The next time you consider establishing an illegal marijuana grow operation, there are a few crucial technical elements you must first consider in order to avoid watching the fruits of your labors go up in a cloud of felonious smoke: a heavy-duty power cord should probably be at the top of the list.
Just ask 45-year-old Antonio Dow, who was arrested over the weekend after the shoddy extension cord he used to light his 40 cannabis plants overloaded and turned the apartment he kept behind Barclays Center into a raging Brooklyn bong fire.
Of course, by the time police and firefighters arrived on the scene, the neighborhood in between Dean Street and Pacific Avenue was getting high on Dow's misery. Captain Peter Rose with the 77th Precinct told reporters that the blaze of glorious ganja produced such an intense community hotbox because all of the pot plants were the size of "small shrubs."
Firefighters were reportedly able to contain and extinguish the fire in about 20 minutes, and fortunately, for everyone involved, there were no injuries.
A police report indicates that upon investigating the apartment, officers discovered a collection of various bullets, but there was no gun to be found. Interestingly, while Dow was arrested for several criminal offenses, including manufacturing marijuana, he almost had a fighting chance of getting the charges dismissed since his entire inventory technically no longer exists. However, officers also located a marijuana garden in Dow's backyard, which is one of the reasons why he is currently being held at a local jail on a $10,000 bond.
The moral of the story: Check your power cords, kids!

Nestlé Purina PetCare (NPP) is voluntarily recalling one specific lot of its Purina Veterinary Diets® OM Overweight Management canned cat food, available through veterinarians in the U.S. and Canada. This precautionary measure is being taken in response to one consumer complaint received by FDA. Analytical testing of the product sample by FDA indicated a low level of thiamine (Vitamin B1). Purina has received no other complaints of thiamine-related or any other health issues related to this product.
Only cans with the following "Best By" date and production code shown are included in this voluntary recall:
|Product Name
|"Best By" Date &
Production Code*

(Overweight Management) Feline Formula
|5.5 oz.
|38100 - 13810
*"Best By" Date and Production Code are found on the bottom of the can.
Cats fed this affected lot exclusively for several weeks may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is essential for cats. Symptoms of deficiency displayed by an affected cat can be gastrointestinal or neurological in nature. Early signs of thiamine deficiency may include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting and weight loss. In advanced cases, neurological signs can develop, which may include ventriflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, falling, circling and seizures. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your cat is displaying any of these signs. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency is typically reversible.
This product was distributed to veterinary clinics between June 2011 and May 2012 throughout the U.S. and Canada. The product is not sold in retail stores.
No additional Purina cat or dog products are involved in this voluntary recall. No other Purina Veterinary Diets® products are involved, and only Purina Veterinary Diets® OM canned cat food which match the "Best By" dates and production code above are included in this recall.

Internet Marketing Manager
Digital marketing has become so widely appreciated these days that everybody feels they should be doing something. Sure, everybody's heard of terms like SEO and PPC but what do they really mean and how do they affect my business?
However the skills necessary to plan, manage and execute digital campaigns can often be beyond the in-house capabilities of small and medium-sized businesses.
LS Digital Media can work as your outsourced Internet Marketing Manager. A role that would be too costly to fill with a full-time employee and yet a position that you can barely afford to be without if you are serious about internet marketing. Our goal is always the same. We work with our clients to create results driven strategies that not only pay for themselves, but do so efficiently and effectively – in as timely a manner as possible. For us the ROI and the success of a digital campaign are inseparable. And delivery is everything.

A few days ago I was walking out to my car after work, well after school had let out, and found the twin sister of the girl who had been in mom's weed cookies sitting on the bench. She looked a tad forlorn, so I sat down with her and asked her what she was doing. As it turned out, she had been kicked out Kid's Corner (the after school program at school) for a few days. That did not blow me away nearly as much as what came out of her mouth next: "I'm waiting for my mom." I tried to contain my startled reaction and called Rietta to get the scoop.
After the weed cookie debacle, there was a court hearing and many social worker visits. In the end, CPS decided to not remove them. Apparently it takes more than letting your children get into your drugs to do that. Regarding Kid's Corner, she had been suspended for a week because she bit another child in the belly button region because he wouldn't play her game the way she wanted him. The Kid's Corner employee I spoke with says she's been increasingly acting out for months now, does anyone else think this perhaps have to do with her home situation? Hmm...
This is not meant to be libel against CPS. Every CPS employee I've encountered has been kind, and as helpful as possible, at least toward me. It's not their fault money is short and complaints long, and I understand they cannot possibly have adequate resources to do everything we would like them to do. That said, it was terribly disheartening to find that the twin girls - 8 years old - and their toddler sister - are still stuck at home with that mother of theirs. And if letting your drugs get into the hands of your kids too small enough to metabolize them is not enough to get a kid removed from their home, I don't know what is. (Thank goodness this was "just" marijuana that the girl experienced - what if it was cocaine, or something worse?)
All in all, it was an incredibly disappointing conversation on the bench.

And as I've said previously, the pendulum has swung towards parents' rights as far as CPS is concerned.
Stuff like this is why I couldn't do Peds. I'd always be wanting to slap parent upside the head.ReplyDelete

Former fire chief to head Civil Defense
HILO — Former Fire Chief Darryl Oliveira is taking over as the administrator of the county Department of Civil Defense.
Oliveira, 51, who retired in August 2011 after nine years as fire chief, replaces Ben Fuata, a 22-year military veteran who was just hired for the post last April.
"We feel very fortunate that someone of Darryl's caliber and experience will fill that pivotal role," Mayor Billy Kenoi said Monday.
It's one of several shifts Kenoi has made in his cabinet as he begins his second term. Last month, Parks and Recreation Director Bob Fitzgerald was demoted to deputy director, and former Deputy Director Clay Honma was promoted to director. Kenoi is also seeking new directors for the Department of Environmental Management, Mass Transit Agency and Department of Research and Development.
Research and Development, a department charged with economic development and tourism, lost its director when Kenoi named Randy Kurohara as deputy managing director under newly appointed Managing Director Wally Lau. Lau is scheduled for a confirmation vote by the County Council on Wednesday.
"We hope to have that in place shortly," Kenoi said of Research and Development, a department for which he has been conducting candidate interviews.
Kenoi said Monday that Planning Director Bobby Jean Leithead Todd will stay on, joining previously announced department heads in Finance and Public Works. Corporation Counsel Lincoln Ashida is also staying on, following an unsuccessful bid for county prosecutor.
Kenoi said Fuata submitted his resignation because the demands of the 24/7 job were having a negative impact on his health and family life.
"We wish Ben Fuata the very best and thank him for his service," Kenoi said.
Fuata drew heat after the Oct. 27 tsunami scare, when the department sent out a message saying there was no tsunami threat, despite conflicting messages from other agencies. Malfunctions with sirens and automatic message alert systems compounded the problem.
Oliveira said Kenoi contacted him about the job Friday. He starts Wednesday, he said.
"I'd told him anytime he needed help, to give me a call," Oliveira said. "Having worked there in the Emergency Operations Center during past emergencies, I am familiar with the operations."

What is our nature? What is this enigma that we call human? Who are we? Since the dawn of human history, people have exhibited wildly contradictory qualities: good and evil, love and hate, strength and weakness, kindness and cruelty, aggressiveness and pacifism, generosity and greed, courageand cowardice. Experiencing a sense of eternity in our hearts--but at the same time confined to temporal and spatial constraints--we seek to understand ourselves, both individually and as a species. In Who Are We? Theories of Human Nature, esteemed author Louis P. Pojman seeks to find answers to these questions by exploring major theories in Western philosophy and religion, along with several traditions in Eastern thought. The most comprehensive work of its kind, the volume opens withchapters on the Hebrew/Christian view of human nature and the contrasting classical Greek theories, outlining a dichotomy between faith and reason that loosely frames the rest of the book. The following chapters cover the medieval view, Hindu and Buddhist perspectives, conservative and liberaltheories, Kant's Copernican revolution, Schopenhauer's pessimistic idealism, and Karl Marx's theory. Freud's psychoanalytic view, the existentialist perspective, the Darwinian view, and scientific materialism are also discussed. Pojman concludes with a discussion of the question of free will,ultimately asserting that each one of us must decide for ourselves who and what we are, and, based on that answer, how we shall live.

A research communication authored by Dr. Isaac Samuel (right) and others published in the Pancreatology journal in October 2010, that describes a novel pancreatitis experimental model, was featured as the cover story in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Summer 2011 Digestive Diseases News. Dr. Samuel, Associate Professor of Surgery, and his team developed and characterized this novel mouse model and showed several similarities with severe human gallstone pancreatitis, making this model stand out against existing models.
No specific treatment exists for acute pancreatitis as the pathogenesis is poorly understood. Since investigating the early stages of the disease in humans is impossible, the NIH has emphasized a special need for such models of acute pancreatitis. Dr. Samuel states, "To find a drug, you need a target. And to find a target, you need a model." Using this model, his federally funded basic science laboratory has already made some important discoveries regarding the potential role of stress-activated pathways in the development of early stage pancreatic inflammation.

Stress-Testing Risk Tolerance
How much volatility can your clients take before they unload their stocks and blame you for the loss? Today's markets are testing their risk tolerance — and your skill at assessing it in advance and investing appropriately.
When reading new clients, advisers have long tended to rely on horse sense over science. But this view seems to be giving way, slowly, to more objective measurements, according to Geoff Davey, founder of Sydney-based FinaMetrica, which sells a formal psychometric test.
Davey said business in the U.S. has picked up since the financial crisis of 2008. Overall, however, U.S. advisers have been slower to adopt objective measures of risk tolerance than their counterparts in the U.K.
Although U.S. federal, state and brokerage-industry watchdogs all mandate that advisers document each investor's risk tolerance, no regulator says how it must be measured.
Putting a client through a formal test can be a pivotal moment in your relationship, leading to important conversations, said Marty Kurtz, president of the Planning Center, in Moline, Ill., which manages $215 million. The Planning Center has been using risk-tolerance testing and analysis from FinaMetrica for the past 10 years.
To date, 13-year-old FinaMetrica has run about 450,000 risk-tolerance profiles.
Davey said his 25-question form — available to individual advisers for $890 a year — gives an unusually pure view of a client's tolerance for risk.
Most questionnaires confuse the concept of risk tolerance with "risk perception" and "risk capacity," Davey said. As he explained it, "risk perception" is a client's sense of how risky an investment is, and "risk capacity" is how much risk a client ought to bear given circumstances such as age, wealth and personal goals.
"Risk tolerance," meanwhile, is how risk feels to the client over time.
The confusion can make for unhappy clients, according to John Grable, a professor of business at Kansas State University and a pioneer in assessing risk tolerance. "Someone may have the capacity for a particular portfolio, but not the tolerance," he said.
You might be sure that a client should hold at least 60% of his portfolio in stocks (his "risk capacity") but if he thinks all stocks are "extremely risky" (his "risk perception") and his "risk tolerance" is low, you might ratchet down the stock allocation to 50%.
Some advisers still prefer to "read" clients' risk tolerance without help from tests and charts. "I don't think people know themselves well enough to make questionnaires valuable," said Laura Tarbox of the Tarbox Group, a wealth-management firm in Newport Beach, Calif., that manages about $300 million. "It's as valid a measure to look at someone's profession to get a sense of risk tolerance: a business owner is going to want to be fairly aggressive; an engineer less so — and business owners probably shouldn't be taking on more portfolio risk because they take risks all the time."
So instead of questionnaires, Tarbox Group advisers rely on interviews and experience to figure out what sort of portfolio a client should own.
Grable, who was an adviser before he was an academic, said a gut sense of a client's risk tolerance is useful, but not as much so as a well-worded and properly analyzed questionnaire.
Grable said he believed his clients "when I asked how they'd feel if the market fell 20% in six months and they'd say they'd buy," says Grable. "Now as a researcher I know a more truthful answer would be 'I would panic and I would sell and I would blame you.'"
Thomas Coyle is a special writer with Dow Jones Newswires who covers the wealth-management industry.

College Hockey:Chubak stops 31 to lead Niagara over Mercyhurst
LEWISTON, N.Y. — Dave Burkholder sat behind the desk in his office late Friday evening with a grin as wide as a country mile. His office was crowded with family and friends. A party atmosphere — for sure — was prevalent. It was loud in there.
Why not? Burkholder sweated a little late in the game, but by and large enjoyed the proceedings in Niagara's 4-2 victory over Mercyhurst. Why did he like it so much?
On Senior Night, three seniors scored.
Niagara's home unbeaten streak is now 20, two short of the school record. The Purple Eagles finished 13-0-2 at home, improved to 20-6-5 overall, and finished 19-3-2 in Atlantic Hockey. In the PairWise Rankings, Niagara apparently is in good shape, at least on this evening. The Atlantic Hockey regular season championship is old news.
Perhaps one play epitomized how this season has gone for Niagara at Dwyer Arena. A defensive breakdown in the second period allowed Mercyhurst to have a rare two-on-zero. Not only did the Lakers not score, their player shot the puck wide.
"It is a big win for us for a number of reasons, obviously, for our senior class on Senior Night with their families here," said coach Dave Burkholder, who accepted the trophy after the game for Niagara's winning the Atlantic Hockey regular season championship. "We kept the unbeaten streak alive, and it shouldn't hurt our PairWise."
Fittingly, seniors Giancarlo Iuorio, Jason Beattie, and Dan Weiss scored for the Purple Eagles. Hugo Turcotte scored the other goal, while Carsen Chubak made 31 saves.
Other seniors honored were Marc Zanette, Jeff Hannan, and C. J. Chartrain. Hannan is injured and did not suit up.
"Danny had a big goal, Jason had a big goal, and Giancarlo scored," Burkholder said. "We are going to go as far as our seniors will take us, and they were terrific."
Turcotte gave the Purple Eagles a 1-0 lead just 1:45 into the game before Iuorio made it 2-0 near the end of the first period, and it looked like Niagara would sail along smoothly.
Weiss and Beattie made it 4-0 in the second period. Weiss' goal — the eventual game-winner — came in front of his parents, who watched him play at Niagara for the very first time. His shot from the point sailed through a maze of players.
"That was the first time my parents got to watch a game here, so it was extra special," said Weiss, who is from St. Louis. "That was definitely special."
In the third period, the Lakers ascended while Niagara seemed to sag a little, with sometimes disheveled play and a predictable result.
Daniel O'Donoghue got the Lakers on the board 38 seconds into the period before Ryan Misiak cut Niagara's lead to 4-2, and all of a sudden the sellout crowd got nervous. Mercyhurst outshot Niagara, 14-7, in the third.
"They are a good hockey team," Beattie said. "You know they are going to be desperate. Attention to details, and that is something we will work on."
For now, Niagara could be looking past Atlantic Hockey in the rearview mirror and instead at national implications, with the all important PairWise rankings paramount. The Purple Eagles have three regular season games left.
"It is momentum, it is about confidence, and moving on to the next thing," Beattie said. "We have a room that believes it can win. So it is just coming out every night and doing it."
The two teams play again tonight at Mercyhurst. Faceoff is 7:05 p.m.

DOST-PCHRD funds WMSU's research on exclusive breastfeeding in Zamboanga City
- Article Details
- Published on Tuesday, 14 May 2013 14:18
- Last update Tuesday, 14 May 2013 14:18
- Written by
In a recent study conducted by the Department of Science and Technology – Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST- FNRI), the Filipino mothers who are exclusively breastfeeding their infants are declining in the Philippines. In addition, exclusive breastfeeding is practiced by only 8.6 percent of the survey respondents, while a high 55.4 percent feed their children with other milk or in combination with complementary feeding. This low level of breastfeeding practices for infants and young children is consistent with the high prevalence of malnutrition among 0-5 year age group where 22.2 % and 27.9 % are underweight and stunted, respectively. Further, the FNRI-DOST survey also shows that among three-month old infants, nine out of 10 were given water as complementary food. Among four-month old infants, two out of 10 were given with sugar. These results fell short of the recommendation that only breast milk should be given to infants before six months.
In line with this, Ms. Melanie F. Lear, a researcher and faculty member of the Western Mindanao State University (WMSU), conceptualized a research proposal entitled, "Exclusive Breastfeeding among Selected Communities in Zamboanga City". Generally, the study seeks to determine the factors affecting exclusive breastfeeding in selected communities in Zamboanga City. It also aims to determine the prevalence of mothers who exclusively breastfeed their infants in 2011-2012, as well as the knowledge and attitudes affecting exclusive breastfeeding practices of mothers in the local communities.
The proposal was submitted to the Zamboanga Consortium for Health Research and Development (ZCHRD) for review and endorsement for funding to the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) of the DOST. PCHRD is committed to develop and enhance the research capability of institutions in the regions, as a strategy to improve the health conditions of Filipinos. The proposal received a total funding amount of Two Hundred Thousand Pesos (P200,000.00) through the DOST-PCHRD Grants-in-Aid Program. The research started last March 2013, and expected to complete in August 2013.
Ms. Lear said that the research findings and recommendations would serve as a baseline data to improve the maternal and child care delivery. Consequently, it will aid health service providers, practitioners, government agencies such as the DOH, DOST-PCHRD, and other non-government organizations to effectively formulate / enhance policies and advocacy to achieve better nutritional status of our infants and young children.

DOST holds health tea making seminar-workshop
- Article Details
- Published on Tuesday, 14 May 2013 14:16
- Last update Tuesday, 14 May 2013 14:16
- Written by
The growing popularity of herbal beverages and their health benefits has propelled the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Negros Oriental Provincial Science and Technology Center to conduct a tea making seminar-workshop for existing and potential entrepreneurs in Negros Oriental. Around 15 participants attended the training held recently at the local DOST office .
The workshop included a comprehensive lecture on tea-making and hands-on exercises, and covered an extensive discussion on the proper methods and techniques most especially in drying, mixing and storing herbs. Also pointed out in the seminar are the correct way of making teabags, proper packaging and labeling; and fair costing of tea products.
"Herbal tea has been accepted as a catch-all term for any non-caffeinated beverage made from the infusion or decoction of herbs, spices, or other plant material in water since "tea" in the real sense of word is made of cured leaves of the tea plant Camellia sinensis," explained Vina R. Antopina, the resident food and food safety expert from Bohol who facilitated the workshop. The participants had the chance to explore their creativity in mixing different types of dried plant materials and creating different kinds of natural and such as dried turmeric, malunggay, guava leaves, basil, lagundi leaves, mango peelings, and orange peelings, among others.
Antopina also reminded the participants that packaging plays an integral role and is widely considered as one of the most important attributes in every firm's product.
For his part, Provincial S&T Director Gilbert R. Arbon expressed high hopes in maintaining and expanding the conduct of technology trainings as part of the department's ongoing goal to help SMEs.

The Committee on Human Resource and Development of the Central Visayas Consortium for Health Research and Development chaired by Dr. Melfer R. Montoya conducted a "Forum on Challenges and Opportunities in Research" on January 31, 2013 at the Cebu Institute of Medicine Amphitheater 1. This activity was conducted to increase awareness and knowledge on health research.
All member institutions together with the University of Cebu and the University of San Jose Recoletos who applied for membership in the consortium were invited and encouraged to send 15 participants per institution.
Three competent speakers were invited to share their expertise in the field of health research. Dr. Asuncion M. Anden, the Director of the Department of Health Region VII, Dr. Alan B. Feranil, the Director of the University of San Carlos, Office of Population Studies Foundation and Dr. Frances E. Edillo, a faculty member of the Biology Department of the University of San Carlos. Due to other important commitments, Dr. Anden was represented by Dr. Crisol Tabarejo, Epidemiologist of the Department of Health Region VII.
Dr. Tabarejo talked about the topic "Revisiting the National Unified Health Research Agenda (NUHRA)". She said that the NUHRA 2011-2016 is a product of consultation and consolidation of the research priorities of the four core agencies of the PNHRS (DOH, PCHRD-DOST, CHED, NIH-UPM). She stressed the importance of the NUHRA that was designed for the following purposes: 1)To provide focus and direction on health research and development efforts that will address the country's health concerns for 2011-2016, 2) To serve as a guide where policy makers, funding and donor agencies and researchers from public and private sectors should invest to ensure the health and productivity of the country's productivity, 3) To assist in providing evidence based solutions to pressing local health problems, 4) To serve as basis to maximize resource utilization and minimize duplication of research efforts, 5) that NUHRA serves as the template for health research and development efforts in addressing the country's health concerns for 2011-2016.
Dr. Tabarejo also emphasized that the formulation of the NUHRA 2011-2016 is anchored on the following national and international commitments: 1)The Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), 2) The Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016, 3) The "Aquino Health Agenda: Universal Health Care for all Filipinos", 4) The Presidential Coordinating Council on Research and Development's (PCCRD) National R&D Priorities Plan 2011-2016, 5) The DOST Five-Point Priority Program for 2011-2016. She ended her talk by encouraging the audience to come up with quality researches aligned with the NUHRA or RUHRA.
Dr. Alan B. Feranil discussed the topic "Looking for and Obtaining Funding for Health Research in the Philippines." He shared to the group the different funding agencies coming from different sectors of the society. Among the government agencies that fund health research are the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD), Department of Health, DENR-Environment Management Bureau for environmental issues, and DOLE-Occupational Health and Safety Center for occupational health concerns. Local foundations such as Gruppo Medica and Pfizer Foundation also fund health researches. Foreign sources include Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), UNFPA (United Nations Fund for Population Activities), UNICEF, UNAIDS, USAID, and many others. Dr. Feranil emphasized that research funding is not a problem but focus should be on producing quality researches.
Dr. Frances E. Edillo focused her talk on the "Research Operational Mechanism in Academic Institutions." The lecture encouraged all universities to become research universities. She also brought in the new typology of Philippine Educational Reform (cited by Salas, 2011) that for a University to remain a university, it should meet the following criteria: doctoral programs in at least 5 disciplines, 70% of BS programs with a thesis or project paper, International linkages, 10% of enrollment should be graduate programs, 30% of faculty be actively involved in research and 10% of faculty should have publications in refereed journals.
A lot of participants showed their interest to know more on the different topics presented by the speakers that it led to a very lively discussion during the open forum. Dr. Amelia Biglete, the Regional Director of the Commission on Higher Education Region VII confirmed that the Commission on Higher Education is very much willing to fund quality researches.

EVHRDC members attended the 31st PCHRD Anniversary celebrations held at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza, CCP Complex, Metro Manila last March 18, 2013. The one day event was focused on the theme "People at the Center of Health and Health Research" with former Health Secretary Dr. Alfredo G. Romualdez,Jr., as the keynote speaker. To welcome the guests, Dr. Jaime C. Montoya, PCHRD Executive Director, started thanking everyone who attended the ceremonies and to all partners who have strived hard in achieving the goals of the council and the health research system as a whole. He also happily announced that the Philippines will be hosting the forthcoming "2014 Global Forum for Health Research".
A message was given by Secretary Mario G. Montejo, DOST Secretary, where he congratulated PCHRD on its 31st year of unwavering efforts to develop the health research system. He mentioned some initiatives of DOST on health. He focused on gadgets with its application accessible through the internet. On of this is the RX Box, which allows consultation through the net where doctors in the hinter barangay could seek assistance from doctor specialists through email or through texting. Another message was delivered by Secretary Enrique T. Ona, DOH Secretary, who stressed on the sustainability of the program "Kalusugang Pangkalahatan or Universal Health Care". He stressed that it is important to gather evidences of success as these are crucial in policy making. Furthermore, he stressed that the Philippines can learn from best practices in other countries and with some modifications apply these learnings. On of the new initiatives towards mobilizing funds for research was done by downloading these funds to PCHRD who managed the funds. Another DOH initiative is the establishment of a Health Research Hub at DOH currently chaired by Dr. Ernesto Domingo. This will hopefully capacitate DOH staff to conduct research and eventually manage its own research funds to the fullest.
The keynote message was given by the 1st Executive Director of PCHRD, Dr. Alberto G. Romualdez. He walked through the history of PCHRD which started with 5 brains who formulated the health research agenda with bias on human beings. He was delighted of the many initiatives done by PCHRD through the years just to move research forward. He also acknowledged the presence of the Academician Gelia Castillo (who was supposedly the one who would have delivered the keynote address but preferred to just be a reactor to the different topics lined up for the day). He ended his message by congratulating the men and women of PCHRD for the countless accomplishments of the council sustaining the efforts in health R&D.
The Panel discussion that followed were on: 1) People's Health: Listening and translating Health Needs to Research Actions; 2) Research Actions: Improving research utilization by increasing research publishing productivity and International Visibility; and 3) New paradigms and global trends in research publications: how Philippine research benefits.
The activity was attended by Health Research Consortium Members, PNHRS Members, SUCs, National Government Agencies Representatives, Private Organizations and Private Individuals.

This weekend, on Friday, April 6, don't miss a uniquely funky opportunity as 1997 Hall of Fame Inductee Bootsy Collins plays an intimate show at one of Cleveland's great music venues, the Beachland Ballroom. This is the first of many musical performances during the Rock Hall's 11 days of events surrounding this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions Ceremony on Saturday, April 14.
The charismatic Collins – easily identified by his singular fashion sense: star-shaped glasses, colorful suits and top hats, and glittery "space bass" – was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Parliament-Funkadelic, alongside his mentor George Clinton (who'll headline the Free Concert for Cleveland with Kid Cudi and Kids These Days at the Q.)
Over the years, the bassist, singer, songwriter and Cincinnati, Ohio, native has released more than a dozen albums, including 2011's Tha Funk Capital Of The World, a deeply grooving history of funk as only Collins and his collaborators could curate. The musicians joining Collins at the Beachland Ballroom include P-Funk alumni and fellow Hall of Famers drummer extraordinaire Frankie "Kash" Waddy and Bernie Worrell, long recognized as a keyboard wizard ...
On July 30, I hosted a Hall of Fame Series interview with George Clinton, founder and leading light behind Parliament and Funkadelic, who treated a sold-out audience in the Museum's Foster Theater to stories and insights he's gathered during his singular career.
One of the most creative individuals in music, Clinton was very generous in talking about his youth in New Jersey, his move to Detroit and the long gestation of Parliament and the birth of Funkadelic.
Clinton likened his role in Parliament-Funkadelic to that of a jazz bandleader working with different musicians from session to session, though recording under a single moniker. For decades, Clinton has been an innovative maestro, the visionary leading a rotating cast of musicians that is the Parliament-Funkadelic family.
Each time The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has an Inductee share his or her story as part of the live Hall of Fame Series, there are moments that really take the event to another level – and this event was no exception. The conversation got deep when we were joined on stage by several members of the group, including Lige Curry, Michael "Clip" Payne, and inductees "Billy Bass" Nelson and Michael ...

Fans of the popular cooking method sous vide tout the flavors and tenderness it provides, but some people worry about the method's safety. (Erikoinentunnus via Wikimedia Commons)
Like many chefs, John Placko is a huge fan of the cooking technique called sous vide. At the restaurants where he has worked and the culinary academy where he teaches cutting-edge "molecular cuisine," foods cooked sous vide are an essential part of the menu.
"There's so many benefits, particularly if you're cooking, say, ribs," says Placko, an Australian who lives and works in Toronto. "You would cook ribs for 48 hours and get an incredible, tender product, where the fat content in the meat and the connective tissue tend to dissolve and become gelatinous, releasing the flavor into the meat."
Sous vide, which means "under vacuum" in French, typically involves vacuum-sealing a cut of meat or other food in plastic and submersing the package in a warm-water bath kept at a precisely controlled temperature, often for hours. The food is cooked evenly all the way through, the juices are preserved, and diners are ecstatic.
"You end up with ribs where the bone will basically just slide out completely clean, so people that have eaten those ribs never want to eat another kind of rib after that," Placko says.
The popularity of sous vide has exploded in the past few years, spreading the delights of perfectly cooked meat and other foods to gastropubs and home kitchens. But that growth has also occasioned some consternation among regulators who worry that misuse of low-temperature cooking and vacuum storage could end up sickening some of the cooks who have eagerly adopted the method, not to mention their dinner guests or customers.
"It is a technique that does require attention, and you do have to understand that you're dealing with people's health," Placko says. "You don't want to have any kind of food-poisoning incident."
Refining an Ancient Technology
The roots of sous vide cooking reach far back in history to traditional practices of wrapping food in leaves or animal bladders before cooking. Maori people in New Zealand used a very similar technique, lowering flaxen bags of food into naturally occurring hot springs and leaving them to cook slowly.
In the West the discovery of slow cooking at low temperatures is often credited to Benjamin Thompson, known as Count Rumford, whose wide range of interests included the study of heat and cooking. In one experiment conducted at the end of the 18th century, he tried to cook a shoulder of mutton in a machine he'd invented to dry potatoes with hot air. He gave up after three hours, feeling "rather out of humour at my ill success"; but the mutton remained in the apparatus until the next morning, when the maids found it perfectly cooked.
"It was neither boiled, nor roasted, nor baked," Rumford wrote. "The gentle heat to which it had for so long a time been exposed, had by degrees loosened the cohesion of its fibres, and concocted its juices."
An irony of today's worries over sous vide safety is that vacuum-packing has always been used to prevent food spoilage. In 1900, Hills Bros. began selling coffee in vacuum-sealed cans to preserve the taste, and by the 1930s early efforts were under way to vacuum-pack raw meat in latex or other polymers.
In the 1960s researchers began cooking food sealed in plastic, according to Modernist Cuisine, an encyclopedic food-science guide and cookbook written by sous vide enthusiast and former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold. During that time Swedish hospitals developed a system of vacuum-sealing cooked food, boiling it for a few minutes more, and delivering the packages to facilities around Stockholm.
True sous vide was created when hospitals in South Carolina and plastic-film manufacturer Cryovac collaborated to make the key innovation of vacuum-sealing raw ingredients before cooking. The process was refined by French experts, particularly chef George Pralus, who used sous vide in the early 1970s to minimize shrinkage of foie gras, and food scientist Bruno Goussault, who developed temperature guidelines and techniques that allowed commercial adoption. Their work dovetailed with a nascent movement to bring food science and chemistry into restaurants and home kitchens in order to create new dishes that ranged from sous vide steaks to nitrogen-chilled ice cream and even fruit-juice caviar.
An early proponent of sous vide was Nicholas Kurti, a Hungarian physicist at Oxford University who had created temperatures near absolute zero in his lab. During a 1969 talk at the Royal Society he reproduced Rumford's slow-cooking experiment and made an "inverted Baked Alaska" pie—with a cold crust and a hot filling—using the newly invented microwave oven.
"I think it is a sad reflection on our civilization that while we can and do measure the temperature in the atmosphere of Venus, we do not know what goes on inside our soufflés," he told the audience.

I'm not really into collecting flash drives. I just want a drive that has enough space for all the crap I need to store. I really don't care what it looks like so long as it's not pink and girly.
Tyme Machines has a line of flash drives that look like sculpted heroes and villains from Star Wars and other films. The company has announced a new flash drive that looks like Ironman. The Ironman drive comes in 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB capacities.
Ironman starts at $34.99 and his head pops off to reveal the USB plug. I hope the flash drive is more fun than watching Ironman 2 at the theater.

China's installed power generating capacity is likely to increase to a record 860 gigawatts by the end of the year, forecasts from the China Electricity Council showed.
This would be 9 percent higher than the level at the end of 2008.
Installed capacity gained 10.3 percent to 790 GW at the end of 2008 after rising 14.6 percent in 2007.
Growth in China's power consumption sank to an 8-year low of 5.23 percent last year as factories scaled back production or shut down operations due to diminishing orders.
The growth rate is expected to remain more or less the same in 2009, according to the council, an industry group regulated by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
However, the government should continue to arrange sizable power investment to meet future power demand, the council was quoted as saying in the report.
Zhang Guobao, China's energy chief, said on Tuesday that the country would invest 580 billion yuan on power projects this year.
The amount would be roughly the same as the 576.3 billion yuan in 2008, which was up 1.52 percent from the level in 2007, according to data from the electricity council.

Enchanted Slots
The Enchanted slots machine is a five reel, 30 payline online slot themed around wizards, fairies and trolls. This is one of Betsoft's 3D slot games which means everything from the graphics to the bonus rounds revolves around 3D action. If you like playing bonus rounds you will love Enchanted slots.
Lists All Casinos Online with 3D Slots
How to Play Betsoft's Enchanted Slot Game
The Enchanted slots game plays similar to other online slot machines. You will first need to decide the amount of the wager, which you can do by clicking on the "Choose Coin" button, followed by the number of bets per line and select lines. These two icons are the mushroom caps. Alternatively you can use the Bet Max button, but be careful, this will force you to bet all five credits using the current denomination. There is no "auto play" feature built into this game.
The Enchanted Slots Game Bonus Features
The Enchanted slot game comes with four bonus rounds including free spins, instant win bonuses and re-spins.
Enchanted Slots Bonus Feature #1 – Save Feera's Birdie
This slot game bonus feature is an instant win. To trigger it, you must land the fairy icon (Feera) and the Ogre (Rufus) side by side on an active payline. Once triggered, a new screen will open where you will be instructed to attack the ogre using the buttons on the screen. The object of the game is to attack Rufus three times to release the bird Rufus has captured. Each successful attack will award you with a prize. This is one of the easier bonus rounds to hit. Tip – Instead of moving left to right to attack the ogre, wait for him in the centre of the screen. You'll have three successful attacks in a row instead of playing cat and mouse. I'm pretty sure the max win in this round is 900 credits, as I've never been able to win more than that. The lowest amount I've won during this feature is 300 credits.
Enchanted Slot Bonus Feature #2 – The Three Keys
This bonus round takes a bit longer to hit than the others. In order to trigger it you will need to collect three keys. You will only collect a key when if it lands on the fifth reel. Once you've collected all three, the game will pause and announce that the reels have broke. Some of the icons will be replaced with key holes, at which point you will need to use your three keys to fix the reels. Each key hole holds a different prize ranging from a few hundred credits to a few thousand. Once you click on a key hole, a small troll will take the key, insert it into the keyhole and fix the reel and your prize is released.
Enchanted Slot Machine Bonus Feature #3 – The Crazy Hats Re Spin Bonus
To win the re-spin bonus feature you will need to land on two crazy hats (the purple sorcerer hat symbols) on the first and fifth reel. Once triggered, a tornado blows through across the screen and a the crazy hat will display. The hat will assist in completing winning combinations. You will have three re-spins to help complete any possible winning combinations. However, the re-spin is only allowed on three individual reels. (similar to the way the tornado in Triple Twister bonus feature works as a wild). The re-spin reels are selected by random. I've never had much luck with this feature. I'm sure it's possible to win considerably, but I've yet to see it. You cannot trigger a bonus round during the re-spin bonus.
Enchanted Slot Game Bonus Feature #4 – The Book of Spells Free Spins
This is a easy way to win big. It took me a bit longer to hit this bonus feature than it did some of the others, but definitely paid off. To win the free spins bonus you will need to collect three or more "Book of Spells" symbols. Once triggered, the wizard will take his place in the center of the screen and cast a spell awarding you with 9 free games with a three x multiplier on wins during the free spins feature.
The free spins bonus round comes with a second bonus which you can win if you are lucky enough to land the book of spells on reel three, in second position. When this happens, the "wheel of chance" will popup. The wheel will automatically spin and an arrow will land on the fairy, the troll, the wizard or the ogre. Each character offers a different bonus on top of the free spins. For example, if the wheel of chance lands on the ogre, the ogre will then appear in the third reel, and act as a wild, completing any winning combinations within that particular spin.
Enchanted Slot Machine Payouts and Winning Combinations
Below are the following payouts for this game. The game pays left to right.
- Wizard – 5:500 4:500 3:100 2: 5
- Fairy – 5:300 4:400 3:75 2: 4

Welcome to today's New Orleans Saints mailbag, answering your Saints questions...
Got a Saints Mailbag question for future editions? Send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. And don't forget to include your name and place of residence. Without them, your question can't be published.
Q: After seeing Heath Evans' comments about Brees' knee injury, do you think Evans' chances of re-signing with the Saints are diminished? I can't imagine Payton being happy about one of his players letting the cat out of the bag like that. Leo McGovern, New Orleans.
A: Trust me, a veteran like Heath Evans knew exactly what he was doing when he made those comments. I think Evans made them more as a tribute to Brees' toughness than as any kind of revelatory gesture. I'm still somewhat mystified by the buzz created by Evans' comments. After all, Brees' injury was well-documented at the time when it occurred. While no one knew the specific nature of the injury, it was thoroughly reported that he indeed suffered a knee injury and was playing through it. In fact, Brees spoke at length about the injury, when it occurred and further discussed how it affected him, his throwing motion and how the brace he chose to wear would affect his mobility during practice and games. Payton didn't deny that Brees had an injury. He just refused to reveal any specifics. That's certainly not the first time that's happened. The NFL only requires teams to submit a practice participation report on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Because Brees practiced and did not miss any drills the team was not required to report his injury. Consequently, I don't see why the Saints would be upset at Evans. So he revealed the specific nature of Brees' injury. Big deal. Brees is fine now. There's no competitive disadvantage to revealing the specifics of the injury. In fact, I think the Saints would view Evans' comments positively, as a teammate praising another teammate. If Evans isn't re-signed, it'll be because the club has moved in another direction at fullback and wants to upgrade the position with a younger player more than any retribution for his comments, which, in my mind, were benign.
Q: I recently read an article breaking down the lockout issues, and it said that one potential issue with not having a new CBA is that no trades could be made. While obviously teams can trade picks, if there is no agreement by the draft, how do you see the no-trade issue affecting draft-day dealings? Raymond, Brandon, Miss.
A: Good questions, Raymond. I think the draft process itself will be largely unaffected. Even without a new labor agreement in place, teams can still trade current and future draft picks during the daft. They just can't trade players for picks. Obviously, this will cut down on the number of deals and movement during the draft but rarely are more than a handful of draft-day trades made involving players. That said, the terms do prevent teams from making draft-and-trade deals like the one between the Chargers and Giants in 2004 involving Eli Manning and Philip Rivers, where the clubs made the deal after selecting the players in their respective draft slots. That would be forbidden in this year's draft. The clubs would have to make the deal before making their selections.
Q: Do you guys see the Saints going after Ronnie Brown in Free Agency? He's a completely versatile back with power and hands. It seems he could be a good fit in Sean Payton's offense. Dixon Hory, Mobile, Ala.
A: The Saints nor any other team can go after Ronnie Brown until there is a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. Free agency is completely on hold. Assuming there is some kind of truncated free agent period at some point, I think the Saints could possible be in the market for a veteran running back but it all depends on what they do with their existing backfield. Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush both face uncertain futures. If both return, then I think it's unlikely the Saints will add another back to an already crowded situation. Remember, they have a couple of young runners they like in Chris Ivory and Lynell Hamilton returning from injuries.
Q: After hearing Drew Brees talk about the game at the Pro Bowl, past interviews and discussions on his passion and knowledge of football, do you guys feel that he may pursue some coaching job in the NFL or would it be politics, which he has stated that if not football, would have been politics? Thanks. John M., Dickinson, Texas.
A: I personally think Brees will become the leader of the free world and discover a cure for every known disease when he hangs up his cleats. I jest but clearly Brees is one of those rare achieva-trons who seems capable of accomplishing anything once they set their mind to it. I do not see Brees working as a coach. His post-NFL career aspirations are much greater. He's said he might consider a career in politics and I know he's very interested in business. If he chooses a career in football, I could also see him getting involved in a front-office capacity similar to the role John Elway has taken in Denver. Brees has a variety of non-football interests. Whatever path he chooses I think it will be multi-faceted.
Q: I'm not the type of fan who wants coaches fired on a regular basis. That being said, is our special teams coordinator not in question? I realize the injuries we had, but is that really the problem? Is it coaching? Cody Jones, Fort Smith, Ark.
A: The Saints' struggles on special teams have been a mystery to everyone: me; you; head coach Sean Payton and the entire Saints coaching staff. I expect special teams to be a point of emphasis this offseason but I'm pretty sure I remember hearing Payton say they would be last offseason as well and the results were unremarkable. The club was fair to middling in nearly every special teams category except the kicking game, where punter Thomas Morstead and kicker Garrett Hartley continued to shine. The coverage units ranked near the bottom of the league and the return units weren't much better. Even the return of Reggie Bush failed to inject life in the return game. Clearly, the inordinate number of injuries played a factor and created weekly challenges for coordinator Greg McMahon and assistant Mike Mallory. But they don't answer the question of why the punt return game continues to struggle despite the presence of the explosive Bush. Clearly, the Saints need to go back to the drawing board this offseason and determine what's holding back each unit. McMahon and Mallory have received endorsements by Payton this offseason so I wouldn't expect any changes to the staff.
Q: Have you guys heard anything else concerning the American Needle lawsuit (since the Supreme Court ruling in May 2010) and will other companies like, Nike be able to bid for the opportunity to manufacture sports apparel? Also do you guys think it is time for a uniform upgrade? Warren, Maryland.
A: In May, the Supreme Court reversed a decision out of the 7th Circuit holding the arrangement was not an anti-trust violation. The case has been remanded to the 7th Circuit, which will be compelled to judge the legality of the NFL's concerted action licensing activities under the rule of reason. Meanwhile, the league announced in October a new five-year deal making Nike its official uniform provider starting in 2012. The league also cut deals with six other apparel manufacturers. New Era will handle on-field headwear. Under Armour will remain the sponsor of the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Gill will manufacture fan gear, as will VF. Outerstuff will continue as the league's youth apparel provider, and '47 Brand will do headwear for fans. Of course, the deal could be contingent on the final decision of the American Needle case. The league has long maintained that it would win the American Needle case and is obviously proceeding as such.

COMMENTARY Narrow thinking on health care
HR 676, the single-payer bill introduced by Michigan Rep. John Conyers, is a fine piece of legislation and it is understandable that those who have worked hard for its enactment are passionate about this cause.
OPINION Ahmadinejad on the wrong side of history
To reach a correct judgment concerning recent developments in Iran and the self-styled re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, it is vital to view the whole picture: national and international.
COMMENTARY The health care crisis becomes personal
I had the recent misfortune to fracture my right ankle, having a little too much fun on it. It has impacted my mobility, reduced my hours at work, and not least of all, cast me into the purgatory that is the contemporary healthcare system. I am additionally burdened by being one of the tens of millions of Americans without health insurance, a fact that has immediately and radically colored my hospital experience.
COMMENTARY The mentality of marginalization
Because of McCarthyism, the Cold War, the long economic expansion following WW II, and a resistence to think anew, the Left has been on the edges of politics for more than a half century. During this time, our ability to impact on broader political processes in the country has been narrowly circumscribed – nothing like the 1930s, nothing like the Left in many other countries.
COMMENTARY Blood and oil in Central Asia
(fpif.org) — In the past month, two seemingly unrelated events have turned Central Asia into a potential flashpoint: an aggressively expanding North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and a nascent strategic alliance between Russia and China.
COMMENTARY Calif. budget crisis who should pay the bill?
WHITTIER, Calif. — California's state budget is still being debated with continued threats of cuts and services to the most needed in our state.
LETTERS Importance of standing up, coverage of N. Korea, Iran, Honduras, Health care for all
Importance of standing up, Re: N. Korea test, Where is coverage on Iran?, SourKraut, Honduran coup not 'glorious', Health care for all
Will the Communists nationalize Juniors junkyard?
Today is Saturday, so I crank up my old pickup truck and head down the old dirt road to see my good friend Junior. I love this old truck and every rattle that goes with it. One thing about south Georgia is the washboard roads. They are very difficult to navigate at times. The 8-track player blares out "your cheatin' heart" as my hound dogs (pronounced 'dawgs') bark and bay at every turn we make — the day is starting out great.
LONESOME HOBO ECONOMICS Mountaintop removal on recovery road
In the Coal Creek river valley in Southern West Virginia actress Daryl Hannah and NASA climatologist James Hansen were arrested protesting continuation of mountaintop — "surface" — mining, warning of dire environmental consequences and unfunded costs exceeding the value of coal mined.
What will Sarah do?
I know predictions are risky in politics — but who wants to "play it safe?" Not me. So here it goes.

Sigmar PolkeGerman, 1941 - 2010
View Objects By Sigmar Polke >>
Born in 1941, in Oels, Silesia--then occupied by Nazi Germany and now part of Poland--Sigmar Polke smuggled himself into the West at the age of twelve by feigning sleep on a train. In the West, Polke studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, where he met the painter Gerhard Richter and the art dealer Konrad Fischer, with whom he originated Capitalist Realism in 1963. Though short-lived, this movement propelled the artist's interest in evoking irony from the new realities of everyday life in Germany after World War II. He often photocopied and projected images from mail-order catalogues, advertisements, and newspapers in order to incorporate them into his paintings by hand. Reminiscent of early modern artists such as Kurt Schwitters (German, 1887 - 1948) and Francis Picabia (French, 1879 - 1953), Polke possesses an experimental spirit that never ceases to push the limits of painting, from its methods and techniques to its expressive possibilities.
Polke's wide range of imagery often challenges the restraints of reason and consciousness. Searching for truth outside the bounds of science, Polke acts as an alchemist-painter--mixing poisonous acids, smoke, and newly created pigments into his paintings. Thwarting modernist concerns for contained forms and permanent objects in favor of testing the mutability of images, Polke commenced his series of experimental abstractions, such as Ginkgo, in the 1980s. In this work, a sensuously amorphous, semitranslucent deluge of color over the canvas cloth subtly reveals the painting's wooden structure, in effect exposing its very physical structure.
Polke's Flüchtlingslager (Refugee Camp) of 1994 displays a continued interest in submerging imagery in washes of color that evoke abstraction and suggest hallucination. His ambiguous colors paradoxically belie the palpably charged subject of the painting, a clear allusion to the death camps of Nazi Germany. Polke's choice to paint the internment scene with his signature dots that mimic newsprint serves to distance us from reality and summon apparitions of the past.
