Celiac Disease Nutrition Guide, 3rd Ed. (Single Copy)
This easy to read "survival guide" outlines essential information for people diagnosed with Celiac disease.
By Chris Rosenbloom, PhD, RD, CSSD
What does it take to fuel the strength, speed, endurance and grace of the athletes we see on TV? It takes years of training to obtain a coveted spot on an Olympic team, and sports dietitians are part of that team—helping to propel athletes to achieve the Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger).
For athletes, nutrition is one leg of a three-legged stool. Genetic endowment coupled with sport-specific training and coaching cannot stand on their own without proper food and fluid intake.
Registered dietitians are finding creative ways to feed athletes to help them get the most out of their training. Shawn Dolan, PhD, RD, CSSD, senior United States Olympic Committee (USOC) sport dietitian, provides nutrition coaching for team sports including volleyball, beach volleyball, water polo, field hockey, rugby and archery. Many of her athletes focus on achieving and maintaining lean body mass to have the endurance, agility and skill they need. "I find that blanket nutrition recommendations are not always helpful, as different athletes on the same team have different nutritional needs," Dolan says. "The field hockey goalie is different from a midfielder who might run several miles during a match, so altering dietary intake based on physiological demands of the position is important."
Athletes and their nutrition needs can differ significantly from the general public's (recall gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps' 8,000- to 10,000-calorie-per-day diet while training for the 2008 Olympics). The International Olympic Committee's (IOC) 2010 Consensus Statement on Sports Nutrition recommends athletes eat enough carbohydrate-rich foods to maximize muscle glycogen stores before training and competition and replenish the stores after hard exercise. The timing of protein intake can promote muscle protein synthesis.
Jennifer Gibson, MSc, RD, IOC Dip Sport Nutr, USOC's sport dietitian for acrobat and combat sports, works with athletes who compete in weight class sports: judo, taekwondo, boxing and wrestling. A former competitive kickboxer, Gibson knows the culture of the sport in which dropping weight by any means—no matter how it might negatively affect performance and health—is often seen as a necessary evil. Gibson starts by explaining to her athletes the physiology of weight cutting and yo-yo dieting and the "negative effects of dehydration and starvation" on performance.
Working with each athlete, she develops a "body weight code of conduct" to identify the competition weight weeks before the event, so weight loss can be done in a healthful way. She uses a two-phase approach; in the first phase, athletes are given a target calorie goal and encouraged to "eat to energy needs" while at the same time stressing a good hydration plan. In the second phase, the last three or four days before weigh-in, athletes are advised to reduce fiber intake and increase aerobic exercise to help drop the last couple of pounds to make weight.
Athletes often drink low-residue liquid meal replacements to reduce fecal bulk while at the same time getting all the nutrients they need. After the weigh-in, Gibson starts an aggressive rehydration plan, but sticks to low-fiber foods to ease the gastrointestinal tract back into action. "[The athletes] are not starving for the three or four days before competition so they feel better and have the energy and nutrients they need to perform at their best," says Gibson.
Page Love, MS, RD, CSSD, president of NutriFit Sports Therapy Inc. and nutrition consultant to United States Tennis Association Player Development, helps prepare future Olympians to take the court. Love helps athletes make healthful food choices and develop sound on-court hydration plans. Heat illness is one of the most common sports medical issues and it is completely preventable.
"Matches can be quite long—three to four hours with five sets—so they need more than fluids. I encourage them to eat high-carbohydrate energy bars, gels and bananas, in addition to high-carbohydrate sport drinks with packets of electrolytes to help them replace on-court losses," says Love.
Athletes seek every edge they can get, and proper nutrition can help provide it. "Good food choices will not a make a mediocre athlete into a champion," says Ron Maughan, professor of sport and exercise science at Loughborough University, U.K., chair of the sports nutrition group of the IOC Medical Commission, "but poor food choices may prevent the potential champion from realizing his or her potential."

Dte, one more try. As Jemy is saying. The gun control was meant to reduce the amount of gun-related deaths in Chicago. However, if poverty went up at the same time or a multitude of other factors change, then the gun control will not be as effective.
Gun control is only
( repeat, 1, repeat again, 1 ) of the elements of reducing gun-related crimes.
Your oversimplifications do not help.
this thread
we have been discussing gun control and not poverty alleviation since that is what Sam brought up!
If you want to talk about alleviating poverty, then you are welcome to create a thread about that and I am quite certain you will have a lot of people disagreeing with you on those counts too.
So for the last time from me to you:
Gun crime is not related only to gun control, but it is one of the factors as shown from Jemy's graphs, so that is why it IS being discussed as a way to reduce it
Do you finally understand that ?
EDIT: Everyone else, excuse my large fonts, but dte has had a habit of ignoring my posts in this thread, so I'm trying to make sure he actually sees this one.

With the advent of Fanduel.com, daily contests have grown exponentially in popularity with many people abandoning traditional yearly leagues for more instant gratification with games at Fanduel, such as the FP911 Challenge.
Click here to play.
Well, there is no better way to make some money fast than by taking the challenge and testing your fantasy skills against a vast array of diehards who are all trying to earn a quick buck.
What you do is field a traditional lineup-which consists of a C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, three outfielders and one starting pitcher-all within a budget of 35,000 imaginary dollars while competing against hundreds of other players.
The scoring is as follows:
Hitters: 1B = 1pt, 2B = 2pts, 3B = 3pts, HR = 4pts, RBI = 1pt, R = 1pt, BB = 1pt, SB = 2pts,
HBP = 1, Out (calculated as at bats – hits) = -.25pt
Pitchers: W = 5pts, ER = -1pt, SO = 1pt, IP = 1pt*
* Fractional scoring per out.
If your lineup outscores everyone, then you win. What you have to do is figure out who has the best matchups and thus who is due for a big day. Sounds easy don't it?
Well if it were that easy, everyone would be raking in the cash.
Here are some tips to consider for this Friday's DFBC qualifier.
Ace's up (pitching roundup):
You can't go wrong by placing a premium on quality pitching in daily contests as you likely know what you're going to get from aces. With that said, here are Friday's best bets for dominance:
Zack Greinke vs. Pittsburgh
Clayton Kershaw vs. San Diego
Madison Bumgarner vs. Houston
Other decent alternatives include:
C.J. Wilson at New York
Mat Latos vs. St. Louis
Jordan Zimmerman @ Miami
Josh Johnson vs. Washington
Tim Hudson vs. New York
James McDonald @ Milwaukee
Cliff Lee @ Colorado
Checking the injury report:
After battling a concussion, Jesus Montero is being listed as probable to play in this weekend's series.
David Freese should also be good to go after sitting out last Sunday's game with a leg contusion.
Avoiding the DL after missing seven straight games, Will Middlebrooks will still be an extremely risky play.
Adrian Gonzalez suffered an illness on Sunday, but by now he should be good to go.
A sore thumb could sideline Yoenis Cespedes for Friday, as he is being listed as day-to-day.
Hanley Ramirez left Sunday's game with a right finger laceration and the feeling is the time off should have been enough time for him to heal.
Casey McGehee was pulled from Sunday's game with a groin strain and will be iffy for Friday.
Back tightness prevented Brett Lawrie from playing on Sunday. Lawrie will likely give it a go on Friday.
Andres Torres will remain questionable for Friday with his back issue.
Alex Presley has been on the 7-day DL with a concussion but he could be back for Friday's game.
And coming back from the DL this week will be the heralded return of Matt Kemp.
Emilio Bonifacio is slated to come off the DL on Friday as well.
In case you missed it, the following players were placed on the DL this week: Dustin Pedroia, Andrelton Simmons and Giancarlo Stanton.
Who's hot?
Before making any last minute decisions, check out who's tearing it up.
Austin Jackson is currently enjoying a 15-game hitting streak. During this streak, Jackson is 26-55 with two home runs, two doubles, three triples, eight RBI's and 18 runs scored.
Alex Rios' resurgent season is in full swing, as he opens the second half 12 for his last 27 with two home runs, eight RBI's and seven runs scored.
The month of July has been just as good to Paul Goldschmidt as the end of June was. Goldschmidt is batting .370 with one home run, four doubles and seven RBI's in July.
Delmon Young is carrying a streak in which he has hit at least one home run in his last four games. Young has been scorching hot in the last week, going 7-18 in his last five games while also driving in six runs.
Brian McCann is also carrying a four-game streak of hitting at least one home run and is also 8 for his last 16 with 11 runs driven in.
Trevor Plouffe is still bucking the odds and is red hot as we're about to open the second half. Plouffe is riding a 10-game hitting streak and in that stretch he has gone deep four times while also driving in nine runs.
The amazing rookie campaign of Mike Trout continues, as he is now 8-22 in his last six games with three home runs, seven RBI's, six runs and four stolen bases.
Shin-Soo Choo has been blistering hot and in his last 10 games he is 19-43 with three home runs, nine RBI's and 11 runs scored.
Riding a 12-game hitting streak, Neil Walker is making up for a slow start, as he is batting .436 in those 12 games with two home runs and 11 RBI's.
Prince Fielder is on an 8-game hitting streak in which has hit three home runs and driven in 11 runs.
Andrew McCutchen's MVP-type season is in full bloom as we open the second half. McCutchen is 15-29 in his last seven games with three home runs, nine RBI's and 11 runs scored.
In the last few weeks Tyler Colvin has made himself a popular name off the waiver wire. Colvin is 10-35 with five home runs, 11 RBI's and seven runs scored in his last ten games.
How's the weather out there?
I learned the hard way that you should always check the weather report before submitting lineups in daily contests, as there is no makeup game in these contests.
Friday's games in imminent danger of getting rained out (at least 50% chance of rain) as per weather.com include:
New York Mets @ Atlanta (60 %)
So, good luck on putting together a winning team while also raking in the cash.

Do you remember waaaaaay back in the early 2000's (which is like decades ago in Internet years), there were recipe exchanges via email? I don't remember exactly how it worked, but there was a list of people in an email chain… you sent a recipe to everyone on the list and you got a recipe back in return from each person. A lot of the recipes that are my favorites to this day were procured through this email recipe exchange, this cake chief among them. While this cake is better know with an R-rated title, I cleaned it up a bit to make sure I stay out of the junk email boxes, but the flavor combination is unmistakable: a chocolate poke cake infused with sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce, then topped with Cool Whip and toffee bits.
I typically use chocolate cake recipes from scratch when making desserts, but I also love having a few recipes in my back pocket that can be whipped up quickly using a box mix if I'm in a bind. My other favorite for these types of situations is the Ho Ho Cake (which I made three times during the month of December!). If you prefer, you could definitely use your own homemade chocolate cake recipe; my recipe of choice would be the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake, baked in a 9×13-inch cake pan.
Do you have any old recipes from recipe exchanges? What about a favorite poke cake flavor combination?

AP Pro Football Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Manti Te'o and Geno Smith provided the sizzle previously missing from the NFL draft.
Te'o is headed to San Diego, Smith is a Jet, and Radio City Music Hall shook with the kind of noise usually heard in stadiums when they were selected.
The theater rocked with two picks within minutes of each other Friday night.
Te'o, the Notre Dame All-America linebacker, was chosen sixth in the second round by the Chargers, drawing a loud roar from the fans. One spot later, the Jets took the West Virginia quarterback, drawing a raucous reaction of cheers and boos.
The big names had taken over from the bulk and beef of opening night, when 18 linemen went in the first round.
Te'o, who led the Fighting Irish to the national championship game, was projected as a first-rounder last year. But his poor performance in a rout at the hands of Alabama, some slow 40-yard dash times, and a tabloid-ready hoax involving a fake girlfriend that became a national soap opera dropped his stock.
"I did expect to go in the first round," Te'o said. "But things happened and all it did was give me more motivation."
When former Chargers defensive back Jim Hill was handed the card to make the announcement by Commissioner Roger Goodell, he was told, "You're going to get a big cheer when you announce this pick."
It was more a mix of surprise and recognition of the most talked-about player in the draft finally finding a landing spot at No. 38 overall.
The Chargers traded up with Arizona to grab Te'o, the Heisman Trophy runner-up. Te'o ran a 4.82-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, slow for a linebacker. He did better at Notre Dame's pro day, but NFL teams already had plenty of football reasons to doubt his worthiness as a first-round pick.
San Diego was willing to gamble on him.
"We did a lot of work on Te'o and I've seen him for a number of years," first-year general manager Tom Telesco said. "He loves football. He's passionate about it. He loves to practice. He loves to play."
Two officials, each with a different team, said their clubs passed on Te'o in the first round partly because of his off-field issues. The men, speaking on condition of anonymity because team draft strategy is confidential, said the decision was not just because of a disappointing combine performance or the linebacker's poor performance in the national title game.
Te'o was the third linebacker chosen in this draft.
"It's a perfect scenario. My parents can come and watch, I can go home, it's San Diego," said Te'o, a native of Hawaii. "We're all excited. I can't be any happier."
With the very next pick, the Jets sent their QB situation spiraling into further chaos. They already have Mark Sanchez, who struggled last season but was brought back in great part because of a prohibitive contract. They still have Tim Tebow, who almost certainly soon will be cut. They signed David Garrard, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2010.
And now there is Smith, who waited futilely throughout the first round, returned to the theater Friday and was rewarded.
"It's extremely relieving. I withstood the test of time," he said. "It felt like forever in there."
If Smith thought that was tough, wait until he enters the cauldron overseen by Jets coach Rex Ryan, where every move by every QB on the roster is tabloid-Internet fodder for days.
"I'm a competitor and I'm going to accept my role on the team, whatever is handed to me," Smith said, "but my job is to compete day in and day out."
Safety Johnathan Cyprien of Florida International was the first selection of the second round. Cyprien was a standout in the Sun Belt Conference and really solidified his stock with an excellent performance in the Senior Bowl.
"He's got a passion for the game," coach Gus Bradley said. "He is very animated. He just enjoys it. He loves to play the game. I think he's going to add to what we have here and the attitude that we're looking for."
Arizona added some spice to the third round by selecting former LSU cornerback-kick returner Tyrann Mathieu. The Honey Badger was a 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist that LSU dismissed from the team last August for failing a drug test. He was arrested in late October after police said they found marijuana at Mathieu's apartment.

Bought these to try out, mainly for the magazine holder, as all the reviews pointed that it would be worth buying the set for that alone.

It's either genuine Fobus, or the best knock off I've seen. Even if you don't have a P99, it's worth it for the mag pouch!

I'm not what you'd call a luxury car buyer. The closest I ever came was coveting a fire-engine red 1959 Cadillac convertible I saw on a used-car lot in Westport around 1971…for $800. I'm glad I haven't been paying to keep gas in that car all these years, but it would have been a wonderful investment.
I have owned not one but three Mercedes-Benz cars, though not in the bloom of their youth. The last thing I'd ever do is walk into a dealership and buy a brand-new luxury car, because they depreciate so quickly. Luxury is, after all, a funny concept. You have to convince people that a few drops of colored water and chemicals in a fancy perfume bottle is worth $100, or that scraps of cotton sewn in an Asian sweatshop are "haute couture."
This was on my mind last week, when I attended the "What's Next for Luxury?" forum with Ford's vice president of marketing and Lincoln's chief designer. In the wake of the company's selloff of Jaguar and Land Rover, Lincoln has been anointed as the depository of all things luxury, but even Ford acknowledges that Lincoln's image is a little fuzzy. And it's not helped by an alphabetically challenged product line — MKT, MKS, MKZ, MKX — that the public is having trouble keeping straight.
Ford is trying to right the ship. It announced that its long-term ad agency, WPP, will abandon its Team Detroit and create a new dedicated Lincoln agency in New York. Lincoln is being rebranded, and the new concept is "mass customization," which is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?
Personal luxury as a way to re-launch Lincoln is the vision of Jim Farley, Ford's global group vice president of marketing. Farley recently started having his suits made to order, and he likes the posh British word "bespoke," meaning made to the buyer's specs. In Detroit next month, Lincoln will unveil a new personal concept car, priced somewhere between $40,000 and $60,000.
According to Greg Furman, founder and chairman of the Luxury Marketing Council, new money is nervous. "Only 10 percent of the real money is inherited," said Furman. "The rest is working-class kids from humble roots who have reinvented themselves as entrepreneurs." They ate mac and cheese growing up; they have to have "connoisseurship" drilled into them. The bottom line is that if a snooty salesperson turns up his nose when the Beverly Hillbillies walk into the dealership, it's a big loss for the brand. A word to the wise for Lincoln: Get rid of the sound-alike MK names and bring back something iconic: Continental, Premiere, Zephyr, Cosmopolitan. Heck, even Town Car is a pretty good name.

In one form or another, literary criticism is probably as old as literature itself. Judges at Athenian drama festivals, in the 5th century BC, probably engaged in lively literary discussion - no doubt in deciding to award Sophocles second prize for Oedipus Rex around 430 BC . . .
Another answer, though, is that literary criticism - in the form we know it today - emerged around the middle of the 18th century, in the Athens of the North: in Edinburgh. John Stevenson, Professor of Logic and Rhetoric, delivered lectures on literary style around this time, often based on Greek texts. By the late 1740s, Adam Smith was lecturing on 'Rhetoric and Belles-Lettres', though mostly to an early form of extra-mural class.
The decisive move came in 1762, when the Reverend Hugh Blair was appointed by King George III as the first Regius Professor of Rhetoric and Belles-Lettres. Blair had been giving popular lectures on literary history, style, and critical analysis, under this title, to an audience of students and townspeople for several years. The foundation of his Regius professorship fully formalised literature as a subject of study, for the first time, within a British university, and making Edinburgh the longest-established centre of literary education in Britain, and one of the oldest in the world.
Sixteen Regius Professors have followed down to the present day. Professor Greg Walker currently occupies a Chair nowadays named the Regius Professorship of Rhetoric and English Literature. The department is still at the forefront of understanding literature and what makes 'lettres' 'belles' - one generally acclaimed as among the best in the United Kingdom.

I've just coded a very short and non perfect Alfred workflow to be able to use command a freebox player (French set-top box), using Alfred's workflows.
It can be downloaded on packal : freebox_revolution
This is definitely with non guarantees and requiers many improvement.
I hope it can help some of you.
updated with curl instead of wget (thx real3x)
After fighting several hours with keyboard mapping issue with inkscape 0.48 , I found the graal ;
Native ML packaging of Inkscape
This is a Release candidate version, but I don't face any bug. First launch is a bit long, but after, it works very well
I don't know who to thank for this work but if he read those lines i just want to say : THANK YOU !!!!
Of course, my previous blog post on textext is still relevant with this version.
edit : link to native version updated
edit2 : add a link of the RC5 release from my Dropbox:
I finally found the source of those files. It comes from the inkscape developers forum. The thread of interest (last updated : 29 June 2014) can be found here.
I'm a regular user of Inkscape for creating illustration of my papers. And one of the convenient Inkscape extension is Textext. Textext allows to write directly your latex formula in Inkscape and to re-edit them later (see website for more precisions).
I spend many hours on the web to find a way to install the Textext extension on my mac (10.8.4), tried almost lots of tricks, but I always faced an issue with the ""The fantastic lxml wrapper for libxml2 is required…." issue when I try use it !
I finally, I found the solution ! Here is the workflow:
- Download/Install
Inkscape ( note that you need Xquartz 2.3.4 or higher installed on your Mac)the last RC of native os X version of Inkskape HERE
- Download Textext last version from here
- Download/install the Eggbot extensions for Inkscape (This is the magic trick !)
- Browse inkscape package contents, find the extension directory and copy the 2 Textext file into
- Now you can use Textext extension on your mac !
I hope it works for you too !
I recently discover Sublime text 2 (ST2), and it's definitely my favorite IDE for python and latex (at least)! Using Latextool plugin of ST2 allows to compile your latex code with pdflatex and obviously see the result into the default ubuntu pdf viewer tool : Evince. The bad thing here, is that the backward sync (from the pdf, find the corresponding part of your code) doesn't work for me.
So I've decided to move to Okular to get that synchronization working again. And it work under the condition to have the correct okular configuration which is :
Settings => Configure Okular => Editor
Chose Custom text editor and add the following line :
<path_to_your_sublime_text2_app>/sublime_text %f:%l
And here we go, you have the backward synchro.
However , it remains some other minor issues to solve :
- launch okular by default after pressing CTRL+B in Sublime text
- activate the forward synchro.
When your git repository deny to be updated from the origin:
A useful package to reduce space before and inside an itemize/enumerate command.
nolistsep remove all extra spaces in itemize and enumerate call.
If you just want to remove vertical space (not the space before and after ), instead of nolistsep you prefer use :
from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1061112/eliminate-space-before-beginitemize
and http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/21188/reduce-linespread-between-item-globally
Ubuntu 12.04 provide several UI improvement, however, i'm still not fan of the new overlay scrollbar.
One solution to roll back to the previous ones as explained here :
- for Ubuntu 12.04:
$ sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0 liboverlay-scrollbar3-0.2-0
from http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-disable-overlay-scrollbars-in.html

Sinkhole opens up near foundation of Gettysvue home and extends under the driveway and home.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)-- We've seen plenty of rain this season and it's caused problems in the area including sinkholes.
Late Thursday night a sinkhole appeared near the foundation of a home in Gettysvue; as daylight broke it revealed more damage than expected.
Luther Troutt from D&D Underground said "At the surface it just looks like a deep hole but when you get closer to it you can see there's nothing holding up the driveway. Everything's gone."
First Utility District was on site assessing possible damage done to their water lines.
Mark McKinney, Project Engineer at F.U.D said "We got called out here last night because some homes on this street were without water. We had to shut off the main line and dig numerous holes to fix the water lines."
While the sinkhole might not have caused the water damage; F.U.D wanted to take every precaution not cause more damage.
As of now, the sinkhole seems to have compromised the driveway but it could have an effect on the foundation of the home and surrounding structures. It could take some time to repair all the damage caused.
"The homeowners will have to get it filled in with rocks, concrete and dirt. There's no telling how much it will take to fill the hole or how big the hole extends." said Troutt
Since sinkholes are a possibility in Tennessee it's important to make sure you are covered. Regular homeowners insurance doesn't cover sinkholes; however in Tennessee insurance companies are required by law to offer sinkhole insurance.
The only catch-- you have to ask for the insurance but it's usually only about $30.00 a year.

President Barack Obama signed into law Dec. 18 the Patent Law Treaties Implementation Act of 2012, S. 3486, amending the Patent Act to implement two treaties: the Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs, and the Patent Law Treaty.
The treaties were originally signed by President Clinton in 1992, and the Senate ratified both treaties in 2007. S. 3486 is the implementation legislation necessary for the United States to become a member of the treaties.
The Patent Law Treaty limits and synchronizes patent application filing formalities among signatory countries. Under the Hague system, U.S. applicants can apply for design patent protection in all member countries by filing a single application at the Patent and Trademark Office.
The Congressional Budget Office issued a cost estimate Oct. 15 (85 PTCJ 66, 11/16/12). According to the CBO, the legislation "would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply."
The CBO also stated that an anticipated increase in international applications for design patents would not significantly increase the PTO's work load. And, to the extent that there might be some more costs, the PTO is now authorized, since passage of the America Invents Act, to adjust fee schedules in order to account for them.
The Senate approved the legislation Sept. 22 (84 PTCJ 902, 9/28/12) and the House Dec. 5 (85 PTCJ 165, 12/7/12).
The bill was passed by both houses without controversy.

Ronald Wayne
|Ronald Wayne
Ronald Wayne at Macworld 2009
|Ronald Gerald Wayne
May 17, 1934
Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.
Ronald Gerald Wayne (born May 17, 1934) is a retired American electronics industry worker. He co-founded Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) with Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, providing key administrative oversight for the new venture. He soon, however, gave up his share of the new company for a total of US$800.
Early life[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (November 2013)
Wayne was born in Cleveland, Ohio, United States on May 17, 1934.[1]
Wayne worked with Steve Jobs at Atari before he, Jobs, and Wozniak founded Apple Computer on April 1, 1976. Serving as the venture's "adult supervision",[2] Wayne drew the first Apple logo, wrote the three men's original partnership agreement,[3] and wrote the Apple I manual.[2][4]
Wayne received a 10% stake in Apple but relinquished his stock for US$800 less than two weeks later, on April 12, 1976.[4][5] Legally, all members of a partnership are personally responsible for any debts incurred by any partner; unlike Jobs and Wozniak, then 21 and 25, Wayne had personal assets that potential creditors could seize.[4][6] The failure of a slot machine company that he had started five years earlier also contributed to his decision to exit the partnership.[2]
Later that year, venture capitalist Arthur Rock and Mike Markkula helped develop a business plan and convert the partnership to a corporation. Wayne received another check, for $1,500, for his agreement to forfeit any claims against the new company.[2] In its first year of operations (1976), Apple's sales reached US$174,000. In 1977 sales rose to US$2.7 million, in 1978 to US$7.8 million, and in 1980 to US$117 million. By 1982 Apple had a billion dollars in annual sales. By September 2012, Apple became the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalization, with an estimated value of US$626 billion. Had he kept his 10% stock it would have been worth over $35 billion in August 2011.[7]
Wayne has stated that he does not regret selling the stock as he made the "best decision with the information available to me at the time".[8] Wayne also stated that he felt the Apple enterprise "would be successful, but at the same time there would be significant bumps along the way and I couldn't risk it. I had already had a rather unfortunate business experience before. I was getting too old and those two were whirlwinds. It was like having a tiger by the tail and I couldn't keep up with these guys."[3]
After leaving Apple, Wayne resisted Jobs' attempts to get him to return, remaining at Atari until 1978, when he joined Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and later an electronics company in Salinas, California.[8]
Wayne, now retired and living a quiet lifestyle in a Pahrump, Nevada, mobile home park[9] selling stamps and rare coins in Pahrump, had never owned an Apple product until 2011, when he was given an iPad 2 by Aral Balkan at the Update Conference in Brighton, United Kingdom.[2][10][11]
Wayne also ran a stamp shop in Milpitas, California for a short time in the late 1970s, Wayne's Philatelics on Dempsey Road. After a number of break-ins, he moved his stamp operations to Nevada. The logo for the business was a wood-cut style design, with a man sitting under an apple tree, with the "Wayne's Philatelics" name written in a flowing ribbon curved around the tree. This was the original logo he designed for Apple Computer.
He holds a dozen patents. [12]
Wayne published a memoir titled, Adventures of an Apple Founder, in July 2011. Plans for initial exclusivity on the Apple iBookstore did not pan out.[13][14]
Wayne has also written a socio-economic treatise titled Insolence of Office, released on October 1, 2011 which he describes as:[13]
...the product of decades of research and observation into the evolution of human governance, and the foundations of the American Constitutional Republic. Through this analysis the reader is introduced to a complete, yet simplified understanding of the architecture of our Constitution, its foundations, principles, and the essential meaning of its structure all in the context of modern living.
Wayne appeared in the documentary Welcome to Macintosh where he describes some of his experiences with Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Apple Computer.[15][16]
Personal life[edit]
According to Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, Wayne came out as gay to Jobs shortly after February 1974, while both men were employees at Atari.[17] Jobs later told Isaacson that "It was my first encounter with someone who I knew was gay." Wayne recalled that "Nobody at Atari knew, and I could count on my toes and fingers the number of people I told in my whole life. But I guess it just felt right to tell him, that he would understand, and it didn't have any effect on our relationship."
In an interview with NextShark,[18] Wayne described Steve Jobs' personality as colder than an ice cube. He recounted the times Jobs was ruthless, including at one point asking him to convince his friend to sell his company for Apple's benefit.

Regional West Medical Center4021 Avenue BScottsbluff, Nebraska 69361(308) 630-2477(888) 522-7962(888-LAB-RWMC) Hours of operation: Monday through Wednesday and Friday 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.Thursday 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Western Nebraska Blood Center, a hospital based donor center licensed by the FDA, draws approximately 3,000 units of blood per year and has just over 1,000 active local volunteer donors. The blood drawn at the blood center is used to supply blood to Regional West Medical Center and other hospitals throughout the panhandle of Nebraska.
In addition to drawing volunteer donor blood, the blood center collects autologous blood, which is for people who choose to use their own blood supply during a planned surgery.
In order to save lives , blood must be on the shelf, ready for transfusion. Sixty percent of the U.S. population is eligible to give blood , yet only five percent of those eligible actually do. This is why the staff at West Nebraska Blood Center works actively to recruit and retain repeat blood donors in the community.
Donating blood is a simple, safe and easy process. To donate, you must be healthy, between the ages of 17 and 85 and meet a few other basic requirements. Your safety and the safety of those who receive your blood is always a priority.
Becoming a new donor is both important and appreciated. But equally important, is becoming a regular, repeat donor. A healthy donor can donate blood every 56 days.
For more information or to set up an appointment call (308) 630-2477.

Trayvon Martin's Death Takes Toll on Family
Sybrina Fulton knows what she will be doing tomorrow. It is the same thing she did yesterday. And the same thing she will do today. "I cry every day," she said Sunday on TV One's Washington Watch with Roland Martin. "I just don't understand. My son's gone and this guy has never been arrested." Her son, Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year old high school junior with no record of trouble, was killed in Sanford, Fla. on Feb. 26 by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain.
President Obama Expresses 'Love' for Black Press
WASHINGTON (NNPA) – President Barack Obama expressed admiration for the balanced picture African-American newspapers present of the Black community each week, saying such portrayal not only helps Blacks but Americans of all races and ethnicities. "One of the things that I always love about African-American publications is that it's not just gloom and doom," the president told members of National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) last Thursday at a private gathering at the White House.
Foster Care, Uncertain Futures Loom For Thousands of Immigrant Children
WASHINGTON—More than 5,000 children of immigrants are languishing in state foster care nationwide because their parents were living in the United States illegally and were detained or deported by federal immigration authorities. These children can spend years in foster homes, and some are put up for adoption after termination of their parents' custody rights. With neither state nor federal officials addressing the problem, thousands more are poised to enter the child welfare system every year.
Blaming the Victims in Their Own Voices: Phi Delta Kappan Does Disservice to Blacks
WASHINGTON—Tracey and Abby Sparrow, one a teacher and the other a nonprofit's vice president, both white, recently took to the pages of Phi Delta Kappan, a magazine for educators, to explain what stands between black males and academic success. The writers' methodology is questionable. They selected 10 black young men and boys as their storytelling devices. The end product is powerful, with bursts of compelling, almost tabloidesque narrative, accompanied by riveting photographic portraits. But the probable impact is devastating.
America's Families Carry Heavy Housing Burdens, Says New Report
Despite continued reductions in home prices and mortgage interest rates, housing affordability remains a growing problem for many Americans. That was the key finding in a new study, Housing Landscape 2012, from the Center for Housing Policy. After analyzing Census data on housing costs and incomes the organization found that both homeowners and renters are struggling to pay for housing. Since 2008, affordability has eroded for working households in 24 states. Moreover, nearly one in four working households in the country spent more than half of their total income on housing.

Our battle of the bulge has spanned centuries with numerous diets, supplements, shapewear and exercises. The ancient Egyptians induced vomiting at least three times a month to stay slim; the ancient Chinese have used supplements to aid in weight loss; Renaissance-age women relied on corsets made with whale bones to keep a flat stomach. As our fashions and tastes changed throughout history, our obsessions with our hips, thighs, stomachs and arms have evolved, as well. Now, in the 21st century, our weight loss battles have evolved into a public health epidemic. It has expanded from a mostly cosmetic obsession into a question of life and death, and we're losing.
It is no question that obesity is rampant in the United States. More than one-third of American adults are obese, and this number is even higher among African-Americans and Latinos. Those numbers, like our waistlines, are growing and growing. That's why I'm dedicating this week to losing weight and melting fat for good. During our Fat Fighting Solutions Week, I will show you, America, how to beat the bulge and not only boost your confidence but also change your health for the better.
On Monday, I will show you three new discoveries that will burn your fat faster without even moving! You will learn simple, easy steps to melt fat with instant results!
On Tuesday, I'll show you my flat belly plan, which will blast away your belly flat and help you win the battle of your belly bulge. No need for corsets or shapewear anymore!
On Wednesday, learn more about the controversial HCG shot that can not only shed the pounds, but keep it off for good! You'll meet women like you who say this shot has worked for them and the doctor who's convinced that it works.
On Thursday, rev up your metabolism slump! Learn top secrets from the nutritionist who knows why you're not losing weight. It's not your fault! Learn why, and find out her three-phase plan to boost your metabolism and jumpstart your weight loss.
On Friday, I'll show you the best weight loss tricks for your body type. Everyone is different, and you can find the best tips and tricks for you -- no diets required! Plus, Paula Deen's son revamps your favorite Southern recipes with all the flavor but for half the fat and calories.
This fat fighting week is very important, America. This battle is vital for your health. In the operating room, I've seen thick layers of fat encase the heart, line the arteries and practically suffocate the internal organs. Obesity increases your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain types of cancer, and we're currently spending around $147 billion a year on medical costs associated with obesity. We're losing a centuries-old battle, and Fat Fighting Solutions Week will give you an advantage our ancestors didn't have.
You'll learn that simply eating less fat isn't the solution. Losing your bulge requires transforming not only your diet but also your lifestyle. You'll have to look at not only how much fat you're eating, but also how much sugars, grains and protein you eat as well. You'll have to assess how your hormones are affecting your metabolism; and above-all, you'll have to find ways to fit weight loss into your busy schedule. I've done all the work for you. All you'll have to do is tune in and learn from our array of experts who are here to help people like you.
Weight loss is a personal, challenging, never-ending journey. Stick with me, and we'll get through it together.

Hhgregg Management Discusses Q1 2013 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
What we are disappointed in our results, we are as committed as ever to returning the business to positive comparable store sales.
The video industry remains challenged, with industry ASPs continuing to fall. As we continue to balance traffic growth and profitability in our Video business, we made progress in slowing the decline in gross margins, but at the expense of top line and market share.
While we believe that manufacturers attempts to slow the ASP declines and add profitability back to the category through universal pricing policies and better enforcement among advertised pricing will help profitability in future periods. The broader effect of weak industry demands is expected to continue the way on the category for some time.
In the appliance category, we remain very pleased with the results of our initiatives. We are continuing to gain market share and are becoming the appliance retailer of choice in our markets.Our growth in the category remains robust, and as likely that appliance will grow to be our largest product category this fiscal year. We are also pleased with the stability of gross margins in this category, and believe the appliance business is an attractive business that will continue to drive our business over time. While the computing and mobile phone industry have negatively impacted as consumers defer purchases until the upcoming product launches by Microsoft and Apple, we were still able to generate positive comparable store sales in this product category. We have fully rolled out our new IT product display and believe that they will help us build momentum in the back half of this year as new products are rolled out. We remain committed to our core value of competing on price and differentiating ourselves through service. While we define big-box consumer products today as appliances and large-screen television, we continue to test new products that set this definition.

"… his music has a subtle grace and power all of its own. Though his technical prowess is also bewildering, Buttery immerses himself entirely into the soul of his guitar, coaxing sonic shapes and forms of such startling originality that his instrument acts as a kind of lightning conductor for the sound of another realm."
- Mail & Guardian
"I am moved by Guy Buttery's musical language and journey: this musician from South Africa is painting a framework, transforming his roots and the richness of his mixed culture into an inspired language that has become very personal and yet universal. This is touching, refreshing and amazing to witness."
- Pierre Bensusan
"Expect to experience some of the most innovative and unique dexterity in the manipulation of an age-old musical apparatus that you'll hardly recognise the sounds that emanate as coming from a simple guitar."
- One Small Seed Network
"Buttery's avant-garde world music is exceptionally beautiful - from composition to technique to atmospherics. "Fox Hill Lane" is one of the most adventurous acoustic recordings in recent memory."
- Guitar Player Magazine
- Rolling Stone Magazine
Guy Buttery in partnership with Casimi Guitars
Multiple award winning guitarist Guy Buttery, is pleased to announce a brand new partnership with Casimi Guitars. After 12 months researching, sketching and shaping a handcrafted tailor made instrument, Casimi delivered a guitar built exclusively for the musician. Using Old World techniques, the workshop based in Cape Town worked on a very specific instrument to fulfil the needs of the renowned South African fingerstyle guitarist.
GUY BUTTERY WINS HIS 2nd SOUTH AFRICAN MUSIC AWARD
Durban based guitarist, Guy Buttery collected yet another National Award last month receiving a SAMA (South African Music Award) in the "Best Instrumental" category for his most recent live recording "Live in KwaZulu". This will be his second award and 7th nomination at the annual event. The SAMA's were held at Sun City in the Pilanesberg at the end of last month and were broadcast to an audience of 4 million viewers.

Wholesale Changes at Flaunt Magazine
There's a new tandem installed at the top of Flaunt magazine, ready to take the handsome LA-based publication to greater heights. Five-year company vet Matthew Bedard, fresh from setting up the publication's Paris division, is now editorial director, while president Erica Cornwall joined the company in July. Together, they are overseeing not just editorial but also advertising, integrated media, events and special collaborations.
"I began my career working for Danielle Steel, had positions at Universal Pictures Marketing and Full Picture, then was vp at Starworks Group," Cornwall tells FishbowlLA. "Last October, I founded a company called Revel Collective and remain responsible for branding, curation, producing and development for clients like The Art of Elysium and Alain Mikli. I also will remain the entertainment editor for Wonderland, Man About Town and Rollercoaster magazines."
A few weeks ago, the position of Flaunt executive editor was dissolved, with title holder Maxwell Williams leaving the magazine as well. In his place, Cornwall and Bedard are looking to hire a pair of editors based separately in LA and New York. (Flaunt co-founders Luis Barajas and Jim Turner remain on board as, respectively, editor-in-chief and creative director.)
"We're taking our time to make sure the candidates are the right fit," she explains. "We want people who are fully engrossed in the fine art, music, fashion, beauty and philanthropic worlds nationally and internationally."

Returning isn't as easy as Anna had hoped, because it forces her to face the consequences of her own irresponsible behavior that led her to leave in the first place, and the pain she caused those she left behind. True redemption, she finds, is not a simple matter of pretend humility, but a deep change of the heart that means she will never be the same again. She learns, too, that redemption comes with a renewed love and appreciation for all the people in her life, the tightly bonded community that will always nuture and protect her.

It's definitely not a simple life being the manager of Caernarfon Foodbank. Here's an account of my day last Friday when a major collection at Tesco coincided with our distribution day. It was my first time in charge of a collection and I was terrified!
7:00 AM Get up after a restless night worrying if today's major food collection at Tesco in Bangor and Caernarfon will go smoothly. Would the volunteers turn up? Would people donate anything?
8:15 AM Frantic phone call from Caernarfon to say they have no leaflets in English. At our request, Tesco produced Welsh language leaflets but apparently there were none in English! I told them to use the supply of last year's leaflets I had left them in case of emergency.
8:30 AM Arrive at Tesco Bangor to set up for the food collection organised by the Trussell Trust at all major branches of Tescos. Staff were ready for us and we were quickly set up. First job was to sort out out the leaflets to be handed to customers showing the items we would like them to buy and donate. To my horror, when I opened the boxes, we also appeared to have only Welsh language leaflets. On digging through the boxes we found about 10% were in English so we were able to start the collection.
9:30 AM Left Bangor for Caernarfon to discover on arrival that almost none of the promised promotional material had been located. Fortunately, an extensive search by a wonderful Manager produced everything we needed other than English leaflets! All our volunteers had shown up and we were doing well.
10.00 AM A couple of kind elderly people had cleared their cupboards at home and donated two carrier bags of food, the oldest item was 'Best before December 2001′ and the most recent item had expired over a year ago. Sigh.
11.30 AM I left Caernarfon Tesco to open the Foodbank's distribution centre in Caernarfon which operates every Tuesday and Friday between noon and 2 PM. We describe ourselves as the world's only Welsh speaking Foodbank, as it is unusual to hear English spoken. As a Welsh learner, my language skills are stretched to the limit, particularly when clients speak in the local dialect of Cofi which I find very difficult!
12.00 PM So started one of our busiest days ever at the Foodbank as we dealt with clients from all over North West Wales. Most had benefits delays or had been sanctioned by the JobCentre. Some were simply people who were victims of the Bedroom Tax who, with no smaller properties available in the area, suddenly had to find extra money for the tax.
There were some heart-rending stories. One woman made sure her child was fed but could not afford to buy food for herself because she had to use any available cash to travel by train and bus to Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool (90 miles away) to visit her other child who had been ill for some time. We helped a woman who was now living at a women's refuge where she had fled following domestic abuse. Some of the stories were encouraging. We were able to give a food parcel to a man who had finally found work and had been rehoused with his wife and daughter and was making a new start.
We fed a total of 42 people in the two-hour period.
2:30 PM Picked up my wife and travelled to Bangor for the last two hours of our collection. We had run out of the English leaflets supplied and also of the ones from last year, but Tesco staff were magnificent and photocopied some of the precious English leaflets we kept safely.
We were overwhelmed by the generosity of the Welsh people some of whom donated whole carrier bags full of food to us, rather than a single tin or a jar of pasta sauce. Very occasionally, we encountered a belligerent person who told us that anyone on benefits was a scrounger and didn't deserve to be fed. I simply told them about a couple of our recipients that day, like the woman who was a victim of domestic abuse and we did see some people change their opinion.
4:00 PM I joined my wife marking up the donated jars, tins and packets with their expiry date on the top in black permanent marker so we can easily make sure our stock is rotated efficiently in the store. The donations are sorted into large boxes which are then weighed and taken away to go into stock. Tesco kindly give us 30% top up of the donations which can be used to buy items which we need.
5:00 PM We finally finished collecting and handed over to Tesco staff for the final three hours. My wife and I took the opportunity to do some personal shopping and she kept sending me off to find things in the store and I continually returned sheepishly having forgotten what I left for because I was so tired!
7:00 PM Finally arrived home exhausted, exhilarated and in dire need of a gin and tonic. The only problem was that the second day of the collection was only 14 hours away. Still, that's another day. Huge thanks to Tesco staff who were wonderfully helpful in every way and, of course, to our dedicated volunteers.
