"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value First bought 7500 unit to replace factory radio in 07 Lincoln Town car. Did not like the fact that in put for I-pod was on the back of the unit. I move the I-pod from car to truck and to the gym. Did not want cord hanging out of dash somewhere. When I called tech. support he recommended the 6300 instead.(By the way Crutchfield can't be beat for their free shipping and no hassle to exchange) When I received the unit it appeared to have been used somewhere before. A call to support and said would replace with new 6300. Turned out no more to be had. I moved my old 5200 from my truck to the Lincoln and installed 6300 in my truck(I use the truck more) Both units appear identical so it is great to not have to adjust to different unit when I go from car to truck. Functions and features are great on both units. Some comments that cell phone microphone is scratchy but others say sound is perfect. Probably cell phone problem not unit. Units are completely flush with dash in both vehicles. Look factory. Tight fit in Lincoln but just required some patience to route wires. Pioneer makes quality gear. I've owned the 5200 since 2010 and have had no problems. Expect the same from the 6300. Pros: Features, ease of set up, coolness. Cons: None but would like to see an outside temperature gauge in the unit. Would be a really cool and useful feature. Was this review helpful? Yes No Good overall stereo Written By Michael, Littleton, CO on Saturday, October 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I really like this stereo.it was really easy to set up, sounds awesome and loss cool in my Bronco. I would say that I have tried all types of music and the sound produced continues to impress me. Pros: Sound, presentation, ease of set up, DVD picture Cons: HD radio does not ID song. Does not play music via Bluetooth, cannot plug my Samsung phone into any port to get it to work Was this review helpful? Yes No Very nice Written By Anonymous, Lake Charles, LA on Sunday, August 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Haven't been able to get it out of demo mode so I can't save any radio presets or the time. Other than that I love it. Pros: Great iPod control Cons: Hard to set up Crutchfield response on Monday, August 26, 2013 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase. Was this review helpful? Yes No AVH-P6300BT Written By GaryE, Van Nuys, CA on Tuesday, August 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I've been looking at this unit for months and it looks and sounds great!!!!!! Pros: Looks great in the car and sounds fantastic!!!!!! Cons: No cons here. Was this review helpful? Yes No Pioneer AVH-P6300BT Written By rc3iii, Asheville, NC on Monday, August 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Got this unit on a scratch and dent special. Great deal, unit was shipped with the wrong wiring harness, but crutchfield rectified the problem immediately. Sound great, and easy to use very happy. Pros: look and sounds great Cons: none so far Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Head Unit! Written By JohnP, Washington, IL on Monday, June 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Replaced the stock head unit in my 2012 Dodge Challenger RT. Fits perfectly. Easy to install, features are great. Works well with my iPhone 4s, and I use the SD card for additional music in case I dont want to plug in my iPhone. Pandora feature is awesome! With the additional harness recommended by my Crutchfield advisor, the steering wheel controls still work! One caveat - if you have a factory installed amplifier, dont miss the sentence in the installation instructions telling you to hook up the front output of the head unit to the rear speakers on the harness. It is the only way you will still hear your bluetooth phone through the car audio. You WILL lose the ability to fade front to rear, as the amplifier handles this feature. Pros: Touch screen is intuitve and easy to use. Great colors, and fit and finish is good overall. Cons: The removable face plate is all plastic, and doesnt seem very sturdy. I worry about removing it and breaking it. Also, the motorized display is a bit noisy and seems a bit cheaply made for the unit. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Spacing between MP3 Mixes Written By Lindy, FL on Sunday, May 26, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value How do I set the stereo to skip the spacing between MP3 mixes. There is a 3-5 second pause between MP2 none stop mixes when playing. Play them on another regular pioneer BT deck and there is not pause or silence when the tracks are changing over. Pros: Great sound Cons: spacing between mixes 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent System!!! Written By Patrick, Celebration, FL on Thursday, April 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Excellent system. For perfectly in my 2004 BMW 330i. Amazing features, easy to use and easy to hook up! Can't go wrong with this product!! Pros: Incredible features and options! Easy to use with touch screen. Cons: Only one is that I have a single DIN slot on my car but this product takes care of that issue perfectly! 2 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Robert, San Antonio Tx on Sunday, February 24, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great head unit. I've had it for about 2 weeks now and love everything about it. Sound quality is astonishing and you have complete control over every aspect of it. Plan to add nav soon (also pricey). All in all very pleased as it's the best deck I've ever owned. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good choice Written By Anonymous, Tamuning, Guam on Monday, December 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Pretty cool receiver. Looking forward to learning how to use the many features. It sounds a lot better than the factory stereo. Pros: Good sound, good picture, plays music from pandora and iPod Cons: Stupid parking brake wire, only enables video while parking brake is set. Complicated operation for all the features. Can't figure out how to play "top rated" playlist on iPod 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice Unit, High Price Written By Rich M, Pismo Beach, Ca on Thursday, October 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Pros: Nice unit. Easy to use. Smooth operation. Cons: High price. only USB is on the front. Planned on routing the iPod cable to glovebox but has to stick out the front. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The good, the bad & the ugly Written By Alan B., Spfld, MA on Sunday, September 16, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value THE GOOD: By far, the best sound quality I've gotten out of a head unit. I've tried many different brands and have to say that good sound, costs good money. I'm using this head unit through factory Bose amp and speaker setup and it made the speakers sound like they were upgraded. The iPhone/Pod control is superior to other brands, allowing full search and selection of albums, playlists, etc. THE BAD: The AppRadio function is close to worthless. I guess this is the 1st generation and it doesn't work near as good as they make it sound. First, it only allows for display of the App (when it works). App control is only with the newer AppRadios. You can NOT use IPhone maps, so you have to download NavMii or similar to have Nav without the pricey add on (seriously, why is Nav add on that much?). THE UGLY: The face of this stereo sticks out so far it embarrasses me to have it in my car, it looks completely out of place. With the display open, it is ok, as it draws attention away from how far it sticks out. Also, you have to plug your iPhone cable in on the face (also an add-on). The cable is clunky and looks terrible hanging off the front. Even my 8-year old AVIC-N3 setup at least gave me a rear connection that I could run to my armrest and keep hidden. Pros: - Sound quality - iPod controls Cons: - Poor AppRadio support - Appearance when display closed - Front hookup only for iPhone/Pod - Too expensive to not come with NAV built in 10 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Pioneer head unit Written By jacob, port huron, mi on Friday, July 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great product, fits seamlessly into my dodge Dakota. It's everything that i expected and some. Pros: Customizing, tuning, ease of use Cons: price 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No I'm happy. Written By Rainman, Cincinnati, Ohio on Thursday, May 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great product. This replaces a Valor 703W which cost more but was of lower quality (broke too soon through no fault of the operator). I found the quality difference as soon as I powered it up. My speakers never sounded so good! I'm eager to connect my bluetooth phone and see how that works. [Aside: The Valor produced an echo in hands-free phone mode and sounded terrible (unusable).] But the rest of the Pioneer features (including iPod) work up to or exceed my expectations. I recommend this product to anyone else. The $700 is a competitive price for the unit, but I hate shelling out that kind of money for a vehicle entertainment system. I did have to call support for a "senior moment" I had. That support gets 10 stars. The tech who answered seemed to know my product in and out with putting me on hold or even taking time to read some knowledge-base info, seemingly. I think how they do it is by associating my cell number with my order, and so when I rang, the number matched my invoice and routed me to the tech who was skilled in the product I bought -- all before anyone answered the phone! That's high-tech at its best. Anyway, the tech solved both my questions in a minute or two, but then I disconnected when I dropped my phone and didn't get to thank him for his expert service. Pros: Lots of features and inputs for a variety of music sources. Cons: I wish it had a secondary display that showed basic info while the main screen was in the closed position. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Buy far the best thing I have put in my car. I love the customization, and the quality of sound that this produces is absolutely incredible. With this unit, it blows my buddies Bose system out of the water.

Yes No Love This Unit Written By Sean202, Washington, DC on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Love this radio, bought a crappy brand from pep boys and the radian screen froze up on me, so i did research and come across this one. had a pioneer in the past, but this unit blows the other dvd radio out of the water!!!!!! 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Unit Written By RonS, Bozeman, Montana on Sunday, January 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I had a Jensen that was giving me fits and was sent back twice for repair. When it still didn't work I started shopping around. The Pioneer was spendy, but so worth it. Having inputs in the front makes connecting an ipod simple and the on screen menu allows for quick switching between features. This is the fourth DVD player I've owned (two Alpines in other vehicles) and this is by far the best unit. Pros: Easy of operation even with all the function options. The touchscreen makes all the difference Cons: Changing the tilt angle and the owner's manual. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The resolution of the display is 480 x 240 x RGB, for a total of 345,600 pixels. The touchscreen display features a anti-glare coating, so you can see it any time of day or night. The touchscreen display allows you to control this unit and a paired Bluetooth device, or a connected component such as an iPod/iPhone, Satellite radio receiver, HD Radio tuner, or USB Flash memory. Menus appear on screen for making function choices, audio adjustments, and setting up the system. Adjustable Angle: You can adjust the angle of the motorized-retractable 7" monitor from 50- to 110-degrees to suit your viewing preference. You can also adjust the LCD panel slide position, so that the panel is set back or forward. The LCD panel will automatically be adjusted to the same angle & position the next time the LCD panel is opened. Auto Open/Close: When this feature is active, the display automatically opens when the unit is turned on and closes when the unit is turned off. Audio Only: You can listen to audio from a CD, SD-card, USB device, or iPod/iPhone without retracting the monitor. However, there will be no display of song information, since the unit doesn't offer a secondary display. Multilingual Display: The Pioneer AVH-P6300BT offers English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish text. Video Adjustments: You can store numerous video settings for each source and the optional rear view camera; including brightness (adjusts the black intensity), contrast (adjusts contrast) color (adjusts color saturation), hue (adjusts the tone of color), temperature (adjust the color temperature), RGB (adjusts phase shifting), and black level (emphasizes dark portions of images). Widescreen Modes: You can choose from the following widescreen modes when playing back video: Full: A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the horizontal direction only, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 picture without any omissions. Just: The picture is enlarged slightly at the center and the amount of enlargement increases horizontally toward the ends of the picture. Zoom: A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion both vertically and horizontally; ideal for a 16:9 screen. Cinema: A picture is enlarged by the same proportion as Full or Zoom in the horizontal direction and by an intermediate proportion between Full and Zoom in the vertical direction. Normal: A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is. On Screen Display Color And Background Adjustment: The color of the on-screen display can be set to red, amber, green, blue or white. The background can be set to one of four preset still images, one of three preset movie images, a stored JPEG image, a video image from the external input, the clock, or turned Off. Front-Panel Controls With Adjustable Illumination: In addition to the touchscreen controls, the unit includes frequently used buttons along the unit's lower front-panel. The color of the button illumination can be set to red, amber, green, blue, white, or scan (constantly cycling through the color spectrum). You can also create a custom color using the unit's on-screen menu. Detachable Control Panel: Part of the unit's control-panel detaches, so you can take it with you when leave your vehicle to help prevent against theft. If the front-panel is not detached from the head unit within four seconds of turning off the ignition, a warning tone sounds, to remind you. Note: No face case is included with this unit. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can be purchased for this unit. Dimmer: To prevent the display from being too bright at night, the display is automatically dimmed when the car's headlights are turned on. You can turn the dimmer on or off. The automatic dimmer function only works when the orange/white illumination wire in the wiring harness is connected to the vehicle's headlight circuit. Parking Brake Interlock: This unit has a parking brake interlock system that prohibits viewing of video programming and operating certain controls when the vehicle is in motion. In order to watch video on the in-dash monitor, the vehicle must be parked with the parking brake engaged. Audio Section 24-Bit/96kHz DAC: For superb quality audio playback from DVDs, CDs, and flash media, the Pioneer AVH-P6300BT is equipped with a 24-bit/96kHz digital-to-analog converter. MOSFET50 Internal Amplifier: This receiver is equipped with a 50 watts x 4 (peak) MOSFET amplifier for low distortion, high power output. The amplifier is strong enough to power small subwoofers to moderate volume levels in compact cars and pickups. For higher volume levels from subwoofers, an optional amplifier may be connected to the preamp outputs. CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the AVH-P6300BT are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs are as follows: CEA2006 Specs: 14 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N) Continuous Power Output: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 50Hz-15kHz, 5% THD) Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels (or 50 watts x 2 channels at 4 ohms + 70 watts x 1 channel at 2 ohms for subwoofer) EEQ (Easy EQ): There are seven stored equalizer curves which you can easily recall at any time. You can choose from - Powerful, Natural, Vocal, Super Bass, Flat, Custom 1, or Custom 2. 8-Band Graphic EQ: The Custom 1 and Custom 2 EQ modes allow you to manually adjust the level (+/- 12dB) of each band of the head unit's 8-band graphic equalizer (40Hz, 80Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz, 1kHz, 2.5kHz, 8kHz, and10kHz). Auto EQ (Optional): The auto-equalizer automatically measures your car's interior acoustic characteristics, and then creates an auto-equalizer curve base on that information. The Pioneer CD-MC20 Auto-EQ microphone (130CDMC20, sold separately) is required to use this function. The Pioneer CD-MC20 Auto-EQ microphone plugs into your compatible Pioneer A/V receiver's front-panel 3.5mm input. The Auto-EQ microphone should be placed in the center of your vehicle's driver seat headrest facing forward for EQ measurement. Sonic Center Control: Sound that is suited for the listening position can easily be created with this function. You can adjust sound more toward the listening position left (7) to right (7). Loudness: The Loudness function compensates for deficiencies in the low- and high-frequency ranges at low volume. You can set the Loudness to High, Mid, Low, or Off. Bass Boost: You can easily boost the subwoofer bass level by using the Bass Boost function. The Bass Boost feature allows you increase the subwoofer level from 0 to +6. Advanced Sound Retriever: The Advanced Sound Retriever automatically enhances compressed audio and restores the original richness of the recording. When the Advanced Sound Retriever is on, the high frequency range is compensated to match the frequency response curve to the original sound. There are two available levels of the Advanced Sound Retriever effect. Source Level Adjustment (SLA): This function lets you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume when switching between sources. Settings are based on the volume level of the FM tuner, which remains unchanged. Each source can be independently adjusted from -4 dB to +4 dB. Three 4-Volt Preamp Outputs: The Pioneer AVH-P6300BT is equipped with three 4-Volt preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The front and rear speakers are fading with high-pass crossover filters, while the subwoofer output is non-fading with a low-pass crossover filter. Front and Rear Preamp Outputs: If you do not want low frequency sounds to play from the front or rear speaker preamp outputs (or speaker outputs), you can turn on the 12dB/octave High Pass Filter. The HPF has a selectable cutoff frequency (50, 63, 80, 100, or 125 Hz). Only frequencies higher than those in the selected range are output through the speakers. Subwoofer Output: The unit has a pair of dedicated non-fading RCA subwoofer outputs with a low-pass filter, phase adjustment, and output level. When the subwoofer output is turned on, you can select the frequency of the 18dB/octave low pass filter (50, 63, 80, 100, or 125 Hz), select the subwoofer phase (normal/reverse), and the subwoofer gain (+6 to -24). Rear Channel Speaker Output: You can choose to use the rear channel output (speaker and preout) for full-range speaker or subwoofer. If you select "subwoofer", you can connect a 4-ohm subwoofer directly to each rear speaker lead, or a 2-ohm subwoofer to one of the rear speaker leads, without using an external amplifier. Telephone Mute/Attenuator: Sound from your system is muted or attenuated automatically when a phone signal is received when you have hardwired your mobile phone system to the mute wire (yellow/black) of this unit. Radio Functions Supertuner IIID AM/FM Tuner: The Supertuner IIID features Feed Forward Control, which avoids multi-path interference. This pre-detection of interference enables quick filter control and results in less distortion. In addition, the Supertuner IIID creates enhanced stereo during multi-path interference, unlike conventional tuners that collapse to mono. Digital processing reduces distortion, and improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio and stereo separation. Advanced analog technology improves signal processing sensitivity. RDS: The Radio Data System (RDS) feature displays radio broadcast information such as artist, title, and album when listening to compatible AM/FM stations. BSM (Best Stations Memory): BSM lets you automatically store the six strongest stations under preset buttons 1-6 of the currently tuned band. The tuner has 3 FM banks and 1 AM bank.

Pandora limits the number of skips allowed. Thumbs Up/Down: You can give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down to help Pandora personalize stations to suit your preferences. Bookmarking: The song or artist currently being played can be bookmarked & stored in your Pandora account.

Test ID: ALB
Albumin, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Plasma or serum levels of albumin are frequently used to assess nutritional status
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Albumin is a carbohydrate-free protein, which constitutes 55% to 65% of total plasma protein. It maintains oncotic plasma pressure, is involved in the transport and storage of a wide variety of ligands, and is a source of endogenous amino acids. Albumin binds and solubilizes various compounds, including bilirubin, calcium, long-chain fatty acids, toxic heavy metal ions, and numerous pharmaceuticals.
Hypoalbuminemia is caused by several factors: impaired synthesis due either to liver disease (primary) or due to diminished protein intake (secondary); increased catabolism as a result of tissue damage and inflammation; malabsorption of amino acids; and increased renal excretion (eg, nephrotic syndrome).
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
> or =12 months: 3.5-5.0 g/dL
Reference values have not been established for patients who are <12 months of age.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Hyperalbuminemia is of little diagnostic significance except in the case of dehydration. When plasma or serum albumin values fall below 2.0 g/dL, edema is usually present.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Albumin values determined by the bromcresol green method may not be identical to the albumin values determined by electrophoresis.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Kitzbuhel is absolutely synonymous with Austrian skiing.
Situated in a 'snow corner' of the Alps, the fashionable resort of Kitzbühel presents a modern state of the art ski circuit covering 148km of pistes. Famous above all for the Men's Downhill Race on the Hahnenkamm, this lively and sophisticated resort has something for everyone, from young to old and from beginner to expert. Non-skiers on a ski holiday in Kitzbuhel can enjoy well-prepared walking paths or join an excursion to the historic cities of Salzburg or Innsbruck. Dating back to the 14th century, Kitzbühel's painted medievel houses, stylish shops, concealed passageways and charming cafés are fascinating to explore. Ski holidays in Kitzbühel offer an excellent choice of après ski and nightlife.

I bought a Wine Experts Pinot Grigio wine kit and the packet of isinglass is cloudy and has white bits floating around in it. I suspect it is bad. Has anyone seen that before?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Homebrewing Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for dedicated home brewers and serious enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I have never used isinglass, but was sufficiently interested to read around the subject a bit.
It seems like that if you are talking about liquid isinglass, it does have a fairly limited shelf life. This website [1] suggests that isinglass has a shelf-life of 4 - 8 weeks tops if stored at below room temperatures. Above 20C / 68F the proteins in it can denature (alter the protein structure). This can lead to white lumps floating in the surface of the liquid.
Sounds a bit like what you are seeing. It is possible that the kit was stored at too high a temperature prior to purchase.
The same website suggests that it is better to use powdered isinglass or flocs (==flakes) since these have a better shelf life and are easier to store.

A pair of Maryland lawmakers are raising concerns about the privacy and safety of gun owners after a newspaper in New York state published the names and addresses of gun permit holders in two counties.
The Journal News posted an interactive map showing the details of every permit holder in Rockland and Westchester counties earlier this week. The data were compiled from public records obtained through a freedom of information request, according to the newspaper.
"I find the publication of such information extremely disturbing and frankly, quite frightening," wrote Del. Kevin Kelly (D-Dist. 1B) of Cumberland in a letter Thursday to Maryland State Police Superintendent Marcus L. Brown.
If a criminal was looking for handguns to steal, such a map would show whose homes to burglarize, Kelly wrote, adding that lawful permit holders were being treated like registered sex offenders.
Kelly urged the state police to be mindful of such privacy concerns when responding to the similar public information requests he believes will be filed.
Greg Shipley, a spokesman for Maryland State Police, said the question of whether the agency would need to disclose a similar list of handgun permit holders was under review by command staff.
In the past, the department has released whether specific individuals have handgun permits, in accordance with the state's public information laws, he said.
Maryland issued 956 new handgun permits and 1,279 renewal permits in 2012, according to data from the state's StateStat system.
Meanwhile, Del. Patrick L. McDonough (R-Dist. 7) of Middle River announced Friday that he was proposing legislation to prevent newspapers and other publications from printing personal or private information about firearm owners.
Not only did the New York news story make gun owners vulnerable, but it told potential criminals which households might not put up armed resistance if attacked, McDonough said.
"Publications shouldn't be able to endanger people's lives," he said.
But such proposals "present a complex stew of First Amendment, Second Amendment and public policy considerations," said. Sen. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Dist. 20) of Takoma Park, a professor of constitutional law at American University in Washington, D.C.
The First Amendment allows the press to publish essentially any information that's not defamatory, obscene or an incitement to criminal activity, Raskin said.
There's far more latitude to regulate the government disclosure of information than to tell citizens they cannot discuss public information, he said.
McDonough said he had not received a finished proposal from the bill drafters and was not sure of the language the legislation ultimately would use.

State Budget Cuts Could Take Away Hospice Care For Poor
Gov. Pat Quinn says the state's Medicaid system is on the verge of collapse, and to save it, billions of dollars in spending must be cut. One service that could end on the chopping block is hospice care for the poor.

Ana recently gave an interview to Novosti newspaper in Serbia that focused on her love of literature.
The following is a translated extract from the question-and-answer session:
"Only he who knows the destination knows the way" – Lao Tzu. You have chosen this statement for your Twitter profile.
I like it because it reminds me that people nowadays often judge others too much. It is ungrateful to analyze and criticize a person you don't know at all, as it's impossible to know all the details from that person's life. Everybody has the right to have their own wishes and goals and follow their own path, which they believe is the right path. When you have your own goal, you are the one making a path towards it!
You have mentioned that The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari is one of the best books you have read. The author says, at the very beginning, that people are masters of their own destiny and that there are no tasks or things that can't be solved. Do you agree?
Yes, I do. I think that when you honestly want something sincerely and when you give your best to achieve it, that is when you can make it! Sometimes we are not conscious of how strong we really are.
"When every day seem identical, it is because we have stopped noticing the good things that are happening in life" – Paulo Coelho wrote in The Alchemist. How closely do you agree with this thought?
We easily fall into monotony, life is today like a roller coaster, so I often have the feeling that every day is about businesses and obligations and that we have no time for ourselves. It is important to find half an hour or an hour daily for yourself, to stop and notice the nice things that are actually everywhere around.

Lindsay Lohan and Alec Baldwin (Twitter)
With her court-mandated rehab stint set to begin on May 2, the 26-year-old made sure to get her Broadway fix before being locked away for 90 days. On Tuesday, she took in a performance of "Orphans" at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater in Manhattan -- and made her way backstage after the show.
"Great catching up with @AFalecbaldwin," she tweeted, along with this photo of herself -- wearing a sheer top and exposed black bra -- with the actor.
Baldwin, who appears in the show with Ben Foster and Tom Sturridge, seemed happy to have the meet and greet, tweeting back, "So nice to see you, LL. It's been so long."
Of course, the evening wasn't without incident -- we are talking about Lindsay Lohan after all. According to a report, she was 45 minutes late to the show, which is a huge no-no in the world of theater.
Despite missing most of the actual show, Lohan still offered her review for the play, which is about two brothers who kidnap a gangster. It's a "must see," she tweeted to her over 6 million Twitter followers.
Here's hoping that when she's done with rehab -- her sixth stint! -- and making movies again, critics are as kind about her performances.

Prospect Global signs potash supply agreement with Sichuan Chemical
12:05 PM MDT | October 22, 2012 | Lindsay Frost
Sichuan Chemical Industry Holding (Chengdu, China) has signed an agreement with Prospect Global Resources (Denver) to purchase at least 500,000 mt/year of potash, or 25% of the projected output, from Prospect Global's planned American West Potash field at Holbrook, AZ. The $2-billion deal is over a 10-year period, and is a take-or-pay contract—backed by a letter of credit—and also gives an option for the American West field to sell and Sichuan Chemical to purchase an additional amount of potash, the companies say. The American West site is...

Hello guys,
I'm preparing for the Intel ISEF at present and have a couple of questions:
How many research journals, on average, do participants refer to?
Are there any sites on the internet that are of help when gathering research journals? A lot of sites tend to require payment for access to the research papers.
Any tips for the layout, font etc for preparing my project report?
How long should the final report be? I've heard around the 50 page mark should suffice.
Thanks very much for your help!

This series features the plenary lectures from the Evolution and Christian Faith conference in Grand Rapids, MI, held from June 20 to July 2, 2015.
The history of interpretation of Adam from Genesis to the 1st Century reveals a bold and astonishing diversity in which the authors made of Adam what they needed of Adam.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
It is our sincere hope that, above all else, the film can become a focal point for some of the big questions that inevitably arise at the intersection of science and faith.
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
Cain was a "logical" candidate of sorts because his act was the only truly wicked act recorded in the chapters preceding the flood story. Cain's murder of Abel, therefore, was understood not just an isolated wicked act, but a crucial factor in God's decision to destroy the world in a deluge. One clear example is from the apocryphal book Wisdom of Solomon 10:3-4.
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
Geologists Davidson and Wolgemuth address the widely promulgated notion that the Flood can account for the earth's complex geology, and that all genuine Christians should accept this viewpoint.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
Atrahasis is important to biblical scholars because of it similarity to Genesis 2-9. Both stories share a similar storyline: creation, population growth and rebellion, flood. They also share some important details within that storyline.

There comes a time when you have to either cut bait some more or finally get to fishing.
I've got the block box to a point where I can use clamps and temporary stuff to try to make a plastic block.
Today's the day. If you're in Texas and you hear a scream not unlike a bobcat's mating call or a hawk verbalizing displeasure, it worked. If there's nothing but silence, I'm working on fixing whatever ain't working.
I have an advantage over most people on stuff like this. I have lots of failures for a reference point. I've known failure many times. I don't look at failing as so much a bad thing as I did when I was young. The reasoning behind the more mature vision on failing is I've seen a lot of those who are frozen in place with the fear of failing.
I never want to be one of those. So if I succeed credit trying. If I fail today, remember there's tomorrow. I'm trying.

Now that you have it working could you explain the process that you use to make a block?
You mentioned pressure -- I assume that heat involved?

Hello, I am Bob.
Harvey and I are working on this together. The brick was made using nothing but a threaded rod to provide pressure and manpower to turn the rod. The entire machine with the exception of the threaded rod and the nut was made from scrap steel.
That is part of the goal of this project, to make it easy to build and inexpensive to operate. No electricity, motors or engines required, just manpower.
Here are a couple photos:

We think we have a workable model to introduce to the world now. It's open source and I've listed all the materials used plus measurements so anyone anywhere can build one and start making blocks. Hopefully others will jump in and make improvements and we all win.
I understand it's not for the consumption here in the U.S. unless you want to make your own retaining wall out of recycled plastic blocks. Or you are out in the country far enough from codes and inspectors to build your own house the way you want.
Read my blog and compare what we've offered to what others are doing.

Two weeks and a lot has happened. Yesterday an article on the blocks came out on the Mother Earth News blog. The new website is hitting on seven out of nine cylinders and things are getting busy, very busy.

Interesting idea
A couple of random thoughts
- Have you tried using other materials to compress? In some places
they use rammed/compressed earth blocks to build houses/etc
(sort of like the old sod-homes in the great plains). It might be
interesting to know whether the machine would work for that
or not, and what mods are needed, etc, etc.
- It looks like the one problem (I use that term loosely) is that the
blocks are held together with wire. Am I right? If so, that's a
consumable. The wire is the critical part -- in your compression
tests, for example, it's the wire that holds the whole thing
together. I could see the wire being the weak link. In a devastated
area, wire might be hard to find, of unknown/random size and
strength and so on. It could also create a black market for wire,
thwarting efforts to bring back electric power... Also, if the wire
is ferrous, it will rust in rain storms -- weakening the structure.
Ideally, some other method of binding the plastic together would
be used. Could a bit of heat be applied, slightly melting the plastic,
leading to the pieces all being sort of welded together?
- Put stops in the compression chamber so that a plate can be
placed in it, parallel to the compression plate (the one attached to the
screw). This would allow the final length of the resulting block to
be adjusted.

text: Dansby is faster than a 79, more like a 84. He's a converted safety. His 40 is the mid 4.5's. Also, Bess is very, very underrated. But my biggest problem is with Edds. With the ratings they currently have on him, not only is he currently unuseable, but he's not even developmental. They have his speed at 73, with 66 accel, and 61 strength. He runs a 4.6. He should be close to 80, and his accel should be in the 80 range as well. Also, though not as serious, Misi is stronger than 66. The guy started as a DT for a few games. Sometimes I wonder if the people who rate the players watch any game tape, or even look at combine stats.

To ensure that Denver children and youth don't experience hunger due to a lack of food, the Office of Children's Affairs (OCA) is sponsoring the Summer Food Program and the After School Meals Program. Meals are low in fat, preservative free, always come with fresh fruit and provide children with up to 5 food groups. Meals can be breakfast, lunch, supper or a snack. OCA monitors the food distribution sites and conducts training sessions to ensure that all children receive safe and healthy meals to prevent hunger and improve overall health.
After School Meals Program:
Snacks and supper meals are served in twenty (20) recreation center sites. The goal for the 7 month period between November 2012 and May 2013 is 33,600 meals. The monthly average goal is 4,800 meals. Funding is provided through the Child Care and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) for children 18 and younger in low income areas. Sites also provide activities such as homework assistance, sports, music and places where young people can relax in a safe environment.
Overall Goal
The overall goal of the Healthy Kids program is to reduce the number of overweight and obese children in Denver by 5 percent (5%) by 2017 (from 34% to 29% in 5 years). See the chart of overweight and obese children. (PDF)

With a little imagination, there's hope for the burned out strip malls and acres of asphalt formerly known as "suburbia." They can be turned into active, usable, livable places.
That's the word from Ellen Dunham-Jones, an award-winning architect, Georgia Tech professor and author of "Retrofitting Suburbia". I caught up with Ellen at the International Making Cities Livable conference in Portland, Oregon, a town I've written fondly about because it helps people to be weird.
According to Ellen, "Underperforming properties present tremendous opportunities." In some cases, Big Box buildings can be re-purposed. In others, a stream underneath a parking lot could be returned to its former splendor.
Here, she summarizes her TED talk in three minutes: Continue reading
