Last week, we reported that Niantic might be teaming up with Starbucks and announcing a new generation of Pokemon. It turns out that the partnership is actually with Sprint, making the cellular carrier the first US sponsor for Pokemon Go. As part of the deal, Sprint's 10,500 US locations will all be turned into Pokemon Gyms or PokeStops—and yes, we are getting a new generation of Pokemon!
Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure referred to the new Pokemon as "Gen 2." Niantic still has not provided any details, though CEO John Hanke mentioned that, "not all Pokemon are created equal," and added, "there are multiple families within the Pokemon universe." He also said that this is only the beginning.
More details are expected to be announced on December 12th. We will update you then!

5. Project close
Difference between Operations and Projects
all work and/or efforts performed within an organization are characterized as either operations or projects
Projects: unique, temporary endeavors with a specific beginning and end
Operations: an organization's on-going, repetitive activities
In any organization, only two aspects of work exist—on-going operations and projects
Projects are initiated by organizations for a variety of reasons
Project Scheduling
is the tool that communicates
what work needs to be performed
which resources of the organization will perform the work
the timeframes in which that work needs to be performed
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
hierarchal reflection of all the work in the project
decomposition of a project into smaller components
tree structure showing a subdivision of effort required to achieve an objective
Product Development Activity List
Task Dependencies in Project Management
relationships among tasks which determine the order in which activities need to be performed
Land must be purchased before road building can start
Road excavating must start before Asphalt can be laid
Laying Asphalt must be complete before line painting can be completed
Road excavating must start before line painting can be completed
Resource Allocation and Management
resources of an organization: people, materials, equipment, knowledge and time
resource allocation plan: important tool in effective management of scarce resources
timing of the need of those resources can be and should be determined within the project schedules
as the project schedule changes, the resource plan must also be flexible enough to adjust as these changes occur
known knowns, unknown knowns, unknown unknowns
Nuran HOSGIT
Nico SCHACK
Resource Planning
schedule that is as detailed as possible for the information known, and
the types of resources needed for each task
single task owner on each task
The work package 'project management' has been identified as a level of effort (LOE) activity
individual(s) which are assigned to that activity will perform different activities during the full time of the project
Level of effort is best used when individuals are 100% allocated to the project
Types of resource plans
One is hypothetical, based on resource type set without any resource constraints
A hypothetical schedule based only on the resource types needed produces a hypothetical resource plan
Resource type refers to the skill set that a task needs for finishing
The other is an actual resource plan, based on actual resource availability
Project Budget
a reflection of project work and the timing of that work
a comprehensive budget gives management an understanding of how money will be used over time for projects or operations
the better you identify all the work of the project within your schedule and the types of resources necessary to complete the work effectively, the more accurate your budget will be
Building the Planned Project Budget
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the basis for any budget
efforts used in producing the deliverable of each task can be defined in terms of cost (labor, materials, facilities, services, overhead)
early on in the project life cycle, planned costs may be developed
key role of the project manager: build consensus from the team and sponsor on each of the WBS task elements
A cost baseline is an approved time phased plan, it is the tool for measuring how project changes affect our schedule and budget.
Reasons for
changing the
When the organization itself is asking for a re-estimation of all projects for corporate budgeting purposes, the financial team may request the most up to date estimates on the project even if the scope has not changed
A change in
the scope
A 'significant' gap in one or more task estimates has been identified. Significant re-estimates must be communicated to project sponsors, and may warrant re-setting the baseline of the project. In this case, the original baseline should be retained as historical information.
Successful project managers effectively manage changes through the use
of change control boards (CCB)
Their purpose is to review and prioritize changes presented during the course
of the project
Categories of changes
1. Changes that are necessary in order to meet the objectives of the project.
2. Changes that were not part of the original scope, but are approved by the CCB along with the associated approved change in schedule and budget.
3. Changes that were not part of the original scope. The assessment of the CCB reported that these requests are not required in achieving the project objectives.
Accurate project cost capturing provides an organization with an invaluable amount of data for decision-making

RACHAEL Laws will play her last game for Sunderland Ladies tomorrow before heading off on international duty.
And coach Claire Robinson acknowledges Sunderland's loss is England's gain.
The Hebburn-born keeper received her first England call-up this week after having been put on standby for her country's previous match.
And that means that after facing London Bees in the capital tomorrow, she will miss the home match against Watford next weekend because of her inclusion in the England squad facing Montenegro on Wednesday, September 17.
Robinson said: "She will be a miss but I'm sure she will enjoy the experience.
"It's actually brilliant for us as a club because it's another player from the area getting into the international arena.
"It just underlines the quality that we have in the region and the way it can be developed through an effective youth system.
"It's a reward for a lot of people who have worked hard on her development.
"But most of all it's a reward for herself and she fully deserves it because she's talented dedicated."
Laws will hope she can sign-off this Sunday with a second consecutive clean sheet as top-of-the-table Sunderland look to take another step towards promotion.
Nearest challengers Doncaster Belles are five points behind the Black Cats but the games are now starting to run out with only half-a-dozen remaining.
Robinson reflected: "There might be a bit of nerves starting to creep in at this stage because with every game at the moment promotion seems to be a little nearer our grasp.
"But I think we just have to concentrate on ourselves and not be worrying about what anyone else is doing.
"It will come down to the mathematics at some stage and I think it could well go down to the wire.
"Don't forget, our last two home games are against Doncaster and Millwall.
"Those are obviously vital games but every game is a cup final at the moment as we come to the last few games and we have to bear that in mind this Sunday."

Boy I have SO much to tell you but I just don't have it in my tonight. This first week being home has been insane. Little guy and I have spent our days together, running errands, getting ready for kindergarten, doing crafts, it's been fabulous! I also ran (sort of) 3 times this week, cooked bunches, and went to my first OB appointment. How in the HECK did I do this all while working?!? I didn't even come close to accomplishing everything that I wanted to, but next week is a right around the corner. Do what I can when I can… right? :)
Anyway.. I have some updates on the training front that I need to tell you and also a fun new project I'm experimenting with in the next few weeks but all of that will have to wait for another post. Tonight I wanted to share the weekend quote and then go pass out. The whole first trimester exhaustion thing is hitting me hard! I'm tired and "the girls" are sore, REALLY sore. I'm sure you know what I mean. I think I'm going to have to buy more supportive running bras!
Ok.. enough babble… on to this quote! I stumbled across this one just surfing around but couldn't find an author anywhere. It's one of those fabulously simple thought provoking statements.
"To create more positive results in your life, replace "if only" with "next time"."
I love that it reminds us to look ahead instead of back. Own the decisions you've made and if you don't like the results from then then change your approach.

Valley 7th-grader awarded 'America's Top Youth Volunteer'
PHOENIX (KSAZ) - Thirteen-year-old Lauren Bayse is athletic, beautiful and a model student, but more than that, she's a problem solver. That's why she stumbled upon an empty storage space at school while putting golf clubs away.
She didn't see just a closet, Lauren saw potential.
"As I came in here more and I saw it... school needed," she said.
After Lauren submitted a written proposal, her idea was approved by the school and she got tow work.
"After seeing that our school... this is what we needed," she said.
It wasn't long before word spread about Lauren's project and several other students jumped at the chance to help.
"Putting the library together... we actually all wanted to do it," DeJanna said.
They worked mornings, lunch hours and free periods to transform the empty room into so much more.
"It's turned out so much better than I ever imagined it would be," Lauren said.
Lauren's mom says she couldn't be more proud, adding this really is the beginning of a new chapter.
"We basically teach our kids... so it's a learning process either way," she said.

Home of the "Happiest Place on Earth", Orlando is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the U.S. According to a new study, however, it isn't a popular spot for pedestrians. Of 30 metro cities located across the country, the city of Orlando ranked dead last in walkability.
The report, compiled by the George Washington University School of Business, argues that a city's health, productivity, and quality of life is affected by its walkability. City leaders in Orlando, which ranked 24th in the last report in 2007, say they are working to "create more walkable corridors" and are beginning to shift their focus away from the vehicular model to "more urban centers with mixed uses," according to a recent article in the Orlando Sentinel.
Despite finishing at the bottom of this year's rankings, there is hope for the Central Florida city. Though currently the city ranks 30th, the report expects Orlando to rise to 18th over the next four years as more walkable communities such as Winter Park and Lake Eola-Thornton Park spring up.
Topping this year's list of most walkable cities were Washington D.C., New York, Boston, San Francisco, and Seattle.

Effects of Volitional Preemptive Abdominal Contraction on Trunk and Lower Extremity Biomechanics and Neuromuscular Control During a Drop Vertical Jump
R. Haddas, T. Hooper, P. Sizer, R. James
Center for Rehabilitation Research, TTUHSC, Lubbock, Texas
Figure 2.
Figure 1.
Lower Extremity 30 cm Drop Vertical Jump% Change
No VPAC VPAC
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries continue to pose a significant concern relative to short- and long-term effects on quality of life and participation in physical activity1. Recognizing an increased risk for ACL injury and discovering interventions that may reduce that risk are important to patients, clinicians, and researchers. Altered neuromuscular control plays a prominent role in most ACL injury models. Previous research has focused primarily on examining the neuromuscular control of the lower extremity (LE)2. However, LE control also be additionally influenced by abdominal muscle activation3.Individuals can actively modify pelvic control parameters through volitional muscle recruitment during dynamic movements using volitional preemptive abdominal contractions (VPAC)4-5(Figure 1). The effects of abdominal muscle contraction may be transmitted to the LE via the pelvis, which provides a mechanical link between the trunk and the LE, thus influencing the entire lower quarter mechanical chain6. Although, VPAC has been shown to improve spine stability7, very little is known about the effects of VPAC on trunk and LE biomechanics and neuromuscular control in healthy individuals, with implications for ACL injury risk. Thepurpose of our study was to determine the effects of VPAC on trunk and LE biomechanics and neuromuscular control during a drop vertical jump (DVJ) landing sequence. We hypothesized that VPAC, would improve trunk and LE stabilization and neuromuscular control during the landing phase of the DVJ.
Abdominal bracing emphasizes a global contraction of all the abdominal muscles and lumbar extensors, where no movement should occur in the abdominal wall during the activation8.
Figure 3.
Statistically significant p < 0.05
Lower Extremity 50 cm Drop Vertical Jump% Change
At the 30 cm landing height, VPAC resulted in statistically significant (P ≤ 0.05) increases in: (1) knee internal rotation angle; (2) knee flexion range of motion; (3) knee internal abduction moment; (4) knee energy absorption; (5) medial hamstring post contact activity (Figure 2); (6) trunk left rotation; and (7) external oblique activity pre- and post-contact (Table 1).
At the 50 cm landing height, VPAC resulted in statistically significant (P≤0.05) decreases in: (1) ankle inversion angle; (2) hip energy absorption (Figure 3); and (3) external oblique muscle activity post-contact. These decreases were accompanied by significant increases in: (1) knee flexion angle at contact; (2) medial hamstring activity pre-contact; (3) hip flexion angle at contact; (4) trunk left rotation angle post-contact; (5) trunk left rotation angle at contact; and (6) greater external oblique muscle activity pre-contact (Table 2).
Statistically significant p < 0.05
The use of VPAC altered LE and trunk biomechanics and neuromuscular control when performing DVJ from 30 and 50 cm heights, although not all changes were consistent with greater knee protection. More potential clinical advantages were observed at the lower height, where increased medial hamstring activity, knee flexion and knee energy absorption during VPAC suggest an enhanced protective LE response. Similarly, VPAC triggered increased external oblique activity that may indicate enhanced trunk stability under lower loading conditions, when more neuromuscular control options are available. The demands of the 50 cm DVJ may have superseded the effectiveness of VPAC. Similarly, competing neuromuscular control requirements (trunk vs. LE) may have resulted in less attention to the abdominal contraction, and greater attention to the task at the higher height. The use of VPAC increases abdominal muscle activity, stabilizing the trunk against novel perturbations9 and increased medial hamstring activity protects ACL2. In the current VPAC study, VPAC demonstrates potential clinical advantages when landing from a commonly used height. In addition, these results suggest an enhanced protective knee response and improved trunk stability with VPAC use. Further study is needed to determine whether VPAC is effective for reducing ACL injury risk. The effects of VPAC on pelvis motion and relative motion among spinal segments should be examined as well.
A repeated measures design was used to examine the effects of VPAC using an abdominal bracing maneuver5 on biomechanical and neuromuscular control variables measured during a DVJ from two heights. Thirty-two healthy and active subjects (17 men and 15 women; M±SD age 24.6±2.4 years, height 1.76±0.12 m, and mass 77.6±19.0 kg) participated after providing informed consent. Volunteers were excluded if they reported LE pain, history of LE or lumbar spine surgery, active abdominal or gastrointestinal condition, or present pregnancy. Subjects were taught and allowed to practice VPAC. The presence of VPAC during the DVJ was verified by a review of the recorded electromyographic (EMG) data immediately after each trial. Eighteen reflective markers were placed on the LE and trunk. Surface EMG electrodes were placed over eight muscles on the right side LE and trunk. Each subject performed three successful DVJs from a raised platform at two heights (30 and 50 cm) with and without VPAC, presented in a random order. 3D kinematic data were recorded using an 8 camera Vicon-Peak system (120 Hz), while ground reaction force (GRF; Bertec Corp.) and EMG (Noraxon, Inc.) were recorded simultaneously (1200 Hz). Data were pre-processed using Motus (Vicon-Peak), exported and reduced using custom laboratory algorithms developed in Matlab (Mathworks). Dependent variables included trunk, hip, knee and ankle joint angles, and internal joint moments in 3D, sagittal plane LE joint powers, EMG root mean square (RMS) amplitudes pre- and post-initial ground contact. Descriptive statistics for 96 biomechanical and neuromuscular control variables were incorporated in an exploratory analysis: kinematic maxima, minima, range of motion and values at initial contact, kinetic maxima, minima and impulse, and the pre- and post-contact EMG RMS values were statistically analyzed (SPSS; α=0.05).

Score depends on a lot of things
Re: Visa Signature, there are plenty available there. My suggestion would be to get a cash back Visa Sign, that you can use for all your purchases.
With more than one card, your credit will only stengthen. However, how that will affect your score is difficult to tell without knowing your entire situation. Here how opening a new card will work.
1. More available credit: Good for score
2. Two cards (multiple accts): Good for score
3. One hard enquiry : a little dip in score (temporary)
4.Average credit history will decrease (with the new acct): Not so good for the score (the effect will be there for a while).
Use the simulators on this site and on various others to get a sense how that works. You will get the answer. Good luck.

Reductio Ad Hitlerum
As defined by Wikipedia:
"Reductio ad Hitlerum is rationally unsound as guilt by association (a form of association fallacy), it illogically attempts to shift culpability from a villain to an idea regardless of who is espousing it and why."
Apparently Nancy Pellosi has not heard of this or Godwin's Law. Again, citing Wikipedia:
"For example, there is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress. This principle itself is frequently referred to as Godwin's Law."
Speaker Pellosi recently accused the "AstroTurf" protesters of showing up at town hall meetings carrying swastikas.
What????????? I've seen a lot of American flags but no swastikas. And I wouldn't really think the Nazi Party or any of their symbolism would get any kind of love or understanding from a Tea Party type of crowd. However it does make for a pretty wide brush to smear your opponents with, now doesn't it?
And you know, I wasn't going to put up a copy of the poster that is taking L.A. and the Internet by storm - until I ran into an article in The Washington Post that contends the poster is racist.
Edgy? Yes. Racist? Give me a break. The tortured logic (if you can call it logic) employed by the writer doesn't stand up to even casual scrutiny. But it sure is effective when it comes to quelling that viral poster and branding anyone associated with it.
This is already ugly and it's going to get worse.UPDATE - Frank J. Fleming weighs in:
"In reality, it's up to the Republicans to stop Obama. And as they try to work with him and make some compromises with him, I have something to tell them: some men aren't looking for anything logical, like bipartisan support. They can't be influenced by polls, reasoned with, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

My story is a long one. I found out I was pregnant on January 21 with an at home pregnancy test. My test was confirmed at the doctors a few days later. We were so happy! (this was our first baby)
A few months into the pregnancy I started spotting. All ultrsounds showed nothing wrong, the doctors could not tell me why I was bleeding. I was ordered to complete bed rest. I left work on sick leave. Things seemed to be getting better until early June, when I started cramping really badly and bleedling profusely. I also lost my mucous plug. I immediagtely went to my gyn who said that it was not my mucous plug. I went home feeling worried and knowing that something was wrong. Low and behold a few days later I started having bad contractions and bleeding became even worse. I went to the hospital and they said that I was indeed having contractions and the ultrasounds showed that I had lost most of my water (IT WAS MY MUCOUS PLUG THAT I HAD LOST A FEW DAYS EARLIER, GOD I HATE MY DOCTOR!!!) I was admitted to the hospital on June 6th and was given steroid shot to speed up the baby's lung growth. I was told I would remain in the hospital until the baby was born, whenever that was. I was also told that there were no level 3 neonatal intensive care beds available in Ontario and was told that there was a bed open in Chicago and that I would be air lifted there. I did not want to be separated from my family at this point (I was extremely scared) so I took a chance and said I'd wait another few days for a hospital in Canada. On June 9th they found me a bed in a Toronto hospital and immediately my contractions became worse and about 4-5 minutes apart. They rushed me to the new hospital. My contractions subdued for a few hours. On June 10th about 1:00 AM the contractions came even worse and I was dialted to 4 cm. They rushed me to the OR because the baby was breach and I required an emergency c-section. In the OR they gave me a spinal tap which didnt work, so they then tried to give me an epideral which also didnt work, it wasnt numbing me as fast as i was dialating. They had to put me to sleep (after i protested for about 15 minutes because i was extremely scared, I DO NOT LIKE BEING PUT TO SLEEP!!!). I finally gave in and at about 2:30 AM Little Hughie Jr. was born. He weighed 795 grams!!. He wasnt responding, and neither was I . We lost all our vital signs also I lost over a litre of blood. They were able to get us going again. They put hughie on a ventialtor which damaged his lungs. They then switched him to a differnt type of vent. His lungs collapsed twice in the first month, he also has had 4 blood transfusions (because premature babies blood cells dont mature as fast as ours do). After the surgery the doctor told me I had an almost complete placental abruption and that is why I was bleeding that hole time. He said that sometimes ultrasounds will not show an abruption, especially if it is behind the placenta.
In the first month and a half, hughie reuired a high amount of oxygen. He had a pic line in his arm to his heart. He had a pneumonia and a lung infection, and his lungs collapsed several times, he had so many infections....
We brought him home on September 27 on o2. 3 months later he is off oxygen and doing much better however he was diagnosed with a severe hearing loss...we will see what happens with that, I am jsut glad that he is alive and doing great in other aspect...it could have been much worse!
He's such a good baby. He never cries!!! Hes just the cutest and I thank god that he is here. Evertime I look at him now I cant believe I wated so long to have children. Everyone count your blessings and be grateful for what you do have and never take anything for granted! In the first few days after his birth I was feeling so ######ed sorry for myself and him. I felt cheated and I felt like I had lost something even though he was still with us. I felt cheated out of everything, baby shower, a normal pregnancy....I quickly snapped out of that mode when I realized my energy should be spent on my son and helping him get better with prayer and doing little things for him like praying alot! And never under estimate the power of prayer. I used to be a non believer but now I believe!
What a touching story. Some parts seem very similar to mine! I'm happy to hear that he's doing well and I hope that his hearing isn't too damaged :(
I felt the same way as you though. I felt left out of my pregnancy. My best friend was pregnant and only a month ahead of me and I had to hear her ##### about her pain when I would have given anything to be in her shoes. My girl would be healthy and growing in my tummy where she should have been. I also didnt get the baby shower or the maternity photos or anything of the sort. I felt guilty that my baby had to go through so much, and her future was uncertain. But I am too thankful that she's normal and healthy now and here with us :)
You're a very tough mommy and your little boy is lucky to have you. Glad you both came out of the surgery ok after that scary ordeal!!! Hope he continues to do well.

Preview of Malta against Northern Ireland at the Ta'qali National Stadium
Michael O'Neill is looking for his first win as Northern Ireland manager as his side travel to Malta for a friendly.
Last Updated: 06/02/13 11:20am
O'Neill is looking for his first win at the eighth attempt of asking since taking over the helm, with the side having not won a game since a 4-0 victory over the Faroe Islands in August 2011.
The Mediterranean side have proven to be a good omen for Northern Ireland, who have managed five wins and a draw from their six previous visits, and in 1989 it provided a notable first for O'Neill as he netted his maiden international goal.
The winless run has included draws from four of his seven games, including an unlikely point in Portugal. But the clash will most likely provide a much-needed opportunity to try out youth for next month's qualifier against Russia with striker Kyle Lafferty and defender Chris Baird suspended for the game along with the withdrawal of several players through injury.
Goalkeepers Roy Carroll (back) and Trevor Carson (broken finger), defensive duo Ryan McGivern (hamstring) and Ryan McLaughlin (calf), midfielder Oliver Norwood (foot) and striker Jamie Ward (hamstring) have all pulled out of the squad because of concerns over their fitness.
A number of players could make their debuts, with Billy McKay of Inverness probably the most likely as the top scorer in the Scottish Premier League this season. Tranmere's Adam McGurk, Josh Magennis of Aberdeen and Walsall's Will Grigg are also contenders.
And the former Shamrock Rovers boss admits everybody is keen to finally end that winless run, saying: "It doesn't keep me awake at night, but the players want that (victory) as well. The players know we have to get back to winning games."
Malta have won four of their last seven games which is their best run since 2001-02. They will be without midfielder Roderick Briffa and defender Jonathan Caruana, who are both carrying knocks.
Head coach Pietro Chedin is set to make two changes from the side that completed a 1-0 win over Lichtenstein in November. Birkirkara's Paul Fenech set to replace Briffa.
Chedin wants his side to produce a robust performance despite it being a friendly. He said: "I am sure they will produce a stern challenge. We have to be very careful. Most of their players play in England's Premier League and the Championship and that shows they are a very valid team."

The Changing Face Of Voting
November 30, 1998
Polling places used to be open only on Election Day and absentee ballots were reserved for those who were legitimately out of town or who couldn't reach polls because of a physical handicap. But no more.
- An increasing number of states have turned to "no-fault" absentee balloting, as well as to providing early voting at polling stations that remain open for weeks before Election Day.
- More than 20 states have in place one or both of these early voting options -- most of which allow voters to cast their ballots up to 21 days before the election without having to provide a reason for doing so.
- Experts say that such practices are altering the way candidates conduct their campaigns -- driving up campaign costs and generating a cottage industry of political operatives with expertise in mail-balloting.
- Protracting the voting process, critics say, results in voters making early, ill-informed choices before they have studied the candidates and the issues.
Critics also maintain that a permanent mail system cannot help but invite fraud because ballots can and frequently do land in the wrong hands.
Campaigners in California are permitted to reprint official applications for absentee ballots, personalize them, mail them to supporters and then retrieve them before taking them to the county clerk's office -- which then mails the voters the actual ballots.
In what is viewed as a revolutionary step, Oregon will be the first state to go on an all-mail ballot in the next cycle, the result of a November initiative approved by 69 percent of the state's electorate.

It's a given that safe driving needs concentration, alertness and an ability to react in a coordinated and timely fashion. But what may not occur to you is that the medications you're taking can seriously impact all of these things. And it's not just prescription medications, but over-the-counter products as well.
"While laws differ from state to state, you can be charged with a DUI if caught driving hazardously while taking prescription or OTC meds, even if your doctor wrote you that prescription," adds C. Michael White, Pharm.D., FCP, FCCP, Professor and Head of the Department of Pharmacy Practice, University of Connecticut.
So what medications should you be concerned about? Read on to find out.
1. Pain relievers. The obvious culprits are opiates such as morphine and codeine, which cause sleepiness, dizziness, euphoria, and disorientation. However, there are a lot of OTC medications, such as ibuprofen, that do not cause drowsiness and dizziness but may reduce your pain for the first time in several days and indirectly cause you to relax, which can impair your coordination and reaction times. "When you are in pain, you expend a lot of energy trying to deal with it. When the pain drops off, so does your adrenalin and you feel exhausted. You feel so relieved that your judgment and coordination is off ," says Tomaka, Norman P. Tomaka, BS Pharm, MS, FAPhA, spokesperson for the American Pharmacists Association. For a day or so after intense pain has subsided, have someone else drive you or take public transportation.
2. Antihistamines. In the old days, all antihistamine medications made you sleepy. Nowadays, we have nondrowsy choices such as Claritin, Allegra and Zyrtec. The problem is that some people think all antihistamines are nondrowsy now, and forget to read the label. "If you are wondering if cough, cold or allergy product has an ability to impair driving, look at the ingredients. If something ends in "amine," it will make you sleepy," says White. Also, antihistamines can cause blurred vision because they dry up the tear ducts.
3. Antidepressants. Some antidepressants such as Trazodone, Nefazodone, and tricyclics can cause drowsiness and a slowness of reaction time in some patients. Those two or three extra seconds for braking could mean all the difference. Others, such as the SSRI depressants (Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro) can cause insomnia, which will make you tired and slow during the day. Also, when alcohol and antidepressants—both of which can cause drowsiness—are combined, the effect is heightened exponentially, says Tomaka, who is also Clinical Consultant Pharmacist and Healthcare Risk Manager for Consultant Pharmacy Services in Melbourne, Florida. This is not to say that you should never drive when taking antidepressants. Hold off driving for a few days when you first start, but for most people, their body will acclimate. If you find the drowsiness does not go away, try taking your medications at night so that the peak time of effect will be when you are sleeping.
4. Antihypertensives. Blood pressure medications may cause listlessness, especially the beta blockers. "If you are used to a blood pressure of 150/90, go on hypertensive, and your numbers drop to 120/80, that may zap your energy. The sluggishness usually goes away in the period of a week or two in most people, but be aware of it when you first take the medication," says Tomaka.
5. Antianxiety agents and muscle relaxants. Prescription medications such as Valium and Xanax may have a tranquilizing effect that can impair judgment and reaction times. Beware, also, of so-called natural sleep or relaxation products. "These are insidious because people might think they are natural, so they must not have any side effects. Usually they are used for sleep or relaxation. The one I am most concerned with is something called valerian root," says White. Melatonin may have a soporific effect as well.
6. Stimulants You would think a drug that perks you up (ie. caffeine pills, Red Bull) would be good to take before driving. Not so, says White. "The reality is that it makes you more impetuous and less likely to pay attention to fine details. If you have body revving substances in you and are feeling more energetic than usual, you may not have the ability to concentrate," he says. Don't worry about that cup of Joe before you hit the road. It's not a big enough dose to impair you. Five or six, however, you might want to rethink that trip. Stimulants combined with alcohol can give you the worst of both worlds. You don't feel as drunk as you would but the alcohol is still impairing your ability to drive.

Get email delivery of the Cadence blog featured here
In my last blog post, I talked about the three most common questions I heard at DAC from people who had some concerns about moving to the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). I already addessed the question "What does the UVM mean for the future of the OVM and VMM?" by noting that the OVM developers are moving their focus to the UVM.
Today I'd like to address the second common question: "Why is the first release of the UVM labelled as "Early Adopter (EA)?" Again, the answer to this question is part of the reason why the UVM is ready for production use on real projects today and why verification teams should not hesitate to adopt it.
The short answer to the question of why Accellera decided to call the first release "UVM 1.0 EA" is that some members of the VIP Technical Subcommittee (VIP-TSC) want to add a few more features to the UVM before declaring it as "1.0" level. The list is not yet finalized, but it might include such features as a register package, simulation runtime phases, and TLM 2.0 support.
The issue, of course, is that "Early Adopter" is making some potential UVM users nervous. They are wondering whether the UVM is really ready and whether the base-class library code is well-tested and stable. Some are also worried that the UVM 1.0 release will look very different, thereby obseleting work done with the UVM 1.0 EA version.
Fortunately,VIP-TSC Co-Chair Tom Alsop posted a terrific response on the UVM World Forum. He clarified that "only the 3 new features listed in the release notes should be consider[ed] as ... Early Adopter" and that the rest of UVM 1.0 EA is based on the very stable OVM 2.1.1 release. He also said that "UVM 1.0 will be backward compatible" with UVM 1.0 EA with few, if any, exceptions.
Since I've been lobbying hard for a high degree of backward compatibility throughout the entire OVM-to-UVM transition, I am delighted to see this commitment from Accellera. With the first two common questions answered, SystemVerilog OVM and VMM users have absolutely no reason not to consider the UVM now. In my next post, I'll deal with the multi-language needs.
Tom A.
The truth is out there...sometimes it's in a blog.

Sexy Women in 'Legends (Lingerie) Football League' Get Into Huge Brawl After Championship Game
Subscribe to Rock 108 on
Anybody who has ever said that women can't get as intense on the football field as dudes, is sadly mistaken. The women in the 'Legends (Lingerie) Football League' really got after it in a huge brawl that was all caught on video. Check out this intense, yet extremely sexy video that is NSFW due to language.
According to the LFL YouTube channel, the brawl was during a championship game between the Atlanta Steam, and the Jacksonville Breeze. Atlanta apparently won the game, but it was what happened after the game that is getting all of the attention.
As you can see in the video above, once the game was over and the teams were lining up to do the traditional handshakes, the two teams started talking smack to each other with language that would make even the most vulgar person on the world blush. Yes, it was epic.
Is there anything more sexier than women in short shorts rolling around on a football field?
You just gave yourself a high five didn't you?
