The Patriot Defender is available for 04-present XL883 & XL1200 models in your choice of polished stainless with chrome heat shields, black ceramic coated stainless with black
heat shields, or black ceramic coated stainless with chrome heat shields. It fits with forward or mid controls.
Torque Hammer - From $995
Straight from our friends in the Netherlands, the TORQUE HAMMER pipe from Twin Motorcycles is a very unique pipe for your Sportster that performs superbly. We put this pipe through the paces on our shop mule 2007 XL 883 and were astonded by the results: the little 883 pulled only 46hp stock and jumped to almost 60hp with the addition of a Torque Hammer pipe, Air Hammer Air Cleaner, and TTS Mastertune. Then we ported the 883 heads and added a 1250 kit and Impact 560 cams and broke 100 horsepower at the back wheel! Click the thumbnails below to see these most impressive dyno results.
The Torque Hammer pipe is available for XR1200 or 2004-up XL883/XL1200 models. It is constructed of stainless steel and is available in your choice of polished or black ceramic finished. The baffle is removable and the dyno sheets above were done with the baffle in place. We found that removing the baffle flattened the torque curve but made slightly less horsepower on the very top. The XL version works with forward or mid controls and also passenger footrests and saddlebags. All versions come with a TTS Mastertune calibration (TTS Mastertune sold separately) and carry a full 3 year warranty. Note: the polished version will have a chrome like appearance when new but will gradually turn a golden color, this is normal for a stainless pipe.
Samson Powerflow III Caliber - $599.95
Samson has always been a favorite of ours simply because they are focused on performance as much as looks and sound. We've had numerous customers achieve terrific results with their Caliber series of pipes. The Powerflow III is the third generation of these pipes and the most powerful yet. Click below to see dyno results from this very impressive pipe on both a stock 883 and after typical mods. This pipe really performs!
The Powerflow III is available for 04-present XL883 & XL1200 models in your choice of chrome or black, and is one of the more reasonably priced premium 2 into 1 systems on the market. It fits with forward or mid controls.

WASHINGTON,D.C. (NEWS CENTER)-- U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and Consumer Product Safety Commission investigators have seized more than 200,000 toy dolls arriving from China due to high levels of phthalates, a group of banned chemical compounds.
PHOTOS:CBP toy doll seizure
Officials seized a total of 10 shipments valued at nearly $500,000 at the ports of Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Norfolk, Va., Memphis, Tenn., Newark, N.J., Portland, Ore., and Savannah, Ga.
The Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center targeted the shipments beginning in April because of the potential that the products presented a safety threat to the American public, particularly children, and contained items prohibited in the U.S. Although dispersed across the county, officials flagged the shipments as high risk after CTAC identified key commonalities in the hazardous products.

* district play
In high school football, there are few certainties.
Unless, of course, you're talking about the Wylie football program.
In that case, there are a couple of things that can be said with almost absolute certainty every season.
One of those time-tested truths: The Bulldogs will lose a staggering number of seniors every year.
The other: 23rd-year head coach Hugh Sandifer will have another mammoth senior class, ready to replace the production lost from the group before.
After losing 39 seniors from last year's team - a number that would send most programs into a rebuilding season - this year should be no different for Wylie.
The Bulldogs have 30 fourth-year players this year, poised to uphold Wylie's tradition of success and continue a 14-year playoff streak.
"We lost a lot of good players and a lot of good leadership, so replacing that both playing-wise and leadership-wise will be key," Sandifer said. "We've been fortunate that we have a program going and these seniors understand it's their turn.
"They've worked since junior high to put themselves in a position to be the senior leaders on these teams, and we've never had a group fail us yet."
While the past suggests the Wylie seniors will pick up where last year's group left off, those 30 players will face a number of challenges in 2008.
One big challenge is the Bulldogs return just four starters (three on offense) from a team that finished 11-3 last year after losing to Gilmer 28-21 in the closing minutes of a Class 3A Division I state semifinal game.
The Bulldogs will groom a new quarterback and throwing a green defense at a slate of teams that combined to go 96-29 last year. So pundits around Texas are already predicting a letdown.
Players who have been in Sandifer's program for any length of time, such as standout linebacker Jesse Jennings, have learned to ignore those predictions.
"There are a lot of young guys who have been working hard all summer, and we've been working with a bunch of them," said Jennings, who was the District 7-3A co-defensive MVP last year. "I think we're going to have a really good team this year."
Several questions will have to be answered first - such as who will replace Jared Wallace at quarterback?
Through the spring and fall camp, seniors Jackson Minor and Clay Vaughn and junior Matt Preston split time equally under center. All three players have demonstrated the ability to throw and run. But the one or ones who will play from Aug. 29 on not been decided.
"I think one will emerge, but we need all three of them to emerge really," Sandifer said. "We need it where they can all step in and play. You never know what the situation may be, but you need to have quality depth."
Whoever is called upon to play quarterback will get help from two experienced running backs and a couple of quality receivers.
Senior tailbacks Chance Perkins and Kris Gilmore both saw extensive playing time last year, rushing for a combined 726 yards. They should be able to give the Bulldogs a two-headed running attack similar to Cameron Rogers and Bailey McGee in 2007.
"Last year we started out playing about four tailbacks throughout the season and actually did it for about 14 weeks, where we'd alternate to try to keep those guys fresh. I see us doing the same thing this year," Sandifer said. "We have an advantage of having Chance and Kris coming back, who had big years last year as juniors, so I see us being in kind of the same situation as we were last year."
Wylie's receiving corps should also be talented and deep. Matt Field (13 catches for 189 yards) and Michael Seidensticker (6-75) give the Bulldogs a couple of players with experience, while Austin Gray, Robert Miller, Brad Turner and Steven Cottner could contribute.
The one area, other than quarterback, where the Bulldogs will be inexperienced is on the offensive line. Third-year starter Brink Huffine and Bryce Nichols return to anchor the line as tackles, but Sandifer will have to find two new guards and a center.
Wylie has plenty of solid candidates for those three spots, but Sandifer said that group will need time to reach its full potential.
"It takes awhile for that O-line to work together and get their timing," he said. "They, more than backs and receivers who can do a lot of their stuff on air, they got to hit somebody.
"They've just got to get in there and start working, but we like what we see there."
With the exception of Jennings, who tallied 112 tackles as a junior last year, Wylie's will have an entirely new defense.
Standouts Trevor Casey, Alex Crisman, Case Wilson and Matt Meriwether on gone. A group with little varsity experience is charged with replacing them.
But as is the case just about every year, Sandifer likes what he has coming up.
He will choose from a solid group of returning lettermen and junior varsity standouts to put together what he believes will be another strong defense.
And it doesn't hurt that the unit has Jennings to rally around.
"Jesse is a great football player because he has great instincts, but he is a tireless worker," Sandifer said. "A lot of people say, 'Oh he's just blessed and has talent,' and he does. But compound that with the fact that he's the hardest working kid on the team.
"He's a great team leader, and those guys follow his example."
With Vernon, Liberty Hill, Wolfforth Frenship, Waco La Vega and Canyon on their nondistrict schedule and a tough district slate in District 2-3A, the Bulldogs will have to come together quickly.
Gilmore said he's looking forward to playing one of the state's toughest schedules.
"It will be awesome because every game will be tough. It will be like we're playing a playoff game every single week," he said.
"The games will all be tough and they'll all be close. That will get us used to that situation when the playoffs roll around."

Beautiful Days Festival 2004 - License Granted
Photographer: John BownasJohn Bownas on 26 January 2004
Beautiful Days 2004
Block out a space in your diary on 21st and 22nd August, and book your travel down to Devon's beautiful Escot countryside, because 2004's Beautiful Days Festival looks set to top the 2003 premier of this Levellers run event that harks back to the true spirit of music festivals from days of yore...and that's saying something given that last year's weekender proved to be the pick of the crop in what was a truly vintage year of UK fests.
With a license now granted the organisers are going full steam ahead to confirm the headline acts, and we expect tickets to go on sale in March. There's going to be a new venue up near to the camping area with an entertainment and bar license until 2am, and it's hoped that the excellent children's area will be expanded to ensure that the family feeling of the event is maintained and built upon.
If we can recommend that you go to just one or two festivals this year then this would definitely be one of them.

Malvern TCE
July 1998 Fact Sheet
EPA Offers Settlement to Responsible Parties
Responsible parties are present or former owners and/or operators of the site; companies/persons who arranged for treatment and/or disposal of hazardous substances at the site; or companies/persons who accepted hazardous substances for transport to the site for treatment or disposal.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently mailed letters to all identified parties responsible for the contamination at the Malvern TCE Superfund Site. These letters notified the responsible parties that they must pay for the cost of the site cleanup, including reimbursing EPA for all previous costs associated with the cleanup.
On April 30, 1998, EPA mailed letters to approximately 250 de minimis parties offering them the opportunity to participate in a de minimis settlement and to settle their liability as generators, brokers or transporters of waste to the site. The settlement allows these parties the opportunity to contribute to the cleanup costs in return for a guarantee from EPA that they will not be sued in the future for site-related cleanup activities.
On May 4, 1998, EPA mailed special notice letters to approximately 50 non-de minimis responsible parties. Responsible parties who received special notice letters are required to reimburse EPA's past costs as well as estimated future costs, and to implement and fund the remedy for the site. These letters give the parties an opportunity to negotiate a consent decree to perform the work required by the Record of Decision (ROD), a document that announces and explains EPA's selected cleanup method.
Responsible parties receiving special notice letters included Lloyd Balderston, Ruth Balderston and Chemclene Corp. Chemclene is the current owner of the site, Ruth Balderston is the former site owner, and Lloyd Balderston was the operator of the site during the time that contamination occurred. In addition to the owner/operator parties, companies who generated or transported waste to the site also received special notice letters.
EPA also issued an Order to Chemclene, Lloyd Balderston and Ruth Balderston to conduct certain cleanup plan activities outlined in the November 1997 ROD. Each activity that the owner/operators must conduct is part of the plan to clean up the Main Plant Area (MPA). The Order requires the owner/operators to:
- Decontaminate and remove the collapsed quonset hut and sample soils beneath the hut to determine if the soils contain specific contaminants above levels outlined in the ROD.
- Decontaminate and properly dispose of or reuse the former underground storage tanks in accordance with established standards.
- Inspect and maintain the Main Building to reduce infiltration of precipitation and provide an effective cap over the soils beneath the Main Building at the MPA.
- Close the Main Building, including the loading dock and chemical laboratory. Closure will consist of removing and disposing of all hazardous wastes and decontaminating the floor, distillation equipment, contaminated structures and associated processing equipment. The contents of the building will be sampled to determine if hazardous substances are present. If hazardous substances are present, the materials will be shipped to a proper offsite disposal facility.
De Minimis Parties are those companies or individuals who contributed a relatively small amount of waste to the site. EPA established a cut-off for de minimis eligibility using a percentage of the total waste sent to the site by all the responsible parties. For the Malvern Site, a responsible party is eligible to participate in the de minimis settlement if its contribution of hazardous substances to the site is at or less than 0.75% of the total waste sent to the site for processing.
The de minimis parties had until May 31, 1998, to review the terms of the settlement and respond to EPA with any comments. EPA will finalize the settlement and notify the parties that they have 30 days to sign the settlement and return it to EPA.
Upon receipt of the letters, the non-de minimis parties have 60 days to respond to EPA with a Good Faith Offer. A Good Faith Offer is a response from the parties to EPA stating that they are willing to participate in negotiations and implement the design and construction of the remedy. If EPA receives a Good Faith Offer, an additional 60 days is set aside to negotiate a Consent Decree between the parties and EPA.
Once EPA completes negotiations, the remedial design phase of the cleanup can begin. This is the phase in which the cleanup plan is designed. Upon completion of the remedial design phase, the remedial action (the actual construction of the cleanup) will begin. EPA anticipates that construction will begin in the spring of 2000.

Nigeria's Ajoke Odumosu has crashed out of the IAAF World Championships in Moscow after making a false start to the women's 400m hurdles event on Monday.
Odumosu started off the block in 0.240 seconds before the gun, necessitating a restart of the event and her exit.
Nigeria's second hurdler in Heat 4, Ugonna Ndu, could not join the train to the semi-finals after finishing fifth in 57.27 seconds as the first four finishers qualified for the next round.
Christine Sonali Merrill of Sri Lanka and Jamaica's Kaliese Spencer were also disqualified from the event.
The Jamaican team appealed Spencer's disqualification but the protest was thrown out by the Jury of Appeal after video evidence showed how she went wrong.
Spencer won the first heat in a season best 54.10 seconds but was later disqualified for breaching rule 168.7 (a) which states: foot or leg is, at the instant of clearance, beside the hurdle (on either side), below the horizontal plane of the top of any hurdle.
A release from the IAAF said on Monday, "An incident occurred in Heat 1 of the women's 400m hurdles where Jamaican athlete Kaliese Spencer (bib number 524) who crossed the line in first position but was disqualified under rule 168.7 (trailing leg).
It was not the first time the Spencer has been affected by the rule. She was disqualified at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Birmingham last year but was reinstated after an appeal by MVP president Bruce James who was on hand.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Las Vegas police are requesting the public's assistance in locating 52-year-old William Thompson of Las Vegas.
On Sept. 11, Thompson failed to appear in Justice Court at a scheduled hearing and is currently wanted on outstanding felony arrest warrants, stemming from a sexual assault investigation.
In November 2012, detectives received information concerning a local photographer who was reportedly taking photographs and recording videos of a juvenile in sexually explicit situations.
As a result of the investigation, detectives arrested Thompson. He operated Storybook Studios in the 3300 block of West Craig Road.
Thompson has also been linked with additional cases, including several outside of the Continental United States, and this investigation is currently under review for possible federal prosecution.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Thompson is urged to call police at (702) 668-7001 or Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.

Two years later and a whole lot sicker, she finally got the diagnosis: Lyme disease. The kicker was that she knew it was Lyme disease way before she could get a doctor to agree with her. They were adamant that Lyme wasn't in California.
Ten years later, most of us know that Lyme disease is here, and 2008 will always be, for me, the year my family met Lyme.
It started with Ribbon. The kids were thrilled with the new puppy. But, every return to our kitchen from outside revealed she was a tick magnet. It wasn't long before I pulled a tick off my son, Louis. The tick seemed barely attached, and I was sure it had been on him less than an hour.
Within the next two days, he had a very red bar-shaped rash. It wasn't a ring or target rash, so I knew we didn't need to worry about Lyme disease.
Wrong absolutely wrong! The target rash is rare; less than 10 percent of Lyme patients have had one. If you have one, you have Lyme. But, if you don't have one, the jury is still out.
By February 2008, Louis started complaining of exhaustion. Other symptoms followed aching legs, and feet "heavy like lead." The pediatrician set about trying to figure out what could be wrong.
I asked about Lyme; after all, there was a known tick bite. He said confidently, "It can't be Lyme. The tick wasn't on for 24 hours and he didn't have the target rash." Again, this is wrong. Infection can take place after 15 minutes. But that night, I was relieved.
The next morning, I knew it was Lyme. Joint pain had been added to Louis' list of complaints. The doctor refused to pursue Lyme disease. He was adamant. I remembered the Lyme conversation 10 years ago and knew that it had been a gift. Similarly to the trail runner, here I was faced with a doctor who was sure of his facts.
The problem was that he ignored other facts, such as a known tick bite and Louis' clinical assessment. His symptoms were in alignment with Lyme, a neuropathic ailment. It turns out that feet "heavy like lead" is a beautiful description of a neuropathy.
There is more to this story. Louis became a very ill little boy. One year later, he is finally able to do well at school while still being treated. It has been a huge struggle.
But, there is another gift in this story. This fall, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Turns out the last four years of dizziness, vertigo, asthma, vision problems, fatigue, heart palpitations, sleeplessness, cognitive deficits, stabbing pains and even the plantar fasciitis really aren't normal parts of aging, at least not at 43. I am sick.
Without Louis' acute presentation, I would never have discovered my own Lyme disease. I would have just slipped away. A conversation with a trail runner essentially saved us.
To extend this Lyme conversation to as many people as possible in our community, there will be a "Lyme Disease Awareness Night" at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, at Ladera Community Church. Three Lyme-literate and wonderful doctors are coming to talk about this emerging disease. They are: Dr. Christine Green, Dr. Deborah Metzger and Dr. Nick Harris (founder of Igenex).
Come and learn. You may save yourself or someone you love a great deal of suffering by simply learning basics of prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
"Lyme Disease Awareness Night" begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, at Ladera Community Church, 3300 Alpine Road in Portola Valley. For more information, e-mail email@example.com.

Kathleen O'Rourke is a Woodside resident who has organized a Lyme disease awareness event, set for March 4.

- How to Read a Study Record
This feasibility clinical investigation is designed to demonstrate that the NeuroPace external Responsive Neurostimulator (model eRNS-300) can safely deliver responsive electrical stimulation automatically to affect epileptiform activity. The eRNS-300 is based on an implantable neurostimulator that has been adapted for acute, external use in a hospital setting.
Device: external Responsive Neurostimulator (eRNS) System
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Automated Response to Spontaneous Epileptiform Activity Using the External Responsive Neurostimulator (eRNS) System Clinical Investigation
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|March 2002
|Study Completion Date:
|March 2008
|Primary Completion Date:
|April 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The Automated Response to Spontaneous Epileptiform Activity using the External Responsive Neurostimulator (eRNS) system clinical investigation involves subjects who are undergoing intracranial monitoring for the evaluation of epilepsy surgery and who are being monitored in the hospital's epilepsy monitoring unit. During the subject's participation, at the discretion of the investigator, the subject will be connected to the eRNS. The eRNS is an investigational device that attaches to standard intracranial electrode monitoring equipment to monitor the subject's seizure activity. It is anticipated that the subject may be connected to the eRNS for a period of time extending from one day to a few weeks. After the subject has enough seizures to complete their evaluation for epilepsy surgery, the physician may enable the responsive stimulation settings for the eRNS. The subject's participation in the clinical investigation will be complete prior to the removal of their intracranial electrodes.

If this post has helped you, please vote or mark as solution.
Before break-up, make sure you have a good backup..... ;-)
Everything depends of your needs, for small size environment (1-10 Media Servers) you can use the Netbackup Deduplication or MSDP option, trick is to make the clients to run the deduplication if you put all the dedup load in the MSDP boxes they will underperform thats why this solution is not good for big environments.
For Medium Size Environment (11-30 Media Servers) you can use the Netbackup Appliances mixed with some MSDP will depend of budget here is the same tricket you let the 75% of the deduplication to run on the client side because if you let more than 40% of the dedup to run on any of the appliances or an MSDP box they will underperform and you will be force to add more devices, like I said it depends of budget
For Large Size Environment (31-60 Media Servers) DataDomain is the best option here you dont need to care of client deduplicating data this machines rule the deduping world, just to make a difference I have see 1 of this Devices to Backup 40TB in one night without a single complaint and duplicate the 40TB during the day without a problem (Using a VTL configuration which is worst setup for DD's) this is a 1200MB/sec throughput compared with MSDP or the NBU Appliances the most they will give you is around 140MB/sec, why becuause the Netbackup Deduplication is design to put most of the load on the client side which is a good idea because you distribute the load and for those clients that you cannot afford to do this you let the MSDP or Appliance do the deduping. Keep in my that if you add a DDBoost config in the DataDomains your speeds easily can up up to 3000MB/sec.
In Conclusion, if you are small get an MSDP solution is included in the Netbackup 7 license and plan well your storage if you have something big, go with the big guys.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards.

Excellent response, Omar, but what about NBU appliances?
Using NBU appliances all the latest and greatest features are supported. Even Client-side dedupe (not supported with 3rd-party appliances).
As far as 3rd-Party appliances are concerned, I feel that Quantum DXi is a very good option (better than DD). More of NBU advanced options are supported.
NIKHIL, please have a look at NBU Hardware Compatibility Guide - it will tell which features are supported by each type of dedupe device. Decide what is best for YOUR environment.
Another option would be to contact your NBU reseller. They (should) have experienced Solution Architects who can advise you on the best solution for YOUR environment.

NAACP Mourns Passing of Margaret Bush Wilson
8/19/2009, 1:21 p.m.
The NAACP family is saddened by the passing of Margaret Bush Wilson, an activist and lawyer who was the first African American woman to chair the NAACP Board of Directors. Wilson died on Tue., Aug. 11 at the age of 90.
€Margaret Bush Wilson's passion for legal equity and social justice provide the framework for which many of our civil rights victories have been fought and won,€ said NAACP chair of the Board of Directors Julian Bond.
€The NAACP has lost a champion and the world has lost a pioneer. Margaret Bush
Wilson served as an NAACP Board member and Board Chair and a path breaking Missouri lawyer.€
The importance of the NAACP and its mission were instilled in Wilson early in life, as both of her parents were active in the St. Louis, Mo. Branch of the NAACP, of which she became a member as a youth. Following her graduation from Talladega College, in 1940, she entered Lincoln University School of Law in Missouri, set up one year earlier after the Supreme Court ruled that Black students must be admitted to the University of Missouri Law School or provide equal educational opportunities elsewhere.
In 1953, following her graduation, she incorporated Black brokers, organized by her father, who brought the successful Shelley vs. Kramer case to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1956, she began work as volunteer for the St. Louis Branch NAACP when they formed a Job Opportunity Council to get local White businessmen to hire Black citizens. In 1958, she became president of the St. Louis Branch.
The pioneering civil rights lawyer was the second black woman to pass the Missouri Bar. She was part of the legal team on a U.S. Supreme Court case that challenged housing covenants that excluded blacks and Jews from neighborhoods in St. Louis and other cities.
In early 1960, she organized the first statewide NAACP Conference in Missouri which became the Missouri State Conference of NAACP Branches of which she also served as President. She was later elected to the NAACP Board of Directors in 1963 and was a member for the next 12 years, until her election as Chair in 1975 and served in this position for nine years through 1983.
After her election as Chair, when male board members inquired €What shall we call you? Chairperson? Chairlady?,€ she responded €As long as you recognize that I'm Chairman of the Board, I don't care what you call me.€
€Margaret Bush Wilson was the consummate NAACP leader, and her steadfast commitment to the Association was unparalleled,€ said NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous.
€Her invaluable contributions will be sorely missed, and her legacy and passion for social justice will live on through the NAACP's efforts.€
Roslyn M. Brock, NAACP Vice Chair, said upon hearing of Wilson's passing that €she was a pioneer in Missouri who effectively sought to bring change, the first Black woman to run for Congress in 1948, the second to practice law in the state, and the first woman of color to become Chair of the NAACP National Board. She set precedents and demonstrated that with qualifications determination and perseverance, goals can be reached. Her achievements have certainly inspired me to move forward.€

| Update on Industry Access to PHIS
FSIS Administrator Al Almanza announced on Tuesday that industry access to PHIS would be postponed as a result of the agencys current budget situation. The move, he said, would not affect agency implementation of PHIS.
We did not make this decision lightly, Almanza said. We knew that we had all of the funding in place to fully implement PHIS within the agency, but we would not have been able to support real-time questions that the industry may have had. Rather than providing access without proper support, we decided to postpone this part of PHIS until we have the funding in place. This is disappointing, but it is the right thing to do.
Under the original plan, establishments would have been immediately given an invitational key to interact electronically with FSIS and perform a wide variety of tasks, including submitting export applications and other information, scheduling incoming shipments, reading reports and responding to and appealing noncompliance records. Until establishments have access to PHIS, they will continue to receive information and updates from inspection personnel.
PHIS is expected to be launched the second week in April, and will be implemented in sequential stages. For more information about PHIS, visit www.fsis.usda.gov/phis/.
FSIS Restructures CID Regions
The Office of Program Evaluation, Enforcement and Review will complete a realignment of its Compliance and Investigation Divisions (CID) from five to four regions, effective April 24.
This internal reorganization is intended to streamline reporting processes and will have no impact on industry or other FSIS stakeholders. To review the new regions, visit www.fsis.usda.gov/Contact_Us/
Inspection Seminars Designed for International Government Officials
FSIS will host a meat and poultry inspection seminar for international officials in Mayaguez, PR, from May 16 through June 11.
This seminar will be held in cooperation with the University of Puerto Rico and includes basic HACCP certification. There will also be an in-depth review of FSIS verification of HACCP and sanitation requirements.
Other topics and activities include import and export policies and procedures, foreign inspection program equivalence, and field visits. This seminar will be conducted in Spanish.

NACMCF Subcommittee to Hold Public Meeting
A subcommittee of the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) will hold public meetings from April 5-7.
NACMCF's subcommittee on the Study of Microbiological Criteria as Indicators of Process Control or Insanitary Conditions is meeting to develop guidance to assist the Department of Defense (DoD). DoD will use this guidance in developing refined microbiological and other criteria to better evaluate process control and insanitary conditions at the point of production.

- How to Read a Study Record
Functional dyspepsia is a very common medical condition, which occurs in up to 30% of people in the community. However, results of current pharmacological treatment on functional dyspepsia are unsatisfactory. Rifaximin is a minimally absorbed antibiotic that has been used in treatment of non-constipated irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In particular, bloating and abdominal pain was improved by rifaximin treatment in this group of IBS patients. Whilst there is considerable overlap in symptoms of functional dyspepsia and IBS, the investigators test whether rifaximin is also effective in curing post-prandial distress symptoms related to dyspepsia.

Our training plan is to scout all 3 check points and the best place to start is the most famous "filter" of them all, CP1. A lot has been written and discussed on this check point. Several decisions have to be made here and all Class 4 boats have to transition at some point from sailing to paddling or rowing as the bridge just before the check point forces you to take down your mast(s). The actual check point is a large kayak rental/expedition company called Grand Tours. That location was our goal but first we had lots of sailing and rowing to do. We rigged the boat with a full load as if we were on the EC. We had all the required gear and everything else we would actually carry for the race. Thanks to the JSI/Island Nautical connection, we have solved the storage problems of the Sea Pearl. Bill and his staff sewed up shock corded mesh panels under the side decks and installed 8 gear bags (6 in the main cockpit and 2 in the aft cockpit). Now we had more storage room than we had gear to go in it…sweet.
We hit the road a little before 6 am Saturday morning. The drive from St. Pete to Placida is just under 2 hours. We launched at Elrdred's Marina which is at the base of the swing bridge that goes over to Gasparilla Island and the town of Boca Grande. Eldred's turned out to be quite a place to start the trip. It's a family run and funky fishing type of marina. A real contrast to the upscale image the Placida/Boca Grand area is trying to sell the tourists and retirees. This is old Florida. You pay a crusty old guy 5 bucks to launch and then head on down to the 2 lane gravel ramp. If you are rigging a sailboat, LOOK UP! Eldreds is criss crossed with electric wires. They are knarly, as we saw later in the day. We watched in horror from a hundred yards away as a Sea Pearl Tri pulled out of the water and took a right turn into a power line and ripped both masts out of the boat. It was ugly but thankfully no one was hurt.
Once launched it was dead downwind in about 12 to 15 knots along the Boca Grand bridge and out Gasparilla Pass. The wind was as predicted out of the NE. We pulled on our foulies and watched the breakers up ahead. I was driving and Runs was navigating like a mad man.
He had the GPS and his iPad going since we hadn't been through here before. Luckily, he was right on the money with his course. We followed his pre-programed track and it took us right through the breaking waves and out into the gulf. We reefed down the main and mizzen 2 turns on each and turned north (starboard tack) into a moderate chop.
The destination was Stump Pass about 7 miles ahead. The weather was post card perfect with bright blue sky and temps about 72.
An hour or so later we saw the #1 daymarker for Stump Pass. This was a nice surprise since we had heard this pass wasn't marked, extremely shallow and hard to navigate. We found all of this to be exaggerated. The pass is well marked and recently dredged.
The only problem was we had to beat into a pretty narrow channel. After several tacks we made the mistake of taking a short cut around an island just inside the cut. This would have been a great move if the wind was behind us. Instead we had to continue to beat into an ever narrowing channel, dodge some fisherman and walking birds all the while sweating in our foul weather gear as the temperatures increased.
We finally made it to the ICW and settled down to a nice port tack reach for about 4 miles. Then we got headed and almost run down by the Palm Island Ferry. This is a weird little ferry service. It runs about 200 yards in each direction across the ICW from the mainland to Palm Island. After the ferry encounter it was rowing and sailing the rest of the 4 miles back to the Boca Grand swing bridge. The bridge opened right on schedule and we sailed through. The next obstacle is an abandoned railroad bridge with a pretty wide opening. We had an incoming tide which made sailing through the bridge pretty easy. At night with an outgoing tide would be a different story. A few hundred yards later we entered the channel that leads down into Placida and ultimately Grand Tours. It was dead upwind so we anchored out of the channel and unstepped the masts. Since I had been driving most of the way, I switched places with Bill and he steered and I rowed. After a pretty easy 20 minutes of rowing we came up to the last obstacle which is a low bridge leading to a very narrow channel. In the dark it could be somewhat intimidating but during the day it was pretty easy. Five minutes later we were tied up at Grand Tours. Bill had a nice chat with Ashley the proprieter of the kayak company and I munched my sandwich and called my wife, Joy.
We had accomplished our mission. Tracks and waypoints were recorded in the iPad and we have a visual reference to work with three and half months from now when it counts. Our rowing and "motorsailing" techniques have improved dramatically. We saw both passes that lead into CP1. Our navigation systems (iPad and GPS) are flawless and easy to use. Our 14 watt solar panel and battery system are more than adequate. It will easily charge our iPhones, iPad and Go Pro camera. Boat handling is becoming second nature and we've learned to live with the quirks of the Sea Pearl 21. We have 2 more check points to go and hope those scouting missions go as well as this one did.
We headed back the short distance to Eldred's to pull out and have a well deserved beer or two. It's amazing who you can run into while out practicing for the EC. We pulled into Eldreds along with Bill Fite (tribal name Jarhead) and Meade Gougeon (tribal name Yellow Thing). They were coming back from a couple of days at Cayo Costa where they had been part of the West Coast Trailer Sailors fall rendezvous. We spent the next hour talking with them and of course picking their brains about the secrets of finishing an EC. Bill as he usually does gave us a great tip without even thinking about it. We were talking about our improved rowing technique. Bill showed us his Shaw and Tenney oars and the modification he made to them. He puts reflective tape on his oars to indicate the blade orientation. He said he learned that trick the hard way when he was tired and cold and couldn't see the tips of his oars in the dark. We also discovered that our ash oars are about twice as heavy as his spruce ones. Another modification we need to make if the budget holds out. We packed up the boat and were home a few hours later.
This trip although just a daysail was a big confidence builder. We have sailed the Sea Pearl a lot this fall in mostly windy conditions. We've only used the mizzen staysail once and we've only seen the new Doyle sails unreefed a couple of times. More checkpoints and more to learn in the coming months.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. -- The Johnson City Medical Center Family Birth Center recently received a grant to help put two lactation specialists in local OB/GYN practices so they can talk to expectant moms about breast feeding. The goal is to provide early education to women about the benefits of breast feeding and to increase the rate of breastfeeding mothers.
"We're looking more and more at preventative health care, and we've learned over the years that breast feeding is huge part of that," said Chasta Hite, RNC, IBCLC and MSHA's lactation services manager. "To increase the breastfeeding rate, we need to capture expectant mothers before they come into the hospital to have their baby and have already chosen their feeding method.
"If we contact them in the doctors' offices, hopefully we can influence their decision and prepare them for what to expect and what can help them have a better experience when they get to JCMC to have their baby."
Since exclusive breast milk feeding is a Perinatal Care Core Measure of The Joint Commission and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, health care systems must seek out innovative ways to encourage this positive health choice for their patients.
The JCMC Family Birth Center was the recipient of the Breastfeeding Support Funding opportunity through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office on Women's Health. It will allow a lactation consultant to be present at the Johnson City OB/GYN and ETSU OB/GYN practices twice a week for a total of six hours.
The trial program began in March and will continue through mid-September. If the results are good, it could be expanded within MSHA.
Having a lactation consultant available in obstetric offices prenatally will increase the opportunity for clients to ask questions, learn more about infant feeding options and talk with a professional regarding the best choice for feeding their infant.
Allergies, asthma problems, obesity, heart disease, juvenile diabetes – breastfeeding can help lower the chance of all these. It's just a matter of letting more expectant mothers know all the benefits.
"We have so many moms come in who've decided to bottle feed and we find out they may have misconceptions about breastfeeding," Hite said. "This program puts information in the patients' hands so they can make an informed decision."
For more on The Joint Commission's efforts toward perinatal care, visit www.jointcommission.org/perinatal_care/.

Nouvelles UBS
Investor Optimism falls back in February
Confidence in US markets increases among EU 5 investors as support for European markets wanes.
Individual investors across Europe were less optimistic in February as continued economic weakness raised concerns about the outlook for European financial markets, according to the UBS Index of Investor Optimism® - EU 5.
The February Index shows investor optimism at a current level of 20 points, down from 40 points last month. In particular, the outlook for economic growth over the coming twelve months dampened, with 41% of private investors pessimistic in February compared with 33% in January. Likewise, 38% were pessimistic on the outlook for stock market performance in the coming year, compared to 31% last month.
According to the Index, Europe has fallen behind the US in the ranking of the most attractive financial markets. Currently, 42% now rank US markets as most attractive, compared with 33% in January. This contrasts with 31% of EU 5 investors saying they are most optimistic about the prospects for European markets this month, compared with 42% in January.

According to the fine folks at ThinkFun , "There are six possible directions a piece can move: left, right, up, down, toward you, away from you. Unless an instruction specifically states otherwise, you should move each piece as far as it will go. Some of the instructions will specify the number of units that a piece (or pair) should be moved. In these cases, you need to be careful not to move the piece (or pair) as far as it can go and instead stop at the position indicated."
Special NOTE: When the 'pink' piece leaves the puzzle assembly in Step 7, steps 8-->13 return the rest of the puzzle pieces back to the beginning of the solution (without the 'pink' piece).
Steps 14-->20 end in releasing the yellow piece.
