U.S. Supreme Court approves elimination of right to petition for habeas corpus, right to have witnesses at trial, and other Constitutional rights in Cook County
Today the U.S. Supreme Court denied my motion for rehearing of a petition for writ of mandamus against the Cook County Circuit Court, U.S. Supreme Court case number 11-10814, and Dishonorable Judge Peggy Chiampas. Therefore they have approved the following criminal acts done by Judge Chiampas which amount to violation of her oath of office and therefore acts of treason per U.S. Supreme Court case law and gross misconduct of a judge, as well as criminal acts of corrupt Sheriff staff including Assistant Chief William J. Nolan. When the high court refuses to hear a case, this act therefore upholds the acts of the court below that made the rulings which the litigant is challenging in the high court.
There is no legal right to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court or even the Illinois Supreme Court. The courts changed this right to by permission only. Even though the high court is the supervisor of all courts in the land, they are not required to do so. Therefore, in order to limit their cases to no more than about 80 per year out of about 6,000 to 8,000 submitted they ignore many cases where laws and the constitution are violated by police, lower courts, and officials.
American justice is therefore a myth.
If, as in Illinois the appellate court is corrupt and controlled by the corrupt officials then anyone who criticizes judges, police, or public officials will be made to lose their case regardless of the law. Any lawyer who supports them will have a difficult time making a living in Cook County. In Cook County the courts including the IL Appellate Court and the Federal District Court and 7th Circuit Court's Chief judges as well as many other judges, and also the state's attorney, U.S. Attorney, FBI Chicago Director and the Sheriff are controlled by a cabal of corrupt Democratic and Republican officials. These officials include:
1) the former Gov. of IL Jim Thompson who was also Director of the U.S. CIA oversight committee under Pres Bush I and a member of the 911 Commission under Pres Bush II, as well as the top corrupt official in the cabal;
2) IL Supreme Court Justice Ann Burke and her husband Chicago Alderman Burke – who requires that judicial candidates pay the machine $10,000 in order to guarantee their election by buying signs to post on property of state employees from the Sheriff's and Secretary of State's offices – thus forcing lawyers to contribute to the judges election campaign committee; forcing state, county and city employees in order to get promotions or keep supervisory positions or even keep a job to sell a certain number of fundraising tickets for election campaign committees; and ensuring that all contracts for government work include a bribe of 15 % of the amount the company earns into the campaign election committees for officials like Speaker of the House Michael Madigan and his daughter IL Atty Gen Lisa Madigan (who with two years in the peace corps and a few years as a State Senator certainly was NOT qualified to be the IL AG);
3)the Daley brothers – John a Cook County Board member who actually controls the County no matter who is the President of the Board, previously his brother Richard who was Mayor of Chicago, and their other brother who is Midwest Director of Chase Bank and that is why they now have the State contracts for processing property tax checks.
The cabal is now preparing to have Lisa Madigan run for Governor vs. the Daley brother to run for Gov. so they can keep tight reigns on the State as well as the county and the city. All other ("inherited Lordships") elected positions in the Cook County Board, the City Council and State Government are controlled by the cabal so that only a handful of people run the State behind the scenes.
The agencies are controlled through their assistant directors who have been in their positions through several administrations and know the ropes and are controlled behind the scenes by Jim Thompson, the Burkes, the Daleys and other top dogs. They used to control things by taking out opponents with mafia operated machine guns. Now they take out opponents and whistle blowers with false criminal charges, defamation of character, and false allegations of mental illness.
The law firm of Vrdolyak and other mafia lawyers make sure everything is done right and none of these people can be directly tied to the corruption. For example, I was told through intermediaries that "if I paid $10,000 to Madigan (through their election campaign committee) then I could have a meeting with Michael Madigan and all my issues would be resolved. "Business" is conducted behind closed doors. I am being destroyed because of these blogs, my constant criticism and complaints about corrupt government over the past 10 years and my refusal to pay the bribe.
The machine is sort of like the story "Robin Hood", with Jim Thompson being the evil king, States Attorney Devine now Alvarez being the high cardinal executioner, Sheriff Sheahan now Dart (the one that arranged for Obama's election) being the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and enforcer of the evilo dictates of the King, and everyone else being an inherited Lordship that cow tows to the King's whim. In Cook County no one gets on the Democratic ballot without Burke's approval and Burke arranges for fake Republicans to run in a token manner. There essentially is no Republican party in Cook County any more.
Huge numbers of public employees in the Sheriff's Office, the Secretary of State's office and all state, county, and city offices are filled by relatives of elected and appointed officials. If the relatives pay their due into political campaign committees (which are also used to launder money from illegal activities) then they will get a steady job with a huge pension. That is partly why Illinois has one of the worst economies in the country with the highest pension debt! How Special! This system ensures a huge patronage army and is a system, along with the 15 % bribes required for government contracts that is called "pay-to-play". Most government employees are expected to contribute 3% of their salary to election campaign committees. If you want to trace the corruption, you need to trace the family names of elected and appointed officials, the money trail through their campaign committees and the law firms, agencies, and phony foundations that donate to the campaign committees.
This is why we need term limits, transparency of all actions of the state, county, and city comptroller and treasurer, and public oversight, as well as appointed and not elected judges, appointed not by government officials but by committees of experts with term limits such as law school professors with foundation directors and randomly picked members of the public with at least a college education. I don't believe our founding fathers understood how easy it would be to corrupt our government.
Please read about the following extensive felony criminal acts of Sheriff staff and judges against Dr. Linda Shelton in the following and here also as well as the criminal and unconstitutional acts of Dishonorable Judge Chiampas at the links in the end of this post:
1) Refusal for a court clerk to file or a presiding judge to hear a petition for writ of habeas corpus in a criminal case. This is the highest right a citizen has in the United States and this now has been eliminated in Cook County. (The right is found in the "Suspension Clause" of the United States Constitution) and the U.S. Supreme Court in a 2008 case called Boumedience v. Bush ruled that even prisoners at Guantanamo Bay have the right to have a non-attorney file a next-friend petition for writ of habeas corpus to have examined by a senior judge if they are being held legally with probable cause. Apparently they have these rights but I do not, nor does anyone who has been charged with a misdemeanor crime in Cook County!
2) Arrest of a defendant for getting sick in the courtroom. Refusal to write an order to force the Sheriff to allow an ill defendant to bring special food or drink into the courthouse or to be allowed to take necessary breaks during the trial, which are violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
3) Denial of speedy trial right under the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
4) Denial of right to compulsory process (Judge Chiampas refused to enforce my subpoenas for contact information from Court Clerk Dorothy Brown's office for her employees who were witnesses in my favor) under the Sixth Amendment.
5) Denial of right to call witnesses who can impeach the state witnesses, including Kent Law School Professor T. Coyne, who witnessed Judge McHale violated my civil rights and jail me for filing a next-friend habeas petition (a legal act allowed by statute), especially as I filed one in 2009 resulting in his appointment by Judge Biebel as an attorney for the defendant Maisha Hamilton, who also has been falsely arrested in order to cover-up the corruption she is a witness to in Cook County and Illinois government. If you defame witnesses, they are useless against you!
Prof. Daniel T. Coyne also is a witness to the fact that a social worker (Robinson) at the jail called me and asked me to pick up the property of an inmate that was transferred (six bags). I came but could only pick up three so I came back a few days later and the jail staff refused to give me the other bags and arrested me for insisting that they cannot keep them and steal them. I then asked Mr. Coyne to pick up Maisha Hamilton's other 3 bags of legal documents and he did. I then went and retrieved them from him.
Prof. Coyne, lied in the court today and told the judge that I didn't ask him to pick up the bags or come get them from him. He apparently is working with these corrupt judges to defame and destroy me. Judge Chiampas then barred him as a witness and indicated she was barring all my witnesses. None of them showed up – they are sheriff staff and court clerk staff and have ignored my subpoenas. So the Sixth Amendment guarantee of right to call witnesses no longer exists in C[r]ook County for defendants that the judges want to destroy.
6) Denial of right to have an unbiased judge (Judges orders are void if they fail to transfer a motion for substitution of judge for cause [bais] to another judge). Judge Chiampas refused to do this for more than 5 months, then a corrupt junior Judge Edward S. Harmening denied this motion despite the above facts that cause Judge Chiampas to clearly be revealed as biased and violating the constitution against me. He apparently had his marching orders. She then quashed my second motion for SOJ also and it has not been transferred to another judge.
7) Denial of right not to be arrested and tried without probable cause. The charges against me are not legally sufficient. I am charged with trespass to real property which does not apply in a public building and the charge said I entered the Daley Center after being given notice by the owner or occupant not to enter. Yet the documents say I refused to leave the Sheriff's office public waiting area where I went to complain that a clerk stole my personal court file. Therefore, the charge is not legal. Judge Chiampas is holding me for trial without probable cause a violation of the constitutiuon.
The second charge is disorderly conduct and again the charge is legally insufficient stating tthat I refused to leave the building. For a charge of disorderly conduct to be legal you have to claim the person disturbed the public order and name people who were doing something that was disturbed. They name no one so the charge is not legal and must be dismissed.
You can read more details about this in my U.S. Supreme Court pleadings at the end of this post.
Therefore, law does not apply in Cook County. The Constitution does not apply in Cook County. Judges are GOD in Cook County, can ignore law, make law, arrest you, convict you and jail you for doing legal things like asking for a supervisor at the Daley Center when a Sheriff staff member violates the law or complaining about harassment by corrupt officials or police. Police can arrest you without legal charges and get you jailed if they are mad that you are criticizing them or exposing their corrupt acts. Retaliation is encouraged. You have no rights in court in Cook County. Excessive bail is the norm so that the courts can rip off even innocent defendants. They keep 10 % of all bonds whether you are innocent or guilty no matter how large the bond, despite the fact it takes the same amount of work to process a $1 million bond (they keep $100,000 even if you are innocent) as it does a $100 bond (they keep $10).
The FBI, U.S. Attorney, State Police, Chicago Police, Chief Judge Timothy Evans, Presiding First Municipal District Judge E. Kenneth Wright Jr, Illinois Appellate Court, Illinois Supreme Court, Federal District Court, and now the U.S. Supreme Court condone the above. Therefore we live in a totalitarian police state and we have no recourse. The First Amendment right to redress of grievances no longer exists. U.S. Supreme Court rulings are toothless and the court refuses to enforce its orders or the Constitution.
This leaves us no choice but 1) suicide, 2) armed revolt (suicide by cop), 3) flee the country, or 4) kiss ass, shut up, do as your told and submit to the corruption while accepting crumbs. What will you choose when this happens to you?
I (Shelton) have appealed to the U.S. Attorney in Washington and several different divisions there, Congressment, Senators in Washington and Springfield, elite lawyers throughout the country, foundations including the ACLU, Constitution Society, etc., and hundreds of lawyers including the National Lawyer's Guild to no avail. Several told me that they were threatened that if they help me they won't have a job. Some told me the FBI has only 25 or so agents actually investigation government corruption throughout the country and they won't prosecute any case unless the government can collect at least $20 million and there are no more than 3 offenders. Top dogs suggest that to make changes requires the help of the press and change can only be done through the legislature or Congress. Since the cabal controls Springfield, change requires federal intervention. I don't know how much the Obama administration is beholding to the cabal but I do know that when Pres. Obama was a Senator he sat next to Lisa Madigan on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I believe to get real change we need several constitutional amendments including term limits and a rule that no more than a third of a body (house or senate) may include one profession such as lawyers. Right now the fox is watching the hen house.

Circuit Court of Cook County a Criminal Enterprise
Judge Maddux of the Circuit Court of Cook County Law Division runs his division as a criminal enterprise, denying First Amendment Right to Redress of Grievances, to indigent plaintiffs, if he doesn't like you, thinks you sue too much, or if you have filed suit against corrupt officials in Cook County or the State of Illinois. He uses the Sheriff's office as a goon squad to harass and falsely arrest those that complain about his scheme and unconstitutional conduct. He should be impeached.
Chief Judge Evans of the Circuit Court of Cook County condones his conduct as does the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Dorothy Brown. Dorothy Brown has announced she is running for the office of President of the Board of Cook County Commissioners. I cannot support her under the circumstances of her misconduct.
I call upon President Stroger to remove Judge Timothy Evans as Chief Judge and replace him with an honest person. He has been Chief Judge too long and is too corrupt to continue in this position. Rumor has it he also participates in pay-to-play demanding 10% contributions to the political fund "Friends of Madigan" for every contract he grants concerning the Circuit Court of Cook County. I also call on the FBI to investigate both Judge Evans and Judge Maddux for RICO violations and corruption.
I also urge voters in Cook County to never againt vote for the ineffective and corrupt Sheriff Dart or for Dorothy Brown. We need leaders with vision, honesty, integrity, who act as professionals, admit mistakes, recognize and correct problems agressively, and are willing to meet with members of the public to solve problems. Status quo is no longer good enough. Change is required from the top down, starting with Todd Stroger, Cook County Board President.

Judge Maddux Runs Law Division Cook County Court as Criminal Enterprise – Dr Linda Shelton Unlawfully Arrested
Circuit Court of Cook County Law Division Presiding Judge William Maddux blatantly violates constitutional rights of litigants and runs the Circuit Court of Cook County Law Division as a criminal enterprise to enrich the County of Cook Circuit Court Clerk's Office and Sheriff's Office. He requires indigent plaintiffs to pay-to-play in regards to enforcing their rights to redress of grievances by filing a suit. He illegally denies indigency petitions. He illegally orders his clerks to refuse to give the litigant a copy of the order granting or denying the indigency petition.
Chief Judge Timothy Evans, Sheriff Dart, and Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown participate in and condone this scheme. It appears that this scheme meets the definition of a criminal enterprise used in racketeering. This is a felony RICO violation.
Dr. Linda Shelton unlawfully arrested by A/C Nolan of the Cook County Sheriff's Office when she tried to get Sheriff to enforce her right to sue as an indigent person. Sheriff Dart and Court Clerk Dorothy Brown aiding and abetting, or participating in this RICO crime. This is racketeering to enrich a criminal enterprise – the Circuit Court of Cook County and the Cook County Sheriff's Office. This also illegally denies the right of citizens in Illinois to sue corrupt officials and police in C[r]ook County Illinois and Chicago.

Illinois Supreme Court Violates Statutes and Their Oaths of Office – Corruption at Its Best!
Illinois Supreme Court Upholds Judge Maddux's Blatant Violation of Law
On November 26, 2008 the Illinois Supreme Court in a Motion for Leave to File Complaint for Mandamus with attached Complaint for Mandamus denied Leave to file without explanation.
This means that the Illinois Supreme Court has publicly condoned Judge Maddux's violation of statutes that require a judge to grant a Petition for indigent status and waive filing fees for a tort (lawsuit) when a Plaintiff is indigent, as well as state specifically the reason that a petition for indigent status is denied.
See details of the illegal conduct and ruling by Judge Maddux in denying a Petition for Indigent Status. http://illinoiscorruption.blogspot.com/2008/10/crook-county-presiding-law-judge-maddux.html
In a similar case of a transgender person Ms. Daunn Turner in early 2008 the Illinois Supreme Court granted a complaint for mandamus when Will County Circuit Court Judge Stephen White denied Ms. Turner's Petition for Indigent Status solely because he stated that he will not allow the State to pay for her name change due to her sexual status. Ms. Turner was an accomplished individual who had become severely disabled and according to law therefore qualified for indigent status.
This upholding of blatant violation of statutes by J. Maddux is a disgrace upon the Illinois Supreme Court and reveals that corruption permiates the highest levels of the Courts in Illinois. These two issues were identical – failure of the judge and clerk to follow the law regarding indigent petitions. Yet the Court intervened on the Turner case and denied leave to file on the Shelton case. This is clear bias and failure to uphold the law. Clearly there is no justice and American Justice is a Myth when the Supreme Court of a State can blatantly violate clear cut statutes.
I will now take this to the U.S. Supreme Court for a supervisory order. They will probably deny review, thus condoning violation of statute and due process rights as well as violation of the First Amendment right to redress of grievances and access to the courts, as well as Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process.
Thus another example of [in]justice and the Myth of American Justice!

COOK COUNTY PRESIDING JUDGE OF THE LAW DIVISION WILLIAM D. MADDUX CONSISTENTLY AND PUPOSELY VIOLATES ILLINOIS STATUTES AND HIS OATH OF OFFICE IN DENYING PRO SE LITIGANTS' INDIGENT PETITIONS (IN FORMA PAUPERIS PETITIONS).
HE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE FOR HIS ARROGANT, TYRANICAL, ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL, AND ATROCIOUS CONDUCT THAT VIOLATES CITIZENS' FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES AND FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO DUE PROCESS.
Pro se litigants in Chicago who are indigent and file petitions for indigent status to waive filing and copying fees are routinely denied this status illegally by Presiding Law Division Judge Maddux because Judge Maddux wants to inhibit access to courts to whistle blowers, civil rights activists, those filing multiple legitimate suits pro se, and those who have spoken out against corruption in the courts, police, and among elected officials. The courts in C[r]ook County are extremely corrupt.
He never reads the pleadings. His law clerk simply writes "denied due to inability to sue in good faith".
Dorothy Brown, the court clerk refuses to accept complaints unless the judge approves an indigent petition or the plaintiff pays the filing fee.
The law REQUIRES that indigent status be granted if you can prove your assets are less than 125% of the poverty level and your complaint if not frivolous.
735 ILCS 5/5-105 [ILCS = Illinois Compiled Statutes]
"The clerk of the court shall not refuse to accept any complaint, appearance, or other paper presented by the applicant if accompanied by an application to sue or defend in forma pauperis, and those papers shall be considered filed on the date the application is presented."
There is no requirement that the complaint must be approved by the Judge as legitimate. Courts however do have the power to issue sanctions for frivolous repeated suits.
The actions of Judge Maddux and Dorothy Brown in denying access to the courts are clearly illegal.
I invite others to inform me of their similar difficulties and join in a mandamus complaint against Judge Maddux and Clerk Brown to force them to comply with the statutes and IL Supreme Court Rule 298.

There are lots of factors that determine when a woman experiences menopause including adrenal reserve and stress though perhaps the biggest determinant is your Mum or maternal Grandma's age at menopause. Most women will go through menopause around the time of Mum and Granny, give or take 2 years.
Some of the biggest clinical trials of conventional HRT have had to be stopped before completion due to significant and dangerous side effects, particularly endometrial cancer and deep vein thrombosis. Fortunately for women HRT drugs are no longer prescribed willy- nilly and are ideally given at the lowest dose possible for the shortest period possible, if at all.
Women with family history of cancer and clotting disorders often prefer to avoid HRT due to the increased risks it can carry.
Luckily for us, the plant world contains an abundance of safe and effective natural options.
Many women will experience mood changes, heavy and erratic periods and frequent spotting due to declining progesterone levels- our oestrogen is actually higher at this stage and affects the lining of the uterus, essentially becoming more fragile.
The next significant hormone shift is a decline in oestrogen causing general and vaginal dryness, insomnia, hot flushes and night sweats.
Testosterone levels (as a percentage) can increase at this stage resulting in unwanted hair growth.
Luteinising hormone, lesser known than oestrogen and progesterone is released every 90 minutes and is also associated with hot flushes.
Black Cohosh -No.1 herb for flushes, sweats, mood and vaginal dryness. Great for perimenopause and PMS symptoms too..
Sage - Especially for hot flushes with sweat.
St Johns Wort- Great for the mood and sleep disturbances.
Shatavari- In Ayurveda known as " She of a Hundred Husbands" Need I say more?
Vitamin E- for hot flushes and vaginal dryness. Oral and topical.
Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids- supports vascular integrity, can relieve hot flushes.
Magnesium- may reduce flushes by 50%- my theory is that it's due to magnesium's role in supporting both the adrenals and nervous system. Will also help to prevent osteoporosis.
Soy products, controversial I know, should be used cautiously where there is an iodine deficiency and dosed away from thyroxine supplementation. There is contradictory data around hormone responsive cancers as well as using alongside Tamoxifen so always consult with a trusted practitioner in such situations.
Flaxseed meal- richest source of dietary lignans. It's anti tumour and great for prostate health too.
Phytoestrogen Containing Foods- soybeans, flaxseed, apples, carrots, fennel, celery, parsley & legumes.
Plant based diets- veggies, fruit, vegetarian proteins, nuts, seeds & legumes.
Low GI- essential for maintaining a healthy weight, blood sugar control and cardiovascular health.
Movement- regular physical activity 30 minutes 4 x week reduces flushes & improves mood.
Quit smoking- smoking increases risk of early menopause and osteoporosis.
Stress management- stress wreaks havoc on all our hormones, not just the stress hormones- It will always be a part of life, can you change how you deal with it? Explore the range of stress busting tools at your disposal.
Weight Bearing Exercise- it doesn't have to by gym based but get those muscles straining. Strong muscles = strong bones and slower ageing.
Some women will also be bothered by vaginal dryness, bladder irritation & infection, body aches, and joint pains. After menopause women shift metabolically and we become better at storing belly fat and less good at burning carbohydrates. Personally, I think this is essential information every woman needs to know and can benefit from adjusting food and movement goals in line with this.
What I stress to my patients is that menopause is a moving target- symptoms can come, go and change over a number of years and how you eat and drink, move, sleep and stress will hugely influence your transition into your next stage. Good to know, hot flushes rarely last more than 1 year.
Menopause can be a time of great transition for women. This is the time when women claim space for themselves, are (more or less) done with the raising and nurturing of family and have the benefit of life experience under their belt. It can be a time of great self empowerment and what can be better than being in charge of your health and ageing well- like a good whiskey or cheese perhaps?


Nintendo is betting on its HTML5 development framework to help greatly expand the roster of games for the Wii U.
Iwata claimed that since its GDC reveal of the web framework, the company had already received hundreds of inquiries from developers interested in using the web framework. He added that a small development team would update the tech constantly, and that it had enabled the console giant to "significantly reduce development challenges".
It is hoped that widely available tools for relatively easy game development will help improve the number of titles released on the Wii U as Nintendo continues its hunt for third-party support and also tries to allocate sufficient resources to its own projects, which Iwata admitted it has struggled to do.
"We would like them to create software for our console. "Wii Street U powered by Google" was actually developed by a very compact team whose core members had never developed games for dedicated gaming machines. As I have already mentioned, the application has been and will be updated constantly by a small development team, which means that the development environment has enabled us to significantly reduce development challenges.
Iwata also discussed the console giant's plans for the Unity development platform, which it hoped would attract a large proportion of Unity's one million users into developing Wii U content. He added that use of the game engine and its HTML5 framework was also ideal for developers who could not afford traditional console game development.
"The other thing we announced was that developers can now use Unity, a cross-platform video game engine, for Wii U development, and we have started offering it to the developers," he said.
Next Did Ubisoft just reveal the PS4 release date?

USF Engineering Institute Awarded Contract with US SOCOM
Home/News/USF Engineering Institute Awarded Contract with US SOCOM
By Amanda Towner| 2020-03-03T17:01:55+00:00	March 3rd, 2020|
The University of South Florida (USF) Institute of Applied Engineering and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) have agreed to a new, multi-year contract that paves the way for researchers and students to collaborate with SOCOM to help solve significant challenges facing the nation.
The five-year contract is worth a maximum value of $85 million and calls for the USF Institute of Applied Engineering's expertise in applied research and advanced technology development to be utilized to support SOCOM's needs in a range of scientific and engineering disciplines.
From left to right: Mark Sharpe (Tampa Innovation), Sharon Pinson (IAE), Rachel Musaerenge (IAE ), Siladeth Rattanakongkham (IAE), John Harrington (IAE), Tim Baxter (SOFWERX), Eric Forsyth (IAE), witness Dean Robert H. Bishop signing the contract. Image credit: USF
"I firmly believe it's the role of a public research university to catalyze regional economic development, and that can only be achieved through high-impact partnerships with government and private industry," said USF President Steven C. Currall. "By forming this type of partnership, USF is helping to elevate the Tampa Bay region as we seek to shape a more knowledge-based economy."
Over the course of the contract, the USF institute will complete individual task orders for projects within its core competency areas. SOCOM may look to the institute to address issues in fields such as autonomous systems, human performance, transportation, cybersecurity, data analytics and sensor technologies. Students and faculty may also have opportunities to gain real-world experience through internships at MacDill Air Force Base.
The USF Institute of Applied Engineering is a direct support organization of USF that was formed in 2018. Professor Robert H. Bishop, founder, president and CEO of the institute, and professor and dean of the USF College of Engineering, says competing for contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense is one of the primary reasons for creating the institute.
"Our goal is to leverage the intellectual and creative firepower of the USF Institute of Applied Engineering and academia to address the many significant challenges facing our country. This contract supports groundbreaking research, hardware and software development, test and evaluation, demonstrations and prototyping, while providing SOCOM access to world-class education and training resources in support of their global mission," said Bishop.
Later this spring, the USF Institute of Applied Engineering will move into a renovated 4,000 square foot space inside University Mall as part of the Uptown District transformation. In June 2019, Hillsborough County Commissioners awarded a $5.2 million grant to support the institute as it increases capacity in the new location and aims to attract additional industry and government partners.
"The institute is expected to engage USF scientists, scholars and students across the university in creating interdisciplinary teams capable of delivering rapid, novel solutions to complex problems," said Ralph Wilcox, USF provost and executive vice president. "Many of these discoveries and technologies will have important applications that reach beyond the defense sector."
The contract with SOCOM takes effect immediately.

Recently, a client wanted a name that "told a story." A name that evoked certain historical references and ethos. This is not an uncommon request – oftentimes the expectations for the load a single name can carry are high … BUT … how much of a story can a name tell on its own?
The right branding, tagline and logo are all about adding context to a name to help build a story and couch a name in a memorable way for customers.
If you are not willing to or (more likely these days) don't have the budget or time for telling the story, do you really think the name can do it on its own? Not likely. We don't think names like a Starbucks or a Nike or even an Apple would have thrived without the investment each of them made initially and each continues to make every single day to build the right context and tell the right story.
But you're a start-up or a brand manager at a larger company without much of a budget in a fiercely competitive environment and a very short period of time to promote your new product. As much as you would like to be the next Starbucks or Zappos or Pinterest, what is realistic?
What kind of name should you select?
Well, what about more descriptive or suggestive names like a Home Depot or a Footlocker that may not be as whimsical or outside the box, but are still somewhat distinctive and can "hit the ground running" without a big investment?
Much about the name you should choose depends not just upon your marketing and branding strategy, but your budget, your timeline and the realities of your competitive environment. If you expect a name to communicate your product/service's positioning with minimal additional investment, a name that balances "the story" with something a little more descriptive may be the way to go.
If you only have 10 letters to work with, make sure they count – something we like to call the power of the name. Here are a few examples of names we created that we think fall in this camp: CarMax (car dealer), PowerShot (camera), Suits Me (swim suits) and Gadzoo (pet web site).
Brand naming is always good, and it depends on your field. Thank you for the great article.
Thanks for your thoughts, Dean.
I can't say enough about how well you handled what would have been a very difficult if not impossible branding exercise for us to do in-house. The NameStormers brought an excellent level of creativity, objectivity and a fresh look at what we live with everyday, and that is just what we needed. At the beginning of this project, I had my doubts about our ability to come up with a brand name in just 3 weeks and clearly without your help, we wouldn't have been able to do it. You really made my job easy.
I received your presentation booklet for our new car concept---I looked through it and want to compliment you on an outstanding job. The names you have developed will be terrific starting points for us as we move our project forward. We will not hesitate to use your firm again.
Mike Suchstand - Vice President, Strategic Development - THORN Americas, Inc.
Our success with our name change and branding has been phenomenal. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. I am ecstatic over it. Our experience in working with NameStormers has been so good let's just call them again and let them handle this next project for us.
I wanted to thank you and the NameStorming team for your great effort in helping me find a name for the company and our first product...starting a new business is quite a sizeable undertaking so knowing a competent team was tending to the name issues was a relief. We love the (company) name. We are also going to use the product name Acquis for a family of internet-and-otherwise commerce software packages. It really was a pleasure working with you. I look forward to NameStorming in the future.

Harry Kim, es un personaje ficticio de la serie de televisión Star Trek: Voyager que posee el rango de Alférez y sirve en la nave como su jefe de operaciones. El personaje es interpretado por el actor Garrett Wang.

Descripción

Harry Kim nació en 2349 en Carolina del Sur. Tocaba el clarinete en la Sinfónica Juvenil Juilliard y tenía una novia llamada Libby.

Después de graduarse en la Academia de la Flota Estelar en 2370, fue asignado a la nave estelar USS Voyager, que fue enviada al Cuadrante Delta por El Guardián.

En 2372, todo en la nave se duplica en un fenómeno de desfasamiento temporal en el que la materia se copia, y sin embargo ocupa el mismo espacio que el original (Temporada 2, capítulo 21 "Cualidad mortal"). Como los Vidiianos casualmente se encuentran cerca, comienzan a atacar a los dos Voyagers, Harry Kim muere tras ser expulsado al espacio. Finalmente, los alienígenas invaden una de las Voyager. El duplicado de Janeway destruye su nave, para impedir que los Vidiianos puedan clonar los órganos corporales de la tripulación, pero antes de hacerlo, envía al duplicado Harry Kim junto con la recién nacida Naomi a la original Voyager (la Naomi original murió en el parto), en su sustitución. A Kim le preocupa esta situación por algún tiempo.

En el episodio Atemporal (Temporada 5, capítulo 6, "Atemporal"), Chakotay y Kim pilotan el volador Delta por delante de la Voyager intentando un método experimental de viaje, con la intención de llegar cuanto antes a casa. Lamentablemente, Kim transmite una corrección de fase incorrecta para que se introduzca en la Voyager, provocando que aterrice en un planeta helado situado cerca del Cuadrante Alfa. Kim y Chakotay estudian el error durante quince años, para luego intentar enviar un mensaje atrás en el tiempo utilizando un transceptor Borg temporal de siete de nueve con la corrección de fase correcta, sin embargo, estos no llegan a la Voyager. Utilizando los últimos minutos antes de ser destruidos, Kim decide que es mejor abortar la misión, así, en el nuevo calendario que crea, la Voyager sigue estando segura pero todavía atascados en el Cuadrante Delta.

Kim sigue siendo alférez a lo largo de las siete temporadas de la serie. Sin embargo, como se ha visto en el episodio Nightingale (Temporada 7, capítulo 8, "Nightingale"), a Kim se le da la oportunidad de que actúe como capitán, en una nave alienígena, al tiempo que trata de transportar lo que él piensa que son suministros médicos a un planeta.

Asimismo, en una línea de tiempo alternativa en el episodio final de la serie (Fin del juego) él es el capitán del USS Rhode Island, en 2404.

Personaje

En contraste con los estereotipos predominantes para personajes masculinos asiáticos, Harry Kim parece haber obtenido el mayor número de "éxitos" en comparación a los miembros de la tripulación de la Voyager. Obtiene grandes logros durante la serie, Harry Kim se ve involucrado continuamente en enamoramientos con todo tipo de mujeres, desde Libby (su novia de vuelta a la Tierra), a Siete de Nueve, Lyndsay Ballard (Temporada 6 capítulo 18, "De cenizas a cenizas"), varias mujeres taresisanas (Temporada 3, capítulo 20, "Hijo predilecto"), la hija de Kes en otra línea de tiempo (Temporada 3, capítulo 21, "Antes y después"), Megan Delany (una de las gemelas Delaney), y se enamora de la científica Varro, llamada Tal en el episodio La enfermedad (Temporada 5, capítulo 17, "La enfermedad").

Como le dijo alguna vez Tom Paris con respecto a la vida amorosa de Harry, "Siempre tras la mujer imposible. Un holograma, una ex-borg, la gemela equivocada, y ahora ¡una chica de una especie xenofóbica!" (También ref. capítulo "La enfermedad").

Harry es extremadamente leal a la capitana Janeway. En el episodio 25 de la tercera temporada "En el peor de los casos", una simulación holográfica de un motín Maquis lo describe a él como el oficial de puente que sigue siendo fiel a ella.

Como jefe de operaciones, Harry ha demostrado estar muy dotado científicamente, en particular por su capacidad para improvisar en situaciones de tensión. En general es alegre y optimista, pero a veces demuestra desesperación en su intento de regresar al cuadrante alfa, debido al gran apego a su madre.

Harry es, de alguna forma, el hermano menor de la tripulación y es visto como la mascota de la nave por los demás, quiénes siempre le cuidan y le protegen, especialmente Tom Paris, que fue su amigo desde un principio, vive con él continuamente aventuras en la holocubierta como el socio del Capitán Protón.

Treatment with an ACE inhibitor drug was as effective in reducing deaths, heart attacks and stroke in a high-risk group of patients as a newer and more expensive angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) drug, a large international study has found.
The study of more than 17,000 people with coronary artery disease or diabetes found no major differences between those treated with the widely used ACE inhibitor ramipril (Altace) and those given the ARB telmisartan (Micardis).
The following is to update Canadians on the recall of contaminated lots of heparin products from B. Braun Medical Inc., and the ongoing testing of the heparin supply in Canada.
New drugs that are rushed through the approval process to meet government-imposed deadlines in the United States are much more likely to be the subject of recalls and safety problems, reveals a new study that sheds light on how these constraints affect decisions made by health officials.
Working within rigid deadlines may put too much pressure on health regulators, compromising their ability to focus adequate attention on the safety and efficacy of the drug, as well as the quality of clinical data submitted by the pharmaceutical company, according to the study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
A drug company continued to market its heparin products in Canada even though it knew its supplier was implicated in a growing scandal involving tainted ingredients that have been linked to 19 deaths and hundreds of illnesses in the United States.
B. Braun Medical Inc. announced a recall of its heparin products in Canada, the United States and Australia last Friday, after tests confirmed some products were contaminated with an ingredient also found in heparin products recalled a month ago by Baxter International Inc., which is now the subject of a major U.S. investigation.
Sales of prescription drugs in Canada grew by 6.3 per cent last year, the slowest rate in a decade, health industry tracker IMS Health said Wednesday.
The rate, on sales of almost $19 billion worth of prescription medication, is about two percentage points lower than the average growth of 8.4 per cent between 2002 and 2006, IMS Health said in a statement.
People using two specific kinds of antidepressants are at a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, says a University of Alberta PhD candidate.
Lauren Brown, 29, has studied the relationship between depression and diabetes for several years.
Her previous research showed that people are more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes if they are clinically depressed, and prompted her to investigate whether antidepressants trigger the disease.
A federal body that reviews medications has recommended that a high-cost drug for treating one form of the leading cause of vision loss among older Canadians be covered by provincial insurance plans.
The Common Drug Review recommended Friday that provincial drug plans cover the drug Lucentis for the "wet" form of age-related macular degeneration, but limit coverage to 15 vials "to treat the better-seeing eye."
Canada's ban on direct-to-consumer drug advertising probably saved Canadians with high cholesterol and their drug plans $150 million in 2006 alone, suggests a new study comparing sales patterns of a controversial cholesterol lowering drug in the United States and Canada.
Canadian sales of the drug Ezetrol - the generic name is ezetimibe - were four times lower than those rung up south of the border, where the drugs' manufacturers spent US$200 million advertising the drug to consumers in 2007.
Sales of ezetimibe, which is sold solo in the U.S. as Zetia or combined with a statin drug as Vytorin, are expected to drop after Sunday's release of trial results showing the drug failed to slow atherosclerosis, the clogging of the arteries with fatty deposits.
"It basically shows that the approach in Canada to this whole drug was much more appropriate and evidence-based compared to the U.S. approach where basically it's been marketed very aggressively," said Dr. Jack Tu, one of the authors of the study comparing usage trends in the two countries.
U.S. and Canadian drug regulators are investigating the popular allergy medication Singulair in response to reports of mood changes, suicidal behaviour and suicide in patients.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Thursday it is reviewing a handful of such patient reports and has asked Singulair's maker, Merck & Co., to dig deeper into its data for more evidence of possible links to suicide.
Meanwhile, "patients should not stop taking Singulair before talking to their doctor," the FDA said in a statement, adding that doctors should monitor patients for suicidal behaviour and mood changes.
Health Canada is also investigating a possible link between Singulair and suicidal behaviour, said spokesman Paul Duchesne, noting that consumers should see their doctors if they have concerns about taking the prescription drug.
He was unaware of any reports of suicide among Canadians taking the medication.
The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday recent data show patients taking HIV drugs from GlaxoSmithKline and Bristol-Myers Squibb may have increased risk of heart attack.
FDA said data pooled from a 33,000-patient study of HIV patients showed those taking Glaxo's Ziagen and Bristol-Myers' Videx had a greater chance of heart attack than patients on other medications.
An estimated 2,300 Canadians died in 2006 after contracting antibiotic resistant Staph bacteria, costing the national heath-care system between $200 million and $250 million that year, new figures suggest.
The figures, based on data gathered from a national surveillance program undertaken in 48 Canadian hospitals, indicate doctors saw 29,000 new patients carrying methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria on their skin or nostrils in 2006.
Of those, 11,700 contracted new MRSA infections.
The system that keeps working doctors abreast of medical developments is too reliant on drug company funding and organization and needs an overhaul, the Canadian Medical Organization Journal said in an editorial published this week.
The strongly worded editorial, written by the journal's editor-in-chief, said giving drug companies such control over the continuing medical education of doctors distorts medical practice and compromises the ethical underpinnings of the profession.
The author, Dr. Paul Hebert, placed much of the blame on doctors themselves, saying they have developed a sense of entitlement to the lavish perks often paired with continuing medical education programs - things like tickets to the ballet or professional sporting events, cruises or access to exclusive golf courses.
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., in consultation with Health Canada, would like to inform you of an increased risk of peripheral neuropathy observed in chronic hepatitis B patients treated with telbivudine (SEBIVO®) in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a (Pegasys®), compared to the interferon or telbivudine alone, during a controlled pilot clinical trial. An increased risk cannot be ruled out for treatments combining telbivudine with other interferon products (pegylated or standard).
Many sick Islanders are paying a very heavy price for poor provincial drug coverage — some the ultimate one.
There is a large gap of people, notably many that fall between the ages of 40 and early 60s, that don't qualify for any of the drug programs, says Pat Crawford, pharmacy consultant with the Department of Health and Social Services and Seniors.
Many sick Islanders, Crawford said, likely make the decision not to take a helpful medication because they have insufficient coverage or none at all.
And even die more quickly?
Health Canada is updating safety information for a drug used to treat chronic iron overload from blood transfusions after reports of severe, even potentially fatal, liver problems in some people using the medication.
Exjade (deferasirox), made by Novartis, is used to treat excess iron accumulation in the blood following transfusions for anemia in adults, adolescents and children aged six and over. Children under six cannot be adequately treated with the drug.
Cases of severe liver problems - some causing death - have been reported internationally following Exjade's approval for widespread use in various countries, including Canada.
Health Minister George Abbott says tossing old pills into the garbage or flushing them down the toilet can make animals, people and the environment sick.
He urged British Columbians on Tuesday to take their unused prescription drugs and medicine to a local pharmacist where they will be safely stored and disposed of at a later date.
Thousands of kilograms of medications are thrown out every year in British Columbia, Abbott said.
Old pills tossed in the garbage may be found by children or animals and they can end up leaching into ground water from local landfills, Abbott said.
And pills dumped down the toilet or sink end up in local sewage systems and some can find their way into drinking water systems, he said.
A major U.S. recall of a blood-thinning drug linked to a Chinese factory last week is prompting new questions over the ability of government and industry to ensure the safety of drugs made with ingredients from China.
China has become one of the world's largest suppliers of pharmaceutical ingredients, but the country's questionable safety reputation, combined with reports of death and serious illness associated with Chinese products in the past year, has convinced some experts and industry members that North American governments need a more aggressive approach to overseas inspections and safety checks.
The issue has reached a boiling point in the United States in recent days after Baxter International Inc. expanded its nationwide recall of heparin, a blood thinner, amid reports it had been linked to 19 deaths and hundreds of illnesses. The affected products are not sold in Canada.
A group of 15 pharmacists in Alberta has become the first in Canada given powers to prescribe new medications to patients without needing final authorization from a doctor.
They were part of a pilot project to ensure all future pharmacists wanting additional prescribing powers under Alberta's Pharmacists Act are rigorously evaluated before taking on the new responsibility.
Hundreds of people with HIV are dying without ever taking the drug cocktails that can prolong their lives for decades and the biggest at-risk group is poor, homeless, mentally ill or drug-addicted.
A new study by the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS found 40 per cent of the 1,436 people who died of HIV-related causes between 1997 and 2005 hadn't accessed the antiretroviral drugs.
It found 567 persons, or about 63 a year or more than one every week, who had tested positive died without treatment.
The antiretrovirals have improved in the past 10 years from a "burdensome quantity of therapy" requiring "many doses, many side effects" to a once-a-day dose that can prolong a person's life for decades, said Dr. Julio Montaner, director of the centre.
They also prevent those infected from spreading the disease.
"The treatment is free and effective but in reality is not accessible to those who need it most," he said.
Conventional wisdom about the treatment of Crohn's disease is being turned on its head by a new study.
Germany's medical authority said Friday it has recalled a locally produced version of the blood thinner heparin believed to be linked to contaminated ingredients from China after 80 patients suffered adverse reactions.
Axel Thiele, a spokesman for the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices, said the drug, produced by RotexMedica GmbH, was pulled from the market after 80 patients suffered shortness of breath, low blood pressure and episodes of rapid heartbeat.
No one taking the drug in Germany has died, he said, and no other drug companies' products are involved.
A different brand of heparin produced in the United States has been linked to 19 deaths there, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has reported.
A city councilor said last night he will push the state to change its policy and let the city buy prescription drugs from Canada to save money, free up a revenue source and allow for the rescinding of the trash fee.
But other officials said multiple hurdles await such a move including that it is still illegal to import prescription drugs and opposition to the move by the head of a key state agency.
City Councilor James J. Ferrera III has pitched ending the fee of $90 a year per trash barrel, which has been unpopular with many people since its inception on July 1.
Ferrera answered challenges about how he would replace the trash fee's $3.5 million to $5 million in yearly revenue by saying the city could look into saving money by revisiting the Canadian prescription drug option.
As a pharmacist and as a patient, I'm thrilled about the prospect of OTC naproxen. My view is that it is no more dangerous than ibuprofen, which has been over the counter for years. It's analgesic effect and longer duration of action seals the deal for me.
It is curious that Health Canada has decided to address this now. Did someone request that the regulatory body re-evaluate the status of naproxen? With the long list of drugs already waiting for approval, it seems unlikely they decided to create a "make work" project for themselves.
Health Canada is proposing to let a form of Naproxen be sold without a prescription for the first time, which would make the popular drug easily the most powerful painkiller available over the counter.
Some experts are questioning the change, though, noting that it comes as scientists shine increasing light on such "NSAID" medications and the risks they pose. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can cause ulcers and other stomach problems, may increase the risk of heart attacks and, one recent study suggests, seem to boost the danger of birth defects if taken by pregnant women.
"It's strange that we would be doing it now," said Dr. Pat Morley-Forster, head of the University of Western Ontario's multi-disciplinary pain centre. "I think it's a bad move."
A British Columbia man who claims he went blind after using mislabelled prescription eye drops is suing a pharmacy and the drug company that makes the drops.
Harvey Yuill said in a B.C. Supreme Court lawsuit filed Wednesday that the eye drops he bought in April 2006 contained a drug called Blue Collyrium.
"The misprescription was caused by the negligence of the defendants, which led to further complications and eventually the loss of vision," Yuill said in court documents.
Health Canada recalled the drug in May 2006 because of concern over possible side effects.
A cancer drug that can help patients live longer should be fully funded and not done on a "case-by-case basis" say the provincial Tories and a national cancer group.
"Why shouldn't everybody have equal access to this drug?" said Barry Stein, president of the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada.
"There needs to be quality of treatment for patients in Manitoba," said Kelvin Goertzen, Tory health critic.
Rich Western countries, including Canada, are demolishing African medical systems and destroying African lives by continuing to lure away their health care workers, a group of international medical experts led by a Vancouver doctor said Thursday.
The problem is so bad future active recruitment should be considered a crime in international law, argue the doctors, pharmacists and researchers in a commentary released today by the Lancet.
The Food and Drug Administration has warned the city of Duluth that a program to import prescription drugs from Canada and save money for city workers is unsafe and most likely violates federal law.
In a letter to Duluth Mayor Don Ness, the FDA warned that any packages sent to employees would likely be detained by U.S. Custom and Border Protection.
Ness, who inherited the program from former mayor Herb Bergson, said he would keep because it would continue to save the city taxpayer money on health costs -- up to $2 million a year, he said.
"If the FDA cannot give a definitive answer that this is illegal, that demonstrates the question is still out there," Ness told the Duluth News Tribune . "I'm hopeful that the federal government will address their own policy that seems to be designed to protect the profit margins of drug companies at the expense of the American citizen."
In his weekend radio address, President Bush warned of rogue pharmacists making potentially dangerous prescription drugs readily available online.
"The Internet has brought about tremendous benefits for those who cannot easily get to a pharmacy in person," Bush said. "However, it has also created an opportunity for unscrupulous doctors and pharmacists to profit from addiction."
That's undoubtedly true, as are most observations that the Internet has become a hotbed of fraud and flimflammery. And I think we can all agree that patients should see doctors face to face, rather than via an online chat or survey, before receiving prescriptions for painkillers and other such meds.
Nova Scotians living without prescription drug coverage are being encouraged to enrol in a provincial plan at no cost.
Rodney MacDonald launched the family pharmacare program Monday.
Individuals and their families are invited to enrol in the universal drug plan with no premiums or fees.
The program will cap annual out-of-pocket costs for eligible drugs at a percentage of a family's income.
B.C. cancer patients who don't get better on standard treatment will be offered a locally developed experimental drug using a nanotechnology smart bomb type of treatment derived from the bark of the "happy tree," indigenous to China.
Scientists at the B.C. Cancer Agency have developed an anti-cancer weapon that is not unlike a cruise missile, which is meant to hit targets with precision. It's been tested in mice and they say it's now ready for testing in humans.
Health Canada has recently completed its review of Merck Frosst's reports pertaining to a lot (1529U) of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine potentially associated with six cases of suspected anaphylaxis in young adults in Alberta during November and December 2007. The review found no link between this vaccine lot and the adverse events in Alberta.
Fears of a prescription drug shortage in Canada are rising now that it's all but certain the next U.S. president will allow Americans to import cheaper Canadian drugs.
But a Windsorite whose company sells prescription drugs to Americans, and inspired a Simpsons episode for it, says the fears are all hype.
"Making it easier to import international medications would not have a significant impact to Canada at all, or its supply," said Tony Howard, president of CanaRx. "What the three candidates are doing will not jeopardize Canada's supply at all."
It's illegal in the U.S. for Americans to import prescription drugs from other countries, and President George Bush has opposed changing that.
Saskatchewan pharmacists are doing their part to help residents who have low health literacy skills understand what medications they are on and when and how they should be taking those drugs.
A new study by the Canadian Public Health Association concluded many Canadians don't have the literacy skills needed to respond to daily health information demands.
"We've recognized this as an issue for many years now and have tried to do our very best to educate our clients and patients about the medications that they are taking and their conditions,'' said pharmacist Chris Perentes, who owns and operates Lorne Drugs in Regina.
Most people instinctively know that it isn't a good idea to flush their expired or unused medications down the drain, says pharmacist Wendy Mays.
But many aren't sure of what is the best way to clear the unused and expired medications out of their homes, she says. The safe and environmentally friendly way to ensure old or unused medications are disposed of properly is to take them in to a community pharmacy that participates in the Medications Return Program.
"Not a lot of people are aware of the program," says Wendy, a pharmacist and owner of two Pharmasave stores, one in West Vancouver and one in Ladner. "I find when people actually do find out about it they're delighted to have found the service."
The Manitoba government will add 120 new generic drugs to be covered under Manitoba's Pharmacare Program , Health Minister Theresa Oswald said Thursday.
The decision, effective March 19, means the province will save about $4 million a year as these generic drugs will replace more costly prescription medication. The province already covers more than 1,950 drugs under the Pharmacare system. For a complete list of approved drugs go to www.gov.mb.ca/health/mdbif/.
Pharmacare assists patients with the cost of prescription drugs by covering all bills for them after an income-based deductible.
In a release Oswald said the generic drug cost savings are substantial. For example, generic blood pressure medication Ramipril costs about half as much as prescription drug Altace; Altace costs about $33.60 a month while Ramipril only $19.95.
British scientists have discovered proteins that allow the gut to expand to make way for food, a finding that could lead to a drug for "tighter tummies" and a chemical alternative to stomach-shrinking surgery.
The human stomach can relax and expand to 25-times its normal "resting" volume, which explains why "we can pack in our Christmas dinner or our Thanksgiving dinner, or whatever festival we choose to think of," says Brian King, a senior lecturer in physiology at University College London.
All three major candidates for U.S. president are promising to make it legal for Americans to import cheaper Canadian drugs, raising concerns about a southern outflow of medicine that could threaten the pharmaceutical supply here.
With the next president already on side, observers say long-delayed U.S. legislation to open up the cross-border prescription drug trade is now much closer to reality.
Internet pharmacies on this side of the border say legalization -- if it happens -- would certainly give their businesses a boost after a downturn in the past few years, but deny Canadians would see any impact.
Newly diagnosed diabetic patients can find themselves adrift in a sea of information, and overwhelmed with the new regimen they have to follow in order to enjoy a good quality of life.
They're faced with critical health issues. They must learn how to control and monitor their blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. They also have to deal with a number of secondary health priorities, like eye, kidney and foot disease. It can be a struggle, and because diabetes is a complicated and progressive disease, many patients need expert help to reach their target health goals.
Researchers at the University of Alberta have made a breakthrough with the discovery of a gene that might block the spread of HIV and the onset of AIDS.
The hope is that the discovery could lead to a vaccine that would combat the deadly virus.
Lead researcher Steven Barr said the gene, known as TRIM22, has a natural anti-viral defence function and has the ability to block HIV.
Though the research is admittedly in its infancy, Barr said the goal now is to study how the gene works in hopes to mimic its ability to combat the virus.
Thirty per cent of heart attack patients who neglect to fill any of the prescribed medications for their condition may be dying within a year, a new Canadian study estimates.
According to researchers at Ontario's Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, a failure to adhere to medications that protect the heart, such as aspirin, beta blockers, statins or ACE inhibitors, could have deadly effects.
The study found that heart attack patients who did not fill any of their prescriptions had an 80 per cent higher chance of dying in the year following their heart attacks versus those who filled all of their prescriptions.
Can drugs that strengthen your bones actually hurt them?
That question has been asked recently by many women upon reading reports that osteoporosis drugs (prescribed to strengthen thinning bones) can trigger osteonecrosis (destruction of bone, in particular the jaw).
Some women who take this class of drugs, called bisphosphonates or BFs, also report stiffness and pain.
BFs are used by millions world-wide. As our population ages, it's likely that even more people will take them to prevent osteoporosis -- a condition that plagues 1.4 million Canadians.
Being suddenly in the spotlight, for co-authoring a report that shockingly asserts that anti-depressants don't help people much more than placebos, has admittedly been exciting for University of Windsor psychologist Alan Scoboria.
"I woke up, saw it in the newspapers and thought this is going to be interesting," the assistant psychology professor said in an interview on Saturday. "It's been a flattering first time where I've had this type of interest."
President Bush called on Congress on Saturday to pass legislation restricting online sales of powerfully addictive prescription drugs, citing a growing number of overdoses.
Bush referred to San Diego teenager Ryan Haight as he unveiled the 2008 national drug control strategy in his weekly radio address. Haight overdosed on painkillers he bought over the Internet, prompting Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to introduce the bill that Bush championed Saturday.
The president said his national drug policy had reduced youth drug consumption by 24% since 2001. That progress has been counterbalanced by the growing problem of prescription drug abuse.
Hundreds of pharmacies around the country will shut down on Wednesday in what will effectively be a one-day work stoppage, the Sunday Independent has learned.
All 1,600 pharmacists who are members of the Irish Pharmacy Union have been called to a mass meeting in Dublin to discuss the HSE decision to implement a controversial new payment system for pharmacies as of yesterday.
Because medicines can only be dispensed in the presence of a qualified pharmacist, it is likely that many chemists around the country will be unable to fill prescriptions and will close their doors.
It means patients who have urgent prescriptions may have to travel long distances.

Belief in the supernatural ranges from person to person.
Halloween has come and gone, leaving behind salivating minds bent on packing pumpkin pie in its wake. But despite the month of scares being over, I asked students about their own haunting perspectives on ghosts and the supernatural and boy did their responses not disappoint!
When asked about her belief in ghosts and why she does or does not believe in them, fourth-year biochemistry major Jessica Nguyen recalled her Vietnamese cultural traditions, saying, "I believe in ghosts because of my culture. We have a lot of superstitions and I grew up with it."
Nguyen gave a specific example of one of her cultural traditions where "August is known as the Ghost Month. In Vietnamese culture, this is the month they thrive on. In a legend, this is when the gates of 'hell' are opened, so the ghosts and spirits come out during this time." Nguyen then went into how this tradition is similar to the Mexican, Hispanic and Latinx Día de los Muertos, saying that the month, "is when your relatives and friends visit you, so shrines are sometimes set up with offerings. But there is a dark side. If you talk about ghosts or mention ghost stories, their 'powers' are intensified. They will follow you around more and haunt you."
Superstitions also permeate the Vietnamese Ghost month like any other cultural tradition, with Nguyen adding that, "You don't wear white clothes either, since traditionally they are associated with funerals. The family of the person that died wears a white cloth around their heads. You also should not sleep in front of a mirror because if you look at yourself and go to sleep, they will jump out of your reflection and pretend to be you or you'll wake up with them in your face. Don't swim at night because they will pull you down and you'll eventually drown. These are the superstitions that I grew up with that lead me to believe in ghosts."
With the advent of the modern hoax and the seeming impossibility of a shortage of horror movies, other students are understandably more skeptical, including junior Hailey Greer. A history major, Greer said that she's "not sure [about the existence of ghosts]. I believe that anything is possible, so I suppose they could be [real]."
In trying to make up for forgetting about spooky content for the previous two editions of the Chronicle, I also asked students about their supernatural experiences. Fourth year literature and writing major Vanessa Armenta pitched in a very gripping answer, saying, "I used to experience very odd things in my childhood home. I used to see a little girl in a white dress walking through the hallway of my house across my bedroom door. I always thought that I was the only one that could see her until a few years ago after moving out of that house I brought it up in a family conversation and my mom and my older sister said that they had seen something similar while we were living in that house. We all kept it to ourselves because we thought we were just imagining things and there was no way that we influenced each others sightings because we had never told one another anything about that little girl figure."
As if that weren't intense enough, Armenta continued with other chilling stories, recounting how, "I experienced other things such as the stereo in the house randomly turning on and off and things falling off the shelves.
But the craziest encounter that I experienced was a glass flying across the room and shattering against the wall. My dad and I both witnessed it but we swore to never speak of it because we were so shaken and distraught by the idea that the supernatural might be real."

The Honesdale Community Pantry, which has occupied the first floor of the Foster Building on Court Street in Honesdale for the past two decades, is in need of a new home.
Board member Betty Bodie says they received notice from the Wayne County Commissioners last week that the building was deemed unsafe for occupancy.
"Our county engineer has reviewed the building and said it's not feasible to repair the building to bring it up to occupancy standards," said Wayne County Commissioner Tony Herzog.
Bodie said they've been given until September 15th to relocate.
"We're looking for a new home, if anybody has any ideas," she said.
In existence since 1982, the Honesdale Community Pantry started out in the Grace Episcopal Parish House before moving to its current location. An emergency pantry, they faithfully served Wayne County residents in need. They served 82 people in March and 76 in April.
Bodie is hoping someone will come forward with a free space for them to utilize.
"We honestly can't afford a rent. We spend up to $1,000 a month based on the number of clients served. We need (the money) for the groceries," Bodie said.
Anyone with suggestions may contact Betty Bodie at 253-3142 or Marilyn Barbe at 729-7312.

No deberias utilizar 'tabla3' sino simplemente tabla3 de la siguiente forma:
$sql = "select * from tabla3;";

O bien utilizar comilla pero en este caso de esta forma:
$sql = "select * from `tabla3`;";

Para obtener este tipo de comilla o también denominado (acento grave) puedes utilizar el código ascii 96
Espero te funcione ;) Saludos

I don't know why it wasn't automatically put on the older ones, but I have it on mine. Although I agree with you, it is difficult to understand how someone would be so out of touch as to have a big roaming bill nowadays.
For some folks with extremely limited use, pay-per-use rates are still cheaper, and some folks prefer the travel packs.
Crossing to another country triggers a reminder, sent as a text, describing how to add travel packs, so as @BillTelusCust says, it is difficult to unknowingly run up a large bill these days.


"Comparison of photoexcited p-InAs THz radiation source with convention" by Michael Smith, Rajind Mendis et al.
Smith, M., Mendis, R., Vickers, R. E. and Lewis, R. A. (2009). Comparison of photoexcited p-InAs THz radiation source with conventional thermal radiation sources. Journal of Applied Physics, 105 (6), 1-4.
P-type InAs excited by ultrashort optical pulses has been shown to be a strong emitter of terahertz radiation. In a direct comparison between a p-InAs emitter and conventional thermal radiation sources, we demonstrate that under typical excitation conditions p-InAs produces more radiation below 1.2 THz than a globar. By treating the globar as a blackbody emitter we calibrate a silicon bolometer which is used to determine the power of the p-InAs emitter. The emitted terahertz power was found to be 98±10 nW in this experiment.

The inspiring story of Robert Katende, the man behind the success of Uganadan chess champion Phiona Mutesi, begins in a small town in Kiboga District where his teenage mother had to place her son in the care of his grandmother. Uprooted by the Ugandan Bus War insurgency of those years, Robert and his grandmother eventually made it to Kampala.
Later, living in the slums of Nakulabye, he was taken in by two different aunties. Against all odds, he made it to Kyambogo University where he pursued a degree in civil engineering. It was there that he started volunteering with Sports Outreach and two years later, in 2002, he began working for that organization full time.
Having played for Miracle Football Club, Top TV F.C. and Sports Outreach Ambassadors (SOA_ F.C. under Coach Aloysius Kyazze, Robert's ability to help young people with their soccer skills came easily. He also worked with Divine Waters Ministry in partnership with Sports Outreach to drill wells in Gulu. His exemplaray and innovative leadership in 15 years of service have see him as Project Coordinator in Katwe, Sports Outreach Director, Kampala and Nairobi, and more recenlty Sports Outreach Director for Africa.
He introduced and developed chess programs in the slums of Kampala, Nairobi and in the internally displaced people's campus (IDP) in Gulu, Northern Uganda, an area severely affected by Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Katende helped the young program participants attain the skills needed to become a credit to their communities.
The impact of the chess ministry program has now hit the international scene with the Walt Disney Pictures movie, Queen of Katwe, which depicts the life of Phiona Mutesi and her rise from the slums to become a chess champion. Robert Katende worked on the movie as a consultant, helping in particular with the chess scenes.
Everyone has a seed of excellence that needs to be nurtured to harness their God given abilities.
After running the chees program in Katwe for two years, Robert reached out to the Uganda Chess Federation to have the kids participate in the National Secondary School Chess Tournament. After being turned down several times, he persisted and they were eventually given a slot as guest participants, since his program wan not part of a school.
Their momentous appearance at the National Secoundary School Tournament in 2005 simply amazed the Uganda Chess Federation officials and participants. The kids from Katwe had come from disadvantaged backgrounds and were very young, but the chess board was the equalizer, allowing them to prove their abilites.
The Federation made Robert the Chairman of the Chess in Schools Committee and later Director of Development. In 2006 Phiona became National Junior Chess Champion of Uganda, a title she held for three consecutive years, In 2009 the Katwe chess players represented Uganda at the African Children's International Chess Tournament held in Sudan. It was during this period that ESPN, the sports network, wrote about Phione and Robert's successes.
In 2010 Phiona qualified to represent Uganda at the World Chess Olympiad in Russia at the age of the age of 14. After the ESPN article the writer was inspired to write a book to tell the story of Phiona Mutesi and coach Robert Katende. Phiona later reperesented Uganda at the World Chess Olympiad in Turkey and the World Chess Federation recognized Robert's work that used chess as a vehicle of positive social impact for less privileged children in the slums. He was later appointed the General Secretary for the Social Action Commission of the World Chess Federation.
Robert has been asked to share his formula for success in other African countries. This has taken him to Rwanda, Kenya and Cameroon where he has conducted chess seminars for instructors. Currently Robert runs chess centers in five different Kampala slums and seven centers in Gulu communities.
He also travels the world inspiring others to unlock their potential and has spoken at the Women in the World Summit, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation staff conference, Sports Outreach banquets and is a member of the American Speakers Bureau.
With degrees in water engineering, information technology and computer engineering, Robert also volunteers to help secondary school and university students. Robert and his wife Sarah live in Kampala and have three beautiful daughters - Mercy, Hope and Queen. They host other children he now mentors. This year Robert Katende launched the Robert Katende Initiative to help inspire and transform lives by empowering others.

Unveiling The Vision
The Artistic Impressions of the Proposed Chess Academy
The Kampala Project for the - Differently Abled
Som Chess Academy is a non-profit organization that helps youngsters in the slums realize their full potential through chess, by integrating principles of the game with management of daily challenges in life, enhancing abstract thinking, creativity and innovation. The Academy was started in 2004 by Coach Robert Katende who introduced chess in the slums of Katwe. Today Som Chess Academy serves five different slums in Kampala, seven villages in Gulu and one community in Jinja.
It is through chess that Som empowers and prepares participants for a formal education, enrolling and supporting those who would otherwise have no chance to go to school. Through collaboration with partners and friends, the program has also enrolled youths in various vocational training projects, enabling them to develop self-reliance.
The idea is to focus on each participant as an individual. As life coaches, Som leaders help youth to work toward attainment of their life goals. In the 12 years since its founding, the program has been able to restore hope, instill discipline, nurture good character, educate and develop leaders who have also excelled, some of whom have even become national and international chess players.
The learners pay no fees to be a part of Som Chess Academy and they experiece a welcoming atmosphere. The leadership at Som Chess Academy knows that not everyone participating will turn out to be a great chess player, but the greater aim is to enable everyone to achieve their full potential in life.

My African Journey
"For magnificence, for variety of form and color, for profusion of brilliant life - bird, insect, reptile, beast - for vast scale - Uganda is truly "the Pearl of Africa."
The Kingdom of Uganda is a fairy tale, The scenery is different, the climate is different and most of all, the people are different from anything else where to be seen in the whole range of Africa... what message I bring back... concentrate on Uganda.
Uganda is from end to end a 'beautiful garden' where 'staple food' of the people grows almost without labours. Does it not sound like a paradise on earth? It is the Pearl of Africa."
Following the success of the Robert Katende Initiatives worldwide, Mr. Katende plans to continue using his global appeal to market Uganda.
