Recovery.gov built by Drupal

February 19th, 2009

Another thing I posted to my law class’s discussion forum:

I Have just been discussion crazy over the last couple days. Anyway, TechPresident.com has an interesting article about the implications of the Obama administration using a free, open-source content management system, Drupal, to build Recovery.gov. Of course, they are probably reading too much into but they discuss four implications:

1) Goes against the government standard of using proprietary software
2) Bolsters the credibility of open-source software as stable and reliable
3) Drupal’s underlying philosophy matches the Obama administration’s push for community building
4) Extends the White House’s web development from beyond just the new media consultant firm Blue States Digital

    Fioricet contains a combination of acetaminophen, butalbital, and caffeine. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.
    Butalbital is in a group of drugs called barbiturates. It relaxes muscle contractions involved in a tension headache.
    Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It relaxes muscle contractions in blood vessels to improve blood flow.
    Fioricet is used to treat tension headaches that are caused by muscle contractions.
    Fioricet may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

    Have you ever seen anybody end up going completely bald while on Propecia?

    Interesting question. Some men start Propecia when they have advanced balding patterns and few start when they have a full head of hair with early miniaturization. Those that started Propecia with a full head of hair (with some miniaturization) are slowing losing hair to some degree, but I do not recall anyone that became completely bald. I suspect that there are patients who will develop a Norwood Class 7 pattern of balding even on the drug, but these are few and far between. This does not mean you are guaranteed to not go bald on Propecia. I suspect I have not followed someone long enough in the last 10+ years to have seen it (or if they became bald, they never followed up with me).
