Running shoes in brief
While you might not think twice about them, your running shoes are critical to your success when running or engaging in any kind of sporting event. There are many new things to find in running shoes these days that show just how important these areas and why the right moves are required when getting certain shoes to fit well.

Yoga for health
Yoga for health
Yoga is to some a mystical experience where you come into harmony with your body and your energy, to others it is a way to stay feeling young, and to others it is a necessity that keeps pain at bay and allows a higher quality of life. When you start talking about yoga the first stop is India in the first millennium BC. During this era yoga became one of the six orthodox schools of Hindi and around the cross over from BC to AD (CE) the practice went from a series of gestures and poses to heighten spiritual awareness to the full body poses and introspection with the rise of Hatha Yoga. Hatha yoga is a series of posture and breathing to purify the body in preparation for meditation.

Last week, NASA received the go ahead to proceed with development of its Space Launch System, a bloated multi-billion dollar 21st century version of the Saturn V, designed to eventually launch a manned mission to Mars. It's so expensive that they'll only be able to afford to launch it once every two or three years, which doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence. Meanwhile, SpaceX is proceeding to develop a new high-thrust liquid oxygen/methane-based engine that will power its Mars Colonial Transport, an even more powerful rocket that will probably cost one tenth as much as the SLS.
All this and more is detailed in Battle of the Heavyweight Rockets, a long, detailed, and heavily hyperlinked article on NasaSpaceflight. com. It's the best, most up-to-date article on the subject that I've seen yet and along with the hyperlinked articles, should provide many hours of reading.
With the recent announcement the Space Launch System (SLS) has become challenged by her schedule, the NASA rocket may soon find herself in a battle with a commercial "alternative". SpaceX's super powerful Exploration Class rocket is targeting crewed missions to Mars up to 10 years ahead of SLS – although both vehicles continue to avoid being classed as competitors.
Monster Rockets:
The requirement of a Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle (or HLV) for lofting large payloads into deep space has been a central element of mission architectures since the Apollo program.
During the Space Race, both the Soviet Union (with the N1 rocket) and the United States (with the Saturn V) were challenged with sending humans to the surface of the Moon, assisted by the power of a HLV.

Manchester police officer's deal with court includes anger management classes
The deal means that if Adam Beland, a 7-year officer of the Manchester Police Department, complies with the requirements and stays out of trouble, the two misdemeanor assault charges against him will be dropped, said Kirsten Wilson, a prosecutor with the Rockingham County Attorney's Office.
Doing so also means no criminal record for Beland. Wilson said the resolution is typical for first-time domestic violence charges at Manchester District Court.
"We talked to his wife about this extensively," Wilson said, adding the wife supports the deal.
In January, Beland pleaded innocent to approaching his wife from behind, shoving her two or three times, placing his left hand around her neck and pushing her out of their Country Club Drive apartment.
He was released on bail and initially placed on unpaid leave from the police department, pending trial.
But in March, a judge modified Beland's bail to allow him to work inside the police station. The modification allowed Beland to possess a weapon while at work, but he would surrender the weapon and ammunition upon leaving the building.
Police spokesman Lt. Maureen Tessier said Tuesday that Beland's status remains unchanged; he is working at a limited duty capacity for the department. Tessier said police will not comment any further about the matter.
The Rockingham County Attorney handled the case to avoid any appearance of a conflict, Wilson said.
She said restrictions on possession of firearms remain in effect until the charges are dropped.
Under the deal, Beland must participate in a domestic violence evaluation, which must be performed by a provider approved by the prosecutor. He must take a 10-week anger management class. He must participate in a parenting class, which can be satisfied by the child impact class that is required of all divorce proceedings in the state, Wilson said.
Wilson said such arrangements are made with consideration of how successful a prosecution would be and the best resolution for the victim and society. She said the case involved conflicting witness statements.

If you see an Omega Constellation model 14747 in the wild, stalk and run it down because you'll be one of the few people ever to hold this rare species in captivity. If you find two, consider a breeding program! If one happens to be clinging to the wrist of its custodian please use means of persuasion other than homicide to facilitate the separation process - the offering of money suggests itself as a better alternative.
As the comparatively rare model 2887 is the screw-in case back version of the calibre 505 model 2852, so the 14747 is the screw-in contemporary of the calibre 504 powered 2493. Unlike the 2887 which encases a 29mm dial, the 14747 takes the same dial as the 2943.
I am told that the 14747 came in all metals, and while I have seen pink and yellow gold capped and stainless steel cases I am yet to catch sight of a solid gold version.

All non-solid-gold pieces feature a 14 karat gold medallion on the case back. Stainless steel models pick up the colour of the dial furniture. In the case of rhodium plated markers and hands, the medallion is yellow gold.
Omega archives indicate that the 14747 was the replacement for the 14397, and while the 14397 does not appear in the Omega vintage database either, it was powered by the calibre 504 and had a screw-in case back too. The 14397 pictured below is the first and only example I have seen. Interestingly, case parts (such as case backs and crystals) for the 14397 are interchangeable with case 14393 which housed the first calibre 561 model.
Model 14397 gold capped. Courtesy Hoi
A plausible explanation for the existence of the two calibre 504 screw-in versions may be that when the decision was made to move exclusively to screw-in cases with the new mid-500 series of calibres Omega designated the remaining calibre 504 inventory to be cased in the screw-in cases 14397, and soon after the 14747.
Hence, it is perfectly acceptable to describe both the 14397 and 14747 as 'rare', and I'm hoping that word alone will trigger a wider search for these elusive pieces. They are out there. If you encounter one, please click the 'About Me' icon and send an email with pictures!

[The song "Straight Edge" was] "a song about my life, about the way that I look at things, and my decisions. And, it was essentially inspired by a song by Jimi Hendrix, of all people, and a song called 'If Six Were Nine' [sic], and in that song, he's singing about being a freak. And he says, "I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to." And those words, when I was a kid hearing those words, it just blew my mind. So, essentially, 'Straight Edge' was the same message: "It's my life, so don't give me a hard time for my decisions to not engage in, like, what everybody seems to do all the time."

If You Aren't Using an SSD, You're Doing it Wrong.
Gamers are a unique group of users. The performance levels that are needed to tackle the newest gaming titles are at an all-time high, and gamers are the first to snag the best and baddest graphics card or latest CPU without questioning its upgrade value. But when it comes to updating your storage, why the delay in showing your hard drive the inside of an e-waste bin? SSDs are proven to increase fluidity of game-play as well as overall system responsiveness, but it may be difficult to put flawlessly fast installs and instant load times into perspective until you've actually tried it out yourself.

A SWAT situation at a Pinellas County motel ended peacefully Tuesday morning, and deputies say it all began when a man robbed a cab driver.
It began around 1:30 a.m. when deputies say the suspect took a backpack from a cab at a storage unit just off U.S. 19 in Palm Harbor.
The cab driver chased the man to the America's Best Value Inn Motel at 28488 U.S. 19 North, where the suspect, identified as 23-year-old David Shaffer, allegedly threatened to kill the driver if he came any closer.
Deputies say a gun was in the backpack. Shaffer took shelter inside a room, and deputies say his girlfriend, 22-year-old Kristi Orestas, was also inside the room.
Shaffer was barricaded inside the room but surrendered peacefully after negotiating with authorities. He was taken into custody and is charged with armed robbery.
Orestas does not face any charges.
Deputies believe the man was looking for money or drugs.

View O B Research's Instablogs on:
Do investors understand the REE markets and Molycorp & Lynas?
I think not and here is why, please remember that some of these numbers are rough estimates because there seems to be very little research about part of this out there.
The REE market is about 125 - 130.000 tons. A rough estimate says that 85.000 of those tons are Cerium and Lanthanum that are the bulk light REE´s that frankly according to us at www.ob-research.com have less than great fundamentals the coming years. The Chinese have plenty of them but their current export quota system of "number of tons REEs" rather than individual metals favors export of the more valuable HREEs like dysprosium & terbium before the light bulk ones.
The result is amazing. The price of Lanthanum and Cerium are 5-8 times lower in China (which is the largest REE market in the world..) than in the rest of the world. In other words, the current system gives us oversupply of Ce and La in China but extremely high prices in the rest of the world.
Molycorp and Lynas will in respectively two phases add 20+20+11+11=62.000 tons of new REE supply the coming few years. Let us look closer at that supply: 83% of Molycorps new supply or 33.000 tons will be Cerium & Lanthanum. For Lynas 73% or 16.000 tons.
So you have an addition in the international arena of 49.000 tons compare to the total world market of maybe 85.000 tons.
Given the Metal Pages prices as of last week Molycorp would recieve 74% from Cerium and Lanthanum and Lynas 58%. What do you think would happen if those prices are cut in half or worse as the international supply picture outside China is being completely revolutionized?
We feel that investors in especially Molycorp ignore this because of ignorance. Why brokerage firms ignore it we can only guess something in the line of huge capital raisings for these two projects. Some say that this will never happen because there will be delays and failures. We then kindly ask, why would you then want to own these companies with that risk?
Let us look at something more fun our one and only preferred REE vehicle for 2011 - 2014 and the fundamentals behind that company called Dacha Strategic Metals.
If it is difficult to get a hold on proper numbers for the current production and consumption of Lanthanum and Cerium it is even harder to find it for Dysprosium and Terbium so you should understand these numbers as +-20%.
Terbium 2011: 300 tons
Dysprosium 2011: 1200 tons
What will will Lynas and Molycorp add to these markets? Well if we assume that they both manage both phases and increase world supply of REEs by a combined 62.000 tons annually.... they will add 15.4 tons of Terbium and 26.4 Dysprosium. If you believe they will only manage one phase you cut it in half. By the way, all above is Lynas.
All the cool things like making electronics small and getting nice LED colours in your I-Pads, lap tops etc as well as wind turbines, the modern light bulbs and electric cars that is with one exception NOT done with Cerium and Lanthanum (the Prius batteries do use those but the trend is as most know for Lithium in the industry and that metal is plentyful from future brine sources) no, the cool stuff is all about Dysprosium and Terbium and the reason why Molycorp and Lynas can even have pictures of it is the Neodymium content in their ore, a light REE with both surging demand and supply.
These very small markets of the Dysprosium and Terbium with their 10% annual growth, is what all the promotors of REE companies want you to get the impression that they have exposure to. Looking at the fundamentals for 2011-2014 that is very easy to understand.
The truth is that very few of them have that exposure, they are actually future Cerium and Lanthanum producers. Looking at the fundamentals of Cerium and Lanthanum, is that what you want to invest in? Further, do you understand that the processing of these metals is a very complicated process with high risk of failure, delays and cost overruns for future producers?
In the precious metal sector the trend has been to own the physical metal and producing those metals is MUCH less of an adventure compared to producing oxide and metal REEs...
And even if the juniors succed at their timelines of 2014 - 2016. What if all those promises of great heavy REE properties in production come true? Hundreds, of new tons of supply to these very small markets... Do you want to own that junior when the market start reflecting the new supply or do you bet on only your junior being able to enter production on time?
If you read this far you probably are in two categories by now, you either shut off and don´t want to listen or you dedide not to own that "REE bubble".
Well we suggest to re-focus... The terbium and dysprosium market most likely has falling supply from the worlds only producer China, especially the clays in southern China where the government is rapidly closing illegal as well as too small mines. That supply situation will last until 2015 when another district starts adding supply.
The growth in demand is very inelastic (price is not much of an issue) and around 10% annually from users like Prius (and other brands) hybryd cars (motors and break system, NOT batteries), computer hard drives (would be much bigger and not work warm without), the modern kind of light bulbs, all kind of electronics that is made smaller and has nice color dispalays.
We know that a Prius use 0.1 kg of these metals which would be maybe 150 usd we can guess that an I-phone weighing maybe 100 grams has 1-2 grams or maybe 2 usd worth of Te & Dy in it at current prices.
In other words, prices has to go alot higher to choke off a market that wants to grow 10% annually at static supply and this is what we see every week so far during 2011, very logical.
So finally lets get to our investment vehicle of choice. Dacha Strategic Metals (Venture exchange Canada V.DSM) is not complicated at all. They have basically bought the physical metal Dysprosium and Terbium + a few others carefully chosen (no Cerium, no Lanthanum..) and stores it at LME approved storage facilities in South Korea as the supply demand thing works itself out.
Look at the NAV value/share of their metals this year:
January C$ 0.45
February C$ 0.51
March C$ 0.58
April C$ 0.68
May C$ 0.71
In a few days we expect them to report a new NAV of C$ 0.91
The current stock price is C$ 0.55 www.dachametals.com
O B Research is a group of Swedish private investors that invest in and write about commodities and the companies owning or producing them. Combined, we currently own ~ 7% of Dacha Strategic metals at the moment because we believe it to be the best way to get exposure to the few rare earths that are actually rare.

Rare Earth investing fundamentals
Most investors look at rare earth metals as a group which is a very very flawed way of looking at this market and most likely reason to quite serious future losses.
Some investors have gained some further knowledge and talk about light and heavy rare earths and realize that the fundamentals for these two groups are different. That is still a somewhat flawed way of looking at thing because not all light REE´s have bad fundamentals and not all heavy REE's have great growth prospects.
So let us simply choose the two REE's that has the best fundamentals and learn about them and even better, invest in them while we skip things like Lanthanum and Cerium that has a high risk of seeing sharply lower prices if companies like Molycorp and Lynas are successful.
Rather than writing it all again I will post a link to our blog where google translator does a fairly good job translating it from Swedish to English.
As a disclosure I should mention that we own close to 5% of V.DSM in Canada which is our preferred way to invest directly in Terbium and Dysprosium while staying away from the Lanthanum & Cerium companies called Molycorp and Lynas and the juniors that are so many years away from MAYBE being able to produce Terbium & Dysprosium in a market that is in serious deficit right NOW.
The blog translated to English: translate.google.com/translate
The blog in Swedish: http://www.ob-research.com/node/890
The last NAV of the Dysprosium & Terbium company Dacha Strategic Metals was 71 cents but it moves up every month and with the latest increase of international Ferrodysprosium prices that should now be 77 cents and could surpass 80 cents since the domestic prices of terbium oxide is now much higher than the international ones which should play catch up the coming week.
Since we are new posters to Seeking Alpha there might be some technical issues with my posting and you should of course know that English is not our native language and we therefore apologize for the spelling...Tags: LYSCF, LYSDY, MCP, MLYFF, ANLKY, Rare Earth, Commodities

ATLANTA, GA – Synchronicity Theatre will postpone the premiere of Lasso of Truth, originally scheduled to open March 21 at SCADshow (formerly 14th Street Playhouse). The postponement follows the Woodruff Arts Center's sale of the building to the Savannah College of Art and Design on Jan. 2.
Synchronicity produced the most successful
show in their history (Peter Pan and Wendy) at 14th Street Playhouse in
December. The nonprofit theatre company supports plans for the building, particularly the Woodruff's decision to donate $1 million from the sale to the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta to create a fund
serving metro performing arts organizations. Nonetheless, the
sale introduced a shift in priorities for Synchronicity, who will be
looking for a more permanent home for next season.
"SCAD and the Woodruff Arts Center have both been terrific in this
transition, and have made it possible for us to be successful," explains Synchronicity Producing Artistic Director Rachel May, "But the building sale created a domino effect for us that caused us to re-prioritize our next steps. We want this show to be perfectly positioned and the Fall
will be the best time." The nonprofit theatre's next Family Series show, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, opens Friday, February 14th at
"SCAD has done a gorgeous re-imagining of the building," says May.
About Lasso of Truth
Written by Carson Kreitzer, Lasso of Truth is smart and
seductive, tracing the origin story and lasting impact of the comic
character Wonder Woman through an imagining of the life of her
controversial creator William Marston. Synchronicity is partnering with
local cosplay organization Girls of the Con to promote Lasso of Truth.
By moving the play's world premiere to next season, Synchronicity
anticipates even more opportunities to connect with local comic book
fandom, including a presence at DragonCon.
About Synchronicity Theatre
Synchronicity Theatre, led by Producing Artistic Director Rachel May and Managing Director Dee Sandt, produces smart, gutsy, high-quality
theatre aimed to activate communities towards social change. The company is committed to supporting the work of women artists and developing new work. The world premiere of Lasso of Truth is a part of
Synchronicity's Bold Voices Series. For more information, visit
About SCADshow
With access to SCAD Atlanta, SCADshow, and the 60,000-square-foot
Digital Media Center, a multi-use theater, and a high-definition TV
studio, graduate film and television students create music videos,
commercials, branded entertainment, Web series, talk shows, sitcoms and

Paterson wades into tobacco tax controversy
Rensselaer, NY, Jan 22, 2010 — Facing a more than $7 billion deficit, Governor Paterson is plumbing even long-shot revenue sources to make up the spending gap - things like the so-called "obesity tax" on soft drinks. Another is collecting tobacco taxes from the state's Indian Nations. Initial reaction from tribal chiefs suggests Albany shouldn't expect the money anytime soon. As David Sommerstein reports, Paterson has been reluctant to tread where past Governors have failed.

Cinematical, TV Squad's detached fraternal siamese twin, also at Comic-Con
by Danny Gallagher, posted Jul 25th 2009 8:26PM
Even though TV Squad's very own John Scott Lewinski is fighting his way through hordes of overweight Rorschachs and pre-pubescent Chun Lis to get exclusive interviews and scoops on the newest TV news at the San Diego Comic Con, don't forget that our partners-in-crime from Cinematical are also there covering the latest flim-flam in film.
The movie side of the annual pop-culture cavalcade opened with one of the biggest names in the history of film and what could very well be one of the biggest names in the future of film. Director James Cameron screened a solid 25 minutes of his forthcoming sci-fi epic Avatar. Blogger Todd Gilchrist got a hint of the plot and special effects movie-goers can expect when the film hits theaters later this year and said it "promises to be both hugely entertaining and technically groundbreaking." Man, that's got me worried. That's what they also said about Titanic.

Jellywatch: Observing Blobs for Marine Ecology
By Sheetal R. Modi August 2nd, 2014 at 9:52 am | Comment
Turn your beach visit into marine ecology research on worldwide jellyfish populations.
Looking for more summertime citizen science projects? Find them here.
Between 2012 and 2013, power plants in Israel, Sweden, Scotland, Japan, and the U.S. were shut down unexpectedly, all for the same reason: jellyfish. Blooms of jellyfish abundantly swarmed in coastal waters and clogged water intake pipes, forcing plants to halt operations and clear the unwitting slaughter. More recently, headlines have heralded an upswing of jellyfish appearances, such as CNN's "Jellyfish taking over oceans, experts warn," and Nature News' "Attack of the blobs." Just last week, BBC News reported record numbers of jellyfish spotted on the Welsh coastline this summer. At first glance, these sightings appear to reflect a global increase in jellyfish populations, but scientific studies say that current data is too limited to make conclusions on the ecological effects of these gelatinous zooplankton.
Exploring Citizen Science
By Rae Moore August 1st, 2014 at 5:24 pm | Comment
This post, written by Christine Nieves, originally appeared on the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Pioneering Ideas blog. Check out the citizen science projects mentioned in the post, such as: FoldIt, Sound Around You, and FightMalaria@Home.
I remember the distinct feeling of learning about Foldit. It was a mixture of awe and hope for the potential breakthrough contributions a citizen can make towards science (without needing a PhD!). Foldit is an online puzzle video game about protein folding. In 2011, Foldit users decoded an AIDS protein that had been a mystery to researchers for 15 years. The gamers accomplished it in 3 weeks. When I learned this, it suddenly hit me; if we, society, systematically harness the curiosity of citizens, we could do so much!

Coop's Citizen Sci Scoop: Patients Who Were Research Subjects and the Doctors Who Listened – the Citizen Science of HIV/AIDS Research
By Caren Cooper July 20th, 2014 at 10:21 pm | Comment 1
Editor's Note: Flight MH17 was a horrible tragedy, with many lives lost, including HIV/AIDS researchers en route to a conference. In Caren Cooper's latest Coop's Citizen Sci Scoop, she explains how citizen science assisted with AIDS research, and how AIDS activists were able to become participatory members of the medical and scientific process. Here, in full, is Caren's post.
Many prominent people involved in HIV/AIDS research lost their lives when Malaysian plane MH17 was shot down over Eastern Ukraine. HIV/AIDS researchers exemplify how scientists serve the public good. A key to HIV/AIDS research has involved embracing a certain type of citizen science.
The rapid advances in HIV/AIDS treatment in the late 1980s and early 1990s occurred because of major changes in medical research brought about by the lay public. In part, AIDS activists were eager to reform clinical trials in the United States. But equally important, the biomedical research community was (ultimately) receptive to this change.
The term citizen science in this blog is used to describe projects where the public engages in scientific research. It is usually through collecting and sharing observations or by coding data online. Citizen science can also be used more broadly to describe ways that the lay public participates in and influences the practice of science. (Indeed, the term "citizen science" was initially coined by Alan Irwin in 1995 to mean just that).
A colleague recently sent me a 1995 journal article by Steven Epstein. Now a prominent sociologist, his article is a condensed version of Epstein's dissertation research about the social movement of AIDS activists. (For further reading, see his book).
I summarize Epstein's research in this post. He examined how AIDS activists became seen as credible agents of the scientific community and developed into important partners to AIDS researchers and government officials in the United States.
In 1981, AIDS was recognized as an epidemic. In 1985, the HIV antibody test became available to the public. People, mostly in their twenties and thirties, were learning that they were infected long before they showed any symptoms. But this was long before any effective treatments were discovered. A positive test result was a like a death prophecy. Some accepted their fate; many others became activists searching for a cure.
In the United States, the group primarily seen as affected by the disease were already seasoned activists in making the public aware of gay identity. The homophile movement of the 1950s was followed by the gay liberation movement of the 1970s. The gay and lesbian community had already "demedicalized" gayness. They had redefined their social status, becoming a legitimate "interest group" in the pursuit of civil rights. They had resources, people of influence, funding, a strong public relations arm, lobby groups, and community-based organizations.
This group understood that the future of their health required a close working relationship with scientists. Anything less would be group suicide. AIDS research involved all types of scientists who had strong credentials, such as immunologists, virologists, molecular biologists, epidemiologists, and physicians. How could the lay public improve their research?
The answer was speed. Initially, AIDS activism focused on the FDA and the desire for more rapid approval of experimental drugs and the ability to obtain unproven treatments from other countries. When none of the existing drugs were working, activists focused on the NIH, seeking more drugs to test. It was in this way that treatment activists influenced not only the design, conduct, and interpretation of clinical trials, but also the speed in which they were carried out. The timeframe for testing the safety and efficacy of AIDS drugs was reduced, counted in months, rather than years.
Treatment delayed was treatment denied. By 1987, more than 46,000 Americans were infected with HIV and over 13,000 had died from AIDS.
To take one example, Mark Harrington, a script writer with no scientific background, epitomizes the involvement of AIDS activists in science. Like other activists, Harrington helped ACT UP to organize demonstrations. In 1988, it was "Seize Control of the FDA." On May 21, 1990, it was "Storm the NIH." These protests drew attention, but a more nuanced discussion of scientific practices was needed. Activists did not want to be victims, or be powerless or oppressed. They wanted to help discover treatments, even if that meant trying lots of drugs that did not work. Harrington responded by learning the technical details of AIDS, until he could participate knowledgeably in scientific discussions. By 1992, Mark delivered his first plenary at the Eight International AIDS conference. He began co-authoring peer-reviewed papers, and continued to publish for years (including, for example, a 2006 paper in PLOS Medicine).
How did Harrington go from street demonstrator to scientific collaborator? AIDS activists like Harrington took a four-pronged strategy to gain credibility and authority.
First, influencing drug testing required a working knowledge of pharmaceutical companies and government. To be successful, the activists had to learn to speak the language of the researchers and learn the culture of medical science. Activists learning about biomedical research found it similar to learning a foreign language and entering another country. Immersion was best. This meant attending scientific conferences, critiquing research projects, even being tutored by scientists. They would read a protocol, learn as much as possible about how the drug is known to work, learn about virology, immune systems, statistics, as well become familiar with the regulations just like an informed patient. Harrington prepared a 50-page dictionary of the vocabulary. Soon activists could talk about viral assays, reverse transcription, cytokine regulation, epitope mapping. Once activists spoke the language, scientists were receptive to discussions.
Second, activists presented themselves as informed, knowledgeable representatives – voices of people who were suffering with AIDS/HIV. Researchers wanted to work with activists too because then they could better ensure that enough people would enroll in their treatment trials and comply with protocols. Activists brokered the relationship between researchers and patients.
Third, activists linked arguments about scientific methodological to moral arguments. For example, early trials were of middle-class white men, but affected populations included injection drug users, people with hemophilia, women, minorities, and heterosexuals. Activists conceived of experimental treatments as a social good to which everyone should have equal access. The history of clinical trials in the United States is full of stories of abuse, lack of informed consent, and people unknowingly exposed to risk and harm. Activists shifted discourse to emphasize the right of human subjects to assume the risks of experimental therapies and to be informed partners in scientific methods. They wanted policy that was credible both morally and scientifically.
Fourth, and perhaps most important, activists were taking sides in debates about clinical trials. Before activists took sides, most researchers performed only randomized, controlled, clinical trials with particular methods that did not allow research subjects to have access to potentially helpful treatment.
People who already tried one treatment would be excluded from tests of a new treatment in the name of "clean data." But not all researchers believed in clean data. The world, after all, is messy and many researchers thought drugs should be tested in real-world situations. Activists favored the pragmatic "messy" practice. They feared the "fastidious" practice of clean data from homogenous groups because it prevented terminally-ill patients from trying new treatments. Activists argued that the only way to obtain clean data in a messy world was to unfairly manipulate and control people. But you could, they and scientist-allies argued, get reliable answers quickly in the real-world if there was a change in clinical trials.
Underlying the four-prong strategy is the basic premise that AIDS clinical trials function simultaneously as research and medical care.
After constant efforts, AIDS activists gained authority, which usually only comes from academic degrees and institutional affiliations. They went from diseased victims to activist-experts. They became citizen scientists.
Today such activists are voting members of NIH committees that oversee drug development.
They are representatives at FDA advisory committee meetings where drugs are considered for approval.
They serve on institutional review boards of hospitals and research centers.
And, like many of the passengers on Malaysian Airlines flight 17, they fly to global conventions on AIDS research.
Waiting for a butterfly to flutter by with the Los Angeles Butterfly Survey
By Melinda T. Hough July 20th, 2014 at 11:01 am | Comment
Live in Los Angeles county? Photograph butterflies and moths, and help scientists study climate change.
Interested in more moth and butterfly citizen science projects? We've got you covered!"Once I read a story about a butterfly in the subway, and today, I saw one…" [2]
In the heat of summer monsoons, butterflies accompany the paddling turtles in the lake outside my window… butterfly? Wait a minute; I remember dragonflies, not butterflies, from childhood. Nightly news reports every evening that our fragile blue marble is undergoing significant changes. Could butterflies and moths help scientists understand how living organisms adapt to climate change?
More than 174,000 species of butterflies and moths, the Lepidoptera, or scaly-winged insects, have been cataloged, making them some of the most successful insects to flutter across our planet. Vital to local ecosystems, butterflies and moths are important food sources and pollinators, only differing in their coloration (bold colors vs. drab monochrome) and diurnal/nocturnal range. Yet, only 236 species of butterfly have been observed in Los Angeles County.The Los Angeles Butterfly Survey, a partnership between the all-volunteer Butterflies and Moths of North America (BAMONA) and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, is working with citizen scientists to count and photographically catalogue the butterflies, and moths, found between the urban skyscrapers of southern California.
Becoming a butterfly, or moth, hunter has never been easier. Citizen scientists simply photograph, noting the date, time, and location, of their winged sighting. The photo and observations are then uploaded to the BAMONA website, where experts identify/verify the species before adding the find to their database. The data is used to develop a visual database and life history page for each species including stunning, user-submitted, photographs and maps reflecting recent sightings.
Kelly Lotts, co-founder of BAMONA, notes, "It is very easy for kids to grab cameras and to take photographs of species found where they live or at their school… Kids really enjoy being able to point to their dot on the map, to their actual photograph."Since its launch in 2011, the Los Angeles Butterfly Survey has become an invaluable tool encouraging city dwellers to become scientists for the day. Over 628,000 butterfly and moth sightings have been recorded across all of North America; 1320 for southern California. Lotts goes on to explain, "We get a lot of data requests from scientists looking at butterflies as indicators of climate change… in 2011 and 2012, in California, there was a sighting of Hyalophora cecropia each year. This is very unusual as the Cecropia is found in the east of the Rocky Mountains."
Citizen scientists benefit from their involvement as well. At the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, they are mapping local species in order to inform planting in the pollinator garden. New projects are sprouting up including the Monarch Larva Monitoring Project. According to Lila Higgins, Manager of Citizen Science for the museum, "Citizen scientist are already getting so much out of their experience. They are thinking like scientists – making predictions about what they are going to find in the coming weeks. Talk about science in action."
Why not grab a camera and enjoy the summer sun while waiting for a butterfly to flutter by?

Yes this is another new rocker design. We have been busy. What was supposed to just be a simple square looking porch rocker for a family member, turned out to be more. We decided we wanted to go ahead and market a simplified lower priced rocker. This rocker still has some handshaping in it, but not as much as our other rockers. We did a carved seat, but not the barrell stave seat as in the other rockers. The back spindles are all bentwood, still giving a great lumbar support. This little gem is still quite comfortable and can go on a porch or inside. We made this one out of mahogany and used an outdoor finish on it, since it was going on a porch. Since we spiced it up more and moved away from the squarer look, we are very pleased with it. This rocker will be great for those customers that want a rocker, but don't want to spend the higher price tag. We decided to call this porch style rocker "The New Mexico Rocker" after our home state, where the sunshine is abundant and sitting out on the porch is a favorite passtime.

I really liked this dish. I wouldn't change a thing! Very satisfying and easy to make. I paired it with a spinach salad and crusty bread.
Rich Chicken Stew
From EatingWell:
A blanquette is a classic French stew of veal, chicken or lamb with mushrooms in a velvety sauce. This concept has been adapted to the slow cooker to make a lightened-up version using chicken thighs. Just a little whipping cream (which is less inclined to break down than lighter creams and gives more density to the sauce) adds richness. This is delightful over egg noodles.
22 Reviews for Rich Chicken Stew
i followed the recipe - and used my own delicious fat and salt free chicken stock which only has chicken flavour with a hint of a few vegetables, nothing strong! I read the reviews, made sure that I put in slices of lemon as one reviewer thought maybe people were adding whole lemons. As people were saying it was bitter, I took the lemon slices out half way through cooking. I still added the juice and the zest. No bitter taste at all, just really creamy lemon. Delicious, but really, too much lemon for the majority. Perhaps leave out the lemon juice and certainly take out the slices half way through cooking. Served with a mix or red, brown and wild rice. But, creamy mashed potatoes would be good - or even steamed, cubed pumpkins would be good. Oops, I put a bit of broccoli on the side and this was complemented by the creamy lemon flavour.
Forget the lemons-way too bitter. Suggest reduce lemons or take them out earlier.
I thought this was actually quite good- comfort food, so not jazzy, but solidly delicious. I added more thyme (dried) initially, and then added fresh at the end, so maybe that was the deciding factor. Served over whole wheat noodles- quite tasty.
Have not tired it but it is going on my list. If you love cooking in your crock pot check out this cool app and blog...getcrockingapp.com/blog

The National Museum of Commercial Aviation sends visitors into the friendly skies without ever leaving the ground. Inside the 6,000-square-foot facility rests a collection of more than 35,000 artifacts from airlines and facilities dating as far back as the 1930s. Glass cases house a variety of dishes and flatware from mile-high kitchens, as well as timetables and ticket jackets. Meanwhile, mannequins display 200 vintage uniforms for pilots and attendants alike. Visitors can take a seat inside a Delta Airlines 727 familiarization trainer, replete with switches, gauges, and buttons. Inside they can attempt realistic take-offs and landings while navigating the Microsoft Flight Simulator housed within. The museum is also home to one of the first tug tractors, a Gate Gourmet catering truck, and the cockpit of the Eastern Airlines Martin 404 once used by singer and musician Ray Charles to travel from gig to gig along with his three million baby grand pianos.
With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage your machine maneuvering and your muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.

Batch 88 bottle poured into a goblet glass.
A- Very hazy orange color upon pouring. No head at all.
S- Very strong smell of dark fruits, sweetness, and an overall off putting aroma. Can't put a finger on what the smell is I am getting.
T- Very sweet with hints of dark fruits. Not sure what is going on with the taste, seems to be very confused flavors overall.
M- Very thick and syrupy with a strong, warm alcohol presence.
O- Honestly I was looking forward to finally trying a beer from Hair of the Dog. I could not drink more than 2-3 sips of this one. Same goes for the rest of the people around when we tasted it. Poor flavor and hard to tell if this was still good. Have heard of problems with consistency with this beer, would try it or other HotD again, but only if offered as a sample. I am definitely not willing to pay full price for a bottle or draft of this or others until trying something better.

12oz bottle poured into a Cantillon wine glass.
Batch 78.
To begin with: This beer is explosive. I poured a little bit of the beer gently into the glass and I was met with a rushing cloud of foam and carbonation. I had a half inch of liquid to 10-feet of foam. I literally had to scoop the foam out with a spoon to get it to a level where I could actually get a drinkable amount of beer into the glass. Their first beer I had from them was dead flat and this one's bursting with carbonation.
Anyway, onto the review.
A - After scooping out spoonful after spoonful of dense foam, I am left with about 2.5-fingers of incredibly thick, creamy head. This is the closest thing I've seen that resembles the head that Allagash beers get, but this one gets a little chunky at the top and doesn't budge. Even after sitting for almost a half hour, there's still carbonation and head sticking around on this, unfortunately as it's so thick I'd prefer if it went away. I find no faults with the body, however, as it is a beautiful amber gold with a lot of radiant glow to it. It's hazy, but it's easy to see the multitude of carbonation. The lacing benefits from the persistent head, as it coats it almost completely.
S - After taking my first smell of this, I can definitely tell this is off, as if the head and carbonation didn't give it away. It's full of tart green apples and is slightly sour. I can discern some yeast, malts, and bread, as well as some spices? The back has some citrus hops to it, but not much.
T - The flavors from this are just a mess in my opinion. From the tart notes, to the bready malts, to the overactive carbonation, this is a jumble of flavors that are not congruent at all. I am actually having a tough time picking out specific notes in this. Yeast, green apple, caramel, slight citrus hoppiness. All vying for pole position only to get blindsided by carbonation.
M - Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with too high carbonation. Again, this is the second Hair of the Dog beer I had in as many days that suffer from mouthfeel and carbonation problems. Adam was completely flat, and Fred is brimming with carbonation. Very awkward for the style and flavor profile and I can still feel it bubbling in my stomach.
D/O - Drinkability is low. I kept going back and forth on whether I should drain pour this, being conflicted that it might foam up and clog my drain and pipes, and then getting scared as to what is going to happen to my digestive tract. Eventually I lost the battle with this beer, getting knocked down by the yeast and carbonation, and then finally TKO'd by a surprising amount of sweet cloyingness that manages to rise from seemingly nowhere and assault me in the finish. Stay away unless you can get a guarantee you are getting a clean bottle, which from my now 0/2 track record from Hair of the Dog, makes me think it may be harder than it seems. Take out insurance.

Served from the bottle (Batch 88) into a globed glass
A- Poured a dark hazy orange color with zero carbonation, no head, nothing.
S- Big dark fruits (figs, dates), rye, honey, and tons of sweetness, cardboard, slight wet dog aroma. Not a great aroma
T- Pretty muddled, lots of sweetness, honey, graininess, rye, and marmalade. Some cardboard notes.
M- Very low carbonation, syrupy, fuller bodied, big alcohol warming. Drinks pretty flat overall.
O- I was excited to try a beer from Hair of the Dog but had heard bad things about carbonation issues and have avoided buying their bottles for that reason. This is my first bottle from them and it might be my last. Too much money to spend on unreliable quality issues. Their beers sounds really interesting, maybe I will catch some of their beers on draft sometime. Could not drink more than a couple of ounces of this.

Served from a small bottle (bought at K&L in Redwood City) into a snifter.
A: Dark amber, cloudy. Some yeast sediment floating around. Medium-high head with decent retention.
S: Caramel and floral hops. Maybe even some hot alcohol.
T: Wow, that's bitter and intense. There's almost a stinging sensation a couple of seconds after taking a sip. Bitterness in the aftertaste, as well. Other than that, there are a few complex flavors hidden in there - caramel, maybe liquorice, citrus.
M: Heavy. Medium carbonation. As I mentioned above, the bitterness is quite overwhelming.
O: Definitely a slow-sipping beer. I don't enjoy beers this intense, unless they're barrel-aged stouts or maybe barleywines.

Batch 80 in a tulip. Pours a sunset amber with a beautiful frothy head and leaves nice sticky lacing. Unfortunately for me this is where the good looks end. Nose and taste is like a completly out of balance doggie claws. Overly sweet malts and citrus on the nose with little hop balance and alcohol esters more of the same in the mouth as well with a hot finish. Reminds me somewhat of stone old guardian 2011 which is not a good thing. Not a fan but at least its nice trade bait.

I had the same issue - 2 bottles totally flat. Not a hint of carbonation. No head. This is from Batch 88. Bummer. Will try to find a couple of bottles that are in better shape. Also have a couple of bottles of Adam, same batch. Hopefully not with the same problem.

Poured from the bottle into a Hair of the Dog tulip glass.
Lifeless pour. No carbonation, just a gooey orange apricot glow out of the bottle, filling with an orange and a screeching lifeless faint tan collar on the edges. Nothing going on here.
Aroma is sweet malts and honey. Hop aroma hinting toward spiced pine, with some clove esters a bit. Sugary. Sucrose, and lots of syrup
Palate hints at what could have been. Flat flat lifeless body. Palate fills with a bit of woody hop and pine, but is overtaken by sugary syrup and sucrose thickness. Lifeless and overly sweet.
Remind me to never drink bottle Hair of the Dog ever again, I'll stick to the brewpub where the beers actually shine. This is a disaster, basically drinking liquid sucrose with a bit of hop bitterness.
--- Old review look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 | Final 4.3
Fred consists of very yellow almost lemon yellow opaque appearance. A good solid head that doesn't seem to dissipate too quickly.
The nose on the beer is quite surprising. An overwhelming sense of tropical fruit, specifically mango, and sweetness. Tastes of a sweet sugary honey, but not of heavy alcohol that linger in aftertaste.
An enjoyable beer but depending on your preference for fruit you may not care for it.

Batch 80
A: Pours golden and lifts a fine white less than single finger head which thins to a sheet of the same. Slightly hazy.
S: Sweet grains. Apple skins (too bad). Floral, citrus, vitamin scents here as well.
T: Sweet, alcoholic, phenolic. Not real hop feel here. Woody tones.
M: Syrupy, heavy, moderate carbonation. Coats the mouth and remains resonate.
D: One's enough for me. Too sweet.

Identifies itself as a "Golden Special Ale." Batch number 84. 10% ABV confirmed. 12 fl oz brown glass bottle with standard pressure cap served into a conical Samuel Smith's pint glass in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Acquired at K&L Wine in Hollywood. Expectations are high given current ratings.
Side-poured slowly per instructions on the label. Served straight from the fridge.
A: Pours a 5+ finger light khaki colour head of fair smooth cream, nice thickness, and great (9+ minute) retention. No lacing at all. No bubble show. Body colour is a hazy nontransparent translucent orange. No yeast particles are visible. Generally appealing for a golden ale, with an impressive head. Decent vibrance.
Sm: Fresh orange fruit, mandarin oranges, malty sweetness, pale malts, tropical fruit esters, off-putting pineapple, floral hops, candied fruit, banana, some spicy graininess, light honey, clove, and heavy booziness. Alcohol definitely comes through on this one. Not the refreshing golden ale aroma I expected. It's a bit off-putting, to be honest. The tropical fruit mixed with the alcohol just isn't at all appealing; it's redolent of a crappy cocktail. A moderate to strong aroma.
T: Hrm. Candi sugar, heavy alcohol boozy character, tropical fruit, banana, mango, and overdone sweetness. Green apple. Maltiness here is poorly executed. The balance is crushed by the one-two punch of tropical fruit and alcohol. Ugh. Severely disappointed. No subtlety to this one all. There's decent complexity here, but without balance it's useless. Not liking it. Way too sweet. It's a mess; I'd point to the overly diverse hop varieties as problem-inducing here; that definitely feels like a marketing gimmick. Caramel (and why is this in a Golden Ale?).
Mf: Eroding in its sugary sweetness. Smooth and wet. Tingly from crystal malt. Way too thick, even syrupy and viscous - what is that doing in a Golden Ale? Doesn't suit the flavours all that well. Carbonation is too high, to boot.
Dr: Real hard to drink; the flavours aren't appealing nor is the ABV well hidden. I'm not gonna enjoy finishing this glass. I honestly don't understand the high ratings for this one; it's a failure as a Strong Ale and as a Golden Ale. Trying this makes me happier I haven't sought out Fred From The Wood. If this is the base beer, I don't expect much from any variant. Really disappointed in this one.

A very generous "want" extra from Black13. Thanks Michael!
I popped the top on this and began to gently pour into my Founders tulip. Fred produced a glass full of sticky foam and around 1 inch of beer at the bottom. After letting it settle for 15 minutes I stuck my nose in the glass. Herbal hops, alcohol, and light belgian candi sugar dominate the nose. Really a muddled mess that the excessive amount of CO2 didn't help at all.
I don't know if it was my high expectations or a bad night or if I really just don't like Fred but this is not a good beer based on my one bottle sample. Lots of candi sugar. The most prominent flavor I got out of this beer. Candi sugar is pretty darn distinct and I've used it in home brews before in small doses. They seemed to go overboard. Earthiness from the yeast and/or rye malt is apparent. I think the candi sugar and highly attenuative yeast really dry this beer out. Overly carbonated but the mouthfeel is creamy and pleasant. Yeasty, earthy, bitter, dry, boozy. An odd beer.
Overall, I don't get it. I'm sure the ingredients are top notch but it's a freaking mess. Too much going on with 10 hops, candi sugar, rye malt, and booze. Weird beer but I'm certainly glad I was able to try it.

Spent way to much on this bottle. the batch I tasted was 4 yrs old. Maybe I am not a fan of aged beers. Very heavy mouthfeel, not friendly to the nose. Way to much bready taste and a HUGE belgian yeast aftertaste that lingered and did not go away. Nice to try something different, but we decided Fred can just lie in his bed, permanently.

Ric Edelman becomes sole CEO of Edelman Financial
Send this story to a friend

- Reporter- Houston Business Journal

The Edelman Financial Group Inc. (Nasdaq: EF) said Friday Ric Edelman will become CEO of the wealth management company.
George Ball served as co-CEO alongside Edelman last year, and the Houston-based company said Ball will continue to serve as chairman of the company.
Edelman Financial Group also said shareholders will get a quarterly dividend of 5 cents per share of common stock, payable July 19.
The wealth management company manages about $17.7 billion and has about 500 employees across the country.
On April16, the company said it would go private in a merger with Lee Equity Partners LLC in the third quarter this year, though the proposal needs shareholder and regulatory approval.
Ball had said one of the reasons the company plans to go private is to benefit shareholders, saying the illiquidity in the stock "was somewhat destructive to the shareholders because if they wanted to sell even a fairly small block, it would put a significant amount of pressure on the stock," he had said.
Shareholders got a 43 percent premium to the prior day's share price on April 15, and the stock jumped 41 percent to $8.74 per share on the news.
Prior to Edelman joining the company in 2011, the Edelman Financial Group was known as Sanders Morris Harris Group Inc. The firm changed its name in May 2011.
