Cash is still king in the world of gaming. Despite occasional flirtations with electronic transactions, the gaming sector in general has remained faithful to cash, which is favoured by the majority of its customers.
The gaming market is expanding in many countries due to liberalisation of gambling environments. Gaming operators are looking for more centralised in-house solutions for cash processing and settlement – solutions to make the cash handling process as cost-effective and streamlined as possible. The vending segment, following the general trend towards self-service, is also experiencing steady growth.
This sector has perhaps the most diverse range of applications and uses for cash processing systems. From small sea-front arcades and family amusement centres to large casinos, cash processing is a critical area of business.
SUZOHAPP offers a wide range of reliable cash processing solutions for the diverse capacity and performance requirements of customers in the gaming and vending sector covering both coin processing and banknote handling.
The processing of large volumes of notes and coins is complex, costly and time-consuming, which is why an increasing number of banks, major retailers and other handlers of cash in bulk are outsourcing the task to CIT companies.
Big benefits for bulk cash operations These companies handle the management of the entire cash loop: collection, counting, packaging, consolidation, storage and distribution. CIT companies have created integrated networks for CIT collection and cash processing. At the hub of the system are cash centres, which are looking for the best large-scale processing solutions to maximise operational efficiency and minimise unit costs.
Integrate and gain more SCAN COIN's cash centre solutions are based on a full range of hardware, software and technical consultant services. We have many years experience of cooperating with cash centres to heighten the efficiency and control of cash processing and management. We not only deliver productivity-enhancing machines and equipment for the counting, sorting and packaging stages, but also offer expertise in the integration of all aspects of cash centre operations – a crucial element in gaining a competitive edge.
The self-service banking trend is growing steadily in Europe and other parts of the world. Self-service machines enable banks and credit unions to handle cash more cost-effectively and to reassign bank staff to a more profitable advisory role. And self-service is also a competitive weapon for banks, attracting customers with the greater convenience of lobby services that offer extended opening hours. CDS, cash deposit systems are part of the self-service revolution.
The bank lobby of today In recent years, the bank lobby has become the self-service cash transaction centre of many bank branches, offering services that often include CDS (Cash Deposit systems) for depositing notes and coins, ATMs for cash dispensing, information terminals, Internet access, coin roll dispensers and foreign exchange machines. At its most efficient, the self-service banking area creates a cash-in, cash-out loop with ATMs dispensing notes and CDS machines taking in notes and/or coins.

50% of UK households are ready to cash their coins.
In the United Kingdom the average household has £27 of saved coins. A survey shows that 50% of the population would use a coin deposit machine to process them if available locally.Averaging €50 per transaction in IrelandAn Irish company owns and manages 60 SCAN COIN coin deposit systems at retail locations countrywide and is enjoying profits from the more than €40 million saved in loose change in Irish households. Their retail customers benefit from an extra in-store sales the service generates, especially when the company's own studies show that the average coin transaction is from €50 and up.Cashing in across the USIn the US, a popular national grocery chain has installed SCAN COIN coin deposit systems at more than 1,500 outlets. The service has been very popular with customers since its inception in 2003, and is considered a profit centre for the company.
No matter what country you come from - don't you agree that it would be nice to know a spot where you could get rid of this sometimes heavy load - and get surprised how high the value really is?
During the last years the retail industry have been facing new challenges in order to augment the in-store recirculation of cash. Many retailers have realized that there are benefits of re-using the cash without having to purchace these servicese from for instance CIT companies. However, this demands secure solutions that are easy to use for everyone.
The negaitve trend in some markets with more and more robberies also force many retailers to think in new terms when it comes to the in-store cash handling. Security for the staff is a key factor, but of course also to create a positive experience around the visit and purchase in the store for the customer.
SCAN COIN has several solutions aimed for retail. What about CoinCasher™ that helps collect spare coins and stimulates the customer to buy in your store? Or the RCS concept that eliminates the manual back-office handling to prepare and verify the tills? And not the least - CashComplete® - the solution that provides a completely closed cash loop in the store.
Drivers in many countries use cash deposit systems as a point where they can deliver the day's cash takings. Giving drivers access to a cash deposit machine in close proximity has reduced security risks and also released staff from cash-counting duties. Increasingly, bus and train operators are looking for driver deposit solutions that can offer more than cash processing functions. Ideally, they want solutions that can become part of a network to help them gather and coordinate important business data.

The compatibility mode isn't good enough when we are talking about a system that runs the company.
I too can appreciate the fact that there are people who have that "philosophical opposition" to MS. That is a different story than trashing Windows 8.1. I haven't installed the update yet but plan to soon. I didn't give Windows 8 a try until 8.1. I have it acting pretty much like windows 7, which is how I like it. So far I am pleased with it. I think I said this before but pushing the latest version of IE is a mistake. There is a work around for that though. Use a different browser.
That was my first reaction to Windows 8 but I have changed my mind. Windows ME was a flop. 8 is nowhere close to that. MS is finally fixing issues and I give them credit. I think people are hung up on the fact that these issues shouldn't have been issues if MS just listened to its users in the first place. The fact is they are listening now. I'm curious how many people that trash windows 8 have actually tried it.

The NTDEV, NTFSD, WINDBG, and NTTALK Lists
Looking for peer support for developing Windows system software? OSR hosts four important lists that you should be aware of. Why do we do it? Well, we started out by benefiting from posts in the Compuserve forums years ago...we're just trying to keep that spirit alive today.
NTDEV -- Windows System Software Developers List
This list is dedicated to the development of drivers for the Windows family of operating systems. Looking for Win32 or user-mode peer support? Not here. But if you've got a design, implementation or support issue with a Windows kernel-mode driver, this is the place to be. Inhabited by newbies, seasoned veterans, and even the Microsoft developers... Take the opportunity to learn from your peers to get over that particular development hump.
NTFSD -- Windows File System Developers List
Developing file systems or file system filter drivers? You need to be intimately familiar with the topics discussed on this list. Really...you can't afford not to partake of the information that is exchanged in this list.
WINDBG -- Windows Debugger Users List
Having trouble debugging a particularly thorny issue?? Do you find it impossible to make WinDbg do what you want?? This is the list for your issues.
NTTALK -- Extended Discussions About System Software (particularly Windows)
Hate/Love some feature in the Windows I/O subsystem??? Think Linux does it better/worse? Want to hold forth on why nobody ever will (or perhaps should) be able to write drivers in C#?? Why C++ is a plague on human kind?? This is the list for you. Free-flowing, rambling, sometimes even intelligent and thought provoking... that's what you'll find on NTTALK.

Kansas City completes twinbill sweep of SoxThe Sports Xchange
April 22. 2013 12:50AM
BOSTON - Kansas City's Lorenzo Cain drew a bases-loaded walk on four pitches with two outs in the 10th inning Sunday night, and the Royals completed a doubleheader sweep of the Boston Red Sox with a 5-4 win.
The Royals won 4-2 in the afternoon game at Fenway Park, snapping the Red Sox's seven-game winning streak.
After striking out pinch hitter Miguel Tejada looking, Red Sox left-hander Andrew Miller (0-1) gave up a single to Alex Gordon, then walked Alcides Escobar. Billy Butler struck out before Eric Hosmer singled to load the bases. Miller then walked Cain, giving the Royals what proved to be the game-winning run.
Kelvin Herrera (2-2) pitched two scoreless innings, giving up a hit and one intentional walk with three strikeouts.
Greg Holland struck out the side in the 10th inning to earn his fourth save.
Royals right-hander Jeremy Guthrie went six innings, giving up four runs on eight hits, including one home run, and four walks with two strikeouts.
Red Sox right-hander Allen Webster started in his major league debut. He went six innings, giving up three runs (two earned), on five hits, including two home runs, and a walk with five strikeouts.
Boston first baseman Mark Napoli went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a run, falling a triple shy of the cycle.
In the bottom of the fifth, with Daniel Nava on second and Dustin Pedroia on first, Napoli's third hit of the game, a single to center, drove in Nava, giving the Red Sox a 4-3 lead.
Webster got off to a rocky start. Gordon greeted him with a first-pitch double off the wall in left field. Gordon scored when the next batter, Escobar, hit an infield single, with shortstop Pedro Ciriaco committing a throwing error. However, Webster settled down and retired the next three batters.
The Red Sox got two runs in the second when Napoli led off against Guthrie with his third home run of the season. Jarrod Saltalamacchia followed with a walk, and he scored on Mike Carp's one-out double. Boston added a run in the third when Jacoby Ellsbury doubled and scored on Pedroia's single.
The Royals tied the score in the fifth on solo home runs by George Kottaras, his first hit of the season, and Gordon, his first homer of the season.
Royals 4, Red Sox 2
In the opener, Ervin Santana picked up the win, improving to 2-1. He went seven innings, giving up two runs and six hits with no walks and seven strikeouts.
He is the first pitcher to hold the Sox to two or fewer runs without allowing a walk since Tampa Bay's David Price did so on Sept. 25, 2012.
"It took him two innings to get settled in, then he was really rolling from that point on," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Struggled with his slider a little bit early, but then it got locked in pretty good and did a real great job."
After a leadoff single by Will Middlebrooks in the second inning, Santana retired 17 of the final 18 batters he faced. David Ortiz had Boston's only hit in that stretch with a sixth-inning double.
"I was leaving a couple of pitches up in the first inning and after that I settled down," Santana said. "It's building a little bit. I feel comfortable every time I take the mound and I have confidence."
Ryan Dempster took the loss, falling to 0-2. He went seven innings, giving up four runs and six hits, including a home run, and three walks with eight strikeouts.
Kansas City scored first on Alcides Escobar's first-inning home run, his second homer of the season.
Boston went ahead in the bottom of the first when Nava, Pedroia and Ortiz hit consecutive one-out singles and Napoli's groundout drove in a run.
But the Royals responded with three runs in the fourth. Butler and Hosmer opened the inning with back-to-back singles. Butler scored on Cain's double. After Dempster struck out Mike Moustakas and Jeff Francoeur, Salvador's Perez single to center scored Hosmer and Cain, giving the Royals a 4-2 lead.

The original Sparkman & Stephens logo was in place from the inception of the company in 1929 until about 1980. It was the full company name spelled out in a classical font with a much smaller incorporated below. It was then company policy to always spell out the company name fully (and never use simply S&S). Here it is.
When Rod and then Olin Stephens retired in 1980 the younger management wanted to make their mark on the company and hired a marketing firm who developed the S&S logo that was in use for many years.
In 2004 a special 75th Anniversary logo was used with signal flags signifying "75".
In 2008 we went back to our roots and made it a policy to spell out the entire company name, incorporating it with the S&S logo.
We then felt that the name along with the logo with initials was redundant and that S&S was such a common logo in general that we should do something unique. In the marine industry alone we have S&S Fabrics and S&S Propeller to name but just two similar logos. Wouldn't we be better off using a universal maritime symbol, the anchor, so that a recipient of a letter or email would immediately know we were a marine related business? In addition we looked back to Rod and Olin's personal signal flag and out of respect inserted their seahorse into the shank of the anchor. Here's their signal flag.
The new and current logo was born.
The new and current logo was born.
And we have a variant (used when appropriate).

Editor's note: We're all pretty big fans of Android around here, but lately even the Android and Me staff has been impressed with the persistence of a certain superfan. If you follow our comments, you know who I'm talking about: a Mr. Richard Yarrell. Richard has been a non-stop force in our comments for months now. And as a community-powered blog, from time to time we like to welcome passionate Android voices to step up and share their experiences.
I want to first congratulate all who purchased the EVO 3D. This is honestly a great device to have. I won't discuss the specs of the device in this review; by now, everyone already knows what they are. What I will say is that Sprint's overall commitment to providing the best for their customers should be applauded most.
What I feel is the best feature of the EVO 3D
I want to take this time to highlight what I feel is the best feature of the EVO 3D: the battery life. I know this subject has always been a major Android issue. Previous EVO 4G owners were all aware of all the battery related issues we had with that device. Based on that experience, one year later, we all should know exactly what we need to do to maximize the usage of our device's battery on a daily basis.
The EVO 3D comes with a native battery management application that can be controlled by the user, using the pull-down notifications shade. There you will see the "Quick Setting" menu. In that area , you can control your mobile internet (toggle between 3G and 4G), as well as GPS and Bluetooth 3.0. You can access all this with just one tap. A check mark will appear, and you will see a notification that says "On." You will also find an "All Settings" tab and "Task Manager" in this area. You can close running processes, which will save you memory battery life as the day progresses. This task killer is a native application from HTC, which prevents you from downloading any task killers from the Android market. (I have always hated these and have never used them on any of my Android devices). Since that task killer is native, it is optimized for the EVO 3D and helps the device immensely from a battery standpoint.
Under "Settings," you will also see the green battery symbol. When you tap on that area, you will find a "Power Saver Efficiency" mode that, if turned on, will give you an opportunity to select a certain percentage to totally control your device. Customizing other certain areas, as selected by the user, will further allow better use of the battery. I leave mine placed on 30%. This way, I can receive another 4 to 8 hours of use when this mode kicks in. In my mind, HTC has gone the extra mile to fully ensure battery life is far better than what EVO 4G owners are used to.
Another very desirable aspect of this device is located under "Settings." When you go to "SD and Phone Storage," you will find a selection that will say "Make More Room." When you tap that area, you will find two selections. One choice gives you the chance to clean the cache on rarely used applications, and the other section allows you to clean the cache on all applications. Whichever selection you tap, you will find the opportunity to "Move All Applications" to your installed SD card. And I do mean all applications can be moved to the SD card–even carrier related applications. With this choice the user can send every application to their SD card, which will free up all of the internal memory for whatever you choose to store on the device. This feature has never been discussed or shown on video. This feature is very valuable in itself.
When you select "Move to SD Card," all the applications that are available to be moved will appear. When you check an application and hit "Next," the application goes straight to the SD card. Special Note: There is a chance the user might get a message stating that the application can't be moved to SD. Back out of that message and reselect the application. It will move to the SD card on the second attempt. Why does it work that way? I'm not sure. But it works in that manner.
Let's discuss how I feel about the design of the EVO 3D
Since purchase, I have had enough time to take a real good look at the design of the EVO 3D in comparison to my past EVO 4G. I feel the build quality of the EVO 3D is much stronger. Obviously, one of the first visible improvements with the HTC EVO 3D is the higher resolution 4.3" qHd (540 x 960) Super LCD display that it's packing. Compared to the one gracing the EVO 4G, this one is indeed far better with sharper details, iridescent color production and high contrast. Though it does seem to wash out at extreme viewing angles, all in all this display is beautiful. In my mind you can clearly tell it's from the EVO family because of the circular rings surrounding each capacitive touch Android button. Seeing that they're placed close to the bottom edge, we tend to accidentally hit the "Search" and "Home" buttons more frequently than others. I wouldn't want it any other way for the EVO brand.
Talking about the camera in the rear of the device
I spent this past holiday weekend taking plenty of pictures in 2D and 3D, but did not complete any videos. I love the clarity of the 2D photos, as well as the depth of all the 3D pictures that were taken. My device was a show stopper. People gathered around my phone. Dozens of people with iPhone 4 were simply amazed at the 3D device and really liked the photos. I feel another opportunity to fully enjoy this device is the featured dual 5-megapixel auto-focus 3D camera with dual LED flash. In tandem, it snaps stereoscopic 3D stills and videos, making it unique versus the competition. Its parallax barrier overlay offers a 3D viewing experience without the aid of any glasses. All in all, I am very satisfied with the camera options and the clarity of all photos taken. It's better than the EVO 4G in my mind. But that's probably open to debate, which is fine with me.
I simply love the Interface and Functionality of the EVO 3D
What more can be said about HTC SENSE 3.0? It is simply a pleasure to see this on the EVO 3D. In my mind, HTC saved the best for the Sensation and the EVO 3D. The overall daily experience of HTC sense is something to behold. There is plenty to add to your device and plenty to experience, which adds plenty of flare and a lot of fun to the overall user experience. Much like some of its contemporaries, the HTC EVO 3D features a well equipped 1.2GHz dual-core asynchronous Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8660 processor with 1GB of RAM and an Adreno 220 GPU. In my mind, the higher amount of RAM is what assures the fluidity and overall snappiness of the device. Trust me, there is so much going on here with just one core. I really don't believe I have used my EVO 3D, as of this written review, to it's fullest potential yet. I also think that, with the various 3D capabilities of the handset, extra RAM keeps things very consistent in the speed department without sacrificing performance. Truthfully, the handset executes everything effortlessly with no issues regarding responsiveness and speed. Even with a heavy, graphically-intense live wallpaper activated in the background, the HTC EVO 3D is still able to casually navigate all 7 home screens in a snap. It should be a crime. I love looking at all the transition effects on the device. And it comes with Gingerbread 2.3.3 straight out the box. I'm happy with that, but I privately feel 2.3.4 should've been released instead. But since not many devices will launch new with Gingerbread, I'll make the best of this.
Browser/Music/Multimedia on the EVO 3D:
The strength of the EVO 3D is the internet browsing and multimedia. This device is extremely fast from a browser standpoint. I have noticed it seems quicker than the EVO 4G, and it appears that some work may have been done on the browser. The overall 4G connectivity on the EVO 3D is exceptionally fast here in my area of New York City. While 3G seems slow, what I have realized is the connection to 3G has been made much faster on the EVO 3D than the EVO 4G, which always took a while to connect for some reason. Compared to the Nexus S 4G and the EVO 4G (connected over 4G not Wifi), the EVO 3D stomps (and bitch slaps) them both. The stock HTC music application has been jazzed up with cover flow and SRS equalizer. It's just a better user experience and interface. The music player is crisper than the EVO 4G. I had downloaded Google Music initially, but have since decided to uninstall Google Music in favor of HTC's native music application. Content was king on my past EVO 4G and that tradition has been passed down to my EVO 3D. I have Netflix on my EVO 3D, as well as the Flashlight app and all the content related applications: twit.tv, mediafly, mlb.com, Cnet TV, androidcentral,tv.com, Skype Video Chat, Yahoo! Messenger, Revision 3, Geek Beat RV, Qik Video Chat, XDA developer, Stictcher, Tune-in radio, Pulse News, Google News. It just never ends on my device. The EVO 3D is running and running strong.
Preloaded Applications on the EVO 3D
I personally have enjoyed the Spiderman game immensely. The Green Hornet movie was fine, but I have since downloaded other movies for my enjoyment. The EVO 3D comes with the new and redesigned Sprint TV/Movies application, Sprint Zone, the newSprint Mobile and the new Sprint Radio–all applications absent from the EVO 4G that offer decent content the EVO 3D can take advantage of. All the lovely Google applications are present, as well as the new Google Plus/Huddle applications, which I am proud to now be a part of. You will also see Sprint Nascar, Amazon Mp3, Blockbuster, Qik Video and the new Polaris Office Suite (a great addition), as well as Media Share. All in all, a very nice compliment of applications plus whatever else you download from the Android market and other third party places.
The one bug I have about the EVO 3D
One of the most undesirable things about the EVO 3D is speaker phone volume. This is something that is puzzling to say the least. With headphones the sound quality is very good. You can even select the SRS to kick in, and a great pair of headphones will sound great at all times. Without the headphones the speaker volume is very low, something disappointing for me. But it's not a deal breaker. In the world of Android there are equalizers that can be used or sound enhancers that can be downloaded from the market to better enhance the quality of the speaker.
Overall Conclusion
All in all, this is an exceptional device. It's something special for the EVO brand on Sprint, and we should all rejoice in happiness. As my daily driver, what I appreciate most is the speed and overall crispness of this device. Media content is amazing, web browsing is a total joy. And gaming (which I was never big on with the EVO 4G) is something totally different on the EVO 3D. The games I have installed are Homerun Battle HD, 3D Bowling, 3D Finger Bowl, 3D Basketball, Asphalt 6, Let's Golf 2 3D, Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja. I will be looking for other games as the opportunities arise. You will be very surprised by this device on a daily basis, and you can rest assured that this device will receive all the support necessary, just as the EVO 4G has. Updates from HTC will be a premium–something that other manufacturers and carriers have not lived up to. I am proud to be an EVO 3D owner and will be looking forward to the next iteration of EVO in 2012. You can bank on that.

public function withinRadius($radius) { ... $this->getDbCriteria()->mergeWith(array( 'select'=>array(new CDbExpression("fn_distance_cosine({$user->lat},{$user->lng},listing.lat,listing.lng) as distance")), 'with'=>'listing', 'order'=>'distance ASC', 'condition'=>"listing.lat BETWEEN {$min_lat} AND {$max_lat} AND listing.lng BETWEEN {$min_lng} AND {$max_lng}", 'having'=>"distance <= {$radius}", )); return $this; }
I've defined distance as a variable within the category_listing model:
public $distance;
And now I can call the following:
$categoryListings = EldCategoryListing::model()->withinRadius(25)->findAllByAttributes(array('category_id'=>$id));
But the problem is, I can't access $distance as a variable. $categoryListings[0]->distance is not set. I've also tried defining $distance as an attribute of listing, and calling $categoryListings[0]->listing->distance, and this doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong?

My girlfriend has two of the Diva version and are nice and soft. I purchased this one thinking it would be the same but no it's not. It's still a little on the firm side. Just because I don't want to go through the hassle of returning from the USA I'm going to keep it. Maybe sell it on ebay.
Ive only had this seat for 1 month and have only used it on my road bike that is mated with my indoor trainer. That being said this seat is everything I was looking for! Comfort on the rear end where you need it with out padded shorts! No pain noticed in the "man area" while riding for 90 minutes! I gave it 4 stars because I haven't been on it longer than 90 minutes or out on the road. But I would recommend this seat to any rider! Also I am 37 yr old male & weigh 200 pounds.
Excellent quality saddle that feels a little firm at first but provides great support and comfort over the long haul. The low price made it hard to resist and I'll probably buy another for the mountain bike.
A friend recommended this seat to me and I found it comfortable right from the start. It has good padding without being to large and soft. I liked it so much I bought two more for my other bikes as well. Reasonable priced as well.
I am very happy with the saddle and the price. I had been using the SI lady gel flow saddle for years and found it one of the few I could ride for hours without excruciating pain. I am happier with this saddle as it is slightly narrower and longer and fits even better. Only drawback was the length of shipping time.

We're VideoTov & we'd like to introduce ourselves.
In a nutshell we make it possible for regular people to have access to professional video editing services.
VideoTov was founded by a kitesurfer & his family because they wanted to be out on the water instead of sitting in front of their computers editing their videos. Some people like the process of editing their own videos. Others just don't have the time and/or interest to invest in learning how to use the software to get really good results on their video editing.
Now there's a service where you upload your videos, highlight your favorite segments & a professional video editor puts it all together with the nifty transitions, slow mo etc. You basically become the project manager delegating the editing grunt work to someone else.
We're looking for beta users at a special discounted price. For more on how it works click here http://www.videotov.com/extreme-sports-landing.php
You can check out sample videos here http://www.videotov.com/extreme-sports.php
We also work with family videos. http://www.videotov.com/family-and-events-videos.phpIf you're trying to think of that perfect gift for a family maybe a highlight reel of the kids over the past year, or finally getting that last vacation video edited. http://www.videotov.com/trips-and-outdoor-videos.php

Under-radar risk for obese youths
Reaching 'normal' weight can mask symptoms of serious eating disorders
For much of her young life, Deanna Badong overate. At mealtimes, she would often put as much on her plate as her parents, taking adult-size portions for her pea-size body. And as the youngest in a large family, other family members often spoiled her, constantly making sure she had enough on her plate.
By the time she hit middle school, she was significantly overweight -- a size large at a petite 5 feet tall.
She started visiting the Adolescent and Young Adult Clinic at the University of California San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital, where doctors put her on a strict diet and required her to exercise daily. On visits to the clinic, doctors would weigh her and discuss her progress. Badong, now 21, stuck to the regimen; the pounds began to melt away.
More InformationCommon eating disorders
Anorexia nervosa: People with anorexia attempt to maintain a weight that is far below average for their height or weight. There are two subtypes of the disorder. In the restricting type, the person greatly limits calories to reach their desired weight. In the binge-purge type, the person regularly binges on large amounts of food and then purges in conjunction with restrictive eating.
Bulimia nervosa: Those with bulimia regularly engage in excessive overeating, usually in secret, and then later attempt to undo the effects, either through purging or excessive exercise.
Binge eating disorder: People with binge eating disorder indulge in excessive amounts of food, often with a sense of lost control, but do not regularly attempt to compensate for their binge.
The progress was encouraging. Then she took it too far.
Six months into her weight loss program, her mother took her to UCSF's teen eating disorder clinic. She looked great -- she had slimmed down to what appeared to be a normal, healthy weight. But her body was starving.
"Somewhere along the line, I got a little obsessed with losing weight," she said.
A study published this fall in the journal Pediatrics found that obese adolescents are at significant risk for developing an eating disorder, yet because of their weight, symptoms often end up undetected and therefore untreated. It is a common scenario at Bay Area clinics.
"Kids are coming in looking normal, with a normal weight and normal body mass index, but they are starved. They look just like classical anorexia," said Andrea Garber, an associate professor of pediatrics at UCSF and an expert on adolescent eating disorders. "The problem is that often times they fly under the radar."
Dr. Sheila Cooperman, vice chairwoman of psychiatry at St. Vincent's Behavioral Health in Westport, agreed that those with obesity issue can be at high risk for eating disorders.
"We're aware that eating disorders are beginning younger and younger," she said. "What has been one trigger for starting an eating disorder is the wish to lose weight. It can get out of control."
Hitting a plateau
For Badong, now a premed student at Skyline College in San Bruno, the trouble started when her weight loss hit a plateau after a few months of her doctor-prescribed weight-loss program. A plateau in weight loss is typical, but she found it irksome.
"My doctors would be so happy with the results I was giving them, so I wanted to lose more," she said. "Slowly I became more and more obsessed with how to lose more." Badong started rigidly restricting what she ate and sometimes binged and purged, and the pounds continued to drop. In some ways, she said, her doctor-monitored diet taught her the behaviors of disordered eating -- things like precisely timing meals, avoiding certain foods and rigid portion control.
Eventually, her sister walked in on her throwing up in the bathroom. That's when her family decided to take her back to UCSF for eating disorder treatment.
"Even when I was very far into it and at my lightest weight, I was never underweight," she said.
In the Pediatrics study, scientists from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota found that 45 percent of the adolescents in their eating disorder clinic over the course of a year had a history of obesity.
The report looked at two teens who developed eating disorders while trying to lose weight, but whose disorders were not quickly identified despite regular check-ups and obvious malnutrition.
Other studies have found high prevalence of binge eating disorder among overweight and obese patients, including a 2001-2003 National Comorbidity Survey Replication, in which 40 percent of those who identified as having binge eating disorders were also obese.
At UCSF's children's hospital, said Dr. Sara Buckelew, director of the eating disorder program, doctors see a full range of eating disorders among overweight adolescents -- anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder.
Experts say several factors can encourage teens, in particular, to take healthy weight loss to an unhealthy level.
For one, teens trying to trim down often take things more literally than an adult under the same circumstances.
"They just tend to go overboard," said Garber. "Everything is concrete, so it becomes an all-or-nothing message. We would say a cookie can fit into a healthful diet, but for them it goes onto the list of forbidden foods."
Natalie Hoeffel, site director for the Renfrew Center in Greenwich, also said teens can take weight-loss efforts too far. Renfrew provides education and treatment for eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression and women's issues. As to whether they take the enterprise more seriously than adults "that is so individual," she said. "You can't make an across the board generalizations. But teens may be susceptible because there's so much pressure on them."
Often, as Badong experienced, the encouragement a young person receives once they start to lose weight can make them take it too far.
"People start losing weight and then they get positive reinforcement, from friends, family and health care providers," said Dr. Neville Golden, who specializes in adolescent eating disorders at Stanford.
The key, he said, is to talk to teens about overall health rather than just weight.
While the majority of teens with eating disorders were not formerly overweight, he said the issue points to an overall problem with the way weight is addressed in adolescents.
"Obesity prevention done right should not predispose to eating disorders," he said.
For Badong, weight loss was really trading one unhealthy habit for another. She struggled with her eating disorder on and off throughout high school. While she was never technically underweight, the disorder wreaked havoc on her body, giving her an arrhythmia, among other things.
She's been "behavior free" -- no binging, purging, or starving herself - for four years. She's now both healthy and at a healthy weight, but in many ways the experience of getting there is what taught her to scrutinize her body so intensely.
"I hated my body back then," she said. "Now, I love it, so I take care of it. It's all about balance."

Problem with PHP 5.3 should be resolved, installation wizard works smoother. We added multi-lingual content and RBAC with dynamic user roles.
Also, no more encrypted file and the community version is available in zip format for download with GNU GPL license .
I was very happy to see you're now releasing this project under a real open-source license.
But under the GPL license, if I make modifications to the CMS itself, I have to release the changed source code under GPL as well. GPL is dodgy in this area, but technically, you could even demand that any website built using this CMS has to be released with full source code under GPL to the public.
I don't think that's what you want, but under GPL, you can legally demand of anyone building a solution with this CMS, that they release the source code under GPL - that's why it's commonly referred to as a "share-alike" license.
Under GPL, I can only evaluate this CMS - I can't start building solutions for clients, since I would risk putting them (or me, or my employer) in legal trouble. I don't think GPL is a suitable license for "library" type products, unless you're going to dual-license this product, with an alternative paid license, under different terms.
If that's not what you plan to do, perhaps you should consider relicensing under LGPL, which permits people to build closed-source solutions with your library, without these restrictions.
The bottom line is that no one is going to build commercial websites under a share-alike license - with the possible exception of sites like Wikipedia ;-)

FOR THEIR DATE, Steven and Bea, both 26, attended a Brooklyn Nets game as VIPs at the brand new Barclays Center. The Nets mascot BrooklyKnight greeted them with gifts (T-shirts), and at halftime, they lounged in the Calvin Klein Courtside Club among celebrities. After the Nets won, did either Bea or Steve score with each other?
He said:
Bea looked great in person. For some reason, her hair stood out to me. She has really nice hair.
We were ushered into the VIP lounge area at Barclays where we had drinks and dessert. Our seats were amazing. The team mascot came up to us in the stands and gave us Brooklyn Nets T-shirts, which was awesome.
Bea was confident and spoke with ease. She also had a lot of positive energy. She ordered a beer instead of a cocktail, which was impressive. She asked for a piece of my cheesecake after taking some. I laughed at that one.
I almost forgot to get Bea's number, for which she chided me, but she is interesting. Of course I'd like to see her again, that's why I got her number.
She said:
Steven was laid back. I liked his look. He cares about self-presentation. The date was pretty relaxed, but his focus was more on what was around. Although, we were at a basketball game, so there were many things going on.
Steve can pick up a conversation and go with it. When he got comfortable, he showed his quirky side and different fun voices/characters.
The VIP area in the Barclays Center is very nice — definitely a different experience than a normal basketball game.
Steven tried to act like he forgot to ask for my number. But he did and I gave it to him. He also asked me to go to Target after we left the game. I thought it was funny, but, you know, that's like a 10th date sort of thing, so we'll see what happens.

Acting on behalf of TAC, the AIDS Law Project (ALP) lodged a complaint with the Competition Commission of South Africa in late 2007 alleging that MSD (Pty) Ltd – the South African subsidiary of multinational drug company Merck – was unlawfully refusing to license the antiretroviral (ARV) medicine efavirenz (EFV) on reasonable terms. ("TAC complains to the Competition Commission about the anti-competitive conduct of the world's largest pharmaceutical company" at http://www.tac.org.za/community/node/2127.) Today, TAC is pleased to announce that MSD is no longer acting in an anticompetitive way, paving the way for the market entry of a wide range of affordable EFV products.
According to the ALP's records and recent correspondence from the Commission, MSD has –
Stand-alone products include various dosages of EFV tablets sold separately. Co-packaged products include EFV sold in the same single pack – often in the form of a blister – with other ARV medicines that are ordinarily prescribed with EFV. Co-formulated products include EFV sold as part of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) product, which may combine two or more different ARV medicines in a single tablet. FDCs (and co-packaged products to a lesser extent) are widely recognised to improve adherence to ARV and other chronic treatments.
In practical terms, this means that there are now a sufficient number of competitors to ensure that EFV prices are kept as low as is reasonably possible. It also means that the public sector, which until relatively recently was paying 64 cents in every rand spent on first-line ARV treatments for EFV alone, can now choose to procure from up to five suppliers. This fact also means that we no longer have concerns regarding the sustainability of ex-manufacturer supply.
Importantly, the generic licensees are now in a position to sell the following forms of EFV if and when they are registered:
To date, the Medicines Control Council (MCC) has registered a number of stand-alone generic EFV products. The ALP has been advised, however, that a number of co-packaged products containing EFV are already in the registration queue, and that generic FDC products are likely to be brought to market in the foreseeable future.
With the single exception of the TDF/FTC/EFV combination (MSD's Atripla, which is still pending registration in South Africa), none of the co-packaged and co-formulated products would have been able to be placed on the South African market. This is for the following three reasons:
In contrast, three of the four licensees have secured licensing agreements to bring generic 3TC products to market. ("Competition Commission Settlement Agreements Secure Access to Affordable Life-Saving Antiretroviral Medicines" at http://www.tac.org.za/newsletter/2003/ns10_12_2003.htm.) AZT is no longer under patent protection in South Africa, whereas TDF was never patented in this country. In addition, the patents on d4T, ddI, and FTC are not enforced in the country. In short, EFV was the only ARV amongst those already discussed in respect of which a patent barrier prevented much-needed combination products from being sold in South Africa.
When TAC and the ALP first started to engage MSD on this issue as far back as May 2002, the company sold a year's supply of EFV for one adult for US$500. That price has dropped significantly. Today, MSD's best international price for a year's supply is US$237.25. In contrast, the best international price for a generic equivalent of proven quality, safety and efficacy is US$150. In the South African private sector, MSD's EFV sells for R166.90 (VAT inclusive) for a 30 days' supply. In contrast, the cheapest registered generic equivalent sells for R136.80. These prices are expected to drop even further.
Price differentials in respect of FDCs are even greater. MSD has committed to sell Atripla at US$613.20 per patient per year. In contrast, the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI) has managed to secure a commitment from a reputable Indian company to bring generic TDF/FTC/EFV to market for only US$349 per patient per year. The same company has also committed to bringing generic TDF/3TC/EFV – which is considered as therapeutically equivalent to the FTC version of the FDC – for US$299 per patient per year. South Africa is entitled to purchase drugs through CHAI.

- Monica H said...
They look so tender and flaky!
I just had a thought...you said that if you were to slather cheese on them the cracker would probably fall apart. I wonder if you could soften the cheese and pipe it on, then dab a bit of jam on that?
BTW, Always nice chatting with you on the telephone. I hope you get some rest and feel better soon.

They look great!! I really need to get a mezzaluna, or the tool you use? What is it called? Chopping parsley and such can be tiring... :)
Any recommendations would be great!
Thank you,

Yum! Like the idea of adding some cayenne.
Hope you can keep that cold at bay.

Rosemary is so stinking good in anything. It just fills up your mouth with such amazing flavors! I can only imagine how it tastes in these crackers. I bet that would be so good in a Caesar salad! I hope you're feeling better.

I was just craving cheese crackers--these look so buttery and good. I fear I would eat way too many of them. ;-)

These look absolutely delicious! Having them around for a nibble or two would be perfect--and we are enjoying lots of soup these days that would welcome them!
I'd say you've nicely gotten the hang of the new camera. I'm still working with mine but getting a little better with each "snap".
Still enjoying your adventures with Monica in SF!!

Me again! Re the spiced pumpkin balls, I serve them alongside the cranberry sauce. I use the smaller side of the baller and they are just right for popping in one's mouth whole!! What can I say, everything goes better with wine!!

Debbie - I confess to hoarding cheeses. In fact, my cheese drawer is always so full that it is exploding. However, a girl has got to be equipped with various amounts of cheese, right?
These crackers looks delightful and I'm sure that my family and I could make very quick work of them!
I hope that you and your family have a wonderful and tasty Thanksgiving!!

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—Western Michigan University's chapter of the Alpha Lambda Delta national honor society has won another prestigious Maintaining the Flame Award, it was announced in July.
The award was presented to 12 ALD chapters around the country in recognition of their continued excellence in programming, communications and service during the 2012-13 academic year. It is a follow-up to the honor society's highest accolade, the Order of the Torch Award, and rewards exceptional chapters that are so successful they are ineligible to compete for the torch award.
Up to five chapters receive torch awards each year, but recipients must wait four years before they can compete for the honor again. The Maintaining the Flame Award goes to chapters that continue their excellent work during this ineligibility period. WMU won its last two torch awards in 2007 and 2011, and was among the 11 schools receiving flame awards last year.
This year, the chapter was guided by co-presidents Monica Smith and Blair Williams, both of whom graduated in April. Smith is from Royal Oak, Mich., and majored in advertising and promotion as well as in graphic and printing science. Williams is from Marshall, Mich., and majored in accountancy. Advising the chapter this year were two Lee Honors College staff members, Anthony Helms of Kalamazoo, academic advisor, and Sue Oole of Portage, Mich., retired director of academic advising.
The 11 other schools that received this year's Maintaining the Flame Award are: California University of Pennsylvania, Georgia State University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Liberty University, Morningside College, Otterbein University, Purdue University, and the universities of Connecticut, Maryland, Oklahoma and Texas-Austin.
Alpha Lambda Delta
Alpha Lambda Delta is a national honor society for students in their first year of college. The organization recognizes and encourages academic excellence, as well as challenges members to make meaningful contributions to society. WMU's chapter was founded in 1962 and focuses on students who are looking for opportunities to contribute to the local community by volunteering in service projects.
For more information, contact Anthony Helms at email@example.com or (269) 387-3233.

Actor Nicholas Hoult struggled to stomach the fake brains he munched for new zombie movie Warm Bodies because it was made of soggy sponge cake.
The British star plays the role of R, who wanders around a post-apocalyptic America feeding off humans in Warm Bodies, and during one scene he kills Perry Kelvin, played by Dave Franco, and eats his brains.
Prop experts threw together several ingredients to make the fake brains, and Hoult admits the concoction wasn't very appetising.
He tells JustJared.com, "The human brain was like a peach, soft, wet, spongy sort of thing, and then bits of grapefruit and stuff. It was really, really rough. And there was one take where I was lashing at Dave Franco's head, they used a dummy obviously, they couldn't use his real head unfortunately.
"But then I remember one take where the dummy's hair was kind of getting ripped out by my hand, and then I had to pretend to eat the brains obviously. I remember taking out the brains and seeing all the dummy's hair in the brains, and I was like, 'Ugh!' I had to get the take so I was like, 'Just do it, do it!' So I munched on them and ate a lot of fake hair as well. It's great for your digestive system."

General Practice, Solo & Small Firm DivisionMagazine
Volume 17, Number 2
March 2000
This article provides a general overview of discovery strategies for information stored on computers.
A discovery strategy starts with the "data files" created by software applications-word-processed documents, reports generated by databases, spreadsheets, and e-mail. Discovery tactics that do not include the opposition's electronic data may overlook important evidence, primarily e-mail, which tends to be casual, candid, and careless. With the readily available data files, software can search through gigabytes of data for key words or phrases faster and more efficiently to find key documents than one could with hours of sifting done by an army of paralegals.
After the data files, there are the so-called "replicant data" or "file clones." Many software manufacturers build in automatic backup features that create and periodically save copies of a file being worked on by a user. File clones are useful because they create a copy or multiple copies of a document that users would not normally erase and are usually not aware of. On most networked systems, file clones are saved to the user's hard drive rather than to a centralized network file server. As a result, a document that was purged from the file server may still exist as a file clone on a user's hard drive.
There are also backup data to consider. Networks are normally backed up on a routine schedule. Network backups normally capture only the data saved on the centralized storage media (such as the file server) and do not capture all the data stored on individual users' hard drives. Reviewing a series of backup tapes can provide a wealth of information about how a particular matter progressed over several weeks or months. The difficulty with using backup data is that the media hold a large amount of data that is only loosely organized. Finding relevant data requires restoring a tape, viewing its directories, and searching within the directories for specific files. If the file is not on the tape, the process must be repeated for each backup tape.
Next consider the "residual data." This is information that appears to be gone but is still recoverable from the computer system. It includes "deleted" files still extant on hard drives and data existing in other system hardware such as buffer memories of printers, copiers, and fax machines. Until data are overwritten or wiped, they can be restored through use of undelete or restore commands. As deleted files may be overwritten when a new file is saved, new software is loaded, or unused space is wiped, the amount and type of residual data that can be recovered varies. In the case of a partially overwritten file, pieces of the file-file fragments-may also be recovered. Residual data can be buried in a number of other places on disks and drives. Forensic specialists have tools that allow them to examine the entirety of a drive for residual data.
Computers also contain information about the information they store. Every computer contains its own kind of audit trail. All files are date- and time-stamped, and networked computers contain computer logs about who, when, where, and how long a user was on the system. That information can be golden in the face of a witness' denial that he or she had knowledge of certain facts. Also recorded within a computer's own self-maintenance system may be information about who modified a file last and when the modification was made. An audit trail may indicate when and by whom files were downloaded to a particular location, copied, printed out, or purged. In addition to using a network's audit trail, an increasing number of companies are installing software designed to monitor employees' use of company computers. This software records information such as programs used, files accessed, e-mail sent and received, and Internet sites visited.
Networked computers allow a large number of people to share information and keep it all in one central place-the network server. Networks have their own logic that goes beyond any single workstation. For example, "access control" lists limit users' rights to access, view, and edit various files otherwise available on a network. Access rights often depend on the employee's particular job duties and position in the company, and different personnel may have different access rights. If litigation centers on a particular file or group of files, identifying who had access rights to the files and the type of access each person was allowed can establish data ownership/authenticity of files.
If prosecuting a case, a concern exists that the adversary is going to cover its tracks, and that defense counsel will raise arguments about how intrusive, overreaching, and burdensome it is to "shut down" a company's computers just so you can forage around in them, often in areas that are confidential or privileged. From the plaintiff's perspective, you and your expert must meet the challenge that making mirror-image copies of hard drives is not intrusive, and that the process is an easy and straightforward task. Be prepared to enter into a protective order for your client that will allow the opposition to claim that certain identified files are off limits.
The cheapest way for the plaintiff's lawyer to preserve evidence is to send the opposition a written notice to preserve that evidence. A more potent approach is to immediately serve a request for production of documents and items to the opposing party requesting that you wish to "copy" all the adversary's equipment, then to follow that up with a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of the person most knowledgeable about the opposing party's computer system.
The request for production of documents should explain that the information sought may exist actively in places such as network file servers, mainframe computers or minicomputers, stand-alone PCs, and network workstations. Data may also reside on off-line data storage media including backups and archives, floppy diskettes, tapes, and other removable electronic media. The request should specify that no potentially discoverable data be deleted or modified and that procedures that may affect such data not be performed unless all potentially discoverable data have been copied and preserved.
If you are concerned that critical data may be removed before you have a chance to conduct discovery, it may be necessary to obtain a restraining order, followed by a hearing to obtain a preliminary injunction. With respect to system users that may have discoverable information on their computers, the restraining order should state that no new software should be loaded and no data compression and disk defragmentation or optimization routines run until there has been an inspection or until image copies of the hard drive have been made. With respect to backup systems, ask that the rotation and reuse of backup media cease until relevant data can be copied. Requesting parties should ask that existing tapes be held aside and not recycled. Parties should be instructed not to dispose of any electronic media storage devices that are being replaced because of failure or system upgrades.
For defense lawyers, the best defense is a comprehensive protective order that allows for an orderly inspection of both sides' computers. The protective order should provide defense counsel with adequate opportunity to remove from "mirrored" copied hard disks those files that are work product, privileged, or confidential trade secrets of the client. Defense counsel should be entitled to conduct discovery as to the methods and practices of any expert hired by plaintiff's counsel to assure data integrity and chain of custody of any evidence acquired from his or her client.
Litigants with limited resources should focus on e-mail. E-mail is where people tell the unadorned truth. For the lawyer who simply wishes to advise his or her client to be aware of potential liabilities down the road, it is an almost impossible task to control the flow and proliferation of e-mail. Still, an employer should implement a policy that prohibits private use of e-mail, and to remind employees that e-mails are like postcards, available for all to read, including the employer. From time to time, employee e-mail should be monitored for compliance. Old e-mail should be routinely deleted and expunged.

Director:Not now, I'm busy! I said faster but not that fast! Now, let's try that again but slower!

Director:Cut, cut, cut! No, no, no. You need more feeling!
Director:Just take a message. You need more emotion, more commitment. Now let's do it right this time.
(Floor Director claps movie slate then actors replay the scene with over the top emotion and the Director is finally pleased.)
Director:Cut! Perfection! Print that! (turning to Camerawoman) Now, what did you want to ask me?
Camerawoman:How do you load the camera?

By David Beasley
ATLANTA (Reuters) - A Georgia grand jury has indicted country music singer Billy Currington on charges of threatening an elderly charter boat captain.
According to an April 15 police report, the captain told authorities he was taking two passengers on a tour near Currington's home on Tybee Island near Savannah when the singer began "screaming at them."
Later, when the boat passed Currington's home again on the return trip, Currington was in his own boat with a camera and followed the charter boat back to the dock and threatened the boat captain, the police report said.
A Chatham County grand jury on Wednesday indicted Currington on one count of making "terroristic threats" to inflict bodily harm and one count of abuse of an elderly person, said Daniel Baxter, spokesman for the Chatham County District Attorney's office.
A warrant for Currington's arrest has been issued, Baxter told Reuters, adding that if convicted on both counts, Currington faces up to 10 years in prison.
Currington, 39, has had six hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart since 2003, including, "Pretty Good At Drinkin' Beer" and "That's How Country Boys Roll," according to his website.
On his Twitter page, Currington wrote, "Hey guys, I wanted to thank everyone for the huge amount of support that I have received already. Unfortunately, I can't comment on this."

At Cambria, managing and minimizing our impact on the environment in both our product offerings and our daily operations is an important part of our business. In a nutshell, we want our product to have a big impact on our customers, not our environment.
Our product is primarily mined in North America, meaning we have lower transportation requirements than other quartz surfacing products produced outside the US.
During processing, 100 percent of the water used in Cambria's plant and fabrication facilities is recycled through a series of advanced settling and filtering techniques. All diamond-metal tooling is retooled and re-used. Scrap material is collected and used as road base material on local construction projects.
Environmental best practices are promoted through training programs at Cambria University. For example, Cambria Approved Fabrication and Installation Associates are educated in water recovery and equipment recycling practices.

Celebrating 200 episodes of The Boundless Show, plus Andy Stanley on enemies of the heart, and a question about crossing from "liking" to dating. Featured musical artist: Matt Wertz
[38:35] -
Almost four years ago we started The Boundless Show. Two hundred episodes later, we're still talking about everything from dating to the job market, movies, books, faith, fantasy football and more. This week we let our engineer, Dave Salkeld, in the studio to reminisce with Martha and me about 200 episodes of audio musings. I also connect with Tim Schellenberg, a new podcast uberfan (he listened to over 150 shows this summer!) and Emily Lyons, the winner of our 200 Episodes Contest.
[20:23] -
Andy Stanley is a favorite among young adults. He's a winsome pastor with an engaging style and a heart for Xers and Millennials. He's also the author of Enemies of the Heart, a book that tackles the four emotions that threaten to destroy us. What do we need to watch out for? He tells us here.
[4:36] -
The murky waters of moving from "liking" to dating. Sigh. Our listener wants to know how to make the transition (is it possible?) and how she should act in the meantime. Of course Candice has to take this one on. And she does.
Music this week — Christmas music, that is — is provided by Matt Wertz. Check out his holiday album, Snow Globe.

How many American freedoms will be taken in the name of "keeping us safe?" A great number of Americans have sacrificed their dignity, self-respect and personal freedoms by allowing a government agency to manipulate them into subjecting themselves to new regulations set by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), all in the name of keeping us safe from terrorists.
This would be the same government that stopped the phrase "War on Terror" and is against forceful tactics being used during questioning to gain information that might actually help keep our country safe. This is also the same government that refuses to adequately secure our borders along Arizona and other states to keep illegal immigrants form invading our country. Instead they fight the state's efforts to protect its self.
Is this a government we can rely on to keep us safe? Other countries do not impose these disrespectful tactics to make their airports safe. They use other methods and trained personnel to secure safety. Their methods would, of course, be much too politically incorrect for us. Perhaps political correctness and tolerance to the extreme is the real danger.
