This specification covers the physical requirements and testing of three types of lap cement for use with asphalt roll roofing. Type I is a brushing consistency lap cement intended for use in the exposed-nailing method of roll roofing application, and contains no mineral or other stabilizers. This type is further divided into two grades, as follows: Grade 1, which is made with an air-blown asphalt; and Grade 2, which is made with a vacuum-reduced or steam-refined asphalt. Both Types II and III, on the other hand, are heavy brushing or light troweling consistency lap cement intended for use in the concealed-nailing method of roll roofing application, only that Type II cement contains a quantity of short-fibered asbestos, while Type III cement contains a quantity of mineral or other stabilizers, or both, but contains no asbestos. The lap cements shall be sampled for testing, and shall adhere to specified values of the following properties: water content; distillation (total distillate at given temperatures); softening point of residue; solubility in trichloroethylene; and strength at indicated age.

If you're having a tough time getting consistent recipes, you should try weighing out each ingredient with this Ohaus kitchen scale. When ya weigh what you're putting into your mixes, you have a better chance of your recipes coming out the same each time. And the best part is...no more measuring cups! Just weigh your ingredient, set the scale back to zero, and weigh the next! This kitchen scale can handle up to eleven pounds of ingredients. This scale even works great for diet programs like Weight Watchers.
The tare button on the front of this digital diet scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This Add & Weigh feature sure is useful when ya want to use a bowl or tray to weigh your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.
If your application needs weights in the same unit of measurement, (like ounces for instance), it can be a real pain if your food scale always turns on ready to weigh in grams. It's a good thing the CL-2000 turns on displaying the unit of measurement you were using when ya turned it off.
If ya have ever had the batteries in something run out because you forgot to turn it off, you'll realize what a blessing this feature is. The Ohaus CL2000 will automatically turn off after a few moments of inactivity, saving battery power and money.
When ya get this compact scale, ya need to go over to the Ohaus website and register it to receive a one year warranty.

Holding his two-year-old son's hand, the 33-year-old music executive, did not seem to be too enthusiastic about the shopping extravaganza.
"He definitely was not excited to be shopping for home furnishings," an onlooker told RadarOnline.com. "He seemed a bit detached from the whole thing, even though he was asking the employees a lot of questions."

"He was focusing most of his attention on Max, who was bouncing around the store and trying to touch everything, in true toddler fashion. Even if he was looking at something or asking a question, he always had Max in his sight."

We have transitioned Ask Trevor into a broader, more effective resource for LGBTQ young people and their allies.
Please check out our new FAQ page here: http://TrevorSupportCenter.org
…I'm Closeted Still…
Hi. So. I've only told three people I'm bi and they understand. But I can't tell my homophobe parents. They'd flip. I want to tell so bad but I can't. I need a way to say it. Or should I just wait? I don't know and it confuses me so much.
Letter submitted by:
Hi Morgan, I'm glad you decided to reach out to The Trevor Project for help in this difficult time for you. Sometimes it can be very hard to open up to others about our deepest personal struggles, so you show tremendous bravery, not just for writing to us but for also telling your friends. You are especially brave for coming out to people at such a young age! I am very impressed. The tough situation you're in with your parents is not taken lightly by us and I sincerely hope I can help bring you some clarity.
Its wonderful that you've already opened up to some of your friends and that they are understanding. The most important thing you need when considering coming out to family is a strong support system. You've already passed some of the most difficult hurdles some LGBT people face, which is realizing and embracing who you are, and beginning to speak it aloud to others. I can also tell you are very strong because despite the fact that your parents are homophobic, it sounds like you embrace yourself anyway and you don't let their beliefs make you feel ashamed about your bisexuality. This is no small feat! Many people unfortunately go through a rough period of denial, repression, or self-aggression because they've let their parents' beliefs convince them that who they are is wrong. You are incredibly strong and resilient for embracing who you are in the kind of environment you're in.
I am deeply sorry that your parents are homophobic and that they've put you in a position where you're afraid to open up to them. My heart goes out to you, because you don't deserve any of that. Believe me when I say that you absolutely deserve acceptance and love for your bisexuality. I know exactly how you feel and I understand what you're going through. When you're still living at home, its common to experience a whole spectrum of emotions when you're around homophobic parents. Some of these include intense anger that they won't understand you, crippling fear of them finding out about you and the unknown of how they will react, and sadness that you can't be yourself in your own home. It can also be exhausting having to constantly monitor your life and tiptoe around them so that they won't find any hints about your sexuality, and having to hold back your frustration when they say or do homophobic things. It takes a heavy tole on your emotional well-being. What you are going through right now is not easy, but I assure you that it does not always have to be this way.
In regards to your question about coming out to your parents, unfortunately I can't tell you what the best thing to do is, because no matter how much you tell me about your parents or your life, you will always know your parents best. You grew up with them, so you will have the most accurate feeling about what to do and how they will react. Another reason I can't tell you what to do is because your decision relies almost entirely on what you desire, what your comfort level is, and how homophobic your parents really are. However, I can certainly help you in a big way. Below I will highlight some things to think about.
To help your decision, its important to get in touch with your gut feelings. What is your initial thought about how they will react? What is the most likely thing they will do? Will you be in danger? If they react badly, how permanent would those negative reactions be? Is there a possibility they would understand? Would they cut me off financially or would they just be upset? It could help to write these things down, and also write a "pros" and "cons" column. In the "pro" column, write the positives you think could come from telling them. In the "con" column, write the possible negative consequences. A con might be that they will yell at you, and a pro might be that you have a weight off your shoulders and you feel more confident (these are just examples). Look at both columns and see if it helps sway your decision. Also ask yourself, "where is a safe place I can go if they react badly? A friend's house?" "Who can I trust to make me feel better if I need support?" "Is there another trusted adult, like a teacher, I can go to for help?" "What ways can I cope if they are upset?" Asking all these questions will hopefully help you decide which one sounds more appealing, and also help you prepare in case things go wrong. Being prepared means knowing where you can go to feel safe, and who you can talk to. Being prepared will give you some ground under your feet if things don't go well.
It may not be the best decision to tell them, if you think they will their reaction will be harmful to your well-being. But remember that you can always look forward to coming out to them at a later time when you're more independent, if you feel like you can't tell them now.
It might also help to join TrevorSpace. TrevorSpace is an online community where you can talk to hundreds of other kids who are going through similar things you're going through. You can find more support and more advice through TrevorSpace if you need it. It might also help to see if there is an LGBT center near you. Check out this: LGBT centers. Also check out this guide to coming out to your parents. You can find some very helpful suggestions there. Also please look at this guide for dealing with homophobic parents. Please call 866.488.7386 if you are in crisis or need someone to talk to, and don't hesitate to write to us again if you need more help.
Remember that no matter what happens, your feelings are completely normal and natural. Don't let anyone make you feel ashamed of being bisexual. Don't let any religion tell you to be someone you're not. You are who you are, and you are special, Morgan.

To the Person Sitting in Darkness
"To the Person Sitting in Darkness" is an essay by American humorist Mark Twain published in the North American Review in February 1901. It is a satire critiquing imperialism as revealed in the Boxer Uprising and its aftermath, the Boer War, and the Philippine-American War expressing his anti-Imperialist views. It mentions the historical figures Emilio Aguinaldo, William McKinley, Joseph Chamberlain, William Scott Ament and others, and fueled the Twain-Ament Indemnities Controversy.
Mark Twain, was 'an outspoken critic of American involvement in the Philippines and China',[1] and "one of the mammoth figures in anti-imperialism, and certainly the foremost anti-imperialist literary figure",[2] having become in January 1901 a vice president of the Anti-Imperialist League of New York.[3] James Smylie explains the controversy: "Twain went after the respected Congregationalist minister, Reverend William Scott Ament, director of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Ament joined other powers in seeking indemnities from the Chinese after the Boxer Rebellion against western exploitation in 1900. Twain, perhaps unfairly, was shocked that Ament would use such blood money for the "propagation of the Gospel" and to promote the "blessings of civilization" to brothers and sisters who "sit in darkness." He summoned to missionaries: Come home and Christianize Christians in the states!"[4]
According to Twain biographer Albert Bigelow Paine, "Twain, of course, was fiercely stirred. The missionary idea had seldom appealed to him, and coupled with this business of bloodshed, it was less attractive than usual. He printed the clippings in full, one following the other; then he said:
By happy luck we get all these glad tidings on Christmas Eve—just the time to enable us to celebrate the day with proper gaiety and enthusiasm. Our spirits soar and we find we can even make jokes; taels I win, heads you lose.
The title of the article is "an ironic reference to Matthew 4:16 — "The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light"",[3] "and used by the Christian missionaries when referring to the "savage," "heathen," "uncivilized" populations of the lands the imperialists were conquering."[5] It was also a reaction to the intervention philosophy of British writer Rudyard Kipling's pro-imperialistic February 1899 poem."The White Man's Burden",[6] The title was "a play upon the idea of western civilization being "enlightened." Kipling had used the image when he wrote of the:
The cry of those ye humor (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:-- 'Why brought ye us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?'[6]
"Without any doubt 'To the Person Sitting in Darkness' is Twain's most famous anti-imperialist piece. The satire is incredibly dark and Twain does not hesitate to taunt those whom he considers to be immoral including McKinley as the "Master of the Game," the missionaries, and the trusts."[7] Zwick describes it as "an acid indictment of the brutalities the British, French, German, Russian and American capitalist governments were committing all over the world."[8] According to Susan Harris:
"To the Person Sitting in Darkness," which Mark Twain published in the North American Review in 1901, attacks Western imperialism as it was manifesting itself in South Africa, China, Cuba, and the Philippines. It names its villains – [William] McKinley, Joseph Chamberlain, the Kaiser, the Czar – and their instruments, especially the Reverend William Scott Ament, a Congregationalist minister who was affiliated with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.[9]
"Twain lampooned missionary morality and likened it to questionable American activities in the Philippines".[10] According to Foner, Twain used the conduct of Ament to "drive home the point that the missionary movement served as a front for imperialism.[2]
"He went on to score Ament, to compare the missionary policy in China to that of the Pawnee Indians, and to propose for him a monument— subscriptions to be sent to the American Board. He denounced the national policies in Africa, China, and the Philippines, and showed by the reports and by the private letters of soldiers home, how cruel and barbarous and fiendish had been the warfare made by those whose avowed purpose was to carry the blessed light of civilization and Gospel "to the benighted native"—how in very truth these priceless blessings had been handed on the point of a bayonet to the "Person Sitting in Darkness." Mark Twain never wrote anything more scorching, more penetrating in its sarcasm, more fearful in its revelation of injustice and hypocrisy, than his article "To the Person Sitting in Darkness." He put aquafortis on all the raw places, and when it was finished he himself doubted the wisdom of printing it.[11]
In Europe and Elsewhere (1923), Twain's literary executor, Albert Bigelow Paine, altered "To the Person Sitting in Darkness," a work that Twain himself had seen through the press, by removing the controversial section on William Ament and the indemnities issue in China in the aftermath of the Boxer Uprising.[12]

Author Guidelines
The Editorial Board of the ANZ Journal of Surgery invites authors to submit articles for publication on any aspect of surgery. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to refuse publication or to edit articles according to the requirements of the Journal. Manuscripts that are approved for publication may appear as print and/or digital content.
Editorials are commissioned by the Editor-in-Chief from members of the Editorial Board. They usually occupy one page of the Journal i.e. about 800 words (minus 250 words for an illustration and 35 words for each reference).
Perspectives are welcome on any topic. They can be overview statements, personal views, or studies based on surveys. Perspectives should contain a tight linear argument and be more than just a mini-review. They should contain about 1,000 words (minus 250 words for an illustration and 35 words for each reference). Abstracts are not required (type 'n/a' in the Abstract box). Perspectives are evaluated by the Editors and may not be subjected to peer review.
Original Articles
Original articles are welcome on any aspect of surgery, including the basic surgical sciences. The text is preceded by a structured abstract. Original articles are subjected to peer review.
Original articles should follow the IMRAD format (Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion). Subheadings may also be used to clarify the content. The Introduction must briefly outline the context of the study and justify its performance. End by stating the aim of the study and identify any pre-specified subgroup analyses. In the Methods section describe the techniques and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the study. Describe new or substantially modified methods, give reasons for using them, and declare their limitations. Clearly identify the numbers of animals, subjects, or patients. The Methods section should include only information that was available before the start of the study: information obtained during the conduct of the study belongs in the Results section. Present your results in a logical sequence; and repeat that sequence throughout the text, tables, and illustrations. Only emphasize the main findings in the text when data are presented in tables or illustrations. In the Discussion emphasize the important findings, limitations of the study, implications of the findings in the context of other relevant studies, and your conclusions. The conclusions should relate to the aims of the study and must be supported by the results.
Original articles must have a structured abstract of less than 250 words (include a word count at the end of the abstract). Abstracts are the only part of the article indexed in many electronic databases, and they are the only part of the article that many readers access, so it is particularly important that authors construct abstracts with great care. Abstracts should follow the IMRAD format (Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion) and must be free of non-standard abbreviations or references. Include a description of the study design: appropriate terms include 'clinical trial', 'cohort study', 'case-control study', 'structured review', 'retrospective clinical study', and 'retrospective review of prospectively collected data'. There must be no ambiguity about whether the study concerns animals or patients.
Original articles - including allowances for figures and tables - must not exceed five pages (or approx. 4000 words, including figures/references) when printed in the journal. Authors should make estimates of the length of their manuscripts by referring to similar articles in recent issues of the journal - each page contains about 800 words, a typical illustration occupies the same space as 250 words, and the average length of each reference is about 35 words. Include a word count of the text (minus the references) at the end of the abstract. Original articles that exceed five journal pages may be subjected to editing when the page proofs are supplied to the authors.
Review Articles
Review Articles are welcome on any aspect of surgery, including the basic surgical sciences. Systematic reviews must have a structured abstract (as per original articles), whilst narrative reviews may have an unstructured abstract that is less than 250 words. (include a word count at the end of the abstract). Review articles - including allowances for figures and tables - must not exceed six pages (or approx. 4800 words, including figures/references) when printed in the journal. Authors should make estimates of the length of their manuscripts by referring to similar articles in recent issues of the journal - each page contains about 800 words, a typical illustration occupies the same space as 250 words, and the average length of each reference is about 35 words.

Review articles that exceed six journal pages may be subjected to editing when the page proofs are supplied to the authors. Review Articles are subjected to peer review.
Images for Surgeons
Images for Surgeons should contain a brief case report followed by a discussion. They should contain about 750 words, up to 10 references, no headings, and up to three high-quality illustrations each displaying different aspects of the case. Where appropriate, use labels/arrows to indicate the abnormalities in supplied images to orientate the reader. Abstracts are not required (type 'n/a' in the Abstract box). Images for Surgeons are evaluated by the Editors and may not be subjected to peer review.
Letters to the Editor
Letters may be submitted to the Editor on any topic, including case reports, but letters commenting on papers published in recent issues of the Journal are most welcome. Such Letters must include the article reference in the title, e.g., 'Concerns about natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RE: ANZ J Surg 2010, 80: 397-9)'. Timely discussions are promoted by publishing selected letters on the 'Opinions' page of ANZJSurg.com before they appear in the print journal. Letters contain up to 300 words without headings, no more than one illustration, and up to four references. Published correspondence may be edited for length, grammatical correctness, and journal style. Authors will be asked to approve editorial changes that alter the substance or tone of a letter.
Media Reviews
Media Reviews may be submitted to the Editors about any material of interest to surgeons that appears in either print or a digital format. Book reviews are often commissioned by the Editors. Media Reviews contain up to 600 words. There must be full disclosure of any potential conflict of interest.
How to Do It

Clinical trials
Clinical trials should be clearly identified as such in the title and abstract. A clinical trial is any study that prospectively assigns humans into groups to study the relationship between an intervention and a clinical outcome. Clinical trials should adhere to the guidelines outlined in the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) statement http://www.consort-statement.org and all manuscripts must include a flow chart showing the progress of patients through the trial. Trials that started after 1 January 2008 must be registered in one of several free and publicly accessible electronically searchable databases such as the one administered by the USA National Library of Medicine (NLM), which is located at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. The trial registration number must be listed at the end of the structured abstract.
Systematic reviews
All systematic reviews of clinical trials must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the MOOSE report by the CONSORT Group http://www.consort-statement.org/resources/downloads/other-instruments/. Authors should include a section describing the methods used for locating, selecting, extracting, and synthesizing data. Authors are also encouraged to use subheadings in the main text of the manuscript. The structured abstract should have the following sections: Background, Objectives, Data sources, Review methods, Results, and Conclusions.
Document the specific objectives of the study and identify the main endpoints. Explain and justify how the sample size was determined in experiments, clinical trials, case-control studies and cohort studies.
Report results to a level of precision commensurate with their scientific or clinical relevance. For example, report mean blood pressure without decimal places. Avoid over-precision by restricting the use of decimal places. Provide the numbers in the numerator and denominator when stating a percentage.
Describe the central tendency and dispersion of continuous measurements. Use the mean (standard deviation) for measurements that approximate the normal distribution; and, only use the mean (standard error of the mean) when estimating the precision of the observed mean. For other continuous measurements use the median value and percentiles - such as the inter-quartile range and the absolute range. Avoid any ambiguity about the numbers of observations.
Describe the analyses in enough detail to enable readers with access to the original data to verify the results. Ensure that the data satisfy the assumptions of the chosen statistical tests. Provide references for techniques not in common usage and include a brief explanation. Document the name and source of any commercial statistical computer packages that were used to calculate the results.
Appreciate that statistical significance tests show whether or not an effect could be due to chance and do not indicate the biological or clinical importance of any observed differences. Comment on the magnitude of the chief differences between the groups. Declare the level of statistical significance (usually P < 0.05) and state whether this refers to a one- or two-sided probability. Report the value of the test statistic and the actual P value, for instance P = 0.04, not P < 0.05. Make allowance for multiple comparisons by adjusting the P value, for instance by the Ryan-Holm stepwise Bonferroni procedure or the Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate. Generally, though within reason, report confidence intervals as well as P values.
Correlation coefficients provide a summary of the linear association between two quantitative variables. They measure the association between independent variables and should never be used to measure agreement (concordance): correlation coefficients must never be used when comparing different methods of measuring the same variable.
Take particular care, and consider obtaining professional advice, when performing multivariable analyses and estimating survival. Survival curves must be accompanied by a declaration of the numbers of patients involved in each analysis and should be truncated when the numbers at risk are small; that is, when they are less than one-third of the starting figure.
Qualitative research
Qualitative research may be difficult to fit into the IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion) format. It is sometimes best to present the results and discussion together for each theme, and the structured abstract can be adjusted accordingly. Incorporate direct quotes from participants into tables whenever appropriate.
Please write in a clear, concise and direct style. Manuscripts should be intelligible to the professional reader who is not a specialist in the particular field. The Editor reserves the right to modify manuscripts in order to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and to improve communication between author and reader. If extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will either be rejected or returned to the author for revision. The Journal uses UK spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary.
Please note:
● All measurements must be given in SI units (excepting blood pressures, which should be given in mmHg)
● Numbers under 10 are spelt out, except for: measurements with a unit (8mmol/l); age (6 weeks old), or lists with other numbers (11 dogs, 9 cats, 4 gerbils)
● Abbreviations should only be used where they ease the reader's task by reducing repetition of long, technical terms. Initially use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter use the abbreviation only. Abbreviations should be avoided in 'Editorials' and 'Perspectives'
● At the first mention of a chemical substance, give the generic name only. When quoting specific materials, software, equipment and proprietary drugs the name and address of the manufacturer must be given in parentheses
● Footnotes to the text are not allowed and such material must be incorporated into the text as parenthetical matter
● Submissions must be doubled-spaced
● Top, bottom and side margins should be at least 20 mm
● Number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page
● Indent new paragraphs and do not use the Enter key at the end of lines within a paragraph
● Turn the hyphenation option off. Include hyphens only where they are essential to the meaning
● Specify any special characters used to represent non-keyboard characters. Take care not to use l (ell) for 1 (one), O (capital o) for 0 (zero) or ß (German esszett) for β (Greek beta)
● Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text
● Tables should be cited consecutively in the text and should be numbered using Arabic numerals
● Each table should be presented on a separate page at the end of the main document file, with a comprehensive but concise legend above the table
● Tables should be double-spaced, and should not contain internal lines
● Do not use tabs or spaces to separate data points in tables. Each data point must be contained within a unique cell
● Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses. All abbreviations should be defined in footnotes
● For footnotes, use the following symbols, in sequence: †, ‡, §, ||, ¶, ††, ‡‡ (*, **, *** should be reserved for P values)
● Identify statistical measures of variation, such as standard deviation and standard error of the mean
● Illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures
● All figures should be in colour (the journal accepts colour illustrations and photographs free of charge)
● Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text using Arabic numerals
● Insert easily seen arrows or letters to identify entities (they should be bold and in colour)
● Photographs should be submitted as high resolution files (at least 300 d.p.i.)
● Photographic images should be provided as .tif files. Provide the figures in their original format where possible. Any accompanying text (figure legends etc.) should be included separately at the end of the main text file. Do not embed photographic images in Word or PowerPoint documents
● Wherever possible, line figures (graphs and drawings) should be provided as .eps files. If this is not possible, figures should be supplied in their original format. For example, line figures designed in Excel or PowerPoint should be submitted as such, and not embedded in Word (.doc) files
● Legends must be submitted for all figures, and should be included at the end of the text. They should be self-explanatory and incorporate definitions of symbols. Abbreviations and units of measurement should be explained so that the figure and its legend are understandable without reference to the text. Indicate the stains used in histopathology. Identify statistical measures of variation, such as standard deviation and standard error of the mean
● Photomicrographs and electron micrographs must have internal scale markers

Authors must comply with 'Best Practice Guidelines on Publication Ethics: A Publisher's Perspective' at http://www.wiley.com/bw/publicationethics/. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all material submitted for publication complies with the principles detailed in these guidelines. No manuscript will be accepted for publication unless it conforms to the ethical guidelines that are currently accepted in Australia and New Zealand. It is the author's responsibility to demonstrate beyond doubt that research has been performed in an ethical manner. If there is any doubt about the ethical standards of a study, the manuscript will not be accepted for publication.
Contributorship policy
An author is someone who has made a substantial intellectual contribution to the study. The Editors believe that those with a peripheral association with the work should simply be acknowledged. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. Identify who is responsible for the integrity of the work as a whole. i.e., the main author. If a paper has more than five authors, the inclusion of each name must be justified in the covering letter. Results of multicentre studies may be reported under the name of the organizing group.
Simultaneous submissions
The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are simultaneously being considered by other journals. Occasionally, editors of different journals may knowingly agree to jointly publish selected articles because of the need for wide coverage. Examples include publication guidelines and important recommendations on public health. It is the responsibility of authors to ensure that two or more journals do not unknowingly publish the same article.
Redundant/duplicate publication
Redundant, or duplicate, publication occurs when a paper is published that overlaps substantially with one that has already been published in either print or the electronic media. An article is reviewed for publication on the assumption that its contents have not been submitted simultaneously to another journal, have not been accepted for publication elsewhere and have not already been published.
The Journal will consider manuscripts that have been rejected by another journal, that follow the publication of preliminary findings in the form of an abstract, or that provide supplementary information about a large complex study.
References must be provided for all publications that relate to the manuscript under consideration. In addition, copies of any possibly duplicate published material should be submitted with a statement in the covering letter explaining why the manuscript under consideration is not a duplicate publication. This includes articles in press or under consideration by another journal.
Any attempt at dual publication will lead to automatic rejection, may prejudice acceptance of future submissions, and may be highlighted within the pages of the Journal.
Conflict of interest
Authors must also declare any financial support or relationships that may pose conflict of interest. They must acknowledge the source of financial grants and other funding, including a frank declaration of the authors' industrial links and affiliations. The contribution of colleagues or institutions should also be acknowledged.
Human ethics
All studies involving humans, or human tissue, must have approval from a human ethics committee. The responsible ethics committee must be compliant with accepted standards such as the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki in 1975 (revised in 2004), available at http://www.wma.net. This approval must be declared in the Methods section of the paper with inclusion of the name of the committee. In addition, patient anonymity must be preserved at all times. The Journal will not publish pictures that identify patients unless the authors submit evidence of written consent from the patient or a legal guardian.
Animal ethics
Animal experiments must have approval from an animal ethics committee that complies with the prevailing standards in Australia and New Zealand. This approval must be declared in the Methods section of the paper, with inclusion of the name of the committee or relevant body.
Use of copyright material
Authors must submit written permission from the copyright owner (usually the publisher) to use direct quotations, tables, or illustrations that have appeared elsewhere in copyrighted form. Any permission fees paid to copyright owner are the responsibility of the authors using the borrowed material. In the manuscript, authors must declare complete details about the source of all copyright material.

It ranks as a pinnacle of "anti-Thanksgiving" TV programming.
As people around the country on Wednesday will be settling into, or just arriving at, their family holiday destinations, Investigation Discovery (ID) will premiere My Brother the Serial Killer. The documentary examines claims by Florida Death Row serial killer Glen Rogers that he was the one who murdered Ronald Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.
Alongside a statement of condemnation from the Goldman family, TheWrap's Tim Molloy spoke with ID CEO Henry Schleiff. Sounds like he's already sidestepping the controversy to come:
Schleiff said the documentary only offered an alternate theory of the murders, and didn't make any conclusions. "What we really want to do at ID is to sometimes raise a story like this and let you make a decision," he said. "If you think about it, the fact that years layer there has been no conviction for that murder makes it one of the great mysteries of our generation."
Be that as it may, there's no good reason to premiere something like this on the cusp of Thanksgiving 2012.

Important events as reported by daily newspapers and summarized by Daedalus Howell.
Wednesday 01.03.01
Petaluma's ArgusCourier.com reports that police took into custody a woman occupying a downtown doorway "with grass and twigs in her hair and clothing, talking about suicide." No word why the fuzz targeted the outdoor production of A Midsummer's' Night Dream, but the production flagged without the actress who was portraying the mercurial woodland fairy Puck ("Pretty soul! She durst not lie near this lack-love, this kill-courtesy"). Several members of the awestruck audience were charged with loitering.
Thursday 01.04.01
An apparent group of student vandals qua asbestos-abatement vigilantes rained righteous terror upon Terra Linda High School by breaking into the main hall and turning on a faucet that soaked 14 classrooms, a computer lab, and the library, according to the Marin Independent Journal. "I don't want to believe it was one of our kids," said Principal Biff Barnes, in utter denial. "I just desperately want to find out who did this and punish them as completely as the law would allow." Investigators believe the culprits entered the school through a window, thereby eluding an apparently useless security system. They then entered a second-floor utility closet, hooked a hose to the faucet in the sink, and cranked up the spigot, where the hose remained until neighbors reported flooding out of the school. The water has seeped under asbestos tiles in the library and hallway, spurring their removal (boo-hoo--we can't have soggy cancer-causing agents on school grounds, now can we?).
Saturday 01.06.01
Santa Rosa officials shut down fast-food restaurant the China Inn after police witnessed dumping of grease, cooking oil, and food waste into the city's storm-water system. The restaurant's corporate president, Claude Alexandre, blamed the dumping on morally deficient "low-level, minimum-wage employees" (gotta love those corporate types). "I don't know why it's a big thing," he told the Press Democrat. It's a big thing, Claude, because the underground drain eventually flows to the Russian River and would fuck up the city's wastewater-dumping. Environmental inspectors have not documented the damage to fish, but are certain the creatures are nonplussed by the Chinese food detritus.
Saturday 01.06.01
That two-headed hydra of investigative prowess cleaved from the San Rafael Police Department and the FBI say there's a "strong possibility" that a man who recently robbed a downtown San Rafael bank, unaided by any order of disguise, might also have robbed another bank three blocks away last November, reported the Marin Independent Journal. The bureau's Special Agent Andrew Black agreed: "There is a strong possibility that it's the same guy." In both cases, Black said, the robber waited in line and approached a teller without a mask or other disguise, quietly demanded money, and bailed. The suspects in both cases were described by witnesses as white, middle-aged, about 5-foot-9, 150 pounds, and wearing a denim jacket and a baseball cap embroidered across which was the tell-tale epitaph "I am a bank robber." This is why agent Black is "special."
Sunday 01.07.01
The big bad wolves at Philip Morris are trying to huff and puff and blow smoke in the eyes of Terra Linda High School students, reports the IJ. The manufacturer of Marlboro, Virginia Slims, and lung cancer delivered a raft of book covers to the Marin County school as part of its "youth smoking prevention effort." Critics contend the book covers are riddled with subliminal images touting the pleasures of smoking. One design depicts a young man on a snowboard with clouds and mountains in the background. But the red-tipped snowboard looks suspiciously like a cigarette, and the clouds look like smoke. "Young people will recognize the fact that when you look at the picture, it looks like a cigarette," said Jennie Cook, chairwoman of the state Tobacco Education Oversight Committee and a member of the Marin Tobacco Coalition. "It is putting a cigarette in front of them and making it look glamorous." A 1998 law forbids the marketing of tobacco products to minors. But the use of "smoke and mirrors" in cigarette advertising apparently remains legal.
Sunday 01.07.01
In a tragic spin on their HeatWave Bag pizza delivery promotion ("crisper crust, bubbling cheese, and hotter toppings"), 40-year-old Napa Domino's employee Martin Berg was arrested for arson and two counts of cruelty to animals after allegedly setting a kitten on fire. "It was shocking that somebody could do this to an animal and just walk away from it," Napa Police Cpl. Kirk Premo said to the Napa Valley Register (vs. lighting it on fire and stomping it out?). The suspect allegedly "took the cat out of the truck, poured charcoal lighter fluid on it, and lit the cat on fire," Premo said. The kitten was found alive and taken to a veterinarian, who was unable to save it. Bad Andy. Bad Martin, too.

Book of the Month
Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences, Judith A. Reisman, Ph.D., The Institute for Media Education, 1998, 323 pps., $24.95.
Dr. Reisman's important book exposes in detail the fraudulent and criminal sex "research" conducted by Indiana University zoologist Alfred C. Kinsey. Kinsey's publication of Sexual Behavior in the Human Male in 1948 made him the undisputed authority on human sexuality. Sexual Behavior in the Human Female followed in 1953, and the supposedly "scientific" material in these two volumes earned Kinsey the title "father of the American sexual revolution."
Crimes and Consequences is the culmination of 30 years of research by Dr. Reisman. She documents how Kinsey collected data on "child sexuality" from what he called "scientific observers" who were actually pedophiles. More than 2,000 children (some of them infants) were victims of sexual experimentation in absolute secrecy, and Reisman shows how "this deception was carefully nurtured and maintained by the Kinsey Institute, Indiana University, the National Research Council, and the Rockefeller Foundation."
The book also exposes the fraud in Kinsey's research involving adults. Most of his adult subjects were prison inmates and sex offenders. When normal interviewees denied engaging in deviant sexual acts, the "researchers" either disregarded the data or only recorded answers that they determined were "truthful."
While Dr. Reisman's revelations about the child molestation by the Kinsey Institute are shocking, the widespread consequences of Kinsey's "research" are just as disturbing. His "far-reaching legal legacy" includes the altering of America's sex crime and obscenity laws, which opened the door to attacks on traditional marriage and morality.
Kinsey's "findings" have been proven bogus by honest research, but they are nonetheless the basis for nearly all sex and AIDS education programs in the schools. Reisman shows how a myriad of social ills, including sex crimes, sexually transmitted diseases, illegitimacy, psychological disorders, divorce, and suicide have resulted from Kinsey's crimes.

If you turn them all into minor seventh chords, it will be dead accurate

Southern writers have a unique talent for feel, touch, smell, and taste that doesn t seem to exist anywhere else. Truman Capote had this extraordinary gift. So did Flannery O Connor, Eudora Welty, Carson McCullers, and Tennessee Williams among others. They felt the snow, smelled the honeysuckle, heard the wind through the loblolly pines, tasted the sweet tea. And they got it down on paper with a wrenching sensitivity that turned into literature. Diane Ladd has it, too as an actress, as a humanitarian, and as a writer of prose that makes cracker barrel talk as down-home unpretentious as a buttermilk biscuit suddenly sound downright patrician. The characters in these stories laugh, cry, bleed and leave behind a legacy not easily forgotten. They come from Mississippi towns called Meridian, Poplarville, and Tupelo, and end up in cities called Chicago, San Francisco, and Manhattan, but no matter how they learn or lose or love, they never cease to cherish a Porsche 911 GT2 or a cold bottle of Orange Crush with equal relish. Diane Ladd is one of them. From the Mississippi Delta to Broadway and Hollywood, she has forgotten nothing and retained everything. What a thrill to read what she knows in the words of characters as rich and colorful as fields of sunflowers: a man whose homophobia backfires because he s wearing an orange jacket, a garden that flourishes from the bodies of mercury-poisoned miners in the cemetery underneath, a statuesque mulatto on her first day at Juilliard. You can t learn this stuff in a writing class. You absorb the stories you hear, hold them close, stamp them in your memory. Then on a bad afternoon for a piece of cake, you write them down and tell them to the world, the way they were told to you. And you become a Southern writer, on your way to a new adventure. How blessed we are to share this one with Diane Ladd.
Diane's scheduled Book Signings for "A Bad Afternoon for A Piece of Cake are at present as follows:

But I just wanted to be totally honest with you. Because don't you hate when you read a recipe, or food blog post, and some skinny bitch is telling you that her chocolate truffles made out of beans taste EXACTLY like a real chocolate truffle? And then you excitedly make them, taste them and come to the disappointing conclusion that Mrs. Skinny probably hasn't had a real chocolate truffle since she was five and therefore is lying to all of us real food eaters. So honestly, this pie tastes like a very delicious, healthy raw chocolate pie...with bananas. It tastes like a chocolate banana raw pie, healthy style. Make sense? (I will NEVER lie to you, people.)
My husband loved it. LOVED it. There were groans and a couple 'how did you make this?!', which is always much appreciated, though I was a bit harder on the pie (and myself), but I figured it was a great success since he was the one I made it for. It was his Valentine's Day present that I gave to him early. I've always made a special (usually chocolate) dessert for him/us for Valentine's Day but this year, at the current moment, we've both been feeling a bit more cleansed and health conscience so I thought I'd experiment with some healthy desserts for the occasion.
And I'm glad that I did. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to make this pie work. Oh, did I mention there's no sugar involved? None. Zilch. Nada. It's sweetened by fruit and held together by nuts and more fruit. It was like a fun, little science project and I'm totally happy that I did it.
Oh, and (cover your ears, Vegans) if you want a knock down, drag out, chocolate dessert option for V Day that is super easy to make and guaranteed to have you looking like a rock star, try my Chilled Chocolate Torte with Walnut Pretzel Crust. Chocolate, cream and butter never tasted so good.
(OK now, (clap, clap), Vegans awake!) Here you go, people- A naturally sweetened, healthy chocolate banana pie that will make your tummy oh-so-happy. No lie.
*Raw and Vegan Chocolate (and Banana...) Pie
First, place 1 (14-15 oz) can of FULL FAT coconut milk in the fridge, do not open it, do not shake it. This, in several hours, will become thick enough to mimic whipped cream to top the pie.
Now you need to soak your cashews so they become soft and blendable and become the backbone of the pie...
-Soak 2 cups of raw cashews in enough water to cover them for at least 6 hours, but overnight is fine. The water may turn a purpley-grey color, but that's ok. (You can drain them and store the soaked nuts in the fridge if you aren't making the pie right away.)
Now make your crust...
-In a food processor combine 1 rounded cup of raw walnuts, 1 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes/shredded coconut and 1/2 tsp of kosher salt + a pinch. (note-if you decide to use the sweetened coconut, found in most grocery stores, know that it is sweetened with corn syrup and therefore cannot be 'raw', but I would recommend upping the salt amount to 3/4 tsp to offset the sweetness. Also if you need a sweeter crust, feel free to add agave to taste but I don't mind the more salty than sweet crust that the basic recipe brings.)
-Process til smooth and moist.
-Press into the bottom and up the sides of an UN-greased pie plate and set aside while you make your filling.
-OR if you want to make the crust several days in advance (I made mine a week prior!), then first chill completely, then cover it with plastic wrap and nestle another smaller pie plate inside so you have a protective layer and can stack things on top of it if need be.
For the filling...
-In the same food processor (no need to clean it out if you're doing it all on the same day!) place your 2 cups of soaked and drained cashews, 1 1/2 cups of deglet noor* dates (8-9 ounces), 1/4 rounded cup raisins (2 oz), 2 ripe bananas, 1 ripe avocado, 1/2 cup of coconut cream/milk/creamer, 1/4 cup + 2 TB of dark cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, a good splash of vanilla extract and 1 tsp of instant espresso powder.
-There will be visible air bubbles, but there should be no lumps. This can take a few minutes to accomplish so be patient. (And taste it now. If you absolutely can't stand the fact that it isn't as sweet as a 'real' chocolate pie, then add some agave or honey or your sweetener of choice. I was just determined to make another pie with no added sugars.)
-Spread the filling mixture evenly over your prepared and chilled crust. Place in the fridge to harden a bit for a couple hours, but overnight is fine if need be.
again, it looks lumpy but what you're seeing are air bubbles |
-Once your can of coconut milk has been in the fridge for at least 5 hours, you can open it and scoop out the firm top part into a bowl, leaving the coconut water behind. DO NOT SHAKE THE CAN! (For a more detailed tutorial on this check out my Coconut Scone post.) With an electric beater or whisk, beat the coconut cream with a splash of vanilla extract until fluffy. (If you want a sweeter 'cream', then add your sweetener of choice to achieve what you're looking for. There is a natural, very slight sweetness to coconut cream that I enjoy but you do what suits your taste buds.)
-Spread the whipped coconut cream evenly over the pie filling, making little peaks with your spatula. Refrigerate for a couple hours before serving.
-Serve chilled.
(*note on Deglet Noor Dates-this is often the most common variety of dates found in grocery stores and health food stores. They are the smaller sized ones, used by commercial dried fruit companies, but can also be found in bulk at health food stores. The type you see in the produce department are called Medjool dates and they are much larger and more moist. Those would also work too, although they are generally more expensive.)

Who Pays the Bill?
Hi Elephants!
Greetings from the Netherlands! An amazing/ inspiring/ engaging/ wonderful teacher I have here at school passed along this video clip to us tourism nerds the other day, and I thought you all might like it too.
The clip poses an interesting question… Who pays for your vacation? For your steaks? For driving your car? They are new ideas or new questions by any means, but I really enjoy the way they're presented here.
I hope you all do too!
Loved it? Leave a tip!

Nice. Kinda hammers home the true cost of things.
