Which is Faster: Electric vs Stove-top Pressure Cooker
Our customers ask whether electric pressure cooker is slower than stove-top pressure cooker. Someone claimed that stove-top cooker can be 2~3 times faster in reaching working pressure. This may be possible with a gas-stove. However the majority of North American families use electric stoves. We decide to run a test on this typical scenario.
Test equipments:
Instant Pot IP-LUX60: 1000W, 6L inner pot. Plugged-into an electronic power meter (Kill-A-Watt P4400).
T-Fal Safe 2 Model 3271 stove-top pressure cooker, 6L capacity, which likely has a pressure rating of 11psi.
- Maytag SuperCapacity Plus electric range with glass ceramic cooktop, coil element power rating: 2100W
- Thermoworks Splash-Proof Super-Fast Thermapen, accuracy +/-0.4°C (0.2°F).
Test conditions:
- Fill both Instant Pot and T-Fal with 3 liter tap water at 13.6°C
- Set to cook at full pressure for 10 minutes. The "Manual" mode of Instant Pot was used.
After running multiple tests, the following is the results:
- Instant Pot IP-LUX60 took 23:30 ~ 24:15 (minutes:seconds) to reach working pressure 11.6psi. Hold pressure for 10 minutes. Total power consumption 0.35~0.36 KWH.
- T-Fal on Maytag electric range took 24:05~24:50 to reach pressure (steam release started leaking steam and rotating). Afterwards, power was turned down to 30% to maintain the pressure. Total power consumption based on the power rating: 0.945~0.974 KWH.
In conclusion,
- The stove-top T-Fal + Maytag electric range take about 20~30 seconds longer to reach working pressure than Instant Pot IP-LUX60.
- Instant Pot IP-LUX60 uses around 63% less electricity than the T-Fal in this specific test.
There are two possible explanations regarding the electricity consumption:
- The glass ceramic cooktop reduces heating efficiency. The whole stove was warm and the T-Fal radiated heat along the way. That's where the energy had gone.
Instant Pot has two layers of air insulation, which minimize energy leakage. The bottom of its inner pot is curved inwards which fits tightly on the heating element curved outwards. Thermal conduction is excellent.
When we first designed Instant Pot, the intention is to make it fast in terms of convenience. A press-a-button set-and-forget smart cooker is our objective. Now heating efficiency makes Instant Pot faster than stove-tops on an electric range.

They Lived?Science brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
I was told that someone inhaled vaporous dihydrogen monoxide and yet they lived. How could this be?
AnswerDihydrogen monoxide is water. The person was just inhaling water vapor like everyone does every day.
Water's chemical formula is H2O. It contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, hence "dihydrogen monoxide".

Short and long sleep duration are associated with increased mortality and worse global cognitive function, but is unclear if these relations persist after accounting for the risk of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). The aim of our study is determine the association between short and long sleep duration with worse global cognitive function in a racially/ethnically diverse elderly cohort.
We examined sleep hours and global cognitive function cross-sectionally within the population-based Northern Manhattan Study cohort. We conducted nonparametric and logistic regression to examine associations between continuous, short (< 6 h) and long (≥ 9 h) sleep hours with performance on the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE).
There were 927 stroke-free participants with data on self-reported sleep hours and MMSE scores (mean age 75 ± 9 years, 61% women, 68% Hispanics). The median (interquartile range) MMSE was 28 (10-30). Sleep hours (centered at 7 h) was associated with worse MMSE (β = -0.01; SE [0.004], p = 0.0113) adjusting for demographics, vascular risk factors, medications, and risk for SDB. Reporting long sleep (≥ 9 h) compared to 6 to 8 h of sleep (reference) was significantly and inversely associated with MMSE (adjusted β = -0.06; SE [0.03], p = 0.012), while reporting short sleep was not significantly associated with MMSE performance. Long sleep duration was also associated with low MMSE score when dichotomized (adjusted OR: 2.4, 95% CI: 1.1-5.0).
In this cross-sectional analysis among an elderly community cohort, long sleep duration was associated with worse MMSE performance.

Cognitive impairment and dementia are disabling conditions expected to rise in prevalence with the rapidly aging population.1,2 The identification of modifiable risk factors for cognitive impairment can provide important prevention strategies with significant public health implications. The impact of inadequate sleep on cognition can be profound. Besides producing sleepiness, which has detrimental effects on mood, job performance, and accident risk, poor sleep is associated with adverse health outcomes.3,4 This is particularly relevant to the aging population as sleep-wake patterns and sleep quality may change throughout the lifetime, with 50% of the elderly reporting sleep disturbances, and up to one-third reporting either short sleep or long sleep duration.5,6 Abnormal sleep duration may impair attention/vigilance and cause executive dysfunction,6,7 but it is unclear if these relationships persist after accounting for the risk of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). SDB is highly prevalent in the elderly, seen in up to 62% of those older than 65 years of age and is associated with poor cognitive function.8–11 Determining the relationship between sleep duration and cognition could lead to novel strategies to improve health as sleep duration is potentially modifiable.12
The aim of this analysis is to evaluate the association between self-reported sleep hours and short and long sleep duration with worse global cognitive function in an elderly racially/ ethnically diverse population-based cohort.
Current Knowledge/Study Rationale: Cognitive impairment and dementia are expected to rise with the aging population. There is limited data from elderly race/ethnically diverse cohorts with evaluations of sleep duration and cognitive function. Determining the relation between sleep duration and cognitive function could lead to novel strategies to improve health.
Study Impact: Long sleep duration was associated with worse mini-mental score, a measure of global cognitive function, after adjusting for demographic, vascular risk factors and depressive symptoms. The results of this study suggest that long sleep duration may be an independent predictor of worse cognitive function in the elderly.
The Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS) enrolled 3,298 stroke-free participants randomly sampled from the Northern Manhattan population between 1993 and 2001 using the following criteria: (1) resident of Northern Manhattan ≥ 3 months; (2) from a household with a telephone; (3) age ≥ 40 years at the time of first in-person assessment; and (4) no history of stroke.13 For the purpose of this analysis, we included participants with self-reported sleep hours obtained during annual telephone follow-up evaluation in 2006 and Mini-Mental Examination (MMSE) scores within one year of reported sleep hours. From the parent cohort, a total of 2,266 subjects were available for follow up in 2006. Of the available sample, a total of 927 participants had reports of sleep hours and MMSE within one year of each assessment. The sample of 927 participants had a similar proportion of women (61%), but a greater proportion of Hispanics (68%) compared to the overall baseline cohort (53%). NOMAS was approved by the Columbia University Medical Center and University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine IRBs, and all participants provided written informed consent.
Cognitive status was assessed in person by bilingual (English or Spanish) trained research assistants using MMSE.14 The MMSE is a brief 30-point questionnaire test used to evaluate cognitive function. The MMSE measures various domains of cognitive functioning including memory, orientation to place and time, naming, reading, visuospatial orientation/construction ability, writing, and the ability to follow a 3-stage command. It has good sensitivity (71% to 92%) and specificity (56% to 96%) to screen for cognitive impairment and dementia.14
We used the total score of the MMSE as the outcome. Lower educational levels (≤ 8th grade) can adversely affect the MMSE scores. We defined low MMSE scores as a dichotomous outcome by adjusting for age and educational level based on established MMSE cutoffs. A cutoff of MMSE < 24 was used for those with > 8 years education and MMSE < 20 for those with ≤ 8 years of education.15,16
We collected self-reported sleep duration as an estimate of hours of nightly sleep in the four weeks prior to the annual telephone follow-up interview in 2006, using the following question: "During the past 4 weeks, how many hours, on average, did you sleep each night?" Respondents reported in 30-min increments of each hour.17 The responses ranged from 3 to 12 h of sleep with a median of 7 hours.
High risk for SDB was estimated by constructing the Berlin questionnaire,18 based on reports of frequent snoring and daytime sleepiness along with objective information on hypertension and obesity in our sample. Sleep symptoms were derived from a sleep questionnaire during follow-up examination in 2004-2005.17 The questionnaires were administered in English or Spanish. Habitual snoring was defined as self-report of snoring > 3 times per week, based on prior definitions of habitual snoring.19 The Epworth Sleepiness Scale was used and adapted for relevance to characteristics of people living in northern Manhattan.20 Daytime sleepiness was categorized as sum score ≥ 10 based on the established definition for daytime sleepiness from the Epworth Sleepiness Scale.21 The presence of 2 of the 3 following items was used to classify participants into high risk for SDB: (1) frequent snoring (snoring > 3 times per week), (2) daytime sleepiness (sum score ≥ 10), and (3) presence of hyper-tension or obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2).
Data were collected through interviews by trained bilingual research assistants using standardized data collection instruments described elsewhere.13 Race and ethnicity were defined by self-identification based on questions modeled after the US census. Race/ethnicity were categorized into mutually exclusive groups as non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White, and Hispanic. Depressive symptoms were evaluated with the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D). The CESD is a 20-item scale documenting 4 factors: depressive affect, somatic complaints, positive affect, and interpersonal relations. Scores on the CES-D range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating more symptoms of depression.22 Depressive symptoms were categorized as present if the sum of the scores was ≥ 16 or if the participant was taking an antidepressant medication.22 Hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure > 140 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure > 90 mm Hg or a patient's self-report of a history of hypertension or use of antihypertensive medications. Diabetes mellitus was defined as fasting blood glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL or the patient's self-report of diabetes or use of insulin or hypoglycemic medications. Cardiac disease included history of angina, MI, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, or valvular heart disease.
We obtained self-reported medication use at baseline. We created a dichotomous variable (yes vs. no) based on the use of the following medications: antidepressant, antiepileptic, pain, and antipsychotic, that could affect sleep duration and or cognitive function.17
Results are presented as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range) for continuous variables according to the variable distribution, and proportion for categorical variables. The χ2 test was used to compare proportions, while ANOVA, or the Kruskal-Wallis test if data were not normally distributed, was used to compare mean or median for continuous variables. We examined self-reported sleep hours in categories of short sleep (< 6 h) and long sleep (≥ 9 h), with 6 to 8.9 h of nightly sleep as the reference.23 We performed nonparametric regression to test for the association between sleep hours centered at 7 h of sleep continuously and comparing categories of < 6 h and ≥ 9 h versus the reference with the non-normally distributed MMSE using SAS procedure COUNTREG. Sequential models were done to evaluate the unadjusted association between sleep hours (centered at 7 h) and MMSE. We then adjusted for demographic factors: age, sex, education, race/ethnicity, and insurance status (Model 2); alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes, depression, medications, and risk for SDB (Model 3). Logistic regression was performed with the categories for low MMSE score as the outcome. As a sensitivity analysis, we also evaluated the relation between sleep hours and memory performance on the MMSE, given that verbal 3-word recall on the MMSE has been reported as an acceptable estimate of episodic memory in epidemiologic studies.24 Among participants able to register 3 initial words, impaired verbal recall was defined by a score of 0 or 1 obtained on the subsequent 3-word recall task of the MMSE.24 Additionally, we evaluated the interactions between sleep hours and the covariates. All analyses were performed using SAS software version 9.3 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC).
The mean age was 75 ± 9 years, with 61% women, 68% Hispanics, and 41% with less than a high school education. Table 1 presents the characteristics of the overall sample and across categories of sleep duration. Self-reports < 6 h were seen in 24% of the sample, and ≥ 9 h were reported by 9% (n = 87). Participants reporting ≥ 9 h of sleep were older, had greater frequencies of hypertension, diabetes, and lower MMSE scores than the reference (p < 0.0001). There was no statistical difference in the frequencies of sex, education, race-ethnicity, Medicaid or no insurance status, BMI, depression, cardiac disease, or risk of SDB among the groups.
Demographic and vascular risk factors and cognitive scores across categories of sleep hours
(more ...)
The covariates that were associated with the lower MMSE scores were increased age (β = -0.004; p < 0.0001), ≤ 8th grade education (β = -0.14; p < 0.0001), having Medicaid or no insurance (β = -0.14; p < 0.0001), Hispanic race/ethnicity (β = -0.09, p < 0.0001) compared to non-Hispanic white, depression (β = -0.05, p = 0.0029), diabetes (β = -0.05, p = 0.012), hyper-tension (β = -0.05, p = 0.0007), and medications (β = -0.08, p < 0.0001). Male sex (β = 0.04; p = 0.0065) and moderate alcohol consumption alcohol (β = 0.04, p = 0.009) were positively associated with the MMSE. The BMI (β = 0.0005, p = 0.74), non-Hispanic black (β = 0.006, p = 0.71) compared to non-Hispanic white race/ethnicity, current smoking (β = 0.001, p = 0.94), cardiac disease (β = 0.006, p = 0.71), and risk for SDB (β = -0.02, p = 0.11) were not associated to the MMSE.
Self-reported sleep hours (continuous) was associated with worse MMSE scores in sequential models (Table 2). In addition, categorical analysis showed that self-reports of ≥ 9 h (long sleep duration), compared to 6-8.9 h of sleep were associated with worse MMSE scores in fully adjusted models (Table 2). When evaluating cognitive scores as a binary outcome, we found that long sleep duration (≥ 9 h) was associated with increased odds of low MMSE scores (Table 3). There was no association between sleep hours and delayed verbal memory and no interactions between sleep hours and demographic, vascular risk factors, medications, and risk for SDB.

In this cross-sectional study, we found that self-reported long sleep duration was associated with worse global cognitive function in the elderly, racially/ethnically diverse NOMAS sample, after adjusting for vascular risk factors, depression, and risk for SDB.
Self-reported long sleep duration is linked to greater mortality, and an increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease.3,23,25,26 While very few NOMAS participants had dementia and our results most likely reflect subtle cognitive differences, our findings are in agreement with prospective data from an elderly (≥ 65 years) population-based cohort showing a positive association between long sleep duration (≥ 9 h) and incident dementia.6 A cross-sectional analysis of the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (MrOS) also demonstrated an association between long sleep (≥ 8 h) by actigraphy and worse global cognitive scores.27 Population-based studies have reported associations between long sleep duration and worse cognitive performance by measures of global cognition (MMSE),24,28 as well as verbal fluency, delayed recall,29 and psychomotor speed.30
Most studies on sleep hours and cognitive function have examined homogenous populations, with a paucity of data from racially/ethnically diverse communities. Studies comparing self-reported sleep duration in Hispanics and non-Hispanic blacks have provided inconsistent results, suggesting that habitual sleep duration is possibly dependent on factors other than race-ethnicity.9,31,32 We previously described greater long sleep duration in Hispanics compared to non-Hispanic whites17 and observed an inverse relation between Hispanic race/ethnicity and MMSE scores. In NOMAS, a greater proportion of Hispanics have less than eight years of formal education as well as Medicaid or no insurance, both surrogate markers of lower SES. Lower SES is associated with a number of comorbidities that could result in long sleep duration.25,26,33
Self-reports of long sleep duration have been associated with older age, low socioeconomic status (SES), diabetes, and vascular disease,25 but we observed an association between long sleep duration and MMSE after controlling for these factors. Additionally, long sleep duration was associated with worse MMSE score after controlling for depressive symptoms, medications (e.g., antidepressants, antiepileptics) and risk for SDB, factors that may worsen cognitive function.11,34–36 Our findings suggest that in the elderly, long sleep duration (≥ 9 h) could be an independent predictor of worse cognitive function.
It is suggested that the relation between long sleep and adverse health outcomes could be confounded by SDB.30,37 In our study, there was no difference in risk for SDB among the sleep duration groups, and high risk for SDB did not modify the relation between self-reported long sleep and worse MMSE scores. Our findings are in accordance with an analysis of the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men study38 that characterized differences in demographic, sleep, and vascular risk factors among elderly participants (mean age 76.4 years) with long sleep duration compared to average sleepers. In this study there were no differences in the apnea-hypopnea index between long sleep compared to 7-8 hours of sleep.38 In addition, self-reported long sleep duration was positively associated with increased time in bed and sleep time by actigraphy that was not explained by sleep disorders, such as SDB or vascular risk factors.
Our findings could be explained by sleep fragmentation. Fragmented sleep has been linked to long sleep duration.4 Fragmented sleep measured by actigraphy was associated with worse global cognitive function, independent of sleep duration, in a cross-sectional analysis of the Rush Memory and Aging Project.39 Sleep fragmentation is directly related to time in bed,25 and perhaps long sleep duration could be a surrogate or a compensatory response to fragmented sleep in those with worse cognitive function.29 Sleep-wake disturbances could also exacerbate cognitive dysfunction and cause further sleep disturbances, such as advancement of circadian phase with subsequent prolongation of sleep duration.24
In our study, self-reported short sleep duration was not associated with MMSE. Short sleep duration has been associated with worse global cognitive function, memory impairment, and psychomotor speed,7,30,40,41 but stronger associations have been described for long sleep duration. Our findings are in accordance with population based studies where short sleep duration was not associated, either by self-report28 or actigraphy,27 with MMSE. Short sleep duration can cause deficits in attention and vigilance through excessive sleepiness,42 but the mechanisms by which long sleep duration could affect cognitive function are not fully understood.
Several limitations should be noted. The current study is cross-sectional and does not allow assessment of causality between self-reported sleep hours and cognition. Sleep duration was obtained by subjective reports from a sleep questionnaire. In particular, it could be that those with cognitive impairment tend to report longer sleep duration. Also, we were not able to capture night to night variability of sleep duration, daytime napping, or objective measures of sleep. However, other observational studies of sleep duration and adverse health outcomes are similarly based on subjective reports from sleep questionnaires. Self-reports of long sleep duration might represent a greater sleep time or just more time in bed, which cannot be determined from the current data. There might be unmeasured confounders (e.g., autoimmune disorders) that could cause fatigue and sleepiness and in part explain the results of our study. In spite of these limitations there are several strengths to our study. We evaluated a relatively large, racially/ethnically diverse, community-based cohort with a high burden of vascular risk factors, risk of SDB, depression, and systematically applied measures of cognition with the MMSE.
In conclusion, we found a cross-sectional association between self-reported long sleep duration, and greater odds of worse cognitive scores that were not explained by high risk of SDB. Prospective studies in racially/ethnically diverse samples are needed to confirm our findings and determine if long sleep duration is in the causal pathway and a harbinger of cognitive decline.

Print this issue
On Jan. 15, Gov. Deval Patrick signed into law Chapter 524 of the Acts of 2008. This new law changed the clearly understood rule of construction that applied to terms like "child," "grandchild" and "issue" in wills, trusts and similar instruments executed before Aug. 26, 1958. When the Legislature modernized the law in 1958 to presume that adopted persons are included in such terms
unless the instrument plainly states otherwise
― it made the law effective only to instruments executed after its effective date.
Chapter 524, effective April 15, 2009, provides quite simply, "Section 8 of chapter 210 of the General Laws [which contains the presumption including adopted persons in terms like "child," "grandchild" and "issue"] shall apply to all grants, trust settlements, entails, devises or bequests executed at any time, but this section shall not affect distributions made before May 1, 2009 under testamentary instruments executed before September 1, 1969." Click here for the text of Chapter 524.
Trustees are now working aggressively to review all the pre-1958 trusts they administered to determine whether there are adopted persons who should now be included as beneficiaries entitled to current distributions. This includes not only reviewing trust instruments, but talking with family members and reviewing family relationships. Trustees can be held personally liable for distributions made to the wrong beneficiary after May 1, 2009.
Action requested:
The Massachusetts Bar Association is working closely with the Boston Bar Association and the Massachusetts Bankers Association in an effort to postpone the effective date of Chapter 524. Senate Judiciary Chair Cynthia Stone Creem (D-Newton) has filed an MBA amendment to the Senate budget (#126) listed below, that would postpone the effective date until July 1, 2010, to allow for more time to correct the problems created by the passage of Chapter 524. Unfortunately, the amendment does not affect any distributions made from April 15, 2009 until the date the FY 2010 budget might be signed into law (most likely July 1, 2009). We ask that you support Sen. Creem's amendment #126, and to contact your local senators now to urge them to support the amendment on the Senate floor.Your senator's phone number can be found at:
To help understand and learn more about the issue, click here to review the full memorandum on Chapter 524 prepared by Mark J. Bloostein at Ropes and Gray LLP.
For further information, contact MBA General Counsel Martin W. Healy at [e-mail mhealy].
Amendment # 126 introduced by Sen. Cynthia Stone Creem
Sen. Creem moved that the bill be amended by adding the following new sections:-SECTION __. Chapter 524 of the acts of 2008 is hereby amended by adding the following section:- "Section 2. This act shall take effect on July 1, 2010. SECTION __. This act shall take effect as of July 1, 2010; provided, however, that nothing in this act shall affect the validity of any action taken pursuant to chapter 524 of the acts of 2008 between April 15, 2009 and the passage of this act.

Reviewed By Jason R (Denver, CO) Reviewed for a 2014 Toyota Tacoma —11/1/2016 9:10 AM
Solid construction, super easy install. If I could do anything over, I would have purchased the flush mount version. The only drawback is the amperage capacity on the switch - if you have more than one 30A accessory, you'll have to use a standard relay and switch as there is only one 30A circuit on this switch board, the others are 18A - which is more than enough for standard 12v accessories like LED's, GPS, Solenoids, etc. Do not use this to activate a winch or other motorized accessories.

Disability matters
In the our Corporate Plan "Delivering for our Communities" (2012-16), one of the Council's values is "Treating everyone fairly". In order to live up to this value, we are committed to creating a community that recognises and celebrates diversity within a culture of respect and co-operation. We appreciate that a culture which promotes equality will create a positive environment and a shared sense of belonging for all who live in, work in, or visit the New Forest District.
Being positive about Disability is very much part of this commitment and the Council seeks to ensure that people with disabilities are treated fairly, have equal access to our services and that support and assistance is provided where possible.
Accessible Britain Challenge
In July 2013 the Government published its disability strategy Fulfilling Potential - Making it Happen. An important part of this strategy focuses on communities being more inclusive and accessible.
Research tells us that disabled people of all ages and backgrounds want to participate in every aspect of life - home and family life, community life, education, training, employment and volunteering. They want to have the opportunity to participate in society and be valued for their contribution. Particularly important to disabled people are attitudes, transport, housing, social participation, friends and family, information and access.
Significant progress has been made in some communities to make them more inclusive and accessible but, there is still evidence to show that progress in other areas is patchy and that's why on the 4 September 2014, Mark Harper, Minister for Disabled People launched a challenge to all communities to do more to be inclusive and accessible.
New Forest District Council is embracing this challenge and we would like to promote the services we already provide to disabled people within our communities as well as encourage a closer working partnership to remove any barriers they may face.

Overview Sand, a collection of fine rock particles, can be found in a variety of places including children's playgrounds, deserts (often forming into dunes), beaches and Zen gardens. Be careful not to get your feet wet, though; sand is impossible to get out from between wet toes. Kefka did not enjoy getting sand on his boots. In Pokémon games, a sand storm will, if in effect during the battle, damage all pokémon in battle every round, unless that pokémon is ground, rock or steel-based.

DETROIT - Kwame Kilpatrick was all smiles Monday outside Detroit federal court but he wasn't talking about the government's star witness, Derrick Miller.
Kilpatrick and Miller were best friends at Detroit's Cass Technical High School. The former Detroit mayor was best man in Miller's wedding and the two were side-by-side as Kilpatrick became a state representative and mayor of Detroit. That is what makes Miller such a dangerous witness.
Monday recap: Star witness testifies against former pal Kilpatrick
"It adds an infinite level of credibility to the government's case because of the personal relationship," said legal expert Keith Crobett. "Your best friend, one of your best friends, those are the people that know."
When Kilpatrick was taking cash out of the civic fund for golf clubs, yoga classes and family trips to California. Miller was signing the checks when Kilpatrick was steering state grant money to his wife Carlita and friend Bobby Ferguson.
Read more: Kilpatrick accused of paying for yoga with Civic Fund
Miller was getting the paperwork together to make sure the funds would be delivered. He told the jury Monday that he and Kilpatrick knew the civic fund money was supposed to be for Detroit children and voter education but they agreed no one would ever find out who donated the money or how it was spent.
Miller testified state officials were concerned about Carlita getting money from a grant pushed by her husband, but they did it anyway.
More: Miller's testimony may be vital to prosecution's case against Kilpatrick
His attorney insists Miller's testimony is true.
"Every question that has been put to him, even in court today, he's answered truthfully and thoroughly," said Bryon Pitts, Miller's attorney.
But will the jury believe him?
"They will forgive a witness who has committed bad acts as long as he is frank about that and doesn't try to minimize his own role," said Corbett.

The short film festival that began in a Darlinghurst cafe is continuing to expand.
Tropfest will have its first free-to-air live telecast as well as new events around the world this year.
Its founder, John Polson, said SBS had agreed to broadcast the short film festival on February 17, a move considered as an upgrade from the former pay television coverage on the defunct Movie Network.
''This is a first for us,''he said. ''Many years ago we had a relationship with Channel Nine but nothing like live. So the combination of live and free-to-air is just a huge moment.''
Polson believes SBS's coverage will massively increase the television audience for the festival, which takes place in The Domain with live satellite feeds to sites around the country.
Established as the Tropicana Short Film Festival in 1993, it aims to celebrate short film-making and provide a platform for emerging talent.
''Nothing against the commercial networks but SBS is not a full commercial network in that sense and that allows Tropfest to keep the sort of independent spirit we've spent 21 years nurturing,'' Polson said.
Just back from last weekend's first New Zealand Tropfest, which attracted 8500 people in New Plymouth, North Island, Polson confirmed there will be another Tropfest New York in June and Tropfest Arabia in Abu Dhabi in October.
''There are one or two others that we've signed the deal but haven't announced,'' he said. ''And there are at least a couple more that we're in advanced discussion about.''
With the locations under discussion believed to include China, Singapore, Paris and London, Polson said the plan was to have a Tropfest somewhere in the world every six weeks.
Sam Worthington announced as judge
Australian actor Sam Worthington will be returning home from Hollywood to attend Tropfest.
Worthington, who shot to international fame with his role in Avatar, has been confirmed as a Tropfest judge.
He'll also speak at Tropfest Roughcut, a talk-fest aimed at emerging filmmakers, on February 16.
Worthington will join a line-up which includes Rebecca Gibney, Gyton Grantley and Magda Szubanski attending this year's festival final.
The West Australian actor, who was most recently seen in Man on a Ledge, Wrath of the Titans and The Debt, will star in the action thriller For the Dogs with director and compatriot Phillip Noyce.
Worthington's association with Tropfest includes winning the Best Actor Award in 2001 as well as entering several successful films.
Tropfest will cover three days of screenings, parties and the film-maker symposium Tropfest Roughcut from February 15.

Fantasy Starting Pitcher Planner
Week Two
Welcome to the 2013 debut of the Weekly Pitching Planner. Each week, I will cover the pitchers who are slated to make two starts and help you decide who you should start and who you should sit. Sometimes, such as when a pitcher has have one good matchup and one difficult assignment, pitchers will be in the "consider" category; your league settings might then determine whether or not that pitcher should find a spot in your lineup. The pitchers will be split by league, and then by categories:
Auto-Starts – These are your surefire fantasy aces. You paid a handsome sum for them either with an early draft pick or a high-dollar auction bid, so you're starting them anywhere, anytime. Guys can emerge onto or fall off of this list as the season evolves. There won't be many—if any—notes associated with these groupings each week. They are, as the name says, automatic starts.
Starts – These are the guys I'm recommending you put into your lineup this week. Some will be obvious, but not quite auto-start excellent, while others will be waiver-wire residents blessed with a pair of favorable outings that you can take advantage of in your league. There will be accompanying notes supporting the decisions.
Considers – As mentioned earlier, these guys will be on the fence, and your league settings and position in the standings will really make the decisions here. If the Minnesota Twins' fifth starter is slated to face the Astros at home, followed by an interleague trip to San Diego, he will appear on this list because the matchups are great, even though he isn't. If you are in a 10-team mixed league, you probably don't need to take the risk, but a 10-team AL-only -eaguer might see it as a nice opportunity to log some quality innings from a freely available resource.
Sits – These are the guys I'm getting away from this week. They will range in talent from solid to poor. Rarely will you see a really good pitcher here unless he gets a pair of assignments in unfriendly locales, such as Coors Field and the Rogers Centre. Speaking of the fateful "@ COL," any mediocre talent with a trip to Coors Field will be a "sit" until further notice. If they turn the humidor back on, I'll reconsider, but after last year, there is just no reason to throw any non-stud in that park.
And, with that, here is our week two slate…
American League
Auto-Starts: Jake Peavy
National League
Auto-Starts: Gio Gonzalez and Madison Bumgarner

I'm not sure I agree with assessing things on how much you paid for players. I may be biased because I'm in a keeper/dynasty league and we don't "pay for players" but I have both Halladay and Wandy.

Anthropology 210. Feast or Famine: The Ecology and Politics of Food
This course concerns how food is produced, distributed and consumed. Topics covered include: how culture shapes taste, cuisine, nutrition and food production systems, as well as the ecological, economic and political factors that cause famine and food shortage. Films, case studies, guest speakers, action/service fieldwork and modeling exercises provide opportunities to think creatively about policy and action to increase food security for the most vulnerable at home and abroad. Students are expected to meet the challenge of bringing these issues into a forum for discussion on the Wheaton campus.

If you find yourself in need of an attorney as I did, contact Coffman Legal.
Matthew Coffman translates legalities into realities so you clearly understand the twists and turns of the legal world. I highly recommend Coffman Legal to you!
I called Coffman Legal after being discriminated against …
I called Coffman Legal after being discriminated against by my employer he explained to me what the laws was. and what I could do about it. he didn't waste any time getting started on my case he kept me updated on everything that was going on and he got me the money that I deserved. I was really impressed with the way he handled my case I would recommend him to anyone. out of 1 to 10 I rate him a 10.
I recently found myself in need of representation.
At the last minute, I decided to look online for an attorney outside our small town to at least get an opinion before I proceeded. It was my good fortune that Matthew Coffman responded. He answered my e-mail that same evening, and set up a time to speak by phone the next day. It was obvious during that first call that he, of course, understood much more clearly where I stood than I did myself. Mr. Coffman has that rare ability that encompasses both complete professionalism and true compassion. Ultimately, he secured an outcome that I would not have thought possible, and for which I am extremely grateful. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Coffman to anyone who finds him/herself in any type of situation regarding employment.
He is a very powerful attorney! More than 5 stars…
Attorney Matthew Coffman is knowledgeable and well informed! I found him using the same tool you are using now (Google) and I am glad I chose him. He stays in touch and keeps you up to date on your case.
When I contacted him, he didn't hesitate to help me.
I had been working with Mr. Coffman for over a year and half on this case. When I contacted him, he didn't hesitate to help me. He always gave great advise, always took the time to talk to me if it was 5 mins or 2 hours on the phone. He never made me feel rushed. He is so personable, honest, and professional. I couldn't have been happier with anybody else. I am over joyed with his commitment and hard work. I am also very pleased with the outcome. I would recommend him to anyone.
Matthew's representation was outstanding.
After calling several attorneys regarding my situation with my employer, I received a call back from Matthew Coffman advising that I had a case of discrimination and unlawful termination. Matthew's representation was outstanding. He took his time to answer all of my questions and answered my e-mails in a timely manner. I would recommend him due to his willingness to help and make sure that his client comes first.

Fall Means Fishing, Camping in Texas State Parks
ATHENS—With cooler weather just around the corner and cabin fever taking its toll on those of the outdoor persuasion, people are ready to start enjoying the outdoors again. In North Texas, Meridian and Cleburne State Parks offer fishing opportunities close to home with excellent hiking and camping opportunities as well.
Both these lakes have ample shoreline access for those who prefer to relax on dry ground while waiting for a bite. If you have a boat to float, both parks have boat ramps. (With drought conditions being what they are, call ahead to make sure the boat ramp is useable.) These lakes are "no-wake lakes," so boats with outboard motors may only idle while moving from spot to spot. This rule, however, makes these lakes ideal for paddle-powered crafts, so bring your canoe or kayak.
Meridian State Park's 505 acres are located about three miles southwest of the city of Meridian off State Highway 22. The park is scenic and heavily wooded with many campsites. On weekends with good weather, the park can be a popular place, so call (512) 389-8900 to make reservations if you plan on camping.
You can also just access the park for the day and take advantage of a surprisingly diverse fishery. The 50-acre lake is surrounded by campsites on the lower end. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has placed large piles of brush within casting distance of some of the more accessible shoreline areas in order to improve angling opportunity and provide valuable fish habitat within the lake. Bass, crappie, catfish and sunfish can be targeted and anglers will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of bluegill, redear, longear and redbreast sunfish. Nightcrawlers (earthworms) or crickets under a bobber on light tackle can set your kids up for some fast-paced fishing.
Cleburne State Park is a 528-acre park located 10 miles southwest of the city of Cleburne on Park Road 21. The park offers a 107-acre lake in which one can pursue bass, catfish, crappie and sunfish. TPWD has placed multiple brush piles in this lake as well. Many of these are within easy casting distance from the shoreline. Bring your bikes and challenge yourself on the 5.5-mile mountain bike trail if you're not worn out from catching fish.
You can fish without a license in lakes totally enclosed with a state park. However, it is important to remember that length, bag limits and other regulations still apply. Park entrance fees must be paid in order to gain access to the lakes. Both Meridian and Cleburne State Parks charge $5 per day per person 13 and older; children 12 and under are free.

After cutting up a whole beef tenderloin into steaks for Mother's Day I had a couple of pieces left, so I salt-and-peppered them Saturday afternoon and took them out on Tuesday.
I fired up a chimney of lump and dumped it into my Smokey Joe, and laid my 18" iron grate over the top. After it got nice and hot I put the steaks on for a couple of minutes on each side.
I also cooked up a pan of mushrooms as a side dish and spooned them over the top.
We don't eat filets very often because a)we already have a freezer full of beef and b)it's a pricier cut best-suited for special occasions. But even though it has a milder flavor than some other steaks it's nice from time to time, and the tenderness can't be beat!

Event Coverage Sponsored by
With a host of new offerings, pan-Asian personal care ingredients event in-cosmetics Asia returns to Bangkok's BITEC October 29–31. In addition to new features and a focus on innovation, the event offers an educational program designed to deliver crucial insights into trends, formulation techniques and regulatory challenges.
"Asia is a rapidly growing hothouse of innovation, attracting attention from around the world," said Sarah Gibson, event director, in-cosmetics Asia. "Reflecting this dynamism, in-cosmetics Asia 2013 is set to boast an impressive offering catering for an ever increasing sophisticated Asian market and in particular for visitors from Japan, China, South Korea and India."
Asia's beauty market is thriving, with Euromonitor International predicting Asia-Pacific will account for an impressive 28% of the global cosmetics and toiletries market by 2014. With trends from Asia—such as BB, CC and DD creams—taking the world by storm, this region has become a focal point for major international brands and a powerhouse of innovation. It's against this backdrop that in-cosmetics Asia 2013 is shaping up to be the largest event in its history. Exhibitor numbers are already up 35% compared to 2012, with suppliers from South Korea (a hotbed of technology and beauty innovations) up as much as 77% and those from China up 43%.
Following visitor feedback from previous shows, a Packaging Zone has been added for 2013. This dedicated area offers anyone involved in purchasing packaging materials the opportunity to meet with suppliers of primary cosmetics packaging face-to-face.
in-cosmetics Asia is introducing a country focus, dedicated to South Korea, which, arguably, has the most innovative personal care market in the region with sales of beauty products growing by 9.1% in 2012. Among the featured elements, marketing trends presentations will delve into the country's innovations, and a South Korean Product Trail will showcase selected ingredients—together offering a 360° look at one of the world's most vibrant beauty markets.

Get the Recipe
Key lime pie is gorgeous in its simplicity; a velvet custard full of brightness and tang, cradled in a graham cracker crust, topping optional. Devotees of the dessert tend to be traditionalists, and get offended at the slightest attempt to mess around with the flavors. To those purists out there, I'm sorry, this recipe is probably not for you. For everyone else, adding a little hint of coriander to key lime pie adds a delightful dimension of flavor that's worth trying the next time you've got little key limes in your possession.
The recipe is simple, but be sure you leave enough time. Before you make the filling, crushed coriander seeds must be mixed with freshly squeezed, warmed key lime juice, and allowed to steep overnight in the fridge. This process imparts the subtle flavor of coriander into the juice, which is then added to the recipe and baked as you would any other key lime pie.
I decided to top mine with bruleed meringue, but if you'd prefer something richer, whipped cream is a great alternative.

Did you know?
Molteno is known as the 'Home of Ouma Rusks' – a well-loved South African dunking biscuit.
The Stormberg route is a slow, meandering route between Molteno and Aliwal North in the Eastern Cape during which you imbibe all the local flavours, customs, characters and cultures of the area. There is rich history around here, from the early presence of the San to the many South African (Anglo-Boer) War battles that took place all over these mountains, and beyond.
Molteno is known for many things. It was first a booming coal town. Because of the abundance of good building sandstone in the area, it is blessed with sturdy, attractive homes built long ago. There is also a lot of San art in the mountains around here, and some quirky humour in its main street in the form of a sign advertising food from the Hungry Denn: 'Stop and eat or we'll both starve to death...'
Another important fact you should know about Molteno is that it gets very, very cold in the winter months of June to August. With a record low temperature of -18 degrees Celsius (28 June 1996), it vies with Sutherland in the Western Cape as South Africa's coldest town. Locals will, of course, tell you Molteno is without doubt the coldest of them all.
From Molteno we head to Dordrecht, the farming town that lies in the Stormberg Mountains. Like Molteno, Dordrecht is part of the merino sheep agri-business in the area and also has a number of lovely sandstone homes.
We stay overnight in Dordrecht at the Grey Street self-catering establishment, which means we have to go on a quick grocery shop to the local Quicksave convenience store. We ask the Grey Street owners, Tim and Shari Salmon, for the keys to the Anderson Museum for an interesting insight into local lifestyles from a century ago. Look out for the maize sheller, the old petrol pumps, and the rather frightening dentist's chair.
The next morning we tour the area, enjoying the snow-dusted Stormberg foothills and seeing the end of the so-called 'Dragon's Tail' – the southern Drakensberg peaks.
We drive on through the rather spectacular Barkly Pass to the town of Barkly East. But we don't tarry long, because tonight's stop is in the village of Rhodes and there's about 40km of mountains to cross.
Finally, we check into Walkerbouts Inn and make for the bar where owner Dave Walker is pouring the first round of the evening. It's starting to chill down outside, and the hospitality and warmth at Walkerbouts are very welcome.
The next morning we head back through Barkly East on the R58 to Lady Grey, where we'll spend the night. It's only 50km on to Aliwal North and we'll make a slow drive of it tomorrow...

Emil du Bois-Reymond (November 7, 1818 – December 26, 1896) was a German physician and physiologist, the discoverer of nerve action potential, and the father of experimental electrophysiology.
Berlin, was the place of Du Bois-Reymond's birth, his life's work, and his death. One of his younger brothers was the mathematician Paul du Bois-Reymond (1831-1889).[1] The family was of Huguenot origin.
Educated first at the French College in Berlin, then at Neuchâtel, where his father had returned, Du Bois-Reymond entered in 1836 the University of Berlin. He seems to have been uncertain at first as to the topic of his studies, for he was a student of the renowned ecclesiastical historian August Neander, and dallied with geology, but eventually he began to study medicine, with such zeal and success as to attract the notice of Johannes Peter Müller (1801-1858), a well-known teacher of anatomy and physiology.
Müller's earlier studies had been distinctly physiological, but his inclination, no less than his position as professor of anatomy as well as of physiology in the University of Berlin, caused him later to study of comparative anatomy, and this, aided by his interest in problems of general philosophy, gave his views of physiology a breadth and a depth which influenced the progress of that science in his day profoundly. He had, about the time when the young Du Bois-Reymond came to his lectures, published his Elements of Physiology, the dominant note of which may be said to be this:
"Though there appears to be something in the phenomena of living beings which cannot be explained by ordinary mechanical, physical or chemical laws, much may be so explained, and we may without fear push these explanations as far as we can, so long as we keep to the solid ground of observation and experiment."Müller recognized in the Neuchâtel a mind fitted to carry on physical researches into the phenomena of living things in a legitimate way. He made Du Bois-Reymond in 1840 his assistant in physiology, and as a starting-point for an inquiry put into his hands the essay which the Italian Carlo Matteucci, had just published on the electric phenomena of animals. This determined the work of Du Bois-Reymond's life. He chose as the subject of his graduation thesis "Electric fishes," and so commenced a long series of investigations on bioelectricity, by which he enriched science and made for himself a name. The results of these inquiries were made known partly in papers communicated to scientific journals, but also and chiefly in his work Researches on Animal Electricity, the, first part of which appeared in 1848, the last in 1884.
It is a record of the exact determination and approximative analysis of the electric phenomena presented by living beings. Du Bois-Reymond, beginning with the imperfect observations of Matteucci, built up this branch of science. He did so by inventing or improving methods, by devising new instruments of observation or by adapting old ones.
On the other hand, the volumes in question contain an exposition of a theory. In them Du Bois-Reymond put forward a general conception by the help of which he strove to explain the phenomena which he had observed. He developed the view that a living tissue, such as muscle, might be regarded as composed of a number of "electric molecules", of molecules having certain electric properties, and that the electric behaviour of the muscle as a whole in varying circumstances was the outcome of the behaviour of these native electric molecules. We now know that these are the sodium, potassium and other ions which are responsible for electric membrane phenomena in excitable celles.
His theory was soon attacked by several contemporary physiologists, such as Ludimar Hermann, who maintained that a living untouched tissue, such as a muscle, is not the subject of electric currents so long as it is at rest, it is isoelectric in substance, and therefore need not be supposed to be made up of electric molecules, all the electric phenomena which it manifests being due to internal molecular changes associated with activity or injury. Du Bois-Reymond's theory was of great value if only as a working hypothesis, and that as such it greatly helped in the advance of science. Thus, Du Bois-Reymond's work lay chiefly in the direction of animal electricity, yet he carried his inquiries--such as could be studied by physical methods--into other parts of physiology, more especially into the phenomena of diffusion, though he published little or nothing concerning the results at which he arrived.
For many years, too, Du Bois-Reymond exerted a great influence as a teacher. In 1858, upon the death of Johannes Müller, the chair of anatomy and physiology, which that man had held, was divided into a chair of human and comparative anatomy, which was given to Karl Bogislaus Reichert (1811-1883), and a chair of physiology, which naturally fell to Du Bois-Reymond. This he held to his death, carrying out his researches for many years under unfavourable conditions of inadequate accommodation. In 1877, through his influence, the government provided the university with a proper physiological laboratory. In 1851 he was admitted into the Academy of Sciences of Berlin, and in 1867 became its perpetual secretary.
For many years Du Bois-Reymond and his friend Hermann von Helmholtz, who like him had been a pupil of Johannes Peter Müller, were prominent scientists and professors in the Prussian capital. Acceptable at court, they both used their position and their influence for the advancement of science. Du Bois-Reymond, as has been said, had in his earlier years wandered into fields other than those of physiology and medicine, and in his later years he went back to some of these. His gave occasional discourses, dealing with general topics and various problems of philosophy.
Du Bois-Reymond is now remembered also in terms of the ignorabimus, to which he gave common currency. The mathematician Paul David Gustav du Bois-Reymond (1831-1889) was his brother.
The Seven World RiddlesEdit
In 1880 Bois-Reymond made a famous speech before the Berlin Academy of Sciences outlining seven "world riddles" some of which, he declared, neither science nor philosophy could ever explain. He was especially concerned to point out the limitations of mechanical assumptions about nature in dealing with certain problems he considered "transcendent." A list of these "riddles":
- the ultimate nature of matter and force,
- the origin of motion,
- the origin of life,
- the "apparently teleological arrangements of nature," not an "absolutely transcendent riddle,"
- the origin of simple sensations, "a quite transcendent" question,
- the origin of intelligent thought and language, which might be known if the origin of sensations could be known, and
- the question of freewill.[1]
Concerning numbers 1, 2 and 5 he proclaimed: "ignoramus et ignorabimus": "we do not know the answer, nor shall we ever."

A group for anyone iterested in pinstriping and sign painting. From experts to the first timer. Hopefully people will teach and learn here.
Members: 9
Latest Activity: Oct 12, 2013
This group does not have any discussions yet.
Hey Bud,
There isn't much way to flatten the paint, that I know of, the HOK stuff is flat already, but I don't use it. One idea is to wipe some whiting across it when it is almost dry, another is to not clean all of the oil out of your brush (more of a mistake). I use either stabilo (blue or white) but they melt in the heat... I also use orange or white grease pencils and draw it really light. Then there is the whole pounce pattern thing... You will find that you will use just about anything, because you can't find what you think you have. :D
Is there a way to flatten the paint. Right now I'm using one shot and I know they make a flattener for it but everyone around here quit carrying one shot and now its all house of kolors lettering and striping paint. What do you guys use or do to flatten the paint?
Well, I will put it this way; Alan gets approached by 75 people a year wanting to learn how to stripe, so he is a bit hard on you in the beginning and ignores you a lot, until you prove yourself to him. He has a great sense of humor, and his knowledge is great to get out of him too. He's a torture tester of paints and products and uses regular old striping brushes, none of the fancy so-and-so's brushes. I learned a LOT from Glen Weisgerber, Howie Nisgor, Joe Sulpy, Clay White, Herb Martinez and apprenticed under Harry Henkel for 3 years striping and lettering trucks.
They are all great guys with their own quirks and all, but who doesn't have those?

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's volleyball defeated the visiting Florida Southern Mocs in a Tuesday night Sunshine State contest by a score of 3-0 (26-24, 25-20, 25-16). The win pushed the Lions to the second position in the Sunshine State Conference race.
The Lions took an early 3-0 lead in set one, but Florida Southern bounced back to lead 11-6. Eventually, the Lions and Mocs tied the set at 13-13, but after trailing 24-23, Saint Leo rebounded with three straight points to take the set win, 26-24.
Despite falling behind early in the second set, the Lions returned from a 4-1 deficit to force a seven point lead. The momentum spurred an offensive attack that would not allow Saint Leo to be beat, as they took home a 25-20 set victory.
With a 2-0 lead in their favor, the Lions retired to the eight-minute break. Upon their return, an exciting battle between Saint Leo and Florida Southern ensued, as the Lions took home a 25-16 set win.
Offensively, Alexa Griffith-Hardy, Lauren Campbell, and Tawni Warren all notched 11 kills for the Lions, propelling Saint Leo to a .237 attack percentage. In addition, senior Jordan Sisson tallied nine kills and hit for .533, while Jaclyn Mailoto collected 42 assists, cruising to 14 assists per set.
On the defensive side of the game, Saint Leo collected eight blocks and 72 total digs, as Tawni Warren and Yaidimar Santiago led both teams with 17 digs each.
The Lions will return to action on Friday, Nov. 1 when they host the visiting Warner Royals. The match is slated to begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Bowman Center.

Apparently more than a thousand amendments have been tabled for the Alternative Investment Fund Management directive, Brussels' attempt to bring private equity and hedge funds under its loving control.
This unprecedented level of rewriting during the legislative process is a testament to the inexorable sway of the alternative asset management industry. The original, draconian, draft of the AIFM was seen as a shy at the ever popular Aunt Sally of hedge funds, or 'locusts' as they are known in Germany. The usually painstaking and thoughtful asset management unit of the European Commission's internal markets division had apparently come under political pressure to bring out a hardhitting draft directive in a hurry.
At leisure, however, even the European Parliament found regulating a European hedge fund industry too harshly might not be that good an idea. Its own impact study found implementation of the proposed directive as it stood could result in a 0.2 per cent contraction in the combined GDP of the European Union.
Possibly, however, the initial announcement and pained squawks for the industry were enough to satisfy the hedge fund haters, and now the tedious work of actually piecing together something actually workable can be done out of the glare of the media spotlight.
Certainly the number of journalists prepared to dig through all 1000+ amendments is likely to be as slim as the number of readers prepared to read about them.
