Technology etc. Biotechnology is the use of living things, especially cells and bacteria in industrial process. There is great career opportunity in Biotechnology as the demand for biotechnologists is growing in the global scenario including India.
There are many applications of Biotechnology, such as developing various medicines, vaccines and diagnostics, increasing productivity, improving energy production and conservation. The options in Biotechnology are many and so are the career opportunities. Biotechnology's intervention in the area of animal husbandry has improved animal breeding. Biotechnology also helps to improve the quality of seeds, insecticides and fertilizers. Environmental biotechnology helps in pollution control and waste management.
Eligibility to study Biotechnology in colleges in India
The student wishing to study Biotechnology must have a background in Sciences at the intermediate level in school, and must have studied physics, chemistry, biology, or even agriculture, to enroll in a B.Tech course. To enroll in a B.Sc. course, the student has to have a background in physics, chemistry and mathematics. Graduates in any of the sciences, engineering technology and medicine, may apply for the post graduate course in Biotechnology.
Courses that can be studied under Biotechnology:-
To study Biotechnology, after a student passes out from school, there are several choices. The student can go for the under graduate courses in Bachelor of Sciences, Bachelor of Engineering, or a course in Bachelor of Technology. After that, the student can enroll in the course of post graduation in Master of Sciences, or Master of Technology. Also, even if the student who wishes to study Biotechnology has graduated with bachelors in Science in another subject, like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Microbiology, he, or she, can still go for a research in Biotechnology. Phd's are also available in Biotechnology, and so is post doctoral research in the subject.
There are mainly two branches that are taught in every biotechnology course. One is Core biotechnology where students can know everything about the genetic engineering and microbiology subjects. The other part of Biotechnology is Bio informatics. This is based on computers. So, students can solve problems using computers. The applications can be constructed faster with the use of a computer by the biotechnology professionals.
There are various types of biotechnology courses taught in India at different colleges and universities. Currently, more than 25 universities offer the biotechnology courses. Some of the universities offer B.Sc in Biotechnology and some of the universities offer B.Tech in Biotechnology courses.
Scope For Biotechnology in India
The study in biotechnology, in India, is developed under the headers of Bio informatics, Plant Biology, Marine Biotechnology, National Bio resource Development, Agricultural Biotechnology and Bio fertilizers. A course in Biotechnology offers the students brilliant career opportunities in the fields of medicine and agriculture.
Some of the reputed job descriptions that might be well suited after a course in Biotechnology are as a research scientist, or as a research associate, as a teacher, since the demand for faculty of biotechnology has also risen due to the rise in the course's popularity, as a marketing manager, as a science writer, or a bioinformatics, since the new information that is unraveled by the study in biotechnology needs to be brought out to the world, as a quality control officer, or even an environment specialist, or safety specialist.
There are some universities in India who have launched 5-years integrated B.tech and M.tech in Biotechnology. Here are the names of some leading universities that offer Biotechnology courses:-
- All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.
- GGS Indraprastha University, Delhi.
- Indian Institute Of Technology, New Delhi -110016.
- Indian Institute Of Technology, Madras .
- Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, West Bengal.

Connie is looking forward to starting work on her graduate thesis over the summer, when her mother asks her to sell an abandoned house once owned by her grandmother in Salem, Mass. Relunctantly, Connie moves to the small town and inhabits the crumbling, ancient house, trying to restore it to a semblance of order.Curious things start to happen when Connie finds the name "Deliverance Dane" on a yellowed scrap of paper inside an old Bible, and begins to have visions of a long ago woman condemned for practicing "physick," or herbal healing, on her neighbors in 1690s Salem.Interspersed with modern-day sections are chapters on the actual witch trials, revealing the fascinating story of Deliverance Dane and how she got caught up in the tragic events. Connie meets an intriguing young steeplejack named Sam, who's also interested in the history of the area. But just as Connie starts to unravel some of the mysteries surrounding Deliverance's identity, Sam has a horrifying accident, and Connie has to figure out a way to save him that involves an ancient and mystical cure. And to do that, she needs to locate the actual "physick book" once owned by Deliverance Dane herself.Immediately compelling, with powerful historic insight and detail, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane is that rare find - a literary first novel with a very commercial premise and pacing.More
A darkly quirky tale with enough twists and turns to make a tornado seem like a gentle rainfall, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane will keep you on the edge of your seat. The suspense is due partly, of course, to debut novelist Katherine Howe's frequent cliffhangers (who knew a story with frequent library scenes could be so compelling!), but it's also due to narrator Katherine Kellgren's expert inflections and pacing. A master of accents and tone, Kellgren's skills are put to good use in this tale that flashes back and forth between the academic world of Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1991 and the Puritanical one of Salem, Massachusetts 300 years earlier. You believe her equally as young Ph.D. candidate Connie Goodwin, embittered sextagenarian academic Manning Chilton, and the cold judges and hysterical accusers of the Salem Witch Trials.
Authors and historians (Howe is both) learned long ago that any account of the Salem Witch Trials offers a mesmerizing narrative. But Howe takes the conceit one step further. As Connie, read by Kellgren in a perfectly-cast sing-songy voice, begins considering her dissertation in American Colonial studies in earnest, she must move to her grandmother's thoroughly unmodern house for the summer. While there, a mysterious key and a piece of paper with the name Deliverance Dane drops out of a family Bible. In flashbacks to the 1690s, we learn of the real Deliverance Dane's life as a town healer and, ultimately, her conviction of practicing witchcraft. Meanwhile, back in the 20th century, we follow Connie's exhaustive search for Deliverance's elusive journal of recipes, of witchcraft, she doesn't know first for academic reasons then to save the life of her love interest. Along the way, as Kellgren's narration gets faster, louder, raspier, and stronger, we, like Connie, discover that perhaps there really were some magical women in Salem then, and now. Kelly Marages
"In all, a keen and magical historical mystery laced with romance and sly digs at society's persistent underestimation of women." (Booklist)

Details about the Second Annual Young Translators' Prize (brought to you by Harvill Secker and Foyles) are now available online:
The Harvill Secker Young Translators' Prize was launched in 2010 as part of Harvill Secker's centenary celebrations. It is an annual prize, which focuses on a different language each year, with the aim of recognising the achievements of young translators at the start of their careers. For the 2011 prize Harvill Secker has teamed up with Foyles, and the prize is kindly supported by Banipal. This year's chosen language is Arabic, and the prize will centre on the short story 'Layl Qouti' by Mansoura Ez Eldin.
Egyptian novelist and journalist Mansoura Ez Eldin was born in Delta Egypt in 1976. She studied journalism at the Faculty of Media, Cairo University and has since published short stories in various newspapers and magazines: she published her first collection of short stories, Shaken Light, in 2001. This was followed by two novels, Maryam's Maze in 2004 and Beyond Paradise in 2009. Her work has been translated into a number of languages, including an English translation of Maryam's Maze by the American University in Cairo (AUC) Press. In 2010, she was selected for the Beirut39, as one of the 39 best Arab authors below the age of 40. Her second novel Wara'a al-Fardoos (Beyond Paradise) was shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction (the Arabic Booker) 2010. She was also a participant of the inaugural nadwa (writers' workshop) held by the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in Abu Dhabi in 2009 and was a mentor at the second nadwa in October 2010.
The winning translator will receive £1,000, a selection of Harvill Secker titles and Foyles tokens.
To enter, you have to be between the ages of 18 and 34 on July 29, 2011. (God damn it, I hate not being eligible for "young" prizes.)
Anyway, you can download the entry form here, and the Arabic text here.
Good luck!

Many medieval Muslim thinkers pursued humanistic, rational and scientific discourses in their search for knowledge, meaning and values. A wide range of Islamic writings on love poetry, history and philosophical theology show that medieval Islamic thought was open to the humanistic ideas of individualism, occasional secularism, skepticism and liberalism.
Religious freedom, though limited, helped create cross-cultural networks by attracting Muslim, Christian and Jewish intellectuals and thereby helped spawn the greatest period of philosophical creativity in the Middle Ages from the 8th to 13th centuries.[5]

1. Uninstall Desktop Applications from the Control Panel
This is the method known by most people. It works great for all desktop applications but it cannot be used for modern Windows 8.1 apps that are distributed through the Windows Store.
First go to "Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features".
Then, select the application you want to remove, click or tap Uninstall and follow the wizard.
2. Uninstall Programs Using their Uninstall Shortcuts
Most desktop applications, when installed, create at least an Uninstall shortcut. This is generally found in the application's folder in the Start Menu (in Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc) or in the Apps view, that's accessible from theStart screen (in Windows 8.1).
Uninstall shortcuts are sometimes also placed on the Desktop. Double-click on them to start the uninstall procedure.
3. Uninstall Programs Using their Uninstall.exe
Many programs (especially those which create Uninstall shortcuts) have an executable file named uninstall.exe or something along these lines. This file is always found in the installation folder of that application.
Run it and follow the steps required to uninstall the program.
4. Uninstall Programs Using Their Setup MSI File
Some programs (like the 64-bit version of 7-Zip) do not use a setup.exe file for their installation. Instead their setup file has the extension ".msi". This format is used by the Windows Installer, a special installation format created by Microsoft for its Windows operating systems.
The desktop applications that use an ".msi" installer are very easy to uninstall. You right click on their setup file and click Uninstall.
The removal can also be triggered from the command line. Open the Command Prompt as administrator and type"msiexec /x " followed by the name of the ".msi" file used by the program you want to remove.
You can also add other command line parameters to control the way the uninstall is done. For more information, check this article from Microsoft: Msiexec (command-line options).
5. Uninstall Windows 8.1 Apps and Desktop Programs from the Start Screen
All the methods covered so far apply only to traditional desktop applications. But what about Windows 8.1 apps? How do you remove those?
One way is to right click or press and hold on their tile, to bring up the contextual menu on the bottom. Then, pressUninstall. The app is then removed in a few seconds without other prompts and confirmations. If an app no longer has a tile on the Start screen, simply search for it, right click or press and hold on the appropriate search result and then press Uninstall.
On classic PCs without a touchscreen, Windows 8.1 displays a traditional right-click menu when you right click the tile of a modern app. As expected, this menu includes the Uninstall option.
You can do the same with desktop applications. However, you are taken to the Programs and Features window inControl Panel, from which you can start the uninstall.
6. Remove Windows Store Apps from PC Settings
In Windows 8.1, you can also use PC Settings to remove modern apps from the Windows Store. Open PC Settings and go to Search and apps and then to App sizes.
On the right, you will see a list with all the apps that are installed on your device. Select the one you want to remove and the Uninstall button is displayed.
Click or tap Uninstall and then again on Uninstall to confirm that you want to remove the app.
7. Use a Specialized Software Uninstaller
There are programs that can be used to cleanup other programs. Some even remove leftovers from the uninstall process, both files and registry entries.

I was a litte concerned when speaking with several merchants that they had been asked to work with WhenU?
Why would they ask merchants that?

this question has come up before. I'm going to bump up the original thread if I can find it.

WhenU brings brings traffic into the affiliate channel (ie commissionable to the merchant and hence CJ fees) that normally wouldn't be in the affiliate channel.

The overall goal of USFA's Incident Management Team (IMT) program is to develop state, regional, and tribal IMTs to function under the National Incident Management System (NIMS) during a large and/or complex incident or a major event. This course is designed for those who are assigned to function in a Type 3 IMT during a large/complex incident, typically extending into multiple operational periods. The Type 3 IMT can either support an existing ICS structure, or can assume command of an incident if requested to do so. The Type 3 IMT can ease the transition to a National IMT for large scale, long duration, or complex incidents. This course is 5 full days in length, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and presents a demanding environment during simulations to create an incident management environment similar in nature to a large scale incident.
There are no prerequisites to taking this course

Today is Wednesday, Dec. 18, the 352nd day of 2002. There are 13 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Dec. 18, 1865, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery, was declared in effect.

In 1940, Adolf Hitler signed a secret directive ordering preparations for a Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union.

In 1969, Britain's Parliament abolished the death penalty for murder.
In 1971, the Rev. Jesse Jackson announced in Chicago the founding of Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity).
In 1972, the United States began its heaviest bombing of North Vietnam at that time during the Vietnam War. (The bombardment ended 12 days later.)

ATLANTA -- Georgia politicians are scrambling to hold fundraisers this weekend to collect last-minute campaign cash before Monday's cutoff.
Legislators and statewide elected officials have scheduled cocktail receptions, dinners, lunches and even breakfasts with donors in their districts and in Atlanta. And lobbyists complain that they have trouble shuttling between them all.
Politicians like to fatten their war chests in election years as a way to discourage challengers when the candidate qualifying period opens shortly in the spring.
The reason for the rush is state law prohibits collecting campaign contributions while the General Assembly is in session. Monday, at 10 a.m., the cash flow stops until whenever the legislature gets around to adjourning.
"It just goes to underscore the importance of lobbyist funding in the process," said William Perry, executive director of Common Cause of Georgia, an organization that advocates for limits on campaign contributions.
Getting a check to politicians right before they begin considering legislation is no coincidence, according to Helen Butler, executive director of another advocacy group like Common Cause that supports government funding of campaigns, the Coalition for the People's Agenda.
"It definitely impacts how they behave because they are now obligated to whoever makes the contributions," she said.
But other campaign-ethics experts hold a different view.
"I do not believe last-minute donors receive undue attention, and I have not really seen any donor attempt to time their donations so as to be 'last in.' That tells me the donors don't see an advantage to that either," said Stefan Passatino, a lawyer with McKenna Long & Aldridge who has represented several high-profile officials.
A former executive secretary of the State Ethics Commission, Rick Thompson, also doesn't think political contributions sway politicians, even last-minute ones.
"The politicians generally don't remember who was at which fundraiser," said Thompson, who is now a consultant with R.Thompson & Associates. "I think it's ridiculous to say that if I'm giving a contribution, I'm somehow getting more access."

Luis Suarez bites opponent on neck
Perhaps you are wondering if the title means Ajax striker Luis Suarez will be starring in the next Hollywood vampire flick, but no. He openly bit an opponent during a match between his club Ajax and PSV in the Dutch league.
You can see the incident clearly in the video, where after a heated exchange between their teammates, in which an Ajax player was shown the red card, Suarez leans in and takes a quick bite into midfielder Otman Bakkal's shoulder. The latter was just surprised as everyone else from the incident, but does not get too worked up. He shows the referee the bite marks, but apparently the ref did not have time to deal with this incident. Or maybe he did not know how to – is biting a red card offense in football? Or even a foul? In any case, it's weird.
The commentaries compare the incident to the famous Tyson-Holyfield boxing example, but in fact, this is not the first time a footballer has bitten an opponent. English striker Jermain Defoe did the same to Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano back in 2006. One can't imagine why this is the way some of these players chose to let their frustrations be shown, but I suppose it's better than punching or elbowing someone in the face.
The incident in the Dutch game was pretty much the highlight of the match, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

he is never a hero, we Ghanaians believe you cannot fuck with us and go Scot free, he deny us from getting into the semi-finals of the world cup.
he need to apologize to all Ghanaians if he doubts it, he should ask Ballotelli who refuse to play for ghana and his football life has never been the same, problems all the time, Coach MILLO the ghanaian coach at the just ended world cup left the country after signing contract with us. he is now the useless coach in Saudi Arabia, he recently wanted to come back to ghana but hey he has mess up his chances alrealdy. these are only few examples. SUAREZ IS NEVER A HERO.

WINONA, Miss. (AP) – The Montgomery County coroner says a wildfire last month did not kill the man whose field fire went out of control.
Coroner Allan Pratt tells WCBI-TV an autopsy shows that 63-year-old Joseph Henson died of natural causes, possibly a heart attack.
The Mississippi Forestry Commission has said Henson was burning off a field Oct. 27, and the flames quickly went out of control.

Our missional identity centers around our understanding of biblical hospitality. Biblical hospitality reminds us that as we attempt to care for others we ought to reflect on our own need for care and nurture.
God commands the faithful to help the strangers, the orphan and the widow, by calling on us to remember that we too were once strangers. Jesus reiterates God's command that we should "love God with all our hearts and love our neighbors as we love ourselves."
As a church community, we have been on a journey to discover a more profound understanding of hospitality. It's not enough to offer a smile and a handshake at the door, although that is important. Biblical hospitality requires us to search ourselves for our deepest needs and use that as a source for helping others.
Our journey has led us to regularly engage four spiritual practices.
What does it mean to be a neighbor? Like the story of the Good Samaritan, being a neighbor means taking time to notice the suffering around us and where the world is in need of mercy. It means that we take care that our interactions with God's world exhibit mutual respect and dignity. Our mission work is reciprocal; We give because we receive and we help because we are helped.
The stranger can be anyone who is in a vulnerable situation or who does not represent the prevailing culture. We take time to notice who is experiencing alienation or those who may be hurt by the systems of power in our world.
When we discover vulnerable people, we stand with them. Their concerns become our concerns. We may literally invite them to join us so they can bring their concerns directly to the gathered community or we may figuratively invite them by praying for them and offering the kind of assistance that can only come when two or more are gathered in God's name.
True hospitality is born from the recognition that we ourselves are in need of care and nurture. Nothing reminds us of that more than when we intentionally place ourselves in situations in which we are not part of the prevailing culture. This could be a literal exercise in figuring out where in the world we can go where we do not resemble the dominate culture. It could also be a metaphorical exercise in identifying how God is calling us out of our comfort zones. Experiencing this kind of displacement rekindles in us the truth that we are all connected and we are all dependent on one another and God for our safety and nourishment.
Our missional identity centers around our understanding of biblical hospitality. Biblical hospitality reminds us that as we attempt to care for others we ought to reflect on our own need for care and nurture.

Yes, indeed - William Shakespeare, the presiding genius of Douglas
Richardson's family, had blessedly no formal training in dramaturgy or
English prosody. As an historian he also rubbed along with "small Latin and
less Greek". We don't know of his skills as a genealogist, of course: I
imagine him even now, in the afterlife, beavering away to find a link to the
Richardsons of Salt Lake City, one of whose offspring is currently in
training for a post to SGM later this week.

A San Antonio police officer accused of holding his wife and children at gunpoint will keep his law enforcement license, as part of a plea deal he received in court last month.
Officer Daniel Lopez, 44, has been on paid administrative leave since his July 2013 arrest.
Bexar County First Assistant District Attorney Woodrow Halstead said Tuesday the office reduced the charges against Lopez after his family members changed their stories about the incident.
"We were left with what was really our only option of pleading to the reduced offense for disorderly conduct," Halstead said.
Lopez was originally charged with first degree felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of deadly conduct, after he was taken into custody following a dispute inside his home July 4, 2013.
Police at the time said Lopez had struck his wife in the head with a gun, then pointed it at two children inside the home. Lopez eventually surrendered without incident after what was described as a 20-minute standoff with police.
Lopez had already been stripped of his service weapon and placed on administrative duty following a June 2013 incident in which that case, police say he fired a gun at his home.
"There are deeper issues here than someone going off like that," then-Police Chief William McManus said at the time of Lopez's arrest.
Lopez was given one day of probation and a $100 fine after pleading "no contest" to a Class C misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct, according to his plea deal.
The deal struck out any reference to a gun or family violence, meaning Lopez instead pleaded no contest to "making an obscene gesture." This prevented the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement from suspending his law enforcement license.
Interim Chief Anthony Trevino has several more weeks to decide if Lopez will return to duty with the San Antonio Police Department.
"Based on the evidence I've seen in the offense reports, I would have definite concerns about him remaining on the police force," Halstead said.
