For this month, I would like to write about Glaucoma. Many optometrists have become certified in treating Glaucoma. Current data tells us that we have over 2 million patients in the U.S. being treated for this disease.
Glaucoma accounts for over 10 million visits to their eye doctor each year. In terms of social security benefits, lost income tax revenues, and health care expenditures, the cost to the U.S. government is estimated to be over $1.5 billion annually. Glaucoma patients number more than 60 million patients worldwide and the Glaucoma market is currently estimated to be between $4.5 to $5 billion in the U.S., UE, and Japan alone.
Coming down the Pike: Man 01 Glaucoma Drug is the first new drug in the area in 20 years. This "First in Class Drub" treats intraocular Eye Pressure (IOP) with early tests indicating excellent results in normalizing IOP. This drug may also be effective in helping ease the symptoms associated with: Pediatric Glaucoma, AMD, & Cystic Kidney Disease. The pharmaceutical company that is working on this wonder drug is Q BioMed Inc. This innovative company has the jump on the competition with its focus on the 'Schlemms' Canal, which is responsible for 70-80% of fluid drainage in the eye. The Man 01 Glaucoma drug is the only drug to target the 'Schlemms' Canal.
Not all patients obtain their first prescription for eye drops, many do not regularly refill them, and some who have a bottle in hand do not use it with prescribed regularity. These problems are compounded by patients who run out of eye drops before their insurance plan allows them to obtain a refill and by the inability of others to safely hold a bottle half an inch over their eye and then successfully squeeze it to deliver medication to the cornea, sclera, or conjunctiva.
For all these reasons and more contribute to our patients poor adherence to drug therapy . Compliance can become a huge issue with our patients. As practitioners who have elected to treat these group of patients, we have to be cognizant of these issue's. Studies are underway to replace the topical delivery system of eye drops. Punctal plugs, annular scleral rings, and contact lenses are under investigation as is intracameral delivery, a subconjunctival injection of IOP lowering drugs has been tested in the past, and preclinical studies are currently underway. Drug delivery systems lasting for 6 months seem to be within reach.
A third option is to abandon topical drug system altogether by using nonmedical means to lower IOP. Laser trabeculoplasty has been around for decades, has a great safety profile and definitely eliminates some of the issues of adherence. Unfortunately, trabeculoplasty often does not lower IOP enough to eliminate the need for eye drops, and even when it does, many of those patients will still eventually need to resume topical eye drop therapy.
ROI: Today's practitioners are faced with the high cost of the available high tech equipment. i.e.: In our practice, we decided to upgrade our OCT and found ourselves staring at a $100,000 invoice. The unit which we replaced was purchased just 5 years ago. The newer unit had all the bells and whistles that we desired to have. Technology changes quickly these days. We also upgraded our 15 year old Visual Field machine. The older unit was performing perfectly but we wanted a faster unit. Our doctors are fully aware that the ROI is not a good investment. However, we all feel in our practice that the two instruments which we purchased works hand in hand with each other in helping to diagnose Glaucoma suspects and to periodically check their progression. We don't want our patients under our care to lose vision. We have had 3 OCT units in our practice over the last 23 years. Each unit provides faster and more detailed information on the status of RNFL loss occurring in our patients.
Fundus camera: Having a good fundus camera is essential as this is where it all begins in our practice. We are on our 3 rd fundus camera during the past 23 years as well. Whenever one of our doctors suspects glaucoma then they can ask for a 3D picture for further evaluation. Our clinic is equipped with all the latest gadgets necessary to treat and monitor glaucoma patients.
Glaucoma may be divided into various subsets, and each patient is an individual. For these reasons, the treatment protocol for each patients varies from patient to patient.
Side Effects: For those practitioner who treat glaucoma, we have to be prepared for side effects associated with topical drug therapy. Maximal medical therapy refers to the most a patient can tolerate. Our patients who are on topical drug therapy have a choice of 5 categories of topical med's from which to choose : beta blockers, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, a-agonists, prostaglandin analogues and cholinergics. When I was in the military some 50 years ago, the only drugs that we had was epinephrine and pilocarpine.
Unfortunately most of med's carry side effects-systemic. Neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular. One drop of timolol 0.5% significantly decreases pulse rate and exercise tolerance. Brimonidine can induce psychosis.
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors can decrease libido, a side effect most likely attributable to malaise and depression.
I adivse my patients to use the techniques of eyelid closure and nasolacrimal duct obstruction when administering topical med's to help reduce the systemic side effects of malaise and depression.
When prescribing topical B-blockers, it is important to consider patients other systemic med's. The latter's effects can be compounding in patients taking topical b-blockers with systemic b-blockers. Those taking antipsychotics can develop increased serum levels of the drugs when taking topical ophthalmic b-blockers.
Lifestyle: Patients wearing contact lenses may not wish to take topical med's. For those patients, I will prescribe one daily dosing of PGA's or B-blockers or both.
Other patients may not be able to instill the eye drops and for those patients, I refer them to our local OMD clinic fpr SLT filtering surgery.
DRY EYE: Most topical med's contain a preservative known as BAK which is known to cause dry eye disease by causing inflammation and cellular damage. If one of my patients cannot tolerate topical med's then they are referred out for some type of filtering surgery.
The tolerability of the topical med's depends on the patient. Treatment must be tailored to his or her lifestyle, financial situation, combo-drugs and ability to tolerate side effects. Patients always have options and it is our job to educate them in order to help them make an informed decision on their medical care.

Shieldbreaker, what the feck does ", and can never wound on to-wound rolls better than 3+" mean?
I've thought about it probably too much, and got all twisted around in my head
that even if you have Str 8 and your opponent has Res 2, you still wound on 3+, not the usual 2+
(that's how i read it, at least)
or other special affects/abilities/w/e
Cheers guys. I thought it could mean that if the Str/Res difference meant I was rolling on a 2+ that I just couldn't wound them at all
Ha! I see what happened there but it wouldn't make any sense this way
I finally get what you understood, and it's seems legit
maybe you should post in the error thread should be "can never wound better than 3+" done
anybody up to introduce a noob to UB?
Bugman .... oh Buuuuugman ...... we can heeeeaaaar you ...
My foster mum is refusing to buy me the new Seraphon Battleforce ... is there any way I can waiver my adoption?
come on, lad, don't be daft. you'll need a more pressing reason to waive your adoption than a *Battleforce*. ask her if she'll buy you at least a *Squad*. if she refuses that one too, then alright - we'll take action.
UB2 dead?
Thanks, piteglio x
i got your back! let us know how the negotiation goes. and (in case) i know a guy who sells the best chainsaws ever.

Client Testimonials

Our Defense Strategy
Victory requires a game plan, and we've got an aggressive one.
Being charged with marijuana possession puts you at risk of jail time as well as other penalties. This type of drug crime is generally charged as a misdemeanor offense, rather than a felony like other more serious drug offenses. Marijuana possession can be charged as a felony; however, if there is a significant amount found in possession. The distinction between misdemeanor and felony marijuana possession is dependent on if it is under the amount considered for personal use, as found in Fl. Stat. Ann. § 893.13(6)(b). If the amount in possession is above 20 grams, the offense is increased to a third degree felony, as discussed in Fl. Stat. Ann. § 893.13(2)(a). If you are facing any type of marijuana possession charges, team up with an aggressive drug crime defense lawyer in Boca Raton. I am
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so feel free to
call me right away.
The consequences that follow this type of offense can vary depending on if the amount in possession is deemed for personal use or for sale. Both offenses may result in jail time, but for different lengths of time. Here is the breakdown of penalties that are on the line in your case:
Possession of 20 grams or less (misdemeanor):
Possession of more than 20 grams (felony):
Possession of less than 25 plants (felony):
Possession of 25 plants or more (felony):
If you have further questions or concerns about the specific laws regarding marijuana possession, you can look into Fl. Stat. Ann. § 893.13 or feel free to contact my firm and I can help. To avoid the serious penalties listed above, you need to obtain experienced and aggressive drug crime defense right away.
The Law Offices of Richard Tendler has taken on innumerable marijuana possession cases and the defenses made are tailored to fit the unique facts of each new case. After thorough investigation, there are several potential defenses that can be used to fight against your possession of marijuana charges. Some of the possible defenses include:
Even if it seems like the evidence in the case is pointing against you, there may be the possibility of reduced charges and/or penalties. We can also help you look into plea bargains or other ways of avoiding a serious drug crime conviction.
I have 15 years of experience assisting the criminally accused in Boca Raton and the West Palm Beach area and I can help. I know the ins and outs of marijuana possession cases and have had extensive success in assisting clients with their defense. Get started with your case today by contacting my firm or you can fill out a
case evaluation form and I will contact you after reviewing the form. I ensure you that I protect the rights of my clients and my tactical and tailored criminal defense approach is proven and effective.

Under proposals unveiled on Tuesday, the division partially addressed the issue by requiring for-revenue colleges to launch knowledge to students on graduation and job placement rates.
Trust nobody and watch your back. Crazy bitches in their compliance division who think their $hit don't stink. Nothing however a bunch of prim a-donas who suppose they're above the legislation and like to stab one another within the again. Angelia is without doubt one of the people to watch out for as she loves to stick it to her manager when she not looking. Degrading, self-deprecating and intensely judgmental.
Langer and Linda Kobert, a founder of the nonprofit advocacy group Fund Education Now, argue that the state has not finished enough to ensure that the fast progress is made. Anyone smart enough to do research earlier than signing kinds will have your articles outlining all the problems, tips, scams, and hassles, which is able to steer them in one other route. Many training stocks rose on Thursday after reviews that some Democrats opposed the proposed gainful employment rule.
The Education Department issued on June 15 a sequence of other rules that required the schools to provide prospective students their graduation and job placement charges. The schools are often aimed at decrease-income or minority students. Cheryl Etters, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Education, mentioned the plan calls for every scholar group to shut 50 {296c6b4f74ab1a85f312b9572e3e1efe6433a9beaf57bc5fe092a1007bfe21db} of its proficiency hole inside five years, and to grow to be absolutely proficient within 10 years. I completed the Bachelor's of Science in Information Technology program with the University of Phoenix Online in July 2008 and as of June 2010, I am nonetheless unemployed.
The foremost campus of the University of Phoenix, the most important for-revenue institution within the United States, has an estimated loan reimbursement rate of forty four {296c6b4f74ab1a85f312b9572e3e1efe6433a9beaf57bc5fe092a1007bfe21db}, in response to the department's calculations. That means it's close to assembly a proposed federal threshold of 45 p.c repayment to be fully eligible for federal support.

Adam Davis of DHM Research will speak about the possible 2016 ballot measures. A good number of ballot measures have already been submitted to the Secretary of State and many may qualify for the November 2016 election. Subjects range from raising the minimum wage to eliminating the estate tax and even include redistributing lottery funds. Predicting how Oregonians will respond to these measures is more easily done when examining the values and beliefs of a broad range of citizens. Adam Davis is uniquely qualified to provide this insight as he conducted the 2013 Oregon Values and Belief Survey as well as several follow up surveys.

The UN Security Council is meeting in an emergency session amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula and a North Korean warning of a "catastrophe" if South Korea goes ahead with a live-fire drill.
Russia called for the meeting, and Moscow wants the UN's most powerful body to adopt a statement calling on North Korea and South Korea "to exercise maximum restraint".
The North has warned of "catastrophe" if the South goes ahead with plans to conduct one-day, live-fire drills by Tuesday on the same front-line island the North shelled last month as the South conducted a similar exercise.
A draft presidential statement circulated by Russia to council members also stresses the need for efforts "to ensure a de-escalation of tension" between the two Koreas and a "resumption of dialogue and resolution of all problems dividing them exclusively through peaceful diplomatic means".
It asks Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon immediately to send an envoy to both countries "to consult on urgent measures to settle peacefully the current crisis situation in the Korean Peninsula".
The council began meeting behind closed doors and heard a briefing from UN political chief B. Lynn Pascoe on the situation in the Koreas.
Pascoe echoed Ban's remarks on Friday when the secretary-general called the November 23 North Korean attack on the tiny island of Yeonpyeong "one of the gravest provocations since the end of (the) Korean War" in 1953, according to a council diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because the consultations are closed.

People like to root for the underdog. Our heroes are the rebellion raging against the empire. A small band of heroes taking on an army. It's hard to tell a compelling story about the guys with all the power keeping down small threats.
That was the flaw in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season one.
For the first 16 episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. the team went on adventures to different parts of the world to deal with relatively unconnected missions. There was drama, but there wasn't much of a sign that the show would become one cohesive whole.
Then Captain America: The Winter Soldier came out. Now, when S.H.I.E.L.D. crossed over with Thor: The Dark World it really didn't. Sure, there were Asgardians, but no element of the movie affected the show. But The Winter Soldier ended with S.H.I.E.L.D. being shut down because it had been taken over by HYDRA.
The stakes were raised, to say the least, and the show delivered a string of episodes that (mostly) brought the whole season together. It was an exciting time to be a fan of the show because the characters were turned into the underdogs. That's a status quo the series has largely kept to for the following seasons.
Season 2 ran with the S.H.I.E.L.D. vs Hydra story, but knew that the super-spy series needed more super powers in it. The MCU couldn't use mutants, so S.H.I.E.L.D. revealed the Inhumans. The back half of the season became about figuring out how they move forward with more superhumans running around than they knew of, and they're all organized. Aside from almost forgetting to tie into Avengers: Age of Ultron, that season ended with terrigen crystals getting into the worldwide food supply and S.H.I.E.L.D. becoming the Inhumans police.
Season 3 was a pretty good X-Men show with extra spy fun. Of course they spent the first half of the season fighting Hydra again, though this time led by their old friend Ward. They're like cockroaches that Hydra, though they are up front about it. "Cut off one head, two more take its place" is the catchphrase after all. Plus they revealed that the jerk world security council member from The Avengers, the one that wanted to nuke New York City, was actually Hydra all along. So that's fun!
The season took an odd turn when Hydra brought Hive, the Inhuman that Hydra's been worshiping for centuries, to Earth. Maybe I prefer my Hydra to be Nazis and not ancient cults but I wasn't a fan. Also they killed Ward. Ward! Either way, they beat the bad guy, a team member died, and we were treated to a time jump of several months. Which is how we come to season 4.
You're probably starting to figure out how this works now. Around season two the series started breaking its season into two wholly separate arcs. At that point this was probably necessitated by the long break Agent Carter forced into the series, but it also made the writers tell concise stories that were stronger for it. S.H.I.E.L.D. vs Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. vs Inhumans, S.H.I.E.L.D. vs Ward, S.H.I.E.L.D. vs Hive. But in season 4 they made this explicit by giving the series a fun subtitle for each arc. That first arc was Ghost Rider.This was the first time SHIELD could really get their hands on an iconic Marvel character and shape them as their own. Smartly, they chose to skip Johnny Blaze and instead introduce Robbie Reyes as their Ghost Rider. They told a simple revenge tale with extra magic fun, but they still kept that magic in the Marvel mold of, "this is all super science from a certain perspective." Most important of all though, Ghost Rider looked great on a TV budget.But the Ghost Rider arc also happened at the same time as S.H.I.E.L.D. stepping out of the shadows and becoming a real US intelligence organization again. The fear was that S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't be underdogs anymore. Well the show solved that issue in the second arc of the season; LMD.Waaaay back in season 1, when the Hydra reveal happened, it was seismic because we didn't know who we could trust anymore. We didn't know who was Hydra and who was S.H.I.E.L.D. Now the show has managed to put the audience back in that head-space in a completely new way. First there was one LMD ( an android or Life Model Decoy), Aida, who appeared to go rogue. She was easy to fight because the team could identify her easily. But then the evil scientist who made the LMDs started copying members of the team. First Melinda May, and then four core team members at once to infiltrate the S.H.I.E.L.D. base. That episode aired last night and it was, no lie, one of the best the series has ever put out.
The team couldn't trust anyone, leading to some great standoffs, Daisy had one of the best fights of her career–
–and LMD May had a crisis of faith over whether or not she's truly alive. Then the whole thing ended with a small band of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on the run. They are the underdogs once again, leading us into the the third arc for this season. Plugging their minds into the Framework, a matrix-like simulation of the world where their friends' real minds are being stored.
This season has been killing it, turning in one consistently great episode after another, which is not something every superhero show can say. I am on record saying I would stop watching this show after season 3, but I am really glad I did not keep that promise.
I'll leave you where the show left me, an introduction to the Framework:

San Jose Giving Marlet A Try

- Steve Marlet, Summer Transfers
I'm sure you Chicago fans will recall the name, Steve Marlet from your preseason updates. Turns out the 34-year-old former French international is on trial with San Jose for the time being. Jeff Carlisle is reporting that the Quakes are bring in different players from week to week and Marlet is currently in camp hoping to break in to the MLS after failing to do so in Chicago earlier this year.
I don't really recall the reasonings for why Marlet didn't work out in Chicago. I believe it was a mixture of injuries on his part and the club being some what loaded at his position in the midfield. He spent part of the just-concluded French league season with Ligue 1 side Lorient but was released before the end of the campaign.
If things work out he would be another solid veteran player on the Quakes' roster. Adding a playmaker in the middle is what this club really needs right now. They've lacked a certain creative juice in most of their matches and its possible Marlet could provide that. Time will tell though as this trial is just mostly an evaluation of what San Jose wants to do this summer. They are expected to add two players according to Carlisle.
San Jose is also giving another striker a trial, this time with 23-year old Chris Sanders. He spent the last year playing for the second team of FC Nurnberg, otherwise known as FC Nurnberg II in part of the fourth tier of German soccer.
The kid sounds like a total prospect to me. Who knows if he will really pan out for the Quakes as he hasn't played much since the winter. His contract with Nurnberg runs out at the beginning of July.
Its trial season folks, expect more clubs to be giving random players a chance here. I wouldn't expect a whole lot out of most of them though but they are worth mentioning.

Frijoles Refritos,,,, yum yum!
So, if you want something that "hits the spot", then try making some Frijoles Refritos, you (and your family) wont be sorry!
Now hows this for easy, you don't even have to soak the beans!
1lb bag of pintos, picked over and rinsed
6c water
Put the beans and the water in a medium to large sauce pan and bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 +1/2 to 3 hours, until the beans are very tender. (to test, cool a bean then place on your tongue, if you can "mash" it against the roof of your mouth they are ready) During the cooking time, if the beans start to dry out add just a tad bit of water, but not to much, I don't like to drain them after cooking, no sense losing any minerals!
Now let them cool for a while, just set them on the back of the stove and get on with your other chores or cooking, maybe even try your hand at making your own flout tortilla's!
After they have cooled, if you like extra creamy beans like I do, place the beans and their liquid in a food processor, and season to your taste. Purist's can put in only a teaspoon or two of minced garlic and a couple of teaspoons of salt. I like to add a tablespoon or so of chili powder, a liberal sprinkling of garlic powder and salt. Its totally up to you and your taste buds! Now after they have gone for a nice long wizz through the processor with the spices, you can either "re-fry" them immediately, or put them in a covered dish and store in the fridge for quick lunches and snacks. I havent tried freezing them, but I'm sure they would freeze well in a covered plastic container. We use them up within a few days, we are both bean lovers!

What a great recipe and so economical. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
You're welcome Alana:)ReplyDelete
You go girl. I had to learn to make refriend beans we were first married because we were so broke it was no joke and we lived in Vancouver where refriend beans could cost you close to four dollars, and this was nearly ten years ago!! Nuts. Now i confess that these days I often buy a can of canned whole pinto beans (which I can get for like 70 cents) and take it from there, but I do sometimes make them all the way from scratch. Now youve made me hungry for burritos! :)ReplyDelete
$4,,, WOW! I do like keeping a few cans of beans in my pantry, they are great for things like salads or bean burgers, but I try to cook dried ones as much as I can. I lie that for around a dollar I can get up to four times the amount of beans, and I know exactly whats in them:) Plus, dried beans stay edible for almost ever, lol!ReplyDelete
This looks amazing! I've never tried my hand at much Mexican type foods but I think that my kids would enjoy them. I'll tuck this away for a nice cool weather recipe!ReplyDelete

Jessica Chastain Gives Her Ideas for a Possible 'Mama' Sequel!
Jessica Chastain goes for a stroll around town in a full black outfit on Thursday afternoon (August 28) in New York City.
The two-time Oscar-nominated actress was the star of the surprise hit horror film Mama and there has been some talk of a sequel, which she apparently hasn't heard about!
Jessica was asked about the possibility of a sequel by We Got This Covered and while she didn't know about anything happening, she threw around an idea.
"Mama 2? Really? When I was shooting the movie I was actually pitching ideas for the sequel. [Laughs] I was like, 'We could have this ghost…' – but no one has ever gotten back to me," Jessica said.

We're also very pleased to announce that Labfolder see us as a great addition to their feature suite and have created a brand-new integration, enabling you to take your research from lab book straight through to the cloud.
While most research data are produced in a digital format, scientists still use their lab notebooks for their notes and comments to link pieces of data and to embed them in a larger context.
Instead of using a paper notebook, labfolder allows you to capture research data and notes on workstations and mobile devices across all platforms. With the figshare integration, you are now able to use the following features:
Access the public repository of figshare to download protocols, technical descriptions and datasets and use them right in your experimental planning
Upload your digital lab notebook to figshare to store it together with your raw data
Share your research notes publically on figshare to increase the impact of your research
See how it works with a video here
Publishers already offer platforms for the publication of datasets, like Nature´s Scientific Data and Elsevier´s Article of the Future. With figshare being one of the repositories where the data can be stored for publication, the labfolder integration will further be developed to allow a facilitated upload in structured formats to comply with the specifications and requirements of data platforms.
figshare and labfolder both believe that the future of scientific communication is in data exchange. With the integration of our services, we have made another step towards this future.

Someone asked me about laser printer consumables, specifically toner vs drum unit. That's a fair question. The drum unit is the gotcha consumable that people sometimes forget about.

Beware the Black Friday electronics
Ars Technica ran an aptly timed article today called How to talk your family out of bad consumer electronics purchases. It's definitely worth a read, to steer you away from bad Black Friday electronics.
There's a great tip in the article. If a doorbuster item has a model number that isn't available the rest of the year, you don't want it. That's a good rule.
The best glue for paper models
If you're looking for the best glue for paper models, you've come to the right place. To build a paper model that lasts, use a pH-neutral PVA bookbinder's glue. My wife, who has a master's degree in art education, specifically recommended Books by Hand PVA Adhesive. Although it looks and smells and feels like regular white glue, I find it does a better job of not warping the paper and not bubbling. And for longevity's sake, you want something that doesn't change the pH balance of your paper. Books by Hand glue is pH neutral.
I started building model structures with Books by Hand glue in 2004. Those miniature buildings still look like I built them yesterday. Read more
Barnes & Noble punches back
Slashdot accuses the new Nook HD and HD+ of punching above their weight.
Now, granted, B&N has an uphill fight. But to me, there are several compelling things about these new devices. Maybe these devices don't have what that particular contributor seeks, but to date, there's still no one-size-fits-all tablet.
3D printing hits $500
The Solidoodle is the first fully assembled 3D printer to hit the magic $500 price point.
Nobody has reviewed one yet, and the device makes some significant compromises in order to get to that price point. Given that, I won't be among the first to buy one. I'll reserve that decision for a time when we know what it can and can't do. But if we look at history, that $500 milestone is important.
Expect your HP printer to get 0wnz0r3d shortly
Courtesy of Dan Bowman: You may have seen the brief writeup on Slashdot about how to set printers on fire by messing with the fuser, but in Germany next month there's going to be a security engineer's nightmare unleashed, courtesy of the HP printer that's probably sitting a few feet outside your cubicle and mine.
And there's a whole lot more to it than just messing with the fuser in hopes of killing a printer or (perhaps) starting a fire. There's a lot more to a printer than toner and a fuser. As the link above says, a printer contains an embedded Linux or Vxworks system that's trivially easy to install a rootkit on and that nobody's paying attention to. Seriously, who watches traffic coming from the printer?
The possibilities are endless.

How I shop on Black Friday
Tonight I was getting my hair cut, and the stylist asked if I shop on Black Friday. I said I have in the past, but probably will sit this year out. She asked what it's like, especially in light of the trampling incidents in recent years. I said it can get kind of crazy, but it's bearable with a plan. Here's how I shop on Black Friday.
RIP, Steve Jobs
Though I'm sure you've seen it hundreds of other places, the tech industry lost its most memorable pioneer and greatest marketer today. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died, aged 56, after years of declining health. Read more
Buy online, manufacture at home
The way we buy things (or don't buy them) has changed a lot in the last decade or so. We stopped buying CDs. Now that our Internet connections are fast enough, we've really slowed down on buying movies, too. And the emergence of practical e-readers means a lot fewer people are buying books now too. All of this is part of the reason why there's probably a Borders closing near you, and there are suddenly a lot less of what we used to call record stores too.
But there's something even bigger looming overhead. 3D printing. Ars Technica has a piece about its legal implications. Rather than rehash that, I'd rather talk about some of its other implications, including why you should care at all.
Color laser vs. inkjet: The hidden factor
Ars Technica did a quick and dirty study on whether inkjets or lasers are more cost effective for color printing and came down in favor of the inkjet. The math works in their color laser vs. inkjet battle, but it misses something non-trivial. Ink cartridges dry out. Toner cartridges don't.
Here's why I use and recommend laser printers for color printing.

Holy crap! I don't know how this is possible, but I wrote more this week than any other week before!
This week from January 28 to February 3, 2007 I have written 11,023 words on Magic Pens and 894 words on paper. Together, this comes to be 11,917 words.
For reading, I finished reading the last 115 pages of Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen, and after reading the alternate ending for Hatchet it made me want to re-read Hatchet again. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it in my bookshelf, so I started reading the sequel, The River and have read the first 30 pages along with 30 pages of Romeo and Juliet.

Athletic shoes (and apparel) retailer Foot Locker has just posted its biggest stock decline since the last recessions on the heels of recent outlook which has renewed bogs of concern that the industry's growth will not return.
As such, shares of the chain fell as much as 26 percent when news that recent results were weaker than analysts had expected—and weaker by nearly every benchmark. Second-quarter adjusted earnings per share, the company lists, hit 62 cents on revenue of $1.701 billion. Wall Street analysts had originally predicted the company to reach 90 cents per share on revenue of $1.8 billion. In addition, though, Foot Locker forecast that sales will continue the downward climb through the rest of the year. Sales at stores open for at least a year—one of the most (if not the most) important metrics of store growth—are expected to register down 4 percent.
Foot Locker blames the fall in sales on picky customers who seem to be no longer impressed by the latest high-end athletic shoes.
All in all, then, Foot Locker shares were trading at $35.94 on Friday morning, which is down $11.76.
Foot Locker CEO Richard Johnson comments, "Our team is working quickly to adjust our operations to a changed retail landscape in which we are seeing our consumers move faster than ever from one source of inspiration or influence to another."
He also made it known they were pledging to work with the shoe makers to get ahead of trends more efficiently as well as to rethink capital expenditures and to cut overhead.
Johnson goes on to say, "Sales of some recent top styles fell well short of our expectations and impacted this quarter's results. At the same time, we were affected by the limited availability of innovative new products in the market. We believe these industry dynamics will persist through 2017."
In delivering the earnings, Foot Locker's Johnson said "some recent top styles fell well short of expectations and impacted this quarter's results." He also cited a lack of "innovative new products."
"We are obviously disappointed in the results for the quarter," Johnson said. "Our team is working quickly to adjust our operations to a changed retail landscape in which we are seeing our consumers move faster than ever from one source of inspiration or influence to another."

Pride banner was rude, crude - but how does it warrant an investigation by the police?
You don't have to like the language, says Fionola Meredith, but we must all support free speech
It's amazing, in a society that remains riddled with all sorts of paramilitary lawlessness - extortion, drug dealing, punishment attacks, forcing families out of their homes - that the police found time last week to knock on the door of 24-year-old Ellie Evans and ask her to come in for questioning.
What terrible thing had the young woman done? She had carried a homemade placard at this year's Belfast Pride parade on which she had crudely written, in rainbow-coloured felt-tip, 'F*** the DUP', in protest against the party's stance on LGBT rights.
Nobody, including Evans herself, is denying that the word she used is highly offensive to many people. But you don't have to like what Evans wrote in order to believe that the PSNI is guilty of a massive overreaction by calling her in to account for her actions and setting up an investigation, which remains ongoing.
I'm not surprised that the young woman found the experience intimidating, and she believes that the police intended it to be so. Under what law are they investigating her? Do they follow up so assiduously when paramilitary thugs step outside the boundaries of polite behaviour?
The cops apparently acted after an intervention by DUP MLA Jim Wells, who seems to have a very loud and persistent bee in his bonnet when it comes to gay issues.
Wells made a complaint to the PSNI about the placard, and rather oddly claimed that "there's absolutely no place for that type of language to be aimed at Northern Ireland's largest political party", as though sheer electoral bulk was a natural defence against rude words.
The largest political party itself subsequently released a statement saying that "this complaint was not submitted by the DUP", which I took to mean that Jim was buzzing away by himself on this one.
Why have the police come plodding heavy-footed to Ellie Evans' door now? Let's not forget that the event in question happened more than two months ago. And Evans didn't actually carry the placard for the duration of the parade. Pride organisers confiscated the sign from her on the grounds that it did not "promote reasoned debate" and "breached the Parades Commission guidelines".
Evans wasn't happy about the situation: she had previously carried a similar sign at the London Pride parade without any bother, and she claimed that the Belfast parade officials "ripped" the placard out of her hands.
But Belfast is far, far away from London politically and culturally as much as geographically, and I can understand why the local Pride organisers, perhaps wary of giving ammunition to their enemies, rushed in to whisk away her sign.
As Belfast Pride chair Sean O'Neill pointed out at the time: "We have more legal restrictions on our parade than any other Pride in Western Europe and yet LGBT people here currently have fewer rights than in any other jurisdiction in Western Europe."
It's true that Evans' message was pretty crude and childish. It clearly wasn't an attempt to engage in reasoned debate. It was a howl of rage against a powerful political party with whose policies she vehemently disagrees. But was it a hate crime? Of course not. It would be absurd, as well as draconian and highly intolerant, to portray a mild act of protest against a political party such as carrying a banner - however offensive the word on it - as a prosecutable offence.
For a start, the DUP is not a protected group under the law, so the term 'hate crime' is irrelevant. But let's not get overly legalistic about this. The point is that freedom of expression, not the right not to be offended, is what all of us should be standing up for here, including those in the DUP - and I do hope they exist - who understand the need to protect that most precious, vital liberty. It truly is in all our interests, whether we're gay or straight, religious or non-religious.
This is why it's never a good idea to try to silence your opponents, however justified you may feel. As Ira Glasser, former director of the American Civil Liberties Union, points out: "Speech bans are like poison gas: seems like a good idea when you have your target in sight - but the wind shifts and blows it back on us."
Hatred has become a dirty word, seen as something to be feared and repudiated and avoided at all costs. But freedom of expression has to include the freedom to express hatred of things we passionately disagree with, without the police popping round to pay us a not-so-friendly visit.

At a very young age, I felt the shame of my mom's problem with alcohol. It was the secret we kept within the walls of our home. So all of us, my mom included, lived with a giant gorilla in our home.
This is 2015, and millions of people are in recovery from a seemingly hopeless disease. More of us have the courage to openly talk about it without shame or the fear of being judged, and if we are; I say so be it. But the stigma associated with addiction still exists.
The month of September is ours....National Recovery Month. Created by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 26 years ago, there are walks, runs, town meetings, rides and events like the Art of Recovery Expo. (www.recoverymonth.gov).
We aren't bad people, we are sick people when active in our addictions. Anyone who has struggled and survived are the lucky ones, we made it out of the abyss alive.
I'm blessed and fortunate to be associated with the recovery movement taking place across our nation. I want to stand alongside and walk forward with those who believe there are many options and ways to treat this disease.
Together, we must continue to encourage our friends, families, communities and leaders to start conversations about the prevention, treatment, and recovery of behavioral health conditions at any stage of life.
Many of the successes of recovery often go unnoticed by the broader population; Recovery Month provides a vehicle for everyone to celebrate these accomplishments. In doing so, we help to increase awareness and a greater understanding about the diseases of mental and substance use disorders.

Working in the careers space, I am often asked what piece of advice I'd give my younger self.
Social action helps people to give back to the community and will enhance your job applications, whether you have interned before or are entering the workplace for the first time.
Read on for tips to help you find the right volunteer network and determine which volunteering opportunity is a good fit for you.
Look within
There is an old adage that you are the sum of the 4 people you spend the most time with – so talk to your parents, friends and peers. One of the best ways to determine what type of volunteering is right for you is to learn from the people around you.
Ask questions: Determine what and who inspires you. This will help you to better understand what motivates you. Once you find your 'why', identify opportunities that align with your values and have confidence in building the most important brand: you.
Deliberating between multiple organisations or opportunities?
The UTS SOUL Award provides opportunities for you to skill up and get active in the community. The award equips you with leadership and community development skills to enable you to create a positive impact. Meanwhile, you will build your network whilst applying the skills you have developed at university. Check out their website and Facebook page to find out more.
Volunteering Australia and Go Volunteer provide volunteering opportunities, information and community events across Sydney and NSW. Consider what you can offer that's valuable, what your passion is and how much time you can give to one of these opportunities and start giving back today.
Going global
BUiLD at UTS (Beyond UTS International Leadership Development), is a leadership program for UTS students. By providing opportunities to travel overseas to participate in conferences, internships or community volunteer projects you will develop valuable leadership skills and stories to take with you on your career journey. Interested in volunteering overseas? Read more at the BUiLD abroad blog.
Next steps:
- Browse volunteering opportunities on CareerHub and the resources above: this will help you understand what interests you and compile a list of roles to apply to.
- Research volunteering opportunities here at UTS – there are over 100 clubs on campus (top tip: AIESEC UTS or Roteract could be a good place to start).
- Visit drop-in to have your resume and/or cover letter reviewed before applying.
If you are interested in social justice and keen to meet volunteer organisations, follow us on Facebook. It's a great way to find out more about opportunities to connect with organisations on campus, such as Perfect Match event or Internships and Volunteering Fair taking place later this year.
