New Jersey Prescription Drug Price Registry

This article was written by in Consumer. 2 comments.

Over 100 of the most common prescription drugs are listed in the New Jersey Prescription Drug Price Registry, maintained by the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. This website lets you search by medication name, type, and form to find the prices for these drugs by zip code.

For example, if you search for 100 mg capsules of Celebrex near Princeton, New Jersey, you will find that Eckerd has the lowest reported price in the township of $2.28 per unit. This compares to the state-wide low of $1.88, the high of $8.33, and an average of $2.55.

The results also tell you that most consumers paid $2.47 per unit. In Princeton, your price will range from $2.28 as mentioned above all the way to $2.72 per unit. As you can see, where you shop makes a big difference.

If you’re in Camden and looking for a good time (with 100 mg of Viagra), you’ll pay as much as $16.35 for a 100 mg tablet, significantly lower than the state-wide high of $29.45.

I think it’s GREAT that folks in New Jersey can check drug prices online instead of calling around. I know that I get good prices when I use my RxDrugCard.

The topic of e-discovery continues to become an important area of enterprise risk management focus and is an area which our staff continues to monitor.  It is with that thought in mind, that brought our staff to recommend a recent posting by Aiith Samuel.

e-Discovery Trends Predicted for Prominence in 2013

The topic of e-Discovery remains a major point of discussion for enterprises who must operate in growing litigation driven, regulatory enforced commercial environments, facing ongoing concerns for cost reduction and finally trying to integrate the latest demand for social media and other cyber security related technologies into their work force.

E-Discovery — A Recent Court Decision to Adopt Default Standards is Made by the District of Delaware

Judging from several comments received, it appears that many of our readers are taking a “side lines” approach to just watching the e-discovery dynamic develop its own way to walk and talk as remains only a potential risk mitigation event for them as either individuals or as associates of the organizations for which they work. While there is nothing wrong with that approach, it behooves them to stay informed to stay current and “safe” and, to that point, our staff has made e-discovery a part of its “watch list” of internet content search efforts, so that as relevant material issues are … [Read more...]

E-Discovery Breakthrough — “Predictive Coding” Endorsed by Judge’s Ruling

In a recent landmark e-discovery decision, U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck of Manhattan federal court, cited a study that concluded technology-assisted review is more accurate -- and 50 times more economical -- than "exhaustive manual review." In his decision to endorse the “predictive coding” process, Judge Peck recalls that judges and parties have been concerned about being the first to produce discovery by way of predictive coding, for fear that the document production process wouldn't hold up to scrutiny. Plaintiffs have also worried that defendants would tamper with search parameters … [Read more...]

In light of the George Shirakawa scandal, here are a few of the other Bay Area public officials who have faced allegations of wrongdoing over the years:

Al Garza

Position: San Jose City Council member

Details: In 1979 Garza was indicted on bribery, conspiracy and perjury charges. He pleaded guilty to the charges in 1983 and was sentenced to jail for nearly three years for his role in accepting at least $6,000 of a $30,000 payoff to city employees in exchange for fixing a City Council zoning vote. The bribe came from an Alviso mobile home dealer to have his land approved for development by City Hall.

Tom Legan

Position: Santa Clara County supervisor

Details: In 1988, Legan was charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious conduct upon a child. A jury -- after changing their vote several times -- acquitted Legan of molesting his daughter. Legan maintained his innocence and said his daughter was being manipulated by his ex-wife in a vindictive plot for increased financial support. Legan lost a re-election bid in the June 1988 primary.

Gayle Bishop

Position: Contra Costa County Supervisor

Details: In 1997, a jury found Gayle Bishop guilty of forcing her aides to work on her re-election campaign and her private law practice on county time, and of lying about it while testifying before a county grand jury. Her conviction on five counts of misusing public funds and two counts of lying to a grand jury was upheld by an appeals court, and in 2001 Bishop was sentenced to 180 days in jail but was freed after 19 days and then placed on probation.

Terry Gregory

Position: San Jose City Council member

Details: In 2004 the council voted to censure Gregory for violating campaign contribution laws and taking thousands of dollars in wine, dinners and baseball tickets from local businessmen. After initially refusing to step down, Gregory resigned from office in January 2005 after agreeing to plead no contest to 11 misdemeanor counts, ranging from failing to report gifts to using his influence for personal gain.

Ron Gonzales

Position: San Jose mayor

Details: A 2005 civil grand jury found Gonzales and his top budget aide misled the public and council members in engineering an extra $11.25 million payment to Norcal Waste Systems from 2000 to 2004 to reimburse the company for labor costs in excess of its bid to provide garbage services. In June 2006 Gonzales was arrested on six felony counts, including receiving a bribe, falsifying a public record and misappropriating public funds. Gonzales refused to resign, despite urging from several council members. He was censured by the council in December 2006. He was prosecuted, but in 2007 a judge threw out all the charges against the former mayor.

The federal shutdown may be over (for now), but President Barack Obama's new health care law continues to be one of the nation's hottest topics. In this week's edition of Elevator Pitch, we ask health-tech investor Lisa Suennen what the law means for Silicon Valley.

Suennen is a co-founder of Psilos Group, a 15-year-old firm with some $600 million under management. Based in Corte Madera, she focuses on health care IT.

Q: How'd you get into this racket?

Lisa Suennen is a general partner at Psilos Group, a $580 million venture capital fund that invests in healthcare-related companies.
Lisa Suennen is a general partner at Psilos Group, a $580 million venture capital fund that invests in healthcare-related companies. ( courtesy of Psilos Group )

A: I worked at a health-care company (Merit Behavioral Care) that delivered and managed mental health and substance abuse care to over 35 million people. I joined when it was a startup and left when it had grown to $800 million a year in revenue, and we sold it to a competitor. The focus of the company was taking a nontraditional model that emphasized matching people to the right care at the right time, regardless of benefit design, etc., to minimize cost and maximize clinical outcome.

It worked. We saved our clients an average of 15 to 30 percent on these health care costs, and patients got better care. After we sold the company, we decided that this approach of aligning the incentives of patients, payers and providers could apply to all of medicine, not just behavioral health. Psilos was started by several of us who had worked together to implement that philosophy at a time when it was considered a particularly strange idea. Today it is the story on everyone's lips.

Q: What kinds of pitches are you looking for now?

A: We are particularly interested in products or services that reduce costs while improving quality. It is a uniquely transformative time in the health care system. The combination of stress on the economy, Obamacare and readily accessible cheap technology makes new solutions possible to help us remove the waste, error and poor quality that is too often the product of the system we have come to know.

Health care technology and service solutions that enable these great leaps forward in quality of care, value of care delivered and engagement of consumers in a changing system are very attractive to us. Also we want to see revenue-stage companies; we don't do Series A or early stage.

Q: What's the next big thing going to be?

A: In health care, it is going to be the dramatic changing role of the consumer with respect to purchasing health insurance and health services. In the past, people with health insurance had no role in purchasing it, by and large. Insurers sold to business and consumers spent the money, usually not caring much about how much things cost or what value was being had for money spent.

As the world shifts toward consumers purchasing through health insurance exchanges, combined with the significant cost-shifting that has happened as employers put more and more of the cost burden on employees, the insurers are going to have to think of themselves for the first time as business-to-consumer companies, not business-to-business companies. And the patients/consumers have to get savvier about how their own money is being spent, by having access to information about how much care costs and what they are getting for their money.

This opens up a whole world of products and services that facilitate the transition and, hopefully, get consumers to think more proactively about their health ... although that last part isn't easy.

Q: Talk about the challenges of health care investing. On the one hand, lots of VC firms have shut their life sciences practices in the recent past. On the other hand, it's been a good year for biotech IPOs.

A: Unfortunately, health care investing has become very unpopular among the institutional investors. They view it as very risky, given the changing market dynamics, reimbursement pressure, regulatory complexity, health reform etc. Their view has too often become, "Why take a chance on health care when the next Instagram may be around the corner?" It's a shame, because the type and amount of transformation going on in our health care system has created a rich opportunity for innovation to support those changes, and that innovation needs capital.

Fortunately, there are a number of strategic investors -- mainly companies in health care and adjacent sectors -- that see the opportunity and are helping fill the capital gap for an industry that represents 20 percent of our national economy. I simply cannot understand how people can avoid this large an opportunity out of lack of industry knowledge or out of fear of risk -- it is a profoundly missed opportunity.

Q: Is the president's new health care law good for Silicon Valley?

A: Absolutely yes. Obamacare, love it or hate it, has been a catalyst for changes we simply must make in our health care system if the nation is going to remain competitive as an international player. We cannot continue to spend money in the health care system the way we do and get very little to show for it.

We spend more than twice what the next closest nations do on health care and rank way down the list on actual health. It is time to bring efficiency, quality and consistency to this system that is so essential to our quality and way of life. Innovators with both health care and technology backgrounds have realized this, and increasingly so has everyone else engaged in the system.

This creates huge opportunities to build meaningful companies that deliver on the promise of health care value for dollars spent -- and that deliver outsize financial returns to investors who are brave enough to wade into the swirling health care sea.

After a week of talks, the NHL and its players association have drawn close to agreement on several key issues, remaining far apart in just one main area: players' contract rights.

That area remains thorny and could delay an end to the lockout, which reached its 57th day Sunday and concluded with gloomy news briefings from NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and union executive director Donald Fehr. The sides remain divided over when players can become eligible for free agency, among other contract issues.

But the sides have made far more progress toward ending the lockout than is widely believed, according to a member of the union delegation. "We're basically there" in several areas, the union delegate said.

Fehr and commissioner Gary Bettman met Sunday at the NHL office in New York along with their deputies for less than two hours. Afterward, the delegations left for Toronto and Monday's Hall of Fame induction ceremony where

Adam Oates, Pavel Bure, Mats Sundin and Joe Sakic will be honored.

Daly told reporters that "contract rights issues are very important to the clubs" and that because of the wide gulf between the two sides on those issues, "I don't know where to go."

Fehr said he didn't "see a path to an agreement" on contract rights.

They are fairly close on the critical issue of honoring existing contracts, the union delegate added.

Under the CBA that expired Sept. 15, players whose contracts had expired were eligible for free agency if they were 27 or had seven years of NHL service. The league is seeking to raise those thresholds to 28 and eight years of experience.

The union delegate characterized the league's stance on player contract issues as "very draconian" and said, "We're very, very far apart" in that area.

The lockout has caused the NHL to call off 327 regular-season games.

Robbie Keane had two goals and an assists, and Los Angeles beat visiting Seattle 3-0 to take a commanding lead in the first leg of the MLS Western Conference finals. The defending champion Galaxy will head to Seattle next Sunday in prime position to earn its third MLS Cup appearance in four years. The Sounders must win by four goals to advance to the franchise's first MLS Cup final.

  • Andre Hainault, Will Bruin and Kofi Sarkodie had second-half goals to give Houston 3-1 win over D.C. United in the first leg of the Eastern Conference finals. The Dynamo extended its home unbeaten streak to 30 games, dating to June 18, 2011, when it lost to Columbus. Next Sunday's game is in Washington.

    Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic advanced to Monday's title match of the ATP finals in London. Federer, a six-time champion at the season-ending event, beat Andy Murray 7-6 (5), 6-2 in O2 Arena. Djokovic rallied to beat Juan Martin del Potro 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.

  • Argentine Lionel Messi surpassed Pele's milestone of goals in a calendar year, scoring Nos. 75 and 76 to lead Barcelona to a 4-2 soccer win at Mallorca in the Spanish league. Pele had 75 goals for Brazil and Santos in 1958. Gerd Mueller scored a record 85 goals in 1972 for West Germany and Bayern Munich.

  • Missy Franklin, in her first major swim meet since the London Olympics, won the 200-meter backstroke and 100 freestyle on the final night of the Minneapolis Grand Prix. The Cal commit finished the meet with five victories.

  • Will Grier passed for a national record 837 yards and 10 touchdowns in his high school team's 104-80 win in a North Carolina semifinal playoff game Friday. The Davidson Day junior quarterback surpassed the mark of 764 yards set by Pacific Palisades' David Koral in 2000. Grier has thrown 64 TD passes this year.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Louisiana Fried Turkey Breast

6 servings

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 turkey breast (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), non self-basting
  • Peanut oil, as needed (see Ingredient Note)

In a small bowl mix salt, pepper, onion and garlic powders and red pepper together.

Rinse the turkey breast well with cold water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels, including the inside cavity. Coat all surfaces of the breast with the seasonings mixture. Place the turkey in a basket or on a rack, neck down.

Place the OUTDOOR gas burner on a level dirt or grassy area. Never fry a turkey indoors, in a garage or in any structure attached to a building. Do not fry on wood decks, which could catch fire, or concrete, which could be stained by the oil. (Safety tip: have a fire extinguisher nearby for added safety.)

Add oil to a 7 to 10-gallon pot with a basket or rack. At the medium-high setting, heat the oil to 375 degrees F, (depending on the amount of oil, outside temperature and wind conditions, this should take about 30+ minutes).

When the oil temperature registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer, slowly lower the turkey into the hot oil. The level of the oil will rise due to the frothing caused by the moisture from the turkey but will stabilize in about one minute. (Safety tips: to prevent burns from the splattering oil wear oven mitts/gloves, long sleeves, heavy shoes and even glasses. It is wise to have two people lowering and raising the turkey.)

Immediately check the oil temperature and increase the flame so the oil temperature is maintained at 350 degrees F. If the temperature drops to 340 degrees F or below, oil will begin to seep into the turkey.

Fry about 4 to 5 minutes per pound. Stay with the cooker at all times as the heat must be regulated.

When cooked to 170 degrees F in the breast, carefully remove the turkey from the hot oil. Allow the turkey to drain for a few minutes. (Safety tip: allow the oil to cool completely before storing or disposing.)

Remove turkey from the rack and place on a serving platter. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Ingredient Note: Use only oils with high smoke points, such as peanut, canola or safflower oil. To determine the correct amount of oil, place the turkey breast in the pot before adding seasoning and add water until turkey is covered. Take turkey breast out of the water before marking the oil level. Measure the amount of water and use a corresponding amount of oil. Dry the pot thoroughly of all water.

Flea Market Cargo Bikes

Flea Market Felixs Shop
Time for the annual kids flea market in our neighbourhood. Once again, cargo bikes feature prominently in transporting Felix's Stuff To Sell to the square, as well as in using the bikes as part of the stand.

You need a Bullitt cargo bike! It weighs only 45lb -- as much as an old 3-speed!

Eric got some pretty good results in stripping the Tiny1 Linux kernel
down a few years ago. 220K compressed and 371K uncompressed.

Removing all the error messages from the kernel removed about 300k from
it alone.

Korea plans to collect collagen for cosmetics from jellyfish

By Andrew MCDOUGALL , 24-Aug-2012
Last updated on 31-Aug-2012 at 00:14 GMT2012-08-31T00:14:06Z

Korea plans to collect collagen for cosmetics from jellyfish

The government in South Korea has revealed a novel plan to fight the on-going jellyfish the country suffers from: to use their collagen extracts in cosmetic products.

According to the Korean Herald, the plan was unveiled this week, and the government has asked local researchers to look into ways of carrying it out.

The Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries explains that it will try to eliminate the on-going problems Koreans have with jellyfish, by getting scientists to find ways to extract collagen from the sea creature and use it in cosmetics.

Research underway

The researchers chosen for this task were from the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute who stated that research to find a way to carry out the plan, was already underway.

“We have begun a project to extract collagen from jellyfish and use them in cosmetics. This will be an effective way to use the jellyfish once only considered as a nuisance,” Lim Chi-won, senior researcher at the institute, told the Korea Times.

It is not the first time this idea has been looked into; having explored the possibilities in 2007, the plan was then scrapped due to lack of interest.

Two birds, one stone

However, if the research is a success and becomes commercially viable this time, then the fishing industry in Korea will benefit, not only from sales, but from having the local ‘nuisance’ removed from its seas.

Jellyfish suddenly appears in the summer and autumn off the national shores, and is reportedly doing harm on national fishing and the tourism industry.

The large appearance and weight of the jellyfish often destroys fishing gears or impairs the quality of fishery products, as well as causes social problems like shock and skin damages, when contacting with fishermen and beach bathers.

Other countries going through similar struggles are China and Japan. In Japan, the government is urging increasing public consumption of jellyfish by-products such as edibles and cosmetics.

However, the same has not been tried in Korea, as the Nomura jellyfish has a strong flavour and is highly toxic, making it difficult to market.

New Batman Vs. Superman Rumors Include Beginnings For Batman & Wonder Woman

With the first look at Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne landing online recently, there is a new batch of rumors for Batman Vs. Superman to go with it.

The rumors have to do with how Superman will possibly be treated in the movie, as well as Batman and Wonder Woman's beginnings.

Regarding Superman, Batman-On-Film is stating the character will be treated badly in the movie - an "anti-Superman theme" - with people actually protesting against him.

For Batman, Bad Ass Digest is stating that the character will be in his 50s, and that Batman has existed for 30 years. It's said in those 30 years, Batman is still is considered an "urban legend, a creature of the night," and that he has never had his picture taken. The Batcave is also said to include a memorial centering around a ragged Robin costume.

For Wonder Woman, it's also said she has been in operation for a number of years preceding the movie and just as secretive.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" has a May 6, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

View Full Version : HELP!!! female version of sephiroth

09-02-2003, 12:07 AM
so i got over the whole 'should-i-be-so and so' phase, and realised im gonna do something really interesting next year. Its been done, but i plan to perfect this beyond comprehension. I am going to be making a super sexy female version of sephiroth. Stiletto boots, cleavage, etc. My only dilema, is the armor. I have absolutely no time to go through the internet and look for peoples plans on how they made theirs, so i am begging all of you who can help to pleeeease help a poor grl out!!! i just need to know how to make sephiroths armor, what material its made out of, how to mold it etc. I greatly appreciate any little details i can get. :D

09-02-2003, 07:57 AM
Try using craft foam. It will probably take you a few tries to get it right, but if you use craft foam it'll be light, and relatively inexpensive. You might also want to try a particular type of paper mache'... I can't remember what it was called, but it's a little stronger than newsppaer goo: it can be sanded and painted and such.

Hope this helps! And, best of luck!

09-03-2003, 12:47 AM
thank uuu i will check around some larger craft stores and see if anyone knows what else i can use. ive heard people mention some plastic sheets that can be melted at home and molded while warm... i dont know where to look for that or what its called. Please keep the info coming tho, thankiez ^-^

@ Liliana: Well my friend said she might be able to make a Locke by then and FinalEvangelion's friend already agreed to let me help him make a Shadow. So that's two more. I think we might try to see if we can see if a Celes or a Kefka would be willing to meet us there for the shoot. Ahhh if only. And yeah we were pretty bummed that we forgot it but we were pretty crammed in the car so maybe it's a good thing we did forget it! :P

Doctor Who: The Fourth Doctor Costumes

For this costume I made the 13-foot-long scarf out of thrift store sweaters (see detailed instructions below), dyed the hat brown and attached a hat band, made the necktie, and restructured the collar of the button-up shirt.

Doctor Who is a British science fiction series that first began in 1963. The Doctor is a Time Lord who travels through time and space with various companions. So far there have been eleven Doctors (each a regeneration of the previous), and my favorite is the fourth Doctor (Tom Baker). The scarf I made is based off the one worn the fourth Doctor. This oversized, multicolored scarf is definitely the most recognizable piece of his wardrobe.

Materials for the scarf:
-7 sweaters, one for each color
-sewing machine
-hand sewing needle
-embroidery floss

I know nothing about knitting. This is the way most people make their Doctor Who scarves. So, I decided to do some upcycling and make my scarf out of sweaters from a thrift store. I made the original Doctor Who scarf that was worn by the fourth doctor in seasons 12-14.

First came research. ( This site is a godsend. I downloaded the pattern for the original scarf (seasons 12-14) from this website. I also looked at many pictures of the scarf, both the from the tv show and in real-life, to get an idea of the colours I needed.

With multiple sheets of color pictures in hand, I hit the thrift stores. I looked for mens’ sweaters since they tend to contain more material. There are seven different colors need for this scarf. The knit pattern I was looking for was one that had small vertical rows on the outside that almost looked braided. I tried to maintain continuity by choosing sweaters with approximately the same size rows or the same knit, otherwise it looked goofy on the side I was using. On the real scarf the rows appear horizontal and the rows on my sweaters were vertical, so I ended up using the reverse side of the sweater as the “right” or outward side of the scarf. I had to search many different thrift stores to find all the colors in the knits I wanted. Chief among these stores were Savers, Goodwill, and Ragstock. I wasn’t particular about the content of the sweaters being all the same; some were cotton, others were synthetic. I was more concerned about color.

Once I printed the pattern off I found that the measurements for each color were all in knitting rows, and not inches. I added up all of the rows in the scarf. I knew that the scarf had to be 13ft long (or 156”), so I divided the total number of rows by 156”, and came out with a conversion of about 8.06 rows/inch.

For this scarf I used a 1/2” seam allowance. I used a zig-zag stitch for the entire scarf because the thread is less likely to break as the material stretches. Each section I cut 13 inches wide. The first few seams I sewed turned out squiggly-looking. As anybody who has sewn with knits knows, they can be a pain. The knits stretch as the fabric goes under the presser foot and when the fabric relaxes as it comes out the other end, the squiggly seams appear on the right side of the fabric. After a bit of pondering and experimentation I figured out how to make it less noticeable. As I sewed instead of letting just the presser foot do the work, I sort of forced the fabric through by squishing it together. It doesn’t totally eradicate the problem but it certainly lessens the effect. I further flattened the seams using a technique known as blocking which will be explained later. Having figured that out, I sewed row after row after row after row. FOR-E-VER. The scarf got so long that it became quite a pain to haul back and forth from my pinning table to the sewing machine and back again. I did run into a few material issues; some sweaters contained more material than others and the scarf pattern consisted of more of some colors than others. Basically, I ran out of sweater in one or two colors. So, I substituted a more abundant color when I ran out of other ones, or scrapped that band all together; both of which I hated doing because I feel it’s not staying true to the original. But, I guess it makes it unique. Oh, I should mention that I made two lengths of scarf so that I could sew them together and then flip them right-side-out. Everything was done twice. I didn’t really cut out the bands ahead of time but did it as I went along, which worked out well because by the end I was sort of “rationing” the fabric.

Blocking is a technique that I am new to but it came in handy for this project. Blocking is the process by which you sort of stretch a knit fabric while it’s wet and iron it to make it lay flat. I spritzed each seam with water and sort of stretched it to open the seam. Then I laid a thin piece of cloth over the seam and spritzed that with water as well. Then I ironed down the seams using a medium heat setting (since the content of my sweater pieces was different I didn’t want to melt any synthetic fabrics, even with a layer of cloth in between). I was extremely pleased with the results of this technique—no more squiggles!

After many, many rows of stitching I finally ended up with two identical 13-foot-long pieces of scarf. First I laid the pieces one over the other, right sides together. I must have been looking at a different season’s scarf to begin with because I thought the scarf needed to be 12 inches wide but I guess it was actually 11 inches. I knew that if I just sewed down each side that the scarf wouldn’t turn out to be 11 inches wide just because my measuring is not perfect and the material stretches. So what I did was to make a chalk mark down the very center of the scarf. Then I made parallel lines that were 5.5 inches to each side of the center line, and that became my stitching line. I also used a zig-zag stitch to sew around the perimeter. I tried to pin very carefully along the stitching line so that all the seams lined up properly—and believe me there are a lot of seams, and therefore a lot of chances to screw up on them. If I was way off I just seam-ripped that section and re-stitched it. I left about half of one end open to turn the scarf inside out. But before turning it inside out I again blocked the perimeter seam. After I turned the scarf right side out I sewed the opening shut by hand. Using the cloth again I ironed down the perimeter seam.

The tassels on either end of the scarf consist of all seven colours. Normally these would be made out of whatever yarn you’re using to make the scarf but since I wasn’t using yarn I improvised with embroidery floss. I brought samples of all the sweaters with me to the fabric store and matched them as best I could (kudos for thinking ahead!). I bought two skeins of embroidery floss per color, one for each side. Using my somewhat elementary math skills I calculated that I could cut the floss into 2 x 10-inch pieces for each tassel. I wound the floss around a 10 inch long piece of cardboard and then cut the top and the bottom. I made 15 tassels for each side. The next challenge was how to figure out how to get the tassels through the fabric. All those pieces (14 per tassel) wouldn’t fit through even my biggest needle. Again improvising, I first made a hole where I wanted the tassel with a sewing awl so that I didn’t have to break any of the fibers of the scarf. Then I made a loop out of fishing line and threaded the group of embroidery floss through it, then poked the tail of the loop through the hole I just made in the scarf to pull the floss through. I had to cut the fishing line and slip the ends of the floss through the loop on the other side, if that makes any sense. You can look at the website to figure out the whole looping/tying bit.

This hat was originally a tan color and I needed it a deep shade of chocolate brown. I spray-dyed the hat using Fiebling's Color Spray in dark brown. I took some brown grograin ribbon and hot-glued it to the base of the brim, and made a bow at the side.

This necktie or cravat I made out of a maroon colored satin sheet. I used the wrong side of the satin and sewed a three inch wide tube of fabric, then turned it inside out and finished off the open end by hand.

The collar on this costume has to stand up, and when I did that with this shirt the two ends of the collar overlapped and didn't look at all like a shirt the Doctor would wear. I removed the collar and stitched the ends at a different angle, then re-attached it.

Thanks for checking it out!

Tear Down the Cathedrals and Replace Them with Ruins
Proposals for Rationally Improving the City of Paris

The Lettrists present at the September 26 meeting jointly proposed the following solutions to the various urbanistic problems that came up in discussion. They stress that no constructive action was considered, since they all agreed that the most urgent task is to clear the ground.

The subways should be opened at night after the trains have stopped running. The corridors and platforms should be poorly lit, with dim lights flickering on and off intermittently.

The rooftops of Paris should be opened to pedestrian traffic by means of modifications to fire-escape ladders and construction of bridges where necessary. Public gardens should remain open at night, unlit. (In a few cases, a steady dim illumination might be justified on psychogeographical grounds.)

Street lamps should all be equipped with switches so that people can adjust the lighting as they wish.

With regard to churches, four different solutions were proposed, all of which were considered defensible until appropriate experimentation can be undertaken, which should quickly demonstrate which is the best.

G.-E. Debord argued for the total destruction of religious buildings of all denominations, leaving no trace and using the sites for other purposes.

Gil J. Wolman proposed that churches be left standing but stripped of all religious content. They should be treated as ordinary buildings, and children should be allowed to play in them.

Michèle Bernstein suggested that churches be partially demolished, so that the remaining ruins give no hint of their original function (the Tour Jacques on Boulevard de Sébastopol being an unintentional example). The ideal solution would be to raze churches to the ground and then build ruins in their place. The first method was proposed purely for reasons of economy.

Lastly, Jacques Fillon favored the idea of transforming churches into houses of horror (maintaining their current ambience while accentuating their terrifying effects).

Everyone agreed that aesthetic objections should be rejected, that admirers of the portals of Chartres should be silenced. Beauty, when it is not a promise of happiness, must be destroyed. And what could be more repugnant representations of unhappiness than such monuments to everything in the world that remains to be overcome, to the many aspects of life that remain inhuman?

Train stations should be left as they are. Their rather poignant ugliness contributes to the feeling of transience that makes these buildings mildly attractive. Gil J. Wolman proposed removing or scrambling all information regarding departures (destinations, times, etc.) in order to facilitate dérives. After a lively debate, those opposing this motion retracted their objections and it was wholeheartedly approved. It was also agreed that background noise in the stations should be intensified by broadcasting recordings from many other stations, as well as from certain harbors.

Cemeteries should be eliminated. All corpses and related memorials should be totally destroyed, leaving no ashes and no remains. (It should be noted that these hideous remnants of an alienated past constitute a subliminal reactionary propaganda. Is it possible to see a cemetery and not be reminded of Mauriac, Gide or Edgar Faure?)

Museums should be abolished and their masterpieces distributed to bars (Philippe de Champaigne’s works in the Arab cafés of rue Xavier-Privas; David’s Sacre in the Tonneau on rue Montagne-Geneviève).

Everyone should have free access to the prisons. They should be available as tourist destinations, with no distinction between visitors and inmates. (To spice things up, monthly lotteries might be held to see which visitor would win a real prison sentence. This would cater to those imbeciles who feel an imperative need to undergo uninteresting risks: spelunkers, for example, and everyone else whose craving for play is satisfied by such paltry pseudogames.)

Buildings whose ugliness cannot be put to any good use (such as the Petit or Grand Palais) should make way for other constructions. Statues that no longer have any meaning, and whose possible aesthetic refurbishings would inevitably be condemned by history, should be removed. Their usefulness could be extended during their final years by changing the inscriptions on their pedestals, either in a political sense (The Tiger Called Clemenceau on the Champs Élysées) or for purposes of disorientation (Dialectical Homage to Fever and Quinine at the intersection of Boulevard Michel and rue Comte, or The Great Depths in the cathedral plaza on the Île de la Cité).

In order to put an end to the cretinizing influence of current street names, names of city councilors, heroes of the Resistance, all the Émiles and Édouards (55 Paris streets), all the Bugeauds and Gallifets, and in general all obscene names (rue de l’Évangile) should be obliterated.

In this regard, the appeal launched in Potlatch #9 for ignoring the word "saint" in place names is more pertinent than ever.

"Projet d’embellissements rationnels de la ville de Paris" originally appeared in Potlatch #23 ( October 13, 1955). Translated by Ken Knabb.

Garth Brooks Launches Digital Music Service, GhostTunes

Garth Brooks has joined the digital music world with the launch of GhostTunes, a digital service he co-founded and which is currently in beta.

The Digital Rights Management-free setup will—like iTunes and Amazon have since 2009—allow its users to put music files on their preferred devices, with one key difference: this site has Garth’s entire catalog, which was previously unavailable for digital download.

And as a pretty amazing introductory carrot to bring people in, Garth’s entire catalog—plus two upcoming albums—are all available as a bundle for the low introductory price of $29.99.

Additionally, users can play their music purchases directly from the site, where it is stored in a virtual locker. GhostTunes also has a plethora of other artists’ albums available for purchase, including Brad Paisley’s forthcoming Moonshine in the Trunk and Miranda Lambert’s Platinum.

Garth’s run of 10 shows at AllState Arena near Chicago starts tonight, Sept. 4.

Cunningham's in Towson to open Nov. 22

Towson will be getting a heavily anticipated new restaurant on Nov. 22. That's the date the Bagby Restaurant Group has set as the opening date for its fourth restaurant, Cunningham's.

Cunningham's, which will open in the newly renovated Towson City Center, follows Bagby's other restaurants, all of which are located in the Inner Harbor's Harbor East development, Bagby Pizza, Ten Ten American Bistro and Fleet Street Kitchen.

“We’re taking a fresh approach to the American grill,” said Chris Becker, the restaurant group’s chief operations officer and executive chef. “We’re going to continue [the grill] concept but elevate it with fresh produce from our farm and from other area producers. It won’t be overbearing heavy side dishes and no thick emulsified vinaigrettes.”

Back in August, The Bagby Group announced the hiring of Chris Allen, formerly of Philadelphia's Farmer's Cabinet and The Boilermaker, as it executive chef.

The restaurant's menu will feature Mid-Atlantic cuisine, particularly items prepared with its wood-fired grill and brick oven. Following the opening of Cunningham's, the Bagby Restaurant Group will open a second eatery in Towson City Center, a casual spot named Cunningham's Cafe.

Amenities at Cunningham's include a “pastoral wood and stone bar” and a wrap-around patio, with seating both at tables and in lounge settings.

“[Cunningham’s is] designed for someone who wants to go out and have a nice bite to eat,” Becker said. “And also for anyone who wants that nice, full dining experience.”

Shopping malls' greatest movie moments

Shopping centers have always been about more than shopping. Before the rise of Internet-based social interaction, malls were a workplace, gathering place and pop culture petri dish for the better part of two generations. That made them the perfect backdrops for the kinds of films that filled the '80s and '90s — for the most part geographically ambiguous, lost-in-the-crowd tales of teen angst, budding (or imploding) romance, the everyman chafing under the yoke of social hierarchy and the bullies that come with it. In short, the mall setting was a grown-up version of the childhood playground — and, perhaps most important, a place that would look fairly familiar to everyone.

Beverly Center

Few malls have racked up as many screen credits as the beige behemoth of Beverly Boulevard has since it opened in 1982. And, unlike many malls featured on film, it usually plays itself. It appeared in 1991's "Scenes From a Mall," serving as the very recognizable set piece behind the unraveling marriage of Woody Allen and Bette Midler. Six years later, it played its second-largest role, fitted out as an emergency triage and command center threatened by geysers of molten lava (and Tommy Lee Jones' scowl) in 1997's "Volcano."

Other movies with scenes set in or filmed at the Beverly Center include "Body Double," "Ruthless People" and a 1985 horror film called "Chopping Mall."

Beverly Center, 8500 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles

Del Amo Fashion Center

Its food court made a cameo in 1983's "Valley Girls," and it served as the backdrop to Billy Bob Thornton's 2003 mall-robbing, Father-Christmas-as-con-man movie "Bad Santa." But the most high-profile role for the sprawling Torrance shopping center — once the largest indoor mall in the world — was in the 1997 Quentin Tarantino film "Jackie Brown," an adaptation of Elmore Leonard's novel "Rum Punch."

When the movie director changed the book's Miami locale to the South Bay, he set several key scenes in the Del Amo Fashion Center and others in the parking lot outside.

Del Amo Fashion Center, 3525 Carson St., Torrance

Dixie Square Mall

You may not be familiar with the name, but you've more than likely seen the car chase that sets the pace for John Landis' 1980 movie "The Blues Brothers." The mall in Harvey, Ill., opened in 1966, closed in 1978 but lives on in a scene that starts with the Bluesmobile crashing in through a Toys R Us, and ends 21/2 minutes later as it exits the shopping center through a J.C. Penney. The wild ride in between is punctuated by calm observations from Jake and Elwood Blues — "Disco pants and haircuts," "This mall has everything" and "The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year!"

Although it has been closed for more than 30 years, the crumbling façade of the building still stands, and has long attracted curious movie fans. But not much longer, according to a city representative, who said demolition is finally scheduled to begin in mid-December.

Dixie Square Mall, 151st Street to 154th Street and Dixie Highway, Harvey, Ill.

Metrocenter Mall

Although it's referred to as the San Dimas Mall in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (1989), this Phoenix mall served as the setting for the interior shopping center scenes during which the duo introduces their posse of historical greats — including Sigmund Freud, Abraham Lincoln, Socrates and Beethoven — to the place where, as Bill puts it, "the people of today's world hang out."

If you haven't seen it lately, it's worth watching just to see Genghis Khan go berserk in a sporting goods store, beheading a mannequin with a metal baseball bat before trying to escape on a skateboard. And don't even get us started about Joan of Arc commandeering an exercise class.

Metrocenter Mall, 9617 Metro Parkway West, Phoenix

Monroeville Mall

George Romero's use of this shopping center east of Pittsburgh as the setting for his 1978 horror flick "Dawn of the Dead" established the mall as the go-to destination for legions of zombies for years to come. Although it has played a bit part in other kinds of movies since (including 1983's "Flashdance," which includes shots of the ice-skating rink, and Kevin Smith's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" in 2008), it's best-known for its connection to all things zombie and has even spawned an annual Zombie Fest, which takes place each October in nearby Pittsburgh.

Monroeville Mall, Business Route 22, Monroeville, Penn.

Puente Hills Mall

Exterior shots of the Twin Pines/Lone Pine Mall for 1985's "Back to the Future" were taken at this Southern California shopping center, with Christopher Lloyd's Doc Brown using one of the mall parking lots as a place to test drive his time-traveling DeLorean.

Ever since, the site has held a special place in the hearts of the film franchise's fans. Last year the mall celebrated the movie's 25th anniversary with a week-long celebration and the dedication of a memorial plaque. Movie crews were back on the scene this summer — with the aforementioned DeLorean — to make a short film that would accompany the recent charity auction of Nike shoes inspired by the self-lacing pair worn by Michael J. Fox's Marty McFly.

Puente Hills Mall 1600 Azusa Ave., City of Industry

Sherman Oaks Galleria

Most of the off-campus action in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982) takes place at the fictional Ridgemont Mall, the exterior of which was represented by the now-renovated Santa Monica Place. The interiors, though, were set at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, which rivals the Beverly Center for the number of times it's popped up in popular culture. The galleria's screen credits include "Commando," "Innerspace" and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" as well as exterior shots for 1983's "Valley Girl."

Alas, like many aging screen icons, the shopping center has been so thoroughly updated in the intervening years it bears little resemblance to its former self.

Sherman Oaks Galleria, 15301-15303 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks

Westside Pavilion

In 1990's "Clueless," Alicia Silverstone's Cher Horowitz tells us that when she feels "impotent and out of control" she has to find sanctuary in a place where she can gather her thoughts and regain her strength. Cut to the façade of the Westside Pavilion, to which Cher and her crew decamp to get their shop on.

Westside Pavilion, 10800 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles

Burlington Mall

When Kevin James rolled his Segway into cinema infamy as "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" (2009) the interior shots were filmed at Burlington Mall, with two other Massachusetts malls — South Shore Plaza in Braintree and Northshore Mall in Peabody — serving as additional locations.

UCA set to face top seed in region

AP sports writer

LITTLE ROCK (AP) - Central Arkansas overcame three first-quarter interceptions to win its Division II playoff game against Albany State last weekend.

Coach Clint Conque says the Bears will need a better start this week, when they face top-seeded Presbyterian.

"You turn the football over, they're going to make you pay," Conque said. "So certainly, protecting the football is a big emphasis for us."

Presbyterian (10-1) received a first-round bye after winning the South Atlantic Conference with a 7-0 mark. The South Carolina school - like Central Arkansas - has won seven straight entering the game.

The Blue Hose are led by quarterback Zach Ellis, who has thrown 27 touchdowns and only seven interceptions this season.

Central Arkansas (10-2) won 28-20 last week. Redshirt freshman Nathan Brown, a Russellville native, threw three early interceptions, but the Bears trailed only 7-0 after the first quarter. Central Arkansas, seeded fifth in the Southeast region, went ahead 21-14 in the third on Brown's 2-yard pass to Austin Cade on a fake field goal.

"We had just gotten off to such an atrocious start early in the game with three drives, three turnovers," Conque said. "When we got back to playing our brand of football, you could see the ebb of the game start to turn our way."

This week's game will be televised by Comcast-Charter Sports South. Central Arkansas is the only Division II team in the state still playing. Arkansas and Arkansas State (I-A) both have two regular-season games remaining, and Arkansas-Pine Bluff (I-AA) plays its finale at Texas Southern on Friday night.

Central Arkansas is one of two Gulf South Conference teams remaining in the postseason. Sixth-seeded North Alabama has a second-round game this weekend at second-seeded North Carolina Central. North Alabama beat third-seeded Valdosta State, another GSC team, 40-13 in the first round.

Valdosta State, the defending national champion, was the last team to beat Central Arkansas. The Bears lost to the Blazers on the road in September. Central Arkansas bounced back to beat North Alabama in double overtime the next week - but after that, the Bears won their next five games by an average of 31.2 points.

Conque was happy his team prevailed in a close game last week.

"We've been in tough venues all year - on the road. We've had some exciting games, double-overtime games, so our team has been used to playing close, hard-fought games," he said. "With that being said, we'd not had one in a while."

The Bears could end up in another one this week - Conque is impressed with Presbyterian.

"Extremely well coached, very disciplined," he said. "Very, very hard-playing football team."

License restrictions save teen drivers
by Sam Smith
08:50 AM, Friday, January 10 2014 | 1842 views | 0 0 comments | 3 3 recommendations | email to a friend | print
As parents, is there any moment when we feel quite as vulnerable as when we turn over the keys to a newly licensed teen driver for the first time? I’ve done it twice — with sons who are now in college — and the memories are still fresh in my mind. I know from personal experience that there is no time a driver is as likely to end up in a crash as during those first few months behind the wheel. Driving is a difficult skill to learn and with as many distractions as our kids face today, it gets more challenging with every crank of the engine. Each week we treat several teen drivers in the Emergency Department at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. At least once a week, I get a call late at night — well past the point at which a teenager should be out driving — to assist with a patient who needs surgical care after a crash.

Every day of the week we see the typical fender benders, usually among 16-year-olds getting out of school, finishing up practice and cruising home faster than the limit allows. Several of these kids end up with some fractures and lacerations — but they’re the lucky ones. Arkansas’ rate of deaths from vehicle-related crashes is more than 40 percent higher than the national average. During the last 10 years, an average of 600 Arkansans have died on an annual basis from motor vehicle-related crashes, and many of those fatalities were among teen drivers. Luckily, in 2009 our state legislature decided to do something about that. They passed the graduated driver license (GDL) law, which places several restrictions on young drivers, all of which are already helping reduce Arkansas teens’ risks of crashes and fatalities.

It’s hard to argue with a law that is already credited with saving the lives of 32 teens a year in Arkansas. The Arkansas Center for Health Improvement (ACHI) says that’s how big the drop in teen driving deaths was the year after the GDL law went into effect. They estimate a 59 percent decrease in the number of teens killed on Arkansas roads between 2008 and 2010.

The GDL law works to protect teens by creating a safer environment for them to hone their skills. It does this by offering licenses at three levels.

The learner’s permit is for youth 14-15 and allows them to drive only while accompanied by an adult at least 21 years of age. To upgrade to the next level, an intermediate license, those with a learner’s permit must not have any serious traffic violations or accidents in the previous six months.

Once teens achieve an intermediate license, they can drive without an adult, but they are not allowed to have more than one passenger under the age of 21 who isn’t related to them. In addition, teens with an intermediate license can’t drive between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. unless they are going to or from a school- or church-related event, work or are in an emergency situation. These restrictions have helped eliminate two of the biggest risks that teens face behind the wheel: distractions and exhaustion.

The data from ACHI show that these two components of the law have helped us make strides in saving lives. They recognized a significant decrease in crashes by number of occupants after the law went into effect. In addition, ACHI’s research indicates that between 2008 and 2010, fatal crashes involving teen drivers during those late hours of 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. dropped by 76 percent. Once they turn 18, drivers can apply for a regular, unrestricted license as long as they don’t have any major traffic violations during the previous year.

Parents can also make a big difference in how safely their teens drive. Talk to your teens about why they should wear their seat belts. I always tell families that I would much rather repair something hurt in the abdomen from a seat belt than support a patient as they try and recover from a severe head injury due to not wearing a seat belt. According to the Injury Prevention Center at ACH, in 2008 more than half of the teens killed in motor vehicle crashes weren’t wearing their seatbelts. Those with younger kids can model that behavior for them now and set a good example by buckling up on every car ride.

Also remind your teen to put down the cell phone when the car is on. You want their eyes on the road and their hands on the steering wheel. This means don’t call and don’t text, e-mail or use apps while driving. All teens in Arkansas are restricted from using cell phones behind the wheel except in emergency situations. And it should go without saying that no one should ever sit in the driver’s seat if he or she has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs. Nearly a quarter of the car crashes that result in teen deaths involve alcohol. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Many parents don’t realize that their kids have to comply with the graduated driver license restrictions when they start driving. There have been complaints that the guidelines are inconvenient for parents.

But really — isn’t a minor inconvenience worth it when the lives are of 32 teens are saved each year? I certainly think so.

Kwanzaa celebrates cultures

A seven-day celebration of community, faith, values

Today, the third in this year's seven-day celebration of Kwanzaa, is focused on "Ujima" or collective work and responsibility.

"To me, it is a remembrance but also a commitment, and so I just come to renew the seven principles and commit myself to be closer to God spiritually," said Daphne Robinson.

The Evansville woman said she uses spirituality to help the community, and finds celebration of Kwanzaa a way to "refresh my commitment, to energize myself and to help me be a better person."

Speaking just before the 2008 Kwanzaa Celebration at the African American Museum on Saturday, Robinson said Kwanzaa relates to the Bible, black heritage, celebrating the harvest and being thankful, and as a reminder to do better the next year.

"We often times forget, and so this forces us to recommit and to remind ourselves of what we are celebrating and how we have been blessed," she said.

The remaining six principles of Kwanzaa include: "Umoja" (unity), "Kujichagulia" (self-determination), "Ujamaa" (cooperative economics), "Nia" (purpose), "Kuumba" (creativity) and "Imani" (faith). For about 10 years, Brenda Murry-Pittman organized Kwanzaa celebrations at the Evansville Museum and Joshua Academy after finding no observances here when she returned from Washington, D.C., where she had lived for several years.

Kwanzaa is a celebration of community, faith and values, she said. The word means "first fruits of the harvest." It originated with Dr. Maulana Karenga at California State University in the 1970s.

"This is wonderful," Murry-Pittman said. "It has just spread across the country."

Kwanzaa also promotes a focus on honoring elders and educating youth, said Aretha Graves, a museum board member and event coordinator.

Although rooted in African heritage, Kwanzaa celebrates many races and cultures, she said.

"I never thought I would live to be an elder," said Wilma Johnson, 71, of Evansville.

As the eldest in the room, her permission was required to begin the festivities. Still, she said, the focus should be on the children.

"That's our future," she said.

Assisted by his sons, Kameray, 9, and Cheymon, 6, Kacheyta McClellan discussed self-determination.

"We name ourselves," McClellan said. "It can start with youth. Talk to them as if they are young kings and queens.

"I tell them they are going to grow up to be great men so they will believe it and achieve it."

Bursting into song from the back of the room, Graves came forward singing about faith: "Rest assured the creator will give you wings to fly."

The spirits of women are around her, she said — the women who scrubbed floors, did day work, washed the behinds of other people's children and felt the pain of loss.

"Aretha, have you done enough?" they ask.

"I'm married to the movement. I'm married to the struggle ..." she said. "It's the faith that keeps you going."

Kaiser Permanente Said to Underdiagnose

     SAN DIEGO (CN) - Two Kaiser doctors and its audiology lab underdiagnosed a man's ear infection, leaving him with permanent damage from meningitis, he claims in San Diego County Superior Court.
     Brian Crowley says in his complaint that he visited Kaiser five times for ear symptoms that began with redness, swelling, pain, and difficulty hearing.
     In a little more than a month, the symptoms became worse and included discharge, increased hearing loss, a rounded ear drum, vertigo, disequilibrium and tinnitus, the complaint says.
     His condition initially was diagnosed as "otitis externa," and then as "otitis externa with possible otitis media," and finally as "normal to severe mixed hearing loss," while he was treated with an ear wash, ear drops, various medications, and continuing appointments to come back, according to the complaint.
     One day, his wife came home to find him unconscious and he was rushed to a non-Kaiser hospital, "where he was promptly diagnosed with otomastoiditis and bacterial meningitis. He now suffers from "permanent, severe neurological and cognitive deficits as a result of the underdiagnosed and untreated mastoiditis infection," according to his complaint.
     He seeks past and future medical, and incidental expenses, general damages, pre-judgment interest and costs for medical malpractice, and his wife is seeking loss of consortium damages.
     Plaintiff is represented by Kevin F. Quinn of Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire in San Diego.

text: XML/Generator/RSS10/egms version 0.02 ===================================== This module extends Dave Rolsky's XML::Generator::RSS10 to provide support for the UK e-Government Metadata Standard (egms) RSS 1.0 specfication. For UK government RSS feeds, much of the mandatory eGMS metadata is provided through the standard Dublin Core module. However, the subject category metadata is mandatory, and uses rather more complicated RDF XML notation than regular Dublin Core, principally because you're encouraged to pass more than one category for each item. I've taken the specification for using eGMS metadata in RSS feeds from the LAWS Syndication Guidelines, at: http://www.esd-toolkit.org/laws/ INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires: XML::Generator::RSS10 XML::Generator::RSS10::gcl XML::Generator::RSS10::lgcl XML::Generator::RSS10::ipsv COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2004-2006 Andrew Green, andrew@article7.co.uk Sponsored by Woking Borough Council, http://www.woking.gov.uk/ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
