Click this link for the previous article in our Hartz "Executive Summary" exposé: Hartz and Its Nasty Little Habit of Putting Words in the EPA's Mouth
The report Hartz used to create Figures 3 and 1 found in their "Executive Summary of EPA Evaluation of Pet Spot-On Products" comes from a Hartz document, entitled "An Analysis of EPA Adverse Effect Data: July 1, 2006 – June 30, 2008" authored by Charles T. Gaskins, PhD; Professor of Animal Science; Washington State University. You may recall, we mentioned Dr. Gaskins before.
Here is a link to Dr. Charles T. Gaskins' report.
The document, "An Analysis of EPA Adverse Effect Data: July 1, 2006 – June 30, 2008", claims in multiple areas to be an "independent statistical analysis", however, Broken Hartz wishes to point out, Hartz' decision to utilize Dr. Charles T. Gaskins for this "independent" analysis created a large conflict of interest.
Dr. Melinda Fernyhough, Hartz' Manager of Scientific Affairs (and the originator of Hartz Mountain Corporation's "Executive Summary of EPA Evaluation of Pet Spot-On Products") earned her BS Degree in Animal Sciences, DVM and PhD from Washington State University. Dr. Charles T. Gaskins was a professor during the time of Dr. Fernyhough's attendance.
One year after practicing in a small animal clinic, Dr. Fernyhough accepted the position of Manager of Scientific Affairs with Hartz. In this same year, Dr. Fernyhough was named to the Friends of Animal Sciences (FAS) Board of Directors. Dr. Charles T. Gaskins was chairman of this Washington State University organization one year prior and continued to be a member of FAS afterwards.
Out of the 28 Veterinary schools in the country, Washington State University is typically ranked slightly below average.
Here is the link to the grad-schools.usnews link referenced in the screenshot above.
With more prestigious schools available and the obvious conflict of interest, we find it questionable for Hartz to use Dr. Charles T. Gaskins or any Washington State University alumni for the purposes of obtaining an "independent statistical analysis."
Furthermore; the report compiled by Dr. Charles T. Gaskins, although created for the purposes of addressing the EPA Public Advisory published in March 2010, makes no attempt to match up with the products found in the EPA's Public Advisory.
Dr. Gaskin's report not only includes nineteen products that bear no relevance to the EPA's Public Advisory, but it also mysteriously omits three of the products that are listed. Those three products, conveniently enough, are the Sergeant's dog product (2517-94, mentioned in a previous post) that had no dog deaths in 2008, Summit Vetpharm, LLC's cat product (mentioned in the same previous post) that had no deaths or major events in 2008 (83399-9) and Summit Vetpharm, LLC's dog product (83399-6). This product had just two dog deaths and no major events in 2008; but we feel it was, more importantly, left out because it would make the omission of Summit Vetpharm, LLC's cat product more noticeable.
Lastly, Dr. Gaskins saw fit to merge the Moderate and Minor events together, but these event distinctions exist because they are so different and to ignore the differences is poor practice.
Still more to come.
As with the last post that mentioned these products, we at Broken Hartz wish to strongly caution readers about the above named products (Sergeant's product 2517-94 and Summit Vetpharm LLC's product 83399-9).
While these products had no reported deaths, the Sergeant's product contains 45% Permethrin, a very dangerous pyrethroid responsible for many deaths cited in the EPA's Public Advisory and it's accompanying documents. Chemicals act quite predictably and logic suggests the only reason for disparity is any deaths went unreported or Sergeant's simply chose to lie on its incident reports.
Additionally; Summit Vetpharm LLC, during the time of the EPA's Public Advisory, was primarily held by Sumitomo Corporation the same company that owns Hartz. Sumitomo transferred it's primary shares of Summit Vetpharm LLC a little while ago and in May of this year, they will hand over majority stock of Hartz to Unicharm, a large player in the Asian pet-care market. Sumitomo is also the manufacturer of Permethrin, the chemical referenced above.
More on Sumitomo later.

Re: Dress form
There's a very popular German sewing page that's mainly frequented by goths and alternative people, and someone on there had made their own dress form. Maybe that would be an alternative for a start?
What you do is this:
- put on an oversized t-shirt that you won't need anymore
- have someone tape you up all around with panzer tape or something similar, something really strong, until you're practically in a stiff tape "armour"
- cut open one side or the back to carefully extract yourself from the construct - it should now have your measurements, plus maybe half a cm!
- tape the cut in the construct back together smoothly
- stuff the dress form with whatever, maybe crushed newspapers? styrofoam bits? wadding? something that'll last a bit
- mount it on a broom stick or something similar
I know people who have made very good experiences with these, although I personally haven't used one yet.

Re: Dress form
I bought that one and was disappointed in the quality for the price (and that it wasn't as adjustable as I thought). I ended up with a Uniquely You, which I really like.

Re: Dress form
I had one of the Joann ones years ago. I could never get it adjusted quite right and the fabric covering peeled off after a while. I would take your measurements and then see if you can adjust a store model one to fit you before you buy. I ended up donating mine to our local HS. I have a Uniquely You but haven't adjusted it post baby and I was preggo when I bought it used. I will say that it is awesome because you can pin right into it because it's made out of foam.

Re: Dress form
I own this model, but mostly use it solely for bedlahs and hanging skirts. Although the body is adjustable horizontally, the rib-cage and bust are not independent of each other, so it's not very handy for actual fitted clothing. It's not adjustable vertically through the torso, so if you have a long waist, or a short waist, you have to work by guess and by golly.
On the plus side, she looks fine sitting in my living room in my unfinished costumes! And she makes cutting the hem on a circle skirt easy. I put her on my dining room table, pin the skirt at the right height, and cut right at the table top.

Re: Dress form
I also own a similar form, and I agree with Zeeva that it has several shortcoming as far as what's adjustable. I got mine on some ridiculous low priced Black Friday sale, or I don't think it would have been worth it.
I don't really know of any way to fix the torso length if that's an issue- but I have come across some directions for how to 'pad out' a dress form to make it more like your own body and one of my upcoming projects will be giving it a try on the one I have. Some of the directions are for non-adjustable forms, but I think they can be adapted to the adjustable kind too.

I'm sure there are other sites like these out there. I also found more directions for the duct-tape forms on threads:

Re: Dress form
I am so mad, my mum donated gran's dress form to charity without even asking the rest of us! Argh! I haven't found anything I really like, so keep the suggestions coming! I tried the duct tape method, but it does deform a fair bit in process. I'm thinking of doing a plaster cast and figuring out some way of using foam to fill the negative and then just cover it in cloth- but that's a big project and I haven't found a good fill substance yet. Love the non-adjustable, cloth covered ones in the theater costume shop, but haven't found them anywhere and the costume shop isn't parting with them! I have no problem adding extra padding where necessary, but I need a base to work with!

Re: Dress form
I have purchased the ones from Joann's as well. they are great fro a couple years then the plastic (which is very thin) gets brittle and if you push to hard to get the measurements to change (ie. squeezing it in to make it smaller OR pulling it put to make it larger) the plastic cracks and breaks off Or the mechanisms that you move to increase or decrease break off and then it's totally worthless. This has happened 2 times now so I have bought a Singer dress form this time I just havent taken it ou of the box yet.

Re: Dress form
I have read enough bad reviews I opted out of it- which is frustrating because I have bras and skirts I'd like to get pinned up- hemming skirts with no help is... well tedious and a complete PITA.
Ah well- my pillow form will have to continue to make do for the time being.
A friend actually suggested plaster casting- I thought about it- but as she has a massive crush on me- I wasn't comfortable letting her touch my body to be honest. But it sounded fun- if I can convince the man to do it ... game on ;)

A.K.A the monthly What Are You Playing thread. Thought I'd spice it up a bit from the norm with not only what you're currently going through gaming-wise, but what you also expect to be playing later in the month.
Currently Playing: Okamiden and Skyward Sword.
Despite having owned it for the best part of a year now I still haven't finished Okamiden, which when considering my Okami-fanboyism is quite a problem that I hope to remedy quite soon.
Usually with Zelda games I play them through at least twice, and Hero mode on Skyward Sword has been beckoning the 2nd go for a while now. Jesus Christ does it start off difficult though. :/
Expected to be playing: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance on my shiny new 3DS XL.
Theatrhythm comes out next week and it's long been preordered so I'm looking forward to that greatly, more so after the demo. Same with DDD, though that'll be the end of the month, quite close to the XL launch too.

~ Longeing
Friendly" version of this page)
Longeing is used to teach a horse direction, posture, how to yield and move off pressure. We have all seen people who won't ride a horse until after they have longed in order to get the extra energy or "stink" out of the horse so that they can ride. Think about how absurd this is. You should be the one who directs the horses energy where you want it. If anything, you should be the one who has the relaxed posture so that you don't send the wrong message to the horse. If you have a horse that isn't safe to ride until it's tired, what the heck are you doing getting on? This is called "stealing a ride". Go back to the basics because something is wrong. Longeing with a 22 or 45 foot line is used to teach a horse to yield from a greater distance than the standard lead rope. You can also work with difficult or scared horses from a safe distance. You will know that you've done your ground work correctly when you have your horse on the end of a 45 foot longe line and can get them to eye yield without "moving a muscle" or sending any energy down the rope. Once you've mastered this, it's time to get rid of the training aids and try free longeing. The most effective way teach a horse to longe is with a 12 or 14 foot lead rope. Begin by asking the horse to back up. Ask the horse to move off in a direction by holding out your direction hand and putting pressure on the lead rope. If the horse hesitates or will not move off, raise your power hand. If they still don't move off, direct energy at the horses rear by twirling the rope overhand. When the horse begins to move, take the power hand completely off and down to your side. You want the horse to relate the power hand to movement and if you always keep it up, it loses its impact. After you have used the foot lead, then you can move up to the 22 or 45 foot lead. In some cases you may not want to start with the 12 or 14 foot rope, such as the above example of a scared or difficult horse.
IMPORTANT: Your power hand has to be held higher than the direction hand. Otherwise you look like a clothes line to the horse and you're just going to confuse him. This is easier than it sounds. For example, if you want to longe your horse counter clockwise (to the left), use your left hand to ask for direction. Hold the lead rope with a little bit of pressure. Did your horse move into the direction that you asked? Twirl the rope overhand directed at the horses rear. Did the horse move off? You
also need to be able to longe from above the horse. This will prepare
the horse for the time that you are sitting above him in the saddle. The
easiest way to do this is off of a wood fence or arena wall. Make sure
that your legs are anchored and you have unobstructed access to the horse.
Your goal should be to longe the horse up and down the rail. At first
you will find this difficult because the horse will drift out from you because
they are not comfortable with your new height. With some time, you will
find that you can bring the horse right up to you. Ordering Information
The splice is sewn so that it won't unravel. See our lead and longe catalog

Russell Brand spent 99 percent of his famous life as a notorious womanizer, but all bets were off when he met and fell in love with Katy Perry. Suddenly, the monogamous married life seemed as if it was calling his name and he exchanged some vows… only to get divorced a little over a year later. There's been lots of talk about exactly what went wrong there, as Russell and Katy were just crazy enough of a couple to work. Turns out, a lot of the problem was just that Russell really, really likes having sex with the myriad of "options" in front of him. Oh, brother. Read more on Evil Beet Gossip…

It is a truly audacious sign of hope
that the public had the sense to rebel at this privileged man's
assertion of even more privilege and that the new president decided
that he had better listen to us. Daschle tried to assert that his tax
problem was simply an honest mistake, but people working hard just to
make ends meet are no longer willing to cut someone like him a break.
It's not just that Obama has raised the bar on ethics standards; it's
that we the people are raising them even higher.
Surely we have enough good and smart
people willing to work to solve our nation's problems who have also
paid their fair share of taxes. It is a good thing that Obama
jettisoned Daschle. It would have been mighty hard for most of us to
swallow the tax bite of a new health plan written by a man who admitted
that he kind of forgot to pay a tax that equals what three of us earn,
in a year.
Daschle, like Tim Geitner, our new
Treasury secretary, didn't pay the taxes that he was supposed to pay.
The formulas were complicated, the excuses palatable and the apologies
sincere, but they couldn't hide from working Americans a simple truth:
These guys make so much more money than we do that they just don't have
a clue. We have broken the race barrier around the White House, but the
class barrier seems well-entrenched.
Daschle made enough money as a lobbyist
that he could forget about paying more than $100,000 in taxes. He could
grow so used to the inner confines of the Lincoln—or was it a stretch
Hummer?—that he didn't notice it was coming from his buddy, Leo Hindery
of InterMedia Partners, the boss who paid him up to $2 million each
year for a part-time job. He thought of it as the kindness of a good
friend. The boss remembering your birthday is a kindness. Sending the
limo around every morning is like getting your card punched letting you
into the circle where rules don't apply. (Daschle's other $2 million
part-time job was to be a non-lobbyist lobbyist for the law firm Alston
& Bird.)
Daschle spent enough time in a limo that
the taxes on the value of those rides alone were in six figures.
Haven't we had enough of government by the rich, for the rich, and of
the rich? Isn't it now abundantly clear that the tie that binds our
lawmakers to our corporate and financial elites is their perch high
atop the pecking order of a class structure we can now see more clearly
than ever?
It's not about you, Tom. It's about the
seductive influence of power. It's about the sad reality that for many
who leave public office a far more lucrative career knocking on the
doors of their old friends awaits.
No one denies that Tom Daschle is a good man. But how
does a good man from South Dakota talk himself into believing that he
needs to spend his life in a limousine? He's too old for the prom. He's
been married twice already, the second time to one of Washington's
biggest lobbyists, who works on behalf of the airline industry. You can
hear the wheels turning in his head. "Well, everyone else is doing it.
The Metro is too slow, I hate to drive, you can't get a cab when you
need one, and it might rain on my suit just before the big
presentation." I'm sure you can relate.
And how does a president who proudly
pointed to his vice president's years riding Amtrak to and from work
expect us to show the love to the limo man? This comes hard on the
heels of the automotive executives being run out of town for daring to
fly their corporate jets to Washington, D.C., to beg for a bailout.
The entitlement culture that has taken
hold in Washington is out of control. A change in party alone won't
alter that. Daschle should be exhibit A—he left the Senate
involuntarily at a time when the law prevented him from becoming a
lobbyist until a year was up—so he and his bipartisan buddies cooked up
another name for a lobbyist, "special adviser." In this realm, the
distinction between Democrats and Republicans is meaningless. Daschle
was brought into Alston & Bird by his old friend Republican Sen.
Robert Dole.
Public Citizen, a lobby without limos,
says that nearly one-third of retiring lawmakers end up on K Street as
lobbyists. (We're still waiting to see if our recently retired
congressman, Jim Walsh, joins the gravy train.)
A generation ago, when elections didn't
cost nearly as much, politicians didn't spend so many of their waking
hours begging for cash. Until we wise up and finance our elections
publicly, we'll continue to get the best government K Street money can
buy. If President Obama can add campaign finance reform to his
first-term agenda, the momentary embarrassment of the Daschle affair
may be seen as the prelude to one of his lasting achievements.

Could you describe a typical day during cross country season?
When my watch alarm nudges me into groggy consciousness, I massage my feet, stretch my hamstrings, jam my custom-made orthodics into muddy sneakers, and speed away on my rusty bike to class, during which I hydrate, snack, and pop iron supplements. After class, I read under my favorite tree until the clock over Willis strikes three, when I enter panic mode and skim as fast as humanly possible until 3:05, at which point, absolutely itching for movement, I jump up and dash to the Rec Center. The Rec Center door opens a dream world full of people exercising. As I step inside, (our coach) Donna shouts her greetings from the balcony above the giddy laughter of my teammates. Happy, girly, and pump-up music blasts from the women's locker room, revealing the incredible singing voices and widely varied musical tastes of our cross country team. Promptly at 3:28 (We are on Donna Time, and Donna's watch is always two minutes fast) Donna shares her latest news and plans with us, then we spill out the back door into the arb for a killer workout on our favorite paths. After the workout, we strengthen our cores, stretch, and stop at our logbooks to record mileage, note pain and soreness, and lie about how much we slept last night. We gradually migrate to the trainer's in order to get our daily fix of Calvin and Hobbes while undoing the damage we've done to our bodies through physical therapy exercises, ice bags, ice cups, and ice baths. A quick shower segues into dinner, and then, but not before 8pm, the library. Luckily, my books and computer can take care of themselves in the libe while I take leisurely walks, bike rides, and trips to the snack bar for giant cookies with friends.
How would you describe the personality of your team?
Our team is a really neat mix of women from all walks of life who all happen to love to run. What struck me most about this team when I first arrived was its cooperative nature. It's "I am going to do everything I can to be the best I can be, and I am going to do everything I can to help you succeed with me."
Do you have any team traditions?
Plenty. My favorite tradition is Karhu, a race against St. Olaf in which the women who will be running at Regionals dress up as bearded ladies to cheer on the rest of the team. I love this race because it is one of the only times that we get to watch our teammates race, and to finally shout at them all the positive, motivational thoughts we can only send by telepathy during normal races.
How do you balance academics and athletics?
I make athletics my respite from academics. It's much easier to work hard between classes or before practice knowing that I am about to go on a three hour extremely refreshing study break. When track finishes in the spring, I am usually so excited to have extra time to study, and I'll spend those first couple days studying during all the time I used to spend at practice, and I find that it is much too draining; I'm not a happy person if I don't play outside a few hours a day, and if I'm unhappy, I'm unproductive.
What is your advice to prospective student-athletes?
Speaking for cross country, ask how much of yourself you are willing to give. You need no talent, only to dedicate an enormous chunk of time, energy, and love into the team and the sport. True, it may feel exhausting at times, especially at first, but it really does feed one's soul.

Brainy watched as Helga walked down the street, staring down at the sidewalk. It had been another day at P.S 118, where Helga had once again tortured Arnold to hide her true feelings. She had already done a monologue in the janitor's closet, to no one but Brainy's knowledge. He had opened the door and caught her right in the middle of it, holding her locket into the air and circling around. He wheezed, and she had hit him.
It was a ritual. And he loved his part, even though he always had to get new glasses. He just hated to see her so miserable. Why wouldn't she just tell him? Why continue to hurt herself because of him? She knew how Brainy

From the Editor | Main Blog Index
June 23, 2011
Flying halfway around the world to just gather news seems like a waste of time in the information age. But when it comes to supercomputing shows like ISC, being there in person cannot be duplicated by the remote experience, despite live streaming sessions, video blogs, and ISC twitter feeds.
Part of that has to do with the fact that information just seems to flow more freely under the chaotic conditions of a busy show floor. The other aspect is that exhibitors assume they're talking to potential prospects, so the vendors tend to be a little looser lipped than I'm used to as a journalist.
For example, although Intel wasn't willing to share with me over email last week that their first Many Integrated Core (MIC) product, aka Knights Corner, would support ECC memory, one person in the Intel booth at ISC did indeed confirm that MIC would be released with such support. (The Knights Ferry prototype is using a vanilla, i.e., non-ECC, graphics memory controller.) Like I mentioned in my original reporting of this week's MIC news, it would be inconceivable not to have ECC support in this HPC product, so no big surprise here.
I also found out that the peak performance on the Knights Ferry prototype is 1.2 single precision (SP) teraflops. Given that the next year's Knights Corner product will be on 22nm technology and will have about twice as many cores, I expect it will at least double that SP floating point teraflops, with maybe half the number for double precision (DP).
The GPU contingent from AMD won't be intimidated from such floppery though. They told me that the next version of the FireStream HPC product will have twice the performance of the current model. The 9350 and 9370 products being shipped today deliver 528 DP gigaflops and 2.64 SP teraflops. The new FireStreams will be announced this fall -- around SC11, I'm guessing -- and will start shipping sometime in early 2012.
Meanwhile NVIDIA says it will deliver its next generation Kepler GPU architecture in 2012, At an ISC presentation by Nvidian Sumit Gupta, he estimated the new GPU will deliver about 5 DP gigaflops per watt, or maybe even better than that. "Kepler is going to be an amazing performance per watt GPU," he promised.
If NVIDIA maintains the same thermal envelope as the current Fermi-class devices (225-250 watts), then the Kepler GPUs will be well north of a double precision teraflop. In fact all three 2012 HPC accelerators look to top one DP teraflop, but it is unlikely that any will reach 2 teraflops. With that kind of performance parity, the competitive differentiators may be energy efficiency and ease of programming.
In the latter case, Intel may have the edge. I heard a number of comments here in Hamburg that MIC is more straightforward to program than a GPU, at least to get an initial, non-optimized port -- not just because it's based on the x86 architecture, but because it lends itself more easily to standard multicore-style programming frameworks, like OpenMP. That indeed will warm the hearts of many application developers, inasmuch as a lots of code is already parallelized with OpenMP.
On the other hand, CUDA remains the more mature software environment for manycore acceleration at this point, and AMD said that the upcoming FireStream offerings will also include more advanced tools, libraries, and drivers. In any case, software development for accelerator programming is bound to get easier over the next year, but the devil will be in the details.
On the energy efficiency front, it looks like all three HPC accelerator offerings will need at least need 200 watts to hit a teraflop. It remains to be seen if Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD will have any appreciable edge.
On the broader topic of energy efficiency, there was lots of chatter at the conference about exascale power budgets. The current goal of US federal agencies is to have an exaflop fit into 20MW. That means to run such a system will cost about $20 million per year in the US and 20 million euros in Europe. Unfortunately, a number of people in the know at ISC thought that was quite an optimistic figure for the first exaflop systems. Estimates for these early machines ranged from as much 40MW (Cray CTO Steve Scott) to 200 MW (LSU prof Thomas Sterling).
The power problem is not a showstopper though. There are 100MW datacenters today and if the political will is there to fund power-sucking monsters at this scale, it could be done. Eventually exaflop systems will use 20MW, and less, but perhaps not the first crop of machines.
On a related note, Japan's March 11 earthquake/tsunami disaster is already forcing that nation's HPC community to deal with reduced power availability. Not that they weren't already focused on energy efficiency. Japanese supercomputing has always had to adhere to strict power budgets since the nation lacks significant indigenous energy resources. But the situation is especially acute right now.
In a presentation at ISC, the University of Tsukuba's Taisuke Boku told the audience that in the wake of the disaster, four one-gigawatt power plants are now offline. According to him, Tokyo residents, businesses, and other organizations (including HPC centers) will be required to cut their power usage by 15 percent this summer because of the downed plants.
Boku said this summer the university's PACS-CS supercomputer will be shut down during the day, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, to deal with the power restriction shortage. And this is expected to continue for a number of years while Japan rebuilds its power plant infrastructure. The irony here is that PACS-CS uses low voltage Xeons, so is already is built for energy-efficient operation.
An even bigger irony is that the Japanese K Computer, which captured the number one spot on the TOP500 list is using about 10MW. The fact that an 8-petaflop machine uses half the 20MW that people are aiming for in an exaflop machine should be sobering enough. The bigger problem though is that power consumption for the top systems is increasing faster than gains in energy efficiency. As we say in the HPC biz, that doesn't scale.
I actually have more to report from my Hamburg excursion, including some interesting developments to create net zero carbon HPC datacenters. But that will have to wait for another time.

Four years have passed and a lot has changed for Barack Obama. This time around the gloss and glamour of his 2008 campaign seem absent as he tries to convince the American public to let him finish the job he started.
Obama's first term was spent repairing and steadying a country battered by the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression. The lofty goals of "change" referenced across his speeches had to be shelved for prudence. And while many adjectives can be found to describe Obama's term report card, few would argue that the situation has not improved. In fact, many supporters cite the hand Obama was dealt as a key ingredient in killing the enthusiasm that swept the nation four years ago, a hand that was dealt by the policies of a Republican administration; one not dissimilar to the man standing opposite Obama.

Think Your Exposure to BPA is Minimal and Harmless? Think Again
September 30, 2010 by admin
Filed under News Stories
September 30, 2010
Natural News
By: Jonathan Benson
Some recent reports about the dangers of the plastic chemical bisphenol A (BPA) insist that people not worry because overall exposure is limited, they say. But a new report published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives says otherwise, estimating that the average person is exposed to at least eight times the daily amount of BPA that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers "safe".
"Our data raise grave concerns that regulatory agencies have grossly underestimated current human exposure levels," explain study authors in their report.
Many even question the EPA's 50 micrograms per day threshold, citing evidence that minimal amounts of the chemical interfere with proper hormone balance, both in children and adults. But at eight times that amount, there is no telling the amount of damage being inflicted.
According to Thomas Zoeller, a biology professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, BPA is known to mimic estrogen in the body. It also binds to two other receptors, including those associated with male hormones like testosterone and thyroid hormones. When altered, these imbalanced hormones eventually lead to serious illness.
Some argue that the liver filters out most BPA from the body within a few hours anyway, but scientific studies have shown that this is not the case. Julia Taylor, a biologist at the University of Missouri, conducted a study on both mice and monkeys which revealed that some BPA stays in the blood and remains "biologically active" long after exposure. And such findings can be extrapolated from monkeys and mice to humans because these animals process BPA in similar ways to humans.
"These data should make us reconsider some previously held hypotheses about BPA, such as how quickly it is cleared from the body and the differences in metabolism between species," emphasized Linda Birnbaum, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, concerning the findings.
Editor's Note: NaturalNews is strongly against the use of all forms of animal testing. We fully support the implementation of humane medical experimentation that promotes the health and well-being of all living creatures.

MYRTLE BEACH — A final vote that would allow the county to borrow $8 million for a project that could bring 1,020 jobs to the area has been delayed until later this month.
Horry County Council, which has given two initial approvals to $8 million in general obligation bonds for what business recruiters call Project Blue, was expected to take a final vote Tuesday, but decided to postpone it. The company, known to be a call center, although the corporation has not been identified, asked that it be removed from Tuesday's agenda.
Council is considering a bevy of factors, one of which is the company's pending contract with a Fortune 100 client that has yet to be signed, according to council chairman Tom Rice.
Candace Howell, Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corp.'s director of marketing and membership, said the company wants to have the contract signed before the council's next vote.
"We want the 1,000 jobs, but we want to make sure we do everything we can to protect the taxpayer," Rice said.
Howell said it is important to get final approval from the County Council to finalize the deal, and that the final vote on the bonds and a closed meeting to brief the council on the project has been moved to the council's Sept.18 meeting.
Officials still won't reveal the name of Project Blue, which would be in the Carolina Forest area, have a $30 million annual payroll and a $75 million annual economic impact on the area, EDC officials have said. Average wages at the call center would be $14.36 an hour.
The company wanted to begin construction on a building around Sept.1, but the council had moved back the date for its final vote from Aug.21 to Tuesday, pushing back the project. Brad Lofton, EDC's president and chief executive officer, has said Project Blue could begin construction on a building in late September.
The county added a condition to the proposal presented to the council that would terminate the agreement if the project doesn't go forward as planned.
If certain requirements are not met – except for the construction of a building for Project Blue – by Dec.31, then the county would not take on an $8 million debt and would get out of buying the building if the company leaves after five years.
Under the proposal, if the company doesn't stay longer than five years and EDC cannot find another tenant for the building, the county would purchase the 60,000-square-foot building from the developer along with 600 parking spaces and 10 acres at the beginning of year six for $7 million.
If the county has to buy the building back, Santee Cooper – South Carolina's state-owned electric and water utility – guarantees to loan the county $6 million for 10 years, if the facilities are used for economic development purposes, with the remaining $1 million coming from EDC's product development fund.
If that happened, the county could use the building for a critical services complex, which would cost another $1 million to upgrade.
Todd Garvin contributed to this report.

A SCHOOLBOY has been arrested by detectives investigating an attack outside a Birmingham mosque which left a man fighting for his life.
The 15-year-old, who is from the Small Heath area, was arrested at 7.40pm on Sunday and is currently being questioned by officers about the attack which happened on Friday afternoon near the Noor-ul-Uloom Mosque in St Oswald Road.
The 22-year old victim was taken to the city's Queen Elizabeth Hospital with life-threatening head injuries after reportedly being hit with a baseball bat during a disturbance between a group of people.
He suffered a serious head injury and remains in a critical condition in hospital.
Two men arrested on Friday night – aged 42- and 20-years-old and also from Small Heath – have both been released on police bail until a date in July.
Investigating officer, Detective Inspector Stuart Kidd from West Midlands Police's Force CID, said: "There is no change in the condition of the young man who suffered serious injuries during the attack, he is still very poorly in hospital."
It's understood a fight broke out between two people just before 2.30pm on June 1 which led to others becoming involved in the disturbance.
No-one else was injured during the incident.
Police are still keen to hear from anyone with information or who may have witnessed the fight; they can contact the Force CID in Birmingham by dialling 101, or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The so called Mexican Grill. My experience at Chipotle has been always good. Good service and all of that good stuff. Its good Mexican American Food, but if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, then Chipotle is not for you. They have good burittos that can feed a hungry man! They are huge! But my only critique would be that they are super expensive and not that authentic.

About Wakatobi
Wakatobi Dive Resort is located in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia which is in Southeast Asia. Access from Europe or the US is easy with many airlines offering flights to one of the major cities in Asia and on to Denpasar, Bali which is the gateway (and most amazingly beautiful stopover on the way) to Wakatobi. You can read the fabulous guest testimonials here.
Garden Bungalow
These very comfortable bungalows are located slightly behind and in-between the front-row Beach Bungalows amidst beautiful palm trees and other tropical plants. Available both on the south and west section of the Resort. Some garden bungalows even have ocean view.
Beach Bungalow
Front row with an ocean view on the south beach. See the fish jump, hear the gentle waves and listen to the birds - all while seated on the balcony or in one of the comfortable lounge chairs in front of your bungalow. The ones on the south end of the resort are the ones with the best breeze from the ocean and is an excellent choice for those who prefer to enjoy a holiday in the tropics without the use of air conditioning (this applies primarily during the mid-year "summer" months).
Select Beach Bungalow
The Select Beach Bungalows are located directly on the beach north of the jetty. They're simply gorgeous! They all have huge front porches with comfortable lounge beds / cushions and a stunning views. They also have indoor bathrooms and huge Asian spa-style outdoor showers.
Wakatobi in November
Another perfect Wakatobi sunset.

jeanphilippedrouin78 wrote:I am asking you people, where is the line between best practice to protect the map and abusive locking that is anti-comunity?
It seems that in my area someone crossed that line and it doesn't help anyone stuck with a lot of navigation errors.
Jean: That would be me you are talking about. And I AM NOT abusing the locking thing. AND I DON'T offer to answer in 24 hrs or 48 hrs or any time. I answer when I answer. If it's that serious then contact support or make a post and it will be fixed.
I don't lock many roads, intentionally. Since I am a level 5 when I do an edit I trump all except level 6, so if a level 2 locked it and I come along and make a correction, whether it is correct or not and I don't notice it has been locked, it stays locked to level 4 and down. There is one of those "locking people" who locks just about every road he edits, we'll go with just "Joe".
I now realize this and am fairly conscious about making sure only the appropriate roads are locked.
But it doesn't show what the previous editor was, so if I miss something that's wrong if I do an edit, it's me getting thrown under the bus. I will take it so bring it on.....lol!! I will fix any issue that I made or anyone else did, so just pm me and I will fix it, I may not pm you back though, so don't be offended.
Also I do one hell of a lot of editing and mistakes happen, trust me it will happen to you too. I once put 10 km worth of the 417 backwards, boy did I hear about that. I corrected it, said sorry and moved on.
I also believe any edit I made in the past, all the way down to level 1, is now locked at level 5. This kinda sucks because I made some errors along the learning path that I have realized since, unless they are already fixed.
One thing I don't like is whoever is reporting errors, some have been somewhat rude. They were directed at "level 5" and I am the only level 5 in the area. Please don't make it personal, I do this as a hobby and that makes it not fun. It doesn't matter how wrong or stupid the mistake was.

A pair of lifelong rival British brothers lead cavalry units against each other in the final bloody months of the American Revolution.
Project collaboration: Closed
Full synopsis
Follow this project
William Seaton, the younger son of a recently deceased British Earl, is forced into the priesthood by Robert, his vindictive older brother to permanently remove him from Katherine, an Irish chilhood friend the older brother secretly covets.
The Vatican trains William as a Maltese Knight. By the time he reaches his mid 20s, a now seasoned battle veteran, William departs the priesthood to reunite with Katherine. Robert learns of William's return and suceeds in abducting Katherine to the Virginia colony during the winter of 1781.
William, onboard a French Privateer, pursues Katherine to Virginia, escaping from British capture along with a French Cavalier, during the Battle of Cape Henry. While on the run William joins the Continental Cavalry under the command of the Legendary Lighthorse Harry Lee.
William leads raids against Roberts men, initially to recapture Katherine, but discovers the freedom he seeks for himself and Katherine lies in America.
1781 culminates in a battle that ushers in the final Battle of Yorktown; thus, opening the way for another action packed sequel film.
1781 is has strong non stop action and portrays the Revolutionary forfathers as the daring, youthful men they were during the era of the War for Independence, as opposed to the elderly men so often seen in their later portraits.

Creative Notes:
1781 is a well researched script that honors historical accuracy without compromising action and adventure. Fictional characters are interwoven with actual events and legendary historical figures from the American Revolution. During research, I studied the memoirs of Lighthorse Harry Lee & Banastare Tarleton, as well as made trips to Colonial Williamsburg & Yorktown, VA to consult experts.

The Anatomy of Melancholy
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
Related e |
Featured: |
The Anatomy of Melancholy (Full title The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is: With all the Kinds, Causes, Symptomes, Prognostickes, and Several Cures of it. In Three Maine Partitions with their several Sections, Members, and Subsections. Philosophically, Historically, Opened and Cut up.) is a book by Robert Burton, first published in 1621.
Burton wrote The Anatomy of Melancholy largely to write himself out of being a lifelong sufferer from depression. As he described his condition in the preface "Democritus Junior to the Reader,"
- "for I had gravidum cor, foetum caput [a heavy heart, and hatchling in my head], a kind of imposthume in my head, which I was very desirous to be unladen of."
Therefore, the treatise itself was intended as treatment. Again, from the preface:
- "I write of melancholy, by being busy to avoid melancholy. There is no greater cause of melancholy than idleness, no better cure than business."
However, this sentence may also be interpreted ironically, as Burton is citing a well-known adage of the time. Indeed, the entire preface is quite satirical in nature — at one point Burton pretends to warn melancholy people to avoid his book for fear of exacerbating their symptoms:
- "Yet one caution let me give by the way to my present or future reader, who is actually melancholy, that he read not the symptoms or prognostics in the following tract, lest by applying that which he reads to himself, aggravating, appropriating things generally spoken to his own person (as melancholy men for the most part do), he trouble or hurt himself, and get in conclusion more harm than good."
The parenthetical aside is delightfully tongue-in-cheek.
The work, published under the pseudonym Democritus Junior in 1621, was quite popular. In the words of Thomas Warton:
- "the author's variety of learning, his quotations from rare and curious books, his pedantry sparkling with rude wit and shapeless elegance ... have rendered it a repertory of amusement and information".
Later authors sometimes drew from the work without acknowledgment (such accusations were leveled at Laurence Sterne's book Tristram Shandy). Samuel Johnson considered it one of his favorite books. (He said of it that it "was the only book that ever took him out of bed two hours sooner than he wished to rise".) [Boswell, Life of Johnson]. Apart from The Anatomy of Melancholy Burton's only other published work is Philosophaster, a satirical Latin comedy.

So guess who has a brand new fashion modeling gig? Zac Efron. Yes, Mr. "High School Musical" himself is the new face of John John Denim, and his first ad campaign for the brand is kinda funny in that "this-isn't-meant-to-be-funny-but-it-so-is" way. Basically, Efron plays a James Dean-type rebel-without-a-cause who hangs out in parking lots wearing leather vests. Oh, and girls fawn all over him.
When I first saw the pictures of Efron in a muscle tank and tight jeans lounging in the bed of a truck with a harem of girls I thought, what year is this? Or rather, what decade is this? Efron, staring at the camera with crazy serious bedroom eyes, looks like something straight out of a 1999 Enrique Iglesias music video. It is 2012, right?

Don't get me wrong -- I love Efron and applaud lesser-known label John John Denim for scoring a pretty big celeb for their campaign … but it just seems
