With over three-quarters of Senior Technical Writers in the United States reporting more than 10 years of experience, the field is heavily weighted toward experienced professionals. Average pay for Senior Technical Writers is $77K per year and can range from $56K on the lower end to $114K per year near the higher end. Total cash earnings of Senior Technical Writers range from $56K on the low end to $114K on the high end; the final amount can include bonuses and profit sharing proceeds that occasionally exceed $10K and $12K, respectively. This group's pay is mainly influenced by the company, followed by the particular city and experience level. Most Senior Technical Writers like their work and job satisfaction is high. Men are slightly outnumbered by their female counterparts who answered the questionnaire, who make up a slight majority at 56 percent. A large number enjoy medical and dental coverage in this occupation, and the larger part get vision benefits. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.

Senior Technical Writers' salary tends to stay somewhat level for those who assume higher-end positions like Technical Publications Manager. Median pay for Technical Publications Managers is $76K. Senior Technical Writers most frequently become Documentation Managers and Technical Editors even though median compensation is $8K lower and $25K lower, respectively.
Salesforce.com, Inc. offers the highest compensation with a median salary of $137K.
Survey respondents exploit a significant toolbox of skills in their work. Most notably, skills in HTML, XML, Microsoft Visio, and Project Management are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Excel, and Adobe Acrobat. Most people who know Microsoft Office also know FrameMaker and Adobe Acrobat. Most people experienced in Writing Procedures & Documentation also know Editing and FrameMaker.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Senior Technical Writers — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. The average inexperienced worker's salary is approximately $66K, and people with five to 10 years of experience bring in more at around $72K on average. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $81K. Senior Technical Writers with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $85K.
With a pay rate for Senior Technical Writers that is 37 percent greater than the national average, San Francisco offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Senior Technical Writers will also find cushy salaries in San Jose (+30 percent), New York (+19 percent), Seattle (+17 percent), and Washington (+12 percent). In Austin, salaries are 7 percent below the national average and represent the lowest-paying market. Employers in Dallas and Houston also lean toward paying below-median salaries (6 percent less).

Pink is the new black?
We received an email from Enermax letting us know that its Ostrog computer case is now available in pink (limited edition) with a white internal coating. At the bottom of the email is a taglines that reads, "Pink is the new black," which is news to us. More appropriate, however, is the timing of the launch, which just so happens to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October).
There's nothing in the materials we received to indicate Enermax was aware of the connection, but even if unintentional, it works. It might also work if you're in the market for a pink chassis, whether it's for yourself or a build for that special lady in your life (girlfriend, daughter, mother, etc).
Color scheme aside, the Ostrog features screwless optical drive installation, seven expansion slots, bottom mounted PSU slot with rubber shock dampening pads, a removable dust filter (also at the bottom), removable hard drive cage to accommodate longer graphics cards, support for CPU coolers up to 174mm, cut-outs and bumps for cable management, and USB 3.0 support.
The Ostrog Pink is available from Fry's for $70.

Maydayby Nelson Demille Thomas Block
Twelve miles above the Pacific Ocean, a missile strikes a jumbo passenger jet. The flight crew is crippled or dead. Now, defying both nature and man, three survivors must achieve the impossible. Land the plane. From master storyteller Nelson DeMille and master pilot Thomas Block comes Maydaythe classic bestseller that packs a supersonic shock at every turn of the page....the most terrifyingly realistic air disaster thriller ever. Like a growing tidal wave, the escaping air was gathering momentum. A teenaged girl in aisle 18, seat D, near the port-side aisle, her seat dislocated by the original impact, suddenly found herself gripping her seat track on the floor, her overturned seat still strapped to her body. The seatbelt failed and the seat shot down the aisle. She lost her grip and was dragged after it. Her eyes were filled with horror as she dug her nails into the carpet, as the racing air pulled her toward the yawning hole that led outside. Her cries were unheard by even those passengers who sat barely inches away from her struggle. The noise of the escaping air was so loud that it was no longer decipherable as sound, but seemed instead a solid thing pounding at the people in their seats......

February's games for subscribers unveiled
Microsoft's Games with Gold promotion is becoming a parody of itself. In February, Xbox Live Gold subscribers are once again getting two free titles, one that is the first installment of a popular franchise, and another that's an enjoyable but perhaps under-appreciated Xbox Live Arcade title. Those are Dead Island and Toy Soldiers: Cold War, respectively.
As ever, the first free game -- in this case, Dead Island -- will become free for Gold members on the first of the month. So, tomorrow. You'll then have until February 16 to download it at which point game number two, Cold War, goes free for the rest of the month.
You really should make a note to download that second one, though -- you get to shoot at tanks as an offbrand Rambo toy. It's pretty special. I also much preferred its setting over the first Toy Soldiers, so if you resisted it for similar reasons, consider getting the sequel.
Xbox Live Gold Members get Dead Island and Toy Soldiers: Cold War Free in February [Major Nelson]

62 Chrysler 300 Custom At Abandoned Train Station by FastLaneIllustrationWatch
©2012-2016 FastLaneIllustration
Here's My Latest Painting. It's a 1962 Chrysler 300 that has been customized with a Rockabilly flavor in mind. I don't usually do customs, but since we have a moderately sized rockabilly crowd here in calgary, I thought it'd be a good place to expand the market. I lowered the car down, gave it curb feelers, and side exhausts, made it flat brown, and added a few decals and pinstripes here and there. I positioned the car in front of a rusty old steam engine at an abandoned train station, because just like the background, the car Itself isn't perfect either, and thats how these Rockabilly Leadsleds are usually done. They're minimalistic, and affordable, yet have an aggressive rustic look to them. Anyway, All Fast Lane Design Artwork by Ryan Sardachuk.
That's a '61, Bubba... '62's had no fins.
Great detail! Love the license plate and curb feelers!
Too bad, so many cars have ended up like that locomotive...while the locomotive would probably not even exist any more...
Hate to be a wet blanket. It's a 1961, not a `62. Had one just like it. No fins on the `62. Nice artwork, though. BTW, a `61 300 G convertible (which this is), even in rough condition would be worth a small fortune.
Great one!! looks very nice!
Great car! I love those little cool details - the pin striping, exhaust and curb feelers. The train in the background is impressive and I love the rust texture.
Nice work. You could title it "lots of iron" !

Pinkie and Pokey?
Is that a condom I see as a cutiemark? Oh boy, if it is, Pinkie's gun have good times!

Twilight is me and everyone else is my cousin and friends. There all in "love" with other people (gurls) :/ me and my friend are afaird of girls ( yeah I know) so we got no one to "love". However I do like one girl in my grade but Im too afraid to even talk to her so yeah. Twilight=me :/

Guinness Brownies with Maple Buttercream Frosting
7 comments:
mmmmmmmm! I keep all of my bars in the fridge, I think they just taste better that way!ReplyDelete
Omgosh! These look so good! I kinda do not like you right now...lol!! ;) It is midnight and I'm just getting to blogs and now I'm hungry!! xoxoReplyDelete
One word - YUM!!ReplyDelete
I think these would be worth EVERY point!!! And I raise a glass of Guinness to you and your fantastic recipes Renee! Have a good week.ReplyDelete
I made some Guiness brownies last year for St Patricks day too but they were pretty beery-lol. These sound great!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm thinking maybe using the draught beer and not the stout might have made a difference in how beery they turned out! lolDelete
It's funny Renee, I don't like sweets all that much (give me pretzels and nuts any day!) but brownies?! Not only insulin worthy but absolutely delicious!!ReplyDelete

ADF4002 FMC-SDP Interposer & Evaluation Board / Xilinx KC705 Reference Design
Supported Devices
Evaluation Boards
This document presents the steps to setup an environment for using the EVAL-ADF4002SD1Z evaluation board together with the Xilinx KC705 FPGA board and the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK). Below is presented a picture of the EVAL-ADF4002SD1Z Evaluation Board with the Xilinx KC705 board.
For component evaluation and performance purposes, as opposed to quick prototyping, the user is directed to Analog Devices System Demonstration Platform (SDP). The SDP consists of a:
- a controller board, like the EVAL-SDP-CS1Z (SDP-S)
- a compatible Analog Devices SDP product evaluation board
- corresponding PC software
The EVAL-SDP-CS1Z controller board is Serial Interfaces Only, low cost, reduced functionality controller board. It has a USB to Serial Engine at its core. It connects to the PC through a USB 2.0 high speed port. The SDP-S has a single 120 pin connector and exposes SPI, I2C and GPIO interfaces to connected SDP daughter boards.
The EVAL-ADF4002SD1Z is designed to allow the user to evaluate the performance of the ADF4002 frequency synthesizer, used to implement local oscillators in the upconversion and downconversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. Figure 1 shows the board, which contains the ADF4002 synthesizer, an SMA connector for the reference input, power supplies, and an RF output. There is also a footprint for a loop filter and a VCO on board.
The ADF4002 frequency synthesizer is used to implement local oscillators in the upconversion and downconversion sections of wireless receivers and transmitters. It consists of a low noise digital phase frequency detector (PFD), a precision charge pump, a programmable reference divider, and programmable N divider. The 14-bit reference counter (R counter) allows selectable REFIN frequencies at the PFD input. A complete phase-locked loop (PLL) can be implemented if the synthesizer is used with an external loop filter and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). In addition, by programming R and N to 1, the part can be used as a standalone PFD and charge pump.
More information
- ADF4002 Product Info - pricing, samples, datasheet
Getting Started
The first objective is to ensure that you have all of the items needed and to install the software tools so that you are ready to create and run the evaluation project.
Required Hardware
- FMC-SDP adapter board
- EVAL-ADF4002SD1Z evaluation board
Required Software
- Xilinx ISE 14.6.
- UART Terminal (Termite/Tera Term/Hyperterminal), baud rate 115200.
- Xilinx Boards Common Drivers: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/no-OS/tree/master/platform_drivers/Xilinx/SDP_Common
- EDK KC705 Reference project: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/fpgahdl_xilinx/tree/master/cf_sdp_kc705
Hardware setup
Before connecting the ADI evaluation board to the Xilinx KC705 make sure that the VADJ_FPGA voltage of the KC705 is set to 3.3V. For more details on how to change the setting for VADJ_FPGA visit the Xilinx KC705 product page.
- Use the FMC-SDP interposer to connect the ADI evaluation board to the Xilinx KC705 board on the FMC LPC connector.
- Connect the JTAG and UART cables to the KC705 and power up the FPGA board.
Reference Project Overview
The following commands were implemented in this version of EVAL-ADF4002SD1Z reference project for Xilinx KC705 FPGA board.
|Displays all available commands.
| Update the selected latch with the current set ups. Accepted value:
0 - Reference latch

The following image shows a generic list of commands in a serial terminal connected to Xilinx KC705 FPGA's UART peripheral.
Software Project Setup
The hardware platform for each reference projects with FMC-SDP interposer and KC705 evaluation board is common. The next steps should be followed to recreate the software project of the reference design:
- First download the KC705 Reference project from Github on your computer. You can do this by clonning this repository: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/fpgahdl_xilinx.
- From this entire repository you will use cf_sdp_kc705 folder. This is common for all KC705 projects.
- Open the Xilinx SDK. When the SDK starts, it asks you to provide a folder where to store the workspace. Any folder can be provided. Make sure that the path where it is located does not contain any spaces.
- In the SDK select the File→Import menu option to import the software projects into the workspace.
- In the Import window select the General→Existing Projects into Workspace option.
- In the Import Projects window select the cf_sdp_kc705 folder as root directory and check the Copy projects into workspace option. After the root directory is chosen the projects that reside in that directory will appear in the Projects list. Press Finish to finalize the import process.
- The Project Explorer window now shows the projects that exist in the workspace without software files.
- Now the software must be added in your project. For downloading the software, you must use 3 links from Github given in Downloads section. From there you'll download the specific driver, the specific commands and the Xilinx Boards Common Drivers(which are commons for all Xilinx boards). All the software files downloaded must be copied in src folder from sw folder.
- Before compilation in the file called Communication.h you have to uncomment the name of the device that you currently use. In the picture below there is an example of this, which works only with AD5629R project. For another device, uncomment only the respective name. You can have one driver working on multiple devices, so the drivers's name and the uncommented name may not be the same for every project.
- The SDK should automatically build the project and the Console window will display the result of the build. If the build is not done automatically, select the Project→Build Automatically menu option.
- If the project was built without any errors, you can program the FPGA and run the software application.

The financial markets are presenting a very interesting quandary for investors.
At quick glance, it appears that we have been given a Christmas present.
The quandary is that in opening the present, will it have been an opportunity to jump on board or get out with our lives?
Those who believe the recent surge in the market is just the beginning of a new bull market extravaganza cite the traditional "climbing the wall of worry" as a catalyst. They'll point to the "accommodations being made" in Europe and a crisis they believe will be averted as it always has been.
Lower earnings expectations that have been exceeded by many companies will give credence to the fading of recession fears.
The BRIC countries are singled out as leaders in the growth engine for the next decade. Of course, the strength of the stock market itself will be fuel enough for the continuation of a melt-up.
To those who look at this Christmas present as an opportunity to get on board, you will be very satisfied by the hopium which is being extolled.
Others that think differently, and I'm one, consider this a present for those who haven't yet exited the market.
For two weeks this past August, we saw the powerful downside of fear, as a year-and-a-half of gains were completely wiped out. Now, after the recovery, the markets are waffling between nearly positive and negative returns.
One day they're down 200, the next day up 200, it all depends upon the last thirty minutes of the trading day.
The reality of Europe, the BRICs, and even the U.S. itself is they're all running out of time. Contraction, recession, and outright collapse is on the horizon.
The proverbial "kicking the can down the road" has unfortunately run out of pavement. As decisions are made and actions are implemented, someone has to lose.
For years, it was the depositor and the taxpayer who lost, now however, given the politics and economic realities it would appear the tide has changed.
As markets realize the inevitable losses that will be taken, they too will reflect this changing tide.
Before that happens, however, we will all be given that opportunity, that gift to sell your positions and stand aside. So, a present is given and an opportunity presented. Here's the big question: What exactly is wrapped in that shiny gift?
Only time will tell if it's a big lump of coal.

Lent arrives on February 10! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
We are here directed not to cast pearls before swine (Matt. 7:6) and not to expose things sacred to the contempt and ridicule of profane scoffers. It is our duty to take all fit occasions to speak of divine things; but, 1. There are some that will make a jest of every thing, though it be ever so prudently and pertinently spoken, that will not only despise a wise man's words, but despise even the wisdom of them, that in them which is most improvable for their own edification; they will particularly reproach that, as if it had an ill design upon them, which they must guard against. 2. Those that do so forfeit the benefit of good advice and instruction, and a wise man is not only allowed, but advised, not to speak in the ears of such fools; let them be foolish still, and let not precious breath be thrown away upon them. If what a wise man says in his wisdom will not be heard, let him hold his peace, and try whether the wisdom of that will be regarded.

This document describes the process of starting the Aida system, AIDAPROD, after it has been down (for instance, after a planned or unplanned power outage). The old AIDALCLS system running on lcls-daemon4 has been decommissioned. The new AIDAPROD system now runs on the Linux mccas0 system, which was previously a Solaris system until April 21, 2015.
The AIDAPROD system is now the only Aida system and is used by all Aida users, including LCLS Operations, FACET, NLCTA, and physicists in their offices. Although not part of the AIDAPROD system, the system depends on two Err processes (oocCosEventService and errClient) to log messages and these processes must be started before any of the Aida processes.
There are two machines on which the Err and AIDAPROD processes run: the Linux mccas0 machine and the VMS mcc machine. The two Err processes, the core Aida processes (DaNameServer and DaServer), and the UNIX (Linux) Aida data provider processes run on mccas0. The VMS Aida data provider processes, almost exclusively now only servicing requests from FACET project Aida clients, run on mcc.
After logging onto mccas0 as laci, the "ps -ef | grep -i java" command will show all of the Java processes running on this machine including the Err and Aida processes. The AIDAPROD processes running on mcc may be identified using a "show sys" command with names having a prefix "AIDA" without a suffix of LCLS (those with a suffix of LCLS belonged to the now decommissioned AIDALCLS system).
The Err and UNIX Aida processes are started in the following order on mccas0:
The VMS Aida processes are all Aida data provider processes and may be started in any order on the VMS mcc machine after the Err and core Aida processes are running on the Linux mccas0 machine: the Aida SLC Control Database server, the Aida SLC History server, the Aida SLC BPM Orbit Data server, the Aida SLC Magnet server, the Aida SLC Utility server, the Aida SLC Master Oscillator server, the Aida SLC Klystron server, the Aida SLC Model Server, and the Aida SLC Buffered Data server.
As mentioned previously, the two Err processes are not part of the AIDAPROD system but must be running before the AIDAPROD system is started. They are used to log Aida informational, warning, and error messages. One of the key methods for determining the health of the Aida system when the Aida processes are started is to observe Aida log messages using the Message Log Viewer. Errors encountered when processing Aida client requests are also logged. Aida processes running on the Linux mccas0 system have a program tag of LCLS while Aida processes running on the VMS mcc system have a program tag of FACET, since requests serviced by the VMS Aida data providers almost exclusively come from FACET project Aida clients.
As described above, it is important to bring up the Err processes, oocCosEventService and errClient, on mccas0 before attempting to start the AIDAPROD Aida system. The Err processes are started by the st.ooc_CosEventService and st.err "type 1" startup files located in the /etc/init.d directory on mccas0. First the st.ooc_CosEventService startup file and then the st.err startup file is invoked when the mccas0 system is rebooted. To start these proceesses manually:
In the past the cmlogClientD process was needed on the mccas0 system to forward Err messages to the iocLogMsgServer process running on lcls-daemon2. This process is no longer needed since the errClient process now directly forwards these Err messages.
Log files for the startup of the Err processes are located in:
After starting the Err processes, oocCosEventService and errClient, the AIDAPROD Aida system may be started. Assuming that the iocLogMsgServer message logging process is running on lcls-daemon2, log messages from the Aida processes may be observed using the Message Log Viewer. This viewer may be brought up by selecting the "Message Log..." button on the "lclshome" display, which may be displayed by invoking the "lclshome" script on a machine such as lcls-builder using the softegr account. The Message Log Viewer is one of the primary methods of determining the health of Aida processes.
The DaNameServer and DaServer processes are the first Aida system processes that should be started and run on the Linux mccas0 system. These processes are started by the st.DaNameServer and st.DaServer "type 1" startup files located in the /etc/init.d directory on mccas0. First the st.DaNameServer startup file and then the st.DaServer startup file are the first Aida process startup files invoked when the mccas0 system is rebooted. To start these processes manually:
Observe the Message Log Viewer display to determine whether the DaNameServer and DaServer processes were successfully started. All Aida processes send the log message "Server ready" if they have been successfully started. One will almost certainly want to use the filter capability of the Message Log Viewer to see only messages for desired processes (e.g., filter LCLS messages having the Host name "mccas0" to view only log messages from Aida processes running on the mccas0 system).
Log files for the startup of these Aida processes running on mccas0 are located in the following directory:
After the DaNameServer and DaServer have been successfully started on mccas0 the rest of the AIDAPROD Aida system processes may be restarted. The following are the "type 1" startup files located in the /etc/init.d directory on mccas0 for the remainder of the AIDAPROD Aida system processes on mccas0: st.DpCaLclsServer, st.DpCaServer, st.DpKlysServer, st.DpModelServer, st.DpRdbServer, st.DpTestHistServer, and st.DpTestServer. These Aida UNIX data providers may be started in any order. For example, these processes may be started manually as follows:
Observe the Message Log Viewer display to confirm that each of the Aida data provider processes and the test Aida data provider processes have sent the log message "Server ready", indicating that the server was successfully started.
Sometimes a problem occurs while trying to start the DpCaServer or DpCaLclsServer processes resulting in the "Server ready" log message not appearing for one of these processes. The log file for the process will have the following line:
The AIDAPROD VMS processes will not startup correctly until first the Err processes and then the Aida core processes (DaNameServer and DaServer) are running on mccas0. They may be started as follows (these Aida data provider processes may be started in any order):

Observe the Message Log Viewer display to confirm that each Aida server process started has sent the log message "Server ready" indicating that the server was successfully started. One will almost certainly want to use the filter capability of the Message Log Viewer to see only messages for desired processes (e.g., filter FACET messages having the Host name "mcc.slac.stanford.edu" to view only log messages from Aida processes running on the mcc system).
An AIDAPROD data provider validation script is available that can help in determining whether the AIDAPROD data providers are correctly functioning. An Aida data provider is any Aida process other than DaNameServer and DaServer. For each Aida data provider the validation script sends a client request to the data provider (server) and determines whether a response was successfully returned.
The AIDAPROD data provider validation script may be invoked as follows:
This results in output that includes the status of each client request to a server (e.g., "slcDbStatus = 0"). A displayed value of 0 indicates a response was successfully returned from the associated server and can be interpreted to mean that the server is functioning correctly. A displayed value of 1 indicates that a response was not returned. This can be interpreted to mean that there is a problem with the associated server unless there is a known reason why this condition occurred. When starting all of the computer systems after a down period there may be instances when there is a valid reason for an Aida server not to return a response to a client request (e.g., the client request involves a PV whose associated IOC is not yet running). One may see the results through the UNIX watchdog interface.

Awesome: X-COM
- The intro for the first X-COM. We start out with a UFO beaming a pack of Mutons down to a city, who proceed to lay waste to the local populace. Then the scene cuts to X-COM HQ, who answer the call to arms. Once their futuristic gunship touches down, we are treated to a bunch of soldiers wasting the tough-as-nails Mutons with rifles and auto-cannons, which normally wouldn't leave a dent in them. When the other aliens see the X-COM troopers beating the crap out of their buddies, they beam back up to the UFO and dust off.
- Terror from the Deep has you going up against lizardmen, giant lobsters, dinosaurs with Wave Motion Guns, and last but not least, Cthulhu.
- Using Psi/Molecular Control to control aliens, and then blasting the crap out of them with whatever they're carrying. Bonus points if you snagged a tough Terror Unit like the Triscene.
- Even more fun, several game bugs include the ability to mind control one of your own Chryssalid infected soldiers, because of the bug the Chryssalid that spawns upon a mind controlled Zombie's death will return to your side after the turn for the rest of the battle, along with its massive amount of time units, and if the zombie was from another X-COM soldier then it is able to return to base completely normal at the end of the mission.
- Authority Equals Asskicking is in full effect. If a soldier survives to the highest rank, they will be the best that you have to offer. If a soldier survives to Major, it's either a long, long string of dumb luck or ludicrously good stats or insanely good strategy on the Player's part. A Tear Jerker and a Heroic BSOD most commonly occur ingame and meta whenever a Colonel is killed, due to the massive amounts of panic it causes on your fellow soldiers, and the fact that you just lost your best soldier.

Phelps Puts Reputation On Line For Supplement
Packets of the powdered dietary supplement called PureSport sit in cardboard boxes poolside when Michael Phelps trains, and a plastic PureSport water bottle is propped next to his lane. Even Phelps's training mates empty the stuff into their water bottles before workouts.
Phelps readily touts the company's dietary supplement products and says he does not fear a positive drug test.
PureSport advertises itself as an optimal mix of protein, electrolytes and carbohydrates. But dozens of athletes — most recently world-record holder Jessica Hardy — have been felled over the years by dietary supplements tainted with banned substances not indicated on their labels. Hardy tested positive for clenbuterol just weeks before the Beijing Summer Games and was kicked off the Olympic team; nearly a year had passed before a U.S. arbitration panel declared the result due to a contaminated supplement.
The World Anti-Doping Agency calls the use of dietary supplements by athletes "a concern" and advises "extreme caution" regarding their use. The dietary supplement industry, largely unregulated in the United States, has been the subject of congressional hearings and has proven rife with products containing illegal or unidentified substances. An investigation by The Washington Post found designer steroids in a number of readily available supplements in 2005.
All of which raises the question: Why would Phelps risk taking anything at all?
Phelps and his coach, Bob Bowman, who are paid to endorse PureSport, say they believe in the product, trust the people behind it and, on top of that, take extraordinary precautions. Phelps uses the supplement, which was introduced to the market in 2008, because he and Bowman believe he needs additional nutritional intake when in the midst of heavy training.
Other star athletes — swimmers Aaron Peirsol, Brendan Hansen, Katie Hoff and gymnast Nastia Liukin, among others — also endorse the product, and many more, including Lance Armstrong and Dara Torres, endorse other dietary supplements.
"Everything sent to me is checked and double-checked to make sure it is clean," Phelps said. "Supplements, you always take at your own risk. That's how it's always been."
Ultimately, Phelps and Bowman say, they refuse to live in fear of a worst-case scenario.
"I can't spend every minute of every day being afraid," Bowman said. "You go with it. We know we've done our homework. It's a leap of faith to some degree."
The problems within the multi-billion dollar U.S. supplement industry have been well-documented, but not easily solved. In the famous "StarCaps" case in the NFL, six players tested positive after consuming weight-loss drugs contaminated with a prohibited diuretic and were suspended for four games. Swimmer Kicker Vencill missed a chance to compete in the 2004 Summer Games when he took a supplement laced with a steroid. Vencill, who was banned for two years, was awarded more than $500,000 by a jury after suing the company.
"Is it worth the risk to get a questionable bump in performance?" said Gary Wadler, chairman of WADA's Prohibited List and Methods Sub-Committee. "If I were an athlete, I wouldn't take that stuff."
Pitching itself as an antidote to the ills in the supplement industry, PureSport says its products are made at National Science Foundation certified labs to ensure no contamination. They are also randomly tested by a facility in Cambridge, England, for banned substances. Elite athletes, said PureSport President Michael Humphrey, are guaranteed the additional testing by the Cambridge lab.
"There's nothing else we could do," Humphrey said. "There's no other safety guard we could take."
John Ivy, the Chairman of Health and Kinesiology at the University of Texas at Austin, created the PureSport formulas, which are used by 20 to 30 Division I collegiate programs, according to Humphrey.
"John's a very serious scientist," said Wadler, the WADA official. "That gives it a second look … He knows about carbohydrates, he knows about fluid balance, he knows about those kinds of things — which is different than [what's in] some of those weird supplements out there that you can't even pronounce."
Hardy, it's worth noting, was not taking a weird supplement. She decided to take a product, also a powder mixed with water, made by AdvoCare after consulting with two sport officials, one of whom told her the company was considered reputable. AdvoCare also claimed to have its products tested by an outside lab and Hardy met personally with company officials who guaranteed the product's purity, according to the arbitration ruling that cut her two-year ban in half.
Phelps "endorses supplements still, today," Hardy told The Post this summer. "If that had happened to him …. It very much could have happened to him."
Hansen said PureSport understands the stakes of working with an athlete like Phelps.
"If [Phelps] fails a drug test because of something like that, it's all over for a lot of people," Hansen said. "For someone like him to trust our product, that speaks for itself."
Bowman and Phelps said he had previously taken a protein product designed by Ivy called Endurox — only he hated the taste of that one. When asked a couple years ago to try out Ivy's newest product by the brother of Austin-based swim coach Eddie Reese, Phelps found the taste more to his liking.
Leading up to the Olympic Games, every sample sent to Phelps was given additional testing, Bowman said.
"You couldn't have taken more precautions than Michael took," Bowman said. "I use it because you can't make peanut-butter-and-jelly and give it to him within 20 minutes of practice every day, and eating grapes by the side of the pool won't cut it, either.
"If you're trying to swim the program he did in Beijing, you're not doing that on normal nutrition."
PureSport is not a supplement. It is a hydration and recovery drink. Folks think that it is because its in a powder form right now. Do you consider gatorade or powerade a supplement? I would guess not. Plus the only reason I trust the product is because it is tested by Informed Sport unlike Advocare (pay attention Hardy). I think its hilarious when a journalist tries to write a story when there isn't one there. What Phelps has done has been absolutely amazing in our sport. Don't try and knock him. My hats off to PureSport for actually coming out with something healthy for athletes.
– Master Swimmer
Thanks for the comment. As it says on PureSport's label, it has not been evaluated by the FDA; it's neither a food nor a drug and thus falls in the huge supplement category. Dietary supplements include everything from vitamins and minerals to, as history has shown, more nefarious muscle-building substances. Many dietary supplements are, presumably, credible, safe products that we all use and don't think twice about. The category includes perfectly harmless stuff, zinc supplements, herbal products, you name it. But the industry is almost completely unregulated. Manufacturers go through NO approval process with the FDA; by law, it is THEIR responsibility to ensure the accuracy of their labels and purity of their products. This situation has created an industry filled with problems — caused both by renegade producers out to make a buck on various health remedies or muscle-honing products, and well-meaning producers who unwittingly end up with contaminated products (either because they mixed stuff in a contaminated vat, or ordered substances that were contaminated). And the situation is doubly problematic for athletes, especially in Olympic sports, because drug-testing is so unforgiving. Even a tiny little error on someone's part can destroy a career. The goal with the story was to illustrate the dilemma: Athletes are faced with horror stories all around them–and there are many–not to mention constant warnings from USADA and WADA, yet they feel they need extra nutrition to support their incredible workloads. Sure, some products are probably super-pure and super-safe — and maybe PureSport is at the very top of that list– but there is a risk with taking anything. Could you take any more precautions than Phelps has? Doubtful. Has he minimized the risk (short of taking no supplements)? Seems so. PureSport is a really interesting company; it might be — as the article said — potentially an antidote to the industry's myriad problems. The company has a top-notch, credible scientist — if WADA's Gary Wadler respects the guy, that's a pretty powerful plug — and it is trying to head off potential problems with extraordinary safety measures. It's an interesting concept; they certainly have attracted a stable full of stars.
I think it's hilarious when someone without the facts knocks a balanced and well-researched piece of journalism.
Didn't we all learn something from Jessica Hardy's choice of supplemental companies SHE deliberately partook in at the time of the Olympic Trials. Why Michael – if you are so NATURALLY talented would you go the way of Jessica – or even presume to desire to go that way? It will never be proven if Ms. Hardy knew she was doing something banned to her body – the record states she bore the justified consequence for it being in her body. She shoulda just gone the natural way. All the other athletes – including yourself – went the natural way.
This confounds and confuses me. And saddens me for the sport. One step away from all the other cheaters, Michael. Are you happy now – don't you have enough money at this point?
I could be mistaken but I think most of the problems that have occurred with other supplements is that they are manufactured in facilities where other products that would cause an athlete to flunk a drug test are being manufactured (I believe this was the argument that Hardy used in her defense). It's comparable to the problem that people who are deathly allergic to nuts face: If they know a supposedly nut-free product is nonetheless made in a factory where products with nuts are also made, they do not take a chance on eating it.
What I would want to know for sure is if PureSport is being made in facilities where there's no chance of contamination. It sounds as if it is, but it would be a question worth asking. I've been using PureSport myself and like it a lot (taste and recovery effects), but I'm long past my days of drug testing!
If you trust the product because it is tested by Informed Choice, then you also trust Advocare. Check the Informed Choice website. Also, the Advocare product used by Hardy was a recovery drink mix as well.
i completely agree with dave, pure sport is a drink like gatorade or powerade. brenden hansen is working for the company. and dave is right that the journalist is writing a story that isnt even a story. this is nothing to write about. michael phelps' reputation will not be affected by him drinking a energy drink.
That's probably what Jessica Hardy was thinking – and putting her trust upon – right up until that blood test(s) post trials.
I remain highly skeptical of all of this – and disappointed in Phelps feeling he so needs to go here. Again – does he not have enough money from the sport by this point. And Hardy – her reputation and motivations remain sullied. For life. Why go where Hardy went. Why would anyone?
There is absolutely no controversy with PureSport or Endurox. I don't know a single swimmer that does not drink one of these two "recovery drinks" after practice. I do not know a single swim coach that does not encourage his athletes to drink one of these two drinks. This article is trying to make something out of nothing. These drinks are basically Gatorade or Powerade, but with added whey protein and carbohydrates to aid in post-workout recovery. It's not like these drinks are steriods in a bottle. It's like drinking Boost or Ensure after practice, but with more of a bent towards endurance athletes like swimmers, bikers, and runners with aerobic-based practices.
The author of this article is also trying to make these products sound like they're not well know. Ever heard of Accelerade or seen those commerials? It's the same thing as Endurox but for during the workout rather than afterwards.
There is no risk here by Phelps. These products are used by thousands and thousands of other athletes for post-workout nutrition. No controversy here.
What we have here is a reasonable discussion, mostly. Good points, Jane. Jessica Hardy and Kicker Vencill got some bad breaks, stood up for themselves and emerged wiser and very respectably. No question, there is a market for healthy products, that still have a good (or not all that bad) taste or aftertaste. (I did hear that one of the earlier versions of one of the products mentioned above tasted like sweat…) So, I do not think it is a crisis that Phelps and other athletes are looking for healthy ways to keep their bodies performing at optimum levels. Good work, PureSport.
Swim Mom, other bashers,
Not only are we talking about Michael Phelps, but Bob Bowman, a coach who is more protective over Michael than most parents are of their kids. What credibility do you or any of us have to question their decision? If you think in your expert opinion that this is a bad move, how much more do you think Phelps and Bowman have thought it through? They have a hell of a lot more to lose than you, might I add. Not to mention this product is much more proven than others…did you read the names of athletes that use it?
Dave is right, this is a sad attempt by a journalist to cause controversy over something that has no controversy.
You're the kind of person who looks for any excuse possible to bash someone who has it better than you. Who cares how much money Phelps has or the success he has enjoyed? Seriously, would you like to test for Gatorade in athlete's systems? Get a life, he's taking it because its clean and helps him train at his best. Who the hell cares if he gets payed for it? Thats what sponsors do, I wonder if you protest every professional athlete who endorses a product? Nobody gets to Phelps' level by raw talent. They get there by working harder than anybody else. And to train at that level 7 days a week they need all the energy they can get, and like Bowman said, its not like he can sit on the pool deck and suck down PB&Js and grapes before every workout.
Can everyone leave Phelps alone please? Jesus
It seems to me some of you are jealous, these athletes can't help the talent they got eating and drinking like the average person is unhealthy for them. When you get in the pull 7 days a week for 2+ more hours at a time and burn 10,000 calories and don't have to supplement nutrition, we all would appreciate your comments. Until then if all you have is negative, keep your lips together and your fingers off the keyboard.
I really appreciate you taking the time to post this info for readers like me to read.
your the type of person/typical women who doesnt know anything about sports and how much time and effort and energy you put into it. its not like i can be on an average healthy diet and expect to be above average in my sport, diet is everything, so i have to eat an above average diet to be above average. when your swimming as hard as phelps, you need something to aid your muscles in recovery to be ready for the next day. and as far as the money issue goes, just fuck off. hes didnt endorse it for the money obviously, he did it for the bennafits that come with the product. so do your reasearch next time before you post stupid ass comments like yours. obviously i know what im talking about.(get owned bitch)

In my sidebar I am trying to retrieve a list of posts from a certain category with query_posts.
$query = "cat=5&showposts=3";
$posts = query_posts($query);
This is working well except for posts that are assigned to more than one category.
For example:
Post a,b,c are in category 5 and post d is in category 4 and 5.
Now my query doesn't return post d.
Is there a way to make this work?
By the way these posts with multiple categories do get displayed when queried in the normal loop for example when I use http://www.domainname.com/?cat=5

Best Breakfast Burrito Neighborhood (2010)
2500 Block of Federal Blvd.
The breakfast burrito could be Colorado's official food. Just about every breakfast joint in Denver offers one, even if the only authentically Mexican thing about the place is the dishwasher. Vendors peddle breakfast burritos door-to-door at office buildings in the morning and sell them in LoDo at let-out. And you can find a good breakfast burrito on just about every block in the city — especially the 2500 block of Federal Boulevard. In this corner, at 2505 Federal, an outpost of Santiago's, the homegrown chain that's found many fans for its hot green chile and tidy, foil-wrapped breakfast burritos that go for $2 with cheese, $1.75 without (720-855-8109). Across the street, at 2524 Federal, Jack-n-Grill, Jack Martinez's shrine to New Mexican food, offers a very respectable Colorado breakfast burrito to-go for $2 (303-964-9544). And around the corner, at 2900 East 26th Avenue, Araujo (303-455-3866) wins the price game, burrito-filled hands down: Its breakfast burrito is just 99 cents. (Come back during the day for four tacos for $5.)
