Objectives: Given the profound impact of obesity on the genesis of endometrial cancer, this study proposes to prospectively evaluate the baseline prevalence of menstrual irregularities and endometrial pathology in morbidly obese women and discover risk stratification markers that can potentially identify the highest risk women who might benefit from targeted cancer prevention strategies in a future clinical trial.
- Specific Aim 1: To assess the prevalence of menstrual irregularities and to correlate gynecologic and menstrual history with the perceived personal risk and severity of gynecologic cancers in a population of female bariatric surgery candidates.
- Specific Aim 2: To determine the prevalence of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer in morbidly obese women undergoing bariatric surgery.
- Specific Aim 3: To obtain adipose, endometrium, and blood samples (before and after) bariatric surgery to assess baseline hormone levels and adipocyte-derived factors and to correlate with presence of menstrual irregularities, endometrial hyperplasia or cancer, and with postsurgical weight changes.
- Specific Aim 1: After informed consent is obtained, a survey and medical history of prospective bariatric surgery patients will be performed at the University of Virginia.
- Specific Aim 2: For those women who undergo bariatric surgery, study investigators will perform endometrial biopsies at the time of bariatric surgery on participants to determine the status of the endometrial lining and the potential presence of endometrial cancer and its precursors.
- Specific Aim 3: At the time of surgery, blood, adipose, and endometrial tissue samples will collected for evaluation of adipocyte-related factors and correlation with clinical endpoints. Blood will also be collected at 6 and 12 months after surgery.
Anticipated results: This study will identify the prevalence and correlation of menstrual irregularities with endometrial abnormalities and cancer in morbidly obese women as well as define their perceived risk of developing cancer. Serum biomarkers in obese women with and without endometrial cancer/precancer would be evaluated for correlation and potential applicability for endometrial cancer screening in this high-risk population. Most importantly, this study may provide evidence as to whether screening (via endometrial biopsy or other serum markers) is warranted in asymptomatic, morbidly obese women and suggest potential preventive and risk reduction mechanisms.

Optical Illusion Messes With Your Mind [VIDEO]
Why, oh why, does our brain enjoy playing tricks on us? Watch this nifty little video if you enjoy playing games…with your mind!
YouTuber greenpro2009 says, "We can't help but "connect the dots", which lead inward toward the center, and that skews our perception of the reality of the parallel pattern."
Which, in plain English, I take to mean this IS really a parallel checkerboard – our minds just don't think so.

Man dies in Shenzhen after being swallowed by massive hole - video
One man died when a massive sink hole opened up under his feet at a Shenzhen residential compound on Tuesday evening, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported.
The sink hole that swallowed 25-year old security guard Yang Jiabin measured five metres in diameter and was some four floors deep.
It is unclear what caused the tragedy. The daily said residents at the residential compound have repeatedly complained about tremors caused by an adjacent construction site only two metres from where the collapse occurred.
The construction site belongs to the Shenzhen Press Group, a publisher of some of the city's leading newspapers, the daily said.
The Shenzhen Special Zone Daily, one of the group's newspapers, reported the collapse without mentioning its parent company. It did quote "an on-site expert" saying that the buildings near the sink hole were safe.
Residents did not heed assurances and many left to spend the night in a hotel or with friends, the Guangming Daily wrote.

According to the EEOC, the new guidance is predicated on and supported by federal court precedent concerning the application of Title VII to employer consideration of a job applicant's or employee's criminal history and incorporates judicial decisions issued since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. The guidance also updates relevant data and consolidates previous EEOC policy statements on the use of criminal history information. The EEOC includes in the guidance examples of steps employers can take to comply with Title VII when making employment decisions based on criminal history. The guidance concludes with recommended "best practices" for employers. The enforcement guidance generally discusses liability based on disparate treatment, but it focuses on disparate impact liability. According to national criminal history data on which the EEOC relied in drafting the guidance, criminal background-checking policies have a disproportionate effect on racial and ethnic minorities. The national data provides the EEOC with a basis for investigating Title VII disparate impact charges challenging adverse actions based on criminal records. The enforcement guidance:
o facts or circumstances surrounding the offense or conduct;
o the number of offenses for which the individual was convicted;
o age at the time of conviction or release from prison;work history; and
o rehabilitation efforts, such as training and education.
Though the enforcement guidance is not binding on employers, it is nevertheless important for employers to examine their policies regarding background checks and applicants' or employees' criminal history because the EEOC will consider the document when enforcing Title VII. Further, although the guidance does not prohibit employers from asking about convictions on job applications or require that employers provide an "individualized assessment" for candidates screened out by a background check, the EEOC will look to see whether employers have these policies in place when investigating a charge challenging an adverse action based on criminal history. When reviewing their policies, employers must also consider risks beyond noncompliance with Title VII, such as liability based on negligent hiring. If you have any questions associated with this guidance, please contact a member of the firm's Labor and Employment group.

15 Cats That Are Very Disappointed In You
Being judged by humans is hard, but you're never going to regret your actions more than after these cats have heard about them. Fortunately for you, they probably aren't judging you as much as this one is.
This kitten is feeling down in the dumps because you forgot to wish your grandma a happy birthday.
This cat is cross that you overslept for your interview this morning. Your hair looked awful.
This cat just caught you home "sick" from work, but he knows that the doctor recommends bed rest and not playing with your Guitar Hero "band."
This cat is making fun of you for thinking that Crocs were a good choice to wear on the first date.
This cat with a smushed face is kind of annoyed that you didn't floss your teeth last night. Especially after you ate all that steak and then polished it off with a bunch of Milk Duds.
This cat simply wants to know WHY you thought it would be a good idea to eat at White Castle after midnight.
This cat is appalled on how dirty you've allowed the bathroom to get.
This cat is upset about how smelly the house is because you STILL haven't taken the trash out.
This cat is utterly shocked at how many episodes of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo you watched yesterday.
cat is wondering why there's no power. Oh yeah, you couldn't pay the electric bill because you "had" to have that pair of Manolo Blahniks.
This cat is quite distressed that you left for the weekend and "forgot" to take out the trash. Your roommates are, too.
This cat was proud of you for eating a 100-calorie pack of Fudge Stripes, but then he found out you ate five packs of them.
This cat would like to know why you think it's okay to talk about your mother like that—you wouldn't be here without her.
This cat is upset that she has to help you look for your keys because you went out until four in the morning last night.
This cat is curious why, after he asked you if he should try out the new hot style, you said he could "pull it off."
Maybe the real issue is that you should think more about your life and your decisions before you make them. Then these cats—and this cat—wouldn't end up so disappointed in you.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/3/2014 (1203 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
While Brandon's ambulance service has been deemed excellent by the majority of those surveyed last year, bumpy rides to the hospital remain an issue, according to the fire chief.
Fire and Emergency Services released the 2013 results of its annual EMS survey on ambulance satisfaction last week, which shows the majority of the 400 responders deemed the service and paramedics "excellent."
Paramedics' interaction, knowledge and treatment scored 64 per cent in the excellent category, a number which has remained steady for the past two years.
Of those surveyed, 55 per cent ranked confidence in ambulance service as "excellent" as well, up from 52 per cent in 2012 and 47 per cent in 2011.
Along with the 10-question survey, riders were able to provide comments regarding trips. One complaint has been a perennial thorn in the service's side, according to Fire Chief Brent Dane.
"A lot of the complaints is the ride of the ambulance, how rough it is," he said. "That's a big complaint."
While the current configuration of the ambulances give drivers stability, Dane said it's hard to miss any bumps or potholes on the road.
To make the trips across Brandon's pothole-riddled streets, the current fleet vehicles have the same suspension as a three-quarter-ton pickup truck.
In past years, the region has tried air ride suspension on fleet vehicles, but are temperamental when the temperatures plummet, Dane said.
"And even with an air ride, when you hit a pothole, it isn't going to protect you all that well," he said.
"There's just no getting around it."
Especially if a patient has a back or neck injury, the smallest bump can mean excruciating pain, Dane added.
"I know the staff feel terrible because you know it's adding pain to the patient, it is pretty hard."
The survey aimed to get representation from three age demographics as well as those who travel outside of Brandon, though the majority of respondents were over 60 years old.
"It is a big focus through Manitoba Health, Prairie Mountain Health and ourselves to make sure that patient care is No. 1," he said. "That's a focus every year."
About 60 per cent of those surveyed were for trips within Brandon, 18 per cent were trips to Winnipeg, 14 per cent were those coming into Brandon, and seven per cent were marked "other."

Camp for CSI enthusiasts
The nearly 40 ninth- through 12th-graders who attended the camp in two week-long sessions tested hair samples, matched bullets and shell casings from a day at the firing range, and spent a day at the State Police Forensics Lab in Pikesville.
The camp, taught by Physics professor Jeff Marx and Chemistry professor Brian Wladkowski, also featured a lie detector test in which the students had to answer such questions as "Did you break any camp rules?" and "Are you attracted to any other campers?"
"My favorite part of the week was during blood testing," said Ellie Smith of New Mexico. "Dr. Wladkowski screamed like a baby."
Every student pricked his or her finger and tested with different solutions to determine blood type.
Jeff Marx, camp counselor Carrie Thomas (Forensic Science major at University of New Haven) and Victoria Vini of Germantown, Md.
The students didn't spend the whole week in the lab, however. The professors took each group to see the new "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" films, and they also were able to interact with other groups on campus, such as the soccer and football campers.
Some of the campers will be first-year students at McDaniel in the fall. Among them, Andrew Mackey of Derwood, Md., is considering majoring in Computer Science. Twins Lauren and Lena Marsteller of Frederick, Md., chose McDaniel for the small classes and community, and are interested in studying Biology and Sociology.
Forensics Camp is what Wladkowski calls a "small but diverse group," with students from all over Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, as well as Florida, Colorado, New Mexico and Massachusetts.

Mobile professionals hoping to get the G1 for business may be disappointed, as it appears the handset will be aimed at the mass market. The G1 won't have Microsoft Exchange support built in, and there won't be a desktop syncing client from T-Mobile or Google.
"This device will have mass appeal and something for everybody," said Cole Brodman, chief technology and innovation officer at T-Mobile USA during the debut press conference. "We expect it to be more for the consumer, not necessarily for enterprises."
Brodman did add that he expects some mobile workers to use the device anyway, and the G1 will be able to view Word documents, PDFs, and Excel documents. Additionally, the G1 will have push Gmail, and IMAP and POP3 e-mail support, and executives said the Exchange support could be quickly remedied by a third-party application.
For now, it appears that enterprise users who need their corporate e-mails and contacts would best to stick with a BlackBerry, Windows Mobile device, or possibly an iPhone 3G.
The Android OS is expected to be on a slate of devices in the next few years from LG Electronics, Samsung, Sprint, and more, so future handsets may have the security and features to thrive within the enterprise.
The G1 is able to play multiple codecs of audio and video, and should be a capable multimedia device. In an industry first, the handset will be preloaded with an Amazon application that enables users to search, buy, download, and play DRM-free music from Amazon's MP3 store, which offers more than 6 million songs.
The account is tied to your Amazon account, so one-click buying can be enabled. Users can only download songs over Wi-Fi, but purchases can be made over 3G or EDGE. In a potentially sour note, the handset doesn't include a headset jack and instead relies on a USB adaptor.
The Amazon tie-in is a potential coup for the G1 and Android, as it could provide a viable alternative for the iTunes juggernaut. For now, it appears that the iPhone 3G will continue to have the best multimedia functions, but handsets like the G1, BlackBerry Bold, and multiple devices from Nokia are quickly closing the gap.
The Android Market, which will go live Oct. 22, is expected to be a key driver for Android adoption, and while it appears similar to Apple's App Store, there will be some fundamental differences between the two.
Unlike Apple's offering, there won't be an approval process for Android apps. Drawing on its experience, Google will host the market, but the uploading, publishing, and distribution method will be similar to YouTube. This significantly lowers the barrier of entry for developers, as some have complained that Apple's approval process is mysterious and unfair. But it's unknown at the moment if there will be any protocols in place to stop malware like auto-dialing programs from getting on users' handsets.
One of the largest differences between the G1 and the iPhone is that the G1 will be able to run applications in the background. This enables users to have an IM program open while they're browsing the Web and switch between the two. Apple designed the iPhone to not run background apps to save processing power and battery, and the company is prepping its push-notification service. Background app capability has long been available on Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, Symbian, and Palm handsets.
Another difference between the two app stores is that all apps in the Android store will be free at launch. The majority of Apple's apps are free, but many cost between $1 and $9.99. Android apps could eventually be sold, but Google said they will not take a cut of the revenue, unlike Apple.

AquaSox edge Canadians in extras
The Everett AquaSox pushed a run across on a throwing error in the top of the 12th inning Thursday and defeated the Vancouver Canadians 4-3. The AquaSox won the series two games to one, and avenged their series loss in Vancouver back in early July.
The Frogs outhit the Canadians 13-5 in the win, including three hits apiece from Bryan Brito, Chantz Mack and newcomer Ian Miller. Meanwhile, the Everett pitching was stellar, as Steven Ewing threw six solid innings and Tyler Wright pitched a no-hit tenth and eleventh innings with four strikeouts for his second win.
Both teams struck quickly, adding a run each in the first inning. In the top of the first, Miller singled and stole second in his first at-bat with the AquaSox. He would score his first run when Chantz Mack hit a two-out single to left to put Everett up 1-0. The Canadians hit right back in the bottom of the first, as Ian Parmley doubled with one out and came around to score on a fielding error and a wild pitch.
Miller continued his impressive debut in the third inning, when he scored the Frogs' second run of the game. With two outs, he singled to centerfield and came around to score on an RBI double from Justin Seager.
Two out hitting remained the theme for the AquaSox when they increased their lead to 3-1 in the top of the sixth. With one out, Christian Carmichael walked and James Zamarripa singled. Two batters later, Brito delivered a clutch RBI single to score Carmichael.
Those runs would prove important, as Everett let their lead slip in the next two innings. In the bottom of the sixth, Vancouver put two runners on base when Parmley walked and L.B. Dantzler singled with two outs. After a wild pitch by Ewing, Christian Carmichael threw the ball away, and Parmley came home to cut the lead to 3-2.
would retire the side to finish off yet another solid start. The former Miami Hurricane went six innings allowing just two runs (one earned) on two hits and walking one while striking out five.
The Canadians tied the game in the seventh inning off of AquaSox reliever Tyler Olson. Justin Atkinson drew a leadoff walk, and two batters later, a double from Melvin Garcia evened the score at three.
Both teams left the bases loaded in the eighth. The AquaSox had Zamarripa reach on catcher's interference, Brito single and Miller reach on an error, but Seager grounded out to the pitcher. Aaron Brooks walked the bases full of Canadians but then fanned David Harris to end the tumultuous inning.
The AquaSox would get a runner to third with two outs in the ninth, tenth and eleventh innings, but each time came up short. Finally, they pushed the winning run across in the twelfth. Brito walked to leadoff the frame, went to second when Jack Reinheimer reached on a throwing error by the pitcher, and came around to score two batters later. Seager hit the decisive ground ball to the shortstop Christian Vasquez, who flipped to Harris at second for the force on Reinheimer. Harris' throw to first went wild however, and Brito cruised around third for the game-winner.
Min-Sih Chen came in and induced three straight flyouts in the bottom of the twelfth for his second save of the series.
The AquaSox begin an eight-game homestand Friday, with five games against Eugene and three against Vancouver. AquaSox 2013 season and individual game tickets are available now online at www.aquasox.com and by phone at 425-258-3673.

Pune, Dec 26 (UNI) City police today arrested a leading Marathi film actor, Ramesh Bhatkar, and producer Ravi Naidu for alleged sexual exploitation of a 17-year-old girl on the promise of giving her a role in a Marathi film.
A complaint was filed against the uncle and aunt of the victim -- Dilip Karve and Jayshree Karve -- allegedly of being accomplices in the crime. The girl has also accused former Congress corporator Bhagwan Vairat and Ashok Londhe of sexual exploitation.
Both Bhatkar and Naidu, along with Dilip Karve and his wife Jayshree, were later produced before the Shivajinagar district court, where an irate mob of about 50 people comprising the activists of Republican Party of India (RPI) and the NGOs were waiting in the court premises. As soon as they arrived, the mob ran towards the duo. However, Bhatkar managed to escape but Naidu was allegedly been beaten up by the mob.
The four moved an anticipatory bail application in the court.
While moving the bail application, Bhatkar's lawyer Vijay Nahar told the court that his client was not involved in the case.
Naidu, on the other hand, told the court that the girl's mother was a maid-servant at his home till a few days ago. Two months ago, she had demanded Rs 10,000 from him for her daughter's marriage. But he did not give it which, he thinks, could be the reason for her to file a police compliant against him.
Following this, the court granted them the bail till January 5.
However, Vairat and Londhe, who have been implicated in the case, are still at large, police said.
Bhatkar's wife was a Judge in Mumbai.
A case was registered with the Wanowari police station late last night on the basis of a complaint filed by the victim's mother that Naidu lured the girl with the promise of giving her a role in a Marathi film and allegedly raped her since March at his farmhouse in Ghorpadi Peth.
The complaint further stated that Bhatkar and Vairat, too, sought sexual favours from the girl in August at the actor's residence on Paud road. The duo, however, let the girl free when she raised an alarm. Their act amounted to a case of molestation, said the police complaint.
The victim, in a confessional statement, stated that her maternal uncle and aunt -- Dilip Kavare and Jayashree -- took her to Naidu, thus aiding and abetting in the crime.
The police have booked Naidu, a lesser-known producer, under section 376 (rape) of IPC, while the rest have been charged under sections 34 (co-accused), 353 and 366 (molestation) of IPC.
Additional Police Commissioner Vivek Phanasalkar told UNI that ''the girl has undergone medical tests and the reports are awaited.
The investigation in this case is on and if needed, the police would not hesitate to act against any of the accused.'' He further said the girl was being subjected to all kinds of medical tests to ascertain whether she was a habitual offender to sexual worker, or if there were any marks on her body.
Sources close to Bhatkar however said ''The actor was shocked to hear the charges.'' They said he had vehemently denied the charges, saying all that have been stated against him in the complaint was ''absolutely false''.
''Many young people come to him seeking his help for getting a role in the films. But he tells them that he is not a director or producer, who can offer any role. He does not know why is this girl levelling such allegations against him that too after such a long period of time,'' the sources said.
When asked if Bhatkar knew the girl, the sources said ''Last year, a girl, along with her mother, had come to meet him on the sets of a Marathi film '100 crore'. The girl's mother requested him to see if he could do something to offer her daughter a role in the film. But he told them that he could not help them in this regard.'' The victim, on the other hand, alleged that ''I was told by Bhatkar and others that if I wanted to grow, I should be ready for all such things. When I threatened Bhatkar that I would lodge a police complaint against him following the assault, the actor replied that his wife is a Judge in Mumbai and he will go scot-free.'' Another accused, Naidu, could not be contacted.
Bhatkar, a senior Marathi actor, had been in the industry for almost two decades and had worked in many Marathi serials and films.

Paige Leanne Parrett
Twenty year old PAIGE LEANNE PARRETT of Mountain Home has been arrested and charged with felony Theft by Receiving following an investigation into a residential burglary that occurred at 213 Century Park Terrace between October 15th and October 19th.
Stolen during this burglary were a .5 carat diamond wedding band valued at $1,200 and a gold wedding set with diamond cluster valued at $2,000. Sheriff's Investigators developed a suspect and began to check pawn shop transactions reported through the "Leads On Line" system. By using this process, Investigators found that PAIGE LEANNE PARRETT, the girlfriend of the suspect, had pawned two rings at area pawn shops on October 19th. Investigators later confirmed that these rings were the ones stolen during the burglary.
PARRETT was interviewed at the Sheriff's Office and admitted receiving the rings from the burglary suspect and pawning them. She was subsequently incarcerated in the Detention Center with bond set at $5,000. She will appear in Circuit Court today.

Bradley wins tech decision
By Bob Ryder and Lindy Lindell at ringside
Photos: David Martin Warr/DKP
Undefeated WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy "Desert Storm" Bradley (27-0, 11 KOs) won a forgettable ten round technical decision over previously undefeated WBC super lightweight champion Devon Alexander "The Great" (21-1, 13 KOs) in a WBC/WBO world championship unification match on Saturday night at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan.
Bradley brought the fight to the southpaw Alexander, but all the rounds were highly technical and close. Alexander was cut over the right eye by an unintentional headbutt in round three. Bradley definitely landed more shots that brought oohs and aahs from the crowd. Two more head clashes in round eight. Early in round ten, another head clash rendered Alexander unable to continue, which sent the bout to the scorecards. Scores were 97-93, 96-95, 98-93.

Dear Vancouver,
Please go to Victoria, eat at Ferris' Oyster Bar, and remember what life was like before you got so pretentious and bloody greedy.
Food to Miss Your Plane For
I don't know when we all unanimously agreed to pay too much for pretty much everything, but somewhere along the line wittingly or unwittingly we accepted that $16 is a completely sane price for a burger. It isn't. Well at least it isn't for your run-of-the-mill uninspired chain restaurant/casual dining whatever burger. I mean, I went to the Taphouse at Park Royal, which happens to be run by Cactus and they were charging $18 for nachos. Not epic life changing nachos, but half a bag of Tostitos with a bit of melted cheese and a side of El Paso salsa nachos. $18! Vancouver has lost its mind. Either that or I have, but I'm sticking with Vancouver having lost its mind. It's a horrible vicious cycle as well, as soon as, the chain restaurants start charging $16 for a tasteless burger, the fine dining restaurants start raising their prices and before you know it we're all desperately poor and miserable. Oh and can someone seriously define fine dining for this city. What happened to just dining? If you have a restaurant and your food isn't complete rubbish, you're fine dining. It's ridiculous.
But enough spleen filled ranting. I've said all the above because I do think that Vancouver's dining scene is missing the plot. And here's an example of a restaurant not all that far away, that I think exemplifies what Vancouver has forgotten.
Ferris' Oyster Bar is tucked upstairs over Ferris' Grill, just off of Government on Yates Street in downtown Victoria. It's a small place in a restored loft style room that is intimate, yet, comfortable. I thought the kitchen at Bin 941 was small, but this place is a miracle. My wife and I sat up at the bar, but it took half a Gibson and a Poire martini to realize that we were also sitting up at the kitchen. A well put together man in a butcher's apron, quietly sautéed mushrooms and shucked oysters in about 4 square feet of space next to the bartender.
The cocktails were excellent, and they ranged from about $7.50 to $10 – all with at least a two-ounce pour. I had an Old Fashioned with Knob Creek and it was made without a lot of fuss, it didn't cost me $14 and it tasted perfect. We had a dozen Black Pearl oysters for $24, and they were presented just as you would get at Rodney's or any good oyster bar – fresh grated horseradish, mignonette, and a unique mango based cocktail sauce. The oysters were small, sweet and delicious. You know an oyster is good if it tastes perfect with only a drizzle of mignonette or a touch of lemon.
We ate dinner tapas style with Moroccan chicken skewers, steamed clams and a trio of Baked Scallops. The clams were steamed with a slightly spicy broth of tomato, chorizo and chili. The clams were small – something that I think is important – and went perfectly with the broth. The chicken skewers were nicely spiced and the portion was generous – five thick skewers. The scallops were heavenly. Three large, clearly fresh, scallops were each served in their own small dish and with three separate flavourings: Creamed Leeks and Truffle Oil; Diced Tomato and Maple; and Fresh Sage and Porcini Mushroom. The scallops were perfectly tender and melted in your mouth. Each sauce was equally delicious. I'm a slut for truffle, but both the tomato and maple, and the sage and mushroom were wonderfully balanced and contrasted each other nicely.
After a couple of martinis each, a dozen oysters and a few share plates, our bill was just under a hundred dollars before tip. I was full and slightly drunk. This, in case you aren't aware, is the state of perfect happiness.
Ferris' had made two loyal converts who swore to return.
And we did. The next morning as a matter of fact, for a French 75 and delicious eggs benedict served with leeks and truffled Hollandaise. We weren't disappointed.
This kind of loyalty is hard to come by and I think that restaurateurs are overlooking this in our city. Perhaps I'm a lone idiot with a skewed sense of economics, but I know that I'll have two or three $8 dollar martinis, but probably only one $13 martini. Not only do you probably end up spending more, but you're happy to spend more – almost grateful to spend more. And coming from an ex-bartender who knows that liquor cost is less than a dollar an ounce, it makes sense to me to sell more drinks at a better price rather than fewer drinks at a higher price. Give people a sense of value and they may just come back for brunch.

Reviews for Red Mountain Resort
This is the perfect place for singles, couples, friends, mother/daughters - basically anyone and everyone can find something wonderful at the Red Mountain Resort! The food was delicious and healthy (and the great cooking classes shared recipes and tips), the guided hikes were fantastic and the variety of activities outstanding with something for everyone. Guests can hang by the pool or spa all day or participate in activities or work out on their own in the fantastic gym or pool. I especially loved the yoga in snow canyon. And the staff was so friendly and engaging. We also enjoyed meeting lots of other guests. I will return!

In typical St George fashion the construction of the buildings on resort is terrible. Therefore even after asking for a villa + the living room and second bathroom we could hear EVERYTHING and our neighbors could hear us! Add all the bachelorette parties and it's noisy. For a place that inspires relaxation they have the wrong formula. So we left a day early and were still charged the full $3k for 2 really bad nights of sleep. Save your money avoid the inbred kooks and head to Enchantment Resort.

Second time here. Beautiful surroundings with stunning Snow Canyon as its backdrop. Villas are especially nice. Roomy, cool and comfortable. Pool exceptional. Food very good st Resort restaurant. Many activities to choose from
Suzanne319721 - West Menlo Park, California
Red Mountain Resort is the perfect spa destination for active people. The facilities and staff are inviting and awesome. I highly recommend staying in one of the Villas. The guided hikes are amazing and the guides are fantastic. Various classes are included, and we greatly enjoyed MELT yoga, Pilates and Drums Alive! The food was equally healthy and delicious. The staff was helpful and accommodating. Ending each night of our stay with a massage or facial was the cherry on top. We highly recommend Red Mountain Resort.

Red mountain resort is not only a panacea for anything that ails you, but one of my favorite life experiences. I recently returned to RMR (my 10th visit) for a life reboot. Perfectly situated in the gorgeous red sandstone mountains of Ivins, Utah, this remarkable sprawling pet-friendly campus offers an all-inclusive package for singles and couples (families are less common but welcome). As an athletic guy, RMR provides everything I could imagine in terms of fitness and nutrition. On a typical day, I would wake up at six in the morning and meditate. Having signed up the previous day for an endurance hike, I would arrive at the dining hall for a hikers breakfast (hard-boiled eggs, grains, orange juice, espresso and an array of fresh fruit and yogurt). I would fill my Camelback with water and proceed to a Central meeting place. There I would join my guide and any other endurance hikers and set off on a two hour, heart pounding thrill hike through a variety of terrains (each one different depending on the day). We typically returned by 10:30, just in time for a gentle yoga or stretch class. Every vantage point of RMR is gorgeous and tranquil which means you get to savor the walk to and from all of the various facility locations. I would have a delicious buffet lunch around noon. Classes begin in the afternoon about 2:30 which gives you enough time to swim in one of three generous swimming pools (1 indoor). If you're ambitious, there are many back to back classes (TRX or HIIT or Barre or MMA or the less strenuous but thoroughly enjoyable drums alive). After that, it's naptime in the air conditioned room or out in a hammock. The executive chef is fantastic and every dinner was not only satisfying but nutritious and delicious. As RMR is all-inclusive, the only additional costs are for wine (and wine made cocktails), espresso drinks, special excursions, spa treatments, demonstrations, etc. Of particular note is the remarkably friendly and helpful staff. Clearly, hospitality is a priority here. Other all inclusive activities include a bike ride up Snow Canyon (which is challenging and beautiful) as well as a bike ride to the charming nearby town of Kayenta. I typically visit RMR for one week in either the fall or spring. But this trip, I decided I will come for two weeks on my next stay.

I just had an idea. We can currently purchase our favorite designs on regular t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, aprons, tote bags, iPad sleeves, etc. but not on any household linens. I think the shirt.Woot! community could come up with some pretty great designs for sheets, pillowcases, comforters, other bedding items, and towels. I think it would be challenging to make the same design work well on both a t-shirt and king-sized sheets, but I think towels would be easy, especially beach towels. If you would like to see shirt.Woot! start to offer any of these items, please add a comment below. The more attention this post gets, the better chance there is of Woot! staff seeing it and making it a reality.

It'd be cool, but I don't think shirt.woot is aiming to be the other 'Threadless' these days. There are issues with the core products as is; they don't need to create new 'problems'.
Besides, I've already been using woot shirts as pillowcases, pillows, towels, sheets, blankets, slobber rags ...
(Okay, that last one isn't intentional ... not that I can explain why my dog seems to only leave her drool on one artist's shirts either.)
T-shirt ink(Plastisol) on towel = 30Grit sandpaper.

That's about the same grade as the shirts from some of the other sites.

Season Previews
The 2013 minor league season begins on Thursday. In the days leading up to the opener, I will be previewing the full season affiliates of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Here is a look at the 2013 Bradenton Marauders, who will feature 2012 breakout prospects Alen Hanson and Gregory Polanco on their Opening Day roster.

SS - Alen Hanson
3B - Eric Avila
LF - Taylor Lewis
CF - Gregory Polanco
RF - Willy Garcia
DH - Carlos Mesa
Last year the West Virginia Power was the team to watch, mostly due to the talent on offense. That talent has taken a jump to Bradenton this year, making the Marauders one of the most interesting teams in the system.
The group is led by Alen Hanson and Gregory Polanco. The two hitters...

Butch Pauu: Coach Elliott came and saw me play and then him and Coach Rhoads came by my school for a visit.
CSR: What schools do you have offers from?
Butch Pauu: The three schools are Iowa State, BYU, and Washington.
CSR: What did Coach Elliott tell you that they liked about you?
Butch Pauu: He said that they liked that I'm agile and that I can run. I'm only 6-foot, 215 pounds but their okay with the fact that I'm not the typical 6-foot-2, 230-pounder because they said the game is changing with so many teams going to spread offenses. They need more linebackers that can get to the receiver and re-route them and I have the speed to do that.
CSR: Have you taken any visits yet?
Butch Pauu: No because I have spring ball right now but I'll likely take my visits during the summer. I would like to take one to Iowa State if possible.
CSR: What will be the most important parts in your decision making on a final school?
Butch Pauu: The academics of the school will be a big factor and just the whole atmosphere around the school. I also will look at the staff and check out the defensive coaches and their experience and how my relationship is with the linebackers coach. The last key factor would be playing as early as possible. I don't mind having to compete for a spot but I definitely want to get on the field as quickly as possible.

Napa is the valley of indulgence. Here, north of San
Francisco in the land of grapevines and mansions, is where you'll
find the country's finest wines and fanciest meals.
It's so lovely here ― and so predictably posh ― you could easily drop a paycheck or two on a single luxurious weekend of soaking it in. But my friend Kate and I recently took on a challenge: we wanted a three-day trip savoring the valley's riches, but we wanted to do it for less than $400.
Tricky? Yes. But after three days we departed, sated and just under budget. Our strategies: We went midweek during the winter, when savings on lodging were substantial. We indulged in one fine lunch, but had simpler fare for dinner. And we sought out wineries offering free tastings.

In order to find the very best electric grills and griddles, we evaluated test results and expert reviews from professional test kitchens like Cook's Illustrated, and hands on tests by the likes of Popular Mechanics. These reviews are on the old side, but the products they address are still in production, the hands-on testing was of very high quality, and the expert opinions still more or less line up with feedback from real-world users; so we feel they're still valid and useful.
We also factored in feedback from die-hard barbecue and cooking experts at About.com, AmazingRibs.com and Delishably.com. Finally, we also consulted thousands of user reviews posted online at retail sites such as Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com and BestBuy.com. Ultimately, everybody was looking for the same thing: Even, consistent heat that was strong enough to sear thick hamburgers or cuts of meat. The electric grills we recommend in this report will do that and more.

Technical Abstract: Corn (Zea mays L.) is a major irrigated crop, in the Southern High Plains of the United States, that is usually fully irrigated. The trend has been toward center pivot sprinklers equipped with low pressure, closely-spaced spray heads that have a large instantaneous application rate that can cause surface water redistribution and/or runoff. This 3-yr study (1997 through 1999) evaluated three surface tillage systems for corn under two irrigatio regimes in a semi-arid environment at Bushland, TX. The main treatments were furrow diking, clean furrows, and flat tillage. Imposed upon these tillage treatments were two irrigation regimes -- full soil water replenishment (FI) and limited irrigation (LI), which was irrigated at the same time as FI, but with one-half of the irrigation amount. Irrigations were applied using a lateral-move sprinkler system equipped with low-drift spray nozzles spaced 1.5-m apart with heads about 1.8 m above the ground and nozzled to simulate the flow rates at the outer end of a 400 m system with an irrigation capacity of 8 mm d-1. Each plot was 13.7 m wide (eighteen 0.75 m rows) with a water isolation border plot between the irrigation treatments. Yields were significantly (P<0.05) affected by year and all treatments. The 1997 and 1999 yields were similar, but the 1998 yields were reduced by a combination of drought and disease. Furrow diking did significantly increase corn yields across years and irrigation regimes in this semi-arid environment.

This is where the fun starts...
Long Term Evolution (LTE), Super 3G, 4G - whatever you want to call it - represents the glittering future for mobile data and the world's first commercial deployment has just been announced.
Perhaps unsurprisingly it is network kings Sweden which grab gold here with a service by Erisson and Teliasonera that is expected to bring mobile broadband to customers at up to 160Mbit - and that's just initially. Real world tests have already surpassed 250Mbit with a theoretical peak of 326Mbit - take that fixed line!
Available to Stockholm residents from 2010, it promotes the likes of mobile video blogging, web TV, streaming HD, online gaming and cloud computing. "The unveiling of this site shows that LTE is no longer the story of the future; it is the story of today," said Ericsson VP Ulf Ewaldsson.
"Being at the forefront of broadband evolution means our customers will be the first to benefit from this groundbreaking technology," said TeliaSonera Senior VP Erik Hallberg. "This first LTE site is a key step towards further enhancing Sweden's fastest mobile broadband network."
LTE is also predicted to make a huge impact on fixed line broadband services (read: negatively) and while initial pricing is expected to be high (read: very high) putting such break neck speeds into the air can only be good for everyone (read: not BT). So come on Britain, go for the silver...

- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as isotretinoin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of tumor cells. Vitamin E may be able to decrease side effects caused by isotretinoin. It is not yet known whether combining isotretinoin and interferon alfa with vitamin E is more effective than observation in preventing recurrence of head and neck cancer after surgery and/or radiation therapy.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of isotretinoin and interferon alfa combined with vitamin E with that of observation in treating patients who have undergone surgery and/or radiation therapy for stage III or stage IV head and neck cancer.
|Head and Neck Cancer
|Biological: recombinant interferon alfa Dietary Supplement: vitamin E Drug: isotretinoin Procedure: adjuvant therapy
|Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Phase III Randomized Study of Adjuvant Biologic Therapy in Patients With Stages III/IV Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
|Study Start Date:
|August 2003
|Primary Completion Date:
|December 2004 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
- Determine the efficacy of adjuvant isotretinoin, interferon alfa, and vitamin E, in terms of incidence of primary disease recurrence and secondary primary tumor development, in patients with stage III or IV squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck previously treated with definitive surgical excision and/or postoperative radiotherapy.
- Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
- Compare the overall and disease-free survival of patients treated with this regimen vs those who undergo observation only.
- Determine whether alterations of p53 gene, retinoic acid receptors, retinoid-regulated gene, and interferon-responsive genes are associated with clinical outcome in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to T stage (T1 or T2 vs T3 or T4), N stage (N0 or N1 vs N2 or N3), prior therapy (complete tumor resection vs resection and radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy vs radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy alone), and prior chemotherapy (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral isotretinoin once daily, interferon alfa subcutaneously 3 times weekly, and oral vitamin E 3 times daily. Treatment repeats every month for 12 courses (1 year) in the absence of disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.
- Arm II: Patients undergo observation only for 1 year. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 376 patients (188 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 3.75 years.

just wondering if anyone can share his experience on this subject. What is the best scheme or order to release the deifferent item versions (PSD/HTML/WP) with the same design. Or there is no difference and affect at all?
Also, what other time/order factors can affect on sales of different version of the same item?
I'm also curious about this, I've seen authors who released WP first than HTML version, also I've seen authors who released only WP version, maybe because WP can not be stolen from the preview.
the main things is that. some people want to use html in there own cms. Which they build and they are restricted in there cms. I have worked on of my client who build a php based cms last 2 years ago but still use his cms. Although that is not so good
wp is best for wp users. but there are alot of buyer using another cms or coding himself for some projects.
the psd is quite bad since it alway need to become the html version. maybe someone use it as demo for customer.

Can I fix a bad tile job?
1 Attachment(s)
My "builder" grouted the tile that was laid last friday. After he had left I noticed that the job wasn't great, but worst of all there were 2 bad peaks in the middle of the floor. I have attached a picture of the worst one.
I was just wondering if this can be fixed without damaging the surrounding tiles or not?
They are nice 12x24 porcelain tiles fyi.
I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at, but I do know that the larger the tile, the less forgiving they are.
In other words, a small two inch mosaic tile can follow hills and valleys with little problem. This is why they are used on shower floors, so they can follow the dip down to the drain.
Larger tiles need a perfectly flat surface, otherwise you end up with lippage, where the edge of one tile sits above the one next to it.
Laying 12x24 tile on a less than perfectly flat floor..., well, an expert may be able to fill in a low spot, but if you have a high spot you're gonna end up with problems.
You are looking at where 2 tiles meet and a level sitting on them to show how uneven they are.
This was a flat surface. They clearly put too much mud under it and didn't bother to use a level and are somewhat to completely blind.
You can remove the tiles by cleaning out the grout lines around the tiles in question break them in the middle with a cold chisel remove tile, clean base and re-install new tile.
There is nothing you can do to level it without removing the tile, in my opinion.

An 8-year-old Prineville boy is in fair condition this morning, after he was injured Sunday in a fall off of the Crooked River Canyon rim.
>Eight-year-old fell off rim of Crooked River Canyon
On Sunday at about 1:13 p.m., the Crook County Sheriff's Office, Prineville Fire and Rescue, Oregon State Police and Air Life of Oregon rushed to a report of a boy having fallen almost 100 feet into the canyon.
"Brian O'Neil was playing with friends near the canyon rim, located off the Prineville Lake Acres subdivision when a couple of the children decided to climb over the edge of the rimrock," said Crook County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Jim Chapman in a press release. "O'Neil lost his balance and fell nearly 100 feet off the rimrock onto the large boulders below, and was conscious and breathing when rescue personnel arrived. One of the friends playing with O'Neil rode her bike home and had her parents call 9-1-1."
Rescue personnel reached O'Neil by climbing down from the rimrock and others by hiking up the Crooked River Canyon to the rimrock wall.
"O'Neil was then stabilized and carried out nearly 1 mile down steep and rocky terrain to Highway 27, which runs along the Crooked River, where he was transported by Air Life to St. Charles of Bend," Chapman said. "It does not appear that his injuries are life threatening, although the extent of his injuries is unknown."
Crook County Undersheriff Jim Hensley said three people have died in that area during the past 10 to 15 years.
On Oct. 27, 1990, Martin Manley, 27, fell off the same cliff after losing his footing while setting up bottles for target shooting with two friends.
Then 16-year-old Ryan Morton, fell to his death on June 30, 1994.
The cliff had its share of more deaths over time.
On Sept. 17, 1999, James Rocky Harris, 27, fell to his death.
"It was the exact same place where Ryan Morton had fallen off," Hensley said. "This person had gone up there to show other people where Ryan Morton had fallen off."
Hensley urged people to use caution around the canyon.
"Respect that rimrock," the undersheriff said. "It's unforgiving. There's a lot of tripping hazards around it. I've been around it many a time. There's no handrails, no guardrails."
"Every one of these people knew where this rimrock was," the undersheriff said. "It's not like they were running and not expecting it and fell off."

A 1.0 kg red superball moving at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with stationary blue superball of mass 4.0 kg in an elastic collision. What are the final velocities of the two superballs after the collision?
In an elastic collision, both kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.
m1=mass of red superball=1
m2=mass of blue superball=4
v11=initial velocity of red ball=5
v12=final velocity of red ball
v21=initial velocity of blue ball=0
v22=final velocity of blue ball
For conservation of energy,
(m1/2)v11² + (m2/2)v12² = (m1/2)v12² + (m2/2)v22².....(1)
For conservation of momentum,
(m1/2)v11 + (m2/2)v12 = (m1/2)v12 + (m2/2)v22 .......(2)
The only unknowns are v12 and v22. With the two equations, it is therefore possible to solve for the unknowns.
From (2), we express v12 in terms of the other unknown and the known constants, thus:
v12 = -(m2*v22-m2*v21-m1*v11)/m1
Substitute v12 into equation 1 will leave v22 as the only unknown.
Solving for v12 and v22, you should get
V12=-3 m/s, and v22=2 m/s.
Check that they satisfy the considerations of energy and momentum.
Note the following typographical corrections.
For conservation of energy,
(m1/2)v11² + (m2/2)v21² = (m1/2)v12² + (m2/2)v22².....(1)
For conservation of momentum,
m1 v11 + m2 v21 = m1 v12 + m2 v22 .......(2)
That is to say there is no need to divide the momentum by 2. Although this alone will not affect the final results.
tried solving it got different final results

Before arriving into Shanghai, I wasn't really sure what to expect of the elderly and their lifestyle here in the big city. All I had was my experience with a nursing home in Queens, the Keystone Project, and my past experience living with my grandmother. After a few weeks of readjusting myself to the new environment, I had some time to do some preliminary research for my thesis project.
Problem, Maybe
Well embedded into the Chinese culture lies a strong family structure. Traditionally, parents live with their eldest child into their old age where they would be cared for by the younger generations. Unfortunately, these traditions are slowly being unwound due to the mobilization of society, e.g. career options outside of ones hometown. This scattering of generations around the world comes into direct conflict with China's "4:2:1" phenomenon, which according to the NEJM, means "that increasing numbers of couples will be solely responsible for the care of one child and four parents." The "4:2:1" phenomenon is a direct result of China's one-child policy, which was implemented in 1979 under Deng Xiao Ping.
In addition, the percentage of the elderly living in China is expected to "rise to more than 15 percent by 2025." The NEJM also states that "a lack of adequate pension coverage in China means that financial dependence on offspring is still necessary for approximately 70 percent of elderly people."
So with all of these potential problems the future elderly in China may face, what will be the support structure for those who do not have younger generations around to care for them?
Nursing Home
After a little over a month of living in Shanghai, I have not yet come across a nursing home. Unsurprisingly, I found the following posted on Medscape,
The existing system [nursing homes] accommodates only 0.8% of China's total aging population, far fewer than expected according to international standards. Based on numbers from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to increase capacity even to 3%, China needs to invest at least US$200 billion.
Besides the huge monetary investment required by the government, the lack of nursing homes is also a result of how previous generations of families were structured. As mentioned before, prior to the one-child policy, the care provided for the elderly was shared amongst a larger family and hence did not require nursing homes.
Hired caretakers seem to be the most popular solution for a quasi-support structure in Shanghai. In a small park right across the street from where I work, I've witnessed several accompanying the elderly on a one-to-one basis. They have conversations with their elder; they feed their elder; they push their elders around the neighborhood in a wheelchair. It seems that they have successfully fulfilled the duties of their absent child, but what about the caretakers own parent?
According to Medscape, "because of her [caretaker's] employment, [she] is less available to her own relatives. It is also not clear what the future holds for this part of the population. It is likely that the supply of service workers, such as the baomu [caretaker], may not keep up with the demand for care of older people as the population pyramid changes between now and 2050."
This is probably the most impressive support structure out of all of the solutions presented so far. I am completely amazed by the strong ties that the elderly in Shanghai have developed within their communities and neighborhoods. I've been fortunate enough to witness this firsthand with my relatives (my uncle's in-laws) that I've been living with for the past two months.
Throughout the week, they have a full schedule. In the morning, they exercise both physically and mentally by taking walks around the neighborhood and conversing with other members of the community. During the day, they go to church, which consists of mostly people from their neighborhood. During the evening, they are visited by various family members and friends for dinner. Also, I'd like to also mention that the husband is 79 and his wife is 70 and they are mostly independent.
Besides my relatives, strong communities can also be seen elsewhere. Again, going back to where I work, every night at the small park on the corner of Liyuan Road and Mengzi Road, there is always something going on. From Tai Chi to the Cha Cha, people are participating and interacting with one another no matter the age. It is definitely something you have to witness firsthand.

Laura Merzetti, salon owner. In her other life: scuba diver.
Laura Merzetti never thought of herself as much of a risk-taker. But that changed one day while on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico. "The resort we were staying at offered free scuba lessons in the pool every day and they happened to catch me at the right time and in the right frame of mind to do it," says Merzetti, the owner of Scratch My Back Nail Studio in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. "I was thrilled to be able to swim underwater and breathe air from a tank!" Within three months she was a certified Open Water diver. Now, five years later, she's achieved the level of Rescue Diver (one level below Dive Master) and is Dive Coordinator for her local dive club, the Ajax Scuba Club.
For Merzetti, the thrill comes from entering a completely different underwater world. "I can slip under the surface and within seconds I'm gliding over beautiful coral reefs, very close to exotic fish that most people only ever see in an aquarium. The colors are incredible. It's peaceful and, most of all, quiet," she says. In Canada, she does a lot of wreck diving in the Great Lakes. "These are shipwrecks from the 1800s or early 1900s and they can be anything from schooners to paddlewheelers and barges," she explains. "This is a very different kind of diving — much colder and deeper and very spooky."
Her most exotic dive took place off the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia in 2009. "I saw many species of fish found only in that area of the world. Wild pods of dolphins accompanied our dive boat one day," she says. "We also saw many sea turtles who were really friendly and curious. The highlight of my trip was to see the clown anemonefish (think Nemo in 'Finding Nemo').
"Diving is a fascinating snapshot of what life is in our lakes, seas, and oceans. It certainly gives you an appreciation and respect for the creatures who live there."

To All Depository Institutions and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District:
The following is from a statement by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:
The Federal Reserve Board has announced a fourth public hearing on predatory practices in the home-equity lending market.
The hearing is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 16, 2000, at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, 230 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL. The Board previously announced hearings on July 27 in Charlotte, NC; August 4 in Boston, MA, and September 7 in San Francisco, CA.
Invited speakers will participate in panel discussions focused on approaches the Board might take in using its rule-writing authority to curb predatory practices in home-equity lending while preserving access to credit for borrowers with less-than-perfect credit ratings. Time will be reserved after the panel discussions for brief statements from other interested parties.
The hearings are being conducted under the authority of the Home Ownership Equity Protection Act of 1994 (HOEPA), which imposes disclosure requirements and other limits on certain high-cost, home-secured loans. The Board is authorized to make some adjustments to HOEPA's high-cost triggers that could affect the scope of the act's coverage. The Board is also directed by HOEPA to prohibit certain acts and practices in connection with mortgage loans if the Board makes the findings required by the statute.
The hearings will commence with panel discussions by invited speakers, which will be followed by an "open-mike" period of about two hours, starting at approximately 2:30 p.m., to permit other interested parties to participate with brief oral statements of 5 minutes or less. Written statements of any length may be submitted for the record. To facilitate planning for this part of the hearing, anyone interested in presenting an oral statement is asked to contact the Board in advance of the hearing by calling (202) 452-3667.
Written comments, due by September 1, 2000, may be mailed to Jennifer J. Johnson, Secretary, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 20th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20551 or mailed electronically to email@example.com.
The Board's official notice (pdf - 135kb), as published in the Federal Register of July 24, is available.

Our love of the snack has moved manufacturers to produce a dizzying array of products. The majority promote some health-giving property but all are designed to make the manufacturer and retailer a high margin. So why not make your own – personalised to your taste and at a fraction of the cost?
You can't go wrong with flapjack. Melt 75g unsalted butter, 30g soft dark brown sugar, 1 tbsp golden syrup and a couple of drops of vanilla essence, and stir in 125g of oats. Then go crazy with your customised flavours: add 100g of your choice of dried fruit or nuts and seeds and bake in a lined tray at 180C/350F/gas mark 4 for 20 minutes.
If you would rather have a savoury snack, mushroom pâté is ideal and will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge. You will need 300g of mushrooms (chestnuts are ideal), 1 small goat's cheese, 2 finely chopped shallots, 1 crushed garlic clove and a teaspoon of chopped tarragon.
Wipe the mushrooms with damp kitchen paper and roughly blitz in the food processor. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil and sweat the shallots and garlic. When they have softened, add the mushrooms, season and, over a medium flame, cook until the mushrooms are quite dry. Add the tarragon and leave to go cold.
Soften the cheese in a bowl with a wooden spoon, add the mushrooms and mix carefully. Adjust the seasoning if needed. This can be eaten with breadsticks or spread on oatcakes with cornichons.
