ACTION: Compliance with the HACCP system regulations and request for comment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is publishing this document to inform manufacturers of ready-to-eat livestock and poultry products of the Agency's views about the application of the hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) system regulations to contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. FSIS believes that the findings from testing a range of ready-to- eat products and information from investigations of outbreaks of listeriosis constitute changes that could affect an establishment's hazard analysis or alter the HACCP plan for affected products. Therefore, establishments must reassess their HACCP plans for ready-to- eat livestock and poultry products. If reassessment results in a determination that Listeria monocytogenes contamination is a food safety hazard reasonably likely to occur in the establishment's production process, then it is a type of microbiological contamination that must be addressed in a HACCP plan. In this document, FSIS is setting out several factors that it believes an establishment should consider when performing its reassessment. Also, FSIS is making guidance material available that establishments may find helpful. (See ADDRESSES). FSIS invites comments on the factors addressed in this document and on its guidance material. DATES: Comments may be submitted by July 26, 1999. ADDRESSES: Submit one original and two copies of written comments to FSIS Docket Clerk, Docket No. 99-025N, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service, Room 102, Cotton Annex, 300 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20250-3700. All comments submitted in response to this document will be available for public inspection in the Docket Clerk's office between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Guidance material is available from the Inspection Systems Development Division, FSIS, USDA, Room 202, Cotton Annex Building, 300 12th Street SW, Washington, DC 20250-3700, phone (202) 720-3219, Fax (202) 690-0824. The material is also available on the FSIS Homepage: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/index.htm FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel L. Engeljohn, Ph.D., Director, Regulations Development and Analysis Division, Food Safety and Inspection Service, Washington, DC 20250-3700; (202) 720-5627. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulatory Context The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) administers the regulatory program under the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.) to protect the health and welfare of consumers by preventing the distribution of livestock and poultry products that are unwholesome, adulterated, or misbranded. To further the goal of reducing the risk of foodborne illness from livestock and poultry products to the maximum extent possible, FSIS issued the Pathogen Reduction-Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Systems final rule on July 25, 1996 (61 FR 38806). These regulations require federally inspected establishments to take preventive and corrective measures at each stage of the food production process where food safety hazards occur. Part 416, the regulations on Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's), requires establishments to develop, implement, and maintain written SOP's for sanitation that describe daily procedures that are sufficient to prevent direct contamination or adulteration of products (Sec. 416.11 and 416.12(a)). Part 417, the regulations on HACCP systems, requires a hazard analysis to determine the food safety hazards reasonably likely to occur in the production process and identify the preventive measures an establishment can apply to control those hazards in the production of particular products (Sec. 417.2(a)). Whenever a hazard analysis reveals one or more such hazards, the regulations require the establishment to develop and implement a written HACCP plan, for each product, that includes specified controls for each hazard so identified (Sec. 417.2(b)(1) and (c)). When FSIS issued the Pathogen Reduction-HACCP Systems final rule, it responded to questions about the link between Sanitation SOP's and HACCP plans by noting the importance of Sanitation SOP's as tools for meeting existing sanitation responsibilities and preventing direct product contamination and adulteration and their appropriateness as near-term procedures--that is, for implementation prior to HACCP implementation and, in a sense, as a prerequisite to HACCP. In response to concerns about redundancy, the Agency noted that a sanitation procedure incorporated into a validated HACCP plan need not be duplicated in the establishment's Sanitation SOP's. FSIS also anticipated that some Sanitation SOP procedures, such as those addressing pre-operational cleaning of facilities, equipment, and utensils were likely to remain in an establishment's Sanitation SOP's. (61 FR 38834.) The HACCP system regulations require an official establishment to develop and implement a written HACCP plan whenever a hazard analysis reveals one or more food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur in the production process ((Sec. 417.2(a), (b)(1), and (c)). Paragraph (a)(1) of Sec. 417.2 specifies the purpose of a hazard analysis: ``to determine the food safety hazards reasonably likely to occur in the production process and identify the preventive measures the establishment can apply to control those hazards.'' Ten potential hazard areas, including microbiological contamination, are listed to guide establishments in this analysis (Sec. 417.2(a)(3)). Section 417.2(a)(1) also provides that a food safety hazard is reasonably likely to occur if a prudent establishment would establish controls because the hazard historically has occurred, or because there is a reasonable possibility that it will occur in the particular type of product being processed, in the absence of those controls. The likelihood that a potential food safety hazard will occur in the production process for a particular [[Page 28352]] product at a given location, and the identification and adequacy of preventive measures to control a likely hazard, must be determined by each establishment. Obviously, conditions may well change over time. For this reason, the HACCP system regulations require every establishment to reassess HACCP plan adequacy at least annually and whenever any changes occur that could affect the underlying hazard analysis or alter the HACCP plan (Sec. 417.4(a)(3)). When reassessment reveals that a plan no longer meets the requirements for the contents of a HACCP plan, the establishment must modify the plan immediately (Sec. 417.4(a)(3)). Listeria Monocytogenes Listeria monocytogenes is a type of pathogenic bacteria often found in the intestines of healthy animals (including humans) and in the environments in which food producing animals are raised and processed (e.g., in soil, water, and vegetation and on the surfaces of equipment, floors, and walls). Therefore, food may be contaminated with this microorganism and, after cooking or other treatment to destroy the pathogen, may be recontaminated. Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious and sometimes fatal illness, for which pregnant women, newborns, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are at risk. The most common manifestation of listeriosis is meningitis. It also can cause miscarriages and stillbirths. Advances in molecular subtyping methods have improved scientists' ability to associate Listeria monocytogenes with particular products and to detect outbreaks of listeriosis. Since the late 1980's, FSIS and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have worked with food manufacturers to improve procedures for ensuring that ready-to-eat foods (i.e., products that may be consumed without any further cooking or other preparation) are free of Listeria monocytogenes. In addition, for the past decade, FSIS has conducted a microbiological testing program in which the Agency samples ready-to- eat livestock and poultry products, including cooked and fermented sausages, cooked corned beef, sliced ham and luncheon meats, beef jerky, cooked uncured poultry, and salads and spreads, in federally inspected establishments. (For the Agency's current testing program instructions, see FSIS Directive 10,240.2, Microbial Sampling of Ready- to-Eat Products Produced by Establishments Operating Under a HACCP System.) FSIS treats ready-to-eat products in which Listeria monocytogenes is found as adulterated under the FMIA or the PPIA (21 U.S.C. 453(g) or 601(m)). Between 1989 and 1993, the rate of illness from Listeria monocytogenes declined. Over the next several years, there did not appear to be any further decline, however, and since last fall, there has been an increase in the number of cases caused by a specific subtype--a previously rare ``E'' pattern--of Listeria monocytogenes. The Centers for Disease Control, U.S. Public Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), have reported 101 illnesses, 15 adult deaths and 6 stillbirths or miscarriages associated with this ``E'' pattern. Using methodological advances that provide more specific information about pathogens isolated from foods and humans, public health agencies have obtained information associating the ``E'' pattern subtype of Listeria monocytogenes with livestock and poultry products. FSIS currently is evaluating a range of measures, both short- and long-term, to improve public health protection against this pathogen. In aid of this evaluation, FSIS held a public meeting on February 10, 1999, at which research, regulation, and education activities along with industry and government procedures, were discussed. Controlling Listeria Monocytogenes Contamination FSIS is publishing this document to advise federally inspected establishments of the Agency's current position on one aspect of the public health strategy to deal with Listeria monocytogenes contamination and to provide an opportunity to comment on that position as FSIS continues to develop a comprehensive strategy. FSIS is concerned because some establishments have not reassessed their HACCP plans after recent outbreaks of listeriosis caused by contaminated ready-to-eat livestock and poultry products, and after some establishments have produced ready-to-eat products adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. If Listeria monocytogenes contamination is a food safety hazard reasonably likely to occur in an establishment's production process, then it must be addressed in a HACCP plan. It would not be sufficient to claim that the hazard is adequately dealt with in the establishment's Sanitation SOP. HACCP plan reassessment is necessary to determine whether the plan appropriately addresses this hazard. FSIS views investigations of recent outbreaks of listeriosis and findings of Listeria monocytogenes contamination, along with other information now available on the prevalence and persistence of this foodborne pathogen, as sufficient evidence that some establishments' present approach to the food safety hazard presented by ready-to-eat livestock food and poultry products adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes does not comply with part 417 requirements. Therefore, FSIS believes that Sec. 417.4(a)(3) requires that establishments reassess the HACCP plans that cover ready-to-eat livestock and poultry products. Put another way, the Agency does not see how--given the current record of contamination incidents and information now available on the prevalence and persistence of the microorganism, its ability to survive under adverse conditions, and the apparent susceptibility of some products to contamination--an establishment that produces a ready-to- eat product (other than one that is thermally processed-commercially sterile, in accordance with part 318, subpart G, or part 381, subpart X, of the regulations) could have confidence that, in operation, the HACCP plan for the product meets part 417 requirements. FSIS' conclusion addresses only the need for HACCP plan reassessment. FSIS cannot predict the likelihood that an establishment producing ready-to-eat products would be required under the regulations to incorporate, or alter, controls to prevent Listeria monocytogenes contamination in one or more HACCP plans as a result of plan reassessment. FSIS does believe, however, that given current knowledge, Listeria monocytogenes contamination should be considered to be reasonably likely to occur in the production of ready-to-eat livestock and poultry products, especially if an establishment has produced products adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, or if the establishment is producing one or more ready-to-eat products that are susceptible to Listeria monocytogenes contamination in an environment that is not known to be free of this pathogen. FSIS urges establishments that produce ready-to-eat livestock and poultry products to perform the reassessment of their HACCP plans within 30 days of the publication of this document. FSIS will instruct its inspection personnel to verify that reassessments were conducted. If an establishment does not reassess its HACCP plan in accord with this document, FSIS will evaluate the establishment's compliance with Part 417. [[Page 28353]] Set out below are factors that FSIS believes are relevant in determining whether Listeria monocytogenes contamination is a food safety hazard reasonably likely to occur in the production process and in identifying preventive measures that establishments can apply to control the hazard. Reassessments of HACCP plans should take these factors into account. FSIS is providing technical information and other Agency guidance material. (See ADDRESSES to obtain copies.) The Agency invites comments on this guidance material and the factors set out below. (1) Pathogen Levels in Starting Materials FSIS believes that it is crucial that each establishment know the characteristics of its starting materials and, in particular, keep itself informed about evidence of Listeria monocytogenes contamination of the raw materials or source of raw materials that the establishments use. (2) Validation of Lethality Treatment FSIS believes industry members must comply rigorously with the HACCP plan validation requirements of Sec. 417.4(a)(1), especially in ensuring that the establishment can successfully apply a scientifically appropriate lethality treatment under its commercial operating conditions (see 61 FR 38826-38827). Until the establishment demonstrates that it achieves the anticipated lethality effect under actual in-plant conditions, effectiveness is theoretical, and the plan is not validated. (3) Exposure to Contamination After Lethality Treatment The available evidence on the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in food processing environments appears to indicate an increased potential for the contamination of product after a food is processed to destroy pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, an establishment's reassessment of its HACCP plans needs to address such potential contamination. Establishments should account for finished product characteristics such as water activity, pH, and the presence or absence of one or more barriers that inhibit pathogen growth. The HACCP plan must incorporate any hazards identified by the reassessment. (4) Evidence of Product Contamination FSIS believes that any finding of Listeria monocytogenes in an establishment's ready-to-eat product, whether in government or industry test results, is substantial, and perhaps conclusive, evidence that Listeria monocytogenes contamination is a food safety hazard that is reasonably likely to occur in its production process for that product. Therefore, in the event of such a finding, FSIS' position is as follows. If the establishment's HACCP plan does not already provide for the control of Listeria monocytogenes, and absent substantial, scientifically supportable reasons, that HACCP plan must be modified to address the Listeria monocytogenes hazard and incorporate appropriate controls. If the establishment's HACCP plan does address and control for Listeria monocytogenes, the establishment must take the appropriate corrective actions in accord with the requirements of 9 CFR 417.3. FSIS inspection personnel will verify that the establishment has taken the necessary corrective actions. Done at Washington, DC, on May 19, 1999. Thomas J. Billy, Administrator.

Kirkpatrick: Sequestration will hurt Grand Canyon, schools, tribes
WASHINGTON – This morning, U.S. Representative Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., gave a 5-minute speech on the House floor about the need to prevent reckless sequestration cuts that will harm Arizona's District One and our nation. Kirkpatrick cited concerns about the impact on national parks such as the Grand Canyon, local jobs, education/impact aid and tribal health care.
"The voters sent us to Congress because they want solutions, but reckless, across-the-board cuts are not solutions," Kirkpatrick said in the speech. "The consequences of these cuts are not TV sound bites – they are real. And they will hurt my district and our nation. … It will take both parties, working together, to put a stop to these reckless cuts."Click here or on the image to watch the video:

At UFC 148, middleweight legend Anderson Silva defended his title for a second time against Chael Sonnen. It was one of the most amazing spectacles in UFC history.
From the prefight trash talk, to the action-packed weigh-in, to the spectacular knee that was the beginning of the end for Chael, it was a night to remember.
With Chael out of the picture, the UFC desperately needed a new contender to Silva's crown. Tonight, they found one in Chris Weidman.
The prospect squared off with Mark Munoz in San Jose, a bout between two proud athletes with much more than pride on the line—a title shot was also up for grabs for whoever could take their game to the next level.
With his TKO win, Weidman snatched it.
As great as he was, Weidman wasn't the only fighter on the card. There were other winners, and some checked the "loss" column.
Let's run down the card and pick out the fighters who truly made their mark, for good or ill, on this free television broadcast.

Rihanna seems rather enthusiastic to give fans and followers an insight into her bedroom. She also seems to have a fetish of posting topless pics of not just herself but even of rumoured beau Chris Brown!
After recently posting a shirtless pic of Brown, Rihanna, now, shed her clothes to reveal a provocative topless snap of herself in black and white. She seems mid-way through putting on a shirt in the pic.
Rihanna, who is still denying that she and ex Chris Brown have recently rekindled their romance, had tweeted a photo of the shirtless singer with his face down in an unmade bed recently. The 24-year-old singer had captioned the picture "Dis n---a ... @BartObsessed", the New York Daily News reported.
In the photo, a man presumed to be Brown, lay sprawled across a Simpsons-themed bedspread with a Bart Simpson jacket and other cartoon paraphernalia strewn across the bed.
Though the man's face was obscured in the photo, his back was littered with tattoos not unlike those that the Turn Up the Music singer is known for.
Earlier in the day, Brown had also tweeted a photo of his back wearing a Bart Simpson jacket.
The photo came just a few days after the former couple, who made headlines after Brown beat up Rihanna when they were in a relationship, spent Thanksgiving together in Berlin, where Brown was performing a concert for his Carpe Diem tour.

John Boehner (R-Ohio) will run for reelection as House speaker after the November mid-term elections, saying Monday that he has more support from the GOP caucus than in 2012.
In an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer, Boehner said he intends to continue as speaker of the House despite ongoing rumors in Washington about his possible retirement several weeks after he bought a home in Florida.
But Boehner, 64, who has already declared his intention to run for reelection to his House seat, confirmed to the daily that he wants to remain speaker for two more years, if the Republicans, as he hopes, keep their majority in that body.
"I think I'm in better shape with my own caucus than I have ever been in the last three years," he told the newspaper.
Some Republican lawmakers have confirmed that Boehner managed to bolster his position within the Republican Party during the confrontation with the ultraconversative Tea Party over the partial government shutdown last October.
Boehner has had to fight against criticism and pressure from the Tea Party, which opposes the policies promoted by the Democrats and the agenda of President Barack Obama, a situation that has resulted in extreme polarization in Congress and the stagnation of bipartisan dialogue on important legislative issues.
Polls indicate that the Republicans will retain their majority in the House of Representatives and the Democrats will do the same in the Senate, but by smaller margins than at present. EFE

Evidence lacking on effectiveness of interventions for incarcerated adults with serious mental illness
Comparative Effectiveness Research
Treatment with antipsychotics other than clozapine appears to improve psychiatric symptoms more than clozapine in offenders with serious mental illness (SMI) who are incarcerated, concludes a new review of studies from AHRQ's Effective Health Care Program. For all other incarceration-based interventions, including pharmacologic therapies, cognitive therapy, and modified therapeutic community, evidence was insufficient to draw any conclusions.
Among incarcerated adults, 15 to 25 percent suffer from SMI, which includes schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, or major depression. Two interventions, discharge planning with Medicaid-application assistance and integrated dual disorder treatment programs, appear to be effective interventions compared with standard of care for seriously mentally ill offenders transitioning back to the community. More research is needed to increase the confidence in current low-evidence-strength findings and to address interventions and populations where evidence is lacking.
These findings can be found in the research review Interventions for Adults with Serious Mental Illness Who Are Involved with the Criminal Justice System at http://go.usa.gov/DXAG.

After starting the season 18-5, the New York Knicks have hit a road bump, playing under-.500 basketball since. What's the deal?
Well, injuries and age are knocking on the door for one thing. Take the Knicks' most recent loss against the Boston Celtics. New York was missing their starting point guard, some key role players and had a $20 million man coming off the bench for a couple quarters' worth.
Good fans, and good teams and players (see: RGIII), don't like to blame injury for losses. And rival fans surely don't want to hear it.
But if you do look at all the Knicks' losses, someone's missing. They haven't lost a game with a full and healthy roster, yet.
Of course this is often a fact in the NBA. Many teams go through large portions of the season (or the whole season) without all their players suited up.
But in the 2012-13 Knicks' case, the team is finally on the verge of having everybody fully healthy and game ready.
All stats used in this article are as of Jan. 7, 2012.

News Detail
Political Science and Communication Tag-Team in the Big Apple
From March 10-12, Dr. Jim Bowers, professor in the Political Science Department, and Dr. Todd Sodano, assistant professor in the Communication/Journalism (C/J) Department, took a group of 27 students to New York City for a pre-professional development weekend.
The weekend started with a tour of NBC Studios, where C/J students learned about the prestigious NBC Page Program. The program recruits, develops, and retains talent, and is a primary pipeline to entry-level positions at NBC Universal. Students from Fisher's Pre-Law Club visited several law schools to learn more about their programs.
The C/J students then had an opportunity to meet with nine producers and research analysts from MTV, Vh1, and Nickelodeon at MTV Networks, who talked about life in the big city, working in TV/film, and how they made the transition from small towns and colleges to a big city.
On Friday night, with Director of Alumni Relations Chris Sullivan's help, the group attended a networking event at Houndstooth Pub, owned by a Fisher alum. C/J alums Bob Meadows, Brett McCann, and Evan Malone were a few of the many alumni who met with current students to share insights on working in the industry. The alumni were representing companies including SyFy, Tribeca Film Institute, New York City Ballet, Atlas Media Group, and think/feel. In addition, a second-year law student at New York University (NYU) Law School met with the Pre-Law Club earlier in the day.
For the second straight year, the C/J group used social media to promote and document the Joint Journalism Historians Conference, held this year at NYU's Arthur L. Carter's Journalism Institute. C/J associate professor Dr. Dougie Bickett joined the group for the conference. Students shot videos, conducted interviews, Tweeted live, and posted Facebook updates from the site and around Manhattan. Over the next two weeks, students will finish editing videos which will then appear on the conference's Media History Exchange website.

Avery Dennison Fasteners MicroPin™/MicroTach™
MicroPin™/MicroTach™ -
Eliminate thread, staple and pins with the new MicroPin/ Micro/Tach fasteners.
Save time, labor and money with the smallest, most versatile Swiftach® fastener. Better than thread, metal staples or pins, the micro fasteners hold tight and are applied easily with a lightweight, hand-held tool. The Micro Tach tool can be used to insert the fastener anywhere on the product while the MicroPin tool, with its forward capture loop is used primarily on folded items such as shirts.
The MicroPin is used on shirts by simply hooking the hand-tool's chrome nose around the folded garment and squeezing the tool which attaches the layers of fabric together with the micro fastener. The result is a beautifully presented garment, with perfectly placed folds and tucks that is securely packaged and ready for retail.
The MicroTach can be used to package items such as dolls cloths and to replace stitching in pleats, drapes and similar items. In any operation where you are presently using thread, staples or pins, the micro fasteners represents an attractive alternative.
Short fasteners. Available in lengths of .172" and .215" in both black and white, the fasteners are the shortest on the market and hold items together flush.
Easy to Remove fasteners. Consumers are no longer required to be extra cautious when removing metal pins from their purchase because micro fasteners literally "pop off" with a gentle tug.
Strong. The fasteners have a 2 lb tensile strength so they hold firmly yet allow for easy separation.
Safe and easy. The micro fasteners are safer and easier to use than pins, metal staples or thread.
Portable and Efficient. The tools are easy to move anywhere in the plant and with 120 fasteners per clip, application is fast and efficient.

With players possessing the physical tools to outplay just about anybody in the country, the West Texas A&M volleyball team can do only so much to improve during practice.
But the mental game is always a battle. So coach Jason Skoch, citing a need for refocusing and getting back a "killer instinct," is seeking outside help.
Enter Dr. John Lubker, the newly appointed interim dean of WT's College of Nursing and Health Sciences. Though he's not officially a sports psychologist - a term reserved for practitioners who have been accredited by the American Board of Sports Psychology - Lubker is a certified consultant of the Association of Applied Sport Psychology and has done this type of thing before.
Lubker said he prefers to be called a "mental skills coach." Regardless of how Lubker is viewed, Skoch is willing to give Lubker's advice a shot.
"I think the stuff he said and the ideas he has make sense, so I'm giving him a try," Skoch said. "I've worked with (mental consultants) before, and there's only so much you can do during the season. But what he said makes a lot of sense to me."
What was said is restricted by doctor/patient confidentiality, and Skoch and Lubker said their meeting this week was brief. But there will definitely be some changes at the WT Fieldhouse.
"We're going to focus on putting it (mental preparation) back on the players," Skoch said. "I'm going to pull off some and I'm going to give the girls some more leeway and let them explore."
How much all of this will help WT's chances of going to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight, I don't know. But that's definitely the motivation behind Lubker's consultation.
Around college: Hereford graduate Staci Wilt, a junior at Wayland Baptist, was named the Sooner Athletic Conference libero of the week after averaging 4.71 digs, going perfect in 70 pass attempts and totaling 48 serves (including two aces) at the Morningside Invitational last weekend in Sioux City, Iowa.
Eastern New Mexico senior libero Caitlin Murphy, a Tascosa graduate, had a career-high 28 digs Tuesday against Texas-Permian Basin. Before the match, which UTPB won in four games, Murphy ranked 15th overall in Division II with 5.37 digs per game (290 over 15 matches).
In Eugene, Ore., sophomore outside hitter Dana Stephenson, a Canyon graduate, led No. 7 Oregon in blocks (3) for the fourth time in five matches and also had seven kills and hit .312.
In Norman, Okla., sophomore setter Brianne Barker, an Amarillo High graduate and daughter of AHS coach Jan Barker, had 42 of the Sooners' 48 sets in Oklahoma's Big 12 conference win against Missouri. It was Brianne's eighth double-double of the season.
Streaking: The Lady Buffs are in the hunt for their fourth consecutive Lone Star Conference title, while No. 4 Amarillo High is seeking its fourth consecutive Class 5A state title.
The Lady Sandies have won 46 consecutive district matches dating to October 2005. Class 4A No. 2 Randall has a 26-match winning streak this season.
Class 2A No. 1 Bushland, seeking its third consecutive state title, started District 1-2A play Tuesday with a win against Highland Park.

Performance in First-Person 3D Shooters
Aliens vs. Predator
This game is benchmarked in DirectX 11 mode with the highest graphics quality settings.
The 3-way RV870-based configuration expectedly beats the GeForce GTX 480 SLI. The difference is small and due to the architectural specifics of the graphics cores from AMD and Nvidia. That subsystem is going to cost more than $1000 and won't be quiet, especially in 3D applications, yet it proves that AMD is just as advanced technologically as Nvidia.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The ordinary Radeon HD 5870 CrossFire tandem feels good in this game, being only inferior to the GeForce GTX 480 SLI at 2560x1600. With the addition of a third GPU, AMD's graphics platform goes ahead and enjoys a considerable lead at the highest resolution. Take note that the third graphics core does not produce serious performance benefits at 1920x1080 and 1600x900.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The 3-way CrossFire is not very successful in this test, only matching the GeForce GTX 480 SLI at 2560x1600. We cannot yet benchmark graphics cards at nonstandard resolutions with two or more monitors whereas the maximum single-monitor resolution of 2560x1600 is playable even on the single-GPU flagship cards from both AMD and Nvidia.
Crysis Warhead
Even the 3-way subsystem from AMD cannot do anything with the resolution of 2560x1600 in this game. The highest performance is still delivered by the GeForce GTX 480 SLI but its bottom speed is not high enough for comfortable play using the highest graphics quality settings. It is the 3-way CrossFire that wins at the lower resolutions, yet we wouldn't recommend it for this game. It is noisy and consumes a lot of power whereas you can play the game just as comfortably on the single Radeon HD 5970.

Oh please – difference is working smart, and the "us" and "them" would be goverments and terrorists / anarchists. Besides that you see plenty of witchhunts going on in these cases.
Very very sick cartoon.
If Holbert doesn't like your USA justice when it's working like it was set out to do, he really should live somewhere else.
If he's proven guilty in your courts, then the consequential justice will be meted out.
Why is Uncle Sam angry that he's doing what is right and decent and what, indeed, does make us different from (some, certainly not all) other countries?
It makes me proud to be an American.
It's a tea party cartoon, so cruel and clueless is key to the philosophy. Attack the victims, and complain about spending money to do what's right. And, of course, the very premise of the cartoon — that taxpayer funds will cover the injuries — is also false: see the NYT article on the Boston fund today. $50,000 will not cover the costs of prosthetics. If we were a civilized country with single-payer health care, these people would be taken care of. At least under Romneycare they're likely to be insured, but it's private insurance with solid limits about what will be covered. Many of the victims will be ruined financially, and probably bring their families down with them as housing and college educations go to pay for needed health care.
Billy, sure do. There was a conspiracy nut at the very first press conference loudly and repeatedly DEMANDING! to know if it was a "false flag" exercise.
(Of course, nutcases doing crazy things could never happen, only the gummint is a nutcase that does crazy things.)
I think anyone sane and rational is very pleased that at least one was taken alive. In fact, I even wish the younger one had not run over his brother.
I think that it is criminal that the USA is the only country in the world that has not had government health care. (And no one say say that governments that provide health care are broke, that is highly inaccurate because all others do provide it, rich or broke.)
Yup, your average person can afford double amputation and rehab while out of work for a few years. Moochers…
So what's your point? Is it good to just let them die? Are you complaining about the money spent to keep him alive for trial? If he dies everything he knows goes with him. Are you saying we're better than everyone else because we keep him alive?
"such as one of the Provincial Prime Ministers of Canada."
So you still have not read the full story about your illustration, please do.
Ultra-lib bomber???
And it is a big difference. Even Bill Maher said the other day all religions are not created equal. We don't kill you if you insult Jesus Christ; we don't kill women not for adultery nor for being raped. Think about it please. This is not bigoted if it is true and is a truth that needs to be confronted.
The opposite is actually true. There are more people leaving our country for healthcare. Ireland actually had a campaign (I don't know if they still do) when I was there to get Irish-Americans to move to Ireland because, after achieving citizenship, their prescripton medications would be free after age 55.
We are also no longer the leader in research medicine, either. More rich people are seeking new treatments in Germany, Japan, Sweden, Finland, and even Singapore. We have fallen behind just about everyone that is not a third world country.
Attack the victims, are you saying the bombers are the victims. ARod look at the cartoon think about what you said; then check your own premises.
Yeah but they don't have 50 million on food stamps and playing nurse maid to the rest of the world, we still send several hundred million in aid to China that we have got to pay back to them. Hey if you want Universal health care get our allies to cover their own military expenses. See how that goes.
Provincial Prime Ministers????

From the Fix:
McCain To Headline Romney Fundraiser: In a sign that the 2008 campaign is water under the bridge, Arizona Sen. John McCain will host a fundraiser for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's Free and Strong America PAC next Wednesday at Chase Bank Field in Phoenix. McCain — along with Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) — will co-host the event, which includes a VIP reception ($3,000 donation per person) and luncheon ($300 per person). Romney and McCain clashed repeatedly during the 2008 campaign and the Arizona Senator made little secret to mask his distaste for his most serious rival for the nomination. But, McCain's willingness to sign on for a fundraiser to collect cash for Romney's leadership PAC suggests the rivalry of 2008 is gone if not totally forgotten. That's a good thing for Romney as he prepares for his increasingly likely run for president in 2012.
It is interesting to me that McCain is willing to do this for Romney, and so early after the recent election. They did, after all, have a very rough primary. I can only attribute it to the fact that Romney was very gracious in his concession to McCain and immediately, and with full-throttle, campaigned for him up all the way up to election day.
Here is a reminder of the post-primary Romney from an excellent article entitled The Long-Distance Runner by the Boston Globe:
"He lost a tough race," says New Hampshire state Senator Jeb Bradley, a Republican and former US congressman. "After that, Mitt could have done anything he wanted with his life: back to the nonprofit world or start a new business. But what has he been doing? He's kept at it. He's been busting his butt since losing more than anyone I have ever seen."
Romney returned to his office the following week in a T-shirt and jeans, ready to travel to his California home. From there, Romney's staff informed McCain's, he would be willing to travel to Arizona for a formal endorsement ceremony. But McCain's camp volunteered their candidate, campaigning that day in Rhode Island, for an immediate photo op in Boston. Romney wavered about doing it so quickly — he held a ticket for a middle seat on a JetBlue flight later that day and hesitated about paying the cancellation fee — but was flattered that McCain would show deference and come to him. Hours later, after postponing his flight and changing into a suit, Romney met with McCain privately for 15 minutes and asked what he could do. McCain made a standard request: He entreated Romney to campaign for him and other Republican candidates. Then the two walked out in front of an American flag and made it official.
"That we just put down to him being smart," says Mark Salter, a McCain adviser who was among Romney's most vehement detractors during the primaries. "He got out and then graciously said, 'Put me to work.' And I don't think he turned down anything we asked him to do."
I'm reminded that Romney "did events for 33 federal candidates running for office and 37 surrogate events for Senator McCain and Governor Palin".
They put him to work indeed.

* An active sunscreen ingredient
* Please read TIA's post on What Is It: Octinoxate Plus Other Sunscreen Ingredients and Are They Safe?
Octocrylene is an organic compound and ester formed by the condensation of a diphenylcyanoacrylate with 2-ethylhexanol (a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and oil-like, water resistant properties). It is primarily used as an active ingredient in sunscreens because of its ability to absorb UVB and short-wave UVA (ultraviolet) rays and protect the skin from direct DNA damage (Source).
Safety Measures/Side Effects:
Octocrylene can penetrate into the skin and act as a photosensitizer, resulting in an increased production of free radicals. Free radicals can induce indirect DNA damage and potentially contribute to the increased incidence of malignant melanoma in sunscreen-users compared to non-users, according to Wikipedia.
The CosmeticsDatabase finds Octocrylene to be a moderate hazard, due to potential reproductive toxicity and the above mentioned potential carcinogenic side effects. However, toxicity issues resulted from high concentrations not found in topical sunscreens and other skin care products.
Recommended Products with Octocrylene:
MD Solar Sciences Daily Anti-Aging Moisturizer ($68 in the shop)

In the United States federal regulations require that in order to label coffee as "decaffeinated" that coffee must have had its caffeine level reduced by no less than 97.5 percent.
Example: Panamanian coffee is about 1.36% caffeine by weight normally. This and many other arabica coffees are about 98.64% caffeine free even before anything is done to lower the caffeine content..
When 97% of the caffeine has been removed only .0408 % of the coffee weight is caffeine. About 4/100ths of 1%. At this level it is labeled "decaffeinated. How roasters label their products is another matter. Suppose two roasters roast Panama coffee that originally came from the same lot, and were decaffeinated together in the same vat. One roaster labels his decaf. "97.5% Caffeine Removed." The other says his is "99+% Caffeine Free." Which roaster is not telling the truth?
The answer is: They are both right. They are both essentially saying the same thing.
Decaf should range somewhere in the 2-4 milligrams of caffeine per cup range.
Currently used solvents for decaffeinating coffee include, H2O (water), CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), Meth. Chloride, Ethyl Acetate. Note: A relatively new method called Swiss Water Decaffeinated uses "flavor-charged" water in the decaffeinating process.
While caffeine is probably not the cause; it has been known and proven to aggravate cases of anxiety (sometimes to severe levels).
I believe that even decaf can cause slight headaches.
I used to drink normal coffee at work (1-2 large mugs = 2-4 cups a day). On weekends, I would get headaches. But I noticed that even when I have decaf (2-3 mugs a day), I end up having these headaches whenever I reduce my coffee intake.
See: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/10/061012185602.htm
It's possible. Depends on your level of sensitivity to caffeine.
To be classified as decaf; technically it needs to have 97% or more of the caffeine content by weight removed. So the caffeine levels are pretty tiny but it's not completely removed.
I also suffer from caffeine withdraw headaches. It's strange because I don't drink regular coffee because of my GERD issues. But today, for the first time ever, I thought I would try decaf just because I love the smell of coffee and before my GERD was diagnosed, I did enjoy a good cup of Joe. Decaf tastes burnt to me, and now I don't feel well just the same as with normal coffee. I won't be drinking coffee or high caffinated tea again.
I also suffer from GERD and recently needed to cut regular coffee out of my diet. I am going to try a couple of the decaf brands that another user recommended and see what I think though.
"I have never liked decaf, but since getting my Keurig, I've found several very good brands nd flavors. Timothy's Columbian Decaf is terrific as well as Green Mountain Decaf Hazelnut (and I hate haselnut.) Good Luck."
the headaches happen as a result of caffeine withdrawals/cravings...
Although I love coffee and caffeinated drinks, I recently discoverd that by drinking coffee in the morning, it was reason for excessive my tiredness and lethargy later in the day. If you get bouts of tiredness through the day, consider quitting coffee for 30 days - You'll be pleasantly surprised!
I too tried this with similar results. However I have a theory that it's not actually having the coffee in the morning that makes you tired in the afternoon - since coffee dehydrates the body, if we fail to replenish the lost water we will feel tired. You can test this ... The next time you feel tired in the PM try drinking a glass of two of water - you will be surprised just how awake you begin to feel shortly after.
An apple is actually more effective at wakeing you up in the morning than that cup of coffee and its healthier for you. If you're having trouble waking up, try snaking on an apple!
Sex with or without a partner will wake you up more than an apple, but neither is better than coffee.

I'm looking for a composition with a similar mood/feel as the seven nation army [white stripes] intro has. I need a composition that has the same underline tension this song has, the sort of mood we need to convey has to have the same sort of tension, a similar compass, similar rhythm, feel free to suggest compositions you feel might be appropriated to our needs. Once again, I'll take the opportunity to thank you all in advance and also, to request that you allow extended license purchase. Thank you Anne
This one got kind of the same feel. Starting with a melody that builds up a tension and then comes a strong climax. It is more electronic than seven nation army though.http://audiojungle.net/item/electronic-groove/3956393?sso
May I suggest this? Thank you for listeninghttp://audiojungle.net/item/march-of-the-champion/156765
Hello Anne!
I guess I have a few tracks that may suit your needs very well!
First of all, you can try with this one, All Hopes are Gone in the Dark, which is very close to what you are looking for. It has a similar tension and a great rhythm.
You can also try this one, Inspirational Rock. It may work out good for what you looking for.
For similar tracks to the two above, try here, there are more nice ones.
You can also try to listen to this one, Courageous Decision, which may greatly fit what you asked.
Otherwise there is this great track, Epic Violin, which is kinda slow and tense. Give it a listen!
If you need more similar music, or just for future reference, here is my profile, where you can find tracks divided by genre or simply my entire portfolio. Be sure to check it out, we have good quality tracks suitable for a very wide range of situations. Of course all of our tracks are available for extended licence too.
Good luck with your project! Wish you the best.
Light Lotus Production
Hello! I have a few that may work for you…
This one is probably closest… http://audiojungle.net/item/in-between-the-keys/3282685
There are few more in my "All things Rock" collection as well…
Thanks for listening! Let me know if it's "almost" there… I can create another mix for you as well…
Also check and my rock collectionhttp://audiojungle.net/collections/2224403-punk-rock-collection
Hello, Anne.
Funny thing, but I do have very similar composition. I wrote it about 5 years ago, when I wasn't even familiar with the White Stripes' works. Imagine my disappointment when afterwards I've heard this "Seven Nation Army"!
Here it is. Sorry for the quality, back then I knew nothing about a proper recording and mixing.
Some day I'm going to re-made it (with some changes) in a good quality and place somewhere. But if it's what you're searching, write me – I can do it now, taking you wishes into account.
