Family history is a common risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), yet it is often underused to guide risk assessment and the provision of risk-appropriate CRC screening recommendation. The aim of this study was to identify from a patient perspective health care providers' current practice relating to: (i) assessment of family history of CRC; (ii) notification of "increased risk" to patients at "moderately/potentially high" familial risk; and (iii) recommendation that patients undertake CRC screening.
1592 persons aged 56-88 years randomly selected from the Hunter Community Study (HCS), New South Wales, Australia were mailed a questionnaire. 1117 participants (70%) returned a questionnaire.
Thirty eight percent of respondents reported ever being asked about their family history of CRC. Ever discussing family history of CRC with a health care provider was significantly more likely to occur for persons with a higher level of education, who had ever received screening advice and with a lower physical component summary score. Fifty one percent of persons at "moderately/potentially high risk" were notified of their "increased risk" of developing CRC. Thirty one percent of persons across each level of risk had ever received CRC screening advice from a health care provider. Screening advice provision was significantly more likely to occur for persons who had ever discussed their family history of CRC with a health care provider and who were at "moderately/potentially high risk".
Effective interventions that integrate both the assessment and notification of familial risk of CRC to the wider population are needed. Systematic and cost-effective mechanisms that facilitate family history collection, risk assessment and provision of screening advice within the primary health care setting are required.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening: reduces the burden of disease
Worldwide, CRC comprises 9.4% of all cancer cases with one million diagnoses annually [1]. Survival from CRC is highly stage-dependent yet fewer than 40% of CRCs are diagnosed at a localised stage [2]. Screening is a cost-effective mechanism that reduces the incidence and mortality associated with CRC [3-5]. Population-based screening is recommended for those aged 50 years or older, with average-risk persons recommended to receive periodical Faecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) screening or endoscopy screening, dependent on screening guidelines [6,7]. Several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have indicated it is possible to reduce mortality from CRC mortality by 15% to 33% with Faecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) screening on either an annual or biennial basis[3,4,8-10]. Recent RCT evidence of once-only flexible sigmoidoscopy for persons 55-64 years of age provides strong evidence for the substantial and long-term benefit of this procedure [11]. This study indicated a one-third reduction of incidence and 40% reduction in mortality for persons undertaking sigmoidoscopy screening [11]. Although colonoscopy remains untested in randomised trials, case control and cohort studies using large-bowel endoscopy have shown a CRC mortality reduction rate ranging from 60% to 76% [12] and incidence reduction of 76% to 90% [5].
Family history is a common and important risk factor
Relatives of CRC patients are a group that can benefit from targeted screening or prevention programs [13]. Approximately 15% to 20% of CRC cases occur in persons who have a first degree relative with the disease [14-16]. Relative risk is up to two-fold for persons with a first-degree relative diagnosed with CRC and three- to six- fold for families with additional factors such as early onset of CRC or multiple relatives affected [6,17]. The presence of genetically-based familial syndromes, such as hereditary non-polyposis CRC (HNPCC) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) further increases the risk of CRC in first-degree relatives [7,14]. Screening guidelines in Australia categorise asymptomatic individuals into three levels of risk: "at or slightly above average risk"; "moderately increased risk'; and "potentially high risk". Risk is quantified based on family history of CRC: number and type of relative diagnosed (first or second-degree relative) and their age at diagnosis, with additional high-risk features considered [6].
CRC risk assessment in the primary care setting
Health care providers play an integral role in cancer control by identifying those individuals whose behaviour, environment or family history place them at increased risk of CRC [18].
In Australia, CRC screening guidelines entrust healthcare providers with preventive practices relating to: patient family history of CRC assessment; the notification of persons at increased-risk; and the provision of risk-appropriate CRC screening advice [6]. However, evidence suggests that family-health histories are seldom taken in primary-care [19]. This may be due to the competing demands for care and time factors that are placed on general practitioners [20,21]. In addition, the complexity of familial-risk interpretation and the lack of systematic collection and assessments methods to assist primary-care providers further compound this problem [19]. Retrospective chart audits have demonstrated that 40% to 55% of patient medical records include important family history information (i.e. the presence or absence of breast or bowel cancer) [22,23]. Clinicians' self reported rate of patient family history assessment ranges from 30% to 90% [24,25]. Direct observation studies suggest discussion of family history may occur in 51% of visits by new patients and 22% of visits with established patients [26]. However, relatively little is known about current practice relating to health care providers' identification and notification of persons at elevated-risk of CRC. The few studies [18,23,27,28] which have assessed this issue have been conducted within North American family practice settings adopting patient record audit.
The opportunity often missed: CRC screening recommendation to patients
Medical practitioner recommendation can increase the likelihood of complying with CRC screening up to 23-times [29,30], with over 75% of persons reporting that they would undertake screening if it were recommended by a doctor [31,32]. Nonetheless, CRC screening recommendations are neither routinely nor consistently provided to at-risk patients [33-36]. Population-based data from the United States National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) indicated that only 10% of under-screened patients who had visited their doctor in the previous year had received a CRC screening recommendation [35]. In Australia, a recent evaluation of at-risk persons (aged 30-70 years) presenting to an out-patient hospital setting identified that 22% of persons had ever received any CRC screening recommendation from their medical practitioner [37].
To our knowledge the current study presents as the first community-based evaluation of health care providers practice relating to CRC family history assessment and notification of "increased risk" to persons at elevated levels of familial risk ("moderately increased/potentially high risk"). Further, the socio-demographic, lifestyle or psychosocial factors associated with family history assessment of CRC and provision of screening advice outside of the general practice setting is understudied [35]. Both the identification of these factors and sub-groups less likely to receive CRC family history assessment and screening advice is of importance for the development and improvement of future preventive programs in the general practice setting. The aim of this study was to examine among a community-based cohort of at-risk persons (aged 56-88 years), the proportion of respondents:
(i) Who had ever been asked by a health care provider about their family history of CRC
(ii) At elevated levels of familial risk ("moderately increased/potentially high risk") who had been notified by a health care provider of their "increased risk" of developing CRC.
(iii) Who had ever received CRC screening advice from a health care provider.
Socio-demographic, clinical and psychosocial characteristics associated with ever asked about family history of CRC and ever received CRC screening advice were identified.
Design and study population
The Hunter Community Study (HCS) sample is a longitudinal cohort of community dwelling men and women aged 55-85 years at baseline in the Hunter Region, NSW, Australia [38]. Participants were randomly selected from the NSW State electoral roll between December 2004 and 2007. The HCS cohort reflects the Hunter Region, state and national profiles for gender and marital status, but is slightly younger in age [38]. A randomly selected sub-sample of HCS participants (n = 1592) aged 56-88 years at time of survey (November, 2009) were mailed a pen and paper questionnaire.
Respondents were asked about health care providers' practice relating to assessment of family history of CRC - "Has any health professional e.g. your doctor, ever asked if you have a family history of bowel cancer" (Yes/No), notification of "increased risk" of developing CRC - "Did this person discuss whether there was a possible 'increased risk' of developing bowel cancer for you or your family members?" (Yes/No), and the provision of CRC screening information - "Has any health professional suggested that you or your relatives should do any of the following: Please choose all that apply." (i. Start having screening tests for bowel cancer/ii. Talk to their doctor about screening tests/iii. No advice has ever been given/iv. Take other action related to bowel cancer (please specify___). Responses to questions relating to ever asked about family history of CRC by a health care provider and notification of possible increased risk were used to derive a Discussion of family history of CRC with doctor variable with three levels (never discussed, discussed and informed of possible "increased risk", discussed and not informed of possible "increased risk"). Respondents' answers concerning provision of CRC screening information were used to derive an ever received screening advice from doctor variable (Yes/No). Respondents indicating (i), (ii), or (iv) were coded as ("Yes") to receiving screening advice while respondents answering (iii) were coded as ("No").
Respondents familial risk based on self reported family history of CRC
Respondents were asked separately whether any first- or second- degree relatives had ever been diagnosed with CRC and if so, their age at diagnosis. Survey items used to assess family history of CRC are presented in Additional file 1: Appendix A. Respondents' self reported family history of CRC was used to allocate persons to their level of risk in accordance with current clinical practice guidelines (see Table 1).

Statistical Analysis
Frequency distributions (n/%) with 95% confidence interval were used to assess the proportion of respondents that had ever been asked about their family history of CRC by a health care provider (Yes/No) and ever received CRC screening advice (Yes/No). For persons at elevated level of risk ("moderately increased/potentially high risk") the proportion notified of their "increased risk" was identified. The following items selected from the HCS databank were assessed as potential correlates of ever asked about family history of CRC and ever received CRC screening advice: Socio-demographic and lifestyle, i.e. age, gender, education, marital status, country of birth, household income, retirement, private health insurance status, tobacco or alcohol use; Clinical, i.e. general practice visits per year, previous cancer diagnosis (excluding CRC), body mass index, and co-morbidity (e.g. high cholesterol, hypertension, asthma, diabetes); and psychosocial, i.e. physical health, assessed using the physical health component summary score (PCS) on the short form health survey SF-36 [39], and mental health assessed using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10) [40]. The PCS is a physical health summary score aggregated from the physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain and general-health scales on the SF-36 [41]. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent factors associated with ever asked about family history of CRC by a health care provider and ever received CRC screening advice. Variables with a p value < .25 following simple logistic regression analysis (See Additional file 1: Appendix B) were entered into multiple logistic regression model (with both forward and backward stepwise elimination used to check consistency of results). Variables that met the significance cut-point of (p value < .05) were entered into the final model. Data were analysed using STATA 11 (STATA, Texas, USA).
Ethics approval
The University of Newcastle and Hunter New England Population Health Human Research Ethics Committees granted ethical approval.
Characteristics of the sample
Of the 1592 mailed surveys, 1117 respondents completed and returned surveys (response rate, 70%). Respondents previously diagnosed with CRC (n = 24) or reporting they had undergone major abdominal surgery (n = 8) were excluded from analysis, leaving a total sample of 1085 eligible participants with data. 1061 participants provided adequate family history information for the purposes of risk allocation. Socio-demographic characteristics and the proportion of respondents at each level of risk are presented in Table 2.
Table 2. Socio-demographic characteristics of study respondents (n = 1085)
Family history of CRC assessment
1050 respondents provided information on "ever asked about family history of CRC by a health care provider" (Yes/No). Overall 38.3% (95% CI, 35.3 - 41.3) of respondents had ever been asked if they had a family history of CRC by a health care provider. Risk category specific rates were as follows: "at or slightly above average risk" (36.6%, 33.6 - 39.7), "moderately increased risk" (54.9%, 40.3 - 68.9) and "potentially high risk" (65.6%, 45.7 - 82.1). Table 3 presents the results of the multiple logistic regression analysis. Persons with a higher education (university or other tertiary study), ever receiving screening advice from a health care provider and with lower physical component summary (PCS) score on the SF-36 were significantly more likely to have ever had been asked about their family history of CRC by a health care provider.

Health care providers' practice relating to notification of "increased risk" to persons at elevated levels of risk ("moderately increased/potentially high risk")
Of the 82 respondents classified at "moderately increased risk" or "potentially high risk", 78 persons provided information relating to "discussion of family history of CRC with doctor". 42.3% (95% CI 31.2 - 54.0) of such persons had never been asked by a health care provider about their family history of CRC. 51.3% (39.7 - 62.8) had been both asked about their family history of CRC and notified of possible "increased risk". A further 6.4% (2.1-14.3) had been asked about their family history of CRC but were not informed of any possible "increased risk".
Health care providers' practice relating to CRC screening recommendation
Across the entire cohort 978 respondents provided information on CRC screening advice. Overall, 31.1% (95% CI 28.2 - 34.1) of respondents had ever received screening advice from a health care provider. Risk-specific rates of receiving screening advice for persons were: 27.7% (24.8 - 30.7) for those "at or slightly above average risk", 67.3% (24.8-30.7) for those at "moderately increased risk" and 80.8% (60.6-93.4) for those at "potentially high risk". Multiple logistic regression analysis (See Table 4) found that persons: at elevated level of risk ("moderately increased/potentially high risk") and who had ever discussed family history of CRC with doctor irrespective of whether informed of "increased risk" were significantly more likely to ever had received screening advice from a health care provider.
Table 4. Multiple logistic regression analysis (n = 956)* of factors associated with ever receiving CRC screening advice from a health care provider
Risk notification and CRC screening recommendation for persons at elevated levels of risk ("moderately increased/potentially high risk")
Of the 82 respondents at either 'moderately increased risk' or 'potentially high risk' 72 persons provided information on both 'discussion of family history of CRC with doctor' and 'ever received CRC screening advice'. For respondents at each respective level of risk; 95% (38/40) of persons notified of their 'increased risk' of CRC had ever received screening advice compared to 37% (10/27) of respondents who had never discussed their family history of CRC with a doctor. Eighty per cent (4/5) of persons who had discussed their family history of CRC with a doctor but were not informed of their 'increased risk' had ever received CRC screening advice.
Study findings indicate that opportunities for earlier detection of CRC are being missed, with 38% of all respondents ever asked about their family history of CRC by a health care provider. Of concern is that close to half of persons at "moderately increased/potentially high risk" had not been notified of their "increased risk" by a health care provider. Overall, the rate of screening advice was low with approximately one-third of respondents irrespective of risk category ever receiving CRC screening advice from a health care provider.
Risk-based colorectal cancer screening
Before further consideration of study findings, the importance of "risk-based" screening and some constraints of population-level CRC screening must be addressed. Population-level screening has demonstrated effectiveness with RCTs indicating a CRC mortality reduction between 15 to 33% [3,4,8-10], with a slightly higher benefit secured from sigmoidoscopic screening [11]. At present, there is still no RCT evidence for colonoscopy screening. While population-level screening indicates efficacy for the "average risk" population it does not cater for the tailored screening requirements of higher risk groups. Risk-based screening, as adopted in the Australian clinical practice guidelines [6], is an attempt to address the critical relationship between strong family history of CRC and the increased likelihood of developing the disease. This risk-based approach to screening, also acknowledges the problem of over screening, which can be harmful, costly and unnecessary. While it is pertinent all patients receive CRC screening advice from their healthcare provider, it is critical that family history of cancer discussions guide risk-appropriate CRC screening provision to patients. Correct risk assignment and clinical management is of critical importance for patients with family histories suggestive of hereditary cancer syndromes.
Family history assessment in the primary care setting
Family history assessment is important for identification of those who may benefit from tailored screening or referral to genetic services. This study suggests that the important first-step in identification of risk - discussion of family history of CRC- often does not occur. Such findings are consistent with previous data identifying poor documentation of family history information in the family practice setting [18,23,26,28,42]. It must be acknowledged that family history assessment and notification of risk does not ensure continued adherence to screening recommendations [43]. Nonetheless, risk communication is an essential prerequisite to patients' understanding of their risk. Current study findings suggest the need for strategies that help to improve the assessment of family history of CRC and the identification of potential familial risk in the primary care-setting
Improving family history assessment and referral
Health care providers report the need for clear guidance on the risk stratification and referral process of patients [44,45]. Further refinement of user-friendly guidelines that help to facilitate identification and referral of increased-risk patients is an important yet necessary step forward as suggested by other researchers [18,42,44,46]. The cumbersome and time-consuming nature of family history assessment has been a barrier to accurate assessment of familial risk [46-48], which may in part be overcome by the advent of computerised Cancer Risk Assessment Tools (CRATs) which have helped to standardise and simplify family history assessment [49,50]. Interventions using this technology designed to efficiently assess and automate risk stratification are likely to increase the utility of family history assessment in the primary health care setting [51]. Recent cluster randomised controlled trials have demonstrated this tool's effectiveness in the management of familial breast and CRC including a trial which compared a computer decision support aid versus best evidence practice (education and guideline dissemination) [19,52].
Improving the CRC screening message to the at-risk population
Current findings indicate the need for practice-based strategies that systematically prompt health care providers to encourage CRC screening among at-risk patients, especially given patients are often reluctant to initiate discussions [53]. Little data exists on how often CRC screening is included in office reminder systems and the reasons for under utilisation in the primary health care setting [53]. Although meta-analyses have demonstrated that minimal prompts to patients and providers are effective in enhancing CRC screening with FOBT[54], research suggests very limited use of such reminder systems for CRC screening [54,55]. Intuitively maximising the wider adoption of simple systematic practice-based interventions that include prompts to health care providers for CRC screening may assist in elevating CRC screening rates across the at-risk population.
Study limitations
The findings should be interpreted in light of some methodological limitations. Health care providers' practices relating to preventive measures in this study were based on self-report with associated potential for recall bias. Self-reported family history of CRC was not validated against objective sources, a limitation however that is consistent with other published studies that have used patient record audit [18,23,28]. For a small minority of respondents at "moderately increased/potentially high risk", the level of risk may have been overestimated. For respondents indicating that both a first- and second-degree relative were diagnosed with CRC, an assumption was made that both relatives were diagnosed on the same side of the family. Participants' report of health care providers' assessment of patient family history of CRC may have been underestimated due to several factors including recall bias. It is possible that health care providers may have asked a broader question about family history of cancer or respondents could have instigated family history discussions without health care providers' initiation. However, the literature suggests such patient initiation is rare[53]. Alternatively, health care providers may have been aware of a persons' familial risk from information obtained previously from other relatives in the family with notification of "increased risk" given on this basis. Further, it is important to consider that for some persons their risk-status may have changed over-time (since first discussion of family history with a doctor). That is, some persons asked about their family history of CRC (years prior to survey completion) may have had no family history of CRC at this time and were correctly notified of no "increased risk", yet at a later stage, following a relative's diagnosis of CRC were notified by a doctor of their "increased risk". While this may have occurred in a small number of persons, the literature suggests that periodic updating of family history of CRC information is seldom conducted in the primary-care setting [22,26,56]. Subsequently, it is highly possible that for the most part, persons with a changed family history of CRC overtime would not have been notified of their changed risk status. Finally, some participants (recently turning 55 or 65 years of age) may have had recent contact with the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program prior to survey completion. As part of this program, an FOBT screening invitation and information on familial risk and CRC screening is provided, which may have increased CRC awareness in this particular respondent group.
The current study's evaluation of patient self-report suggests that family history of CRC discussions with a health care provider had occurred in a minority of cases. Consequently, many families at the greatest risk of developing CRC may have missed a vital opportunity to gain benefits from increased risk notification, risk-appropriate screening and adequate referral to genetic consultation. Greater emphasis on the refinement and development of user-friendly referral guidelines, the wider incorporation of office-based reminder and computer-based technology to facilitate risk assessment and CRC screening recommendation is required.

We challenged three teams of four surfers to conceptualize and produce a unique and creative photo submission, which appears in our November issue. They were also responsible for a short video submission, which you can enjoy below. The themes and ideas were up to them, and they were free to use any props, lighting, and equipment. The only rule was no Photoshop. Submissions were judged by the TransWorld SURF edit staff, as well as editors from TW SNOWboarding and TW SKATEboarding.
Body Glove won this year's Imaginarium and scored the cover, but we want to hear from you. The team with the most votes will win this year's Reader's Choice award.

Personal Liberty Poll
A new report from the American Action Forum (AAF) suggests President Barack Obama may have had this year's midterm elections in mind when coordinating the implementation of a bevy of new environmental, health, finance and labor regulations.
"After reviewing the administration's most recent agenda of federal rulemakings, it appears there are at least 15 major regulations scheduled for release after the upcoming midterms," AAF wrote in a report released Thursday. "Combined, just six of these rules could impose more than $34 billion in costs."
AAF, which describes itself as a "center-right policy institute," noted the $34 billion estimate may be a very conservative one. The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ground-level ozone standards plan, scheduled to be published in December of this year, "actually does not have an attached cost," AAF noted, observing that the same standards, which Obama vetoed in 2011, were projected at the time to cost $90 billion.
The report acknowledges that many of these regulations have been in the works for a long time. However, the White House has already demonstrated — as it is now doing with the EPA's controversial carbon proposals, which are still in the public comment phase — that it may have had politics in mind, all along, by coordinating with Federal agencies to ensure unpopular policies won't be enacted until after Election Day.
Whether that's a coincidence is, of course, a matter of speculation. But that speculation is reasonable to anyone who observed the Obama Administration's post-election timing of new rules back in 2012.
"Recently, numerous reports have highlighted how the White House delayed controversial regulations until after Election Day in 2012," AAF wrote. "… Many of these [new] regulations are controversial, including the GHG [greenhouse gas] rule, and have spent years in the courts and the rulemaking process. Regardless of possible motive, if this schedule remains in place, there will be no shortage of major regulations issued immediately after Election Day."
For a tabular breakdown of the rules changes that won't come until after the November elections, see AAF's full report.

Annual "In My Back Yard" Public Service Day
What is "IMBY"? Simply put, IMBY is the opposite of NIMBY... it's a celebration of everything good in our community and a chance to be part of positive work being done at various organizations all over the District. IMBY sets the tone for the spirit of public service and community involvement that pervades at WCL.
For 1Ls, IMBY is a fun way to kick off orientation week, get out and see the city, and meet new classmates in a relaxed environment. For 2Ls, 3Ls, faculty and staff, IMBY is a chance to reconnect with the community and to welcome incoming 1Ls in the spirit of public service.
IMBY participation is counted towards WCL's Pro Bono Honors Pledge Program, which recognizes graduating students who have completed a minimum of 75 hours of pro bono legal assistance and community service. The Pro Bono Honors Pledge Program is one part of WCL's focus on public interest work and community engagement.

Right to Know
Information about chemical risks provides citizens and businesses with the knowledge to protect their families and property, hold facilities responsible for reducing risk, and increase awareness of chemical safety.
The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, EPCRA, requires facilities to submit information about annual releases of toxic chemicals. That information is available from the Environmental Protection Agency's Toxic Release Inventory.
The Chemical Accident Prevention Program builds on existing chemical information and emergency planning requirements. It requires regulated facilities to submit Risk Managment Plans which summarize their release prevention program, emergency response program and potential impact of accidental release.
To find out if your home, school or business is located in a vulnerable area of a potential accidental release, contact your county emergency manager.
Data contained in risk management plans, except accidental release scenarios, are available on the Internet. Due to security concerns, electronic and hard-copy distribution of hypothetical chemical release data to the public is prohibited. However, this information may be viewed, but not photocopied, at a federal reading room, or by contacting your Local Emergency Planning Committee.
If you are interested in helping to protect your community, you are encouraged to get involved with your Local Emergency Planning Committee.

3 Responses to "2014 NFL Draft Positional Rankings"
Why are there only the top 5 players? It's August, the season begins in like a month, update your lists and provide some depth. Come on, get your act together fellas.
LMAO. Bill will trade down 6 times and find some real value from Rutgers.
Brady has got 2 more years with the window open for another title. Next years draft is filled with talent but I think that they need to trade up and get the top teir talent in this years draft. Some candidates that would significantly help this team would be Louis Nix as wilforks eventual replacement, Stephon Tuit as a penetrating DT as well as an end Of the line player in the 4-3. Marquise LEE is a no brainer as he's a sure fire #1 receiver the Pats have lacked since MOSS. Lastly would be CB's Robey from Ohio state and purofy from Florida. Both have the ability to be man to man cover corners and start day 1. Will BB have the balls to trade up to get one of these prospects like Atlanta did for Julio jones a few years back? Time will tell but I don't see how any of these players make it out of the top 20 picks and NE hopefully will not be picking till pick 32 god willing. (Definate areas of need next year: DT/DE, interior o-line, WR, CB and linebacker) We could possibly be losing ninkovich, talib, spikes, Love, Deadrick, dane fletcher next year.

Bailey said she got a tour of the Sriracha facility about three weeks ago, while chiles were being crushed. She said she wore a hair net but no mouth covering.
"I didn't have any adverse reaction while I was there," Bailey said. "No burning eyes, no throat constriction, and I've had that while cooking chiles at home."
Bailey said she was surprised the city filed suit, adding she and her husband are aficionados of Sriracha.
"My husband pretty much uses it like ketchup," Bailey said.
So far Huy Fong Foods' factory has passed muster with air quality regulators. The South Coast Air Quality Management District got 11 complaints about odors related to the Irwindale plant — all since Oct. 21, including four Saturday and one Tuesday.
But Sam Atwood, a district spokesman, said the complaints couldn't be confirmed after inspectors did "odor surveillance" of the area on two occasions.
"On both occasions, they could not detect any odor," he said.
Atwood said that odors can be fleeting, depending on factors like the weather, and that deep marine layers can trap odors and pollutants close to the ground. But so far the district has no reason to take any action against Huy Fong Foods, he said.
Kathy Galaz, 66, said the smell is relatively mild. Galaz makes a spicy brand of salsa that makes her sister sneeze and cough, but both are undisturbed by the smell from the factory, which is visible from their front door.
"We walk the dog, we mow the lawn. It doesn't bother us," she said.
Thomas Serrato, 64, of Baldwin Park said it just smells like someone cooking chorizo.
"I knew what it was. It smelled like chili and that's all there is to it," he said. "It didn't burn my eyes or anything."
For years, Huy Fong Foods was based in Rosemead until it started winding down as it completes moving its operations to Irwindale. Odor was never an issue, said Rosemead City Councilman Steven Ly.
"Honestly, until you walk [into the factory], you couldn't smell anything," he said.
Rosemead City Manager Jeff Allred said his staff could not recall a single complaint against the company.
The development deal that brought Huy Fung foods to Irwindale was controversial at the time. The city used $11 million in money intended for affordable housing to buy the 23-acre parcel on Azusa Canyon Road, across the street from a giant gravel pit.
Then officials changed course and decided the land was not suitable for housing. At the time, Irwindale stood to benefit from having commercial development instead of housing development. That's because redevelopment laws at the time allowed the city's redevelopment agency to collect a larger share of property tax revenues from commercial projects.
But redevelopment was abolished in 2011, and much more of those property taxes now flow to the state, schools and county.
Davidson, the city manager, said Irwindale does not want Huy Fong Foods to leave.
"Our only desire is for them to take corrective actions to alleviate the public nuisance," he said.
Across the street from the factory, Young Ja Whang, 68, runs the cash register at the Liquor Junior Market she owns with her husband. From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., she leaves the door open and allows the scent of freshly ground chiles to waft into her store. She finds the scent mild, even a little pleasant.
"I'm an old lady and I have no problem with it," Whang said. "Actually, we like it!"

Howdy Marlo Thomas? While no longer a fixture in front of the camera, 73 years old of Marlo Thomas has a change in her appearances. With her new appearances, Marlo Thomas active in the camera by guest-starring on a television show or popping up in movies. Besides that, Marlo Thomas had another activity as a spokesperson and humanitarian for St. Jude's Children's Hospital for cancer research. Marlo Thomas seems to want to follow the footsteps of her father, Danny Thomas.
With her lot of activity, 73 years old of Marlo Thomas still look fresh and perky as ever. It seems Marlo Thomas has had plastic surgery like facelift and brow lift, because she looks tighter and more pulled looking. Beside that her nose also look pinched, it is indicated that she also has had a nose job. To make the result of her plastic surgery better, Marlo Thomas likely also has had some fillers like Restylane and Juvederm. It seems Marlo Thomas also has Botox to remove aging signs.
Respond to Marlo Thomas plastic surgery rumor, Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, Calif., said that Marlo Thomas appears to have had a rhinoplasty, as her nose appears more pinched. She also appears to have had a brow lift, facial fillers, Botox, and possibly a facelift. In addition Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer also told that Marlo Thomas likely has had multiple cosmetic enhancement procedures for her face such as a Brow lift and Rhinoplasty. She may have possibly also had a moderate facelift.
It seems the impact of her plastic surgery is quite good and satisfying. It can support Marlo Thomas career as a movie star. Let us see her latest comeback after a plastic surgery procedure in the movie "In the Woods".

Direct Response Custom Site Using Builder Framework
Posted 19 July 2012 - 11:09 PM
I thought i'd post it here just to give other developers an idea of what you can do with Builder.
The 'Benefits and Pricing' page is really built as a landing page, using a custom layout and then multiple widget boxes. http://www.yourbuildingbroker.com.au/benefits-and-pricing/
What this does is allow the owner to track user engagement, then switch widgets around really quickly to ensure the best results. The CSS on this page took a long time to write, but it's worth it.
Would love to hear what you all think.

CARB SYNC - how not to do it. :D
Hello, again.
Nop. The spring is not coming this year.
At least not here. Its the second half of the March - and the temperatures are lower then they were in January. Everything is frozen and full of snow and ice and the things that the weatherman is saying - are just not the kinda stuff we want to hear...
I still got the bug in me - no way a sunny day can keep me away from thinking about riding a little. Had some stuff that still needed sorting out.
After the exhaust had been modified to 2-into-1 system, there would probably be some mismatch with the intake. Well - the fellow Carrot teamer lend me a hand and came to check out the carb sync. It is an easy procedure and should take one no more than 30 minutes (counting the removal of tank and some bits). I wanted to buy the proper carb balance tool - our motoshops only sell some dial versions and I wanted to have the mercury type. (used that before, that I got from a friend and was super). But money is tight and 130 EUR for that tool - not in the budget right now. So a Carb/throttle body sync tool was born.
and here is the little one
Not so little?
HEH - if 5m of 4mm diam duct was bought then for all that worth the balancer tool got. The oil is just clean 2-stroke oil. A little thick when cold in the garage but safe for the engine and all the parts. (Red ATF is also very good). In both ends of the duct there are pnp adapters for the balancing lines of the carbs on the motorcycle. (they were already prepared on the right side of the engine during the cleanup procedures.)
- What we needed to do?
= Remove the glove box in the middle - remove the right tank with upper fairing, connect lines and check for balance - if out of sync, then remove the air box cover and air filter and the regulating screw is a + type on the left side of the rear carb.
Whilst taking off the right tank - think of fuel spillage !!!
OK - so we did close that valve on the right tank but forgot that the fuel from the left one still flows. Hence - spillage, again
The fuel valve was closed and bike rolled out the garage to be started and warmed up.
The bike would crank but not start. I could hear the battery already getting weak - no charging done for quite some time.
A few more tries and nothing. So we took turns in pushing and trying to jumpstart it - nothing again. Dead as a duck after a good coocking.
So off comes the battery cover and out comes the battery and goes to charging for the night.
A sidenote - the stupid holder for the SW-motech bash plate is in the way - so 2 more bolts need to be removed, to get the battery out.
Bad batteries You say? well - this one is from 2004 and seems to be still working.
A quote from the old computer game comes to mind here:
"Thust You wish to leave with such a hasty abandon?"
Nop - but there is nothing to be done, but to wait for the battery charger to do its work.
Next day.
0800 am I´m up and running. Stuff gets sorted at home - I run my runs and get the battery from charger. Seems full - measure 12,6V from it.
I take my tools and run to the garage.
And there is spillage. Again.
The good damn right tank was supported against the wall but aparently the fuel valve did not close properly so almost most of the "good stuff" was now on the garage floor. And the SMELL. Mmmmmmm. Better not light a match in here.
When I sat down to the computer last night the epiphany moment was not far from me. Just looked at the fuel line set up from the manual for a second and remembered - WE TURNED THE FRIEKEN LEFT TANK FUEL OFF TOO
So in order to get things running again I plugged the right end of the fuel line with a tool, opened the valve on the remaining left tank and - -
wait for it
Plugged the thing properly and the bike started right up. After some running and heating up - I rose the revs to about 2000 rpm and this is what it looked like.
I hope You can see the difference - it was about 3-4 inches and slowly climbing. The rear carb was pulling more vac.
This type of carb sync tool is sensitive. But since the oil was thick from cold - the reaction is slow. Sync took about 3-5 minutes of testing and revving and letting it settle and more testing. I finally left it to about half an inch of difference - more accurate was just not possible. (compared to the small sync tools I bet it was about 1mm of difference between two carbs).
Bike ran fine - the popping disapeared and even in rev limiter, there would be no more flames coming out the back.
About 20 minutes of cooling and then putting everything back together.
oiled up some connections and even installed the bash plate and cleaned the beast a little.
So here is the monster - ready to race, or test or whatever.
You get teh idea.
The traveling stuff needs to wait for its time - until then I intend to get to know my bike a little better on the roads and off of them

There are two sides to search engine optimization (SEO): on-page and off-page optimization. Off-page means getting links from other websites to point back to your site, which strengthens your site's position in search engine results. In this course, author Peter Kent dissects the anatomy of a link, explains how links affect page ranking, and reveals the properties that make an excellent inbound link. The course also evaluates reciprocal linking; link building via press releases, blogs, and articles; and the importance of using quality links that are search-engine friendly.
Let's quickly look at how you can find out the PageRank of a particular page. Probably the easiest way is to install a toolbar into your browser that retrieves the page's PageRank from Google when you load the page. This one of course is the Google Toolbar which is only available for Internet Explorer. You can see that the PageRank button shows a green bar to visually indicate the page's PageRank. Point at the button and this pop up appears providing the PageRank number. Remember, as explained in the previous video, this is the public PageRank number which is not that true secret number.
When you first install the toolbar, you won't see this button. Go into the Options, select the Privacy tab and you'll find the PageRank button here. What if you don't use Internet Explorer? You can still find various add-ons and extensions that will you show PageRank. In fact, there are non-Google PageRank tools for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. This one is a product called WebRank running in Firefox. You can see the page's PageRank here along with lots of other data related to the page such as the Alexa Rank, the number of pages on the site indexed in Google, Bing and Yahoo!, and so on.
To find these tools, simply go to your browser's Add-ons or Extensions Library and search for the word PageRank. You don't have to install anything though, you can find sites that let you enter a page's URL and they retrieve the PageRank for you. Just Google the term view pagerank and you'll find them. What about PageRank for other search engines? PageRank is a Google term of course, but other major search engines must use a similar method, a way to use incoming links to help rank web pages.
Yahoo! had a system called WebRank, it even provided a toolbar with a WebRank display, but it may not have been quite the same. Yahoo! claimed it was based on what sites people visited. Of course, Yahoo! no longer maintains a search index. It gets search results from Bing. As for Bing, that search engine had something it calls Page Score, but it's a very different thing, it really isn't clear what it is in fact, and Bing seems to have pretty much dropped it. So for the moment, all we're left with is PageRank. Bing isn't providing any equivalent information.
But it really doesn't matter that much. In fact, PageRank isn't something you should be obsessing over anyway. What really counts is how your pages are ranking in the search results for the searches you're interested in. While PageRank is one factor, you can often rank above sites with higher PageRank. If you're not ranking well and your site is well optimized, then you need to create links with good keywords in them from lots of different sites pointing to your web pages. That will help you rank and it will build PageRank at the same time, but it's the ranking that counts.

In Premiere Pro CS5 Essential Training, author Chad Perkins shows not only how to edit video with Premiere Pro, but he also explains how to use video to tell compelling stories. This course covers the Premiere Pro workflow from a high level, providing a background on how projects go from start to finish before diving into basic clip adjustments, such as color correcting scenes for more dramatic impact, applying transitions effectively, and slowing down and speeding up clip playback. The course includes creative techniques, such as making titles and removing a green screen background from a shot. Exercise files are included with the course.
It's good to know that when you purchase Premiere, even if you just purchased Premiere by itself, you actually get a load of several other applications that are very helpful as well. One of those we have already talked about is Adobe Bridge, which is a great file browsing application, and as we have talked about, it's a great file importer as well. As you see a click that you like, just double-click it. If you have launched Bridge from Premiere, all you have to do is double-click it and you will import files. To launch Bridge from Premiere, just go to File and then Browse in Bridge.
Another very interesting application that comes with Premiere is Adobe OnLocation. This is a Capture program. So if you hook up your camera to your computer, let's say you have a laptop in the field, you can actually record directly to disk from OnLocation, It's almost like capturing footage with tape, except instead of capturing to tape, you are recording directly to the computer. So you don't have to worry about expensive media and that type of thing for your camera. Here in OnLocation, you can also create a Shot List, and you could create a Shot Placeholder, and you could make your Shot List here.
Then as you shoot in the field, you could link up what you have shot with these empty placeholders to make sure you don't miss anything. It's here in OnLocation that you could also add metadata to the clips that you have recorded, so as you bring them into Premiere from OnLocation, that you can automatically search for certain lines of dialog, and that type of thing. There is a few Camera Calibration tools, such as the Waveform and the Vector Scope here, which allow you to look at what your camera is looking at, not through the Viewfinder, but through a really intelligent analysis of what's going on there.
So you can make the necessary changes. There is, of course one, of my favorite applications. That's Adobe Encore. Adobe Encore is a very high-end DVD and Blu-ray authoring application. It actually creates Flash video websites, which are pretty cool, too, from the same project. So I love Encore. I do a lot of the Encore training on lynda.com. So feel free to check out that application. It's very easy to use. If you have used Premiere, and you feel even slightly comfortable with Premiere, Encore will be a breeze. And before you know it, you will be making very complex DVD projects with the drop of a button.
It comes with this huge library, with several sets of different types of Projects: already-made DVD, menus, and buttons, and shapes, and all kinds of cool things. So Premiere isn't just Premiere, Premiere is this huge suite of applications, even if you just buy Premiere by itself, without Production Premium or the Adobe Master Collection. Now, one other application I want to tell you about that's not really an application technically, it's called Adobe Story. If you are in the video world, Video Story might be a real benefit to you.
It's a new developing technology. It's free. It's online. You can find it here at labs.adobe.com/technologies/story. Basically, it's made for screenwriters. It's made for the preproduction phase of creating a video. The intelligence behind this is that you will create your script in Adobe Story. Then you will take your Adobe Story text, the script that you have created in Adobe Story, you will be able to take that into OnLocation. Then when you are in OnLocation, you could link up the clips with the script from Adobe Story.
Then that script that you have written, the dialog, that will stay attached to those clips throughout the editing process, and you could reference that throughout OnLocation, throughout Premiere, throughout Encore, throughout After Effects. So Adobe is really trying to create a very kind of futuristic workflow, where everything is connected, and if you want to find character or a prop or anything, you can just do a Search, and all that data will be in the clips. It will be embedded in the metadata of the clips, and that starts here in Adobe Story. So while that does not necessarily come with Premiere, everybody has access to Adobe Story.
And as for right now, it's free. I have seen this work, and it's pretty intelligent. It goes through your script, and it can actually recognize different characters by the formatting, based on screenplay formatting, recognizes characters, locations, and that type of thing. It can organize the stuff and get you ready to create a Shot List, and that type of stuff. So it's a really great little application, especially with that free price tag. So anyways, just a little brief introduction here to the other applications that come with Premiere.

Storms aren't the Bay's only surprise
In the summer of '66, I was 13 years old and halfway through my first summer camp at Severn Sailing Association in Eastport, where I was learning to sail, getting my first full taste of what it was like out there on the waters of the Chesapeake.
Marion Keenly Carr: 1920-2013
Marion Keenly Carr, my mother, died on July 30, 2013.
She lived a classy life. And she died a classy death.
She was a link to the old America, but she was surprisingly aware, even hip.
The rewarding culmination of a long environmental quest
A light went on for environmental guru Dick Lahn, of Crofton, back in 1967, at a League of Conservation Voters lecture.
"I was working as a mathematician for NASA, and suddenly I knew that protecting our environment was what I really wanted to do."
The Ah-ha! moment has shaped Lahn's life into a String of Pearls that unites Baywide land preservation, art and a treasure hunt.
A winter's wind blows water from the Bay, revealing relics from the past
On a cold winter day, with a stiff northwest wind blowing the Chesapeake Bay south toward the Atlantic, 11-year-old twins Cole and Wyatt Greene stumbled on a strange sight as they explored the exposed mudflats of Herring Bay. Buried in the mud appeared to be the remains of an old ship. A really big ship.
Farr Yacht Design's Patrick Shaughnessy on creating the boats that sail round the world
Sailing legend Bruce Farr's career began long ago and far away in his hometown of Auckland, New Zealand. By the 1970s, Farr — then in his 20s — had established a reputation for designing fast, cheap boats that were easier to build and sail than most of the competition. His designs won one-quarter, one-half, three-quarter and one-ton world championships.
After almost a year at sea and nearly 40,000 miles, the Volvo Race is a true endurance test
The 39,270-mile Volvo Ocean Race is the greatest test of human endurance in the guise of sport on the planet earth. It's life at the extreme with its own curiosities.
Starting the nine-month race in Spain is always fun. The Spanish know how to throw a good party, and the royalty-crowned pomp and circumstance befits such an epic voyage.
Leg 8 of the Volvo Ocean Race
When we last reported on The Volvo Ocean Race, 12 days of intense racing across the Atlantic from Miami had ended in one of Volvo's closest finishes. Despite reaching Lisbon second by six minutes, Groupama gained the overall lead.

Based on 272 Ratings for the 1999 - 2006 models.Review this car
By AndyMA on Saturday, August 01, 2009
overall rating 10 of 10rating details
"2001 VW Golf 2.0 GLS 5-speed 89,500 miles I have shared this vehicle with my wife for the past 5 years and have virtually no complaints. Have I had to replace parts? Of course. Were some of them a tad pricey? Sure. Have some of the Bosche sensors dies prematurely? Yup. This car is not without it's quirks and if you're looking for a maintenance-free vehicle that will cost you almost nothing to keep on the road, then buy Japanese. It's simple. However, if you enjoy the act of driving: coming into corners a little hot, a feeling of being connected to the road through both the steering and drivetrain and enjoy a massive amount of utility all at 30+ mpg than this is the car to buy. There's nothing else on the market that offers this level of fun, economy and utilty even for twice the money. Find yourself an independent mechanic whom you trust and fix issues when they arise. Become his best friend and he'll save you money on parts. If properly maintained, this car should provide you with many, many years of reliable, fun and utilitarian-packed enjoyment. Issues I've found: - MAF (mass air flow meter) will not last. Since the cars are manufactured in Brazil, these parts are more money and NOT interchangeable with the Jetta or Beetle engines. - ABS wheel-speed sensor/brake wire sensor - Window regulators (can buy on eBay or form your local pick-n'-pull - Catalytic converter may rust from the outside in. Keep clean in winter... road salt will kill this vehicle. - Shocks will go around 60-80k (especially rear if you haul stuff a lot...which you should since you bought a Golf) - Lights will blow out... brakelight, headlights, blinkers. All are easy to replace. Do an internet search and you'll be surprised how easy it is. - I advise against using a reusable air filter like K&N. VW finally admitted that using them is bad... the oil on the cotton filter will foul the MAF ($220 actual cost) - These engines (2.0L only) eat oil. Top off at 1,500 miles and get regular oil changes at 3,000. The car will run rough and let you know when it needs an oil change. Pay attention to the vehicle, keep it well-maintained and it will be a wonderful car. After a few years, you'll begin to think about which VW model you'll want next. I personally own a 1999 BMW 328i convertible and get as much enjoyment out of the Golf as I do out of the Bahn-stomper BMW."

Pros: "Safe, never broke down, mpg, affordable maint."
Cons: "I got emotionally attached."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Hands down, I absolutely love this car. That's saying a lot, being that I am a car buff. I bought it used from a certified VW dealer in 2008 with 27k miles. It NEVER broke down. The only thing I needed the warranty for was to replace a wheel barring (~$1k job). The oil is easy to change yourself, as is all other routine maintenance (also affordable at an honest garage). I was in love. It was as fun to drive as a loaded rally car, but not crazy enough to be targeted by police. 4 doors = a must. When the back seats are put down, there's tons of cargo space. Oh, and great speakers. The dash displays are nice too (blue and red color scheme). If you are worried about driving a small car because of safety, I hear you. However, I commuted 60 miles (hwy) in this car a day and it kept me safe. No blind spots, too. Last month, I got rear ended at a stop light by a big Toyota pickup going 50mph. The kid was texting or something. My Golf was pushed into the Volvo in front of me... and it was totaled. I was well enough to get myself out of the car, but did go to the hospital. If i was in a Civic hatchback, it would have been another story. I miss this car terribly and am grateful it kept me safe (perhaps even saved my life). Those Germans know how to design a good frame and crumple zones..."

"Bought this car in 2003 was 2 years old had 35k miles. 225,000 miles now no major problems other than regular maintenance, front axle broke because of a road hazard.first timing belt change at 190k miles and it still looked like new also replaced the water pump w/the timing belt but it wasnt leaking yet.I did have to replace the front struts but that was after 180k miles, the front wheel bearings went twice so far, and the front doors power windows kept breaking but VW fixed them for free everytime even after the warranty expired because they had a recall on them. Besides that nothing else still original clutch and no signs of going soon, the engine runs quiet and very smooth, chck engine light came on on humid or rainy days because the ignition wires needed replacing. Great car if maintained properly and not abused. I think I'll be good for at least another 100 to 150 K miles.a couple of annoying small problems besides the power windows regulator is the head lights frequent burning, they wont last more than 6 months."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 42,000overall rating 7 of 10rating details
Pros: "fun to drive, handles nice"
Cons: "suspension too soft, quality of the interior"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 5
"The car is fun to drive and handles well. The GL model has a softly sprung suspension and it does not do well over roads with pot holes. The gas mileage is good, I seldom have to fill it up. I had to replace the cooling fan and coolant sensor as well as the front strut mounts and left front wheel bearing. Other than that, I've had no other problems. The cooling fan seems to be a common problem based on other reviews that I've read. The beige interior is hard to keep clean and the fabric is pulling away from the front door panels and the head liner is starting to pull away in the front. The estimate for a new headliner and to re upholster the door panels is $300. The battery fails without warning consistently every 4 years as I am on the third battery."

Pros: "Great drive and reliable"
Cons: "Stupid front cup-holder; best MPH only 28 HWY"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I have owned this car for 8 years after buying it as a certified used vehicle. Aside from normal wear, and a recent replacement of the catalytic converter (covered by warranty!!), the car has never failed me. Clutch still works great, never turned a break rotor, no electrical issues, ... just absolutely reliable! This car, with a short wheelbase, 5-speed manual and moon roof is a blast to drive on windy country roads. It hauls a lot when the seats are down, and I have been known to carry four bikes on top and two on the hatch. It looks great with a 17.5 ft kayak on top, too. This is the fourth Rabbit or Golf that I have owned in 20 yrs, and it really is the best."
