What's evaporative cooler?
Evaporative coolers, often called "swamp coolers", are cooling systems that use only water and a blower to circulate air. When warm, dry (unsaturated) air is pulled through a watersoaked pad, water is evaporated and is absorbed as water vapor into the air.
The air is cooled in the process and the humidity is increased. The evaporator cooling technology is an energy-efficient alternative to compressor-based cooling. In dry and arid regions, evaporative cooling can meet most or all building cooling loads using one-fourth the energy of conventional equipment. It can also be applied costeffectively when integrated with conventional chiller systems, which can greatly improve a facility's load profile.

Blackhawks' Brookbank solid filling in for Seabrookby Brian Hedger
CHICAGO -- Defenseman Sheldon Brookbank filled in admirably for the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday in a 2-0 victory at United Center in Game 3 of their Western Conference First Round series against the St. Louis Blues.
The victory pulled the defending Stanley Cup champions within 2-1 in the best-of-7 series heading into Game 4 Wednesday in Chicago (9:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, RDS, FS-MW, CSN-CH), in which Brookbank will again take the place of suspended defenseman Brent Seabrook.
Playing alongside Duncan Keith on the top pairing, Brookbank played 14:32 and assisted on a goal by Jonathan Toews 4:10 into the game that wound up being enough to win. Brookbank blocked two shots in a solid performance.
"I'm not saying it's easy, but [Keith] makes it pretty easy on you," Brookbank said Tuesday. "He gets back there quick and makes a lot of good plays, and he closes on guys fast. So it makes my job easier."
In the past, Brookbank played some minutes with Keith sporadically. Helping him adjust more was playing almost all his games on the third pairing this season next to speedy, puck-moving defenseman Nick Leddy.
"They're both really good skaters," Brookbank said. "They get back to pucks so fast and everything like that. We're pretty fortunate here that we've got a lot of good [defensemen] to play with, so pretty much whoever you play with, it's a pretty good player."
Seabrook has two games left in his suspension for delivering an illegal high hit to Blues captain David Backes at 15:09 of the third period in Game 2 at Scottrade Center. Backes missed Game 3 because of an upper-body injury.
Rather than splitting up both of the top defense pairs, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville opted to keep his shutdown pair of Johnny Oduya and Niklas Hjalmarsson together by slotting Brookbank into Seabrook's spot next to Keith.
The experiment went much better than when Brookbank filled in for Keith next to Seabrook a year ago in Game 4 of a Western Conference Semifinal series against the Los Angeles Kings. Keith served a one-game suspension then, which meant Brookbank was called to duty after not playing for about three weeks.
He played 12 shifts for 6:50 and finished with a minus-2 rating. This time there wasn't as much down time between starts.
"I don't want to make an excuse or anything like that, but it was a long break last time when I got in there [last year]," Brookbank said. "It was the longest break I'd ever had between games, so that maybe had something to do with it. I don't know. But I felt a lot better [Monday] night and it felt good to get that win."

February 16, 2012
The reductions would start with 31,300 uniformed positions, or 1.4 percent, eliminated in the 12 months starting Oct. 1, cutting the force size to 2,238,400 from 2,269,700 this year, according to the proposal. "You are kicking people out of the military at a time when unemployment is not only a major challenge, it is also a primary factor in the upcoming presidential election," Sharp said. "They will have to start the machinery and the process of implementing these drawdowns this year."
Pentagon May Oust Troops Involuntarily to Meet Reductions in Budget Plan
Viola Gienger and Roxana Tiron / Bloomberg
(February 13, 2012) -- The Defense Department may have to force soldiers, Marines or other members of the military out of the services for the first time since the aftermath of the Cold War to achieve the spending reductions in its budget proposal.
The Pentagon plans to cut 67,100 soldiers from active and reserve Army units and the Army National Guard in the five years starting Oct. 1, as well as 15,200 from the active and reserve ranks of the Marine Corps as part of an effort to save $487 billion over a decade, according to the budget sent to Congress today. The Navy and Air Force would lose fewer people -- 8,600 and 1,700 respectively -- because of their role in a strategic shift toward the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East.
The military will first try buying out contracts or offering bonuses for people to leave, while working to keep those with valuable specialties such as cyber warfare and acquisitions, according to Travis Sharp, a fellow at the Center for a New American Security, a Washington policy group, who attended a Pentagon briefing for analysts last month.
"I was surprised that they were going to complete the reductions to the Army and the Marine Corps in just five years," Sharp said in an interview before the budget was released. "What they told us is that they will try to use those types of positive incentives to the greatest extent possible, but that involuntary separations would probably still be necessary."
The Pentagon has said it is aiming to a create a smaller, more agile military. Special operations forces, whose commandos killed Osama bin Laden last year, would be expanded.
Republican Opposition
Republicans in Congress already have signaled they will challenge the Pentagon reductions when lawmakers take up the proposed fiscal 2013 budget that President Barack Obama sent to Congress today.
Representative Howard "Buck" McKeon, the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, cited a comment by White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew in an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" that "the time for austerity is not today."
"They'll have a tough time explaining that to the 100,000 troops who will be forced from service under the president's new budget plan," McKeon of California said today in a statement.
The cuts, spurred in part by plans to wind down the war in Afghanistan in the next three years, would mark the first time the US military has forced personnel out of the services since the larger troop reduction after the end of the Cold War with the Soviet Union.
Service Options
The military services, which decide how to achieve the cuts, may be able to tighten re-enlistment standards and offer incentives to leave, Defense Department Comptroller Robert Hale said.
"I don't think we can stand here and say there won't be any involuntary separation," Hale told reporters at the Pentagon today. "We have very high retention right now with the economy still fairly weak. If that changes, it will be easier. If it doesn't, it will be harder."
The department will seek to "do this in as humane a way as we can," Hale said.
The prospect of cutting the US military to about 2.15 million people by October 2017, a reduction of 92,600 starting next year, creates political risks for Obama in an election year, and economic risks as military personnel enter the civilian workforce in coming years, Sharp said. Including reductions in the current year, the plan would eliminate 123,900 positions from all the branches.
'Kicking People Out'
"You are kicking people out of the military at a time when unemployment is not only a major challenge, it is also a primary factor in the upcoming presidential election," Sharp said. "They will have to start the machinery and the process of implementing these drawdowns this year."
The reductions would start with 31,300 uniformed positions, or 1.4 percent, eliminated in the 12 months starting Oct. 1, cutting the force size to 2,238,400 from 2,269,700 this year, according to the proposal.
After the Cold War, the military pared its active-duty ranks by 494,000 from 1991 to 1995, according to the Defense Department comptroller's office. That included 216,000 from the Army and 21,000 from the Marine Corps. Further cuts followed in the next few years, ending just before the Sept. 11 terror attacks by al-Qaeda.
Junior Officers
The Army forced more than 5,300 out of its officer ranks alone in the five years ended Sept. 30, 1997, according to a report published in October 2000 by a researcher at the US Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute. The study found forced exits also contributed to attrition in the ranks of younger officers.
"With junior officers witnessing such an array of policies designed to entice or force over 23,000 of their peers and role models to leave, it is not surprising that their loyalty to the military has been redefined with a healthy dose of skepticism," the researcher, Leonard Wong, wrote in the report.
The Army's budget director, Major General Phillip McGhee, told reporters at the Pentagon today that his service will rely first on on-time and early retirements, reducing recruitment and other steps before resorting to involuntary measures.
"We really want to put minimum stress on the force as we do the rampdown," McGhee said.
Protracted Conflicts
In addition to focusing more national security attention on Asia and the Middle East, the Pentagon's revised strategy outlined last month sets aside previous assumptions that the military plan for large and protracted conflicts such as Iraq and Afghanistan.
The cuts in uniformed personnel are in keeping with proposed steps such as eliminating eight Army brigades, five Marine infantry battalions and four of the Corps's tactical air squadrons. The Air Force would lose 303 aircraft and six fighter squadrons, while the Navy jettisons seven cruisers and 2 dock landing ships.
"In preparing this budget, we endeavored to avoid the mistakes of previous drawdowns that attempted to maintain more force structure than the budget could afford," the department wrote in a Jan. 26 summary of its five-year priorities.
Cuts by Service
Today's budget proposal fleshes out the cuts for each of the military branches.
Army forces would be reduced by less than 1 percent to 1,115,300 in 2013 and then drop to 1,048,200 in 2017. That's still far greater troop strength than in February 2002, a year before the US invasion of Iraq, when the Army numbered about 480,000 on active duty.
The Navy would have 1.7 percent fewer personnel, or 385,200 in 2013, and faces a reduction of 3.9 percent to a total of 376,600 people in 2017.
The Marines would be down to 236,900 in 2013, or 2 percent fewer than this year. By the end of 2017, the Marines face a reduction of 8.3 percent from this year to 221,700.
The Air Force will have 501,000 personnel in 2013, or 1.9 percent fewer than this year. In 2017, Air Force personnel will decline to 499,300.

Houston arts folks are still reeling from the news that most of the on-air staff at classical radio station KUHA-FM was laid off Thursday morning. The Dallas Morning News called it "bad news"; Culturemap Houston's Joel Luks called it a "bloodbath." The layoffs, which included some behind-the-scenes employees as well, meant the end of long-time show The Front Row and its producer Bob Stevenson. There is already an online petition in circulation politely pleading for the return of the show.
The Front Row featured in-depth interviews with artists and art organizations—usually from the musical and theatrical arts, but it often included enthusiastic interviews with visual artists. Just in the past few weeks, artists Michael Crowder and Todd Hebert were interviewed, as was filmmaker Barbara Hammer, in town for the Houston Cinema Arts Festival, just Wednesday. (Podcasts are sill online.)
Now, according to a KUHA press release, The Front Row is being "re-imagined into multi-platform local content that exposes artists and arts organizations to wider audiences," said Lisa Trapani Shumate, executive director and general manager of Houston Public Media.
When a dozen employees were let go in February 2011 as part of a reorganization plan that combined KUHF 88.7, KUHA Classical 91.7 and PBS affiliate KUHT Channel 8, Shumate said, "This is a one-time move we're going to make to align expenses and revenues." But Culturemap also reports that Shumate let go several more staff members in June, including station manager Debra Fraser. Fraser's departure upset the station's most generous single donor, who withdrew a $500,000 matching challenge upon learning of Shumate's decision.
Since the news of these latest layoffs came at the very tail end of KUHA's membership drive, it will be interesting to see if any of their members balk at mailing those checks in support of now non-existent programs.

Leicester have goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel available again for the visit of Championship leaders Southampton.
Schmeichel served a one-match ban against Bury in the Carling Cup in midweek following his red card in the league draw at Nottingham Forest. He is likely to replace Chris Weale in goal.
Schmeichel`s return means the Foxes are pretty much at full strength, with strikers David Nugent and Darius Vassell expected to shake off the knocks that they picked up at the City Ground.
Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson made 10 changes in the cup on Tuesday night and three of those - Jeffrey Schlupp, Lloyd Dyer and Paul Gallagher - were on the scoresheet so they could have forced their way into the Swede`s plans.
Defenders Paul Konchesky and John Pantsil and midfielders Andy King, Richie Wellens, Neil Danns and Gelson Fernandes are also available for recalls.
Leaders Southampton are once again without midfielder Richard Chaplow.
Chaplow serves the final game of the three-match ban he received for his sending-off as a substitute against Barnsley a fortnight ago.
Boss Nigel Adkins has named the same starting XI for the last three matches and, with no new injury worries, could stick with the side which secured wins against the Tykes, Ipswich and Millwall.
However, Adkins said this week he will have to freshen up the team at some point so Morgan Schneiderlin, Danny Fox and Steve De Ridder will come into his thinking.
Defender Radhi Jaidi (knee) and striker Lee Barnard (ankle) are yet to figure this season and will not be rushed back.

Goran II was the rebel, the Mad Goran, who was racked with demons and prone to racket-tossing tantrums and chronic, ill-timed self-destruction. Finally, there was the Emergency, or 911, Goran, whose task was to step in and sort out all the psychic chaos; the Goran who famously intervened when the Croat was about to implode and blow his chance to finally win Wimbledon, by telling the two other Gorans to get a grip. "Okay, now you have to calm down," insisted Emergency Goran. "This is your last chance. You have to cool it. You can't afford to be crazy in the Wimbledon final." Of course, tennis has had its share of funnymen. Ilie Nastase, Jimmy Connors, Yannick Noah, Pancho Segura and Whitney Reed could all get stadiums rolling in waves of laughter.

Aside from the obvious(no damage on some of the characters, no time-out), I used cheats that disabled hit-stun(kind of annoying; I wasn't 100% sure what it did at first), turned off the limitations on chain combos(so ppppppppppp is now a combo) and increased character speed across the board(see what this one does to Captain Commando and Megaman!). Hilarity ensues.

Addis Ababa, November 09, 2017(GMN) Peace and stability is restored in areas bordering Oromia and Somali regional states as well as other parts of the country, except few pocket areas, Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn said.
Briefing local journalists today, Hailemariam said the conflicts in border areas of the regions were not about demarcation as some people tried to frame. They were instigated and orchestrated mainly by groups hugely involved in illegally trading chat.
Not only did these groups instigated the conflicts, but also formed coalition with terrorist groups to carry out catastrophic acts that led to the deaths of innocent people and the displacement of hundreds of thousands, the Premier pointed out.
He stated that most of the culprits are under arrest and the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission is investigating human rights violations committed so that measures could be taken.
Federal and regional forces, in collaboration with the active participation of the peace loving public, have controlled and maintained peace and security in the country, the PM noted.
Hailemariam said a taskforce comprised of federal and regional members was established to quickly address the rehabilitation process as soon as possible.
The restoration of the country's peace and security demonstrates the strong foundation laid on the existing federal system that has ensured unity within diversity of its peace loving people, he stressed.
He urged the public to pursue its strong commitment towards the fight against poverty as peace and stability are secured.
The government will relentlessly fight rent-seeking which is the arch enemy of Ethiopia's rapid economic growth, Hailemariam emphasized, and added that "it is a fight that we have to sustain until economic transformation is brought about." (ENA)


text: Hi, I am an owner (6 months now) and a big fan of the Motorola Droid. Anyway I want to start using my phone as an MP3 player and I was wondering if it was possible to stream audio and have control of of the Droid via my car's stereo system. My current vehicle isn't capable of this function but my next vehicle (Either the 2011 Ford Mustang or 2011 Chevy Camaro) have audio systems that can. So is it possible to stream audio via Bluetooth or will I need a separate attachment? Plus can I get instructions for setting this up? Thanks.

The Great Compassion Water and Land Dharma Service 2012 Concluded with Dignities and Compassionate Vows
The Great Compassion Water and Land Dharma Service 2012 Concluded with Dignities and Compassionate Vows
In the afternoon of the 1st of December 2012, the 8-day Great Compassion Water and Land Dharma Service which took place at the DDM World Center for Buddhist Education was drawn to an end with dignities, and with compassionate vows made by thousands of devotees whilst wholeheartedly chanting the holy name 'Nanmo Amitoufo' in the Grand Buddha Hall.
DDM Abbot President Venerable Guo Dong stated that peace on earth is attained when our mindset stays in peace, so 'building a pure land on earth' is not just a slogan but practical evidence that can be scrutinized.
The year 2012 is the 20th anniversary of 'Protecting the Spiritual Environment' for DDM. The DDM Sangha encouraged one to carry the pious attitude practiced in the 8-day service to everyday life for peace, and to have gratitude at heart when searching for resolutions in the face of daily difficulties.
Only strength rises from our vows, the Abbot President said. The DDM Sangha is committed to 'building a pure land on earth' with every devotee, to making good vows to build a better future for next generations, and to promoting the Dharma and the Chan joy.

Discussion in 'Dog Health' started by Dogster, Feb 22, 2012.
HA HA, Tigerlily!!! We keep posting at the SAME TIME!!!! LOL!!!!
good luck, Dogster, hope Shivon wakes up as her usual self tomorrow!!
//"HA HA, Tigerlily!!! We keep posting at the SAME TIME!!!!"//
is there any internet nickname for that? for simultaneous posting??
Thank you!!!! She's getting better as I speak type!!!
Don't know... Hey!!! the apostrophe is working again!!! LOL!!!
is there any internet nickname for that? for simultaneous posting??
Postaneous replies.
Replytaneous remarks.........
sooner or later, there WILL be a name for that...when ppl post replies at exact same moment.
okay, sorry, bye!!
Dogster, i'm glad for you that Shivon is looking better, and also glad for you that you got your apostrophe back, too!!
Ha ha, Thanks!!!!
OK, She's not throwing up anymore, but she still won't eat. I suspect it's the same problem as when she had the cold last year....
So basically she won't eat the food she ate before she got sick. Too bad, 'cause she LOVED it... I may have to abandon it then come back to it later... I don't know what to do... she barely ate 3/4 of a cup today.... Let me tell you, it has NOTHING to do with her not feeling well, she will eat anything else.
glad to hear Shivon is not throwing up now, but worried she is not eating. HOpe she IS eating by the time you read this????
if not, i'd certainly fix up her favorite dinner, or offer rice +chicken. something.
Nothing wrong with abandoning the new food for now, it will not spoil. (The bags we buy at the store are months old already.)
You can try it again later, once Shivon is good and healthy again, this will also help you sort out if Shivon's sickness had anything to do with the food at all.
ALSO, since Shivon IS a known and proven princess, you might want to think about keeping some Pedialyte in the freezer. for times she throws up, or has diarrhea, or won't eat.
I pour lil amounts into dishes, like less than 1/2 inch deep,
set them carefully around in the freezer til frozen,
then bag those slabs up, and store in a freezer bag in freezer.
then if buddy ever gets sick, my dog LOVES ice, and he will EAT frozen pedialyte, even though i have a heckuva time getting him to DRINK it.
LIke dogs with diarrhea--------Puking dogs also lose electrolytes so they need Pedialyte replacement, too.
Yeah, I will DEFINATELY buy some pedialyte. And Shivon LOVES ice too. I froze some yogurt and penut butter....
Shivon ate more today... I don't know why she does this. She is not sick, she is acting like her *usual* self. I think I will have to start the switching foods thing all over again, so she can forget about these foods, because she loved them before...
But Shivon is getting a special dinner tonight!!!! (Ohhhh boy....)
if Shivon had not vomited prior to her fast, i'd be less concerned. Just skipping a meal now and then is fairly benign behavior for some dogs.
for MY dog, i'd freak out, as my dog has most marvelous appetite you ever saw...he has never skipped a meal in his life, that i can remember, (except for once when he decided he was SO DONE with eating raw eggs on his kibble on Sundays, and he refused to ever eat one again. lol.)
Buddy happily ate raw eggs every sunday, for a long long time,
and then suddenly decided raw eggs were disgusting , and THAT, was THAT. He even seemed to worry for sometime after, if i might be sneaking in a raw egg into his food for sometimes afterward, approaching his dog bowl very cautiously, was hilarious.
but, since your Shivon IS a princess, perhaps is no big deal, one(1) meal anyway.................a whole day, would worry me, and two days would def worry me a lot.
Sara once taught me, that dogs were never intended to eat twice a day, every single day, and that she, on purpose, skips a meal for some of her dogs, every now and then, just to perk up their metabolism. so now, i do the same thing, esp if buddy is looking a bit slower, and wow, it does seem to perk him up!! this also works on ME, too!!
so maybe Shivon just does that???
also, lots of dogs do NOT need to eat as much as the bag says to feed the dog.
keep those foods, who knows, Shivon might resume eating them later on. If nothing else, you can donate the leftovers to the dog pounds. It will be the best food THEY'VE had for a long time, i'd bet!!
LOVE your post, Tigerlily!!! Shivon started to eat the Blue Wilderness again!!!!! YAY!!!! I also started to give her Natural Balance (to FINALLY) make her eat. IT WORKED!!!!! WOOT!!!!
About the amount to feed Shivon, I really don't know how much to feed her. Shivon is about 30 pounds, by the way. For dry food, it says to feed her 2 (and sometimes 2 1/2) cups per day. For canned it says to feed her 3/4 of a can for every 10 pounds of dog. I think it's a bit much. I really need advice on this...
My 35lb boy eats 3/4 cup per meal. for canned food he eats 2/3 can per meal. sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on his weight. (winter he get's less as he get's less exercise.)
Thank you Sara!!!! I feed Shivon 1 cup of dry food per meal, so maybe I should change that. It seems like she wants to eat 3/4 of a cup now (she left a 1/4 cup in her bowl) I'm worried about how much to feed her because I don't want her to gain weight (I'm NOT going down THAT road again...)

Today, I have a purple mani to share with you!
For this mani, I used NYC Late Night Lilac, a lilac creme with a subtle shimmer. On my pinky, I'm wearing Spoiled Late Night Lilac, a dark purple packed with gold shimmer. On my ring finger, I used saran wrap to mix the two polishes and I stamped an image from the XY18 plate in silver.

UFC Champion Ronda Rousey and Ex-Manager Settle Defamation Case
May 13, 2016 10:24 AM EDT
UFC star Ronda Rousey and her former manager Darin Harvey have reached a settlement following the defamation lawsuit. The American female mixed martial artist was sued by her ex-manager alleging she defamed his character on her autobiography book.
Rousey, the UFC women's bantamweight champion has accepted a settlement agreement on Wednesday, to make "extremely minor" changes on her autobiography book titled, Rousey: My Fight/Your Fight, so that legal actions will be prevented, according to Bleacher Report. Harvey issued a statement regarding the book.
"During the four years we worked together, Ronda easily won all her amateur fights, went 8-0 as a professional, became the first woman to sign with the UFC, and landed roles in several feature films. Her book failed to acknowledge the important role I played in all of that and, in my view, defamed me in several respects," Harvey said.
The lawyer representing Rousey, Alexander Polyachenko, said that the terms of the settlement wassupposed to be confidential. Polyachenko also added that the said minor changes will not affectthe book's "theme or flow."
The changes will not only be applied to the book, but also to the paperback, ebook and audiobook versions of Rousey's autobiography future printings, Yahoo Sports reported. The lawyer for Rousey alsosaid though, it was said that the settlement will not be disclosed in the public, and that the plaintiffhad no right to reveal it.
Rousey and her publishing company, Regan Arts,both agreed to the terms, however, the company refused to make comments about the issue. Harvey and Rousey also already settled their contract lawsuit with undisclosed amount in February, according to MMA Junkie.
The sides previously disagreed over money Harvey claimed to invest in Rousey, as part of an agreement that the former manager felt covered earnings from fighting and other commercial interests. Settling the autobiography complaint without having to go the legal route is one less distraction as shestarts preparing for her return.

Sports drinks: the myths busted
The Coca-Cola and McDonald's sponsorships for the London Olympics are creating outcry from health advocates, but there's one sponsorship they may be overlooking: Powerade. Powerade, the official drink for athletes at the 2012 Olympic Games (as well as the EUFA 2012), is the sister drink of the other official Olympic drink: Coca-Cola. Is it that surprising? The most common beliefs about sports drinks are that they rehydrate athletes, that all athletes (Olympic or not) can benefit from sports drinks, and that all sports drinks are created equal. Right? Wrong.
Reaching for a neon-green Gatorade after your oh-so-grueling spin class may seem like a good idea, but the truth might surprise you. Sports drinks contain electrolytes (mostly potassium and sodium) and sugars to replenish what the body has lost through sweating that water alone can't replace. The purpose of these beverages is to bring the levels of minerals in your blood closer to their normal levels, so you can continue your workout as if you just started.
Sounds great, right? But don't go reaching for the nearest bottle just yet. Not all sports drinks are created equal, and not every sports drink works the same for every athlete. Most nutritionists agree that sports drinks only become beneficial once your workout extends past 60 minutes. For Olympians, sports drinks might actually do the trick; one study from the University of Bath found that sipping on a carbohydrate-based drink helped athletes' performances.
But that doesn't mean that drinking water ceases to be essential. "Even if [one] consumes a sports drink," Dr. Haemi Choi, a nutrition specialist at Loyola University in Chicago says, "it's important that he or she continues to drink water." And guzzling unnecessary sports drinks can give you added calories, sugars, and toxins from artificial flavorings. Reading the label carefully is the best way to avoid any hidden extras lurking in your beverage.
But in a world where variety reigns supreme, how can you choose which drink will be the best when you need one? Is there a difference between Gatorade and Powerade? Where does coconut water fit into all of this? When the rows of brightly hued drinks become overwhelming, here's your guide to sports drinks — which ones to choose, and which ones to lose.
GSeries 02 Perform Original G: 50 calories, 14 grams of sugar, 110 milligrams sodium, 30 milligrams potassium
GSeries Fit 02 Perform: 10 calories, 2 grams of sugar, 110 milligrams sodium, 30 milligrams potassium
Gatorade's newly extended product line may seem overwhelming, but there are only two drinks in the line that the regular exerciser might want to pick up: the original, GSeries 02 Perform, and the light version, GSeries Fit. The GSeries 02 Perform has a good balance of carbohydrates, sugars, and electrolytes to keep you going when your workout extends past the 60-minute activity threshold. Going on an all-day bike riding trip with friends? Start drinking. The GSeries Fit, on the other hand, is great for the casual exerciser who wants the rehydrating effects of a sports drink with fewer calories.
Powerade Energy: 45 calories, 10.5 grams of sugar, 50 milligrams sodium, 0 milligrams potassium
Powerade ION4: 17 calories, 3.9 grams of sugar, 50 milligrams sodium, 12.5 milligrams potassium
Powerade may be the drink of Olympians — they're the official sponsor of the games but is it the right choice for you? It depends on which drink you choose. While the Powerade energy drink might be tempting for the sleepy athlete, the added caffeine is actually dehydrating the opposite effect you want during a workout. This is certainly a sports drink to skip. Instead, choose Powerade ION4. Suggested for athletes engaging in activity for more than 30 minutes at a high intensity, this drink will help keep you hydrated and balanced.
Propel Zero
0 calories, 0 grams of sugar, 80 milligrams sodium, 0 milligrams potassium
Despite being a zero-calorie sports drink, the Propel Zero water has little to offer in the way of sports nutrition. It's not ideal for athletes undergoing strenuous physical activity; there aren't not enough calories or electrolytes to replenish you after a strenuous workout. In reality, the only thing this drink offers is a laundry list of artificial ingredients. Reach for this drink if you're exercising for less than 60 minutes, but sweating more than usual. You'll be able to rehydrate quicker, but won't take in any unneeded calories.
Coconut Water
Vita Coco 100% Pure: 45 calories, 0 grams of sugar, 30 milligrams sodium, 515 milligrams potassium
The coconut water craze may have taken health-conscious exercisers by storm, but are there any health benefits to gain from sipping from those little cardboard cartons? Boasting five electrolytes and more potassium than a banana, coconut water seems like an all-natural miracle fluid to replenish your body after a gruelling workout. Research, however, reveals that coconut water may not live up to the hype. Coconut water's overload of potassium doesn't necessarily make it a better sports drink. As Liz Applegate, sport-nutrition director at UC Davis, told Mother Jones, "Even though the belief is that when you exercise you need a lot of potassium, sodium is more important. When you sweat, you lose a lot more sodium than potassium."
Not impressed by the bottled options? A powder may be the perfect option for you, suggests Stella Mostovas nutritionist and former USA swimmer. Powders generally come with fewer added sweeteners while offering the same balance of electrolytes. With the powdered drinks, you get the nutritional benefits of a sports drink without the extra sugar, flavors, and colors. Most major companies, such as Gatorade and Powerade, sell these mixes.
Though a homemade sports drink might not be the typical remedy, it's the perfect solution for anyone who is concerned about what they are putting in their body. The main goal is to try to keep the ingredients in the proper balance. Registered dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner shared with the Chicago Tribune her own recipe for "homemade Gatorade," a mixture of honey, water, orange juice, and salt. Another recipe from Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook uses salt, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, plus hot and cold water.

This past October, the Oxford, Miss. band Dead Gaze released its first studio album, Brain Holiday. Jackson, Miss. native Cole Furlow is the mastermind behind Dead Gaze, a band that has been churning out homemade acid garage pop in Oxford since 2009.  Furlow struck gold when a friend of his who worked at Oxford's Sweet Tea Studio was offered eleven days of free studio time, and the friend immediately thought of Furlow. Sweet Tea Studio is owned and operated by famed producer Dennis Herring, and has attracted the likes of such well-known artists as Animal Collective, Modest Mouse, The Walkmen, and Elvis Costello. Furlow jumped at the chance to work at such a great studio, and the result was Brain Holiday.
The music of Dead Gaze is sometimes classified as "Lo-Fi Psych Pop,†and while this term adequately describes Furlow's previously released work, the term does not fully apply to Brain Holiday. There is a definite "Hi-Fi†quality to this album that is all at once intergalactic, tropical, aquatic and air-like. Furlow uses "Lo-Fi†tricks, such as a low-end synthesizer and circuit bending, to produce "Hi-Fi†results. Circuit bending is the customization of circuits in electronic devices to produce unexpected, creative, and chance-based sounds. Furlow utilizes tools such as reconfigured children's toys, synthesizers, guitars, wires and amps to produce "Hi Fiâ€â€"sounding effects out of this "Lo-Fi†technique. The result is a much more polished, crystal-clear, definite sound. Furlow proves himself to have mastered the art of "Lo-Fi†in a "Hi-Fi†world.
Brain Holiday comes out only seven months after the self-titled Dead Gaze, which was released in the U.S. on May 21, 2013.  Dead Gaze was met with critical acclaim, however there were problems with the album that seem to be directly addressed on Brain Holiday, such as the lessening of the compression on the vocals that frankly made Cole's lyrics on some of the tracks from Dead Gaze indecipherable. Here Furlow delivers vocals that are clear and crisp, becoming more sophisticated not only in style, but also in meaning. Furlow is obviously going deeper with this album.
The first track, "Yuppies are Flowersâ€, is a catchy pop song on the surface. But the lyrics tell a story of youth today trying to deal with the Yuppie generation being the ruling class, and how they have screwed things up for the generations to come. "Rowdy Jungle†is another pop chart dream, sounding pleasantly like Weezer, but with some Mississippi mud thrown in to grunge things up a bit.
Overall, Brain Holiday is a pop album, but there are some indie-inspired surprises like "Runnin On The Moon†and "Breathing Creatures†which are so unique, they each seem to be creating a genre of their own. The self-titled track, "Brain Holiday†ends the album with poetic perfection because of its carefree sound and message, adequately fulfilling Cole Furlow's wish for this album: "I just want people to listen to the jams when they need something to get their brain off whatever it is that's making them go to the music in the first place."
Dead Gaze is huge in Great Britain and has just finished a European tour that started November 26, 2013, in Belgium, Brussels—seeing France, Italy, Switzerland, and then back to France for two shows (one in Paris), with the last four shows of the tour ending in the UK—the finale being in London (their biggest draw) at the Windmill.
Brain Holiday is available now on vinyl, cd and MP3 from FatCat Records.Â

I didn't finish my sock, but I did finish two other projects, and make significant inroads on two more. So I'm happy with that.
I posted a few weeks ago about two goals I have for this year. I've also been jotting down other things I'd like to work on this year. When I had a look at my list last night, I realised there were 12 things on it. That seems appropriate. I think I'll leave the list at that length.
So here are my goals for this year:
- Complete all small to medium sized current projects
- Make Guinevere's Fantasy/Medieval alphabet book
- Turn downstairs into a usable space
- Eat healthier
- Exercise more
- Start a business with my crafts
- Learn to play the violin
- Get more organized
- Put in a garden
- Work on debt
- Find work as an OT
- Continue to grow an amazing little girl
Now I just need to work out how I am going to reach each of these goals, and how I am going to measure when I have achieved them. Some, like Guinevere's alphabet, will be easy to tell when they are finished. Others, like eating healthier and getting more organised, are going to be harder to tell. So I'm going to have to work out some definable mark that lets me know I've improved and got where I'd like to be. But I'll do that another day. For now, I'm going to go work on finishing a project that absolutely needs finished as it's for someone else and it's been dragged out for far too long. Plus some spinning to relax.

Louis Tomlinson's grandma's perfume praise
- Bang Showbiz
- 27 September 2015
Louis Tomlinson has revealed his grandma is a big fan of One Direction's new perfume, Between Us
Louis Tomlinson's grandma wears One Direction's perfume.
The 'Little Things' group recently released their new fragrance, Between Us, and it is already a hit with the female members of their families.
Louis said: "I tell you who is a surprising fan of the fragrance - my grandma. She wears it, which is pretty cute."
Asked who should wear the fragrance, Harry Styles said: "I'm gonna say my mum, I feel that's the right answer."
While they have a fragrance collection, the group are not really "into" aftershaves.
Asked who smells the best, Niall Horan said: "I don't think the rest of the band are into aftershave. I don't even think Harry wears it."
Louis added: "I'd probably say Niall. He's just a sweet-looking guy isn't he? I mean, he's irresistible."
The quartet believe their latest perfume has a more "grown up" scent than their previous fragrance.
Louis said: "It's quite personal for the fans and it's a progression from the last fragrance."
Liam Payne added: "This is different from our previous scents, it's more grown-up and evolved, as we and our fans have."

Seventh-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga advanced to a quarterfinal with Roger Federer when he beat fellow Frenchman Richard Gasquet 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 in a fourth-round match Monday at the Australian Open.
Tsonga, who lost the 2008 Australian Open final to Novak Djokovic, will meet Federer, a straight-sets winner over Milos Raonic, on Wednesday.
Although Tsonga and Gasquet have met twice before at a Grand Slam, including here in 2008, it was the first time in the Open era that two Frenchmen ranked in the top 10 have played each other at a major. Their career record is now even at 4-4.

Rabbit Golf
This is a very active section of the Club. Male members of Easingwold Golf Club aged 18 or over, and with a playing handicap of 16 or more, automatically qualify as Rabbit golfers.
The Rabbits' section has its own committee within the Club and holds an AGM in early November. It aims to provide golf at a reasonably low cost, whilst also generating some revenue which is annually considered by the committee as a possible donation contribution to the main Club finances.
The section also provides a chance to play in external competitions – something which might otherwise be unavailable within the main Club for the higher handicap golfer.
We organise and welcome your participation in any of the following:-
- Various internal Stableford scoring competitions, both qualifying and non-qualifying for individual handicap purposes - some of these being associated with main Club events and potentially resulting in specific Rabbit section trophies (see below).
- Visits to other Clubs, such as an Exchange Day or Rabbit's Captain's Away Day.
- Friendly matches against other Clubs. Approximately ten per year, playing home and away in alternate years to maximise the number of different opponents and other course experience.
Also available for participation are:
- League matches (qualifying for individual handicap) within a zone of the North East Rabbits' Golf Association - (NERGA)
- Knockout competitions and other events within the Yorkshire Rabbits' Golf Association - (YRGA)
- Summer & Winter League matches within the Harrogate Area Rabbits' Golf Association - (HARGA)
In addition, the section hosts a Rabbit's Open at the end of August each year. Rabbit golfers from any other Club may participate, whilst Easingwold members help organise and run the event on the day.
Knaresborough Golf Club minutes dated 22nd September 1922 record a proposal by Mr Kitching and seconded by Mr Broadbank "That a match be arranged with Oakdale Golf Club for Saturday next, for players of 18 handicap and over". Whilst the handicap level has since been revised to 16 and over, this is the first known record of the beginnings of Rabbit Golf.
Why the word Rabbit was used is unknown, although may have been drawn from terminology used in cricket when referring to players of less batting competence who usually bat towards the end of an innings.
Eclectic Trophy - is awarded to the Rabbit member with the highest eclectic score from four stableford rounds, these being the Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn Eclectics.
Jack Rabbit Trophy - is awarded to the Rabbit member who has the best aggregate score from the Club Spring, Summer and Autumn medal competitions.
Centurion Trophy - is open to all Rabbit members with a gross score of 100 or more in any Club medal competition held during the year. The trophy is awarded to the best score in the Club October Stableford competition, from those members eligible.
'Inters' Golf
This section bridges a gap between Rabbit golfers and the Scratch team. Male members of Easingwold Golf Club aged 18 or over, and with a handicap from 8 to 15 inclusive, automatically qualify to play 'Inter' golf.
The 'Inter' section was formed in 2015 and provides an opportunity to participate in some competitive golf, for those members who no longer qualify for Rabbit golf, or do not have a low enough handicap to qualify for the Scratch team.
The 'Inters' section does not have any separate subscription or committee but are often invited to participate alongside the Rabbit section for Away Days, Eclectics, or other competitions or events.
Also available - and organised for 'Inters' via the North East Rabbits' Golf Association (NERGA)- is the opportunity to participate in zonal League matches. These matches qualify for individual handicap purposes.

Its working great for me, but i'm also very interested if UD is going to integrate the milestone app or some other battery life improvements. Are the battery life improvements due to the milestone app in UD3.0.0 or is in inherint to GB?

Will CDO investors' deal boost litigation against rating agencies?
This is a rare sentiment, but thank goodness for Congress. Were it not for reports issued in 2011 by theFinancial Crisis Inquiry Commission (an expert panel created by federal statute) and the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, we'd have precious little public-record testimony about the role that the credit rating agencies Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch played in the near collapse of the economy. With Friday's settlement between S&P, Moody's and two groups of investors in collateralized debt obligations known as Cheyne and Rhinebridge, we've lost one of our last remaining chances to see the rating agencies answer to private investors.
I want to emphasize that the deal is a landmark. It is apparently the first time that S&P and Moody's have settled accusations that investors were misled by their ratings. That's unquestionably a great result for the CDO purchasers in the case and for their lawyers at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd, who have battled since 2008 to keep $700 million in fraud and negligence claims alive. Unlike investors in more than three dozen other cases claiming the credit rating agencies facilitated the issue of toxic mortgage-backed securities, Abu Dhabi Bank, the Kings County pension fund and their fellow CDO purchasers survived preliminary motions, beating back the agencies' argument that their ratings were opinions protected by the First Amendment. Then, through discovery, Robbins Geller uncovered hot documents – even more than the rating agencies produced to Congress – that helped investors withstand defense requests for summary judgment.
Lead counsel Luke Brooks and Daniel Drosman of Robbins Geller declined to disclose the terms of the CDO settlement but told me Monday that their clients are very pleased with "what we view as an extraordinary result." (An S&P representative declined to comment; a Moody's spokesman told Reuters that the agency wanted to put the CDO litigation behind it.)
I'm sure, however, that Robbins Geller also felt a twinge of disappointment that it wouldn't get to try the case, which was scheduled for jury selection on May 6. They and the rest of us will not have the chance to witness rating agency officials attempting to justify internal emails in which analysts appear to deride their own procedures for rating mortgage-backed instruments nor hear them explain why CDOs with AAA ratings defaulted in a matter of months. That's a shame. As best I can tell, there are only a few remaining investor cases against the rating agencies, including claims in San Francisco Superior Court by the California Public Employees' Retirement System, a fraud suit by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas and a fraud litigation in Massachusetts federal court by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. And S&P and Moody's don't seem terribly concerned that pending private litigation will produce any great revelations. They didn't even bother describing the Calpers or FHFB suits in their most recent annual reports.
Of course, S&P is knee-deep in the Justice Department's civil fraud suit in California federal court, which builds upon evidence and legal theories laid out in the Cheyne and Rhinebridge CDO cases. The agency moved to dismiss the Justice Department's suit last week. S&P is also facing deceptive trade practices claims by more than a dozen state attorneys general; in the most recent development in the AG litigation, a federal judge in Connecticut rebuffed the rating agency's attempt to remove Connecticut's 3-year-old case from state court, where it has already survived a dismissal motion. (The Connecticut AG has brought an illegal trade practices suit against Moody's as well.)
But those cases won't bring accountability to private investors who based decisions about mortgage-backed certificates and CDOs on the ratings conferred by S&P and Moody's. "In terms of the publicly issued securities, they've succeeded in eluding liability under the federal securities laws," said Joel Laitman of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, who tried and failed (along with everyone else in the plaintiffs' bar) to bring class action claims against S&P and Moody's for their supposedly fraudulent ratings. The rating agencies' settlement with CDO investors, who sued as individuals rather than as a class, put Laitman in an elegiac mood. "We have federal securities laws and they failed with respect to the rating agencies," he said. "How is it that we have the Securities Act, we have the Exchange Act, yet there is no classwide relief for investors? Why is it that a critical player in the financial crisis has essentially escaped scot-free?" (The rating agencies would surely say that they haven't been held liable because they, like many others in the financial industry, were blindsided by the housing crisis. They have always contended that they published legitimate, good-faith assessments of the securities they rated and, moreover, had no duty to investors.)
Despite Laitman's requiem for claims against the rating agencies, there's still time – though not much – for some individual investors to attempt to capitalize on the Cheyne and Rhinebridge CDO settlements and the judicial rulings by U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin that permitted the case to end in the landmark deal. New York has a 6-year statute of limitations for fraud and negligence. There's a borrowing provision that would bar claims by investors whose states have shorter statutes. Investors also can't bring class actions based on common-law causes of action.
But for New York residents who bought CDOs and mortgage-backed securities, the Cheyne and Rhinebridge cases hacked out a trail for claims against the rating agencies – and Friday's settlement showed that the trail doesn't have to lead to a dead end.

For the record, Cheyne and Rhinebridge are not CDOs, they were structured investment vehicles, a type of operating company. It is unfortunate that the general public will not get a chance to get the facts related to this case. I believe it would have gone a long way to dispelling the woefully uninformed inferences that have permeated throught the political, punditry and general public space. For example, the plaintiffs in this case were not 'grandma & grandpa", they are what's called qualified institutional buyers, the most sophisticated institutional investment management firms in the market (some of which actually issued CDOs as part of their business). These QIBs as they are called are not allowed to outsource their primary duty to a no-cost provider like a rating agency, as such, the QIBs retain absolute authority for investment decisions hence they retain absolute accountability for the results of those decisions. To those that actually work in the capital markets, credit ratings are simply indices, like the S&P 500. It is no more appropriate to sue a rating agency for losing money on a bond that happened to have a AAA rating than it would be to sue S&P for losing money investing in a stock that happened to be in the S&P 500 index. The truly accountable investment firms either settled out quick (Schwab/Yield Olus), went out of business or are barely standing…hence the only deep pockets to go after are the banks and rating agencies. Toss in the fact that the rating agencies were the most transparent entities in the market and now you have low hanging fruit for firms like Robbins Geller. An extra bonus for the DoJ is that S&P does not pose a systemic risk should it be successful in its complaint, as opposed to their decision to not penalize HSBC for its decade of money laundering. Make no mistake, the defendents in these "SIV" cases were far from any true peer assessment of fraud or negligence…but it must be difficult to gamble on a jury pool of non-peers that have been trained for years to place blame on the banks/agencies. The only winners…lawyers.

I don't often blog about givewaways, but this techno gadget is just too cool to pass up. Im not sure whats cooler, the idea of winning your own Soda maker, or this cool new review site called Ping and Win. He does video reviews, which usually make me cringe - but - I have to say, he's a pretty good videographer, and I enjoyed the review of this product, and actually showed my 4 year old daughter.
Now, a home made Soda maker is JUST what we need, because I do not let my kids drink soda because of all the chemicals in it. However, they dont like seltzer water. I would love to have a fizzy lifting drink machine in my house. What a great invention, and it looks like a cross between an Alien from the movie Aliens ( My husband LOVES that part) and a Crups stainless steel coffee machine.
This item is a great idea for anyone who is looking for a healthy alternative ( and cheaper too, after you all add it up) to nasty store bought sodas, and something you can hide healthy things in like real fruit juices and stuff.
Want one? Get it here.

In its midnight launch, Avatar pulled in $3.537 million at approximately 2,000 sites. 3D runs accounted for 85 percent of the gross. While such midnight grosses are not necessarily indicative of how the full weekend will play out, the initial sampling was nonetheless strong for a movie with no predecessors.
The three biggest midnight openings are The Twilight Saga: New Moon's $26.3 million, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's $22.2 million and The Dark Knight's $18.5 million. However, those were sequels with rabid fan bases, therefore it would have been unrealistic to expect Avatar to come anywhere near them.
More comparable to Avatar would be I Am Legend, the movie that currently holds the December opening weekend record ($77.2 million). Its midnight start was $1.7 million at around 1,100 sites, a mere fraction of its $30.1 million opening day. Another epic adventure with a long runtime like Avatar, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, earned around $4 million in its midnight debut, leading to an $18.2 million first day (though it opened on a Wednesday). Earlier this year, Watchmen logged $4.55 million out of the gate at midnight but fizzled quickly, while Star Trek blasted off with $4 million from Thursday night previews and had generated $79.2 million by Sunday.
Avatar director James Cameron's last picture, Titanic, set sail on the same weekend in 1997. While no figures are available for its midnight showings, the romantic epic grossed $8.7 million on its opening day, or the equivalent of around $14 million adjusted for ticket price inflation. That was a blockbuster kick-off in those days, but it, of course, had legendary longevity as well, ultimately becoming the highest-grossing movie ever at $600.8 million.
Beyond its midnight start, Avatar strikes approximately 7,000 screens at 3,452 sites this weekend. That includes 3,129 screens at 2,038 3D sites (179 of which are IMAX), which is slightly less than A Christmas Carol (2009)'s debut at 2,045 3D sites (and 181 IMAX sites). Avatar also has a massive foreign campaign, striking 13,795 screens (including 3,941 3D screens) in 106 territories this weekend, and it's scheduled to reach 17,222 screens (including 5,360 screens) in 120 territories later on. Counter-programming Avatar this weekend is romantic comedy Did You Hear About the Morgans?, which debuts on around 3,000 screens at 2,718 sites.

Jennifer Mann / St. Louis Post-Dispatch & Bill Lambrecht / St. Louis Post-Dispatch
St. Louis was among several test cities chosen for a biological weapons program that involved exposing low-income residents of housing projects to chemical agents. Discovery of the secret program, conducted in the 1950s and '60s, has spawned a lawsuit that leaves open the potential for future litigation related to other controversial aspects of the government's work -- including more sinister experiments involving radiation and the chemical giant Monsanto.
Suit Filed over Government
Test-spraying in St. Louis during Cold War
Jennifer Mann / St. Louis Post-Dispatch
ST. LOUIS (November 21, 2012) -- A doctoral dissertation that renewed public interest in the military-sponsored chemical spraying of impoverished areas of St. Louis in the 1950s and '60s has spawned a lawsuit. It leaves open the potential for litigation related to more controversial aspects of Lisa Martino-Taylor's work -- questions of more sinister government experiments on human test subjects.
Undisputed is that St. Louis was among several test cities chosen decades ago by government contractors for the spraying of zinc cadmium sulfide, a chemical powder mixed with fluorescent particles to allow tracking of dispersal patterns.
The spraying was part of a biological weapons program, the government conceded in 1994, and St. Louis was chosen because its topography was similar to some of the Russian cities the military thought it might have to attack.
When Martino-Taylor's research hit the news earlier this fall, it triggered a memory for Benjamin Phillips, currently the sole plaintiff in what his attorney seeks to turn into a class action in St. Louis Circuit Court.
Phillips, a former city marshal, spent part of his childhood in the Pruitt-Igoe housing complex. He suddenly remembered men in protective suits on roofs with machines spewing what seemed like a thick fog of bug spray, according to his attorney, Elkin Kistner. Residents were told it was testing "a smoke screen" for protection in enemy attack.
Martino-Taylor's research highlighted studies showing chronic lung and respiratory problems borne from exposure to zinc cadmium sulfide. The Army said earlier this month that no health consequences had been found in St. Louis.
Martino-Taylor also raised the possibility of radioactive material's being used. She pointed to links between participants in the St. Louis program and scientists who took part in wartime efforts to build the atomic bomb. The Army has denied such speculation.
Phillips' suit generally describes the spraying of "cadmium, including potentially radioactive cadmium, without the knowledge or consent of those residents."
It names as defendants the Parsons Company, a government contractor known to have conducted the tests, and two others that Martino-Taylor named as potential players based on government records: SRI International, which supposedly designed an air-sampling unit to be used in the aerosol studies, and Monsanto, which allegedly knew of plans and offered the government use of its St. Louis plant.
The suit asks over $50,000 in actual damages on claims of a public nuisance, strict liability, emotional distress and battery. It also seeks unspecified punitive damages.
SRI International, through a spokesperson, said it had not found any evidence that the company was involved. It intends to seek dismissal from the lawsuit. Monsanto issued a statement saying that the suit "does not contain any facts about the alleged conspiracy occurring 50 years ago or more, or Monsanto's supposed involvement." Parsons declined comment.
Kistner said Phillips had an ear tumor that may or may not be linked to the exposure. Other potential class members have contacted him, he said, including a woman whose family members had cancer. He said more would be learned through the discovery process, but, "In my view, these people are at least entitled to nominal damages."
He added, "You can't go spraying stuff on a bunch of people without their consent."
