In the News: Complications With Drug Stents
Drug Stents Links of Interest
The Food and Drug Administration has said that drug-coated stents made by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX) carry a small but significant risk of blood clots that appear to emerge a year or later after the stents are placed.
The agency said the risk applies to the two drug stents currently on the U.S. market made by Johnson & Johnson and Boston Scientific when compared with older, so-called bare metal stents. The FDA said it was not yet clear if the drug stents carried an increased risk of heart attacks or death compared with the bare metal stents.
Stents are tiny mesh tubes used to prop open previously clogged arteries, and drug-coated stents use medication to prevent tissue growth after implantation. The FDA said the drug stents significantly reduce the rate of tissue regrowth and the need for additional procedures to reopen the arteries.
The FDA first approved J&J's drug-coated stent in 2003 and approved Boston Scientific's in 2004. The drug-coated stents have largely replaced the use of bare metal stents and have quickly become a $5 billion-plus market.
However, concerns have risen about whether the newer stents increase the risk of fatal blood clots. The agency said currently available data from clinical studies suggest a small "but significant risk of late stent thrombosis," or blood clots that emerge one year after the stent is placed. The agency said the total number of patients who have had the newer stents for three or more years is relatively small and it remains "uncertain" whether cases of blood clots will "continue to accrue with long-term follow-up."

A stent is a tiny metal mesh tube used to prop open clogged coronary arteries:
The stent is mounted on a balloon catheter, inserted in the groin and advanced to the narrowed section of the coronary artery:
The balloon is then inflated, pushing plaque aside and expanding the stent:
The balloon is deflated and removed while the stent remains in place, supporting the artery:
Restenosis refers to occlusion of the artery after the stent is implanted due to scar tissue forming and reblocking the artery. Subacute thrombosis is one type of restenosis that occurs soon after the stent device is implanted. In subacute thrombosis, the stent or the operation causes the formation of new platelets inside the stent, causing blood clotting and blockage. It occurs within days of the surgery and is usually treated with drugs like Plavix. Another type of restenosis involves new cell growth inside the stent and takes longer to develop. Drug-coated stents such as Cypher and Taxus were developed specifically to treat this type of restenosis.
- A bare metal stent costs about $800 and a drug-coated stent costs about $2,200.
- Since 2003, drug-eluting stents have become some of the best-selling, most profitable products in the medical device business.
- Only two drug-coated stent brands are available now in the United States: Taxus by Boston Scientific Corp. (made in Maple Grove, Minnesota, and Galway, Ireland), with 54 percent market share, and Cypher, by a division of Johnson & Johnson, with 46 percent market share.
- Drug-eluting stents are inserted into the arteries of a million people a year and generate $5 billion a year in sales; this market was projected to double by 2010.
- In stent restenosis (scar tissue formation) can occur after a bare metal stent (BMS) procedure.
- Drug-eluting stents (DES) are simply BMS coated with a polymer containing a drug intended to reduce the risk of restenosis.
- The drug itself is suspected of causing late-term (i.e., a year or more after implantation) thrombosis (reclotting). Patients may be required to take a blood thinner such as Plavix, possibly for life.
- Particularly alarming is the fact that restenosis is a common but relatively benign process while stent thrombosis is life-threatening.
- Restenosis benefits are overstated in real-world practice:
- "The clinical benefits of DES relative to target vessel restenosis and target vessel revascularization (TVR) have been overestimated. For example, the TVR rates in the control bare-metal stent (BMS) group were nearly 50 percent higher in the DES trials than that observed in contemporary interventional trials or in 'real-world' clinical practice."
- Drug stents cause more heart attacks than metal stents:
- Death and Q-wave myocardial infarction have a higher incidence in first-generation drug-eluting stents as compared with the bare metal control stents.
- One study says doctors should prescribe longer-term anti-platelet therapy:
- In a large consecutive cohort of contemporary patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the long-term risk for death and major cardiac events was significantly increased among patients in the drug-eluting stent group who had discontinued clopidogrel therapy at six or 12 months.
- Extended-duration clopidogrel therapy following drug-eluting stent implantation was associated with a lower incidence of death or myocardial infarction (MI), a finding that has immediate implications for clinical practice.
- Longer-term anti-platelet therapy reduces heart attacks:
- The risks of having a heart attack or dying were more than twice as high, or 7.2 percent, for patients who quit Plavix before six months compared with those who took the drug longer.
- "A study released yesterday by researchers in Switzerland found patients with drug-coated stents who stopped taking Plavix after six months were almost four times as likely to die or have a heart attack in the next year as those who carried implanted bare metal devices."
- 1-10-07: Impact of drug-eluting stents on smaller heart vessels could add to risk
- A Swiss study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that "collateral function," the functioning of small collateral heart vessels, is more severely impaired in patients implanted with drug-eluting stents than in those implanted with bare-metal stents six months after implantation.
- 12-12-06: Coated-stent makers rush to reassure after inquiry
- On the same day the Food and Drug Administration launched a two-day advisory panel on the risks of drug-coated stents, doctors across the country found an email on their computers from stent maker Johnson & Johnson, inviting them to join a conference call about stent safety …
- 12-7-06: West Palm Beach man sues J&J over drug-coated stent
- In a move that could signal a wave of litigation, a West Palm Beach man has sued Johnson & Johnson over a drug-coated stent made by Miami Lakes-based Cordis. A man has sued Johnson & Johnson and its Cordis subsidiary for allegedly failing to warn him of complications that could be caused by drug-coated stents placed in his arteries …
- 12-6-06: Risk of death rises with drug-coated stent:Study ties danger to stopping clot medicine
- Patients who have received a drug-coated stent to prop open an artery face double the risk of heart attack or death after they stop taking an anti-clotting drug, researchers said. The findings mean patients might need to stay on medication beyond the three to six months currently recommended and possibly for the rest of their lives, scientists said …

When you think of vegan-friendly cities, Tallinn isn't exactly the first place that springs to mind. However, it seems that while the city's architecture is medieval, its approach to vegan eating is positively progressive.
Whenever I visit somewhere that serves food, I always take a look at the menu – even if I'm not eating. And, in Tallinn I was pleased to see many places had at least one vegan option on offer.
Although we stayed in Tallinn a month, our budget meant we didn't sample all of the places we'd have like to. So, here, I'd like to give a special mention to F-Hoone and Von Krahl Bar, both of which caught my eye with their cruelty-free fare but neither of which I got to sample.
However, that's enough mourning over the meals that could have been. Without any further ado, I present to you my top six vegan highlights of Tallinn.
Vegan Restoran V
Boasting a 100% vegan menu, diners at Restoran V can rest assured that everything on this eatery's mouth-watering menu is animal free. The rustic restaurant in the middle of the old town offers diners a range of hearty meals that will leave you feeling satisfied for hours. We visited the eatery twice, but my highlights were the beetroot ravioli and the spicy seitan tacos.
The popularity of this restaurant speaks for itself. On the two occasions we visited, it was by sheer luck that we got a table. So, if you're planning a visit, I would recommend booking a good few days in advance to avoid disappointment.
Rataskaevu 12, 10130 Tallinn, Estonia
Lendav Taldrik
Don't let the trendy surroundings fool you. Like all good Asian restaurants, this Telleskivi-based eatery is affordable, tasty and down to earth. Vegan options are clearly labeled on the Lendav Taldrik menu. So, we feasted on a spread of Cauliflower Pakora, Tarka Dal, Channa Masala and Aloo Gobi. And, it was so good, we dined there twice.
Telliskivi 60A, 10412 Tallinn, Estonia
Must Puudel
An artsy cafe in the centre of town, Must Puudel has a relaxed hipster vibe with a menu to match. Although the venue does cater for meat eaters and veggies, there are enough vegan options to make you feel welcome.
I got some kind of coconut tofu salad. But, I'll readily admit I had a little bit of food envy when my boyfriend, Dan, started tucking into his vegan burger and crispy sweet potato chips.
Tokumaru Ramen & Sushi
I had never really had Japanese food until visiting this place, so it was a bit of an adventure for me. But, thankfully Tokumaru Ramen & Sushi didn't disappoint. Situated in a smart shopping centre just outside of the old town, the setting benefits from a modern interior and a clearly marked menu.
I had the tempura vegetables for my starter and the vegan ramen for my main. Both were delicious and the portions were so large, I ended up taking half my homemade noodles home. My only criticism was that the veggie Katsu Curry wasn't vegan. I did have my heart set on the prior to my visit.
Burger Box
Burger Box is a Tallinn institution. Since setting up in a makeshift kiosk in Kalamaja, the laid-back fast food restaurant has established itself as one of the highlights on Tallinn's culinary trail. Famed for its no-nonsense approached to grub, Burger Box's menu consists of just six items.
If you're vegan, you can wrap your lips around a tasty falafel burger filled with salad and pickles. But, if you want the real Burger Box experience, you have to order the kimchi fries as well. To me, they were an oddly creamy alternative to the cheesy chips we all know and love in the north.
Karu Talu Šokolaad
Sometimes the best discoveries come by chance. So, when we saw a little sign advertising vegan ice cream, we knew we had to investigate. That's how we ended up in Karu Talu Šokolaad – a chocolate shop and cafe that is completely vegan and completely irresistible. It was a hot day, so I got a tub of homemade peanut butter ice cream and it was utterly delicious.
So, those are my picks for Tallinn, but there are no doubt countless more eateries worth a mention. If you know of some, let me know in the comments so others can enjoy the vegan goodness x

He found them in one of the wrestling rooms.
Entering the room, Jeran was greeted by the sight of Danner flying through the
air and landing on his back. "You overextended again," Mourvan chided the gasping
blue Wocky.
Danner glared up at the brown Zafara. "Maybe
we should switch to fencing instead."
Mouvan shook his head, sending his brown ears
flapping, "No, you need to work on your weakest skill, and that would be hand
to hand for you."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence," Danner muttered
"Hey Danner," Jeran suggested, "after I finish
warming up, you can take a breather while I take a turn with Mourvan. Sound
good to you?"
The three of them spent the next hour having
a lot of fun trying to send each other flying. They took a short break to stretch
when Mareian entered the room, wearing what she called her 'work clothes', a
cream colored tunic with short frayed sleeves and a rumpled brown skirt. "Extra
security's been taken care of, forty-three guards will report to Danner tomorrow
for assignment." She smiled smugly, "I also hooked up a ball partner for Danner."
"Who?" Danner asked curiously.
"That's for me to know, and for you to find out,
My Lord. I figured that since you didn't get one for yourself, you must not
care very much."
Jeran grinned as Danner gave Mareian a sour look,
Mareian never let a chance to rankle Danner go by. They were actually very good
friends, but you'd never know it simply by listening to them snipe at each other.
Jeran figured it was a kind of game for them, with very obscure rules only the
two of them knew.
How could someone as big as her brother always
be so hard to find? Lisha thought in exasperation. After spending most of the
morning making sure all her new books had made it safely to the library, Lisha
had set out to find her brother and invite him to lunch.
She finally found him in the training rooms,
sparring with Danner. Sir Mourvan and the pirate Lupess from the night before
were sitting against the wall, Mourvan was watching Jeran and Danner's form;
the Lupess appeared to be deeply engrossed in reading a document, her brows
furled in concentration.
"Water break," Jeran panted to Danner. They must
have been working for a while for them to be so tired.
"Jeran," the Lupess asked spelling out a word,
"Obstinate," Jeran grunted, swallowing a mouthful
of water, "it means, 'stubborn'."
The Lupess scowled, "Why doesn't he just say
that than?"
Mourvan guffawed as he rose, "Because then it
would be easier to understand; and he thinks using big words like that make
him look smarter."
"Never," Danner intoned seriously as he sat next
to the tiny Lupess, "use a large word when substituting a diminutive one will
The Lupess snorted, "If you're going go use a
big, fancy word, you have to do it with style. Like defenestrate, for example.
Whenever you use that word, you know the conversation will be interesting."
The whole group laughed. Now Lisha was really confused; what kind of person
was this Lupess?
There was no way Jeran would be able to eat lunch
with her right now. With an inward groan, she realized that it wasn't lunch
time here yet; Lisha had fallen out of the normal castle routine while in Brightvale;
it would take her a bit of time to fall back into Meridell's schedule. None
of them had noticed her yet, so she wouldn't interrupt them during their workout.
She decided to eat a light snack, and then catch Jeran in his office in about
2 hours for lunch.
In the meantime, she was going to learn all she
could about this new Lupess. Every time she'd seen her brother since her return,
that Lupess had shown up.
The royal kitchens were hot, loud, and busy.
Grabbing a pair of meat rolls, Lisha escaped to one of the dining rooms attached
to the kitchens. The long tables were a refuge for many in the castle; pages
and squires struggled with homework strewn across the wooden tables while knights
sipping drinks either helped them with their homework, or told stories that
captivated the youngsters' attention.
Lisha scanned the tables for a spotted Gelert
named Benyamen. Ben was a good friend of hers; he was knighted the same year
as Jeran, but preferred to read and study history than fight in the field of
battle. As the professor of history for the pages in the castle, he was often
found helping his students with homework. Lisha finally found him tutoring a
young cloud Ixi lad.
"Ah! Lisha!" Ben exclaimed, "This is the woman
you should be asking about the Meridell and Citadel treaties, Shiyada," he told
the young Ixi. "Lady Lisha probably knows more about that subject than anyone
else in the world." He winked at Lisha, "That's why we keep her around."
Fortunately, Shiyada's homework question wasn't
really that difficult, and it didn't take much time to explain the answer. Watching
the now happy cloud Ixi trot away to finish his chores, she asked, "When did
the pages start getting so young?"
Ben chuckled, "Poor tyke, he's only been at the
castle 3 days, and the politics professor dumped the Meridell Citadel wars on
the class. In all fairness though, he was the last of the new bunch of pages
to arrive."
"But he's so little."
"I bet you were too, when you were eleven, Lisha."
Giving her a playful punch, he continued, "You still are. All joking aside,
I doubt you came here for homework help."
"I need to know more about that new Lupess working
for Jeran."
Ben blinked in surprise, "Mareian?"
"Is that her name? I never caught it."
Holding out his hand five feet from the ground,
Ben asked, "Pirate Lupess? About this tall, black tipped ears, and an attitude?"
"That's the one."
Grinning, Ben confirmed, "Yep, that's Mareian.
Mareian Mahkra is her full name. Jeran hired her about two months after you
left for Brightvale. She does undercover work, and gets information for him.
She's also helping Mourvan teach some of the pages hand to hand; word has it
that she can beat Mourvan half of the time in weaponless combat, and that's
saying something."
"So she's a spy?"
"Not exactly," he shrugged, "Danner calls her
the Court Rogue, though whether that's her actual title or not is anyone's guess.
Most of the pages idolize her, as do many of the squires. I think they like
the idea of someone their size being able to keep up with the big boys. The
fact that she's rather sarcastic and tends to speak her mind helps a lot too."
Laughing easily, he continued, "One of the squires
put a sign on Danner's office door. It read "The four most important rules to
remember while in Meridell are: Mareian is always right; I will listen to Mareian;
I will not ignore Mareian's recommendations; and Mareian is second only to the
King." Pausing he added, "I think it took most of the pages over a week to realize
it was a joke."
"Do you trust her?" Lisha asked cautiously.
Ben looked at her seriously, "Yes. She may be
a bit unorthodox, and have a rather spotted history, but I believe she'd do
anything to protect Meridell." He grinned, "After all, that is our job."
Whoever invented such odd spellings for words
should be very slowly racked, Mareian decided. After four months of daily
lessons with Jeran, Mareian could read nearly any word she saw; spelling them
on the other hand was a different story. The letters C and K were completely
baffling, they sounded the same most of the time so how could you tell which
one to use? At least with all the spelling practice her handwriting had improved,
at first it had looked like a page full of Crokabek scratches.
There was a soft knock at the door, which was
unusual, most of the people she knew banged on the door loudly. It was a hazard
of living in a building full of knights. It's probably one of the pages with
a message, she thought tiredly. For some reason, a half hour of studying
wore her out far more than an hour of physical exercise ever did. Opening the
door, Mareian stared in surprise at the small yellow Aisha holding a plump warf
on the other side.
"I hope I'm not interrupting you," the small
Aisha said shyly. "I'm Lisha; we really didn't have a proper chance to get introduced
"I'm Mareian. Please, come in." Now that Mareian
got a better look at Lisha, she recognized her from Jeran's office. "What an
adorable warf! What's her name?"
Lisha beamed. "This is Chubby." Apparently that
had been the right subject to open with; once talking about her warf, Lisha
visibly relaxed. She happily chattered with Mareian about various funny things
Chubby had done as a puppy, Mareian found Chubby's escapade in trying to drink
ink to be the funniest. The two women chatted for an hour, before Lisha excused
herself for bed.
So that's Jeran's sister, an exhausted
Mareian thought to herself as she crawled into bed later that night. I think
we'll get on just fine.
To be continued...

The general who led U.S. forces to victory in Iraq has acknowledged American troops may need to remain in that country for several more years.
Army General Tommy Franks has already handed over command of U.S. forces in the Middle East prior to his retirement. But he appeared Thursday before the House Armed Services Committee to answer congressional questions about the war in Iraq and the ongoing attacks against American troops there that continue to claim U.S. lives.
Congressional concern about the ongoing deaths was perhaps best summed up by Democratic Representative Ike Skelton in remarks to General Franks as the session opened.
"I have a fear that the pattern that we see now, if left unchecked, we may find ourselves, general, in the throes of guerrilla warfare for years. I hope that doesn't come to pass," he said.
General Franks rejected suggestions that Iraq is descending into chaos following the war. But he did say he cannot predict how long U.S. forces will be required to stay on to ensure security and stability.
"We will be involved in Iraq in the future and, sir, I don't know whether that means two years or four years. I just don't know," he admits.
The session followed a similar one Wednesday before the Senate at which General Franks appeared together with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to face tough questioning about U.S. military involvement in Iraq.
Mr. Rumsfeld did not attend the House hearing, prompting criticism from Democratic Representative Ellen Tauscher.
"I wish Secretary Rumsfeld had been here today because I have many questions for him as I think many people do as to exactly what we're going to do, how long it's going to take and how long [how much] it's going to cost," Ms. Tauscher said.
During his Senate appearance, Mr. Rumsfeld said large portions of Iraq are stable. He also said in those areas where enemy fighters are still active, "the problem," as he called it, is being dealt with in an "orderly and forceful fashion by coalition forces."

U.S. Directly Blames China's Military for Cyberattacks
U.S. Directly Blames China's Military for Cyberattacks
By DAVID E. SANGER
May 6, 2013 WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Monday explicitly accused China's military of mounting attacks on American government computer systems and defense contractors, saying one motive could be to map "military capabilities that could be exploited during a crisis."
While some recent estimates have more than 90 percent of cyberespionage in the United States originating in China, the accusations relayed in the Pentagon's annual report to Congress on Chinese military capabilities were remarkable in their directness. Until now the administration avoided directly accusing both the Chinese government and the People's Liberation Army of using cyberweapons against the United States in a deliberate, government-developed strategy to steal intellectual property and gain strategic advantage.
"In 2012, numerous computer systems around the world, including those owned by the U.S. government, continued to be targeted for intrusions, some of which appear to be attributable directly to the Chinese government and military," the nearly 100-page report said.
The report, released Monday, described China's primary goal as stealing industrial technology, but said many intrusions also seemed aimed at obtaining insights into American policy makers' thinking. It warned that the same information-gathering could easily be used for "building a picture of U.S. network defense networks, logistics, and related military capabilities that could be exploited during a crisis."
It was unclear why the administration chose the Pentagon report to make assertions that it has long declined to make at the White House. A White House official declined to say at what level the report was cleared. A senior defense official said "this was a thoroughly coordinated report," but did not elaborate.
On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hua Chunying, criticized the report.
''China has repeatedly said that we resolutely oppose all forms of hacker attacks,'' she said. ''We're willing to carry out an even-tempered and constructive dialogue with the U.S. on the issue of Internet security. But we are firmly opposed to any groundless accusations and speculations, since they will only damage the cooperation efforts and atmosphere between the two sides to strengthen dialogue and cooperation.''
Missing from the Pentagon report was any acknowledgment of the similar abilities being developed in the United States, where billions of dollars are spent each year on cyberdefense and constructing increasingly sophisticated cyberweapons. Recently the director of the National Security Agency, Gen. Keith Alexander, who is also commander of the military's fast-growing Cyber Command, told Congress that he was creating more than a dozen offensive cyberunits, designed to mount attacks, when necessary, at foreign computer networks. When the United States mounted its cyberattacks on Iran's nuclear facilities early inPresident Obama's first term, Mr. Obama expressed concern to aides that China and other states might use the American operations to justify their own intrusions.
But the Pentagon report describes something far more sophisticated: a China that has now leapt into the first ranks of offensive cybertechnologies. It is investing in electronic warfare capabilities in an effort to blind American satellites and other space assets, and hopes to use electronic and traditional weapons systems to gradually push the United States military presence into the mid-Pacific nearly 2,000 miles from China's coast.
The report argues that China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, commissioned last September, is the first of several carriers the country plans to deploy over the next 15 years. It said the carrier would not reach "operational effectiveness" for three or four years, but is already set to operate in the East and South China Seas, the site of China's territorial disputes with several neighbors,
including Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. The report notes a new carrier base under construction in Yuchi.
The report also detailed China's progress in developing its stealth aircraft, first tested in January 2011. Three months ago the Obama administration would not officially confirm reports in The New York Times, based in large part on a detailed study by the computer security firm Mandiant, that identified P.L.A. Unit 61398 near Shanghai as the likely source of many of the biggest thefts of data from American companies and some government institutions.
Until Monday, the strongest critique of China had come from Thomas E. Donilon, the president's national security adviser, who said in a speech at the Asia Society in March that American companies were increasingly concerned about "cyberintrusions emanating from China on an unprecedented scale," and that "the international community cannot tolerate such activity from any country." He stopped short of blaming the Chinese government for the espionage.
But government officials said the overall issue of cyberintrusions would move to the center of the United States-China relationship, and it was raised on recent trips to Beijing by Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey.
To bolster its case, the report argues that cyberweapons have become integral to Chinese military strategy. It cites two major public works of military doctrine, "Science of Strategy" and "Science of Campaigns," saying they identify "information warfare (I.W.) as integral to achieving information superiority and an effective means for countering a stronger foe." But it notes that neither document "identifies the specific criteria for employing a computer network attack against an adversary," though they "advocate developing capabilities to compete in this medium."
It is a critique the Chinese could easily level at the United States, where the Pentagon has declined to describe the conditions under which it would use offensive cyberweapons. The Iran operation was considered a covert action, run by intelligence agencies, though many techniques used to manipulate Iran's computer controllers would be common to a military program.
The Pentagon report also explicitly states that China's investments in the United States aim to bolster its own military technology. "China continues to leverage foreign investments, commercial joint ventures, academic exchanges, the experience of repatriated Chinese students and researchers, and state-sponsored industrial and technical espionage to increase the level of technologies and expertise available to support military research, development and acquisition."
But the report does not address how the Obama administration should deal with that problem in an economically interconnected world where the United States encourages those investments, and its own in China, to create jobs and deepen the relationship between the world's No. 1 and No. 2 economies. Some experts have argued that the threat from China has been exaggerated. They point out that the Chinese government — unlike, say, Iran or North Korea — has such deep investments in the United States that it cannot afford to mount a crippling cyberstrike on the country.
The report estimates that China's defense budget is $135 billion to $215 billion, a large range attributable in part to the opaqueness of Chinese budgeting. While the figure is huge in Asia, the top estimate would still be less than a third of what the United States spends every year.
Some of the report's most interesting elements examine the debate inside China over whether this is a moment for the country to bide its time, focusing on internal challenges, or to directly challenge the United States and other powers in the Pacific.
But it said that "proponents of a more active and assertive Chinese role on the world stage" — a group whose members it did not name — "have suggested that China would be better served by a firm stance in the face of U.S. or other regional pressure."
Correction: May 7, 2013
An earlier version of this article misstated the number of the unit identified by a New York Times article in February as the likely source of many of the biggest thefts of data from American
companies and some government institutions. It is P.L.A. Unit 61398, not 21398. The article also misspelled the name of China's first aircraft carrier. It is the Liaoning, not the Lianoning. Πηγή: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/07/world/asia/us-accuses-chinas-military-...

Most people do their best to avoid arsenic. If they end up ingesting it, it's because somebody poisoned them. Or maybe because their well is contaminated with it. But in the 19th century, a group of people known as the toxophagi who intentionally ate arsenic became a sort of sensation in the medical community.
In 1854, the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal (the predecessor of the New England Journal of Medicine) translated an account of the arsenic eaters, written by a Mr. de Tschudi. The practice of arsenic eating was apparently introduced in Styria (now a part of Austria) in the 12th century. According to Tschudi, peasants called it hedri and took it for a fresh and healthy appearance. In particular, young people would secretly take arsenic to attract the opposite sex–a lovelorn, gangly teenager could become pleasantly plump, with rosy cheeks, and finally get the attention of the town heartthrob. The drawback, of course, is that sometimes someone would become overly enthusiastic about this beauty aid and accidentally poison themselves.
People also thought that arsenic could help them ascend steep hills by making it easier to breathe. If you have ever seen the Sound of Music, you can imagine this would come in helpful in Austria. On a long mountain hike, someone might bring along a little piece of arsenic to chew or mix into their coffee as a pick-me-up.
A newbie would take just a little at a time. They might start with a lentil sized piece several mornings a week, then work up to as much as eight times that (more than enough to kill most people). Many users reported linking their arsenic intake to lunar cycles, taking less as the moon waned. Once someone was accustomed to this sort of regimen, they reported feeling ill if they tried to go without arsenic. In fact, if the dose wasn't decreased gradually, the toxophagi said that severe illness or even death could result. What's more, arsenic eaters could live to a ripe old age, something that could confound the would-be poisoner. Tschudi recounted the story of a servant who disliked his boss. He started to poison her with arsenic, starting with a little at a time to make her illness appear gradual, so it wouldn't attract suspicion. Instead of getting sick, he was dismayed to see the woman become increasingly healthy. Apparently, the practice of eating arsenic complicated other cases of poisoning too. When a client was accused of poisoning someone with arsenic, their lawyer would raise the "Styrian defense." They would maintain that the victim was an arsenic eater, and that they poisoned themselves. In some cases, this defense worked, and the accused was acquitted!
Many U.S. and British scientists were pretty skeptical of these reports of arsenic eating, so they started doing research of their own. At one conference, a doctor actually presented two habitual arsenic eaters, each of whom ate 300-400 mg of arsenic in front of the audience. And in case that didn't convince the assembled scientists, he also presented a chemical analysis of their urine afterwards, demonstrating that it was full of arsenic. Apparently, scientific conferences back then were more exciting than meetings are today.
All of these glowing reports from Styria ended up changing the perception of arsenic here in the U.S., at least for a while. The stories of the Styrian arsenic eaters helped lend credence to the wild claims made by quacks who peddled arsenic-containing tonics. I found this old advertisement for arsenic "beauty wafers." Don't you wonder how many women used them?
The arsenic eaters remind me of Wesley, in the Princess Bride, who slowly developed a tolerance to the deadly poison iocane. Only arsenic, unlike iocane powder, is real–and some of these toxophagi really could have pulled off Wesley's put-the-poison-in-both-cups trick !

Unthinkable Thoughts on 9/11
The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11. By David Ray Griffin. Olive Branch Press, 2004. xxv + 214 pgs.
Jean Bethke Elshtain thinks that I should not be reviewing this book. Of course, you may say, she thinks that I should not be writing at all. But I do not here refer to her views about me. She thinks, rather, that no one should take this book seriously. She calls "the suggestion that American officials, including the president, were complicit in the [September 11] attacks 'preposterous' [and] adds: 'This sort of inflammatory madness exists outside the boundary of political debate' and therefore does not even 'deserve a hearing'" (p. xv, quoting Elshtain).
Since The New Pearl Harbor very definitely does entertain such charges, it falls under her ban. But to dismiss Griffin as a crackpot is prima facie mistaken. He is a philosopher of distinction, especially noted as an exponent of "process" thought in the style of Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne. Among his many books, his God, Power, and Evil and Unsnarling the World-Knot seem to me particularly excellent. (The latter book is a study of the mind-body problem.)
The vital core of Griffin's book is this. President Bush and high officials of his administration wished, long before the attacks of September 11, to pursue a policy of militant worldwide aggression against supposed enemies of freedom. An invasion of Iraq and drastic measures against other nations in the "axis of evil" were contemplated.
But how could the American people be brought to back so costly and dangerous a policy? The attacks of September 11 solved the president's problem. After the grievous blows struck against us by terrorists, who but a few "extremists" dared oppose the invasion of Iraq?
The startling hypothesis that our author invites us to consider is that, to some degree or other, the Bush administration was complicit in what thus served its purpose. Just as revisionist historians such as Charles Beard and Charles Tansill argued that President Roosevelt allowed the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor in order to bring a united American people into war, so does our author suggest an analogous strategy for President Bush. (Oddly, Griffin does not refer to the Pearl Harbor precedent, despite the title of his book. Richard Falk alludes to the revisionist view in the book's foreword.)
Griffin is a careful philosopher, and he usefully distinguishes eight varieties of official complicity. These range from "Construction of a False Account [of the September 11 attacks]" to "White House Involved in Planning [the attacks]" (pp. xxi–xxii). His evidence inclines him to take most seriously the higher degrees of complicity; but it is important to bear one fact in mind. Griffin nowhere asserts that any of the charges of complicity are true. He confines himself to saying that the researchers who have made such charges, such as Nafeez Ahmed, Paul Thompson, Thierry Meyssan, and Michael Chossudovsky, have raised claims that warrant careful investigation. Griffin's task has been to summarize and analyze the work of these and other researchers, adding to their body of work some arguments of his own.
Before I proceed to Griffin's contentions, I think a confession is in order. In spite of the book's intrinsic importance, I have hesitated to review it. Many of the arguments advanced depend on technical matters that I lack the knowledge to evaluate. When, e.g., Griffin claims that the manner of collapse of the World Trade Center buildings suggests that explosives were present inside, or when he suggests that photographs of the damage indicate that a missile rather than a plane struck the Pentagon, I can do no more than report his remarks. In order to evade this problem, I shall confine myself to discussing Griffin's less technical arguments.
Griffin's initial argument is one of his strongest. Why were the planes that attacked the Twin Towers not intercepted before they crashed into their targets? Does not the United States have an elaborate system in place to take action against planes that deviate from their assigned flight paths and lose radio contact with the ground? According to spokespersons for NORAD [the responsible military agency], from the time the FAA senses something is wrong, "it takes about one minute" for it to contact NORAD, and then NORAD can scramble fighters "within a matter of minutes to anywhere in the United States" (p. 4). If this is so, there was ample time to stop the first plane from striking the World Trade Center. The case is even more compelling that the second plane could have been stopped, let alone the plane that struck the Pentagon. (Griffin is in some doubt that a plane did hit the Pentagon: but if it did, it could have been stopped.)
But has NORAD actually intercepted and, if necessary, shot down commercial airplanes within the United States within a few minutes of being notified? Griffin's case would be strengthened by examples of such incidents. Otherwise, a competing hypothesis explains NORAD's poor response. Perhaps the United States does not have so speedy and precise a capacity to respond to air attacks as NORAD claims. Elaine Scarry argues exactly this in Who Defended The Country? (Beacon Press, 2003), and it would be valuable to have Griffin's response to her arguments.1
In his discussion of the attack on the Pentagon, Griffin makes a startling claim. If true, it alone would suffice to bring into question the official story. Our author claims that anti-missile batteries protect the Pentagon. If so, why were these not used? But what supports the claim about the batteries? Griffin tells us that the "Pentagon is, in fact, Meyssan points out, protected by '[f]ive extremely sophisticated antimissile batteries'" (p. 32). But is Meyssan correct? It would be valuable to have more confirmation than the bare statement of a controversial French researcher.
Griffin also contends that U.S. intelligence agencies ignored various warnings in the months before September 11 that terrorists planned a massive attack in the near future. He offers a number of examples of such warnings. For this to count as a good argument for the official complicity thesis, Griffin needs to overcome the Roberta Wohlstetter objection. In her Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision, she argued (in my view unconvincingly) against the revisionist contention that Washington ignored advance warnings of an attack on Pearl Harbor. She admitted that there were such warnings. But intelligence agencies are often inundated by warnings, almost all of which turn out to be false alarms. Wohlstetter claimed that the genuine warnings drowned in a sea of "noise." Is Griffin vulnerable to a parallel point?
I think he has available a convincing response: the information available was so precise and specific that an agency acting in good faith could not rationally have ignored it. (The Pearl Harbor revisionists, incidentally, have available the same response to Wohlstetter.) Far from responding to the warnings, in some cases agents were ordered to ignore them.
One example must here suffice. David Schippers, an attorney involved in President Clinton's impeachment, "publicly stated that he had attempted to warn Attorney General Ashcroft about attacks planned for 'lower Manhattan' six weeks beforehand, based on information he received from FBI agents. In this and subsequent statements, Schippers stated that the dates and targets of the attacks as well as the names and funding sources of the hijackers were known by these agents months in advance. Schippers claimed further that the FBI curtailed these investigations, then threatened the agents with prosecution if they went public with their information" (p. 84, emphasis in original).
I have been able to mention only a few of Griffin's many claims. I have indicated some reasons to doubt a few of these; but even if these particular arguments are rejected, this does not destroy his case. I shall let this gifted philosopher explain: In a deductive argument, "each step in the argument depends on the truth of the previous step. If a single premise is found to be false, the argument fails. However, the argument for official complicity in 9/11 is a cumulative argument . . . [which is] like a cable composed of many strands. Each strand strengthens the cable. But if there are many strands, the cable can still hold a lot of weight even if some of them unravel" (p. xxiv, emphasis in original).
1Griffin is aware of the incompetence objection, although he does not mention Scarry. He thinks it is an excuse to avoid confronting the conspiracy view.

Arkham Reviews Snow Bunny!
Arkham Reviews has written wonderful, detailed review of Snow Bunny and Snowball.
You can read the whole review of Snow Bunny here.
Kim Dyer's earlier review of Snowball.
I was especially glad to see that tiny aspects of Snow's early adventures – such as the construction of the hovercraft – were really significant later on. For the last third I was on the edge of my seat as the thrill of the rescue mission just went from peak to peak. Zeman has a particular knack for writing gripping action sequences that really make use of Snow's ability to rapidly change form.

Sandra Bernhard will perform tonight at Carnegie Hall at a fundraiser to raise money for music education programs for underprivileged kids. The Music of Prince show produced by Michael Dorf has Elvis Costello, D'Angelo, Talib Kwell, Bettye Lavette, Amos Lee, Devotcka, and many others performing Prince hits. The Roots are the house band. And on Saturday, Sandra will appear at the Tarrytown Music Hall in the namesake NY suburb. This is part of her national tour which will take her through the summer. Sandra was the go-to gal for me when I opened two clubs back in the day, She wowed them on New Year's Eve a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away with an all-star cast that she assembled when the Palladium entrusted me to fill it. She also set the tone for me at Life when I first launched that fabulously famous joint. In both cases, I enjoyed the consummate professional who wowed us off and on the stage. This week, I caught up with Sandra and asked her all about it.
It was Donatella Versace.
And we had Debbie Harry open, or after you performed because that's the way it works. And the Psychedelic Furs performed for the first time in 10 years, and we had PM Dawn perform at dawn.
Oh my God.
So it was the biggest booking I think I ever did.
Those days are gone. And sadly, cause I miss The Palladium. It was a great club.
I might just pull it back a bit, because you're not gonna do a New York-style show in a place that doesn't call for it. So in the sense of bringing all my wardrobe? No, I'm not gonna do that. But, I'll be there with my band! We'll have a great show. Apparently, a lot of NYers have moved to Tarrytown, as with all the surrounding areas of NYC, so you're always gonna get a good audience wherever you are.
Tonight you're playing with Elvis Costello, who's amazing, at The Music of Prince at Carnegie Hall. What is the music of Prince?
It's a fundraiser for music education and it's like 20 different people covering Prince songs. I'm covering "Little Red Corvette" with the band The Roots. You know, Questlove, it's his band that's the backup band. And other people are bringing their own bands, but I'm performing with Questlove. They're backing me up.
You're right in the forefront of the movement for LGBT rights. Under this administration, there seems to be exponential strides. Even Dirty Harry himself, Clint Eastwood, came out for gay marriage. Are you running out of material?
That was never my thrust, the gay movement per se. That was certainly the backdrop, because that's just sort of where the smart, forward-thinking people have always existed, and still do to a certain extent. But my material is much more eclectic than that and always has been. I mean, I never identified myself as, you know, a "gay performer." That's just not where I'm at. My work is about taking all the things that I thought were sophisticated and important from all the different worlds. From the art world, from the music scene, the underground scene, from vaudeville, to Broadway, to rock 'n' roll, to burlesque, to the Black movement. I've always melded my shows together. I'm postmodern, honey. I don't get caught up in one thing. Never have.
I booked you back in the day because you know how to make a statement.
And that's what I'm still doin, honey, cause there's plenty to make statements about. Now the statement is: how complacent can our culture be? How lazy can we be? How dependent are we on social media? And the lack of people putting themselves out there, meeting new people face-to-face, being inspired, which is the real human experience! That's what makes people great and interesting. You can't do that by hiding behind the veils of social media. I mean, it just cuts off people's ability to grow as people.
You have this band called The Flawless Zircons, which I think is an amazing name. Tell me about them.
You do so many things in your career, but what would you like to be remembered as? What is Sandra Bernhard's legacy?
As somebody who constantly breaks down the walls of complacency. I love being somebody who can command attention on stage. Who demands attention. Who earns attention. Is somebody who not only entertains you, but makes you walk away at the end of the night and think, "wow, here's somebody who shares my emotions, my fears, my hopes." There's a wave that carries us through life, and throws us on to lots of different shores of interesting, exciting, ongoing, inspiring circumstances. But life should always be inspiring. It shouldn't suddenly drop off the cliff and not be fun anymore, no matter where we're at culturally or environmentally. We still gotta find ways of making life inspiring.
How far is the real Sandra Bernhard from the stage Sandra Bernhard? Are you always on? Is it always you?
No, not at all. I think I can drop into entertaining mode at the drop of a hat. But day-to-day, it's work! You gotta roll up your sleeves, deal with so many different elements of this business. I'm on both sides of the live-performing and the creative side, and I'm also on the acting side. You can't just throw it into somebody else's lap because it'll just fall apart. At different junctures, I've been with the wrong people, and you just gotta wrestle back control of your career, and be collaborative with people.
I've always enjoyed my life. As an artist and creative person, you're always struggling to find level footing because you see things other people don't see. If you didn't see them, you would have nothing to talk about. You may lift up corners of rugs that are filthy, and no one wants to look at the filth, but if you don't look at the filth then you've got nothing to talk about. So, when you look at things that are a little shocking or a little scary, they affect you emotionally and physically. That's what artists do – painters, sculptors, writers, singers, funny people – we look at things that other people aren't willing to look at, and then talk about it in a funny or interesting creative way.
Right now, a friend of mine is developing a great television series idea for me and another actress I don't want to talk about because we're right in the planning stages. We're setting up meetings to go out and pitch the idea, and there's nothing more irritating than when things are in transition. You just gotta let them fall together. But it's a great idea with another fabulous, highly-visible actress who needs to be seen again, so it's the two of us. I feel very positive about it, and that's my next thing that I really wanna get done.

The Florida Panhandle, that narrow strip of the Sunshine State bordered by Alabama, Georgia, and the Gulf of Mexico, boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. The sand here is sugar-white, and the waters shimmer in shades of blue and green, rivaling the Caribbean. The surf is gentle, and there's no abrupt drop-off, so you can wade far out into the warm gulf waters searching for sand dollars. Fragrant pine forests, bays and lakes teeming with fish, and lazy, sand-bottomed rivers fringe the shore.
One of the most beautiful parts of the Panhandle is an area called the Beaches of South Walton. Located in Walton County, the beaches lie along Scenic 30-A, a two-lane road lined with cottages, locally owned eateries, shops, and art galleries. You won't find a chain motel or fast food restaurant anywhere along the road and no water slides, miniature golf courses, or souvenir emporiums either.

First off, I'm a bit of a bind n00b so if I say things that don't make sense just ignore them =)
Is there any software that would allow "API" like commands for creating, updating, deleting etc. zones and records on BIND?
I have two DNS servers running on EC2 and I want to be able to easily manage domains on them from another app. I know something like CPanel has a HTTP API and interfaces with BIND but that's probably overkill for what I need. I don't mind installing Apache/PHP/Mysql/Python/Rails/Whatever else needed to get it to work but all the servers will be doing is DNS
EDIT: Or get BIND to use MySQL for storing it's config, then I could just write a simple PHP script to do the 'API' bits

Cold weather has hit Oklahoma.
Of course it is January, so I guess cold weather is a pretty sure thing in most places. And even if it is not cold where you are, it is probably the coldest time of year if you live anywhere in the US.
Because it is cold, and it is January, I thought today would be a perfect day to highlight some of my favorite soup recipes. Some are quick and easy and some are crock pot meals, but they are all delicious and perfect for a cold winter day.

It was always a pleasure going to work." After 18 years of serving their customers they decided it was time to slow down. A casual conversation with a sales rep eventually led to an offer to buy the business. The negotiation began and after three other parties were interested in purchasing the business, Richard and Shirley settled on the original offer and sold to the Bobysuds. The couple, who already has experience in the Miniblinds industry, took over the business on June 1st. The Ehrenberg's will stay on as mentors. "We know the Bobysuds will do a great job and take Miniblinds & More to great heights."
Richard Ehrenberg was very thankful to McQuaig & Welk for their assistance with the sale. "John McQuaig handled the valuation of my business, all the paperwork, and the sales negotiation. The whole McQuaig & Welk staff made the process very easy."
So what recommendations does Richard have for other business owners looking to sell their business and retire? "Definitely work with a qualified CPA firm to evaluate their business and help them determine the value. McQuaig & Welk has made this a very smooth transition."

Entertainment is a major aspect of most top marketing methods, drawing in consumers and creating a narrative that both interests and inspires them. Trend Hunter's Marketing Trend Report presents further ways to grab consumer attention through marketing.
By using engaging narratives in your marketing campaigns, businesses can create an emotionally compelling image for their brand. In the Du Juan Numero China September 2011 editorial, photographer Vincent Peters used his background as a filmmaker to make each image tell a story. Model Du Juan was dressed up in fashionable ensembles that were glamorous with an air of mystery due to the compelling femme fatale narrative that had been created throughout the photoshoot.
Top marketing methods often use identifiable narratives so that consumers can find themselves relating to the brand and its message. In riot advertorials for example, companies use protest imagery as part of their marketing strategy in order to capitalize on the emotional reactions they arouse. Similarly, JOE BOXER, staged a fake protest as part of a media launch to draw attention to their fundraiser marathon. Participants of the fake riot wore underwear over their clothes and congregated outside of the hospital, drawing awareness and support from people passing in the street.
By incorporating an element of entertaining narrative in a marketing campaign, brands can connect with consumers on a more emotional, personal and ultimately, lasting level.

They Died As They Lived
The Cubs season ended they way it began, with "the best free agent on the market" making an out.
At least this year, the Cubs ended their post-season quickly and in a whole unsurprising manner. There was no ball randomly dribbling between someone legs or some bizarre fan interference that ruins some poor kids life. No, this year, how the Cubs lost in a three game sweep to the Diamondbacks because of the same issues they have dealt with all season - inconsistent pitching and the inability to get "clutch" hits with runners in scoring position. You only have to look as far back as last week to have seen this coming. The Cubs were swept by the Marlins this season, and were outscored 17-40 by a 71-91 team.
The only true surprise came from Zambrano and Lilly, as they seemed to completely switch roles. If I had told you that one starter would give up only 4 hits and 1 run with 1BB/8K over 6 innings while the other would only go 3 1/3 with 7 hits, 6 runs, and 4BB/4K AND came a bit unglued on the mound after giving up a 3 run homer, you would have guessed wrong about which line ultimately belonged to which pitcher. I have to imagine that this played into Pinella's thinking too when he pulled Carlos despite the fact that he was having one of his most effective starts of the season. At least Big Z will now be completely rested for his first start in spring training.
Arizona won the series because they came in loose and energetic compared to the Cubs who seemed to be tight and lacking and confidence, both in themselves and in each other. Soriano, Lee, and Ramirez went a combined 6-38. The Cubs as a whole batted .194/.307/.255 with one home run from the PCL player of the year who rode the bench for the final game of the season.
So right now, the Cubs are cleaning out their lockers and heading home. They won division title so the organization can prop another flag up on the awning, but I doubt that will be little consolation to anyone. Also, it is impossible to really start speculating what the team will be like next year thanks to the pending ownership drama that will beset us for the next few months. It's probably safe to bet that Floyd, Kenndal, and sadly even Wood will not return next season. Outside of that, who the hell knows what is going to happen.
Was this a disappointing season? I don't know that I would say so. It was a disappointing end, to be sure, but these Cubs created a great turnaround about a third of the way through, shaking off the pathetic ending of the Dusty Baker era as Lou dragged them into first place through kicked-up clouds of dirt. There is no question that this team finished where they did thanks to it's manager and his belief his players. Will the Cubs be a better team next year? I'd like to think that they will but until a new owner is crowned by Pope Selig, we really have no way of knowing what the hell is going to happen. At least we'll all have something to talk about.

NEW HUDDERSFIELD Town boss Simon Grayson says Glynn Snodin and Ian Miller are the perfect pair to help him achieve success.
The new manager worked with both men at Leeds and was eager to have them on board at the Galpharm.
Both are hugely experienced, with Snodin, 51, a full-back at Doncaster, Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, Hearts and Barnsley before moving into coaching at Carlisle.
He has also worked at Scarborough, Doncaster (alongside brother Ian), Charlton, Southampton, Northern Ireland and West Ham.
Grayson first linked up with Snodin at Leeds in February 2009, having become Elland Road boss the previous December, when he brought in Scotsman Miller, 56.
A former winger with Bury, Doncaster, Swindon, Blackburn, Port Vale and Scunthorpe, Miller has coached at Port Vale, Wolves, Blackburn, Blackpool, Bury, Leicester and Manchester City.
Like Grayson, Snodin and Miller have agreed contracts to the summer of 2015 and had their first training session with the players yesterday.
The trio will be in the dug-out for the first time when Exeter visit for Saturday's crucial League I clash and Grayson said: "We're all up for the challenge ahead.
"We all have our own ideas and input and bounce ideas off each other. I trust them fully, and they are not yes men, which is important."
Grayson, meanwhile, has revealed he accepted less compensation from Leeds that he was entitled to in order to take the Town job.
"I wanted this job badly, but there were still a few things to sort out with Leeds," explained the 42-year-old, who was sacked by the Elland Road club on February 1.
"I had to take a bit of a hit financially, but it's a price worth paying for a challenge that really excites me."

June 18, 2013 — In a Drug Safety Communication, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that they will investigate two unusual deaths associated with the anti-psychotic medication Zyprexa Relprevv.
The FDA currently recommends that hospitals monitor patients for 3-4 hours after they receive an injection of Zyprexa. The two patients died 3-4 days after receiving an injection. Blood tests showed "very high" levels of Zyprexa.
The FDA has already placed a "Black Box" warning on the label for Zyprexa for post-injection delirium sedation syndrome (PDSS). The life-threatening condition occurs when levels of the drug increase rapidly in a patient's bloodstream. Complications can include delirium, irregular heart rhythm, cardiopulmonary arrest, sedation, coma, and death.
Researchers identified cases of PDSS in patients who were given Zyprexa, but only during the first 3 hours. They did not identify any deaths during clinical trials. The FDA still does not know whether Zyprexa contributed to the deaths of the two patients, and concluded:
"At this time, the FDA is continuing to evaluate these deaths and will provide an update when more information is available."
Do I have a Zyprexa Lawsuit?
The Schmidt Firm, PLLC is currently accepting Zyprexa induced injury cases in all 50 states.

You are here:
Mineral exploration and mining must not result in environmental damage. State Mining Facilities contain clauses prohibiting the working of minerals without Planning Permission and, if necessary, an Integrated Pollution Control (IPC) licence from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
An Environmental Impact Statement is required identifying and considering all "likely significant environmental impacts". The EIA process for mining is implemented through the land use Planning Acts and Regulations. The Minister is a statutory consultee in the planning and EIA process for extraction of minerals governed by the Minerals Development Acts, and will pay particular attention to mining issues such as potential for subsidence and closure planning.
It is obligatory for new mining developments to obtain Integrated Pollution Control Licences from the EPA. All aspects of air and water pollution, noise and waste are covered by this single integrated licence.

It's another one of those scenarios where I shouldn't laugh because it's genuinely frightening, but at the same time, I can't help but laugh because I'm not the victim. That makes me a terrible person, doesn't it?
Anyways, this happened last week to a friend of a friend, but I was only told the story an hour or so ago. And what a great story it is.
So basically, the tenant (my friend's friend) was due to pay rent last week via direct debit. But for some reason or another, the transaction failed, consequently the landlord wasn't best pleased.
Apparently, the landlord didn't have the patience to call the tenant to find out why the rent hadn't been paid. Instead, he deemed it appropriate to (this is the good part) let himself into the property, go upstairs into the tenant's bedroom, wake him up, and then order him to make a quick journey to the cash point. Bearing in mind, this happened during the morning of the day when rent was due. By right, the tenant still had the rest of the day to pay.
The tenant acted like a disciplined little bitch by getting up and making the journey to the cash point in the landlord's car. After handing over the rent, the landlord jumped back into his car and left the tenant on the side of the road. Haha. You can't even make this shit up.
I almost didn't believe it, but I'm assured the story is legit.
The tenant sounds like a complete pussy
When I heard the story, it was frighteningly obvious that the landlord is a psychopath. It was so obvious that I didn't even think twice about his actions. In the mean time, my mind was totally perplexed by the actions of the tenant.
If I was a tenant and my landlord pulled that shit on me, I'd grab the closest solid object next to my bed (most likely my arse-dildo) and beat him with it. But for some reason, the tenant didn't resist and obeyed the landlord's request. I don't know if the tenant enjoyed being dominated or whether he was just completely oblivious to his rights. I'm also unsure about which party is more in need of psychiatric attention.
I asked my friend if the tenant sucked his cock after handing over the money. It seemed like the obvious question.
This situation is almost as bizarre (and comical) as the tenant that wanted to know if it was acceptable for her landlord to go through her underwear draw *slaps forehead*.
The Landlord might have the right idea
After digesting the entire situation, I got thinking.
The landlord could genuinely be onto something good here. Wouldn't it be awesome if landlords were legally entitled to do the following if rent was overdue by 24 hours:
- Enter the property during the early hours
- Wake up the tenant
- Drive them to the cash point
- Leave the tenant to his/her own devices to get transport home
Tenant's Right To Live In Quiet Enjoyment
I may as well make this blog post somewhat educational.
For those unaware (which some clearly are), tenants are legally entitled to live in quiet enjoyment. That means, the tenant has the legal right to live in the property as his or her home. The Landlord must ask the tenant's permission before entering the premises, regardless of whether any terms have been breached!!

Any information I share is my unqualified opinion, and should never be construed as professional legal or financial advice. You should definitely get advice from a qualified professional for any legal or financial matters. For more information, please read my full disclaimer.

Why leaves change color
Fall is my favorite time of year. We have two blaze maple trees that turn a reddish-orange, and are simply stunning.
Karen Bennett is an extension forestry specialist at the University of New Hampshire. She says leaves are green due to chlorophyll production, which makes food for the tree. But as days become shorter and the nights longer, the tree is signaled it needs to prepare for winter. The leaves stop making chlorophyll and as it fades away, underlying yellow and orange pigments begin to take its place.
"These pigments are in a broad class called carotenoids. They're the same pigments that make carrots orange, bananas yellow," says Bennett. "There's one other really large group of pigments, and we call those anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are pigments that make blueberries blue, they make cranberries red. They're the reddish purplish kinds of pigments."
Bennett says the anthocyanins are different from the carotenoids in that they are usually not already in the leaf. They are only produced in autumn when sugars feed trees in the warmth of the day, and are trapped in the leaves during cool nights.
This means the key to a brilliant color show is autumn weather conditions.
"If we have warm, sunny days followed by cold, but not freezing nights, we tend to have our most colorful autumn. And that's because that's when the sugars get trapped in the leaves and they get turned into anthocyanins," she explains.
The quality of color can also be negatively affected by weather. Cloudy, windy, and rainy spells decrease the intensity of color by limiting the sugars available for anthocyanin production.
