Why is this medication prescribed
Pramipexole is used alone or with other medications to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD; a disorder of the nervous system that causes difficulties with movement, muscle control, and balance), including shaking of parts of the body, stiffness, slowed movements, and problems with balance. Pramipexole is also used to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS; a condition that causes discomfort in the legs and a strong urge to move the legs, especially at night and when sitting or lying down). Pramipexole is in a class of medications called dopamine agonists. It works by acting in place of dopamine, a natural substance in the brain that is needed to control movement.
How should this medicine be used
Pramipexole comes as a tablet to take by mouth. When pramiprexole is used to treat Parkinson's disease, it is usually taken three times a day. When pramiprexole is used to treat restless legs syndrome, it is usually taken once a day, 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. Pramipexole may be taken with or without food, but taking pramipexole with food may help to prevent nausea that may be caused by the medication. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take pramipexole exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Your doctor will start you on a low dose of pramipexole and gradually increase your dose. Your doctor will probably not increase your dose more often than once every 4 to 7 days. It may take several weeks before you reach a dose that works for you.
If you are taking pramipexole to treat restless legs syndrome, you should know that as your treatment continues, your symptoms may worsen, may begin earlier in the evening or afternoon, or may occur in the early morning. Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen or if they begin to occur at different times than in the past.
Pramipexole controls the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome but does not cure these conditions. Continue to take pramipexole even if you feel well. Do not stop taking pramipexole without talking to your doctor. If you are taking pramipexole to treat Parkinson's disease and you suddenly stop taking the medication, you may experience, fever, muscle stiffness, changes in consciousness, and other symptoms. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually over 7 days.
If you stop taking pramipexole for any reason, do not start to take the medication again without talking to your doctor. Your doctor will probably want to increase your dose again gradually.
Other uses for this medicine
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What special precautions should I follow
Before taking pramipexole:
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to pramipexole or any other medications, or any of the ingredients in pramipexole tablets. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of the inactive ingredients.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: amantadine (Symadine, Symmetrel); antidepressants; antihistamines; ; cimetidine (Tagamet); diltiazem (Cardiazem, Dilacor XR); ; levodopa (Larodopa, Dopar, in Sinemet); medications for allergies, anxiety, mental illness, nausea, and seizures; metoclopramide (Reglan); quinidine; quinine; ranitidine (Zantac, Zantac 75); sedatives; sleeping pills; ; tranquilizers; triamterene (Dyrenium, in Dyazide, in Maxzide); and verapamil (Isoptin, Calan, Verelan, and others). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had an urge to gamble that was difficult to control, trouble controlling movement of your muscles,a sleep disorder other than restless legs syndrome, dizziness, fainting, low blood pressure, or heart or kidney disease.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. If you become pregnant while taking pramipexole, call your doctor. Do not breast-feed while you are taking pramipexole.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking pramipexole.
- you should know that pramipexole may make you drowsy or may cause you to suddenly fall asleep during your regular daily activities. You might not feel drowsy before you suddenly fall asleep. Do not drive a car or operate machinery at the beginning of your treatment until you know how pramipexole will affect you. If you suddenly fall asleep while you are doing something such as watching television or riding in a car, or if you become very drowsy, call your doctor. Do not drive or operate machinery until you talk to your doctor.
- remember that alcohol can add to the drowsiness caused by this medication. Tell your doctor if you regularly drink alcoholic beverages.
- you should know that pramipexole may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, fainting, or sweating when you get up too quickly from a sitting or lying position. This is more common when you first start taking pramipexole, or when your dose is increased. To avoid this problem, get out of the chair or bed slowly, resting your feet on the floor for a few minutes before standing up.
What special dietary instructions should I follow
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
What should I do if I forget a dose
If you are taking pramipexole to treat Parkinson's disease, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
If you are taking pramipexole to treat restless legs syndrome, skip the missed dose. Take your regular dose 2 to 3 hours before your next bedtime. Do not double the next dose to make up for the missed dose.
Side effects
Mild side effects
Pramipexole may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- nausea
- abnormal body movements and motions
- weakness
- dizziness
- drowsiness
- difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- difficulty remembering or thinking
- confusion
- abnormal thoughts or dreams
- heartburn
- constipation
- diarrhea
- loss of appetite

Severe side effects
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
- hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist)
- changes in vision
- chest pain
- shortness of breath
- dark, red, or cola-colored urine
- muscle tenderness
- muscle stiffness or aching
- muscle weakness
Some people who took medications such as pramipexole to treat Parkinson's disease or restless legs syndrome developed gambling problems, an increased interest in sex, or overeating problems. There is not enough information to tell whether the people developed these problems because they took the medication or for other reasons. Call your doctor if you have difficulty controlling any of these behaviors. Tell your family members about these risks so that they can call the doctor even if you do not realize that your behavior has become a problem.
People who have Parkinson's disease may have a greater risk of developing melanoma (a type of skin cancer) than people who do not have Parkinson's disease. There is not enough information to tell whether medications used to treat Parkinson's disease such as pramipexole increase the risk of developing skin cancer. You should have regular skin examinations to check for melanoma while you are taking pramipexole even if you do not have Parkinson's disease. Talk to your doctor about the risk of taking pramipexole.
Pramipexole may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while you are taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at http://www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
What storage conditions are needed for this medicine
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of emergency/overdose
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
What other information should I know
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.

Livestock farming for meat production is the largest agricultural sector in South Africa, generating over R6.7 billion per annum. The sector employs over 1 million people of whom approximately 40% are in the informal sector. Nevertheless, consumption outstrips production by 15%, making the country a net importer of red meat.
South Africa's rangelands, varying from grasslands to arid shrublands, provide the core source of fodder for the country's commercial, communal and subsistence livestock grazing practices. Overgrazing and desertification are reducing the productivity of these rangelands, which could significantly reduce production capacity in the near future and is causing large-scale land degradation.
It is essential to more effectively manage the ecological systems that make up the rangelands, if the economic and biodiversity assets are to be maintained. In addition to the impacts of overgrazing, many livestock farmers use lethal trapping methods (poisoning and gin traps) to deter predators from killing livestock. These methods are aimed at target species, such as leopard, caracal, jackal, badgers and birds of prey. These traps also indiscriminately kill other species such as tortoises, aardvarks, porcupines and buck. In addition, killing the top predator not only threatens the functioning of an ecosystem, but attracts other predators into a region, which has been shown to increase livestock losses. In response, various initiatives have formed to promote good grazing practices and predator-friendly livestock management.
The Biodiversity and Red Meat Initiative
The Biodiversity and Red Meat Initiative (BRI) comprises of over 50 communal livestock farmers in the Kamiesberg, Northern Cape. In partnership with CSA, these farmers have committed to following a guideline detailing good practice around stocking rates, wetland and fire management, land stewardship, and predator-friendly livestock management. In exchange they are given much needed assistance with infrastructure and extension services.
In association with Nurture, Restore and Innovate, CSA has conducted an ecological baseline assessment, which will be repeated in 5 years. Research is also being done into various predator-friendly livestock management options such as herders, bell collars, and guard dogs.

Conan O'Brien Starts A New Feud With Rebecca Black: She Stole 'Friday' From Me!
Conan brings big laughs as he takes down the viral sensation!
Rebecca Black has taken heat from Justin Bieber — and now she can add Conan O'Brien to her list of haters!
Conan, 47, took on Rebecca, 13, on his March 21 show, saying the YouTube star "ripped me off!" He then shared his video "Thursday," which he allegedly recorded "a few weeks ago."
The spoof shows Conan analyzing the days of the week much like Rebecca did, taking time out to talk about partying and even getting in a rap interlude!
Conan's always so funny, and we have to admit his tune is nearly as catchy as the original!

NEMA Launches Site for Lamp Recycling
The National Electric Manufacturers Association recently unveiled www.lamprecycle.org, a new Web site that offers critical information on recycling for U.S. companies that use fluorescent or high-intensity discharge lamps. The site includes information about federal and state regulatory spent lamp management requirements and state regulatory contracts. It also lists companies that handle and recycle spent lamps and describes the environmental benefits of mercury-containing lamps and what the lamp industry has done to reduce its use of these lamps altogether.
These requirements can differ depending on who generates the spent lamps and in which state the user resides. Even where existing regulations exempt users from spent lamp management regulations, NEMA encourages businesses to recycle their spent lamps.
FuelCell Energy Signs with Wastewater Plant
FuelCell Energy signed an agreement to install a Direct FuelCell power plant that uses municipal wastewater digester gas as fuel in King County, Wash. The company was selected for the project through a competitive process last July to install and operate a 1MW DFC power plant at the county's South Wastewater Treatment Facility in Renton, Wash.
The two-year demonstration project is cost-shared equally by FuelCell Energy and King County through a cooperative grant to the county from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The contract is worth $18.8 million, and operations are expected to commence during the third quarter of 2002.

Little Giants Fall at Wittenbergby Howard W. Hewitt • November 6, 2010 Share:
SPRINGFIELD,Oh. – Two-third quarter touchdowns were not enough Saturday for Wabash to muster a come-from-behind win at Wittenberg, 34-17. The Little Giants have a week to regroup for the Monon Bell Classic.
View photos of the game here, here, here, and here.
The 9-0 Tigers can claim the NCAC title and automatic playoff qualifier Saturday at Wooster. Wabash (7-2) will face its second straight unbeaten in Depauw while trying to maintain possession of the Monon Bell.
No. 9-ranked Witt controlled the line of scrimmage, particularly on third down, while the Little Giants were unable to convert a couple of early offensive opportunities. Time of possession reflected the struggle, Witt kept the ball 41:48 to Wabash's 18:12.
"We didn't get any pressure on the quarterback and he picked us apart," Coach Erik Raeburn said. "It's disappointing, particularly in the first half, we had good opportunities on third and long where we didn't make any plays and they did. We just couldn't get off the field at all."
Wabash's first-half score came on a Spencer Whitehead 41-yard field goal. But a Jake Martin pick and 80-yard return yielded nothing when a field goal attempt was wide left.
Witt built the lead to 24-3 early in the third quarter before the Little Giants showed a pulse. Not surprisingly any more, Wabash got going when freshman Nate Scola blocked a Wittenberg punt. The block was the 11th of the season for the Little Giants, tying the NCAA Division III record for blocked kicks in a season set by Benedictine University in 1987.
Tyler Burke, who alternated possessions at quarterback with Chase Belton, directed the Little Giants to their first touchdown. On a fourth down, Burke hit Brady Young for a 12-yard score, 24-10.
The next time the Little Giants touched the ball, Chase Belton found Jon Horn down the right side for a 65-yard score, 24-17. The defense forced Witt into its first three-and-out of the day and the Little Giants had a possession where they could have tied the score.
The opportunity to fight back out of the deep hole ended when a Burke pass was tipped into the air and intercepted. On the next play, Ben Zoeller hit Anthony Kralich for a 27-yard touchdown to open the game back up for Witt, 31-17.
Wittenberg's offensive dominated with 503 total yards to Wabash's 183. The Tigers rushed for 186 yards to Wabash's 23. Witt's Zoeller hit on 24-34 passes while Burke was 7-19 and Belton 6-14.
Dan Ryan Wood had an outstanding day defensively with 15 tackles, Sam Smith was credited for 10.
The Little Giants have little time to recover. "Whether you win or lose, when you play a bunch of big games in a row you have to have the ability to shift gears and move on to the next game. As painful as the loss is we'll have to move on and put it behind us if we're to have any chance on Saturday."

This weekend will see one of the biggest box office face-offs of the summer as two big-budget franchises aiming to attract male moviegoers go head-to-head at the multiplex.
The action-heavy "Fast & Furious 6" and the raunchy comedy "The Hangover Part III" arrive in theaters over the long Memorial Day weekend. But it doesn't seem like there will be much competition for the No. 1 spot.
The latest installment in the series featuring hot cars and hot girls should easily take the top spot, raking in a robust $100 million over the four-day weekend, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys.
The final entry in Todd Phillips' party franchise, meanwhile, is projected to gross about $80 million by the end of Monday -- far less than the $135 million the second movie made between Thursday and Monday in 2011. The third "Hangover" opened late Wednesday evening, when it collected a lackluster $3.1 million -- a fraction of the $10.4 million the second film collected from late-night screenings when it launched midweek two years ago.
The only other film hitting cinemas this weekend is "Epic," a 3-D animated family film that will probably gross $45 million over the four-day holiday.
"Fast & Furious 6," co-financed by Universal Pictures and Elliot Inc. for $160 million, has received relatively strong reviews. The third "Hangover," meanwhile -- which cost Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures $103 million to produce -- has been panned by critics.
It's likely that the latest "Fast" film will end up performing even better at the box office than its predecessors. Established in 2001, the movies starring an ensemble, multi-ethnic cast have become one of Universal's biggest success stories as the franchise has grown in popularity over the years. The fifth film, released two years ago, grossed a whopping $626.1 million worldwide. A seventh installment in the series is already slated to hit theaters in July 2014.
The film's stars, including Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez, turned up this month for the movie's world premiere in London, where the picture is primarily set. Last weekend the sixth "Fast" film debuted with a strong $13.2 million in Britain.
The final "Hangover" film is also likely to grow in popularity with audiences overseas, though it remains to be seen how American moviegoers will respond to it. Though the second movie made $586.8 million worldwide, the film was not received nearly as well as the 2009 original, which became a surprise word-of-mouth phenomenon.
The movie reunites Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis for another night of debauchery -- this time back in Las Vegas, where it all began. Because the movie tends to attract mostly young males, it is expected to lose some of its audience to "Fast & Furious 6" this weekend.
As for "Epic," 20th Century Fox is releasing the $100-million-plus production from its animation company, Blue Sky Studios. The movie, which includes the voices of Amanda Seyfried and Colin Farrell, follows a teenage girl who uncovers a war between good and evil being waged deep in the forest.
Because it is not part of an existing franchise, it's possible that "Epic" may face challenges at the international box office, where it opens this weekend in 21 countries. Last weekend the film launched in 16 foreign markets, including Mexico and Brazil, and sold $14.7 million worth of tickets.
The last film from Blue Sky, "Ice Age: Continental Drift," was a massive hit abroad, making 81% of its $877.2 million total overseas.

Discrimination by Complication: Same-Sex Parents Must Do More
Opposite-sex couples with children don't think much about what would happen if one of them were unable to care for the kids–obviously, the other parent would step in. Likewise, married couples should make wills, but even if they don't, a surviving spouse gets most or all of the deceased spouse's property.
For same-sex couples living in states where neither marriage equality nor relationship recognition (in the form of domestic partnerships or civil unions) has arrived, none of the above is necessarily true. This New York Times article describes the reality for one lesbian couple raising their children in Michigan.

I've had to wait all week to post this due to my hosting problems, so let's just say my initial ire has faded somewhat. So accept my mellowed out version of what was a pretty crap-tastic experience at Skingenesis salon last Thursday. Aren't they lucky!?
So the story begins with how damn hard it was to get an appointment with Skingenesis when using a Wahanda voucher – eventually I did get a slot for after work, midweek. Officially my appointment was at 5.30 but the receptionist asked that I was there for 5.15pm to fill in the paperwork. No problem!
The building was very much a 'office block' type place, somewhat off putting because it was quite quiet and there was a tiny lift to get in and out of – one of those rickety that you're terrified to stand in alone in case it breaks down.
So I get there on time at 5.15pm and poor Mr C was waiting for me under the illusion that the treatment would take around 30mins. Infact, I had said to him they'd probably be even quicker – I am super quick at filling in forms (ahem)…
So I waited…and waited….and waited. My phone was on it's last legs and it was pretty dull waiting in there. So I waited, and waited.
I was pretty annoyed at this point. Without sounding self important, time is really precious to me – it is to everyone – and I hate it, I hate it so much when my time is wasted on pointless things like waiting to be seen. There's a reason we have an appointment system no? This is NOT a doctors appointment (I once waited 1hr 25mins to see the doctor – what's your record?) this is just a beauty treatment! I am a paying customer (albeit at a discounted rate).
I looked at the clock and 30 minutes had passed. My phone had died. No one had said ANYTHING to me about the fact I was sat there, like a moron in the waiting area. The receptionist asked me if I wanted any water. The manager (I think) tells me I have a pretty colour bag. Balenciaga. Thanks, but I'd rather be at home right now.
2 Chinese boys come into the salon asking about hair removal for their bodies and bum fluff – I look at them suspiciously – Chinese men, the majority, aren't even hairy. I feel like saying, just go and get some waxing strips from Boots!
The manager heads home. The therapist finally appears, she is sniffy and tells me she has been unwell and is the only person working so apologised for the delay. By now I have been waiting for 40 minutes. The receptionist grabs the therapist and asks her to explain laser hair removal to the two boys and they go talk and talk and talk about the treatment and arranging appointments.
I mean really? I've been waiting 40 minutes, 2 people come in with an enquiry and the receptionist can't handle it? They spend a good while talking to the potential customers, who ultimately scurry away anyway 'My friend is too shy to show his chest on his own' and the receptionist then comes back to me with a clipboard about about 6 sheets of paper.
'I forgot to give you the form before so can you fill it in QUICKLY'.
Oh yes I forgot how hard it is to hand the ONE customer you have in the salon a questionnaire. By now I am hopping mad but hiding it as well as I could…if the therapist is unwell then I sympathise but it means that either she shouldn't be there OR customers should be informed of the delay.
Eventually I got into the salon room and the therapist looks through my form. I ticked a box which said I can get keloid scarring – I got two from when I had chicken pox as a kid.
She informs me that actually, this means she can't do the microdermabrasion. Obviously at this point I was already imagining a noose around my neck tightening, and I was too tired and annoyed to even argue with her.
'Didn't anyone ask you about your skin when you booked the appointment?'
'Er, no'.
Considering the fact it takes 45minutes to hand me a clipboard, I'm not surprised I wasn't asked a few basic questions to make sure I was suitable for Microdermabrasion.
The therapist offers me a 'normal facial' but can she do it there and then? No, because it's 'too late'. But for my inconvenience, I could have a 45min treatment rather than a 30min one. I feel so lucky! Except by this point I had wasted an hour, a precious, precious hour (regulars will know I barely sleep so you can imagine how much I could've done with an hour) and was angry with myself for ever bothering.
I cancelled the 'normal facial' – the thought of going back there made me feel ill, and passed it on to my aunt who I am hoping has a great experience because god knows SOMEONE should use it.
Wasn't that a gentle rant?! Have you every been driven mad by a salon?

Anyhow, I think Apple is way out of line here and I'm willing to send you guys a bit of cash to help pay legal costs. Not too much, but hey every bit helps. I'm also happy to stipulate in the donation that if the money is not needed for legal costs then you can use it to support the ipodhash project. Apple's lawyers are (presumably) competent and realize that the DMCA does not apply here, but they also realize that they can force bluwiki to give in regardless of who's in the right. That's plain and simple bullying. I like Apple products, but I hate bullies. I hope that by supporting ipodhash, it will deliver the clear message that this type of bullying is counter productive. Good luck, T. Meyzer.

Are nonprofit theaters too closely tied to commercial producers?
Decades before he took on the chairmanship of the National Endowment for the Arts, Broadway producer Rocco Landesman approached his friend Robert Brustein about doing a musical at Brustein's artistic home, the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge. Brustein liked the idea, and the show, "Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,'' opened there in 1984. It would go on to run for more than 1,000 performances on Broadway, win seven Tony Awards, including the coveted best musical, and earn the ART well over $300,000 for having premiered the piece.
Whether or not that show's high-profile success enticed other nonprofits toward Broadway, as a new report suggests, collaborations between regional theaters and commercial producers have proliferated in the years since then — and Boston's biggest producing theaters have certainly been a part of that. At the ART, think "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess,'' "Johnny Baseball,'' this December's revival of "Pippin,'' and, potentially, February's "The Glass Menagerie.'' At the Huntington Theater Company, think "Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps,'' "Captors,'' "Pal Joey,'' and a series of plays by August Wilson.
Slated to be published Monday, the report from the Emerson College-based Center for the Theater Commons chronicles a gathering last November of some of the biggest names in American theater, including Brustein and Landesman, and raises pointed questions about what those partnerships — and a gaze increasingly directed toward Broadway — mean for the mission of nonprofit theaters.
"If there was a recurring theme to the . . . discussion, it was that the nonprofit theater appears to have lost sight of its values and raison d'être,'' says the report, titled "In the Intersection: Partnerships in the New Play Sector.'' While "commercial partnerships were not perceived to be the cause of this erosion of ideals, necessarily,'' it says, there is a concern that the collaborations — which frequently involve so-called enhancement money, paid by the commercial producers to cover production costs at the regional theater — "have the potential to create a legal and moral slippery slope for nonprofits.''
"There's an uneasiness about the relationship between not-for-profit and commercial theater,'' Polly Carl, the director of the Center for the Theater Commons, said in a recent interview. The research center opened at Emerson this year, aiming to shake things up in the American theater, asking questions about its methods and its values.
"There are no purists at the table. I don't think anybody is saying, 'Commercial is evil and not-for-profit is good.' Nobody believes that,'' Carl said. In fact, she added, there is value in the two sectors working together. But there is also a sense that the nonprofit theater in recent years "has lost its way in its overemphasis on definitions of success that are very particular to taking shows to New York, not necessarily serving communities.''
As Brustein reminded his two dozen fellow participants in the meeting last year, held at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., this country's nonprofit theaters were founded as alternatives to its for-profit theater, with different objectives and ideals.
"We didn't join together to do the same things to please the largest number, to bring in the greatest amount of money, and the greatest subscribers,'' he told them. "[A]s a nonprofit theater, most of us did these things because nobody else would do them! We did Robert Wilson, we did Andrei Serban. . . . Because Broadway wasn't going to do them! And they needed a voice! They needed an outlet. They needed a stage.''
Enhancement funding
Avant-garde theater artists aren't the only ones looking for an outlet. Nowadays, when commercial producers need a stage, they frequently approach nonprofit theaters. Major regional companies like the Huntington and the ART can mount a show for a fraction of the price of a production on Broadway, where nearly everything costs more, and help in the development of the piece, not least by putting it in front of an audience.
"I think it probably happens more than people are aware of,'' said ART producer and interim managing director Diane Borger, ticking off a partial list of nonprofit companies across the country that sometimes team up with commercial producers: Berkeley Repertory Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, South Coast Repertory, the Goodman Theatre, Steppenwolf Theatre Company. She also pointed to nonprofit-commercial collaborations in London, where she worked for three decades before coming to Cambridge.
"It's been sort of standard at the National Theatre and the [Royal Shakespeare Company] and the Royal Court and the Donmar [Warehouse] for, oh God, a dozen years at least,'' Borger said. "It's perceived as a really healthy part of the theater ecology, because so much work from the not-for-profit sector does go into the commercial sector. It's a way of them supporting not-for-profits.''
And in the United States, where funding for theater isn't what it once was, commercial money is a resource to tap.
"In a world of changing funding patterns,'' Borger said, "it's something that's now in the mix.''
At the ART, last season's Broadway-bound production of "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess'' was a commercial collaboration, as is this season's "Pippin,'' which boasts a cast including Tony nominee Charlotte d'Amboise and Tony-winning Broadway favorite Andrea Martin. "Johnny Baseball,'' from 2010, also involved a commercial producer, but it did not move to New York. John Tiffany's upcoming staging of "The Glass Menagerie,'' starring Cherry Jones and planned long before Tiffany won a 2012 Tony Award for directing the hit musical "Once,'' has attracted commercial interest, though no deal is in place, Borger said. A workshop production of "Once'' last year at the ART was supported with commercial money, too, she said.
Borger declined to disclose how much enhancement money commercial producers put into a given deal but estimated that it covers between 33 and 40 percent of the production's budget. "It certainly changes what's possible if we're doing a large show,'' she said. On "Porgy and Bess,'' those extra dollars meant the ART could afford to hire — in addition to a voluminous cast headed by the show's main draw, Broadway star Audra McDonald — 18 local musicians for the orchestra.
The ART's operating budget, Borger said, hovers between $12 million and $14 million — on the higher end last season because "Porgy'' brought not only enhancement but big box-office sales and
donations. Borger would not say how much the ART has made from "Porgy'' or any other commercial production but noted that the standard contract, which is negotiable, gives the originating theater a 1 percent royalty and 5 percent of any profits. In each of the past couple of years, she said, the ART has made between $100,000 and $200,000 from its commercial partnerships. "Sleep No More,'' from the 2009-10 season, was not enhanced but has gone on to a successful commercial run in New York, and a cut of that is making its way back to Cambridge.
"The truth is,'' said Michael Maso, the Huntington's managing director, "we're all approached all the time with commercial money, and most of the things that people send to us are just plays that we don't want to do — either plays or musicals — and so we don't do it. We have relationships with commercial producers when either they are the way that we can afford to do something that is just too big for our budget, or when they come attached to something, and we can help develop a piece, but we really care about the piece.''
"Captors,'' last season's drama about Adolf Eichmann, and "Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps,'' in 2007, both came to the Huntington with producers attached, Maso said. ("Captors'' has not resurfaced in New York, while "The 39 Steps'' went on to spend two years on Broadway.) "Marty,'' which starred John C. Reilly in 2002, included "a substantial amount of money from commercial producers,'' Maso said, and the musical "Pal Joey,'' in 1992, "had significant support: not quite a million dollars but maybe $750,000.'' Horton Foote's "The Young Man From Atlanta,'' in 1995, was another commercial collaboration, with what Maso said was "a small amount of enhancement.''
"The most commercially successful venture we've ever had with commercial producers is '39 Steps,' '' he said. "Our return on that has been in excess of a hundred thousand dollars — but, you know, that's still out of an annual budget of
13 million, so we've never had enormous motivation or benefit from it. The only theaters that really make money are the ones that have hit the jackpot with a major musical. And then it's an enormous amount of money.''
One longstanding partnership involved August Wilson's plays, which regional theaters including the Huntington would produce, sans enhancement, with the playwright's commercial management team. Wilson's later plays, "Gem of the Ocean'' and "Radio Golf,'' involved a different commercial producer, Landesman's Jujamcyn Theaters, which provided "some compensation in exchange for physical production elements,'' Maso said. But Wilson's work was seldom a moneymaker.
"I think every now and then, a check from the television version of 'The Piano Lesson' comes in for a couple of hundred dollars,'' Maso said.
While some decision-making may be shared with the commercial partner on a given project, both Maso and Borger said that their theaters have ultimate control over the regional production. But control emerges as a contentious issue in the report, which notes that one would-be attendee at the meeting — Michael Ritchie, the former Williamstown Theatre Festival producer now heading Center Theatre Group in Los Angeles — had to cancel because a starry "Funny Girl'' revival, undercapitalized by a commercial partner, had just dropped out of his season.
Such risks, La Jolla Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley told his peers, are inherent to nonprofit-commercial collaborations. "One of the downsides to that partnership is that whatever promise you've made to your audience as a theater is not completely within your control anymore,'' he said.
Community connection
As the report makes clear, there is significant worry in some quarters that a Broadway-bound production at a regional theater does not have the same connection with that regional theater or its audience that a production without a commercial future would have.
Robert J. Orchard, Emerson's executive director for the arts and executive director of ArtsEmerson, sounded a similar theme in an interview, though he emphasized that he was not trying to tell anyone else how to work. Having founded the ART with Brustein, he spent more than two decades as the ART's managing director before becoming its executive director, and said he has never taken enhancement money. When New York rather than the local production is the end goal, he said, making the work feels "less organic'' than when it's "created from scratch and totally within the resources of the organization.''
"It feels as if it's passing through,'' Orchard said. "Its sights are beyond you; [it's] not really being done for the local community. It's being done with an eye towards another community. You have a different relationship to the work. And there's a spiritual thing to that that's hard to articulate that does have some effect, I think, on organizations.''
While some ART productions in his years there did attract commercial interest, and the theater had an ownership stake in shows that went on to Broadway — including " 'night, Mother'' in 1983, "A Moon for the Misbegotten'' in 1984, and "Mastergate'' in 1989 — it "had nothing to do with the shepherding of the project into a commercial realm,'' Orchard said.
"I think our perspective was in part because we had a resident company,'' he said, "and we weren't in the business of moving our resident company out of Cambridge.''
Once common in regional theater, resident companies "have all collapsed and disintegrated,'' Brustein told his colleagues at the meeting in Washington. The ART no longer has one, though some former members sometimes perform there.
David Dower, director of artistic programs at ArtsEmerson and founder of the Center for the Theater Commons, said in an interview that Broadway-bound productions can create an "imbalance of power'' that puts regional theaters at a disadvantage in their relationship with artists, too. When artists become focused on the commercial future of the play, he said, they place less importance on the earlier part of the process.
"We're at the beginning of something in the nonprofit production that has been designed to have a much bigger life,'' Dower said, "and the artists and the commercial producer are focused on the much bigger life. And the not-for-profit institution that's sitting there . . . has a very difficult time.''
Carl, for one, would like nonprofits to examine their actions — to ask themselves what the right amount of commercial activity is for their organization and what value they're bringing to their community.
"It's easy to make a case that you're promoting your mission,'' she said. "It's easy to say, 'Oh, we're making good theater for our community because this many people came.' But I think the means and the end are really at issue for the American theater right now. What means are you willing to employ to get to those ends? That's the real question at hand here.''

Uses for baby powder
Baby powder is a popular baby shower gift. If you're a new parent, you'll probably have more than you know what to do with. Many parents don't use much of it for their baby, so rather than let it collect dust, you can use it around your home.
Here are a few suggestions:
You can make your hair white by sprinkling baby powder in it. One reader, Palooka from Missouri, shares: "When I was a teen, I dressed up for work as an old lady. I put my hair in a bun, poured tons of baby powder in it to make it look gray and wore my mom's robe and slippers." This works well for school plays, too.
Hot sheets:
During summer months, your bed can feel hot and clingy. Sprinkle baby powder between your sheets to help with humidity and perspiration. It gives your sheets a fresh scent, too.
Deter ants:
Leave a powder line near doors and windows to prevent ants from crossing over.
Add it to your beach bag:
If you sprinkle baby powder on yourself before you get in the car, the sand will slide right off.
Clean grease:
Baby powder also works well for removing grease on kitchen walls. Rub the grease spot with powder and a soft cloth. Another reader, Lisa C. from Texas, shares: "Sprinkle cornstarch or baby powder over the grease stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then brush it off. The powder absorbs the grease. You can use Dawn dishwashing liquid for grease stains, too."
Baby powder also works well for removing grease from suede. You can absorb the stain by blotting it with a soft, dry cloth and then applying baby powder, cornmeal or cornstarch. Let it set for a few hours. Use a suede brush to remove the absorbent product. Do this a couple of times, until the grease stain is far less noticeable. Lastly, gently rub a pencil eraser over any remaining stain.
For shoes:
Baby powder keeps sneakers dry and comfortable. If your shoes are squeaking, sometimes sprinkling powder inside them can stop the noise.
Unstick items:
Playing cards often stick together. If you place them in a bag, add some baby powder and shake the bag, they'll stop sticking. Baby powder works well on inflatable beach/pool toys, too. Once they've been deflated and folded up, inflatable toys tend to stick to themselves and can rip easily. Sprinkle them with baby powder to help keep them intact.
On hair:
Sprinkle baby powder on your hair and brush it out to give your hair volume. Another reader, M.M. from Georgia, shares: "If I don't have time to shower before I go out, I brush my hair with baby powder from root to end. It absorbs the oils so my hair looks freshly blow-dried."
Detangle a necklace:
If the chain gets tangled, apply a bit of baby powder or baby oil to help slide the tangles out with a pin or needle. Baby powder works for detangling shoelaces, too.

Restaurants are one of my favorite indulgences. (Cooking is fun. Dishes, less so. And my son is not quite tall enough to inflict with that chore.) As a result, I have stayed far, far away from Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential" and any reality series starring Gordon Ramsay.
But so pervasive has become the cult of the celebrity chef that even a punter can easily identify the various jobs in that scorching, knife-filled danger zone that is the commercial kitchen. Thanks to "Ratatouille" (and seriously, thank you, Pixar), so can your average 6-year-old. Monica Ali's new novel, In the Kitchen, focuses on the midlife crisis of an executive chef named Gabe Lightfoot. Unfortunately, Gabe turns out to be a whole lot less appealing hero than a rat.
Ali, whose wonderfully memorable debut novel "Brick Lane" was a finalist for the Booker Prize, is an expert at detailing the immigrant experience in London. Gabe's kitchen at the Imperial (a hotel whose glory days are well behind it, as the plastic flowers on the tables attest) is filled with a "United Nations task force" of Russians, North Africans, and Indians – any one of whose story turns out to be more interesting than that of their boss. And therein lies both the appeal and the problem inherent in "In the Kitchen."
Ali is a detail-oriented writer who brings her creative scrutiny to bear on everything from the textile industry in Britain in the 1970s to the vents the grill chef de partie slices in his uniform to the heartbreaking procedure by which Liberian children were turned into soldiers. Whenever "In the Kitchen" stays focused on its title, it sizzles. "When the kitchen was busy, when knives wheeled and pans slammed, when the burners hissed and flared, when the white plates marched, when the chefs shouted orders and insults and jokes, swerving and bending, performing the modern dance of cuisine, this place was transformed.... What a place, thought Gabe, looking away at the grilled and bolted back door and barred and lightless windows. What a place: part prison, part lunatic asylum, part community hall." Ali possesses great powers of lyricism and insight, neither of which have deserted her since her first book.
But Gabe's romantic problems are, sadly, boring (even to his new lover). And, since readers know about his looming breakdown from Page 1, it takes entirely too long to hit.
The catalyst for Gabe's meltdown is the suspicious death of Yuri, a Russian night porter, in the basement of the Imperial Hotel, where the porter had (unbeknownst to Gabe) been living. Months away from opening his own restaurant, Gabe instead finds himself haunted nightly by Yuri and unwilling to accept the official verdict of accidental death.
But he's not focused enough to turn himself into a toque-crowned Sherlock Holmes, so he mostly just worries vaguely about it and a host of other problems, including his dad's terminal diagnosis of cancer and the young woman he found searching Yuri's room. Lena is a former sex slave on the run from her abusive pimp, and Gabe takes her in, he thinks, out of the goodness of his heart.
However, he also takes her up on her coldly delivered offer of sex, despite Charlie, the jazz singer he plans to marry, someday. (Charlie, full of self-deprecating humor and charisma, gets rather short shrift as a character.) The restaurant manager may also be running a human trafficking ring out of the Imperial, but again, Gabe can't quite seem to concentrate enough to find out for sure.
Ali has set up enough drama to fuel a Dickens novel, but instead the book is deeply internalized from Gabe's point of view. While dreaming of cooking French cuisine "with rigor," he lies to Lena, to Charlie, to his boss, and to himself, and slackly debates the nature of Britishness and the possibility of free will with everyone from his dad to the British minister of Parliament who is putting up part of the money for Gabe's restaurant.
"What's interesting, Gabriel, is the way in which the idea of Britishness is or has become essentially about a neutral, value-free identity," the MP opines glibly. "It's a nonidentity, if you like. A vacuum."
Gabe's dad would agree with that analysis, and it saddens him deeply. Ted, a Yorkshire millworker who believes being British used to mean something, sounds downright prophetic about the current recession, worrying over a nation of tradesmen being turned into a nation of consumers. " 'There's no industry anymore,' said Ted. 'We don't produce anything. You can't build a pyramid upside down, it'll fall over, you've to get the foundation right.' "
Gabe's foundations clearly are crumbling, and the climax finds him running through the streets of London and ending up in an onion field. "Gabriel stood on the bridge and looked down at the slick black water. The bloated city fizzed all around. He opened his mouth and let out a low moan. He looked up at the sky that seemed to hold not stars but the weak reflected lights of the never-ending earth.... He would pray for himself if he knew how."
The novel contains many such powerful passages, interspersed with the occasional dead spot. "In the Kitchen" has its flaws, but those are intertwined with Ali's terrific writing. It's like an overly ambitious special whose flavors don't quite jell. You'd come back to the restaurant, but next time, you'd order something else. And it still beats fast food any day

About the area
Glenelg is a relaxed picturesque village, shielded by high mountains and looking out towards the sea. Its seclusion makes it a paradise for rare wildlife. Look out for pine martins and peregrine falcons inland or keep an eye on the sea for a glimpse of otters or minke whales. Glenelg has a good village shop and post office for essentials, and the famous Glenelg Inn serves delicious local produce.
Things to do
- Cosy up with a copy of Ring of Brightwater, Gavin Maxwell's book about the otter he brought back from Iraq. Maxwell wrote the book from his cottage at nearby Sandaig. The whole area is still full of the wildlife he loved.
- The Balmacara Estate is about an hour's drive away. Here you'll find acres of woodland walks as well as beautifully preserved 18th century farm steadings.
- Visit the Iron Age brochs close to the barracks, inland along Gleann Beag. These tall Pictish towers are some of the best preserved in Britain.
Getting there
Take the main road to the Isle of Skye via Kyle of Lochalsh (A87). Turn off for Glenelg at Shiel Bridge. As you come into the village proper, on your right you will see a wooden gate with a sign saying 'No Entry to Bernera Barracks' - An Gearasdan is just along this track about 100 metres. < Hide

Assad may have won the civil war
Antoinette Fares lost nearly half her weight during the hellish siege she and her brother Sobei endured in Homs' Old City because they didn't want to be a burden to relatives. Video provided by AFP Newslook
AMMAN, Jordan — The rebel abandonment of Homs, a city known as the "capital of the "revolution," is the strongest sign yet that the dream of toppling Syrian dictator Bashar Assad from within has failed.
"We were under siege for so long," said rebel Orhan Ghazi. "The people of Homs have begun to move away from thinking about the revolution. They want to live, and that's it."
Assad is running for re-election June 3 for a job in which he is the only real candidate at a time when the Sunni rebels who have fought his regime for three years are severely weakened by losses in what were once their strongholds.
Last week, green buses full of armed rebels snaked their way through the ruins of Homs, a rebel bastion that had been pounded from the air by Assad forces relentlessly since May 2011. Rebels had withstood shelling and snipers, a cutoff of water and electricity, and the obliteration of their neighborhoods one after the other.
Hemmed into the Old Quarter of the city, the anti-Assad fighters had no choice but retreat.
"The rebels are in bad shape – they can't win this war," said Joshua Lendis, director of the Center for Middle East studies at the University of Oklahoma. "On the other hand, it is going to be hard for the regime to defeat them because the rebels get money and arms from the outside."
With the fall of Homs, the Syrian government now controls about 50% of the territory and two of the country's largest city hubs: the other being the capital of Damascus, says Lebanese military expert Wehbe Katisha, a former general.
"Assad has certainly managed to score points in the last few weeks, but it is still a bit premature to say that the Syrian rebellion is over," says Katisha.
One year ago it looked as if Assad may go the way of other Arab despots toppled by popular uprisings demanding democratic reforms. The so-called Arab Spring ousted dictators in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt.
In Syria, Sunni Muslims who are the majority had risen up in 2011 and taken territory throughout Syria. Bolstered by an influx of foreign militants seeking an Islamic state, the rebels inched within miles of the capital of Damascus as Syrian army artillery shelling and air bombardments failed to dislodge them.
President Obama and European powers were poised in August to launch strikes against Syrian positions for Assad's use of chemical weapons to massacre hundreds of civilians in violation of a "red-line" the president had set for taking action.
But then well-trained Shiite Muslim fighters from Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon poured into Syria to take the lead in battles against rebels. Iran sent in military trainers and officers, Russia blocked military action at the U.N. Security Council and refused to abide by a ban on weaponry to its ally, Assad. Obama backed away from his threat to bombard Syria.
And some rebel units are in fights against their Islamist allies in regions such as Deir Zour and Daraa.
"Obama's policy toward Syria is certainly the worst in years, one that will have adverse effects on the long-run for both the U.S as well as for us Syrians," says Syrian activist Abu Obeida al-Chami, who has fled the Damascus suburbs to nearby Lebanon.
National Security Adviser Susan Rice has said the USA will continue "to empower the moderate Syrian opposition and bolster its efforts" inside Syria despite the latest developments. But the United States will not deviate from limiting its assistance to non-lethal aid to the Syrian opposition, the White House said.
Many rebels complained that they would have defeated Assad's regime by now had the West provided them with heavier weapons, such as anti-tank missiles and shoulder fired air missiles, to take out the mechanized armor and airplanes that Assad used to devastating effect.
Ammar al-Hosn, an activist who spoke from the Ghouta region, said the Sunnis were able to win the battle themselves if they received weapons instead of encouraging words from the West.
"We are fighting with light and medium-range weapons, much of which produced locally, but it is not enough," he said.
Al-Hosn admitted, though, that some of the fault lies with themselves.
"The infighting among rebel groups has distracted them from their original objective of overthrowing the regime," he said.
Abu Obeida agreed.
"Rebel factions could have united and successfully launched an attack on Damascus a long time ago," he said. "But the capital is considered as a red line not to be crossed by some foreign backers."
On Sunday, Assad kicked off his presidential campaign for a June 3 election in which he is the only true candidate. The man who has presided over the deaths of 150,000 people and the displacement of 2.5 million Syrians appears safe for now, despite an official White House policy that he must go.
Meanwhile, the evacuation from Old Homs as it is known began Wednesday morning. A U.N.-brokered agreement between the two fronts allowed around 2,000 fighters to head to safer areas.
Analysts say the rebels still hold on to strategically important parts of Homs province, an important transit corridor. But the loss of the city hurts because Homs – Syria's third largest metropolis – has long been the beating heart of opposition movement.
Rebels throughout the country believed they had a chance when they saw their brethren in Homs refusing to surrender under a three-year assault.
"Those blockaded have seen their sons die from hunger in front of their own eyes, and see their brothers die from injuries inflicted from shelling," said Suhaib Ali, a spokesperson for the opposition Homs Front group.
"This was a decision by those on the ground, those who have suffered through the two-year long blockade."
As part of the deal, rebels agreed to allow humanitarian aid into the villages of northern Aleppo and will free a number of prisoners held by the Islamic Front, including an Iranian female detainee and Hezbollah combatants. Regime supporters see the deal as a win for their side.
"The settlement in Old Homs is a major breakthrough leading to the restoration of safety and stability in Old Homs," Homs governor Talal al-Barazi told pro-regime newspaper al-Watan.
James Denselow, research associate at the Foreign Policy Center in London, said the loss of Homs will have great effect on the rebellion.
"To have the opposition fighters evacuated in buses away from the center and have the regimes flag put up is symbolically hugely important for the regime and for its narrative that the conflict will cease soon," he said.
"It's no coincidence they followed up evacuation with bulldozers to remove rubble and the tourism minister has been up to inspect how many hotels are still open and this idea that it will somehow rapidly return to normal," he added.
"That is very much the regime's narrative of it being the only alternative to the chaos that is being sown by the terrorist fighters as they call it."
While rebels recognize the symbolic victory for Assad, they say the regime is making a mistake by making too much of the withdrawal. Some say the fall of the city will harden the stalemate between both sides.
"Homs is the capital of the revolution. It falls and Syria will be even more divided," said Ahmed al-Ahmed, a rebel in Aleppo.
Katisha points out that the foreign forces responsible for Assad's survival will not be able to remain forever. They just go home, and that will turn the advantage back to the rebellion. Abu Odai, spokesperson for the rebel group Feiliq a-Rahman outside Damascus, agrees that the revolution will live on and Homs is just a setback.
"If this truce is completed in Homs, it does not mean Homs has fallen into regime hands, it means the rebels of Homs will continue their struggle in other areas," he added. "Homs is a single place, not all of Syria."
Abu Obeida lamented that even if the rebels are one day victorious, it will be at the end of a vicious campaign in which fighters on all sides will have to account for their actions.
"How will we able to forgive each other for all the rapes and killings committed during this war? The revolution is very far from its original dreams of democracy and has turned into a regional war."

Story highlights
- Meetup.com played a strong part in the 2004 campaign of Democrat Howard Dean
- Out of the 2012 presidential candidates, only Ron Paul is big on Meetup
- Meetup founder Scott Heiferman says the tea party was born on the site
- Meetup is enabling Americans to create quasi-third parties for new voices and issues
Eight years ago, the secret weapon of Democrat Howard Dean's upstart campaign for president was a little-known website called Meetup.com, which was launched in 2002 to make it easy for people with a common interest to find each other and arrange to meet, face to face.
The site's founder, Scott Heiferman, had imagined it would be of greatest interest to people with hobbies or a shared passion for a cult movie like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Little did he know that it would also be adopted by grass-roots activists meeting to strategize how to help the Dean campaign.
In fact, Meetup was so little known that at first, Dean staffers themselves had no idea that people were using it on his behalf. It wasn't until Dean and his campaign manager, Joe Trippi, went to a New York City Dean Meetup in early 2003 -- and were stunned to find hundreds of people lining the street -- did they understand the power of the platform.
"They built our organization for us before we had an organization," Dean later told Wired magazine.
The number of participants in Dean Meetups ultimately peaked at about 143,000, spread over about 600 locations -- a huge number in those days -- and engagement in the face-to-face local groups dramatically affected how involved volunteers got with the campaign. The more Meetups people attended, the higher their average donation to the campaign, for example.
According to an academic study by Christine Williams and Bruce Weinberg of Bentley College, people who reported going to just one Dean Meetup reported giving $154 on average. People who went to five or more gave $510. The more Meetups that people attended, the greater their likelihood to tell other people to learn about, volunteer for and, ultimately, vote for their candidate.
Today, Meetup is a growing, profitable company that is about to celebrate two major milestones: Soon, 100 million people will have RSVP'd to more than 10 million individual Meetups, worldwide. But the site is no longer a hub for presidential politicking -- at least not in the conventional sense.
There are just 71 groups on the site devoted to supporting President Obama, and the numbers for Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich are all in the low single digits. Herman Cain has 10.
Only Ron Paul, who has long had an outside-the-establishment message and following, is big on Meetup, with more than 700 groups and about 88,000 members using the site to connect.
This shift is understandable. We shouldn't really expect to see hundreds of local Meetups for a presidential candidate at this point in the process, for three reasons.
First of all, the Republican campaigns are all essentially focused on just the first few states to hold caucuses and primaries. Anything that doesn't get them votes or volunteers in Iowa or New Hampshire is a distraction.
And second, with the exception of Paul, none of these candidates -- including Obama -- have succeeded in creating anything like a movement behind them in this cycle. Dean attracted supporters from all over America because Democrats in early 2003 were hungrily searching for a candidate who was anti-war and appeared electable. No issue is currently uniting Republicans in quite the same way.
But there's a third reason why we're not seeing Meetup and presidential politics line up the way they did eight years ago. Politically inclined grass-roots activism on both the right and left is alive and well on Meetup in the thriving number of tea party and Occupy Wall Street groups using the site.
And they're looking for changes that are much bigger than anything offered by either Republican or Democratic candidates.
As Meetup founder Heiferman describes in this talk I filmed of him, given Monday to an audience of foundation and nonprofit types in New York, the tea party was, in some ways, born on Meetup.
"Glenn Beck went on TV, and he said ... 'go to a Glenn Beck Meetup in your town.' They created a Glenn Beck Meetup in about 500 towns ... and they all tagged themselves 'tea party.' ... And they are some of the most active Meetups we see on our system," he said. People are not only organized town-by-town, but "they help each other out if one of them has cancer."
More than 700 tea party groups are now active on Meetup, with nearly 100,000 members. Now, the Occupy movement, which is only about a month old, is taking off on Meetup as well, with more than 2,400 "Occupy Together" communities on the site.
There's an important clue here about how the Internet will affect the politics of 2012. As outside-the-establishment movements like the tea party, Occupy Wall Street and Ron Paul followers are showing, the two-party system isn't big enough to absorb the concerns and passions of hundreds of thousands of grass-roots activists. And these are the people who, despite being a minority of the larger population, can drive the agenda in new directions.
So while we shouldn't expect a platform like Meetup to make any presidential candidate a viable challenger the way it did in 2003 and early 2004 with Dean, it (along with other online platforms and social networks) is helping do something even bigger: It is enabling Americans to create quasi-third parties that are bringing new voices and new issues into the national debate.
And in a country where the differences between the two major parties are sometimes hard to find, that can only be a good thing for democracy.

New rule will harm endangered antelope, ranchers say
INGRAM, Texas — An unusual exemption under the U.S. Endangered Species Act that's allowed the hunting of rare African antelope will change next week, and new federal rules to protect the animals will, some say, threaten the sport.
Beginning Wednesday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, after losing a lawsuit from an animal rights group in 2009, will require breeders, ranchers and owners across Texas and the Southwest to follow the permitting process under the Endangered Species Act, which the hunting community says will destroy its business and lead to the decline in numbers of the antelope.
The deadline — and all it represents — has sparked an uproar in this fiercely independent part of the world, where many owners are racing to sell, give away or hunt the animals. Some even threaten to destroy the antelope before the government steps in.
Included are three species, the scimitar-horned oryx, the addax and the dama gazelle.
"Ranchers in this country are very private-property individuals," said Charly Seale, the executive director of the Exotic Wildlife Association in Ingram, Texas, about a 90-minute drive west of San Antonio. "We bought the animals with our own money and they're telling us what to do with them. They are not anybody's animals but ours."
Seale is so opposed to the permitting process that he's sold the 23 scimitar-horned oryx he was breeding.
To ranchers, the numbers of the Texas-raised antelope tell the story: Scimitar-horned oryx increased from 32 in 1979 to 11,032 in 2010, addax grew from two in 1979 to 5,112 in 2010 and the dama gazelle's population increased from nine in 1979 to 894 in 2010.
"Their home country had basically annihilated them," said U.S. Rep. John Carter, R-Texas, a hunter who's been the ranchers' champion on Capitol Hill and the go-between for them with the Fish and Wildlife Service since the regulation was issued in January.
The African antelope, he said, are "not an endangered species to America, where we are actually preserving the species."
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, himself an avid hunter, told McClatchy, "I'm going to hunt the scimitar-horned oryx to draw attention to this, to make the point. If they don't allow the hunt, they're going to become extinct."
The Friends of Animals organization, which successfully sued the Fish and Wildlife Service over the Endangered Species Act exemption, has a radically different view of conservation, however.
"The reason these ranchers were given this loophole is because they were working to propagate the species," said Lee Hall, the vice president for legal affairs for Friends of Animals.
Asked about the increased numbers of the endangered antelope herds, Hall said, "That's true."
"But the question is does that count as conservation, to live and thrive as members of a bio-community? It's merely commercial exploitation in a strange, macabre touristy world. We wouldn't call that conservation."
"It's not credible to say you're conserving when you're breeding them to shoot at them and put their heads on the wall," she said.
Despite holding opposite views, Friends of Animals and the Exotic Wildlife Association are funding projects to return the endangered antelope species to Senegal in West Africa.
So far, only a small number of ranchers and breeders have applied for permits, about 50 as of Friday, willing to account annually for herds and "culling," or removing some animals. About half of those permits have been issued, which Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman Vanessa Kauffman calls a quick turnaround.
"People who are complaining are the minority," Kauffman said.
The Exotic Wildlife Association's Seale claims that the number of those who are willing to abide by the rules will be only 10 percent of the 400 ranchers and breeders in his group who own the three African antelope. He warns that there soon will be fewer than 1,000 of the animals.

But it has the potential to save a far greater sum of money to our country than that.
It has the potential? What, in our history, leads you to believe that something the government does will save money? You are putting a lot of faith in a government that has, among other things, waived the requirements of the ACA for going on 300 different (and large) companies and that, among other things, has helped to nearly bankrupt social security, and that, among other things, has helped to make sure Medicare and Medicaid are ineffective at best.
That is correct, I don't know that it will be better. All I know is that the current system is unsustainable and WOULD have bankrupted our country. I'm pretty sure we are all in agreement there. So, I'm willing to try it. I think that there are a lot of good provisions in the bill that will help reduce the cost of healthcare in the long run. Hopefully our government made a good decision.
Which good provisions in the bill will help reduce the cost of healthcare in the long run?
Are you concerned about the assignment of waivers to various large employers?
Are you concerned that the individual mandate will require that people purchase health insurance with generous benefits and virtually no cost-sharing?
What provisions of the ACA require that premiums and costs of insurance remain static? In other words, what's to prevent all health insurance from doubling their prices?
I'm not sure if you read my older posts, but I illustrated many provisions that should reduce costs and improve outcomes. Instead of re-hashing the same post, feel free to search for them... I don't post too often so it shouldn't be hard.
As for waivers, my understanding is that those waivers are for a limited time only. I know that one company that I work with has a waiver, but that waiver expires in 2014 when they are forced to change their benefit design. That being the case, I am not worried as everyone will be on the same playing field. See, the waiver was needed for groups that wouldn't be able to afford coverage if they immediately got rid of their old designs (with lifetime limits, etc) that helped keep the cost lower for those groups. If their weren't any waivers, those groups would have been forced to drop coverage way before the healthcare exchanges were set up. The waiver allowed those companies to keep coverage until the exchanges were ready in 2014. At least, that is my understanding.
I'm not sure what you consider "generous benefits". Can you elaborate? The policies must have a minimum amount of coverage in order to be approved, but I'm not sure if that is what you are talking about here?
The ACA actually does have provisions to eliminate arbitrary rate increases. Insurers are now forced to spend at least $0.85 from every dollar on paying claims, so their overhead is limited to 15% or less. Also, I believe the ACA sets up regulators that will approve rate increase filings. They look at the financials and decide if the filing is appropriate. I happen to live in a state that their has been a health insurance commissioner for some time doing just that, so I have seen how it works. He often denies or reduces the proposed rate increases.
