Obesity Might Not Look Good in "Genes"
Researchers have discovered something extraordinary about obesity. It might cause a variety of health problems by affecting genes. The journal Lancet published the work of these researchers online on March 12. If future research confirms this thinking, it could help explain why obesity-associated health problems appear to run in families.
Anyone who has studied biology in school is familiar with the idea that genes can be passed down from one generation to the next. And (when health is concerned) there are certain "good genes" and "bad genes" a person can inherit. Some genes contribute to diseases, and some genes protect against health problems. But there is a new aspect to the genetics story that we are just beginning to understand. It's called "epigenetics." Epigenetics is a way that a person's health or environmental exposures — and now, perhaps a person's body weight, too — can turn genes on or off. How does it work? A gene can be turned "off" when molecule fragments, such as methyl groups, attach to the gene.
During reproduction, methyl groups or other molecule fragments appear to be copied along with genes from mom and dad. This means an active gene (with no methyl groups) is inherited by a new generation as an active gene and an "off" gene (made inactive by methyl groups) is inherited in the form of an "off" gene (the baby's gene, too, carries methyl groups). This means you didn't only inherit your genes from your parents, you also inherited a genetic "memory" of sorts, built from your parents' life experiences. We don't know much about what it takes for methyl groups or other genetic "clutter" to be removed, once these molecule fragments become part of the genetic message.
An example of epigenetics is the effect of smoking on genes. Smoking was recently found to add methyl groups to certain genes. Experts think the genes affected are the ones that protect against cancer.
What's new is the discovery that being obese appears to add methyl groups to a particular gene. Researchers analyzed the DNA of 459 people. The higher the body mass index (BMI) of a person, the more methyl groups were present in the area of HIF3A. This gene is familiar in genetic research. When it is active, this gene triggers a large number of other genes to function and build proteins. Researchers wonder if lower activity of this gene might be one reason that certain problems, such as diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, are so common in obese people.
This research is so new that it involves a fair amount of speculation. But it could create a tremendous opportunity for us. Eventually, we may be able to create treatments that can "remove" methyl groups from specific gene areas. Someday this could limit the health impact of obesity. Or it might even help the biology and health of the next generation.
Guidelines Would Add Statin Drug for 13 Million Americans
The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology issued new cholesterol treatment guidelines in November 2013. The guidelines recommended that more people take statins. Now, an analysis has applied the guidelines to a group of typical Americans to see whether a statin drug would be recommended to prevent heart disease and stroke. The analysis was published in the New England Journal of Medicine's online edition March 19.
According to the results, following the guideline means that almost 13 million more Americans will be eligible to take statins. Almost all of the increase was among adults who did not have heart disease, but were at risk to develop it.
Most adults with heart disease already take a statin. But the guidelines recommend statins for most adults between ages 60 and 75, even when heart disease is not present. This would mean that 87.4% of healthy men ages 60 to 75 who don't currently take a statin would be eligible for one. For healthy women, 53.6% ages 60 to 75 who are not already on statin would now be eligible to take a statin. If patients go along with the guideline, this added statin use may prevent as many as 475,000 heart attack and stroke events (counting both fatal and non-fatal events) over 10 years.
Many doctors and patients are hesitating to adopt these new guidelines fully, because they represent such a large change in our threshold to begin statin drugs. Statin use, like any drug, has trade-offs. In this case, statins can prevent heart disease, but they are a daily pill, have potential side effects, and they add to health care costs.
More News In Brief
- Fewer Americans are Dying from Colon Cancer. In the 1940s and 1950s, colon cancer was the leading cause of cancer deaths for Americans. Now, it is the third leading cause of cancer death. According to an update published March 17 by the American Cancer Society, we are beating colon cancer. The update was published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. Colon cancer rates fell 30% for Americans age 50 and older between 2000 and 2010. Deaths from colon cancer also dropped, by a similar amount during that same decade. Researchers said the main reason is clear. Rates of colonoscopy rose during the same period. This screening test can find and remove colon polyps before they turn into cancer. In 2000, 19% of adults ages 50 through 75 had been screened with colonoscopy. That jumped to 55% in 2010. Treatments have improved as well, so more colon cancers that are discovered are cured with treatment. Colon cancer screening is recommended for all adults over the age of 50.
- Vegetarian Diets Help Lower Blood Pressure. Researchers combined data from 39 studies. The results show that a vegetarian diet can lead to modestly lower, healthier blood pressure, compared with diets that include meat. The authors published their findings in JAMA Internal Medicine on February 24. There are other diets that have previously been proven to lower blood pressure, including the low-salt DASH diet. When counseling patients, doctors can include a vegetarian diet as one suggested way to lower blood pressure.
- Glucosamine No Help for Knee Pain. As recently as 2007, 1 out of every 5 American adults surveyed reported taking the supplement glucosamine to relieve their aching joints. Several years ago a combined analysis of small studies failed to show a benefit from glucosamine and chondroitin. This month a new small study has again failed to show benefit. The study included 201 adults with chronic knee pain. The participants were randomly assigned to either receive glucosamine in a daily lemonade drink or to receive lemonade with placebo. The study continued for 24 weeks. MRI images showed no differences between the two groups, and pain scores were the same. The journal Arthritis & Rheumatology published the study on March 11. Glucosamine may be a harmless product, but it is not helpful for arthritis.
- ACOG Advises Against Water Births. In some hospitals, offering a warm water "birthing pool" has become popular. Some women say immersion in the tub is relaxing and might help to reduce labor pain. On March 24, after a review of hospitals' experiences with the tubs, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) released recommendations for this practice. According to ACOG there may be some positive effects of water immersion in the early stages of labor. However, underwater delivery has risks. Potential risks include infections in the newborn, unsafe body temperature changes in the baby, umbilical cord injury, seizures, infant drownings and respiratory distress from water entering the lungs. AGOC recommends that hospitals wishing to offer water immersion offer it only during the first stage of labor.
Tylenol in Pregnancy May Be Associated with (a Few) Additional Cases of Childhood ADHD. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) has been considered safe for pregnant women. But a study released online February 24 by JAMA Pediatricsmakes this less certain. The study authors used data from extensive surveys that came from a project known as the Danish National Birth Cohort. That project collected information about 64,322 children and mothers, for births between 1996 and 2002. More than half of the mothers reported taking acetaminophen at least once during pregnancy. We can assume this was to treat pain or fever. When the researchers looked at the health of the children at age 7, they found that a somewhat higher number of children had a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the group whose moms had reported taking acetaminophen. The difference was not large — for every 10 children being treated for ADHD in the group with no prenatal exposure, there were about 12 children being treated for ADHD in the families of mom's who had taken acetaminophen during pregnancy.
This data are not strong enough to make doctors or drug safety experts change their advice about Tylenol. The difference between groups was so small that it barely met criteria of "statistical significance." Even if the difference between the exposed and unexposed groups had been larger, this might have been caused by harm from fever, pain or infection that led to Tylenol use. In other words, Tylenol may have been present as a coincidence, not a cause. Based on this study, I will continue to tell patients that it's OK to use Tylenol in pregnancy if you have a high fever or a bad headache. Even though drug safety experts will give Tylenol a closer look after this study, Tylenol is still considered one of our safest medicines to use in pregnancy.

The man found guilty in the 2007 murder of a former Cal Poly professor's son is denied a new trial, and the victim's family disagrees with the decision. Twenty-year-old Patrick Wollett was convicted of murdering Joshua Houlgate last summer. Another man, Chad Westbrook, has already been sentenced for shooting Houlgate. Wollett had requested a new trial claiming he was not well-represented during the original trial. After denying the request, a judge handed down Wollett's sentence.
You could tell it was difficult for Wollett but he did his best to hold it together as Judge Harman handed down his sentence. Cynthia Allaire, Wollett's aunt, said, "He has spent the last two-and-a half years in a cell for a crime he has not committed." Wollett's family is outraged and maintains he's innocent. Allaire said, "He's got post-traumatic stress from witnessing this. He was not a participant." What happened back in 2007 still haunts the Houlgate family. But Joshua Houlgate's father told KSBY News he was hoping the judge would grant Wollett a new trial. He said, "My wife and I still believe that Patrick Wollett was not given an adequate defense. We're just very sorry for the young lives so sadly affected by the tragedy of our son's murder.
While both sides agree Wollett did not shoot Houlgate, the prosecution said he still played a key role. Matt Kerrigan, Deputy District Attorney, said, "To be convicted of first degree murder, you don't have to be the person to pull the trigger." Kerrigan is aware Wollett now plans to appeal the case. Kerrigan said, "He has a right to appeal the case, I expect him to do that. But I believe in the record and I'm confident that the case will be affirmed down the road."
Wollette was also given a consecutive sentence of six years for an assault with a deadly weapon conviction. He was convicted of beating Houlgate and another woman at the scene with a bat. The witness in the case was Sarah Losinger-Rey. She had been engaged to Wollett's brother, which is what prosecutors said prompted the crime.

How Wizard 101 Actually Helped My Son
Back in October, I wrote about an expensive lesson that my son and husband learned through Wizard101, a massively multiplayer online role-playing fantasy game. (Think Dungeons and Dragons without the multisided dice or workbooks).
Months later, my son continues to be obsessed with the game, despite my efforts to distract him. He has spent hours learning new spells, completing missions, collecting new pets and moving up the wizard ranks. He has also spent quite a few hours chasing a female friend from school around the wizarding cities.
When I asked why she doesn't chase him, he responded "well mom, she has a horse."
But this past weekend, as I visited Austin, Texas for SXSW, I realized Wizard101 may have a few redeeming qualities.
Each morning, before I headed out to the conference, I would log in to my wizarding account and "meet" my son somewhere in the game. Over the course of 15-20 minutes he would lead me around, telling me where to go, giving me advice on which type of spell to use to take the most advantage of a spell he had cast, and most importantly, talking – About his day, school, his sister, etc.
One day, my daughter even joined in the fun.
Later, standing in a monster line at Starbucks, I met Dr. Pamela Rutledge from the Media Psychology Research Center and told her about my recent Wizard101 activities. She then asked me if I thought that my son was gaining a new sense of confidence through his successes.
Um… no.
Our son has been having a great year. But as we've talked about all the things that may be contributing to his success – psychiatrist, reading specialist, teachers – it never once occurred to us that a video game could be part of the equation.
But I think she might be right.
So while I'm going to continue to badger him to diversify his interests a bit, I'm also going to fight his Wizard 101 obsession a little less. Because it seems to be working a special type of magic on our son.
Pictured above: I cast a spell while my dragon "Princess Sophie" looks on.

text: WEST LINN - The most visible part of the bridge rehabilitation work starts soon as the Gunite (concrete) coating on the steel is removed using a very high-pressure water process called hydroblasting. You can view the work under the bridge deck from the east side of the sidewalk of Hwy 99E. Or go to the top of the Municipal Elevator for a good view of the other work going on above the deck. Gunite Removal With the arrival of the barges, the contractor is preparing the containment system for the hydroblasting. Big curtains will direct and capture the water and debris into containers so none of it enters the river. After treatment it is sent through the sanitary sewer system. You will see clouds of steam from this hydroblasting, rising over the tops of the curtains. The steam is only water vapor—no chemicals. The Gunite removal starts next week on the arches under the bridge deck on the Oregon City side and later it moves to the West Linn side. When the Gunite is gone, you will be able to see the steel of the arch ribs. The workers will use "Manlift" access platforms, stationed on the barges, to remove the Gunite below the bridge deck. The curtains will be moved along as the work progresses along the span. The whole process continues for about 6 weeks. Windy days can affect this schedule. So the contractor will work longer days during the hydroblasting. The work on the arches above the deck will start at a later date. Traffic Impacts To address traffic backups during afternoon commute time in West Linn at Willamette Falls Drive, ODOT recently installed signs to indicate that the right lane on Willamette Falls Drive approaching OR 43 is local access to the paper mill and police station only. ODOT asks motorist to not use Mill Street or the West Linn Paper Mill parking lot (private property) to turn around or make U-turns because it interferes with mill operations. ODOT is continuing to look at additional measures to reduce congestion in this area and we are proactively working with the West Linn police on these issues. Shuttle Ridership With the nice weather, Bridge Shuttle ridership is growing. After 23 weeks of service, the number of shuttle riders is 13,459 including 1,969 bicyclists. The average number of pedestrians riding on weekdays is currently 81 and the daily average for bicyclists is 12. Overall pedestrians ride more on weekdays and bicyclists ride more on weekends. OTHER REPAIR WORK Timber "Bumper" Replacement The bridge has "bumpers" attached to the arch on the upstream side of the bridge protecting it from damage caused by logs floating down the river in high water. The current wooden bumpers will be replaced with timber-type lumber made from reclaimed plastic and wood waste. Seismic Restraints The installation of seismic restraints continues, throughout the length of the bridge, for the next few weeks. These restraints consist of steel cables and bracket plates connected under the bridge to keep the roadway from falling in case of an earthquake. Steel Replacement The contractor is replacing the beams in the sidewalk that have corroded over time, where the arch goes through the deck. Other ongoing work includes replacement of areas of corroded steel.

So I haven't really played it much and was wondering; how one goes about playing TT. Is there some sort of meta people follow like in SR? Do people still rush to the bot bush before the minions spon for first blood? Are Teemo and Lux good on this map?
Yeah, minor change, today the completely remade the map, removed half of the jungle, swapped the Drake for Spider and basically destroyed the meta as anyone knew it. You know about as much as we do :P
and it's not a mini summoners rift anymore.. it's a dominion with lanes that focuses on capturing points every 30 seconds or your team is screwed. have fun the meta was 3 bruisers = win.
Alpha Q23
Riot screwed over TT thats what changed. I knew Riot hated TT but why did they have to Napalm us.

My recommendations.... don't... play... it...

An Open Letter to UK Metal Fans Regarding Avenged Sevenfold
November 4, 2013 in News, Ryan Howe
Good Day,
You don't know me and by the time you have finished reading this you will probably will despise me. Today Download Festival announced the first of 3 headliners and you all lost your shit. I mean it's not like they announced Taylor Swift or something, they announced a balls-out rock band.
I first came across Avenged Sevenfold during their Waking The Fallen album cycle at Leeds Festival in 2004, when they played the tiny Lock Up Stage. I had heard their track Unholy Confessions and loved it so I piled into the tent full of expectation. What I got was smashed about the head with punk infused metalcore, painful circle pits and unbridled passion from the smallish crowd. I have been a fan ever since. You will be getting that on a stage 10 times bigger and from a band 10 years further down the line.
One of the biggest insults I read amongst the endless tweets of derision was that Avenged were only popular because their drummer died. Are you for real? Avenged have got there on the back of relentless touring, record making and being all round hard working guys, to say that they are in this position because of the death of a founder of their band is stupidly disrespectful and offensive as Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan was one of the finest modern metal drummers around. Yes, their latest album got to number one in the UK but consider this: they did it on no commercial airplay support, they did it on word of mouth and more relentless promotion. And yes, their album does sound like a lot of traditional metal albums all fused into one but surely as "metalheads" its what you want? I mean doesn't every Iron Maiden album sound the same as the last? Yet you love it when they do it, raise the double standards flag people.
Consider this: If most "metalheads" had their way the line up would always include one of Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne or Guns N Roses in a merry circle until time stopped, but without Andy Copping giving a chance to other bands (like he did last year with Rammstein) like Avenged Sevenfold the scene would stagnate and die. It's as simple as that. There is a cluster of other bands still in the under headliner category that are capable of taking that next step but without someone taking a chance they never will. Those bands include the likes of Machine Head, Stone Sour, Killswitch Engage, Deftones, Lamb of God and Bullet for my Valentine. All of which need to step up their game another notch to get to the highest echelon. Another reason to rejoice is the fact in a time when most bands aren't bringing much of a set up to big arena shows and the like, Avenged have a massive touring set that's been part of their Hail To The King, bringing more of a visual element to their set to back up their impressive sound.
In short, stop being narrow minded cunts and actually go enjoy it, if you don't want to see Avenged Sevenfold then don't. There will be three other stages to check out. Or don't go to Download full stop, maybe your "protest" will cause Andy Copping to abandon the plan to blood new talent! (I doubt it though judging by his replies on Twitter). The other alternative will be to go and watch this band you have slagged off behind a keyboard and be prepared to have your opinions changed. I know where I'll be.
Yours Sincerely,
Ryan Howe

How can you say you're the countries first pot critic when you know that's not true? KindReviews and StrainMan were here before you and KindReviews was published in MostHi before you were a part of westword
This month I'll mark my third anniversary of reviewing medical marijuana dispensaries for Westword as the country's first MMJ critic. In that time, I've written about more than 150 dispensaries, smoked at least 546 grams of cannabis and tested out nearly two ounces of assorted hash, kief and oil. Not bad for a job that I originally thought was going to be a short-lived stunt.
That's not to say I didn't take the job seriously — I did — but back in the fall of 2009, the mainstream media wasn't taking the MMJ industry seriously, much less giving it the attention that 60 Minutes just did in its October 21 report. And while that was shortsighted, it was also easy to understand. Growers were opening up ragtag shops and selling anything they could move to patients pumped just to be able to buy legal marijuana. So many dispensaries popped up on South Broadway that the stretch became known as "Broadsterdam."
Three years later, everyone takes Colorado's MMJ industry seriously. Despite federal closures of nearly sixty dispensaries around the state, there are still hundreds of centers open for business. Yes, there are still some crappy, low-rent shops out there — but I've also seen an increasing number of shops doing things right. The most obvious change has been the constantly improving quality of cannabis available. While a lot of people like to make the blanket assertion that all dispensary meds are warehouse-quality and don't compare to the small grows of dedicated personal caregivers, that doesn't always hold true. While some centers have just mid-grade buds, an inexperienced caregiver may do no better. And there are definitely shops that turn out top caregiver-level cannabis, including Green Dream Health Services, the Health Center, Colorado Alternative Medicine and the Golden Goat.
A lot of the improvement is due to the increasingly complex genetics originating in Colorado gardens. The Golden Goat's Tierra Rojo has been mixing up the genetic pool of available kush and haze varieties by breeding them with the heirloom-vegetable equivalent: seeds originally sourced from Afghanistan. And while Colorado's original seed company, Centennial Seeds, has shut down because the law now prohibits cultivation by any entity other than a caregiver or dispensary, other seed companies have aligned with dispensaries and are flourishing. Reserva Privada, for example, has come out with a line of seeds that combines a number of strains from the Clinic with RP's fierce LA Confidential.
Prices have also become consistently better from a consumer's standpoint. When I first started reviewing MMJ, paying $50 or more for 3.5 grams of mid-grade buds was the norm at most shops. Higher-end buds would regularly sell for $60, and some places like Boulder's Greenest Green would go as high as $70 for an eighth of an ounce. Now patients looking for cut-rate buds will find many places selling herb below $200 an ounce. While a good amount of that is not worth buying if you're truly concerned about medical-quality buds, there are also quality grows with warehouses pumping out top-rate buds for members at $200 or below. Even Greenest Green has lowered the prices on its consistently chronic-quality herb to a more reasonable sub-$50/eighth level.
Another major development has been the increased availability and quality of concentrates like hash and hash oil. No doubt this is partly because of all the excess cannabis grown in the larger warehouses. But some dispensaries have begun looking at concentrates as almost an art form, hiring dedicated hash-makers to produce extremely potent, high-quality, delicious-tasting and skunk-stinking icewater extractions. A huge market has also emerged for all things solvent-extracted. Butane hash oil was known to only a few message-board weed geeks just three years ago, and now every dispensary carries grams of butter, shatter, earwax or whatever nickname they care to attach to it; the overall quality has improved from a general viscous, used-motor-oil consistency to see-through amber glass made of chemically extracted cannabinoids.
And it's gratifying to see that advancements aren't coming from professional or college labs with major funding, but from a few dedicated pot nerds who have come together through Internet forums and Saturday-night hash gatherings rather than peer-reviewed papers and university conferences.
As much as some things have changed, others remain the same. Despite my series of blood tests in April 2011 that demonstrated how THC DUI laws might harm sober medical marijuana patients, state senator Steve King plans to bring another proposal to the legislature in the next session. (Amendment 64 clearly states that driving under the influence of marijuana "shall remain illegal.") And on a personal level, I'm still plagued by the same painful stomach condition that gives me almost daily nausea and cramping.
But not everything that stays the same is as unwelcome: I still get excited checking out new dispensaries every week, and medical cannabis is still the best medicine to help curb those symptoms. And whether or not Amendment 64 passes next month, I'll still be able to get my meds in Colorado.
How can you say you're the countries first pot critic when you know that's not true? KindReviews and StrainMan were here before you and KindReviews was published in MostHi before you were a part of westword
My bad, I see it 'says' medical marijuana provisions are unaffected. So I hope it passes - I'll have to SO proudly call friends in other states. I use it as medicine and it's a powerful drug. Don't let anybody tell you it's inconsequential, especially if your brain is under 30. You can't smoke that skunk haze every day without going nuts.
I voted last week. I reversed the question - should people over 21 be arrested for possession of an ounce or less if they're not behind the wheel? Voted Yes on the amendment. I still don't I regret it. But, as a medical patient I can grow enough plants, have learned under this amendment, I can't. My condition requires specific strains not always available in stores, so if it passes and becomes 'legal', I'll be illegal again. The med industry was making sense. The way I read it, all dispensaries will want to become retail operations. Too bad, a max of 3 flowering plants isn't enough for me, I grow mine in winter, when the lights can heat the place. I can't be running a garden year-round, I'm sick. So I voted for it, but it's okay with me if it fails.
William was not the first pot critic.. There were at least three others before him
Yes on A64, Even Kathleen Chippi cannot come up with a valid argument why you should not.
There is simply no reason to vote against this. If you are a human and you have a brain and you intend to vote against this new amendment I beg you to provide me a reason for your position.
There is no benefit in voting AGAINST, therefore logic dictates you must vote FOR A64!
"I'm still plagued by the same painful stomach condition that gives me almost daily nausea and cramping."
"medical cannabis is still the best medicine to help curb those symptoms" Oh really, then why are you still plagued with the nausea and cramping?
Just another example of the fallacy of why cannabis should be legalized.
Strain man is great, but he writes his own blog with no oversight. Kind Reviews was started in July 2009, but they only review strains. I love both of those guy's sites and think they are valuable resources (KindReviews is awesome)
I review dispensaries as well as the meds for a longstanding actual newspaper (albeit an Alt-weekly) that isn't a specific marijuana trade publication. And yes, I was the first one to be doing anything like that in this country.
A64 does NOT legalize marijuana -- even the authors of it admit that fact.
A64 only allows 1 pathetic ounce, where 2 ounces are already decriminalized in Colorado for everyone, without age discrimination.
A64 declares that Marijuana is a Public Safety and Health Hazard, so much so that NO ADULT < 21 years old should be allowed any legal access to it -- not a single gram.
A64 declares that Marijuana is so Harmful and Dangerous that it must be Government Regulated and Controlled, LIKE DEADLY Alcohol that maims and kills 10s of thousands of people every year.
A64 = a step backwards, written for fools and tools too stupid to read, much less comprehend what it proposes.
In Billy's adolescent world, if it's new to him he assumes -- like some Cannabis Columbus -- that he was the first to discover it ... such as his laughable claim about BHO.
I have never claimed that marijuana cured my specific stomach condition, I said it helped curb the symptoms.
Thanks for the comment.
@GetALife As the comment you quoted says, "cannabis ... curb[s] symptoms". That doesn't mean that the underlying disease or injury isn't there. It means that today, when you take some cannabis, it doesn't hurt until the cannabis wears off, just like your grandma's arthritis doesn't hurt as much when she takes aspirin.
The reason cannabis shouldn't be legalized is that you believe your right-wing political correctness is more important than a patient's pain, and that your recreational beer drinking is just fine but other people's recreational pot smoking is evil. Because of people like you, my father didn't get to use marijuana during the last few months of his cancer. It might have helped.
@GetALife Advil doesn't cure you of headaches, should that be illegal to by your reasoning?
The medical cannabis is not a "cure" it helps us get through the day without feeling sick. Those who want to judge don't have to suffer like some of have to. My Dr's just shake their head when I tell them what my body does. They took my gall bladder out and I still get sick, go figure. Lost 50 lbs in a year because I can't eat much. Medical cannabis does help the daily nasea though. Without it I probably couldn't work much. Maybe you should be more educated on the qualities of medical cannabis before doubting what's been proven.
@WillBreathes I'm familiar with when KindReviews started June 2009 since I started it. But to your point you are correct you reviewed dispensaries and not just the herb So my apologies for my comments. When I started KindReviews there no one knew what strains worked best for what ailments nor did they actually know if the Ghost's OG they said they were being given was truly Ghost's. Now my Bro and Ry run it and are doing a fine job with it I would say. Again my apologies
@WillBreathes Do be shy, Billy -- you were the WORLD's First Dispensary Reviewer ... who writes for an alt-weekly ... published in Colorado.
When is Westword going to launch the Liquor Store Review column, and the much anticipated Pharmacy Reviews ?
@DonkeyHotay @RealMedicalNeed A64 does legalize marijuana for those 21 and up. Donkey is a known Prohibitionist and rageaholic that believes all police officers are pigs, people in medical marijuana are all "black market drug dealers," and that soldiers are murderers. Go ahead and look up A64 for yourself and give it a read, it's very clearly stated that it is legal.
@WillBreathes ... and it gets you High!
No need to completely abandon your Puerile Pot Clown suit ... now that pot might be "legal" after A64 ... and tens of thousands of recreational stoners can drop the pretense of "medical" necessity from their routine, you guys can go back to finding Denver's "Dankest Corners" and other discoveries of social import.
HipTip -- morphine and/or fentanyl provide waaaay better pain relief than marijuana.
@dailydose "The medical cannabis is not a "cure" "
So you renounce and condemn those clueless stoners who claim that Marijuana CURES Cancer, eh ?
@WillBreathes But in all fairness the title says you're the first pot critic not first dispensary critic...
@mattleising @DonkeyHotay @RealMedicalNeed
I wonder what IBM's policies are on being a drunk. Can you tell us, Aaron?
@DonkeyHotay It's legalization silly un-American Donkey :) Can't wait to open a retail shop and sell weed to your kids when they get old enough!
@mattleising "No."
So then A64 is NOT legalization, and it would be inaccurate to call it that.
Thanks for playing, better luck next time, chump.
@DonkeyHotay No, but you sure are and you're the type of person that says,"soldiers are murderers." How much do you hate this country? What's you real deal?
@DonkeyHotay it's very accurate to call it legalization. It's used in the first paragraph silly Donkey.
"LEGALIZATION is NOT what this is. .... it would be INACCURATE to call it LEGALIZATION."
-- Steve Fox, Author of A64, during the legislative hearings on the initiative.
@DonkeyHotay Ypu forgot the other side. These things are illegal because the rest is legal for those 21 and up. Also, you forgot the whole business license sales and what not. Maybe all the Phelps family protests that you go to and support has you jaded into the blissful rage you've always wanted and you can't see what's staring at you in the face
A64 says that DUI marijuana shall remain ILLEGAL
A64 says that possession of > 1 pathetic ounce shall remain ILLEGAL.
A64 says that possession of ANY amount by ANY ADULT < 21 yrs old shall remain ILLEGAL
A64 says that public use or display by ANYONE shall remain ILLEGAL.
A64 says that cultivation of 4 or more flowering plants shall remain ILLEGAL
A64 says that cultivation of ANY plants by ANY ADULT < 21 yrs old shall remain ILLEGAL.
A64 says that ANY SALES by private consenting adults shall remain ILLEGAL -- a FELONY even for a single gram.
@DonkeyHotay Again, what does Amendment 64 say? Ya know, the one we're all voting on or are you too busy hanging out with the Phelps family praising "god" for dead soldiers
@mattleising So were the Authors of A64 LYING during the legislative hearings when they clearly stated -- under oath -- that A64 does NOT legalize marijuana ?
"LEGALIZATION is NOT WHAT THIS IS. .... It's a significant legal difference and it would be INACCURATE to call it LEGALIZATION." -- Steve Fox, Author of A64
Are you saying the AUTHORS of A64 are Liars ?
@DonkeyHotay @RealMedicalNeed what does the amendment actually say you crazy un-American Prohibitionist?
@mattleising @DonkeyHotay @RealMedicalNeed
"I mean she made our point better than we have, which is LEGALIZATION is NOT WHAT THIS IS. .... It's a significant legal difference and IT WOULD BE INACCURATE to call it LEGALIZATION." -- Steve Fox, Author of A64
"I agree that [Amendment 64 ] should not be called a 'legalization initiative'".
-- Robert Chase
@DonkeyHotay Blah blah blah Donkey. See the cool thing is about when you say this nonsense about me, it's only put of your head and everyone knows it. When I quote you though, not only is it true, but its appalling. I hope you meet up with some of the guys you call "murderers" at some point and they teach you otherwise.
@mattleising = self-confessed black market criminal drug dealer and shill for greedy big $$ dispensaries who want to marginalize and eliminate the independent patient-growers / caregivers operating under the Colorado Constitutional Amendment 20.
@DonkeyHotay = will say anything hateful to try to discredit someone but never comes off right and just looks dumb. The kind of person that hates our troops and our nation
@DonkeyHotay Says the guy that thinks all police officers are pigs, people that work in MMJ or do research are "black market drug dealers," and think that all soldiers are murderers. Stammering? Nope, just using what you've said over the past couple weeks. You are probably one of the most un-American people I've ever talked to in my life. I pity you more and more with every post. I hope you wake up one day and shake all the hate in your heart
@DonkeyHotay Why do you Donkey? You believe they shouldn't smoke or drink and call them murderers if they serve in our military and find them laughable. I pity you
If marijuana has zero side effects, they why do scumbags like you vote to DENY ALL ADULTS < 21 yrs old any legal access to it, as A64 proposes?
@DonkeyHotay @BillStewart2012 not even close Donkey. Marijuana has zero side effects where as morphine and fentanyl have a ton of side effects including death.
@BillStewart2012 LOL!
When that study first came out decades ago, I went to Kinkos, made a few dozen copies, and mailed them to the State Patrol and Police departments around the state ...
with a note asking them -- Is it worth it ??
@DonkeyHotay @IcePick @dailydose Nah. It's prolonged exposure to radar guns that causes testicular cancer. Do you keep it on the seat next to you in your squad car?

George Zimmerman Detained By Police After Allegedly Pulling Gun On Estranged Wife
UPDATE: His wife decided not to press charges and he will not be arrested. In the 911 call, Shellie Zimmerman says George was threatening to shoot her and her father. Police said they didn't find a gun at the scene.
George Zimmerman was detained Monday afternoon in Lake Mary, Florida, after police responded to a domestic disturbance call.
The Associated Press reported that Zimmerman's wife Shellie — who recently filed for divorce — called police after Zimmerman allegedly threatened her and punched her father in the nose. Shellie Zimmerman's attorney told ABC News that George pulled a knife on her after she discovered a gun in the house. He then brandished a gun after a verbal altercation, according to attorney Kelly Sims.
Zimmerman was reportedly put in "investigative detention." No injuries were reported.
"We've only heard one side of the story so far," Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell told reporters shortly after the news broke.
It's been nearly two months since Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, was found not guilty of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012. Since then, he has had a handful of encounters with authorities in Central Florida; just last week, he was given a speeding ticket in Lake Mary.
More details on the incident:
George Zimmerman's brother — and frequent spokesman — responded with skepticism to the latest reports.
UPDATE - Sep. 9, 4:17 p.m., EDT:
Orlando's WKMG has released audio of the 911 call in which Shellie Zimmerman says he is threatening her and her family.
"He's in his car and he continually has his hand on his gun and he keeps saying 'Step closer.' He's just threatening all of us with his firearm," she told a 911 operator. "Step closer and what?" asked the operator. "And he's going to shoot us," Shellie responded.
While breathing heavily, she added that her father was punched in the nose and his glasses thrown to the floor. Zimmerman also allegedly grabbed her iPad and smashed it to pieces.
"I don't know what he's capable of," Shellie said. "I'm really scared."
When the police arrived with weapons drawn, she warned her father: "Dad, get back inside the house. George might start shooting at us."

John Smeltzer had another experience he needed to check off his bucket list.
His daughter, Lauren, had just graduated from high school and was looking for a big way to celebrate before starting college. Their solution was to take a cross-country motorcycle trip driving from Tennessee to the West Coast and back. The open road was calling.
The pair rode some 7,730 miles through different 23 states over the course of two weeks in July, and they stopped at 19 national parks along the way, including Yellowstone, Grand Canyon and Grand Tetons national parks. They also saw well-known landmarks such as Mount Rushmore National Memorial and the Four Corners, the spot where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah meet.
They had pieced together a list of places they wanted to see and were also planning to attend a motorcycle rally in Reno, Nev., John said.
"When we planned the trip, I asked her what she wanted to see," he said. "That started the ball rolling on the whole trip thing."
A self-described "Army brat," John grew up in a lot of different places, including a few places out West. He wanted to make sure they visited some of his old stomping grounds.
"It was something I wanted her to see," John said, adding that the trip also gave him and Lauren some extra time to spend together before she would move away for college this fall.
The list of places kept getting longer and longer as they planned. They had originally allotted the time and money to travel an estimated 5,500 miles, but the trip grew.
The father and daughter live in Charleston, "on the edge of Cleveland." John is a respiratory specialist and clinical coordinator of Respiratory Care at the main campus of SkyRidge Medical Center, where he has worked for 33 years.
Lauren, 18, graduated from Walker Valley High School in the spring and is planning to start her college career in a matter of days at Bethel University in McKenzie. She will study nursing on a scholarship she will receive for earning a spot on the college's bowling team. Lauren and her father are both avid bowlers and have competed with bowling leagues in Cleveland.
They both began riding when Lauren was 8 years old. John bought a dirt bike for Lauren and his three older sons Sean, Ryan and Evan to share. He bought a motorcycle for himself around the same time.
Lauren said she graduated to riding street motorcycles four years ago and has been riding the roads since. Before her recent graduation, she was a "biker chick" who rode to high school on a motorcycle.
Even though just the two of them traveled together, they found a way to make people back home feel like they were part of the trip. Three days in, they began to use Facebook to share their journey with friends and family, posting status updates, photos and videos of where they had been that day. John said a friend a later told him it felt like he was making the trip with them.
"It's hard to get 600 people on the bike," John joked. "But we did it."
Each of them had favorite places out of the ones they visited. The elder Smeltzer said he really liked driving through Utah for the state's "great motorcycle roads" and rocky, rugged scenery.
"It's hard to compare places like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone," he said. "Both [are] amazing in their own way."
Lauren's favorite part of the trip was riding on the Pacific Coast Highway in California.
"It was just really cool because you were on the mountain and could see the ocean," she said.
While there were many things that could have gone wrong on a long road trip like theirs, the Smeltzers said they did not have much unexpected trouble.
Along the way, they had to have a new chain put on Lauren's motorcycle. They also had a tire on her dad's bike replaced, but that was something for which they'd already planned.
"We were well watched over," he said.
They had to cross a destination off their list because of a forest fire and hit a rainstorm so bad they had to take a break under a highway overpass. However, both said environmental conditions were not too much of a concern, otherwise.
Each night, John and Lauren either stayed in a hotel or the tents they had brought along for camping. The two camped for five of the nights on the trip, stopping at some of the national parks they wanted to explore by daylight the following mornings. But John said the hard ground and some persistant mosquitoes made them appreciate hotels.
Before they left Tennessee, some friends and family had expressed concerns for their safety. John said one person suggested he carry a gun for self-defense. Still others were worried about the safety of being on motorcycles in general.
He said he thinks riding a motorcycle is only as dangerous as driving a car and that it all depends on the skill level of the driver. He and his daughter are both very experienced riders, he added.
John said there is a certain degree of camaraderie within the motorcycle community. When they would stop to refuel their gas tanks along the way, they would sometimes meet other bikers wondering where they were traveling. They got acquainted with one couple from Michigan who were traveling almost the same route they were — just in the opposite direction.
"You get a lot of questions," he said.
John drove an orange Yamaha Raider, and Lauren drove a white and pink Yamaha FZ6R — complete with pink wheels. At one point, some Japanese tourists wanted to take photos of themselves with Lauren's bike at one of their national park stops because they liked its colors, John said with a laugh. Another funny moment involved an Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas posing for photos on the back of Lauren's bike.
After looking at a bunch of motorcycles at the rally in Reno, she later decided to trade her bike for a nicer upgrade.
John said he's glad they got the chance to go on a vacation together before she starts college, and Lauren will have a unique response if someone at college asks what she did this summer.
"It was an amazing trip," he concluded. Lauren nodded and smiled in agreement.

I don't have the exact numbers, but if I remember some of the calculations and accounting for inflation and maintenance fee increases, if you were to stay in a moderate studio for a week each year, the breakeven point was about 15 years.
Over the past couple of days my family has been in a huge debate on whether or not to buy into the DVC. After we did some research we came to the conclusion that with all of the fees, etc. it would end up costing us $80,000 over 50 years!!!!!!! We cant seem to figure out how this is worth it, but i was hoping that you guys (current DVC members) could help us figure out if it is really worth the $80,000 investment.
If you can dream it, you can do it. -Walt Disney
I don't have the exact numbers, but if I remember some of the calculations and accounting for inflation and maintenance fee increases, if you were to stay in a moderate studio for a week each year, the breakeven point was about 15 years.
Website work in progress: WDW Untangled: Fastpass+ - Rider Switch - ADR Calculator - Magic Your Way Ticket Price Calculator
Non-WDW: Sci-Fi Storm - SF/Fantasy news
I don't recall the numbers either, but we like staying at the deluxe resorts and feel that our membership has more than paid for itself. Also it offers us the opportunity to get out of the office more often. We go to WDW at least three times during the year and without the DVC membership we would only go every few years like we did prior to the membership.
Also, you find your own ways to make the most of your membership. It's not just FL or CA, but you can go to various cities and countries with Adventures by Disney. The membership is well worth it.
Good luck.
Tina Cole
The membership is incredibly flexible on when, where, how long you vacation, as well as, pretty affordable depending on how much you buy in. It helps edge inflation and you break even after 3-4 trips depending on how you vacation. There are a number of member perks and my husband and I love it. We definitely would recommend it.
Whether or not it is worth buying into DVC is a tough question. There are a lot of things which should play into your decision. For instance, if when you travel to WDW you are comfortable staying off property or at a value hotel then more than likely you will never see the payoff. When my wife and I were trying to decided we realized as much as we like to travel to other states/countries this won't really be possible, and still enjoy ourselves, with young children (our son is two). So we looked at WDW as a guaranteed vacation which would allow us to stay in deluxe accommodations at least once a year. Since we live in Georgia, we now realize we want to go at least twice a year and are looking at increasing our ownership and investing in an Annual pass. Once our kids get older we plan on using our points to trade out to RCI for other non-Disney locations (Oh the horror ) as well as the Cruises and Disney Adventures.
At the end of the day you have to base this decision on you and your families travel habits. DVC is not for everyone. Good luck in with your decision.
My parents are DVC members, and I tell them everytime we go that it was the best thing they ever bought!!! They bought it with the money that my grandfather left my dad when he passed away, and my mom had promised him that they would use it to travel, since my grandfather LIVED for his next vacation. However, i dont think he expected them to basically be guarenteed a vacation for the next 40 years or so! Its great to know that we will always have somewhere to go on vacation, and that doesnt just include WDW, but hundreds of other places around the world! It really is the best thing they ever did!
But, it really does depend on your family's traveling habits. If you dont plan on going on vacation at least once a year, then idk whether its truly justifiable. But if you do, trust me, it is well worth the investment!
DCP Fall 2012: Strollers/Main Entrance Merchandise, Magic Kingdom
Vacations to WDW: 20
Vacations to DL: 2
I bought into DVC as soon as I got my first full time job and it was the best investment ever! We used to go to Disney once every few years. Now we go on average, 2-5 weeks a year! Even though I love all the resorts, I of course would rather stay at a deluxe. With DVC we can stay at some of the nicest resorts without the high prices. Plus having the kitchenette or kitchen saves money on food and even if you're in a studio, laundry is free. DVC members get a lot of discounts, but the best one is the $100off annual passes. I totally think it's worth it

The emphasis these programs place on deploying a disciplined management system, combined with the relevant clinical best practices, sets DNV stroke certifications apart from other programs. This distinction is awarded when a hospital meets national standards and guidelines for improving clinical outcomes for stroke patients and exercises critical elements for long-term success in improving outcomes.
Emergency room physicians work with neurologists and an interventional neuroradiologist, board-certified and specialty trained in neurovascular disease, to quickly assess and treat acute stroke symptoms and emergency neurology care. Improved quality outcomes due to accurate and speedy assessments, and administering of tPA treatment on ischemic attacks can result in minimizing neurological damage and mortality risks - in effect preserving proper nervous system functions.Sentara Leigh Hospital cares for patients with a variety of neuroscience-related diseases and disorders including: Brain Tumors Carpal Tunnel Surgery Pain Management Spinal Surgery – Complex and Simple Stroke Diagnostic Services CT/CTA Carotid Doppler Studies EEG MRI/MRA Mobile PET Scan Educational Materials Available by calling Sentara Neurosciences at 1-877-310-8713..

In many workplace they always encourage junior network engineers to follow a Cisco certification path, either through the Routing and Switching path or other important technology paths such as network security and VoIP. I have been in this industry for more than a decade and I firmly believe that in order to succeed in the networking professional career one must earn relevant professional certifications.
Getting your Cisco CCNA Certification is perfectly sufficient to start with; don't be pushed into attempting your CCNP. After gaining experience in the working environment, you will have a feel for if it's relevant for you to have this next level up. If so, your experience will serve as the background you need to master your CCNP - which is quite a hard qualification to acquire - and mustn't be entered into casually.
Most network administrators and engineers are going to spend a lot more time troubleshooting than installing. That's just the way it is. And to troubleshoot effectively, you've got to know what's going on at all layers of the OSI model, not just layers 2 and 3.
As someone who's done a lot of hiring and conducted a great many job interviews, I can tell you that the ability to troubleshoot is the number one quality I look for. That's why I tell CCNA and CCNP candidates that they've got to get all the hands-on practice they can while I understand the importance of theory, the only way to develop troubleshooting ability is to work on the real deal. No simulator program
is going to teach you how to troubleshoot.

I am out of town and the emission control message came up on dashboard. Called the local Acura dealer. Tech said the P0420 code is usually for catalytic converter. Sounds expensive. Can I keep driving the vehicle without doing any damage to engine or fuel systems?
An automotive technician told me that on an AWD vehicle, you should replace all four tires, not just two at a time, as needed. Is this true?
Thinking of purchasing a 2008 Acura MDX w/Tech package. Reviewed the free Carfax report. In 5 years and 4 months since vehicle was purchased new, the battery has been replaced 4 times, the starter once, and the battery/charging system has been checked four times also. What could be the problem?
I have a 2005 Nissan Altima that has been through 7 winters. The undercarriage has a lot of rust, which has resulted in repair bills this year. Will the rust continue to get worse, since I now have the car in a warm weather state, or will it go into remission?
When I fill up with gas, the gauge only registers half full, but the tank is full. The dte shows 310 miles, but the gauge reads about half a tank left. This problem was intermittent, but with the last month it has gotten to be a regular weekly issue.

Basic Information
What is EPA doing?
EPA recognizes that farmers and ranchers in the southeast manage large parcels of rural lands. They make decisions each day about tillage practices and pesticide and nutrient use. As good stewards, farmers and ranchers have generally demonstrated their commitment to protect land and water resources and their way of life through voluntary programs and incentives for environmental stewardship.
Region 4 supports efforts to protect human health and the environment by working collaboratively with agriculture partners and by providing technical assistance and funding for innovative demonstration and applied research projects. When agricultural activities violate environmental regulations, EPA or our state partners take appropriate enforcement actions.
Why is agriculture important?
Agriculture is the largest land use in the Region 4 states with:
- 9.4 percent or 107 million acres in cropland,
- 12.9 percent or 147 million acres in pasture and hayfields, and
- 46.4 percent or 528 million acres in private and public forests.
Region 4 farmers and ranchers produce more chicken meat, catfish, thoroughbred horses, citrus, peanuts and sweet potatoes than any other region and are second in hog production. States in Region 4 also provide a wide range of other crops such as sugarcane, cotton, soybeans, pecans, turf grasses and horticultural products.
Over 1.47 million tons of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer (excluding manure) and 87,710 tons of pesticide active ingredients were applied to farms in Region 4 between 2001 and 2002.
What are the issues?
Agriculture production has been identified as having potential adverse impacts on surface and ground water quality and quantity, native ecosystems, air quality, land resources, and farm workers. In many cases, Region 4 recognizes that agricultural producers have taken significant steps to reduce these adverse impacts; however, challenges remain.
Improper agricultural production practices affect surface and ground water quality. Surface runoff from eroding fields can add sediments as well as nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus that degrade the water quality of nearby streams and rivers. Although pesticide use in the Southeast can produce beneficial results, increases in accidental exposure and misuse have also resulted in water quality problems. Livestock waste from animal feeding operations and associated spray fields can impair water quality and create odor problems.
Agricultural production uses large amounts of surface and ground water. In several parts of Region 4, the need for water to support agricultural production competes with other uses for potable water especially during drought conditions.
What can you do?
- Learn more about agriculture in general at EPA Ag 101.
- Find information about environmental requirements that affect the agricultural community at the National Agriculture Compliance Assistance Center.
- Learn about our partners in agriculture who are responsible for many programs that provide financial, technical and other support to minimize agriculture's impact on the environment
- Bring conservation principles from agriculture to your yard by practicing backyard conservation.

In anticipation of the upcoming 2012 D-Crit Conference, "Eventually Everything," Core77 is pleased to have the opportunity to explore the breadth of SVA's design criticism MFA program through a series of Q&As with a few members of the graduating class.
Derrick Mead will be presenting "Designing for Repair: Things Can Be Fixed" during the second panel of the day-long event, "Working/Not Working," on Wednesday, May 2nd. See the full schedule of events here.
Critical design is a contested territory, an often-nebulous arena of thought experiments fraught with equal parts moralizing and optimism. Some designers have co-opted the mantle of critical design for self-promotional or marketing purposes, muddying the waters further. In other cases, like at The Agency of Design in London, ambitious, idealistic young designers are tackling real problems in materials, energy, and waste with fully functional prototypes. This talk will analyze the Agency of Design's three toasters—the Realist, the Pragmatist, and the Optimist—and compare and contrast them with the work of other bold-face names in product design like Yves Behar's Aesir cell phone, and Oscar Narud's Keel tables. Themes in critical design such as designing for repair, designing for failure, and designing for "cradle-to-cradle" type life cycles will be considered with a special emphasis on explaining why these issues are frequently taken up by unique critical designs, prototypes, and small-run bespoke objects but only rarely dealt with in real-world, mass produced products.
Core77: Why D-Crit? Why Now?
Derrick Mead: DCrit is a culture—its students and faculty are people interested in thinking about the world in a similar way, albeit from lots of different points of view. I love things—materiality—but am constantly asking why?, and remain skeptical of 99% of the "stuff" humanity applies its time and money and resources to producing: design, art, everything. A lot of the "design world" is wrapped up in selling the stuff, or, at the very least, dependent on the stuff's continued sales, to keep earning livings. To me DCrit is important now because it provides a platform for burgeoning critics to sharpen their knives without bias of any kind. As much as we all have our preferred subject matter, the enthusiasm and support that exists within the DCrit program for writers remaining generalists is vital to viable popular design criticism.
Broken Rochester gauge
Is the notion of 'fixability' a corollary to the current trend of DIY culture, or vice versa, and why?
I'd say it's a often bit of both, at least in the sense that I'm hoping to get people thinking about repair. At the more technical end of the spectrum—Thingiverse as opposed to Etsy—quite a lot of the DIY that gets hyped is actually rather unfortunately materials-intensive and "-insensitive," in terms of things like adhesives, or plastics. The potential exists, however, in both traditionally craft-based and tech-enabled DIY, for people to get more involved with their existing belongings, and not just keep cranking out new things, regardless of how reclaimed, or how biodegradable. I especially like hipstomp's notion of "unpretty" DIY, which lowers barriers to entry for getting your hands dirty. People think in broad terms, like, "oh, I'm not a creative type," or "I wouldn't know where to begin, with my broken toaster," but with unpretty DIY in mind, we can all start to consider ourselves fixers. The tools and information you need to tackle repairing things, from clothes to appliances, have never been more easily accessible. I'm particularly excited about physical tool- and skill-shares like The Fixers Collective, in Brooklyn, and Techshop, which is expanding eastward from California, as well as online resources like Ifixit.
Agency of Design - The Optimist Toaster
Has your thesis research significantly changed your worldview?
My research reinforced my worldview, for better or worse.
What's next for you?
Aside from starting a full-time position as a creative recruiter for Wert & Co., I'm developing a curriculum that aims to get student industrial and product designers thinking about repair not only early in their careers, but early in their designs, as well.
Wooden Shovel c. 1870
Derrick Mead has dealt with implements and machines in every conceivable state of disrepair, from farms to kitchens to crawlspaces, and remains fascinated with how stuff gets fixed. He's worked in the past for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and Phillips de Pury and Company, and written for Metropolis, Architect's Newspaper, and Eric Fischl's America: Now and Here Foundation, among others. He is the recipient of the SVA MFA Design Criticism Henry Wolf Scholarship, and received a Barnabas McHenry Grant from the Open Space Institute. Derrick's research has definitively settled on the best toaster ever produced—the Sunbeam model T-20, 1949–1954.

Eventually Everything: The 2012 D-Crit Conference, featuring graduating students of the SVA MFA in Design Criticism, and moderated by Change Observer co-editor Julie Lasky, will take place on May 2, 2012 at the Visual Arts Theatre in New York City.
This year's conference is comprised of four themed panels, each introduced by keynote speakers, including media historian Stuart Ewen; Pentagram partner Michael Bierut; 2×4 founding partner Michael Rock; cultural historian Jeffrey Schnapp; and Interboro Partners principal Daniel D'Oca. Topics to be addressed include the absence of firearms in design collections, the persistence of an anti-ornament bias in architectural discourse, Main Street USA as rhetorical trope, and the need for designers to make repairable products.
This is the third D-Crit conference organized by, and featuring, graduating D-Crit students. Join us for a richly programmed afternoon of provocation, insight, and inspiration that aims to re-chart the future of design discourse. There is no charge for admission, so sign up today to save your seat.

Washington Capitals GM George McPhee on Alex Ovechkin joining Russia for the World Hockey Championship in Slovakia on May 5, via NHL.com:
"He's healthy now and he wants to play and I've never had a problem with players going to the World Championship if they want to play. If they buy in 100 percent and they're there because they want to play … not because they feel obligated because their country's asking them to play; they've got to want to play, and he wants to play, so we're fine with that."
Alex Ovechkin on joining Russia for the WHC:
"I talked to (Russian hockey federation) President (Vladislav) Tretiak and they asked me if I go and I said yes, I go. I don't want to go there but I will because I want to play in playoffs, win the Stanley Cup, but the situation is the situation and I'm going to play for my country and try to win gold."
Alex Ovechkin totaled no points in five games with Russia at the tournament.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Portsmouth business, its owner and wife were indicted Tuesday on 24 criminal charges for allegedly marketing and selling more than $2 million worth of cancer treatment products that have not been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration.
The indictment has accused James and Patricia Feijo, 66 and 55, respectively, and their company, Daniel Chapter One, of selling, marketing and distributing "unapproved health products and supplements," such as 7 Herb Formula, Bio Shark and GDU. It alleges that they did not submit marketing or investigational applications with the FDA as required by federal law.
The company website claims that 7 Herb Formula "fights tumor formation," and other products were characterized as "Daniel Chapter One's Cancer Solutions." It bills itself as "A Health & Healing Ministry of Yahweh."
J.D. Drew, the retired Boston Red Sox outfielder, is featured on a website, teamdc1.com, boasting about the benefits of taking "hundreds of GDU caps," to deal with inflammation on his patellar tendon. He said that he was experiencing side effects from Vioxx and other drugs.
"But with all the GDU I've taken, I haven't had a problem and I played the entire season without drugs," said Drew on the blog. "The Lord never intended for us to use drugs! You know the amazing thing is the fact that you can get off these drugs like Vioxx and Celebrex."
Drew played on the 2007 Red Sox club that won the World Series.
None of them are recognized as safe products to cure, prevent or treat cancer, according to the FDA. The federal authorities allege that the goods were sold through websites, in-store advertisements, a call center, the Feijos' daily radio program and through other promotional materials.
The indictment also alleges that from 2006 through 2011, James Feijo falsely told employees at Daniel Chapter One that they were independent contractors, while federal officials maintain that they were actually employees of the firm. Feijo is accused of failing to issue Internal Revenue Service Wage and Tax Statements, W-2 forms and accounting for employees' wages and taxes that were withheld.
"Daniel Chapter One paid employees through checks written out to cash; and that James Feijo, for at least 16 quarters, failed to collect, account for and pay over employment taxes owed to the government," the indictment states.
The Feijos will be arraigned in U.S. District Court at a date that has yet to be determined.
The indictment also accused Feijo of failing to file individual tax returns with the IRS for at least two years. The investigation was carried out by members of the FDA Task Force from the North Providence and East Providence police departments, Rhode Island State Police, Rhode Island National Guard and the IRS.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Terrence P. Donnelly and Jessica N. Moran, a trial attorney for the Justice Department's Tax Division.
It's not the first time that Daniel Chapter One has battled the federal authorities.
In April 2010, the company lost the first round of appeals after the Federal Trade Commission ordered the firm to stop advertising products as cancer treatments and to notify past customers that there was no solid evidence to support the company's claims to fight cancer.
A lawyer for Daniel Chapter One said at the time that the company is a Christian ministry and "understands the Word of God (is) to teach the use of natural products, not to use artificial drugs."
A lawyer for the Federal Trade Commission said Feijo's "deceptive marketing of 'cancer cures' places especially vulnerable consumers — those suffering from cancer — at grave risk of injury."
