Blistered Thumbs
JonTron is the creative mind behind JonTron Show and Normalboots.com. Jon is a fan of gamer shows. After being around the Internet a bit, he noticed that a number of his favorite shows updated very infrequently and left him desiring more. Because of this spark, he decided to JonTron as an answer to webshow lovers who find themselves scrolling through videos, trying to find something great! Shortly after creating his own show, he teamed up with PeanutButterGamer, and they decided to make a video gamer show haven where there would be shows people would want to watch.
On July 12th, 2012, JonTron started a gaming channel named Game Grumps, in which he plays video games, old and new, with internet sensation Arin Hanson, aka Egoraptor. On June 25th, 2013, he left Game Grumps to focus on JonTron Show and was replaced by Danny of Ninja Sex Party.
In 2014 he rejoined Normal Boots during its relaunch.

Sharon Dolan of Maple Street Natives and husband Brent have seen interest in native plants grow since the Landscaping with Florida Natives Home Tour started four years ago.
- Filed Under
Vicki Williams first discovered the joys of native plants when she got hooked on Animal Planet's "Backyard Habitat," a television show that encouraged homeowners to plant native flora to entice the local fauna.
"I replanted my yard with native grasses, stoppers, berries and wild coffees, "says Williams, who now owns a yard certified as a wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation as well as by the University of Florida.
"I get hundreds of goldfinches, robins, warblers and many more," she says. "Although Publix is around the corner, my yard is a peaceful retreat." ...

Students in Action
Barbara Del Castello
"Eckerd is beautifully exhilarating and well loved."
Major: Biology
Tell us a little about yourself. What makes you a unique Eckerd student?
Well, I'm kind of all over the place when it comes to what I do on campus. I might be a Biology Major, but that definitely isn't my only passion. I'm president of "Hat's Off!" the musical theatre club on campus, I was in last year's spring play "Dark Play, or Stories For Boys" and I'm a member of the Choir. I also work as a Graphic Designer with ECOS Public Relations. It keeps me busy, but I love every minute of it.
Why did you decide to attend EC?
I actually stumbled upon the page while on a search for schools that allowed non-theatre majors to audition for their plays. But, it was so much more than that when I found it. Almost like love at first site! Small, gorgeous campus, with the nicest people you will ever meet, from the Professors to the Staff to the Students, and new expansions in my major. The new building will seriously be my new home when it opens.
How has Eckerd changed your life?
Eckerd has opened my eyes to a lot of new cultures and ideas. Which, I know, is weird for a Science major to say, but it shouldn't be! I love that I can take all of my needed courses and take a playwriting course also. The world is so much bigger than just one major. Why limit yourself? I've learned here to dream big.
How would you describe the academic environment at Eckerd?
Rigorous, but exciting. I never get bored during class, it just never happens. The professors are enthusiastic about what they do, and they always try to related the work to current events, or real world applications. And if you don't understand something, they're always willing to meet with you and help.
How do you describe the social scene at Eckerd?
Never boring! There's always something going on somewhere. Whether it be Karaoke at The Pub or a slip-n-slide in front of the cafeteria.
What are some of your favorite things at Eckerd?
South Beach, "Hat's Off!" Club, a turkey melt with Swiss with a key lime parfait from the pub, the ECOS Public Relations staff, The Spring Fling Dance, the constant sunshine followed by intense thunderstorms, and all of the people.
What's the first thing you should do when you get on campus?
Join clubs! Go to school events! Try and meet as many people as possible! Do something silly! Host a movie night in your room with your house-mates! If you really put yourself out there, you won't regret it. I promise.

Usable with SNPedia and Promethease:
- 23andMe $199 + shipping (DHL air-mail outside USA) one time payment, lifetime membership. Uses a customized Illumina chip which covers 24776 of the 75887 SNPs in SNPedia.
- Ancestry.com uses Illumina OmniExpress Plus, reporting all SNP's on chip for $99. Most users will receive data for between 12,800 - 13,300 of the SNPs in SNPedia (as of Oct. 2015). This is currently available in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
- FamilyTreeDNA Family Finder uses an Illumina OmniExpress for autosomal ancestry testing for $99, including partial raw data download. It covers 12,732 of the SNPs in SNPedia.
(See also links listed on Ancestry page for genetic genealogical testing.)
Not usable:
- Pathway Genomics offers various kits for Ancestry and Health, but seems not to release raw data and so isn't of much use with Promethease.
- ancestrybydna.com $199+ but the raw data is very limited, and unlikely to be of much use with SNPedia.
- Color Genomics $249 to get BRCA1 and some other genes sequenced, however, the company does not release any data back to the customer and does not provide a list of which variants are being checked.
Usable full sequencing:
- Complete Genomics offers full human genome sequencing for $5k as a service for researchers.
- Knome offers direct full genome sequencing for $95,000
- The Personal Genome Project aims to recruit 100,000 volunteers and publish their genomes and medical information
- Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative is free, but returns information on only 46 snps which meet IRB approval

NEJM sets realistic expectations. Also note that current Affymetrix and Illumina microarray chips as used by 23andMe, deCODEme and others cover less than 50% of all likely genome variation at even 50% efficacy.[PMID 17726055]
Reminder: the heritability of medical conditions varies widely, from conditions that show little inherited genetic influence to those that are almost completely genetically determined (such as cystic fibrosis). A list summarizing some published heritability estimates for various medical conditions is available. We are also summarizing some average lifetime risks for many of these same conditions on the Lifetime Risk page.
Note: Anyone who wishes genetic counseling may find a counselor directly through several means, completely independent of the gene testing companies. In the U.S., the primary sources include the National Society of Genetic Counselors, asking your doctor, and checking with your healthcare insurer. If you are a qualified physician or genetic counselor interested in helping individuals interpret their genomic test results, please email us at email@example.com as we intend to release a list of such individuals in the future.
At SNPedia, we have begun to collect pages about people's testing experiences. A particularly thoughtful article (among others) has been published by psychologist Steven Pinker (My Genome, My Self) based on his pondering his own DNA chip and (partial) DNA sequence data; it's well worth reading.
In the US, some people are wary of having genetic tests performed due to concerns over the possible use of genetic information by potential employers or insurance (health or life) companies in the absence of federal legislation banning genetic discrimination. Federal legislation known as GINA, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, was signed into law on May 21, 2008. Most states, but not all, have passed legislation providing either genetic privacy protection or some degree of protection against discrimination. The NIH/NHGRI maintains webpages about genetic discrimination primarily the federal level, and the National Conference of State Legislatures maintains a webportal surveying laws related to many aspects of genetics in different states.
For an interesting discussion (and possible solution) of the ways in which SNP/disease patents may threaten you or your physician from learning things about your health, see this article.

|In vivo distribution of particulate matter from coated angioplasty balloon catheters.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23375949 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Most catheter-based vascular medical devices today have hydrophilic lubricious coatings. This study was designed to perform a territory-based downstream analysis of end organs subsequent to angioplasty with coated balloon catheters to better understand the potential in vivo physiological consequence of coating wear materials. Coronary angioplasty was performed on swine using balloon catheters modified with two polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-based coatings of similar lubricity, but different levels of particulates (5-fold) when tested in a tortuous path model. Myocardial tissues examined 28 days post-angioplasty revealed no visible particulates in the animals treated with the lower particulate catheters while 3 of 40 sections from higher particulate catheters contained amorphous foreign material, and 1 of 40 sections from tissue treated with uncoated catheters had amorphous foreign material. Non-target organs and downstream muscle revealed no particulates for any of the treatments. Histological analysis showed that the overall number of vessels with embolic foreign material was low and evidence of myocyte necrosis was rare with either of the coatings investigated in this study.

Who's A Friend?
The short answer is YOU! The Friends group is made up of people just like you who patronize the Maury County Library and want to make it a better place. More specifically, the Friends of Maury County Library is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to support the Maury County Library through volunteer work and fundraising activities to assist with the many and varied programs that encourage literacy and community outreach.
Wow! That's a mouthful! But, simply put, the Friends believe that libraries should be the center of a community. We also think our library is pretty special now, but as our community continues to grow and change, so too should our community services - and that's where we come in! Friends are fundraisers, volunteer helpers, hospitality providers and promoters!
So, What Does That Mean?
Fundraise - Friends raise money for the library in a variety of different ways - bake sales, selling special items in conjunction with programs or special events, and collecting direct donations from individuals and community partners.
Lend a Helping Hand - Friends come to library events and help the staff. Friends coordinate and create the monthly book display in the front of the library, and help out when needed at regular and special events and programs.
Provide Hospitality - Friends bring in snacks and beverages for program attendees and, of course, honor our wonderful library staff with special gifts of culinary love!
Promote, Promote, Promote - Friends are the greatest asset any library can have when it comes to spreading the good word about all the library's fantastic programs and services. We try to connect with other groups, community partners, the City and County as well as send out press releases. Friends also help plan and organize supplementary events. We even make videos! Check it out!
Our Mission
To make our library the hub of our community by helping it to promote
literacy, research, education, the arts and community outreach!
Literacy - The adult book club, the YA book club, the Summer Reading Program and the daily children's storytime.
Research - Free access to digital resources and Internet along with significant reference and non-fiction sections.
Education - Free access to the Tennessee Electronic Library (TEL) and Universal Class websites, as well as special programs for kids and adults.
Arts - Promotion of creative writing, which fosters awareness of the arts by developing workshops and bringing in special guests.
Outreach - Job seekers can get free help at the library. The children's library has partnered with the local Boys & Girls Club. Free access to print resources and digital resources through free wi-fi access and library computers.

So you really have no idea how to file that 1040?
Sure, its more tempting now to do-it-yourself when it comes to tax returns. Many people just want to save $300, $400 or more on tax preparation.
About 37.3% of taxpayers plan to file their own taxes using software, 20% will use an accountant, nearly 19% will use a tax preparation service and 14% will prepare their tax return by hand, according to a National Retail Federation Tax Returns Survey conducted by BIGinsight.
The Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants has a brochure on what to look for when hiring a preparer, including some warning signs on what could be a scam.
During the tax season, the Free Press will once again hold a series of tax-help Web chats during the lunch hour to address specific questions relating to tax returns.
Join me with two tax experts this Thursday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
It is possible to file questions early and return back to the Free Press web site later to find the answers. We will post questions and answers during the chat hour. Our guests Thursday are Luis D. Garcia and George W. Smith IV.
Born and raised in Detroit, Garcia began his career in public service as a U.S. Marine and after college joined the U.S. Treasury Departments Savings Bonds Division. He continued to work in various capacities throughout the Treasury department in both Michigan and Washington D.C., including Area Director, Congressional Liaison and his current position as Spokesperson for the Internal Revenue Service.
Smith IV is a certified public accountant and partner at George W. Smith & Co. in Southfield. Smith has more than 29 years of experience serving a wide array of business, individual and specialized clients. George is an expert in small business financial reporting and federal, state and local income tax return preparation. He is a graduate of Michigan State University.
On March 21, we will hold a tax Web chat again from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. My guests then will be Joseph DeGennaro, tax director for Doeren Mayhew in Troy, and Leslie Welbourn, individual tax manager for Doeren Mayhew.
DeGennaro is a shareholder and practice leader of the Tax Group at Doeren Mayhew. He joined the firm in 1976 and has worked with a wide a variety of clients with their individual and business tax needs. His clients include owners of manufacturing, construction and real estate companies.
On March 28, we will hold another tax Web chat from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. with the assistance of members of the Michigan Association of CPAs. My guests then will be Michelle Gallagher, of Gallagher & Associates CPAs in Lansing, and Raymond Rowe, a CPA and attorney in Troy.

مع إنك ما بتمثل كتير بس إنت مميز بالنسبة إلي وبحب تمثيلك وبحبك
Just discovered Magadheera quite by accident and MY GOD What a movie it is. I have watched it at least 50 times over the last 15 days. Went on to watch every other Charan movie. Loved Racha, Nayak was superb, Orange was beautiful and I'm dying to see Yevadu. I also saw Zanjeer and I can't understand why critics are talking about Charan's performance so badly. Wooden expressions is a phrase I came across so many times. Did they watch that scene where Teja threatens Vijay in the hospital? Or the one when Vijay finds out that the reporter has been murdered? Or the shift in Vijay's mood when he realizes the Teja is the one who murdered his parents? It was subtle, understated perfection. Bollywood is so used to over- the- top emoting that toned down actign doesnt go over well, I guess. From where I stand, I wudnt want Charan to change one bit. Except maybe to explore comedy more. I love his comic timing and I think he'd be brilliant at a full out humorous movie like Panchtantram.
awesome cherry...waiting for zanjeer...
keep rocking charan,all the best for Yevadu.
all the best for both movies...cherry...:)
Charan sad to hear that zanjeer has got stay order for six weeks.

The justices issued two 5-4 rulings in their final session of the term. One decision wiped away part of a federal anti-gay marriage law that has kept legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits. The other was a technical legal ruling that said nothing at all about same-sex marriage, but left in place a trial court's declaration that California's Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.

Wave® Work Assist Vehicle
Consider the time it takes an individual to transport, put away or retrieve multiple loads of product using manual tools like ladders and handcarts. It's easy to see how the Wave Work Assist Vehicle can virtually cut that time and your labor costs in half. The Wave also eliminates the risk associated with climbing ladders and improves load handling ergonomics to reduce back and other torso injuries. The Wave product replaces rolling ladders and warehouse ladders in many applications.

The 1933 Ford is one of the most handsome models ever built by the company. It expanded on the 1932 model by smoothing and streamlining styling cues. The beautiful grille, tapered hood, and gracefully flowing fenders made the 1933/1934 Ford a poor man's version of the coach-built luxury cars of the era. The look ties in with the art deco era. The nation was still struggling with the Great Depression, but the restyled Fords were something to cheer about.
The sleek styling of the 1933/1934 models (there are slight differences, mostly to the grille and hood, with the 1933s having a little more curve than the straighter 1934 components) became even slicker when the roofs were chopped. This cut-down profile of the 3-window and 5-window coupes (especially the 3-windows) became popular with dry lakes racers. That severely chopped look has continued to be popular with street rodders.
Another movie car, this time used in the made-for-TV movie The California Kid, starring Martin Sheen, boosted the popularity of 3-window coupes. The black movie car with massive flames was also featured on the cover of Rod & Custom. Its builder, Pete Chapouris, was an early mail order street rod parts entrepreneur and continues to innovate with his So-Cal Speed Shops.
The great popularity of 1933/1934 Ford roadsters has led to them being reproduced in fiberglass (including stretched "phantom" versions) and, more recently, in metal. Like the 1932 Fords, the 1933/1934 models are popular as coupes and roadsters, as full-fendered cars and highboys, and as 3-window and 5-window coupes.

HarperImpulse is an exciting new range of romance fiction brought to you from the women's fiction team at HarperCollins. Our aim is to break new talent from debut authors and import the hottest trends from the US, bringing you the very best in romance. Whether that is through short reads for your mobile phone or epic sagas that span the generations we want to proudly publish romance fiction that gets everybody talking.
To speak to the team about submissions, partnership opportunities or press enquiries, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Meet the team
Kimberley Young is publishing director of Women's Fiction at HarperCollins. Kim has over ten years of experience in editing commercial women's fiction. She has a soft spot for rom coms and is currently obsessed with new adult and short reads. Kim simply can't pick her one favourite romance hero of all time, as there are too many good ones to choose from. Instead she has a new flavour each and every month. So, today her pick is Deacon Claybourne from the new series Nashville. Why? He's brooding, plays the guitar and only loves one woman…
Katie Sadler is the digital marketing manager at HarperFiction and is deeply attached to her Smartphone/laptop/iPad/wherever she can get on to the Internet. She loves reading anything and everything, particularly crime and fantasy when there's a really good hero. Her favourite ever romantic hero is Westley from the Princess Bride, but only when he stops being the sappy farm boy and turns into the Dread Pirate Roberts. She's on the other end of @HarperImpulse, so send her a tweet and say hello!
Richard Parfitt started in publishing in 2000, and after a brief side step into the world of television, now works at HarperCollins in Technology and gets himself involved in all sorts of projects and plans across the business. His absolute favourite project is HarperImpulse and since getting involved has found himself rabidly reading all manner of romance fiction!
A geek at heart, his natural preference is for SF and fantasy themed romance, so is looking forward to reading any submissions about cross dressing sex bots in space.
Charlotte Ledger began working in publishing in 2011 and has always been a book lover but, since watching her first episode of Dawson's Creek when she was 13, she's found it impossible to resist a good love story! Pacey Witter stole her heart and her life it seems as her addiction for all things romance eventually led to her working at Mills & Boon. Thrilled to be at Harper Impulse, she can't wait to fall in love with your submissions and find the next exciting new voices in Romance. So what are you waiting for? The inbox is open! You can follow Charlotte on twitter @girl_on_a_ledge.
Editorial Assistant Emily Labram joined HarperCollins in 2012. After studying Mills & Boon at university (really!), she developed a bit of an addiction – so leapt at the chance to be involved in Harper Impulse. She loves steamy romance with an interesting setting and a dash of humour – and strong, relatable heroines. Whatever the genre, whatever the length, she'll be delighted to read whatever comes her way!
Alexandra Allden is the designer for Harper Impulse as well working within the Harper Fiction team since 2012. She aims to create covers that show the true essence of the authors' stories and get them out to the public as soon as possible. It's quick, fun and she loves being able to bring their characters to life. She's always had a soft spot for a good romance especially the darker side. The anti-hero gets her every time, so Heathcliff, Jay Gatsby… Damon Salvatore – All of the above!

1. Re: Custom Resource User Reportuser243865 Nov 8, 2012 6:47 AM (in response to gentjan)I would export the current reports taskdefinition and taskinstance then use the BPE to rename them and start from there
2. Re: Custom Resource User Reportgentjan Nov 8, 2012 9:16 AM (in response to user243865)Hi and thanks for the reply,
I already export and edit that task (Debug page/List Objects / TasDefinition and inside I export UI_TASKS_XML_RESOURCE_USER_REPORT). I figured out that this task is called from com.waveset.report.IndividualUserReport, so I think I have to work on this class/package (find out the jar, decompile the class, edit and compile, and then put it in the jar again). Do you think that this is the right way?
3. Re: Custom Resource User Reportuser243865 Nov 8, 2012 9:28 AM (in response to gentjan)I guess that depends...
I haven't checked that specific report, but if it's just a matter of removing and rearranging items, you could probably do it in by fixing the xml only...
I will need to export and check that specific report to be sure though.
I'll check the file and see...
4. Re: Custom Resource User Reportgentjan Dec 13, 2012 6:04 AM (in response to user243865)Yeah well, I think I need to write my own Task Class 'InvididualUserReport' (which I called 'CustomInvididualUserReport' and that extends BaseReportTask ) where I have to query the waveset database for some values of some resource's attributes (just some specific attributes. Not all the attributes as the IndividualUserReport actually do).
Can any of you help me on this?

In the event that at the conclusion of the process the customer remains dissatisfied, he/she will have the right to take the grievance to TrustDale.
- I will allow TrustDale and an independent expert in the field to review the customer's complaint. If upon conclusion of review, the independent expert and Dale agree that the customer's position is justified, I agree to abide by the recommendation of TrustDale to Make It Right.
- Make It Right means the vendor will repair/replace the product as recommended by TrustDale, or will pay for the product to be repaired or replaced, or will reimburse the customer for the cost of the repair/product at a price up to, but not to exceed, the original price paid by the customer.

Oh my goodness. Today I discovered my deposal leaking under my cabinet. I looked on your site and found Superior Plumbing and called. They were able to send Marty Grimes out to me within the hour. He explained to me what the charges would be then went to work to work replacing my unit. Mr. Grimes was so polite, efficient, careful doing his work and then explained to me how to use the Allen wrench when needed. He also advised me to seriously review the paperwork concerning what goes into the unit. Then also to run water and turn on the unit before placing foods to grind. So helpful. I appreciated the clean truck and the uniform worn by Mr. Grimes. All felt very professional and it turned out to be just that for sure. Thank you Dale you took all the worry away for me.

It always seems that if your going to have plumbing problems they either occur at night or on a weekend, our problem did both. Friday night at 11 PM we had no water coming out of any of our hot water taps. I immediately went to the Trust Dale website and saw that Superior Plumbing was recommended.
I gave them a call at 11 PM and a live person answered the phone. They had a plumber out around noon time on Saturday. The gentleman who showed up was very courteous and professional. After reviewing our situation, he told us what he suspected might be the problem and after trouble shooting the situation it turned out to be exactly what he suspected. He gave us a very reasonable estimate for parts and labor and we proceeded to have him fix the problem.
Having all the parts he needed on the truck he went right to work and had our hot water back up and running within 4 hours.
Thank you Dale and thank you Superior Plumbing for coming through as promised.
~ Rick McConnell
We woke up on Christmas morning 2013 with no water and instantly knew something was wrong when I saw our front yard looked like a river. Definitely not the way to celebrate Christmas morning. I remembered Superior Plumbing's advertisements on TV and their Trust Dale certification, so I called them. A very nice lady promptly answered the phone and took my information, but she said they unfortunately didn't have anyone working on Christmas Day, so she put me down for the first appointment the following day. As promised, master plumber David Dixon showed up as scheduled at 8:30 the following morning, assessed the problem and gave me a binding quote. David worked diligently for the next hour and a half digging down to the problem then proceeded to lie on his stomach over a hole about three feet deep to fix the problem. The hole was then filled in, sod replaced perfectly and it looked like nothing ever happened. Thank you Superior Plumbing and David Dixon...you saved our holiday.

When I first got my horse 4 months ago, he was really underweight. I've been feeding him lots of high fat high fiber food, as recommended by the vet and even added some oil that the vet had suggested to it. He also gets a lot of hay.. He doesn't seem to be gaining much weight! He has his winter coat yet I can still see his ribs. Is 4 months not long enough?
The day I went to see him, August 20th.
Almost a month after I got him, Sept. 24th
Oct. 16th
Nov. 20th
I don't know, he still seems a little on the thin side to me.. I would show you some of the pictures I took of him today but his coat is a bit too dark to see

Michael Bray
Leader, Better Business Reporting Group
+61 3 9288 5720
Businesses that make the transition towards improved communication with the capital markets now stand to reap significant benefits both now and in the future.
The journey
The journey to better business reporting is continuing. It begins by improving and consolidating what is already reported. This includes improvements to financial information, sustainability reports and management commentary.
The next step in the journey aims to overcome the limitations of today's reporting model by incorporating forward-looking, strategic key performance indicators and using management commentary as an opportunity to bring this together.
The endgame
The outcome for better business reporting is the development of a flagship business report that fully integrates critical business performance information, traditional financial reporting, management commentary and sustainability reporting to allow external analysts, investors and others to make informed judgements about the entity's prospects.
The formation of the International Integrated Reporting Committee (IIRC) is one of the most significant developments in business reporting in recent years. The IIRC released the International Integrated Reporting <IR> Framework in December 2013.
The benefits
The benefits of better business reporting include:
How we can help
KPMG's Better Business Reporting Group is at the forefront of business reporting developments worldwide. We work closely with the Business Reporting Leaders Forum in Australia and the IIRC on driving change in the format and process of business reporting.

|Sun-Believable Solar Paint. A Transformative One-Step Approach for Designing Nanocrystalline Solar Cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22147684 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|A transformative approach is required to meet the demand of economically viable solar cell technology. By making use of recent advances in semiconductor nanocrystal research, we have now developed a one coat-solar paint for designing quantum dot solar cells. A binder free paste consisting of CdS, CdSe and TiO2 semiconductor nanoparticles was prepared and applied to conducting glass surface and annealed at 473 K. The photoconversion behavior of these semiconductor film electrodes was evaluated in a photoelectrochemical cell consisting of graphene-Cu2S counter electrode and sulfide/polysulfide redox couple. Open-circuit voltage as high as 600 mV and short circuit current of 3.1 mA/cm2 were obtained with CdS/TiO2-CdSe/TiO2 electrodes. A power conversion efficiency exceeding 1% has been obtained for solar cells constructed using the simple conventional paint brush approach under ambient conditions. Whereas further improvements are necessary to develop strategies for large area, all solid state devices, this initial effort to prepare solar paint offers the advantages of simple design and economically viable next generation solar cells.

"Merwin won't do it anymore," my sister Alejandrina told me last week. "If he eats a 26x26 again, Merwin thinks he'll die."
Earlier this year, 20-year-old Anaheim resident Merwin Barrientos ate a 26x26 at In-N-Out Burger: 26 hamburger patties glued together with 26 slices of American cheese. I didn't believe Alejandrina until she produced pictures and videotape of a curly-haired man-child grimacing as he chewed on something that looked like an orange log.
I told Alejandrina to ask Merwin if he could do it again for Weeklyreaders—but Barrientos refused, and not for the health reasons my sister cited. "I already ate it—I don't need to prove anything anymore," he said in a tone that mountaineers must use after scaling Everest. "It's like the Casa García burrito—I don't need to eat that anymore, either."
(The Casa García burrito is a five-pound mass of tortilla, rice and beans that the same-named Anaheim restaurant offers for free to anyone who can eat it in one sitting. Barrientos finished it while a senior at Anaheim High School.)
Barrientos got the idea for eating the 26x26 after watching an Internet video of a man finishing a 20x20 at In-N-Out, the Southern California hamburger institution legendary for preparing virtually any hamburger on the spot. A friend challenged him to match the anonymous man, and Barrientos agreed. After working the late shift at the Anaheim Convention Center and eating a light lunch, Barrientos and six other friends visited the Fullerton In-N-Out at midnight.
"We got there thinking I was going to eat a 20x20, and my friends would pay for it," Barrientos said. After ordering the 20x20, Barrientos asked the cashier what the location's record was. Years ago, the cashier responded, a man ate a 25x25.
Barrientos didn't blink. "I'll take a drink and a 26x26," he said. The cashier didn't blink. He told the cook to change Barrientos' order. "That's disgusting," the cook responded as he began stacking patties in columns of four.
Seven minutes later, the cashier handed Barrientos a 26x26 on a cardboard tray and wished him luck. Barrientos thinks it weighed about three pounds.
Barrientos first placed five patties into hamburger buns and ate it as he would a regular 5x5. Then he stacked four patties together sans buns. Then three. "I like to pace myself," he says. "You only have a certain amount of time until your stomach tells your brain it's full. That's why lot of people eat fast, but then they don't have any stamina. Me, I pace myself so I have no feeling of fullness."
His friends hooted and hollered and snapped shots until Barrientos told them to stop: they were distracting him. "When I'm eating, I'm in the zone," Barrientos says. "I don't feel full or hungry, I don't feel anything."
Admonished, his friends ate their own dinners. This was around patty No. 10. At patty No. 15, the friends finished their burgers and stared at Barrientos in silence. By patty twenty, Barrientos began smothering the patties in ketchup to mask their flavor, which now tasted like "gooey blood."
Asked why he didn't stop, Barrientos scoffed. "Everyone was there! I couldn't just stop it then!"
Around patty No. 21, the In-N-Out manager approached Barrientos and told him it was closing time. Barrientos' friends pleaded that he allow Barrientos to remain until the 26x26 was gone, but the manager refused. The friends then asked if Barrientos could at least receive a gift certificate or hat for his feat; the manager offered free fries.
Around 2 in the morning, at one of the outside tables, Barrientos finally finished. He posed with the box that once held the 26x26. More pictures. Barrientos then visited a friend's house, where he quickly fell asleep. He awoke the next day, feeling "a little bit heavier" but otherwise fine.
Barrientos hasn't told his parents about the 26x26 because they would "freak out." But other than experiencing a rapid heartbeat for two weeks afterward and "passing more crap than usual," Barrientos didn't notice any major physical changes. "I've always been able to eat a lot," admitted the burly Barrientos. "It's just one of the things I'm good at. It's my only natural talent."
Nevertheless, he doesn't plan on joining the competitive-eating circuit: he's just a Cal Poly Pomona computer science major who really, really likes to eat. "I'm sure I'll try something else soon," he says. "I hear there's a 96-ounce steak in Texas . . . "

Ten Years of Experience Training Non-Physician Anesthesia
Providers in Haiti
Peter Rosseel Æ Miguel Trelles Æ Seydouba Guilavogui Æ
Nathan Ford Æ Kathryn Chu
Published online: 6 August 2009
Ó Socie
Internationale de Chirurgie 2009
Abstract Surgery is increasingly recognized as an effec-
tive means of treating a proportion of the global burden of
disease, especially in resource-limited countries. Often non-
physicians, such as nurses, provide the majority of anesthe-
sia; however, their training and formal supervision is often of
low priority or even non-existent. To increase the number of
safe anesthesia providers in Haiti, Me
decins Sans Frontie
has trained nurse anesthetists (NAs) for over 10 years. This
article describes the challenges, outcomes, and future
directions of this training program. From 1998 to 2008, 24
students graduated. Nineteen (79%) continue to work as NAs
in Haiti and 5 (21%) have emigrated. In 2008, NAs were
critical in providing anesthesia during a post-hurricane
emergency where they performed 330 procedures. Mortality
was 0.3% and not associated with lack of anesthesiologist
supervision. The completion rate of this training program
was high and the majority of graduates continue to work as
nurse anesthetists in Haiti. Successful training requires a
setting with a sufficient volume and diversity of operations,
appropriate anesthesia equipment, a structured and com-
prehensive training program, and recognition of the training
program by the national ministry of health and relevant
professional bodies. Preliminary outcomes support findings
elsewhere that NAs can be a safe and effective alternative
where anesthesiologists are scarce. Training non-physician
anesthetists is a feasible and important way to scale up
surgical services resource limited settings.
The poor availability of surgical services in developing
countries is a long-neglected problem that has recently
gained attention [1]. Violence, injury, and obstetric emer-
gencies have long ranked as leading causes of mortality
and morbidity, and many deaths can be avoided through
surgical intervention.
The need for trained anesthesia providers is critical if
surgery is to be a safe and cost-effective public health
intervention. Extremely high avoidable anesthesia-related
mortality rates have been reported in a number of resource-
limited settings, from one in 504 deaths in a central hospital
in Malawi to one in 133 in a teaching hospital in Togo [2, 3].
A recent inquiry into maternal deaths in South Africa iden-
tified anesthesia as one of the top four causes of avoidable
deaths [4]. It is estimated that safe obstetric anesthesia can
prevent 5% of deaths during cesarean section [5].
However, the availability of health workers in resource-
limited countries able to deliver safe surgical services
remains extremely limited, and this applies acutely in the
case of specialist physicians such as anesthesiologists.
Some African countries have as few as one anesthesiologist
per million residents [6–8]. Task shifting is one approach to
overcoming the lack of specialists in resource-limited set-
tings, including surgeons and anesthesiologists [9]. In the
absence of specialists, non-physician anesthetists (NPA)
have been mobilized to perform anesthesia in many
resource-limited settings [10, 11].
Non-physician anesthetists
The delivery of anesthesia care by non-physician anesthe-
tists (NPA) is not unique to resource-poor settings. In

Fort Campbell'a Jonathan Jethroe throws against Hart County during the first round of the Kentucky Class 3A playoff game at Fryer Stadium last year. This season, the Falcons face South Warren Friday night in the second round of the playoffs.
- Filed Under
Fort Campbell's postseason appearances are rarely in doubt. The Falcons have reached the Kentucky state playoffs every year for 12 straight seasons and this year, despite its 4-6 regular season record, was no exception.
The Falcons played host to Edmondson County last week in the first round of the Class AAA playoffs and drilled the Wildcats 48-7 behind the play of running back Triston Luke and Jonathan Jethroe. Luke ran for 158 yards and Jethroe caught a pair of touchdown passes from Jaylen Williams.
Like always, the Falcons are a threat. ...

The Wise Investor
5.7 Other investments
John and Kate sat in the park, as they usually did
on a Sunday afternoon, and watched the huge green
trees sway in the wind. The wind was icy cold, and
they both held warm coats around themselves as
shelter from the wind.
After they had rested, relaxed and soaked in the
peaceful feeling of the park, John returned to the
subject of finance once again.
"We have covered the three major sectors now,
Kate, and I have also made some comments on the
benefits and pitfalls of managed investments. There
are a few other issues that we should cover before
we move on to the next major topic for discussion.
First, I wish to talk about an investment product
that works in the opposite way to most investments.
These products go under various names, such as
'annuities' and 'allocated pensions', but they all have
the same basic nature. Imagine that you have a
large sum of money, and you wish to live from the
income that the money generates when invested.
Most people in this position are elderly people
who are entering retirement.
You can give this money to an institution, usually
an insurance company, and they will invest it for you
and pay you a regular income, derived from the
profits on the investments and part of the original
When we spoke earlier, Kate, I recommended
against having someone else manage your
investments, whether it be an individual or an
institution, as I believe that the fees and restrictions
outweigh the benefits.
Annuities, however, are an extremely useful

Mike Golding, on board Gamesa, discusses his progress in the Vendee Globe and his outlook on what is to come:
Mike Golding on board Gamesa - 2012 Vendee Globe
'I'm feeling good. I think we are in a good place, Jean [Le Cam] is in a better place. Overall we are going to make a close on the lead group and that is the most important thing at this stage. The exact amount is difficult to predict. Armel [Le Cléac'h, current race leader] is going better than I would have forecast, but none the less, he did well on the last poll, Alex [Thomson] is keeping going which is good, but again, we seem to make little gains on each poll and that is how we lost the miles and that is how we get them back.
'I think everyone was expecting this front to come in harder than it has, certainly I was. And we are pretty close to being down south, it is cooling off, the shorts are off, we are in foulies on deck and it is time to get wet. But still it is a beautifully sunny day, blue skies, very fast sailing, we aren't quite there yet [the Southern Ocean], but not far away.'
Luc Talbourdet (President IMOCA): You are not about to enter the south and it is like your garden as you are so experienced in the south. I think it is like a new start, you have caught up with the fleet and will continue to over the next few days. Do you agree?
'I think so. Once you are in the south, I will hook up with the weather system and move with them. The good news here is that not only have we made a catch up, but we are operating in the same weather system, which is really important. It is a good opportunity, but I think also a time to take care because if I remember the last race well, it was at this time that everyone pushed hard and there were a lot of breakages.'
Thursday 29 November 2012 06:00 GMT:
For the past 24 hours, Mike Golding and Gamesa have swapped positions with their French rival, Jean Le Cam (SynerCiel), and on this morning's 0400 GMT classement is lying in seventh, 22 miles behind Jean and 342 miles to the current leader of the Vendée Globe, Armel Le Cléach'h (Banque Populaire), who is 750km East of Golding.
Speaking this morning to his shore team back in the UK he commented, 'I'm just waiting for a bit more wind which should be coming but it's a bit frustrating because it has not come through as expected just yet. I have just 10 knots of wind at the moment. I changed down from the Code Zero to the Genoa and if it is going to stay like this I need to think about changing back up, but at the moment I'd lose as much in the change, so I'm just hanging on to see if it happens.
'The breeze is due to come round and the direction is as forecast but it just does not have the strength. We have been catching the leader as expected, not quite as quickly as I'd have liked, and Armel does seem to have got away with a bit more than it looked like he had but they [Banque Populaire and Hugo Boss] will be headed and slower for longer. We have a net gain I'm sure, not as big as we'd hoped, but it's all good.'
Golding is expected to speak live on Vendée Globe TV at 1200 GMT today. Watch on the Vendee Globe website.

Hidden devices were found in a building at Ford Motor Co. headquarters. An employee was fired and the investigation continues. / Bill Pugliano/Getty Images
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has taken a computer disk and internal Ford e-mails in a continuing investigation of a former employee fired in June after the company found recording devices she had hidden in a building on its Dearborn campus.
Ford fired Sharon Leach, 43, a mechanical staff engineer who worked at Ford for 16 years, in late June after company security personnel saw her leave and return to the same conference room on multiple occasions. When they asked her about the behavior, Leach told security officials she was recording conference meetings using hidden devices.
Ford said a search of its world headquarters in Dearborn found no evidence of listening devices.
According to court records, the FBI seized eight listening devices from Ford headquarters on July 11, and more than two dozen items from Leachs Wyandotte home weeks earlier, including bank statements, tax records, a buy.com shipping bag, a Post-It note with numbers and a key chain with keys labeled do not duplicate.
Leachs attorney Marshall Tauber told the Free Press last month the case isnt about trade secrets or espionage, but rather involves an employee who needed help transcribing meetings and taking notes, so she sneaked in listening devices for help.
Ford gave the FBI the most recent emails and disks after receiving an email request from the agency.
"We continue to work with the FBI on this investigation that we initiated and requested assistance on from the FBI." said Ford spokeswoman Susan Krusel. " We have sent additional information requested by the agency."
Leach hasn't been charged with a crime.

Senators Leno and Steinberg introduce California Homeowner Protection Act
Bill aims to prevent wrongful foreclosures
Oakland, Calif.—California State Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) and Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) vowed at the end of last year's legislative session that they would not give up on trying to prevent wrongful foreclosures of California homeowners. Their 2010 bill, which would have put an end to banks' pursuing foreclosures while simultaneously considering loan modifications, passed the Senate but failed in the Assembly.
This year's California Homeowner Protection Act (SB 729) retains the same major goal as last year's SB 1275: avoiding wrongful foreclosures by making sure that borrowers are given a decision on a loan modification before the foreclosure process begins.
"Banks should not foreclose on a family's home until they inform the owner whether the loan can be modified to an affordable level," said Sen. Leno. "California homeowners who qualify for modifications should get them – not a foreclosure notice."
Banks and servicers commonly pursue a "dual-track" approach, which means that they are going through the modification and foreclosure processes at the same time. The signature problem with this practice is that once the foreclosure process starts, it is nearly impossible to stop—regardless of whether a borrower ultimately qualifies for a loan modification—and many homeowners wrongfully lose their homes as a result.
SB 729 would:
- Give Borrowers a Clear Yes or No Before Starting Foreclosure Process: If a borrower applies for a loan modification in a timely fashion, the servicer must evaluate the application—and provide the borrower with a yes or no decision—before beginning foreclosure proceedings.
- Require Proof of Ownership: Servicers must establish ownership of the note and the right to foreclose when they record notices of default.
- Require Life of Loan Accounting: Requires the servicer to send to the borrower at the time it sends the notice of default a life of loan accounting, including an accounting of all payments with application and running balances, an itemization and description of all fees charged and the like.
- Provide a Limited Legal Recourse: To ensure compliance, the bill provides a limited legal recourse to borrowers. This will provide a deterrent to servicers who are not playing by the rules and provide a modest measure of recourse to families who lose their homes due to servicer misconduct. This provision includes limitations to prevent "gotcha" litigation.
"When people hit hard times but can still manage to make their mortgage payments with the help of a loan modification, they deserve that opportunity," said Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg. "SB 729 requires lenders to give hard-working homeowners a fair evaluation on a modification before foreclosing on a home. Helping families stay in their homes is best for them and best for California's economy."
Last year, 305,000 California borrowers received notices of default and more than 170,000 families actually lost their homes to foreclosure. Due to the large numbers of Californians falling behind on their payments and lacking any equity, CRL expects to see near-record levels of foreclosures for at least the foreseeable future without strong and common-sense legislative action.
"It was a major disappointment when last year's bill failed to pass the Assembly," said Paul Leonard, director of the California office of the Center for Responsible Lending, which is a sponsor of this year's bill, along with California Labor Federation and California Reinvestment Coalition. "Perhaps all the recent news of robo-signing, bank errors and wrongful foreclosures will mean another chance at getting real protections for California homeowners."

Drowners Drop Second Single From Debut Album
The second single from the forthcoming Drowners debut has finally arrived. The track entitled "A Button On Your Blouse" has been described as a fun and flirty track and continues to strengthen the appeal of the group. Fronted by Welsh born NYC local Matt Hitt, the band has been his project for some time and has allowed him to follow another creative outlet (other than modelling). Following the successful release of the first single "Luv, Don't Hold Me Down" there has been growing anticipation around a Drowners debut which we now know will be out on January 28th through Frenchkiss via Pod/Inertia.

A sketch of a new building at the FDA's headquarters in White Oak, Md. (COURTESY DAVID WHITCOMB / RTKL.COM)
The National Capital Planning Commission on Thursday approved updated master plans for the Food and Drug Administration's new consolidated headquarters in the Maryland neighborhood of White Oak and the National Institute of Standards and Technology's expanded campus in Gaithersburg, Md. The commission's approval means more detailed design work on the projects can proceed.
The revised FDA master plan increases the number of employees to be located on the 130-acre site to 8,900, up from the 5,000 envisioned when work began in 1996. The NIST plan details new buildings, additions to existing buildings and infrastructure upgrades for the 581-acre campus.
The commission ordered eight changes to the Veterans Affairs Department's draft master plan for the VA Medical Center campus in Northwest Washington. The plan provides a framework for the next 20 years of development on the 35-acre site, including plans to nearly double the size of the existing 900,000-square-foot facility.
The commission directed the VA to ensure the redevelopment complements other neighborhood development, provides access to pedestrians and adheres to parking guidelines, among other things. Developers will incorporate the changes into a preliminary master plan that will go before the commission next year.
