Trade control legislation concerns the movement of military goods from one third country to another where the deal is brokered in the UK or by a UK person overseas.
The Export Control Act 2002 that came into force on 1 May 2004 replaced existing export control powers, provided a more transparent framework and increased Parliamentary accountability. The Act also extended export controls, including those on trade ('trafficking and brokering') in controlled military goods (including trade to embargoed destinations).
'Trafficking and brokering' is the involvement in deals which result in the movement of military goods from one third country to another.
This guidance will help those individuals and companies who are involved in the trading of military goods to understand the controls and understand when a licence will be required.
Current guidance on trade in military goods
As a result of the Review of Export Control Legislation 2007, amending trade control legislation came into force on 1 October 2008. This introduced amendments to the existing Trade in Goods (Control) Order 2003 and the Trade in Controlled Goods (Embargoed Destinations) Order 2004. The amending order was the Trade in Goods (Categories of Controlled Goods) Order 2008. Read about the Review of Export Control Legislation 2007
As of 6 April 2009, these orders have collectively now been replaced by a single consolidating order. See the guide on the Export Control Order 2008.
The changes to the trafficking and brokering controls were phased in through 3 stages. The third tranche, which came into effect on 6 April 2009, introduced a number of amendments, including moving some goods into different categories.

Frequently asked questions on trade controls (trafficking and brokering) of military goods
Here are some frequently asked questions about the movement of military goods from one third country to another.
What are the trade controls?
Trade means trafficking and brokering of military goods, in other words, the UK involvement in deals which result in the movement of military goods from one third country to another.
If we have a trade licence in place for a certain deal, will we still need to obtain an export licence from the source destination for the goods to leave that country?
What if we are arranging for technology for military goods to be moved from one third country to another?
The trade controls do not normally apply to software or technology.

In the early seventies, Northern Soul was divided between two great cathedrals. Wigan Casino got most of the attention, but the Blackpool Mecca attracted the purists, due to DJ Ian Levine's enormous collection of rare records. During the 80's, Levine went on to DJ at some of the major gay venues and became a notable Hi-Energy producer, but he always maintained his first love. Over the years, he has recorded and filmed many of the Northern icons, people who were ignored in their home country, but deeply loved in soul circles. These included Bob Brady, Frank Wilson, Tobi Lark, Bobby Paris, Lou Johnston, Tobi Legend and many, many more.

Does caffeine work to help get over a hangover?
Answers (5)
Overall, caffeine is not a good idea for hangovers primarily because it has a diuretic effect. Basically, it will dehydrate you more--this is a bad thing, as a lot of the hangover symptoms you experience are from being dehydrated. So, in essence, caffeine is likely just making the situation worse.
While caffeine is a stimulant and can transiently make you feel like you've got more energy, its effects are not long lasting. When that stimulant effect wears off, you are left feeling more tired and may even feel more wired and anxious. And while caffeine is also a vasoconstrictor of blood vessels and may help mildly with headaches associated with hangovers, the effect is transient.
My recommendation would be to drink plenty of fluid and make sure you eat calming foods that are not too fatty or fried. Make sure you are getting the minerals necessary for healthy body functioning and recovery, such as in vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Allow yourself to rest and recover.
It is also important to pay attention to what you do the hours before you drink and while you are drinking. Make sure to pace your drinks and to stay hydrated. One simple way to do that is to make sure you are alternating one alcoholic drink with another non-alcoholic drink. So if you start out with a glass of wine, let your next drink be water or sparkling water, then if you have another glass of wine, make sure to switch back to water after that, and so forth. This will help you to enjoy your night and the day after as well!
1 combo that works well is a tincture (ie liquid) or capsules (if you can find a combo product in this form in your local natural pharmacy) of a combination of Reishi and Cordyceps mushrooms. Always check with your doc before starting any new supplement to make sure it's right for you;)
Also trying to get to bed before midnight the night after helps you feel bright and shiny on Post-hangover Day 2 by making sure you get the magic of 'before midnight' sleep to reset your body rhythms and wake up feeling energized!

Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Living in Michigan means that when Fall hits, we get to hit the cider mills. It never dawned on me that a lot of other states aren't fortunate enough to experience apple picking, snacking on piping-hot cinnamon-sugar doughnuts while watching apples being pressed for apple cider. How sad!
Besides the traditional apple pies, crisps, crumbles and scones… oatmeal is my next favorite comfort food to bake apples in. So, are you an instant oatmeal fan? Or are you the soak your oats over night kind? With so many different ways for one to make oatmeal, I'm starting to think baked is the best! It comes out of the oven all light and fluffy and the apples are perfectly baked! Not to mention your home fills up with the smell of apples and cinnamon! *siiigh*!
This recipe is crazy easy to prepare, just combine, bake and breakfast will be served in 30 minutes or less!
Gather and measure your ingredients.
Halve, quarter and remove the center core of an apple.
Next just slice and dice one small to medium sized apple…
Combine oats, apple and brown sugar into a large bowl.
Season them with kosher salt, fresh nutmeg and cinnamon.
Dump it all into a small ungreased baking dish.
And pour the entire two cups of milk over top.
No need to stir or mix. Just place the dish into a preheated 350 degree oven to bake for 25-30 minutes or until most of the milk is absorbed.
Remove and let cool. I shared this with my two daughters while my husband was hunting. So if I was making this for four adults I would double it for sure! But my girls and I shared this leaving a little bit left over for me to save.
Serve it up! I like mine with a little extra brown sugar and a drizzle of milk.
Baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Yield: 2-4 servings
Prep Time: 10
Cook Time: 25-30
Total Time: 40
1 medium-sized Apple, cored and diced {like Cortland, Jonathan or Rome}
1-1/3 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
1/4 cup Golden Raisins
2 tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar, plus more for serving
1 tablespoons Melted Butter
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Fresh Nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 cups Whole Milk
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together the apple, oats, raisins, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir in the melted butter and pour the mixture into an oven safe dish. Pour the two cups of milk over top and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until most of the milk is absorbed. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon, drizzle with a little bit of milk and serve!

Luxury living: A guide to gourmet chocolates
Learn how to select the fienst gourmet chocolates. This guide explains the basics of fine chocolate and tips on evaluating and selecting chocolates.
Crèmes, nuts and fruits? Dark, white or milk? Swiss, Belgian or Italian? The variety of gourmet chocolates available can be overwhelming. But when it comes to choosing the finest, there are some basic guidelines to help make the choice a little easier.
Chocolate comes in three main varieties: milk, dark (encompasses both semi-sweet and bittersweet) and white. Milk chocolate is pure chocolate with added coca butter, sugar and milk solids. This is a mild type of chocolate.
The dark chocolates include semi-sweet, which is pure chocolate with added cocoa butter and sugar. Semi-sweet is the most versatile chocolate available and is available in many forms. Another dark chocolate is bittersweet. Bittersweet chocolate is usually darker and less sweet than semi-sweet. Most commonly used for baking, bittersweet chocolate can also be labeled simply as dark chocolate in Europe.
White chocolate is not a true chocolate. While it contains cocoa butter, white chocolate does not have chocolate liquor, a requirement to be designated as real chocolate.
The easiest way to separate high quality chocolates from more mass-produced varieties begins with reading the label. The finest chocolates will have a short ingredient list as quality chocolate does not have a lot of additives.
Look for chocolate that contains cocoa butter, chocolate liquor and real – not imitation – vanilla bean, which can create a chemical taste. Also avoid chocolates that have high sugar content or added vegetable fats.
Some better chocolates also list cocoa content on their labels. A high percentage of cocoa can be a good indicator of quality chocolate. As a general guideline, milk chocolate typically contains 30 to 40 percent cocoa, semi-sweet has 55 to 60 percent and bittersweet ranges from 65 to 80 percent cocoa.
Some finer chocolates also list the blend of cocoa beans used. The best beans to look for include:
Criollo Beans – These beans produce the most prized (and expensive) chocolate in the world. Grown in the humid regions of Central and South America, Criollo makes up only 10 percent of cocoa beans grown.
Forastero Beans – In contrast, the Forastero accounts for nearly 90 percent of the world's chocolate production, including a majority of all commercial chocolate.
Trinitairo Beans – A good cross between the Criollo and Forastero beans, the Trinitario is a sturdy, flavorful bean.
The most anticipated, and vital step, in identifying quality gourmet chocolate is to sample. Just as a wine connoisseur evaluates the appearance, aroma and taste o a chardonnay, so should you select chocolate to ensure you're getting the purest, finest variety.
Chocolate should first be evaluated based on appearance. The surface should be shiny and smooth with consistent color. There should not be any air bubbles, white streaks or dots, cracks or fog. If chocolate has been mishandled or improperly stored, it may reveal "bloom", a slight grayish cast indicative of temperature fluctuations. Bloom doesn't usually impact flavor.
After evaluating appearance, experience the aroma of the chocolate. Good chocolate will have a rich, chocolate scent that is not overly perfumed or sugar smelling. There should be no scent of chemicals or additives. Any flavorings such as fruits or nuts can impact the aroma but should not overpower the chocolate itself.
Next, test the break or "snap" of the chocolate. If the chocolate is at the proper temperature and is of good quality, it will make a snap sound when broken. The break will be clean with no crumbling or splintering.
The final test is taste. Put the chocolate on your tongue for 20 seconds, pushing it against the roof of your mouth. The texture should be creamy, smooth and velvety. The taste should initially be a nutty chocolate flavor followed by sweetness. Good chocolate will have a longer finish and a pleasant aftertaste.
Other things to consider when choosing gourmet chocolates are the origin. Typically, a designation such as Belgian, French or Italian chocolate is nothing more than the country where it is produced. However, there are some exceptions since there are more than 10,000 ways to make chocolate. One of the most well-known processes is Swiss chocolate, which is a milk chocolate made with condensed milk for a creamier texture and taste.
Finally, there is brand. Godiva and Ghirardelli are two of the best-known names in gourmet chocolate. However, with the increasingly popular "art" of chocolate, chocolatiers and artisans are taking the sweet to a new level. Using unique bean variations, companies touting "prestige" chocolates include Dean and DeLuca, Scharffen Berger, Michael Cluizel, Vosges Haut, Chuao Chocolatier and Callebaut. The most expensive chocolate bar available comes from Italian chocolatier Amedei Porcelana where a single bar is $9.
You don't have to be an expert to purchase the finest gourmet chocolates. Just know what to look for on the label and don't hesitate to ask for a sample.

Here's a new scholarly open-access publisher of three journals: LifeSciFeed Ventures. It follows the established formula for setting up a new scholarly publishing operation, yet it fails miserably.
The first thing one notices about this publisher is the strange titles its journals have:
- Plant Sciences Feed
- Life Sciences Feed
- Pharma Sciences Feed
In my mind, "feed" means food for animals. I think they are using the term in a different sense here though, feed as in data feed not animal feed.
Next, one notices that the publisher offers a very fast peer review and publishing process:
I cannot find the amount of the article processing charges on the publisher's website. This ought to be stated clearly.
Also, the publisher requires that authors transfer copyright, which is non-standard for open-access journals (in open-access journals generally, the authors keep copyright and publish the work under a Creative Commons license). The few published articles don't bear any licensing information.
Like most predatory journals these days, this publisher's three journals all claim very impressive impact factors, despite the fact that they are brand new and their few published articles have likely never been cited.
This publisher's author guidelines are copied from other publishers without attribution. Finally, it appears that the publisher's headquarters location is in an apartment in India's vast Maharashtra state.
I can't imagine that any serious scholar would consider submitting a paper to this publisher's three counterfeit journals. There are numerous start-up publishers like this one that claim to be premier publishers with fast acceptance and high impact factors, but most — like this one — are unprofessional and highly questionable operations.

"Nixon is a piker compared to what's happening here with Obama. Literally. I'm not even speaking to you politically. Nixon didn't even dream of the stuff that's happening."

And you can be fairly confident that Google is doing everything they can to find out everything about as many people as possible so as to make that data available to the Democrat Party so that they can use it in ways that benefit them. You might say, "Well, the Republicans are doing the same thing." Well, I don't know if they are or not. It's just another example of massive data Hoovering that's taking place out there."
"There isn't any real economic uptick. There's not an economic uptick that everybody senses and feels and thinks, "You know, we're coming out of this." That's not happening."
"You're not gonna talk people against Obama. Too many factors that stand in the way of that. But you can persuade people that Democrats are a problem. You can persuade people that liberalism isn't good for them. You can persuade people to vote against the Democrat Party. You can persuade people to vote against individual Democrats, or the Democrat Party at large."

Mexican Divorce Law & Legal Definition
Mexican divorce is a divorce obtained in Mexico either by mail order or by the appearance of one of the spouses who does not have a Mexican domicile. A Mexican divorce is easier, quicker, and less expensive than a divorce in most states of the US. During 1970's, many courts ceased accepting divorce petitions from non residents. However, Mexican divorce is not recognized in the U.S. Such a divorce, if granted in the Dominican Republic is known as a Dominican divorce and if granted in Haiti is known as a Haitian divorce.

I had to take a break from shoveling my long-ass driveway with hard-compacted-snow-cuz-I-hate-shoveling and try out my new 50D on the twins. I love the 50D -it is so much quieter and faster than my old Rebel XT. It makes me happy! ;o) I have totally fallen of the 31 Days of Happiness wagon, haven't I?

Judson Association sets up ministry rest stop for bikers comment (0)
October 22, 2009
As bikers headed down Highway 431 in southeast Alabama Sept. 24–25 toward Panama City Beach, Fla., for the annual Thunder Beach event, members of Judson Baptist Association churches were there to greet them at the Headland city limits.
Members of Trinity, Balkum, Bethlehem and First Baptist churches, all in Headland, and Concord Baptist Church, Newville, set up a rest-stop area near a service station, complete with hot dogs, chili, sodas, water, evangelism tracts and a big smile to share.
Nearly 200 bikers stopped for fuel, food and rest and received a little hope and prayers, too.
"We didn't meet a stranger the whole time," said Director of Missions George A. Thompson. "We got in the middle of them the whole time. A lot of people want to stereotype bikers … but we met doctors, lawyers, real estate guys, preachers and deacons and had all walks of life there.
"And we were able to share Christ with some of them. … I feel sure they'll receive a blessing from it," he added.

Fire TV Just Keeps Getting Better
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) Amazon's
Amazon today announced that Hulu Plus , Crackle, and SHOWTIME ANYTIME are joining VEVO in integrating their full catalogs into Fire TV's unified voice search.
"We're excited and energized by the momentum we're seeing with Fire TV," said Dave Limp, Vice President, Amazon Devices in a press release. "Customers are telling us they love it, developers are building for it, and we're working hard to expand existing features and build new ones. We're thrilled to have Hulu Plus, Crackle, and SHOWTIME integrating their full selection of movies and TV shows into Fire TV's unified voice search."
Seattle-based Amazon noted that the above content will start to integrate voice search for their content starting this summer. Right now, voice search, which allows users to search for content via title, actor or genre, only works for Amazon Prime Instant Video, but Amazon is working hard to add more in the coming months.
The company also announced that it's working with a slew of developers on adding services and games available for Fire TV, including Telltale Games , Halfbrick, Pixowl, Disney Interactive , Minority Media , Paradox Interactive , Gaiam, AllRecipes, and Twitch.
Amazon also said that it would be adding new features to the $99 set-top box, which TheStreet described as "the real deal." In a separate review, TheStreet said "Amazon's Fire TV is the streaming video device for the others to beat."
Included in the new feature set will be a New Prime browse that makes it even easier to find movies and TV shows included in Prime Instant Video, Amazon FreeTime and Amazon MP3 integration, and more games coming soon. Right now, there are over 100 games available on Fire TV, which was unveiled in earlier this month. In addition to the games available already on Fire TV, Amazon said users can "play touch-enabled games with the upcoming Fire TV app for your phone or tablet."
The company has been working hard to improve its hardware for users, and these announcements show Amazon is serious about the user experience. Traditional set-top boxes from Google
At the unveiling in New York City's Milk Studios , Amazon's Peter Larsen stressed the fact that Fire TV is faster and more powerful than what's out there. It features a quad-core processor, a dedicated GPU, and can handle 57 billion floating point operations per second, to go along with 2GB of RAM. It also features dual band, dual Wi-Fi with Mimo to help stop buffering, a problem other set-top boxes have had issues with. Larsen noted the Fire TV has three times the performance of Apple TV, Chromecast and Roku 3.

Beautiful Product
Posted 6/25/2010 by Debbie
I wanted a foundation that left my skin looking natural so others would see my healthy skin instead of my makeup. This is the perfect foundation to achieve a natural look. Other foundations seemed to enhance the appearance of my pores, but this one doesn't! I use a light dusting of loose powder to set it for the day and have been very pleased with the results. It is truly translucent, so those needing to cover skin imperfections will be disappointed.

Welcome and Promotions
David Storvick retired at the end of the 2004 school year after a career of 47 years at the University of Minnesota. David received his Ph.D. in 1956 from the University of Michigan, and after a short time at Iowa State University moved to the University of Minnesota in 1957, achieving the rank of Full Professor in 1966. During his many years of service he was Associate Head of the School of Mathematics 1964-70, and he later served as Associate Dean of the Institute of Technology (1979-83) and Interim Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of IT (1993-94). He was also Interim Director of the Gray Freshwater Biological institute in the College of Biological Sciences 1989-90.
A dinner was held on April 29, 2004 honoring both David Storvick and Morty Harris, who was retiring at the same time (see issue 10 of this Newsletter). The dinner was held in the West Bank Bistro and over 60 people attended. We were entertained by several speakers, including Larry Markus and Jim Serrin, who reminisced about David's long career and spoke on his mathematical contributions in analysis, dwelling particularly on his expertise with the Feynman integral. It was an extremely pleasant occasion, providing the opportunity to meet colleagues and acquaintances not just from the Mathematics Department but from other departments and from outside the University. As has become the custom for such occasions, Walter Littman served as master of ceremonies.
Leane Hewitt, the department's Administrative Director, retired in December 2004 after 35 years of dedicated service. She joined the department in 1969 at a youthful age as a Secretary and held a number of key positions during her career. With her skill and judgment, as well as her thorough understanding of university procedures and her attention to detail, Leane became as close to indispensable as any single individual can ever be and set a standard of service that most of us can only aspire to. She will certainly be missed professionally.
We will also miss Leane's old-fashioned friendliness and courtesy, of the kind often associated nowadays with another, less hurried era. She always had a friendly greeting for everyone she would run into in the hallways, and without doubt all members of the department view her as a very good friend. Leane's spouse, Jim Hewitt, received his Ph.D. in mathematics here in 1979 and teaches nearby at Inver Grove Heights Community College. She and Jim have shared a life-long passion for running and Leane finished many marathons over the years, clocking some enviable times.
This year's Faculty Retreat dinner, December 1, 2004, in the Mississippi Room of Coffman Memorial Union also provided a suitable occasion to recognize Leane for her dedicated service. The Head of the School of Mathematics, Professor Gray, as well as a number of colleagues took the opportunity to express their appreciation.
Although the department presented Leane with a hardwood rocking chair bearing the University's emblem, it would be naive to assume that she will use it much any day soon. Rather, we wish her and Jim many active years enjoying their varied interests, and, as runners might say, happy running, Leane!
We note the resignation of Assistant Professor Wojciech Chacholski. Woitek joined the School of Mathematics in 2002, coming from Yale University. He specialized in algebraic topology, specifically in the areas around homotopy theory and model categories. Both he and his wife Sandra Di Rocco have permanent positions in mathematics at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm,Sweden. We note that during his short stay here, Chacholski played an active role in bringing very interesting visitors to our department.
This year saw considerable changes in our computer system staff. Our computer manager, Steve Winckelman, accepted the position of Program Director for the Law School's computer system's office. Steve joined the School of Math in the fall of 1995 and guided the continual expansion of our computer facilities since then.
The department Head Professor Gray commented as follows:"Steve is a very talented individual and was instrumental in building our system to what it is today. He will truly be missed and we wish him the best of luck in his new position."
In addition to operating system, hardware and software issues, Steve's expertise and ingenuity were often needed in a wide range of areas, including upgrading our network and building computer classroom labs in a cost-effective manner. We are fortunate that he was able to attract very talented staff to the School of Mathematics who will carry on the development of our computing system in the future.
The School of Mathematics has been fortunate to enjoy Paula Dostert's creativity and dedication to provide quality service to students and faculty for 15 years. Often the first person of contact for questions and problems, Paula's wealth of knowledge and insight has been very valued and much appreciated. She leaves a legacy of well organized records and systems that provides a lasting testament to her substantial abilities and contributions. Most of all, Paula will be remembered for her hunger for adventure and growth. Such stories as performing tango dances, working part time for an airline at the airport, traveling to London on a shoestring, taking a helicopter ride in the Badlands, driving down Pike's Peak while wondering if brakes will hold, and attending and volunteering at personal growth conventions will be missed. March 25th was Paula's last day on staff in the department. Paula is moving to San Diego to fulfill a life-long dream of living by the ocean. Warm wishes go with her and an awareness she will succeed in this newest adventure.

Professional football players are generally portrayed through their media interviews as a little quiet, sometimes sullen and almost always guarded, so it's nice to see young lads acting like exactly that within the confines of their clubs.
Liverpool's players have this season been issued a challenge to see who can do the most keep-ups with a tennis ball, and it is entertaining to see them take rather seriously at times the task which hardly compares with the pressures of Premier League football!
Current top scorer Luis Suarez is the star name on the field for the Reds and has left some of the country's top defenders bamboozled at times this year, but his attempts to challenge the highest scorers in the LFC keepy-uppy challenge was not quite on the same level.
During his first few attempts Suarez was in danger of recording the lowest score yet this season, currently jointly held by winger Oussama Assaidi and reserve forward Krisztian Adorjan, who both attained only 15 consecutive touches of the tennis ball before it touched the floor.
Suarez improved with his final efforts to push himself a little higher up the rankings—but he certainly didn't trouble current leader Jordan Henderson, who managed 77 keep-ups in his impressive attempt.
Four other youngsters also managed more than 50, with Dani Pacheco, Raheem Sterling, Suso and Adam Morgan all passing that milestone.
Suarez might not have hit the heights in this light-hearted group competition, but as long as he keeps adding to his 21 goals this season then it is unlikely his boss or fans will be particularly bothered—though his teammates might well find the time to give him a little good-natured stick.

NEWARK - Voters in Newark head to the polls in less than three months to choose who will replace Sen. Cory Booker as mayor, and the two remaining candidates are fighting to distinguish themselves.
One of those running, Councilman Ras Baraka, says he's already proven the naysayers wrong. "A lot of folks didn't think we'd be able to be here today, 90 days out, this short," he says.
Baraka says the endorsements and campaign money are pouring in, but apparently not everyone is a fan. On Sunday, his tour bus was set ablaze outside campaign headquarters. The Essex County Prosecutor's Office has impounded the bus, and investigators are examining surveillance video from nearby shops.

Baraka says he has no idea who's behind it. "To the point where we call names, I've never done that," Baraka says. "I don't intend on doing that and the people of Newark deserve better than that. And more importantly our issues in this city are too deep and systemic for us to waste time on things like that."
The candidate has repeated his call to return local control of the Newark Public Schools District to the parents. Currently, it is one of a handful of districts run by the state.
"Ultimately, the people, their democratic rights are being taken away in the city of Newark," Baraka says. "And we should have a right to govern our own schools like other Americans, like other New Jerseyans."
News 12 New Jersey will speak later this week to Baraka's opponent, former state Assistant Attorney General Shavar Jeffries.

Corn Boats with Zucchini and Pepper Jack Cheese
Grilling food in, or on, a "vessel" (corn husks, grape leafs, wood, banana peels) is not only a fun way to mix up your grill repertoire, it is easy, forgiving and yet one more reason to ditch the kitchen oven and get outside.
A lot of times, I strive to put the entire meal on the grill. By doing this and using a vessel, there is a lot less work and a lot more leeway. If I'm individually grilling root vegetables, I have to worry turning, burning and spacing. If I'm grilling in a vessel, I can easily balance my time by working the vessel over the different zones of the fire. No muss, no fuss. Plus, the presentation is pretty cool.
Corn Boats with Zucchini & Pepper Jack Cheese
Adapted from Epicurious
4 ears corn, unhusked
2 T olive oil
1 zucchini, cut into 1/3-inch dice
1 cup red onion, finely chopoed
1 cup coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese with hot peppers
2 T crushed corn tortilla chips
The first step is to make the corn boats. Take an ear of corn and pull back approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches worth of husk strips to expose the corn kernels. Remove the strip.
With the corn exposed, remove the cob from the husk by snapping the bottom. When done, you should be left with the "boat". Toot toot.
With one of the discarded pieces of husk, tie the end of the husks together. This is part presentation and part insurance policy so that the boat doesn't separate and its passengers parish over hot coals.
Cut the kernels off the cob and save. In a medium skillet over medium high heat, add oil. Once heated, saute the zucchini until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt.
Add the corn kernels and onion to the skillet and saute for about 4 minutes. Then, cover the skillet and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Once tender, transfer the corn and onion to the bowl with the zucchini. Season with salt.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add in the cheese.
Preheat the grill for indirect medium heat. Spoon the zucchini and cheese mixture into the boats.
If you have some left over, like I did, a small cast iron skillet can easily help share the load.
When ready to grill, sprinkle the filled husks with the tortilla chips and then cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated.
Since this was an easy, one grill meal, it made sense to use a vessel for the protein, too. There is no easier or better "vessel" for fish than a plank of wood. Of course, if I was stranded at sea, I would certainly prefer a boat over a plank. However, when stranded on my grill, I'll take both.
For the cod, I changed out the fish from my planked haddock with lemon zest tartar sauce.
Everything fit on the grill and took about the same amount of time to cook. It's a "one grill" meal that lives up to its easy philosophy. We enjoyed the corn boats so much, we had them two nights in a row. With corn still everywhere, it was nice to have it presented in a slightly different fashion. Better yet, the boat "system" lends itself to a ton of variations. Add in some peppers, tomatoes, different cheese, or even other root veg. The possibilities are endless. Hell, you can even name/christen them if you fancy.
Next time you get ready to pitch those corn husks, don't think trash, think boat...and get stuffing.

nice change from the usual crust for chique; nice and crisp. I had a little broccoli I had to use up so i threw it in too and had to use cheddar, it was the only cheese i had and I use 2% milk instead of cream. It all turned out great, thanks for posting, it was a great guideline! I will try it with the proper ingredients next time.
I'm rating this 4 stars because I did really love the idea of a simple potato crust... easy and tasty. However I really think the measurements are off on this recipe. I ended up having to nearly double the cream / egg mixture when poured over the cheese. I used half and half instead of cream, just to lighten it up a bit. It baked for about 35 minutes when the knife finally came out sorta clean. My husband and I enjoyed the flavors... we used chopped up deli ham and mild cheddar cheese... but we both agreed there was WAAAY too much cheese. Maybe because I used "finely" shredded cheese, 2 cups made the whole quiche mostly cheese. My husband actually said "This is like eating fondue". So next time I will probably half the cheese and double the egg mixture. Thanks for posting though... I'll be sure to make again. Love the crust!
I used turkey ham, and next time I'll probably add a little more than a cup to make it meatier. Really good!

Q: I recently cut my finger and had nine stitches.The stitches are out and my finger has healed, but there remains some scar tissue that is noticeable and irritating to me. Will this last forever?
A: Your symptoms likely will improve over the next nine to 12 months. Scar tissue tends to remodel over time. If your wound has healed without infection or other problems, improvement is even more likely. You might have some minor persistent discomfort and stiffness.
Q: I keep reading that drinking a certain amount of water can increase your metabolism and help with weight loss.Is this true? How much do you need to drink to effect change?
A: The body uses water for many functions, including metabolism. Some studies done several years ago showed a slight effect on the use of calories from increased water intake. However, this data has not been verified, so there is no evidence that increasing your water intake will help with metabolism.
Current research does show that drinking water or any fluid before a meal will decrease food intake. Two to three cups before the meal have shown to result in weight loss. This is simply the effect of water on the volume the stomach can hold and the feeling of fullness.

text: Hi all, I've written backup scripts where for a snapshot LV on a iSCSI target dynamically an iSCSI LUN and according multipath devices are created. To properly clean them up and create them, multipathd is restarted quite a fiew times in the script. When doing this manually this works very well, and you see the multipath devices being created and disappear again. Running the same from cron, leads to a lot times where the devices are not cleaned up, preventing them to be created again for the second run, which then fails. I seem to have messages like "backup_DomU: map in use". This is in SLES11SP1 with multipath-tools-0.4.8-40.25.1. What could I do to get this running properly from cron as well? Thank you, B.

Prostate Cancer Health Center
April 6, 2004 -- Frequent ejaculation, whether it happens during sexual intercourse, masturbation, or a dream, isn't likely to increase men's risk of prostate cancer. In fact, new research suggests it may have the opposite effect and help protect the prostate.
Researchers say it's too soon to recommend that men change their sexual habits in an attempt to lower their prostate cancer risk. However, the study raises interesting questions about the role of ejaculation and sexual behavior in the development of prostate cancer.
Previous studies have linked frequent sexual activity to a higher risk of prostate cancer, but this new, large study found ejaculation frequency was not associated with prostate cancer risk except in the highest category. Men who ejaculated most often actually had a 33% lower lifetime risk of prostate cancer, and this relationship grew stronger as men grew older.
For example, men who reported 21 or more ejaculations per month in their 40s had a 32% lower risk of prostate cancer later in life compared with those who reported between four and seven ejaculations per month. Men who reported more than 21 monthly ejaculations in the previous year had a 51% lower risk of prostate cancer.
Overall, an average of 21 or more ejaculations a month during a man's lifetime decreased the risk of prostate cancer later in life by 33%. And each increase of three ejaculations per week during a man's lifetime was associated with a 15% reduction in prostate cancer risk.
Ejaculation May Lower Prostate Cancer Risk
The findings, published in the April 7 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, are based on data collected from nearly 30,000 predominately white men aged 46 to 81.
At the start of the study, men provided information on ejaculation frequency in their 20s, 40s, and in the previous year (1991). Ejaculation frequency included sexual intercourse, masturbation, and nighttime ejaculations that can occur during sleep. The men were then monitored for eight years.
Researchers found most categories of ejaculation frequency were unrelated to prostate cancer risk. But when they looked at men in the highest category of ejaculation frequency, they found evidence of a protective effect.

While Hajj books are usually about the rituals of pilgrimage, few, if any, address the loss of voluntary spiritual practices that had been carried out for centuries in Makka and Madina up until the time the Hajj was overseen by the Ottoman Sultans.
In this personal account of his Hajj journey, the author laments the loss of the celebration and joy of visiting the Blessed Holy Prophet in Medina and the consequent impoverishment of grace that once accompanied the pilgrim in his heavenly journey to the House of God. His hunt for blessings while on this sacred journey culminates with a chapter that addresses some of the most controversial topics that confront the pilgrims in the Two Holy Sanctuaries.
Complemented by scholarly footnotes, this moving narrative revives the classical tradition that is missing more and more from modern texts and even rebuked when practised, due to the formalism that now affects part of the Muslim world.
Containing over 20 rare images, photographs and manuscripts, From the Two Holy Sanctuaries is the first publication of its kind and will serve as an essential reference for anyone about to embark upon the Hajj wishing to connect themselves with the spirit of the early generations (salaf).

text: Chinas most powerful military leader, in an unusual public statement, last week ordered military forces to prepare for combat, as Chinese warships deployed to waters near disputed islands and anti-Japan protests throughout the country turned violent.Protests against the Japanese governments purchase of three privately held islands in the Senkakus chain led to mass street protests, the burning of Japanese flags, and attacks on Japanese businesses and cars in several cities. Some carried signs that read Kill all Japanese, and Fight to the Death over disputed islands. One sign urged China to threaten a nuclear strike against Japan.Gen. Xu Caihou, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, considered the most senior military political commissar, said Friday that military forces should be prepared for any possible military combat, state run Xinhua news agency reported.Heightened tensions over the Senkakus come as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta arrived in China Monday.Panetta, in comments made in Japan shortly before traveling to China, said, We are concerned by the demonstrations, and we are concerned by the conflict that is taking place over the Senkaku islands.The message I have tried to convey is we have to urge calm and restraint on all sides, he said, noting any provocation could produce a blow up.Panetta repeated the U.S. position that it is neutral in the dispute over Japans Senkaku islands, a small chain of islets located south of Okinawa and north of Taiwan. But he also reaffirmed the U.S. defense commitment to Japan, a treaty ally.We stand by our treaty obligations, Panetta said, echoing a similar commitment made during a 2010 standoff between Beijing and Tokyo over the Senkakus. Theyre longstanding, and that has not changed.China claims the islands as its territory and calls them the Diaoyu islands.Last week, following the Japanese governments purchase of three of the Senkakus from private Japanese owners, six Chinese maritime security ships were deployed near the Senkaku islands, further heightening tensions.

Research Activities, November-December 2013
Research Briefs
Boatright, D.H., Byyny, R.L., Hopkis, E., and others (2013). "Validation of rules to predict emergent surgical intervention in pediatric trauma patients." (AHRQ grant HS19464). Journal of the American College of Surgeons 216, pp. 1094-1102.
Trauma centers use guidelines to determine when a trauma surgeon is needed in the emergency department on patient arrival. This study tested a decision rule from Loma Linda University and found it to be insufficiently accurate to recommend its routine use; however, the study had a small number of outcomes.
Cronholm, P.F., Shea, J.A., Werner, R.M., and others (2013). "The patient centered medical home: Mental models and practice culture driving the transformation process." (AHRQ grant HS19150). Journal of General Internal Medicine 28(9), pp. 1195-1201.
The authors characterize the key constructs describing role transformation related to the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) paradigm that participants associated with perceptions of improved clinical care in a large multi-payer PCMH demonstration project. They concluded that practice redesign focusing on patient-centered care and improved quality requires shifts in practice culture and the mental models of individuals.
Davidoff, A.J., Zuckerman, I.H., Pandya, N., and others (2013). "A novel approach to improve health status measurement in observational claims-based studies of cancer treatment and outcomes." Journal of Geriatric Oncology 4, pp. 157-165. Reprints (AHRQ Publication No.13-R038) are available from AHRQ.
The researchers developed and provided initial validation for a multivariate, claims-based prediction model for disability status (DS) among older adults. Their results demonstrate that health care service use indicators from administrative claims can be used to predict DS, and that the resulting predicted value is associated with survival in an older adult Medicare population.
Gawron, A.J., and Pandolfino, J.E. (2013). "Ambulatory reflux monitoring in GERD—which test should be performed and should therapy be stopped?" (AHRQ grant T32 HS00078). Current Gastroenterology Reports 15, p. 316-318.
This review focuses on the limitations of the current diagnostic paradigm and highlights how reflux testing can be helpful in the diagnosis and management of patients with poor response to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. The researchers conclude that ambulatory reflux monitoring, when used appropriately, is useful in distinguishing etiologies driving a lack of response to PPI therapy.
Glance, L.G., Dick, A.W., Osler, T.M., and others (2012). "The association between nurse staffing and hospital outcomes in injured patients." (AHRQ grant HS16737). BMC Health Services Research 12(247), [online only] 8 pp.
Replacing care by registered nurses (RNs) of patients at level I and level II trauma centers with care by licensed practical nurses (LPNs) can result in increased rates of mortality and sepsis in these patients, the researchers report. An increase of 1 percent in LPN hours per patient day (hppd) compared to total nursing hppd (LPN hours plus RN hours) was associated in the study with a statistically significant 4 percent increased risk of mortality.
Goode, A.P., Carey, T.S., and Jordan, J.M. (2013). "Low back pain and lumbar spine osteoarthritis: How are they related?" (AHRQ grant HS19479). Current Rheumatology Reports 15, pp. 305-310.
The relationship between low back pain and lumbar spine osteoarthritis (OA), both very common conditions, is complex and poses many clinical and research challenges. Specific conservative treatments for spine degeneration have not been established. However, there is emerging interest in the use of exercise therapy because of some moderate benefits in treating chronic low back pain.
Govindarajan, P., Dickert, N.W., Meeker, M., and others (2013). "Emergency research: Using exception from informed consent, evaluation of community consultations." (AHRQ grant HS17965). Academic Emergency Medicine 20, pp. 98-103.
These researchers assessed the views of community consultation (CC) meeting attendees regarding the CC process, their understanding and views of exception from informed consent research relating to the specific research trial under discussion, and their level of trust in physician-investigators. Overall, community members had relatively high levels of support for the study and trust in physician-investigators.
Hartling, L., Milne, A., Hamm, M. P., and others (2013). "Testing the Newcastle Ottawa Scale showed low reliability between individual reviewers." (AHRQ Contract No. 290-07-1002). Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 66, pp. 982-993.
The researchers assessed the reliability of the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) for cohort studies between individual raters. It also assessed the validity of the NOS by examining whether effects vary according to quality. They found that interrater reliability between reviewers ranged from poor to substantial, but was poor to fair for most domains. No associations were found between individual quality domains or overall quality score and effect estimates.
Huang, S.S., Septimus, E., Kleinman, K., and others (2013). "Targeted versus universal decolonization to prevent ICU infection." (AHRQ and CDC cooperative agreement). New England Journal of Medicine 368(24), pp. 2255-2265.
The researchers tested three ways to prevent intensive care unit infection: targeted decolonization, universal decolonization, and MRSA screening and isolation. They found that, in routine practice, universal decolonization was more effective than either of the other two methods in reducing rates of MRSA clinical isolates and bloodstream infection from any pathogen.
Huesch, M.D., and Doctor, J.N. (2013). "Cesarean delivery on maternal request" [Letter to the Editor]. (AHRQ grant HS21868). Journal of the American Medical Association 310(9), p. 978.
In response to the article by J. Ecker on cesarean delivery on maternal request, the authors raise several larger concerns, including the importance of parsimonious medicine, personal accountability, and the risk of spillovers to other physician decisions in other patients. They point to the difficulty in upholding a standard of adherence to medical indications in the more complex intrapartum situation, while relaxing those standards in the simpler pre-partum situation.
Hundt, A.S., Adams, J.A., Schmid, J.A., and others (2013). "Conducting an efficient proactive risk assessment prior to CPOE implementation in an intensive care unit." (AHRQ grant HS15274). International Journal of Medical Informatics 82(1), pp. 25-38.
The researchers describe the use of a proactive risk assessment (PRA) prior to implementation of computerized physician order entry in an intensive care unit. Prioritizing the vulnerabilities allowed those with the potentially most negative consequences to be corrected prior to or promptly after implementation. Results from the various evaluations demonstrate the value of developing an efficient PRA method that meets organizational and contextual requirements and constraints.
Johnson, T.J., and King, C. (2013). "An 11-year-old girl with right-sided weakness secondary to cerebral abscess." (AHRQ grant T32 HS17587). Pediatric Emergency Care 29(3), pp. 360-363.
This case report reviews the clinical presentation, evaluation, and management of a child with a brain abscess, an unusual but potentially life-threatening condition.
Jonnalagadda, S.D., Del Fiol, G., Medlin, R., and others (2013). "Automatically extracting sentences from Medline citations to support clinicians' information needs." (AHRQ grant HS18352). Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association 20, pp. 995-1000.
The researchers assessed the feasibility of automatically generating knowledge summaries for a particular clinical topic composed of relevant sentences extracted from Medline citations. Their approach, combining information retrieval and semantic extraction techniques, was tested in two case studies on the treatment alternatives for depression and Alzheimer's disease.
Kistler, C.E., and Goldstein, A.O. (2012, December). "The risk of adverse cardiovascular events from varenicline balanced against the benefits in mortality from smoking cessation" (AHRQ grant HS19468). Nicotine & Tobacco Research 14(12), pp. 1391-1393.
A meta-analysis published in 2011 reported a higher annual rate of adverse cardiovascular events (ACEs)—but not mortality—in smokers given the smoking cessation drug varenicline than those given placebo (1.06 vs. 0.82 percent), but the authors of a new commentary on the meta-analysis say that varenicline (currently the most effective smoking cessation drug) will actually save lives.
Kruse, G.B., Polsky, D., Stuart, E.A., and others (2012, December). "The impact of hospital pay-for-performance on hospital and Medicare costs." (AHRQ grant HS18409). HSR: Health Services Research 47(6), pp. 2118–2134.
For patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), their hospital's participation in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' pay-for-performance demonstration program (260 hospitals) did not significantly affect hospital revenues, costs, and margins, or Medicare payments (for the index hospitalization and 1 year after admission) when compared with AMI patients treated at 780 matched, nonparticipating hospitals.
Lannon, C.M., and Peterson, L.E. (2013). "Pediatric collaborative improvement networks: Background and overview." (AHRQ grant HS21114). Pediatrics 131, pp. S189-S195.
The authors describe how pediatric collaborative improvement networks can serve to close the quality gap and accelerate the translation of evidence into practice, resulting in improved care and outcomes for children. The specific topics discussed include: developing a framework for subspecialty maintenance of certification, the Children's Oncology Group, additional support for the value of the network model, and additional needs of mature networks.
Lannon, C.M., and Miles, P.V. (2013). "Pediatric collaborative improvement networks: Bridging quality gaps to improve health outcomes." (AHRQ grant HS21114). Pediatrics 131, pp. S187-S188.
This article introduces a group of papers that summarize and expand on several key presentations from a national meeting on Collaborative Improvement Networks in Children's Healthcare sponsored by the American Board of Pediatrics Foundation.
Lannon, C.M., Miles, P.V., and Stockman, J.A. (2013). "The path forward: Collaborative networks and the future for children's health care." (AHRQ grant HS21114). Pediatrics 131, pp. S226-S227.
The authors discuss the value of collaborative networks for the future of children's health care and the importance of accelerating the spread of this model. Various challenges are also mentioned, such as the lack of robust evidence in certain areas to develop recommended care processes, the need for more basic research, the usefulness of a data infrastructure, and the need for financial support for transactional costs such as human subjects review.
Margolis, P.A., Peterson, L.E., and Seid, M. (2013). "Collaborative chronic care networks (C3Ns) to transform chronic illness care." (AHRQ grants HS2111, HS20024). Pediatrics 131, pp. S219-S223.
Given that the overall U.S. system of chronic illness care does not work well, a new paradigm is needed: a Collaborative Chronic Care Network (C3N). A C3N is a network-based production system that harnesses the collective intelligence of patients, clinicians, and researchers and distributes the production of knowledge, information, and know-how over large groups of people. The authors also discuss the social, technical, and scientific operating systems and policy implications.
Miles, P.V., Conway, P.H., and Pawlson, G. (2013). "Physician professionalism and accountability: The role of collaborative improvement networks." (AHRQ grant HS21114). Pediatrics 131, pp. S204-S209.
The authors discuss the need for physicians to demonstrate professionalism and accountability in a different way that includes quality and clinical outcomes, but also resource utilization, appropriateness, and patient-centeredness of recommended care, and the responsibility to improve systems of care. Physician participation in pediatric collaborative improvement networks will be an important part of this process of transforming care.
Miller, M. (2013). "Roles for children's hospitals in pediatric collaborative improvement networks." (AHRQ grant HS21114). Pediatrics 131, pp. S215-S218.
The author believes that children's hospitals and their associated subspecialty clinics are uniquely positioned to achieve significant outcomes and cost savings through coordinated quality-improvement efforts. Large-scale pediatric collaborative improvement networks can link children's hospitals in networks to build the evidence for what works for children.
Mody, L., Bradley, S.F., and Huang, S.S. (2013). "Keeping the 'home' in nursing home." (AHRQ grant HS19979). JAMA Internal Medicine 173(10), pp. 833-834.
To maintain a home-like environment and enhance the quality of life for older long-stay residents in nursing homes (NHs), NH residents are being given greater autonomy in determining their daily care and other activities. Close relationships between residents, families, and staff are encouraged. The author discusses the dichotomy between these valuable changes and the need to reduce healthcare-associated complications in higher-acuity short-stay residents.
Mueller, S.K., Kripalani, S., Stein, J., and others (2013, August). "A toolkit to disseminate best practices in inpatient medication reconciliation: Multi-Center Medication Reconciliation Quality Improvement Study (MARQUIS)." (AHRQ grant HS19598). Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety 39(8), pp. 371-382.
Medication errors are common during transitions of care such as those that occur at hospital admission and discharge. Medication reconciliation is a strategy to reduce the occurrence of medication discrepancies than may occur during care transitions. The authors describe the development of a toolkit of the best-practice recommendations for medication reconciliation and a multihospital quality improvement project in which each site adapts and implements the tools for its own environment.
Nuckols, T.K., Escarce, J.J., and Asch, S.M. (2013). "The effects of quality of care on costs: A conceptual framework." (AHRQ grant HS17594). Milbank Quarterly 91(2), pp. 316-353.
To describe how care quality influences cost, the authors developed the Quality-Cost Framework, drawing from the work of Donabedian, the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method, reports by the Institute of Medicine, and other sources. The Framework describes how health-related quality of care (aspects of quality that influence health status) affects health care and other costs.
Nundy, S., Razi, R.R., Dick, J.J., and others (2013). "A text messaging intervention to improve heart failure self-management after hospital discharge in a largely African-American population: Before-after study." (AHRQ grant T32 HS00084). Journal of Medical Internet Research 15(3), p. e53.
This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a text message-based (SMS: short message service) intervention in a largely African-American population with acute decompensated heart failure and explore its effects on self-management. Among the participants who completed the study, there was a high rate of satisfaction and preliminary evidence of improvements in heart failure self-management.
Olfson, M., and Marcus, S.C. (2013, June). "Decline in placebo-controlled trial results suggests new directions for comparative effectiveness research." (AHRQ grant HS21112). Health Affairs 32(6), pp. 1116-1125.
In their investigation of placebo-controlled trials reported in four medical journals between 1966 and 2013, the authors found a significant decline in average effect size or average difference in efficacy over placebo. On average, recently studied treatments offered only small benefits in efficacy over placebo.
Ozen, A., and Balasubramaniam, H. (2013). "The impact of case mix on timely access to appointments in a primary care group practice." (AHRQ grant HS18795). Health Care Management Science 16, pp. 101-118.
The authors quantify the impact of the size and case-mix of physician panels on the ability of a multi-provider practice to provide adequate patient access to appointments. They propose an integer non-linear programming formulation for redesigning panels that will allow practice managers to test various options and infer which options are the least disruptive to the group practice.
Simpson, L. (2013, June). "The adolescence of child health services research." (AHRQ grant HS19564). JAMA Pediatrics 167(6), pp. 509-510.
The author draws attention to three forces meriting particular attention for their potential to transform the conduct of child health services research: (1) the ever-expanding sources of data, particularly prospective, electronic clinical data, (2) the demand by research users for engagement throughout the life cycle of research, and (3) the need to develop better methods for understanding more quickly which innovations and improvement efforts are actually working.
Talbert-Slagle, K., Berg, D., and Bradley E.H. (2013). "Innovation spread lessons from HIV." (AHRQ grant HS17589). International Journal for Quality in Health Care 25(4), pp. 352-356.
Biology provides a model of successful spread in viruses, which have evolved to spread with maximum efficiency using minimal resources. The authors explore the molecular mechanisms of HIV spread and identify five steps that are also common to a recent example of spread in complex health systems, i.e., reduction in time to angioplasty for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. They then describe a new model of innovation spread, called AIDED, based on mixed-methods research but informed by the conceptual framework of HIV spread among cells.
You, W.B., Chandrasekaran, S., Sullivan, J., and Grobman, W. (2013). "Validation of a scoring system to identify women with near-miss maternal mortality." (AHRQ grant T32 HS00078). American Journal of Perinatology 30, pp. 21-24.
The researchers' objective is to validate a five-factor scoring system (originally developed by Geller et al.) that identifies women with high risk for significant obstetric morbidity. Using data from 815 cases, they found that the scoring system produced similar results to those obtained at its initial development. It also demonstrated acceptable sensitivity and specificity for identifying near-miss morbidity.
Yu, Z., Liu, L. Bravata, D.M., and others (2013). "A semiparametric recurrent events model with time-varying coefficients." (AHRQ grant HS20263). Statistics in Medicine 32, pp. 1016-1026.
The authors consider a recurrent events model with time-varying coefficients motivated by two clinical applications (stroke and episodes of wheezing among young children). They use a random effects (Gaussian frailty) model to describe the intensity of recurrent events. Their model can accommodate both time-varying and time-constant coefficients.

How I Train
I workout mostly at a CrossFit Affiliate
I have a coach who determines my programming
I do the majority of my training at CrossFit Bolt in Coppell Texas! My coach- Matt McCraney is for sure the best coach I've had in any kind of athletic activity. I train there three to four times a week and usually do one or two workouts at home, rarely ever do I train at a traditional gym.
My Athletic Background
I played youth or high school level sports
Pre-CrossFit I had played lacrosse for six years. Before lacrosse I played soccer and baseball.
My Experience With CrossFit
I began CrossFit with a coach (e.g. at an affiliate)
I have had a life changing experience due to CrossFit
Between quitting lacrosse and starting CrossFit I had a little less than a year of traditional training. At this point I had gained some muscle, but lost most of my speed and stamina. After a few months, my dad joined CrossFit Bolt. At the time he was pretty overweight and needed some serious help. With only a few weeks under his belt, he was already a changed man. So after seeing everything it did for him I decided to try out CrossFit for myself and was hooked after day one.
My Work/Rest Schedule
I usually only do 1 workout a day
I do multiple workouts in a day 1x a week
When first starting, I would do one WOD a day, three to four times a week. As of lately, i've made that two WODs in order to be in top competing condition!
How long have you been doing CrossFit?
2-4 years
This will be my third open!

International Shipping Companies Plead Guilty To Environmental Crimes
By Alexandra Hill, WBGO News
March 21, 2013
Two international shipping companies plead guilty today (Thursday) to illegally dumping waste from vessels that docked in local ports.
The case involved four ships that intentionally disposed of thousands of tons of oil waste and engine sludge in ocean waters. The ships visited ports in New Jersey, Delaware, and Northern California. The plea deal includes a $10 and a half million fine and 4 years probation. U. S. attorney Paul Fishman says this kind of flagrant disregard of the environment will not be tolerated.
"The department of justice estimates that routine and intentional discharge of waste oil and sludge result in eight times as much oil being dumped into the oceans every year as was spilled by the Exxon Valdez."
Fishman says over $2 million of the fine will go toward restoring and preserving shore areas devastated by Sandy. This is the largest settlement of its kind in New Jersey.

Celebrity Vegetarians Adopt Turkeys, Don't Eat Them
"Save a life this Thanksgiving, and join me in starting a new tradition by adopting a turkey instead of eating one through Farm Sanctuary's Adopt-A-Turkey Project." – Ellen DeGeneres, Farm Sanctuary's 2010 Adopt-A-Turkey Project spokesperson.
"Turkeys are among the most abused animals on earth. The horrors these smart, sensitive birds routinely endure behind closed doors on our nation's factory farms, all so that their tortured bodies can be the centerpiece of a holiday celebration about gratitude, are appalling and incongruent with most Americans' values of compassion." - John Salley, 4-time NBA Champion and wellness guru.
"After spending time with the rescued turkeys at Farm Sanctuary's shelter and seeing how similar they are to my furry companion animals at home, I knew I needed to do everything in my power to protect these friendly and curious birds from the daily pain and suffering they endure on factory farms." – Ginnifer Goodwin, Farm Sanctuary's 2009 Adopt-A-Turkey Project spokesperson.
"If people knew how personable and fun to hang out with turkeys are and if they knew the horrors that turkeys on factory farms go through for their entire lives, I think fewer people would want to take part in supporting factory farming. Honoring turkeys who have been abused by the system, as they embark on their new life on the sanctuary, is a great thing to do." – Daniela Sea
"Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and express our gratitude for all that we have to be thankful for. In the true spirit of this holiday, take a moment to think about the importance of all life. By choosing a vegetarian diet, every one of us can take part in ending the cruelty animals endure on factory farms. Like cats and dogs, turkeys are intelligent, social, and sensitive beings who want to live. Give thanks this holiday and save a life." - Persia White
"There are many ways of giving thanks. Eating turkeys doesn't have to be one of them. Healthy and delicious vegetarian options now make compassionate holidays easier than ever. This Thanksgiving, join with my family in starting a new tradition that celebrates life and promotes peace for all beings." - Corey Feldman
"Our family holidays always include our animals. On Thanksgiving, we love to walk around our farm and visit with our rescued pigs, goats, horses, emus and many other rescued animals. We give them all special vegetables that day, and the whole family enjoys a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner. We know that the animals are giving thanks that day, and we are also giving thanks for the joy they bring to our lives." – Noah Wyle
"Every living thing feels pain and should be protected from cruelty. Farm animals are no different." - Kim Basinger
"I became a vegetarian because when I ate that way I felt better physically, and I couldn't stand the idea that I was, in some small way, supporting the extreme cruelty of factory farming." - Casey Affleck
"I like to stuff myself at Thanksgiving, not turkeys. Save a life this holiday season … adopt a turkey instead of eating one." – Kevin Nealon
"We all oppose animal cruelty. But sometimes we forget that animals on farms suffer and feel pain like all other animals. They, too, deserve to be protected from harm and cruelty." – Charlotte Ross
"Turkeys are misunderstood. Once I adopted turkeys, I understood this large bird to be a great companion. Contrary to popular belief, they are sweet, kind and funny. My adopted girls filled my heart every day with joy." – Linda Blair

Nursing Shortage Bad and Getting Worse
Laramie, Wy – The Dean of the University of Wyoming's School of Nursing says the nursing shortage in the state is severe and getting worse. Doctor Pamela Clarke says as the population here ages it will strain nurses even further. She says at the hospital level the shortage can be felt because nurses often work overtime, which is hard on them and their families. Also, hospitals hire traveling nurses, which makes the cost of health care even more expensive.
Clarke says some people say the nursing shortage is the eight leading cause of death in hospitals.
A summit to discuss the shortage and working conditions will take place at the University of Wyoming September 15th and 16th.
