Doggie Pedal Parade, Sunday

Sunday, May 23, 2010
Meet 2:00pm at the Tompkins Square Park next to the dog run
near Avenue A and 9th Street, NYC

Must see photos from last year’s ride:

Bring your dog and bicycle to third annual Time’s Up! Doggie Pedal Parade. We will ride our dogs in baskets and trailers attached to our bikes, listen to doggie tunes playing on the “music bike”, and end at Washington Square Park for a party complete with free snacks and drinks for all, including tofu dogs & vegan chocolate bars donated from Earth Matters & Rescue Chocolate.

The ride will highlight bicycles adapted to transport pets (see 5/20 Pup Your Ride workshop) as well as the benefits of adopting homeless animals.

If you don’t have a dog you’re encouraged to still come on the ride or join the Safety Pooch Patrol to help escort the ride.

If you don’t ride a bike, you and your dog can still join us at the end-of-the-ride party at Washington Square dog run, starting at approximately 3:30 PM. Rain date May 30, 2010.

To prevent any Ruff Riding and for the fun and safety of the group, non-social pets are asked to stay at home.

I got my X3 in Jan 05 and it did not function by pushing the little face button for the voice recognition. (It works fine w/ the BT phone, but not with the nav, etc.) I took it to the dealer a couple of months ago to see if it could work, and they took it on as a project and were able to get it working, but they wanted $900 for the little part and their labor. I declined.

European cars in general will be more expensive to maintain because of parts cost and labor rates. My E46 has only needed repairs for systems that were known to be problematic (like the cooling system). Everythign else has just been wear and tear stuff, tires, brakes, oil changes, etc. It has been wonderfully reliable and i plan to keep it for a long time. Averages to maybe $1.5k a year in maintenance and repairs. Not that bad at all compared to the cost of a new car.

I feel like people give bimmers a bad rep cuz they do this:

1) buy a used car just outside of warranty (50k+ miles)
2) not understand that a used car outside of warranty will be at that mileage where things need to be replaced.
3) perform maintenance and repairs and whine about it to everyone and the internet.
4) not realize that the significant upfront repair cost at the mileage (just after purchase) will be followed by a long period of basic wear and tear parts replacement so in the long run the cost of ownership will average out and reduce.
5) people think bmw's are bad to own outside of warranty.

Wonder what's up with the OP??

If it is a new car, it may not technically belong to him until the carrier off loads it to him. Might be the dealerships' problem until then.

OP- be very careful when you take delivery. Note EVERYTHING on the bill of lading the driver will make you sign.. EVERYTHING. "Dead Battery", "Shift release opened and taken apart", any and all scratches, dings, scuffs, dirt, etc, "excessive dirt preventing inspection of the cars condition' is a good one, if true.

Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.

Open Access Science Publisher Frontiers Adopts ReadCube Web Reader for Interactive PDF Reading

Lausanne, Switzerland (PRWEB) January 15, 2013

Frontiers, open-access publisher of interdisciplinary science journals, today announced the new integration of the ReadCube Web Reader for all of its peer-reviewed online journals. ReadCube is the flagship product of Labtiva, a Boston based company, supported by Digital Science. The integration enhances the reading experience for Frontiers journal articles, by combining the print-quality reading experience of PDFs with the enhanced interactivity and wealth of related content currently available only when reading articles online.

The elements of ReadCube’s enhanced PDF include annotation tools, hyperlinked in-line citations, and clickable author names that initiate searches to quickly find related articles. In an effort to best serve the Frontiers community, Labtiva customized the web reader so that hyperlinked author names also link to the author’s profile page in the Frontiers Research Network. A sample article can be found at:

“Our goal is to catapult scholarly publishing into the digital era,” says Kamila Markram, CEO of Frontiers and a researcher at EPFL. “The ReadCube Web Reader will help us to achieve our mission by providing quick and simple features for our growing community of researchers to organize, collaboratively annotate and share scientific papers online."

The ReadCube Web Reader can save articles, enhancements, and annotations to the free ReadCube desktop reference manager for PCs and Macs. ReadCube Desktop automatically imports, builds and curates the user’s personal library of academic literature, organizing it by tags and topics. It can also rapidly acquire articles without the hassles of repeatedly entering login information or visiting multiple web pages. It discovers new published literature through intuitive search tools and an optional recommendation system based on reading habits.

“In the digital age, scientists should not have to waste time chasing information through complicated and confusing systems,” says Robert McGrath, Labtiva’s co-founder and CEO. “ReadCube’s purpose is to simplify many common time-consuming steps and thus free up time and energy that can be better spent engaging with literature and generating new data.”

For users of the ReadCube desktop application, PDF enhancement can be applied to millions of articles from all of the major publishers.

Since its launch in late 2011, ReadCube has attracted scientists from over 5,000 institutions and forged alliances with Nature Publishing Group, Palgrave, and now Frontiers.

More intensive dialysis does not improve outcomes among patients with acute kidney injury

No significant difference in death rates or other outcomes was found between a group of patients with acute kidney injury that received intensive dialysis and another group that received a more standard regimen of dialysis, according to a joint Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) study published in the June issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Acute kidney injury, also called acute renal failure, is a common complication in hospitalized patients that is associated with very high mortality rates. In-hospital mortality rates of critically-ill patients typically range from 50 percent to 80 percent.

Several prior single-center studies in patients with acute kidney injury had suggested improved survival with more intensive dialysis, which is significantly more costly to administer. "We now have definitive evidence that intensive treatment of acute kidney injury is no more beneficial in improving treatment outcomes than the usual level of care," said NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D. "As a result, the findings of this well-designed study may help prevent unnecessary medical expenditures."

Within 60 days after starting dialysis, 302 patients (53.6 percent) in the intensive treatment group died compared to 289 patients (51.5 percent) in the less-intensive treatment group. Also, the study reports no significant differences between the two groups in recovery of kidney function, the rate of failure of organs other than kidneys, or the number of patients able to return to their prior living situations.

No medications have been found to be effective in treating acute kidney injury, so doctors use hemodialysis and other forms of renal-replacement therapy to support patients whose kidneys do not function properly. Hemodialysis uses a machine to clean waste and extra fluid from the blood when the kidneys cant do the job.

In this study, doctors provided renal-replacement therapy to both patient groups. Patients who did not require medications to maintain their blood pressure were treated with conventional dialysis, either three times per week in the less-intensive arm of the study or six times per week in the intensive arm. Patients who were unstable and required medications to increase their blood pressure were treated with more gentle forms of dialysis, either a slower form of hemodialysis called SLED or a continuous form at a lower or higher dose as randomly assigned. Patients were able to switch between forms of therapy as their clinical condition changed, while remaining within the lower or higher intensity treatment arms of the study.

"The main purpose of this study was to see if intensive therapy would reduce the death rate, shorten the duration of the illness, and decrease the number of new complications in other organs among patients with acute kidney injury," said co-author Robert A. Star, M.D., director of NIDDKs Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases. "Though this was found not to be the case, it is important that we know this so we can focus future research on finding more beneficial treatment strategies."

"Unlike earlier studies that used only a single method of therapy, our use of an integrated strategy of continuous and intermittent methods of therapy allows us to apply these study results more readily to clinical practice," explained study chair Paul M. Palevsky, M.D., chief of the Renal Section at the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System and a professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. "What is important about these results is that they outline the limits of effective therapy."

Pharmacists Endorse House Bill to Clarify Compounding Oversight, While Preserving Patient Access to Customized Medications

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) strongly supports bipartisan House legislation introduced today that is intended to prevent a recurrence of the 2012 meningitis outbreak, the association said in a letter to House lawmakers.

The Compounding Clarity Act, H.R. 3089, sponsored by U.S. Reps. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), Gene Green (D-Texas) and Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), would better enable regulators to protect the public from any entities like the New England Compounding Center (NECC) without harming patients or saddling independent community pharmacists with new red tape.

"Our independent pharmacies provide a needed service in compounding medications and have a long history of protecting patient safety while preserving patient access to vital medications," wrote NCPA CEO B. Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA. "The House legislation appropriately addresses the issues that led to the NECC tragedy and prevents another tragedy from occurring while also not interfering with the physician-patient-pharmacist relationship and maintaining critical patient access to compounded medications."

H.R. 3089 would preserve state board of pharmacy oversight of the vast majority of independent community pharmacies that compound medications. (When off-the-shelf, manufactured drugs are not an option, pharmacists prepare or "compound" customized medication for a patient in accordance with a physician's prescription.) If a pharmacy prepares sterile medications for office use (such as by a physician or hospital), ships those medications across state lines, and such medications account for more than five percent of drugs it produces, then the compounding provider would fall under the legislation's newly established category of "outsourcing facilities" subject to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation. Moreover, the bill would help ensure more effective coordination and communication between FDA and state boards of pharmacy, thereby directly addressing one of the key breakdowns that helped facilitate and prolong the meningitis outbreak.

NCPA members and staff have delivered expert testimony at congressional hearings and spent countless hours working constructively and discussing legislative proposals with House and Senate lawmakers and staff members. Throughout the legislative process, NCPA has urged focus on ensuring that federal and state regulators fully exercise their existing oversight authority and that any new legislation preserves patient access to customized medications from independent community pharmacists, without burdening pharmacy small business owners who had no role in the tragic events of the meningitis outbreak.

Unfortunately, an alternative proposal, S. 959, as currently written would subject community pharmacists to broadly expanded FDA authority that could jeopardize patient access to essential medications. For example, it would require community pharmacists to notify FDA every time they compound a medication that is in shortage. In addition, it would give FDA blanket authority over what a community pharmacist can compound in response to a physician's prescription for a patient. NCPA reiterated these views recently in a Sept. 4 letter to leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA®) represents the interests of America's community pharmacists, including the owners of more than 23,000 independent community pharmacies. Together they represent an $88.5 billion health care marketplace, dispense nearly 40% of all retail prescriptions, and employ more than 300,000 individuals, including over 62,000 pharmacists. To learn more go to or read NCPA's blog, The Dose, at

BUCHANAN, ALEXANDER CARLISLE, public servant; b. 25 Dec. 1808 at Common Green, a large farm near Omagh in County Tyrone (Northern Ireland), son of James Buchanan and Elizabeth Clarke; m. 3 Nov. 1840 Charlotte Louise Caldwell, daughter of Edward Bowen, chief justice of the Superior Court of Lower Canada, and they had four sons and two daughters; d. 2 Feb. 1868 at Quebec.

Alexander Carlisle Buchanan received part of his education in Ireland before his father, who ran a linen business there until 1816, was appointed British consul in New York and brought his family to the United States. In 1825 Alexander Carlisle came to Canada and he and his brother, Robert Stewart, were partners in business, apparently in Montreal.

Buchanan’s uncle, also named Alexander Carlisle Buchanan, was the British agent for emigration at Quebec from 1828 until 1838. At least as early as 1833 the younger Buchanan (who sometimes added Jr to his signature) looked after the immigration office during the winter while his uncle took a leave of absence for his health. He did so regularly from 1835 to 1838, when the elder Buchanan resigned because of illness. In that year the British government appointed Buchanan chief agent “for the Superintendence of Emigration to [Lower and Upper] Canada.” He had lived in Quebec perhaps from 1833 and continued to reside there until his death.

Buchanan was not an officer of the Canadian government, although he worked in Canada; he exercised a limited supervision over other emigration agents appointed by British authorities to such strategic locations as Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, and Hamilton. After 1848, however, he submitted his annual reports to the Executive Council of the Province of Canada before transmission to London. In the following years his title gradually changed to that of chief emigration agent and he was required to present his reports to the Legislative Assembly. In 1852 the Canadian government established a Bureau of Agriculture, one of whose responsibilities was immigration, and in 1855 Canada assumed the total cost of immigration services within the province. After the Department of Agriculture and Statistics was established in 1862 Buchanan’s reports were included in those of the minister. Thus by the 1860s Buchanan had ceased to have the status of an imperial official and had become a Canadian civil servant, an evolution brought about by the achievement of responsible government in Canada.

Buchanan’s exercise of his functions was affected by the inefficient and uncoordinated administration of immigration matters by the colonial government. The Bureau of Agriculture had been formed originally to take over some of the tasks of the Department of Crown Lands, which, however, retained a role in the promotion of immigration until 1862. The lack of clear purposes and prestige for the bureau is evident in the fact that it had no fewer than nine ministers between 1852 and 1862; moreover, it was the presidents of the Executive Council who were until March 1862 ex officio ministers of agriculture, and their many duties inevitably distracted them from the bureau’s work, of which immigration was only one part. In 1862 the Department of Agriculture and Statistics became solely responsible for immigration and the situation improved, particularly with the appointment, in 1864, of Thomas D’Arcy McGee as minister and Joseph-Charles Taché* as first deputy minister.

The bureau’s weaknesses had increased the burden on and enhanced the importance of its permanent officials among whom Buchanan was the one most concerned with the promotion of immigration. Quebec was the major port of entry, and when immigrants landed there Buchanan met them with information about transportation, employment, and land for purchase. For this purpose he collected information from subordinate agents in Canada and from employers, farmers, and landowners. He also sent this material to government emigration officers in Britain as well as to anyone interested in encouraging emigration, such as shipowners and landowners. Buchanan even undertook to have promotional literature distributed on the Continent. He took seriously one of the main purposes of his office, the protection of immigrants when they arrived. Often bewildered and uninformed about North America, they were easy prey for unscrupulous tricks. To safeguard their funds Buchanan sent them directly to locations where they could quickly find suitable work. Moreover, to guard immigrants from “runners” who sold tickets to destinations far inland, usually in the United States, he directed them to specific Canadian steamship companies and railway offices. Indeed occasionally between 1854 and 1862 Buchanan himself engaged in selling tickets and in remitting money to emigrants in Europe. He finally ended these business connections because of criticism, although a government investigation in 1861–62 showed he had not abused his position.

Buchanan’s experience with immigration at the Canadian end and his knowledge of the conditions in Europe led him in 1852 to advocate sending Canadian emigration agents to Europe. Despite the support of the secretary of the Bureau of Agriculture, William Hutton, and of two prominent politicians, Philip Michael Matthew Scott VanKoughnet and McGee, nothing was done until 1859. And it was actually the commissioner of crown lands, VanKoughnet, rather than the minister of agriculture, John Ross*, who first sent an emigration agent, Anthony Bewden Hawke, to England in 1859.

Hawke returned in 1860, and Buchanan was sent to England in 1861 and 1863 on short term missions. He continued Hawke’s work of advertising Canada but, as the department’s most experienced senior official, he was given much wider duties. He was to consider the establishment of Canadian emigration agencies in the United Kingdom and the advertising of Canada on the Continent, including France, Switzerland, and Poland. The Canadian government most consistently sought to attract farmers with capital, farm labourers, and female domestic servants. Buchanan was the central distributing agent for Canadian publicity and supervised the other temporary agents promoting emigration to Canada. His report dated 30 Oct. 1861 accounted for work done and also made far-reaching recommendations, including a permanent Canadian agency for London which would perform consular functions as well as those of a central emigration agency. Much of what he proposed for an emigration agency was instituted in 1866 when William Dixon* was sent to Liverpool, and in 1869 Dixon was transferred to London where a central emigration agency with consular functions was put into effect.

Buchanan’s chief contributions to Canada’s development were his careful administration of the immigration agency at Quebec and his consistent support for a Canadian presence overseas particularly in the form of emigration agencies. From 1838 to 1868, about 866,000 immigrants came to Canada chiefly from the British Isles, and for many thousands who landed in Quebec, Buchanan provided the first official guidance to their new life in Canada. It is impossible to measure the benefits to Canada’s growth of his sympathetic treatment of them. His knowledge and good sense gave weight to his opinions and enabled him to maintain harmonious relations with the Canadian emigration agents who were sent to Europe in the 1860s.

Wesley B. Turner

[Alexander Carlisle Buchanan sent great quantities of emigration literature to Europe, but aside from official reports and pamphlets he apparently published no writing of his own. A pamphlet, Emigration practically considered; with detailed directions to emigrants proceeding to British North America, particularly to the Canadas; in a letter to the Right Hon. RWilmot Norton, M.P. (London, 1828), often attributed to him, was almost certainly written by his uncle, although the younger Buchanan may have had a hand in the publication of the second edition in 1834.  w.b.t.]

> Great! That's pretty rapid! What system are you on John?
A 1.33GHz G4 laptop.  I'm not sure if it stressed the disk at all, so I'd
imagine it was more a function of RAM access and processor, in which case
this is an above average machine.

> BCCodons express their sequence in the BCTokens right?
Could you send me a copy of the .plist?  I've been debating between a
flatfile with all possible combinations and a tree structure with keys that
are BCSymbols themselves, which should allow us to use ambiguous bases more

To explain the tree option in detail:  you simply enumerate the keys and
query each one as to whether it represents the first base.  If it does, you
grab the dictionary it keys for, and repeat the process with the second
base.  On the third base of the codon, the dictionary simply contains the
answer - in the case of a translation, the amino acid.  If it fails at any
point, it returns undefined.

This should cut down on the number of items we have to put in the dictionary
considerably, and provide a translation even if the sequence isn't high
quality.  Plus, I already know how to populate an object from text
references thanks to the nucleotide experience.

> We could have two different methods for translation to either RNA or

I was thinking of making a single generic method that would handle all
translations, but I guess there's only going to be a few, so specialized
methods make more sense.

> dictionary of BCSequenceProteins with the frame as key?
> Finally, let's define how we call each frame: -3, -2, -1, +1, +2, +3?
If a method can return more than one result, clearly it should return an
array.  As for frames, I think the non-zero integers are the way to go - we
should try to make usage familiar to biologists (unless it's too difficult
or annoying to do so ;).

International Drug & Explosives Detection Company IDenta Corporation Announces Development of New Drug Detectors for Synthetic Cannabinoids and Bath Salt

7/3/2012 8:10:09 AM

JERUSALEM--(Marketwire - July 02, 2012) -

IDenta Corp. (PINKSHEETS: IDTA) CEO Yaacov Shoham today announced that the company has developed new drug detectors (field test kits), for Synthetic Cannabinoids and for Bath Salt.

1. Synthetic Cannabinoids drugs have become a major problem all over the world.

IDenta has developed a field testing kit for detecting these Synthetic Cannabinoids as pure substances and as a substance absorbed on plant material. This is the first time that a company has developed this type of detector. As far as we know, no other company has developed such detectors and probably the other companies will not be able to develop it because they do not have R&D departments. IDenta is the only company that has an R&D department.

IDenta has already applied to obtain a patent for the Synthetic Cannabinoids drug detectors.

2. At the same time we at IDenta have developed a kit for another major world problem -- Bath Salts.

Bath Salts are analogs of Ecstasy drugs and are detected by IDenta's already patented field testing kit for Ecstasy.

3. Mr. Shoham commented, "We have been working on new inventions and developments for the past 18 months. We at IDenta do believe that we will be in a short time the only 'supermarket' for the specific forensics products. We will have all kind of detectors and methods for detecting suspected substances. Additional details will be released in the July-August months."

IDenta's entire product line may be found at www.Identa-corp.com, www.drugsdetector.com and www.Identa.biz

Since 2003, IDenta Corporation has been recognized as a worldwide leader in the development of proprietary on-site drug, drug precursor and explosive detection kits. IDenta develops, manufactures and distributes products for both the professional and civil markets which consistently pass the highest qualifications and testing procedures of law enforcement and security agencies around the world.

Certain of the statements contained herein may be, within the meaning of the federal securities laws, "forward-looking statements" that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations as of the date hereof, and the company does not undertake any responsibility to update any of these statements in the future.

Oxford, UK – 17 February 2014: Oxford BioMedica plc (LSE: OXB) (“the Company”), the leading gene-based biopharmaceutical company, today announces that it has concluded the terms of the development and commercialisation licence agreement (the “Licence”) with its partner Sanofi to develop the novel gene-based medicines for the treatment of ocular diseases, StarGen™ and UshStat®. Under the terms of the licence, Sanofi has been granted broadened global rights across all ocular disease indications for StarGen™ and UshStat® and, in return, Oxford BioMedica will regain the worldwide rights to EncorStat®, a treatment for corneal graft rejection.

Under the terms of the collaboration agreement signed in April 2009, Sanofi committed $24 million of development funding that was subsequently prioritised for the advancement of RetinoStat®, StarGen™ and UshStat®. In June 2012, Sanofi elected to exercise its options to acquire exclusive worldwide development and commercialisation licences for StarGen™ and UshStat® which triggered an aggregate option exercise payment of US$3 million to Oxford BioMedica. Under the new Licence Oxford BioMedica is eligible for development and commercialisation milestone payments and royalties on any future sales of the two products. The parties expect that the management of the ongoing clinical studies will be handed over from the Company to Sanofi during the first half of 2014.

EncorStat®, which has expected peak year sales of c.$60 million1 and was designed and developed by Oxford BioMedica using the Company's proprietary LentiVector® platform technology, was included in the 2009 collaboration between Sanofi and Oxford BioMedica and has successfully completed pre-clinical studies. As previously confirmed on 19 November 2013, Oxford BioMedica was awarded a £1.8 million grant by the UK's innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board, which will facilitate the Company funding a Phase I/IIa clinical study for EncorStat® which is planned to be conducted at Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, and is expected to start recruitment in 2015.

Commenting on the news, John Dawson, Chief Executive Officer of Oxford BioMedica, said:
“We are delighted to regain the full rights to EncorStat®. We believe that niche ocular indications have significant market value and we are therefore excited by the opportunity to execute our plans and to progress EncorStat® into its first human studies next year.

“We have a strong partner in Sanofi and are delighted to continue our ocular collaboration with them. Together, we are focused on completing the RetinoStat® Phase I study this year and the future development of StarGenTM andUshStat®. We firmly believe that these programmes have the potential to bring life-changing treatments to patients.”

Biotech industry unhappy with budget 2011

Despite an increased budget allocation of 20 percent to healthcare sector, the biotech industry has given thumbs down to budget 2011

Dr Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
, CMD, Biocon
The Finance Minister has totally excluded the promising biotechnology sector and failed to make provisions for providing fund assistance to the industry. Incentivizing R&D by providing a five-year tax holiday on products developed in-house, provisions for venture funding, zero duty on R&D equipments, and a longer tax-free allowance for biotech SEZs are steps that were totally ignored. No steps have been taken to enable scientific and technological advances or boost innovation. I would rate this budget no higher than 5.5 on a scale of one to 10.

Mr Ramesh Swaminathan, president – finance & planning, Lupin
The budget has little provisions for the pharma industry. The weighted deduction on R&D is a necessary fiscal incentive given to the entire sector in several parts of the globe, there was a need to incentivize exports through fiscal measures to maintain the sector's global competitive situation which unfortunately is not the case with the MAT introduction on SEZs and the phasing out of export oriented units.

Mr Tapan Ray, director general & Mr Ranjit Shahani, president, Organization of Pharmaceutical Producers of India
Overall, there is nothing significant in this budget for the healthcare sector. However, we appreciate the following announcements of the Finance Minister in his budget speech with reference to following areas: fund allocation for healthcare has been increased by 20 percent, a significant part of which will be utilized to build appropriate healthcare infrastructure; the scope of Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna has been expanded to widen its coverage, which is expected to have an impact in improving access to medicines to the marginalized section of the population. The biotech industry expected that the government will take measures to make all imported life-saving drugs more affordable to the patients by eliminating the import duty. Unfortunately, this has not been considered. However, the basic customs duty has been reduced to five percent with nil CVD on four life-saving drugs along with the bulk drugs used in the manufacturing of these drugs. Enhancement of scope of weighted deduction on payments made for scientific research to national laboratories, universities and institutes of technology to 200 percent is a welcome step.

Dr Bhuwnesh Agrawal, MD, Roche Diagnostics
I feel that the budget has nothing much for life sciences sector. I expected a reduction in import duties and a significant increase in healthcare spending. I'm also unhappy with the levying of tax on diagnostic tests, which means that this is a disincentive, which would be catastrophic as we need more diagnostic tests for disease prevention.

Dr Sanjeev K Chaudhry, CEO, Super Religare Laboratories
It is the prerogative of Finance Minister to bring diagnostics or any other industry under the purview of service tax. While the burden of this levy goes to the customers and patients, the anomaly is that the services of accredited and quality-rated labs will become more expensive for the consumers rather than the small street side labs.

Mr Sanjeev Saxena, CEO, Actis Biologics
It is a very interesting budget. From the biotech stand point, the industry needs decrease in import duties and other excise duties and taxes for equipment, which were not fulfilled. The budget encourages fund flow in the form of equity for non revenue generating companies involved in innovation.

Mr Apurva Shah, group MD, Veeda Clinical Research
The budget could have been a better one but it is consistent enough to maintain the growth rate. It will have no material effect on our industry as such. By showing his commitment to focus on R&D, the Finance Minister could have started moving our country in the direction of being a top tier country in the next decade.

Mr D Narain, India region lead, Monsanto (India)
Increasing the agricultural credit limit to $105 billion (4,75,000 crore) for farmers, the subsidy on interest for farmers who pay their loans on time and capital infusion to NABARD are progressive steps. The subsidy in the fertilizer sector and reduction in customs duty on micro-irrigation products will also boost agri-productivity.

Dr Jitendra N Verma, MD, Lifecare Innovations
In budget 2011, there is no specific mention of biotech sector. The funding to the biotech institutes should have been increased. The increase in R&D budget would certainly have helped. The increased minimum alternate tax (MAT) on special economic zones (SEZs) will demotivate the entrepreneurs and they will certainly face the adverse effects of this increase.

Dr Vijay Chandru, president, Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises
The ABLE is disappointed that the budget 2011 had nothing for the life sciences sector. We were looking for some positive indicators to spur growth of the sector and announcements to make diagnostics and drugs for life threatening diseases such as cancer affordable to all sections of the society. Even though there has been an increased outlay for agriculture, this is unlikely to have any significant impact on technology-driven agribiotechnology. It remains to be seen if the support for cold chain facilities have any direct benefit for the pharmaceutical and life science sector.

Dr Raju Barwale, managing director, Mahyco
The budget announcements have acknowledged the imperative need to maximize crop yields to meet the growing demand for food grains and ensure sustainable increase in agricultural productivity. As we step forward into the decade of innovation, players in agriculture industry and allied sectors are hopeful of achieving the indicated 5.4 percent sectoral growth and contributing to the country's economic growth.

The initiatives to raise the target credit flow and provide access to easy affordable credit will play a pivotal role in ensuring income security for the small and marginal farmers who own over 80 percent of the farm holdings in the country. Indian agriculture with the support of productivity stimulus outlay of $1.11 billion (5,000 crore), growing impetus for farm development, interest subsidy to farmers and support for food crop cultivation in rain fed areas, particularly focusing on eastern regions, will help bridge the gap between highest and lowest producers.

Yellow Rails and Rice Festival 2013

October 23, 2013 @ 6:00 pm - October 27, 2013 @ 5:00 pm

Designed with fun in mind, the festival’s primary goal is to provide participants a unique venue to view Yellow Rails while at the same time bringing birders and farmers together to realize the value to birds of the area’s “working wetlands.” The festival schedule is casual and participants can attend all field days (weather permitting) or come and go at their leisure. Leaders/facilitators are positioned at field sites and help participants spot birds as well as provide information or answer questions. In addition to visiting rice fields, participants can explore nearby birding areas, join trips to local points of interest, or venture farther afield to search for specialty birds in other Louisiana habitats, such as the pineywoods or Cameron Parish coast. Based in Jennings, participants are positioned in the heart of Cajun Country in Louisiana’s SW prairie region, an area known for great birding, local cuisine, and a rich history and culture.

Not again!!!!

Yesterday my CGM sensor started to bother me a little bit.  Considering what happened last time you would I think would have pulled it out right away.  I didn't.  But when it was so sore that it woke me up at 2 am, I took it right out.  Squinting as the bathroom light attacked my sleepy eyes, I saw this.

That's right, another welt. Not only did I see it, but I could feel it too.  Quite a lump was left behind where the sensor came out.  This picture was actually taken 12 hours after I took the sensor out.  It doesn't hurt any more, but it still looks bad.

 I have no idea what is going on with these sensors.  I've always been able to wear them for 6 to 8 days without a problem.  But these last two haven't even lasted four days.  Has Minimed changed how they make them?  Is there something new in them that my body can't seem to tolerate?  I plan to call and find out.  But I'd love to know if any other Minimed CGM wearers have been suddenly having problems too.  If you wear one, please comment and let me know if they are working fine for you or not.  I'm starting to get aggravated, but with the nasty low I had on Sunday I really don't want to go without my CGM.

  1. Karen-

    Ouch! That looks painful. I wish I had an answer for you:) I hope everything gets figured out.

  2. Um, I hate to break it to you, but the sensors kind of suck. But you knew that. Hang in there.

    Happy Turkey Day!
    - AmyT

  3. Yep. I only get welts when I leave them in for 6 days. If I take them out at day 3, there isn't anything wrong. I think my body just hates having things in my skin for a long time. I have the same problem with my sets lately. I used to be able to leave them in for 4-5 days without an issue. Now I can't go past 3 days without getting the uglies.

    But as far as how accurate the sensors are, I think they are great. :-)

  4. I've wondered if something has changed recently myself. I've had several terribly itchy/painful sensors from the latest box as well, and the adhesive doesn't seem to be sticking worth a crap. I don't know if it's just a coincidence or if they actually changed the manufacturing process. Or maybe like Amy said, the sensors just suck.

Thanks for your comment!

Default "Message displayed on locked text"

Please Login to Remove!

i've been on phone a good while with RIM (or maybe blackberry) because my chosen "Message displayed on lock screen" (name, work telno, NRF) will NOT appear when the screen locks. it will only appear when i reboot the handheld. the rep is great but he's put me on hold a couple of times trying to get some more help. i think i have them stumped! anyone had this issue? otherwise, love the phone. (and i was very glad to see in another thread blackberry may bring back the delete-email-only-on-device option i'm missing already.) OOPS, he couldn't figure out why my device is acting like this. (he tested two where he was and said they both worked fine. we agreed reinstalling OS made no sense given at&t shipped me the new q10 just the other day.) any thoughts/guesses appreciated! thx
