Article: Comparison of open and double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges in diagnosis of food hypersensitivity amongst children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Correct diagnosis of food hypersensitivity (FHS) is important to ensure appropriate patient care and to accurately establish the population prevalence and incidence. Food challenges play a very important role in the diagnosis of FHS, but it is unclear when open food challenges (OFCs) opposed to double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges (DBPCFCs) should be used. This study investigated the use of OFCs and DBPCFCs when diagnosing FHS. Children with a reported history of FHS or with sensitization to a food without known previous consumption were invited to undergo food challenges. Children of consenting parents underwent an OFC and those with a positive OFC were approached to undergo a DBPCFC. Food challenges were either performed as 1-day or 1-week challenges depending on sensitization status and clinical history. Forty-one children underwent both OFCs and DBPCFCs. The positive predictive values for 1-day and 1-week OFCs were 73% (8/11; 95% CI: 39-94%) and 57% (20/35; 95% CI: 39-74%) respectively. There was no evidence to indicate that the younger children were more likely to have a positive OFC confirmed by a DBPCFC compared to older children (Fisher's exact P = 0.53). In the 1-day challenges parents indicated a preference for OFC rather than DBPCFC. By contrast, in the 1-week challenge parents indicated a preference for DBPCFC (P = 0.0192). Open food challenge may be suitable for diagnosing immediate objective symptoms, whereas DBPCFC may be needed for the diagnosis of delayed and mainly subjective symptoms, irrespective of the child's age.
Article: Prevention of allergic disease during childhood by allergen avoidance: The Isle of Wight Prevention Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Early life allergen exposure may increase the risk of childhood allergy, but the protective effect of reduction in allergen exposure remains uncertain. To evaluate the effect of reduction in food and house dust mite (HDM) allergen exposure in infancy in preventing asthma and allergy. Infants, at higher risk because of family predisposition, were recruited prenatally and randomized to prophylactic (n = 58) and control (n = 62) groups. Prophylactic group infants were either breast-fed with mother on a low allergen diet or given an extensively hydrolyzed formula. Exposure to HDM was reduced by the use of an acaricide and mattress covers. The control group followed standard advice. Development of allergic diseases and sensitization to common allergens (atopy) was assessed blindly at ages 1, 2, 4, and 8 years in all 120 children. Repeated measurement analysis, adjusted for all relevant confounding variables, confirmed a preventive effect on asthma: adjusted odds ratio (OR), 0.24; 95% CI, 0.09-0.66; P = .005; atopic dermatitis, OR, 0.23; CI, 0.08-0.64; P = .005; rhinitis, OR, 0.42; CI, 0.19-0.92; P = .03; and atopy, OR, 0.13; CI, 0.05-0.32; P < .001. The protective effect was primarily observed in the subgroup of children with persistent disease (symptoms at all visits) and in those with evidence of allergic sensitization. Allergic diseases can be reduced, for at least the first 8 years of life, by combined food and HDM allergen avoidance in infancy. Strict food and HDM allergen avoidance should be considered for prevention of allergy in high-risk infants.
Article: Reliability and Validity of a Maternal Food Frequency Questionnaire designed to estimate consumption of common food allergens[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Maternal food intake during pregnancy may influence the development of food hypersensitivity (FHS) in the child. A food frequency questionnaire estimating the frequency with which some of the mains food allergens are consumed was designed and validated. Pregnant women were recruited at the ante-natal clinic of St. Mary's Hospital, Isle of Wight, UK. A food frequency questionnaire was developed and validated by comparing responses to information recorded in 7 days food diaries. The reliability of the food frequency questionnaire was evaluated by asking women to complete the questionnaire on two separate occasions at 30 and 36 weeks gestation. Fifty-seven women completed the validity study and 91 women completed the reliability study. For both validity and reliability, questions with dichotomous response categories showed the highest level of agreement. Frequency of intake of foods commonly "hidden" in foods produced the lowest validity and reliability scores. In the validity study responses to the food frequency questionnaire identically matched information recorded in the food diaries 80% of the time, on average. In the reliability study, responses were identical on both questionnaires 85% of the time on average. In this study a food frequency questionnaire estimating the frequency with which some of the main food allergens are consumed during pregnancy was designed and validated. This food frequency questionnaire could be used in future studies to assess the role of maternal food intake in the development of FHS in the infant.
Article: The diagnosis of Brazil nut allergy using history, skin prick tests, serum-specific immunoglobulin E and food challenges[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Allergy to Brazil nut is a relatively common nut allergy and can be fatal. However, the evidence is lacking regarding the best approach to its diagnosis. We sought to determine the relative merits of history, skin prick testing, measurement of serum-specific IgE and challenge in the diagnosis of Brazil nut allergy. Fifty-six children and adults with a history of an allergic reaction to Brazil nut or evidence of sensitization were investigated by questionnaire (n=56), skin prick tests (SPTs) (n=53), measurement of serum-specific IgE to Brazil nut (n=54) and double-blind, placebo-controlled labial, and if necessary oral, challenges (n=19). Brazil nut allergy occurred in highly atopic individuals of any age with a strong family history of atopy. In 24 of 56 (43%), the history of an immediate reaction was sufficient to make a diagnosis with confidence and an oral challenge was considered unsafe. Of the 19 subjects undertaking the 'gold standard' test of a double-blind, placebo-controlled, food challenge, all six subjects with a SPT of at least 6 mm had a positive challenge and all three subjects with a SPT of 0 mm had a negative challenge. In the remaining 10 (53%) subjects, where SPT was between 1 and 5 mm and serum-specific IgE was less than 3.5 kU/L, an oral challenge was performed resulting in three positive and seven negative challenges. A combination of history, SPT and serum-specific IgE was adequate in achieving a diagnosis in the majority (77%) patients with suspected Brazil nut allergy. However, a doubtful history with SPT between 1 and 5 mm, or a serum-specific IgE less than 3.5 kU/L may require an oral challenge to help determine the risk of a Brazil nut allergic reaction.
Article: The effects of a double blind, placebo controlled, artificial food colourings and benzoate preservative challenge on hyperactivity in a general population sample of preschool children. Archives of Disease in Childhood, 89, 506-511[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine whether artificial food colourings and a preservative in the diet of 3 year old children in the general population influence hyperactive behaviour. A sample of 1873 children were screened in their fourth year for the presence of hyperactivity at baseline (HA), of whom 1246 had skin prick tests to identify atopy (AT). Children were selected to form the following groups: HA/AT, not-HA/AT, HA/not-AT, and not-HA/not-AT (n = 277). After baseline assessment, children were subjected to a diet eliminating artificial colourings and benzoate preservatives for one week; in the subsequent three week within subject double blind crossover study they received, in random order, periods of dietary challenge with a drink containing artificial colourings (20 mg daily) and sodium benzoate (45 mg daily) (active period), or a placebo mixture, supplementary to their diet. Behaviour was assessed by a tester blind to dietary status and by parents' ratings. There were significant reductions in hyperactive behaviour during the withdrawal phase. Furthermore, there were significantly greater increases in hyperactive behaviour during the active than the placebo period based on parental reports. These effects were not influenced by the presence or absence of hyperactivity, nor by the presence or absence of atopy. There were no significant differences detected based on objective testing in the clinic. There is a general adverse effect of artificial food colouring and benzoate preservatives on the behaviour of 3 year old children which is detectable by parents but not by a simple clinic assessment. Subgroups are not made more vulnerable to this effect by their prior levels of hyperactivity or by atopy.
Article: Factors Associated With Avoidance of Peanuts and/or Other Nuts During Pregnancy and Lactation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: RationaleThe UK Department of Health advises that pregnant women who are atopic, or for whom the father or sibling of their unborn child has an atopic disease may wish to avoid eating peanuts during pregnancy lactation. We investigated whether peanut avoidance in pregnancy is associated with a family history of atopy and other factors.
Article: Characteristics of infants born from atopic vs. non-atopic mothers during the first 6 months of the infants life[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: RationaleInfants born to families with a history of atopy are more at risk of developing allergic diseases than those born to non-atopic families. Genetic influences, particularly maternal factors play a key role. We have investigated whether infants born to atopic and non-atopic mothers differ in terms of weaning, feeding and immunization practices, family pet ownership and exposure to smoking.

ABSTRACT: In all, 1872 children were recruited as part of a larger study concerning food additives and behaviours in preschool children. This figure represented 70% of the whole population of 3 1/4 -year-old children resident on the Isle of Wight, UK. Parents completed an assessment concerning their perceptions of their child's behaviour. The results of this assessment were compared with scores on two validated parental questionnaires, the Weiss Werry Peters (WWP) hyperactivity scale and the Emotionality, Activity and Sociability Temperament Questionnaire (EAS), which were used to assess hyperactivity. The accuracy of parents in perceiving hyperactivity in their children was found to be around 50% if the child was hyperactive, and 89% if the child was not hyperactive. The implications of these findings for services are discussed. Frequencies of potential risk groups for future Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Conduct Disorder were also suggested.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: One hundred twenty children, identified before birth as being at high risk for atopy, were prenatally assigned to prophylactic or control groups. The infants in the prophylactic group either received breast milk from mothers on an exclusion diet or an extensively hydrolyzed formula. Their bedrooms and living rooms were treated repeatedly with an acaricide, and they used polyvinyl-covered mattresses with vented head areas. The infants in the control group were fed conventionally, and no environmental control was recommended. A significant advantage, first demonstrated at 1 year of age, persists for children in the prophylactic group. They have less of any allergy or eczema, but the reduced prevalence of asthma is no longer significant. Only three children in the prophylactic group had positive skin prick test results compared with 16 in the control group, suggesting a significant reduction in sensitization. A dual approach to allergen avoidance, focusing on foods and aeroallergens, appears to be beneficial in selected high-risk infants. Avoidance of potent allergens in early life increases the threshold for sensitization in these high-risk infants. Whether sensitization has been avoided or merely deferred has yet to be proved.

ABSTRACT: There is much evidence that the development of allergic disorders may be related to early exposure of allergens, including those in breastmilk. We have tried to find out whether avoidance of food and inhaled allergens in infancy protects against the development of allergic disorders in high-risk infants. In a prenatally randomised, controlled study 120 infants with family history of atopy and high (greater than 0.5 kU/l) cord-blood concentrations of total IgE were allocated randomly to prophylactic and control groups. In the prophylactic group (n = 58), lactating mothers avoided allergenic foods (milk, egg, fish, and nuts) and avoided feeding their infants these foods and soya, wheat, and orange up to the age of 12 months; the infants' bedrooms and living rooms were treated with an acaricidal powder and foam every 3 months, and concentrations of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus antigen(Der p l) in dust samples were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In the control group (n = 62), the diet of mothers and infants was unrestricted; no acaricidal treatment was done and Der p l concentrations were measured at birth and at 9 months. A paediatric allergy specialist unaware of group assignment examined the infants for allergic disorders at 10-12 months. Odds ratios were calculated by logistic regression analysis for various factors with control for other confounding variables. At 12 months, allergic disorders had developed in 25 (40%) control infants and in 8 (13%) of the prophylactic group (odds ratio 6.34, 95% confidence intervals 2.0-20.1). The prevalences at 12 months of asthma (4.13, 1.1-15.5) and eczema (3.6, 1.0-12.5) were also significantly greater in the control group. Parental smoking was a significant risk factor for total allergy at 12 months whether only one parent smoked (3.97, 1.2-13.6) or both parents smoked (4.72, 1.2-18.2).

SM Entertainment is setting their sights on the big picture as they embark on the road to become a major music company such as Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Entertainment.
Just as the three mentioned labels are major global music companies that manage various sub labels, SM will also set out to become a representative music group in Asia.
They've already kicked off the process as SM C&C has announced a merger with Woollim Entertainment to create an independent 'Woollim Label', whose music will differ from SM Entertainment's sounds with their own color of music and an eclectic lineup of artists. With its connection to SM Entertainment, SM C&C, and other global subsidiaries, a synergy effect is expected.
In addition, with SM Entertainment's global influence and network, artists now under Woollim Label like INFINITE, NELL, and TASTY will benefit, and their increased global recognition will also raise SM group's total sales and profits.
Regarding 'Woollim Label', SM Entertainment stated, "SM Entertainment will run its global music distribution and additional businesses while SM C&C will take charge of the label's functions. In terms of business structure and scale, we will acquire international competitiveness and will stand as Asia's premier music group which can compete with global major music groups. We will take our place as the first global major music group in Korea."

Ok ... I'm a little bit worried about this ... about INFINITE I want them to keep their own style This also goes for NELL and TASTY !! I don't want SM to force them to do things and be a copy of other SM groups I really don't want that bc That's what I like about them !! other than that I know that They will get bigger but When it's a big company like SM ... I just want INFINITE to be happy seriously and won't be forced to do anything not in their style but if it's a big company I feel like they won't be as happy !! But in the end I trust their CEO so I pray everything will be good ^_^

i hope Infinite will still Infinite.

Accept the reality and go back to your lives. Money makes the world go round and Sm has money. Wooliment is not stupid and tjey know what they are doing. If you havr any rebattals comment below let's get this over with
cantairis· Posted August 12, 2013 @ 4:19 pm
What the....I've been imagining how it would be like if SM & Woollim work together ._. LOL no offense it's for my unfinished fanfic >.> BUT never did I think they would really merge together like..... what?
Though, I shall keep these words, "always keep the faith" . INFINITE ask Inspirits to trust them and their CEO so yeah, let's trust their boss' decision. We're gonna pray for the best. Look at the brighter side. Hehe (though deep down my heart I know I'm worried)
infinityyyy· Posted August 12, 2013 @ 6:39 am
im sorry woollim..im just too shocked and sad with the recent news. to woollim ceo,i know mayb u hav reasons,but i just cnt accept it,mayb bcause ive always hated sm..im just too sad and down after the news,i thought u guys wud grew larger and give a good competition to sm,but i kinda felt betrayed when u guys dcided to merge w/ sm c&c..how cn our boys grow lrger than sm artists when sm is in the upper hand..? though mayb its said that woollim label wud be independant but still d big boss is sm.
i love the boys,since their debut seriously,but this merging news just broke my heart..into pieces..very tiny pieces..suddenly today im very gloomy and depressed because of this.. how cn i be in ease when they are now with a company that made my jyj boys suffer so much.. and to think that myungsoo is such a jaejoong fanboy..T__T
sungyeol is SM ex-trainee...
im just waiting for my otps to have more moments :D
i wonder if they'll join smtown .....
first of all, i'm an SM stan and an Inspirit but tbh i don't like this merging thing. The first thing that entered my mind when I saw this article is "HOW ABOUT INFINITE? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THEM NOW?" I think it's all about money now because we all know SM. and in this part "In addition, with SM Entertainment's global influence and network, artists now under Woollim Label like INFINITE, NELL, and TASTY will benefit, and their increased global recognition will also raise SM group's total sales and profits" Whatever Infinite, Nel and Tasty do will surely benefit SM. Why don't you just leave the Woollim groups as is? SM, mind your artists especially f(x).

Wetlands improve water quality. As water moves into a wetland, the flow rate decreases, allowing particles to settle out. The many plant surfaces act as filters, absorbing solids and adding oxygen to the water. Growing plants remove nutrients and play a cleansing role that protects the downstream environments.
Wetlands can aslo reduce the impacts of flooding, as they can absorb heavy rain and release water gradually. Downstream water flows and ground water levels are also maintained during periods of low rainfall. Wetlands help stabilise shorelines and riverbanks.
Many wetland plants have specific environmental needs and are extremely vulnerable to change. Some of our endangered plant species depend totally on wetlands. Wetlands support great concentrations of bird life and far more species than a similar forest area.

Pekapeka wetland in Hawke's Bay is wonderful restored with a number of walking trails
Wetlands were a treasure trove for early Maori, providing flax for clothing, mats, kits and ropes, raupo for thatching and dried moss for bedding.
The eels, fish and birds which lived there were a good food source and the feathers of birds like pukeko and bittern were used to adorn cloaks and other garments. Waterways were an important means of access by waka (canoe).
The international significance of wetlands is reflected in the Convention on Wetlands (the Ramsar Convention).
The Ramsar Convention launched an international report in 2013, The Economics of Ecosystem and Biodiversity for Water and Wetlands (PDF, 2,070K).
The report states the need for a major shift in our attitudes towards wetlands. We need to recognise their value in delivering water, raw materials and food. They are essential both for life and the sustainability of the world's economies.
Wetlands offer many recreation opportunities including boating, fishing, swimming, bird watching, whitebaiting and hunting.
Wetlands support a wide diversity of species, in large numbers. Their popularity is proven by ample visitor numbers at places like Sinclair Wetland near Dunedin, and the Miranda Shorebird Centre at the Firth of Thames. Arawai Kakariki sites (Awarua, O Tu Wharekai and Whangamarino) also attract lots of visitors.
There are also many interesting education opportunities, and we have produced a number of education kits and resources on wetlands.
In this video ranger Lorraine Cook takes her shoes and socks off to tell us about the benefits of wetland plants.
The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands is an intergovernmental treaty for the conservation and wise use of wetlands.

Why cant the city set standards for front yards?
People can put whatever they want on their property and unless they are causing problems that spill over to yours thats just too bad for you because they own it and therefore can do what they want with it. Go cry to mommy if you don't like it.
Do you want to see wrecked cars sitting in peoples front yards
forever? How about people building 5 story houses in a neighborhood of two story houses,etc.
Gardens do belong in the back yard.
Haha, good one. The city should allow her to do what she wants with her own property. Oh, aren't they being generous.
The city should allow her to have it this year if she moves it to the back next year.
Now my city has just banned smoking outside on ones private patio if two people complain,
if it is part of condo complex. That is without any basis in science as far as harm to others. It is
simply targeting smokers. So they should not have done that. Yes city governments are becoming fascists but not everything they do is wrong.

In one of the few times that Corrina Belz's documentary Gerhard Richter Painting breaks its present-tense, fly-on-the-wall approach to its titular subject, an archival black-and-white interview of a much younger Richter is shown.

Polarity » "Severus, we are reflections of each other. We are marked, broken and wicked. We were hated by our fathers. We are responsible for the death of our first and greatest loves. We were isolated, protecting children we resent. We are misunderstood, bitter, and destined to die alone in a world where no good deed goes unpunished. But perhaps, together, we can make a different future."

Advance Nanotech Announces Closing of Private Placement for Its Homeland Security Subsidiary Owlstone Nanotech, Inc.
"We are delighted to have closed this offering and we plan to use the proceeds for the ongoing development and testing of the Owlstone Sensor in Homeland Security applications, both here in the United States and in the United Kingdom," said Bret Bader, CEO of Owlstone Nanotech.
"We are delighted to have closed this offering and we plan to use the proceeds for the ongoing development and testing of the Owlstone Sensor in Homeland Security applications, both here in the United States and in the United Kingdom"
Following the closing of this placement, Advance Nanotech will retain a majority ownership stake in Owlstone, with an option to convert its outstanding debt of $3,000,000 into additional shares of common stock.
"We are very pleased to have closed the initial round of this offering," said Magnus Gittins, chairman and CEO of Advance Nanotech. "We made our initial investment into Owlstone in May 2004 and in this short period of time the company has successfully matured from the University laboratory to its first product launch earlier this year. Owlstone now has sufficient resources of its own to accomplish its next milestones. Owlstone's success is a testament to our business model of working with our academic partners to identify and then subsequently support the building of nanotechnology businesses, expeditiously and cost-effectively."
Owlstone Nanotech uses leading-edge micro- and nano-fabrication techniques to create a chemical detection system one hundred times smaller and a thousand times cheaper than existing technology. Owlstone plans to partner with market leaders to integrate its technology into a wide range of commercial applications to allow the efficient and accurate detection of various chemical agents including contaminants, chemical warfare agents and potentially harmful gases. This revolutionary technology will help to redefine chemical detection systems, opening the door to new and innovative products across a wide-range of industries.
Owlstone Nanotech is the leading subsidiary within the Advance Nanotech Homeland Security Division. Following the announcement on August 14, 2006, Advance Nanotech's new Homeland Security Division includes thirteen related nanotechnologies providing solutions across two application areas: CBRNE Detection (Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear and Explosive), and Wireless Monitoring for cognitive awareness, triage and first response therapy. According to Fredonia, the market opportunity for chemical sensing in the United States alone is worth $5.4 billion. The division launched its first product earlier this year and has a customer base across the defense and industrial process control industries.
About Owlstone Nanotech, Inc.
Owlstone Nanotech is a pioneer in the commercialization of nanotechnology-based chemical detection products. Its initial commercial product is a revolutionary microchip spectrometer that can be programmed to detect a wide range of chemical agents that may be present in extremely small quantities. There are numerous applications -- across industries from security and defense to automotive and healthcare -- that depend on the rapid, accurate detection and measurement of chemical compounds. Owlstone works with market leaders within these applications to integrate the detector into next generation chemical sensing products and solutions. Owlstone's technology offers a unique combination of benefits, including small size, low manufacturing costs, minimal power consumption, reduced false-positives, and a customizable platform. For more information on Owlstone Nanotech, please visit www.owlstonenanotech.com.
About Advance Nanotech, Inc.
Advance Nanotech commercializes nanotechnology products across a range of industries including homeland security, display technology and medical devices.
We identify patented, patent-pending and proprietary technologies at leading universities and fund the additional development of such technologies in exchange for the exclusive rights to commercialize any resulting products. By partnering with universities and leveraging the infrastructure and multi-disciplinary human resources of our university partners, we reduce our cost base and mitigate risk.
After prototypes are proven within the lab and we develop a product roadmap and business plan, we form majority owned subsidiaries around the specific technology. We seek to return value to our shareholders through the sale or licensing of the technology, by securing additional financing for the subsidiary from the capital markets, or by successfully executing our business plan and consolidating its income as the majority shareholder.

CCS stands for Collapsed Cell Structure. CCS Technology is Lake Country's innovative pad design that saves product by controlling product release onto the work surface. Dozens of dimples in the foam collect excess polish and reserve it until it is needed on the pad's face (the area that is in contact with the paint). This design prolongs your working time and reduces product waste.
Slows rate of polish absorption – As discussed above, the pads are slow to absorb products and therefore the paint benefits from a longer working time. The same is true of liquid waxes and sealants.
Improves operator control – CCS pockets gradually release polish as needed by the operator. Since these areas are not absorbing polish, they serve as little reservoirs until the excess polish is needed.
Prevents pad skipping – CCS pockets reduce surface tension allowing the operator to run pad flat on a working surface. Basically, the CCS pockets break up the smooth surface of the foam to eliminate the sticking and skipping that occurs when two perfectly flat surfaces meet.
Creates less heat – CCS pockets provide several points where the foam is not completely touching the paint. This reduces friction and therefore heat generated between the pad and the paint.
OEM approved - OEM tests confirm CCS pads out-perform convoluted pad designs.
The CCS 5.5 inch Foam Pads are a perfect fit on dual action polishers and orbital air sanders with a 5 inch backing plate.

5D Mk III weird shutter release
Jul 12, 2012
I have the following problem. When the camera is woke up from stand-by mode by half-pressing the shutter button, the focus point is activated, camera focuses, but pressing the shutter button full-way, the shutter doesn't release. It releases sometime after third, fourth, fifth shutter button press. Then it works normally. Do the other 5D Mk III behave the same way or my camera is deffect? The actual firmware is 1.1.2.
BTW pressing menu button in stand-by mode takes approx. 10 s to be displayed. Don't know if it's normal, but seems to me to be too long.

Twin Cities: Less gay than last year, but still pretty gay
Last year, The Advocate got us all hot and bothered by heralding Minneapolis the Gayest City in America.
We've apparently straightened up our act a little bit in the last year, as The Advocate's 2012 rankings has the Twin Cities slipping all the way to 7th.
Here is the equation used by The Advocate to determine the ranks:
Unfortunately, it appears the Twin Cities is sorely lacking in concerts by Gossip, the Clicks, and the Veronicas -- though it should be noted the The Advocate's equation only accounts for WNBA teams, not championship-winning WNBA teams. That addendum could've been enough to push us past fifth-place Seattle.
The number one city? Grab your nearest Mormon, because shockingly, this year it's Salt Lake City of all places. Here's what The Advocate says in support of SLC's surprising ascendancy to the top of the charts:
While those unfamiliar with the Beehive State are likely to conjure images of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, far-less-oppressive-than-it-used-to-be Salt Lake City has earned its queer cred. There are more than a half-dozen hot spots for men and women, including the eco-friendly nightclub Jam (JamSLC.com), though the sustainable bamboo flooring is perhaps less of a draw than the packed dance floor. The Coffee Garden (878 South 900 East) is a gathering spot for those looking for a caffeine fix, the Sundance Film Festival brings LGBT film buffs to screenings downtown, and lesbian-owned Meditrina (MeditrinaSLC.com) is a true wine bar -- yes, you can get a drink in this town.
Of course, recent census numbers indicate Minnesota is gayer than ever, but The Advocate's ranks puts more stock in the availability of nude yoga classes than it does number of gay couples in the area.
In any event, falling in the ranks does have its perks. Remember the hilarious Daily Show bit that spoofed The Advocate's ranks by contrasting the "old gay" of San Fran with the "new gay" of Minneapolis? Imagine the possibilities of a skit like that set in Salt Lake City. There's enough material there to make even Mitt Romney's hair stand on end.
Here are the complete ranks:
15. Denver
14. Long Beach
13. Austin
12. Portland
11. Little Rock
10. Grand Rapids, Michigan
9. Atlanta
8. Knoxville
7. St. Paul and Minneapolis
6. Ann Arbor (who knew Michigan was so gay?)
5. Seattle
4. Fort Lauderdale
3. Cambridge, Massachusetts
2. Orlando
1. Salt Lake City

I was also wondering about using retina display for Web and Software Development, as well as Graphic Design and Photography. I saw on a forum that some Web Designers are getting a tad frusterated with it, and wondered about the specifics.

A day after Indian prisoner Sarabjit Singh died of his injuries after being assaulted in a Lahore jail, a Pakistani prisoner in Jammu's Kot Bhalwal jail was seriously injured Friday following an attack with bricks and a shovel by another inmate.
The 52-year-old Pakistani, Sanaullah Ranjay, was flown to PGI Chandigarh for treatment within hours of the attack. Doctors said his condition was critical as he had suffered serious head injuries and also had multiple fractures. Although the motive behind the assault was not clear, it is being seen as a response to Sarabjit's death.
New Delhi expressed its regret at the incident while Islamabad demanded that Sanaullah be sent back to Pakistan for treatment just as India had asked for Sarabjit's return.
External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said the attack was "extremely distressing" and rubbished the talk about retaliation and conspiracy. "Injuries caused to a person in incarceration is unacceptable and sad. Therefore we are cooperating with Pakistan," Khurshid told reporters accompanying him on a three-day visit to Iran. "The talks of retaliation, conspiracy, intent to kill can continue indefinitely if we continue on this path."
Expressing his deep concern, Pakistan's caretaker Prime Minister Justice (retd) Mir Hazar Khan Khoso urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to look into "this grave issue personally" and ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted into the incident and the perpetrators brought to justice.
"To the family of Sanaullah, I assure that the Government of Pakistan is seeking the best medical treatment for him. We have asked the Indian authorities to accord consular access to our high commission in New Delhi to visit Sanaullah. We have also called for his evacuation to Pakistan on medical and humanitarian grounds," he said in a statement.
"It is our expectation that the Indian government would ensure the safety of all Pakistani prisoners in Indian jails and also facilitate expeditious release of all those Pakistani prisoners who have completed their jail terms," Khoso said.

At my 10 wk appt, my doc gave me my second ultrasound. Baby looked so cute with little arms and legs, but she kept focusing in on his little belly. Turns out there is a questionable abdominal mass there. I'm so sad and I go for a follow-up u/s tomorrow. She said it could be his intestines growing outside of his body or just the cord in a strange position. I feel like I might have the first post like this and it sucks. Big time.Ā
11/29! Everything looks great with my baby! Thank you all for your positive thoughts! They worked!

2015 Events
Alumni Weekend July 17-19th, 2015
Please join us July 17th through the 19th for the annual Babcock Hovey Alumni Association Weekend. This is free to any paid member of the Alumni and their families. You can come spend the weekend at camp for free and not have to do any cheerful service in return. Come for the whole weekend or just for the day on Saturday. If you want to stay the weekend just let Matt Crance know which site or facility you would like to use. The alumni association will be providing a BBQ lunch, but not down at the lake front, all other food that weekend will need to be provided by yourself. On Saturday we will be holding a meeting after lunch to elect new officers and discuss upcoming projects. This meeting is worth attending, you can add your input on how to help camp in the future. Some members are discussing going to Bonavista Golf course during the morning. If you are interested in the golf outing please contact Jay Laitenberger. If you are like me and terrible at golf there are plenty of other things to do at camp. We have geocaching, orienteering, fishing, bouldering wall, and miles of trails around camp for exploring. At lunch we will come back together to enjoy a BBQ and hopefully no rain. In the afternoon the pool will be open to help cool us from the hot summer sun. There are no official dinner plans but there is a kitchen available if you need to cook food or a few places in Ovid to order from. In the evening hours there will be a campfire for us to gather round to share stories and songs. This will be a good time for you and your family and we look forward to sharing this time with you.

Wendy: I agree with you. I will not listen to wicc anymore. Come to think of it. I don't listen to it any way. Best of Luck to JLP.
#3 Dec 14, 2007
I am appalled that WICC has fired the best radio host they had. I can think of 2 other hosts that deserve to be fired from WICC, not John. I will no longer tune into WICC either. I will miss JLB & Tim in the morning. I now will listen to 92.5.
#4 Dec 14, 2007
I agree, WICC has made a "huge" mistake. This was one radio show you could listen to and take something away from it. The Sunday show was a huge hit in our house "John made you feel like family". John was the "heart and soul" and will truly be missed. I wish the best of luck to John and his family members, Jack, Shannon, Elizabeth will be there to support him 110% in his future. Remember "when one door closes another one opens", God Bless you John.

helen now you can foucus on the rice fields and the sound of a ricshaw
#9 Dec 15, 2007
Tony Reno is a nice guy, and I'm happy for him. But LaBarca deserved better. However, I'm not surprised because WICC has a long history of axing its personalities. The late Walt Devanis usually predicted the weather much better than his TV counterparts; the loss of Morgan Kaolian left a hole which is still not filled. Personally, I stopped listening to the station some years ago; I think years of the rash personnel canning acts by the station has alienated thousands like me. Too bad: it used to be a good station.
#10 Dec 15, 2007
I hope when you write to the FCC, you get a dictionary or use spell check. Better yet, have someone who speaks coherently write it for you.
#11 Dec 15, 2007
Better take a geography course too!
#13 Dec 15, 2007
I wish JLB well but it's about time WICC got someone on in the morning that will spend a minute or two preparing for the show. JLB's idea of a show was patting himself on the back for working the controls and miscelaneous inane comments. PREPARE something; don't rely on talking about how much weight you lost; or having captive listeners because there's no other place to get school delay information. Congratulations WICC, a change is overdue. JLB, good luck.
#15 Dec 15, 2007
WICC is really heartless and I for one, will miss him terribly. When I listened yesterday and he was not on, I thought he was sick or just had a day off. Everything is always about money, and no one really cares what people want or like. WICC you really stink!
#16 Dec 15, 2007
I absolutely agree with you Oliver. Iy was way over due to get rid of JLB. Now get rid Bill the weather man and the station will be greatly improved. I just want to know why they didn't move Brian Smith to the am show.
#17 Dec 15, 2007
My wife and I couldn't believe it when we heard it.We will truly miss him esp.THE ITALIAN HOUSE PARTY,IT REALLY TOUCHED HOME and brought back so many memories of a kinder and gentle time.Best of luck JLB and Merry Christmas Sundays will never be the same until you are on again.
#18 Dec 15, 2007
I think the firing of John LaBarca is just horrible. I listen to WICC every morning driving to Meriden from Stratford. He is a very kind individual, was very informative and an icon of WICC. Big mistake, huge.
#19 Dec 15, 2007
Maybe it was time and the right decision, not for me to decide but man does anyone have a heart anymore, timing people, timing is everything. Couldn't you have waited a week and a half?
#21 Dec 15, 2007
That show was terrible.
#24 Dec 15, 2007
WICC is a joke !!!
John, this is the best thing that can happen to you. Their lost is now your gain... Take advantage of it !! Go back to your roots in NYC and land a gig there. Your certainly have the talent to do so. "Your hometown station" has let you down. BTW, WICC, why don't you mention something,anything about the Soundtigers... Don't even mention the score of their games played, no less broadcast their games.
John, All the best... you will be missed.

I was so happy when Wicc went live online as I was able to listen to John and the Italian House Party. I will never listen to Wicc again. I wanted to buy a cd with the song I have an angel in heaven but now can't. John made wicc he will be missed. John come to Florida I am sure you can find a radio station here that would love to get you.Good luck John and keep your head up, god will help you.
