It's Not Just the Law. It's Law.gov
U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Open Government Beth Noveck chaired a session at a day-long Washington workshop last week on Law.gov, a national effort to make all primary U.S. legal documents available for free online. The June 18 workshop, sponsored by the Center for American Progress (CAP) and reflecting much of the progress already made through the Obama Administration's Open Government initiative, emphasized the importance of easing access to legal documents across all three branches of government to increase transparency and accountability and to encourage innovative uses of this trove of information.
Workshop participants noted that there is great demand for primary legal records, including SEC filings and appeals court rulings, but that page charges and other "paywall" barriers limit access to these documents. Moreover, said Stanford Deputy Law Librarian Erika Wayne, efforts to inventory legal information and compile records online are often frustrated because the documents have disclaimers attached, are incomplete, or have not been updated with final text. The value of these documents could be greatly enhanced, added OMB General Counsel Preeta Bansal, if more of them were hyperlinked to one another, to show more clearly the full path of a case.
In her presentation, Noveck highlighted the Administration's Open Government initiative and, as an example of its potential power, described last year's successful effort to make the Federal Register available in XML, a "liberating" flexible text format that has facilitated people's efforts to use Federal legal data in new and innovative ways. Office of the Federal Register director Ray Mosley noted that a new and even easier-to-use version of the XML Federal Register will be released in July. And the founders of several innovative websites—GovPulse.US (which makes Federal Register information more available to the public); FedThread.org (which allows users to annotate the Federal Register); and Oregonlaws.org (which gives users easier access to Oregon legal information) all emphasized how quickly and easily they were able to set up new, innovative frameworks for customers once the relevant data were made public.
Others echoed the idea that, rather than posing a threat to private interests, the free release of data offers new economic opportunities. LexisNexis representative Mike Walsh emphasized, for example, that his company's main source of profit was the value it added to legal information through editing and linking cases to other cases. Representatives from two other legal information concerns—Justia and Fastcase—concurred that accessible data are best seen as a resource ripe for value-added innovation.
Happily, said Tim O'Reilly, CEO of O'Reilly Media, those who are working to make more data available to the public don't have to devise highly complicated systems to do so. The best data platforms are fundamentally simple, he said, and encourage innovation through their open—and in many cases open-source—design. More information about Law.gov can be found here, and more information about the CAP workshop, including video from the event, is here.

Honors Program
The Hunter College Department of Psychology invites all undergraduate majors to consider the completion of a Psychology Departmental Honors thesis project.
What It Involves:
This program involves working with a Psychology faculty mentor to develop and conduct a psychology-oriented research project addressing an area of interest to the student. Students often work with a faculty member they have already taken a course from, who mentioned an area of psychology that they wanted to explore further. Students may also review the list of faculty research interests, available on the Psychology department's web site, or available from the undergraduate Psychology advisor in 611HN, to identify faculty who conduct research in an area relevant to the student's interests. Research projects must involve an empirical study involving the collection and quantitative (i.e., statistical) or qualitative analysis of data, depending on the research approach agreed-upon between the student and his/her research mentor. Examples of current and past projects conducted by Departmental Honors students include: Intentional vs. incidental learning, The influence of the news media on adolescents, Studying the symptoms of schizophrenia, The acquisition of temporal ordering skills in children of teenage mothers, The effect of emotion on perceptions of safer-sex advertisements, and The influence of oxy-tocin on the aggressive behaviors of rats.
The first step in preparing for the Departmental Honors program is to contact full-time Psychology faculty members (via e-mail, using addresses obtained from the Psych Department's webpage at http://maxweber.hunter.cuny.edu/psych/) in areas of Psychology the student finds interesting, and see if they are willing to work with the student as their Honors Project mentor. Often, it is to your advantage to select a research area close to that for which you are considering graduate study (this will allow you a first-hand opportunity to learn if this is truly the area you wish to pursue for a career.). Once you find a faculty member willing to be your mentor, pick-up an "Independent Study" sign-up form in the Psych office (611HN)—Fill out your part in the "Psych 396" portion of this form, and bring it to your faculty research mentor and ask him/her to sign it—this represents the contract between you and your mentor for doing the Honors project. Bring this signed form back to the Psych Office (to one of the office administrators in the back of 611HN) so that an access code can be entered allowing you to then register for Psych 396 online. This same procedure is used again to register for Psych 398—the second semester of Psych Honors.
Students who participate in the Psychology Departmental Honors program must register for Psych 396 (3 cr.) during their first semester of research and Psych 398 (3 cr.) during the second semester of research. In very rare circumstances, students may be able to complete the Honors thesis in one semester, but this must be worked out between them and their research mentor. Psych 396/398 requires that students attend a weekly seminar, during which tips for research and career matters are discussed, as well as brief student research presentations are made. **If a student has a scheduling conflict that prevents him/her from attending the seminar, however, alternative arrangements can be made.
Examples of past and current projects conducted by Honors students:
- Intentional vs. incidental learning
- The influence of the news media on adolescents
- Studying the symptoms of schizophrenia
- The acquisition of temporal ordering skills in children of teenage mothers
- The effect of emotion on perceptions of safer-sex advertisements
- The influence of oxy-tocin on the aggressive behaviors of rats
What are the benefits of completing a Psychology Departmental Honors Project?
Students who complete this project will receive special mention in the Commencement Bulletin when they graduate, as well as receiving an indication of "Graduated with Departmental Honors in Psychology" on their permanent record and transcript. This notation will only appear in the Comments section of the transcript; it does not appear on the CUNY diploma, as CUNY uses a standardized diploma format for all graduating students. In addition, many employers and, especially, graduate programs look very favorably on students who have completed independent research projects, as this indicates a high degree of motivation, maturity, and responsibility on the part of the student, (i.e., it may help give you an edge when applying to graduate school or for a job).
Who is eligible?
Students eligible for Psychology Departmental Honors must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 and a minimum GPA of 3.5 in all Psychology courses taken at Hunter College. Students must have completed Psych 248 (Statistics) and Psych 249/250 (Experimental Psychology) by the time they plan to begin their Honors research (and these are prerequisites for registering for Psych 396/398). The Honors thesis is usually completed during the student's final 2 semesters at Hunter College, and, thus, may be started during either the Fall or the Spring semester.
NOTE: In addition to the Departmental Honors Program, all interested students (regardless of GPA) are eligible—and strongly encouraged-- to get involved in faculty research for credit through either Psych 201 (which has no prerequisites) or Psych 395 (once you have completed Psych 249/250: Experimental Psychology).

Gear Review part 1
Gear Review
Part 1 is a review some of the major items I had with me on the trip. I have intentionally kept each review as short as possible but I can elaborate if anyone is interested. Part two will cover some of the smaller items. Please let me know if there is anything I miss that you want to know about. The bike and tires will be in a separate review.
The rating system. This is how my brain works and believe me I had plenty of helmet time to think about this stuff.
A Perfect
B Almost Perfect
D More bad then good
E Not at all good
1 Could not do without it, used it all the time
2 Almost mandatory, rarely used
3 Could have left it at home but nice to have
4 Never used it
Alpinestar Scout Adventure boots
This was the only equipment donation I received and it was at the last minute. I didn't have the budget for boots so was going to use a pair of old Aplpinestar Gortex road boots. But my good pal Greg at Riverside Motosports and Parts Canada stepped up and supplied me with these great boots.
Rating B1
Absolutely comfortable from the box and really easy to walk in. Lightweight and relatively easy to get in and out of.
The left lower buckle is impossible to close unless I hit it hard which I have been doing with the heel of the other boot. This started within two months of daily use.
The left boot also is not totally waterproof. In light to medium rain, no problem. But in heavy prolonged rain my left foot got soaked all the time.
Would buy again.
Klim Latitude pants
Rating A1
Great fit, totally waterproof, no flapping in the wind, and good venting
Would buy again
Klim Badlands Pro jacket
Rating B1
Love the fit and the built in kidney belt is great to help support the weight. Generally comfortable but the collar is not a good design. Each time you put on the jacket you must make sure the collar is not turned over or it chafes. Also the elastic cuffs were a bother and I had them cut out.
There are plenty of pockets, which are not waterproof but that is not unexpected. The small zippers can be a bit stiff but they are the waterproof ones which by nature are a little tougher to move.
I'm not sure why but the sleeves are not waterproof. Perhaps the zips are leaking but this was very annoying. The main reason I bought this jacket was it is supposed to be waterproof and it eliminated a rain layer. However I was forced to don an overjacket everytime it rained. Venting is adequate in hot temps but only when in motion. It was a crazy hot jacket at sweltering border crossings.
Would buy again only after looking at other options first
Klim Element Glove long
Rating B2
This really should get a 1.5 for usefulness as it was the go to glove for almost all of Patagonia when it was cold and rainy. However it's not perfect. The main problem is the sizing but I can only blame my anatomy for that. To get a glove wide enough I had to get the XL and the fingers are too long. The other problem is the leather patch on the palm is really stiff and creates a pressure point on my hand when it is around the grips. I think this is slowly breaking in but like the rest of the glove, the break in time is very long. It's really comfortable other than that and they designed the palm to be thin for good heat transfer from the grips. They are totally waterproof and fairly easy to put on if your hands are a bit moist. Oh and the knuckles are Titanium!!
Would buy again
Shoei Hornet DS Helmet
Rating B1
I love this helmet for comfort and visibility. The peak is only useful in high sun and is a wind catcher. I removed the peak during the windiest parts of Patagonia and the difference was amazing. When I started north again I put it back on because the sun was always in front of me and it did help with the glare. I also have a Shoei RF1000 and the fit is almost identical. The only real issue is wind noise and for that reason I won't give it an A. In fact I don't think I could give any helmet an A for that reason.
And it gives me a really cool hairdo!
Would buy again
Garmin Montana GPS
Rating B1
Almost flawless until heavy rain and wind in Peru. The screen developed a bad condensation problem and then the back light totally failed. At one point even the touch screen was acting up which rendered the unit useless for a time.
I have no complaints about software or the user interface. It performed as well as I expected considering the maps I had installed. For the most part I don't use GPS for turn by turn directions. I use it to see where I am and what direction I'm going. In cities this is essential for me so I don't get turned around the wrong way. The big screen of the Montana is great if the backlight is working.
I never used the built in camera.
Would buy again, in fact I have to get this one refurbished when I get back home.
Delorme inReach for Smart Phone
Rating B1
I really like this unit. The ability to send and receive messages is an important feature for me.
In other regards it functions much like the Spot brand device. I would say that the inReach is more sensitive to overhead cloud than the Spot and therefore some tracking points did not make it. At times I had trouble sending a message if it was cloudy but almost always had eventual success.
I used the 12v power adaptor most of the time so battery life was not an issue. I did bring Lithium batteries with me so I could use it off the bike like on my Darian gap voyage.
The RAM holder held it safe but the antenna rattled in the housing so I used some tape to fatten up the antenna and secure it.Also the RAM holder was not designed to hold the 12v power adaptor so I had to make some mods.
Would buy again
Screens for Bikes Windshield
Rating A1
Peter at Screens for Bikes was kind enough to send this to me with no shipping costs.
This is one tough windshield. It performed really well keeping the wind off my chest. It did move the air flow right into my face which did contribute to the wind noise but I think it was a good trade off.
There was no vibration from it at all even though it is mounted to the flimsy headlight surround.
Would buy again
Happy Trail Teton 7.5 Panniers and racks
Rating A1
These guys are tough and really easy to straighten if you need to. After hundreds of openings and closings the latches are still perfect. The seals have taken a beating but the boxes are still waterproof and the seals are easy to replace. The mounting system held firm with normal use. With abnormal use one of the boxes was pulled off the rack. I needed to use a rock to straighten the metal enough to reinstall it but when I had access to a hammer I got it perfectly flat again.
The racks stayed solid but I must admit I had them reinforced before I left. I had read stories of cracks developing on heavily laden bikes so I took no chances. I believe this was not necessary in the long run.
Would buy again

|Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate
|6 g
Creatine is synthesized in the liver and stored in the major muscles, including cardiac and skeletal tissues. Once inside the muscle cells, creatine is phosphorylated to form creatine phosphate (CP), which, as a high energy substrate for the universal energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), assists in the contraction of the myofibrils (muscle fibers). Creatine Phosphate is utilized to maintain higher levels of ATP during exercise. Creatine Phosphate maximizes physical performance and reduces exercise fatigue by absorbing hydrogen ions released by muscles in the form of lactic acid. Intense anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting and sprinting, depletes ATP and greatly increases the demand for creatine.
Stir 1 scoop (6 grams) of Creatine Monohydrate into 20 ounces of water or fruit juice (Glucose, as found in certain fruit juices, enhances uptake and utilization of creatine monohydrate); for higher intakes, consult your qualified health care consultant.

Foreign National Pleads Guilty to Visa Fraud
Wilmington, Del. - United States Attorney Charles M. Oberly, III, announced Srinivas Doppalapudi, a 45 year old citizen of India, in the United States with permanent legal residency (green card) status, pleaded guilty today District Court Sue L. Robinson to visa fraud and money laundering. Doppalapudi's sentencing has been tentatively scheduled for a date in September.
According to statements made and documents filed in court, from March 2007, through September 2010, Doppalapudi submitted 33 fraudulent H-1B visa applications. In entering his guilty plea to visa fraud, Doppalapudi admitted that from March 2007 through September 2010, he operated several businesses which variously applied for H-1B visas and that on 33 occasions he submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service, service contracts which were false, in that, no such agreement or contract existed and the contracts bore the forged signature of one of the purported parties. Most of the aliens in whose names Doppalapudi requested H-1B visas were in the United States on student visas which were about to expire.
During the period in question, Doppalapudi wire transferred more than $1 million dollars from his business bank accounts in the United States to a bank account in India. Doppalapudi's guilty plea to money laundering relates to his transfer of funds, criminally derived from his visa fraud scheme, from his business accounts to his personal account.
Upon entering his guilty plea, the prosecutor asked that the Court to revoke the defendant's release on bail and to detain Doppalapudi pending sentencing, which Judge Robinson tentatively scheduled for September. The government advised that Doppalapudi was facing certain deportation upon sentencing and had no incentive to return to sentencing. The government further argued that detention was warranted due to the following: during the commission of the offense he wired transferred in excess of $1 million dollars from his U.S. bank accounts to a bank account in India; that his business website listed offices in India, Singapore, and Canada; and on nine occasions from 2008 through the date of his arrest in July 2011, he had traveled internationally. Edmund D. Lyons, Esquire, counsel for defendant, opposed detention, noting that for the last 11 months following his arrest Doppalapudi had been on house arrest with electronic monitoring and fully compliant with all conditions of release. Judge Robinson granted the government's motion and detained without bail Doppalapudi pending sentencing.
Visa fraud, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1546(a), and money laundering, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1957, each are punishable by a maximum penalty of ten years' incarceration and a $250,000 fine.
The "H-1B Specialty Workers" visa program allows an employer to temporarily employ a foreign worker in the United States on a non-immigrant basis in a "specialty occupation." Current laws limit to 62,000 the number of such visas that may be issued annually. The H-1B visa application process is the responsibility of the employer, not the employee. Accordingly, it is the employer, not the employee, who applies for the H-1B visa. If the employer's application is granted, the H-1B visa is issued to the employer, not the non-immigrant employee. H-1B visas are issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service and are valid for a period of employment of up to three years. Thereafter, the employer may seek an extension to this status, for up to a maximum continuous period of six years.
Those employers petitioning for H-1B visas may not lawfully engage in the practice of "speculative employment," a term used to describe a circumstance in which petitioner does not have an available employment position, but still files a visa request on behalf of a foreign worker. In doing so, the petitioner speculates that, at some point in the future, the petitioner may be able to secure the foreign worker a job. In filing such paperwork, the petitioner fraudulently represents that a specific job opportunity is presently available, when, in fact, it is not.
Those employers petitioning for H-1B visas also may not lawfully engage in the practice of "benching workers," a term used to describe a circumstance in which petitioners engages in speculative employment and then after the non-immigrant worker makes himself/herself available for work, the employer places the worker on "the bench," that is, in an apartment for otherwise, without pay, while the worker awaits a job placement or searches for his/her own job placement.
The prosecution was a result of a joint investigation by the United States Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General, Office of Labor Racketeering and Fraud Investigations; the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation Division; and Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service - Office of Fraud Detection and National Security.

"This oven was purchased due to my old oven packing in, taking forever to heat up and only having an on/grill/off set of features.
This oven is completely different...
Firstly the oven looks professional, clean and high tech with its push in/out dials and digital display. The digital display is easy to read and understand with a display to specify the current program and one the time/temperature.
There are 12 programs which are easy to understand AFTER reading through the instructions. It took me about an hour of use to understand which symbol meant what.
The oven has several advanced features you'd expect from a high tech oven. The semi-automatic mode switches off the oven once a specified time period has passed. The automatic mode switches ON the oven at a certain time that is calculated to allow the oven to heat up to temperature AND cook for a given amount of time. This is an EXCELLENT feature which allows me to place a dish in the oven at 7am, go to work, and at 7pm I arrive home to a fully cooked meal ready to eat.
These features can be confused with the alarm, which is a separate feature. The alarm is simply that, and does not interfere with the oven by switching it off when done.
The interior is as expected and easy to clean.
The oven heats up very quickly, 220oC in 5 minutes on the boost setting (another feature that heats up the oven to temp then switches back to the chosen setting) which is miles faster than my previous oven (around 30 minutes for 220oC).
Overall I would recommend this oven for several reasons:
-- The price
-- The large number of features
-- The energy efficiency
-- The value for money
Excellent purchase!"

"It is a close sliding fit in our existing cabinet which housed our old single oven for 20 years. Unit looks great, but the 11 programmes take a bit of getting used to. There is a circular element at rear (turbo heat) that works with the fan for multi-trays, or at lower temperature for keeping food warm. Elements at top and/or bottom used for single trays, but fan with turbo heat can be used as well. Cakes, both fruit and sponge, cooked well and evenly with all three. We love the LED icon of the fan which rotates when the fan is running and like the fact that the fan turns off when door is opened to keep the heated air in.Timer works fine but doesn't show how much time is left to complete its programme. Good looking, efficient and reasonably priced."

"I have had this oven for a year now and can only report good things. It has not let me down so far, heats up reasonably fast and cooks evenly enough. This last point is the reason why I am only giving it 4 stars overall, as cakes do tend to get ever so slightly darker towards the back, so the heat is not 100% evenly distributed. However, it still delivers wonderful cakes and biscuits and it also cooks meat and veg beautifully. Over all I am very happy with it and I wouldn't have expected it to be as good as it is, looking at how reasonably priced it was! One more thing: I still need to use the booklet to check I get certain settings right, as there are so many different ones. All in all though I recommend this ove very highly."

"I just fitted 2 of these ovens and they are great, They look really nice sitting side by side, the lcd display is easy to read and looks good, it may take a while to get used to all the functions but they are all pretty good. It does a great job on pizzas and cooks really pretty evenly, I have used it to make cakes and it works well, it does brown them slightly more at the back but nothing a half turn cant cure.

"I bought this oven after my old one broke down.
The handle is nice and sturdy.
It heats up quite fast. I love the clock display. It's very easy to set up the timer. When the set time's up the oven turns itself off.
I usually use option 4 for baking (it's already preset to 205 C but you can change the temperature). My apple pie came out beautiful! I also used grill option for sausages. They were really nice and crispy.
Cleaning is easy too. You can take out the inside glass to wash it thoroughly in a soapy water. I love this oven!
Warning! The outside glass gets very hot! If you have small children - keep them off the hot oven!"

In a stainless steel finish, the Beko OIM25503X oven will look great in a modern kitchen. It's finger print free too, which is great if you have small children and it'll always look its best. The dials on the front can be pushed in when you're not using them to create a sleek look and make it easier to clean.
As it's a multifunctional oven it can help you cook almost anything. It has 12 cooking functions in all. The one you'll likely use the most is the fan which makes sure the temperature is the same throughout. It's ideal if you're cooking a lot of the same thing like lasagnes, desserts or cakes for a dinner party. It reduces cooking times too.
There's also a defrosting setting which circulates room temperature air to thaw your food. This is much more hygienic than leaving it on the kitchen counter and three times faster. Another really popular function is the pizza one. It uses the fan and lower heating element together to cook your pizza through while crisping the base. It's also great for pies preventing the base becoming soggy.
When you've finished cooking, the oven is really easy to clean. All you need to do is wipe it down thanks to its grease resistant enamel interior. The glass inside the doors have a special Oleophobic Nano coating too, which stops dirt getting stuck to it - leaving you with very little cleaning to do.
The timer on this model is better than most as it's fully programmable. This means you can preset what time the oven turns on and off. Set it to come on an hour before you get in and you're dinner gets cooked without you even being home. You can walk through the door and eat straight away.

MARION, Iowa - Police say alarming numbers of businesses served alcohol to minors after a routine check in Marion.
Twice a year, police send people under age into businesses asking for alcohol. On June 30, police hit 21 Marion businesses. Ten of those businesses had served alcohol to a minor. Police say the high numbers surprised them.
Craig Campbell is the co-owner of Campbell Steele Gallery. He thought he was doing everything right on June 30 by asking a young woman to see her I.D.
"I look right at the license, I look right at the calendar and it all seemed to make sense to me so I gave her a Guinness," Campbell said.
He didn't realize he made a mistake. Moments later a police officer entered his gallery and handed him a ticket.
"It cost a fortune, that is a very expensive fine - $735," Campbell said.
Police say it's an expensive price to pay. The Marion Police Department say they usually only have a few failed checks a year. Sgt. Brian Heinricy said on June 30, they had ten all in the same night.
"That's higher then we've seen here in the past," Heinricy said.
Hunters Ridge Golf Course, Indian Creek Country Club and Campbell Steele Gallery are just a few businesses that failed. These unusual spots could be the reason for unusually high numbers.
"A lot of them don't sell a high volume of alcohol compared to others, therefore they haven't been checked for awhile," Heinricy said.
After these results, police say they are considering checking all businesses who do serve and sell alcohol on a more frequent basis. This has business owners listening, like Campbell, who says he will check I.D.'s more seriously. He tells KCRG that he already has a new plan in place.
The Marion Police Department also offers free classes to local business owners on how to check I.D.'s more effectively. These numbers also place a new emphasis on the fact that people of age should be the only ones purchasing alcohol.

Armenkol — Citizens of the Armenkol area in Sirba locality, West Darfur, fear that yellow fever may have claimed two more lives and are now "in a state of panic and fear" they told Radio Dabanga.
Two people suffering severe bleeding and high fever died on Thursday leading locals to suspect the disease could be yellow fever, sources say.
Armenkol residents confirmed to Radio Dabanga they have not been vaccinated against the disease because the ministry of health indicated yellow fever had not reached the area.
Witnesses urged authorities to contain the situation before the disease spreads.
Ishaq Ahmed Yaqoub, health minister of West Darfur, told Radio Dabanga on Thursday he is not aware of the emergence of any cases of yellow fever in Armenkol.
He affirmed that the third phase of the vaccination campaign will be launched in the state, namely in Sirba and Kulbus localities, as vaccines arrive from Khartoum.
Over 840 people were diagnosed with the disease as of 23 January and 171 have died, according to WHO. The outbreak has affected more than 35 localities in Darfur.

nausea and vomiting brought on by AIDS medications remains to be determined in the clinic. Research on marijuana's antinausea properties has focused on chemotherapy-induced emesis (vomiting) in cancer patients and is discussed in depth in the next chapter. Several different types of antiemetic drugs (including substituted benazamides, serotonin receptor antagonists, and corticosteroids) have been used successfully by both AIDS patients and cancer patients, so there is reason to believe that cannabinoids could help both groups. On the other hand, clinical studies indicate that marijuana and THC do not control nausea and vomiting as effectively as do other medications.
Since a wide variety of factors influence emesis and each person responds to them differently, it is possible that certain patients would get better relief from marijuana-based medicines than from conventional treatments. That this is the case remains to be substantiated by controlled studies. In the meantime, some people with AIDS who take THC in the form of dronabinol (Marinol) to combat weight loss may also find that it reduces their feelings of nausea. AIDS patients who took the drug in a four-week clinical study showed a trend toward decreased nausea compared with those who took a placebo, as well as a significant increase in appetite.1
While both nausea and appetite loss play a role in wasting, the latter is the primary reason AIDS patients take Marinol. Weight loss is one of two indications for which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the drug for sale (the other is nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy). For people with HIV, loss of as little as 5 percent of their body weight appears to be life threatening. Death from wasting generally occurs when patients drop to more than one-third below their ideal weight.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines AIDS wasting syndrome as the involuntary loss of more than 10 percent of body weight, accompanied by diarrhea or fever that lasts more than 30 days and is not attributable to another illness. Wasting occurs through a combination of two different physiological

They are the same.
Re: SF Baking Institute
I have used their wicker baskets for about three years and they are wonderful! They give the loaf a disctinctive look and are durable and should last years. The lame works well also - better than others I have tried. I have some linen lined baskets from them as well but I don't use them often.
They sell both round and elongated wicker baskets. I use both but personally prefer the round for most purposes. I tend to use the elongated, oval ones for breads with nuts, olives, etc.
Good folks and well worth supporting IMO.
Re: SF Baking Institute
So, related to SFBI... I just had a birthday and asked my wife to get me the new Michel Suas book.
What an excellent resource: science, technology, technique, and recipes of bread, pastry, cake, cookies, sugarcraft, plated-dessert, and chocolate. A huge tome that I've just begun to appreciate... only because I've only just had the opportunity to flip pages rather than read. At sixty-dollars it ain't cheap, but it appear to be the equivelent of a textbook for an entire masters degree, if not PhD, in baking.
Just thought you'd be interested!
Re: SF Baking Institute
I checked that out from the library. It was not particularly useful to check out from the library because there is so much info in it, I did not have time to absorb any of it!!
May have to make it part of my permanent collection.

Re: SF Baking Institute
The more I look at this book, the more I realize I can now thin out my 100+ volume collection of cookbooks!
Re: SF Baking Institute
I'm falling behind. I still refer to Hamelman at least 3-4 times a week, I have only skimmed the new Reinhart whole grains book (yes, I am probably messing up a whole grain loaf with flax seeds as I write this), and now I can see that I need Suas. Help!
Plus, my birthday has passed. Maybe I can ask for it for Father's Day.

< I'm convinced! | Main | A Fun Time at the Fair >
August 25, 2006
Going to the Fair
Well, I'm going to the Fair today. It should be a good day for it, too. Not a lot of people and a little overcast. I plan on eating a lot, seeing some shows, and looking at the displays. And speaking of shows, this reminds me of a reaction I had to a couple of the shows I saw two years ago, and the method they use to get the crowd to cheer louder. Very annoying:
We also saw the 3rd Lair skate show, and the Extreme Team diving show. My kids, especially my middle child, really liked both shows. The skate show featured skate boarding and in-line skating and I was more impressed than I thought I would be. And the dive show, while a little hokey, definitely had me squirming in my seat. I don't know how anyone can climb so high and then jump. I could barely watch.
Both shows also aggravated me. I'll tell you why. In their attempts to get the crowds to cheer louder, both shows constantly used the old "We can't hear you" method to get us to yell and scream. You know what I am talking about:
Announcer: Do you want to see some diving?!?!
Crowd: Yaaaaay! Woooo! Yes! We would like to see some diving, thanks for asking!
Announcer: Oh, come on! I could barely even hear you. Now, do you want to see some diving?!?!?!?
Crowd: YEEEESSSS!!! Please dive for us! Woooo!!!! We are being louder!!
Announcer: I still can't hear you! I swear, we will just pack up and leave if we don't hear some REAL cheers this time! One more time, DO YOU WANT TO SEE SOME DIVING!?!?!?!?
Crowd: WOOOOOO!!!! CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, PLEASE LET US SEE SOME DIVING!!!! YOU HAVE WORKED US INTO A FRENZY THAT CAN ONLY BE SATISFIED BY PEOPLE JUMPING FROM OBSCENCE HEIGHTS INTO A SMALL POOL OF WATER!!!! YAAAAY!!!!!!
You get the picture. I have come to a point in my life where I find this tactic to be extremely annoying. I might do it once a show, but both the skate show and the dive show went through this cycle at least three times. I just had to stop cheering. That's right, I came to a point where I would risk not "seeing some diving" because I refused to play their little game anymore! So, if any would be announcers are out there reading this please spare your crowds this method of forcing cheers. We can probably handle it once, but three times is a little excessive.
I expect more of this today. Anyways, see you later. I'll let you know how it goes.
Go Twins!

When the Parkville High School football team plays its first home game this season, will the players be performing on a turf called Yates Field?
They will if Robert Gartside has his way. Gartside is a proud alumnus of Parkville, Class of 1969. His last season on the football team - where he played on the defensive line - was in the fall of 1968. Joseph Yates Sr. was an assistant football coach at Parkville then. Three years later, Yates became Baltimore County's first black high school head football coach.

No. 10 Women's Soccer Drops Opener
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Three first-half goals proved to be too much for the No. 10-ranked West Virginia University women's soccer team, as the Mountaineers fell 3-1 to No. 11 Penn State in their 2014 season opener tonight, at Jeffrey Field, in WVU's first of two matches at the Penn State Invitational.
The loss drops the Mountaineers to 8-9-2 in all-time season openers. Tonight was the third time the two teams have met in an opener since 2010, and the Nittany Lions now own a 6-5-1 edge in the all-time series.
"This was a team of two halves tonight," said Mountaineer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. "We looked completely different in the second half. We finally put it together, but we ran out of time, and you can't do that against a team like Penn State."
The Mountaineers (0-1) struggled to generate offense against the Nittany Lions (1-0), tallying three shots to PSU's nine. WVU did earn a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks. Both teams played chippy this evening, with 22 fouls called, including a yellow card on PSU's Mallory Weber.
WVU junior transfer Hannah Steadman made one save in her first action as a Mountaineer. PSU's Britt Eckerstrom also finished with one save.
Facing a three-goal deficit, the Mountaineers tallied their first score of 2014 in the 72nd minute, as sophomore defender Kadeisha Buchanan got a soft touch off her right foot about eight-yards out. The score followed a WVU corner kick, with junior forward Kelsie Maloney earning the assist.
The Mountaineers nearly cut their deficit to one goal in the 86th minute. Maloney fed the ball up the sideline to a streaking Kate Schwindel. Eckerstrom came out of the net to meet the senior forward but whiffed, giving Schwindel an open look. She sent the ball toward the net, but it skimmed the entire goal line before going just wide.
The Nittany Lions snagged a lead they would not relinquish in the 13th minute. Buchanan went low to clear a cross from PSU's Emily Hurd, but the ball slipped pass to Frannie Crouse, who turned into a clear look at the goal and put her low shot far post.
PSU earned a penalty kick five minutes later, with a late whistle on junior midfielder Cari Price giving the Nittany Lions the free chance, but midfielder Raquel Rodriguez's shot went far right of the goal.
Play off a corner kick allowed the Nittany Lions to pad their lead in the 20th minute. Packed within the goal box, PSU's Emily Ogle fed Kori Chapic the ball, and the midfielder was able to beat Steadman with a low header for the second goal.
With just over one minute left in the half, PSU made good on its second penalty kick, as Ogle put her shot high toward the far post, out of the reach of Steadman. WVU freshman defender Michaela Abam was whistled for the foul. The Houston native tangled with PSU's Schafer at the top of the box before both hit the ground.
Steadman earned her first save in a Mountaineer uniform 22 seconds into the match, as she came out to challenge a quick look from Hurd and blocked the shot with both hands.
Schwindel tallied the Mountaineers' lone shot on-goal of the half just one minute later, taking a shot from 16-yards out that was stopped by Eckerstrom.
Sophomore Ashley Lawrence had a great look in the 27th minute, taking a blast from 20-yards out off a pass from junior Amanda Hill, but it went just right of the net.
Tonight's contest was played in clear, humid weather. Kickoff was moved up two and a half hours due to the threat of inclement weather.
In addition to Steadman, junior defender Maggie Bedillion also earned her first career start.
The Mountaineers return to Jeffrey Field on Sunday, Aug. 24, for a noon meeting with Missouri. It is the first-ever contest between the two squads. The Tigers played to a 0-0 draw against Syracuse tonight on the PSU practice field.

London, UK (PRWEB) February 05, 2014
At present, the construction activities in preparation for the international massive sporting event held in Russia, the World Cup 2018, are in the planning stages and in several cases, already underway. It the in the next five years, at least USD 21 billion (RUB 664 billion) will be spent from regional and federal coffers, as well as by private investors in the run-up to the FIFA World Cup 2018. Primarily, officials of host cities submitted construction projects to be developed during the preparation for the sport tournament, with a combined investment of around USD 43 billion (RUB 1.39 trillion); approximately half of this sum is to be provided by the Russian Government and one third – by private investors. However, this value only includes a minor share of transportation infrastructure projects which are to be implemented in host cities by mid-2018.
The transportation infrastructure in Russia prepared for the 2018 FIFA is planned to be modernized on a large scale. Moreover, through 2018, around USD 36 billion (RUB 1.137 trillion) is expected to be allocated by the private investors as well as by the Russian government on the construction, reconstruction and modernization of 10 major highways, which are likely to be used for travelling between the host cities of the World Cup 2018.
In-demand research study "World Cup 2018 in Russia" drawn up by PMR has been recently published by Market Publishers Ltd.
Report Details:
Title: World Cup 2018 in Russia
Published: August, 2013
Pages: 143
Price: US$ 2,800.00
The topical report highlights the construction projects which are underway ahead of the World Cup 2018 in Russia, and also contains a whole set of detailed information on the current/upcoming construction works. It examines the investments in the main project categories, reviews the progress and expected date of the completion of the current projects in such project categories like communications, facilities, hotels, restaurants and transportation infrastructure. The publication presents an extensive summary of the latest news together with an insightful overview of the major issues of concern related to the preparations for the 2018 sporting event. The study grants access to the cutting-edge value estimates for the overall project groups and each separate category of construction, discloses the financing details for different types of projects, covers the contractors already engaged in preparations and those who are expected to enter the market. The report identifies dates for the expected peak of the construction activities ahead of the tournament, as well as highlights the main architectural and design companies involved in the top projects.

Worship Wednesday: Finding Rest
For just about all of us, schools have started. And with summer coming to a close, the seasons are about to change.
Can you feel it?
I've already began to notice more and more leaves on the ground and I'm sure you have too. I'm convinced there's very few things more beautiful than a Tennessee fall. It's one of those things that make you crave warm blankets, homemade chili, football, and laughter with friends.
Maybe it's just me, but before I let the business of a new school year, and the fast approaching fall take over, I'm finding more and more of a desire for rest.
Even saying the words out loud bring about an exhaling sort of emptying – a good kind of emptying.
And without that emptying you can't create any margin to be filled.
Studies now show us that without rest, our bodies start to slowly shut down, creating all sorts of compounding health problems.
Slowing down and finding rest, is part of why I haven't posted in a week.
And you know what, the most amazing thing has happened; I've been reminded of some things that really matter.
Rest does that. It's meant to. It was purposed to.
Rest, disconnects us from the unimportant and reconnects us to the stuff that really matters. (Encourage someone and tweet that)
I've made a small list of things that matter and don't matter to me. You should make your own.
What doesn't matter
- How many subscribers I have
- How many twitter followers I have
- How many page visits, clicks, or any other version of metrics
What does matter
- Being a better father
- Being a better husband
- Loving and serving well, those already around me
Finding rest is to find and declare freedom.
Tim Keller says this beautifully:
When you refuse to make time for rest, or when you fail to create space for any form of sabbath, effectively what you're doing is replacing authentic worship for idol worship.
The story of your life is telling your audience, those whose attention you hold, like your family, what really matters to you.
You're probably like me in that there is something you desire, something you dream of and pursuing those desires, chasing after those dreams can slowly take over everything else to the point where you forget why you're doing any of those things at all.
That's the beauty of slowing down, and finding rest.
Do you create space for rest?
Do you intentionally leave room for margin in your life?

I'm 20 yrs old. I've been lifting for just under a year, but only with a decent routine for about the last 4 months, and its time to get serious. I'm hoping that this journal/diary will help me analyse my progress better and hopefully give me some feedback from everyone on how im doing.
I'm 5'11, and currently around 71~kg (157~lb) @ ~12%, and I'm aiming to gain 10lb in the following 3 months. I've gained about 10lb since I started lifting, and stayed lean, although im still lifting pu**y weight.
Lately i've started eating a lot more, trying to up my cals to something respectable, and I seem to gaining faster. I work 9-5 and go to the gym after work 3 times a week. It takes me about 1.5 hours to get there from work, and 45mins back, so its a bitch, but keeps me disciplined.
Here's my split:
Monday - Chest/Tris
Dips 10 x 3
Flat chest press 12-8 x 3
Flat Bench Press 12-8 x 3
Incline DB Press 12-8 x 4
Pec Deck 12 x 3
Tricep Pushdown 12-8 x 4
Wednesday - Back/Bis
Wide Grip Pullups 8 x 3
Lat Pulley Wide 12-8 x 3
One Arm Dumbbell Row 12-8 x 3
Narrow Seated Back 8 x 4
Barbell Curl 8 x 3
Hammer Curls 12 x 3 [dropsets]
Friday - Shoulders/Legs
Military Press 12-8 x 3
Machine Shoulder Press 8 x 2
Dumbbell Lying Rear Lateral Raise 10 x 3
Dumbell Lateral Raise 10 x 4
Shrugs 12 x 3
BB Squat warmup 20 x 1
45 deg leg press 12 x 4
Conventional deadlift 8 x 3 [just started doing these!]
Lunges 12 x 3
Seated calve raise 12 x 3
leg extension 12 x 3
leg curl 12 x 2 [might take this out as hammies get wasted after dl]
Weekends - Abs/Forearms
Weighted Crunches 15 x 4
[sometimes] Wrist Curls/Extensions 15 x 3
I dont really have a set diet, but what I eat is always pretty clean: ready meals at work [beef/lamb with potato etc.], chicken sandwhiches, eggs, oatmeal, rivita, rolls, turkey, salmon, sardines, tuna etc. I dont actually count my cals, I just try to eat as much clean food as I can.
I'm on antibiotics for my acne right now, which have to be taken on an empty stomach, which sucks as it takes 2-3 hours for food to leave the stomach and I have to wait another half-hour/hour before eating after taking it. So in the morning I can eat only 2 meals. annnyyyway, I will have finished the antibiotics in like 2 months, they seem to be working pretty good.
I drink a weight gainer after my workout and over the weekend, or when I cant be assed to make a meal. I also take multivits in the morning and L-Glutamine before bed.
Tonight is shoulders/legs!
Now, back to work before I get caught

Improv Everywhere: Say Something Nice
New York is not a particularly unfriendly place, but the city's inhabitants are busy and – as is the case in any bustling metropolis – niceties between strangers are rare. Thankfully, art/prank collective Improv Everywhere, famed for creating a mind-boggling human mirror on the subway, recently offered New Yorkers the chance to say something nice to their fellow city dwellers. They did, as this video shows, with enthusiastic aplomb. It's nice to be nice we think.

The coming days and weeks are going to be crammed full of news, and we are excited to share the first few items of that today. Firstly, we have just released a brand new, much more polished launcher. We hope this will be the final time we have to update it, but either way we are very happy with how the new version has turned out. Everyone will be able to update automatically via patch, so no need to worry about re-downloading the game. To note, some users may need to download the latest version of C++ redistributable.
To make that easier, we have included a download link in our forum thread for the new launcher, found here:Playedgeofspace.com
We would also like to let everyone know that time is quickly running out now for the pre-order prices and offers. Be sure to get in and get the game now to still be entitled to a Steam key when we launch on Early Access!
Once we are selling on Steam, copies purchased on Desura or RainDG will no longer come with a Steam key.Since launch on EA is looming closer, we will be releasing details soon for how to obtain and redeem Steam keys for all of our pre-order and Kickstarter customers. We know everyone is plenty anxious to start playing through Steam, and we are so excited to be getting so close! It still feels so surreal to the team, watching all of the work we've done over the last year come to this point.Keep an eye on the forums and community, there is plenty more news on the horizon! Stay awesome, ArkCo Operatives, and we'll see you next time for ArkCo News!
games looking so awesome btw,watched on dtoid streams yesterday
Thanks! It was great to meet you! <3
Hey this game is cool and i downloaded it played a bit(buyed it) I like it pretty much BUT when i started playing it the day after it sayed on desura =PLEASE REINSTALL PROGRAM NOT WORKING=or something like that and when i checked the site,i already deinstalled it and need to rebuy it so IF i could get another copy of the game here i would be happy becoz i got my cool armor and stuff and now its all gone!
The game can't "un-purchase" itself. You never have to re-buy the game over tech support issues, but you will need to contact Desura customer service for assistance. Edge of Space does not run through Desura, it gives you a game key which you must activate on Arkdrop.com by making an account. If you have not done this, the game will not play. After making a purchase you are shown your CD Keys page, and can find your game key there.
Welcome to our 2nd Free Beta Weekend! Stop by for your 3 day beta key, and an awesome Mr. Destructoid helmet!
Sorry for being so silent, we are pushing REALLY HARD for PAX
so...like scifi terria sorta cool. looks good
If you pre-order Edge of Space through Desura, you will be able to request a Steam key if and when Edge of Space Launches on Steam. Head over to Greenlight to help make that happen! (http://bit.ly/X3NMIw) Don't forget pre-purchasing gives you Beta access!
Hey Devs, I was wondering if I buy this game now, and it gets Greenlighted on Steam, am I going to have to buy it again on Steam? Thanks in advance.
We most definitely WANT to give Steam keys with pre-orders, we just have to work with Steam on making that happen when we Greenlight. :)
Highest Rated (18 agree) 10/10
Edge of Space is already a fantastic game, and getting better every day. The amount of progress since Day 1 beta back in June is absolutely staggering, and I can't wait to watch it get even better

Lowest Rated (6 agree) 2/10
Not really impressed by this so far, I think I might stick with starbound when it comes out soon, since the developers are already almost going to release it soon! This game wasn't much of a bang for your buck and wish I didn't spend the money.

Your article, "Sniff'n'shake", took an uncritical view of the fragrance industry (3 January, p 34).
"Ghetto-blaster" perfumes, lurking air "fresheners", and, worst of all, the ineradicable stenches which some people wash into their clothes, are making something like a scent hell. These materials are becoming the greatest environmental influence in everyone's lifestyle.
Could they account for children who can neither concentrate at school nor relax at home without drugs?
The sense of smell exists partly to guard the lungs, which receive a massive dose of whatever the nose detects. Are these fragrance materials safe?

- Lubricated bearings make for the smoothest sliding action.
- Typical ball-bearing slides sell for about $8 to $25 per pair. Additional features, such as self-closing mechanisms or higher weight ratings, increase this cost.

I do it the other way around. Attach the slide to the cabinet. Put a piece of hardboard on the floor of the cabinet. Set the drawer on the hardboard, and pull it and the cabinet slides slightly out. Attach the first fasteners. Pull the drawer and slide out a little more and attach the next fastener. Repeat. Remove the spacer. Use a thicker spacer between the bottom drawer and next drawer and repeat.7/7/2014 04:59:58 PM Report Abuse

Once a rough and gritty center for the steelmaking industry, Pittsburgh is now home to one lone blast furnace and a wide assortment of other industries. Pittsburgh has a tremendous base of headquarters operations for U.S. and some foreign companies in a variety of industries from banking to food processing to steel and heavy manufactured goods to pharmaceuticals. These include Alcoa, HJ Heinz, PNC Bank, PPG Industries, Mellon Bank, US Steel, Allegheny Technologies, Wesco, Bayer North America, GlaxoSmithKline, American Eagle Outfitters, General Nutrition Centers, and more.
The former grime and smoke have largely blown away, leaving a livable city with historic and revitalized neighborhoods and plenty to do. Employment is shifting from blue-collar to professional jobs, although there have been some dislocations in recent years due to mergers and general corporate downsizing.
Pittsburgh is a city of neighborhoods. Steep hills rise on all sides of town; some neighborhoods can be reached by a 19th-century incline tram from the central city. The neighborhoods have unique identities and the city's planning department recognizes more than 90 in all. The population is ethnically diverse. The downtown area is vibrant and active, with nightlife along the river and ample downtown shopping.
Excellent residential neighborhoods and suburban towns extend in all directions. The Moon Township area (west above the river) is the fastest growing and one of the best family areas, while older suburbs like Mt Lebanon and Bethel Park (to the south) and McCandless and Allison Park (north) are all worth a look. These areas have generously spaced, high quality housing for the price.
The area is well known for its sports, education, and cultural amenities. Pittsburgh has major league teams in football (Steelers), hockey (Penguins), and baseball (Pirates). Fan support and interest, particularly for the Steelers football team, is legendary. The new Heinz Field and PNC Park are attractive, accessible sports venues.
Educational opportunities are excellent, particularly with Duquesne and Carnegie-Mellon universities and the University of Pittsburgh. The city has excellent public transportation facilities, especially for neighborhoods closer to downtown. It is the major hub for US Airways.
Early industrial wealth endowed the city with numerous cultural assets. The Carnegie-endowed museums, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the PPG Aquarium and the zoo are all noted in their fields. For all of this, the Cost of Living Index is a bargain. Crime is also lower than expected given the area's gritty industrial history. The area is an excellent place for corporate professionals or small businesses supporting corporations, and is an excellent place to raise a family. The main downsides are weather (cloudy and variable), employment shifts, and some decayed areas.
Downtown Pittsburgh sits at the confluence of the "Three Rivers" (Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio), about 100 miles south of Lake Erie. Most of Pittsburgh lies in a narrow valley, with high, wooded bluffs surrounding the city. The climate is a humid continental type modified slightly by the Atlantic Seaboard and the Great Lakes. Summers are warm, still, and humid with periodic thunderstorms and occasional cooling from the northwest. Winters are cool and variable with intermittent periods of freezing and thawing. Precipitation is distributed evenly throughout the year. Cool northwest winds deliver moisture from the Great Lakes, creating persistent cloudy conditions and showers especially in winter. The area has the most cloudy days in the state, and is among the cloudiest in the country. Fog may persist in the valleys during colder months. First freeze is mid-October, last is end of April.

OK, to be more accurate, how you might be able to score a free Windows Phone. Collect up (erm, invent, write, manufacture?) your story of how a piece of Android software contained malware and present it to Microsoft. If your tale of woe is sufficiently awful they might give you a free phone.
Do you have an Android malware horror story? Reply with #DroidRage with your best/worst story and we may have a get-well present for you.
— Windows Phone (@windowsphone) December 5, 2012
Given that there have indeed been instances of malicious Android apps – some seemingly nothing but malicious, others just leaving vulnerabilities – it would seem that there could be a large number who could enter.
The thing we don't know is how many marks are going to be awarded for the awfulness of the experience and how many for the originality of the tale's telling. If I were running the competition then the latter would be the important part – which is probably why I'm an online journalist not an executive in a large and profitable company. I would, for example, award top marks to a video that started with some piece of Android malware and then led, to a 12 bar blues soundtrack, to "my baby done left me and the dog don't like me no more" cliche of the musical genre.
This could well be not what Microsoft is looking for. Or they could be, you never know.
Or perhaps it should be modelled on the Bricklayer's Lament by Gerard Hoffnung.
I would be fascinated to see any such entries that you might come up with.
