Pangasinan firm produces veggie-based snacks to solve malnutrition
More News from Gabriel Cardiñoza
popular .
STA. BARBARA, Pangasinan—When local businessman Racky Doctor was asked two years ago if he would like to venture into food manufacturing, he did not hesitate to take up the challenge.
To him, the offer was a rare opportunity to expand his thriving water disinfectant business and at the same time support an advocacy that promotes proper nutrition among children.
The offer came from the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the products were snack food for children 2 years old and above and a food blend for babies 6 to 24 months old, both made from rice and mongo grains.
The project was part of DOST's science and technology-based intervention program to address malnutrition among children in the country.
"They were talking about the big need for entrepreneurs to help solve malnutrition in the country. I saw the need for participation. And since I was passionate about making new products, especially food, I grabbed that opportunity," Doctor says.
An FNRI-DOST study states two of 10 Filipino children up to 5 years old are underweight for their age and three of 10 are short for their age.
But Doctor would find out much later that putting up a food manufacturing plant would cost him a fortune, which he did not readily have at that time.
Under the scheme, FNRI-DOST would provide the technology and the formula for the products while he would put up the plant and the capital to jumpstart the business.
"It took me a lot of guts and courage to pool the needed capital because the [cost of the] machinery alone was no joke," Doctor says. He says he had to sell property in Kalinga, borrow money from a bank and bring out his savings to raise at least P10 million.
"It's good I already have the buildings for Hyposol. I just had to renovate a big part of it in accordance with the standards of good manufacturing practice for the food products," Doctor says.
Hyposol is a water disinfectant that Doctor's company, Long Live Pharma, developed after the cholera outbreak in Pangasinan in 2004. He has been manufacturing it in a half-hectare plant in Barangay Malanay here.
When the food product manufacturing equipment was finally fabricated and installed here, his plant was inaugurated on May 6. Nine days later, the plant started producing RiMo curls and RiMo instant baby food blend.
"These products are actually complementary food for children developed by FNRI-DOST," Doctor says.
"The products are made from a blend of rice flour and mongo flour. They are rich in protein and energy. Children who will consume a pack a day of these for 120 days can have the right nutrition that they badly need in their age," he says.
RiMo curls, which is produced in 30-gram packs, has 120 kilocalories and 4 grams of protein, which, Doctor says, is enough to meet the daily recommended energy and protein intake of children.
RiMo instant baby food blend is a ready-to-eat food that can be consumed by adding previously boiled water.
Doctor says he designed the label of the curls pack to make it look like the popular "chichirya" (snack food) in the market.
"Children are usually attracted to chichirya. But what makes our chichirya different from the rest is its healthy ingredients," Doctors says. "Besides, ours is a lot cheaper, P7 for the instant baby food blend and P8 for the curls."
With the products out in the market, Doctor says his biggest challenge is sustaining his operations in terms of coming up with a big inventory.
He says that the demand is high, coming mostly from schools, government agencies involved in feeding programs and even local governments.
"This means I also have to put up a lot of inventory of raw materials," he says.
He says his plant can produce up to 16,500 packs of curls and baby food blend a day. "But we have not gone on a full-blast operation yet. We are producing only about 6,000 packs a day," he says.
His wife Divine and daughter Khristyna, a registered nurse, are helping him market the products by organizing feeding programs and meeting various interest groups.
"I hope to display my product in every sari-sari store in the country. But of course, that will require a lot of capital," Doctor says.
So far, he says, his products have reached parts of Metro Manila, the Cordillera and the Ilocos provinces.
"We have also been sending these to some provinces in the Visayas and Mindanao. We actually receive a lot of orders from there," Doctor says.
He says his wife, who is the company's finance officer, is working on a website that would feature the products and allow online orders and payments.
He says that despite the absence of advertisements, the popularity of his products has been increasing and his office receives several inquiries every day.
"The challenge that was given to me by the FNRI-DOST is to manufacture and commercialize these products at the same time. I'm now beginning to see that these are not really very difficult to sell. My advantage is that I'm selling a nutritious product," he says.

Just wondering if anyone has tried a Kindle Fire yet?
I was quite surprised that they were still in stock everywhere given the price, so I thought I'd give one a try.
I knew that all the reviews said it wasn't an ipad but that aside, it's a heck of a good product in my humble opinion!
Smaller/lighter than the ipad, more booklike in terms of holding it with one hand to read and yet still capable of having apps on it.
I must admit I think they've got a real hit with it and I'm surprised I'm not hearing more about it!

Greetings, FanLit readers, friends, and potential contributors! We're launching a new column, Expanded Universe, curated by me, for feature essays that discuss any aspect of speculative fiction.
How do we define the term "speculative fiction"? Well, that's one thing that this column will end up addressing: given that all fiction exists in the realm of the imagination, what makes some fiction "speculative" and other fiction not? And where do we draw the boundaries within the term for genres like science fiction, fantasy, magical realism, New Weird, slipstream, horror... you get the drift.

Undercity: An underground society with real-world social concerns
Undercity by Catherine Asaro
I'm a sucker for stories that take place underground, so when I saw the cover and title of Catherine Asaro's new book, Undercity, I knew I had to break my commitment to not start a new series until I'd finished all the other ones first. (For the last seven months I've read only books that continue or finish a series I've previously started.)
When she was an orphaned child, Major Bhaajan used to live in the dark dirty tunnels under the city of Cries. She was one of the dust rats — the kids who run in packs through the tunnels. They live in poverty, are malnourished, don't go to school, and have few opportunities. Bhaajan was hard-working and motivated, though. She left the Undercity when she joined the military, and she hoped never to return to Cries. Now, retired from t... Read More
A Darkling Sea: Enjoyable and raises thoughtful questions
A Darkling Sea by James L. Cambias
A Darkling Sea is a fast-paced adventure set in a challenging environment. Part cat-and-mouse war-game, part first contact story, James L. Cambias' first novel is an engrossing read.
The planet Ilmatar is sheathed in ice. Under the kilometer-thick ice crust is a cold ocean, and a group of Terran human scientists are studying it from within an undersea habitat. Ilmatar has at least one intelligent, sentient ocean-dwelling species, and the humans are under strict orders from another non-human race, the Sholen (who act as self-appointed den-mothers for everyone) not to engage with the locals. When two of the humans disregard this rule, one of them is killed by the locals. This prompts the Sholen to try to shut down the project, and the human scientists disagree. Soon things have spiraled out of control.

Solaris: Can we communicate with an alien sentient ocean? If so, about what?
Solaris by Stanislaw Lem
Solaris is an amazing little novel with a colorful history. First written in 1961 by Stanislaw Lem in Polish, it was then made into a two-part Russian TV series in 1968, before being made into a feature film by famous Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky in 1972. It only reached English publication in 1970 in a Polish-to-French-to-English translation. And just when you thought it had faded from attention, both James Cameron and Steven Soderbergh expressed interest in doing a remake, with Soderbergh getting the nod in 2002 because Cameron was busy with other movies. Finally, a direct Polish-to-English translation by Bill Johnston was made available as an ebook and audiobook in 2011. In my case, I saw the Tarkovsky film back in 1995, watched the Soderbergh film in 2002, finally read the 1970 translation in 2013, and listened to the audiobook version in 2015.

Uprooted: Utterly satisfying and enthralling
Uprooted by Naomi Novik
Agniezska is the brave, stubborn, sensitive heroine of Naomi Novik's recent release, Uprooted — and she's about to steal your heart. She comes from Dvernik, a remote village on the edges of the enchanted Wood, the dark forest that creeps like a blight over interior Polnya. The only thing holding the Wood back from engulfing the land is the Dragon, a feared sorcerer who lives nearby. For his work keeping the danger at bay, every ten years the Dragon demands one young woman from the village. As the time for "the taking" approaches, everyone in the village expects the Dragon to choose Kasia, Dvernik's golden girl and Agniezska's best friend. However, something about Agniezska catches the Dragon's eye and she is the one chosen to leave her family and friends for ten years to serve him in his tower.

James and the Giant Peach: Not for kiddies only
James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl
Perhaps I should confess right up front that this review of what is popularly regarded solely as a children's book is being written by a 50+-year-old male "adult" who hadn't read a kids' book in many years. For me, Welsh author Roald Dahl had long been the guy who scripted one of my favorite James Bond movies, 1967's You Only Live Twice, and who was married for 30 years to the great actress Patricia Neal. Recently, though, in need of some "mental palate cleansing" after a bunch of serious adult lit, I picked up Dahl's first kiddy novel, James and the Giant Peach, and now know what several generations have been aware of since the book's release in 1961: that this is an absolutely charming story for young and old alike, with marvelous characters, a remarkably imaginative story line and some quirky humor scattered throughout.

Swords Against Wizardry: Two lovable rogues and their adventures
Swords Against Wizardry by Fritz Leiber
This is the fourth collection of stories in Fritz Leiber's FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER series, and is better than the previous volume, Swords in the Mist. It features four stories: "In the Witch's Tent" (1968), "Stardock" (1965), "The Two Best Thieves in Lankhmar" (1968), and "The Lords of Quarmall" (1964). My personal favorites are "Stardock" and "The Two Best Thieves in Lankhmar." The first story is just a short framing piece, so I'll focus on the main three stories.
"Stardock" is a fast-paced and amazingly-written adventure in which Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser climb Stardock, an imposing ice-covered mountain that is the Newhon equivalent of Everest, in a quest to retrieve a pouch of gems that legend holds were made by the gods as test-models for ... Read More

'Garfunkel and Oates': Watch a full episode online nowAdd to Favorites | Garfunkel and Oates
Warning: The above video contains strong language.
"Garfunkel and Oates," starring comedians Riki Lindholme and Kate Micucci hasn't debuted on IFC yet, but you can see an episode of the new series early. Like the comedy act the show is based on, "Garfunkel and Oates" features original songs, in addition to the comedy. In fact, you might notice a musical segment that looks a lot like "Saved By the Bell."
This particular episode is about Lindholme and Micucci trying to date men without actually talking. It features special appearances by T.J. Miller and Nick Thune, among others.
"Garfunkel and Oates" premieres Thursday, Aug. 7, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on IFC. Don't worry about spoiling yourself, though. The premiere episode is different from the one above.

Software with good documentation is far more valuable than software without.
Software that needs to be reliable will be subject to a code review. Good documentation makes the review go more smoothly, and makes it more likely that the review will accomplish its intended purpose.
Most VHDL designers write 'something downto something' in their code all the time. But what does this downto actually mean. And what is the difference with to?
The keywords downto and to specify the direction of ranges in VHDL. downto is descending (going down); to is ascending (going up).
When used in arrays, downto corresponds to little endian. This means that the least significant bit is stored at the lowest position.

Culture war brews in Indian city of Mumbai
MUMBAI, India A battle for the cultural soul of Mumbai is brewing between Hindu radicals and the cosmopolitan urbanites who are the global face of this Indian city. The radicals appear to be winning.
In the last few weeks, the Shiv Sena group has blocked the broadcast of a hit reality show - after its mob tried to storm the filming set - and convinced the prestigious University of Mumbai to ban from its curriculum an acclaimed novel, saying it offends the local Marathi-speaking people.
The conflicts are a reminder of the power of divisive politics in the world's largest democracy and the fragile balance of diversity in India's most globalized city.
Shiv Sena emerged during the 1960s and bills itself as the defender of the Marathi speakers in Mumbai - the capital of India's financial and entertainment industries, which has attracted generations of migrants, resulting in an ethnically and culturally diverse population of some 18 million.
It's a city where it is possible to find Brioni suits, Scottish beef - anathema to Hindu traditionalists who revere cows as holy - and migrants from different states with different languages mixing and marrying.
Such cosmopolitanism has sparked a backlash, led by the Shiv Sena, which does not hesitate to use violence to enforce its vision of primacy for natives of Maharashtra state, of which Mumbai is the main city, and secondly for majority Hindus within India.
This month, the group targeted the TV show "Bigg Boss" - an Indian version of "Big Brother" - demanding the removal of two stars from India's historic archrival, predominantly Muslim Pakistan. A mob tried to storm the gates of the bungalow where the show is filmed in Lonavala, a hill station outside Mumbai, and staged a strike that shut down the town for a day.
On Oct. 13, Shiv Sena-affiliated cable operators, who control between 30 and 70 percent of Mumbai's television sets, blocked transmission of Colors, the channel owned by Viacom Inc. and India's Network18 Group that airs the show.
The next day, the channel wrote an apologetic letter to Shiv Sena leaders and broadcasts resumed, according to an official close to the negotiations who spoke anonymously because of the sensitivity of the matter. Colors declined comment.
That followed Shiv Sena's success in pressuring the University of Mumbai to withdraw Rohinton Mistry's acclaimed 1991 novel, "Such a Long Journey," from its second-year syllabus for English literature on the grounds that it offended Marathi sensibilities.
"He has written against the workers of Maharashtra. We are hardworking people," Shiv Sena parliamentarian Sanjay Raut said of the novel that was nominated for the Booker Prize. "What Mr. Mistry has written is not freedom of expression. He has written books only to get cheap publicity."
Raut also accused Mistry of "derogatory" statements in the book against Indira Gandhi, who served four controversial terms as prime minister from 1966 until her assassination in 1984.
The book also has a direct poke at Shiv Sena, with one character accusing the party's founder of worshipping Hitler and Mussolini and stirring up Mumbai's underclass.

Ryan Jensen:$4,000
Clay Guida: $14,000 ($7,000 to show, $7,000 to win)
Marcus Aurelio: $30,000
Kos got screwed bigtime if that was all he made for the fight. A second main event fighter walking with just ten grand.
I really wish we could get the whole picture here. I just don't see how he only makes 10K on that fight when Grove pulls in 12K. How does that make sense. Kos has been at it longer and winning longer. how does he get less than half these guys?
Its not right 10K is nothing. For all the training and all the media and hype, Kos got punked in this UFC.

Hollywood's Hottest FathersPosted By Jessica Doucette, Paul Mitchell Schools
Sat Jun 15 2013 at 9:26 PM, Last Edit: Wed Oct 09 2013
To celebrate Father's Day this year, we'd love to showcase all of the handsome dads Hollywood has so generously blessed us with. Get ready for our ten favorite fathers we wouldn't mind calling "Daddy."
1. David Beckham
Father to Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, Beckham and his Spice Girl have raised three dashing boys and one baby girl. Although you may be retired from the sport David, you'll never retire from our hearts.
2. Chris Hemsworth
Who wouldn't want to be baby India, wrapped up in those big, strong arms? New Daddy Chris Hemsworth and his long blonde hair are definitely something to celebrate this Sunday.
3. Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka
If having one hot dad wasn't enough, Gideon Scott and Harper Grace have two of the hottest Dads in Hollywood.
4. Brad Pitt
From juggling six kids to starring in blockbuster movies, we'd love to extend a little TLC to this dashing, and rugged father.
5. Usher
With looks like Usher, there's no doubt his two baby boys will grow up to be just as handsome as Daddy.
6. Channing Tatum
As of May 31, we'd love to wish Channing his first Happy Father's Day! Congratulations on your baby girl.
7. Matt Damon
With little Isabella, Stella, Gia and Alexia to look after, Matt Damon has become quite the devoted dad; he even gave up a director role to be with his family. Happy Dad's Day, Matt!
8. Orlando Bloom
Pretty boy Bloom makes a dapper Dad. Congrats on your third Father's Day, Orlando!
9. Robert Downey Jr.
Trendy father, Downey Jr. and his son Indio deserve a very warm Father's Day for being so stinkin' cute.
10. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Underneath all that muscle and brawn is an adorable and loving father to Miss Simone Alexandra Johnson.
We wish every Dad a very warm Father's Day this year! Young or old, we're thankful to have such wonderful men in our lives.

This is why you shoot pirates
International law defines only the crime of piracy, not the penalty, it could be argued therefore that you are allowed to execute pirates on the high seas…so Lord knows why the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys bothered apprehending them..now it has caused no end of grief.
The European Court of Human Rights says France violated the rights of Somali pirates who had attacked French ships and has ordered compensation for them over judicial delays.
The nine Somali pirates should get thousands of euros because they were not immediately brought before a French judge, the court ruled.
One is to get 9,000 euros (£7,000) and the others sums of up to 7,000 euros.
What they should have got was a bullet. Read more »

I've spent hours trying to fix the 'Submit' button in a website Im making; it's fine now in IE7 but low and behold doesnt display properly in Firefox. http://www.benxdesign.com/temp/lol/contact.html
Please help; Im going mental.
): Bad times
I am no coder and have lost my patience with this design. None of the Pastiers you kindly added work on my design. I give up.
Anyone know how to fix what I already have please?
The example I gave you was a general example how to code a form. You could search some tutorials on how to code a html-form. It isn't as difficult as you maybe think.
If you just fix this error your outcome isn't w3c validated.
Thanks BroOf, appreciate your time and your helping me.
Guess you and I can share a geek-giggle here: my mistake was that I had the textarea in a class that defined it's height as 20px and thus the button 'thought' it was okay to show so high up the page…whoops! I edited the height of the textarea to 400px and voila, the Submit button dropped underneath it…lovely jubbly.
Thanks again for your time mate, I appreciate it.
Hey no problem ! I remember how I started to learn html

Indirect cooking in a barbecue pit is recommended to prevent burning. Cook at 250 degrees F (curled side of ribs facing up) for the first 3 hours, and then increase the temperature to 300 degrees F for the final 3 hours. Baste the ribs only during the last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent sauce from burning.

Spellbound (Hardcover)
|Author: Blake Charlton
Learn more about Spellbound:
|Pursued by the demon who cursed him, Nicodemus must try to avoid spinning the word into chaos with his unique disability, the nasty inclination to misspell magical texts. By the author of Spellwright. *Author: Charlton, Blake *Publication Date: 2011/09/13 *Number of Pages: 412 *Binding Type: Hardcover *Language: English *Depth: 1.00 *Width: 6.50 *Height: 9.75
From the Publisher:
In a world where one's magical prowess is determined by one's skill with words and ability to spell, Nicodemus is a wizardly apprentice afflicted by a curse that causes him to misspell magical texts. Now, the demon who cursed him has hatched a conspiracy to force Nicodemus to change language and ultimately use it to destroy all human life. As Nico tries to thwart the demon's plan, he faces challenges from all sides. But his biggest challenge is his own disability, which causes him to create chaos wherever he goes. And the chaos surrounding Nico is affecting the world so profoundly that the kingdom to which he has fled to gather strength is on the brink of civil war, and he suspects that his closest allies—even Francesca, whom he loves more than life itself—may be subject to the demon's vast powers. As Nico tries to forestall the apocalypse, he realizes that he doesn't know if he can fully trust anyone, not even the woman he loves. And if he makes one wrong move, not only will his life be forfeit, he may end up destroying all mortal life as well.Introducing new twists to the unique magical system of Spellwright, and exploring issues that will bring readers a deeper appreciation of a fascinating world, Spellbound is sure to please Blake Charlton's fans and increase their number.

Charlotte Pride Festival Draws Thousands
Thousands of people marched and celebrated in uptown Charlotte over the weekend for the city's gay pride festival, Charlotte Observer reports:
The parade drew corporate sponsors, City Council members, allies and members of the gay community. Parade goers supported the parade participants with rainbow-colored dogs, pink boas and signs like "God Adores You."
The festival, which ran Saturday and Sunday, was expected to draw more than 80,000 people, event organizers said, though Charlotte Mecklenburg police Capt. Mike Campagna declined to provide a crowd estimate. [...]
Several churches made appearances in the parade, with signs like "God Loves Everyone" from St. John Baptist Church, "God Invites. We Welcome. All." from Caldwell Presbyterian Church and "Discrimination is a Sin" from Wedgewood Church.
There were few protesters out on Sunday. A half-dozen people stood along Tryon Street, holding signs like "God Hates Pride" and "Pornography/Pathway to Hell's Fire."
The AP adds that one of the honored guests at the parade was Crystal Moore, the Latta, SC police chief who was fired earlier this year by the town's homophobic mayor. Moore was subsequently reinstated by a public vote.

why do they have it so late in the year? looks like fun though
Posted by: JMC | Aug 18, 2014 9:17:40 PM
I live in NC, and a lot of the southern cities have their prides later I'm guessing because of the heat. Also so we can go to other prides and vacation too. There are a few more southern prides continuing right through September! Cheers.
Posted by: Bryson | Aug 19, 2014 1:54:32 AM
Also recent estimates have the crowd at around 100K. With in attendance Leann Rhimes, Fortune Feimster, and Bianca Del Rio! Not today satan, not today!

A Strategic Analysis of Vehicle Manufacturers' European Telematics Systems and Services, Details All Telematics Services Launched by the Auto Industry.
This report stands as an indispensable work of reference on the past, present and future development of vehicle telematics in Europe.
It is an essential tool for all those involved in vehicle telematics, including car makers, service providers and suppliers, and those with an interest in monitoring key technologies and trends in mobile communications and information delivery.
The report, a strategic analysis of vehicle manufacturers' European telematics systems and services, details all telematics services launched by the auto industry since the late 1990s, together with those that are currently under development. It also gives independent, expert insight into the fundamental strategies that we identifiy as having the potential to promote wider customer uptake of the technology and yield more consistent rewards for manufacturers in the future.
This eighth edition of this benchmark report is an all-new study and adopts a fresh approach, containing much more than simply an overview of the industry. Uniquely, it provides dynamic analysis of the complete telematics value chain, with recommendations on how the right technology can be successfully exploited to provide useful, affordable services for the motorist, while at the same time delivering enhanced and continuing benefits for vehicle manufacturers and suppliers.
The timing of this report reinforces its importance, with publication coming at the beginning of what will be a pivotal year for the industry. The European Commission's proposals for a pan-European public E-call system to be introduced by the end of the decade could compel manufacturers to incorporate a low-cost telematics platform in all new vehicles - basic hardware which could subsequently be used to support the introduction of more advanced services in the future.
Manufacturers have to determine their response to this challenge now and build an industry consensus. Even if the EC's ambitions are not achieved, we believe that manufacturers will have to reappraise their approach to private telematics services. In this environment, this report gains even greater status and value.
The key factors required for future success are analysed in depth: strategic positioning of services; service pricing; identification of the services which will grow the market; successful bundling of services; the best route to achieving pan-European coverage; the communications challenges which need to be overcome; and the most effective methods of configuring in-car hardware.
The report highlights the lessons that need to be learned from the problems encountered by those manufacturers that pioneered sophisticated - but too often costly, poorly designed and over-complex - telematics services, and the positive experiences of the car makers which have succeeded in establishing systems within their model ranges. We provide pragmatic recommendations that reposition telematics as a dynamic tool that can be used by manufacturers to support their vehicle production, sales and servicing operations.
Contents are as follows:
1. Executive summary
2. Key success factors for telematics in Europe
3. Summary of main changes by vehicle manufacturer

SaaS - Software as a Service, Storage as a Service
(1) Short for Software as a Service, SaaS is a software delivery method that provides access to software and its functions remotely as a Web-based service. Software as a Service allows organizations to access business functionality at a cost typically less than paying for licensed applications since SaaS pricing is based on a monthly fee. Also, because the software is hosted remotely, users don't need to invest in additional hardware. Software as a Service removes the need for organizations to handle the installation, set-up and often daily upkeep and maintenance. Software as a Service may also be referred to as simply hosted applications. See related term ASP.
(2) Short for Storage as a Service, SaaS is a term used to describe a storage model where a business or organization (the client) rents or leases storage space from a third-party provider. Data is transferred from the client to the service provider via the Internet and the client would then access their stored data using software provided by the storage provider. The software is used to perform common tasks related to storage, such as data backups and data transfers. Storage as a Service is popular with SMBs because there are usually no start-up costs (e.g., servers, hard disks, IT staff and so on) involved. Businesses pay for the service based only on the amount of storage space used. Storage as a Service may also be called hosted storage. See related term Storage Service Provider.

Rahal wants to run NASCAR race at Mid-Ohio
This solid start to 2013 is no fluke, either.
Almirola had a strong close to last year, finishing fourth at Martinsville to begin a final month without a finish lower than 16th. He opened this year with a 13th in the Daytona 500, was 15th at Phoenix and 16th last week at Las Vegas.
It's all a credit to RPM's personnel, he said.
"We do have less resources," he said. "The only way to overcome that is to have great people, and that's what I feel like we have. We've got a great group of people here at Richard Petty Motorsports. We've got a lot of people that work really, really hard and work extremely long hours to make sure that our cars have every detail and every I and every T is crossed."
NHRA GATORNATIONALS: It is the traditional East Coast opener for NHRA and Tony Schumacher and Ron Capps have the early season momentum in Top Fuel and Funny Car, respectively.
Tony Schumacher has advanced to the last four Top Fuel final rounds dating back to last season, and his win two weeks ago in Phoenix was the 70th of his career. Clearly on a roll, he's got a 79-point lead in the standings and seems to be an early championship contender.
Schumacher said his U.S. Army team is stronger than it was at the end of last season.
"Our car was phenomenal, but it's better now. It's better this year," he said. "I'm excited, man. We've got a great car, a great team. I'm looking forward to 22 more fantastic races starting at Gainesville, one of my favorite places, ever, to race."
Ron Capps, meanwhile, has posted back-to-back final rounds to open the season in Funny Car. His win at Phoenix gave him a 45-point lead in the standings and he's looking to extend that margin with perhaps a third career Gatornationals victory.
"Gainesville is one of the big four races that NHRA has," he said. "It was a huge race when I was growing up and it still is. You get pumped up when you're driving to the track and see all those campers. It's a destination race where a lot of fans attend as part of a vacation."
He may be challenged by Courtney Force, who sits second in the standings and won the season opener at Pomona. She lost to Capps in the first round of last year's Gatornationals.
"I feel that our Traxxas Ford Mustang team has come a long way from when we were racing in Gainesville just a year ago," Force said. "When I was competing at the race track last year, it had only been my third race as a rookie driver. This track was new and unfamiliar to me, and I struggled. I hope that I can take everything I learned from throughout last season and really improve with my performance going into Gainesville."

Not a bad app, but falls short on some things. Scheduling system doesn't seem to work on the GS3.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Daniel B. Hier, MD (University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)
Description: This is a superb multicontributor textbook on the current practice of electroencephalography (EEG).
Purpose: This book will be of value for anyone who interprets an EEG — everyone from the novice neurology resident to the experienced electroencephalographer will find material of value in this well-written book.
Audience: This book will be of value on anyone who interprets an EEG—everyone from the novice neurology resident to the experienced electroencephalographer will find material of value in the well-written text.
Features: This is a virtual guide to all of EEG. It is comprehensive and covers engineering, artifacts, activation, intraoperative monitoring, ambulatory EEG, intracranial EEG, video EEG, as well as the usefulness of EEG in epilepsy and encephalopathies. Each of the 31 chapters is comprehensive, well written, and illustrated with well-reproduced EEG tracings. Only a few of the tracings in this book fall below the general high standards of reproduction attained by the majority of tracings.
Assessment: This is the third edition of a classic EEG book. It simply gets better and more useful with time. This is a very good book that anyone who pursues EEG interpretation will want to own.
