A group of four associations, including AAU, sent a letter to White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Controller Daniel Werfel on March 7 requesting a 30-day extension of the comment period on OMB's request for comments on its Advanced Notice of Proposed Guidance (ANPG) on grant reform.
The Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) welcome the opportunity to respond to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) June 28, 2011 Request for Information (RFI): Input on Reduction of Cost and Burden Associated with Federal Cost Principles for Educational Institutions (OMB Circular A-21) (NOT-OD-11-091). Together, AAU and APLU represent most of the nation's large public and private research universities. Research universities strongly support the objectives of accountability and transparency, and our member institutions firmly believe that compliance and regulatory oversight are essential to the conduct of federally-supported research.
The Interagency Task Force's efforts to reform OMB Circular A-21 and the Administration's other efforts on reducing regulatory burden are of critical importance to our member institutions.
Improved alignment of cost principles and regulatory policies is essential to the health of the university-government research partnership and to the efficient and productive use of federal research funding. Given increasing fiscal constraints facing our universities, it is imperative that we work to ensure efficiency in government regulation to reduce the costs of compliance and to maximize the productivity of researchers.
An AAU, APLU, and COGR report submitted to the National Research Council panel that is studying the future of the research university which lays out recommendations for reforming regulatory and compliance costs of university-based research.
Dear Ms. Rockey: We write on behalf of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) to express concerns about changes recently announced by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) concerning its treatment of facilities and administrative (F&A) expenses pertaining to genomic arrays supported by NIH-funded programs (Budgeting for Genomic Arrays for NIH Grants, Cooperative Agreements and Contracts – Notice Number: NOT-OD-10-097, May 13, 2010). We agree in principle that the treatment of research costs might change periodically consistent with advances in scientific methods and instrumentation. However, speaking for virtually every U.S. research university – with over 200 U.S. universities among our combined memberships – we are increasingly troubled by what we believe to be unbalanced cost burdens on universities that have accumulated over some 20 years as a result of what appear to be similar arbitrary impositions by NIH and other agencies.
Dear Secretary Chu: On behalf of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Association of Public and Lang-grant Universities (A۰P۰L۰U), which together represent most major public and private U.S. research universities, we write to express our enthusiasm about the newly established Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy (ARPA-E). This new agency within the Department of Energy (DOE) will provide university researchers with exciting new opportunities to engage in transformational research to address major energy challenges facing our nation and the world. AAU and A۰P۰L۰U stand ready to support this organization in any way we can to ensure its success. To this end, we have submitted over 50 names of faculty and other researchers from our campuses who have stepped forward to serve as program officers and assistant program officers in the new ARPA-E.
Dear Ms. Richards: On behalf of the Council on Governmental Relations (COGR), the Association of American Universities (AAU), and the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC), please find attached our response to the August 6, 2008 Federal Register Notice request for comments on the use of cost sharing in National Science Foundation-funded activities.
The cap is unjustified for several reasons. Both direct and indirect costs are real costs of performing research that are distinguished only by the ability of an organization's accounting system to attribute each cost to a specific research project. An indirect cost is one that cannot be attributed to a specific project because it supports the research enterprise as a whole or is a general cost of doing business. Absent evidence of systemic overcharging of the Government by research institutions (e.g., from their federally required financial audits), there is no rational basis to question the legitimacy of the indirect costs charged to DoD basic research.
The FY2008 House Defense appropriations bill would severely limit the amount universities can be reimbursed for costs incurred while conducting Department of Defense basic research.
Dear Mr. Stern: As associations representing the nation's research universities and their affiliated academic medical centers, teaching hospitals, research institutes, and research faculty and staff, we recommend that the Inspector General withdraw the proposed Compliance Program Guidance for Recipients of PHS Research Awards in its current form. The detailed description of the compliance program and discussion of compliance risk areas will not accomplish the objective of enhancing compliance. It is too limited in scope and focus to result in the most effective compliance approaches. PHS research awardees share the belief that an effective compliance program helps ensure good stewardship of Federal funds. They are already striving to meet the goals of improving grants management and ensuring responsible conduct based on guidance developed by the research community itself, tailored to meet the complex compliance challenges inherent in the research enterprise.
Dear Subcommittee Members: On behalf of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC), we write in response to the request for comments from the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) published in the Federal Register on August 6, 2003. This notice requested input from stakeholders to assist the NSTC Subcommittee on Research Business Models in its current review of policies affecting the "business relationship" between federal agencies and research performers.
To Members of the Subcommittee: We are writing as members of a subcommittee of the Association of American Universities, which represents 60 leading public and private research universities in the US. Our subcommittee concerns OMB Circular A-21, and we wish to respond to your August 6 Federal Register notice soliciting information for your examination of "the business relationship between federal agencies and research performers with the goal of improving the performance and management of federally sponsored basic and applied scientific and engineering research."
Dear Dr. Holland: The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) appreciates this opportunity to submit comments to the National Science and Technology Council on its review of "business models" supporting research between federal agencies and academic and other non-governmental institutions.
Dear Mr. Tran: We write on behalf of the Association of American Universities and the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges to express our concern over OMB's proposed changes to Circular A-21 as part of OMB's effort to simplify the cost principles in that circular and two others (A-87 and A-122), and to make the descriptions of similar cost items consistent with one another where possible.
Dear Rita, AAU member institutions value the long-standing partnership between research universities and the federal government. This partnership has produced tremendous benefits for the American public. It has resulted in the generation of new knowledge and discoveries that have improved the public health, raised Americans' standard of living, and created jobs. An important aspect of the partnership is the shared responsibility for supporting the costs of university infrastructure associated with federally sponsored research. The process established to allocate these costs fairly is the facilities and administrative (F&A) rate mechanism. When universities do not recover from the federal sponsor a fair share of F&A expenses attributable to the research, they must pay for them by taking resources away from other research and education obligations.

text: Yellowstone Due for Eruption that Could Obliterate North AmericaAnnalee Newitz1/02/09 7:51pmFiled to: Disastergeysermega geophysicsYellowstoneSciencegetty49EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Dozens of nearly-imperceptible mini-earthquakes have made Yellowstone National Park tremble over the past few days - they might be early warning of an eruption so huge it buries half the U.S. under hot ash. Advertisement Located in Montana and Wyoming, Yellowstone is famous for its geysers, including "Old Faithful," which blasts steam into the air like clockwork every day. Now geologists studying the recent mini-quakes in the park say we might be in for a big blast. Such blasts tend to come about once every 600 thousand years, and we haven't seen one for roughly that amount of time.The last big explosion in Yellowstone, according to Scientific American, was roughly 640 thousand years ago, and it covered about 240 cubic miles in hot ash, scalding rocks, and magma. But don't worry yet, says SciAm's David Biello: Advertisement Although the earthquake swarm continues, according to the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, the volcano alert level remains normal. And a slew of larger earthquakes have occurred throughout the western U.S., Alaska, Puerto Rico and even Pennsylvania in the past week without incident, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.In recent years, Yellowstone's caldera has been rising thanks to uplifting magma beneath it-leading to more cracks, hot springs and even more frequent eruptions of Steamboat Geysers. Paired with the earthquakes, such magma movement might presage an eruption-either big or small. Unfortunately, scientists can't really predict when the next such eruption will happen, and the range of possibilities is large: from later today to a million years from now.How will we know if we should start worrying? The real warning signs will be rapid changes in the shape of the ground as well as volcanic gases leaking from the ground, neither of which have been sighted-yet.Right now, in some dark Hollywood pitch meeting, Jerry Bruckheimer is mud-wrestling with Michael Bay over the rights to a movie about this potential explodey Yellowstone disaster.SOURCE: Scientific American Sponsored Thanks, Robert Atlas!Photo by Nina Raingold/Getty Images.Reply49 repliesLeave a reply

Egyptian Troops Surround Pro-Morsi Demonstrators, Key Facilities
AP Photo / Hassan Ammar
Associated Press reporters in various part of Cairo say the troops, backed by armored personnel carriers and in full combat gear, have deployed on strategic bridges and near protest sites by supporters of embattled President Mohammed Morsi.
The deployment is part of a move by the military to tighten its control of key institutions Wednesday, slapping a travel ban on Morsi and top allies in preparation for an almost certain push to remove the Islamist president with the expiration of an afternoon deadline.

Hey, did anyone have the same problem with the headbands I described? The thing with one of the sockets being further out than the other? Are all the durabrand headbands made that way. Probably...
Saturday i hit the thrift stores and found a pair of headphones that look a lot like the durabrand 'phones but have the sockets flush with the frame of the plastic. Also some GPX headphones with a compatible socket.
I guess i oughta take pictures when i get home from work.
Picked up a UR40 for a probable orthodynamic transplant and might decide to keep the KSC75 stock and build a super-ghetto-looking headbanded ksc75-ish thing out of the UR40 drivers (which are exactly ksc75 drivers, little knobbed post on the back, plastic grille thing on the front, spikes to hold the foam pad, everything)

10 classical recordings to start your kid with
It's a sentimental notion, perhaps, to think that a newspaper article could get kids interested in classical music. Then again, getting them interested is not exactly rocket science. Kids like music just as much as anyone else, maybe more, and young ears are open to all kinds of it. The trick – and it's not much of one – is getting the right stuff in front of those ears.
When we start children out on reading, we don't hand them a copy of "Moby Dick" or "Finnegan's Wake" and say, OK, dive in. No, we start with picture books, with simple texts in monosyllables, with stories about other children and animals. We start by reading to them, and with them. We show them how.
A lot of the great masterpieces of classical music are the equivalent in depth and difficulty to "Moby Dick" and "Finnegan's Wake." So, we don't want to start there. We want to start out with short, mostly simple pieces and we want to listen with them.
Kids need two things, more or less, in a piece of classical music. They need a regular beat or they need some sort of story or picture (in the mind's eye) to go along with the music. (They don't need both in every piece.) The regular beats appear mostly in dance, or dance-like, pieces, such as "The Nutcracker Suite" or much of Baroque music. The stories or pictures appear in programmatic works such as "The Flight of the Bumblebee" or "The Carnival of the Animals."
Make it a regular habit to listen with your child, just as you did (or were supposed to) when they started out reading. When my own son was still in diapers, we'd have a short listening session every night just before his reading and bedtime. We'd play a lot of the same things night after night, but pretty soon he had a fairly big repertoire. And you'd be surprised what worked. I still remember him rocking up and down in front of the speakers to Schubert's song "Das Wandern" (from "Die schöne Müllerin") as sung, in German, by the incomparable Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. But then again, it has a powerful, regular beat.
So, establish a listening time. Then listen. That is, don't chat, or watch television, or read, or eat dinner. Give your full attention to the music. Sure, have fun, dance around, conduct the orchestra, crash cymbals or beat on drums. But make the music the thing, the only thing.

Rovers pounce on Burton youngster
Blackburn, Updated:
[.[views].], BY ClubCall
Blackburn have paid Burton an undisclosed fee for teenage forward Devarn Green.
The 16-year-old impressed Rovers during a two-week trial with the Championship club last season.
He will continue the remaining year of his academy scholarship at Ewood Park before signing a two-year professional contract with Blackburn.
Burton's academy manager Mike Whitlow told Albion's official website: "Our job is to create professional footballers and we want every youngster who comes into this building to progress, develop and get an opportunity and it is a fantastic move for Devarn.
"He's a great lad with a brilliant attitude and it's rewarding for everyone involved.
"Last year we had Regan Upton join Wolves and now Devarn has got his chance at Blackburn and of course we have the likes of Matty Palmer, who made his debut for Burton last season.
"We wish Devarn well and all want him to succeed and hopefully we've played our part in somebody becoming a professional footballer."

Seersucker Sunday
Mission: Reset a wine shop.
I was rested and ready. The store was closed, so no distractions. What is a guy like me doing on a Sunday resetting a wine section, when everyone else is at church in their Sunday best? Well, it's not just any store. It's one of the best Italian wine stores I have seen in all of the Southwest. Italian wine only. From all regions. Even Valle d'Aosta. And it is closed on Sunday so we could get a lot done in a little time. It is with a great deal of respect for the wines ( and the wine god) that my colleague and I set about making sense of the set.
You know I can be a big picture guy, but sometimes you have to zoom in on the macro and get down to the root. The floor. And that is where I was, on my knees, in my seersucker shirt, trying to get all the wines in their proper places.
A word about the average salesperson. The average salesperson is just that, average. They come in a store, try to find something that's out of stock that they can get an order for. So they bury a case or two in the cold box. Maybe there's a case of Barbera that has been sitting in the corner for a few weeks. It isn't hurting anything, and there's no more room for another wine in the Piedmont section. And there it stays. And stays. But the salesman gets his piddly little order and slinks out to find another victim. All the while the wines made by the hands of the Italian man and woman finds their last stop in a little store in the corner of America and there it sits, their life's work, their heart and soul. And the soul of their ancestors. History kicked under a stack of Pinot Grigio and forgotten. All because some salesperson was too damn lazy to help find it a final home.
Our reset went slow. In fact we never quite got out of the white wine section. We kept finding 2003, 2004, 2005 white wines from Italy. And we aren't talking Fiorano or Valentini or Gravner. These were Pinot Grigios from the Veneto, old (and very falso) Cortese wines, tired Rabosos with no more spritz in their frizzante. You get the idea? So our client and friend who, owns the store, now has a beautiful white wine section and a table of sale wines. There are some surprises in there, but the real shocker will be when those average salespeople walk in the store and see more space and try and fill it up with more of their lost soul wines, the ones they never tended in the first place. They're like pimps, with no real concern or love for the wines they are schlepping around. Pity.
Sometimes a shelf set begins to look like an Escher drawing or an optical illusion. All these Italians standing on the deck of the ship waiting to dock so that can be taken to their very own spot in America. That's what the wines in the Tuscan section scream to me when I walk by them. Chiantis and Super Tuscans, Morellinos and Vino Nobiles. Brunellos are bulging and declassified Brunellos are also peering over the edge wondering when anyone will take them in. They aren't tired and they aren't poor, but they sure are the huddled masses. Like our client said, "There will be more Sundays."
Personally I am looking forward to that seersucker Sunday, my Fellini-esqe escapade, on the beach, where everything is young and fresh and willing, and there is another Sunday following it, not a Monday. Wouldn't it be loverly?

The meeting in Sacramento didn't get much press, anything noteworthy? - August 3, 2009 at 12:07 AM
It's good to see that seersucker still lives. A true Sunday warrior, but then again your pool water was probably about 120 degrees. You must have got into the reds some because that looks like a Pio Cesare wine in your hand. And that was before I read the upsidedown box!

@ Wine Clubs: It was three days of seminars by experts from all over the world. A Spanish wine seminar that had wine going back to the 1950's and Tondonia whites from the 1970's. A Sherry seminar that rocked, a seminar on Tokaji that was unforgettable, a session with Master Somms on "Are wine points necessary?" and on and on. It was a great event and a fabulous value. I urge folks to get to the SWE site and sign up for next year in Washington DC.
@ Marco- The wine was red and I couldnt let the Barbera ( and Nebbiolo, etc) languish in a box on the floor without some way to help get the wines in the right hands. Too bad you don't live nearby because there are about 300 bottles of white and rose wine that are 30% off. And the pool is bracingly cool. We've had a few days of rain and the weather has taken the pool temp down to a very pleasant level. I got 30 minutes in yesterday. - August 3, 2009 at 7:36 AM

As usual you find the words that resonate.
"... wines made by the hands of the Italian man and woman find their last stop in a little store in the corner of America ... History kicked under a stack of Pinot Grigio and forgotten."
So true for so many great (and near-great) Italian wines waiting for the light of day. And for the many Italian winemakers hoping to find salvation in the Land of Plenty.
E triste che noi, anche, are the ones who lose.

She tweeted the news.
Kelly Clarkson is celebrating a big moment!
The singer married fiancé Brandon Blackstock Sunday, and she reported the happy news on Twitter Monday afternoon. Clarkson also shared an adorable picture of Blackstock planting a sweet kiss on her head. And she looks stunning in her long-sleeve lace wedding dress by Temperley (she tweeted thanks to the designer).
The ceremony took place at Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tenn.
Clarkson had said in August that the two had scrapped their big wedding plans because of their busy schedules, instead opting to elope. It seems like they stuck with the low-key plan.
The Stronger singer, 31, is now stepmom to music-exec Blackstock's two children.


text: Hacked Frogger Arcade Now Has You Dodging the Real Traffic On Fifth AvenueAndrew Liszewski4/19/12 12:00pmFiled to: GamesFroggerArcadesTrafficThe stoner channel23EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Believe it or not, Frogger has been skipping his way across busy highways for thirty years now. And to celebrate his anniversary, Tyler DeAngelo created this updated version of the arcade classic that now has the frog dodging the realtime traffic on New York's Fifth Avenue.AdvertisementBut don't worry, this version of the game doesn't have players dragging the arcade cabinet across the actual street, ala George Constanza. That would be game over in two minutes. Instead, the realtime footage from a webcam looking down at the street is processed, and the position and motion of the actual cars driving down Fifth Avenue is translated to the in-game vehicles.The hacked version of the game also provides a split-screen view showing the player how the traffic in the game matches the traffic on Fifth Avenue in real life. But since it was built into an authentic Frogger cabinet, you can also switch back and play the classic version of the game. A nice addition for when you get the hankering to play in the wee hours of the morning, but the light traffic doesn't provide much of a challenge. [5th Ave Frogger via Make]

"Heads of state and heads of government are eligible for A1 visa classification under the INA (Immigration and Nationality Act). No individual automatically qualifies for a US visa," the State Department Spokesperson, Jen Psaki, told reporters yesterday.
"US law exempts foreign government officials, including heads of state and heads of government from certain potential inadmissibility grounds," Psaki said when asked about the possibility of issuing visa to Narendra Modi, BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate.
US officials avoided direct questions on issuing visa to Narendra Modi
Refusing to go into any greater level of detail, Psaki refrained from responding to direct questions on Modi visa issue, except for saying that the United States looks forward to working with new Indian government.
"We don't talk about visa applications. We are looking forward to working with the new Indian government when they are elected. But Iam not going to speculate on that given, obviously, the results haven't been announced yet," she said.
The results of the 16th general elections of India are scheduled to be announced on May 16.
The exit polls has predicted BJP, led by NDA to form the next government in India.

Just 23 years of age when the playoffs began (he turned 24 just four days before the Hawks won the Cup - what a birthday gift!), Dave was in the throes of his fourth NHL season (okay, he played a single game in 2006-07), when Chicago collected the Stanley Cup. Bolland matched 8 goals with 8 assists in 22 post-season games to aid the cause.
On Thursday, September 2, the Stanley Cup arrived in Mimico, formerly a municipality but now a neighbourhood just west of Toronto's downtown. Dave Bolland did a series of 'hit and runs' to say hello to the area in which he was raised. was the guest of honour in a Stanley Cup parade through the area.
Bolland took the Stanley Cup to the home of a family friend, and then arrived at his childhood home, where he reminisced about all those early morning practices that led to the NHL and having his name engraved on the greatest trophy in sports.
Dave arrived at Mimico Arena, where he was greeted by a gathering of minor hockey and lacrosse players from the area, who all looked on in awe as Bolland arrived with the Stanley Cup.
The Stanley Cup celebration proceeded anyway. Seated atop an antique fire engine along with several youngsters, Dave waved to family, friends and fans as he was driven through the rain-soaked streets of Mimico.
Arriving at the town square, Bolland climbed down and signed autographs and posed for pictures for two hours.
A quick stop at a local pub and then it was off for dinner at the home of a local politician.
The Blackhawks have big plans for Bolland, who helps form an outstanding core along with teammates like Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. A fine two-way player, Bolland works hard and skates miles every night, making Coach Q a happy man.
The Stanley Cup Journal ventures to familiar territory, visiting Scotty Bowman and Hawks' GM Stan Bowman when we next get together. Join us back here on Friday.
Kevin Shea is the Editor of Publications and Online Features for the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Martial Arts: Traditional Chinese Medicine
By David Bock, C.Ac. Dipl.OM, FABORM
"Old injuries" are common in many athletes and martial artists. Joints, in particular, do not always heal well from trauma or surgery. Often old injuries haunt athletes with stiffness and dull pain. These injuries are often not enough to stop the athlete, but they do slow the athlete down and impair performance.
From a Chinese medical perspective, when an injury lingers and continues to produce pain it is seen as an incomplete healing of the injury. Traditional treatment starts with understanding why the injury is not completely healed, and how to help the body repair as much damage as possible.
Pain and other symptoms are signs and indications about the nature of body functioning. Pain is not the enemy, but rather an indicator that something is wrong. Dull achy types of pain can indicate that an injury did not heal well.
There are many reasons why a trauma may not heal well. Joint and connective tissue tends to heal slower due to a low perfusion of blood compared to muscle tissue. Sometimes the rate of re-injury exceeds the ability of the body to heal. This can come from overuse of the joint or simply poor health and age. Environment, nutrition and severity of the original injury also play a role.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) incompletely healed injuries are called a Bi (pronounced "bee") syndrome. The term Bi does not translate well, but refers to a broad class of medical conditions often involving chronic pain. Arthritis, gout and tennis elbow are just a few of the situations that often fall under the category of Bi syndrome.
In TCM, the specific type of Bi syndrome and the ultimate treatment strategy is not determined by location or severity of the pain. Bi syndromes are classified by the nature of the pain, and are named after the environmental conditions that they most represent. Quite often, Bi syndrome patients complain that the pain of the injury is worse when there are specific changes in weather. The most common variations seen in martial artists are:
Wind Bi
Indications: Marked by various types of pain that tend to move around the body. The pain seems to come and go at random, a pain in a joint one day, headache on the side of the head the next. Often there is stiffness of the neck, and often the patient naturally avoids wind and drafts.
Treatment: Responds well to herbal formulas that calm wind type symptoms and nourish the body to strengthen the healing process. Acupuncture can be helpful. It is also recommended that the patient dress in protective clothing to avoid wind and drafts that can aggravate the pain. Sometimes the severity of a case of Wind Bi is tied to over training. In that case an extended period of lighter, less exhausting workouts is recommended.
Topical: Keep injured area protected from the environment.
Food: Increase proteins, gelatin and dark colored foods in the diet. This is similar to treatment for anemia, for more information see "Boosting Stamina With Herbs and Nutrition"
Damp Bi
Indications: The patient experiences localized fixed pains that do not move. The pain has a heavy dull nature to it. Limbs that are affected feel heavy and weak. Sometimes there is a feeling of trapped fluid, puffiness, or edema at the location of the pain. The patient often feels tired and sluggish, particularly during humid, wet weather.
Treatment: Can be relieved with herbs that are aromatic and drying. Moxibustion (an acupuncture technique that utilizes heat) is also very helpful in reducing the pain and speeding the healing process by "drying" the injury. Heat applied daily to the area can also help.
Topical: Use sports rubs that contain aromatic musk and camphor.
Food: Sugar and greasy foods will increase this type of pain and should be avoided. Increase aromatic spices like cardamom, turmeric and curry in the diet.
Cold Bi
Indications: Presents as a sharp, tight, stiff type of pain. It feels better with the application of heat and movement. There is no redness or swelling to the injured area. Cold Bi sometimes results from frostbite or a sports injury that was excessively iced.
Treatment: Can be relieved by the regular application of heat in the form of heat lamps, pads, or moxibustion. Applying heat daily, regardless of the level of pain helps the injury to heal and gain in strength. There are many classic herb formulas containing hot herbs. Some are more drying for combination damp and cold Bi and some are just hot.
Topical: Liniments that contain capsicum/hot chili can be helpful.
Food: Add hot peppers, cinnamon and yellow spices like ginger, mustard, and garlic to the diet.
Hot Bi
Indications: Marked by a chronic redness and warmth at the site of the pain. This is different from acute tenderness and swelling immediately after the trauma. Pain varies, but feels worse with the application of heat.
Treatment: Herbal formulas are prescribed to clear heat and the damp that often accompanies hot Bi. TCM views ice as being useful in controlling pain, but counterproductive in helping the body to heal. This is due to the way ice constricts the flow of much needed blood and delays tissue repair.
Topical: Use liniments that are cooling in nature. They will contain menthol, mint (like wintergreen), rhubarb or dandelion.
Food: Increase dark green vegetables and seaweeds as well as dark berries (cherries, blueberries etc.) in the diet.
In practice, Bi syndromes often manifest in combinations. Patients often present with cold and damp, or wind and cold, with one dynamic being predominant. The symptoms provide a way for the body to indicate what type of treatment is needed to help the body to heal.
Many people treat these types of pain with increasing amounts of over-the-counter analgesics. While these analgesics reduce the pain they are not designed to help the injury to heal. In many cases, decreasing the pain allows the patient to cause more damage to the injured area.
The focus in TCM is to utilize treatments that can help the body to heal, which in turn will reduce the pain. None of these treatments can change the structure of the body. Only the body itself can rebuild tissue. These treatments do however help the body to heal as much as possible and decrease the pain while increasing the functionality of the tissue involved.

Find Lowest PricesThis medication is used to treat moderate to severe cases of plaque psoriasis. It works by blocking certain natural proteins in your body (interleukin-12 and interleukin-23) that may lead to the overproduction of skin cells and inflammation seen in plaque psoriasis.
Ustekinumab does not cure plaque psoriasis, but it can help lessen the symptoms, including decreasing the amount of painful, itchy, sore patches of thick, red or inflamed skin covered with silvery scales known as plaques. It is not known if using ustekinumab for more than 2 years is safe and effective.
Ustekinumab may also be used to treat a certain type of arthritis (psoriatic arthritis).
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
This medication may also be used to treat a certain bowel condition (Crohn's disease).
Read the Medication Guide and the Instructions for Use provided by your pharmacist before you start using ustekinumab and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Before starting this drug, you should take a tuberculosis (TB) skin test to check for a type of tuberculosis that may not be causing any symptoms (latent TB). If you are diagnosed with TB, to prevent a serious TB infection you must first be treated for it before you start ustekinumab.
This medication is given by injection under your skin either in the upper arms, buttock, thighs, or abdomen as directed by your doctor. You will receive one dose, followed by a second dose 4 weeks later. Then this medication is given every 3 months.
Dosage is based on your weight, medical condition, and response to treatment.

Bruising, itching, pain, redness, swelling, or hardening of the skin at the injection site may occur. Injection site reactions usually go away after 1 or 2 days. Headache, back pain, or sinus/throat pain may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
This medication can affect your immune system. It can lower your body's ability to fight an infection.

Buenos Aires: Argentina's government is slapping a restriction on online and mail-order purchases from abroad as it tries to stem the outflow of dollars.
Wednesday's announcement in the official gazette limits Argentines to just two such purchases a year. Purchases beyond that will be dealt with as imports, subject to more extensive paperwork.
It comes only a day after the government said it would require people to submit a statement to the tax agency before they can receive goods ordered from abroad. Such goods can be taxed at 50 percent.
Argentina's economy is suffering from a shortage of dollars and its foreign reserves recently plunged to their lowest level in more than seven years. Australia's retailers have grappled for years with the issue of how to compete with purchases made online from less expensive overseas businesses.

Bug Attack (Atari 8-bit)
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. ...
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Bug Attack is a colorful shoot-em-up where you are assaulted by dagger-throwing millipedes, ants, and med flies. The game looks similar to the arcade game Centipede, but plays quite differently.In the first waves, you are a spider in a desert surround by cacti. First the ants come at you, wandering back and forth randomly between the cacti and chucking daggers at you if you get under them. If you dispatch the ants, you get to fight the millipede, which advances row by row, not stopping for anything including the plants (or your spider). It also throws daggers from time to time as it advances. The third wave pits you against the deadly med flies, which dance in a line around the screen. If you don't shoot them fast enough, they start to break off from the group, dancing wildly and raining daggers down upon you. Finish this last wave and you get bonus points for the amount of fuel you have left and get treated to a small interlude where a chorus of bugs sings to you as a med fly pollinates a flower.
The second and third levels are similar to the first, except that they are tougher. The second wave takes place in a clover patch and the third wave puts you in the flower garden. The second and third waves also have tough bonus levels at the end. Once you finish the flower garden you begin all over again back in the desert, but the enemy is much more numerous and difficult this time around.

I have been following this thread, and as everyone is saying how good the synergy of V200 with the T1s (as well as my HD650) is, I took the plunge.
I have been following this thread, and as everyone is saying how good the synergy of V200 with the T1s (as well as my HD650) is, I took the plunge.
The next logical step up would be the V800, imho. ;)
I have been following this thread, and as everyone is saying how good the synergy of V200 with the T1s (as well as my HD650) is, I took the plunge.
I agree that the V200 has some impact on the HD650. I've noticed how imaging has improved, but it almost feels like the HD650s are transformed a little. When I listen to them now they don't feel like HD650 anymore (be it good or bad). They feel more open now, layered almost, and at times quite natural. I actually feel like the HD650 and V200 is an excellent synergy for orchestral and classical music. The treble seems softer yet still detailed, and I can keep raising the volume some knob more on many female vocal tracks, which I couldn't do before. I hate to exaggerate, and I hope I'm not going over the line on some statements. But I personally feel like rather than making the HD650 darker which I had been hoping for, they sort of opened up and feel a bit more dynamic than they used to be.
The V200 has sparkled my interest in the LCD-2 so I might be selling off the HD650 to afford them, or perhaps going back to HE-400 which I haven't heard on the V200 yet. It would be nice to have a pair of HD650 on the side at all times because of their safe and pleasent sound signature, but I don't have the cash to keep too many headphones; plus, I want to try out different, more fun alternatives.
I do agree that the HD650s are now better for a number of genres and yes they have transformed, while at the same time still retaining their trademarks. They are still dark, but the detailing has improved substantially. There is better clarity, soundstage, instrumental imaging, and there is a noticeable improvement in the treble (without being anywhere near sibilant, unlike my T1s).
My view is that with the V200 is the HD650s have finally blossomed. They are retaining their trademark relaxing and darker sound, which succeeds putting a smile to my face every time, but with a high(er)-end sound.
I was on the verge of selling the HD650s, but they now make such a great reference for future comparisons (and casual listening), that I will keep them. The irony of this is that I have initially purchased the V200 more for my T1s, but I am now quite convinced I will return the T1s while I still can. And that's just personal preference, they do sound really great with the V200.
I tend to fully agree with you. :) Although it will be on the expensive side of what I was going to spend, but I guess this is how it always goes isn't it.
THe V200 makes the TH-900 sounds believable. :)
I bought my unit used within your price range. So keep your eyes open and pull the trigger if the opportunity is there. And somedays it will be there. :) On the other hand you can save your money for it. Another possibility would be the Audiolab M-DAC. But the look doesn't fit to the V200's appearance, imho.
Last thing I have to say is just take a look at this:
^ The V800/200 stack is wonderful. I'm already getting tired of the bulkiness of my Audio-gd DAC. But unfortunately it's gonna be a long while until I can afford something like the V800, alternatively the Sabre D18.
I've been eyeing similar options for a DAC. The boss at home didn't appreciate me today mentioning such budget potentially allocated into another "headphone" device. :)
But those are good advices from what I've been reading. I am just hoping some magical new amazing DAC will be available for the same quality at a great price. Dream on...
The V200 sounds simply incredible with the HE-500s. Perhaps more than any other amp that we talk about on head-fi, it seems to be beloved in a wider range of headphones and source electronics combinations than any other amplifier. It almost always, just seems to sing. It's analog-like sound never fatigues and never makes you cringe even with bright recordings, and at the same time, it never makes you feel shortchanged in detail and resolution. That's the balance that make so many people like it, me thinks. I know I do. It's a great bang-for-the-buck investment.
I bought both things used and prepaid. My boss at home hasn't asked me a single question on the price tag for those units. Ok, it was luck to some point. But the units look both quite inconspicious to wifes/girlfriends, which is a big plus to me. :D But if you look closer, and touch the units you surely can feel the extraordinary quality. :)
You're definetaly right in this regard. But I think this amp meanwhile is sufficient appreciated. Same is going on for the extraorinary DAC V800. It's sold out until march.
The V200 sounds simply incredible with the HE-500s. Perhaps more than any other amp that we talk about on head-fi, it seems to be beloved in a wider range of headphones and source electronics combinations than any other amplifier. It almost always, just seems to sing. It's a great bang-for-the-buck investment.
The only beef appears to be with a couple of ultimate headphones, like the LCD3 and HE-6. Maybe Vioelectric/Lake People will consider the feedback on this forum for the next iteration of V200? :)
Isn't the LCD3 technical quite similar to the LCD. 2.rev1/2/...? The HE 6 indeed seems to need a plenty of power. It seems to be the choice of the listener if a headphone amp is sufficient or not.
Imo someone who doesn't like the HE 6 on the V200 wouldn't be satisfied with any headphone amp/appreciates more a "real" amp.
While V200 bolsters a wide soundstage with great instrument separation, it lacks depth and space. If Violectric ever makes a similar product like the V200 but with a more three dimensional soundstage then I'm almost set for life. The only contender in the same price range with a greater soundstage I can think of is the Sabre A18, which unfortunately has a little less current ouput for low impedance and higher output impedance than the V200. However, it should have higher voltage output for high impedances in comparison: 24V into 600ohm, I think.
The HE-6 is perhaps too much of a beast, but otherwise I think the V200 couples beautifully with orthos. Can't wait to try out its true potentials.
If you read the specs of both Amps you'll see that the V100 outperforms the Auditor in any respect. The Auditor also has a high output impedance of 9Ohms, which makes it unsuitable for a wide variety of cans (all IEMs). With this I'm certainly not saying that he Auditor isn't a respectable Amp, but you should consider it to drive cans with input impedances above 72Ohms.
The V100 can be ordered with a built in 16/48 or 24/96 DAC module, which is also a great value DAC, which outperforms DACs like the CEntrance Dacport and Dacport LX and costing a lot less. With the 24/96 built-in DAC, the V100 is still less expensive than the Auditor. The V100 also features both balanced and unbalanced inputs and 4 gain settings that make it more versatile than the Auditor.
Regarding the difference between the V100 and the V200, it is really a matter of performance with more demanding headphones, being the damping factor the main difference. If you plug in high impedance headphones or inneficient headphones, you can hear subtle differences, but beyond that they are both audio transparent Amps that for the most perform equally well at audible levels.
I own a V100 and I have compared it to the V200, but with cans that are less demanding I couldn't honestly hear any difference. Both Amps live up to the Violectric philosophy: No sound.
Unless you really need the extra power of the V200 (let's say you own a K1000, a HE-6, a T1, etc.), you can without any hesitation go for the V100. I have a HD 800 and a K702, and I really don't need more Amp for those cans. That said, the V100 is still a power beast compared to the large majority of Amps, and if it weren't for the design philosophy of Fried Reim - in which it makes sense - it would most certainly be overkill.

NEW YORK – Citizens Financial Group's Ellen Alemany, CEO, ranks No. 98 among the world's 100 most powerful women, according to Forbes' October 2010 list.
"They are heads of state and first ladies, bankers and cultural icons, CEOs and entrepreneurial athletes. A fresh look at power and creative influence," said Forbes about the list. First lady Michelle Obama took the top spot, Irene Rosenfeld of Kraft Foods came in second and Oprah Winfrey ranked third.
"As steward of U.S. regional bank Citizens Financial Group, Alemany is finally breathing a sigh of relief. The bank's U.K. parent, Royal Bank of Scotland, is returning to profitability, and she's investing in automation upgrades and personnel," said Forbes. The magazine also said Alemany sits on the Federal Advisory Council as well as the boards of the Center for Discovery, her handicapped daughter's school, and the March of Dimes.
In her Forbes profile, Alemany is listed as 54 years old, a N.Y. resident, married with three children and has an MBA from Fordham University.
As for Massachusetts residents, Fidelity's Abigail Johnson ranked No. 59, trailing Framingham resident and "retail guru" Carol Meyrowitz, CEO of TJX Cos. (TJ Maxx, Marshalls) at No. 54. Laura Sen, Natick resident and CEO of BJ's Wholesale Club, took the No. 82 spot.
Cambridge-resident Elizabeth Warren, assistant to President Barack Obama and special adviser to the Secretary of Treasury, was ranked as the world's 37th-most powerful women
University of Rhode Island graduates Christiane Amanpour, CNN anchor for "This Week," and Nancy McKinstry, CEO of Dutch publisher Wolters Kluwer, take the No. 73 and No. 77 spots, respectively.
With all the American women of truly great accomplishment and power, how can anyone take Forbes list seriously when it places Michelle Obama at #1?
