Yesterday, Secretary Clinton delivered remarks with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Bakr Abdullah al-Qirbi in London. Secretary Clinton said:
"I just want to take this opportunity to outline three important things -- why we met, what we've achieved, and what the next steps are, because it's very important that these meetings lead not just to concrete outcomes, but to mechanisms for implementation as well. As you well know, the -- our prime minister, the UK prime minister, called this meeting shortly after the failed terrorist attack on Northwest Airlines flight 253. We know that al-Qaida seek to exploit instability wherever they can, including places like Yemen. The Government of Yemen have been seeking to tackle the terrorist problem they've faced for some time, and the international community has been working to support them in this endeavor.
"However, it's been a common feature of every contribution that we have heard today that the assault on Yemen's problems cannot begin and end with its security challenges and its counterterrorism strategy. In tackling terrorism, it is vital to tackle the root -- its root causes. In Yemen's case, these are manifold -- economic, social, and political. I also want to stress that many of the countries represented in the room upstairs today have not -- have been concerned about the challenges in Yemen for some time, have been longstanding friends of the people and Government of Yemen, and have been taking concrete steps to support a united and stable Yemen."
Secretary Clinton continued, "[W]e stress strongly our respect and support for Yemen's sovereignty and independence and our commitment to noninterference in Yemen's internal affairs. Many of you will know that in 2006, we hosted in London a meeting committed to increasing aid for Yemen. The UK is one of the largest Western bilateral donors to Yemen. That conference yielded pledges of some $5 billion, but the vast bulk of that money has not been spent and that's one of the things that we have been seeking to address today, because it goes to the heart of the problems that Yemen faces.
"Working closely with the Government of Yemen, we decided that our agenda needed to cover agreement on the nature of the problem and then address the solutions across the economic, social, and political terrain. Five key items were agreed at the meeting for the way in which the international community can support progress in Yemen.
"First, confirmation by the Government of Yemen that it will continue to pursue its reform agenda and agreement to start discussion of an IMF program. The director of the IMF represented at the meeting made a compelling case for the way in which economic reform could be supported by the IMF. This is important because it will provide welcome support and help the Government of Yemen confront its immediate challenges.
"Second, an announcement by the Gulf Cooperation Council Secretary General that he will host a meeting of Gulf and Western donors on Yemen in Riyadh on the 22nd and 23rd of February. The meeting will not just share analysis on the improved disbursement of aid to Yemen, but also establish a joint dialogue with the Government of Yemen on its reform priorities.
"Thirdly, the international community represented at the meeting committed to support the Government of Yemen in the fight against al-Qaida. It welcomed the recent UN Sanctions Committee decisions on designation and called on all states to enforce the terms of the designation under UN Security Council Resolution 1267.
"Fourthly, the meeting agreed to engage in further helping Yemen to address its broader security challenges, including through increased international support for the Yemen Coast Guard. This should help enhance maritime security for Yemen and the wider region.
"Fifthly, we agreed to launch a formal Friends of Yemen process made up of those at the meeting today which will address the broad range of challenges facing Yemen, including through two working groups on economy and governance and justice and law enforcement. These should meet in time to report back to the first Friends of Yemen meeting which should take place in the region in late March. So these are issues that will take sustained engagement by Yemen and by the international community. The meeting today was a part of a longer-term process. It was an important step forward and it's one that we are determined to build on."

When you lose a friend its sad, when you lost 19 fellow shipmates is a tradegy, when the USS Cole was attacked in the Yeaman port, every US Navy Sailor felt the shockwaves. We all morned and grieved our lost brothers. Just like I remember waking up and starting a day to find out during the afternoon when the USS Stark was hit by Iraqi Jet. Crewmembers were killed by a pilot who was ordered to strike the ship with two missiles, by Saddam Hussain. I personally, I went to school with those sailors, and can tell you firsthand that it's not forgotten. Our brothers are remembered for generations to come. If Yeaman is holding out on intelligence relating to Usama bin laden, the Top Terrorist of the world, this would be the time to turn him over to the Authorities. A case in point, Giving money to a group of people who want to do harm to our people, does not make sense to me at all. We as people will never change a race, a color, or a religion in a foreign country. The State Department can try to make a difference and use all the Diplomatic reasoning for change, and I wish them good luck. When it's all said in done in the end, some people in this world will never change no matter how much money you give them nor how much power they acquire. A zebra never changes it's stripes, so what makes people think that Yeaman will anytime soon?
We all want peace, stability and share a common bond in the world, but some people are just plain evil. Could anyone have changed Adolph Hitler, Saddam Hussain or Usama bin laden? I think they all have something in common, a hate for the West.
Ron in New York writes:
Afghanistan,Yemen, Somalia,Iraq, Pakistan.....
We still don't really get it, that these are malignant nodes of global terrorist-cancers which grow by attracting our resources. USG$ cannot cure this disease with more money. If terrorism is a fire; we need to cut off the oxygen.
You cannot do a "Friends of Yemen" PR program to deal with a rogue-state intent on our demise. If we want to succeed, we must take a long hard look at our approach....In the meantime, how about knocking out Iran's Nuclear War facilities?
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
@ron New York
I agree 100 percent and until Osama bin laden is captured, the Nuclear Power plants Iran is building for evil not for clean energy. Then you also have Russia selling weapons and the west turning a blind eye to the whole thing. Nobody has questioned how all of sudden Russia now has a stealth fighter? I thought our Nation was the only country in the world that had stealth, so where did they get it from? Who sold Russia the technolgoy for stealth? Somebody in big kim chee... If it came from the United States laws have been broken. How do we expect to defend our Constitution if the billion dollar stealth program has been security breached? There should be an investigation into how Russia suddenly has the stealth capability. Heads should be rolling.
Peace out!!!

1/30, Etiquetticians, CWC
Cardy: Gift (J.Crew); Blouse: Secondhand (from BFF Amber's closet); Belt: J.Crew Factory; Pants: Urban; Shoes: Buffalo Exchange
My first 30 for 30 outfit! Didn't put much thought into this one. I knew it was a 'pants' day... so I wore pants. Then I just threw this shirt and cardigan together. And added more color with the belt and the pumps. Voila! The first day of the 30 for 30 is very easy. Let's hope it stays this way.
Matt and I are in charge of etiquette night for the teenagers at church. (Does this make us etiquetticians?) It focuses on dating etiquette. Which reminds me of one time I was on a date in high school before a dance. And my date stole silverware from the restaurant we were eating at. Charming, yes? (PS It wasn't Matt.)
Oh yeah, and here are a few of Matt...It's been a while since he's made an appearance on this blog.
Scarf: Vintage; Cardy: Urban Outfitters; Shirt: Ghostly International; Jeans: Cheap Monday; Shoes: Swear
We are a cardigan-wearing couple.
Thanks Matt, for letting me eat all of the Kit-Kats in our assorted Valentine chocolates bag. And also, thanks for coming up with the clothesline idea in my 30 for 30 post. And thanks for not asking for any credit for it. And thanks for actually forgetting it was your idea in the first place. Thanks, Matt. Thatt.
PS I was featured on Walk of Fashion yesterday! Check out my interview... if you want. I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to. I just mean, you can. If you want to.

Hostile climate tests futures brokers
Futures brokers are facing difficult times amid stormy market conditions that have already forced some firms into radical action.
These firms – also known as futures commission merchants – provide execution and clearing services, including direct market access and credit, to hedge funds and proprietary trading firms that wish to trade on the futures markets but which are not big enough to be a member of a market or its clearing house.
The industry has been buffeted by a combination of the rise in electronic trading, which has reduced the commissions a broker can charge for execution services; vanishing income from investments; and declining derivatives trading volumes, which fell 10.2% globally for the first six months of last year compared with the same period in 2011, according to the Futures Industry Association.
Industry experts say declining investment income has proved especially damaging. Fred Ponzo, managing partner at financial services consultancy GreySpark, said that, historically, many futures brokers charged clearing services at cost in order to attract large deposits from clients for money used in the clearing process. Clients must pay cash and securities to clearers, via their broker, as a surety against their positions.
Brokers can make money from this client cash by "pocketing the difference" between the interest rate they receive on the deposits and the rate they pass on to the client.
According to a study by US consultancy Tabb Group published last month, US FCMs collectively made more than 40% of their income in this way in 2008 – more than they made from either clearing or execution.
But with interest rates in the US and Europe at record lows, this source of revenue has all but dried up. Tabb Group said that, this year, investment income was expected to account for just 10% of US FCMs' revenues and the pool of revenues available to US FCMs is set to almost halve from $7bn to $4bn. As the available revenue has shrunk, so too has the number of brokers. A study by PA Consulting in September found that the number of US FCMs registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission had dropped by 33% since 2008. Kamal Mohindra, author of the PA Consulting study, said that the European FCM community has diminished by a similar amount. Tabb Group's study believes that number in the US will fall a further 20% by the end of 2014 (see chart).
The industry has also seen two high-profile exits in the form of the bankruptcies of MF Global in October 2011 and Peregrine Financial last July.
Climate change
At the same time, regulation is also transforming the industry.
Tabb Group's analyst Matt Simon believes further consolidation in the futures brokerage market will be driven by the mandated shift of many over-the-counter derivatives towards electronic trading and clearing under Dodd-Frank in the US and the European Market Infrastructure Regulation.
Nearly two-thirds of the FCMs Tabb Group interviewed said they were hopeful that the new clearing requirements would boost futures trading volumes in 2013 as firms look for cheaper exchange-listed derivatives in place of more costly OTC products.
According to Tabb Group's Simon, those with bigger budgets, particularly bank-owned FCMs, will embrace the shift but smaller players will struggle to keep up. He said: "We believe the current environment will prompt a further wave of consolidation, especially for middle-tier firms. A revenue shift will favour larger FCMs as market participants transition their OTC activity into existing futures and emerging swap futures products. Customers will want to clear their over-the-counter products with the same firms they use for clearing futures and will favour those existing relationships."
He said this was going to make it difficult for smaller and mid-tier FCMs that did not have a consolidated OTC service offering to remain competitive.
Some have suggested that, when interest rates rise again, many FCMs could simply revert to a middle-of-the-road existence, living from the roughly even split of revenue they enjoyed in the past between investment, execution and clearing.
Several of the 15 US brokers polled by Tabb Group held this view. But, with base rates in the US and Europe not projected to rise significantly within the next two years, many firms will have to eke out an existence in a hostile environment of falling volumes, increased costs and structural changes in the system.
Steve Grob, head of strategy at securities technology vendor Fidessa, said firms which were relying on a potential pick-up in volumes to revive their current business model were "seriously misguided". He said: "This is not a storm that'll blow over; this is climate change. Even if rates rise in a couple of years' time, those who haven't adapted their business model in the meantime won't be around to capitalise."
Nicolas Breteau, chief executive of Newedge, one of the biggest futures brokerages which recently announced a major restructuring, agreed that the market dynamic had changed fundamentally. He said: "Recent events show that traditional market mechanisms don't seem to apply any longer. Uncertainty once typically resulted in higher volatility, hence, higher trading volumes. However, despite massive amounts of uncertainty over the last six months, this did not translate into an uptick in volumes. Instead, many major market participants withdrew completely from trading."
However, he said, there remain opportunities for futures brokerages to diversify their revenue streams, much as their cousins in the interdealer market have done. He said: "In such conditions, managing costs closely is obviously critical, but it is also an opportunity to diversify revenue streams and invest in future growth areas, such as OTC clearing or collateral management – both are on our agenda for 2013 – as well as implementing smarter, leaner and more effective infrastructure and IT solutions."
• Adapting to the challenge: one brand, two structures
As Newedge maps out its future as two companies, many are asking whether its model may offer a blueprint to others. Last month, Newedge unveiled a radical restructuring programme to divide its execution and clearing businesses into separately capitalised entities.
The firm, which was formed when French banks Société Générale and Crédit Agricole merged their futures brokerages in 2008, is one of the largest global futures brokerages, employing 3,000 staff across more than 20 countries, according to its 2011 annual report. Despite its market dominance, however, the company has been up for sale for more than a year, according to media reports.
Nicolas Breteau, Newedge's chief executive, told Financial News that the restructure would allow the group to reduce its overall capital burden – which will grow under new international capital rules – by pushing its execution business into a separate agency brokerage. Agency brokers take on less risk than banks and are, therefore, subject to lower capital requirements.
He said: "Within the new capital and liquidity requirements under Basel III, Emir and Dodd-Frank, separating these two business areas would enable us to allocate valuable resources, including capital, more effectively and set up supervisory structures that meet each business's separate needs."
He said the split also had advantages from a client service point of view. In future, the firm believes trading and clearing will become very different, highly specialised businesses, for which a one-size-fits-all approach is not appropriate.
Breteau said: "To us, delivering effective clearing and execution of financial futures and options solutions requires different approaches. Execution is all about agility, access and value added, while clearing is a commoditised service in a comparatively heavily regulated framework [where] scale is what matters most."
Newedge's approach differs markedly, however, from many of the firm's bank-owned rivals, which have moved swiftly to create integrated execution and clearing "supermarkets" to cater to as many clients as possible.
These players do not share Newedge's vision of the future. The global head of futures at one investment bank said: "The future doesn't look great for execution-only brokers. This is a market which is already coming to be dominated by a few large-flow players, who can offer a full range of clearing and ancillary services to clients on a truly global basis."

Pfizer allows secure access to anonymized patient-level data in response to scientifically valid research proposals.
Data from Pfizer-sponsored studies* are available 24 months after study completion. Data are available from clinical trials for which Basic Results are posted in the clinicaltrials.gov registry (e.g., dating back to September 2007). You can see which trials have data available by visiting our Clinical Study Report Synopses page, and selecting the "Show only synopses that have Patient-Level Data available for request" option.
To access patient-level data, researchers should submit a research proposal. An internal committee, composed of Pfizer colleagues who are familiar with the data, reviews all in-scope applications. If the application is denied or only partially approved, an Independent Review Panel of outside experts will review the application. The Independent Review Panel's decision is considered final and binding.
In considering an application, both the internal review committee and the Independent Review Panel will assess a number of criteria, including the scientific rationale for the research and whether there is a well-documented and rigorous statistical analysis plan. All those receiving access to data will be required to enter into a data access agreement.
Submit your request for patient-level data
Independent Review Panel
To ensure that requests for patient-level data from Pfizer-sponsored clinical trials are handled fairly, impartially, and consistently, an Independent Review Panel reviews any requests for in-scope clinical data not initially approved, in whole or in part, by Pfizer's internal review committee. The final decision rests with the Independent Review Panel and is binding.
The responsibilities and decision-making processes of the Panel, including the criteria used to evaluate data requests, are outlined in the Independent Review Panel charter.
Members of the Independent Review Panel were selected by Pfizer based on their experience, training, and expertise in aspects of clinical research conduct, from ethics to statistical analyses. Three of the Independent Review Panel members are on Pfizer's Bioethics Advisory Committee.
Independent Review Panel Members**
- Stephen Senn, PhD (Chair) - Head of Competence Centre for Methodology and Statistics at CRP-Santé, Luxembourg
- Bartha Knoppers, PhD, MA, LLB/BCL, Director of the Centre of Genomics and Policy, McGill University, Montreal (Quebec), Canada
- James Lavery, PhD, Research Scientist, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute of St. Michael's Hospital and University of Toronto, Toronto (Ontario), Canada
- Johan Karlberg, MD, PhD, Managing Director, Clinical Trial Magnifier Limited, Hong Kong SAR, PR China; Vice-President, Alliance for Clinical Research Excellence and Safety (ACRES), Cambridge, MA
View Frequently Asked Questions about Pfizer Clinical Data Access (PDF)
* Clinical trials that are carried out as part of a co-development or co-promote partnership between Pfizer and another company may be subject to a different review process mutually agreed to by each partner.
** As of April 2015. Panel composition may change and/or Pfizer may re-assess the review process as data sharing practices evolve.

Persephone Victoria- Love this name, but I'm not sure that I'd put Persephone with Victoria, as they are both 4 syllables. I love that Persephone hits that perfectly unique medium for me. It's not so out there as to raise eyebrows, but it is unique enough that I've never actually met a Persephone. I'd be overjoyed to meet a young Persephone. Also, it has an -i/-e/-ie sound at the end to match Vashti. It's a nice thing to link them together...
Senara Victoria- I don't like the -a -a endings.
Damaris Victoria- Sorry, too out there for me. Although I know Damaris is a real name, it always sounds made up for me (probably because I knew a D'Maris).Emiliana Pari 郑煜曈 '14

I knew this story was going to grab me because you and I have much in common, though I am white. My grandmother lost her parents to smallpox in the last Oklahoma land rush when she was 12. Smallpox was raging in Oklahoma then; whole Native American villages were infected. I was well aware of the Trail of Tears (a family member married a man of Cherokee heritage). My late father shared ancestors with Abraham Lincoln and my mother shares ancestors with Thomas Jefferson. I was also well aware of the Sally Hemings story long ago and knew it to be true no matter how many experts denied it. My mother's Southern ancestors had a plantation in Arkansas with slaves; her great-great grandmother's marriage broke up when her husband fathered a child with a slave. This was kept a secret for many years. I was also well aware some Cherokees had slaves in the south and in Oklahoma. I tried to get a master's in history, but my interest was always on the human stories. I wish I couldn have heard this intereview when I was deciding I wasn't good enough to be a history professor! I have always done feature stories for newspapers and also had a local history program on our local NPR. I was born in Texas during segregation. The first time I went swimming in the public pool in the poor part of town, I said, "How lucky those kids are to swim here any time they want." My friend said, "They can't swim with us." Well, as Oscar Hammerstein wrote in "South Pacific," "You have to be taught to hate and fear." I feel you and I are history sisters and I am so proud of you.

Trip to Eben Ice Caves made more enjoyable
EBEN JUNCTION – For decades, hundreds of people each winter have visited the Eben Ice Caves that are in the Rock River Canyon Wilderness north of Eben Junction in Alger County.
Over the past two winters, owners of adjacent property have added amenities to their land, making the hiking trip to the glistening ice formations that much more enjoyable.
To reach the place where water trickles over a concave sandstone cliff face and freezes, creating the captivating attraction, hikers walk about three-quarters of a mile, beginning with a trek across an open field where two 40-acre parcels come together along a two-track road.
That land is owned by Tim and Heidi Swajanen and their family members. For years, the family has granted access across the field to the public. Last year, the family worked with a private contractor and the Alger County Road Commission to create a 30-vehicle parking area off the North Eben Road.
"We paid for the gravel," Heidi Swajanen said.
This winter, the Swajanen's have provided portable toilets near the parking area and a concession stand.
"People don't know it's there, (but) they're starting to find out," Swajanen said.
Since Jan. 5, the stand has been open from noon until dark Saturdays and Sundays. The stand has hot dogs, coffee, hot chocolate, soda pop and chips available.
Money raised at the concession stand will be used to offset the cost of providing the toilets.
"If I can pay for them this year, we'll continue this," Swajanen said. "So far, this is coming out of our pockets."
The stand will be open each weekend until at least St. Patrick's Day, and after that if the weather contributes to keeping the ice cave formations in good shape.
Swajanen said larger numbers of visitors have been coming to the ice caves over the past few weeks, with February typically the best month to experience the trip because it is usually the coldest.
"It (visitation) is starting to increase a lot, even with the crazy weather," Swajanen said this week. "There was over 300 on Saturday."
Once hikers cross the Swajanens' field, a pathway leads through a hardwood forest, past a U.S. Forest Service gate and then descends down along the face of a river canyon under towering hemlocks. Along the right side of the trail, trickling rivulets flow over the sandstone and snake through the snow toward the river.
A climb back up the side of the canyon from the trail reaches the base of the ice caves. On one side, a rope helps hikers climb to the top of the formations. Water is heard dripping, even in the coldest temperatures, from the roof of the ice curtains, which can be walked behind and are often whitish, greenish, bluish or yellowish in color.
Swajanen said the current trail to the ice caves is the shortest, compared to other routes available in the past that have since been closed. A two-track access route from the Rock River Road was blocked more than 20 years ago and another two-track road, which gave hikers a roughly 2-mile walk, also closed about two decades ago.
The Rock River Canyon Wilderness, which encompasses 4,460 acres, is located about 15 miles west of Munising within the Hiawatha National Forest. Other natural features in the wilderness include the Rock River Falls, Ginpole Lake and Silver Creek.
The wilderness was created in 1987 as part of the Michigan Wilderness Act. Two years later, the Land and Resource Management Plan for the Hiawatha National Forest was amended to add the wilderness area into the National Wilderness Preservation System.
To reach the Swajanen parking area, take M-94 to Eben Junction and then head north along the North Eben Road.
Rangers estimate about 1,700 people visit the area each year.

A depression screening tool finds that 54% of acute cardiac patients are at risk of depression; use of the tool improves documentation and referral

Commentary on: Ski CF, Page K, Thompson DR, et al. Clinical outcomes associated with screening and referral for depression in an acute cardiac ward. J Clin Nurs 2012;21:2228–34.
Implications for practice and research
This study found that nurses on cardiovascular care units were able to administer depression screening tools and document referral activities for positive screens.
It is not known whether depression screening improved depression outcomes.
Evidence of benefits in excess of harms, established by well-conducted randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of depression screening interventions, is needed before depression screening is implemented in cardiovascular care settings.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) may be present in up to 20% of heart disease patients and has been associated with poorer cardiac prognosis, reduced quality of life, less favourable self-care behaviours and higher healthcare costs.1 A 2008 American Heart Association (AHA) …

Soper energizes Esky wrestlers
ESCANABA – The Marquette Redmen started off the night with three straight pins to put themselves ahead 18-0 Thursday night, but Escanaba's Bill Soper energized his whole team after winning his heavyweight match over Rainger Rossway. After that, it was all Escanaba, as they rolled to a 53-21 triumph.
"It was a good draw for them to start off at 171, Curt Calovecchi is a great wrestler," said Escanaba coach Jamie Segorski. "They followed it up with their 189-pounder who is pretty good, and then (Josef) Iwanicki who is a real good wrestler too. So we knew going in there that it was a tough draw. We got pinned by their heavyweight a few weeks ago, so it was a real big win for Bill, and he wrestled absolutely fantastic tonight."
As the heavyweight match reached its end, the entire Eskymos team was cheering him on, and the tone in the building seemed to change.
The next match featured the 112 lb. Trevor Irving, who pinned Marquette's Tyler Teneyck in 1:43. After a couple of forfeits by the Redmen, Escanaba had a 21-18 lead.
At 125 lb, Hunter Moore of Marquette took on Zach Priebe in perhaps the most tightly contested match of the evening. It was a back and forth battle from start to finish. Priebe built an early lead, but Moore came back with an escape to make it 13-10, and then pulled off a reversal in the final seconds. However, the late run came up just short, as Priebe took the match 13-12.
Another forfeit from Marquette boosted the Eskymos to a 30-18 lead. Then Escanaba's Hunter Sadler pinned Ken Hubbard in 3:26, and Kaleb Rahoi earned a win by technical fall over Marquette's Brian Helmer Jr. in 2:22, and the Eskymos had left the Redmen in the dust with a commanding 41-18 advantage in the contest.
At 152 lb, Austin Johnson earned one final victory for the Redmen when he beat Alec Slaga by a 4-1 decision.
"They're a good team, we knew that coming down here," said Marquette coach Charlie Gentz. "To me, tonight was just a gauge to see where we're at because realistically, we want to perform at our best when we see them at districts."
Segorski had a similar point of view. "It's a great confidence builder going into the latter part of our season," he said. "This is it. we want to peak now, and that's what we're trying to do."
The Eskymos resume Saturday at the Peshtigo Invitational.

Freightquote makes freight shipping from
easy with our highly competitive freight rates. When you ship with us you're shipping
with confidence knowing we provide a fast, easy process backed by professionals
who get the job done. No matter how much freight you need to move or where you need
to move it, our exclusive suite of solutions make it simple, whether it's truckload
(TL), less than truckload (LTL freight), expedited LTL or intermodal.
freight rates
Montana, one of the largest states in the U.S., can be a little more expensive to ship freight into due to a high percentage of rural area and lack of manufacturing. The agriculture industry, like potatoes and cattle, keep the intra freight rates reasonable and predictable. Intermodal may not be the best option when shipping to or from Montana since there are numerous areas far from a close railway. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Montana can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.
freight rates
Mississippi freight rates are higher in the summer months, especially outbound freight shipping, due to the agriculture and produce markets. When produce comes into season, trucks can be hard to find. A better time for shipping freight to Mississippi is during the summer. Mississippi has some under-populated areas that make LTL prices average to high in the state. The ease and cost of shipping into or out of Mississippi can be heavily based on proximity to major metro areas.

MRI's Revolutionary New Whey!
The Physique-Altering Power of Peptide "Multi-Fractionation"
Pro·NOS is the biggest breakthrough in protein supplementation in over 20 years. It gives you the power to gain muscle and strip off fat faster than ever before. Without added ingredients. Just Protein. Here's how:
What Makes Pro·NOS Different?
The stunning new technology is known as peptide "multi-fractionation". Unlike today's whey proteins that use peptide chains in their "randomly occurring" lengths, MRI has isolated the specific "interval" (length) within the peptide chains that holds all the concentrated power to change your body composition! You get two powerful physique-altering chain-length specific peptides in new Pro·NOS: Actinos increases nitric oxide by 950%. VAT-Burn strips off belly fat by 4.30%.
Build Muscle and Strip Off Fat - At the Same Time - With Fractionated Whey!
Chest. Arms. Abs. With Pro·NOS, you get it all. The patent-pending NO-generating whey peptide fraction (Actinos) amplifies nitric oxide levels by up to 950%. Without arginine or "added ingredients." Just fractionated whey isolate. Your muscles feel bigger and thicker within days. At the same time, the whey peptide fraction that breaks down fat (VAT-Burn) begins chiseling and sculpting your abs like never before.^
Pro·NOS is Ideal to Take With All NO-Generators!
Pro·NOS is designed to work synergistically with all nitric oxide products. You see, NO generators provide your body with arginine - the building block of NO. But it's the NOS enzymes that convert the arginine into nitric oxide. Pro·NOS makes sure you've got enough NOS enzymes. Finally, NOS is no longer the rate-limiting factor in NO production!
Pro·NOS is 42 grams of the highest quality cross-flow micro-filtered whey isolates and concentrates! And it's great!
^Use in conjunction with your exercise routine.
Suggested Use
Preparation: Mix 1 serving (2 scoops) of Pro·NOS with 12 fl oz of cold water or skim milk, mix well. Consume immediately.
Take 2 servings of Pro·NOS daily.
Note: On training days, take one of your two daily servings within one hour after your workout.
Other Ingredients
MRI proprietary whey blend, cocoa (processing with alkali), MRI sunflower oil / MCT blend (sunflower oil, corn syrup solids, sodium caseinate [a milk derivative], medium chain triglycerides, mono- and diglycerides, dipotassium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, soy lecithin, tocopherols), natural and artificial flavors, cellulose gum, acesulfame potassium (ACE-K), sucralose, nonfat dry milk, disodium phosphate.

My crust would be black in 8 mins. What kind of oven/stone do you have?Nate
Really fine crumb on that same day recipe of yours Mike....very nice.
Peter,Given the fact that I never had a Papa John's pizza in my life, I'm amazed how similar those two formulas are with the exception of the oil and sugar contents.I'm inclined to tinker around with this a bit more with the goal of getting a crust that is truly an EC but with better flavor. I guess I'm up for another little project here
Mike,I appreciate your work and determination on this type of dough you've most recently been working on...all of them are looking good too; though I know it is flavor that you are searching for. Keep after it man..this is great stuff, thanks!
Mike,That sure is a fine looking pizza! Norma

A healthy snack
Posted by Reviewer1712525 on Jan 16, 2012
These rice thins are just so crunchy and morish, once i open the package they're gone in a minute! It's good to know they are so healthy~
Good alternative for gluten-free, corn-free, yeast-free eating
Posted by Reviewer1573716 on Jan 24, 2012
These rice cakes are very thin, and as such make a great alternative for open-faced sandwiches for those of us who avoid gluten, corn, and yeast. I've also used them as crackers in soup. They're low in calories, and have no additional fat, so they're also make a good choice for those trying to lose weight.
Rice Cake
Posted by Reviewer1365549 on Nov 09, 2012
great product, low calories better than bread, gluten free
Good Wholegrain RiceThins! Great Topped with Peanut Butter.
Posted by BeckySue on Mar 13, 2015
This product has everything that you would expect in a rice thin. Since they are so thin they break easily. These rice thins don't have much flavor but that is true of all rice cakes. They are good with most any kind of topping. I put the Chantaine preserves on mine and they were very good. Iherb sells many of the Chantaine preserves. Since these are so thin they only have 23 calories per slice. It is nice that they are fat free and gluten-free too. Sometimes I use these instead of bread. These are a good Rice Thin that I would buy again.

Mto bom!
thin cakes
Posted by Reviewer1755857 on Dec 16, 2011
the thinner, low carb rice cakes are flavor neutral so you can use them with anything from tuna to peanut butter to cottage cheese. I sometimes use them in place of gluten free bread for a sandwich. they are also good for dipping or melting cheese on them
tastes good!
Posted by 5061411838968749330 on May 25, 2014
The rice cakes are thin, so it's a good replacement for toast in the morning. almond butter and jam on the rice thin makes a great snack.

I love these but they are hard top find and there are not many Rice cakes that are corn free,
Good Alternative to Cooked Rice
Posted by RubiesHealth on Jun 16, 2015
This is so useful when I go yeast-free and gluten-free and cannot find time to cook brown rice. It can be eaten with butter, as a sandwich, with a soup or any main meat dish. It is very crisp when you first open the pack. After a while it does turn soft. Re-heat it lightly over a pan or toaster and it will become crisp again. Lundberg Rice Cakes are thicker and less crisp. Real Foods also make Corn Thins that taste like movie pop corns when you eat them with butter!
Tasty healthy snack.

Very crispy, and good. I love crispy rice cake, this one is little more dry, and thin.
