Men who have sex with men (MSM) in Georgia have some of the highest rates of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) of any group in the state. But many in the community also struggle with depression, fear, stigma and struggles with their faith, which can prevent them from protecting their own health.
At the Georgia Department of Public Health's (DPH) second annual MSM Symposium on Friday, 130 attendees, including public health professionals, health care providers and MSM health advocates gathered at the Loudermilk Center in Atlanta to discuss how these issues affect the health of the MSM community.
Attendees discussed the heavy burden of HIV and other STDs in the MSM community, but many sessions also focused on issues like homophobia, substance abuse and faith.
"Often, people in the MSM community identify these factors as barriers to addressing health and accessing health care," said Leonardo Parker, MSM coordinator for DPH's STD office and one of the symposium's organizers. "We wanted to focus not just on physical health, but on wellness as a whole."
In 2010, nearly 40 percent of newly diagnosed HIV cases and 44 percent of new AIDS cases in Georgia were among MSM. The community is also heavily impacted by other infectious diseases, including syphilis and meningitis.
But when it comes to addressing the primary cause of these diseases – sex – many health care providers fall short of expectations, said Rodney Perkins, clinical manager of the Gay Men's Health and Wellness Clinic at Whitman-Walker Health in Washington, D.C. and a presenter at the symposium.
"Patients often expect the provider to set the pace in the conversation on sexual health," Perkins said. "But providers also face challenges in having those conversations," including a lack of time to spend with patients, changing clinical guidelines and limited STD services.
Several sessions emphasized that talking about sex is vital to addressing health concerns of the MSM community. In the symposium's keynote lecture, Judie Manulkin, Ph.D., a clinical sexologist at Emory University, discussed how sex influences behavior and encouraged openness around the traditionally taboo topic.
But attendees emphasized that it's equally important to understand the nuanced barriers that keep MSM out of care. One of the symposium's new sessions focused on the response of faith communities to MSM members and those with HIV/AIDS, a prominent issue for MSM in the South. Patrick O'Neal, M.D., DPH's director of health protection, said poor mental health is another barrier that gets too little attention from both the MSM community and health care providers.
"We won't be able to address many of these health concerns until we address the depression, fear and anxiety that keep many patients out of care," he said.
Victor Cano, a social services technician with the Clayton County Board of Health, said the symposium helped him get a better understanding of what the MSM community needs from health care providers.
"It's always good to educate yourself so you can understand how your actions may affect your clients," he said.
Organized by the DPH STD and HIV offices, as well as Fulton County Health and Wellness and the DeKalb County Board of Health, the symposium aims to start dialogue among all those invested in MSM community health. Symposium organizer John Malone said the health of the MSM community depends on better dialogue.
"It's extremely important to talk about these issues, especially in our state with one of the country's largest MSM populations," he said. "We need to find innovative ways to discuss and address these issues."

text: I read somewhere that the length of the exhaust can affect the performance of the car. We have a 2004 Cavalier with the 2.2, all stock. Right now the exhaust pipe stops just past the firewall. The track rules state that the exhaust has to be run just past the driver area. I will extend it to be legal and to be safer. My question is how will it affect the performance of the car? We just got the car and haven't been on a track with it yet. Thanks

I do not support a buisness non-right to ban firearms.
If you are a buisness open to the public, the you get the public. You dont get to exclude groups supported by Constitutional rights. If you want to keep people out, then dont be open to the public.
Question for those who support buisness banning firearms, it is their property right? Then landlords should be able to ban firearms from their property as well right?

Need to taper the thickness of a 2x8 - How?
I need to taper the thickness of a 2x8 that is about 14' long. I need full thickness at one end and about 1/4" less at the opposite end. Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this? My initial thoughts were to use a band saw or table saw - I don't have either of these tools, but know people who do. Other than that, I was going to go to the lumber yard and see if they have any suggestions.
Thanks in advance for any advice
Either a hand plane (block plane) or a power plane.:)
I would use a router. Set up a fence at the appropriate angle, use a straight bit of appropriate depth, make several passes, you are good to go. A piece that long cannot be worked effectively using a taper jig in a tablesaw.
199 Attachment(s)
My question is why would you need to do that?
I've never in construction ever came across a situation were doing something like that would be the best solution.
Not quite fallowing you on the router thing Daniel.
1/4" in 14 feet----Could you tell us what you are trying to do?
So you want to trim a 14' 2x8 by a 1/4", from 1-1/2" to 1-1/4" or .017" per foot of board?
I don't know of any saw that would be capable of doing that task there is more deviation on a 2x8 than you are proposing to remove.
Just go to the lumberyard and search through the pile. We often find some that have one end planed down. Never had an opportunity where it was beneficial though.
This is an odd request and not something a DIYer does or can do expeditiously.
If you tell us the reason, we might be able to suggest an alternative solution more readily done.

Re: 3rd Party Developers
Lockwood has been a long time favorite of mine for there incredible spaces and clothing items (and bundling price points.) Hellfire, for thier great games and interactivity with the community. Lately Granzella has been gaining ground for me. The City of Flower Penthouse is incredible possibly my new all time favorite private space. And they've expanding thier clothing lines to a much broader audience. The Dani Collection dresses (published by Codeglue) are excellent, they're on my list for a future PSN card! LOL (I usually keep an extra PSN card on hand, but my car needs fixin right now, so I'm trying to save money.) Also props for to Codeglue for teaming up with Dani to bring some real-world fasion designs into Home. While not the first time, it's perhaps my favorite example of real-world items.
Also, I immediatly fell in love with the VEEMEE Megastar Dress and Jacket when I saw it in x7 this week, and it's a great price at $.99.

Third party developers are constantly looking for the next hot Home item. Good thing for those who use Home but it is also their job. Their livelihood. I think they do a pretty good job and looking back and seeing some of them grow has been pretty awesome in itself.
Let's talk about a few things.
First off this is not a complaint thread about pricing or items or spaces that have issue but more about the developers themselves and how they are doing. Do They need more competition (Do we need more developers in Home)? Are they doing their part as far as supply and demand? Who is your favorite? What are you looking for in a Home developer?
I'm sorry but this is a sily question. Do you really think anyone is going to say "NO, there are way to many items in Home as is!" If Home is to keep on evolving it needs an never ending list of new stuff being added to Home all the time. If this was ever to stop then Home would start to die. Do we have enough items every update? you think we need more? How much more?
Asking if you think there needs to be more 3rd party devlopers is like asking a kid if he or she would like to goto an amusement park with just 5 rides or one with over 200 rides. It's a no brainer! If we had more developers what should they specialize in?
So the question should not be if Home needs more 3rd party devlopers but why doesn't it? Looks to me like Sony is just not selling their own product. Or, is the reason we are not seeing any new 3rd party developers is due to Home being in a beta.
As for your "supply and demand" no shuch thing in a virtual reality world. Can over-saturation come into play here, has it in the past?

Re: 3rd Party Developers
Thats a good question, of course we'd like to see more 3rd part developers in Home.
I think that the way that we buy would be most impacted due to competitive pricing and the quality of content and here's why.
Right now Sony is allowing certain developers to push items out weekly and multi regionally, while there are other development teams flying holding patterns for release of their content.
Without naming any particular 3rd party developers, its funny how one brand can push out bikini after bikini in almost every region, or flood Home with repetitive LMO items at higher prices, while there are several other developers who still have content waiting to put into stores.
Quantity does not reflect quality either. There are also particular brands that are plagued with bugs and issues in their content yet, because of their name and the sheer amount of stuff theyve put out, almost every week they have something else included in the weekly updates. And to add insult to injury its normally at a higher premium than their competitors.
My main concern is should the 3rd party developers concentrate on specific contents. For example theres one brand that makes really nice kitchen stuff (and lately have been stepping their content line up) but are failing in other item areas due to buggy issues in Home.
I've also noticed that when developers try to cover the entire digital content realm by making a little of everything from Personal Spaces to Home games, LMO's, Public Spaces, furnishings and clothing...their prices are always higher. However the smaller brands that focus on specific niche areas in Home are released by Sony less frequently and they tend to have better pricing with less problems.
As long as a few of the development teams are allowed to have a monopoly on content release in Home, our choices will be hampered and its a safe bet we can expect higher prices attached to sub quality content.
So yes, we need more developers, but then again its a lot of stuff that Home needs more of.
Re: 3rd Party Developers
Re: 3rd Party Developers
Also...I think eventually it would open the door and create cross promotion between developers.
Imagine a public space that had a little something from each and every developer in it. No monopolies, no ego stroking, just..."look what we made by working together". Now THAT would be interesting.

like this. A space would be cool to see.
Re: 3rd Party Developers
Yeah I think thats one of the only things we've never seen in Home. A collaborative effort in part of all of the developers to offer us a public space game like Xi...without any pricing attached to it. Its like their gift to us for our support of them thru the good, bad and ugly. All rewards would be free and I guarantee you that space would be a mainstay and a very well frequented place in Home
Re: 3rd Party Developers[ Edited ]
I think the best way to let a developer know we like them is by buying, owning and using their stuff. I would like to see more outside sponcers( but not over the top commercialization of home) since I believe everyone likes to own unique branded items as they do in rl. I would also like, at least for a short time, more tie in areas/ items from media and games, at least mini-game versions of games sony sells, to see if we would like to buy the whole game or not( like a demo that gives us items).

SFMTA's New Chief Doesn't Own a Car, Commutes by Bike
(San Francisco, KALW) On August 15, San Francisco's Municipal Transportation Agency will get a new chief.
Ed Reiskin will replace Nat Ford as the overseer of all things transit-related.
Reiskin is currently the head of Public Works in San Francisco. He's never run a transit agency, but he's been a manager in city government for a long time.
What's more, he actually rides Muni -- so he knows what he's getting into. He'll start the job facing a whole array of challenges, from implementing a new contract for Muni operators to trying to solve long-term budget problems.
KALW's Casey Miner interviewed Reiskin on his plans.
In the interview we learn that SF's new transpo chief doesn't own a car and commutes to work by bike. He did admit to occasionally sharing a car though, so he's not all together unfamiliar with the Bay Area driving experience.
As for what he's planning to change at "In terms of the specific priorities, I'll find that out once I get there."
Listen to the full interview at KALW News. There's also a transcript.

text: Good points Stan. I'll try to find that article. Would be interested in reading it. Yes there are much cheaper ways to go, and more effective calibers, but none that I'm aware of in such a small package. When I carry a back-up it's a Karr PM 9 with night sigths, also a small package and a very nice pistol. But there's just something about the little Pug, it's always with me. Thanks for the tip on the ammo. I really like Hornady stuff but I'm not married to them!One of the gun rags, think it was Shooting Illustrated, did a test of .22 mags from short-barreled guns a couple of issues back. There were a couple of makes that were better than the Hornady self-defense stuff, can't remember what they were, though. At a buck a pop, the Hornady stuff will sit in the box for awhile, and that was well before the current shortages. I did manage to grab a couple of boxes a few months after they were announced. Last that I've seen. Even the gun show scalpers haven't had any. I ran one cylinder-full through the Earl to check the sights, it all went bang and put holes in the paper where I pointed it. I can load .357s fullhouse for cheaper.

I guess I'm just an old softie at heart, but for some reason this post by Joey "Accordion Guy" deVilla really brought a smile to my face — and almost a tear to my eye as well (don't tell anyone). It's about how Joey's significant other, the Ginger Ninja, was looking through craigslist and came across an ad from two women who were coming to Toronto to get married and were looking for witnesses. What the heck, Joey thinks — let's go. So he and the missus troop down to City Hall with accordion in tow, meet the lovely young couple and act as witnesses, with Joey playing "Praise You" by Fatboy Slim on the squeezebox. Some great pics, and comments from the women who are now married — and even one from craigslist founder Craig Newmark. Very cool. Update: Joey's story made a lot of people happy on Metafilter too.

Thank you for linking to our wedding – we've been thrilled by the wonderful treatment and support of our northern neighbors, and are so very grateful for Toronto and all of its fine residents.
Thank you for being a country with open borders and open minds.

What is the influence of television commercials on American culture? If you could do something about TV commercials what would you do?
I would get rid of them entirely. Almost all are ...
... too loud
... somewhat false or misleading
... repetitive; boring
and all those drug ads ... they spend more time telling you who should NOT take it than who should -- and besides, aren't those decisions for doctors to make?
What's your opinion?
I would get rid of all diet ads, they irritate me. Lies, Lies, lies. Also, I would mind seeing one of the NuWave ovens catch on fire....
And frankly, I am tired of seeing women happy when their toilet shines. Goodness.
I am also greatly disturbed seeing young girls as sex objects in ads. AFter all, they don't come with the new car, do they? or they don't really wear those clothes to school, do they? In real life, I hope, Miley is more practical, and practices safety.

Josh Ritter is an intriguing singer-songwriter. His lyrics are thoughtful, often highly personal and pained, but are set against jaunty melodies that might sometimes seem too simple if they were not so effective. It's a commercial combination that lets him roam across the Americana spectrum, from folk to country to pop.
This gig at the Barbican was billed as a "one-off special acoustic show" and a chance to "experience the raw power" of his new album, The Beast in Its Tracks. Ritter had other ideas, however, and only played three new songs. The album deals with his divorce from the singer Dawn Landes two years ago, and he has clearly moved on – he brought on stage his new baby daughter and her mother, and asked the crowd to sing them happy birthday.
The audience did so, of course, because Ritter mixes charm with infectious enthusiasm. He is a powerful, relaxed singer and guitarist, and was joined here by a two-piece band who switched effectively between guitars, banjo, double bass, keyboards, mandolin and vocal harmonies. They started with the easy-going Best Is for the Best and the atmospheric, keyboard-backed Southern Pacifica, before switching to the new A Certain Light, which showcased Ritter's skill at pained understatement.
He moved on to the Leonard Cohen-influenced Wings, a sturdy solo Snow is Gone, sung unamplified, and ended with the Willie Nelson country weepie Can I Sleep in Your Arms, now joined by Tift Merritt. Last seen on a London stage with classical pianist Simone Dinnerstein, Merritt provided an impressive solo opening set that included a guitar-backed treatment of her own Traveling Alone, and a gently emotional piano-backed reworking of The Dark End of the Street. This was a classy double bill.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
After practice Wednesday, Kevin Garnett addressed the media, answering specific questions about his knee. As you may remember, KG missed much of the second half last season and the entire playoffs due to bone spurs in his knee.
Without Garnett, the Celtics limped through the first round against the Bulls before getting knocked out in Game 7 of the second round against the Magic. With a healthy Garnett, many felt (including yours truly) the Celtics could take on and defeat the might Cavs (just like Orlando did) and give the Lakers a run for their money in the NBA Finals.
The following is a portion of the interview, as seen on Boston.com:
"It's just certain, not necessarily that I can't do or whatever, just from power and strength and not having the options to play, is my only difficulty. You see when I sprint I can't get out and (makes the sound of a speeding car) like I really want to but each day I can honestly say I am getting better and better. 85 percent, 90 percent is pretty accurate. Probably most excited and most uplifting for me is on defense, where I am able to move laterally and recover.
"When a guy makes a strong move, I can respond to that and react to that as opposed to in the past I would have had some problems, I would have reached. For the most part I can move around laterally and defensively better than anything. Offense is just about mixing up schemes and getting people off balance, it will come. Like I said man, I said with a laugh or smiling face yesterday was that strengthening, conditioning of the leg, that's what I am speaking on, not my whole body, is going to take patience on my part. I take it to the limit and I push a little bit past the limit until (trainer) Ed (Lacerte) gives me the daddy look like he wants to kill me or something.
"For the most part, it's going positive man."
Tags: Celtics, injury, Kevin Garnett
Thanks, KC, for the long awaited update on KG, but I think I'm more confused than ever after those strange quotes. What is clear is that Garnett is not at full strength and is still rehabilitating. I would imagine that he'll have reduced playing time for the next few months at least, and we'll probably be seeing a lot of Rasheed Wallace – which is not exactly a thrilling prospect.
Can't say I'm very confident when thinking about the lousy defense that Wallace plays. Could change the whole direction of the team, especially with his Jekyll and Hyde personality. We'll see.
Garnett's Knee Getting Better: After practice Wednesday, Kevin Garnett addressed the media, answering specific .. http://bit.ly/uM5hf
Yeah, Ken. I know it isn't much, but at least Garnett mentions he's 85-90% ready. I agree, they'll definitely carry him along slowly, which means we'll see more Rasheed Wallace and Big Baby. Forcing 'Sheed into action early may be good for him, because it'll force him to get used to his teammates.
If Garnett can never get healthy this season, you can kiss the Larry O'Brien Trophy goodbye, sadly.

The 55th annual Charleston Public Courts tennis tournament will miss a chance at an epic rematch on Saturday.
James Kent, the top-seeded player in the men's open singles division, will not go on to defend his 2013 title after falling to seventh-seeded Ryan Massinople 7-6, 2-6, 7-6 Thursday evening at Schoenbaum Tennis Courts in Kanawha City, erasing a shot at a replay of last year's final between Kent and No. 2 seed Patrick Walker.
Kent has won a record eight men's open singles titles, two more than Walker (6), who defeated fourth-seeded Chris Pratt 6-1, 6-1 Thursday. Walker took down Kent in 2006 and 2009, while Kent was victorious in last year's final.
Massinople and Walker will square off in Saturday's final at Schoenbaum.

Uptake of Freeview - the free-to-air digital television and radio service - has been faster than expected, with installed receivers in over 100,000 Kiwi homes.
The latest figures show that over 25,000 receivers have been sold this quarter, swelling the total to 123,903, including 7594 high-definition versions.
The current arrangement from Government on digital television dictates that the analogue broadcast will be shut off when coverage reaches 70 per cent, or 2012, whichever comes first.
Freeview boss Steve Browning says that between the freebie service and Sky digital broadcasts, coverage is now sitting at around 50 per cent.
"We didn't think it would be quite this fast," he admits.
Users of standard analogue televisions will need to buy an add-on box to receive digital broadcast when the switchover is eventually made.
Freeview receivers currently come in two flavours - HD and standard definition - but this will change later this year or early next with the arrival of a PVR model which will allow users to record one Freeview channel and watch another.
It will run a system with features like American TiVo, which suggests similar content for viewers and features series link technology similar to that employed by Sky's new HDi decoders.
This will record every episode of a show without having to manually enter recording details.
It also features a impressive work around for timing clashes between shows.
Browning explained that - using Shortland Street as an example, if the receiver has a programming clash for a weeknight episode, it will look forward and choose between rescreenings on other digital channels, or pick the episode out of the weekend 'Omnibus'.
Browning can not yet release full details about the machine, but says working spec includes at least two tuners and a large hard disk drive.
Sony has today released Bravia LCD televisions with built-in Freeview HD tuners which use the same interface as other Freeview devices already in the marketplace. Using the localised GUI is a first for the Japanese electronics giant.
Browning says the Freeview service has resonated with New Zealanders, and that he has been impressed by the speed of its uptake.
"We are all acutely aware that the cost of living has gone up dramatically this year," he says. "This makes Freeview's offer of digital quality TV and radio for a one-off cost and no ongoing payments very appealing,".
He says there have been a few teething problems with the new service, and while nothing remotely as embarrassing as Prime's porn blunder, a kids' show was broadcast without sound - raising an immediate reaction from peace-starved Mums throughout the country.
The adoption of Freeview into New Zealand homes is likely to increase further during the Olympics, with high-def coverage of events as well as 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. There will also be an exclusive channel giving extended coverage - including smaller sports unlikely to enjoy mainstream coverage - called TVNZ Sport Extra on Freeview 20.

The job looks like it belong to Charles Brown (+1.0) and there was nothing in his 20 snaps to suggest any different. In 13 pass blocks he gave up no pressure, though he only had to deal with Tamba Hali for two pass rushes.
The next man up was Terron Armstead (+1.9) who had some issues against the run (he nearly gave up a tackle for a loss but for a missed tackle from Edgar Jones) but was solid in pass protection. The third man in was Jason Smith (+0.9) who didn't embarrass himself.
You can only beat what is in front of you and Tyrunn Walker (+3.7) certainly did that. It was a noteworthy display by the 2012 undrafted free agent, with the Saints not looking like a team full of interior pass rush. He picked up four hurries, chased down a screen pass for a tackle for no gain, and added two defensive stops in the run game.
The Saints' switch to a 3-4 defense promises to take advantage of some of their talent. Most noticeably Cameron Jordan (+2.9)... He only had 20 snaps but walked away with a QB hit and two defensive stops.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is Will Smith (-1.3). He'll spend a lot of time with his hand in the dirt, but three snaps in coverage for the big man is probably three too many.
The Saints only missed six tackles, while the Chiefs were up at 11.
quote:They had that that many on one play last year.
holy shite - only 6 missed tackles - that's amazing.
only 6 missed tackles
The linebackers concern me. The Chiefs first time dinked and dunked their way to a touchdown on the opening drive. Nothing downfield, a lot of passes crossing in front of linebackers. Will Smith has no shot at defending that kind of stuff.

Will Smith at OLB in 2013 has to be one of the worst decisions in history of the world. Maybe not top 5 worst decisions, but top 100 worst decisions for sure. No way is one of those UDFA OLBs not better than him.

FAMU trustees heard a lengthy presentation on Wednesday about a more than $1 million deficit in the school's athletic program.
It was during that discussion that FAMU officials acknowledged that they are looking at offering other entertainment in case the popular band remains on suspension.
FAMU President James Ammons suspended the band in the wake of the death of FAMU death major Robert Champion last November.
He died following what police said was hazing while the band was in Orlando.
Trustees will consider Wednesday whether to adopt a new rule that requires all students and faculty to report allegations of hazing to police within 24 hours.

HORNBY, District Judge.
The latest installment of this dispute under the Organic Foods Production Act ("OFPA") of 1990, 7 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq., presents two questions: (1) Has an intervening Act of Congress relieved the Secretary of Agriculture from complying with a consent decree to which the Secretary previously acceded? (2) Is the plaintiff requesting relief beyond the scope of the
Magistrate Judge Kravchuk and I ruled initially on the plaintiff Harvey's challenge to Department of Agriculture ("UDSA") regulations. Harvey v. Veneman, No. 02cv-216-P-H, 2003 WL 22327171 (D.Me. Oct. 10, 2003); Harvey v. Veneman, 297 F.Supp.2d. 334 (D.Me.2004) (order granting summary judgment). In 2005, the First Circuit reversed us as to Count 3 of Harvey's Complaint. It declared that two USDA regulations, 7 C.F.R. §§ 205.600(b) and 605(b), were "contrary to the plain language of OFPA and therefore exceed the Secretary's statutory authority." Harvey v. Veneman, 396 F.3d 28, 40 (1st Cir. 2005). On remand, the plaintiff and the Secretary agreed upon relief. Accordingly, on June 9, 2005, I entered the Final Judgment that they proposed. Consent Final Judgment and Order, No. 02-cv-216-P-H (Docket Item 88) (Consent Decree). That consent decree ordered the Secretary to revise the regulations within 360 days, a time period that now has passed. Id. at 4.
In the meantime, in November 2005, Congress amended the OFPA in the 2006 Agricultural Appropriations bill through language added in conference committee without recorded discussion or debate. Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2006, Pub.L. No. 109-97, 119 Stat. 2120 (2005). The Secretary maintains that the amendment corrected the statutory language upon which the First Circuit relied to invalidate the regulations in Harvey. The Secretary, therefore, has declined to revise the original regulations. In the agency statement accompanying the final rule implementing other portions of the judgment in Harvey, the Secretary explained:
71 Fed.Reg. 32803, 32803-04 (June 7, 2006) (to be codified at 7 C.F.R. pt. 205).
As a result, Harvey has moved to enforce and the Secretary has moved to vacate a portion of the Consent Decree. Harvey has also asked that I order the USDA to revoke or revise its 2002 Policy Statement on food contact substances. He complains that the Policy Statement permits the use of food contact substances in organic foods without proper review. The Secretary responds that this request is for new relief not encompassed by either the Consent Decree or the original lawsuit.
A court has power to enforce its judgment. U.S.I. Properties Corp. v. M.D. Const. Co., 230 F.3d 489, 496 (1st Cir. 2000). But a court is also permitted to grant relief from a final judgment if "it is no longer equitable that the judgment should have prospective application." Fed. R.Civ.P. 60(b)(5). Supreme Court precedent makes clear that subsequent legislation changing the law upon which a decree originally was based is just such a case. Pennsylvania v. Wheeling & Belmont
The challenged regulations that the First Circuit struck down have permitted the use of synthetic substances in the handling of organic foods. Regulation section 205.600(b) provides that synthetic substances may be used "as a processing aid or adjuvant" if they meet six criteria. 7 C.F.R. § 205.600(b). Regulation section 205.605(b) is the so-called National List of synthetics permitted in organic products, including ingredients, processing aids, and other types of substances. 7 C.F.R. § 205.605(b).
The First Circuit invalidated the regulations because of statutory language appearing in 7 U.S.C. §§ 6510 and 6517. Before the 2005 amendments, section 6510(a)(1) provided that certified handling operations for organic food "shall not, with respect to any agricultural product covered by this chapter . . . add any synthetic ingredient during the processing or any postharvest handling of this product." (Emphasis added). The relevant part of section 6517(c)(1) provided:
(Emphasis added). The First Circuit held that these two sections prohibited the use of synthetic substances in the handling of organically labeled products. 396 F.3d at 39. Upon remand to this court, the parties agreed upon the text of a consent decree and final judgment and I entered it accordingly: "7 C.F.R. §§ 205.600(b) and 605(b) are contrary to the OFPA and exceed the Secretary's rulemaking authority to the extent that they permit the addition of synthetic ingredients and processing aids in handling . . ." Consent Decree at 3 (emphasis added).
The OFPA amendments in 2005 made three relevant changes to the statute. Congress added language to section 6510 to limit the scope of its prohibition on synthetic ingredients. Now section 6510 prohibits only the addition of "any synthetic ingredient not appearing on the National List during processing or any post harvest handling of the product" (emphasis on language added by amendment). Congress also demonstrated its intent to allow the National List to exempt substances used in handling by changing the title to section 6517(c)(1). Now it reads: "Exemption for prohibited substances in organic production and handling operations" (emphasis on language added by amendment). Congress also eliminated the language of subsection 6517(c)(1)(B)(iii) altogether. This is the language I quoted above that the First Circuit relied upon in striking down the regulations, language that previously provided that a substance had to be non-synthetic in order to be listed for use in handling operations.
Congress's objective in making these amendments is clear: synthetic substances can be permitted in handling.
But Harvey argues that the amendments only address synthetic ingredients, whereas the consent decree clearly prohibited
I am not persuaded. First, Harvey relies on a distinction between "processing aid" and "ingredient" that appears nowhere in the statute either before or after the 2005 amendments. See 7 U.S.C. § 6502 (no definition of "ingredient" or "processing aid"); see also 7 U.S.C. § 6501 et. seq. (no mention of "processing aid" in the statute)
Third, Harvey's focus on the distinction between "ingredients" and "processing aids" made in the consent decree is misplaced. He argues that Congress "must be presumed to have been aware of the terms of the Judgment it was purportedly responding to, which directed USDA to revise its regulations to prohibit synthetic ingredients and processing aids." Pl.'s Reply at 9. (emphasis original). Much as it might be flattering to think that Congress concerned itself with what appeared over my signature, it is the decision of the regional court of appeals, the First Circuit, that concerned Congress. Congress actually named the First Circuit decision. It directed the Secretary to "conduct an evaluation of any impacts of the court decision in Harvey v. Veneman, 396 F.3d 28 (1st Cir.Me.2005)." Pub.L. No. 109-97, § 724, 119 Stat. 2120, 2153 (2005). And, unlike the consent decree, the First Circuit opinion did not focus on the distinction between ingredients and processing aids.
In the end, Harvey's statutory argument comes down to the assertion that Congress should have inserted the word "processing aid" in section 6510 if it meant to allow the use of synthetic processing aids in handling. I disagree. The amendment to section 6510 simply clarifies that the old prohibition on the use of synthetic ingredients in handling no longer applies to the use of synthetic ingredients appearing on the National List. To use Harvey's words, "Section 6510 is by its terms applicable only to the addition of ingredients," Motion to Clarify at 10-11, and says nothing one way or another about processing aids. Congress authorized the use of synthetic processing aids in handling with its amendments to section 6517. As noted above, Congress amended the title of the subsection so that it now reads "[e]xemption for prohibited substances in organic production and handling operations." 7 U.S.C. § 6517(c)(1) (Emphasis added). The text then provides: "The National List may provide for the use of substances in an organic . . . handling operation that are otherwise prohibited under this chapter" and lists the conditions for such use. Id. Congress struck from the text the provision that the First Circuit relied on in Harvey to invalidate the use of synthetics in handling under this section.
I therefore conclude that the 2005 amendments eliminated the First Circuit's statutory basis for holding the regulations in question invalid. As a result, the Final Judgment with regard to Count 3 is
According to Harvey, a 2002 USDA Policy Statement currently posted on the National Organic Program website "permits the use in organic foods of `food contact substances' . . . without review for inclusion on the National List." Mot. to Enforce at 3.
In part, Harvey's attack on the FCS policy statement is an extension of the argument that I have just rejected. He says: "the [2005] OFPA amendment did not reach synthetic processing aids, and thus the Court's Judgment remains in effect as to them." Pl.'s Reply at 17. Because I have rejected Harvey's underlying premise, this portion of the attack fails.
To the extent Harvey's attack is broader, I do not see how this USDA policy, whether consistent with the OFPA or not, is subject to a motion to enforce a final judgment and order that did not mention it, ordering compliance with a First Circuit decision that did not consider it.
Accordingly, I

Barrington men run the Grand Canyon
There is a sign posted at the top of the south rim of the Grand Canyon.
Meant as a word of caution, it reads: "Do not attempt to hike from the canyon rim to the river and back in one day. Each year hikers suffer serious illness or death from exhaustion."
It is likely that the sign helps keep the vast majority of those people visiting the Grand Canyon each year perched safely atop the rim. However, it did little to dissuade Larson Gunness and Rob Trachtenberg from lacing up their sneakers and running the Grand Canyon from rim-to-rim in just six hours time late last month.
The two Barrington residents recently returned from their Sept. 29 adventure, nursing some sore muscles and overtired bodies, but relishing in an experience that few people have ever attempted.
It was Rob's idea, said Larson during a recent interview.
He said it was just a day or two after this year's Boston Marathon in April, which Larson ran and which was scarred by a deadly terrorist bombing near the finish line. Rob had been in Boston that day to watch Larson run the race, his first Boston Marathon ever. And for six scary hours after the explosions, Rob had tried to reach his friend and running partner.
Finally, at about 9 that night, Rob stopped over Larson's house. They talked about the bombing and the emotional toll the day had taken. A day later, Rob mentioned the Grand Canyon, and Larson jumped at the idea.
On Sunday, Sept. 29, Larson and Rob woke early inside their hotel room and climbed out of their beds. They pulled on their running shorts, shirts, socks, laced up their sneakers, and by 5:40 a.m., stood at the head of the Bright Angel Trail on the south rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
The sun was buried below the horizon. The early morning air was crisp and cool. And the trail was almost completely quiet when the two locals took their first steps.
The next nine miles of their adventure were downhill over rocky, rugged terrain. It was not like running in Barrington. Nothing was flat or paved or easy to traverse. "You have to pay attention to every step," Larson said.
During short breaks to eat and fill their water bottles, the two men gazed into the canyon. They saw sunlight brighten the first few layers of earth at the top of the canyon walls and move slowly down toward the river. They were amazed with the colors and the quiet.
"It was just spectacular," Rob said. "After the first three and a half or four miles, Larson and I had stopped. There was no one else on the trail and it was perfectly quiet. It was just spectacular."
The two men covered 5,000 vertical feet to the canyon floor where they took a break to eat some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches Rob had made a few days earlier. They sat at a picnic table not far from where hikers can camp overnight. They snapped a few photos.
Then it was up.
For the next 14 miles and 6,000 vertical feet, Rob and Larson pushed uphill over more difficult terrain. The camera phones stayed stowed in their backpacks, as the two focused on the climb. A low grade incline morphed into a steeper pitch, and steeper again. There were moments, Larson said, where it felt like they were going straight up.
The jog slowed at times to a hike for the locals, who despite the challenge, managed to pass at least four other individuals on the journey.
Larson recalled reaching the seven-mile mark — just seven more miles to go before they had conquered the rim-to-rim. The two experienced distance runners knew they could cover seven miles with little effort back in Barrington, cruising the flat roads with relative ease. But this final leg of the canyon run would not be easy.
They sucked down more water and devoured gel energy packets and kept moving. Then, with less than three miles left, everything seemed to get easier, said Larson. He felt stronger.
"It was kind of a spiritual moment," he said. "I just felt like … this is awesome. I was in the zone. I was tired, but I was in the zone."
Six hours after they had started the trek at the top of the south rim, Larson and Rob stood at the top of the north rim. A flat mile stood between them and the lodge where they were to stay that night, but walking the distance was not an option. The two men hitched a ride back to their rooms from some sightseers.
That night they called their families back in Barrington and shared their story. Then they sat down for a meal, watched a few quarters of the Patriots game that was on the television and retired to some chairs outside the lodge that overlooked miles of unspoiled, uncluttered landscape.
"It was just beautiful," Larson said.
The two local men said they would love to do the run again, although now they're considering the rim-to-rim-to-rim — a daunting excursion down into the canyon, up the other side, and then back down and up again.
"I think I'd like to do that," said Rob.
Larson and Rob also agreed that the next time they take on the Grand Canyon, they will bring their families along.

After capturing their first ECAC tournament championship last season, the Buckeyes look to repeat in their last year as a member of the conference. Before making the move to the newly-minted Big Ten, the Buckeyes would love to end their tenure with a second consecutive ECAC title. Doing so will not be easy, especially without All-American, co-captain, and leading scorer Logan Schuss. The Buckeyes, led by 5th year coach Nick Myers, aim to build upon the program's success of being granted a 3-seed and its first home NCAA tournament game. The season ended unceremoniously with a 16-6 loss to semi-finalist and national power Cornell, but this year's squad looks to live up to early pre-season hype.
The Buckeyes are the pre-season 7th ranked team according to Inside Lacrosse. Using this poll, the Buckeyes schedule contains 4 top-15 opponents, those being Johns Hopkins, Notre Dame, Denver, and Penn State. Another game of note for Ohio State lacrosse fans (or Ohio State fans in general) is the Showdown in the Shoe on April 12th, a game against Michigan before the playing of the annual Spring Game. The Buckeyes will be playing in Columbus often, with 7 of their 13 games being played in Columbus. Also of interest for fans is the number of exhibitions being played at the Woody Hayes Center, with the Buckeyes taking on Hill Academy, Navy, and Robert Morris all before their televised season debut against the Blue Jays of Johns Hopkins on February 9th.
In terms of individual contributors, make sure to keep an eye on Jessie King, the junior Canadian and leading returning scorer for the Buckeyes. His 2013 campaign saw a 55 point season, with 32 goals and 23 assists and 18 GB's as well. The midfielder was just named a pre-season First Team All-American, along with long-pole Joe Meurer. Meurer and returning goalie and captain Greg Dutton look to shore up a defense that was ranked in the top 15 in the country last season, as well as serving as co-captains for the squad.
With a level of unprecedented success last season, the Buckeyes have high expectations for their 2014 campaign and hope to march past the quarterfinals and make their first ever Final Four appearance. Achieving this goal would end a fantastic run in the ECAC and would make for an excellent entrance into the Big Ten in 2015. I will be following the team week-to-week on my blog on this site, so make sure to check back periodically for write-ups for the lacrosse Buckeyes throughout the season. Looking forward to a great season and Go Bucks!
Just for a little excitement, here's a recap of the 2013 team from the athletic department!

Our heads hang in shame over crime against women: Sonia
UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi said a bill will soon be passed to tackle crime against women.
Khanpur Kalan: Amid rising cases of crime against women, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Friday said "our heads hang in shame" due to recurring incidents of rapes and other violence against women. Flagging concerns about female foeticide and crime against women, Gandhi exhorted women not to bow down to difficulties in future and face them with courage as the country needs them at all responsible positions.
Her remarks came as the country celebrates International Women's Day on Friday. "Such incidents (rapes and crime against women) are happening all over the country.Our heads hang in shame because of these rapes and crimes against women," Gandhi said at the dedication of a Women's Medical College and Convocation ceremony of Bhagat Phool Singh Mahila University in Haryana.
Noting that the Congress-led UPA government has taken several steps to protect women and empower them socially and economically, she said a bill will soon be passed to tackle crime against women. She spoke about government's budget announcement about earmarking Rs 1,000 crore each for opening women's banks across the country and Nirbhaya Fund.
A bill has also been introduced to give share to women in parental property and to stop incidents of sexual harassment and domestic violence, she said. Congratulating women on the occasion of Women's Day, she said, "One needs to take stronger steps to end the stigma on rape victims and other victims of crime against women. "It is the responsibility of educated girls and everyone to raise your voice against these social ills," she said.
Noting that India has an "unsettled neighbourhood" and needed to remain alert, Singh said the government will "never compromise" with its national interests. "With Pakistan, we have made sincere efforts to normalise relations. We have achieved some results, people to people contact and trade has shown improvement.
"But there cannot be normalisation, unless and until the terror machine, which is still active in Pakistan, is brought under control. This has been our policy since last 9 years and
this will be our same approach to deal with Pakistan in the coming times," the Prime Minister said.
On the plight of ethnic Tamils in Sri Lanka, Singh shared the concern expressed by members and asked the government there to ensure "dignity and self respect" to them. "We have been worried about the fate of Tamil people in Sri Lanka.. There must be political reconciliation. Without the reconciliation, the situation cannot be resolved there. "Sri Lanka government must take initiative to talk to the Tamil leadership in Sri Lanka and ensure that the Tamil people are given a life of dignity and self respect," he said.
Singh said India wants its neighbours to prosper and will work with them to strive for providing the SAARC region with new growth, not achieved so far. Terming the debate on the Motion of Thanks as "vigorous" and "wide-ranging", the Prime Minister tore into BJP's charge that his government has not handled the economy well as he cited figures to show the growth had been better during the UPA rule than the NDA rule.
He particularly singled out Leader of Opposition Arun Jaitley for his attack, saying he should assess the economic situation in an unbiased manner, using his "good sense" and not merely score political points. He shared the members' concern over the slow-down of economy during the current fiscal but exuded confidence that the country will get back to the path of 7 to 8 per cent growth in the next two to three years.
Hooda also noted that girls fared better than boys in the field of education in 2011-12. Steps such as Priyadarshini Awaas Yojna have been taken under which 3.5 lakh houses would be constructed in rural and urban areas for poor people and the woman of the family would have ownership rights, he said.
Parents of only girl child were being given monthly pension from the age of 45 years. Assistance of Rs.31,000 and Rs.11,000 is also being given on the marriage of girls belonging to Schedules Castes and daughters of widows living below poverty line, he said. The program was attended by Haryana Governor Jagannath Pahadia, state Education Minister Geeta Bhukkal and Vice Chancellor of the University Pankaj Mittal.

Rich Peverley's contributions on second line make extension a no-brainer
|10.11.11 at 2:36 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Rich Peverley's presence on the second line has paid off through three games, and Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli rewarded him Tuesday with a three-year deal worth a reported $9.75 million.
Through three games, Peverley leads the Bruins with two goals, while Brad Marchand's three points (a goal and two assists) ties him with Tyler Seguin for the team lead. With the top line struggling out of the gate, the second line of Peverley, Marchand and center Patrice Bergeron has done enough early on to make the Bruins secure Peverley's services for three years after his current deal expires.
"He's a great player. I really like playing with him," Marchand said Tuesday of Peverley. "He's very fast, very quick and great with the puck. I think our line is starting to jell a little more every day. Hopefully we can continue to build and create more opportunities each game.
Peverley had tough shoes to fill when he jumped on the second line in place of the retired Mark Recchi. The former Predator and Thrasher first began seeing time with Marchand and Bergeron in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals last season and was reunited with the the other two during the preseason.
What Peverley brings, aside from his obvious weapon of speed, is an ability to get pucks on net, which at times was an area of weakness for the Bruins last season. He totaled 201 shots last season between Atlanta and Boston, which would have ranked second amongst Bruins forwards and third overall on the team (Zdeno Chara led the team with 264, with Bergeron having 211) had he played the whole season with the team.
"He's a versatile player. He can play any of the three forward positions," Chiarelli said of Peverley. "He brings them speed. I'm not taking anything away from Rex, but he's a little faster than Rex. He shoots the pucks and he digs out pucks, and when he needs to, he'll go to those dirtier areas. That's what I really noticed about him last year in the drive to the Cup. He would sacrifice his body and go to those areas and not always win the puck, but he was willing to go there."
Chiarelli said Tuesday that he had envisioned Peverley as a possible top-six forward when the team acquired him from the Thrashers, and that he hasn't been surprised by his contributions with Marchand and Bergeron thus far.
"Sometimes there's a fine line between the top six and the top seven or eight," Chiarelli said. "We always felt that he was in that mix before we got him. We liked the way that he fit into our group. It doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be in our top six so to speak for the rest of the year, but I like to think of our [top] three lines as three equal lines. I like his speed, I like his grit for his skill package. He's got a terrific shot. I like the way his speed backs off the D. It made us a faster team."
Regardless of whether he sticks on that second line for the season, he's certainly helping it now.
"They're aggressive with and without the puck," Chiarelli said. "He's a good fit on that line."
