Hip roof extension
I have a 20x20 workshop that I want to add a covered area out front to work under - hip roof exentension off the front. The roof is 6/12 pitch and gable style. I built the shop myself but don't know anything about framing for hip. So, how much would you estimate it would cost to have someone frame it or how hard would it be to get some direction on doing it myself.
thanks |

Hip roof extension
Trying to give info on hand framing would be tough over the net, and even if explained in depth it would still be different per say once you start framing your project since there will be some variables to deal with like any project of this magnatude. There is plenty of reading on the net if you do some research, but like I said you can read all you want but actually doing it is a totally different beast. We run into a few hips a yr and to be honest it takes me a few minutes to get back into the mind set of what I'm doing lol since they're easy to screw up.
One option that may be of great help is to just order hip trusses for your project, then it's literally as simple as setting standard trusses since they come pre-made to fit and even tieing into the existing roof is a breeze since it's just a matter of setting the smaller triangle trusses in place. As far as hiring, it's hard for anybody to say since pricing will be region specific and crew specific. You could ask 2 guys in the same area and get 2 different prices since overhead and profit margins will be different for both entites. Easiest way is just to talk with some freinds and get a few names of contractors they've had luck with and calol for estimates. Then you can price out hip trusses yourself and weigh all the options to make the big descion.

Brannan Island SRA
State Recreation Area
Brannan Island will be managed by American Land and Leisure starting August 1, 2012. Until then the park will maintain its current service reduction status, but will be available for camping reservations through Reserve America during the month of July. Please visit Reserve America�s website www.reserveamerica.com, or California State Park's website at www.parks.ca.gov; for reservation information.
If you would like more information about American Land and Leisure please visit their website at www.americanLL.com
Effective June 1, 2012:
Brannan Island does not have firewood available for campers. Please bring your own wood, and make sure it is not processed or treated. Wood is available in the town of Rio Vista. Gathering of firewood is prohibited in State Parks and is a citable offense. Thank you for your understanding.
Brannan Island State Recreation Area is now open 7 days a week for camping and day use.
EXCEPTION: Windy Cove, Rally Site, and Group Camp will be closed until further notice.
Brannan Island State Recreation Area is a maze of waterways through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This park northeast of San Francisco Bay, has countless islands and marshes with many wildlife habitats and many opportunities for recreation, including boating, windsurfing and swimming.
One of the outstanding water-oriented recreation areas in the world, the area offers great fishing, including striped bass, sturgeon, catfish, bluegill, perch and bullhead. Frank's Tract, a protected wetland marsh, is home to beaver, muskrat, river otter, mink and 76 species of birds.
Location - Directions
The park is on Highway 160 a few miles south of the city of Rio Vista in Sacramento County. The park is located on the lower peninsular extension of Brannan Island, and is surrounded by the Sacramento River on the west, Three Mile Slough on the southeast, and Seven Mile Slough on the northeast.
The park has a ten lane launch ramp, over 140 campsites and areas for picnicking and swimming.
Day Use Areas
Day use areas include the Windy Cove windsurfing access, the group picnic area located at the Ramadas, and Seven Mile Slough picnic area. The group picnic facility and Seven Mile Slough day use area close at sunset. Windy Cove closes at the hour posted at the entrance road to Windy Cove.
Seven Mile Slough picnic area includes picnic tables, barbecues and drinking water. New restroom facilities were completed late in 1997 and include flush toilets and outdoor cold showers. NO LIFEGUARDS ON DUTY for the 2011 season. A Life Jacket Lending Board will be available. Ample parking is close to the beach.
The Ramadas have shaded picnic structures with large barbecues, picnic tables, water and trash receptacles. A large open grassy area is adjacent to the site for games. The closest restroom to the Ramadas is located north of the swim beach along Seven Mile Slough.
In all of these day use areas possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
At Seven Mile Slough and Windy Cove, beaches are off limits to dogs. Dogs are allowed in the picnic area north of the restrooms, along Seven Mile Slough. Dogs must be on leash and in the owners control at all times.
When to Visit
The park is a high use recreation area which receives heavy use from May through October. The late fall, winter and early spring months are much slower paced at the park and offer some of the best fishing opportunities of the year.
Seasons/Climate Recommended Clothing
The climate in the Delta is mild, with winter temperatures usually ranging between 45 and 55 degrees and summer temperatures between 75 and 95. An occasional heat wave will push the temperatures in summer to 100 degrees or more but the Delta breeze is never far away.
Wi-Fi Service
WI-FI is no longer available at Brannan Island. It has been discontinued.

The Cubs took it to the Cardinals again, and Zambrano looked great again. Tyler Colvin hit his 20th homer of the year, and it was a swell game all around. What else is there to say, but…
2 responses to "Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 7, Cards 3 – September 15, 2010"
It's nice for Koyie Hill that he got a couple of hits, but why was he even playing? If you are going to give Soto the day off, why isn't Wellington Castillo out there? Hill won't be on the Cubs next year, we aren't sure about Castillo yet. It seems like common sense to me that with 16 games to go in a lost season that you would get the guys that might play for you next year some playing time to see what you have. Playing aging vets who wont be back (Nady too) screams desperation and self preservation from our mangaer. Quade is the perfect manager for JIm Hendry, do what you have to do to keep your job and make yourself look good, regardless of what is good for the future of the team.
Jeff nailed it. We should create a bumpersticker: "Everything Is Backwards With Hendry."

With the San Francisco Giants smack dab in the middle of an elongated home stand, the Miami Marlins come to town struggling, but with some impressive history at AT&T Park as of late.
Matt Cain (1-1, 2.37) returns to the mound Tuesday against Miami's Ricky Nolasco (2-0, 3.20), both of whom are having excellent starts to the season. Cain is coming off 6.1 innings against the Reds with three earned runs, continuing to be lights out as of late. The big right-hander has given up three hits total in his last two starts, nine scoreless innings combined, along with 15 strikeouts and just a single walk.
As for Nolasco, the Giants will certainly have their work cut out for them, He is 3-0 with a 0.76 ERA in three career starts at AT&T Park, and is 4-2 with a 1.61 ERA in six starts against San Francisco, coming off of seven innings of one run ball against the Mets his last time out.
First pitch is set for 7:15 p.m. PT with coverage on CBN Bay Area and KNBR 680 AM.
Wednesday will be former Cub Carlos Zambrano (0-2, 3.24) taking on the resurgent lefty Barry Zito (1-0, 1.67). Zambrano was hoping a change of scenery would yield more success but it hasn't happened yet, though he's pitched better than his record indicated after getting zero runs of support in his last two starts, both of them loses.
Zito is simply looking to keep the wheels moving after his solid start, pitching six innings of one run ball his last time out in Cincinnati. This will be only the second start of the season at AT&T Park for Barry. First pitch is set for 7:15 p.m. PT with coverage on CBN Bay Area and KNBR 680 AM.
Thursday's finale will include another great pitching matchup as Miami's Anibal Sanchez (1-0, 2.79) takes on Ryan Vogelsong (0-1, 4.19). Vogey was roughed up a bit in Cincy is his last time out, giving up four runs in six innings of work, but looks to get back on track at home. Sanchez's lone win game in his first start of the year, getting no decision in his last three starts including seven innings pitched of two-run ball against Arizona his last time out.
First pitch is set for 12:45 p.m. PT with coverage on CSN Bay Area and KNBR 680 AM as well.
The Marlins won four of the six meetings against San Francisco in 2011, including a three-game sweep at AT&T May 24-26. Since July of 2009, Miami is 6-2 at AT&T Park. Hopefully the tides will sway in favor of the Black and Orange this series.

Carleton offers a comprehensive liberal arts education. Because it is based on a trimester schedule, students only take three courses per ten-week term. This allows them to focus more on the classes in which they are enrolled without becoming overwhelmed. And at the end of their four-years, they will have actually taken four classes more than most students at most other universities. Additionally, because Carleton is a small school that only offers an undergraduate education, all classes are taught by professors (rather than graduate students) and are small in size.

Smaller Government = MORE Money for YOU
Bill Barker for AZ House
I have been a resident of Arizona and Maricopa County since 1993. I have lived in the west valley for the majority of that time, except for a 3 year period in North Phoenix. Prior to coming to Arizona I served 9 years in the Navy as an air-crewman and electronics instructor. After my discharge from the Navy I worked as a Field Engineer for a major corporation providing technical assistance to the U. S. Navy for 14 years. Since coming to Arizona I was employed as a computer technician for a local computer manufacturer primarily responsible for quality assurance in the production department. Since retiring 2 years ago I have become active in the Maricopa County Libertarian Party and The Arizona Libertarian Party. I have been a member of the Libertarian Party since 2000.
I started developing an interest in local government after attending the Glendale Home Owners Association Academy. I followed that by attending Glendale University 101 as well a several graduate courses. I also completed the Glendale Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) course. I served a 2 years term on the Glendale Board of Adjustment from 2007 - 2009.
I am fiscally conservative and favor small government. The fewer laws the better. A local congressman made a comment recently during an interview that because of the number of laws currently on the books at all levels of government it is virtually impossible for any citizen to be fully in compliance with all statutes.

Taxes take a big bite out of investment earnings. An important goal of successful investing therefore is maximizing after-tax returns. This involves both assembling the correct mix of assets and placing them in the right types of accounts. Since different investments and different types of accounts are taxed at different rates, how investors allocate assets between taxable and tax-advantaged accounts can greatly affect the growth of their portfolio.
The guiding principle of "keeping more of what you earn" by minimizing unnecessary taxes becomes more complicated for those retirees who depend upon portfolio withdrawals to support living expenses. They face the dual challenges of investing and withdrawing their assets tax-efficiently.
Most retirees have accounts that are taxable, tax-deferred (traditional retirement), and tax-free (Roth retirement). If these accounts were taxed the same, an investor should be indifferent to the order in which they would be drawn down, because any order would produce the same results. However, because these accounts are subject to different tax rates and rules, a sensible withdrawal sequence can help reduce taxes and lengthen the portfolio's life.
The guideline most often recommended is: First, withdraw from accounts where required minimum distributions (RMDs) are mandated. Second, spend cash flows (interest, dividends, and capital gains) from taxable accounts. Third, tap tax-deferred accounts. Finally, withdraw from tax-free (Roth) accounts. The rationale behind this approach is to allow tax-advantaged accounts to grow for as long as possible. Simulations conducted by academic and financial institutions generally support the notion that "all things being equal", this spending order will usually produce a lower current tax bill, allow for more tax-deferred growth, and enable investors to achieve greater portfolio longevity.
However, in life, all things are rarely equal and retirees should avoid using this "one size fits all" approach before examining their specific situation. Each investor has unique personal and financial circumstances including: the type, size and cost basis of each investment account, estate planning goals, and current versus future tax rate expectations. All of these have important tax implications and therefore impact the preferred account withdrawal sequence.
Let's consider when an alternative approach may be warranted.
— Capitalize on a temporary drop in income tax bracket. This often occurs during early retirement before required minimum distributions begin. This can provide an opportunity for the retiree to withdraw sufficient funds from tax-deferred accounts to fill up the lowest tax brackets, which under normal circumstances would be unavailable to the investor.
— Reduce the future tax impact of a large IRA or employer retirement plan. Those fortunate enough to have accumulated large tax-deferred balances may find these accounts lose some of their luster when they begin taking withdrawals under IRS distribution rules. They are fully taxable at ordinary income tax rates.
— Avoid paying capital gains taxes in taxable accounts. Investors who have amassed sizeable taxable accounts with low cost basis (large built-in gains) and do not need to tap them may choose to hold them and pass them on to beneficiaries. Doing so allows beneficiaries to receive them in a tax-efficient manner under current estate tax laws.
— Exploit differences between current and future tax rates. Accurately predicting future tax rates is a long shot at best. However, if an investor expects that her (or her heir's) tax rate will be higher in future years than it is now, spending from tax-deferred accounts before tax-free Roth accounts may make more sense.
For most retirees generating a sustainable income while preserving the portfolio for themselves and their heirs is one of their highest financial priorities. Achieving this goal is challenging enough and is further complicated when the impact of taxes is introduced. However, employing a flexible, "tax-smart" strategy for drawing down the portfolio can go a long way toward helping retirees reach that important goal.

Waldorf's new era starts at Disney
Owners plan to make the legendary hotel a worldwide brand.
Christopher Boyd | Sentinel Staff Writer
Posted April 13, 2007
The Waldorf-Astoria, which for more than a century has symbolized wealth and power, is about to undergo a major makeover -- Florida-style.
Hilton Hotels, owner of the Waldorf since 1949, plans to turn the hotel into a brand that can be spread around the planet, starting with a project now rising amid the slash pines just outside Walt Disney World.

Do You Have a Secret Decoder Ring?
You're probably familiar with barcodes. They've been around in one form or another since 1948 - found on everything from books to breakfast cereal boxes. The UPC (Universal Product Code) to the left, when read by a scanner translates to "987654321098", which can then be used to identify or track a product. While UPC codes can be found just about everywhere and are used for anything, one place they haven't been used is in the classroom.
You might have also seen these new barcodes, called QR or Quick Response codes. They're the most popular barcode in Japan and are gaining popularity all over the world! The main reason is that rather than translating to simple a tracking number, QR codes contain much richer information, like web addresses and more. That's one reason you'll see them more and more here in the US on packaging materials, in magazine articles and on marketing information...and even in the classroom!
Check out these examples and let me know if you want some assistance in using QR codes in your classroom.

Hi there. I'm writing to you from the UK and am due to go skiiing in Italy on March 10th. I've had a look at your site and would like to buy some clothing and accessories. Please can you answer the following questions:-
(i) Can I definitely buy merchandise from your site online from the UK?
(ii) How long does it take to deliver goods once I have processed a transaction.
(iii) How do I know if you've got the items that I need in stock?
(iv) Other than delivery charges, are there any other costs that need to be added to the prices that I see on-line?
Thanks for your time in responding to these queries. Have yourself a nice day. Cheers. Nick D UK

(i) Yes, you can buy merchandise from SierraSnowboard and have it shipped to the United Kingdom. (ii) I can't exactly attribute along the package will take because of delays but possibly a week or two. You will need to verify as I'm not sure. (iii) Items that are in stock are the sizes in black text. Items out of stock are the sizes that are greyed out. (iv) Tariffs and taxes are not included and may be applied. |

Members of the Stitchers Quilt Guild attended the annual mystery quilt workshop in January. Members are told ahead of time how much fabric to bring for the project and pre-cutting directions. Once the workshop starts everyone gets the first clue to work on, once that part of the quilt is done the next clue is passed out. This is done until the entire quilt top is complete. Patty Pruitt reveals the mystery quilt.

I am against the proposed deal between the not-so-Public Interest Projects developers and the city of Asheville. The city could more wisely use the revenue generated from our just-paid-off parking decks and other parking facilities by providing sidewalks for neighborhoods and improving public transportation.
Safe sidewalks for residents of Asheville should be a priority. Historically, it seems that beyond the boundaries of downtown, and in even some places in town, safe sidewalks for residents are of little concern to decision makers. I have personally walked in areas throughout the city where I've been at real risk of being hit by a car due to the nonexistence or obstruction of sidewalks, including my own neighborhood. Yes, life has risks, but walking your pet, a stroll through your neighborhood or young children riding bikes should not be among them.
Do we need more parking? I always manage to find a parking space in town; on occasion I may have to walk a little to reach my destination. Most of the time, except in the case of big special events in town, the parking decks I've parked in have plenty of slots open.
Can someone give the logic of the city paying for a parking deck for a hotel that should be paying for its own? After all, their guests will need the parking and will benefit the most.
Suggestion: Instead of encouraging more in-town driving (along with the attendant pollution), City Council should look into the possibility of park-and-shuttle sites in outlying, less congested areas where visitors and residents alike can leave their cars and hop on the improved public transit.

2013 America's Health Rankings Finds Significant Progress in National Health
The new 2013 America's Health Rankings from the United Health Foundation finds that while there is still much progress to be made, over the past year Americans improved in the majority of the measures that the Rankings use to rate public health. The improved areas include smoking rates, which fell to 19.6 percent of the adult population, from 21.2 percent the previous year, as well as physical inactivity, which fell to 22.9 percent from 26.2 percent. Also, for the first time since 1998 the obesity rate did not rise. With low rates of uninsured people, high rates of childhood immunization and low rates of health issues such as obesity and smoking, Hawaii ranked as the healthiest state in the country.

FDA to Phase Out Use of Certain Antimicrobials in Food Animals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is moving forward with a plan to combat the spread of antibacterial resistance by prohibiting the use of medically important antimicrobials in food animals for food production purposes, while also adding veterinary oversight to therapeutic use of the drugs in animals. Antimicrobials can be used in the food and drinking water of cattle, poultry and other food animals to encourage weight gain. However, these same antimicrobials are used to treat infections in humans, and their availability in the food supply increases the possibility of the development of antimicrobial resistance. The FDA is giving companies three months to sign on to the strategy, then three years to transition. "This action promotes the judicious use of important antimicrobials to protect public health while ensuring that sick and at-risk animals receive the therapy they need," said Bernadette Dunham, DVM, PhD, director of the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. "We realize that these steps represent changes for veterinarians and animal producers, and we have been working—and will continue to work—to make this transition as seamless as possible."

HHS: 365,000 Enrolled Under Affordable Care Act in October, November
The official numbers are in, with almost 365,000 people selecting plans in the Health Insurance Marketplace in October and November, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. About 1.9 million people have gone through the online process, but have just not yet selected a plan, while more than 800,000 were determined eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The site went live at the beginning of October, but extensive bugs and glitches meant only about 27,000 people were able to sign up in that first month. Last week a reconfigured HealthCare.gov was launched after about five weeks of work spent addressing the problems, and 29,000 people were able to sign up during the first two days alone. Thirty-six states use HealthCare.gov, with fourteen states and Washington, D.C. maintaining their own sites. Read more on the Affordable Care Act.

Chicago Announces Trio of Anti-tobacco Initiatives to Curb Youth Smoking
The city of Chicago and Mayor Rahm Emanuel this morning announced a trio of anti-tobacco initiatives designed to reduce youth access to tobacco. The first would regulate e-cigarettes as tobacco products, while the second would restrict the sale of flavored tobacco products near schools and the third would work to educate the public on the dangers of menthol-flavored cigarettes. Further details:
- By defining "tobacco products" as products that are made of tobacco or include tobacco-derived nicotine, the city would be able to regulate e-cigarettes as they do any other tobacco product. This would mean that under the Chicago Clean Indoor Air Act, e-cigarette use would be restricted everywhere where smoking is restricted, including almost all public places and places of employment.
- Flavored tobacco products, including menthol products, could not be sold within 500 feet of schools, and existing stores would not be grandfathered in. This would be the first regulation of menthol-flavored cigarettes anywhere at the federal, state or local levels.
- Understanding that menthol-cigarettes are often—and wrongly—viewed as less unhealthy than other tobacco products, as well as that fact that the flavoring makes them more appealing to kids, the city is launching a public service advertising campaign on the realities of the products.
"E-cigarettes, as well as flavored products, are gateway tobacco products targeted at our kids," said Emanuel. "The tobacco industry has spent years developing products that are aimed at hooking our youth on nicotine and getting them smoking for their entire life." Read more on tobacco.
FDA to Investigate Reports on Weight-related Problems with the Morning-After-Pill
Following yesterday's report that the European equivalent of the Plan B One-Step "morning after pill," Norlevo, is less effective for women who weigh 165 pounds or more and ineffective for women who weigh 176 pounds or more, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced it will perform its own investigation into the product. The agency is "currently reviewing the available and related scientific information on this issue, including the publication upon which the Norlevo labeling change was based," said FDA spokeswoman Erica Jefferson said in a Monday statement. "The agency will then determine what, if any, labeling changes to approved emergency contraceptives are warranted." By law, the morning-after pill is available to all U.S. women of child-bearing age, over the county and with no point-of-sale restrictions. Read more on sexual health.
Concerns Over Cost, Sexual Activity Keep Many Parents From Having Kids Vaccinated Against HPV
Costs and parental concern over their kids' sexual activity may be the reason that so view children—both girls and boys—are not being vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV), according to a new review of 55 studies appearing in JAMA Pediatrics. HPV vaccines protect against the strains of genital warts that cause approximately 70 percent of cervical cancers, and they are recommended for girls aged 11 to 12. Boys are recommended to receive the vaccine as young as age 11, as it protects not just against genital warts, but also oral, penis and rectal cancers. However, the review found that many parents put off the vaccination either because they believe their child is not sexually active—so doesn't "need" the vaccine—or because they fear it will encourage them to become sexually active. Researchers determined that a physician's recommendation was one of the strongest motivators toward deciding to accept the vaccination, although this did not happen nearly enough. The researchers recommended improving these statistics by educating doctors and parents on the importance of the vaccine. Read more on cancer.
Regulating Tobacco: Q&A with FDA's Mitch Zeller
Tobacco featured prominently as a public health issue at the American Public Health Association (APHA) meeting this week, including a regulatory update from Mitch Zeller, JD, who became director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products earlier this year. Zeller previously worked on tobacco issues in government as associate commissioner and director of FDA's first Office of Tobacco Programs, and also as a U.S. delegate to the World Health Organization (WHO) Working Group for the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
NewPublicHealth spoke with Zeller ahead of the APHA meeting.
Mitch Zeller: I think most broadly my goals are to help give the center and the agency the greatest chance of fulfilling the public health mission behind the law passed in 2009 giving the Food and Drug Administration authority over tobacco. This really is an important piece of legislation. It's really stunning that in 2013—with everything that we know about the harms associated with tobacco use—that it remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease both in this country and globally.
There are some very powerful tools that Congress has given FDA to use wisely and supported by evidence. That's where I think, the greatest opportunity lies: to use the tools relying on regulatory science to try to protect consumers and reduce the death and disease toll from tobacco.
There are two areas where I think these tools can make a profound positive impact on public health. The first is something called product standards, which is basically the power to ban, restrict or limit the allowable levels of ingredients in tobacco or tobacco smoke. We are exploring potential product standards in three areas: toxicity, addiction and appeal. And we are funding research in all three areas and working very hard behind the scenes to find out what our options are for potential product standards in those three areas.
FDA Weighs in On Mobile Medical Apps
After years of deliberation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued final guidance on the regulation of smartphone medical devices. In a nutshell, generally speaking any device used in diagnosis or treatment can't be marketed until it's approved by the FDA; other apps—such as calorie counters, or pedometers built into a phone—don't need the FDA's nod. The FDA's criteria is how much risk an app poses for a consumer. The agency says it "intends to focus its regulatory oversight on a subset of mobile medical apps that present a greater risk to patients if they do not work as intended."
Specifically, the FDA will focus its oversight on mobile medical apps that:
- Are intended to be used as an accessory to a regulated medical device—for example, an application that allows a health care professional to make a specific diagnosis by viewing a medical image from a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) on a smartphone or a mobile tablet.
- Transform a mobile platform into a regulated medical device—for example, an application that turns a smartphone into an electrocardiography (ECG) machine to detect abnormal heart rhythms or determine whether a patient is experiencing a heart attack.
"We have worked hard to strike the right balance, reviewing only the mobile apps that has the potential to harm consumers if they do not function properly," said Jeffrey Shuren, M.D., J.D., director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. "Our mobile medical app policy provides app developers with the clarity needed to support the continued development of these important products."
While the final guidelines were only just released, FDA has cleared 100 mobile medical apps for marketing in the last few years, and 40 of those were just in the last two years.
Synim Rivers, an FDA spokesman, answered questions for NewPublicHealth about the final guidance on mobile medical apps.

Ahead of the annual pilgrimage of Muslims to Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia this October, the Saudi health ministry is limiting the number of foreign and local pilgrims in order to lower the risk of the spread of H7N9, a new form of avian flu identified several months ago in China, and MERS, or Middle East respiratory syndrome corona virus (MERS/MERS-CoV), a potentially fatal virus that emerged last year. The largest numbers of cases of the virus—and deaths—have been in Saudi Arabia. According to a recent post on the Network for Public Health Law's (NPHL) blog by Daniel G. Orenstein, JD, deputy director of NPHL's Western Region, so far neither the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention nor the World Health Organization have issued travel restrictions about the Hajj.
However, the post does note that the emergence of the two viruses has prompted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take action under its legal authority to increase U.S. readiness to treat potential outbreaks of H7N9 and MERS. Under the Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 (PAHPRA), the FDA recently issued Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for diagnostic tests for both viruses. EUAs enable the FDA to temporarily allow use of unapproved medical products such as antibiotics, vaccines and diagnostic tests needed during emergencies.
Orenstein says that "issuing the EUAs illustrates the flexibility and adaptability of FDA authority as clarified under PAHPRA. As epidemiologic research develops further on these viruses, FDA will be able to respond quickly, hopefully mitigating the impact on population health."

Recommended Reading: A Closer Look at E-Cigarettes
"Are they harm reduction or are they smoking cessation? It's a tough situation because, on the one hand, you have what it does and on the other you have the claims are that are allowable under the law. It's a strange situation where they are being regulated as tobacco products. But they are not tobacco products. There's no tobacco in them."
Many hard facts about e-cigarettes are still unclear. What is clear is that marketers are pushing hard to make the switch from smoking to "vaping" an ongoing trend. In the above quote from a TechCrunch article, Michael Siegel, MD, Professor at Boston University's Public School of Health, mulled over some very real concerns about where we're heading in terms of e-cigarette regulation.
The current debate between the manufactures and public health experts surrounds the health impacts of the nicotine product. The e-cigarette "boom" began around 2007, starting first with smaller companies. After making a dent in cigarette sales—unlike cessation therapies such as the patch and gums—tobacco companies took notice and are starting to jump onboard.
Today e-cigarettes are especially rising in popularity among what some may consider the "hip" crowd. From a recent article in The New York Times:

Conflicts of Interest in Determination of Food Additive Safety
Who determines whether a food additive is safe? Often it's people with ties to the food additive industry, according to a new conflict-of-interest study from The Pew Charitable Trusts in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. From 1997 to 2012, about 20 percent of safety determinations submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration were authored by employees of food additive manufacturers, and 13 percent were authored by someone working a consultant selected by the manufacturer. Researchers also found that the expert panels tasked with conducting most of the safety assessments rely on many of the same experts over and over again. "There's a cadre of 10 people that serve on almost all of these expert panels," said study author Thomas Neltner, director of Pew's food additives project. "Three-quarters of the panels contained at least one of these people. One person served on 44 percent of the panels, which tells us there's not only conflicts of interest, but there's a very small group of people making these decisions." Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, sees these results as a clear problem that needs to be addressed. "These committees give a very superficial, one-sided review," he said. "They want to please the sponsor, and then maybe they will get more business because they've proven themselves trustworthy, but it's no way to run a food safety review process."

CDC: 1 in 8 Preschoolers Obese, Raising their Risk for Adult Obesity
About one in eight—or 12 percent—of preschoolers are obese. However, after decades spent watching that number climb, nineteen states and territories are seeing drops in obesity among low-income preschoolers, according to the latest Vital Signs report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Overweight and obese children are five times more likely to grow up to be obese adults, so early intervention by state and local health officials is critical. The report provides a number of ways they can help, including the creation of partnerships with community members to make community changes that promote healthy eating and active living, as well as making it easier for families with children to buy healthy, affordable foods and beverages in their neighborhoods. Read more on obesity.
Hospitals' Exchange of Electronic Health Records Climbed 41 Percent from 2008 to 2012
Health information exchange (HIE) between hospitals and providers outside their organizations climbed 41 percent from 2008 to 2012, with six in 10 hospitals exchanging electronic health records (EHR) in 2012, according to a new study in the journal Health Affairs. The researchers say this illustrates how EHRs have become complementary tools that improve health care quality and safety. "We know that the exchange of health information is integral to the ongoing efforts to transform the nation's health care system and we will continue to see that grow as more hospitals and other providers adopt and use health IT to improve patient health and care," said Farzad Mostashari, MD, the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. "Our new research is crystal clear: health information exchange is happening and it is growing. But we still have a long road ahead toward universal interoperability." Read more on technology.

Self-monitoring Tied to Improved Blood Pressure
Self-monitoring of blood pressure is tied to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension, according to a new study in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The study found the strategy was most successful when combined with providing extra resources to patients, such as online materials. Hayden Bosworth, of the Duke University Medical Center and the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center in North Carolina, said self-monitoring can provide more accurate results because the patients are not feeling the stress that they would in the doctor's office. It also provides more in terms of actual data, which helps physicians to better determine treatments, and helps patients take a constant ownership of their health. "If you eat five ham biscuits for breakfast … you can see the implications of that through your blood pressure in monitoring that relatively quickly, as well as if you exercise," said Bosworth to Reuters. "It's no different than tracking your own weight. You need to know, on a daily basis, how you're doing, what sets it off and are you going too high or too low." Read more on heart health.
New Association Represents Accredited Public Health Schools and Programs
The new Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH), which represents schools and programs of public health accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), officially launched on August 1. "This is a seminal moment in CEPH-accredited public health education," says Dr. Harrison Spencer, president and CEO of ASPPH. "Representing both accredited schools and programs of public health gives the association and our members an opportunity to strengthen public health education, research, teaching, and practice." The U.S. Department of Education has recognized CEPH as the accrediting body for public health schools and programs, which helps ensure the quality education and training necessary to prepare graduates for the future of public health work.

Flu Vaccine for All Four Seasonal Strains Approved for Shipment
The first vaccine to protect against all four strains of seasonal influenza has been approved for shipment for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. GlaxoSmithKline's Fluarix Quadrivalent vaccine was approved late last year for use in adults and children aged 3 and older, but regulations require flu vaccines to be approved before they are shipped to health care providers each season. The company estimates it will ship approximately 22 to 24 million doses globally, with 10 million doses in the United States. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has ordered more than 4 million doses. Read more on influenza.

Nine-state Study Shows Statewide Smoking Bans Would Not Hurt Restaurant, Bar Business
Despite the concerns of many proprietors, statewide smoke-free laws would not hurt business at restaurants and bars, according to a new study in the journal Preventing Chronic Disease. Bans on workplace and public area smoking reduce exposure to secondhand smoke, encourage smokers to quit, improve the health employees and reduce the risk for heart attack hospitalizations. The findings of the CDC Foundation study—the largest such analysis, with nine states—line up with previous research. The participating states were chosen because they do not have statewide smoking bans, but do have a good deal of local laws. "Smoke-free laws make good business sense—they improve health, save lives, increase productivity, and reduce health care costs," said U.S. Centers for Disease and Control Prevention Director Tom Frieden, MD, MPH. Communities throughout the United States have made great strides in protecting workers and the public from secondhand smoke in the past decade, but too many Americans continue to be exposed to secondhand smoke on the job and in public places."

FDA Sets New Standards for 'Gluten-free' Food Labeling
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set a new standard to define "gluten-free" for voluntary food labeling. People with the autoimmune digestive condition of celiac disease—about 3 million Americans—can manage the condition by eating a diet free of gluten, which is found in naturally in wheat, rye, barley and cross-bred hybrids of these grains. Under the new rules, "gluten-free" labeling is restricted to products that meet all of the FDA requirements, including that the food contains less than 20 parts per million of gluten. The standards also apply to products that claim "no gluten," "free of gluten" and "without gluten." FDA is giving food manufacturers one year to come in line with the new standard. "Adherence to a gluten-free diet is the key to treating celiac disease, which can be very disruptive to everyday life," said FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, MD. "The FDA's new 'gluten-free' definition will help people with this condition make food choices with confidence and allow them to better manage their health." Read more on food safety.
CDC: Murders from Guns Down, But Suicide Rate is Up
The latest Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has both good and bad news on gun violence—and both stress the need for further measures to reduce gun violence, especially early prevention. According to the CDC, gun-murder rate is down, but the suicide rate is up. The murder rate dropped around 15 percent from 2006-07 to 2009-10 in the majority of the fifty largest U.S. cities, but the suicide rate climbed as much as 15 percent in about 75 percent of the cities. In 2009-10 there were approximately 22,500 murders and 38,000 suicides involving a gun. "If there is any question that gun control is a big problem, here's a good example of why," said Victor Fornari, MD, chief of child and adolescent psychiatry at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, N.Y. "Access to firearms is a serious public health problem. Limiting access to firearms would reduce homicide as well as suicide. As long as guns are available there are going to be these violent outcomes." Read more on violence.

CDC Issues First Comprehensive Report on Children's Mental Health in the United States
As many as one in five American children under the age of 17 has a diagnosable mental disorder according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report is the first expansive report on children's mental health ever done by the U.S. government and looked at six conditions:
- attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- behavioral or conduct disorders
- mood and anxiety disorders
- autism spectrum disorders
- substance abuse
- Tourette syndrome
The most common disorder for children age 3 through 17 is ADHD (7 percent) followed by behavioral or conduct problems (3.5 percent), anxiety (3 percent), depression (2 percent), and autism spectrum disorders (1 percent).
Five percent of teens reported abusing or being dependent on illegal drugs, 4 percent abused alcohol and 3 percent reported smoking cigarettes regularly. Boys were more likely than girls to have the disorders. Read more on mental health.
New PSAs Help Parents Talk to Younger Kids about the Dangers of Underage Drinking
"Talk. They Hear You," is a new national public service announcement (PSA) campaign from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to empower parents to talk to children as young as nine about the dangers of underage drinking. SAMHSA research shows that more than a quarter of American youth engage in underage drinking, and though there has been progress in reducing the extent of underage drinking in recent years, particularly among those aged 17 and younger, the rates of underage drinking are still unacceptably high, according to SAMHSA. A report from late last year shows that 26.6 percent of 12-20 year-olds report drinking in the month before they were surveyed and 8.7 percent of them purchased their own alcohol the last time they drank, despite the fact that all fifty states and the District of Columbia currently have laws prohibiting the purchase and use of alcoholic beverages by anyone under age 21.
"Even though drinking is often glamorized, the truth is that underage drinking can lead to poor academic performance, sexual assault, injury, and even death," said said SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde.
The goal of the new PSA is to help parents start a conversation about alcohol before their children become teenagers. Read more on addiction.
Advocacy Groups Petition FDA to Ban Menthol Flavored Cigarettes
In response to a Citizen Petition by close to twenty health and tobacco control advocacy groups, the Food and Drug Administration has opened a docket for public comment on banning menthol in cigarettes. In 2009, according to the Tobacco Control Legal Consortium, the lead group on the petition, Congress banned all flavors in cigarettes except menthol, and directed the FDA to decide whether continued sale of menthol cigarettes is "appropriate for public health." According to the petition, menthol cigarettes are the source of addiction for nearly half of all teen smokers. Read more on tobacco.

text: The hands of time, Put these wrinkles on my face. It erased all the memories, Of my life and this place. Colored my hair, From dark to gray, Took me from my younger years, To where I am today. I dont regret, The hands of time. It has taken me places, For no reason or rhyme. It has showed me things, No one else could teach. It has helped me grab things, Before,I could not reach. The hands of time, Made these wrinkles of pain, Gave it A place, For my tears to drain. Tears of joy, From the life that I bestowed. I would not have changed anything, Not a seed that I sowed.

States Attorney's Office District of Connecticut |
March 15, 2011 |
WALLINGFORD MAN WHO FAILED TO PAY MORE David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, today announced that GARY ABOLAFIA, 64, of Nod Brook Road, Wallingford, was sentenced yesterday, March 14, by Senior United States District Judge Ellen Bree Burns in New Haven to three years of probation, the first six months of which ABOLAFIA must spend in home confinement, for failing to pay more than $80,000 in federal income taxes. On November 10, 2010, ABOLAFIA pleaded guilty to one count of filing a false federal income tax return. According to court documents and statements made in court, when ABOLAFIA filed his 2004 federal income tax return, he claimed his taxable income was $92,060. However, investigation by the Internal Revenue Service determined that ABOLAFIA had actually earned $163,500. ABOLAFIA also underreported his 2003 income, and did not file his 2005 tax return. ABOLAFIA's total tax liability for the 2003, 2004 and 2005 tax years is $82,998. ABOLAFIA has been ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $82,988 to the IRS. This case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Calvin B. Kurimai. | |

There's something spreading through The River: VISION. Since last August 2010, God has been filling our church with passion for the lost and plans of purpose that are far bigger than we can accomplish on our own. It's time that we give up living mediocre lives of partial commitment to the Kingdom and lukewarm faith in Jesus Christ. It's time for us to sell out to the plans of God for our lives, families, and church while trusting God enough to set sail into the uncharted seas of a life of faith.
We welcome you to join us. Let God fill your heart with the desires of His heart. Stretch yourself to let God take the reins of your life and see if He is truly able to give you the life of passion you always wanted. Come catch the vision at The River.
Whatever way you came to know about The River, we're excited to have you in our community and we hope the following will be helpful.

Dolly shows how much she loves her fan she put her heart in the show. and the seat were great we could reach out and touch Dolly.

One of the best performances I've ever seen!

I had never seen Ms. Parton but thought it would be good. The concert, her personality, humor, songwriting and voice were beyond that of any singer/songwriter I have ever seen in concert. Her background singers and the band were completely without error and had all obviously worked hard practicing together in order to give the fans entertainment beyond their money's worth. I was totally blown away and would now consider myself a huge fan. I have never been more sad to hear a concert end. I am a tough critic, but I almost cried when it was over. If only she could live forever. She is truly the legend of several generations.

"Great Basic LCD TV"
on by Lloyd2zPros Show in summary
Cons Show in summary
Summary I hesitate calling this a 'dumb' tv, but that seems to be the option given the moniker Smart TV that is applied to so many higher end products these days.
Maybe the LN46D630 isn't as much dumb as it is ignorant. Which isn't a bad thing. Indeed, that's why I bought it. More on that in a bit.
Before I get to saying what I like about it, let me respond to some of the negative comments I've read. I can't answer for their experiences, but I can share my own. The picture quality is quite good. I don't have any issues with light leaking or other problems. It is a very consistent image that allows for a great variety of adjustments. If you look in the discussion under the 40 inch version of this model, you can find some added pointers about adjustment. I also got the Disney WOW! dvd which helps for much more precise adjustment.
When I did set it up, everything turned on quick and easy. The size means that unless you're big and strong you might want help setting it up, as it is a bit awkward to maneuver to attach the base.
I bought this model because I was wanting a television that allowed for good multimedia connections but was not loaded down with a lot of extraneous features I wouldn't want or need. I don't need a television with its own browser or apps. I have it hooked up to a pc, which gives it all those functions. Indeed, with so many game systems, blu-ray players, etc. with their own ways of connecting to media sites, paying a lot more for a television that does the same seemed plain silly. The newest models offer 3D, but that's much more of a gimmick than something I really wanted. The technology isn't advanced enough to use it without thinking about it, and when I'm watching a show or movie, I want to think about what I'm watching, not how.
So, this 'ignorant' television allows me to connect whatever I want, and have a great image when I do. I have an over the air antenna connected to it as well as a PC, playstation, and dvd player. The reception is good with the antenna, and living near Los Angeles gives me about 70+ channels to choose from (though a large percentage of those are in languages I don't understand). I connected my PC to the TV with a HDMI cable, and that provides both high quality image and sound. It's like having a much larger monitor with all the same functions, but I almost exclusively use it for multimedia.
The sound is good, but not great. We live in an apartment now, though, which means that great sound would bother the neighbors. We can have a fan on, and still keep the volume about 15 (out of 100), which means the speakers work sufficiently and are indeed better than the model we had before.
The image quality is superb. Deep blacks and bright whites. There does tend to be a bit more shadow in these Samsungs, so you have to think about whether you want deeper blacks or more washed out images that show more detail. I've yet to be bothered by it, myself, so it is far from being a major issue. Color is great, and the extensive adjustments that are possible make it very personalized to your own preferences.
Each of these preferences have to be adjusted for each source, however, which makes for a bit more work. I wish they had a universal setting to adjust every input the same.
But that's a minor issue among many other very great attributes. I wanted a TV that functioned more as a screen for my other media products, not a TV that replicated all those other functions. I wanted a TV with high quality picture, a lot of inputs for both new and older components, and that would allow me to customize what I needed without having to pay for a lot of stuff I didn't need.( If you will buy this TV I suggest you have to check for best deal at: http://cheap-hdtv-suggestion.blogspot.com/2011/10/samsung-ln46d630.html )
This has fulfilled and exceeded in parts my expectations.
Hope this helps you. -
"an excellent hdtv"
on by purenvPros The TV is thin and has good audio which is hard to find these days. No frills TV with a great picture at a great value.
Cons none so far
Summary Good audio meaning: great for watching normal tv shows, not to watch movies like a home theater. But that is to be expected. The speakers are perfect and loud if, the TV is mounted on it's stand on a TV stand so the thin speakers have something to reflect the sound off of. If you mount it on the wall the audio volume will not be as loud.
"Great Picture for Price"
on by mgheffPros Solid Picture, relatively attractive design, generous connections, swivel stand
Cons Picture could always be better, but for this price it's great
Summary Overall, we just wanted a solid TV around 40 inches. LED models have the edge nowadays on design and features, but this TV was equal if not better than many of those TVs when it comes to picture quality. It's a shame Samsung no longer sells it, and it is no longer on Amazon (where we got it). If these companies keep trending towards LEDs like they have been, I hope the prioritize picture quality instead of just focusing on design. If you can still find this TV anywhere, I highly recommend it.
"Great T.V."
on by ChristopherC1Pros Ease of set up, great picture, price was right, simple remote.
Cons If there is any that I can find on this television, it has to be the sound. But you will find this problem on every other television out there that is this thin.
Summary Overall, A great television. The picture is unreal. I do not have HD hooked up to my television, but to me it looks as good as my neighbor's television that is connected to HD.
"Ticking Time Bomb"
on by edgewaterluvPros I really like the look of this tv. It has a great picture and once I figured out how to use it, I enjoyed the ease of use.
Cons Major piece of junk. I have not even had my tv two years, I have audio but no visual. A friend of mine purchased one and her tv did not last a year and Samsung could not fix it so they gave her a new one. I just found out today that the second one only la
Summary This company will not stay in business if they can't produce a longer lasting product.
