If you're preparing to move, we hope that these bits of wisdom will come in handy! Who can't use some moving tips when they're packing up their whole life for a new home? Never pack flammable items. Pack as much or as little as you want. Write everything down! You'll thank yourself later. Each tip is carefully designed to guide you through each phase of the moving process. We know you have many options when choosing the right moving services in Royal Terrace, Florida for your family. Be sure to identify any extra-fragile items needing special attention.
If you hire anyone, you want them to be reliable and careful — and not overcharge you. Be ruthless — moving is a chore, but it's also a chance to make a clean start. Soft goods such as pillows should be packed in a lined, clean carton and separated by layers of clean paper. We know you have many options when choosing the best moving companies in Royal Terrace for your family. Also, remember to mark what room the items should be placed into in the new home. Small boxes are ideal for heavy or fragile items that must be packed on their own to ensure ease of handling.
Getting a moving help is a wise decision in Royal Terrace, Florida
Be sure you've collected any leftover items. Use linens or blankets for wrapping mirrors, pictures and such. Empty drawers of breakables, spillable, items not recommended for inclusion in your shipment and anything that would puncture or damage other items. Shop around and do research to make sure the company you choose is worth your hard-earned money. Generally, people are most prone to mistakes when under stress – it is very difficult to keep a cool head and act with diligence when pressed for time, money, or consequential decisions.
Before you pack even one box, create a simple record keeping system. The safest way to move your electronics is to use the original box from when you bought the appliance. Towels and linens make excellent packing materials for fragile items. Stock up on packing supplies. Don't forget to clean your stove and defrost the fridge! Moving boxes, bubble wrap, packing foam, packing tape, plastic totes – anything and everything you can gather ahead of time will help when it's time to begin packing. Make sure that you throw away as much garbage as possible before the actual moving day.

Sioux Falls to sell landfill methane to ethanol plant
The city of Sioux Falls will sell the gas from decomposing garbage to fuel an ethanol plant. Methane gas is a natural byproduct at landfills. It means millions in profits for the city along with an ethanol plant using less natural gas.
The city will build an 11 mile pipeline from the land fill to the ethanol plant. It will cost the city about $4 million. But the city will make about $2 million annually from the sale of the gas to the plant.
Mark Cotter is the director of public works. He says the city will design the pipeline and work with landowners along the route.
"It is a low pressure gas line much the same as what you see in front of your own homes which is natural gas. In many cases those pressures can range from 15 to 65 pounds," Cotter said.
Cotter says the city will begin pumping methane gas in 2009.
The city of Fargo also sells its landfill methane gas to Cargill.

New Simulation to Support Traditional / 3D-Printed Cooling Systems
Givat Shmuel, Israel – August 7, 2013 – Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ: CIMT) and CoreTech System Co., Ltd. (Moldex3D) together announced today an agreement to deliver an integrated cooling simulation tool within CimatronE to address the growing design needs for more efficient cooling systems in the plastics industry.
It is well-known the conventional cooling design with drilled straight channels cannot cool down complex plastic parts evenly and efficiently, often resulting in poor part quality and extended cycle time problems. With the introduction of laser sintering technology, mold cores and inserts manufactured by 3D printing can keep the cooling channels close to the core/cavity surface as much as possible so as to achieve even and efficient cooling. The new integration will provide CimatronE users a convenient and powerful tool to evaluate the benefits and return-on-investment (ROI) of conformal cooling approach.
The cooling analysis capabilities will be delivered as an optional add-on in the next release of Moldex3D eXplorer for Cimatron. It will extend the power of Cimatron users from performing mold filling analysis to optimizing cooling channel layout. Designers can design in Cimatron environment mold cores and inserts with conventional channels, baffles and bubbles, and/or incorporate complex conformal cooling channels to enhance cooling in critical regions. With Moldex3D proprietary auto-mesh technology, complex cooling channel mesh models can be automatically constructed for analysis. Based on the 3D cooling analysis results from Moldex3D, users can accurately identify hot or cold spots, mold temperature, required cooling time, and cooling efficiency of a mold before cutting or "printing" the steel, and promptly revise the design in CimatronE to improve the cooling performance.
"The new cooling analysis integration with Moldex3D will help our customers to design higher quality molds with improved cooling and shorter cycle times using advanced 3D printing (Additive Manufacturing) technologies as well as traditional milling and drilling technologies." said Ira Bareket, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Cimatron. "The ability to support analysis of conformal cooling will place our customers at the forefront of mold production technology."
"It is our pleasure to extend the integration with Cimatron." stated Venny Yang, President of CoreTech System (Moldex3D). "Moldex3D is dedicated to develop with the idea and insistence upon molding innovation to deliver users easy-to-use yet most accurate molding solutions. We are glad to provide Cimatron the full support on cooling design and advanced conformal cooling analysis capability to leverage 3D printing technology."
The new capabilities will be available to end users with the next CimatronE release.

No ingredients taste better than those just picked. So, in 2004 we commissioned a kitchen garden within the Griffin's grounds, under the auspices of Joe Hand.
Our garden team takes the concept beyond what we could have hoped for, turning our food miles into food paces.
The best strawberries we've tasted. Red, white and blackcurrants, raspberries, apples, pears and medlas. And sticks of pink rhubarb.
Peas, broad beans and salads. Leeks, onions, red and white cabbages and rows of garlic. And the ingredients for the picallilli and chutneys that we sell in our little shop.
Joe was joined in Spring 2014 by Phoebe Boulanger and Emma Rodell who look after the plants through the growing season and harvest them with the kitchen team.
We do not levy any service charge. Anything that guests choose to leave is split equally between our whole team (except sadly the business owners).
All we, as owners, ask is that resident guests who have eaten with us remember the team when they check out.
We have a short children's menu with food of similar quality to that on our usual menu. We also have small organic pots for very small children.
If you are staying and would like your younger children to eat earlier, then we can provide high tea in the bar from 5:30.

MONTREAL - There are some Montreal chefs who always seem to be in the spotlight. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because if they're out there, it's probably because they want to be there. Yet many excellent chefs fly under the radar, and I cannot deny I am even more impressed with those who manage to garner raves without glad-handing a path through the dining room come service time. Several names come to mind, but first and foremost is Claude Pelletier. Chef/partner of the excellent Le Club Chasse et Pêche, Pelletier has been on the scene for the past 20 years preparing some of the best restaurant food imaginable.
When he paired up with a group of partners, including Hubert Marsolais, at Cube back in 2001, Montrealers welcomed Pelletier's bold and modern cuisine, which continued when he and Marsolais opened Chasse et Pêche and then, with more partners, the wildly successful Le Filet. When word came a year back that he and Marsolais, along with the group's head sommelier, Philippe Boisvert, were to open a new restaurant, the foodies went into a tizzy. It would be located in the Darling Foundry in the space that last housed the funky lunch bar Cluny. The chef Pelletier chose would be the oh-so-talented Michele Mercuri. How promising!
After a long period of renovations, the restaurant finally opened on New Year's Eve. It is called Le Serpent — a nickname the building had picked up, I was told, due to the snakelike ventilation system on the roof. The menu was Italianate in style, without delving into any promises of regional authenticity. Mercuri is a real talent, who earned a four-star rating in these pages when he was chef at the posh XO restaurant in the St. James Hotel. He is a creative cook with a meticulous plating style, yet the intention here was not to create a high-end restaurant, but a bistro. Le Serpent already does a brisk lunch business, and is also the exclusive caterer for the Darling Foundry contemporary art centre in the building. Banquet planners, take note: there is a large reception/gallery space alongside the dining room, which seats 200 (up to 600 in cocktail mode).
Despite all the buzz when it opened, not all feedback was positive. Though the first reviews I read were strong, a few foodie friends warned that the kitchen perhaps wasn't ready for a review. One person went so far as to say, "I just didn't understand the food." Not what I'd call a ringing endorsement.
So I entered Le Serpent cautious on the first occasion, but exited pretty impressed. The decor is very stylish, with a black and white colour scheme, towering ceilings, tall windows and one terrific bar parallel to the kitchen. The acoustics are so well thought out that in this relatively noisy room, you'll have no problem making conversation. The floor staff is young, attractive, smiley and very sharp. On both my visits, the urban-chic crowd donned their best black. This restaurant is pretty darn cool.
The menu is divided into raw and cooked appetizers, pastas, risottos, fish and meats. There's also a section called "à la broche" (rotisserie) that changes daily. Desserts are made by the Chasse et Pêche/Le Filet pastry chef, Masami Waki.
The wine list is another big draw, as prices are reasonably set at less than double retail. Considering most restaurants charge 2½ to three times retail, that's one sweet deal. The selection, chosen by Boisvert, is exceptional, with many private imports and biodynamic bottles, as well as a solid choice of wines by the glass. You're in for a treat if Boisvert serves you, because he's just so open and unpretentious about wine, and the waitress who served me on another occasion knew the list well and helped guide us to a few winners.
As for the food, I felt a few stumbles here and there, but the hits were very strong. My first dish, a confit of Arctic char, was a miss. I liked the fennel garnish and the green apple and fennel pollen accents, but the fish was too raw. And thickly cut as it was, the flesh had a mushy mouthfeel.
A dish featuring beef tongue looked fantastic. Laid out on a large plate in a triangle, the tongue slices were topped with squid rings and spiders, celery, capers and other little doodads. Yet as much as I loved the tongue, the squid was rubbery. Hmm.
Happily, the next course wowed. A beautiful pasta made with linguine, cauliflower, speck, almonds and plenty of chopped truffle, the dish was so scrumptious and perfectly executed (cooked to al-dente perfection) that we wolfed it down in seconds. Then came the orzotto (rice-shaped orzo pasta cooked risotto style), which was mixed with bits of braised veal shank and topped with a mound of shaved foie gras. It's a dish similar to the Chasse et Pêche classic risotto with suckling pig and foie gras shavings, and it's just as delicious.
I like Mercuri's cooking when he gets into these complex pastas with earthy or meaty flavours so ideally suited to the many Italian red wines on offer.
But just when dinner was looking up, along came the rotisserie Cornish game hen. Served in pieces on a large plate (generous enough for two), the bird was silky and succulent, but the skin was coated with a glossy barbecue sauce that not only robbed the skin of its crisp texture, but added nothing but sweetness to the mix. Dommage.
For dessert, we enjoyed a fabulous tiramisu with a sabayon-like filling that was topped with a shot of espresso right at the table. Then came a maple pudding with an interesting olive cookie and caramelized apple served in a verrine. Excellent — as was the little hazelnut and chocolate mousse cake crowned with tiny macaron served in a pool of custard cream. All good.
At lunch a few days later, it was even better. A pretty beet salad mixed with spicy pecans, parsnip chips and tangerine segments was a treat, though there was a lot of sweetness in the mix. A dish of poached octopus slices served with salsa verde and a sort of parachute of potato mousseline was also fine, if a bit oily. My main-course dish of porchetta with a slice of burrata and wild mushrooms was delectable, and the garganelli (twirly ribbed pasta) with duck sausage, borlotti beans, kale and carrots was hearty without being too filling. That said, a little more sauce would have helped tie all the elements together.
As we finished with a slice of excellent chocolate cake and a couple of good coffees, I looked around this great, bright room, the crowd thinning out as customers drifted back to work. There are small fixes to make in the food — too many dishes have a sweet edge — but on the whole, for a bistro restaurant from this team, I'm impressed. This low-key group of cooks and restaurateurs seems to have yet another hit on its hands. The others can continue to hog the spotlight. These guys don't seem to need it.

PLUMAS LAKE, Calif. (KOVR/CNN) - A California couple has been together for nearly 70 years, and they're still going strong.
They say their love is sustained by their love of music and matching outfits - every note and every outfit in harmony.
"My mother bought us matching shirts when we were in high school," said Rosemary Klonts. "I picked them out, and so we've matched ever since."
Francis and Rosemary Klonts met in junior high in Auburn, Wash.
"I thought she was the cutest little thing when she came into our town," Francis Klonts said. "By the time we were seniors, we started going together."
At 19 years old, they were married.
Now both 87, Francis Klonts knows the term "happy wife, happy life" all too well, letting his bride of more than half a century pick his outfits every day.
"She just lays it out for me, and I don't have to worry about a thing," he said.
The "Singing Chaplains" perform at their church, hospitals and even around the house.
It's obvious they are in-tune vocally. When asked for their secret to a happy marriage, this duet's answer was given in sync.
"Jesus first, others second, yourself last," said the wife, as her husband mouthed the words. "That's the way to spell 'Joy.'"

Charles of St. Andrew
At the end of his military service he completed his studies and requested to be admitted to the congregation. He was received by Blessed Dominic Barberi, Passionist, and he entered the novitiate in the Belgium city of Ere, near Tournai on Nov. 5, 1845.
In December of that same year he was vested with the Passionist religious habit and was given the name of Charles of St. Andrew. Having completed the canonical year of novitiate, he professed first vows on Dec. 10, 1850. At the conclusion of his studies, he was ordained a priest by Bishop Labis, the ordinary of Tournai.
Immediately he was sent to England where the Passionists had founded three monasteries and it was here that, for a period of time, he undertook the ministry of vice master of novices in the monastery of Broadway. He also did parochial ministry in the Parish of St. Wilfred and neighboring areas until 1856 when he was transferred to the newly established monastery of Mount Argus, on the outskirts of Dublin.
Blessed Charles Houben lived almost the remainder of his life in this retreat and was greatly loved by the Irish people to point that they referred to him — a native of Holland — as Father Charles of Mount Argus. He was a pious priest, outstanding in exercising obedience, poverty, humility and simplicity and to an even greater degree, devotion to the Passion of the Lord.
Due to his poor mastery of English, he was never a formal preacher and he never preached missions. Rather he successfully dedicated himself to spiritual direction, especially through the sacrament of reconciliation.
The fame of his virtue was such that crowds of people would gather at the monastery to seek his blessing. There are also numerous testimonies to the miraculous cures that he worked, to the extent that even during his lifetime he was known as a miracle worker.
Precisely because of this fame that extended throughout all of Great Britain as well as in America and Australia, in 1866, to give him time to rest, he was transferred to England where he lived for a time in the communities at Broadway, Sutton and London. There he ministered as usual and there too, inside and outside the monastery, he was sought by the faithful, both Catholics and non-Catholics.
He returned to Dublin in 1874 where he remained until his death on Jan. 5, 1893.
During his funeral, there was proof of the popular devotion that had surrounded him throughout his life. A newspaper of the time reported: "Never before has the memory of any man sparked an explosion of religious sentiment and profound veneration as that which we observed in the presence of the mortal remains of Father Charles."
The superior of the monastery wrote to his family: "The people have already declared him a saint."
The cause of his beatification and canonization was introduced on Nov. 13, 1935, and on Oct. 16, 1988, Pope John Paul II proceeded with the beatification.
The miracle that led to his canonization was obtained through his intercession on behalf of Adolf Dormans of Munstergeleen, the birthplace of the blessed.
The diocesan inquiry "super miro" was also undertaken in the Diocese of Roermond, Holland, from Nov. 6, 2002, until Feb. 19, 2003, at which time the validity of the miracle was recognized by a decree from the Congregation for Saints' Causes on Nov. 7, 2003.
The medical consultation board was convoked on Nov. 24, 2005, and following the investigation of the matter, the members unanimously expressed that the cure of Dormans of "perforated, gangrenous appendicitis with generalized peritonitis that was multi-organically compromising and included extenuating and prolonged agony" was "not scientifically explainable."
The theologian consultors, in the particular congress of Feb. 21, 2006, and the Ordinary Congregation of Cardinals and Bishops of Dec. 12, 2006, also gave their unanimous approval of the supernatural aspect of the said healing.
The decree concerning the miracle was given in the presence of the Holy Father, Benedict XVI last Dec. 21.

BAYTOWN, TX -- A family trip to the drug store turned into a life and death struggle for one Baytown, Texas family last week. It ended with a would-be robber is in the hospital.
"I knew if I didn't do something, I knew all of us could get hurt," Dorothy Baker said.
Baker took her 2- and 5-year-old sons to the corner drug store to rent movies, but after they got back in the car and drove away, she realized a man with a knife was in the car with them.
"He was back here in the third row and he popped and he was waving a knife around leaning over the seat. My son, I was trying to get my son from up here to back here, but he grabbed my son and made him sit down next to him in the very back seat," she said. "And then when I made that right on West James Street, that's when he got made at me, he climbed over the seat and was standing on top of me."
That man, according to Baytown police, was 53-year-old Ismael Martinez. Baker fought him as the car was moving. She took the knife away from him, he bit her hand, but she forced him out.
"That's when I took my fist and punched him in the face and told him to get out of my car," Dorothy said. "When I saw him running, all I could think was he was going to get away, he's going to get away, somebody else could get hurt. Took after him and tried to clip him, turned too much, hit him and he ended up going under my wheels."
"He messed with the wrong woman. You don't come after a woman with kids thinking they're an easy target. You don't do this to people," Baker said.

The show is called "Tosh.0," and you can be sure updated versions that are smarter, more sophisticated and more user friendly will be available in the near future.
That's because Comedy Central would be insane not to fill increasing consumer demand with its hot new product. Even though "Tosh.0," which debuted in June 2009, is not delivered via disks or downloads but rather in prime time on Comedy Central, the web-centric half-hour laugher starring stand-up comedian Daniel Tosh is showing up on an increasing number of screens.
The episode of "Tosh.0" that aired Aug. 4, for instance, was the most watched show on all TV in the men's 18-24 and 18-34 demographics, according to Comedy Central. And the "Tosh.0" blog is drawing eyes as well: It is the third most popular among Comedy Central's digital sites, behind "South Park" and "The Daily Show."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Comedy Central makes most of its headlines from the rapier-like satire of "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report," the demented mirth generated by "South Park" and "Futurama" and a bevy of stand-up specials. But the cable net may have another flagship program in its port, and perhaps even for the long term. "Tosh.0" is finishing ahead of Stewart and Colbert, and currently is Comedy Central's No. 3 rated show, behind only "South Park" and "Futurama."
" 'Tosh.0' is one of those cable programs that comes along every so often and hits a bull's-eye with its target audience," explained Rick Kissell, who covers prime-time ratings for Variety. "While crime dramas on broad networks like TNT's 'The Closer' and 'Rizzoli & Isles' might draw three times as many viewers, their viewership is not nearly as concentrated among target demos as younger-skewing programs on more niche-oriented cable networks.
" 'Tosh,' for example, drew just 2.65 million viewers overall (for the episode that aired July 28) but stood as the No. 3 show on all of television — broadcast and cable — among men 18-34, behind only 'Jersey Shore' and 'True Blood.' Comedy Central has good reason to believe it has found its next star."
Comedic vivisection
The format of "Tosh.0" borrows from other shows that look for videos on the web to skewer. But Tosh has the advantage of applying his own unique brand of good-natured snarkiness that has been honed from years of performing standup in clubs and at colleges. The show also has regular features like its "Web Redemption" segment, in which somebody is given a chance to atone for embarrassing themselves on video.
"I really do think so much of the success of the show comes from Daniel and his particular take on these viral clips, the stuff from the web that gets passed around," noted Charlie Siskel, executive producer of the show. "People come to expect something different.
"Now you see comments in the web comments of a video that is being passed around saying, 'I can't wait to see how Tosh is gonna handle this.' "
The show highlights web videos both prominent and relatively unknown, then uses Tosh's special brand of comedic vivisection to rip them apart for laughs. The result often can be that a video that might not have been noticed before suddenly has its 15 minutes of infamy.
Siskel gave the example of a video that depicted a frat-guy drinking-game phenomenon involving Smirnoff ice bottles. Tosh's slightly darker take on it involved him breaking off a bottle, cutting a guy's throat and then pulling a bottle of Zima out of his pocket. "We mentioned that the phenomenon was out there," Siskel said, "and we wanted to put an end to it."
Getting twisted
Much of Tosh's appeal rests in his amiable comic-assassin persona. He is at once charming and twisted — not always a winning combination — yet he manages to pull it off with aplomb.
John Wenzel, who covers comedy among other topics as an entertainment writer for the Denver Post, had seen Tosh's standup act and interviewed him before "Tosh.0" had even aired.
"He has a sharp sense of humor," Wenzel said. "In most comedy nothing is sacred, but he's relentless when he goes after things. He just twists something until it's red-faced and sweating.
"I think his personality is suited to that. It seems pretty effortless for him to give out quick little sound bites, just sort of sharp, well-crafted barbs. It's sort of why 'Chappelle's Show' worked so well, even though that focused on sketches. It's one thing to another, with very little connective tissue."
All for laughs
And that evil twinkle in Tosh's eyes? That likeable leer? Does it help to ease the trauma of his well-placed jabs?
"He's doing it all under the guise of comedy," Wenzel explained. "I think you should be able to get away with anything under the guise of comedy, or else it's insulting. Part of it all is that All-American, Midwestern smiling nice guy with the sparkly eyes and rapid-fire demeanor and the sick, prurient mind that will go to these really dark places at a moment's notice."
Yet no matter the host or the manner of delivery, the show is working because it apparently satisfies a fundamental comedic requirement: the creation of guffaws from the bellies of viewers.
"Ultimately these are jokes," Siskel said. "This show isn't trying to change the world, just make people laugh. I think that's part of why we're able to poke fun at stuff without people getting too (offended)."

Nobel laureate Stiglitz keynotes conference, Feb. 14
Joseph Stiglitz, a winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in economics, will present the keynote address during a gathering of university presidents from around the world on Princeton's campus Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 14-15.
Stiglitz, a University Professor at Columbia University, will discuss "Innovative Ways for Financing Global Public Goods" at 5 p.m. Tuesday in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall. The address is free and open to the public.
The conference, which is not open to the public, is intended to explore common interests among the world's leading universities and to provide an opportunity for these key institutions to contribute to the solution of global public policy challenges. The second annual Secretary-General's Global Colloquium of University Presidents is chaired by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan and brings together representatives of 15 to 20 universities from around the world to address two issues. This year, those issues are "The Social Benefits of the Research University in the 21st Century" and "Innovative Sources of Funding for Public Goods."
Stiglitz, who will initiate discussion on the latter topic, was a professor of economics at Princeton from 1979 to 1988. He won the Nobel Prize, in part, for work he did with Michael Rothschild, the William Stuart Tod Professor of Economics and Public Affairs and former dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Stiglitz shared the prize with Michael Spence, a 1966 Princeton alumnus and professor emeritus in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University, and George Akerlof, a professor of economics at the University of California-Berkeley. The trio was honored for their work in advancing new ways to analyze markets.
Stiglitz was a member of the Council of Economic Advisers from 1993 to 1995, during the Clinton administration, and served as the council's chair from 1995 to 1997. He was chief economist and senior vice president of the World Bank from 1997 to 2000.
Members of the press who wish to attend the Stiglitz lecture should contact Cass Cliatt in the Office of Communications at (609) 258-6108 or firstname.lastname@example.com by noon Monday, Feb. 13. No other discussion sessions being held as part of the colloquium are open to the public or the media.

Wal-Mart will hire 55,000 seasonal workers nationwide for the holiday season, including a little more than 500 in Colorado, the retailer will announce Tuesday.
That compares to approximately 50,000 seasonal workers the company said it would add before the holidays last year nationwide and the 500 it hired in Colorado during the 2012 holiday season.
In addition, Wal-Mart also said it will promote 25,000 U.S. associates before the end of the year.
Some of those "surprise promotions" are to be announced Tuesday in Denver by Ben Hassing, senior vice president of the mountain division of Wal-Mart. In the Denver area, Wal-Mart has promoted 573 hourly associates this year to supervisory roles and 73 hourly associates to salaried management roles, Hassing said.
He said that in an average year, Wal-Mart promotes 160,000 associates across the United States.
"Denver has been a really good market for us. This year in Colorado we've opened 16 stores, and in the Denver market alone we've opened 10 new neighbor markets — and we have another two coming this week.
That means we've added directly 1,000 jobs in the Denver market related to the new store openings," Hassing said.
Hassing noted that, in addition, Wal-Mart is adding jobs to the existing stores in Colorado.

Advance praise for French Twist
"Presented with a touch of humor and spot-on descriptions of childhood (mis)behavior, the advice, which touches on such topics as breastfeeding and school participation, is practical and useful. A refreshing approach to raising children."—Kirkus Reviews
"[A] charming and clever parenting chronicle . . . Though some may prefer their naughty kids just the way they are, this breezy, entertaining study of parenting a la Paris may prompt others to pour a café au lait and rethink their strategies."—Publishers Weekly
"French Twist describes an open-minded experiment in French-style parenting (though apparently there's not even a French word for parenting!) and reveals itself as an honest examination of the author's own missteps and prejudices—which we all can relate to—and the whole overparenting trend in this country. Are Catherine Crawford's conclusions 'French'? Who cares? They're immensely logical and rational, and delivered with an abundance of love."—Muffy Mead-Ferro, author of Confessions of a Slacker Mom
"Ever seen a French child throw a tantrum in a restaurant or talk back to his parents? Neither has Catherine Crawford. In French Twist she uncovers the secrets of French child-rearing—and then tries them out on her own family, with remarkable results. Part memoir, part instruction manual, French Twist is hilarious, honest, and incredibly useful."—Lori Leibovich, executive lifestyle editor of The Huffington Post
"Catherine Crawford has written a great parenting book. I can't wait to have kids and apply all I have learned here. Wait—hold on. I'm being told I already have two kids. This is incredible news! I will begin applying immediately."—Adam Scott, actor, Parks and Recreation

For Tamper Tantrum, 2015 was all about honing all of the really interesting and successful things we'd done in the past—back when TT was a side project—and making it stronger and better as we grew into a stand-alone venture. Nowhere is this more visible than 2015's event in partnership with Cup North, where we brought some new things to the table (*cough*, coffee throwing) as well as reprising some older ideas that really struck a chord in previous years.
Many of us openly acknowledge, in a way that is ironically true to form, that our community often functions as a bit of an echo chamber. In the interest of bringing new ideas to the table, we returned to an old goal of ours from way back in 2012—to include, where possible, one speaker from a different industry that had a some overlap with our own. It was with great pleasure and excitement that we were able to bring Master Sommelier and Crew Cup recipient, Laurent Richet of Restaurant Sat Bains with Rooms to speak at 2015's Cup North event.
Whilst there are disagreements as to whether or not it is a worthwhile exercise to emulate other industries exactly*, there are definitely some questions to be asked and answered when looking at the comparative success of the wine industry in raising awareness of their product with the average consumer. In his talk, Laurent lays the groundwork for a better understanding of the similarities and differences between the wine and coffee industries, explains the structure of wine's sensory- and service-based accreditations, and explains the framework sommeliers use to taste and evaluate wine before offering some thoughts on what we, as coffee professionals, can do to achieve better consumer awareness.
*See Mat North's 2015 Cup North talk for a strong argument against employing other industries' paradigms.
Growing up in the Loire Valley, Laurent Richet attended the catering college in Saumur where he passed his Sommelier exam. After finishing his exams, Richet went on to work at some prestigious hotels including 'La Reserve de Beaulieu' in Beaulieu sur Mer, 'The Hotel de Paris' in Monaco, 'Celtic Manor Resort' in South Wales, 'The Breakers Resort' in Florida, USA, 'Hotel TerraVina' in the New Forest and now Restaurant Sat Bains with rooms in Nottingham.
During his career, Laurent has had the pleasure of working with incredibly talented and knowledgeable people who have motivated him in wanting to be the best he can be. All of his hard work paid off in 2010 when he won the Gastronomy Team of the Year competition and 4 years after starting the Master Sommelier, passed its final level, also gaining the Crew Cup.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's Islamist president made a strong show of unity with the military, standing by the country's top general and warning in a statement broadcast Friday against "slandering" the armed forces after leaks from a report that the president himself commissioned implicated troops in the killing of protesters.
The findings of the report — if confirmed, since the report itself has not been made public — are potentially embarrassing for the military, which has presented itself as the ally of protesters in the 18-day uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
The findings would also put President Mohammed Morsi in a sensitive position. After vowing to win justice for slain protesters in his election campaign, he commissioned the report soon after his inauguration in June, forming a fact-finding panel to investigate the deaths of more than 1,000 killed in the uprising and during the nearly 17-month rule by the military that followed Mubarak's fall. But now in office, he needs the backing of the powerful military, and following up on the mission's findings would likely bring a backlash from the generals.
In the statement aired Friday from a meeting the night before, Morsi stood beside army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, with the military's top brass lined up around him. El-Sissi staunchly denied any abuses by the military and both he and the president denounced "slanders" against the armed forces, though neither referred directly to the leaked report.
"I will not ever allow slanders in any way, shape or form or ... any means to attack any member of the armed forces," Morsi vowed.
Beyond the issue of the report, the high-profile meeting appeared to be putting an end, for now, to weeks of behind-the-scene tensions between the military and the presidency. The statements by the two leaders seemed to be a mutual recognition of the need to work together at a time of increasing polarization in the country that has threatened to slip into sustained bloody violence.
There have suggestions of friction between the military and the presidency over a string of issues, including the military's clampdown on tunnels between Egypt and Gaza — ruled by Hamas, an ally of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood — and over the fate of a border region claimed by Sudan, whose Islamist government is also close to the Brotherhood.
Some Egyptian media have presented the signs as pointing to a full-blown crisis between the two sides.
The military, Morsi's office and the Brotherhood have consistently denied any problems between them, accusing the media of stirring up divisions. Still, the reports fueled a perception of differences over the running of the country between the military and Egypt's first ever civilian president.
At the same time, the armed forces' popularity has surged. There have been increasingly vocal calls for the military to step in to halt the country's turmoil, mainly from some opponents of Morsi who see the army as a savior against Islamists they accuse of trying to dominate the country. Morsi's allies accuse the opposition of stirring up chaos to undermine the Islamists' election victories.
Abdullah el-Sinawi, a longtime commentator on military affairs, said "an escalating crisis" between the military and the presidency — including the fact-finding report — necessitated Thursday's meeting.
"It was an attempt to contain the negative impact of the cold war between the presidency and the Brotherhood on one side, and the armed forces on the other," he said. The declaration presented a "temporary truce," he said, because "neither can overcome the other."
International and local rights groups have long contended troops committed abuses against protests during and after the uprising. The military has touted itself as a protector of the revolution, since it refrained by wide crackdowns on protesters demanding Mubarak's ouster.
The report, finalized in late December, had more specific evidence and carried more weight because it was commissioned by the president. When it was handed over to the president, one member of the panel told The Associated Press it detailed the police role in killing most protesters — but also documented killings and other abuses by the military, a more sensitive topic.
This week, the British newspaper The Guardian reported that it obtained parts of the mission's findings describing the military's torturing of detained protesters, its role in the forced disappearance of others, and its possible responsibility for a number of killings of some who went missing and then turned up dead with signs of torture and beatings during the 18-day protests against Mubarak.
After their 90-minute meeting Thursday night, army chief el-Sissi and Morsi appeared to dismiss the reported findings, and presented a united front that suggested tension was behind them.
Morsi praised the military for "its great role in protecting the security and safety of this nation," and acknowledged its role in "protecting internal security."
Beyond vowing not to allow "slanders" of the military, Morsi spoke of greater cooperation with the military and also announced the long-expected promotion of senior military officers. He committed to consult closely with the military on national security issues and on development projects in the strategic Suez Canal area. His government has talked about Suez Canal projects as part of plans to increase foreign investment, but the military sees the zone as largely under its purview.
Morsi said development areas won't interfere with areas where the military operates, which are "protected and preserved."
El-Sissi said he found Morsi to be "understanding" of the military's concerns.
"I want to tell all those who listen to me that they must really watch out before defaming the military and its forces," el-Sissi said standing next to Morsi. "It is honorable, nationalist and loyal and is very affected by any defamation it is subjected to."
"I swear by God the armed forces since Jan. 25 (2011) ... didn't kill or order any killing, didn't cheat and didn't order any treachery, didn't betray and didn't order any betrayal," he said.
On Friday, Human Rights Watch urged Morsi to release the fact-finding report, saying it would be an acknowledgement of two years of military and police abuse and a way to stem a culture of impunity.
Trying military officers, as well as police, for alleged abuses remains a top demand by many revolutionary groups. However, the newly adopted, Islamist-backed constitution includes new clauses that ensure only the military can prosecute its own members.
Gamal Heshmat, a lawmaker representing the Muslim Brotherhood's political party in the legislature, said the top prosecutor's office should reveal the report "if it contains material that are useful for the trials" of those responsible for crimes.
Hossam Bahgat, director of the leading rights group the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, said the report was commissioned at a time when tension between Morsi and the leaders of the military was running high. But now Morsi has a clear interest in "maintaining support for his regime from the military."
He said Morsi should start an independent criminal investigation into the allegations or risk being complicit in a cover-up.
But, "at this moment, there is no political gain for Morsi if he is to act on these findings," Bahgat said. "Politics threaten to obstruct justice for these very serious allegations."

Following partnerships with rock band Pearl Jam last year and hip-hop group Deltron 3030 in June, Dogfish Head is once again collaborating with an iconic musical act for a limited edition beer release. The Milton, DE-based brewery is working with Grateful Dead Productions, the marketing arm of the eclectic rock band, to brew "American Beauty," a strong pale ale brewed with all-American hops and barley, as well as a special ingredient to be voted on by fans of band and brewery. Dogfish Head founder and president Sam Calagione told Brewbound.com that the brewery will produce 1,200-2,000 barrels of the beer – more than double its output for any other music-inspired collaboration brews – and hit the market in September 2013.
For Calagione, a long-time follower of Grateful Dead, the collaboration offered an opportunity to reach out to the band's passionate fan base, many of whom also share an affinity for Dogfish Head beer.
"If I see a trend of the two brands actually being tattooed onto people's bodies, that tells me that there's a good chance the collaboration will work," he said. "It's all about going after the followers of certain brands that we think have a high likelihood of digging our beers," he said.
Here is Dogfish Head's press release about the collaboration:
Milton, DE (October 16, 2012) — Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Grateful Dead, two pioneers who built their followings by connecting directly with beer lovers and music lovers, are collaborating on the newest beer in Dogfish's line of off-centered ales.
Working in that happy place between creative ideas and like-minded people, the off-centered brewery and free-spirited band have been trading ideas for a beer they're calling "American Beauty." They've settled on a strong pale ale with all-American hops and barley, and now they're asking their loyal fans to suggest a special ingredient – and the Dead-inspired story behind it.
"Grateful Dead Productions is extremely pleased to be partnering with Dogfish Head Craft Brewery on the American Beauty pale ale. We've looked for a long while for the perfect brewery to team up with for a Grateful Dead-inspired brew, and feel we've finally found the right fit. Aside from Dogfish's history with music-themed brews, we love their beer, and think it's the best around. Plus, these are really good people and are the type of folks we want to work with," says David Lemieux, legacy manager for Grateful Dead.
"The feedback the band got from Dead Heads was always an important factor in their shows," says Dogfish Founder and President Sam Calagione. "And at Dogfish, we've always thought of our pub regulars and brewery tour guests as an informal focus group, so we're sending a shout out to all those Dead Heads and Dogfish Heads by making them a driving force behind this beer."
Did you trade a bushel of fresh clementines for tickets to a two-night-stand at Long Beach Arena? Or maybe your dad first laid eyes on your mom sipping a cup of green tea in the parking lot of the legendary Cornell '77 show? Jog your memory, tell the story, and suggest the ingredient at the heart of that story. You could help bring this counterculture collaboration to life.
Suggestions for American Beauty's final ingredient will be taken online in December. A panel from the Dogfish Head and Grateful Dead teams will pick the ingredient they feel works best in the context of a strong pale ale recipe. The brewery and band hope to invite the fan who suggested the ingredient to Dogfish's coastal Delaware brewpub in the spring of 2013 to help brew a test batch.
"My wife, Mariah, and I went to our first Dead show together in the summer of '91," says Calagione, "and I've been listening to Workingman's Dead and Shakedown Street, two of the earliest albums I ever owned, on my morning kayak trips. It's amazing how timeless those albums are."
American Beauty is expected to hit taps and shelves throughout Dogfish's 27-state distribution network in October 2013. Stay tuned to www.dogfish.com for details on how to be a part of this grassroots brew.

Record-Breaking Number of Schwab Employees Embark on Community Service Projects
Public Company Information:
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thousands of Schwab employees and executives today will roll up their sleeves to help local charities in more than 150 cities across the United States as part of The Charles Schwab Corporation's 12th annual Schwab Volunteer event. This year's event is expected to have a record number of participants, with more than 4,600 Schwab employee volunteers, benefiting well over 200 charities coast to coast. Approximately 200 Schwab branch offices around the country will participate in the week-long event this year.
"Throughout the year, Schwab employees volunteer their sweat equity and intellectual capital to help nonprofit organizations build financial capability for the people they serve," said Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, president of Charles Schwab Foundation. "We see these community service efforts as an extension of what Schwab does every day, helping people make the most of their financial resources and achieve their goals. Schwab Volunteer Week represents a special company-wide effort to rally our troops, celebrate Schwab's culture of service and make an extra big impact in the communities where we live and work."
Many Schwab Volunteer Week projects are designed to help nonprofits work toward increasing financial capability and well-being for the people they serve, but Schwab employees can also sign up for a range of other, diverse volunteer projects. These include light construction, landscaping and gardening, painting and cleaning, and meal service. Benefiting organizations include:
- Youth development organizations such as Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Junior Achievement and Big Brothers Big Sisters;
- Public elementary and high schools;
- A wide variety of human services and economic development organizations, including Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill, the Salvation Army, Dress for Success, Meals on Wheels, Society of St. Vincent de Paul and Project Night Night.
In addition, Charles Schwab Foundation will provide each participating nonprofit organization an average grant of $500 as it has done during Volunteer Week in previous years.
"Schwab volunteers have long contributed to Habitat for Humanity. Our Denver ReStores support Habitat for Humanity's Homeownership Program through the sale of donated building materials and home furnishings. Schwab volunteers always bring a joy, energy and enthusiasm that make them a pleasure to work with, and they will be working hard to make the dream of home ownership a reality for low-income Denver-area families," said Alice Goble, manager of Habitat ReStore Volunteer Programs.
Employee volunteer photos will be posted throughout the week and can be viewed and downloaded here. To see additional ways Schwab employees donate their time and talents during Schwab Volunteer Week and throughout the year, watch this video.

The "Twilight" vampires sucked up another $62.3 million, "The Muppets" reemerged on the big screen with a strong $42 million, and a slew of quality films vied for moviegoers' attention this weekend.
Yet overall box office ticket sales were down 12 percent this Thanksgiving from the same five-day period in 2010.
What happened? The deep slate of family films from "Happy Feet Two" to "Arthur Christmas" to Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" could have splintered the audience – or their failure to do better collectively could signal a tougher, longer-term problem Hollywood has on its hands.
"I was pretty surprised by this. I just thought this was the perfect combination of films in the marketplace," analyst Paul Dergarabedian told The Associated Press. "Maybe there was just too much out there."
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1" racked up its domestic total to $221.3 million, and it's taken in $489.3 million around the world. But if you just look at the regular three-day weekends, it dropped 70 percent from its splashy opening last weekend, EW.com pointed out. And the penultimate movie in the Bella Swan saga is slightly behind where the third entry, "New Moon," was at the same point in its release.
U.S. & World
Richie Fay, the head of distribution for Summit Entertainment, said the series' audience has changed slightly: "Everybody's grown a little older, and I guess we lose a few of our patrons to age."
Kermit, Miss Piggy and the gang placed second in their first movie in 12 years. Disney distribution exec Dave Hollis said "the entire goal was to bring back the Muppets, and this great opening signifies that we've done just that."
But "Happy Feet Two" was not so merry in its second weekend with $18.4 million. It was followed at No. 4 by "Arthur Christmas" ($17 million) and "Hugo" ($15.4 million). George Clooney's "The Descendants" performed strongly in an expanded release, pulling in $9.2 million from just 433 theaters to place tenth.
On the whole, though, the Thanksgiving weekend revenues have slipped from a record $273 million in 2009 to $264 million in 2010 to $234 million this year.
The Hollywood Reporter cited the "glut of family-friendly titles." But the AP also raised another possibility: that the weekend's performance despite the good lineup, in an age of varied electronic entertainment, could mean that Hollywood might have to accept "diminished expectations."

Commercial fossil collectors once worked hand in hand with academic paleontologists, selling important finds to museums and universities for research collections. In November, however, the two groups clashed, as commercial collectors placed legally excavated and scientifically important specimens up for public auction.
The asking price for one major dinosaur specimen exceeded $5.5 million—more than most recession-hit museums could afford. The specimen went unsold, but the event raised many questions. Should commercial collectors be permitted to sell important fossils? Should the American government protect all significant fossils for scientific research? And what impact does the legal fossil trade have on science?
Join us for a live video chat with dinosaur experts as we discuss how the commercial fossil trade impacts science.

Don't forget to get yourself tested on National HIV Testing Day, kids! Hah, what a scam. I found the below in the comments section of an article on some Lybian doctors and nurses who were facing execution for supposedly infecting their charges with HIV (accidentally). I am a huge fan Dr Maniotis. He's brilliant and he knows what he's talking about- pay attention to what he says before you go in for one of these tests!
Dr. Andrew Maniotis Says:

A brief History of AIDS
This year, in 2006, it has been 22 years since HIV, "a variant of a known human cancer virus," was announced by media press release as being the probable cause of AIDS by Dr. Robert Gallo and Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler.
Thus it has been about 22 years since Dr. Gallo rushed that same day to patent the first "HIV" test kit, and was subsequently convicted of scientific misconduct by the Dingell Commission and the Office of Scientific Integrity of the NIH for attempting to steal Luc Montagnier's so-called "HIV-virus isolate [1]."
It has also been about 22 years since chimp colonies were injected with "isolates" of "HIV" obtained from AIDS patients, but have yet to become ill, as they sit in their 27 million dollar retirement homes [2].
At the beginning of HIV testing, it was known that "68% to 89% of all repeatedly reactive ELISA (HIV antibody) tests represent false positive results among sperm donors [3], and 14 years ago, it was reported that "HIV-sequences" exist in normal in human, chimpanzee, and rhesus monkey DNAs" [4].
That same year, it was reported that the hepatitis B vaccine causes false positive "HIV" test results [5].
It has been about 14 years since The Veterans Affairs Cooperative Study Group reported that "AZT disproportionately harmed Blacks and Hispanics, and provided no benefit to the quelling of advancing immune suppression in Caucasians" [6].
It has also been about 14 years since it was known that half of infants that test "HIV" positive at birth serorevert (reverse) their "HIV-positive status within 18 months [7].
It has been about 12 years since the announcement of the Concorde study reported:
"The results of Concorde do not encourage the early use of zidovudine in symptom-free HIV-infected adults. They also call into question the uncritical use of CD4 cell counts as a surrogate endpoint for assessment of benefit from long-term antiretroviral therapy" [8].
It has been 11 years since it was reported that flu vaccines cause false positive "HIV" test results [9].
About 10 years ago, it was confirmed again that about 67% of infants that test "HIV" positive at birth serorevert (reverse) their "HIV-positive status by 18 months [10].
It has been about 9 years since it was reported that "no seroconversions" were observed among 175 HIV-discordant couples (where one partner tests positive, one negative), for a total of approximately 282 couple-years of follow up in a 10- year study [11].
It has been about 7 years since it was published in The Journal, AIDS, that children born to ZDV-treated mothers "are more likely to have a rapid course of HIV-1 infection compared with children born to untreated mothers, as disease progression and immunological deterioration are significantly more rapid and the risk of death is actually increased during the first 3 years of life" [12].
It has also been about 7 years since it was known that goats and cows test "HIV-positive" [13]. It has been about 4 years since the announcement in The Journal of Virology regarding the severe toxicity of saquinovir and other protease inhibitors [14], and about 2 years since the announcement in the New England Journal of Medicine that vitamin supplements can ward off progression to AIDS in the absence of HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy) [15].
It has been about 2 years since the announcement of the failure of AIDSVAX, the 120 million dollar effort to vaccinate against "HIV" [16], and 2 years since the Red Cross reported that even after repeated testing using different test kits, low-risk populations, such as blood donors (or military recruits) will typically yield 12 (PCR) positive or 2 (ELISA) positive results out of 37,000,000 samples, leaving potentially 10 out of 12 false positives, depending on which test kit you believe [17].
It has more than a year since the announcement that the government's chief of AIDS research, Dr. Edmond Tremont, rewrote a safety report on a U.S.-funded drug study to change its conclusions and delete negative information, and later, ordered the research resumed over the objections of his staff, so that George W. Bush's pharmaceutical friend\'s $500 million dollar plan to distribute nevirapine to African women would proceed, even though the drug's approval was withdrawn in the U.S. because of excessive toxicity [18]. It only has been a year or so since the Institute of Medicine covered up and trivialized Tremont's criminal behavior, according to Johnathan Fishbein, who blew the whistle, and was subsequently fired from his position as safety officer for the Nevaripine trials that Tremont, his boss, fudged [19].
This summer at the Toronto International AIDS conference, Barre-Sinoussi (one of Luc Montagnier's original group from whom Dr. Gallo hijacked LAV, later to be called "HIV") "came out of the closet", and said:
"It is not clear if therapeutic vaccines might be useful, since 15 trials to date have not demonstrated definitive evidence of improved outcomes."
This month it was announced that "viral load is only able to predict progression to disease in 4% to 6% of HIV-positives studied, challenging much of the basis for current AIDS science and treatment policy" [20, 21].
But the most amazing thing I have witnessed since I began following AIDS in the early 1980′s, was a documentary I saw the other night [22] in which CNN's Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour is filmed walking through villages in Kenya, remarking about the fact that the impoverished orphaned children don't have enough watered down gruel to drink down the deadly toxic drug nevirapine, and the failed anti-cancer drug AZT.
In the documentary, Amanpour also provides the viewer with an interview with Stephen Lewis about his perspectives as the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, a post he has held since June 2001 as a Commissioner for the World Health Organization's Commission on the Social Determinants of Health, as Senior Advisor to the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University in New York, Director of the Stephen Lewis Foundation, and recipient of many awards and 22 honorary degrees including a Companion of the Order of Canada, Maclean's Magazine 2003 "Canadian of the Year," and in Time Magazine's April 2005 100 most influential people in the world.
After looking into Lewis's impressive credentials, I noticed that in a speech Lewis gave at the closing session of the XVI International AIDS conference in Toronto this summer, he presented a list of issues regarding AIDS in the world and especially in Africa. In his speech, Lewis spent one of the sessions vilifying The South African Minister of Health for advocating foods that are important for nutrition and health.
The sixth most important issue, according to Lewis, was:
" Number 6: It is now accepted as unassailable truth that people in treatment need nutritious food supplements to maintain and tolerate their treatment. And yet, there is a growing clamour from People Living with AIDS that decent nutrition simply isn't available, leaving them in a desperate predicament. The World Food Programme released a study at this conference calculating the cost of food supplementation at 66 cents a day for an entire family; what madness is it that denies the World Food Programme the necessary money?"
In other words, "the growing clamour" from people living with AIDS, as Mr. Lewis described with such touching humanity, is another way of saying "we are hungry- we are starving for food and water." Those people can't possibly be receiving the amount of protein, in either vegetable or animal form, to sustain immunity. Both in Amanpour's documentary, and in Lewis's lofty speech before the International AIDS conference where he lists food as number 6 in importance (following of course more important things like circumcision and microbicides to smear on African people\'s genitals), I was struck with the intractable paradox of how the AIDS establishment now proposes to dose all these children with highly toxic immune suppressive drugs such as nevirapine and AZT, when they don't have enough food and water to wash down the pills. The cart is before the horse here, if you see what I mean.
When considering assays in human patients which diagnose "AIDS" by quantifying the number of lymphocytes/ml, patients are not considered to have an AIDS-defining illness if thy have suffered from chronic starvation, as these individuals are known to possess a helper T-cell ratio in the AIDS-defining range or even lower (

FDA's Midnight Mischief Heightens Mercury Risk to Pregnant Women, Infants
Fish is loaded with valuable nutrients, including protein, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce harmful cholesterol, lower blood pressure and prevent blood clots, and selenium, a trace mineral that helps the body prevent cellular damage.
But some ocean-dwelling fish also contain high levels of mercury, a powerful neurotoxin that is especially dangerous to the fetus and infants
In March 2004, under pressure from Environmental Working Group and other scientists and advocates, the federal Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency issued a joint advisory warning that women and young children should eat no more than 12 ounces of all seafood a week and should restrict their consumption of albacore tuna to 6 ounces per week. The warning added that women and children should not eat any shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish because of their high mercury levels.
Internal FDA and EPA documents just obtained by EWG show that officials of the FDA are secretly mounting an eleventh-hour drive to eliminate the 2004 warnings on mercury in fish, a move that would benefit the commercial fishing industry.
EWG has obtained a draft FDA report that claims that almost every child and about 85 percent of adults with heart disease would benefit from increased consumption of all fish, including high-mercury species. (FDA 2008) The FDA document argues that "the net effect on fetal neurodevelopment from eating commercial fish containing methylmercury…is not necessarily adverse and could in fact be beneficial...." (FDA 2008)
The document asserts that pregnant women should eat at least 12 ounces of fish per week, a complete reversal of the current guidance.
The FDA report has met with fierce opposition from EPA scientists, according to other internal documents obtained by EWG.
In a scathing memo dated December 5, Dr. Peter W. Preuss, director of the Office of Research and Development at EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) wrote that he and his colleagues had "very serious concerns about this document [the FDA report], which is scientifically flawed and inadequate in several aspects."
"It is not a product that NCEA will endorse or approve as it does not reach the level of scientific rigor routinely demonstrated by EPA," Preuss wrote. He warned against releasing the FDA document or basing any policy decisions on its scientific assessment.
Without more information, we cannot make an exhaustive evaluation of FDA's analysis. Based on the documents we have seen, some gaps and flawed reasoning are obvious. For example, the FDA paper makes no distinction among various species of fish, ignoring many scientific studies showing that species vary widely in their accumulation of mercury. (Letter from EPA NCEA to EPA office of Water regarding FDA's draft assessment, Dec. 5, 2008.)
FDA officials have tried before to mislead consumers about mercury in fish.
In 2001, EWG learned that FDA was on the verge of caving in to pressure from the tuna industry to keep tuna off the list of fish whose consumption should be limited. FDA officials argued that any warning about fish consumption would cause women to avoid eating fish altogether. EWG obtained transcripts of focus groups conducted by FDA that showed otherwise.
The fishing industry has campaigned aggressively to overturn the FDA/EPA fish consumption warning. In October 2007, a group called Healthy Mothers Health Babies disseminated a report that urged pregnant women and others to eat more tuna. The report was quickly discredited when it was revealed National Fisheries Institute, a fishing industry trade group had funded key aspects of it.
A Harvard Medical School team's study published last May found that 3-year-olds whose mothers had high mercury levels in their bodies scored lower on intelligence tests than other children. The study found some benefits of fish to counteract mercury toxicity. Team leader Dr. Emily Oken of Harvard Medical School wrote that "If mercury contamination were not present, the cognitive benefits of fish intake would be greater." (Oken, Radesky 2008)
Biomonitoring studies show that as many as 1 in 6 pregnant American women have excessive mercury concentrations. (Mahaffey, Clickner 2004) The placenta transports mercury to the developing fetus, causing permanent damage to the developing brain and nervous system.
Women who ate more than 2 servings of fish a week, as the FDA report proposes, would have 7 times higher concentrations of mercury than women who avoided fish entirely. (Mahaffey, Clickner 2004). Advising pregnant women to raise their fish consumption would certainly increase the number of pregnancies at risk of mercury poisoning.
The FDA must be prevented from pulling off the midnight mischief it contemplates. To the contrary, the agency should redouble its efforts to encourage women to eat a balanced diet rich in low-mercury fish and other safe sources of omega-3 fatty acids, such as wild salmon, shrimp, fortified eggs, margarine and walnuts. Most studies on the benefits and hazards of fish consumption have concluded that low-mercury fish are the only advisable option. (Budtz-Jorgensen 2007; Choi 2008; Domingo 2007; Ginsberg 2000; Mahaffey 2004; Mahaffey K.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On World Hepatitis Day, we reaffirm our commitment to combating the "silent epidemic" of viral hepatitis.
Globally, one in 12 people has chronic hepatitis B or C infection. About 1 million people die each year from chronic viral hepatitis. Viral hepatitis is the leading cause of liver cancer in the United States and worldwide. And while it is the most common blood-borne infection and a leading infectious cause of death, claiming the lives of some 15,000 Americans each year, viral hepatitis often remains unrecognized as a public health priority.
Thanks to advances in science and policy, we have made progress with combating this silent epidemic. Hepatitis B and C are both preventable – there is a vaccine for hepatitis B and effective treatments. Hepatitis C is curable for many people, and, with the rapidly improving treatment landscape, we have hope for a higher cure rate in the near future.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced it will renew its landmark Viral Hepatitis Action Plan for 2014-2016 to strengthen existing strategies to prevent new cases. The new plan will help ensure that people who are already infected receive testing and linkage to care and treatment. The Affordable Care Act, by requiring health plans to offer certain free preventive services, also provides tremendous opportunities to expand access to viral hepatitis testing, care, and treatment services.
Early detection and treatment of chronic hepatitis B and C can reduce disease progression, limit transmission to others, and prevent serious liver disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommend that adults born between 1945 and 1965 be tested for Hepatitis C.
Talk with your doctor about whether you should be tested for hepatitis B or C. You can also take an online risk assessment at http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/riskassessment.
Don't let hepatitis be a silent killer any longer.

The Shiflett Brothers, Brandon and Jarrod, have been sculpting in the gaming and statue industry for almost 15 years. From their representations of iconic Marvel Comics characters for Bowen Designs to their more recent original concept sculptures, the brothers have been in love with what they do. They have sculpted statue projects for Moore Creations, ToyBiz, and Dynamic Forces, among many others. Brandon and Jarrod are very excited to be sitting on the Jury for Spectrum 18: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art.
"The Shiflett Brothers are producing some of this hobbie's most incredible collectibles. The artistry of their work is only surpassed by the unique and energetic style in which they sculpt each of their figures and this gives their work a completely spontaneous and fresh aesthetic. I am very pleased to have some of their exceptional work in my collection."

With integrated working pressure indication (DELTA-plus)
Monitoring of filters, compressors and pumps in:
The differential pressure gauges of the DELTA-line product family are primarily used for the monitoring of low differential pressures where there are high requirements in terms of one-sided overpressure and static pressure.
Typical markets for these products are the shipbuilding industry, process heating technology, the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning industries, the waster/wastewater industry, and machine building and plant construction. For these, the main function of the measuring instruments is the monitoring of filters, compressors and pumps.
Often in these applications, alongside the display of the differential pressure, the current working pressure is also relevant. For this reason, a working pressure indication is integrated within the DELTA-plus differential pressure gauge as standard. The two local, easily readable, mechanical displays enable the simultaneous reading of the working and the differential pressure.
Furthermore, this saves on an additional measuring and sealing point, reducing additional expense for piping and mounting.
The robust aluminium case and shatterproof window enable a long service life of the product, even under harsh ambient conditions.
As a result of the low pressure range of 0 … 160 mbar, the instrument can also be used for applications with low differential pressures. A further key feature is the high accuracy of up to 1.6 % which is important for most applications.
The new and functional design completes the appearance of the measuring instrument.
