Opioids are sometimes added to local anesthetics to increase efficacy and extend the duration of the block. The efficacy of
peripherally injected opioids is likely due to a combination of factors, including direct effects on opioid receptors in the
periphery, anti-inflammatory effects, systemic absorption, and action at the spinal cord due to slow retrograde axonal transport
along the nerve.4-6
Directly applying opioids to a peripheral nerve at high concentrations can produce analgesia that is not naloxone-reversible
and is thought to be a nonspecific local anesthetic-like action.4 In addition, opioid mu and kappa receptors are present on the distant peripheral terminals of C fibers, and these receptors
increase in number and become activated when there is inflammation at the site.4-6 Opioids attenuate the excitability of peripheral nociceptive terminals of primary afferent neurons during inflammation by
inhibiting high-voltage activated calcium channels, which decreases the propagation of action potentials and the release of
C fiber excitatory transmitters, such as substance P.4-6
Morphine is often used in intra-articular and epidural blocks, along with local anesthetics, and seems to provide additional
analgesia in people and dogs.7-9 Buprenorphine has been shown to extend the duration of analgesia with brachial plexus and epidural blocks in people, compared
with local anesthetic administration alone.10-13 Epidural morphine and buprenorphine have induced thermal nociception in cats, but morphine antinociception lasted longer
and was more intense.14 The mechanism for the increased efficacy and duration of analgesia with peripherally administered opioids appears to be
related to the lipophilicity of the opioid since the highly lipophilic buprenorphine provided a longer duration of satisfactory
analgesia in people after a brachial plexus block than did the less lipophilic sufentanil.13 The anti-inflammatory effects of opioids likely also play a role in prolonging analgesia.5 Minimal adverse affects are associated with the peripheral administration of opioids because doses administered peripherally
result in low plasma concentrations in most species.2,5
Alpha2 agonists
Alpha2 agonists, such as medetomidine, can be added to local anesthetic blocks to extend the duration and increase the efficacy
of the block.15-18 Alpha2 agonists likely exert these effects through several mechanisms, including vasoconstriction, resulting in decreased systemic
absorption of local anesthetics; facilitation of C fiber blockade by the local anesthetic; and action at the spinal cord due
to slow retrograde axonal transport along the nerve.17 Norepinephrine is a principal neurotransmitter in the sympathetic nervous system that is also involved in nociception through
alpha2-adrenergic receptors expressed on peripheral sensory neurons. In pathological pain states, such as neuropathic pain and inflammation,
nociceptors develop increased sensitivity to norepinephrine, and peripheral antinociception is likely mediated through these
peripheral alpha2-adrenergic receptors.17,18
Clonidine has been used for intra-articular, epidural, intrathecal, intravenous regional, and peripheral nerve blocks in people.17,18 Medetomidine provided effective analgesia when administered epidurally in goats, cows, dogs, and cats and extended the duration
of radial nerve blockade with mepivacaine in dogs.15,19-22 Dexmedetomidine (Dexdomitor—Pfizer Animal Health) has potentiated and prolonged the effects of intrathecal and epidural
local anesthetics in rats, sheep, guinea pigs, and people.23 Spinal administration of dexmedetomidine provided a powerful antinociceptive effect in dogs,24 and epidural dexmedetomidine was found to decrease the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in dogs.25 The addition of dexmedetomidine to the local anesthetic solution in intravenous regional anesthesia in people improved the
quality of anesthesia and decreased analgesic requirements but had no effect on the sensory and motor blockade onset or duration.26 Sedation, bradycardia, and decreased cardiac output can occur from systemic absorption, so alpha2 agonists should not be used in hypovolemic patients or patients with impaired cardiovascular function.15,17,22,25

Nassau County detectives have charged the driver of a cement truck with manslaughter in connection with the horrific school bus crash in Locust Valley last July that left one man dead.
Raymond Ragen, 44, of Mineola, was charged Tuesday with driving while under the influence of drugs when he barreled into a Long Island Rail Road bridge July 23 and careened into an oncoming school bus.
Driver Jorge Guevara was pronounced dead at the scene after a cement truck smashed head-on into the bus he was driving in the oncoming lane at 3:15 p.m., police said.
Five other male bus passengers were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. Among them were three 6-year-olds, a 9-year-old and one adult, aged 64.
Ragen was treated at an area hospital and later released. He was seen helping the victims at the scene of the crash when police arrived.
But a six-month investigation determined through toxicology reports that Ragen was under the influence of drugs at the time of the crash, police said Wednesday.
The truck, a 2003 Oshkosh cement mixer owned by Nicolia Ready Mix, was travelling eastbound on Oyster Bay Road near Matinecock Court when it smashed into the LIRR overpass. The mixing compartment was knocked from the truck as the vehicle collided with the bus in the westbound lane.
The bus was transporting the children from a day camp in the area.
Ragen is charged with second-degree manslaughter, five counts of assault, two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance, reckless endangerment, driving while ability impaired by drugs in a commercial vehicle, aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular manslaughter, various vehicular assault, reckless driving and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, police said.
Detectives said Ragen was also using a mobile cell phone at the time of the crash.
Ragen will be arraigned on the charges Wednesday in First District Court in Hempstead.

OTTUMWA — January has largely been dry, but a snowstorm that began in the overnight hours has brought the month's precipitation totals to near normal levels.
Students in much of southeast Iowa had the day off. Here's a look at how some people were spending it.
And, lest it be too tempting to complain, the National Weather Service records show Ottumwa received more than 11 inches of snow on this day in 2002.

Thread: Subs with the stock head unit?
Subs with the stock head unit?
I just purchased a 2012 Silverado last month.
I'm looking to add a sub (or two) to the stock stereo system... but I don't know if it's possible?
I don't want to get rid of the stock system because it seems like so much goes through it and it would be more hassle than it's worth.. OnStar, USB, reconstructing the dash, and making it a target for thieves because there's a new stereo in the dash..
So what would be needed to add a sub-woofer to the factory head unit / system? Where can they plug into?2012 Silverado 1500
2004 Silverado 1500 (SOLD): http://tinyurl.com/JRD761sTruck
1977 Silverado C20: http://tinyurl.com/JRD761-1977-C20
All you need to add a sub to the factory system is the sub, amp, appropriate power wiring for the amp, and an adapter from PAC or Metra to integrate into the factory wiring and retain the OnStar and chime functions. I used this one from PAC, to install a sub in my previous 2004 Silverado. I don't know if it works with the 2012 trucks though, as the stereos are different. It should be easy to find one that does though.
I haven't done what you want to do but I understand your concern.
If your OEM system has no sub, I know that Audiocontrol makes one or more electronic crossovers or other signal processors that work from the amplifier outputs rather than pre-amp outputs. You can divide the signal that way and direct it to a dedicated sub amplifier.
Google or Bing "Audiocontrol". They are right here where I live (Seattle area) and the stuff is built here in the Northwest. Call them and discuss your situation and see what they can do for you.
You then will have to decide a location for the sub woofer and the amplifiers, and figure out if you need to build a custom sub enclosure to fit the space. There are aftermarket manufacturers who make sub enclosures that fit under the rear seat of extended cab pickups so you don't have to build one yourself or have someone do it. However, there are limits for the depth of the cabinet, and therefore if the subwoofer requires 6 or more inches of depth for a top mount, you will have to find a shallow mount option. Kicker makes a shallow mount sub woofer that only requires about 4.5 inches of depth for a top mount application.1994 Chevy K2500 Silverado, 454 (modified), original owner.

You should purchase a Line Out Converter (LOC). Just google it for a pic (having trouble linking one) It is a small box with wires on one end and plugs for RCA cables on the other. The box takes a signal from the rear speakers and converts it to send only bass signals to your amp.
The wires get tied into your rear speaker wires, the RCA wire will go from the LOC your amplifier for the subs.
The only thing to be careful of is if your truck has the bose stereo package you need to be sure to tap the rear speaker wires before they pass through the factory amp that would already be in your truck. (if applicable).
I have had my stereo set up like this for a while. I didn't want to lose the 6 disc, steering wheel controls, xm, etc that came with my factory stereo. I purchased my LOC from Best Buy for under $25.
This is really an easy install to do. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions feel free to send me a pm or just ask away here."The best things in life aren't things"

Depends on what you mean. You can get a line out converter and tie the inputs into the subwoofer wires coming out of the factory amp, then you run your RCA cables from the line out converter to your amplifier and then take power from your battery, remote wire from a dedicated accessory wire and then ground the amp to the body (not through a seat bolt, that's tacky and doesn't give you low enough impedance). That's the only way you can correctly hook into factory wiring to run an aftermarket sub. Well, not the only way but certainly the cheapest quickest way

Special to the Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Resale is on the rise in northern Michigan.
The mostly for-profit shops that sell used clothes and other items seem to be cropping up everywhere. Two new outlets just opened and another opened a second location -- making for more than two dozen resale, consignment or thrift shops in the Traverse City area.
""There's a downsizing of America underway," said Vincent Amroin, owner of the newly opened Boomerangs Children's and Maternity Resale.
Boomerangs is operating in the former Children's Orchard location at Logan's Landing, 2020 South Airport W. The store focuses on children's clothing, toys and equipment as well as maternity wear.
Plato's Closet opened May 16 at Kid's Creek Marketplace, 1535 S Division St., with clothing and accessories for teens and young adults. Zany Consignment Boutique, 318 Vine St. in Traverse City, opened a second Zany's East location, at 4630 US 31 N,on May 18.
About 80 percent of the stores nationwide are operated as 'for profit' businesses, furthering a $13-billion dollar a year industry with more than 25,000 resale and consignment shops in the United States. The sector has experienced seven percent growth in just the past two years.
Amroin has watched the growth trend for the past 19 years as owner of Vince's Fine Jewelers located next door. Vince's Fine Jewelers was a leader in the retail movement locally -- his store evolved from traditional retail relying on new items into an inventory that is 80 percent resale.
Amroin credits the economy and shifting attitudes toward for the popularity in resale. There are at least ten resale, consignment or thrift shops within two miles on South Airport, including Ebb Tide and Riverside Furniture located on the west side of Logan's Landing.
Plato's Closet specifically targets teens and young adults in their twenties, with trendy clothing, shoes and accessories. Melissa Dow co-owns the store with her husband, Mike. She has a team of certified buyers on staff who evaluate items for condition, style, size and trends, then pay cash of up to 40 percent of the anticipated sale price for items selected. Dow and her staff began buying inventory in mid-March, striving to fill "..6,000 empty hangers." On opening day, 100 people standing in line waiting for the doors to open. The momentum has continued during the first three months in operation. There are currently 20 employees, many between ages 16 and 24.
Inventory is often sold at 50 to 75 percent less than new prices on items retailed in traditional stores just a year earlier.
Dow, like Amroin, also notes the change in buying attitudes during the past 15 years, saying the trend is for value shopping versus high spending.
"People are seeing great values and saying 'Why not?'" she said. "Today it is all about finding a good deal … it's a badge of honor."

Having recently lost my net, recently being last summer, I have been in the market for a new one. Luckily for me Brandon Lenderink, Owner of Cornerstone Creek Nets, came walking through the door here at Trout's Fly Fishing to showcase his new line of high-quality wooden landing nets with clear PVC bags.
Catching the green drake hatch on the Fryingpan is one of the greatest spectacles found here in the Rocky Mountain West. I was well prepared for such an event due to the fact that in my hand was a Winston BIIIx 4 weight, 8' 6", dry fly chucking machine. The rod is light in the hand, extremely versatile and deadly accurate.

Auditions for Landmark Community Theatre's first musical of 2013, Guys & Dolls, have been announced.
Come ready to sing! Come ready to dance! Just come! Auditions will be on Jan. 27 and Jan. 28 at 7:00 pm with possible callbacks on Jan. 30. at the Thomaston Opera House, 158 Main Street, Thomaston, Connecticut 06787. More information to follow.
The first musical of the season is a Broadway favorite, Gus & Dolls, showing April 27, May 3, 4, 10, 11 @ 8pm and April 28, May 5 & 12 @ 2pm. Guys & Dolls is a musical comedy with vivid characters such as Sarah Brown the upright but uptight "mission doll", out to reform the evildoers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit,

I am quickly losing track of the characters. I think I need a chart.
I liked the novel very much, although I found all the different POV's a little frustrating. No sooner would I get into one character's story than the chapter ended and another character started in. But I'm reading this series to learn how to write political/court intrigue, and this novel is certainly filled with it. Just one book and I've gotten several ideas to use in writing Volume 2 of [b:Rav Hisda's Daughter, Book I: Apprentice: A Novel of Love, the Talmud, and Sorcery|13542525|Rav Hisda's Daughter, Book I Apprentice A Novel of Love, the Talmud, and Sorcery|Maggie Anton|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1333225010s/13542525.jpg|19106814]. I am also watching the HBO show on DVD, and I must admit that so far the miniseries is better than the book. I'm very glad all 5 novels are out now since I would not have liked waiting so many years for the story to finally finish.
Good, though the type was small and its length made it somewhat ponderous of a read. Still, I do want to read the next in the series.

I love this book. His descriptions make me feel as if I live in Westeros and his characters breathe life into his pages.
And yet, I couldn't stop reading. And it wasn't with the kind of self-loathing desperation for closure that took me to the end of The Da Vinci Code. I read A Game Of Thrones with genuine pleasure. It may be a cartoon, but it's one that is brilliantly drawn. Archaic absurdity aside, Martin's writing is excellent. His dialogue is snappy and frequently funny. His descriptive prose is immediate and atmospheric, especially when it comes to building a sense of deliciously dark foreboding relating to a long winter that is about to engulf his fictional land.
The best about this is the way you can trust it to all fit together and make sense. If Martin mentions something without explaining it, it'll be explained later, or anyway alluded to so that you can put it together yourself. It's overflowing with detail and you can trust that all of the detail belongs and is necessary and interesting. The world and the story are completely immersive, with no jolts to jerk you out of your suspension of disbelief.
This is a perfect book.
There's honestly nothing I can think of that could improve it in any way. This is a book that made me shout at it, that made me giggle and cry, that made me gasp, that made me tremble and hate and love. It's seamless; I'd say it's unputdownable, except that sometimes I found I desperately needed to put it down because I was overwhelmed with the wonder of it, only to pick it up again half an hour later.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553573403, Mass Market Paperback)Readers of epic fantasy series are: (1) patient--they are left in suspense between each volume, (2) persistent--they reread or at least review the previous book(s) when a new installment comes out, (3) strong--these 700-page doorstoppers are heavy, and (4) mentally agile--they follow a host of characters through a myriad of subplots. In A Game of Thrones, the first book of a projected six, George R.R. Martin rewards readers with a vividly real world, well-drawn characters, complex but coherent plotting, and beautifully constructed prose, which Locus called "well above the norms of the genre."
Martin's Seven Kingdoms resemble England during the Wars of the Roses, with the Stark and Lannister families standing in for the Yorks and Lancasters. The story of these two families and their struggle to control the Iron Throne dominates the foreground; in the background is a huge, ancient wall marking the northern border, beyond which barbarians, ice vampires, and direwolves menace the south as years-long winter advances. Abroad, a dragon princess lives among horse nomads and dreams of fiery reconquest.
There is much bloodshed, cruelty, and death, but A Game of Thrones is nevertheless compelling; it garnered a Nebula nomination and won the 1996 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel. So, on to A Clash of Kings! --Nona Vero
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:54:36 -0400)
A tale of court intrigues in the land of Seven Kingdoms, a country "blessed by golden summers that go on for years, and cursed by cruel winters that can last a generation." The cold is returning to Winterfell, where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime. A time of conflict has arisen in the Stark family, as they are pulled from the safety of their home into a whirlpool of tradedy, betrayal, assassination plots and counterplots. Each decision and action carries with it the potential for conflict as several prominent families, comprised of lords, ladies, soldiers, sorcerers, assassins and bastards, are pulled together in the most deadly game of all, the game of thrones.… (more)

If you're like half of the staff at Teva HQ, you live in flip flops. Now that's all well and good, but it definitely becomes an issue when you actually have to do something in them. That is, of course, unless you have the Bomber Flip. With an unbelievably grippy Spider Rubber + JStep sole and a strap that goes over your foot to keep you from sliding around, the Bomber Flip was really built to be a performance flip flop. Yes, we said performance flip flop.T.I.D.E. GRIP
- Our Spider Rubber + JStep outsole was designed to keep its grip on a grease-covered aluminum ramp (true story). Wet rocks shouldn't be a problem.
- A blown rubber footbed won't absorb a whole lot of water
- An instep strap can be tightened down for hiking or boating, or stowed for casual flip flopping
- A soft Shoc Pad™ in the heel gives you serious shock absorption
Weight: 10.8 oz
Shoc Pad™
You wouldn't ride a bike without a seat. The same logic applies for our Shoc Pad™ technology, which will give you a smooth ride without inhibiting your performance.
Spider Rubber® + JStep®
Our Spider Rubber + JStep outsole may be the grippiest sole we've ever made, which is saying something, considering we made our reputation sticking to wet rocks.

I actually use these flip flops on a daily basis and they get a lot of use. I'm still not sure about the straps. But now that I've used them on this pair they will never stay on my feet without them. With the straps they fall off going up the stairs. I will buy Teva's again but not this style again. Sorry.

Web development as an industry
Since the mid-1990s, web development has been considered as one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. In the United States, alone, by 2005, there were more than 30,000 such companies. The growth of this industry is attributed to the desire of big companies to market their products and services to their customers using automatic business workflow. But after 1995, website development and hosting had gone down since an interested person can easily develop his own simple web site without cost. He has only to by use one of the many free website-builders available such as Google Sites. In fact, smaller web dev companies are now creating their own web design.
A popular example is that of the LAMP (an acronym given to mean Linux, Apache, MySQL and, PHP) stack which is usually offered free of charge.
Many people are motivated to set up new web-sites daily and this development contributed to the popularity of web Development . Another contributing factor is the increase of easy-to-use WYSIWYG web-dev software, specifically Adobe Dreamweaver, WebDev, and Microsoft Expression Studio. By utilizing this type of software; anybody can learn quickly to develop a very basic web page in a matter of minutes. However, one has still to know the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) or of programming languages to use such software. However, it is easy to learn and implement the basics with the help of files, technical books, internet tutorials, or face-to-face training.

The 2012 production of the Village Players production of "Miracle on 34th Street" continues today, Dec. 8, featuring Kris Kringle as Santa Claus and a courtroom full of people who have to believe.
Before the Dec. 7 production, audience members, young and old, lined up for photographs with Santa Claus, who bore a striking resemblance to community theater veteran Donald "D.G." Speirs.
For Speirs, playing Santa Claus is more than a role, more than a job, more than a way to spend the holidays. To say it's a dream to play his dream role sounds trite, but it's true. To say that he believes? Well, that's true, too.
- For more, see
"Miracle on 34th Street" centers on divorcee Doris Walker and her young daughter, Susan (played by Hannah Westcott), who is raised to believe that fantasy is misguided. So, when she meets Kris Kringle, the man her mother hires to replace an inebriated Santa Claus in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Susan's upbringing is put to the test — and so, too, her mother's beliefs.

Seniors Dalton Duley and George Knott combined for 34 points to lead the Providence boys' basketball team past visiting Rock Creek Academy on Tuesday night at the Larkin Center, 61-25.
Duley scored a game-high 21 points, hitting five 3-pointers. Duley had 14 points in the first half thanks to connecting on four trifectas.
Knott ended up with 13 points. Fellow Pioneer senior Cory Cahalan poured in seven and junior Nick Hayes added six.
Class 2A No. 4 Providence led 16-8 after the first quarter and then outscored the Lions 25-9 in the middle two periods to build a 41-17 lead.
Pioneers' coach Lou Lefevre said his players benefited from Rock Creek's leading scorer Will Brown being sick. Brown saw limited action on Tuesday night.
"We were able to take advantage of that," Lefevre said. "During the first two possessions of the game, [Providence's] Nano Grantz hit two perimeter jumpers and that kind of opened things up for Knott, Duley and Cahalan. That was big."
Gedeon Nzombi paced the Lions with 11 points.
NEXT: Providence (15-3) at North Harrison (12-6), Friday; Rock Creek (7-13) at Madison Shawe (7-11), Friday.
• Durham lifts Creek past Austin: With the score tied at 46, junior Shae Durham tipped in a missed layup by teammate Zach Davidson at the final buzzer to give host Silver Creek a 48-46 victory over Austin on Tuesday night.
The Dragons had a 12-point lead entering the fourth quarter. But the Eagles (7-11, 2-7 Mid-Southern Conference) knocked down a handful of 3-pointers to help them make a rally in the final period.
Austin's Jeremiah White tied the score at 46 with two free throws with 1:02 remaining in regulation.
Silver Creek called a timeout following the foul shots and decided to hold the ball for the final shot. In the final seconds, Davidson drove toward the basket, but missed the layup. That set up Durham's heroics.
"We played well for three quarters and then kind of shot ourselves in the foot," Dragons' coach Brandon Hoffman said. "We lost focus for a three-minute stretch [in the fourth quarter]. Their shooting and our turnovers got them back in it."
Gabe Bauer led Silver Creek with 13 points, while Davidson chipped in 12. Durham scored nine. Also for the Dragons, Jake Steele had five rebounds and five steals and Sam Garr had five boards.
NEXT: Silver Creek (8-10, 3-5) hosts Corydon Central (13-5, 6-2), Friday.
• International gets first win: Previously-unbeaten Indianapolis International defeated winless Henryville, 63-49 on Tuesday.
Henryville senior Tyler Collins scored 25 points, but he couldn't help the Hornets overcome Alex Prather's four first-quarter 3-pointers or Skyler Kolli's 26 points for International
"It was a tough night for us," Henryville coach Dan Carmony said. "I feel bad for our seniors."
The Gryphons took advantage of five first-quarter Hornet turnovers to take a 16-10 lead after one then score more second-quarter turnovers by Henryville to take a 35-21 lead at the break.
"We dug ourselves a big hole in the first half," Carmony said. "We fought hard in the second half, but it was too-little, too-late."
International built its lead to as large as 43-22 early in the third quarter. A late 10-1 run got Henryville within 54-46, but Kollli beat Henryville's pressure for a 3-point play with 1:42 left to essentially put the game away.
Cody Reister added 12 points for the Hornets, while Prather finished with 14 for International.
NEXT: Henryville (0-16) hosts West Washington, Friday.

Emily Willingham, Subscriber
I write about the science they're selling you.
In a short article at Fox News entitled "Genetically modified foods: What you need to know," "medicine hunter" Chris Kilham writes (ETA at 7 pm EST: It appears that since I posted this, Fox has taken down the article–not before it garnered 600+ Facebook "likes"; the cached version is here):
With regard to GMO safety, a large, two year-long French study conducted by Seralini and colleagues published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (Volume 50, Issue 11, November 2012, Pages 4221–4231) showed that rats fed Monsanto's Roundup Ready GMO corn suffered high rates of fatal cancers.
Approximately 50 percent of male rats and 70 percent of female rats died in the study. Prior to the publication of the study, the only published results of animal studies concerning GMOs were based on experiments run for no longer than 90 days. The researchers in the French study saw exponential increases in animal cancers after the 90-day period.
In all food safety reviews, rat feeding studies have been considered by officials to determine whether or not foods and food ingredients should be allowed in the food chain. Without question, the Food and Chemical Toxicology study casts a harsher light on DNA-engineered foods, and proves a need for science conducted by independent researchers, rather than by the GMO makers themselves.
Evidently, what you "need to know" about GMOs is only half of the story, omitting to mention the "harsh light" cast on this study itself. The rest of the story about that French study is that it imploded under a global barrage of criticism, governmental distancing, accusations of serious conflicts of interest that went unstated, manipulation of the news media, and poorly executed and bad study design, including choice of animal model and statistics. The animal model the authors used, without any encouragement or manipulation whatsoever, will sprout tumors like mushrooms after a rainshower.
The European Food Safety Authority stated in a news release at the end of November that "the authors' conclusions cannot be regarded as scientifically sound because of inadequacies in the design, reporting, and analysis of the study." The release notes a "broad European consensus" among member states that the authors' conclusions were not supported by the data presented in the study.
That, my friends, is also what you might need to know about GMOs.
Kilham, whose primary research sponsor is a French company that makes "natural specialty ingredients for the Food & Beverage, Nutrition & Health, and Personal Care industries," doesn't stop with telling half the story about the biggest GM study debacle of the 21st century. He also namechecks another common GM bogeyman, Monsanto, claiming that Monsanto produces and sells terminator seeds, which allegedly produce crops that themselves cannot grow seeds. These seeds, he says, force farmers to purchase new batches of seed every season, implying that this gambit forms the core of a shocking business plan that seedless watermelons have been driving for years.
The only problem? Monsanto unequivocally denies having developed or sold terminator seeds, saying on its Website, "Monsanto has never developed or commercialized a sterile seed product" and noting a company commitment made in 1999 not to do so. For a precis of what social scientist Ronald Herring at Cornell has called the "great terminator technology hoax," see his 2006 paper [PDF] detailing how it all unfolded, in which Herring notes that Monsanto does not hold the patent on these "terminator seeds."
Finally, Kilham's closing paragraph homes in on the "public's right to know" if they are eating GMO foods. In the US of A, at any rate, we already have a label for that. It's "organic."
It doesn't matter if they are good or bad. It's a simple thing to do, just label the food. move on with it. and quit spending millions of dollars to try to stop labeling.
We sent a robot to Mars, I think we can figure this out. I am sure the same was said about the FDA back in the day, it's too complicated, how and where would be stop and how far would we go.
But I think in the end the consumer will speak, and slowly the labeling will start. It's not if but a matter of When.
The next generation will likely not share the same opinions and beliefs as our generation. And these problems will be solved. They will likely look at it and wonder why in the world did they not label it…
Why would be happy to watch the industry spend bucks to stop it? Why not be happy when the industry uses all that money spent each year fighting it to just label it? I think that's a better thing to be happy about.
Just my 2 cents… :)
Only time will tell I suppose. To some it's a challenge that's worth taking on, to others it's not.
Emily, while I am no fan of government intervention or "creaky bureaucratic machinery" without this particular type or form of "creaky bureaucratic machinery" you get things like melamine in baby formula and other such lovely things. Yes I am aware that is not an apple to apples comparison but I am sure you get my drift.
We are talking about labeling food. I really dont care whether it is simple or not, as a person of science nor should you. Food is something that we put INSIDE our bodies, it is something that is metabolized inside our bodies, it will be absorbed and permeate our existence at the cellular level, it is something that will nourish our brains encourage positive growth or negatively impact development and/or growth and you have a problem with labeling?
If it was as simple as food is labeled "ORGANIC". Why are companies spending millions to make sure they don't label GMO food?
I don't really understand what the big deal is about labeling. They seem to label everything. What's in your mattress. But can't label if food has GMO.
I guess that's how I think about it.
We already label it "organic", while other countries don't label it anything. If half of what we read is true about gmo's, then there needs to be no more gmo's. Third world countries are saying no and the world is listening to them. All except the world I live in, called the United States of America. We hired a bunch of people to do a job for us and to protect us from harm. Well for a few hundred thousand dollars, it seems all the guys we hired have turned their backs on us. "They" all need to be charged with crimes against humanity! They are killing their own and turning the other cheek. I am also very tired of the media being bullied!
I think people are more concered about long term effects of GMO's. How many studies have been performed by our govt or companies?
From some of the readings I've done the nearly every presidents in the modern history has requested Organic food to be served to them and their families.
I am not really an expert on the topic, but I have researched it a bit over the past year. As I have health problems which prompted me to do some research on food.
p.s: I am not sure how the media is bullied either… I would say the media bullies people more than the other way around.

We shoot a lot of video. We've picked up several tips while doing so that we think you'll find useful. Recording interviews over the Web can be challenging, but with the right setup, you and your associates will be capturing great looking footage in no time.
Here's our step-by-step guide–developed by our very own media producer Paul Whitener–to capturing great Web video interviews.
Making the Call
We recommend Skype to conduct group interviews on the web. When configured properly, Skype can be used to capture high quality video footage of group video calls and provide standard video files of each participant's camera in a format ready to edit or post on the web.
Skype is free and available for both Windows and Mac.
You can use the free version of Skype to video call with one other person. To host video calls of three or more you'll need to upgrade to Skype Premium. Prices start at $4.49 per month.
Recording an Interview in Skype
There are a few things you (and your guests) will need to ensure in order to capture high-quality group video calls.
- Each participant needs a computer with at least a 1 GHz processor, and connected to a high-speed broadband connection with an upload/download speed of at least 1.5Mbps. Note, you will need more bandwidth to host high-quality calls with more than two people.
- If you're using a PC, we highly recommend running Windows 7 or 8.
- Unless you have a new Macintosh with a built-in FaceTime HD camera, we also recommend a webcam capable of capturing HD video. More information is in the "Camera" section below.
- Finally, to capture your video call through Skype, you'll need to purchase and install an "app" in order to record video as Skype does not offer this feature yet. We recommend SuperTintin for Windows ($29.95), and ecamm Call Recorder for Mac ($19.95). While several apps for Windows can record calls in HD, there aren't any available for Mac at this time.
Setting Up Your Studio
For Skype video calling you'll be sitting at a computer while engaging your colleagues. This is an easy shot to get wrong, but we have suggestions to help you get good looking–and sounding–footage. Think about your shooting area as a studio and consider its various components: the camera, microphone, background, and lighting, and how you will account for each.
Camera (Webcam)
You need a webcam connected to your computer to participate in video calls in Skype. While most notebooks have webcams built-in, most of them are low quality. With the technology moving towards high definition video, we recommend using a webcam that's capable of shooting in HD.
Newer Apple notebooks with the FaceTime camera can shoot HD out of the box. In other cases, we like two Logitech cameras as they shoot good looking video in most lighting conditions and record decent audio as well: the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 ($70) for Windows and the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 ($110) for Mac.
Like webcams, most microphones built into notebook computers are of poor quality. You have several options for improvement here:
- Many higher quality webcams, like the Logitech models we recommend above, can also capture decent sound. We recommend selecting a model with dual mics as this two-microphone placement works best for video calls.
- USB microphones, like the one shown below, easily connect to your computer and Skype and exponentially improve your sound quality. We like Blue Microphone's Snowball ($68) as it offers great sound for price, or you can upgrade to their Yeti ($106) for even higher quality sound.
- Headsets or lavalier (lapel) mics can also capture high quality sound, however they will likely appear in your shot and can be more difficult to configure for Skype than the examples mentioned above.
Background & Setting
You want to select a private space with as little background noise and other distractions as possible. Access to filtered, natural light can also benefit your picture quality.
You also want to consider what will be behind you on-camera. If you have access to an interesting space, featuring it behind you can create a unique setting for your videos. For many of us, a backdrop (similar to what you've seen in a photo studio) is preferred as it provides a neutral, recreatable background.
We like to use a white backdrop for a clean, modern look. Other colors like grey or blue can work well too, but avoid patterns or textures. Backdrops can be purchased individually for around $40, but if you're interested in using a backdrop we recommend purchasing a kit like the Cowboystudio Triple Lighting with Backdrop Kit ($160) which contains backdrops, a stand, and three lamps to light the backdrop.
If you purchase a new backdrop it will often contain several creases and wrinkles when hung for the first time. Use a fabric steamer to relax the fabric to achieve a smooth backdrop. The Conair Gs33r Compact Fabric Steamer ($30) is inexpensive and works well in our studio.
Bright, even lighting is your primary objective. As these samples below demonstrate, relying on room light alone results in footage that is under lit (top). The picture becomes muddy, the colors dull, and there are strong shadows on the figure's face.
We use two small desk lamps ($23 each) with copy paper diffusers to light our foreground, and a three piece lighting kit to light our backdrop (see diagram below). While a backdrop is optional we feel that a few inexpensive lamps to provide additional foreground light where needed are indispensable.
If you have space or a need for a full lighting kit, the Cowboystudio Triple Lighting Kit ($60) is a reliable kit which will provide plenty of diffused light for you to work with.
Another note about lighting: when on our call we also like to dim our monitor as much as possible so we can still see our guests while creating as little light as possible. Light off the computer screen doesn't photograph well and should be avoided on the face as much as possible.
Studio Setup
Use Skype to preview your shot (#1) and adjust your lighting as needed. You're looking to evenly light your face. The main light (#2) is your primary light source, while the fill light (#3) comes from the other direction, generally less intense, to bring down the shadows created by the main light.
Two desk lamps ($23 each) with copy paper taped in front of them to act as diffusers (as shown below) are highly effective at providing additional soft light for your webcam, just keep an eye on heat. You may need up to three back lights (#4) to light your backdrop (#5). Other backgrounds can be used but avoid too much activity as it can negatively impact video quality.
Framing Your Shot
For interviews, you'll probably want to stick with one of the two framing options below; either centering yourself in the frame (left) or follow the "rule of thirds" (right).
Web Interview Checklist
To wrap this up, here is a quick checklist you should review before punching record and going on-air:
- Find a quiet, private space to record your interview
- Get your computer running Skype and your Skype recording software
- Make sure you have fast internet and an HD webcam
- Turn off your phone(s)
- Put on solid colored clothing that is business appropriate and contrasts with your background
- Last, but not least, lock up nearby pets

Religious life proved to be the right choice. He felt drawn to spend time in seclusion and prayer, but his administrative talents also made him a natural for other tasks. He helped in the establishment of what is now the Gregorian University in Rome. Not long after his ordination he served as political and spiritual adviser to the emperor. In Spain, he founded a dozen colleges.
At 55, Francis was elected head of the Jesuits. He focused on the growth of the Society of Jesus, the spiritual preparation of its new members and spreading the faith in many parts of Europe. He was responsible for the founding of Jesuit missions in Florida, Mexico and Peru.
Francis Borgia is often regarded as the second founder of the Jesuits. He died in 1572 and was canonized 100 years later.

Henry Rollins
Went to see Henry speak tonight. Wow is all I can say. Been a fan for a long time and I was not let down. I strongly suggest if you have the opportunity to add one or more of his talks to your life experiences that you do so. Has anyone out there had the chance and did you enjoy it as much as I did?

Fitness boost for Burnley winger Wallace
Updated 5:15pm Monday 6th January 2014 in Sport
BURNLEY winger Ross Wallace has begun his comeback from knee surgery in a behind-closed-doors friendly with Wolves.
The Scot has been sidelined since August after an operation to repair "wear and tear" damage.
But he returned to action this afternoon with a 45-minute run-out in a 1-0 win for Burnley's development squad, and came through unscathed.
"Ross is continuing progress with his rehab and we are doing that wisely and sensibly, which is why he played 45 minutes today," said Burnley boss Sean Dyche.
"We will now build that up as we, and he, feels comfortable with in order to get him back to full fitness.
"Ross is on schedule and we want to make sure he is right and proper and that is exactly how things are going at the moment."
Wallace was joined in the Clarets side by full back Joseph Mills, who has returned from a successful loan spell wit Oldham Athletic and also played 45 minutes.
New Zealand international Cameron Howieson was the goalscorer as Simon Weatherstone's side beat Wolves.
The Development Squad will travel to Liverpool later this week for another friendly, with Wallace again set to feature.

text: The Board of Washington County Commissioners adopted a Resolution "Declaring a Moratorium on the Applications for Any and All Permitted Activity" relating to Amendment 64. The moratorium further states, "The Board of County Commissioners finds that the State is currently undertaking rule making activities and promulgating regulations as required for implementation of Amendment 64, and thus until such regulations and/or ultimate statutes are approved, this Board cannot regulate any activity for which Amendment 64 would allow and it is impossible to promulgate zoning regulations under these circumstances." The Board's action creates a moratorium period declared from 12:00 a.m., January 1, 2013, to 12:00 a.m., June 29, 2013, or until further action of this Board ending or modifying this moratorium, whichever occurs first. Such further action may be taken by resolution of the Board, as the Board deems appropriate. The Resolution continues by stating, "No applications for any permitted activity allowed under Amendment 64 pertaining to marijuana or commercial activity including, but not limited to, sales and use tax, amendments to the official zoning regulations of Washington County, site development, sign permits as may be required by the Use By Special Review regulations, or building permits shall be accepted for review by the County during the moratorium period." Uncertainty created by the ambiguous wording contained in the Amendment causes numerous questions or conflicts within Colorado Statutes which may require litigation through the courts, according to county attorneys who made presentations at the 2012 Colorado Counties Inc. Winter Conference in December. "In short there are too many questions needing addressed before we determine how Amendment 64 impacts the county and how we officially create governance because of the amendment," Commissioner David Foy said. Only the unincorporated portions of Washington County are impacted by this Resolution.

So pleasantly surprised when I woke up this morning and heard that S/S won!
So pleasantly surprised when I woke up this morning and heard that S/S won!
And here is their SP:
I am still on cloud nine.
What they can do or hope:
1) call Tonya Harding for physical advices
2) Johnny Weir and Maxim officially announce their relationship at the Olympic so poutine will apply his new law
3) Tatiana join the pussy riot and to poutine, so she end up in jail
On a more serious note, they have to be perfect and hope V/T make at lest one major mistake. It's sad but if the russians are clean in the short and free, combined with the politicks (cheating ) and home advantage, it would be almost impossible for them to win...Hope I'm wrong !
Last edited by chmea; 12-08-2013 at 06:03 AM.
Peter Carruthers in commenting today kept on mentioning that V&T messed up bc S&S really got to V. The Olympics is largely a mental thing so it might have done them good to see how they skate when S&S skate well. It obviously psyched V up, so she knows now she has to work on how she deals w that mental issue should it happen at the Olympics.
Yes, one key for S/S in Sochi would be to stay calm and in control, and instead of suffering the pressure, put pressure on V/T.
It felt so good to see them skate clean again after all of their struggles last season and earlier this year. I hope they can repeat these performances again in Sochi!
After the Grand Prix Final anything is possible.

Night life at BYU has a different meaning from many other schools. Every Monday evening, there is family home evening. Parties are not super important, and there is pretty much no drinking happening.
Overall Experience:
The computer science classes tend to be fairly large in the lower levels and very small in the higher levels. Students tend not to attend the lectures for the computer science classes. Religion classes tend to be fairly large, and students tend to attend the religion lectures. In general the lower level classes tend to be large.
Overall Experience:
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) chapter is fairly active. ACM meetings are bi-monthly and have recruiters most of the time. ACM also hosts recruitment lunches and dinners regularly. BYU also has a general career fair and a STEM career fair every semester.
Campus Dining:
They should have more choices and student discounts.
There is basically no real party scene out in the open. There are some there, but they are secret, since you could get kicked out of school for that kind of partying.
As a BGS student, there are not many options to my major. I would have preferred something a little different than I'm ending up with.
On campus has one of the best library systems in the nation. If you want space to study, it's not hard to find.
Local Atmosphere:
Most of the people encourage students. Occasional grumpiness about them due to bad experiences with students. Lots of Mormon activities.
Guys & Girls:
Focus is on religion, with prayers in each class. This is not a party school, and it's nice to have others around who want it that way.
Off-Campus Housing:
I've lived in both expensive and cheap places around town, and you can really find whatever you're looking for.
I didn't apply for financial aid so I don't have any experience there.
BYU is a very beautiful campus and is very art-centered.
I was a psychology major. There were no program requirements for entry.
I loved the classes and facutly. Curriculum and interesting and engaging.
If you're hoping for a party school you're probably not going to pick BYU.
Campus Strictness:
If you choose to attend BYU, you know it has LDS standards and you know what you're getting into.
A good amount of foreign students are accepted, and while the majority of students are heterosexual people are still given respect and friendship regardless of orientation.
Health & Safety:
I only heard 1 rumor of sexual assault on campus, and it was many years ago. It just doesn't happen here.
Greek Life:
I don't really know what Greek Life is, so we probably don't have it.
Guys & Girls:
Attractive student body. People take care of their appearance more than most, and since academic standards are very high nearly everyone is very smart.
The campus is beautiful, the only downside to it is that construction never seems to end. Creating a beautiful and effective environment is important to the school, so they are always tearing down old buildings that have outlived their usefulness and building newer, more beautiful ones.
I love my major and my department. There are so many opportunities to participate in research, work individually and in groups with professors, and assist other students. I'm an astronomy major and I can't think of another university which would allow me weekly access to an on-campus 16'' telescope.
I haven't done an internship at this school, the school assists students in finding internships at other schools to broaden our network in the field
Okay, so it doesn't have the largest variety, but I've always felt it is a very accepting school . Despite being a religious university, I've met several students who are not of the same religious beliefs who enjoy being here and felt included at the school
Campus Dining:
The Food Court has a large variety which covers a large range of value and quality. I have always been able to find something I want regardless of my mood. The Food court is in a pretty good location for most classes, but several other buildings on campus also have dining available, so you never have to walk to far for food.

A BYU experience is unlike anything else. The things that you will learn go far beyond what is taught in the classrooms, and the people that you will meet are exceptional. Researching the school, and being familiar with the rules and expectations of students, will make the transition smoother and help you get the most out of your BYU experience.
Talking with people who have attended, reading books such as this one, and looking at the BYU Web site (www.byu.edu) are all great ways to make sure that this is really the school for you. If you decide that BYU is what you want, then jump in and enjoy it! You are in for a great and character-building experience.

Update, 4 p.m.: The company that employs the injured workers is Seattle-based Compass General Construction, according to Redmond Fire spokesman Jim Bove.
Original story:
A scaffolding collapse has left at least four construction workers with minor injuries in downtown Redmond, according to Jim Bove of the Redmond Police Department.
The incident took place when a portion of formwork that was supporting the floor during a concrete pour collapsed at around 11:45 a.m., according to a news release from the Redmond Fire Department. It happened near the intersection of Cleveland Street and 164th Avenue Northeast, Bove said. A six-story mixed-use development called Centerpointe is currently under construction at that location.
Bove said at least four people suffered minor injuries and that three were transported to local hospitals as a precautionary measure.
The scaffolding that collapsed was located about 25 to 30 feet above the ground, according to Bove. It's unclear at this point whether the workers fell or were on the ground at the time of the incident.
Woodinville, Kirkland and Redmond firefighters responded to the collapse. A team of fire personnel and structural engineers searched the building and determined no one else was affected by the collapse. The cause is under investigation.

The girl tells Lydia that Charlie has sexually abused her, and that she is terrified of what he will do if she tells. By law, Lydia must report the teenager's charges. What happens when she does will test her strength, her love, and her belief in the power of God to comfort, redeem, and heal.

Daily Star
---- — Shop Talk is a weekly column featuring locally owned and operated businesses. This week, we talk to Russel Matson, who owns and operates The Meadows Golf Center and All American BBQ with his wife, Julie Hernandez, in Margaretville.
How long have you lived in the area?
We purchased our Margaretville home in 2000.
Tell me about your business:
We're a family-friendly nine-hole golf course, with a practice range, a miniature golf course under construction and a Southern barbecue restaurant and caterer located on 25 valley acres fronting the East Branch of the Delaware River.
Describe a typical day in your business:
Barbecue is served on Saturday and Sunday. The alarm clock is set for 5 a.m.; I arrive at work by 6. I start a hardwood fire in our Lang Model 84 cooker smoker, then jump on our greens mower to begin cutting the greens. I return to the shop after cutting greens for holes 9, 8, 7, 6, and 1 to check on the fire and add more wood. I then cut the practice green and holes 2,3,4, and 5 before checking the fire again. I watch to see if the cooker has reached 190 degrees before adjusting the dampers and add wood as needed.
By 7:30, I jump on a golf cart to put the flags out on each putting green and on the practice green. I return to the barbecue commissary to prepare that day's meat. I do the butchering of our St. Louis cut rack of ribs, then dry-rub them before they go into cooker smoker. I've cooked my own barbecue sauces for 40 years and it will soon be in neighborhood supermarkets.
The rest of the day is spent cooking and serving barbecue, cleaning up, helping in the shop and on the driving range (giving lessons), fixing golf clubs, preparing food for party pickups and finally finishing up my day by sitting in our Cushman turf trickster picking up all of the golf balls hit onto the driving range. After that, I go home for a few hours of paperwork.
How did you get started in this line of work?
I learned to cook when I was 14 and my dad was hospitalized. Mom spent the dinner hours visiting with him; I liked to eat, so I cooked my own dinner and saved her a plate. Later on, when I was in college, I was elected the kitchen steward of my 50-member fraternity. This is where I got my first taste of quantity cookery including menu planning, ordering food, training cooks and dishwashers, and cooking dinners twice a week, a weekday dinner and a fancier Sunday dinner for members and their guests. My interest in golf started after I graduated from college and worked for a Japanese company where everybody played golf.
Where do you see this business in five years?
Our ultimate goal is to be declared the Delaware County Tourism Business of the Year. We might never attain it, but we want to work towards that goal by living by our motto "Where Golf is Fun for Everyone." Thanks to Gordie Faulkner from Stamford, we got our Junior Golf program under way this year. We want to expand our junior program exponentially, and we also want to serve the disabled communities. We want to become a premier golf-teaching facility. All American BBQ wants to be known as a top barbecue in New York and the northeastern United States. A guest spot on the Food Channel would be great also.
Describe a memorable moment in your workplace:
Getting a trophy for chicken at my first and only barbecue competition, the St. Raymond's "Grillin' on the Bay" in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.
What have you learned from your work?
That it is best to always have a plan but expect that circumstances will always intervene to send those plans awry.
What is the most challenging part of what you do?
Managing and prioritizing my time. There always seems to be more things to do than time will allow.
The most enjoyable?
Putting a smile on people's faces, whether it is the taste of genuine barbecue, or offering a tip that helps a struggling golfer.
How do you define success for your business?
Success will be measured in the quality and quantities of memories of those whose lives we have touched.
What are some advantages as well as drawbacks of doing business in this area?
Our business taps disposable income _ something that many people just don't have a lot of these days. High unemployment and rising energy costs make it tougher to attract customers. Luckily, our area is relatively affordable, and our business in particular reaches out to the value-conscious consumer.
What sets you apart from your competitors?
We set the bar lower than most any other golf course. We are unpretentious and family-friendly. We allow "walkers" to enjoy the course along with their golf playing partners and we don't enforce too many rules. All American BBQ strives to serve a variety of meats and sides culled and reverse-engineered from our travels over the years. If it's cooked over flame, we want to taste it and be prepared to add it to our menu.
What advice would you give to someone trying to enter your field of work?
Be prepared for long hours _ not just the hours the business is open, but the hundreds of hours developing marketing plans and materials, and of course doing the more mundane bookkeeping and payroll. Make sure you have a passion for whatever field of work you intend to be in. Life is too short to spend time in the wrong job or career. These are the United States of America; you can grow up to be anything you like.
