Your list is a good one, and i'd add here, that with the right
management of a CV format data stream, it might also prove useful
across a cluster of boxes, for those that drive headless rigs. I've
added this in direct relation to a Jack-session project scenario, and
has already been discussed some time ago, Fons did remark that a CV
type port in the jack structure would be useful, and somewhat
predictably i guess, given my enthusiasm for this, i agree with him.
I'm not sure what the code for CV would be like to implement, but
given the 1:1 nature of the data stream, and previous conversations
with devs about CV, it seems to be a fairly simple addition, codewise.
Maybe some thing that can be enthused about across the linux audio

Cancer Romance
(22nd June to 22nd July)
Cancer Romance
| Element: Water
Quality: Cardinal; Feminine; Negative
Ruling Planet: Moon
Declaration: 'I feel'
Lessons to give in love: Tenderness, devotion and sensitivity. Affectionate and caring.
Lessons to learn in love: Ability to let loose and let go and power to express openly.
Personality: The Cancer native yearns for change, and yet is afraid of it. The stage of life that Cancer represents is perhaps the trickiest stage of human life. No wonder, Cancer natives deal with sufficient emotions, many of which are new to them, yet very real, very deep. With keen intuition, they observe others, and sharpen their instinct. The troubled Cancer wavers and becomes confused, sometimes too clingy; at other times, absolutely carefree. The wavering moods of the Cancer natives wax and wane with their ruler Moon, making them prone to frequent swings and spells of depression and longing for the past. In a negative manifestation, Cancer natives may become too hung up, refusing to accept their flaws, while being cowardly, stingy, irritable and locked up. Nonetheless, you can get Your Astrology Profile report, basis your Birth Chart, prepared by our expert astrologers, to learn everything about your personality.
Love for the Cancer is:
an emotional security cover, a need that is all-pervading. Love is 'home' to a Cancer! The desire to be loved gives rise to a deep sentimentality in the Cancer. Experiences of the world, the feelings of loss on love not being requited makes them emotional wrecks, and they become inconsolably depressed and withdraw into their shells. It is very difficult for them to let go and move on. Never take chances when it comes to pleasing a Cancer lover. Besides, you can avail a 100% personalised Ask A Love Question service, which is based on your Natal Chart, to get instant remedies for your love life.
When in Love: The Crabs love with all their senses, all their might – completely and irrevocably. Cancer makes for a gentle, sensitive, caring and loving mate, who is sensible and cautious, and loves to create a secure home and hearth. But then, they also need an equal amount, if not more, back from their partner. Do you wish to know how powerful is your romance? Then just go for Romance Potential Reading, based on your Natal Chart. Prone to umpteen mood swings at all stages of his life, the Crab may become reclusive from chatty mode in one moment. On the contrary, a generous person may turn into a stingy person. Ideally, the life-partner of a Cancer should be ready to go that extra mile and help the secretive Cancer to open up. Crabs can't handle hurts and insults – their silent anger is well known. Moreover, to learn about the romantic side of your personality, you may get Your Romantic Personality report, which is based on your Natal Chart. You might also be interested to read about Cancer Relationship.

You try asking in reddit? I've seen some folks get info/answers from reds or fellow gamers via reddit threads rather than a support thread where wrenchmen are the only ones who can/will help or try to help.
I did but it got pretty much no attention.
Bumping again.
Wow i cant believe they banned you for that, that is so freaking stupid, Then again it is riot....
It's true that the Summoner's Code is very vague and open-ended but it entails all of the sort of common sense things that people should be doing in a game where you are always interacting with other players.
In your case, it looks like you might have been automatically banned by a chat bot for using ALL CAPS in a public chat room, which isn't directly stated in the rules anywhere, but has always been part of internet etiquette for as long as I've been using it. Using ALL CAPS is unsightly, annoying, obnoxious, and denotes shouting/loud behavior. People who use all caps constantly are usually doing so to get the attention of someone and doing it constantly in chat probably sets off a red flag to the chat bots that this person is being rude, annoying, or spamming.
Riot usually doesn't comment on bans as a matter of privacy, nor do they lift them in any circumstance. I wouldn't expect a member of Riot support for an apology, but keep in mind that talking in all caps is very rude to most people and try not to do it in the future.

Bay Climate Action Plan Petition
The Bay Area emits 100 million tons of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) per year. Scientists tell us that to avoid catastrophic warming we must cut GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 (down to 17.6 million tons in the Bay Area). California aims to reduce GHGs to 1990 levels by 2020. It's a start, but not nearly enough. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has the power to regulate over 50% of all the GHG emissions in the Bay Area. The Air District needs to lead the way to bring those emissions down to safe, sustainable levels. If the progressive, environmentally aware Bay Area can't lead the way, who can?
Petition1,801 signatures
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District's Mission is "to protect and improve public health, air quality and the global climate."
We petition the Air District to use its authority to:
- Declare that catastrophic climate disruption is an escalating emergency
- Act on its mission by adopting aggressive programs by July 2014 to reduce Bay Area greenhouse gas emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050*.
*This is the level that the National Research Council determined as a worldwide goal in order to keep global warming from exceeding 2 degrees Celsius.
Time to build coalitions as it is only way for mass movements to gain the attention of those in power!!! See you soon, Richard.

Patrick Dempsey On Good Morning Americaby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Prior to his driving the Pace Car at yesterday's Indianapolis 500, Good Morning America interviewed Patrick Dempsey to discuss his racing passion - as well as what's going on with his character on Grey's Anatomy!
Patrick may not have a clue what's to become of the troubled Derek and Meredith after the way Season 3 ended, but in listening to him, it's plain to see why this Dr. McDreamy is revered by fans on and off the set.
Here's the clip of Patrick on the show ...
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Grey's Anatomy
Hi, there!..55d50e88b2f92c5c0507580bd4a09e58
I don´t like his hair short but the good thing is it´ll grow back. when it dose Jill better leave it alone. well next time she cuts McDreamy´s hair it better only be a trim I knew most McDreamy fans wouldn´t like it short
why would jill want to do that seriously!and most importantly why did he let her? he is most famous for his hair.
Hi Sam123. Yeah McDreamy´s wife cut his hair short It looks nice but i think it´s too short i prefare it long. But he still looks seriously HOT. If you want to see it for yourself you can see it on youtube.
McDreamy cut his hair? WHAT????
Even on Sunday morning (race day) the local news people were talking about EP being here, but I never saw interviews or anything...I did see one picture of PD and a woman that looked like Jill, although there wasn't any publicity about Jill being here. So, who knows... maybe EP was here and kept it very quiet. Maybe Jill was here and kept it equally quiet. It was a great day for PD personally, a race car drivers' dream....so I hope all his friends & family were able to be here & support him. I just think it's soooo cool that he got the opportunity to do this. You can tell by the GMA video that he was totally digging it. Hopefully, he'll be a part of Indy racing for years to come...
in the comment section on the atricle about the dvd. There´s an amzon address were you can pre order if you like.
i think Mcsteamy looks more sexy with his side burns, but its all good his still Mcsteamy. I will give my left hand to get that season 3 dvd now cos i hate downloads they are not as good as the originals.
Hey Hafsa. I agree that he´s still McDreamy. I just prefared the long hair i think it suited him more. & if they brought back the McStubble as well that would be SO McSexy. i also agree if derek & lexie hook up will be SO dalm angry. what do you think of McSteamy without the berd. I seripusly can´t for the season 3 dvd to come out.
Hey Debs,i havent hear from u for quite a while. I saw the video too, but i dont think its that bad, come on his still mcdreamy no matter what, except of cos if he decide to have any thing to do with lexie grey!!

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Edgar Renteria belted a go-ahead grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning, as San Francisco scored seven unanswered runs to defeat Colorado, 9-5, and pull even with the Rockies in the NL wild card standings.
Renteria added an RBI double, while Eugenio Velez collected two hits and knocked in a run for the Giants, who swept the three-game series at AT&T Park and won for the fifth time in their last six games overall.
"Everyone knows that we can pitch. The question is if we can hit, so right now we're trying to put the two together," Renteria said. "In these three games, the fans played with us. They're always there, always cheering for us, and that's motivating for the team."
San Francisco starting pitcher Matt Cain earned his fourth straight no- decision after allowing four runs on eight hits over six innings. He also struck out eight and walked two. The come-from-behind victory made a winner out of Brandon Medders (3-1), who recorded the final two outs in the top of the seventh.
Troy Tulowitzki finished 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBI for the Rockies, who have lost five in a row, a season-high. Todd Helton and Ian Stewart both had three hits, with Helton blasting a solo home run.
"We want to make this thing interesting," Tulowitzki said. "If we're fortunate enough to make the playoffs , it'll mean we played meaningful games the last month like we did in '07. I think that prepares you better for the playoffs. It's going to come down to the end, and I want it that way."
Jason Hammel gave up two runs on four hits in his five-plus inning start.
Both the Giants and Rockies are six games back of Los Angeles in the NL West.
Down 5-2, the Giants battled back in the home half of the seventh. Franklin Morales walked Juan Uribe, and Aaron Rowand singled up the middle. After Eli Whiteside went down swinging, Morales hit Fred Lewis with a pitch to load the bases.
Velez struck out, and Morales was relieved by Rafael Betancourt (0-1). Renteria then deposited Betancourt's second pitch over the left-field wall for his eighth career grand slam and a 6-5 Giants lead.
Stewart reached on a broken-bat double down the left-field line to start the top of the eighth for Colorado. A Yorvit Torrealba base hit put runners on the corners with one out. Jeremy Affeldt then retired pinch-hitter Garrett Atkins on strikes, and the exuberant lefty pumped his fist after Carlos Gonzalez went down swinging.
San Francisco added some insurance in the bottom of the inning. Rockies reliever Juan Rincon failed to retire any of the four batters he faced, surrendering a two-run single to pinch-hitter Ryan Rohlinger.
Joe Beimel was beckoned from the bullpen, and Velez's RBI ground-rule double stretched the advantage to 9-5, which held as the final score.
Gonzalez walked to begin the game, stole second and later scored on a Tulowitzki double.
Nate Schierholtz's sacrifice fly plated Velez with the tying run in the fourth, but Colorado countered in the next frame when Helton and Tulowitzki clubbed back-to-back home runs.
Stewart led off the sixth with a triple and trotted home on a Clint Barmes sac fly, increasing the Rockies' lead to 4-1.
San Francisco looked to rally in the bottom of the sixth. Lewis had a pinch- hit double, Velez walked and Renteria doubled off the left-field wall to cut the deficit to two and chase Hammel from the mound.
Morales came on and fanned the next two batters and got Ryan Garko to ground out softly to end the threat.
Tulowitzki singled home Ryan Spilborghs in the top of the seventh to give Colorado a three-run cushion.

|North Carolina State University Cloud Computing Services
The Virtual Computing Laboratory (VCL) at North Carolina State University has been a pioneer in delivering secure on-demand computing services for education institutions. VCL was using cloud computing before the term came into popular use: It has been doing research on virtual computing since 2003 and began offering cloud services in 2004.
The VCL academic cloud is based on open-source technology and offers infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, and software-as-a-service, including support of high-performance computing services. The advantages of VCL's cloud computing approach include consolidation of computing resources and technical support services, delivery of applications that would be difficult to install on student computers, and the extension of computing services to education institutions that otherwise would have only limited technology infrastructures.
As of 2009 VCL was serving more than 30,000 faculty and staff. A typical user accesses VCL through a web interface, going through a set of authentication and authorization steps and then choosing the desired kind of computing environment and time period from a set of pull-down menus.
VCL can dynamically move resources from one application to another, producing increased efficiency and lower costs. During semester breaks, for example, when most students are not using computing resources, the system assigns those resources to researchers with heavy computing requirements for activities such as running complex models and simulations.
VCL now offers services on a pilot basis to seven other North Carolina public universities, the North Carolina Community College System, and several out-of-state universities including three in India. Possible extension of these academic cloud services to K-12 schools are being planned.

Jan. 26 (Bloomberg) -- 3M Co. said its board is considering the "best way forward" as investors press for a decision on whether Chief Executive Officer George Buckley may remain in the role beyond his 65th birthday.
Buckley, who was hired in 2005, has a renewing contract that expires when he turns 65, which will occur on Feb. 23.
"They are trying to figure out what is the best way forward," Buckley said on an earnings call today with analysts and investors. "I don't think there's much else I can say about it because, in a sense, I'm being informed, not the informer."

Volcano Boarding Is Just Slightly Insane
Leon, Nicaragua
Racing down an active volcano at 30 mph on a little piece of wood is really fun! But volcano boarding can also be a bit dangerous, as I was about to find out.
Crashing into sharp volcanic rocks at that speed will leave a mark (or ten).
Cerro Negro (Black Hill) is an active volcano outside of Leon, Nicaragua. It's a relatively new one at only 161 years old. Because the cone is primarily made up of small penny-sized grains of volcanic rock, it's possible to ride or surf down the steep slope on a wooden sled.
Hiking The Volcano
To start this adventure, we strapped boards to our backs and began to ascend the 2388 ft. (728 m) black mountain of loose rock. The hike up lasts about 45 minuets.
The day was extremely windy which made for a refreshing hike without too much sweating on this black natural oven. But when we approached the top the wind became TOO strong!
Our boards began acting like sails, the wind pushing us all over the place like rag-dolls. The whole group had to hit the deck to avoid getting swept off the top all together.
I've never felt so much wind before!
After several minutes hugging the ground, the gusts finally died down and we were able to continue to the "drop zone".
Volcano Boarding For Dummies
There are two different ways to go volcano boarding. You can stand up like on a snowboard, or you can sit down like on a sled.
Standing up may look cooler for photos, but in reality it actually sucks.
You can't make turns like on a snowboard and you move slower than if you ride it like a sled.
At one point I tried to stand up on the board for a bit, but it was not nearly as fun. When sitting down, your center of gravity is lower and concentrated on the back of the board, creating less friction with the ground and resulting in more speed.
Volcanic rocks are not as slippery as snowflakes, there's a lot more friction to deal with.
Wooden Sled Construction
The volcano boards have a rope in front for your hands as you lean back for maximum speed. You can't really control your direction with the rope though, it's only for stability. The bottom of the wooden sled is covered with a thin layer of metal.
There is also a piece of formica plastic glued to the metal which reduces even more friction and gives you extra speed. This plastic needs to be replaced every day, as it burns right off after 1 or 2 runs.
Everyone is given a one-piece suit for crash protection. You also get protective googles and leather work gloves for the same purpose.
While the volcanic stones are very lightweight and easy to break apart, they are also very sharp. They can tear holes in clothing or skin pretty easily without the protective gear.
The Need for Speed!
The slope you ride down is much steeper and longer than you first imagine. In fact it's quite intimidating.
Of course it doesn't need to be that scary, because you're always able to put your feet down and control your speed at any time.
But I was on a mission to go as fast as humanly possible!
So after mentally preparing myself, I sat on my board, grabbed the rope, leaned way back, and off I went!
Starting slowly but quickly building speed as the slope reached a steep 41 degrees. Volcanic pebbles were kicked up into my face. I didn't feel any pain though, due to the adrenaline rush of speeding down the side of a volcano!
The world became a blur as my volcano sled raced down the mountainside.
But then I lost control…
The volcano board started to turn sideways on me, and to compensate I finally put a foot down. Big mistake! I was going too fast at that point, and when my foot hit the ground I launched forward and sideways, slamming into the rocks face-first.
The Crash
Volcanic rock is not as forgiving as snow or sand. I found this out the hard way. When I finally stopped rolling down the slope, I realized my bald head felt hot & wet. Was that blood running down my scalp?
I checked to make sure all my parts were still working, located my board, and continued racing down the mountain. I was fine, just a bit more dirty and bloody then when I'd started this crazy adventure.
At the bottom we walked back to the truck and ate Volcano Burritos that had been freshly cooked inside the volcano itself! A hole had been dug at the summit, and a metal box containing the food was buried there. The heat from the volcano had cooked the burritos.
Now it was time to hike back up and do it all over again. ★

Useful Notes: Even though I crashed, you don't have to. It's easy to keep your feet down to control your speed for the whole descent. If you do decide to go fast, dragging your hand is a better way to slow down in a controlled fashion… Lean back as far as you can if you want speed!

is there a possiblity of hitting an large object enough to seriously injury you at the end of the road?
Matthew KarstenSeptember 1, 2014
No, the area at the bottom is huge & wide open. There's nothing to run into. Except maybe other people.
RichJuly 25, 2014
I'll be there in a few weeks and while I'm a bit intimidated by the 41 degree slope, I can't wait!!!
Matthew KarstenAugust 23, 2014
Yup, much steeper than I was expecting. Have fun, and try not to crash…
DaveJanuary 30, 2014
I'm going this morning, but wish I hadn't seen your video and read about the girl in the Comments below who broke her ankle! I still can't figure out how everyone who brings a backpack and nice cameras gets them down if they go on the sleighs. Do the guides carry that stuff back for you?
Matthew KarstenJanuary 30, 2014
It's really not that bad if you control yourself, which is easy to do with your feet. At least up until a point. But if you go gangbusters, it can get a bit wild.
Some people prefer to run down. Maybe you could get one of them to bring your stuff? But really, everyone I was with just risked it. I burned a hole in my backpack when I leaned back. Make sure to bring extra padding (towel, shirts, etc.) to wrap a camera in. Can't wait to see the photos or video!
DaveJanuary 30, 2014
I ended up packing light (no backpack), and whatever we had with us at the top (empty water bottle), we just put in the bags we used to carry our suits up, and hung it around our neck. I kept my iPhone in a Lifeproof case, and kept that in my pocket. Others with backpacks for their cameras had to position them between their legs.
The fastest guy from our group hit around 75km/h, then wiped out hard and lost his glasses. Amazingly, he ran back up and found them. The fastest girls were on the 2-person sled, and also went 75, and wiped out hard too.
Watching them tumble, I wondered if our guide had any medical training. I know a lot of people have broken bones over the years (like your reader who broke her ankle). I didn't mind playing it safe, it was still a lot of fun.
And yes, you can do a walking tour and skip the whole boarding thing. I saw a group running down the volcano before we started our hike up it.
Morad EcharkaouiJanuary 26, 2014
Sorry dude… I have to admit I laughed my ass off when you screamed "holy shit !". What a ride ! Keep that strong spine.

No worries Morad. I'm sure you weren't the only one!
Sam DMay 6, 2013
Love it! pity its not like snowboarding although I am still pretty hopeless at that! Its fun though
DanielMay 5, 2013
Matt, I think you have bigger huevos than I ! We did the hike up Cerro Negro 5 years ago but when we got to the top, the downward slope seemed so steep that it freaked us out. We gingerly walked down !
Matthew KarstenMay 5, 2013
I completely understand Daniel. That slope is much longer and steeper than I thought it would be…
But I was on a mission. :)

This has been on my bucket list for a long while. Now I have added a side note of bring a helmet and don't stand up.
Matthew KarstenFebruary 1, 2013
haha. Yes! Remember to lean back as far as you possibly can too. That's important for speed. :D
James AbroadNovember 12, 2012
Looks like you were speeding pretty fast before that crash! No helmets or safety pads? Excellent job with all the angles and video editing too.
Jennifer BeaganMarch 6, 2012
Yep, from that killer wipeout I had! I bought some crutches and continued on the rest of my trip. When I finally got home, I had numerous x-rays & an MRI then got sent to a specialist who tells me I fractured the cartilidge inside my ankle bone and tore a couple tendons. Its quite painful! So much fun but something like this would happen to me haha. I wish you would've caught my fall on tape! I would love to see it from a spectator's view!
Jennifer BeaganMarch 1, 2012
I'm still being haunted by Cerro Negro! Matthew, remember the girl who had to hop around on one foot with the banged up leg/ ankle staying at the Tortuga hostel with you?? Thats me! haha. Back home, waiting on surgery still! Hope your travels went well! :)
Matthew KarstenMarch 1, 2012
Hi Jennifer! Surgery from your fall there??? Crazy! What's the diagnosis?
HilaryFebruary 23, 2012
Looks like you had such a great time! I didn't pick up nearly as much speed as you did but I'd happily do it again!
Thanks for sharing!
MikeOctober 18, 2011
Yes, I will go sliding down a hill side of sharp volcanic rock. Yes, I will bleed. yes, I will love my scars…like i'm sure you do!! Must've been a great ride!
Matthew KarstenOctober 19, 2011
It was! The scars are worth it. You'll love it. :D
KyanJuly 19, 2011
I couldn't stop myself from laughing when I read the discretion about the lost control part. I could imagine a person slamming a rock. Very amazing.
JuliaApril 19, 2011
That looks seriously awesome! Despite the battle wounds, I would still be tempted to have a go (and maybe be a bit wimpy and go a bit slower than you!) :)
Matthew KarstenApril 19, 2011
Scars are cool. At least that's what I've been told.
Sofia - As We TravelMarch 11, 2011
I love sledding, I couldn't get enough of it in Bergün, but I've never tried it on rocks, let alone on a volcano!
Matthew KarstenMarch 12, 2011
My up-close & personal experience: rocks are hard. ;)
StephanieMarch 10, 2011
Great description of the experience. I cannot wait for the video!
Matthew KarstenMarch 11, 2011
Coming soon!
The CurmudgeonMarch 9, 2011
A hike of 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. You've never hiked with the "Busy Bees" have you?
You're quite lucky. Your scars are nothing compared to mine. I endured mental scarring. That's worse. They are only healed by homemade pies, which I haven't seen yet. I hope you never have to encounter those two. You'd better send a machete home for me.
GabeMarch 7, 2011
So awesome man!!! hahahaha. Lovin' it!

time than the potential value of recovered solvent. For more information about solvent recycling, see Chapter 5, section 5.D.3.2 Before embarking on any pollution prevention program, it is worthwhile to review the options thoroughly with local EHS program managers and to review other organizations' programs to become fully aware of the relative merits of those options.
Perhaps the most significant impediment to comprehensive waste reduction in laboratories is the element of scale. Techniques that are practical and cost-effective on a 55-gal or tank-car quantity of material may be highly unrealistic when applied to a 50-g (or milligram) quantity, or vice versa. Evaluating the costs of both equipment and time becomes especially important when dealing with very small quantities.
1.F.3 Changes in the Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Changes in the legal and regulatory requirements over the past several decades have greatly affected laboratory operations. Because of increased regulations, the collection and disposal of laboratory waste constitute major budget items in the operation of every chemical laboratory. The cost of accidents in terms of time and money spent on fines for regulatory violations and on litigation are significant. Of course, protection of students and research personnel from toxic materials is not only an economic necessity but an ethical obligation. Laboratory accidents have resulted in serious, debilitating injuries and death, and the personal impact of such events cannot be forgotten.
In 1990, OSHA issued the Laboratory Standard (29 CFR § 1910.1450), a performance-based rule that serves the community well. In line with some of the developments in laboratory practice, the committee recommends that OSHA review the standard in current context. In particular, the section on CHPs, 1910.1450(e), does not currently include emergency preparedness, emergency response, and consideration of physical hazards as well as chemical hazards. In addition, this book provides guidance that could be a basis for strengthening the employee information and training section, 1910.1450(f). Finally, the nonmandatory Appendix A of the Laboratory Standard was based on the original edition of Prudent Practices in the Laboratory, published in 1981 and currently out of print. The committee recommends that the appendix be updated to reflect the changes in the current edition in both content and reference.
The Laboratory Standard requires that every workplace conducting research or training where hazardous chemicals are used develop a CHP. This requirement has generated a greater awareness of safety issues at all educational science and technology departments and research institutions. Although the priority assigned to safety varies widely among personnel within academic departments and divisions, increasing pressure comes from several other directions in addition to the regulatory agencies and to the potential for accident litigation. In some cases, significant fines have been imposed on principal investigators who received citations for safety violations. These actions serve to increase the faculty's concern for laboratory safety. Boards of trustees or regents of educational institutions often include prominent industrial leaders who are aware of the increasing national concern with safety and environmental issues and are particularly sensitive to the possibility of institutional liability as a result of laboratory accidents. Academic and government laboratories can be the targets of expensive lawsuits. The trustees assist academic officers both by helping to develop an appropriate institutional safety system with an effective EHS office and by supporting departmental requests for modifications of facilities to comply with safety regulations.
Federal granting agencies recognize the importance of sound laboratory practices and active laboratory safety programs in academe. Some require documentation of the institution's safety program as part of the grant proposal. When negligent or cavalier treatment of laboratory safety regulations jeopardizes everybody's ability to obtain funding, a powerful incentive is created to improve laboratory safety.
1.F.4 Accessibility for Scientists with Disabilities
Over the years, chemical manufacturers have modernized their views of safety. Approaches to safety for all—including scientists with disabilities—have largely changed in laboratories as well. In the past, full mobility and full eyesight and hearing capabilities were considered necessary for safe laboratory operations. Now, encouraged legally by the adoption of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, leaders in laboratory design and management realize that a nimble mind is more difficult to come by than modified space or instrumentation.
As a result, assistive technologies now exist to circumvent almost any inaccessibility, and laboratories can be equipped to take advantage of them. Many of the modifications to laboratory space and fixtures have benefits for all. Consider, as a single example, the assistance of ramps and an automatic door opener to all lab personnel moving a large cart or carrying two heavy containers.
It is a logical extension of the culture of safety to include a culture of accessibility. For information about

BATON ROUGE, La (NBC33) - Inclement weather has caused flash flooding in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas.
The flooding is a mix of the torrential downpour the area received since the morning and the saturation caused by storms last weekend. The area has already received 2-3 inches of rainfall today alone.
There is a flash flood watch in effect for the entire NBC33 viewing area until Wednesday afternoon. Isolated areas may experience 4-6 inches, with rain amounts of 2-3 inches falling across southern Louisiana.
Stay tuned to NBC33 for weather updates as they occur.

Super monster
Note: This trick requires a link cable and a second game. Have a friend catch a level 1 monster with 0 exp. Use a link cable and have a battle. Submit the prize as the level 1 monster. Intentionally win the battle so your friend's monster will transfer to you. When the screen where his/her monster walks over to you appears, the game will misinterpret it for an egg with no experience at level 1. Hatch the egg to get a level 40 monster that can do 800 damage in a single strike. The monsters also transform into a monster from the slime family such as Wingslime and Treeslime. Do not breed it or give it seeds/nuts to raise its stats, or they will go down.

In a bright pink tank top, a black skirt, and three-inch heels, Sandra Villarreal Martinez walked confidently to the front of a small group of women, ages 38 to 55, sitting in plastic chairs on a cement patio. They are all HIV positive.
She offered them a big smile as beads of sweat accumulated on her forehead. "I'm here to talk to you about condoms," she said, holding a small package into the air. "How many of you have used one of these before?" she asked. Some women fanned themselves with their notebooks, gazing into the distance. Some looked to the others for consolation, visibly uncomfortable. Finally, María stuck a lonely hand into the air. "Great," said Sandra. "And do any of you know how to open a condom?"
The group was silent. From the back corner, the sole male attendee stood up. "I can show you how." The women giggled. "First off, no teeth and no scissors," he said, taking the condom out of Sandra's hand. "And remember to check the expiration date." He tore the package open and pulled the condom into the Chiapas sunshine.
It was 10 a.m. on a Tuesday in La Reforma, a small refinery town in the northeastern corner of Chiapas, the southernmost state in Mexico.
The workshop marked the first time that women living with HIV in La Reforma had ever met or spoke openly about their condition. Over the next hour, each of the five women in attendance told her story. Tears came easy as they described the moment they received their diagnosis, the children and grandchildren who brought meaning to their lives, and the fears that continued to haunt their thoughts. All the stories had one common thread: each of the women at the workshop got HIV from their long-term partners, most of them from their husbands.
The unfortunate reality is that for women living in rural Mexico, marital sex represents the single greatest risk for HIV infection. The state of Chiapas is no exception. Gender inequality is high and economic opportunities available to women in the state are low. Compounding this reality are the stigma and social norms that have prevented effective sexual education campaigns. For married women in Chiapas, abstinence is nearly impossible and condoms are difficult to introduce into relationships where the power balance is stacked against them. In short, men don't want to wear condoms and women, economically and culturally dependent on their husbands, can't afford to lose them. For each of the five women in the workshop, the cost was HIV.
"Machismo is deadly," said Adela Bonilla, 61, the director of Nuevos Códices Compatía A.C., an organization that works statewide to empower women living with the virus. As she talked, she handily swerved her car around large sections of the gravel road to La Reforma that had been washed away by recent rains. The town lies six hours to the northeast of San Cristóbal de las Casas, a colonial city in the central highlands, popular among tourists. Her right mirror dangled by a few strips of duct tape. To the left, tall limestone walls cast long shadows over the road that, to our right, quickly fell away into dark canyons. Over the next two days, together with Sandra, a local organizer, Adela would hold two HIV workshops in La Reforma and Pichucalco.
Adela shook her head as she drove. "The fact is, most women are extremely embarrassed about the fact that they are living with HIV," she said. "They have been rejected by society and live behind a smoke screen. But in the end, they did nothing wrong."
The state of Chiapas is the poorest in Mexico. It is home to a highly indigenous, dispersed, and rural population. In 2012, 75 percent of residents lived in poverty. The state also trails the nation in several indicators of public health. For every 100,000 residents, Chiapas has a mere 93 doctors and 45 hospital beds, the lowest rates in Mexico. The lack of medical infrastructure in the state has particularly affected women, leading to high rates of maternal death and the spread of infectious disease, such as HIV.
The first case of HIV in Mexico was recorded in the year 1983, two years after the United States recorded its first instance of the virus. In 2012, 0.3 percent of the total Mexican population was living with HIV as compared to 0.6 percent in the U.S. In Mexico, as in the U.S., the epidemic is concentrated among men, who represent 82 percent of the documented cases in the republic. Nationwide, 54 percent of all HIV cases were transmitted through homosexual or bisexual behavior. By comparison, 61 percent of all new HIV cases in the U.S. are among gay and bisexual men.
But in rural Chiapas, HIV has a different face. Last year it was estimated that 60 percent of all cases in the state were contracted through heterosexual activity. Nationwide, women represent 18 percent of HIV cases. In Chiapas, that number jumps to 27 percent.
"AIDS has completely changed the way we think about love, fidelity, and marriage," said Martha Figueroa Mier, director of the San Cristóbal Women's Collective. The collective has been operating for 24 years, primarily on cases of domestic abuse and rape. "Whatever problem women have," she said, "when they come to us our advice is a) file a police report, but only if you want to, and b) definitely take an HIV test."

hot 10 recipes 2013
Ginger-Lime Cauliflower
The Indian flavors of this dish combine cooling spices (fennel, coriander) with the heat of a jalapeño. Remove the seeds from the pepper if you like things a little less fiery.
Striped Bass with Lime Broth
Serving a perfectly cooked, crisp-skinned piece of fish in a seasoned lime broth lets you get a spoonful of bright flavor in every bite.
Buttermilk Cake with Sour Milk Jam and Gin-Poached Cherries
This is one of those sleeper recipes that's more complex-tasting than it sounds. Each element is supereasy to prepare and can be made days in advance, but the finished dessert is a stunner.
Marinated Spinach with Sesame
In this simple preparation, spinach stems add textural interest to the wilted leaves. Make sure to be thorough when squeezing out the greens, otherwise the dressing will get watered down.
Skate Wing Schnitzel
"This dish was on our opening menu and still makes an appearance whenever we can get fresh skate wings," says chef Adam Evans. His method also works with skinless turbot, flounder, or sole fillets.
Seaweed and Tofu Beignets with Lime Mayonnaise
At Alma, Los Angeles, these airy beignets are topped with yuzu , a spicy condiment made with yuzu (an aromatic Japanese citrus), chile, and salt. Though not the same, we got great results using lemons.
Roasted Pepper Panzanella
If you'd like, let the croutons sit in the pepper mixture until the bread is fairly soft; it'll soak up the flavorful dressing.
Shrimp with Ancho Butter Sauce
A saucy dish for those who don't mind eating with their hands. Serve with plenty of crackers or bread for sopping up every last bit of the delicious liquid, and extra napkins, too!
Greens with Horseradish–Crème Fraîche Dressing
Toasting grains and seeds is a simple move that adds texture and deep flavor to this green salad. The dressing will be milder if you use fresh horseradish, or sharp and a tad spicy if you use prepared.
Carrot and Beet Slaw with Pistachios and Raisins
At Ava Gene's, chef Joshua McFadden always dresses his salads with the acidic components first so the produce can absorb some of those flavors before being coated with oil.

The Independent"Arguably literature's first romantic-time-travelling-conspiracy-thriller..." 11.22.63 is quite something, an exciting, intelligent if overlong book that underlines all King's powers as a novelist while exposing some of his flaws...
The Telegraph"It really shouldn't work as well as it does..." King's minute attention to detail and ear for language, as well as his evident relish for a juicy pulp premise, carry this 700-page book through its welter of red herrings and soap-operatic longueurs...
Guardian"The most remarkable storyteller in modern American literature..." This nagging doubt about the security of the history being altered is beautifully used by King, who also cleverly exploits a major fascination of time-travel or counter-history stories...

House panel hopes to air inconvenient truths about EPA's 'war on coal'

President Obama wants to stake his legacy on fighting global warming even if he has to fake it, which he does. That inconvenient truth will get a hearing Thursday by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and it won't be pretty. The Subcommittee on Energy and Power, led by Rep.

While we weren't paying attention, post-war Iraq grew into a major force in the global oil market. Reaching a 30-year high, its production and exports have climbed steadily since 2011—making Iraq the second largest producer in OPEC, the seventh globally. The International Energy Agency (EIA) has forecast that Iraq has the fifth-largest proven oil reserves. […]
Hollywood's hydrocarbon hypocrisy

Anti-fracking fervor underscores dismissive attitudes toward working classes and poor families Several Hollywood elites were recently caught red-handed on videotape, agreeing to take money from a Middle Eastern oil sheikh for another anti-fracking movie. Their actions were shameful, but they felt no shame – only anger at the folks who caught them in the act. […]

America is poised to become the "no pee" section of the global swimming pool and the useless actions will cost us a bundle—raising energy costs, adding new taxes, and crippling the economy. Even some environmentalists agree. Yet, for President Obama, it's all about legacy. On Monday, June 2, 2014, the EPA will release its new […]

Distractions, agendas, false realities, and policies that bring much harm but few benefits The White House has released its latest National Climate Assessment. An 829-page report and 127-page "summary" were quickly followed by press releases, television appearances, interviews and photo ops with tornado victims – all to underscore President Obama's central claims: Human-induced climate change, […]
Environmental Shakedown through bastardized application of science, policy and education

Over a three-year period, 2009-2012, Department of Justice data shows American taxpayers footed the bill for more than $53 million in so-called environmental groups' legal fees—and the actual number could be much higher. The real motivation behind the Endangered Species Act (ESA) litigation, perhaps, could have more to do with vengeance and penance than with […]

Lab Results Help Pls
Hi All,
I just got a yearly check up done and
Just got my labs back,
TSH: 5.82 (/35 - 5.5 uIU/ml)
T3 free: 3.19 (1.4 - 4.5 pg/ml)
T4 free: 1.30 (0.8 - 1.90 ng/dl)
I am currently on no medication,
Any recommendations or comments, would be of much help
how do you feel?
TSH of 5.82 is a little high. 1-2 is most optimal. Hopefully you have a doc who will work with you IF you are feeling any symptoms of hypo.
The current guidelines are that any TSH above 3.0 is considered likely hypothyroid, and you're well above that.
The TSH indicates how hard the pituitary has to work to stimulate the thyroid into making sufficient hormones, so although your T4 and T3 levels are well within range, your body is working too hard to produce those hormones--and that is not a situation that can continue indefinitely. This is why the TSH is usually the first 'signal' of a need for thyroid treatment.
You should talk to your doctor about options, based on how you're currently feeling as well as these lab numbers.
I was also going to ask how you feel?
I think the American Assoc. of Endocrinology says TSH levels over or under 0.03-3.0 could bring on hypo or hyper symptoms and warrant thyroxine supplementation.
My TSH was 5.0 and I was a total train wreck, yet being told I was within "normal range".
Check back :)
