THURSDAY, Dec. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Children and adolescents with HIV have a significantly increased intima-media thickness (IMT), according to a study presented at the European Society of Cardiology's EUROECHO & other Imaging Modalities 2012, held from Dec. 5 to 8 in Athens, Greece.
Talia Sainz Costa, M.D., from the University General Hospital Gregorio Maranon in Madrid, Spain, and colleagues used echocardiography to evaluate carotid IMT in 150 HIV-infected pediatric and adolescent patients and 150 controls. Anthropometric and lipid measures were recorded.
The researchers found that IMT was significantly thicker in HIV patients compared with control subjects (0.434 versus 0.424; P = 0.018). HIV was independently associated with thicker IMT (odds ratio, 2.68) after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, and smoking status. In subgroup analysis of 34 patients with HIV and 11 controls for whom immune activation markers were determined, frequencies of activated T CD4+ cells were significantly higher among HIV infected patients. Compared to patients with undetectable viral loads or control subjects, treated and viremic patients had the highest frequency of CD4+ and CD8+ activation and senescence.
"HIV research is investigating ways to control the inflammation and immune activation with agents such as probiotics, aspirin, and corticoids. In the meantime clinicians need to focus on ensuring their young patients with HIV take the antiretroviral treatment, take lipid lowering drugs when necessary, and adopt healthier lifestyles," Sainz Costa said in a statement.

For many entrepreneurs, it is a dream on par with finding the Holy Grail: an initial public stock offering that can turn a startup into the next Google and a 20-something founder into the next mega-millionaire.
Yet, for all that money and drama, do initial public offerings — IPOs — speed up technological innovation?
Not necessarily. An eye-popping new study by Shai Bernstein, an assistant professor of finance at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, finds that innovation slowed down by about 40 percent at tech companies after they went public.
In a meticulous analysis of patent data from nearly 2,000 companies, Bernstein found that newly public companies became noticeably more incremental and less ambitious with their in-house research than comparable firms that stayed private.
And that's not all. Top inventors were much more likely to leave if their companies went public, and the ones who stayed behind showed a steep decline in "innovation quality." Indeed, the newly public tech companies became much more dependent on buying technology from outside — usually by making corporate acquisitions.
That's almost the opposite of what one might expect. Young tech firms go public on the strength of their innovative promise, and going public provides them with cash to double down on their research and development.
From the vantage point of public policy, IPOs may still be a net positive for tech innovation. Many companies go public because they have just scored a major breakthrough and use their new resources to scale up the business. And even if newly public companies do become less daring, they can still propel innovation indirectly by paying top dollar for startups. Google has bought 100 companies since it went public in 2004. Facebook paid $1 billion for Instagram just as it was going public in May 2012.
But Bernstein's findings raise an important, but largely unexplored, management issue: IPOs appear to spur the outsourcing of innovation. It is a complex tradeoff, and one that tech entrepreneurs and investors may want to examine in more depth.
Bernstein reached that conclusion after a detailed comparison of patent data between companies that went public and similar companies that decided to stay private. All told, the study covered thousands of tech companies that either went public or withdrew IPO plans between 1985 and 2003.
To gauge "innovation," Bernstein collected data on nearly 40,000 patents awarded to companies both before and after they announced plans to go public. In addition to tracking the absolute number of patents, he estimated the innovative importance of each patent based on the number of times it had been cited in other patent applications.
The basic idea is straightforward: Patents that are cited more frequently are likely to represent more fundamental breakthroughs. But Bernstein also estimated the "originality" of patents, based on how many different technologies were cited. Last, but not least, he analyzed data about the inventors themselves.
Bernstein compared two categories of companies: those that completed public offerings and those that filed IPO registrations with the Securities and Exchange Commission but later withdrew them. To make apple-to-apple comparisons, he compared companies that were in the same technology sectors and that contemplated public offerings in the same year.
He found that the two groups of companies had broadly similar characteristics up to the point they decided to go public or stay private. Both groups had high-quality patents that were much more heavily cited than those of companies that didn't try to go public. The two groups were also similar in size, age, and research spending. And there were no significant differences in the quality of the IPO underwriters, which is often a proxy for the quality of the companies.
Not surprisingly, the biggest distinction between the companies that went public and those that stayed private was the stock market's appetite at the time. If the tech-heavy NASDAQ went into a swoon just after a company filed to go public, the company was much more likely to call off its plans. Almost one third of all the abandoned IPOs between 1985 and 2003 occurred in 2000 — the year the dot-com bubble collapsed.
The real difference in innovation came after companies completed public offerings. The average quality of those patents, as measured by how often they were cited, declined by about 40 percent in the five years after going public. By contrast, companies that remained private stayed on the same track as before.
Bernstein also confirmed what even blockbuster companies in Silicon Valley have worried about for years: IPOs can spark a brain drain.
He divided inventors into three categories: "stayers," "leavers," and "newcomers." Inventors were about 18 percent more likely to become leavers at companies that went public. Much more startling, however, was that the stayers saw a 48 percent decline in the quality of their patents. Inevitably, IPO firms recruited large numbers of newcomers.
One explanation for the brain drain is that top inventors have little incentive to stay after an IPO, in part because they often become overnight millionaires. An IPO also dilutes an inventor's stake in subsequent breakthroughs because those future profits will be spread among many more investors.
Bernstein suggests that yet another important reason for the brain drain is that IPOs lead to different management incentives. Executives at publicly held companies may become more cautious, for example, because they are subject to market pressures and worry more about career threats and takeovers, and feel pressure to tell investors a simple story.
To find out more, Bernstein compared companies with two different management structures. In the first group, chief executives were also chairmen of the board and had more autonomy to resist market pressures. The second group had separate chairmen and chief executives, which usually means the chief executive is less insulated from market pressure.
The result: Companies with separate board chairs and chief executives — those more likely to be sensitive to outside investors — saw a much bigger drop in innovation, and inventors were more likely to leave.
Bernstein cautions that initial public stock offerings still may be good for innovation in general. Public companies may not be as technologically ambitious or as willing to take risks as firms that stay private, but public companies have better access to capital for tapping innovation generated by smaller companies.
But going public clearly changes the mindset of companies, and that might be a reason for some companies to think twice about the Holy Grail.

I made this plush mostly to help clear out some of my fleece scraps, but also because it seemed like something really simple that would make a huge impact, and I don't think I was wrong :D I just love the huge menacing grin on this guy! If there are fans of the Super Mario games out there, you might recognize this as one of the minor enemies you defeat in your adventures. It was a lot of fun seeing him come together, and even more fun getting to swing him around when he's done :3
Store Update – Purple & Yellow Plushies!
Hello again everyone!
My Etsy store got another update today ^-^ As promised, this time around is a group of purple and yellow plushies. There are a lot of rehashes of previous characters, but a few new creatures managed to sneak in too :D
Like with other updates there are some narwhals and octopi in yellow and purple as well as another little robot in a butter yellow. There are also more punk bunnies in purple now with matching Union Jack details on their ears. A new character I'm happy to show off is a little violet-colored ninja bunny! Not only does she have a little shuriken in her hand, but a katana on her back as well – blinged out with beads, decoden style! I had made a group of girly ninjas like this in amigurumi form before, so I was so glad to get to create it in minky plush form as well :D
And lastly is the batch of Puff Monsters ^-^ This will probably be the last batch of Puff Monsters you'll see, so if one of them has caught your eye, be sure to snatch him/her up before they're all gone! There's an annoyed puff with his caffeine fix, a little witch puff complete with broom, and another dapper puff with a fluffy mustache. I think he might be my favorite so far – just love that little bowler hat x3 Just remember from here on out I'll just be doing original designs. It was a ton of fun getting to collaborate with Bianca Roman-Stumpff ^0^ And I'll see if making more in the future is in the cards based on how her fans react.
As for what's next, you can expect to see a collection in the red spectrum – everything from burgundy to fuchsia to hot pink. I'm actually moving in a week or so — not far, just a few towns north — so you might see my Etsy store go on a short vacation, but if all goes according to plan I shouldn't be held up too badly. See you then!
Freebie Friday! Yoshi Egg Potholders
Putting together this project was kind of a lucky break for me :D At my house we're in desperate need of some more potholders, particularly because I do a lot of baking and cooking and somehow the ones I have always end up disappearing! I had some extra scraps of terry cloth and seeing the colors I had to choose from – white and pastel shades of pink, blue, and green – the boyfriend commented on how much they looked like Yoshi eggs, so it was an easy choice from there! They're essentially dinosaur eggs, so if you're not familiar with Yoshi you can just think of them like that ^-^ The egg shape makes it ideal for giving your hand a nice wide area to grip the potholder with, and the pocket on the back is helpful for keeping it on your hand. I know most potholder patterns include a loop for hanging, but I never use those so I kept them off of mine. I hope you agree that the finished egg looks just like it came out of the Mario games :D
New Freebie for November!
Hello everyone out there! A lot's happened in October ^0^ I'm sure you've seen I've been working through my stash of minky fabrics and making loads of plushies. I'm working color by color, so I've got a group of green, orange, and blue creations so far, and the next time I update you all should see a family of yellow and purple softies :D
Now that it's November, it means the 2014 Monthly Crafting Challenge is almost about to come to a close :< It's been a great year with soo many wonderful submissions. Just like last year I saved my favorite pattern for last, and I'm starting to plan things out for 2015! I have some ideas myself, but if you have a theme you want to throw out there I'd love to hear it in the comments!
But anyway, onto the fun stuff! The free pattern for this month is this little Dorayaki plush!
Dorayaki are another kind of Japanese confection, it's two pancake-like patties made from castellan with red bean paste in the middle. They're also the favorite food of a classic kid's cartoon character named Doraemon x3 I've had these once at a little Japanese wagashi shop when I went on vacation in Manhattan. They were very tasty and I can't wait to try other sweets like them. Even if you aren't crazy about the traditional look yourself, this pattern would be perfect for any kind of sandwich-like food. Ice cream sandwiches, Oreos, jam filled cookies, you name it! Just swap out the colors and maybe add some beads for sprinkles or chocolate chips ^-^
You can get the pattern for this plush by signing up for email updates (found in the submission box on the right side of the page below the search bar). If you have trouble signing up, you can check out more info at the main Monthly Crafting Challenge page, the FAQ, or by emailing me. Also, bonus! for today only I'm offering both this pattern and the one from October when you sign up. After today though, the prize is just this guy :) Though you can also purchase the older pattern through my Etsy if you're too late.
If you've already signed up for emails, that's where the challenge comes in. You can get this pattern if you make one of the projects from this blog, my books, or my Etsy then email me or message the finished project to my Facebook where I have a really awesome collection going of your creations! Keep it up every month and you'll get a new free pattern, so don't forget to check back during December to see the last pattern for the year!
Store Update – Blue Plushies!
Hello all and happy Halloween!
I'm back with yet another update :D As I mentioned, this time I worked on some blue plushies in a lot of the same designs as before but with a few new characters thrown in.
As before, we've got narwhals, an octopus, and the punk bunnies have made a triumphant return! I used up lots of scraps of blue plaid to make this batch, and for the shades of blue where I didn't have matching plaid, I made ragged-edged Union Jack stripes going through their ears instead. As always, they have that renegade angry face with skull bunny tattoos on the backs of their ears x3
In the Puff Monster camp I've got 5 new creations this time, so I tried out some of Bianca Roman-Stumpff's designs that I've been itching to implement. Namely, we've got a very angry puff, a dapper puff, a puff with cat-eye glasses named Tiger Lily (I'm sure you won't have to wonder which one that one is), and a very special puff that has a jetpack! Check out the one with the purple eyes and backpack straps, you'll see she has a rocket pack strapped on, complete with flames and ready for adventure x3
And lastly I have some newcomers! A squadron of robot plushies, complete with little audio receptors (ears) and radio wave receptors (antennae) :B Each one has little claw arms and some little motif on the front – either a star or a pixilated heart. Like the punk bunnies, they also have poly beads in their bottom to help them sit on their own. These were some of my favorites to make, so I hope you enjoy all the variations!
I'm back to work then! If nothing slows me down, the next update should be a collection of yellow and purple plushies ^0^ See you then!
Freebie Friday! Kitty Purse
This project came about because I realized I needed a purse that was a little more suitable for professional occasions, so I thought I would try making up a cute pattern that was also a little subtle. I'm not quite sure if I got exactly to that mix of professional with subtle cute, but it was fun trying nonetheless! Instead I think I ended up with a purse that's just a bit subtle; maybe good for walking about town without grabbing too much attention. I used some extra corduroy to make this particular purse, and I think the dark reddish brown does a good job of looking stylish without being too over the top.
For this particular project I tried out a lot of new interfacing to see how it stacks up for stabilizing thin corduroy. You could leave it out as you prefer, of course, but I think it did the Pellon 50 I used did a good job of making thin corduroy into something more substantial. The lining includes several side pockets as well as a hidden zippered pocket. I ran out of strap adjusters by this point, so I tried out using a buckle instead. A little unorthodox, but I think I like it! Maybe you will too :D
Store Update – Olive & Orange Plushies!
Hi everyone!
I'm back with another store update and lots more plushies! As promised, this round I used up the last of my green fabrics — particularly olive green — with some orange and mango thrown in.
In the olive camp we have some more Cthulhu plushies as well as one of my more popular characters, the Zombunny :B The huggable plush version has poor bitten ears and skull bunny markings while the pillow version has stitches all over. Both have that deadpan glare that always makes me laugh.
Next up are the orange versions of the narwhal and octopus plushies from last update as well as a new little fox character. Not doing a fox when I had orange fabric just seems like a waste x3 The other color I had was more of a yellow-orange, kind of mango color, so that got slipped in as well as this "golden" fox variation.
Lastly is a new group of Puff Monsters a la Bianca Roman-Stumpff. The last batch went over well with her fans, so I made more to see what they think!
Another group of items I have up are these one-of-a-kind bunny hoodies. A while back I accidentally ordered the wrong kind of fleece online and got sweatshirt fleece instead. Instead of returning it, I thought I would use it to experiment with some new hoodie ideas. My extra-long bunny ear hoodies have proven to be popular in the past, so I took that plan and ran with it, making each hoodie a very particular style. The white gives off a bit of a mod/Lolita vibe, brown is more steampunk, black is a full-on biker jacket, and the red is more of a sleek moto jacket. Unfortunately because these were experiments I was only able to make them in one size – kind of a small/medium. But I had so much fun getting to try out new styles!

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- Cape Coral property owners have until close of business on Thursday, September 4 to pay their FY 2014 fire services assessment.
The City mailed the bills to all property owners earlier this year. Any unpaid assessments will be added to the FY 2015 property tax bill for collection.
There is also a special city council meeting and public hearing tonight to discuss next year's fee as part of the budget. The city says the estimated fire protection assessed cost for fiscal year 2014-2015 is about $20 million. Tonight's meeting is the first of two public hearings on the budget.
The city has already collected about $10 million this year, but that money is sitting untouched in a separate account right now. The issue is tied up in the state Supreme Court because some don't believe the fee is legal. The city won't spend any of your money until that case is resolved.
Cape Coral has also added the fire assessment fee to its hardship program for people who can't afford to pay.

Mark Dvorak featured in Concert Conversations April 24
Staff Report
Snapshotmusic hosts Mark Dvorak, a modern-day troubadour who has never stopped performing, writing and recording. He has been called folk singer's folk singer who has an encyclopedic knowledge of traditional songs. See him at 6 p.m., Tuesday, April 24, at Emerson House, 420 N. Main St., Rockford.
Since 1981, Dvorak has performed in most of the United States, and has visited several countries in Europe. Though he often appears on festival stages and in theaters, he is also at home in more intimate settings. His concerts are a mix of the familiar and the new, traditional folk and standards from the American songbook. He plays authentic country blues guitar and picks great old-time banjo. He enjoys involving his audiences in sing-along songs, just like The Weavers used to do, and he mixes in his own well-crafted and often poignant originals.
His roots are in Chicago, but for more than 25 years, he has been crisscrossing the country, performing, teaching and learning all the while. He's visited big cities and little towns, bonding with audiences wherever he goes. Dvorak continues to be an integral member of the faculty at Chicago's venerable Old Town School of Folk Music. When he's not on the road, you can find him there, teaching, jamming with students and passersby, or just hanging out.
Since 1986, thousands of music students have passed through his classes. He has helped many a beginner get through their first chords and strums, and has hosted a catalogue of master classes and workshops on a range of subjects from old-time banjo picking to the legacy of the great Lead Belly, to many other topics related to the study of the American folk song.
Admission is $10. Seating is limited to the first 80 people who arrive. For more information, call (815) 964-2238 or visit www.Snapshotmusic.com.

Doors were a heavy burden on temple members
Date: August 12, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Temple Beth Israel members have been plagued by too heavy doors for some time, but the problem was fixed two weeks ago.
The temple has member Nate Benderson to thank for the buttons both inside and outside that, when pushed, automatically open and close the doors. This allows for a virtually hands-free way to enter the temple.
The new system has been well-received, according to Temple Beth Israel Rabbi Jonathan Katz. Now, temple members have one less reason to be hesitant about coming to services, Katz jokes.

In Uganda, Sono Aibe notes a shift in the attitude toward family planning.
Focus Area: Contraception & Family Planning
In Uganda, Sono Aibe notes a shift in the attitude toward family planning.
Pathfinder's Activity Cards got Ugandan adolescents thinking about gender, sexual and reproductive health, alcohol, and other issues they face at this time in their life using discussion and debate so they could formulate their own conclusions.
Mathew Joseph, Pathfinder's Country Representative in India, responds to news of botched government sterilizations.
Sono Aibe reports from Tanzania, where an annual project review meeting shows just how far communities have come in protecting their resources - and their futures.
Addressing the sexual and reproductive health of mothers younger than 25 and their partners, referred to as first-time parents, is an integral part of meeting global health goals—curbing the unmet need for contraception, addressing high rates of unintended pregnancy and perinatal mortality—and applying a rights-based approach to delivery of sexual and reproductive health services.
On International Day of the Girl, Purnima Mane advocates for ending the cycle of violence, giving adolescent girls a chance to be girls -- letting millions of Malalas grow up fearlessly
Mustafa Kudrati shared his experience in Tanzania alongside Pathfinder colleagues Tanou Diallo from Haiti and Farouk Jega from Nigeria at the Sept. 24 event "mHealth + mMoney: Harnessing the power of mobile technology and mobile money for improved health outcomes."
A panel gathered on Sept. 26 for "Putting Policy into Practice: Multisectoral Approaches to Prevention of Gender-Based Violence."
Rita Badiani, Pathfinder International's Country Representative in Mozambique, joined a panel discussion at the Wilson Center on investing in youth sexual and reproductive health.
In Arabic, forsa means opportunity. True to its name, the U.S. Agency for International Development-funded Fostering Opportunities in Rural Southern Areas (FORSA) project was dedicated to providing opportunities to young women in Upper Egypt's impoverished and underserved governorates of Souhag and Assiut.
None of us can afford to pass our torch. If anything we need to use our collective torches to reignite our movement—only then will we make progress in carrying forward our vision and our call for the protection and promotion of all human rights, including sexual and reproductive health and rights. Join us in the fight!
Faten, a mother of five - and a widow - living in Egypt, used a women's empowerment workshop to restart her life, and start her own business.
We are pleased to share a roundtable discussion with four of our technical advisors exploring Pathfinder's work in implementation science.
Women impacted by Pathfinder's FORSA project share their story. FORSA was dedicated to providing opportunities to young women in Upper Egypt's two most impoverished and underserved governorates: Souhag and Assiut.
If we cannot bring these women to clinics that welcome them with the same bright colors they themselves bring, it seems to me that we are giving them bread without the roses.
Steve Redding, Pathfinder's Vice President for Country and Regional Operations, reports back on the launch of our new Gates-funded project in Niger.
Last year, on World Population Day, many of us talked about the fact that we had crossed the seven billion mark in terms of global population. While this number is high, I urge us not to lose sight of the fact that each country is faced with its own unique set of population challenges and opportunities.
Longtime Pathfinder supporter Bonnie New shares how one trip to India showed her just how different the level of care can be in rural areas of the world.
I was stationed at the front door of Naypyitaw's Mingalar Thiri Hotel, awaiting his arrival. Day one of Myanmar's Family Planning Best Practices Conference, and we were expecting H.E. Minister of Health Dr. Pe Thet Khin any minute.

Freeport citizens' mission to save their 113-year old City Hall building continued tonight and it may not be long until it becomes historically preserved.
Residents packed the Freeport Public Library to learn what options their community has to save the old city hall building. Members of Illinois's historic Preservation agency say the building is eligible to be listed on the state's historical registry and the community should look at the building as an asset to invest in, helping preserve the downtown district.
"We think this is a building that can last for centuries and it's already proven that it can last a century. There's no question it can last longer than that but it's going to take time and money in that investment to make that happen", says Manager of Illinois Preservation Services, Mike Jackson.
If preserved, it would take approximately nine months to rehabilitate City Hall.

Voices, faces, echoes, ideas, stuff, & a little of the way things were – 35 years ago this month!
And a double-page spread used here as two different ads:
Satin Sheen, a perennial Outside Back Cover image – AND my favorite: the beautiful young lady with the swan-like neck? Or the one with the dimples? Or could it have been the product?
THE young ladies and the product. Check out the price, too!
And, perhaps Nigeria's most popular ad of the 1970s & 80s, Joy Girl!
This posting appeared on May 2nd as -
Nigerian women & the 2015 elections: Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti in a view from the past & other stories [Emotan, The Mag.].
With that title, I believe my mailing list saw it otherwise and so perhaps missed some of the interesting subjects here. I'll leave it on and then re-send it to those on the list at the end of the month. Generally, most of those who will check it out will be those who just happens on the blog or those who visit often without getting on the mailing list. Pardon, therefore, if you've read it after the first posting.

There to help veterans for the past 90 years
Last updated at 14:33, Wednesday, 02 November 2011
THE Royal British Legion has been providing help and assistance to the ex-service community for 90 years.
On Friday the Ulverston branch, based in Brogden Street, joins the celebrations by hosting an Albert Hall-style Festival of Remembrance.
There will be a muster of legion and military standards and music from Voce and the combined instruments of Ulverston Town Band and the Army Cadet Force Band.
The show starts at 7.30pm in Ulverston Coronation Hall and tickets can be booked through the box office.
As part of the legion's 90th anniversary celebrations the Memories Page will be taking a closer look at the formation of legion branches in this area on Saturday November 12.
Today we look at the history behind the national formation of the Royal BritishLegion.
The First World War had involved quite unprecedented numbers of young men and women – leaving hundreds of thousands of them with lasting ailments of the body or mind.
In the recession which immediately followed the end of the conflict in 1918 there was a vast number of ex-soldiers without work and war widows struggled to feed and clothe their children.
These people needed someone to fight their corner and a number of organisations were set up.
They included the National Union of Ex-servicemen and The Comrades of the Great War.
A group called The National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers appealed for donations and set up soup kitchens and hostels in empty drill halls for homeless ex-servicemen.
The various groups gradually came together in August 1920 with the figurehead of Field Marshall Earl Haig.
They decided on British Legion as a name and on May 14 in 1921 its constitution was approved with Earl Haig as president.
In 1951 the name changed to Royal British Legion.
Its most famous fund-raising scheme – the Poppy Appeal – was born from a poem by Canadian medical officer Colonel John McCrae.
It noted: "In Flanders Fields the poppies blow;
"Between the crosses, row on row."
The poem prompted American YMCA worker Moina Michael to wear a poppy in honour of those who had died in the war.
Frenchwoman Anne Guerin made some artificial poppies which she sold to help ex-servicemen and persuaded the British Legion to do the same.
The first official British Legion Poppy Day was on November 11 in 1921.
It raised £106,000

Unfortunately, finding examples of search results that are not ideal is not all that uncommon. To help track these poor search results, Rishabh Singla started a new blog named Failed SERPs. He posts daily screen shots of examples of how the search results are a failure.
For example, Google returns ten search results but all of them are from YouTube. Another example, the searcher looks for a documentary named The Lost Day and Google finds the missing day instead.
Those are two of many examples and the blogger promises to keep up his work posting examples of failed search results.
Have you recently seen failed search results on Google or Bing? If so, what were they?

Driver in Route 63 crash injured but not yet named
Staff Report
BARRE TOWN Citing concern that all family members may not have been notified, Barre Town police would not identify a driver who was critically injured in a Wednesday afternoon accident at the intersection of Route 63 and Miller Road Extension.
Barre Town police have been in regular contact with the mans immediate family and said Thursday afternoon he was in intensive care at a hospital they did not name. But officials were not prepared to release his identity more than 24 hours after the car he was driving collided with a dump truck in a fiery accident that destroyed both vehicles.
Barre Town police did identify the driver of the dump truck, which was loaded with stone and heading up Route 63 toward Interstate 89 shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday.
Police said the truck Dan Cheney was driving belonged to his family-owned company and burst into flames in the collision that closed Route 63 and interstate Exit 6 for four hours. Barre Town police did not provide an age or address for Cheney, who they said was not physically hurt. The accident remains under investigation.
Police said inspectors for the state Department of Motor Vehicles found nothing mechanically wrong with the remnants of the dump truck and that witnesses interviewed so far indicated the Toyota Avalon driven by the hospitalized man pulled off Miller Road Extension and into the path of the dump truck.
The cars driver was at least initially taken by Barre Town ambulance to Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, police said. There were no passengers in either of the vehicles, they said.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The mid-November deadline has passed and the resumes are all in, but the number of...

TT & road races
13 May 2014 14:12
British Superbike veteran and thirteen time North West 200 race winner Michael Rutter has put his Bathams Ale BMW on provisional pole for the superbike races at this weekend's event, out-qulifying local star Alastair Seeley by a second and a half.
Bathed in beautiful sunshine, Rutter was able to complete eight laps of the nine mile circuit in the 45 minute long session to take the lead with a 4:26.643 lap and averaging over 121mph, despite running a stock motor in his S1000RR.
"The bike's going really good! It's not been so bad for us, because we've been able to come straight from Oulton Park BSB and not have to touch a thing for here on it. We were a little worried about the speed, but it seemed as quick as anything else out there - at least anything I saw. It's only a standard engine - it hasn't even been out of the frame yet!"
Seeley was a further 0.7 ahead of Tyco Suzuki's Guy Martin to complete the front row, while his teammate William Dunlop headed a second row of BSB stars Martin Jessop and Josh Brookes. Bruce Anstey was seventh, with Michael Dunlop eighth on his first run on the factory BMW at an international road race.
TT legend John McGuinness was eleventh on the Honda Racing Fireblade, admitting afterwards that he was still returning to full pace after a broken scaphoid only weeks ago.

has been a great racer, like his father before him, for many years, but he really shines when it comes to road racing, what a pace with a stock motor.

Guy Martin
It could well be his year. John McGuinness injured and probably not up to winning anyway. I can't also see Michael Dunlop winning on the BMW.
Most popular winner ever, if he can do it.

First ride on the BMW
seems to have gone okay for Michael, i think we should be in for a good race. Hopefully Martin will get a win, and set his TT campaign up nicely! Got a good feeling about Guy Martin this year.
13 May 2014 16:01
Go Michael. Bathams is the best looking bike on the grid. Still want Guy to win but great to see such a competitive field all desperate for the chequered flag. Will be a great race.

Anonymous-tied hacktivist faces prison for sharing link
international | rights and freedoms | other press Tuesday December 11, 2012 00:47 by Elric
I really am shocked at this, not because they are harassing him, not because they want to imprison him. I'm shocked because Barrett Brown is facing decades in prison for copying a hyper-link. Link Barrett accused of sharing was also posted on Cryptome + several blogs. Will these websites be indicted for transferring link too? UK journalist Ryan Gallagher asked on Twitter over the weekend Full text at link.
On top of his previous charges, Brown now faces decades of additional prison time if convicted on the newest crimes, including one count of traffic in stolen authentication features, one count of access device fraud and 10 counts of identity theft.
Comments (1 of 1)
by anon Tue Dec 11, 2012 22:52
This is very sinister indeed. If they can convict over adding a link then by implication there is no right to free speech at all and they can basically charge anyone who even discusses this stuff. This is a very bad omen.

November 23, 2014
Those of you heading to the Ironton Memorial Day Parade will find hazy sunshine and warm conditions for the 10AM start. Temperatures will be in the lower-70s as the parade begins but will quickly soar to the 80s by noon. There is only a slight chance for an isolated shower to try to make an appearance. This is just on general meteorological purposes since it'll be humid and warm.
The same can be said for events in Ashland (which begin at 1pm)...you'll just have to add on a few degrees due to daytime heating.
No matter where you are this Memorial Day holiday, remember to protect your skin from the sun's rays, keep plenty of water around to hydrate you and your family, and keep your fingers crossed that the isolated showers that may pop-up will miss whatever outdoor activity you have planned.

Ameriqual Foods APack MRE Reviews
Ameriqual is the largest civilian provider of mres out of the three companies that produce MREs under contract for the U.S. military. While concentrating for years on providing the military with the best mre available, they finally decided to enter the civilian MRE market in 2006 with a meals ready to eat name brand: "APack Ready Meals". Furthermore, the civilian brand of the military meals ready to eat sold by Ameriqual do not contain chemicals and perservatives that are used in some other brands to extend the shelf life. This is very important for your health.
Because these civilian MRE meals are produced by the same manufacturer that produces the military's MREs you can be assured that you are getting a superior product. They are 100% self-contained, individually packaged in aluminum-lined polyethylene, and will store for a minimum of five years and a maximum of ten years under proper temperature conditions. Ameriqual foods A Pack Mres that are designed for the civilian market are almost exactly the same as the military mres for sale and where differences occur they are actually a bonus.
Although the military grade mre packs come with a stick of chewing gum and a hot salsa packet while the civilian versions do not, the food items of the Ameriqual Mre APacks designed for the civilian market are identical to what is inside the official military MREs and the only exception is the beverage mix which is added as a bonus to the civilian mre Apacks. The spoon included with the civilian ready to eat meals is a little different than the military MRE spoon since it is shorter and a little wider. Those who want to finish their meal faster are thus catered to with this additional bonus of a larger spoon.
Ameriqual Foods has eliminated the inclusion of a separate accessory pack along with each civilian APack and instead the spoon, moist towelette, pepper, and drink mix are included along with each apack mre. Because Ameriqual does not include a napkin in their package of ready to eat meals, you will need to have a package of napkins along if you want extra clean up options besides the moist towelette that you get. Some people like to hold their hot mre using a napkin so be sure and have those along with your supplies if you feel you will need it.
Ameriqual Foods is the only MRE manufacturer which has taken precautionary measures to protect the buyers of their mres from hazardous materials by inventing the salt water activated Flameless Ration Heater (FRH) which looks exactly like the riskier water activated military version on the outside. Because the standard FRH can be activated by regular water, it is considered to be a hazardous material. The activation by salt water only protects the activation of the heater by rainfall or by flood. Ameriqual is the only one who has protected the consumer in this way and they include a packet of salt water in each MRE package for activation of the heater when you choose to do so.
It is best to purchase them by the case and a case of APacks comes with 12 individual meals. There are usually six different menus in each case so you get two of each menu. The menus from Ameriqual appear to be established for now so every case should contain the same menus. Here are the six main entrees: beef stew; spaghetti with meat sauce; chicken and noodles with vegetables; chicken tetrazzini; pasta with vegetables and tomato sauce; and chicken with black beans and rice. Eating the same meal twice is not exactly taking up your cross and suffering and there is only one manufacturer of mres that offer twelve different meals but they have not been given as many positive reviews as Ameriqual and Sopakco have been given.
Here is some feedback about the Ameriqual mre from satisfied customers. Ian says: "As ex-military I can tell you that [these] MREs are much better than what we ate. This food is second only to home cooking." Another person bought all the several brands of mres and had all three members of his family taste each entrée and rate it on a four point scale: Check plus - very good, Check - acceptable to good, Check minus - I'd eat it, and X - I'd rather starve. He also had everyone rate the general quality of the MRE on the same scale. This includes the raw amount of food, the overall quality of the side dishes (if any) and the sides, and the overall taste of the sides and snacks. After eating MREs for the entire New Year's three day weekend the Ameriqual mre tied for first place with the Sopakco mre.
If you are not going to be purchasing these mres for just camping, hunting, or hiking and you want to purchase them for survival purposes then you want to be aware of the fact that during a multi-week disaster situation you will need to eat a variety of foods to avoid "menu fatigue" - you don't want to get so tired of eating the same thing over and over to the point that you just don't want to eat anything. Thus it's a good idea to include multiple types of entrees in your disaster storage for variety. You also need to remember that the U.S. government has stated that a person shouldn't eat MREs for more then 20 days at the time. Enter freeze-dried foods to the rescue.
So if you're planning to store more than three weeks worth of food you will want to include some freeze dried foods in addition to a variety of Ameriqual mre. You will also need some multi vitamins as well. Among the brands of freeze-dried food (which lasts up to 25 years) this writer found the highest reviews and recommendations were for the AlpineAire and especially the Mountain House freeze dried food. These brands get four and five star ratings pretty consistently by people who have actually eaten these freeze dry food brands. So when buying Sopakco or Ameriqual mre ready to eat meals, be sure and also purchase freeze-dried food packets which keep longer than mres and take less space than the mres. You need all of these for a well rounded survival plan and to avoid menu monotony and food diet fatigue.
