Everything's bigger in Texas—unless, of course, you're talking about Austin, the small city that turns everything you think about this state on its head. Here, creative thinking rules, and from an innovative, zero-waste grocery store to a standout ice cream shop that doesn't use artificial flavors, stabilizers or high-fructose corn syrup, Austin proves bigger isn't always better.
Antonelli's Cheese Shop
A few days into their honeymoon, John Antonelli told his wife, Kendall, that he wanted to quit his job and do something in cheese. Instead of urging him otherwise, Kendall became interested too, and thus began their mutual love affair for all things cultured and dairy. Eventually they opened Austin's small and beautifully curated Antonelli's Cheese Shop, which features cases of artisan cheeses along with salumi, preserves, beer, wine, and chocolates. At any given time, about 25 percent of the products at Antonelli's are locally sourced.
The shop has relationships with several Texas dairies, including Blue Heron Farm, Brazos Valley Cheese, CKC Farms, Pure Luck Farm & Dairy, and Sand Creek Farm. The shelves are also stocked with jams and preserves from Austin's Confituras, chocolates from local Kakawa and The Chocolate Maker's Studio, and beer from nearby Jester King Craft Brewery, Argus Cidery, and South Austin Brewing Company. Any customer entering the shop can expect a cheesemonger to guide them through choosing and tasting a number of cheeses, which are cut fresh to order and can be purchased in any quantity. The Antonellis believe that every cheesemaker has a great story to share; they just need help sharing it. Across the street, the shop offers cheese classes and private tastings throughout the year. They also have a healthy wholesale operation, providing cheese plates to many of Austin's finest restaurants.
Foreign & Domestic Bake Sale
On some Saturdays, a line of anxious customers snakes along the sidewalk and into the parking lot of Foreign & Domestic Food & Drink for the restaurant's Bake Sale. Co-owner and pastry chef Jodi Elliott, who creates the restaurant's desserts and bread items, started the Bake Sale as a creative outlet. Her buttery croissants, giant cinnamon rolls, turnovers, bread puddings, coffee cakes, and even the restaurant's famous black pepper and gruyere popovers are all popular. Pastries are filled with fruits and vegetables from local farms, and coffee from nearby Casa Brasil is available as well. Customers wait patiently in line for each sale, and the pastries are often sold out within an hour. Jodi and co-owner and chef, Ned Elliott, believe strongly in supporting their community and are proud to donate 20 percent of each Bake Sale's proceeds to organizations with which they have a strong association. For the months of September through December of 2012, Foreign & Domestic is donating to Planned Parenthood of the Texas Capital Region. Customers come out on top: They are supporting an independent, local business, giving to an important cause, and receiving some of the city's best pastries.
Houndstooth Coffee
As Austin's coffee culture grows and deepens, coffee shops around the city are stepping up to meet the demands of discerning customers. One shop that has led the way in creating a desire for and understanding of quality coffee is Houndstooth. A clean, modern shop with a beautiful La Marzocco Mistral espresso machine—one of only 78 in the world—Houndstooth is the gold standard for excellent coffee beans, expert baristas, and great customer service. The shop has strong relationships with stellar roasters, including the local Cuvee Coffee, Counter Culture Coffee, Madcap Coffee Company, and Handsome Coffee Roasters, all of which use direct-trade, sustainable beans. The beans can be bought retail in the shop or in the form of excellent espresso, pour-over, syphon, and French press drinks. Also available are pastries and snacks from nearby purveyors, locally brewed beers, both bottled and on tap, and teas from Austin's The Steeping Room. Baristas are trained to help customers choose the best coffee for their tastes, and are happy to answer any coffee-related questions. In addition, the shop hosts public cuppings on Mondays and Thursdays, where customers can learn how to taste, explore, and appreciate coffee.
Just a few months ago, east Austin became home to something new and exciting: a zero-waste, package-free grocery store. in.gredients encourages customers to bring their own containers for purchases and offers bulk foods, local produce, dairy, meats, beer, and locally-made prepared foods. The small shop also has just a few aisles of bulk dry goods, including nuts, beans, cereals and grains, as well as cooking oils, cleaning products, and nut butters. The cold cases hold meats from local ranchers, milk from nearby Mill-King, Vital Farms eggs, fresh, seasonal produce from various local farms, and even locally made frozen baby food from Austin's The Baby Kitchen. Near the register, a display case is filled with prepared foods from nearby Eastside Pies, local cheeses, and desserts from Cake & Spoon. A rotating selection of Austin-brewed beers are available on tap, and breads from Easy Tiger are beautifully displayed.
While the shop has reusable, biodegradable containers and jars available for those who haven't brought their own, customers are encouraged to bring in a container, tare its weight on the shop's scales, and reuse it at the shop over and over. The proprietors also work with local vendors who are willing to eliminate packaging on the wholesale side, and provide products with whole, pure ingredients. By doing this in.gredients is paving the way for other vendors and producers to rethink their packaging and business practices, one container at a time.
Lick Honest Ice Creams
In a small corner space on South Lamar, Lick Ice Creams scoops up some of Austin's most original ice cream flavors, available from a menu that changes daily. No artificial flavors, stabilizers, or high-fructose corn syrup are used, and the shop sources as much as possible from local farmers and producers, including Round Rock Honey, Pure Luck Farm & Dairy, HausBar Farms, and Springdale Farm. Flavors change with the seasons, making each visit a new experience, and customers can enjoy their ice cream while feeling good about supporting local farms and purveyors. All their ice cream starts with either milk from nearby Mill-king Market and Creamery or a vegan coconut milk base. Components are churned in, and the flavors are always bright and fresh. Customers can choose from about 15 to 18 flavors a day, including vegan Brown Sugar, Cinnamon and Squash, Mexican Marigold and Blueberry Swirl, Sweet Persimmon and Sage, and Honeyed Peaches with Rosemary. Scoops are served in cups or house-baked waffle cones, and pints are available as well.
Noble Pig Sandwiches
John Bates and Brandon Martinez opened Noble Pig Sandwiches in September 2010, and in the past two years, they have gained nationwide acclaim for their crafted approach. Breakfast biscuits come smothered in country sausage and black pepper gravy, and breakfast sandwiches are stuffed with spicy ham, scrambled locally sourced eggs, and cheese. Lunch sandwiches feature smoked duck pastrami, rye pickles, Italian sausage, smoked bacon, jalapeño-cabbage slaw, and deviled eggs. Seared beef tongue is paired with smoked green onions, while the grilled cheese is made with three cheeses and pressed cauliflower. Noble Pig makes many of its ingredients, including bread, condiments, and even pastrami, in-house. While breakfast and lunch draw plenty of customers, those in the know also pick up the shop's deli ingredients to go. Loaves of fresh white and wheat bread are baked daily, and house-smoked duck pastrami, chorizo, and sweet Italian sausage are available by the pound. Duck pâté, spiced pork rilletes, linguiça, and other charcuterie items fill the display case, as well as treats such as malted chocolate bread pudding and caramel-bacon popcorn.
Pasta & Co.
Since 1983, Pasta & Co. has been making fresh pasta for Austin customers and restaurants in a tiny orange house in central Austin. The shop is small, with just a few cases of fresh pastas, sauces, and frozen pasta entrees, and the staff is ready to help customers choose the perfect ingredients for that night's dinner. The pasta case is filled with specialties like black pepper fettuccine, ricotta cavatelli, carrot conchiglie, and ravioli stuffed with combinations such as roasted Brussels sprouts and aged Gruyere or butternut squash with amaretti and sage. Most popular are the whole-wheat, spinach, and black-pepper pastas. And many of these creations are served in some of Austin's best restaurants, from Eastside Cafe to Justine's. A good portion of the shop's sales are from the freezer case, which is stacked with trays of ready-to-bake entrees like lasagna Bolognese, cheese cannelloni, mushroom and eggplant manicotti, and chicken and artichoke baked penne. These dishes have become the go-to option for customers looking for housewarming and post-pregnancy gifts, since they're easy to heat and always crowd-pleasers.
Quality Seafood Market
Part seafood shop, part restaurant, Quality Seafood Market brings the best fish, shellfish, and specialty seafood to the Austin. The shop will celebrate its 75th anniversary in January 2013, making it one of Austin's oldest businesses. Its cases are filled with every type of seafood imaginable, from whole fish to breaded shrimp, from Gulf oysters to smoked trout; and a good portion of its seafood is sourced from the Texas coast on the Gulf of Mexico, including oysters, catfish, flounder, shrimp, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, black drum, striped bass, and redfish. Quail from nearby Lockhart is stuffed with Texas Gulf shrimp, and boudin is made in east Texas. Shelves are stocked with local sauces from Stubbs, Winston's, and Austin Slow Burn, and the market accepts the Go Local card, which offers five percent off shop purchases to encourage customers to buy local when possible.
Each week Quality Seafood Market also sends out a newsletter highlighting the week's specials and detailing Gulf Coast news, from recent storms to the opening of oyster season. In addition, owner Carol Huntsberger is proud that the shop can help with fundraisers for Candlelight Ranch, where at-risk and special needs children can learn and play in a supportive outdoor environment.
Sweetish Hill Bakery
An Austin institution since 1975, this corner bakery on charming West Sixth Street serves a full breakfast and lunch menu, in addition to a wide range of pastries and breads. In the bright and airy bakery, with its windows overlooking Sixth Street, the display case is filled with classic croissants, eclairs, muffins, and strudels, as well as empanadas, pies, tarts, cupcakes, and cookies. The lemon bars and cream cheese brownies are popular choices, as well as the decadent chocolate croissant. Whole cakes and pies are available to order, and a display of yeasted loaf breads, focaccia, challah, ciabatta, and baguettes tempts. The bakery strives to use quality ingredients in its recipes, and everything is made from scratch. When available, local ingredients are used in the pastries and sandwiches, including peaches, lettuces, farm eggs, and natural chicken. Sweetish Hill also proudly serves local Anderson's and Texas Coffee Traders coffee. Those who are unable to visit the bakery downtown can find their favorite breads and pastries at several local markets, including Wheatsville Co-Op, Fresh Plus, and Whole Foods.
Zhi Tea
In a city with a thriving beverage culture—from craft cocktails and boutique coffee to locally brewed ales—a tea shop is a perfect fit. Zhi Tea was opened five years ago, and has since become the tea of choice for local restaurants, shops, and tea enthusiasts. The shop is serene and inviting, with a few tables and comfortable couches where customers can enjoy a pot of tea and locally sourced snacks. The back wall is lined with cans and bags of tea available for purchase, and just through another door is the company's small blending and packaging area, where the tea is made ready for purchase at local restaurants and shops. Staff members are eager to dole out samples of any tea, and to discuss steeping options, flavor components, and tea history. Owner Jeffrey Lorien has applied a unique set of values to his purchases and practices—he is proud to focus on organic practices, quality ingredients, and creativity in flavors. All teas are sourced from organic, fair-trade farms and are imported in their unadulterated state. They are sold in their pure form as well as blended with herbs, flowers, and other teas to create unique flavors like Cherry Sencha, Coconut Chai, and the popular Sweet Desert Delight, a blend of rooibos, coconut, cacao, anise, cinnamon, safflowers, and stevia leaf. The shop does its part in spreading the word about the benefits of sustainably sourced tea as well as the pleasure of tasting new flavors from around the world.

Obama Signs Budget Stopgap
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama signed into law on Saturday a stopgap budget bill that will continue funding the federal government for a week while Congress moves forward with a longer-term deal to keep the government running through the remaining months of the fiscal year.

The bill includes $2 billion in spending cuts from current levels, a down payment on $38 billion in spending reductions agreed to late Friday night as part of a wider budget agreement to fund the federal government through Sept. 30.
That compromise was agreed to about 10:30pm Friday night, less than two hours before a looming deadline that would have forced a shutdown of most nonessential services provided by the federal government.
The stopgap measure was approved by a voice vote in the Senate shortly before midnight, but wasn't actually voted on in the House until after midnight, when technically the existing funding arrangement had expired.
House Republican aides said the fact the vote didn't occur until after midnight didn't matter. The White House sent out a notice telling government operations to operate as usual pending Mr. Obama's signature on Saturday.
Congress now has until Thursday at midnight to approve the longer-term deal. While there is expected to be some opposition in both the House and Senate, the fact that the deal has the backing of leaders of both parties as well as the president should mean that it passes relatively easy. Leadership aides said that congressional staff were spending the weekend writing the bill that would incorporate the outlines of the compromise agreed to on Friday night.

Anna Papadopoulos | March 28, 2007 | Comments
Is there a role for behavioral targeting in the midst of the online video revolution? Second of a series.
Last month, industry experts shared behavioral targeting and video experiences. All agreed on the following points:
We continue the Q&A about the roles various partners will play in the future of video behavioral targeting and new opportunities that will become available to advertisers.
What role does your company play in the maturation and development of behavioral targeting and video?
Troy Young, CMO of VideoEgg: We're starting with the big challenge first: figuring out the right way to bring together advertisers and online video content in a way that doesn't compromise user experience. Existing notions of how to interrupt the consumer don't translate real well to the way video is consumed today. Thirty-second pre-roll in front of a one to two minute video clip discourages user consumption and creates a negative halo for the brand. The Eggnetwork's in-video ad units invite the users into the advertiser's video, creating a much better environment for the brand message. We're also making our ads relevant by leveraging data from user profiles. We'll add behavioral overlays to our targeting solution in the next 12 months.
Bill Gossman, CEO, Revenue Science: Revenue Science's targeting platform makes testing and experimentation with this ad format very, very simple. We are supporting publishers and ad networks in Europe, North America, and Japan as they experiment with and mature the use of the video ad format. Further, some very video-centric publishers like AOL have adopted our platform and are in an excellent position to make massive advances for the industry in this area.
Mark Josephson, president of Seevast: Pulse 360 was the first company to offer behavioral targeting for sponsored links, and we just launched sponsored link advertising available for online videos. Publishers understand that just like on their non-video content, branded display advertising and text sponsored links can coexist to everyone's benefit.
Joe Kyriakoza, product development VP at Jump Start Automotive Media: We view video with a great level of importance, as it becomes one of the prevailing mechanisms by which people obtain information online. We are taking steps to make pre-roll video a principal offering as part of our behavioral targeting opportunities. We currently are able to provide it on a small level, as well as in-banner video. But over the next three to six months, it will be rolling out in a much bigger way. We're in the process of working out the technical details, while also solidifying the appropriate partnerships to make this possible.
Why do you (or don't you) believe behavioral targeting and video are a good fit?
TY: Behavioral targeting makes as much sense for video as it does for banners or any other ad vehicle. How it's leveraged across the sales funnel will be different. Brand advertising moves naturally to online video. Advertisers will want to push the brand messages early in the sales cycle to drive consideration. Behavioral video targeting will support tactics like this.
BG: Video and behavioral targeting are a hand-in-glove fit. First, video creative is expensive relative to other formats. Because of this, we need to be able to quickly test performance and make changes to campaigns as necessary. Second, aggregation is a key to the expansion of this format. Our platform enables publishers and marketers to build large audiences of like-minded people, and reach them virtually anywhere on the Internet. That level of volume will help make the economics of video work for advertisers and publishers.
MJ: Behavioral targeting and video are a great fit for two reasons. First, any way advertisers can refine targeting or find more customers is a good thing. Second, marketers are beginning to embrace the explosion of user-generated content, and they recognize the value of this audience. Behavior targeting in video will help refine this audience for marketers and bring the value to the surface.
JK: We've viewed performance as the prevailing facet of BT [behavioral targeting] utilization as a targeting strategy, and with better, richer creative comes enhanced performance. Video provides a greater opportunity for the precision targeting of BT to truly realize its value. Ultimately, the performance will speak for itself.
How do behavioral targeting and video work from your perspective? Is this different from display advertising?
MJ: Behavior targeting in video works much the same way as it does in display ads but is a great way to open up lots more inventory. Behavioral information is one more data point to improve the targeting of ads so that consumers see more relevant ads, and advertisers get better results. The big issue right now around behavioral targeting in video is the same issue we've been seeing for the past two years surrounding behavioral targeting in general: lack of inventory. That said, behavioral targeting in video holds tremendous promise as inventory and usage grows.
BG: The most important aspect of effective advertising, regardless of format, is relevance to the consumer. Behavioral targeting ensures that. The big difference I see is that the economics of video requires both high relevance and large reach. Our targeting platform provides both, and we're very excited to see our partners around the world making huge progress in video.
JK: When a user demonstrates a specific automotive behavior, their cookie is pooled into our data warehouse and segmented based on the behavior. We're able to recognize that user at a later date while they are viewing video content on lifestyle sites and serve them a relevant auto ad. It essentially works the same as targeting these users via display ads; the difference is it's in a richer environment.

Wrapping up its most watched season in seven years, The CW Network presented its 2015-16 broadcast schedule today to advertisers, affiliates and national media at New York City Center in New York City. The indie-pop band Of Monsters and Men kicked off the presentation with a live performance of their latest single "Crystals," and their international hit song "Little Talks." Here's what CW's Mark Pedowitz had to say in a statement.
"This has been a terrific season for The CW, and is a result of a strategy we set in motion a few years ago to broaden out and grow our audience. We had our most watched season, and our highest-rated season among men, in seven years. We launched The CW's most watched series ever with The Flash, and with The Flash and Jane the Virgin, we received more critical acclaim than ever before. The CW is heading into »

Gary Cole, who currently stars on "Veep" as Selina Meyer's senior strategist Kent Davidson, is -- for those who've been keeping track -- one of the most eclectic and slyly kooky performers alive. The 58-year-old actor netted his first major nomination last year (an Emmy nod for guest-acting on "Veep"), but his career has been a long, ascending spiral of dead-eyed caricatures and commanding dramatic roles. His august screen presence suggests a comfort playing white-collar blowhards, but that's the magic of Gary Cole: He's absolutely comfortable playing anything. That's pretty astounding when you realize he's played everything. Interviews with Cole, including ours from 2014's PaleyFest below, reveal that he's not a Crispin Glover type who's as unnerving (and nervous-making) as many of his signature roles. In fact, he kind of seems like a milder version of Kent. Perhaps it's his education at Illinois State University alongside fellow thespian veterans »

The initial Entrants' List and Wait List are now posted, as of 5:00 PM July 6, 2015. Both lists should be viewed as tentative because a large portion of each list has yet to confirm either acceptance on an Invitation to Run, or confirm that the runner wishes to remain on the Wait List. The deadline for doing both is August 1, 2015. As new information becomes available, these lists will be updated.
The 2015 Race 'Window of Opportunity' Is Now Closed
The tentative dates for the 2015 edition of the Ancient Oaks 100-Mile Endurance Run are Saturday and Sunday, December 19-20, 2015.

Final Results Are Now Posted
Final results are now posted for the 2014 race. There were 33 finishers out of 66 starters for a 50% finish rate, about the same as in previous years. The weather was excellent for running – warm and sunny during the day, cool and damp at night, with no rain at all.
Sung Ho Choi won the race for the third time with a finishing time of 18:17:47. Sara Maltby finished second in a new women's course-record time of 18:52:00, eclipsing Monica Sholtz' 19:19 from 2005.

No more runners will be allowed to enter. Race Update Number 1 and Number 2 have also been posted – just click on the 'Race Updates' link shown above for further information.
2014 Race Is Now Closed!
The 2014 Race is completely full, with 70 runners on the Entry List, and a Wait List that stands at 74 runners as of July 30, 2014. Please do NOT contact the Race Director with Requests to run in the 2014 race – no more such Requests will be accepted. Requests for the 2015 race will begin being accepted on June 1,2015. Thank you ALL for your interest in the race!
Final Results Are Now Posted!
Final results for the 2013 race are now posted – simply click on the '2013 Race Results' link shown above, and then click on the name of the results you wish to view. In addition to the 'summary' Final Results, there is a loop-by-loop split breakdown for every runner's time on each of the 29 3.46-mile loops of the course. The women put in a strong performance, as more women than men finished (18/27) than men (15/40) and with a higher finish percentage. Everyone but Andrew Barrett got chicked ;-). It was a gorgeous weekend to run in the Enchanted Forest Nature Sanctuary!
Race Update Number 3 is Now Posted!
The third Race Update is now posted – just click on the 'Race Updates' link shown above to view it. There's also a PDF file of the Update available for easy saving and/or printing. Less than three days until race start! The first and second Race Updates are also posted there as well.
The Indian River State College research project has been cancelled due to illness.
And Then There Were None…
The 2013 Wait List has been completely processed – every runner who asked to remain on the List has now received an Invitation to Run! Entries are now officially closed for 2013! No more Requests to Run will be accepted – the race is presently slightly 'oversubscribed' so the only changes to the Entrants' List will be to remove those who drop out between now and race day! There's always 2014 ;-)!
Wait List Updated as of 12/05/2013
And then there were just 6…
The Wait List is moving again, as Entrants drop out and as Wait Listers drop to move on to run other races. At this rate, everyone who stays on the Wait List may well make it into the race itself ;-)! The original 66-runner Wait List has been pared down to just 6 runners left!
The 2013 Entry Period Is Now Closed!
Invitations to Run in the 2013 Ancient Oaks 100-Mile Endurance Run have all been sent out, and a Wait List of about 60 runners is already in process. Please do NOT send any Requests for an Invitation to Run – there simply is no more space in this year's race. Please try again next year! The time frame to Request an Invitation to Run will open on or about June 1, 2014 and will remain open for about six weeks, in order to give as many runners as possible a chance to request an entry into the race. See you in 2014!

Crime going down in North Baton Rouge
Related Story
BATON ROUGE - Crime is going down in one of Baton Rouge's most troubled areas.
Since June, police say crime is down by nearly 20 percent in the 70805 area of north Baton Rouge.
Police credit it to the BRAVE program, or "Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination."
Residents living in the targeted area say the once-mean streets are becoming a lot more friendly.
Fred Lewis is a barber at Miami Nights Beauty and Barber Shop on Plank Road. The shop is in the heart of 70805, and opened around the same time the BRAVE project was introduced to the area.
"It's making it better, more peaceful around here," Lewis said. "It makes a lot of us feel better, because we don't have to worry about your stuff getting broken into or nobody we know kids getting shot, or somebody whose hair I cut got shot."
Baton Rouge Police Chief Dewayne White said since BRAVE began and officers started hitting the pavement in north Baton Rouge, murders have gone down in the area. The last occurred more than a month ago.
The chief says a lot of that has to do with taking drug dealers off the streets.
"Now once we have them in the streets doing what they're doing, taking down drug dealers, you see a decrease in murders in Baton Rouge," White said.
Chief White says since the BRAVE program began, his office has also solved seven murders in the 70805 area.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a rare, life-threatening condition that prevents blood from clotting normally. The blood clots reduce blood flow and can block blood from reaching bodily organs. This increased clotting can use up the blood's platelets and clotting factors. Fewer platelets and clotting factors available result in excessive bleeding.
DIC is a serious condition that can lead to death. If you have bleeding that won't stop, go to the emergency room, or call 911.
When the proteins used in your normal clotting process become overly active, it can cause DIC. Infection, severe trauma (i.e., brain injuries, crushing injuries) inflammation, surgery, and cancer are all known to contribute to this condition.
Some less common causes of DIC include the following:
You may also develop DIC if you go into shock.
Your risk for DIC is elevated if you have recently:
Bleeding, sometimes from multiple locations on the body, is one of the more common symptoms of DIC. Bleeding from the mucosa tissue (in the mouth and nose), and bleeding from other external areas may occur. In addition, DIC may also cause internal bleeding.
Other symptoms are:
If you have cancer, DIC generally begins slowly, and clotting in the veins is more common than excessive bleeding.
DIC can cause complications, especially when it is not treated properly. The clots in the vessels will result in an inadequate oxygen supply reaching your organs. This has the potential to cause organ damage. Other complications include:
DIC may be identified through various tests related to your levels of platelets, clotting factors and other blood components. However, there is not a standard procedure. The following are some tests that may be conducted if your doctor suspects DIC.
DIC treatment depends on what is causing the disorder. Treatment of the underlying condition is the main goal. To treat the clotting problem, you may be given an anticoagulant called heparin to reduce and prevent clotting. However, heparin may not be administered if you have a severe lack of platelets or are bleeding too excessively.
People with acute DIC require hospitalization, often in an intensive care unit (ICU), where treatment will attempt to correct the problem causing the DIC while maintaining the function of the organs.
A transfusion may be needed to replace the platelets that you are missing. Plasma transfusions have the ability to replace the clotting factors that you are lacking.
Your prognosis relates to what is causing DIC. If the initial problem can be corrected, then DIC will resolve. If not, DIC can be life threatening.

Cashing In On Weight Loss
By Health Day
..through diet and exercise. But what incentives work best for obese employees? Individual programs? Or those designed to tackle obesity as a group? In a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, that was the question posed: 105 participants between the ages 18 and 70 were recruited. All had a body mass index of 30 to 40. A BMI over 30 is considered obese. The participants were broken up into three groups. All were given a link to the Weight-control Information Network of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. They were also scheduled for monthly weigh-ins and reminded by e-mail or text to make sure they came. Group 1 was comprised of individual dieters who got no further incentives. Group 2 included individual dieters who were told that 100-dollars was being set aside for each of them and would be electronically transmitted if they met their monthly weight-loss goal.

Yetu is a combination of a hardware gateway and a software platform that aims to provide a single interface for all your smart-home devices.

The V@Home DVR enables users to stream cable and satellite TV on their Wi-Fi connected mobile devices.
The Beyerdynamic T 51 p is one of the best on-ear headphones available, offering excellent sound quality and a comfortable fit.
Budget desktops might not be all that exciting, but the Gateway SX2870-UR10P slim tower shows you can still find a worthwhile day-to-day PC for under $500.
If beauty is your only priority, the Sony Xperia P will certainly satisfy, but power isn't this unlocked phone's forte.
RIM's BlackBerry Music Gateway makes it dead simple to enjoy smartphone audio in the living room.
With only a handful of 11-inch laptops still available, serious travelers are flocking to ultrathin 13-inch models instead. But the low price and good battery life of the Sony Vaio E keep it from being counted out.

For under $10, you'll be hard-pressed to find in-ear headphones that sound better and are more comfortable than the Panasonic ErgoFit RP-HJE120s.
The Sony Tablet P's clamshell design makes it very convenient, but its expensive price and the awkward implementation of its dual screens make for an undesirable tablet experience.
You could do a lot worse than the Gateway NV55S05u for a solid RAM-hard drive combination and an all-around decent processor in a 15-inch laptop, provided you can live with poor battery life.

They are multi billionaires and have successfully cheated the gullible American Evangelicals for decades. We know of no other organization who is so bent on cheating people like GFA. If any one would like to know more we can send you documentation for our allegations.

Supporting Which Troops?
From the Worldwide Standard: The Democrats have effectively cut off funds for training and equipping Iraqi soldiers.
6:36 PM, Apr 23, 2007 • By BILL ROGGIO
IN THE CONVENTIONAL template of reporting on Iraq, glossy, controversial headlines often fail to reflect the reality of the situation on the ground. Take the latest reporting by McClatchy Newspapers' Nancy A. Youssef concerning the purported shift of U.S. military power away from training Iraqi Security Forces and back toward stability operations. The Detroit Free Press titles the article "U.S. plan backs off training of Iraqis," with a subtitle of "Policy shift entrusts security to American troop buildup." The Kansas City Star leads with "In a reversal, U.S. reliance on Iraqi army is fading," and subtitles with "Training troops is no longer a priority, changing the role of American forces." Forget the fact that Youssef provides no evidence within the article to back up such bold assertions. She relies on vague or nonexistent quotes from unnamed Pentagon and Washington officials, as well as Defense Secretary Robert Gates' failure to mention training last Thursday, to support her unfounded claim. In fact, many of the named officials in her article refute her assertion.
The fact is that the U.S. and Iraqi government continue to push the training of additional Iraqi combat and support troops, and are funding a dramatic growth in the capabilities in the Iraqi Security Forces. The Congress' failure to pass the Fiscal Year 2007 (FY07) Supplemental Budget is the only thing holding up the growth and training of the Iraqi military. In the FY07 budget, Congress has inserted the demand for a date for withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, a demand which has prompted President Bush to insist he will veto the legislation.
The decrease in the training of the Iraqi Security Forces that Youssef is detecting is the first effect of delaying the FY07 supplemental budget. The money to train the Iraqi units has dried up. While about 75 percent of the expansion of the Iraqi Security Forces is funded by the Iraqi government, this money is focused on equipping and training new combat units, including upgrading units to armored and mechanized divisions. The funds to train and equip over 33,000 Iraqi Army logistics, sustainment, maintenance, and support personnel comes from the U.S. FY07 supplemental budget.
Currently, the Iraqi Army has about 13,000 support personnel to sustain a 138,000 man force. The expansion of support personnel by 33,000 troops by the end of 2007 would provide the bare minimum support necessary for independent operations. The money to train the support units cannot be legally reappropriated from U.S. budgets to fund a foreign military equipment/training program, so the programs has stopped. This weakness in current Iraqi Security Forces structure is the focus of U.S. training in the "Year of Logistics."
It is highly unusual for U.S. generals to weigh in on disputes between the executive and legislative branches. The cut in funding for the training programming has caused U.S. generals to mention the situation no less than four times since the delay in the FY07 Supplemental Budget became a critical issue. "At the current moment, because of this lack of funding, MNSTC-I is unable to continue at the pace they were in the developmental process of the Iraqi security forces," Major General William Caldwell said in a recent press briefing. "It is starting to have some impact today, and will only have more of an impact over time."
Youssef's article also fails to note some very real and significant changes which are occurring with the structure and development of the Iraqi Army. The Army is expanding from 10 to 12 divisions. The current Iraqi Army has nine light infantry divisions and one mechanized division. This will expand to 12 divisions, with one armored division and two additional mechanized divisions, which will significantly increase the Army's mobility and striking power. To augment these new heavy divisions and to accelerate the motorization of the light infantry divisions, the Iraqi government is in the process of purchasing somewhere between 600 to 800 U.S. made M60 tanks and over 4,000 assorted armored personnel carriers.

Name: Gabriel Belmont/Dracula
Game(s): Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series
Archetype: Fighter
Class: Weapons Master
Gabriel Belmont is the protagonist/antagonist/what-have-you of the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series. He, like Raoh, is a pretty complex good guy/bad guy. Granted, he's pretty uncaring in regards to normal humans, being happy terrifying/enslaving them as Dracula. However, he's also been manipulated, mind controlled, and made to do unpleasant things against his will, which is part of what has driven his madness. He cares very strongly for his family, and his desire to see them alive and united is what drives him to do good.
He's faced off against powerful vampires, demons, Satan, and Death itself. He's also battled his inner demons, in an attempt to save his own soul and die a true and worthy death. His skills in battle were legendary before he even became a vampire, and grew massively when coupled with the abilities he picked up after turning. In addition to this, pre-turning he is able to wield Light and Dark magic, and after turning he is able to wield Chaos and Void magic. That's a lot of power for one guy to possess! With his ability to wield weapons ranging from combat crosses to chaos blades, Gabriel/Dracular is a fitting Weapons Master of the highest order, seated within the upper echelons of the Fighter archetype.
In The Gabriel Belmont workout, we're going to build a body meant to go toe-to-toe with vampires, demons, and gods. We may not be able to gain vampiric strength, necessarily, but we will be building a body that can reach the upper levels of normal human strength, while still remaining fast, agile, and lethal. We're going to be looking at a solid powerlifting regimen, coupled with a fair amount of cardio, and some interesting drills.
In The Skills of Gabriel Belmont, we're going to take a look at Gabriel's combat styles, and they are many! His primary neutral weapon is the combat cross, and later the shadow whip, both of whom have very similar movements to real life whip movements and tricks. We've also got his sword and chaos claws styles to consider, so we'll take a look at some real life counterparts there as well. Gabriel's vampire powers that he gains when he becomes Dracula are a bit more difficult to emulate, but we'll talk about some of those as well.
Finally, in The Mind of Gabriel, we're going to take a look at his internal conflicts, and how he handles the various betrayals, manipulation, and otherworldly politics he's endured in his long, long life. He's a man who has both a dark and a light side, and a good study in what can happen when people gain (nearly) unlimited power. We'll examine how his familial ties affect his decision making, and how he triumphs over his own dark inclinations.
It's going to be a fun couple weeks! Gabriel's an interesting character, for sure, and his combat styles are hella fun, so I'm looking forward to it! Thanks to Ken-Oh33 over on the forums for suggesting him, and for everyone who voted in the character poll! The new poll will be up soon, so keep an eye out for it! Also, Q&A Tuesday should be live with new questions later tonight, so watch out for that on the Youtube channel as well!
Live boldly, change the world, and continue to be awesome!

Raoh is a pretty complex individual. Though he'd appear in some ways to be your typical "bad guy," he's got depth in his motivations, and a sense of honor in his actions. He's ruthless and driven, of course, and very much an asshole in some respects. He's a "might makes right" kind of person, and his personal quest to become the strongest, most powerful person in the world guides his actions. He's also guided by a "personal code," if you will. Though this code is never explicitly spelled out, it's evident in the way he deals with the sick/terminally ill, or those who cannot fight him at their best due to extenuating circumstances. He also conducts himself with respect when fighting opponents who give him their all, even if they are no match for them.
Granted, he usually still punches them to death afterwards.
There's something to be said for living by a code. Now, I'm not here to be your moral adviser, or whatever, but developing a personal code that you live by can definitely help you become a more iconic and well-developed individual. Developing such a code requires a good amount of introspection first, to understand yourself and what your true motivations and goals are. From there, you can begin to build out the base, unshakable tenets you want to live your life by. Some base examples of good tenets to live by, in my opinion…
Live by your word.
This one is simple enough in theory, but can be difficult in practice. If you say you're going to do something, do it. It's that simple. However, in order to be successful at this, you first need to be careful of what you say. You need to be sparing with your words, so you can keep your own expectations attainable. Remember, people respect actions, not words, so the only way your words hold any power is if your actions consistently back them up.
Be consistent.
Speaking of consistency, being consistent with your own code is important, too. Developing a code you live by means nothing if you don't actually stick with it. For this reason, your own personal rules should be simple, straight-forward, and few. Don't over-complicate things.
Live boldly.
You knew this was coming, right? Don't let fear rule you, don't let uncertainty shake you, and don't let shyness limit you. Seize the moment, and do whatever things you can. We talked about building your own legend in our last post, and this is a big part of that. Live boldly, do cool things, and gain powerful memories, experiences, and friends.
Now, like I said, I'm not trying to be your conscience, here. Those three little examples are obviously pretty neutral, with the exception of them all being pretty dependent upon honesty. Honesty, by the way, it a powerful tool. I'd rather deal with an honest asshole than a lying flatterer any day. Raoh's not a nice guy, and he doesn't claim to be or try to be. He is an honorable person, and one who respects power, but he's not nice, and he's rarely compassionate.
Living by your own code also allows you to be more honest with yourself, and driven in purpose. A lot of people just kind of drift through life, reacting to things as they come without any sort of general theme unifying their actions or directing their goals. Raoh is so powerful and driven because he knows what he's all about. He's honest with himself, and knows the rules he prefers to live by. In the end, that allows him to die at peace, without any regrets for his actions, because he stayed true to himself. He may be an asshole sometimes, but he's an honest asshole.

Will Marketing of Python create Revolution?
Nice to see plenty of comments from Python language lovers on "Marketing Python – An Idea Whose Time Has Come". Very rightly said by John, We need more Py-users spread the faith in Python, If we want to see the growth in Python users, we need to market the language, Lets see what can be done to attract the developers towards Python Language.
Plenty of mixed views on "Marketing Python – An Idea Whose Time Has Come", well, more the people more are the opinions ! The best way to attract the developers towards Python is offer them a killer application like Ruby on Rails. Although Turbogears, Django, Zope are doing well but they are not rocking as Ruby on Rails or they are not marketed Aggressively / in the proper way.
Python needs to concentrate on :

I wouldn't see it as an issue particularly if your using a tripod and doing long exposures if things get too dark. I can hand hold 35mm camera's reasonably successfully at 1/4sec and for some reason I like doing that. To do that though I will use any available object (wall... post... anything) to lean on.
Of course long exposures in dimly lit streets will render the street pretty desolate for the people may not even be seen in the exposure. So long as your into that I guess. I have always usually used slower films unless I want the effect of grain etc. 100 to 160 iso films are common place for myself personally.
I am new to photography and use 35 mm so take my advice as such...
I settled on tri-x 400 because the advised development time for iso 400 and iso 800 are the same. I would then expose on the same roll shot at both iso. my contact print are then heterogeneous but I would do a small print anyway if I think a photo is interesting so I can then adjust when I print individually
hi marciofs
i used to expose lots at f22 @ 45seconds for overhead vapor lamps and doing
"ground-work" i think it was tmy ( 400 ) .. so it might be a few seconds at f4.
before you shoot anything "important" maybe you should bracket the same scene ...
5, 10 20seconds &c
have fun !

Arista Premium 400, not pushed. you may need a fast lens but it all depends on the available light.
Night photography, outdoor in available light falls in the EV 3 to 5 range at 100 ISO, let's take EV 4 at ISO 100 as a typical value.
With a 400 ISO film, you could take hand-held pictures at 1/8th@f/2.8 free hand. This exposes you to both motion blur and imprecise focusing, as focusing at night, with whatever camera, is risky stuff (if you go for optimum sharpness, that is).
Using a tripod would make things much easier. You can use a ISO 100 film, take pictures in the same situation at 4"@f/8 or, as you use black & white, you can take to luxury to expose even more (8" or 16") to open the shadows more and have more printing options in the darkroom.
Check reciprocity failure of your film. Prefer films which have no reciprocity failure for this kind of use (until 16" or so of exposure).
EV tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value
PS When using the tripod with these long exposure, beware of ground vibration induced by underground trains, truck, buses, etc. Also consider that during the 16" or so exposure people walking will basically leave almost no trace in the picture. This can be interesting for architectural subject: using long exposure will eliminate the human presence in the picture.

I'm sure it really does depend on exactly what you're shooting at night. But for me, walking around on city streets with average sort of street lamps and stuff, I'm always good with my 400 speed and my 50mm 1.7 lens. I'll shoot wide open and hand held the shots with 1/30, 1/15, or 1/8 shutter speeds with pretty good results most of the time. Sometimes I'll steady myself against a pole or building if need be.

Yeah, sure. Now, the result of course depends on a lot of things; how fast lens you use, light conditions, how good you are at handholding on a bit longer exposures etc.
If you are using Tri-X (probably works the same way with other similar films too), the development time for shooting at 400 and 800 is the same, so you can push one stop even if you shoot the same film at 400 during the day.
Also, with most cameras it is possible to change films in the middle of the roll. Just make sure you don't rewind it all the way in to the cartridge (this may take some practice on some cameras). Mark the roll with the number of exposures. When changing back, just shoot the amount of exposures taken with the lens cap on, and you are back where you started. This way you can use one body but different films for daytime / night time.
I'd try opening your lens all the way up and shoot at the lowest speed you know from experience you can hold..and see if you like the results. In the end, it is a night shot and you probably want the shadows to go black anyway so. ...Missi's picture above is a good example. If you shoot handheld a lot at night, I'd highly suggest a range finder of some flavor...that alone is good for about 2 shutter speeds.

In the early '60s I took slides of building and monuments in Washington DC at night with Ektachrome T64 and Kodachrome 64. Box speed and my largest lens was f/3.5. Use a tripod. It can be done without pushing, pulling and stretching.

Detroit Tigers' Rick Porcello, foreground left, has a conference on the mound with pitching coach Jeff Jones, center, and Alex Avila in the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Boston Red Sox in Boston, Saturday, May 17, 2014. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)
- Filed Under
Manager Brad Ausmus said the Tigers had planned to send rookie left-hander Robbie Ray back to Triple-A Sunday when they activated Anibal Sanchez. Ray had come up to take Sanchez's spot while he was on the disabled list.
Then, after Rick Porcello pitched eight innings Saturday night, Tigers officials decided Porcello could use a few extra days of rest for what Ausmus termed "an ache in his side."
So on Sunday, instead of sending Ray down, the Tigers sent reliever Justin Miller to Triple-A Toledo. Ray is staying for at least four more days and will start Thursday afternoon in Porcello's place ...

Farrah Abraham Flubs Trayvon Martin's Identity, Mistakes Murdered Teen for a Girl
Perhaps Farrah Abraham should read up on her current events. While talking to Matty P's Radio Happy Hour this week, the former Teen Mom star was unaware who Trayvon Martin was -- confusing the slain teen boy at the center of the highly-publicized George Zimmerman murder trial for a girl.
"I feel like I've met her or something," the 22-year-old mom to Sophia, 4, said. "That sounds so familiar. I don't know what she is, I can't picture the person with the name right now."
Her answer sparked much surprise and shock from listeners, as the February death of Martin, 17, sparked a heated debate about racial profiling across the country. (During the Feb. 26 altercation, Zimmerman, 29, a neighborhood watch volunteer, claimed he shot Martin in self-defense.) When Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder and was acquitted of manslaughter on Saturday, July 13, many celebrities -- and even President Obama -- weighed in on the sentence.
PHOTOS: Teen Mom -- where are they now?
For now, Abraham, who recently released a sex tape and attended rehab for alcohol abuse in June, isn't worrying about her flub. "It's hard being a hot single mom, but somebodys gottta be it :) #LoveLife," she tweeted on Tuesday, July 16.
Tell Us: Are you surprised that Abraham didn't know who Martin was?

In the dream physician office, a kiosk is set up in the waiting room where patients complete a whole series of pre-visit assessments. I'm envisioning something like a validated diagnostic questionnaire pre-loaded into a tablet computer attached to a small stand outside the office door. What's really happening, though, is that patients are finding free and cheaply-developed assessment apps and trying to self-diagnose.
We here at T2 think that mobile health is the wave of the future. But, we also recognize that for many providers, the first hurdle is not in getting patients to use apps as part of their care – but in providers learning how to use their own devices in the first place!
Working with patients with neurocognitive deficits demands flexibility, creativity and persistence on the part of the clinician. It's the job of the clinician to understand each patient's unique set of strengths and weaknesses in the development of a therapy program.
Traditional health care interventions are based on theory, which helps guide the development and evaluation of those interventions. One weakness in mHealth is the lack of theory to drive the rise of innovative technology-based interventions. The next step in the development of mHealth is to use theory to drive the development and evaluation of interventions.

Dubai's secondary property market maturing fast
DSL Exhibitions recently announced the dates for the upcoming Resale & Rental Property Show with an addendum that Dubai's booming property market is now entering its second phase where individuals, rather than large developers, will begin to take the driving seat further stimulating the housing market.
"It was simply a matter of time before demand and supply – and therefore prices – begin to be determined by a large number of individuals ready to buy, rather than just a few large developers," said Shuckri Bundakji. "We, as organizers of two previous R&R shows have seen a strong secondary market developing and we expect this year's show to emphatically demonstrate this trend." The Resale & Rental Property Show (or R&R show as it is popularly known) was initiated in 2004 as a platform for the then, emerging secondary property market, where real estate brokers or individuals could put properties on the market on the spot – either for sale or rent.
Until a few years back, UAE's large expatriate community was excluded from this secondary market. With the lifting of legal restrictions on property ownership to this large segment of buyers – spearheaded by Dubai – the UAE government set in motion the first phase of the liberalization of this important market. Most large residential developments are now either ready and in use or will be completed in the next 24 months. "What this means is that market dynamics will soon be controlled by individuals, which will make this industry better regulated and more transparent," added Bundakji. "Even now, we see a softening of the market with developers offering increasingly better terms to buyers, but the prices are still more or less at their previous levels. As more supply enters the market, prices are expected to settle at a more stable level, both for sale as well as for rental."
The R&R Show Fact File:
• Ideal platform for real-estate agents, brokers, financial providers, investors and tenants in the property market for buying, re-selling renting or managing property.
• A one-stop-property-shop held over 2 days.
• Over 40 leading property agents and experts under one roof.
• The Property Wall: Enables visitors to post properties for sale or rent.
• Free workshops: Listen to and interact with experts from all related fields
• Free admission
