I don't see how that is. The GTX690 is 2 non gimped GTX680s except for clock speed was dropped a tiny bit one PCB for the same price as 2 GTX680s. Not to mention itll run cooler, its one card rather then 2 so you save space, and with 2 GTX680 your still limited to 2GB fo ram. In sli the ram doesnt add up its only the power, so with the GTX690 the ram actually does add up so you do get the extra 2GB of frame buffer for 4GB. Call me out if im wrong though. That was the case when i ran 2 GTX260s.
Nice. In Europe it will be more than 1000 Euros with all the shitty taxes included. And for what?! To play console ports that I can run in full details on my 5870 card??! LOL. Thanks, but no thanks.
Your wrong. Still only 2GB. Not even a paper launch. This is just a grab at news headlines by Nvidia. Reviewers dont have card, and 680s are hard to come by so why would this card be available in the forseeable future. The only thing they have done is to allow ATI enough time to tweak the final specs on the 7990 to beat or match the performance.
Forseeable future? There will be 680, 670, 660s and 690s on the shelves. Its not like theres never going to be any more GK104s available.
They are not, NV and AMD just are greedy bastards that want to squeeze every single penny from us, FYI nvidia planned to sell GK104 at $299 before knowing it could compete with HD 7970.
the benchmarks graphs don't look right. They're totally different. Look at Metro 2033 GTX 680 vs GTX 690, and then look at GTX 690 vs GTX 690 SLI. The number for GTX 690s are totally different for the exact same game, exact same resolution and settings.
I was reading over at [H] about the new cooler on this beast: "Jen-Hsun Huang , president and CEO of NVIDIA, sent his best on a mission. That mission was to build the best dual GK104 video card they could. That mission has been successfully executed and what we have here today is the GeForce GTX 690. GeForce GTX 690 Can you imagine a video card without any flimsy plastic parts? Now you can because the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 will not be composed of any cheap plastics. A heavy duty dual vapor chamber cooling system relying on heavily nickel plated finstacks will sweat what little heat these GPUs pump out. A cast aluminum frame with trivalent chromium plating gives the card a unique look and tremendous rigidity. An injection molded magnesium fan housing adds to the formidable stiffness of the card. A brand new thixomolding process was used to get the required part precision. The fan housing is made from injection molded magnesium alloy. Magnesium alloys are used throughout the automotive and aerospace industry (including the engines of the Bugatti Veyron and F-22 Raptor) for their light weight, heat dissipation and acoustic dampening properties - which is the same reason we use it in the GTX 690. Clear polycarbonate windows that let you peer inside. A center mounted axial fan with optimized fin pitch and air entry angles is a top quality unit used to move cool air through the finstack. While we have not gotten to hear the fan yet, we are told its controller is top notch, which will be underlined by the decibel specs below. A ducted baseplate works with the low profile PCB components. And that is just the cooling system. The GeForce GTX 690 thermal unit cost more than 3X more than NVIDIA has ever spent on thermal system for a retail video card before. The PCB and its components were not overlooked in the process either. A 10 layer, 2oz. copper PCB is supplied sporting dual 1536 core GK104 "Kepler" silicon all being pushed by a 10 phase "heavy duty" power supply, all in a 300 watt TDP package. If you take a closer look at the PCB you will notice that all usually protruding components have been "shaved" to cut way down on turbulence, allowing better airflow throughout the GTX 690. Also the less turbulence we have, the less noise we have. An on board SLI bridge logic provides independent PCI-e 3.0 x16 access to both GPUs. Clocks - Noise - RAM NVIDIA tells us the sound profile of the GeForce GTX 690 will be 36db at idle and a mere 46db under full gaming load. Base clock on the GeForce GTX 690 is what will be considered "low" by most [H]'ers at just 915MHz Base and 1015MHz Boost, but don't get your panties in a wad just quite yet. Here is the kicker. Being that this is the most expensive and exotic cooling system ever sold by NVIDIA, you think you would expect great overclocking and we are told that you exactly should expect great overclocking. 1300MHz was thrown around more than once while discussing this new GTX 690's overclocks. Finally this will be the one specification that some will shake their heads at, but from what we have seen in our testing, RAM has not been bottleneck for the most part except in very stressful situations as you can see here in our GTX 680 SLI Review. The GeForce GTX 690 will carry with it 4GB of RAM utilizing a 512-bit GDDR5 infrastructure." Source: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/04/28/geforce_gtx_690_perfection_inside_out
That's actually an interesting read. I kind of agree with the strategy, if you're paying for the best single card solution, why not get increased quality along with top of the line performance? I could never afford such a card, but damn is that thing sexy, and I wish I could...
So, I wonder if W1zz`s reviews will be accidentally leaked? Like the accidental leaked review of the 6950/6790s
d And thats why the reviews only come out on the 7th of next month, and availability to follow by as long or longer before they are either sold out of the limited stock, or the price gouging begins. This is like saying we have the fastest veyron, but you cant have one until the ultr rich have had thwm and moved on to something else, now be hally with just drooling over the specs and flamebaiting with news marks.
gtx 690 = overheat fail What an overpriced, overheating, wasted of money. Seriously $1000 USD, here in Australia that will be more like $1200 + $$$$ what a bloody rip off.
Too Expensive! This is just too expensive and even if I have enough money to buy this I won't get this and just wait for GK112-110 or whatever upcoming next gen gpu...

Whew. What happened to the time, folks?
No matter. The Principals haven't really been too badly hurt lately, that i can remember. We did have a helper cut her pinky knuckle open though, and it was sick.
We now have something like 8 semi-regular full timers, and up to 7 more part timers working at the Greatest Employer on Earth. Hunting season was crazy, but we've pulled through and we're in full-on renovation mode. Ever watch Brewster's Millions with Richard Prior? If you are using a computer, then probably not. But that story line is kind of like us two luddites spending our loot on upgrades, which all look surprisingly like laser-eyed cyborg robots when compared with our cast-iron 1930′s equipment that came 'free with purchase'. Your sausage, and your hog, will be glad we did, once all the dust settles.

When Marco Zaldivar purchased four T-Mobile cell phones for his family a few years ago, he had no interest in text messages. They came anyway, and by 2007 unwanted texts were adding $20 to $30 to his bill every month, he claims. When he asked T-Mobile to shut off text service, the firm said that was impossible. Instead, he was given a Hobson's choice -- either sign up for a bundled text message plan with a monthly fee, pay $800 in early termination fees to cancel the service or turn the phones off for the remainder of his two-year contract.
Zaldivar decided on a fourth option -- he's suing T-Mobile for violating consumer protection laws. The lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, got a small green light last week from a U.S. District Court in Seattle, which rejected T-Mobile's motion to dismiss the case.
"When T-Mobile customer service told me I could always take the battery out of my phone to avoid the charges, I couldn't believe this was happening to me," Zaldivar, a corrections officer in California, said in an e-mail statement to msnbc.com. "It left me no choice but to try to stand up for myself, and others in the same situation."
A number of the texts received by Zaldivar were unsolicited advertisements, said Zaldivar's lawyer, Jeff Friedman. Even when unopened, his client was still charged for the messages, he said.
T-Mobile said it would not comment on the lawsuit, but a spokeswoman said the company has recently added a feature that allows consumers to essentially turn off texting.
"T-Mobile is committed to providing the best customer experience in wireless and does offer customers the ability to block chargeable text messages," the spokeswoman said. "T-Mobile also has extensive filters built into the network to help detect and block spam text messages being sent to customer's handsets that originate from internet IP addresses."
Last year, when the Red Tape Chronicles explored the topic of text message spam, a T-Mobile spokesman said text message service could not be shut off because it was used for internal billing purposes.
"The text messaging feature on your account is actually a mandatory feature and cannot be removed," the spokesman said. "This feature is needed because it's where voice mail and billing notifications are delivered."
If Zaldivar's lawsuit is given class-action status, T-Mobile could have a large case on its hands.
Friedman said about 17 million of the 27 million T-Mobile customers are not signed up for a text message bundle currently, and about 4 million of them have never sent a text message, indicating their lack of interest in text service. The lawsuit will attempt to include all those consumers in the class.
T-Mobile would not discuss how many subscribers pay for text message bundles.
The lawsuit maintains that T-Mobile, which is based in Bellevue, Wash., made text service "mandatory," while never making that pre-condition "clear and conspicuous" in its contracts. That violates Washington state's consumer protection laws, the lawsuit alleges.
"This is a matter of a long line of abuses, where people with the carrier have very little choice," Friedman said. "(Zaldivar) was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. He felt trapped, and that he was put in an unfair position."
Verizon, AT&T and Sprint allow consumers to shut down delivery of unwanted text messages.
The T-Mobile lawsuit comes at a time when all carriers are turning up the heat on consumers to sign up for monthly text bundles. In August, T-Mobile will increase its basic text message cost by 33 percent, from 15 cents to 20 cents per message. Other carriers made that jump earlier this year.
Consumers can avoid those high prices by signing up for a bundle -- 400 messages for $5 a month, for example.
Critics say the basic price of text messages is excessive compared to other cell phone data-related charges. Because they carry only 160 text characters, text messages consume a tiny amount of bandwidth -- about 1/4000th as much as a typical song, according to the blog GThing.net. But downloading a 4-megabyte song costs only about $1 on a standard cell phone data download service -- or roughly five times the price of a single text message. At test message prices, music downloads would cost almost $6,000 each, the site argues. You can double-check the Gthing.net math here.
And remember, cell phone companies make 20 cents twice on each message -- when it's sent, and when it's received.
Friedman says he expects a federal judge to rule on certification of the proposed lawsuit class by the end of the year.
RED TAPE WRESTLING TIPS• Many people are signed up for a per-message text plan and don't realize it. If that's you, shut it off now, before you get a bunch of text spam. Check with your provider. Now with T-Mobile on board, all the major providers essentially let you shut off texting.
• For most people, even light users, it's worth signing up for at least a small text bundle. They are reasonably priced -- as little as $3 per month – and act like insurance for that one month you are stuck in a train tunnel and find yourself sending 15 or 20 text messages. It's odd for me to be recommending that you sign up for a service with a fee like that, but that's just the way cell phone math works right now.
• If you have teenagers, seriously consider plans with unlimited text messages. Youngsters are capable of sending incredible numbers of text messages, so you're best off insuring yourself against that.
• Even with an unlimited plan, you can still end up paying a lot for text messages – so-called "premium text messages" -- which can cost $1-$10 each. These are texts sent to or from special subscription services, like dating services. One consumer who wrote to Red Tape found himself on the long end of a $10,000 bill not long ago. Even if you use text messaging, you should consider calling your carrier and asking that premium texting be disabled.

"All of a sudden, he got angry for whatever reason and just started going to town kicking our cars," said J.B. Lawrence, manager of Specialties Automotive Group.
The suspect is seen kicking a Maserati, Mustang, Subaru STI and a Mercedes Benz.
"It sucks for us because we're out thousands of dollars now, obviously insurances covers it, but people who have come to look at the cars in the meantime they have a big dent in the door obviously you can't sell it like that," said Lawrence.
The dealership's manager says the Bountiful and West Bountiful police departments are investigating.

What is Hetastarch?
Hetastarch (hydroxyethyl starch) is made from natural sources of starch. Hetastarch increases the volume of blood plasma that can be lost from bleeding or severe injury. Plasma is needed to circulate red blood cells that deliver oxygen throughout the body.
Hetastarch is used to treat or prevent hypovolemia (decreased blood plasma volume, also called "shock") that may occur as a result of serious injury, surgery, severe blood loss, burns, or other trauma.
Hetastarch may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
In This Section:
What is the most important information I should know about Hetastarch?
You should not receive this medication if you have a bleeding or blood clotting disorder, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, or urination problems not caused by hypovolemia (decreased blood plasma volume).
Hetastarch can harm your kidneys. Call your doctor at once if you have any of these symptoms of kidney damage: swelling, rapid weight gain, unusual tiredness, nausea, vomiting, feeling short of breath, red or pink urine, painful or difficult urination, or little or no urinating.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Hetastarch?
You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to hetastarch, or if you have:
- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder
- kidney disease
- congestive heart failure; or
- urination problems not caused by hypovolemia (decreased blood plasma volume)
If possible before you receive hetastarch, tell your doctor if you have:
- kidney disease
- liver disease
- a history of heart disease; or
- if you are allergic to corn
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether hetastarch will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication.
It is not known whether hetastarch passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
In an emergency situation it may not be possible to tell your caregivers about your health conditions, or if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Make sure any doctor caring for your pregnancy or your baby knows you have received this medicine.
What conditions might Hetastarch treat?

New tires, would like to regear to compensate
I have a 2010 silverado 1500 with the 5.3L and the 6 speed, and the 3.08 gear. I have recently added a lift and tires and obviously truck no longer has the grunt off the line like it did. I know I need to change gear to fix this small issue, I would like to know which gears would be ideal for the new tires and still keep my mileage from falling thru the floor. I had the 265/65/18 tires stock, and now I am running a 305/65R18 almost exactly 2 inches taller, I know I will not get it exactly like it was but I was considering a going to 3.73's. Will they fir with my current carrier in my front diff? The rear diff should be fine. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

SS, yes the truck is 4wd and since I was talking about concerns for the front diff should have been a give away ;). And you think a 3.23 gear is right? Or did you mean 3.73?
Thank you fleetwood, the chart helps. But 1 concern, question I have is will I need to get a new carrier for the front diff will it all fit in the case?
Since I have the 6 speed and reading the other posts about this I'm really considering going to the 4.11's and calling it a day
ya I want sure if you had a 4x4 since you were talking about keeping the rear the same.....with a 18 inch tire 4.11 may bring your rpm to high at freeway speeds.

New tires are 33.6 tall stock were 31.6 so a 2 inch increase in height
08-30-2011, 12:28 PM #9I would go with the 3.73 for MPG's or the 4.10's for a little more power off the line.
08-30-2011, 12:42 PM #10Ok...4.11 or maybe even 4.56 would be ok..... 4.11 for sure.

2012 NBA Mock Draft – Consensus Ver 1.0
Each year HOOPSWORLD puts together a team of writers to look at the NBA Draft. The idea here is to illustrate how differently (or similarly) writers from various NBA markets see the 2012 NBA Draft.
So who are these guys?… Alex Raskin has covered the NBA for four years and is based in New York with the Knicks and the Nets. Yannis Koutroupis is HOOPSWORLD's college basketball editor. He has also covered the NBA for six years and covers the San Antonio Spurs. Joel Brigham has covered the NBA for seven years and covers the Central Division for HOOPSWORLD including the Bulls and the Pacers. Steve Kyler is the editor and publisher of HOOPSWORLD and has covered the NBA for 12 seasons.
So with that out of the way… Here is the first installment of the 2012 NBA Mock Draft – Consensus Draft.
Joel's Notebook: Mock draft season has officially begun, but this early on in the game it can be pretty hard to nail down who goes where because we really don't have any idea about how the lottery is going to play out.
This year's lottery in particular has a lot at stake, especially for teams like Golden State, Brooklyn, Utah, and Portland. Unless the Nets end up with a top-three pick, for example, their lottery selection will head to the Blazers as part of the Gerald Wallace deal, and Utah will get Golden State's pick if it falls out of the top seven. Right now, the Warriors would pick exactly seventh, but that could change should the lottery gods decide that a team slated eighth or lower should jump them. So if, say, Toronto and Brooklyn end up in the top three, they'll get a crack at this draft's top talents, and Golden State and Portland will be out of luck. On the other hand, Golden State could keep their pick and Portland could potentially end up with two of the first eleven selections.
A huge part of the excitement leading up to the draft is who goes where, but at this point it's almost equally exciting to see who picks where.
Yannis' Notebook: The NBA draft lottery cannot get here fast enough for the Charlotte Bobcats because that day will determine their foreseeable future. Should they win, they'll get the top prize in the draft: Anthony Davis. Davis is a franchise player whose game favors Kevin Garnett's, but his attitude and mindset reminds me a lot of Tim Duncan's.
If there's anyone capable of changing the Bobcats' culture it's him. However, it's well documented that the team with the worst record rarely wins the lottery. That thought has to be a nightmare that keeps Bobcats owner Michael Jordan awake at night.
Not to take anything away from Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Brad Beal, Thomas Robinson or any of the other top prospects in this year's class, but they're not Davis and they're not what the Bobcats need. The Bobcats need someone like Davis, who epitomizes unselfishness and focuses on doing the little things that are vital to win.
Should the Bobcats end up losing the lottery, their best bet could be to put the pick on the open market and see what they can get for it. There should be teams more interested in trading up than they are in staying put. Plus, this team would really benefit from adding some more proven talent if it's not Davis they're drafting.
For all the wrong moves and bad hires MJ has made, the potential is there for him to turn things around in fairly quick fashion. It's contingent on him landing Davis, though. With Davis, a high-profile new head coach and some solid offseason signings, the Bobcats could immediately become respectable.
Alex's Notebook: No matter how good Jared Sullinger looked over his last two years at Ohio State, there's no getting around the fact that he's undersized, even at power forward.
A lot of people see the hulking, 6-9, 280-pound big man coming off the board when the Portland Trail Blazers use their first pick (which should be the one they got from the Nets, assuming it doesn't fall in the top three, in which case Brooklyn would retain the pick). However, Sullinger could still be on the board whenever the Trail Blazers make their second pick, which should come in the bottom half of the lottery. He supposedly has a 7-1 wingspan, which is great, but unless he's legitimately 6-9, there are going to be issues around the basket.
For instance, he probably can't expect to make 54.2 percent of his two-point shots as he did with the Buckeyes last season. Sullinger's slide could help guys like the North Carolina trio of Harrison Barnes, Tyler Zeller and John Henson, Kentucky forward Terrence Jones or Baylor forward Perry Jones.
Steve's Notebook: There are two guys to keep your eye on as the draft class starts to really take shape in the coming weeks. Mississippi State's Arnet Moultrie and St. Bonaventures' Andrew Nicholson.
One NBA executive who's team is drafting in the mid-to-late twenties says neither player will be there when his team drafts, especially as teams start to get them in for workouts.
Of the two, Moultrie is pegged as a borderline Lottery Pick with more than one NBA executive saying he won't be there in the late teens. Nicholson who had a great season for the Bonnies has really wowed talent evaluators from afar, most expect him to be a lock in the first round. The question is where is his floor?
The biggest question mark in the top of the draft is what to make of UCONN big man Andre Drummond. Most agree that he is far too big and athletic to fall far, but as one GM put it, "that's a risky pick" because you just don't know yet on Drummond.
Most agree with the assessment that he could be as good as say Orlando's Dwight Howard or could be as average as say New Orleans big man Emeka Okafor – the gap in NBA career could be that wide. One executive asked "Does Drummond have the work ethic Okafor has?" – that might be the biggest problem in projecting where Drummond lands because there is no real consensus on what kind of pro he'll be and with a top five pick, flaming out on a big man might be more risk than some teams want to take.
NBA teams will get their first real look at players in this draft class on May 19th as the Nets host a huge 44-player workout. None of the top tier guys are expected to attend, it will be mostly second round and undrafted types participating in 3-on-3 workouts. Most of the invites are trying to shore up their stock in advance of the Draft combine and individual workouts which will start in June.

Did you know that around the world, agriculture is the sector where by far the largest share of child labourers is found – nearly 60 percent?
In fact, more than 129 million girls and boys aged 5 to 17 years old work in the agriculture sector, which includes crop and livestock production as well as foresty and fishing activities. Agriculture is one of the three most dangerous sectors in terms of work-related fatalities, non-fatal accidents and occupational diseases, and approximately 59 percent (or 70 million) of all children in hazardous work aged 5–17 are in agriculture.
It is important to note that not all activities that children participate in within this sector are considered as "child labour." Some participation in family farm activities can teach children valuable life skills, build pride and self-esteem, and contribute to family income and livlihoods. Children, should not, however, participate in hazardous activities that may harm their safety, health, morals or developmental well-being.
To tackle the pressing issue of child labour in agriculture and support decent work initiatives for youth in this sector, the ILO developed a global, inter-agency advocacy team of labour and agriculture stakeholders. Since 2007, the International partnership for cooperation on child labour in agriculture (IPCCLA) has brought together the ILO, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), (formerly) the International Federation of Agricultural Producers (IFAP), and the International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers' Associations (IUF).
IPCCLA supports collaboration between labour and agriculture stakeholders to better address child labour in agriculture. Knowledge exchange and policy collaboration between labour and agriculture organization are key to ground policy and legislation on child labour to the rural economy. Collaborating with ministries of labour, ministries of agriculture, departments of fisheries and forestry, agricultural extension services, farmers' organizations and cooperatives, agricultural producer organizations and agricultural research bodies, agricultural workers unions, bring together very different areas of technical expertise and understanding of child labour issues. A multidisciplinary perspective provides innovative solutions to promote child labour elimination and decent work for adults as part of sustainable agriculture.
Specifically, the IPCCLA aims to:

Are you a small business or micro-enterprise owner? Are you interested in the health and well-being of your workers, especially young workers? Whether you are in fact a small business owner, part of an employer's organization, or are just interested in occupational safety and health promotion for young people in the workplace, a new, innovative handbook has just been published and is accessible online, free of charge. It is entitled "Growing Up Protected: A Handbook for the Protection of Adolescent Workers."
This handbook is the result of technical cooperation between International Labour Organization's (ILO) Bureau for Employer's Activities (ACT-EMP) and its International Programme for the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) and the Children Safety Association (ACHS). It was created for micro-enterprises and small businesses and seeks to raise awareness about occupational safety and health for young workers while promoting compliance with applicable labour laws.
Adolescent workers (aged 15 to 17) deserve specific attention as they often "slip through the cracks" in regards to occupational safety and health regulation and enforcement. In fact, while hazardous work of children has decreased overall, hazardous work is actually increasing among adolescent workers. Within four years (2004-2008), the number of adolescent workers aged 15 to 17 increased by 20 percent - jumping from 52 million to 62 million worldwide (ILO, 2010).
This shocking trend demands effective and targeted solutions in order to protect the health, safety and morals of our future generation. One such solution can be found in awareness raising and capacity development initiatives, such as the development of this type of handbook.
We invite you to use this handbook and to distribute it widely throughout your professional networks, particularly to micro-enterprises, small business owners, employers and producers organizations, and to anyone that may interact with adolescent workers.

Did you know that hazardous work is one of the worst forms of child labour? Sadly, more than half (53%, or 115 million) of the 215 million child labourers worldwide are caught in hazardous work. This is work that is detrimental to the health, safety and morals of developing children (ILO, 2011).
The World Day Against Child Labour 2011 brought much needed attention to this urgent issue for good reason. Hazardous work is actually increasing for children between 15 and 17 years old. Within four years, this figure increased by 20% - jumping from 52 million to 62 million (ILO, 2010). Research from industrialized countries has shown that children have higher rates of injury and death at work than adults, thus emphasizing the particular vulnerabilities that children face when exposed to occupational hazards (ILO, 2011)..
To complement the awareness raising activities of The World Day 2011, the ILO published a special report entitled: "Children in hazardous work: What we know, what we need to do."
This report reviews the current knowledge base on the hazardous work of children and presents the case for a new focus on the issue as part of the wider global effort to eliminate the worst forms of child labour. The report highlights recent global trends while summarizing the scientific evidence related to the health of working children and adolescents. The report further identifies key challenges not only in understanding the effects of hazardous work on childhood development, but also in preventing hazardous occupational exposures for children. The report features good practice approaches of various stakeholder groups that have demonstrated the potential to be scaled up and discusses the importance of an integrated policy response to the issue. For this reason, this report is valuable for all individuals interested in protecting the developmental well-being of children: from workers and employers organizations, to community activists, NGOs, national governments, human rights groups, students, and countless others.

Fishing is one of the most hazardous occupational sectors, particularly for developing children and adolescents. Worldwide, it is estimated that 132 million girls and boys work in the agriculture sector, which includes children working in fisheries and aquaculture.
This sector contains various hazardous activities. Activities can range from dock work, hauling and carrying heavy nets, maintaining vessels, cleaning and processing fish, line fishing, diving, selling fish, as well as many others. These tasks may involve long hours, extreme environmental exposures, hauling heavy loads, use of sharp tools, night work and psychosocial stressors. In addition, many children who work aboard large fishing vessels spent long periods of time away from their families and from school. Girls tend to be more often involved in post-harvest work, while boys mostly undertake work related to catching fish. Therefore, hazards may be quite different for girls and boys in this sector due to the gender division of labour.
Most experts agree that child labour in fishing is a significant problem. However, information gaps exist in terms of the best practices in addressing this pressing issue.
For this reason, the ILO and FAO have developed a draft document specifically aimed at addressing child labour in this sector, entitled: "FAO-ILO Good Practice Guide for Addressing Child Labour and Fisheries and Aquaculture: Policy and Practice." This document aims to help policy makers and government authorities tackle this growing danger for vulnerable children worldwide. The two organizations are currently seeking feedback on this document as a final version is scheduled to be published later this year.

Volunteer for NIAID-funded clinical studies related to E. coli on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Hundreds of Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains are harmless, including those that thrive in the intestinal tracts of humans and other warm-blooded animals. These strains are part of the protective microbial community in the intestine and are essential for general health. Other strains, such as E. coli serotype O157:H7, cause serious poisoning in humans, including major disease outbreaks from contaminated food and other sources affecting about 70,000 people in the United States each year. In June 2011, an outbreak of infections involving Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, STEC 0104:H4, a very rare form of E. coli, occurred among hundreds of people in Germany, including several suspected U.S. cases involving people who recently traveled to Hamburg, Germany. The most likely source of infection was identified as tainted fenugreek seeds used to grow sprouts. Because STEC E. coli infections can be spread from person-to-person, the best protection is through careful hand-washing. Read more E. coli Overview
NIAID supports the STEC Center, designed to facilitate the study of these bacteria. The Center serves as a repository for E. coli strains, characterizes the strains, and then distributes the strains to researchers for further study. Through NIAID-funded research, investigators are further defining the ways by which Shiga toxins produced by STEC result in kidney damage leading to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which can lead to kidney failure. The primary goal of this research is to better understand how kidney disease progresses and how it may be prevented. Researchers are designing and testing antibodies and other therapies to treat STEC infection, and, therefore, prevent progression to severe HUS. Further studies are exploring vaccines to prevent STEC in animals and humans. More about NIAID's Role in E. coli Research

Its innovative 'block' behind where the stirrups connect to the tree, 'set' the stirrups keeping them from swinging back behind the rider's hips, and thus no more falling forward on your horses in a run!

Beautiful setting, excellent service with well presented and delicious food. Could not find any faults. Also very good value for this standard of food.
I was here in January, February and March and it is the best restaurant in Cha Am. I like to sit inside in A/C....because the beautiful garden outside has lots of waterfetures and that means mosquitos :( The food here is divine....we have tried fish and meat, all of it delicious :) It's situated at the very south end of... More
The Raya is a nice traditional Thai building with lots of wood, big chairs, and water themes outside. The service was very good, and the food almost flawless at a reasonable price. It's a real charm in an otherwise drab restaurant situation in Cha-Am. Will definitely return.
The size of the menu might put some off but the quality of food is not to be sniffed at.... on this occasion i had the spicy prawn with lettuce leaves and this was not just tasty but delicious and then opted for the Green Curry which was flavoursome and one of the best I've tried, our group had everything...

Last night was my third visit to this lovely restaurant and once again it delivered in spades. Beautifully cooked lamb with garlic mash, soft shell crab with a chilli lime sauce, snow fish on a bed of caramelised onions, just three of the six dishes our table of five ordered of which these were the standout and will definitely be... More
hubby and son and wife had lunch here yesterday . absolutely faultless. surroundings clean. food truly superb ( I had the lamb the others asian dishes) . staff top notch and extremely attentive (perhaps a little too much but that might be because we are more used to local Thai restaurants). Menu is a huge book, beautifully photographed. Definitely one... More
My husband and I had lunch at this great restaurant on the road along the beach. Very attentive staff and excellent food. We ate outside and the gurgling water cut out the street noise. They have the best gazpacho I have ever had anywhere. I love gazpacho and make it myself and order it whenever it is on the menu.... More
I recommend this as the best Restaurant on the Cha-Am beach! The little they have of international food is very good, but the serving is very slow! It is mainly a sea-food restaurant - and the beef comes all the way from New Zealand - maybe therefore? Have been there many times - and more to come ---
Been to many places in cha am and hua hin this is up there as the best. Ok its not cheap but for a nice special meal its worth it, food great, staff great, ambience great all in all a must for anyone in the area

Well, sometimes the weather does make it difficult.
We were invited to speak to the American Coaster Enthusiasts' annual "East Coaster" event over the weekend in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
As in mid-Atlantic states. As in blizzardpalooza.
Since they were already closing airports on Friday, we quickly made a video for the enthusiasts to show during the day on Saturday.
Our weather was warmer, but still messy.
In case you missed the event (or you just want to see what we sent), here's the video:

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Shamrock Sweatshirt:
This was an exchange.I believe the original sweatshirt was a heavier one with tighter gauge weave around the wrists. But I still love it! I love seasonal sweatshirts and sweaters.

About Me Midrange shopper
I like the product, but would be a smaller size the next time. Very roomy even after washing.
By plant person
Love the sweatshirt. Bought a large as a gift and think it will be pretty big on a medium size person. Guess it runs true to size, am just use to things running small.
St. Patty's Delight!
By Cheshire Cat
from Campbell, California
The shirt is very colorful and the design is nice. The only drawback is that it needs to be washed on delicate and then it is suggested to be hung dry. I put the shirt inside-out and then in the dryer on the delicate cycle. It did fine. I prefer sweatshirts that I can toss in the washer and dryer and that's it!
Soft, darling sweatshirt
By Penny the Angel
from Arlington Hts., Il
Super cute sweatshirt to go out and have a few beers & alittle Corned Beef and Cabbage on St. Patty's day.

We stayed here in October so this is a very late review but wanted to add one note.

Hope he stays and others discover this... More
