Apple has responded to the location data thing, and as it turns out, most of us moderate folk were completely right. Apple claims the data isn't sent to Apple, and that the storing of the information is a bug Apple will fix in the coming weeks. Still a very nasty and potentially dangerous bug, but not the massive privacy issue many made it out to be. Also, a new colour iPhone is out, which, if you were to believe the gadget and Apple sites, is yet another Apple revolution.

To provide more accurate location, instead of using GPS (that offers bad accuracy).
And to get rid of their dependency on skyhook.
And to get rid of their dependency on skyhook.
GPS and bad accuracy? Have you actually any idea how AGPS works?
They need it to increase the location acquisition speed, not accuracy. Civilian GPS offers 4m of accuracy(or something), while AGPS may start with 1.5km accuracy and narrow it down as more GPS satellite data is received.
In fact, with that data you don't even need GPS to establish your approximate location.

This is a superb introduction to Alpine road riding, two great routes on generally quiet roads and give a slightly more chilled out French sportive experience than the Marmotte in the Southern Alps, and for those of you tackling the Marmotte or the Etape (or both!) this offers some great training.
The 160km route crams a number of cols in before the final ascent up the legendary Joux Plane and the long descent back down to Morzine. If that's a bit much for this time of year the shorter 110km route offers the same stunning scenery but at less cost to the legs!
For more info on the event, prices and availability please have a look at our website www.44south.co.uk, or drop us an email at info [at] 44south.co.uk.
Saturday, 22nd June - Monday, 24th June.
110km with 2680m of climbing
160km with 3650m of climbing
2 nights in our traditional style chalet, Event entry fee, Bed, Breakfast and Dinner (if fully catered), our 44South welcome pack, Airport transfers, lead rides and Pasta party before the night of the event.

The world of interior design is seeing a radical shift towards an industrial aesthetic. Exposed walls and metallic surfaces have been ubiquitous for some time, but the next step in this trend requires a more fundamental change. The rise in the popularity of loft spaces and converted warehouses is undoubtedly linked to the emerging penchant for the industrial. While these types of environments are excellent starting points for incorporating the aesthetic, they're by no means essential. Focus on the following suggestions to succeed in transforming just about any property into an innovative, cutting-edge, industrial-style space.
Materials: concrete, metals
When it comes to choosing basic materials, the theme is straightforward: think hard and cold. Dulled concrete and buffed metals are both clear design favourites with this trend. Glass can also be used, although sparingly.
The aforementioned components can be employed for more than just wall rendering and surfaces. Recent trends use concrete and heavy metals for furniture and even as decorative elements. Concrete is excellent for topping kitchen units, for example, while metal appliances can provide additional shine.
Shapes: efficient, perpendicular
Ornaments don't play much of a role in the industrial aesthetic, but there is room to experiment with shape. Decoration should be restricted to perpendicular lines and clean right angles.
Spaces: large, open
The industrial style isn't easy to reproduce in smaller spaces, which quickly become cluttered and can't offer the same scope to accommodate larger pieces of furniture. When aiming for the feel of a warehouse or factory with your decor, open space is an absolute must.
If you're restricted by your square footage, you'll need to make some serious sacrifices in terms of furniture. When it comes to trinkets, the look is equally limited. Clutter is unequivocally out of the question.
Colours: cool, neutral
Use of colour in industrial environments is simple: adhere to cool greys and subtle tan, opting for monochromes only as a means of accentuating or limiting light. If you're eager to introduce more vibrancy into your palette, do so using minor details. Houseplants are a common choice, and coloured lighting can work well in larger spaces.
Furnishings: minimalist, functional
Even though the overriding aim is for an airy, open space, there's room for oversized furniture. Designs should be minimalistic and strictly functional, however: remember to keep detail to a minimum. If your storage units must have visible doors, see that they are few and far between.
You might even have the opportunity to incorporate some authentic industrial items into your decor. Be on the lookout for commercial kitchen units and oversized dining tables. For obvious reasons, living room furnishings that fit into the warehouse aesthetic might be more difficult to come by.

The One Thing Worse than Airport Delays

The Sony Zperia Z is Sony's flagship for 2013, but unfortunately, it hasn't yet sailed its water-resistant body across the pond to visit a US carrier. That's changing today. T-Mobile will be the first US carrier to offer the Xperia Z. With the exception of a small T-Mobile logo on the back of the phone, the device is pretty much the same as the international model. That means consumers can still expect to see a 5-inch 1080p display with Mobile Bravia Engine 2, 13MP rear camera with Exmor RS, HDR video and an IP57 rating against water and dust.
The Xperia Z for T-Mobile throws another color option into the mix; there's a purple Xperia Z in the works. And because it's nice and new, it does feature support for T-Mobile's blossoming 4G LTE network as well as the HSPA+ and 3G bands.
The Xperia Z is among the recent high-end phones that feature water-proofing. It's a nice trend to see, because we've all heard horror stories about people dropping their phones in the toilet. As for pricing or a release date, we don't know anything except that it will be available "in the coming weeks."
Now that it's officially available from a US carrier, who's going to take a look at the Sony Xperia Z?

Future ethanol production and demand for distiller's grains will leave cattle prices lower and lead to higher consumer meat prices, a Texas Cooperative Extension economist says.
David Anderson, Extension livestock marketing economist, gave an overview of the interaction between renewable energy production and the livestock industry at the recent 2007 Texas Ag Forum at Austin.
Anderson says as ethanol production grows across the country livestock producers should keep these possibilities in mind:
Higher feed costs.
Feeder cattle and calf prices adjusted to the price of corn.
Reduced production in terms of cattle weights and profitability.
A livestock industry that is less competitive in the world market.
The boom in the number of ethanol plants is primarily centered in the Corn Belt, Anderson says, leading to large supplies of distiller's grains, the byproduct used primarily as livestock feed.
"Supply of distiller's grains is expected to increase to well over 30 million tons per year. At that rate of growth, supplies will exceed demand, leading to lower distiller grains relative to corn."
For each 56-pound bushel of corn used to make ethanol, about 17 pounds of distiller's grains is produced, Anderson notes.
"While the starch is taken out of the corn to make ethanol, the remaining nutrients are concentrated in the distiller's grains. It has more protein and energy than corn, per pound. The energy comes from the fat that was in the corn."
Portions of phosphorus, potassium and sulfur are increased as well, he says, noting that if the corn used to make ethanol had aflatoxin, "it too is concentrated three times in the resulting distiller's grains."
Thus, distiller's grains "presents a number of management issues related to handling and storing. It's a highly variable product. At that rate of growth, supplies will exceed demand, leading to lower distiller grains prices relative to corn."
Overall, Anderson predicts livestock producers will see higher-priced feed and "lower returns and reduced profitability."
"It results in a less competitive livestock industry in world markets and regionally in the United States. It also will result in higher food prices for consumers."
Products of wet corn milling:
One bushel of corn can equal up to 31.5 pounds of starch, which can be further processed into 33 pounds of sweetener or 2.5 gallons of ethanol; 13.5 pounds of gluten feed, 2.5 pounds of gluten meal, 1.6 pounds of corn meal.
Corn gluten can be wet or dry with moderate crude protein between 16 percent and 23 percent; it looks like oatmeal.
Products of dry corn milling: One bushel of corn yields 2.75 gallons of ethanol; 17-18 pounds of distillers grains and solubles; distiller's grains are one-third the weight of the corn but the starch is concentrated into this one-third.

Crumbly loaf that falls apart when slicing
I've searched this question, and most of the answers were "bread has crumbs, get over it."
But I think the person asking the question inaccurately described the problem. Yes, bread has crumbs, but my loaf is so crumbly it falls apart when I slice it and forget picking it up to make toast or a sandwich.
I'm using the whole wheat sandwich bread recipe from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day with some changes. It's 6 1/4 cups flour (I usually use 5 cups wheat and 1.25 of white for the extra gluten), 2 tsp yeast (it's less than the original recipe, I think), 2 T. sugar, 1 egg, 2 T. oil, 2.5 cups water with 2/3 cup powdered milk (I use this in place of the water and milk in the original)... I'm writing this from memory, I don't think I missed anything. Oh, and I usually also add about 1 cup of sourdough starter (my starter is on the runny side), which is why I use less yeast.
And I both knead it for 5 minutes with the dough hook in my kitchenaid and then let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours. Shouldn't that develop the gluten enough? I don't usually do the pull and fold three times like the recipe cals for, perhaps that is the problem...
Any other insight would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

All News Releases By Date
EPA Enforcement Going Strong Nationally And Locally
Release Date: 11/16/2005
Contact Information:
For Release: Wednesday, November 16, 2005
(#05136) New York, New York – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that enforcement actions concluded in fiscal year 2005 will reduce a projected 1.1 billion pounds of pollution and require cleanups estimated to total a record $10 billion – significant increases compared with 2004. EPA's Region 2 office, which covers New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, took actions that will reduce pollution of the land, air and water by an estimated 83 million pounds and require cleanups or corrective actions worth an estimated $587 million. EPA's fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30.
"Using a full range of compliance and enforcement strategies, EPA continues to bring more and more facilities into – and beyond – compliance with the laws that protect public health," said Alan J. Steinberg, EPA Regional Administrator. "These accomplishments continue to bring us closer to reaching our goals of clean air, land and water."
In addition to the environmental benefit and cleanup figures for fiscal year 2005, EPA Region 2 estimates that 470,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil will be cleaned up; over 7.6 million people are receiving cleaner drinking water; and, 6.1 million gallons of pollutants were prevented from release.
Each fiscal year, EPA's national Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance tallies a range of statistics to keep track of national environmental results and enforcement activity. Projected pollution reductions and the estimated dollar value of required cleanups, or injunctive relief, are annual indicators of results from EPA's environmental enforcement.
Pollution estimates project the amount of pollution that will be reduced, treated or properly managed as a result of settlements, consent decrees, court rulings, supplemental environmental projects and other actions concluded during the fiscal year. Enforcement activities, such as inspections, administrative actions, civil case referrals and criminal enforcement statistics, are also tracked on an annual basis. The information on enforcement results and activity is used to guide program priorities and management.
In the area of criminal enforcement in Region 2, more than 51 individuals and companies were charged with environmental crimes. Defendants in criminal cases were sentenced to more than 59 years in prison, more than 67 years of probation and ordered to pay nearly $10.6 million in fines for criminal violations. In one of the most significant criminal cases in the nation involving criminal violations of asbestos requirements, Alexander Salvagno was sentenced to 25 years in jail and his son, Raul was sentenced to 19.5 years in jail for illegal asbestos abatement activity and money laundering in upstate New York. These sentences represent the longest periods of incarceration for an environmental crime in U.S. history.
Region 2 also continues its great success with "smart enforcement" approaches such as its healthcare and university compliance initiatives. "Smart enforcement" consists of an integrated approach of assistance, incentives and enforcement to maximize compliance across an entire sector. To date, 37 health care institutions with multiple facilities and 16 colleges and universities have signed agreements committing them to conduct full audits of their environmental programs.
During Fiscal Year 2005, 129 companies with 255 facilities self-disclosed violations to Region 2 under EPA's Audit Policy and committed to fix the violations.
In Region 2, a total of 103 Notices of Determination (NOD), under EPA's Audit Policy, were issued. The costs of remediating the self-disclosed non-compliance and ensuring continued compliance were over $1.7 million for the facilities involved. More than 38,535 pounds of hazardous waste and over 163,000 gallons of oil are being managed properly because of these disclosures.
Thirty-two of the NODs were in response to health care disclosures. At these healthcare facilities, more than 12,000 beds, 58,800 staff and approximately 400,000 patients benefitted from the correction of the violations. Twenty-two of the NODs were issued in response to college/university disclosures. Five thousand staff and students are now better protected from environmental hazards.
Fiscal Year 2005 Enforcement Results in EPA Region 2 (New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands):
Fiscal Year 2005 Enforcement Results in EPA Region 2
- Environmental benefits - As a result of cleanup commitments reached in fiscal year 2005, EPA projects that more than 83 million pounds of pollution will be reduced, treated or properly managed in New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- Injunctive relief (work required to bring facilities into compliance) - The estimated dollar value of cleanup or corrective actions required by Region 2 in fiscal year 2005 will total more than $587 million, an increase of 222% over the previous year.
- Additional projects that benefit the environment - In the 2005 settlements, facilities agreed to perform 13 projects worth more than $1.2 million. These projects benefit local communities and will take facilities beyond compliance with environmental law.
- Final administrative penalty orders - In Region 2, 205 penalty orders addressed violations at 227 facilities. Three hundred and fifty-one administrative compliance orders were issued covering 564 facilities.
- Inspections - Region 2 continued its aggressive inspection program with 3003 inspections.
- Referral of cases to the Department of Justice - Region 2 referred for possible prosecution 25 cases to the Department of Justice.
Juncos Landfill Cleanup/Penalty Actions:
The Juncos Landfill site, located in the Municipality of Juncos, Puerto Rico is a closed municipal landfill that operated from 1957 to 1981, and that received industrial waste. On December 30, 2004, the U.S. District Court of Puerto Rico entered as final judgments two Consent Decrees issued pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) relating to the site. The first Consent Decree, with Becton Dickinson Acutecare Holdings, Inc., Browning-Ferris Industries of Puerto Rico, Inc. and General Electric Company, requires those parties to pay $3.35 million in reimbursement of EPA's and DOJ's past costs at the Site.
The second Consent Decree, with the Municipality of Juncos, the Puerto Rico Land Administration and the Puerto Rico Development and Housing Improvement Administration, requires that these parties pay $650,000, of which $500,000 was denominated as a civil penalty for violation of two CERCLA Section 106 unilateral orders previously issued to remediate the Site. The construction of the remedy was completed in September 2005.
Ames Goldsmith Corporation/SEP:
As part of a settlement of an enforcement action under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act, the Ames Goldsmith Corporation in Glens Falls, New York will conduct a significant Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) to install a "Fume Free Dissolving Process" in their silver nitrate manufacturing line. The value of the SEP is $446,663. Ames Goldsmith's SEP proposes switching to a fume free processing system by installing a bulk hydrogen peroxide storage and dispensing system, and to replace the present stack and gas burner set up with a wet scrubber operating with sodium hydroxide.
The advantages of fume free processing include:
- The company expects to consume one-third less nitric acid by reducing tanker shipments by one third.
- They will discontinue the use of natural gas by switching to hydrogen peroxide.
- These changes will eliminate the generation of combustion products such as carbon dioxide and various nitrogen oxides.
- Exhaust gases will be able to be scrubbed, whereas after incineration above 1200 degrees Fahrenheit using the former method, this result would not have been practical.
On January 27, 2005, a Second Supplement to the 1998 federal Consent Decree, which requires New York City to construct and place into operation a filtration facility for the Croton Water Supply, was entered in the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, New York. The Second Supplement establishes a long-term compliance schedule for the City to filter its water from the Croton supply. The Croton supply provides approximately 10% of the City's water under normal operating conditions and up to 30% during periods of drought. New York City must filter the Croton Water Supply to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Surface Water Treatment Rule, as well as the New York State Sanitary Code. Filtering drinking water reduces the risk of waterborne disease in water systems, such as the Croton Water Supply.
On September 28, 2004, the City issued its notice to proceed with construction of the Croton filtration plant and has initiated excavation at Mosholu Golf Course in the Bronx. This was a significant achievement toward the construction of a Croton filtration plant. When completed, the City will have spent approximately $1.4 billion in constructing a plant that will produce 290 million gallons of water daily and will serve over one million people. This case remains the largest successful action ever taken by EPA against a public water system, in terms of total penalties, injunctive relief costs and population impacted

Forever 21, Famous For Copying Clothing Designs, Tries To Silence Blogger With Infringement Threats
from the wtf? dept
Of course, the main focus o Forever 21's lawyers is on the trademark claim, though there is a copyright claim in there as well. One would hope Forever 21's lawyers are aware of the pretty long line of legal decisions noting that websites critical of companies (often referred to as "sucks sites") are perfectly legal, in most cases, in large part because no one would confuse the sucks site for the original. That reasoning certainly applies here. Of course, Forever 21's lawyers point to the increasingly popular "dilution" interpretation of trademark law to claim that connecting their brand with the internet slang term "WTF" is diluting. This is, plainly speaking, ridiculous. Seriously, WTF Forever 21? Someone putting up such a site doesn't harm your trademark.
You know what does harm your trademark? Stupidly threatening the satire site, in the first place.
Separately, the lawyers claim copyright infringement (which, yes, is quite laughable coming from this particular company), because the blogger made use of images from Forever 21. Once again, while the specific uses may matter, it seems like there's likely a strong fair use argument here. But, even more to the point, it is entirely clear from the letter, that Forever 21's complaint has nothing to do with infringement of either trademarks or copyright at all, but the fact that the company doesn't like being made fun of.
This is not what either trademark or copyright law was designed to deal with.
Using both such laws for this purpose is clearly an abuse of the law to try to censor a critic. I may defend, strongly, Forever 21's right to copy fashion designs, but the company has gone way overboard here in an attempt to stifle speech.

And the walls are quickly crumbling around the Oklahoma State football expose' penned and produced by a pair of Sports Illustrated writers.
Assailed from the outset by dozens of former Cowboy football players and one mega-booster, the five-piece installment from SI has been picked apart more than just about any other report since the Warren Commission. A sizable chunk of the former players who spoke on the record and leveled the most serious accusations had reasons to be disgruntled, with Tulsa World writing that "[o]f the 12 former players who either pointed fingers or admitted guilt, nine either were kicked out of school, dismissed from the program, transferred for playing time issues or just quit. Of those, several had criminal records."
Thus far, that aspect of the expose' has yet to be included in any of the stories that SI has released thus far.
One of the players quoted in part two of the five-part series and whose accusations were among the most serious, Fath' Carter, is not one of those 12. Yet his accounting of his time in Stillwater has come under fire from, of all things, facts.
In the second installment that focused on academics, Carter claimed to have graduated from OSU. In an interview, one of the writers of the series, George Dohrmann, claimed that Carter had two degrees from the university, stating that "I have no reason to believe he lied. And he's certainly not disgruntled." According to ESPN.com's Brett McMurphy, Carter's also not a graduate of Oklahoma State University per the school's registrar office.
Carter also claimed that, in 2003, he and former OSU running back Tatum Bell attended the same class with the same professor and received A's despite the fact that neither did any work or even attended the class. In 2004, Carter claimed, the same instructor gave the pair F's for a class he taught because they were no longer important to the football program as their eligibility had expired. The only problem with that accusation? Bell didn't attend classes at OSU in 2004.
"I withdrew from school after the (Jan. 2, 2004) Cotton Bowl," Bell told McMurphy. "I was never enrolled in 2004 and never attended classes in 2004."
In and of itself, McMurphy's findings are not exactly earth-shattering. But, poke a hole here, poke a hole there, and pretty soon the whole premise becomes weak and, ultimately, comes tumbling down. At this point, it's fair to ask if it's a matter of when and not if that happens to the SI series specifically and the magazine in general.

Telcos Dodge Suit Claiming They Overcharged For Wiretaps, But At Least They'll Have To Pay Their Own Legal Costs
from the not-so-hard-justice dept
Back in 2009, former New York Deputy Attorney General John Prather filed a lawsuit on behalf of the U.S. government, accusing Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and Qwest (now CenturyLink) of overcharging federal, state and city governments for services under CALEA. Prather, who helped lead the NY AG's Organized Crime Task Force from 2002 to 2008 as part of thirty years as a prosecutor, was intimately familiar with wiretap procedure and spent years in charge of invoices for wiretap provisioning. Prather claimed telcos had aggressively been price gouging law enforcement for some time, jacking up prices year over year without any sensible explanation why some wiretaps should cost in some cases $50,000 to $100,000 each.
Prather claims he filed a complaint with the FCC in 2004, who did nothing about it. Prather's lawsuit was dismissed a few months back (pdf) after the court claimed his insights were conjecture in that he didn't provide enough first hand evidence of fraud. That degree of proof was required because, according to telco lawyers, Prather technically couldn't file a whistle blower lawsuit under the False Claim Act and claim he himself was the "original source of the information" -- because he filed the original complaint while working for the government.
As a tiny win however, the court this week stated that phone company lawyers couldn't prove that Prather was filing the lawsuit simply to harass the phone companies, and as such they're be required to at least pay their own legal costs related to the case:
"Furthermore, the phone companies "fail to show that Relator's action was 'clearly vexatious' or 'brought primarily for purposes of harassment' as there is no evidence that relator pursued this litigation merely to annoy or embarrass defendants," the ruling states. "Conversely, Relator asserts that he brought this action 'in an attempt to bring to light the fraud of the telecommunications carriers, and to help insure that the Law Enforcement Agencies would not be hindered in their investigation of crime.'"Understand that Verizon and AT&T have a long and proud history of taking all manner of subsidies, tax breaks or other incentives for services never delivered, and when they do deliver, over-charging like any good unaccountable government contractor. The combination of excellent lawyers, an apathetic government afraid of taking on larger companies and the fact that phone companies are simply damn good at it -- has historically allowed them to get away with pretty much whatever they've wanted. Actually requiring the phone companies to pay their own lawyers may not not sound like much, but when AT&T and Verizon lawyers are involved, it's dramatically more than you'll usually see in cases like this.

I can not believe I am the only one with this issue but I can not find an answer on the site soe I am hoping you can help. I am running Act 2009 (22.214.171.1247). I currenly have teh program loaded on a large notebook that is clumbersom to use at the desk as qwell as to travel. Since I am looking to make a hardware change I am thinking of going to a desk top at home and a lighter notebook/netbook for travel. My chalange is Act as I havee found now way to conveniently "share" my data across both units. I do have companion link and daja office to sink some information with my android phone ( tht is a whole different story) but now way to sync between two PC's. I am a single used although I did purchase Act 2009 premium.
Any suggestions?

You should set up synchronization. Easiest is to just set it up when the two computers are in the office and connected to the same network. Instructions are in KB Article 15192.
There are also ways to sync when away from the office and ACT has a HOSTING PROVIDER PROGRAM that can host your database and make it available anywhere.
We also have an ACT Virtual Desktop that gives you ACT, MS OFFICE and more in the cloud from anywhere, any device. (hosted solution). Info Here on ACT Virtual Desktop

Back in February, Jon Stefanuca wrote about a study in the Journal of Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair about Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and the benefits it can provide to those individuals who have suffered spinal cord injuries. He explained how FES is able to provide electrical impulses to stimulate paralyzed muscles. The study's authors found improvements based on using FES that led them to recommend using stimulation therapy in conjunction with occupational therapy for patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries. This technology is now also being used to help people with a wide range of injuries and illnesses including, stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and cerebral palsy, in addition to spinal cord injuries. According to the Christopher and Dana Reeves Foundation website, FES works by applying "small electrical pulses to paralyzed muscles to restore or improve their function". The benefits can be extensive:
FES is commonly used for exercise, but also to assist with breathing, grasping, transferring, standing and walking. FES can help some to improve bladder and bowel function. There's evidence that FES helps reduce the frequency of pressure sores. From: Christopher and Dana Reeves Foundation website
Improved Technology To Be Locally Available
Since FES was originally developed, the technology improved from being something that was typically integrated into large expensive equipment, such as exercise bikes and wheelchair based equipment, into smaller more portable devices. The good news for individuals with neuro-motor injuries in Baltimore City and the surrounding areas is that this type of FES treatment is about to become more available locally. At the end of August, Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital announced that they have received a "Quality of Life" grant from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The article explains:
The money will help Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital purchase Bioness® equipment for its Adaptive Equipment Rehabilitation Clinic (the clinic). The clinic works with patients with neuro-motor disorders to maximize their movement as much as possible given their physical limitations.
The Bioness website explains that they produce a variety of "medical devices designed to benefit people with Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury, Cerebral Palsy, and Spinal Cord Injury. These products use electrical stimulation to help people regain mobility and independence, to improve quality of life and productivity." While I do not know what particular equipment will be available at the Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital, Bioness makes equipment to assist patients with hand paralysis, foot drop and thigh weakness among other conditions.
MWPH Uses Interdisciplinary Approach Combining FES and Therapy
The article about the grant explains some of the many wonderful things available for patients at the Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital (MWPH):
- …[an] interdisciplinary approach to the assessment and management of adolescents and children with neuromuscular impairments, paralysis and/or movement disorders
- … [a] team of 21 experienced specialists in physiatry, occupational therapy, and physical therapy.
The new equipment at MWPH will be used along with the other occupational and physical therapy options available to patients. A study described in US Neurology looked at stroke victims and found the combination of FES and traditional therapies that include repeated motion provide the best results:
Stroke patients with limited voluntary movement could now benefit from technologies such as functional electrical stimulation (fes) combined with necessary repetition of functional tasks (use-dependent plasticity) to enhance the neural repair process and improve outcomes, thus enabling them to begin to overcome their previous limitations and to improve their physical capabilities.
The goal at MWPH for children and adolescents is based on a similar idea:
Patients whose muscles can be retrained will require several months of therapy to gain normal range of motion and strength. For those patients with more severe conditions where muscles cannot be retrained, the Bioness® equipment will be used to augment their range of motion. Using these two therapy modalities, patients will acquire greater functionality, range of motion, muscle strength, and the ability to move independently.
This multi-disciplinary approach should allow these children and teens to have the best chances of improved motor use and the most independence in their future lives.

Trainer Tools and Resources
Of some really odd reason I got real problem with these trainers. Not one Mega trainer has I been "Authorized" to open, even though I am the admin of the computer. Not only can't I open them, but when I try i get a virus message from my Firewall, which is something i don't really believe in, cause I've a hard time thinking all the MegaTrainers got this weird Virus...
I bought this game today and i realised that i updated it to 1.05 which doesn't have an fitting Trainer, so i never expected them to work, but to not be "Authorized" is something I never experienced before.
If someone got any ideas on what to do, please post'em. Not that i need them before the 1.05 Trainer comes anyway, but I probably won't be able to sleep very well before this is solved
I Think I kinda solved it... My Firewall classified the trainer as a virus and blocked it off use for me, but once i deactivatd it I got it running.
It didn't work ofcourse because i had the wrong version, but I am reinstalling the game now for trying the unpatched trainer.
Hope you can solve it too ^^
but it not on the cheat and file screen

Corsair Vengeance M90 and K90 Review
Not too long ago we took a look at the K60 and M60 from Corsair and got a feel for what Corsair has to offer outside of the typical PSUs, RAM, and cases that we see from them. Well, Corsair didn't stop with the 60-series for mouse and keyboard options – they've also released a 90-series keyboard and mouse have hit the market as well, which leaves me questioning what would be next…the 120 series? Or perhaps Corsair would just start a new naming scheme as the 60 and 90 are both under its "Vengence" label for gaming-related gear.
Whatever Corsair decides to name its next series, it doesn't really matter, I hope the K90 and M90 at least stand up to the 60 series that we've already seen. At slightly higher prices for each, I'm expecting a little more this time around. The K90 is a mechanical keyboard with 18 dedicated macro keys and the whole keyboard is backlit in blue and white. The M90 is a laser mouse with 15 buttons, all elegantly placed on an aluminum chassis. Both have some serious gaming appeal, but I guess actually giving them a try will give better word of their fierceness.
Today we'll take a look at the Vengeance 90 Series from Corsair as both are at my grip for gaming and daily use. Will they hold up as well as the 60 Series? Are they truly what Corsair claims they are? Let's find out if your next birthday wish list will have the M90 or K90 at the top of the list.
Closer Look:
The M90 from Corsair arrived in a cardboard box just as most packages arrive on my porch. Inside I found a plastic shell package wrapped around the mouse. It looked much like the M60, but I'll try to avoid the constant reference to the 60 series for those of you who are not familiar with them…however, the similarity between packaging of the two is nearly identical. The mouse is in full view through the plastic and leaves no guess work to know what is inside.
The cardboard inside, which is there to add a little decorative feel, fades from blue to black behind the mouse and reads "VENGEANCE M90" on the left and right sides of the mouse. Designed for gaming, it reads in both English and French for the two chosen package languages. The package gets to brag a little about the features of the mouse. The seven main features that the mouse is to be known for are of the following: 5700 DPI laser sensor, 9 ergonomic macro buttons, 48KB onboard dynamic memory, aluminum frame, tracking up to 165 inches per second and acceleration up to 30G, adjustable lift distance, and a solid metal weighted scroll wheel. Now if these things haven't stirred up your interest, than you might want to check your pulse – you might be a zombie.
Pulling off the plastic, the mouse starts to look a little more real and I want to tear away the packaging even faster to get to use the mouse. I feel this is the hardest part of every review. The package arrives on your doorstep and you have to bust out the camera and white box before you can ever get your hands on the review item. The anticipation kills! Behind the cardboard filler there's a quick start guide and a little booklet about warranty information – you even have two years for something to fail before you can't get a free replacement. The cable comes wrapped up with a nice Velcro strap that allows you to take it wherever your gaming may take you.
The K90 also arrive on my doorstep in a nicely packed box; Corsair sure seems to know how to use proper packing methods with bubble pack and all. The box plays off the blue fade to black like the M90 did – it's like it was a set made to be. "VENGEANCE" is in huge yellow letters on the front of the box with a shot of the keyboard right behind it. A little plastic window on the left gives first glance of the keyboard itself – a good look at those dedicated macros.
English and French are the languages of choice again with the back of the box showing the top-down angle of the entire keyboard with the wrist rest attached. Seven key features are listed: Cherry MX Red switches, 18 dedicated G-Keys, full key matrix anti-ghosting, 20-key rollover on USB, pro-grade brushed aluminum chassis with laser etched keys, customizable profiles, and 36K of on-board memory. The edges of the packaging show a few of the features with close-up shots and you know before opening the box that you've got a two year warranty on the keyboard.
Time for opening the box – my favorite part! The keyboard comes in a nice form-fitting, recycled, encasement. The package is shaped to hold the components perfectly and has protected everything perfectly in shipping – seems a lot nicer than the usual plastic packaging that shatters when dropped and this is even environmentally friendly. However, it still has a plastic front, so perhaps it wasn't designed for the green impact but it sure makes disposing of it a lot easier since it just crushes up in your trash can. The whole keyboard is in view now and I like it.
Flipping over the package you can really see the contours designed to hold this specific package contents. The wrist rest, bundled cable, quick install guide, and warranty booklet are all neatly hidden within. Pulled away from this nifty packaging, the keyboard looks pretty nice and I'm looking forward to using it already. The cables come neatly bundled with the Velcro wrap; it looks like this is going to be a lot of fun.
The 90 series is quite appealing to the eye; both the M90 and the K90 are pretty impressive out of the box. I'm ready to use them but I'm guessing you'd like a little more up and personal look at the two – besides some box shots. Take a look at the next few pages to get a good look and see what each of these really has to offer you.

CLEVELAND (AP) - A 68-year-old man sentenced to six years in prison for fatally shooting his ailing wife in her hospital bed wants clemency to avoid dying in prison.
"I have to live with what I did and that will never change but I would truly appreciate the opportunity to pass my remaining years in the home I shared with my wife and son," John Wise, of Massillon, said in the clemency application.
The application, obtained Tuesday from the Ohio Parole Board, was submitted last week for the consideration of Gov. John Kasich.
Clemency options include reducing Wise's sentence or setting him free. The governor's spokesman said the administration does not comment on pending clemency applications.
The Summit County prosecutor's office in Akron has said it would oppose any reduction in Wise's punishment.
Wise, in a sworn statement notarized by his defense attorney, reiterated his remorse over killing his wife in 2012.
"I committed a horrible act while in a depressed and desperate mental state," Wise said. "I am truly sorry for what I did. Although I had nothing but good intentions that is no excuse."
The clemency application included five documents. The parole board said it does not release supporting documents.
The items listed include an affidavit from Wise's son, Mark, and reports from two psychologists. Mark Wise testified at the trial that his parents had a good relationship and that he had given his father a gun for protection.
The application was signed Dec. 18, two days before Wise went to the Lorain Correctional Institution located southwest of Cleveland. The application lists his marital state as "widow" and said he had retired from a steel plant with a disability in 2003.
Wise's physical ailments include chronic heart disease and diabetes.
"I am requesting clemency primarily due to my medical conditions which make it unlikely that I will survive six years in prison," he said in the clemency application.
Wise said he shot his debilitated wife out of love in August 2012 after she suffered aneurysms and appeared to be in pain at an Akron hospital. Mercy is not a defense to a murder charge in Ohio.
Wise's sentence handed down Dec. 13 was in line with a prosecution recommendation that he receive punishment lighter than the minimum 23 years on his most serious conviction, an aggravated murder count.
Prosecutors said the case warranted leniency, but they stressed that Wise's actions were illegal.
Police say Wise calmly walked into the hospital room on Aug. 4, 2012, and shot his wife of 45 years at her bedside. She died the next day. Wise told police he intended to kill himself, too, but the weapon jammed.
Barbara Wise, 65, was in the intensive care unit at Akron General Medical Center after suffering triple cerebral aneurysms that had left her unable to speak, a family friend has said.
A doctor testified that Barbara Wise wasn't terminally ill and appeared to be responding to treatment.

Ten different routes up one mountain? Monte Grappa, Italy, might just offer more ascent options than any other peak you've ridden – and they're all fantastic.
Situated at the northern end of the Veneto plain and just before the Dolomites, Monte Grappa is a giant mountain bordered on one side by the Brenta river and on the other by the Piave. The Grappa massif, which includes several of the mountain's adjacent peaks, is 100km in circumference alone, while the Monte Grappa is 1,775m high.
There are 10 different cycling routes up Monte Grappa to the Rifugio Bassano, a 'refuge' that sits at the summit. What's more, each requires at least 1,200m of climbing, and some as much as 1,500m.
And if you get bored of the same peak during your holiday? Nearby, just outside the town of Feltre, there are more than a dozen climbs that take you up 1,000m more. Typically, the roads are the size of a bike path and their use is limited to the few people that live in the high reaches of the mountains. There are monster climbs, steep ones, gentle ascents, long and short options, tiny roads that seem to be carved into cliff faces, roads that hug beautiful lakes… In short, it's cycling heaven.
Monte Grappa is king in this heaven. The mountain is a boon for the adventurous, compact-wielding cyclist, but it's also an Italian treasure. It was here that the country's elite mountain fighting force, the Alpini, managed to hold off the Austro-Hungarian empire in World War One. There isn't a town in the region that doesn't have a monument remembering and celebrating the sacrifices made.
The most difficult part of a visit to the area is deciding which side of the Grappa massif you'd prefer to be on. The northern side – including Feltre – is a little bit closer to the Dolomiti proper, and as such quite mountainous. On the southern side – we'll pick Castelcucco as an example town – you have Monte Grappa, the Asolo hills, the famed Montello, the hills of the Prosecco region and the flat expanse of the Veneto plain.
What's on offer
– Ten varied ascents up the legendary Monte Grappa, ranging from the pleasant and enjoyable to some of the hardest stretches of road you can imagine.
– While Monte Grappa is the focal point of the area, it's also just one of many amazing mountains, all within striking distance. To the south you have climbs such as Monte Cesen, Praderadego and the Passo San Boldo. And if you're looking for smaller challenges, the Mostaccin and Montello are perfect. The latter offers even more route options than Monte Grappa itself.
– If you don't want to face the numerous walls that Monte Grappa has on offer, you can try the gentler rolling land to the south. This area is also an example of a cycling hotbed – bikes don't get much more popular than they do on the Veneto plain.
– It's Italy, so fantastic food and wine are in abundant supply.
Why it's best
If you want to combine climbing legs with great weather, great gelato, great food, great wine, great roads, what more could you ask for?
How to get there
If you're flying, Venice is the best access point. From there, you're about 60km from the southern side of Monte Grappa and the beautiful volcanic hills of the Colli Asolani. It's roughly 85km from the airport to the northern side of Monte Grappa and the fantastic pre-Dolomiti town of Feltre.
In Feltre there are a lot of options. We recommend the bed and breakfast Monti del Sole, just above the town, which offers a beautiful view of Monte Grappa.
There are also a lot of options on the southern side of Monte Grappa, in Castelcucco. We're big fans of the Hotel Monte Grappa.
Bike shops
Try the Dalla Rosa Cicli di Renzo, Via Belluno 57, Feltre 32032 (+39 439 89219). It offers great service and is well stocked.

Create a simple wordpress plugin - find and replace
Orçamento $10-30 USD
I am looking for someone who can create a simple plugin for searching and replacing script (text) in posts and pages.
So the idea of the plugin is to create a small database of records with fields: Script/text to be replaced, New script/text (this needs to have option to be an URL as well), number of posts to be checked (last N days, of posts from Jan1,2017 to Jan31 st 2017, for example).
Script is doing search for keywords, and if found match replacing this with keyords from database.
HELPFUL: you can found some ideas how to build this here:
1. [login to view URL]
2. [login to view URL]
3. [login to view URL]
But of course the plugin needs to be original, NOT COPY of other , and we have copyrights on it.
Thank you !

How Rwanda Genocide Survivors Built a Cycling Team

Senate confirms Janet Yellen as next Fed chair
Updated at 6:40 p.m.
The Senate confirmed Janet Yellen to lead the Federal Reserve Monday by a vote of 56 to 26, capping off a tug-of-war between Democrats and Republicans over President Obama's nominees that dominated the Senate in its final weeks of 2013.
Yellen, who was nominated by President Obama in October, is the first woman to lead the institution in its 100-year history. She is currently a vice chair of the Fed, a position she has held since 2010, and is known as a close ally of current chairman Ben Bernanke, whose term expires at the end of January. She will take over on Feb. 1.
Though she was not an especially controversial pick for the job, Yellen's nomination was caught up in the midst of a fight between Senate Democrats and Republicans. When Republicans began blocking many of the president's nominees to executive and judicial branch positions, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., instituted a rules change that prevents the minority party from filibustering nominees for those jobs.
Even with the change, Yellen's nomination was still delayed by Republicans who were angry about Reid's move. It was supposed to occur before Congress recessed for the holidays, but was ultimately scheduled for the day of the Senate's return. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was also delaying the confirmation in protest of his inability to get Reid to schedule a vote on a bill to audit the Fed.
Before lawmakers left town, however, she cleared a key procedural vote by a margin of 59 to 34, signaling she would likely be confirmed. Her confirmation wasn't without opposition, though: before the vote, Heritage Action, an outside conservative group, announced it was opposing her nomination due to the Fed's monetary policies and would include it on a list of votes used to score lawmakers.
"With the bipartisan confirmation of Janet Yellen as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve, the American people will have a fierce champion who understands that the ultimate goal of economic and financial policymaking is to improve the lives, jobs and standard of living of American workers and their families," said President Obama in a statement.
The biggest challenge ahead for Yellen will be overseeing the so-called "taper" of monetary support for the economy it has been providing since 2008. Fed's rate-setting panel announced last month that it will cut its monthly purchases of mortgages and U.S. Treasury securities back to $75 billion a month, a $10 billion decrease.

'School Choice Week' Begins Today in Texas; 460 Events Planned in the Lone Star State
Gov. Perry Proclaims Jan. 26 - Feb. 1 as "Texas School Choice Week"
[Austin – Jan. 27, 2014] – This week is School Choice Week in Texas and across the country. More than 460 events are planned across the Lone Star State, in addition to 5,500 events nationwide. Lending support to the effort is Governor Rick Perry, who recently proclaimed Jan. 26 – Feb. 1 as "Texas School Choice Week."
The Week, which is the nation's largest-ever celebration of educational opportunity, gives students, parents, and teachers in Texas a chance to raise awareness of the different types of educational options available to families in advance of the 2014-2015 school year. Events across the state will include rallies, school fairs, roundtable discussions, open houses, and parent information sessions.
National School Choice Week spotlights all types of education options for families – including traditional public schools, public magnet schools, charter schools, private schools, online learning and homeschooling.
In addition to raising awareness of school choice options in Texas, the Week also provides students, parents and teachers with an opportunity to call on leaders in Austin to expand access to high-quality education environments for children.
"Texas families know that when parents have the freedom to choose the best schools for their children, great things happen," said Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week. "Student achievement increases, graduation rates rise, and children are better prepared for real life."
Said Campanella: "National School Choice Week chose Texas to host the Official Kickoff of this incredible week for a reason: school choice is working for Texas families, and Texas parents remain committed to advancing even greater educational options for their children. We are grateful for everyone in the Lone Star State who has given National School Choice Week a positive, Texas-sized welcome, and we thank Governor Perry for raising awareness of this important issue."
The Week officially kicked off at a major rally Saturday night in Houston, Texas. Today, students wearing National School Choice Week's signature yellow scarves will ring the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange.

National School Choice Week is an independent public awareness campaign that shines a spotlight on effective education options for all children. For more information, visit www.schoolchoiceweek.com

Assad talks peace, demands rebels halt violence
(CBS/AP) BEIRUT - Syria's president promised to do all he can to ensure U.N. envoy Kofi Annan's peace plan for his country succeeds but demanded that Annan secure a commitment from his opponents to halt violence even as rebels carried out a string of bold attacks, killing two army colonels and kidnapping a high-ranking pilot.
Bashar Assad's condition of an express promise from the opposition to stop attacks could complicate Annan's attempts to bring an end to more than a year of violence that the U.N. says has killed more than 9,000 people.
The opposition has cautiously welcomed Annan's six-point plan, which calls for Assad's regime to implement a cease-fire. But the opposition is also deeply skeptical Assad will carry it out, believing he has accepted the plan just to win time while his forces continue their assault to crush the uprising. Armed rebels are unlikely to stop fighting unless offensives by security forces halt.
A Western diplomat, speaking about the Kofi Annan 6-point peace plan, and Annan's planned briefing to the U.N. Security Council said that the negotiations are complicated and will take weeks if not months to put a ceasefire into effect, but his time is not unlimited.
The Western diplomat added, "Annan knows he has only a few cartridges, and he will therefore only have one or two shots," said CBS News Foreign Affairs Analyst Pamela Falk, from the U.N.
U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the Obama administration shares the opposition's skepticism.
"We've seen absolutely nothing on the ground that indicates they're adhering to its calls for Syrian artillery and heavy weaponry to go back to barracks and for a ceasefire to allow humanitarian assistance to be put in place. To date, we've seen no steps in that direction. So, it's not surprising but it's discouraging and disappointing," Toner said.
The diplomatic moves came as Arab leaders met Thursday in the Iraqi capital Baghdad in their annual summit and were expected to issue a resolution backing Annan's plan. In speeches at the summit, many leaders made clear they felt the burden was on Assad's regime to halt the fighting.
"The Syrian government is required today to listen to the voice of reason and wisdom and stop all kinds of violence," the emir of Kuwait told the gathering.
In comments carried on Syria's state news agency, Assad said "Syria will spare no effort to make (Annan's) mission a success and hopes it would return security and stability to the country."
But he added that Annan must also get a commitment from armed groups to cease their "terrorist acts" against the government.
Muslim rift visible in Arab summit attendance
Fresh violence after Syria accepts UN peace plan
Throughout the crisis, Assad's regime has held that it faces not a popular uprising against his rule but a campaign of violence by terrorists.
Syria's uprising began a year ago with peaceful protests against Assad, which were met with a fierce crackdown by security forces. Since then, army defectors and protesters who took up weapons have formed militias, initially to protect protesters. But as the bloodshed rose, they turned to seizing pro-opposition neighborhoods, towns and areas and launching attacks on government forces, usually raids on checkpoints or on army convoys.
The new attacks Thursday were particularly bold.
In Aleppo, Syria's largest city, gunmen opened fire on two army colonels in the downtown Bab al-Hadid traffic circle, killing them. The state news agency SANA said the four attackers belonged to an "armed terrorist group." The officers, identified as Abdel-Karim al-Rai and Fuad Shaban, were on their way to work.
In eastern Ghouta, a suburb a few kilometers (miles) from Damascus, gunmen kidnapped pilot Mohammad Omar al-Dirbas, a brigadier, while on his way to work, SANA said. The agency did not say where the three worked or what their positions were.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Also Thursday, rebels attacked an army truck and killed two soldiers in the central province of Hama, activists said. Fresh clashes also broke out between government troops and army defectors in the country's north and south, and activists said security forces killed at least 16 civilians across Syria on Thursday, including a child and two women.
SANA said authorities successfully liberated five military personnel who it said were kidnapped earlier by an "armed group" in the northern province of Idlib.
Aleppo has largely been spared clashes between government forces and rebels. However, two mysterious bombings in the city this month killed 29 people. No group claimed responsibility.
The U.N. says more than 9,000 people have been killed since Syrians first took to the streets last year to call for political reforms.
In Thursday's attack on the army truck in central Hama province, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said rebels killed two soldiers.
The group said at least five civilians were killed Thursday in army raids on rebellious villages in the Idlib province along Syria's northern border with Turkey. It also reported clashes in the southern town of Dael.
An activist in that town said residents woke up to a huge explosion followed by intense gunfire. He said the fighting and gunfire from government snipers have kept civilians pinned in their homes.
"The security situation is very hard, with snipers on the roofs," Adel al-Omari said over the phone. "It is very dangerous here, and you can't leave your house. Anyone who moves is targeted."
The Observatory said eight soldiers were wounded in the Dael clashes.
The group said security forces killed at least 16 civilians across Syria on Thursday, while another group, the Local Coordination Committees, put the day's death toll at 31, including a child and two women.
Activist claims could not be independently verified. The Syrian government rarely comments on clashes and has barred most news media from working in the country.

Post subject: Variation
First, to some of the inane crtique. Everywhere you go, food terminology is different. Chili peppers for example can mean one of many types of peppers, usually depending on what is available in a locale. In a lot of the U.S., if you order Shrimp Scampi, you get something similar to this dish. So, clarification is fine, but bashing shows your mentality and bias.
With that said, I usually make this with a twist. I add about 1/4 cup of dry white cooking wine during the last 2 - 3 minutes of cooking. Really gives this recipe a great twist. Try it sometime. Great easy recipe.

I made some alterations to this recipe. I'm not saying it's better, just that I'm a freak for flavor and sauces. I sautéed 3 imported shallots, thinly sliced in butter and olive oil (amount depends on how much shrimp is used). I did 2 1/2 lbs shrimp so I used 5-6 TBS butter 2-3 TBS oil. Then 2-3-tsp minced garlic, put in shrimp (tails on
I then added 1TBS crushed parsley, grated pepper, paprika and fresh grated parmesan cheese (coating top layer of shrimp) and lemon juice (preferred fresh squeezed), flipped the shrimp after 2 min or so, repeated same process with 1 TBS parsley, pepper, paprika, cheese and lemon juice. When shrimp starts to turn pink I do a quick flip and then add some light cream (not much, a couple of TBS). I toss it with seasoned linguini (olive oil, butter, pepper and small amount of salt-to taste) Lots of flavor is sealed in the shrimp!

Hey, I'm not the one who named the dish. This is what it's called in the United States - I just wanted to share how I cook the equivalent dish.
If there's too much confusion over the title of the dish, I'll change it, but I was under the impression that calling this dish "Shrimp Scampi" would immediately bring forth images of shrimp in butter garlic sauce. Let me know if I am mistaken and what the title of this dish is supposed to be called. (And yes, I did think it was odd for a dish to be called shrimp shrimp, but there are plenty of food names that don't make sense...)
You are right-on with the title, don't change. The only thing I would add is "Shrimp scampi with <name of pasta>" since I like scampi with angel hair pasta instead of linguine. To each his own, that's the American way. The pundit from Epicurious needs to go back there.

Post subject: Unpeeled shrimp in France & England
I always order Scampi if it's on the menu but in Britain (and most recently) France they don't seem to peel the shrimp before serving it. My english friend said the shells are edible but my reply was "why would I want to eat them". Has anyone else run into this? I don't want to be an ignorant American but it seems a bit lazy on the part of the cook and very unappealing to my senses. Any comment?

Any comment?
Well, while I don't want to call you ignorant, your comment does come off that way (a little, sorry). My passive observation of general food preparation in France (I'm afraid I can't comment on Britain's preparations) and in the States shows me this (now keep in mind, I said GENERAL):
In France, food is culture. And so, flavor is HUGE. (Seriously. You should see the way French people describe food -- their most recent meal, a new restaurant, etc. It's amazing...and kind of endearing.) Food that's cooked bone-in, shell-on, etc. is usually found to be more flavorful. Perhaps that's why they do that in France. Even if that's not the case, I don't believe that it's laziness. That's not to say all meals in France are perfect. But I've had more good meals than bad
I really appreciate France's ties to its agriculture. Granted it's a MUCH smaller country, so I suppose it's easier, but they (the people I know anyway) want to know where something comes from. They take pride in how they raise their livestock and REALLY enjoy what they eat. I've never met a French person who feels guilty after enjoying a crême brûlée or a buttery pain au chocolat.
In America, food's practically sterilized and made overly convenient. Or at least, had been for many years. That is, people can't stand to be reminded that meat comes from actual animals (I know people like this, but, of course, your p.o.v. may be different depending on what your origins are). People go for the safe and ready-to-cook stuff. And when you're pressed for time, it's great. But sometimes it seems like a sort of refusal to deal with the real thing. We want things that are skinless, featherless, bloodless, boneless, etc. Agriculture has become so industrialized in the US. But I guess when you're trying to fill the demand of a country as massive as ours, it was inevitable. That's not to say that there are no more ma & pop farms.
(There are! There are even such farms in NJ. I should know, I'm from NJ -- we're The Garden State, you know
Luckily, people are starting to be more adventurous with food and becoming more interested in cooking. I'm thinking that (at least) part of that has to do with the popularity of the Food Network (I miss it!). That said, I would, kill for a good, juicy burger and fresh cut (with the skin still on!), peppery fries and a nice, plump, crispy dill pickle. Holy crap. That kind of thing I feel Americans do best
I had a point, but I'm not sure if I got there. I ended up writing more than I meant to and in doing so, I kind of lost track...but, hopefully I don't come across as anti-American, because that'd be silly. I AM American and I love my country. But I do have to admit, I was getting really bored with the general humdrumness of "American cuisine" the last year or so before I left for France. Luckily, I had my mom's cooking to fall back on. She makes some AMAZING Korean food. YUM! (..although, unfortunately, the majority of French people seem to not be able to handle their spicy food too well and so a lot of the Korean food here is "dumbed" down)
Anyway, sorry for the rambling! Happy eating & cooking to you all.
I really love and appreciate your site here, Michael.

Easy, decadent, and pretty all in one dish. I LOVE shrimp scampi, but it's literally been years since I've eaten it and I've actually never made it. I have a tendency to skip over dishes that have been "done a million times before" or that are "easy". Sometimes that's a downfall of mine because I end up missing out on noshing on the classics. I consider this dish a classic. Thanks for the recipe as I will be whiping some of this up very soon!

Scampi in the US refers to the cooking method not the ingredient. Thus you can have shrimp scampi, chicken scampi, etc.

Post subject: Italian seasoning?
For a poor college kid, this is actually very inexpensive and tasty! I don't use parsley, though. When the shrimp are flipped and the second side is being cooked, I dash garlic salt and Italian seasoning onto the shrimp - it really brings out this amazing flavor that hits the spot perfectly. I also use angel hair pasta because it's the quickest to cook and doesn't stick together (the flatter pastas, like linguini, always do no matter how often I stir!).
Thanks for the recipe!

Post subject: mmmm sounds like a great recipe!!!
I'm making this tonight:) I'll be sure to come back and post how my family liked it.
The one thing you can do to add more shrimp flavor to the dish would be to make a stock to cook the pasta in. I take a couple of carrots, couple stalks of celery, 1/2 a small onion, a few garlic cloves, some peppercorns, a few bay leaves and about 8 cups of water. Simmer that down for a few hours, then toss in the shrimp shells and cook for another 15 minutes or so, adding more water if needed. Strain all that stuff out, reserving the liquid of course;)put the stock back into the pasta pot, and add enough water to cook the pasta in. It's not a ton of water either, like the directions on the pastas will say, because you WANT that starchiness so you can add about 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the dish, it helps thicken the sauce
I use about half the recommended water and never have trouble with stickiness or the flavor.
I'll also be doubling the garlic, we're garlic freaks, lol!
Thanks for a great recipe!~
