Project ProFile: Richie Cunningham's Savvy Travel Tips
The accomplished pro talks about how he stays on his game, despite a busy schedule aimed at a first-time Kona start.
Richie Cunningham is a no-nonsense kind of guy. Inspired by his brother, Cunningham's interest in triathlon began at age 15 and rapidly evolved into a passion. Since then, he has become a dominant force at all distances. In 2013 alone, Cunningham won both IRONMAN 70.3 Galveston and IRONMAN 70.3 St. Croix. He also had seven podium finishes, two of them after suffering a broken elbow when he was struck by a car mid-season.
"Even when injured, there are a lot of things you can do to keep fit. I guess you've just got to have a positive attitude," Cunningham says of the blip in his training. That kind of optimism not only helped him spring back quickly, but carried the athlete on to several more impressive finishes. Shortly after his injury, he placed second at IRONMAN 70.3 Austin with the fastest bike split and, just this year, finished second at IRONMAN 70.3 Auckland and fourth at IRONMAN 70.3 Panama. Between all of his podiums, and the world-wide travel necessary to compete at so many events a year, Cunningham has developed a few strategies to stay on top. Rudy Project sat down with him to pick his brain.
Rudy Project: You've obviously got some sort of system in place to keep your sanity while traveling. Do you have any tips you could share?
Richie Cunningham: There are a few areas where I think a lot of people make mistakes. One is staying hydrated on the plane and while traveling in general. Another is not getting too worked up over missed training. People say, "ah, I've got to train, I've got to train! I've missed the run, I've missed the swim!" You can do something light, but basically a travel day is a rest day. There's no point killing your body and destroying six or seven weeks of training. You've got to relax a little bit.
That's a good point. Travel can add stress, which, compounded with the pressure of an upcoming race, can put anyone on edge.
I think another big thing is that people pack everything in their backpack and they walk around the airport lugging it around. If you carry a heavy backpack around for a few hours, when you get to a race your shoulders will be really tired. Then when you go to swim, you'll feel really off. It's like you've been doing a five-hour weight session walking around the airport. So I always try to use wheeled carts when I travel.
I used to be in the army and I would carry my backpack a lot. After being away for a week marching the whole time, my shoulders would develop a lot more. It can also pull your body out of alignment. Your shoulders become stretched back from the straps, so it kind of puts you out of position for swimming and what you're used to.
Speaking of travel, one place you may be headed this year is Hawaii for the IRONMAN World Championship. What made you want to make the jump to full-distance racing?
It hadn't really interested me in the past, but this year IRONMAN introduced IRONMAN Boulder. I did Arizona five or six years ago and I did OK—I think I was fourth—but it really hurt me. I made a deal with myself that I would never do another IRONMAN again until I was absolutely ready, or wanted to do it. Now that it's up in Boulder, it seemed right. And, if I'm going to do Boulder, I might as well and try to qualify for Kona, so I guess it was just time. I'm getting on in my career, and you've got to do these races for your professional career. I thought this year was as good a chance as any.
Do you have any tips for athletes looking to move from shorter-course triathlon to IRONMAN?
I think I'll be the one searching for tips! I don't have much experience with it myself, but I guess you've got to be willing to learn. I'm a rookie when it comes to IRONMAN, so I'll be seeking knowledge from more experienced guys like Crowie (Craig Alexander) and Ben Hoffman. In IRONMAN 70.3 you can get through on basic nutrition. I've done the same thing for 10 years with 70.3 and it's worked. But nutrition is such a big part of getting through an IRONMAN; you can be as fit as you want, but if you mess up your nutrition, you can mess up your whole day.

The title itself means three things:
- Kedada More than 30 members of the Spanish community decided to meet in this fantastic village in Galicia.
- Pano Panoramio and photography were an excuse to meet the friends we made within the Panoramio community over the years.
- Gastronómica. Spanish people always meet around food and this weekend O Grove was celebrating its annual seafood party.
Nano and Paco were the hosts of the event and we are extremely excited about everything that happened. This weekend you can still enjoy the seafood party in the village of O Grove, so if you have no better plans (this is difficult) go there and look for Nano. He will be more than happy to show you the place.
We had a complete Agenda, we enjoyed food, we photographed every single corner of the area with our cameras (if you want to see the photos start at Nano's and follow the thread of the community), we had a reception with the authorities and most important of all... I discovered that Panoramio is not a community about places and photography. It is a community of friends about places and photography.
If you want to see when other meetings happen or want to organize your own... visit the Rendezvous section in the Panoramio forum, and do not forget to invite us (we love meeting the Panoramio community)

(CNN) -- The New York Police Department's controversial stop-and-frisk policy violates constitutional rights and must be altered, a federal judge ruled Monday.
Judge Shira A. Scheindlin's ruling stems from a class-action lawsuit claiming that the city's police officers routinely stopped minority men, particularly blacks and Latinos, without legal reasons.
Scheindlin said that an outside monitor will be appointed to oversee changes to the policy.
The police department had said that the policy -- in which police stop, question and frisk people they considered suspicious -- is used to deter crime. The practice is widely criticized.
The lead plaintiff in the case is David Floyd, a medical student who was stopped twice, once in the middle of the afternoon when he was in front of his home in the Bronx, according to the suit, which was filed in 2008.
The trial, which ended in May, featured nine weeks of testimony, including from men who say police stopped them for no reason and from police officers who say quotas forced them to make unnecessary stops.
Closing arguments gave conflicting accounts of stop-and-frisk incidents. While attorneys for the city argued that one man was stopped because he appeared to be smoking marijuana, the plaintiffs' attorneys argued that he was simply talking on a cell phone.
Another man was reportedly stopped because he fit the description of a wanted man in a high-crime area with a recent string of burglaries, but the plaintiffs' attorneys argued that he was more than a mile from where the burglaries occurred and that the last burglary in that area occurred more than 25 days earlier.
According to the New York Civil Liberties Union, the police department logged its 5 millionth stop-and-frisk under Mayor Michael Bloomberg in March.

Watch Episodes
@ Kruciphix thanks for the input. I use to do this years ago so I know it is a thankless job. I have my fav sites I use to watch and did notice something, thanks for filling in the blank.
jerkgently, SonOfWoody99 shared this links in the comments to show us why there isn't any new openload links: https://torrentfreak.com/huge-video-hoster-openload-stops-paying-uploaders-190419/
thanks for the effort but those flix555 dont seem to not work for me, vidoza works but its slow and stuttering. openload is ok if its a live link but i notice a lack of new openload lately. just an obsevation
I agree streamango, me that's what i'm using for now
@cdawg4207 I like streamango when possible
I liked this
where is the best place to watch/download with openload gone? quality wise
there is weird and then there is "Beard man", Timothy Dalton and Cave=women sex weird.
@Kyndryd yes there is going to be a season 3, season 2 timeline is set just a few years prior to the first episode of the original Star Trek. Many die hard fans were crying because there is no mention of a Starship Discovery, a Michael Burnham, nor a spor drive in the original series and were butt hurt about all of it so they needed a way to explain why they are never mentioned in the original that would still allow for this series to continue.
HOLY HELL - I really NEED to see wherre they go with this.
Jesus mary and joseph that was bloody heart wrenching!
@vcoll - your answer is in the episode. I do not see a Season 3, but I could be wrong. The thing I liked about this? It showed us how Captain Pike ended up in the 'chair'.
how bout some fresh links over here
I see everyone went to the same GI Joe/Stormtrooper firing range.
jasmine Guy - life has not been kind.
And by ads, I mean in-video commercials.
Ads? Come on, I expect more of a service I don't even directly pay for than that.
Btw he isn't my friend XD but of course you would think that. Just because we agree on something doesn't means we are friends LOL
I almost did nt recognize "Glenn" - since he had a face.. and a head.
**KODI USERS BREAK OPENLOAD**OPENLOAD STOPS PAYING UPLOADERS ON APR 15**I'm going to keep putting this link up so the news won't get swallowed: https://torrentfreak.com/huge-video-hoster-openload-stops-paying-uploaders-190419/
@Recondlte oooooh my God, another asshole has coming to town!!! You are brilliant, you are genius and soooooo hillarius!!! And as i see, a new member, right about the time i wrote about Kruciphix. What you wrote are nonesense from the begining to the end. If you want quality, get a job and buy Netflix, if you want to do our job send a message at the admin, if you know what we are all doing here, you are God, but if not, you are another ridicuous clown like your friend.
SonOfWoody99 thanks. i was wondering why there where no links of openload and now i know
@Tonia1 Good fucking lord, you're a genuine crazy person! What a treat. What you aren't, though, is a stream ripper. Or an encoder. You aren't a black, gray or even white hatter. You aren't a member of any scene crew that provides any bonafide useful service to anyone. In short: YOU DON'T DO "WORK" anywhere in the pirate show world. You copy/paste other people's "work," (which was also copy/pasted across dozens of domains by that point), just like everyone else - BUT, *unlike* at least MOST everyone else, you seem to think that you're above taking—literally—5 seconds to make sure the sources that you're pasting aren't UTTER SHIT. Quality being nonexistent, YOU then spam—yes, SPAM—your "stolen" sloppy-five-hundreds' "work" all over and call it "contributing," to the universal frustration of most if not every single user on this domain, (and, I'd wager, of every other site on which you and your links like to lurk). And then, even more hilariously, you get butt hurt when random passersby with a modicum of intelligence level perfectly justified criticism at you for it! Let's not forget the real kicker here: GOOD quality sources are ubiquitous. What's your excuse for endlessly reposting awful ones? Do you just not know how to use search engines? See, you're part of a problem; you waste people's TIME in an age where performing nearly any service nearly instantaneously costs a trivial afterthought and $0.0002 of bandwidth - because somebody was going to do it on their own anyway. People like you are what continue to make the internet memeworthy. Don't stop! But people like you are also what make otherwise useful tools—like this site—far less functional and useful than they could and should be. You can stop THAT part.
Ok Tonia1 Here is the logic : How can Hai5hi5ei can steel you work when he is the first one to upload (not all the time but most of the time) You want example look right here he was the one to upload links XD matri was the second.. And 2 question can spam Bots can comments? because hai5hi5ei commented twice. And second question how do you know they if they are spam bots or not? For real HOW? And you are a waste of time and mind ( trying to explain something to someone stupid always is) but since i have a lot of time to waste well here i am... You are a spammer too you spam the same links over and over again and the same comment about hi5hi5ei and matri. (And i'm not saying that i don't spam so don't say i did) You have your own links you can use so how do you know that their links have virus?? Simple question and yet you never answered it (don't say you did because i looked and you didn't) you talk about respect you said i was i piece of... human being while i didn't even mentionned you XD Common Start thinking before writing something.. And Just to answer your question no i'm not a retard. You should just stop answering my comments, your comments makes no sense XD Bye have a nice day or night!!!
Uh @VCOLL bro you do realize next episode is the last one right.....and it wasn't cancelled it ended just where the producers and actors wanted it too so what is it your saying exactly....guess your just another person on here who just says stuff without doing any research since smallville was never classified as cancelled seemingly like gotham now they ended where they wanted to.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY OPENLOAD IS GONE, READ THIS BREAKING STORY https://torrentfreak.com/huge-video-hoster-openload-stops-paying-uploaders-190419/
@Kruciphix My God...You are a retard? Seriously? After so many months, you haven't realise that those 2 are NOT uploaders but spam bots that steal our work?You don't believe me? Ask polferis, or polish. So either you are indeed a retard, or you are the person who uses those two bots, i really can't find any other logical explanation for your attidute and empathy. And yes, you are really not a waste of time, but a waste of mind, so kiss my ass goodbye
faker. but nice axes and good grouping..
OH i frogot one last thing Tonia1 you said ''Really, it's a waste of time to answer you....'' so why your still answering me?
WOW Tonia1 first day by day REALLY i wasn't even talking about you right now i was talking in general, second in this web site i haven't seen a lot of people who doesn't like me in fact a lot of people said that they agree with me when i'm talking about you XD You are one the the uploaders that doesn't even rescpect othe uploaders so you can't really talk with your hai5hi5ei and matrilinear opinion we get it and you don't respect them.. Btw i did thank you for uplaoding links when someone ask but you don't really care about that because i defend Hai5hi5ei and matri (2 UPLOADERS BTW) witch you don't respect.. YOU ONLY WANT ATTENTION. Your are in no position to talk about respect... Your have your opinion aboutthe 2 uploaders and we have ours.. I'll stop complaining about you when you stop complaining about these 2 uploaders. Oh and i'm grateful like i said i did thank you and i'm grateful to hai5hi5ei too but you are not, you can't even admit when you are wrong XD. And now the one who tries to be kind to everyone who deserves it is out BYE
@Kruciphix of course, you are the main reason that we the uploadres, don't respect viewers like you. Day by day you talk about me, you complain about me and, yet, i have no complains from the other uploaders, not even the admin of this site. Not to say about the messages that i have from people that thanking me for doing what i do. So, talk as much as you want, moan as much as you want, i ll continue to be an uplader, and you ll continue to be an ungrateful piece of.....human being
First catch it live i have cable i can't catch every tv show that i watch live. second ''disrespect and shows you dont care about the work going into making this possible for all of us to use'' really I just wrote that some uploaders disrespect other uploaders and even some of us because we respect the uploader that they don't... And finally i'm complaining about the fact that there are no links 2 hours after the show aris live for 2 reasons first i'm impatient (Can you respect that?) and second because new episodes are usually uploaded 5-10 minutes after they aired live sometime 1 hour.. So stop saying that we disrespect uploaders because for me i will respect people that respect me and others....
Also, many of these uploads still have commercials...
There's no openload links anymore?
whats the point of comming on here and complaining there are no links 2 hours after a show airs live? or about how every link has commercials...if it means so much to you just catch it live...i totally agree with @figaro...this is a free to use site so all uploaders are indeed doing us a favour..so to complain about commercials or prompt uploading is tantamount to disrespect and shows you dont care about the work going into making this possible for all of us to use...
Well figaro the uploaders could stop uploading the same links over and over again when they know it's not a good one + I respect uploaders but when they deserve it. Some uploaders don'tt even respect other uploaders btw. So i'll respect the uploaders that respect me and others (including other uploaders) but beside that no.
RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked: 11x8 https://myseries4you.com/episodes/rupauls-drag-race-untucked-season-11-episode-8/
Seriously, people need to stop treating uploaders like shit. They're doing us a favor by posting anything at all. "IT HAS COMMERCIALS AGAIN!! IF I WANTED COMMERCIALS I WOULD HAVE WATCHED ON TV!!!!!!!" Jesus Christ, you sound like spoiled children. And you can skip the damn commercials. Stop being so ungrateful and entitled. This is a free service, the uploaders don't owe you ANYTHING.
Interesting ending but wtf happened to michael?
Its all comming together. Penguin finally has a reason to wear a monacle, batgirl got a name to remind her who she can trust, catwoman has a legit reason to feel abandoned ang batboy is off to find his inner BATMAN. After that i wonder if the show will get canceled like smallville was after clark went full superman?
Hellfist made a point, i havnt been thanking the free posters mainly cause i figured that uploaders got paid for their links. I apologize, THANKYOU FOR THE DAILY UPLOADS OF MY SHOWS. this site has allowed us to DROP OUR CABLE. SUPERGIRL. GOTHAM. TWILIGHT ZONE. FLASH. SUPERNATURAL. ORVIL. DISCOVERY. LEGENDS O TOMORROW. ARROW. DAILY SHOW. ALIENNEWSDESK. Are my fave shows and thursdays are the bug nights for me. THANKS AGAIN. wish i could upload my dvd collection but i think i need a computer for that, But i am gratefull to the true uploaders here...KIFLOM. SINCERELY, VCOLL
@wojo. Thanks that helps. Openload vanished no links at all but stream mango works. I us xbox to watch this site so popups n wotnot are a non isue for me just wish my internet didnt crash so much lol
Top links are newest, the number on the right doesn't mean pretty much anything. Most of the sites are filled with garbage ads, malware and other crap. Most should work (with proper use of adblocker, scriptblocker, firewall and dns sinkhole) if content wasn't flagged and removed but safest ones are openload, vshare and maybe streamango.
I still dont get how the links work, i see DOZENS of links with 0 , 1 , or 2s to the far right, i allways scroll don to the middle thinking links can only be viewed by a set number at a time. Lately i just figured openload. Vizi & streammango are real links while the rest is clickbait. How off am i?

Interview with Michael Schneider, Mobile Roadie
Story by Benjamin F. Kuo
If you're a music artist or band, and you want to create your own fan app for the iPhone, Android, or iPad, you're looking at hiring an app development firm, spending six months, and $100,000--right? Actually, no---thanks to Santa Monica-based Mobile Roadie. Mobile Roadie, headed by Michael Schneider, develops tools that make easy for non-programmers to create their own mobile apps. As Michael tells us, it's now as simple as running the firm's app creation tools, and releasing your app to the world. Mobile Roadie's mobile app tools power mobile apps from Madonna, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beatles LOVE, and the Los Angeles Kings--and the firm's investors include Ashton Kutcher, among others. We sat down with Michael to hear more about his company.
Describe what Mobile Roadie does?
Michael Schneider: The high level is that we're taking something that is normally very expensive and time consuming, and making it simple and cost effective. Our software lets non-technical folks make an app in about an hour. You can do the work once, and it can go to iPhone, Android, and a few other devices shortly.
How did this all come about?
Michael Schneider: I was running a design agency, Fluid Design, in Santa Monica, which I started in high school. I ran it for almost a decade. In 2008, I was getting lots of requests from people wanting iPhone applications, but no one wanted to spend the $50,000 to $100,000 needed to build something from scratch, or spend the six months it would take. Most apps are about socialization of content, and displaying different media in those apps, and sending out some push notifications, so it really didn't make sense to make that all from scratch. Our idea was making that expensive, time consuming process into something that was simple, and costs less than $1000 a year. You can have the app live in a week, and you can do the work yourself.
You've got lots of high profile brands using your apps, how did you manage to sign up so many high profile clients?
Michael Schneider: It's a combination of luck and timing, and great investors, really. The luck was Taylor Swift signing up organically in late 2009, which was our first major artist. Taylor actually came in through the front door, and just signed up on our web site. Then, Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager, and Ashton Kutcher invested in late 2009, which added Madonna and Ashton's connections, getting us into the right circles in the celebrity arena to get on their radar. That gave us a leg up in terms of product visibility, and we were able to go into major record labels and major sports teams, and were on the radar well before other people talked to them.
Can you talk a bit about how your app development tools work?
Michael Schneider: People develop the apps themselves, and it's incredibly flexible. If you look at the Katy Perry app, and compare it to Madonna's app, they're nothing alike. However, they're all built using our system, and were built by a non-technical person. Artists don't want to do this from scratch, and they don't want to get ripped off and pay for something they don't need. It's all about socialization of content, display of content, and community. Our apps do that extremely well. We now have 3,000 apps and 18 million downloads, and we have a really good vantage point of what is working, and what is not, and we're constantly evolving and improving. We also handle if Apple or Google come out with new software, instead of having to call a developer asking them what it will cost to support those changes, we've already handled all of that. We handle all of the technology for them, and let them focus on content and community.
Having powered so many apps, do you have a feel for what makes a particular app successful?
Michael Schneider: It's a couple of things. A lot of it is getting it out there and downloaded, and getting people to come back. For getting it out there, there are a wide variety of marketing tools, and lots of sharing happening, so that when people log into Facebook or Twitter they can see that happening, so that they'll also want to participate in the community. Sharing to others on Facebook or Twitter draws more people into the app. There are lots of tools for an app to market itself. To get people to come back, there are some critical things we do. If you post on something, and someone comments back on that post, you get a push notification, akin to Facebook telling you someone posted on your wall. That brings people back in. We also have clients keeping their content up to date, and keeping the app fresh, so that people come back. The best apps are very good at all of that. On the high end, people like Taylor Swift and Madonna are good at collecting email addresses and tracking CRM data, seeing what people are watching and sharing, and what they care about. They can get all of that information through our dashboard.
You mentioned a few investors--who else is backing the firm?
Michael Schneider: The high profile ones in LA are Mike Jones, at Science Inc. and MySpace, Ashton Kutcher, Guy Oseary, who is Madonna's manager, and Rodger Berman.
Finally, what's the next big thing for you?
Michael Schneider: We just launched an iPad app for Madonna. We've also got lots of things to come with the iPad, and some tricks up our sleeve around making our app and content available on more smartphones, aside from iPhone and Android. One of the other harder problems we're tackling is how you sell physical goods on a mobile device. There are some people doing that really well, but most people haven't solved that problem. We have at least 3 more iterations this year, with lots more in the pipeline.
Thanks for the time!

Stabilizing Somalia - the development moment
The gathering of world leaders in London last week to consider the fate of Somalia may be heralding a new development moment for the war-torn country. But we are in unchartered waters: we know very little about Somalia's economy.
First, from a development viewpoint, there is no such thing as one Somalia. Ironically, the unrecognized Somaliland entity [see the Somaliland success story in "Yes Africa Can" ] has enjoyed stability and democratic governance, pursuing classic development interventions (service delivery through the state, infrastructure investment, capacity building …). [In addition, Somaliland appears to have very good statistics.]
By contrast, South Central Somalia, where the capital city and official -albeit transition- government of Somalia are located, is a quintessential failed state plagued by conflict and public mismanagement. Puntland lies somewhere in between, with some stability but an embryonic state under growing influence of piracy networks.

By Kate Andrews, ChildFund Staff Writer
The number of children and youths who work — whether they're paid or unpaid — is notoriously hard to pin down. Many countries have laws against employing children, but industries still continue to use child laborers despite legal and social consequences.
What number would you guess is accurate? A million? Six million? Ten?
Not even close.
The estimated number of child laborers ages 5 to 14 is 150 million, according to UNICEF. But only 1 percent of 1,022 Americans in a recent survey conducted for ChildFund answered correctly; 73 percent said less than 1 million children are engaged in labor in developing countries.
Other statistics reported in the survey, which was conducted in late June by Ipsos Public Affairs, are more encouraging; a majority of respondents say they're willing to pay more for clothing produced without the use of child laborers, and 77 percent say they would stop purchasing clothing from labels that are found to use child labor. That's good.
But it's important for children all over the world — including those risking their lives in African gold mines, spending hours in the sun harvesting sugarcane in the Philippines, burning their fingers while making glass bangles at home in India or working for no money at all, as hundreds of thousands of Brazilian children do — for Americans to be more aware of the scope of the problem.
Almost one in six children ages 5 to 14 in developing countries are engaged in labor; aside from the potential physical hazards, these children are unlikely to complete their education. And thus the generational cycle of poverty continues. ChildFund supports many programs that assist families caught in this vicious circle by providing training for safer, more stable ways to earn income, giving assistance to children and youth to keep them in school longer and working with entire communities to discourage the employment of children.
The missing piece here is broader awareness in the United States and other prosperous countries. Child labor is a worldwide problem that touches everyone in some way, and we need to use this knowledge to engage and educate industries on how to change their practices and stop exploiting children.

Small Town, Big Misperceptions
November/December 2001
As she attended the local funeral of a client, the well-known director of an HIV service organization in a small town found people rushing up to her demanding to know, "Why are you here? What did he die of?"
You can get lost in the big city, but in small towns few people go unnoticed, and everyone's business is open to speculation. "They don't have much else to do but gossip," said one rural HIV service provider, who asked to have their name withheld.
It's not like city folks don't poke their noses into each other's business. But the fear of being found out, where everyone knows who you are, and there's nowhere to hide, adds stress to the lives of rural people living secretly with HIV. Meanwhile, the need to hide adds a false sense of invulnerability to the rest of the local population, who don't realize that HIV exists in their community.
Serenity"People come to the country for the beauty, the simplicity, the isolation. But people talk more. Why is he coming home? Why is he getting skinny? Why does she have a cough?" says Eric Banks, who recently left his position as a public policy associate for the New York AIDS Coalition. The association advances advocacy positions for 200 member organizations, including some from New York City.
Banks, who was born and raised in the small town of Unadilla in upstate New York, has been a longtime advocate for the needs of rural people living with HIV. As a young gay man and a rural person himself, he takes special interest in how HIV messages are being provided to a population that sees itself as invulnerable. "I heard one speaker say that if you took away New York City and the prisons, New York state would still be No. 10 in the country for AIDS cases," he recalls.
Banks respects the neighborly value of looking out for one another. The questions people ask, he says, are "not so much gossip but a tradition of people taking care of each other." Still, he concedes that people are nervous about the potential for breaches in confidentiality, and that they suffer for exposures forced upon them. One of Banks' clients received an eviction notice as a result of such a breach. He didn't even know that the receptionist at his health clinic, located in another town, was his landlord's daughter. The receptionist was fired, and the eviction did not take place while the case was being litigated, but the client died before the case came to trial.
In the August issue of AIDS Care, researchers reported finding two types of confidentiality breaches in rural North Carolina health care settings: blatant ones like the one above, and subtle ones where healthcare providers talk about an HIV-positive patient with another healthcare worker at their own clinic or hospital, which is allowed by law. (They're not supposed to talk about a person's HIV status with another institution unless given permission.) Of the 15 positive people they spoke with, the majority had experienced a breach of confidentiality themselves or knew of someone else who had.
Banks remembers being unable to leave voice messages or send mail to clients who were afraid that their children might learn of their HIV status. People who saw someone they knew at an educational event would "be a mess" even after the person said over and over that they wouldn't tell anyone. One client went to great lengths to circumvent the benefits manager of her company, who was a friend of her father. Another woman lives in the same town as an HIV specialist, but travels two hours away to see a different doctor so the word can't get out about her HIV.
"There may be competent healthcare workers in your area, but they -- or their staff -- may know your relatives, so your confidentiality is not assured. Even though you have legal recourses, by then it's too late. No one wants to be shunned in their own community," Banks says.
Debra Patterson, who works with the Madison County AIDS Program in rural southern Illinois, says many of her clients are fearful of being exposed. "They're afraid . . . of rocks being thrown at their house, of being run out of town, of people not talking to them."
Banks says people "rightly fear" HIV because they have no exposure to it. "People in New York City are more aware of HIV. They see more billboards. But you can be in upstate New York and never see a single one. Fear comes from lack of exposure."
MosquitosLee Fallon, the director of the Catskills Rural AIDS Services in Oneonta, New York, says she was "amazed at what students didn't know, and what they thought they knew that wasn't true. And these were college students. They're still in the mosquito and deep kissing area. They also have the misconception of a cure, that there's nothing to worry about."
Patterson also hears about transmission myths that were long ago dispelled by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "People ask me how come they can't get it from mosquitos. When I tell them, they say, 'The government doesn't know everything. It's a new disease.' No matter how much I try to educate people, they're still going to believe what they want to believe."
There are other misperceptions as well. A member of a sorority where she spoke said Patterson "didn't look it [infected]." "I told her that was the point, you don't look it." An elderly woman told her, "You can't have AIDS. You're fat, and you're just getting fatter."
Small, But Not SafeFor all the concern over gossip and rumors, there wasn't enough of it to protect Patterson. Ironically, she moved from Los Angeles to rural Illinois, where she got HIV. After learning of her infection, when she told her boyfriend's parents that he had HIV, they said, "We kinda knew." Patterson's older son, who was in high school at the time, said, "Mom, we had heard that rumor [that the boyfriend was HIV-positive] a long time ago." She now knows of five other women who were infected by this same man.
Yet, when she tested positive five years ago, "I just remember thinking, 'Oh my God. I must be the only one.' The counselor told me, 'You would not believe the numbers that are in Madison County. More than you would think.'"
Last year, when she began working for the Madison County AIDS Program as a treatment educator and advocate, as her new boss drove her around she would point out streets where clients live. "I know someone there and over there and down here," and on and on.
And as she works with positive clients, she hears the stories of risk. One young woman in another town tells her of a group of people sharing needles, and of one guy with HIV sleeping around. Another woman told her of meeting two men through the Internet, traveling to their states and having sex with them without telling them she's HIV-positive. Patterson herself sometimes finds that men walk away when she tells them of her HIV, but three men still wanted to have unprotected sex with her. She walked away from them.
In the early days of the epidemic, many small town people who had moved to the big city returned home when they became ill with HIV disease. But today, says Banks, "There are still some people 'coming home,' but the majority of infections I hear about now are in people who've never left."

John Urquhart Says Current Appointed Sheriff 'Not Working Out'
by Jack Mayne
John Urquhart, 64, wants to trade in his sergeant's stripes for the four stars of the elected sheriff of King County and to command the 1,000 people, including 600 sworn officers, of what has been called one of the best large police agencies in the state.
Urquhart is probably better known by the Seattle area media and police news buffs than the general public because he spent the past 10 years as the department's public information officer, charged with telling reporters and the where, when and why of crime in the county.
So why does he want the top job?
"I retired in January after . . . 24 years with the Sheriff's office." Urquhart says. "I had no intention of running. But I started getting calls from people inside the Sheriff's office and in all ranks from civilians up to commanders. They said, 'this new guy is not working out. He is taking us down the wrong road and we think you ought to run for sheriff."
He is referring to Sheriff Steve Strachan (pronounced "Stran") who was appointed sheriff in April 2012 after serving as chief deputy under Sheriff Sue Rahr. The race for both men is for the final year of Rahr's four-year term. The winner will have to seek a full term in 2013.
Urquhart said at first he would not run, but then says he started looking into it.
"I came to the conclusion that they were right. He (Strachan) is taking us down the road where we are going to end up in the same position that the Seattle Police Department is in where they have lost the support of the communities they police."
He announced for sheriff on April 24.
Strachan 'is a climber'
Urquhart says that even before Strachan started at King County, while he was wrapping up his job as chief of police in Kent, then Sheriff Sue Rahr sent all deputies an e-mail that said that Strachan would be running the day-to-day operations of the office. Virtually every reference in the department's operations manual regarding actions that would be taken by the sheriff was changed to read "deputy chief."
He says that Rahr "hated campaigning" and calling people for campaign donations and expressed interest in leaving the department even before the 2009 election (where she was reelected overwhelmingly). The next year she reached out to Strachan and hired him effective in 2011.
Rahr "was clearly looking for another job, she put him in charge." When she retired to become the director of the state Criminal Justice Training Commission, the King County Council unanimously appointed Strachan.
Urquhart says Strachan had applied for four police chief jobs prior to getting hired by Rahr.
"He is a climber," he says.
During 2011, the department had four officer related shootings, two of which were fatal, he says.
"The policy manual says a there has to be a shooting review board within 30 days of the inquest and 30 of the completion of the investigation. This is all on his watch. Those shooting review boards weren't held, in two cases, until over a year later, in the other two cases until well over six months later.
"They weren't held until I made a campaign issue of it in April."
Urquhart charges that Strachan started right after he became chief deputy to decimate internal investigations.
"We have always had a captain and a clerk and three detective sergeants in there, Urquhart says. "He cut (the sergeants) down to two and tried to get rid of the captain and have those two detectives report directly to him and get rid of the clerk. He took all these investigations and shipped them down to the precincts for patrol sergeants to investigate. Patrol sergeants would be investigating their peers and they don't have the expertise, the time, the training, the equipment to do those kinds of investigations."
'Devastating' audits
The most recent departmental audit said, "there over a hundred citizen complaints that they cannot find because they weren't tracked – they went down to the precincts to the patrol sergeants and they weren't tracked," Urquhart says. "It is not accurate (for Strachan) to say that my complaints are stuff that Sue Rahr did. He likes to blame me because I was down there for 10 years. I was a sergeant. I was a policy advisor but I was not a policy maker. I couldn't change anything.
"Now we have gotten these two audits that are just devastating," he says. "The first audit talks about the culture of management in the Sheriff's office that doesn't take discipline seriously. The audit talks about two uses of force complaints that went up to internal investigations in 2011. Seattle had 159 that went to internal investigations, Portland had 47, we only had two because they are not looked at, they just went up the chain and they disappear somewhere.
"It doesn't mean that (deputies) are doing something wrong," he says. "Neither audit talks about the men and women on the street, it talks about management only. But how can the public have confidence in what the deputies are doing if there is an allegation or if the deputies use force, they shoot somebody or something like that if we don't investigate them at the management level?"
Urquhart wants to establish a policy review board "so we can look at training issues to see if we need to retrain the deputy or we need to retrain the department or is there a way we can counsel this guy that if you had done something else, if you had used a different tactic, perhaps you wouldn't have had to use force at all."
"We don't do that now. The audit said exactly the same thing: you need a use of force board because that is best practice across the country."
Strachan, says Urquhart, has not made "one change in the 20 months he has been running the department. He says 'look at my business plan, all of my changes I am going to do are in the business plan.' You don't need a business plan, it is fluff, it is pictures and fluff and there is not one concrete proposal that he has in the business plan – that he wrote – to change the sheriff's office, to address these issues. The term 'investigation' is in the business plan three times, the term internal is in the business plan twice but they are never in the same sentence."
The real issue is not budget cuts, but how the county will police the unincorporated areas, Urquhart says.
"Does the county owe Vashon Island police services?" he asks. "Of course, even though it is a money loser. I don't think you can look at Skyway or Vashon by themselves, we have to look at all of unincorporated King County. People ask how are you going to fight the County Council, or the executive, for money. I say that I am not going to fight with them at all – at least not publicly. I think it is counter productive. I have no problem with pounding on the desk behind closed doors.
"I am also not going to fight with the social providers like we have before. They are just as important to public safety as (the Sheriff's Department is).
"What is most important is that I am running a Sheriff's Department that is fiscally prudent, that understands overtime."
"I need to know that so I can go to the County Council and say we need to hire more people rather than pay this overtime," Urquhart says.
He says the first thing he will do if he is elected will be to "beef up internal security to where it needs to be and start a use of force review board."
"Over 50 percent of our business comes from contracts, that is a very good thing for the contracts and it is a very good thing for the department because of economies of scale (and) 50 percent of the people who work for us are in contracts," he says. "Half of our budget comes from contract customers. The other half is from unincorporated King County, which is about 250,000 people."
The candidate says he solidly supports the department's contracting with cities and other jurisdictions (Muckleshoot tribe, Metro Transit, King County Airport).
"A city gets the best, we are a good police department," Urquhart says. "From a homicide standpoint, from a major accident standpoint, from the point they don't have to negotiate contracts, they don't have union issues, they don't have lawsuit issues, they don't have use of force issues. We (Sheriff's department) absorbs all of that," he says. "They get the benefits of a big police department."
Abolishing Precincts
But Urquhart charges that Strachan has done away with the precinct system so there is "this big pool of deputies that now are sent all over the county wherever they need them because we have established 'shift minimums,' He did this because he promised (County Executive) Dow Constantine he would reduce overtime."
Urquhart says cancelling the precinct "zone plan" caused reduction in the minimum number of officers on each shift. That change also did away with roll calls "so that a sergeant hardly ever sees the deputies" because deputies go directly to work wherever they are assigned,"
Further, Urquhart says Strachan also reduced the number of sergeants, again to save on overtime. Fewer people mean less need to have overtime officers fill for those sick or attending court, on vacation, etc.
Manpower does not correlate with actual policing needs of a community, he says, pointing to the unincorporated Skyway area west of Renton and south of Seattle.
"There are 15,000 people and, for 22 years, there were two deputies 24 hours a day," he says.
The primary reason is for backup because it is isolated from other areas of unincorporated King County and a second deputy is needed for backup because of the violent nature of the area.
Skyway has the second highest number of calls of any area of King County, Urquhart says and White Center has the most calls for police service.
"So what he (Strachan) did to cut overtime was eliminate all deputies in Skyway from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m., Urquhart says.
"A lot of calls in the Skyway area are dual response: the fire department will go within two blocks but won't go the rest of the way until (deputies) make sure it is safe. So the deputies were coming from White Center (and) the fire department was waiting 20 minutes sometimes, according to the fire chief, to get a deputy. Response time matters. People die, people bleed out, they get away."
The candidate claims it was because he made it a campaign issue that got the Skyway deputies restored to two for each shift.
"It is expensive to do that, but you just have to do it." Urquhart said.
EDITOR'S NOTE: We'll be posting a profile on Sheriff Steve Strachan, so check back again soon.

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® and the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) on July 24 announced that they have filed a legal challenge against a new law in the City of New York mandating that manufacturers provide free, door-to-door electronics collection to city residents.
The regulation, which is scheduled to go into effect July 31, will force hundreds of additional trucks onto city streets, needlessly increasing traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, and carbon emissions. Estimates suggest the requirements will cost manufacturers, including many small businesses, more than $200 million annually, resulting in cost increases to consumers and job losses.
"Despite the technology industry's best efforts to negotiate with New York City officials on a reasonable and effective recycling program, the city is proceeding with plans to impose the most costly, burdensome and environmentally harmful electronics recycling requirements in the world," said Dean Garfield, president and chief executive officer of ITI. "At this point, we have no option but to file suit to avoid the disastrous environmental and economic consequences of this poorly conceived regulation. There is a better way to achieve the common goal of an effective recycling program."
The enormous financial burden of door-to-door collection threatens to force electronics companies out of the New York City marketplace or into bankruptcy. Despite the fact that most manufacturers do not have a corporate presence in New York City nor the infrastructure to provide direct collection services to residents, the city's regulations place the entire cost of collecting and recycling old electronics products on manufacturers, including hundreds of U.S. companies whose products are shipped into the city by distributors.
The Information Technology Industry Council is the premiere voice, advocate, and thought leader for the information and communications technology industry. The Consumer Electronics Association www.CE.org is the preeminent trade association promoting growth in the $172 billion U.S. consumer electronics industry.

Law enforcement agencies from across the U.S. have reached out to Jalopnik for help with car identifications since your input was "critical" to solving a hit-and-run earlier this year.
UPDATE: Westwood (Mass.) Police made an arrest in the case. His car: a 2003 Hyundai Sonata.
Today, we have pictures and video released by a Massachusetts district attorney's office regarding the case of a 26-year-old woman who was seriously injured when struck by a vehicle while walking her dog on Monday night.
Authorities say the driver initially slowed down, but then sped off when he or she saw what had happened.
Westwood police said the driver of the vehicle that hit the woman did not stop, but the car likely sustained front end damage and now has a broken headlight assembly.
Investigators determined the vehicle was a mid-sized white or light-colored four-door sedan with a moon roof.
Jillian Belanger remains hospitalized in serious condition. Her bull terrier, Bianca, was killed.
So, what kind of car is this?

Bossa Nova Stories
Something For You
Brazilian Classics
Everything I Love
Shades of Blue
Recording period between
The classical tradition meets the spontaneity of jazz through the virtuosic playing of Brazil-born and New York-based pianist Eliane Elias. A former member of jazz ensemble Steps Ahead, Elias has continued to explore two distinct musical streams through her solo recordings and her performances since the mid-'80s. In 1993, she became one of the few artists to release jazz and classical albums simultaneously. In a review of a concert in her homeland, Brazil magazine praised Elias for "her dazzling right-hand runs, executed often at frightening speeds. Her command of the keyboard was total. Her harmonic sensibility caused a sense of wonderment."
Elias no doubt inherited at least some of her musical talents from her mother, Lucy, a classical pianist who often played jazz records in the family home. After studying for six years at the Free Center of Music Apprenticeship in São Paulo, she continued to study classical technique with Amilton Godoy and Amaral Vieira. By her teens, Elias was composing her own pieces and performing in jazz clubs. While touring in Europe in 1981, she met jazz bassist Eddie Gomez and was encouraged to travel to New York. Arriving in the Big Apple the following year, she studied privately with Olegna Fuschi at the Juilliard School of Music. Elias' professional career received a boost when she was invited to join Steps Ahead, a jazz "supergroup" featuring Michael Brecker, Peter Erskine, Mike Manieri, and Eddie Gomez. She recorded one album with the group -- Steps Ahead -- in 1983. Shortly after leaving Steps Ahead, Elias began collaborating with trumpet player Randy Brecker, whom she subsequently married but later divorced. Their sole duo album, released in 1985, was named after their daughter Amanda. The following year, Elias launched her career as a bandleader. Since then, she's alternated tours with two different trios, one featuring drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Gomez and the other featuring drummer Erskine and her current husband, bassist Marc Johnson. Elias has also performed with a third trio, featuring Johnson on bass and Satoshi Takeishi on drums.
She signed with Blue Note in 1989, and released her debut for the label, So Far So Close, the same year with a slew of guests. While most of her recordings have been instrumental, Elias introduced her soft but coarse vocals on her 1990 album Eliane Elias Plays Jobim, and has employed vocals on occasion ever since. Her 1995 album Solos and Duets featured a brilliantly executed duet with Herbie Hancock. In addition to working periodically with Toots Thielemans' Brasil Project, Elias has served as musical director for Gilberto Gil's group. While she continued to record for the rest of the 1990s, it was 2000's Impulsive! that proved one of the largest surprises in her career as she collaborated with conductor and arranger Bob Brookmeyer leading the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra. In 2002 she left Blue Note for RCA's Bluebird label, where she debuted with Kissed by Nature, a primarily vocal album, and following it up with the lovely Dreamer in 2004. Elias released Around the City in 2006, a collection of primarily vocal tracks that moved ever further into pop territory, covering music by Santana, Bob Marley, and even Beck. It was her final album for Bluebird.
She returned to Blue Note for 2007's Something for You: Elaine Elias Sings & Plays Bill Evans, fronting a trio with Johnson (who played with Evans) and drummer Joey Baron. In 2009, she issued what many have argued is her finest recording, Bossa Nova Stories, fully engaging her Brazilian heritage in bossa and samba and illustrating her singular jazz instincts as a pianist. In 2010, Savoy Records issued Timeless Eliane Elias, a compilation of tracks culled from her mid-'80s recordings Illusions and Cross Currents. In late 2010, Elias signed with Concord; in the late spring of 2011 she released Light My Fire, her debut set on the label. ~ Craig Harris & Thom Jurek

Intake levels will depend on a number of different factors, such
as the nature of your horse's diet, their size, breed and age.
However, as a guide we recommend that horses and ponies should not
consume more than one Little Likit or half a Likit per day
The best way to open the Likit packaging is to remove the lid,
put both thumbs at the top of the tear strip (the thickest part of
the plastic), push down to break the seal and then peel the plastic
down the strip. Repeat on the other side. Open the
shell and twist the Likit to free from packaging. If you
would like to view a step-by-step video, click here.
This is easily solved, just use a pair of our hot pink Likit
Pliers. Grip the side of the empty pot with the pliers and pull,
you may need to repeat on either side of the pot if it is firmly
stuck in the hole. If you can't get hold of Likit pliers, any
normal set of household pliers will do the trick! If you
would like to view a step-by-step video, click here.
Apple seems to be the current favourite, but it varies dependent
on the country. In the UK Cherry is very popular but in
Germany Banana is their favourite flavour. However we are
always keen to hear your views, just use the 'Get in touch'
button at the top of your screen. Let us know your horse's
favourite flavour or ideas as to new flavours we should
We would advise that you start with the Likit Holder,
which is the most cost effective way of introducing your horse to
our products. Alternatively you can try feeding a Little
Likit or our Likit Treat Bar by hand.
As the main component of a Likit is Glucose, Likits will provide
energy. However, provided the recommended daily intake is adhered
to there should be little or no effect on your horse's energy
Horses normally graze for about 16 hours per day. A 500kg horse
would consume at least 50kg of fresh grass, which is equivalent to
about 2kg of sugar per day or 125 grams per hour of grazing. We
recommend that horses consume a maximum of 300 grams of Likit per
day, which is equivalent to approximately 2 hours
If you have a horse that is prone to laminitis or on a low sugar
diet then we have a range of salt based Likits and Little Likits
that can be used in conjunction with our range of Likit toys.

Now while this may seem like the best possible move Google could make to help rebuild lost relationships, it should be noted that this is a small test. It may be continued or it may not. Do not get too excited. Also, in case you are wondering who is and is not being contacted, I can tell you that websites with URL's like www.viagra-remedy-cure-for-all-ailments-known-to-man.com are definitely not going to receive an e-mail from Google inviting them back into the fold.
Google apparently contacted 100 webmasters whose websites had been dropped from Google's index regarding how Google would like to have them back in their index, granted the webmaster is willing to clean up the website to meet Google's quality guidelines for webmasters found here:
Below is a copy of the letter that Google is sending out to webmasters whose sites have been removed from G's index of websites.
Dear site owner or webmaster of http://www.xlwidgets.com,
While we were indexing your webpages, we detected that some of your
pages were using techniques that were outside our quality guidelines,
which can be found here: http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html
In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, we have
temporarily removed some webpages from our search results. Currently
pages from http://www.chefrevival.com.au/ are scheduled to be removed for at
least 30 days.
Specifically, we detected the following practices on your webpages:
On http://www.xlwidgets.com, we noticed the following hidden text: "XL
widgets are the best widgets available online in widget entertainment and
widget retail sales which is the basis for blue green yellow widget sales
and services to our retail widget wholesale widget clients and widget

We would prefer to have your pages in Google's index. If you wish to be
reincluded, please correct or remove all pages that are outside our
quality guidelines. When you are ready, please submit a re inclusion
request at http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py
You can select "I'm a webmaster inquiring about my website" and
then "Why my site disappeared from the search results or dropped in
ranking," click Continue, and then make sure to type "Re inclusion
Request" in the Subject: line of the resulting form.
Google Search Quality Team
{mospagebreak title=The Precious 100}
Google has decided to contact 100 webmasters whose sites were banned or dropped from the Google index for whatever reason. It has been reported that they tried to contact the webmasters directly by searching the whois records for the domains, and falling short of that have also sent e-mails to generic web address for websites (such as firstname.lastname@example.com,com and firstname.lastname@example.com).
Google has also copied the letter over to the website host provider, which has some people upset. Some fear that by notifying the hosting company, the host will shut the site down to prevent the whole server seen as a bad neighborhood.
Of course with just 100 websites receiving these letters and 8 billion pages indexed, I do not think this is an issue many webmasters should worry about. I would also say for those who ran scraper sites, and other hard core black hat SEO tactics, that you should not expect an e-mail inviting you back.
Google's intention here is to build and foster friendship and partnership with white hat webmasters. It also seems to be built for the SMB type of business, who are perhaps not involved in an SEO campaign. They may have thought that using some junk software could improve their standings in the search engine results pages. Google sees these sites as legitimate small business who made a poor choice. These business owners will not be visiting an SEO forum or even turning to an SEO company for help, so Google is reaching out to those types of business in their initial test.
Matt Cutts, a Google employee who has shed some insight to the inner workings of Google's algorithmic team, cited one of the websites in his blog. It is a small business (http://www.sewshop.com/acart) which apparently purchased software that made up gibberish pages, and it used a bad JavaScript redirect.
It is apparent that Google is out to help the smaller webmaster, who probably is less Internet-savvy than other website owners. These people may not have the economic means to hire a search engine optimization firm of good reputation to solve their coding issues which led to their sites being removed from the Google index.
{mospagebreak title=Re-inclusion for All}
So what do you do if you are not one of those 100 webmasters getting e-mail from Google inviting you back? Maybe you had one of the websites who pushed the boundaries of SEO and found their website removed from Google's index, or maybe you stumbled upon some black-hat advice unwittingly. Regardless, there is something you can do.
There was once an email address I would write to in the past to try to have Google take a look at a websites for re-inclusion to their index. There is now a web form request that can be (and should be) filled out by anyone removed.
You can find the form at this location: http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py
So what exactly needs to go into the reinclusion report to have Google consider including your webpages? There is basically two issues that will need to be covered in the request.
1. You will need to cover the fact that the spam has been removed from your pages
2. You will not try using spam tactics again. You will want to cover the known or suspected spam tactics, what penalties you have received (or think you are under) and any forms of corrections you may have undertaken.
If you have hired an SEO firm,,, you will want to advise Google of such. You will also want to include information about the SEO company and actions they took. This shows Google a sign of good faith for your business as well.
SEO Firms, and those websites which have been designed mostly for affiliate revenue, will need to provide more proof of good faith evidence before a site will be re-included. These type of websites should already be well aware of Google's webmaster guidelines and not have sites that were dropped from the Google index.
There are a few things not to do when writing Google. Don't inform them that you are an Google Adwords advertiser or a Google Adsense publisher. The people at Google who would be involved in re-inclusion requests will not care if you are or what other business you have with Google.
{mospagebreak title=Helping Optimizers and Warming Hearts}
Another point that needs to be covered is if you are a web developer who has had various websites that were dumped from Google's index, it is thought it best to only seek a re-inclusion request for one web site at a time. It is always best to not try to draw too much attention to yourself at once, so that over time you can keep websites indexed.
After you have made the corrections and submitted your re-inclusion report, there will be some time needed for the pages to be indexed and then placed into the search results index.
This could take as little as two to three weeks for not-severe penalties, to six to eight weeks for more severe bans due to black hat tactics. Other issues that factor into the re-inclusion time are when someone gets around to reviewing the request, whether the request is approved, as well waiting for a spam filter to clear out of the system.
Google certainly is looking like they are trying to help optimizers. This comes after years of Google being perceived as out to hurt SEOs or destroy businesses that optimize to get ahead. Google's stance is nothing I'd have expected from them.
While it is nice Google is reaching out to these webmasters, I am not too sure how it will turn out for Google. There may or may not be any real ROI; it would also be amusing (to say the least) if they could open local Google offices, which teach others how to market a business properly or how to develop search engine optimized pages.
I can safely assure you that by following Google guidelines for webmasters, you can definitely ease your workload by building quality websites for users. This will in turn give top level keyword ranking for both paid and free results listings.
By building quality sites or bringing clients sites to meet the guidelines set forth by Google, growth can be found by anyone who makes a concerted effort to enjoy success.

Crazy Lady Gives The Strangest Eyewitness Report Ever [FBHW]
When you think of a strange eyewitness report, you usually think of an interview similar to Antoine Dodson or Sweet Brown. But neither of those can hold a candle to this bizarre report of an accident. The woman being questioned begins telling the reporter about the accident, but the eyewitness account quickly takes an unexpected turn towards hilarity. The woman explains to the reporter that the vacuum cleaner man has seen her cans. Yes, you read that right.
See what Free Beer and Hot Wings had to say about this voyeuristic eyewitness beow.
Those are not zits you want to see. I mean, they would have to be shockingly different than the face you can see. - Free Beer

"If Steven Wright, Mos Def and Dave Chappelle had a baby, that would be disgusting, but it would sound like Hannibal Buress. The funniest young comic I've seen in years." – Chris Rock
Chicago-bred New York-based stand-up comedian Hannibal Buress established himself as a master of "comedic jokes related to personal stories, current events, the streets, and even food" (yes, someone actually wrote and published that line) in ANIMAL FURNACE, his COMEDY CENTRAL original one-hour stand-up special that premiered May 20, 2012.
Hannibal Buress has appeared on THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON, JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!, THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON, and CONAN. He can be seen on 30 ROCK, LOUIE, and as the co-host of the Adult Swim series THE ERIC ANDRE SHOW. Buress has previously worked on the writing staffs of 30 ROCK and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and was recently awarded the American Comedy Award for Best Club Comic of 2012.
Though perpetually touring, Buress considers New York City to be his place of residence. He lives with zero pets and an XBOX 360, and has a cable package with the Starz network but never watches it.

Because enhanced clusters are self-configuring, the procedures for adding and removing brokers are simpler than for a conventional cluster.
Set the new broker's high-availability-related properties, as described in the preceding section.
You can do this either by specifying the individual properties in the broker's instance configuration file (config.properties) or, if there is a cluster configuration file, by setting the broker's imq.cluster.url property to point to it.
Start the new broker with the imqbrokerd command.
The broker will automatically register itself into the cluster on startup.

David Howell became the second youngest player in history to make 500 appearances on The European Tour after opening with a round of 72 on the first day of the Alstom Open de France.
Only his fellow Englishman Peter Baker, at 36, was younger than the 39 year old Howell when he reached the milestone, which has now been achieved by 27 players.
Howell, who was presented with an engraved ice bucket by Keith Waters, The European Tour's Chief Operating Officer, said: "It's very satisfying. There aren't many people who have played as many tournaments as me in the history of The European Tour, and who have as many years to go as well.
"You get this nice little award to put on the mantelpiece, and I guess you feel firmly part of the furniture of The European Tour if you reach 500. I'm probably feeling a little bit like a raggedy old sofa perhaps, but it's nice to be part of a great sporting organisation for going on 20 years now."
Howell has won European Tour titles in three different decades, securing his maiden victory in the 1999 Dubai Desert Classic and most recently in 2013 when, after a seven year absence, he made a welcome and emotional return to the winners' enclosure in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
But undoubtedly the most significant of his five titles came at the peak of his powers in the 2006 campaign, when he followed up his three shot victory over Tiger Woods in the season-opening HSBC Champions with a five shot win in The European Tour's flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship.
As a resident in nearby Weybridge, Howell's win at Wentworth Club was a home triumph in every sense of the word and helped him to a career-high finish of third on The European Tour money list.
Howell's annus mirabilis also included a second appearance, and indeed nine-point victory, in The Ryder Cup, having helped Europe to a record 18½-9½ triumph at Oakland Hills in 2004.
At that point, Howell appeared destined for a truly glorious career, only to suffer a slump in form and fortunes which saw him finish outside the top 100 in the money list in three of the next five seasons and, in his own words, "plumb the depths of despair".
But the redoubtable Englishman showed glimpses of a return to form in the second half of the 2012 season, recording a pair of top five finishes and making 16 cuts in 17 events en route to finishing in 62nd place in The Race to Dubai.
The following year, he ended his title drought in superb style in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, closing with a round of 67 at St Andrews before seeing off American Peter Uihlein with a birdie on the second hole of the play-off.
It was victory for one of the good guys, and provided vindication for Howell's persistence and unwavering belief that his best years were not behind him.
He said: "I've always kept my desire and I want to be out here, I love my job and I love being out and being part of The European Tour. It all comes down to desire, and also your health. I've had my injuries along the way, and my niggles and they are still there, but I'm feeling pretty good at the moment, so there's no reason why I can't carry on a few years yet.
"I'm only 39, and when you look at Miguel [Angel Jiménez], who has won 14 events after the age of 40, it makes you think that if he can do it, maybe I can as well.
"I've had my struggles along the way. It's been a bit of a roller coaster, I would say more ups than downs but I've had my tough times out there as well, which are obviously character building. You question your commitment to the game and how much you enjoy it but I've come through those periods, come out the other side still realising that I love the game and love trying to get better."

My Shampoo! Oh No!
hathor replied to USMCgirl05's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI just read the labels. The two products I had been using that contained wheat said quite clearly on the label that they do.
OK, if you still have the package , can you tell me if these wonders are egg and soy free as well? Dare I hope ...
And you know this, how? Not trying to be argumentative. But I haven't seen anything to indicate that China has changed how it makes citric acid. Or do you know of studies that show that no gluten makes it through to the final product? Is there some source you can point me to that explains, well, we used to think this, but these tests have been run or whatever, and it isn't a problem? If it isn't a problem, no matter what the source, that's great with me
Is It A Casein Issue?
hathor replied to pinktroll's topic in Parents' CornerRegular allergy tests won't show a problem with casein, if one exists. You can tell this by dietary test and/or by testing by folks such as Enterolab. The very lowest casein content is in ghee, which is so clarified that no protein remains. I react to butter. I disagree with gfpaperdoll's conclusions about a healthy diet BTW But this really isn't the place to argue about that. Anyone who wants to can do their own research and draw their own conclusions. (I would direct interested people to McDougall, Ornish, Esselstyn, Barnard, Novick, Fuhrman, Shintari, etc.) We do agree about some things, though, like milk, trans fats, and refined carbs.
60 Years Old And Self-diagnosed
hathor replied to Discovery's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac DiseaseIt does take time. Unfortunately, there are no definite timetables. It depends on the individual. I haven't heard anyone who has healed completely in three weeks, though, so hang in there. (Maybe the folks who heal in three weeks don't hang out on this board ) I assume you have a good list of ingredients that are safe, unsafe or need to be investigated further? And you know about how to avoid cross-contamination at home? Dairy and soy seem to be problems for many. If your progress seems to stop, try eliminating them. Dairy seems to be the most common, second intolerance on this board. If you don't want to make any changes in your diet yet, you might start up a food/symptom diary and see if you feel worse after eating particular foods. Unfortunately, people may react to any number of other foods; there is no one size fits all. A good multivitamin/mineral supplement would be useful. If you have malabsorption issues, you aren't getting enough nutrients out of what you are eating, and won't until you heal. I've read that magnesium is a particular need among those new to the diet. I also recommend a good probiotic to help your gut develop a healthy set of bacteria. Some people go through withdrawal from gluten, also. It may be that your symptoms are simply that and will fade on their own.
Questions - Please Help!
hathor replied to Lux's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsOf course it is ultimately your decision. But if it were me, I don't think it would be worth getting tested. Six months of feeling sick and doing damage to your body just to, what? Tell you what you already know? If you get a positive result, you will just do what your body is telling you to do anyway. If you get a negative result, it could just be that you couldn't bring yourself to eat enough gluten, the right sites weren't sampled, or you just haven't developed the damage yet. Would a negative result cause you to eat the stuff that makes you feel sick? You have the blood test and your body's response to a gluten-free diet and a gluten challenge. That seems to be enough. I wouldn't go through torment just to satisfy some doctor. Any test or procedure is really up to you. For the constipation you are experiencing now, it may just take time to resolve. But you can help things along by taking magnesium, a fiber supplement, or senna tea. Also, a number of people who can't tolerate gluten have problems with casein (a protein in milk) as well. Casein is very binding for some. If you continue to have problems, I would suggest going casein-free and see if that improves things for you.
I have heard that some citric acid manufactured outside the country may be made from wheat. Googling just now, I found this reported more than once. Here is one site: http://groups.msn.com/CeliacDisease/foods.msnw The stuff made in the US is safe, according to everything I've read. Someone who researched this once (she found herself reacting to imported coconut milk, with the only other ingredient being citric acid) told me it is the citric acid made in China that is made from wheat, or may be made from wheat. This site indicates this to be the case: http://www.soycoffee.com/gluten.php I don't obviously know the truth of the matter. I just thought I should mention the difference of opinion.
Uggghh...you Guys
hathor replied to imsohungry's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking TipsHeck, I can readily get my Tinkyada to turn into slime if I'm not careful. I guess it takes talent I have to keep it below a rolling boil, cook for less time than they ever say, testing frequently, and rinse. Then if I'm lucky, it's edible. I think people have different tastes in how they like their pasta. My favorite gluten-free pasta is Bionaturae, but I had to stop it because it contains soy. I like its texture better. But I've heard people say they think it is too firm. Hey, to me, that's al dente! Glutino rice pasta seems to be less trickier. Unfortunately, it is much harder to find. BTW I'm not the only one to have problems with Tinkyada. I've had this discussion before and seen quite different points of view expressed. So I'm not the only one who can't stand the stuff when it is cooked according to their directions.
Gluten Free Casein Free And Soy Free
hathor replied to mftnchn's topic in Gluten-Free RestaurantsOne of my standbys is to go to a tapas restaurant. They seem to use olive oil and not butter. When I asked about soy at my favorite place, they sniffed, "We have no soy on the premises!" OK ... They even have a gluten-free menu. Just be careful about gazpacho -- it frequently has gluten. Another favorite of mine is Indian. You just need to make sure that what you order doesn't have cheese, yogurt, etc. in it (and you have to skip the yummy bread). Ghee is made from dairy, but it is so clarified that no casein is left in it.
I was under the impression that the more frequent urination is a symptom you recently developed. Did I misunderstand? Did you have this (and the dry itchy skin, the fatigue, and the tingling in your extremities) when you last tested your blood sugar? Please do test (and make sure that your test hasn't expired or something), and at different times in the day. If only to make sure that you don't have a blood sugar problem ... My niece's husband had these four symptoms (I never heard about if there was anything gastro going on) and diabetes turned out to be his problem. I wasn't sure when I posted before, so I just checked. One can get defecation issues with diabetes, too. There is also a link between diabetes and celiac disease -- I don't know if one can cause the other or they develop at the same time. I'm willing to bet that if you go to the doctor and tell him you suddenly have to pee more (the word suddenly was yours, as I recall), the first thing that will be checked is your blood sugar. I'm not saying it can't be something else, or a combination of things. Easy enough to discard this as a possibility, though.
Why Am I Not Getting Better
hathor replied to jasonD2's topic in Coping with Celiac DiseaseWow, I'd love it if I could take only 250 mg of magnesium and it acted in 8 hours. Unfortunately, I need much more over the course of a day and it takes longer. Just to note that there are individual variations ...
I really feel for you, but I don't know what to advise beyond sticking to things that don't make you sick (or make you the least sick anyway). Are you taking any medicines or supplements you might be reacting to? Have you tried probiotics? If you haven't already, I strongly urge you to have your blood sugar checked. I don't know if this can affect your BMs. But a number of your symptoms (frequent urination, dry itchy skin, weakness, tingling in your extremities) are symptoms of diabetes.
Casein Intolerance...
hathor replied to Rachel--24's topic in Related Disorders & Celiac ResearchI try to avoid a lot of artificial ingredients. It does seem to help. If it isn't clear in this thread, it is possible to have casein in things OTHER than dairy. You have to read labels and be on the lookout for anything with casein or caseinate listed among the ingredients. Manufacturers like to throw this into soy and rice cheeses, for instance.
Elimination Diet Questions - Fructose And More
hathor replied to Girrlock's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky GutGoat's milk has very little of the type of casein people usually react to. I don't know why you didn't react to yogurt, although some have reported that they do better with fermented products. I didn't always react to dairy. It was a problem that increased over time. I am surprised that avocado is on your list. I thought it was a fairly common allergen/intolerance. At the bottom of this link, there is a beginning list for one elimination diet. You might try adding items on this list: http://www.drmcdougall.com/med_allergic.html And skipping the avocado ... (I'm not allergic or intolerant to avocado, but much of anything this high fat makes me pretty bloated and gassy.) But I don't think it a great idea to be adding items if you are still having symptoms, though. Do you happen to have anything with your meals you haven't mentioned? For instance, what do you drink? And how have you been seasoning what you have been eating? Are you eating brown or white rice (people sometimes have trouble with one kind, but not the other ... it seems to go both ways). Supplements or medicines you take? Sugarfree gum (artificial sweeteners are another thing that blow me up like a balloon)?
Should I Pursue This?
hathor replied to moonlitemama's topic in Parents' CornerHave you seen if you can get a signed doctor's note from Enterolab?

Honey Boo Boo Cast Salary
The Hollywood Reporter claims that the "Honey Boo Boo" family earns between $2,000 and $4,000 per episode, possibly hitting $40,000 for the 10-episode season, according to sources. THR adds that a small "location fee" might also be paid.
UPDATE: June Shannon, the matriarch of the "Honey Boo Boo" family, spoke with TMZ and "laughed out loud" at THR's report. Though she wouldn't be specific, TMZ claims it was clear the family makes far more than $2,000 to $4,000 per episode.
No doubt, there is a possibility that this salary might get a bump if "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is picked up for a second season.
"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" has had huge ratings thus far and even scored more viewers among adults 18-49 than the Republican National Convention. The Aug. 29 episode drew nearly 3 million viewers.
TLC has been rumored to pay big salaries to the casts of their biggest shows. Although networks typically do not disclose the deals made with individual families, details about TLC's reality stars' salaries have surfaced.
Jon and Kate Gosselin of TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which first aired in 2007, earned $22,500 per episode, Jon told Larry King during an interview with CNN in 2009.
The Duggars of "18 Kids and Counting" are believed to have raked in even more. Reality families usually make a salary 10 percent of a show's per-episode budget, reality producer Terence Michael told E! News back in 2009. He estimated TLC budgeted about $250,000 to $400,000 per episode, which would mean the Duggars earned between $25,000 and $40,000 for four or five days' work.
Now TLC has a new family to cater to.
"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" is a spinoff series from TLC's "Toddler & Tiaras," on which young beauty queen Alana first appeared and hollered for that dollar. The show follows the seven-year-old and her crazy "redneck" family living in Georgia — "Mama" June, chalk-mining dad "Sugar Bear" and sisters 12-year-old Lauryn "Pumpkin," 15-year-old Jessica "Chubbs" and 17-year-old Anna "Chickadee."
The family has captured the attention of America's viewers. However, the family has not gotten used to "Honey Boo Boo" fame.
"It's kind of like, crazy seeing yourself on TV," June said during an interview with People magazine. "[But] we're just common everyday people."
