03/08/2013 - The first major overhaul of the nation's food safety system since the Great Depression is moving forward, now that the Food and Drug Administration has proposed new rules aimed at halting the contamination of produce and processed foods.The rules represent a sea change in the approach to food safety. They would give federal regulators the authority to require fruit and vegetable growers and food manufacturers to prevent outbreaks of foodborne illness from tainted foods such as peanut butter, leafy greens, and cantaloupes. Each year outbreaks sicken an estimated 48 million Americans and kill 3,000. The proactive approach is a significant change in how the FDA works. Previously, federal authorities generally would shut down food companies only after contamination occurred and people got sick. Once the rules are finalized, manufacturers will be required to have detailed safety plans, and those that do not meet standards can be shut down—before contaminated food reaches the marketplace.The new rules are a long-awaited step in implementing the landmark FDA Food Safety Modernization Act. "With the support of industry, consumer groups, and the bipartisan leadership in Congress, we are establishing a science-based, flexible system to better prevent foodborne illness and protect American families," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in announcing the draft rules. Pew has been a leader in supporting those efforts, bringing together victims of foodborne illnesses, health advocates, and industry organizations to help win passage of the law and to continue to push for the rules and for more resources for the FDA. Congress passed the law in late 2010, and President Barack Obama signed it on Jan. 4, 2011. (See Trust, Summer 2011, "Putting Food Safety on the Menu.")Passage of the act was a historic moment: The FDA's food safety authority had not been substantially updated since the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. But the world of food had changed dramatically over the decades, with consumers eating much more packaged and processed food with ingredients coming from around the globe. "The law is a game changer," said Sandra Eskin, who directs Pew's food safety projects. "Rather than wait for people to get sick, FDA can step in and close a plant before a single person becomes ill. That's a huge step forward for the safety of the nation's food supply and consumers."Erik Olson, who leads Pew's food programs, noted that not only does the law change the emphasis from reaction to prevention, it also has broad scope. "Eighty percent of the country's food supply is regulated by the FDA. It's nearly everything except meat and poultry," he said.But as extensive and precedent-setting as the new law was, it still required new rules to enact its provisions, and for months nothing happened. Pew worked with its partners to urge the administration to move on the rules and keep its promise to ensure the safety of the food supply. The efforts included public statements, op-eds, advertisements, polling that showed people widely favored the new regulations, and other public calls to follow through on the landmark law. Calls for the rules grew louder as additional outbreaks of foodborne illnesses occurred after the president signed the law. By last December, there had been 15 outbreaks since the law had been signed, with 1,395 illnesses, 437 hospitalizations, and 40 deaths.In 2011, a listeria outbreak traced to cantaloupes killed 33 people, the largest number of deaths from a single outbreak in more than 25 years. Last November, salmonella sickened 42 people and was traced to a peanut butter plant in New Mexico. Even without the rules, the FDA used its new power under the law for the first time to temporarily halt production at the facility. The long wait caused consternation among industry representatives and health advocates. In December, Pew delivered an online petition to the White House with 35,000 signatures urging the president to issue the rules, emphasizing strong public support for the measures.In January, the FDA announced the long-awaited rules, two years to the day that the president signed the food safety act.Industry groups said they welcomed the proposals and noted that many growers and processors already maintain high standards in their production facilities. There will be a comment period through mid-May.The new rules are an essential first step because they address "the heart and soul" of the law, Eskin said. "This was as big a win as the legislation itself. These rules put the law into place," she said.The rules focus on two key areas. Processing plants would have to ensure and document efforts to minimize contamination. While many processors do this already, before the new law there was no legal obligation on them to do so. Farms also would need to make sure that unsanitary water and animal waste don't contaminate crops. They would need to have lavatory and hand-washing facilities for field workers and clean storage for fruits and vegetables after harvesting.Pew's efforts to enact the law continue. Other proposals associated with the food safety law are still being considered by the White House and the FDA is drafting rules to implement other provisions of the act. One addresses prevention-based requirements for pet food. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that in a number of recent outbreaks, contaminated pet food made people sick from handling it and from interacting with pets that had eaten it.Another would for the first time hold companies responsible for making sure foods they import are produced in ways consistent with U.S. safety laws. About 15 percent of the nation's food comes from overseas, and imports are growing by approximately 10 percent each year. Many experts on the food industry see these import rules as crucial to "leveling the playing field" by ensuring that importers are living by the same high safety standards as U.S. producers with whom they compete.Pew plans to advocate for those rules as well as to ensure the FDA has the resources necessary to enforce the law and ramp up facility inspections—which will increase threefold under the new law."We will continue to work with industry, consumer advocates, survivors of foodborne illness, their families, and the administration to ensure that the remaining proposed rules are soon released—and that all the regulations are as strong as possible, quickly finalized, and effectively enforced," Olson said.Daniel LeDuc is the editor of Trust.

I welcome the California Supreme Court's historic decision. I have long fought against discrimination and believe that the State Constitution provides for equal treatment for all of California's citizens and families, which today's decision recognizes.
I commend the plaintiffs from San Francisco for their courage and commitment. I encourage California citizens to respect the Court's decision, and I continue to strongly oppose any ballot measure that would write discrimination into the State Constitution.
Today is a significant milestone for which all Californians can take pride.

Root Beer Float Popsicles
Author Notes: I wanted to create a root beer float that was easily accessible, all in one treat...so that we could simply reach into the freezer at any moment and enjoy the flavors of a float.
Hence the creation of the root beer float popsicle. And if you want to you can use low fat yogurt, and Hanson's Diet Root Beer...so you can eat them guilt free!
Totally cute, totally portable, and great for an outside gathering!
- Bite This
Makes approx 12 popsicles
- 500 milliliters Root Beer (diet or regular)
- 2.5 cups Vanilla Yogurt (low fat works well)
- 10-14 Dixie Cups
- 10 Wooden popsicle or craft sticks
- Snip the top edge of Dixie cup with scissors for easy peeling. Place Dixie cups on a baking tray.
- Mix about 1/4-1/2 cup root beer (to taste) with 1 1/4 cup yogurt. Add enough root beer to add a hint of flavor to the yogurt. Divide this mixture between the cups, filling 1/3 the way up each cup. Freeze for two hours or until mixture starts to solidify enough to hold a Popsicle stick upright. (insert Popsicle stick into each cup). Continue to freeze until mixture is completely frozen.
- Now pour root beer into the cups, leaving the top 1/3 of the cup empty. Continue to freeze until the root beer is completely frozen.
- Make the same mixture as in step 2, and top off the cups with the yogurt mixture. Again, place and freezer until the Popsicles are completely frozen.
- If you want to serve a bunch at the same time, pop a metal serving plate or cake stand into the freezer for at least an hour. Remove from freezer and cover with a layer of ice, and place Popsicles on the ice to slow the melting process. This works well for backyard parties (looks pretty too).

Neighborhoods: Cambrian
Awww you gotta love this "throw back" bowling alley – How can you not love a bowling alley that has a bar with "elves / trolls" on a mural in the bar?
Sure, there are fancier bowling alleys but Cambrian Bowl keeps things REAL!
Great service, great french fries!
cambrian bowl – I have only bowled for a couple of years here but the time i have bowled its been great. They are family orientated and the front desk gals are really nice. My wife decided to put our grandson in the pee wee league and the lady that runs that is not the sharpest tool in the shed so we pulled him out. The only complaint i have is who ever runs that league has no idea what social skills are especially with kids. Other than that i feel this is a great place to bowl and bring yyour family on your own time. The staff is polite and always willing to help.
Cambrian Bowl – I've been bowling at Cambrian for years. Everyone is so courtesy (even the owner says Hi). The bowling establishment is a little old but very clean. The french fries are excellent. I've found that the employee's their are true professional at their jobs. The woman at the front desk (Marilyn) is very reliable, courtesy and helpful. If I was an owner of a business she would be the first one I would hire because you can always count on her. It's a great place to bowl and the prices their are very affordable.
happy bowling
cambrian bowl can be a fun place to go to. friday & saturday night they play music. why don't they play music on the other nights?
I see some things never change.
I have had some problems with the front desk day person. It seems she can do no wrong. If I had a empolyee with that additude, she would be fired.
Is she relatived to some one who works there?
Is it that hard to find someone to stand there & ring in customers, and be nice. It looks like we are interruping her sitting. and what ever you do, don't let your children go to her unattended. she is rude to them.
the other lady must be her mom, as she protects her when ever you have a negative question. It's like momma bear to the rescue. then when you walk away, feeling like Sh_t, you hear them laughing. If I have a question about any thing, I would think they are there to HELP. what a concept.
they also degrade their empolyee's in front of customers...what a power trip they have.
I guess I'll spend my money else were.
Cambrian Bowl – This bowling ally is pretty old, being that my parents bowled here in the early seventies. But it certainly has a wonderfull atmosphere and for the most part friendly employees. Only encountered one small problem when i went with my little brother once during the day. He had some discounted passes given to him through his school, the extremely rude lady that was working did her best to make us feel very uncomfortable as if we had put her out. After confronting her she let me know that she did'nt feel like honoring them any more, and that the schools did'nt pass them out correctly. The other two employes behind her the whole while just scowled as if they wanted to give us a piece of their minds too! So i recommend going in the evening when the younger group are working they seem to be much more respectfull and not so intent on being rude to people or making them feel unwelcome.... the rude people work from opening until about 4 oclock
Best bowling value in the Bay – I love this bowling alley for a multitude of reasons-- It's incredibly cheap if you come on the right night. Check to make sure, but i think that mon-thu after 9pm its something like 2 bucks a game or something ridiculous like that. Despite this great deal, there's never a wait for lanes. Also, they play KFOX classic rock radio on the house speakers all day every day so you don't have to suffer through some 14 year-old girl's jukebox selection while you bowl. The crowd is the usual mix of creepy old guys who are awesome at bowling and giggling preteens who aren't.
If Fred Flintstone lived in Silicon Valley, he would be a regular here. – In Short
Don't let the somewhat dilapidated appearance fool you, this place is a bowler's paradise. With 32 lanes, a well-appointed pro shop and various leagues, tournaments and other events, this bowling alley has something for everyone. If you're sick of rolling gutter balls, you can drown your sorrows in the cocktail lounge, which, from 9:00pm-1:00am every Saturday night, turns into a karaoke lounge.

Now that the DISCLOSE Act has passed the House, it's worth considering anew the NRA's decision not to oppose the bill in exchange for an exemption for itself. Perhaps news of the demise of DISCLOSE was a bit premature.
In a letter to The Washington Post, the NRA's Chris Cox defends the group's decision:
It's easy to say the NRA should put the Second Amendment at risk over a First Amendment principle to protect other organizations—unless you work for the NRA and are sworn to defend the Second Amendment above all else. The NRA cannot defend the Second Amendment without the ability to speak.
But why would anyone defend the Second Amendment "above all else"?
As both a gun owner and a staunch advocate of individual rights, I'm a big fan of the Second Amendment. But gun rights are important because all rights are important. Compromising on the protection of any rights ultimately destroys protections for all of them. We can't pick a list of favored rights and jettison protections for all the others—not if we want them to be treated as rights, rather than mere privileges doled out to us or taken away from us at the whim of a government official.
Unfortunately, that appears to be the NRA's position—the First Amendment is expendable as long as we still have the Second. That's both unprincipled and foolish, because without protections for free speech, we will end up losing all rights, including our right to keep and bear arms.

New San Antonio homeowners are the target of a new solicitation company papering homes with their flyers.
The flyer, delivered by a company called GeoTrek, looks like a parcel-delivery notice.
When one of the numbers is called, however, an agent tries to sell you things instead.
The company will also sell your information to other companies if you choose to provide them with personal information.
GeoTrek uses the tax appraisal district to get information on new homeowners in town.
The practice, however, is perfectly legal.

A Potent Anti-Microbial
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by HawaiianViking From Hawaii on Aug 20, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I generally trust Gaia brand more than most others, and this product is one reason: The oregano oil inside the capsules is dark, rich and thick, not runny and light as in so many other oil of oregano capsules. It is more expensive intially, but it's so potent that it really is a good value. Oil of Oregano is one of those anti-microbials, together with Neem and Barlean's Olive Leaf Extract and Monolaurin, that I always have at home and that I carry when I travel as part of a natural first-aid kit. Try Oil of Oregano if you're suffering from gastrointestinal upset, and it's also good (I've found) for hayfever and other allergy-related congestion. If I could offer a suggestion, it would be to take Oil of Oregano only when needed — this is too powerful to be taken as a daily supplement unless directed to do so by a medical professional — and because it's so powerfully anti-microbial, you ought to consume probiotics after you've finished treating, to replace the good flora that may have been killed off by the Oil of Oregano.
Gaia herbs get rid of foot fungus, when nothing else can!

Great product at such a reasonable price. Get an occasional oregano after-taste, but hey- it's oregano oil. Have had some "major" gastrointestinal problems and this seems to be helping out. So far, so good.

Having a Craftsman 25 gallon air compressor in the workshop with a 100ft 3\8" hose reel has seemed the way to go when maintaining our auto tires. However, pulling out the hose and snagging other equipment or furniture was always a pain. Then I came across the C3 19.2v inflator that appeared it might be a much more convenient solution!
Sure enough, it easily keeps our auto tires topped off and provides plenty of air to inflate smaller sport balls and pneumatic tractor tires. The built in digital gauge is accurate and the auto setting shut off is a nice touch. The supplied hose and chuck, although not industrial grade for heavy duty use, provides enough quality to get all of my around-the-house needs done.
As per all of my C3 portable shop\home tools (about 10), this little cordless air compressor is solid quality and a good value. It is easy and convenient for the family to use and when the job calls for a quick shot of cool air, this baby is a nice solution.

This is a great little tool. Bought it to inflate my wheelchair tires. Worked fine for the first ten or so uses. Then the crappy, poorly designed and constructed, hose end air chuck failed. It would no longer stay attached to the tire valve stem. Sears wants $25 to replace the hose and chuck assembly with what appears to be the same crappy chuck! This is more than half of what I paid for the entire tool! It would be nice if the automatic function would work to about 60 psi or more. I would NOT recommend to a friend unless Sears fixes the chuck design, which is a common item of complaint with other users.

This does well if used on things like bike tires. It does not work well on things using the pinch valve adapter.
Lake Havasu City, AZ
We used this extensively at the ranch to fill bicycle to tractor tires. After 4 months the rubber valve insert did not hold it to the valve stem leaking more air than it put in. Recently the lever snapped off. Something you would expect from a Chinese product. Oh, excuse me...it is made in China. Someone needs to re-design the valve chuck.

Loved this tool until after about 3yrs of light use (bike tires, wheel barrow tire, etc.) the clamp snapped off the hose. Cheap plastic attachment. Sears tells me its $35 to replace the hose. I paid $44 for the whole thing brand new! The pump still works fine but its useless without the hose. No way I would buy another.

I have three of these inflators, one in each vehicle and one in the garage. They are reasonable in price, reliable, powerful, durable and handy because of their lightness, portability and versatility. They are best powered by Craftsman C3 19.2-Volt XCP High Capacity Lithium-Ion Battery Pack. While the XCP is expensive, it's incredibly powerful, long-lasting, and operates at full power until it is depleted, and thus worth the price. -- tpldbl in McMurray PA

Do a lot of work on 3 and 4 wheelers as well as personal vehicles and this is amazingly efficient and convenient! Works great and the lock and leave feature is perfect. This replaced my Sears car model that finally had enough after years of use. Love the C3 line and am up to 4 tos now!

Never in doubt
In May of 1989 Arsenal and Liverpool were battling for the league title. It came down to the final game of the season, Arsenal had to win by two clear goals.
The idea of Liverpool losing by two clear goals at Anfield was almost laughable. They had dominated for so long throughout the 80s, that nobody really gave Arsenal a chance of doing it. The Gunners had, it seemed, blown their chance at winning the title when they lost 2-1 to Derby at Highbury a couple of weeks beforehand.
Everybody knows, at this stage, what happened. Alan Smith nodded Arsenal in front in the 52nd minute. There followed an excruciating, nail biting, 40 minutes in which Arsenal failed to score again.
The game was running down to its conclusion. Steve McMahon signalled to his teammates that just one minute remained. Liverpool just needed to keep the ball, so it remains a mystery why John Barnes, an experienced player, attempted a cross when he could have taken the ball to the corner.
We know that as the clock ticked ever downwards, the final whistle approaching any second, John Lukic fed Lee Dixon, Dixon pumped it forward to Smith, he knocked it on for Michael Thomas and the midfielder was through on goal. To this day, looking at replays, it seems as if he's taken too long to take the shot, that the delay would see the opening snuffed out.
But in it went, Thomas celebrated like a fish out of water, flopping about, desperate for air. With the last kick of the season, Arsenal were crowned champions for the first time since 1971. Liverpool's players were devastated, prostrate with despair. The Arsenal players went to the corner of travelling fans who knew the league was theirs in the most dramatic ending to a season ever.
Forget what people try and tell you about Manchester City's title win. They beat 10 man relegation fodder. Arsenal, while not quite David, had slain a true Goliath. In the director's box, the story goes that the Arsenal chairman, Peter Hill-Wood, popped a cigar in his mouth, lit it and turned to fellow director David Dein.
Unruffled, the very essence of calm, he turned to Dein and said, "Never in doubt."
This week, Hill-Wood stepped down as Arsenal chairman, having been in the role since 1982. He succeeded his father Denis, his grandfather before him took over as Chairman in 1929.
- Hill-Wood steps down as Arsenal chief
Modern football has moved on, things change, and clubs are now owned and run by billionaires. The role of Chairman at Arsenal has become largely ceremonial in the last few years. Stan Kroenke calls the shots these days. It's hard to imagine the American reacting in such fashion to such a dramatic win. Mostly because he rarely attends Arsenal games, but that's another story.
All things must come to an end, and this week Arsenal have lost a part of their tradition, a part of the history of the club. But the future brings new events, new faces, and new chapters in the book of a football club which will live beyond any name.
'Never in doubt', as the former Chairman might say.

Blagojevich Arrives In Colorado, Reports To Prison
By Eyder Peralta
A day after delivering a defiant speech in which he proclaimed his innocence, disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich flew to Colorado and reported to prison to begin serving his 14-year sentence.
The AP reports:
"Followed by helicopters and television news crews broadcasting his every move, the 55-year-old Democrat pulled up in a black SUV at the Federal Correctional Institution Englewood in suburban Denver just before 1 p.m. after stopping for lunch and taking a break to make a cellphone call."
It means we won't be seeing much of the colorful Blagojevich for a while.

Technically my first kiss came from Scott Sullenger when I was 14. I was a 9th grade D-lister and he was a pudgy 10th grade band geek who wore striped polo shirts buttoned to the neck and black freak boots.
When he asked me out, there in front of the band hall between first and second periods, I stood there like a drooling idiot, imperceptibly nodding for no less than 30 seconds. I remember that moment pretty clearly. I was a young doe caught in the glare of my very first "Will you go out with me?" Poor Scott. He stood there with his eyebrows raised and his chin tucked, I'm sure taking my silence as a hesitation or possible rejection. Finally I got my head bobbing enough that he could read my nod and we became a couple.
The first time we kissed, it was on the front sidewalk at my house and he timed it with his big black plastic calculator watch. I don't remember what the parameters of the kiss were supposed to be, but I do remember thinking, "This is stoopid." He was no Casanova, that's fer sure.
Sometime in the next few months, I went to visit my dad in Killeen. Across the street from his house lived a redheaded Opie Taylor look-alike named Eddie. I had met Eddie on previous visits and he had treated me like a pariah because I was a GURL. But now we were 14, he was a cute football player in a net jersey, I was a girl in need of some interesting stuff to put in my diary, and hormones were running the show. Things were different.
One night Eddie's parents invited all of us over for dinner. I remember that we had Yaki Mandu and it was to die for. After dinner, the adults pulled out the dominoes and, in a haze of cigarette smoke and raucous adult laughter, shooed us kids outside. Eddie had a fort in his backyard that all the little kids loved. It was a shallow hole dug out of the dirt, much like a WWI trench, and it was covered with a big piece of corrugated tin. We hung out in there for a bit, with our necks bent and our legs cramped, arguing about what we should DO. Finally, someone suggested hide and seek. Eddie volunteered us two big kids to be It for the first round.
Base was Eddie's garage. He led the way inside, hollering "1! 2! 3!..." while the little kids scrambled for the best hiding spots. It was dark and I was tingling with anticipation of what might happen, and fearing a big let down. I leaned my back up against the wall while he was hollering at the little kids and tried to look alluring, yet aloof. He wasn't fooled. He put his palms flat on the wall above my shoulders, leaned in so close that our bellies were touching, and kissed me like he knew what he was doing. I had never, ever been that close to a boy before and I thought I would MELT.
We spent the rest of the night in his garage making out and hollering "Ready or not, here we come!" every so often to keep the little kids at bay. I don't recall if we ever really looked for any of them or not!
I stayed at Dad's a few more days, but Eddie had to go to San Antonio the next day to visit family. While in San Antonio, he sent five or six letters to my house in Dallas full of gushy "I love yous" and "I miss yous" and even threw in a proposal or two. They beat me home and my mother, seeing the hearts around my name on the envelopes, was alarmed and opened the letters. then proceeded to flip right the heck OUT. It was ugly. She called Dad and made a big scene. In one of those letters Eddie included a $2 bill adorned with "Eddie + Betsy = Love 4ever." I still have it somewhere.
I guess I was still dating Scott, because when I got home, I tried to kiss him like Eddie had kissed me, but it just did not work. He was too rigid. We broke up soon afterwards.
I know that Scott was technically my first kiss, but Eddie was my first REAL kiss and he's the one I think of when the topic comes up.
I never saw Eddie again. We wrote back and forth for a couple of weeks, and that was it. Last I heard he was married with a couple of kids, selling cars or something equally as exciting.
I just printed out the recipe for Yaki Mandu and I think I'll damn the diet and whip some up this weekend in honor of my impending 40th birthday, and think about that night in Eddie's garage.

to have that feeling again... where does it all go so wrong? lol
that poor chubster boy is probably still carrying a torch for you ;)
and Happy 40th Burfday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
this one had me rolling, you are a TERRIFIC writer!!!
i read your stories multiple times & still like them
Great story, and so like so many I think. My first French kiss was by a much older boy (maybe 3 grades ahead) and it was AWE-FUL. He had a mooshy tongue and just shoved it right in with no warning at all. I thought I was going to vomit!!
I remember the first GOOD French kiss with much more fondness. I just try to think of THAT one as the first... LOL.

New Battleground Poll Finds Majority Believe Stimulus "On Track," Congressional Democrats trusted with "turning the economy around"
The George Washington University Battleground Poll, a bipartisan survey produced by Democratic firm Lake Research Partners and Republican firm Tarrance Group, surveyed 1,007 registered likely voters nationwide July 19-23, 2009 and found:
- 58 percent of all respondents (52 percent of independents), agree ("strongly" or "somewhat") that "The economic stimulus legislation passed by Congress is on track, but should be given a year to really make a difference."
- 57 percent say their viewpoint comes closer to the statement: "Some people say that our current economic problems were made worse by the mistakes of the Bush administration. The President and Congress moved aggressively and should be given a year to have their solutions really make a difference."
- 47 percent believe Congressional Democrats will better handle "turning the economy around." Only 33 percent respond Congressional Republicans.
- 48 percent believe Congressional Democrats will better handle "Defending middle class values," compared to only 35 percent for Congressional Republicans.
- 49 percent believe Congressional Democrats will better handle "promoting energy independence." Only 33 percent respond Congressional Republicans. 41 percent of independents responded Congressional Democrats compared to 27 percent for Republicans.
- More respondents believe Congressional Democrats will better handle "being honest and trustworthy" (38 percent compared to 27 percent for Republicans).
- 53 percent of respondents agree ("strongly" or "somewhat") that "Republicans in Congress are blocking change and still supporting Bush policies."
- 60 percent of respondents (54 percent of independents), agree ("strongly" or "somewhat") that "I am optimistic about where I will be financially 5 years from now."
Boston Globe (Massachusetts) - Effects of stimulus plan kick in
Massachusetts is due to receive $8.7 billion in federal stimulus money over the next two years.
Assembly on the Square received $65 million in all, including $50 million in state transportation funding for road and traffic improvements for the development estimated to create 8,000 construction jobs over the next four years, according to a project outline.
In Everett, stimulus money has been used to save the jobs of dozens of teachers and school counselors. The school district sent out 193 layoff notices in June, but ended up laying off just 24 people, Superintendent Frederick Forestiere said.
"The money is a big help,'' Forestiere said. "We'll be able to maintain status quo. Without it, things would be devastating.'' [Read More]

Globe and Mail (Toronto) (01.05.13)
Jay MacGillivray, a midwife who specializes in working with HIV-positive women, and Dr. Mark Yudin, an obstetrician, have developed the Positive Pregnancy Programme at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada. The program attends to HIV-positive women's medical needs and supports the patients through the pregnancy, by combining maternal health care with social services, counseling, and companionship. It is now in its seventh year.
In its early years, the program served about three to five women per year, but in 2012, it helped 44 women. According to MacGillivray, none of the mothers who participated has given birth to a child with HIV. MacGillivray explained that her motivation to start the clinic came from her experiences as a midwife, where she saw healthcare professionals treating pregnant women with contempt or fear. She herself had been warned by another nurse not to touch a patient because the woman was HIV positive.
MacGillivray and Yudin view the clinic as an expanded model of care as they work with pregnant women on any type of problem, including immigration status, trouble in a relationship, or difficulties finding housing. The clinic operates one day a week and treats women with HIV as well as those who do not have HIV. Patients see the midwife and doctor during regular checkups as well as a nurse and social worker.
The program is attracting international attention, and the team receives requests to speak at conferences around the world. At present, Trent Newmeyer, a Brock University professor, is evaluating the program through a series of interviews with its clients to determine how well the model might work in other locations.

Have the answers to these questions ready before you call the golf director at your meeting resort. * What are your preferred course(s), date(s), and start time(s)?
* What is the number of players and their general skill levels?
* What is the purpose of the event? Are you rewarding incentive qualifiers? Entertaining your customers?
* What is your group's golfing history? (The golf director would like to know how many players have signed up for your tournament in the past, how much money you typically spend on golf, and the types of courses your golfers have played before.)
* What is your preferred tournament format? (See box for two popular tournament formats.)
* Are you considering incorporating group clinics into your golf schedule?
* How many sets of rental clubs and/or pairs of rental shoes do you need?
* What are your food and beverage needs while at the golf course?
* Do you need an area available for an awards presentation immediately following the golf tournament?
* What events are planned before and after the golf tournament, and where will they take place?
* Do you want to use any of the course's professional tournament services, such as score-keeping or running specialty contests (closest to the pin, for example), during the tournament?

Scramble--Each player hits a tee shot. The best drive is selected and all players hit their second shots from there. This process of choosing the best shot continues until the ball is in the cup.
Use this format when: You have a significant number of beginners, you want to encourage teamwork and camaraderie rather than competition, time is an issue
Best Ball--Each player plays his or her own ball. The two lowest scores on each hole make up the team score for the hole.
Use this format when: You're playing a well-known course where serious golfers would want to play their own balls, but you'd still like a team atmosphere.
Both formats have endless variations. Share your goals with the golf pro, and he or she can help you select the best format.

Rep. Nardello is a strong voice for 89th House District
Nancy M. Spagnolo, Bethany
As Election Day draws closer, it is disconcerting to see how little information some candidates are presenting to voters. Catchy phrases and vague insinuations seem to be the order of the day. This trend has found its way to the race for 89th House District representative.

Managing Meningitis And Hiv
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
Cryptococcal MeningitisThe Bottom Line Cryptococcal meningitis occurs most often in people with CD4 cell counts below 50. Although antifungal drugs can prevent cryptococcal meningitis, they are usually not used because of their high cost and the risk of developing drug-resistant yeast infections. If you get meningitis, early diagnosis might allow treatment with less toxic drugs. Contact your health care provider if you have headaches, a stiff neck, vision problems,...

It was a terrible day. The only thing that didn't suck was the weather (which just keeps getting nicer). I found myself walking home through downtown Toronto carrying the jacket and scarf and hat I had needed in the chilly morning. It was nice to think that soon I wouldn't have anything but my purse and pockets. It put me in the mood for summer dresses…
I almost walked past CTS Vintage, but then I thought, what the hell?
I try not to recommend stores. I think we can all find enough crap to buy without outside encouragement. But I have to say, my last three experiences at CTS (394 Queen St W*) have been delightful.
Nestled into an unexpectedly large space at Queen and Spadina, it's a shop with loads of thrift stock (at thrift prices) and a vintage section. Justus, the guy responsible for picking the vintage gold at their downtown location, has a stylist's eye and sense of humour, and he's not shy with his opinions or recommendations. It's a nice break from the bored disengagement of most boutique staff (even if it does make it harder to leave without buying).
And that is how, in the middle of my lousy, beautiful afternoon, I found myself trying on an uncharacteristically biblical looking white dress (it didn't fit the girl in the next change room over and Justus thought it might be just the thing for me) and falling in love. I took it home for 15 bucks.
It won't save your life, but it might make your day.
- g.
*Check the CTS website for other locations in the GTA. I can't guarantee the staff will be as awesome.

It is true, though there's more to learn about how much additional risk you take on when you use acetaminophen regularly. For years, heart and arthritis specialists thought that acetaminophen was relatively safe for your heart, but recent studies have found that the drug may increase your risk of heart problems. The risk appears to be most significant if you already have high blood pressure or other risk factors for heart disease, but more studies are needed before we can be sure.
Other over-the-counter (OTC) arthritis medications — specifically, the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others) — also are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. More is known about how — and to what degree — these drugs affect your heart, blood vessels and blood pressure. You need to be especially careful about using these drugs if you've had a heart attack or are at risk of heart attack, as they increase your risk and interfere with the preventive effects of aspirin.
NSAIDs also increase the risk of bleeding. This is a particular concern for people who have heart disease and are already taking aspirin and other medications that increase bleeding risk, such as clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin). In addition, because NSAIDs cause fluid retention, people with heart failure should avoid them.
Keep in mind that medication isn't the only treatment for arthritis pain. Mild to moderate arthritis pain may be relieved with a combination of self-care measures and lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, exercise, heat or cold therapy, and physical therapy. Many doctors recommend trying this combined approach before starting medication.
If you need medication to help manage your arthritis pain, use the lowest dose necessary for the shortest time possible. Also, discuss with your doctor which pain medication is most appropriate for your specific situation. All medications — prescription and nonprescription — have risks and potential side effects.
When taking OTC pain relievers for arthritis, keep these tips in mind:

About Anonymoose Custard
I'd have a lot less to complain about if they paid me to keep my Comcast cable connection.
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that this "Mark Lutz" character is complete fiction. Has he ever appeared at any hearing?
This only reinforces to me that the NSA is being run by a bunch of paranoid, treasonous terorrists, and they should be treated exactly according to how they have mistreated the Public:
Arrest under charges of treason.
No. Such a prize would be tantamount to a bribe, and it would be a crime for any Judge to accept it.
An attempt to give him this kind of recognition would force him from the bench, and he'd likely be disbarred as well.
Clapper and Alexander are clearly guilty of High Treason and should be brought up on charges for their activities at the NSA.
It's always been pretty clear to me that the UK doesn't have a Free Press when I found out that it's illegal to use public video from the House of Commons for the purposes of satire.
Without satire and free expression, no press can be truly Free.
Perhaps if the NSA weren't treasonous dogs, they'd have more Americans on their side.
If the analysts they hire are really so lacking in integrity that a few weeks without pay will make them turncoat traitors, why were they hired in the first place? Why didn't their high-security background check flag them as potential turncoats?
Oh, right, this is the NSA we're talking about. They're traitors to begin with.
I'm illiterate. Ignore me.
GetPRSM.com isn't even trying to be subtle: Among the meta keywords are "Utah Datacenter" and "Parody." If you try to sign up, it pops up a dialog that says there are "technical problems" and links you to "technical support" over at the EFF website.
It even says "Made with love at Fort Meade" at the bottom and uses one of the famous pictures of the Utah datacenter.
Clearly, the FDA is at fault for a lot of this, and the Patent Office is clearly at fault for allowing the patent to be extended in this way.
What needs to happen, in my mind, is that the structure of the approval process needs to be inverted a little: When a pharma comes to the FDA with a new drug, making claims that it improves over another drug, then the FDA should have the resources from its own budget to perform the study and evaluation for efficacy, safety, etc., and then if the drug doesn't meet expectations, then the pharma should pay a fine for wasting the FDA's time, in addition to getting the approval denied.
In this way, the impetus is less on producing more drugs to extend patents and massive earnings and more on making more efficacious and safer drugs.
Getting rid of the shareholders' opinions in this matter would also be of great benefit.
Well, not always.
There was a time before middlemen. In those days, in the age of monarchies, IPR benefited the monarchies, by giving the monarchy or aristocracy authority over who was permitted to be published, by their whims.
So really, it'a always been about the control over culture.
That this must even be explained is what is alarming.
It is not so alarming that the NSA is spying so broadly, nor that they have been authorized to do it. It is alarming that its unconstitutionality must be explained.
Someone on reddit pointed out that Amy likely has Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and is not necessarily bipolar.
ODD is characterized by four or more of the following behaviors for a period of at least 6 months:
(1) often loses temper
(2) often argues with adults
(3) often actively defies or refuses to comply with adults' requests or rules
(4) often deliberately annoys people
(5) often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior
(6) is often touchy or easily annoyed by others (7) is often angry and resentful
(8) is often spiteful or vindictive
She's eight for eight.
It took me the whole afternoon to watch it. I couldn't handle how awful that woman is.
Regardless of what you think about the show, this episode is a stark departure from the usual fare.
Right from the start, Gordon praises them for their spotless kitchen and well-organized fridge.
He then samples some of the menu only to discover that it's improperly prepared, that the recipes are confused, that the wait staff is regularly mistreated, and that everything goes into the trash, untouched by customers who wait literally hours for the food they ordered.
The problem in this kitchen is the people, and he gave up on them.
It's not enough. We need to actually challenge the validity of those patents even after they're granted; because all too often, they're still granted without enough review.
We ought to set up some kind of public fund that goes into researching prior art and filing challenges with the patent office to have the patents overturned as they are approved.
If we can get upwards of 70% of patents thrown out or rewritten within the first year, surely it will affect the change the patent office so desperately needs in the short term, so we can work toward reform (and perhaps abolition) in the long term.
Any person who would spread fear - terror - is engaging in terrorism.
People who detonate explosives in public places to destroy and cause death and chaos do it not to kill people, but to instill fear. Terror.
People who tell us who we should fear, instill fear in those who listen to them. Terror.
Terrorism is fear-mongering, whatever its form.
.... Which is terrorism.
