We're part of a vibrant, forward-thinking industry that feeds the world. This is something to be proud of and celebrate, whether you're the one consuming the food or the one growing it. We have the opportunity to do that during Canada's Agriculture Day on February 16.
Canada's Agriculture Day is a time to come together as an industry to celebrate the business of agriculture and engage in positive dialogue about agriculture and food. It's a time to showcase all of the amazing things happening in the industry and help consumers draw a closer connection to where their food comes from and the people who produce it.
The theme of the day is "Let's celebrate the food we love". And there are many ways to get involved and celebrate the day. Whether you're interested in participating on social media, taking a personal farm or food challenge or getting your community involved, there are plenty of ways to share your love of Canadian agriculture and food. You can make it as small or as big as your imagination can make it.
Farm & Food Care encourages all farmers, agribusinesses, and consumers to think of a way of getting involved and then take action. Perhaps it's handing out copies of The Real Dirt on Farming booklet at your local grocery store, bus station, campus centre or book club. Maybe it's scheduling a talk to a local service club that day, or visiting a school or inviting a classroom of students to visit your farm. There are so many ways that you can celebrate Canada's Agriculture Day and show consumers how passionate you are about food and farming!
Once you've got a plan, post your activity to the event section at www.AgDay.ca to help extend the reach. This event page contains a complete list of activities happening in your community — many farm industry associations, businesses and Ag More Than Ever partners are hosting their own Canada's Agriculture Day events that are open to the public. It's all about celebrating Canadian agriculture and food in engaging, fun and respectful ways.
Here are a few additional ideas to get you started:
- Challenge yourself to make a meal for your family with all Canadian-grown foods.
- Snap a pic of what you're doing and share it on social media – include hashtags like #CdnAgDay, #IWorkInAg or #FarmLife .
- Are you a foodie and huge fan of Canadian food? Use this day to ask your food questions!
- Host a potluck and encourage your friends to use all Canadian ingredients. Tweet about it with #CdnAgDay as well as food-based hashtags, such as #LoveYourFood and #Foodie, to connect with those outside the farm audience
- Visit AgMoreThanEver.ca and take an agvocate challenge.
- Give back to the community by volunteering at your local food bank or soup kitchen.

Hi, thanks for sending the item as quick as you did. I used it to add a telephone extension to a little room we have converted into a office. The advise Matthew give was useful to which was not to staple the cable and use clips as staples can damage the internal cores of the cable. The telephone extension is working perfect. Ethan

Item #: SCP-3199
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: All live instances of SCP-3199 are to be contained on Site-114 within a Keter humanoid containment chamber, the walls of which should be coated in approximately two centimeter thick acid-resistant steel. Two meters of empty space are to be allocated between this chamber and secondary containment.
Secondary containment consists of suspending all live instances of SCP-3199 inside a solid block of strong, transparent substance (currently clear acrylic resin).
This block is to be at a height of at least three meters, with one armed security guard stationed directly outside initial containment at all times. An eight-digit passcode can be obtained from the current Site-114 director in order to access the initial containment chamber, and allow for close-up examination of SCP-3199's behaviour and appearance. CCTV equipment is, however, installed in one corner of the containment cell for remote observation.
Secondary containment is to be regularly examined for damages. Any sign of aggressive activity will be noted, and the current Site-114 Director informed at the earliest possible convenience.
A temporary recall procedure is detailed in Addendum 3199-03. Experiments involving the use of live SCP-3199 instances are strictly prohibited without approval from at least two personnel of Level-4 security clearance or above.
As of 12/6/2017, there are four present and contained instances of SCP-3199.
Description: SCP-3199 is a sentient humanoid species of a currently unknown biological origin, though tissue samples suggest traces of domestic chicken (Gallus gallus) and chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) DNA. Instances of SCP-3199 are hairless, stained with a thin layer of albumin, and stand at an average of 2.9 meters. Weight averages 780 kg for a matured instance, and 360 kg for a hatchling. The necks of SCP-3199 appear dislocated, and are capable of twisting approximately 340°, presumably due to the nature of SCP-3199's reproductive cycle.
SCP-3199 are opportunistic hunters, engaging with live subjects within a currently unidentified radius within a radius of 0.6 kilometers surrounding hatchlings that have not yet reached full adolescence. Average speed is recorded at 25 km/h. Upon contact with human or animal subjects, SCP-3199 will proceed to [REDACTED], liquefying internal organs and bone structure. The cadaver is then transported to the young and utilized as a form of nourishment.
Instances of SCP-3199 have been observed producing large eggs of an off-white coloration and rubbery appearance. These eggs pass through the entity's stomach, esophagus and eventually out via the mouth, followed by a viscous red substance (first thought to be a form of placenta, chemical breakdown has determined it to be a highly corrosive material.) SCP-3199 shows extreme distress throughout the process, with personnel describing the sound as 'not dissimilar to a scream'.
Presumably due to a biologically ingrained method of avoiding extinction, SCP-3199 produces its eggs to fill available space. This anomalous property currently has no known limit, and as a result may pose an LK-Class species transmutation scenario. Termination of SCP-3199 can be performed with relative ease. However, a complete eradication is currently impossible difficult, as all instances of SCP-3199 (regardless of age) carry one egg inside their stomach, ensuring survival for at least one member of their species at all times.
Egg samples have proven to be extremely resilient, lacking visible signs of damage after subjection to:
- Extreme blunt-force trauma.
- Extensive pressure exceeding 180,000 psi.
- High-precision blades. (Serrated and non-serrated)
- Long-term acid exposure.
Use of point-blank explosives was suggested, but never tested. Heat exposure has been determined to accelerate hatch rates, and thus detonation may run the risk of a containment breach. (See Addendum 3199-04).
SCP-3199 was issued Keter classification on 10/6/2017 following the events of a containment breach. SCP-3199's original water containment method was disassembled, and replaced with the current resin solution.
Addendum 3199-01: On █/█/2017, O5-█ dispatched the following notice regarding SCP-3199:
All experiments involving SCP-3199 egg samples are strictly prohibited until further notice. Hatching periods have proven too unreliable to warrant extensive research, and as the consequences of a containment breach become more and more apparent, the O5 Council have collectively decided to eliminate risks at the source and prevent testing until new information surfaces. We thank you for your cooperation.
SCP-3199 was discovered in ██████, Ireland after reports of an unidentified, 'bald' creature 'crying like a banshee' from within a dense woodlands resulted in the dispatching of MTF Omega-19 ("Omelette"). Two personnel were lost in action, their internal organs and jaws having been almost entirely dissolved. During transportation, SCP-3199 produced two offspring, resulting in the deaths of a further six personnel. It is entirely unknown as to how the first instance of SCP-3199 came into existence. A thorough examination of the original capture site is currently undergoing confirmation.
(See Addendum 3199-02).
Addendum 3199-03: Protocol 34-22-B - 'Poached'
Regarding the re-containment of SCP-3199. The following procedure will occur in the event of a breach.
- On-site personnel with Level-1 security clearance or above assume standard lock-down procedure and immediately move to Site-113 unless instructed otherwise.
- Site-114 is to be filled entirely with distilled water, treated with Class A sedatives.
- Surface Team Tango-306-A will be notified and dispatched and instructed to retrieve any instances of SCP-3199's eggs.
- Any living instances of SCP-3199 will be terminated on sight, and their remaining eggs will be collected.
- All egg samples are to be transported to temporary off-site containment.
- Site-114 will then be drained, and janitorial staff dispatched to thoroughly clean the area. Personnel attempting to breach Site-114 before this inspection is complete will be apprehended and suspended accordingly.
Note: Some personnel have displayed skepticism regarding the necessity of SCP-3199's current breach protocol. To elaborate, we have reason to believe that fluid is an excellent counter to SCP-3199's anomalous reproductive properties. It appears to enter an inert state in the presence of liquid, regardless of thickness or clarity. There are two theories regarding this occurrence:
1. SCP-3199's need for survival demands all of its attention to focus on not drowning. It's possible we have found a loophole within its own nature.
2. SCP-3199 considers the liquid around it as 'full space', and as a result does not produce any young when submerged.
The latter theory holds more water, as SCP-3199 appears to be totally inactive when submerged. For now, I believe I speak for all of Site-114 when I say it's a relief to at least have a consistent method of containment.
-Dr. Watt
Note: I wish the very best to the families of those lost during SCP-3199's initial recovery. Furthermore, I would like to formally request that Cpl. Duncan is administered one Class B amnestic at the earliest possible convenience. No excuses.
Dr. E. Ewing
Site-114 Director

SN 7 | EP 13 | Waterpark Bug-Out
Anthony Melchiorri visits Ohio to help a dilapidated indoor waterpark and hotel with the worst bedbug infestation he's ever seen.
Available: Amazon.com, Google Play, iTunes Store
It's almost impossible to survive in the highly competitive hotel business without competent customer service, because patrons who experience an unhappy hotel stay often visit online review sites to tell their negative stories. And once word gets around, guests stop coming around. That's when Anthony Melchiorri arrives on the scene. He's a hotel "fixer," the guy hotel operators call when their establishment needs to be overhauled. This hourlong series portrays the tough-love style Melchiorri uses at hotels across the country as he implements changes that include staff retraining and lobby renovations. With more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality business, Melchiorri says he knows the minute he walks into a hotel what needs to be fixed.

You might not know his name. You might not know that he was born and raised in Cascade, or that he went to Manitou Springs High School.
But you recognize Geoff Stults. Trust me.
You recognize the face. You remember him as that guy from the now-defunct WB's 7th Heaven (his older brother George was also a cast member), or from his role as the groom at the Cleary wedding in Wedding Crashers, or from his memorable turn as the guy who spurned a date with Jennifer Aniston to play Madden football with Vince Vaughn in The Break-Up.
Or ... you know him as Eddie Latekka, the brooding ex-high school jock on ABC's October Road, which recently returned for its second season. Earlier this week, we caught up with Stults over the phone between shots on the show's Pasadena, Calif.- area set.
Indy: So congrats on the new season, Geoff. A lot of people weren't so sure October Road would be picked up.
GS: Yeah, it's back on. I found out about mid-May ... But then we still weren't sure where we were going to have the new season. Was it going to be [in Los Angeles]? Was it going to be in Atlanta, where we shot the first season? We were thrilled to get to work at home [in L.A.].
Indy: Yet the show takes place in Knights Ridge, a fictional Massachusetts town ...
GS: Yeah, now we're shooting Pasadena for Atlanta for Massachusetts. Unless you know exactly what to look for you won't know the difference.
Indy: Probably not. But I love the fact that it's the same town name as the one used by your show's executive producer, Scott Rosenberg, when he wrote Beautiful Girls, one of my favorite movies. There are a lot of parallels between that movie and this show ...
GS: You could call them more than just parallels. (Laughs.) Yeah, there's no doubt ... Scott went away, became a writer, and wrote this movie. My interpretation of October Road is that it's Scott's life after the movie came out and ... how these real-life characters reacted to him after Beautiful Girls came out. He still goes every year, and he has a ski trip with the real-life characters. They're still around.
Indy: How's this project compare with others you've been involved with?
GS: I've been very lucky to be on some quality projects and work with a lot of great people [before this show]. And they don't even touch this. We got hired to do something and they, kind of, let us run. And now they're writing for us. They give us all the freedom that we need as actors and (laughs) semi-professionals to make it our own.
They've really started to write more for me and give me more stuff. It's not like I'm typecast as the big, dumb blond or anything. You can get in a situation where you're the best friend or you're the athletic asshole or the halfway-decent looking asshole guy or the jerk. I've done that I've done that a bunch of times, actually. That's kind of the way it was in the pilot. But I've been very lucky in that they've given me an opportunity with all these different storylines. I'm biased, but I think, by far, I have the coolest character, with the most to do, with the most depth and that.
Indy: You sound like you're enjoying this run a lot.
GS: Every experience is a little different, but this is our baby. It's like the Little Show That Could. Before I was even cast, it was the last pilot sold to ABC and honestly, it's because the president of ABC loved Beautiful Girls and he was like, "Eh, let's give it a try." And it was kind of an afterthought, essentially.
We came to find out afterwards that there's a few shows every year that they're like, "If it works, great, if not, who cares, it didn't cost us that much." I say "that much" and it's $6 million, but it's relative. And then that season, it didn't even get picked up. It got put on what was called "a hold." And then we didn't know until late that we got picked up for a midseason replacement.
We had just six episodes last year. And then we were still, this year, one of the last shows to be put on the schedule. We weren't even officially on the fall schedule. And we weren't a midseason replacement this year we were a late add. But we keep, and I say this knocking on wood, showing up, doing our job.
When you have a mega-hit like Grey's Anatomy [which October Road followed on Thursdays last season], when 22 million people tune in to it, there's no way you're going to keep all 22 million of those people. And 10 o'clock is tough for the rest of the world that has real jobs ... they stay up until 11 and have to get up at 5:30 [the next day]. That stuff starts to get a little late.
It's a tough time slot to keep people in, but we did a decent job of holding some of that retention off of our lead-in and kind of showing that we had an audience of our own.
Indy: Sounds like you've paid close attention to all this stuff.
GS: Everybody has, because it's part of it, but none more so than me. On Friday, I was getting calls from other castmates, asking, "How did we do?" and "What were our numbers?" because they know that I'm a little more in tune to that. I have a production company, so I'm a little more on that side of it, I guess.
One of the big problems with the entertainment industry is that they forget that there's a whole country between L.A. and New York. And those are the people that I grew up with that are sitting around watching TV with their families. They're the ones that keep shows on the air and they're the ones that show up at Best Buy at 4 o'clock in the morning on Black Friday. There's definitely a perspective that a lot of people in the industry are lacking.
Indy: You think that comes from your upbringing around here?
GS: Yeah, I just think I have a better knowledge of that than most people do. Especially young actors who haven't been around for a long time. They're just out here to get famous and rich real quick.
Indy: So how'd you get involved with the show in the first place?
GS: It's funny. I had made a commitment that year. I said that, "You know, I'm not going to do hour-long television any more. I want to do half-hour." I'd done 7th Heaven for a while. I'd done three hour-long pilots that didn't get picked up. And you never know how that's going to work.
I wanted to [do], and I really enjoy, the live format of a sitcom and making people laugh and being a part of that, and I said, "I'm gonna do that. I don't even want to read any scripts that are hour-long."
And my manager called me one day and said, "I know what you said, but just read this one." And I was like, "No, I don't want to," and he said, "Just read this." An hour later, I called him back and I told him to "F' off because he was right and I loved it and I had to go in on it.
They wanted to see me for Nick, for Bryan Greenberg's character. And I said, "I don't want to do that. I think it's great, but I want to read for Eddie." And they said, "Well, just come in for Nick and if you're not right for it, they'll bring you back for Eddie." I kind of knew how that would work out, and I didn't want to waste it, so I grabbed a script and I picked a couple scenes that I liked from Eddie.
I went into this room and I saw all these guys that had worked way more than me and people I recognized from television and I was like, "Oh, boy ... " And I walked in the door and they said, "We're going to do the first two scenes," and I said, "Actually, I'm not going to read for Nick, I'm going to read for Eddie." And Rosenberg was like, "What are you talking about? We don't even have any scenes for Eddie." And I didn't even know who he was at the time he was just the eccentric fellow in the corner of the room as far as I was concerned.
And I said, "Well, actually, I brought my own," and I handed the reader a couple of pages and I did the scenes, and I was the only person they ever saw for Eddie. I took a shot and I knew I wasn't going to be right for Nick and I honestly didn't even want to read for Nick. Like I said, I'm biased, but I like my character so much. I took a shot and it worked out. It could have backfired, for sure. They could have told me to get the hell out of the room, if they wanted to. But thank God they didn't.
Indy: Tell me a little bit about your production company.
GS: It's called Eleven Eleven Films. We just finished a movie with Forest Whitaker and Jessica Biel that we're excited about. We're hoping to get that one into [the] Sundance [Film Festival]. The first one we did was called Unknown, with Jim Caviezel, Greg Kinnear, Barry Pepper and Bridget Moynahan. But it's impossible without my two partners, there's no doubt. They handle the day-to-day. I couldn't even pretend to be in that business unless I had those guys to help run it.
Indy: And, to think, not too long ago, you were starring in West Side Story as a junior at Manitou High.
GS: That's probably my best work to this day. Probably, yeah.
The year before West Side Story, my brother came up to me, and he was a year older in school, and he said there was a school play and he wanted to know if I wanted to audition for it. He was a junior and I was a sophomore. I honestly didn't even know we had them, and that's kind of shocking because Manitou is such a small school, you'd think I'd have a clue.
But I was like, "Yeah, whatever," and there was a girl that I had a crush on that I knew was going to be in it, so I was like, "Sure, yeah, whatever, it doesn't matter." First of all, I didn't think I'd get a role. Hello, Dolly! was the show we were doing, and my brother and I both did it and I really enjoyed it, like, "This isn't too bad." It was fun, but it was no big deal.
The next year we did West Side Story. My brother played football and was one of the top wrestlers during his time at school, and I was a football and basketball player and we got a couple of our buddies to do it and it kind of became a little bit, like, instead of something where the drama kids hung out.
Then we did West Side Story and it was a blast, and a bunch of the guys that we were friends with came and did it, and it was a great time. And I was like, "Maybe I should look into doing this somehow."
I never thought I would end up doing what I'm doing today. Coming from Manitou, I didn't know anybody in the industry. Nobody else I'd ever known I think maybe one of the directors from our school plays came out here to try to make it as an actor, but it's not easy, man. It's not an easy gig.
I ended up coming to college out here at a small school called Whittier College, and I chose Whittier because, number one, it was small and I wanted to play football somewhere where I wouldn't sit on the bench for five years. That was just inevitable.
I had opportunities all over the country, but I figured, if I was going to fall into acting, I was going to fall into it on the West Coast, as opposed to Michigan or Colorado or wherever else. I was close to going to Western State I took a recruiting trip there. I was going to walk on at [the University of] Michigan. I had a bunch of other opportunities at a bunch of other small Midwest schools. But I focused on a bunch in state and Whittier out here.
And I came out here on a recruiting trip, I saw palm trees and I said, "I'm in, let's do it." And then four years later, my brother transferred out and we graduated together. He was a year older, and he had redshirted at the University of Southern Colorado as a wrestler, so he was already planning on going for five years, so his senior year was my senior year. Then he came out here and we graduated together. And he's the one that got us into this acting business.
George was having lunch with a girlfriend of ours that we grew up with in Manitou, who happened to live out here. And this agent, this Hollywood agent lady, saw him, jumped out of her car, came running over, gave him her card, and that's how we got in the entertainment industry. It was completely luck, or, depending on how you look at it, wrong place at the right time or whatever. (Laughs.)
And she wanted to represent George and wanted nothing to do with me. So I started showing up at his auditions. And that's how that happened. I booked my first job on a show called Everybody Loves Raymond. And the rest is what the hell I've been doing since, strangely enough.
Indy: What's our character Eddie got going on this season?
GS: Some of the big things: At the end of last season, we sort of touched on the relationship between Janet the Planet, the kind of pleasantly plump bartender who's a little atypical of what Eddie normally dated. We explore that relationship a little bit, but the two major storylines are going to be who really is the father of [Laura Prepon's character] Hannah's baby I've got my own opinions about it and then, really, kind of Nick and I picking the pieces up and starting a business together and all the things that happen when two guys who don't know what the heck to do in a business setting are doing.
And one of the big things, obviously, is finding out that our best friend was sleeping with our other best friend's wife, and that really throws a ripple through the dynamic of our group and we essentially have to exile old Ikey. Which I was kind of bummed about because I don't get to work with him that much. I've only had one scene with [Evan Jones, who plays Ikey] this year and he's my favorite character to work with. Hopefully, as time goes on, we get back together, so to speak. He's one of the best actors he's a strange, eccentric fruitcake, don't get me wrong. And he'd probably say the same thing about me. No, he wouldn't say eccentric, he'd probably just call me a meathead. He's one of my favorite actors and one of the most talented actors on the show.
Indy: I loved him as Cheddar Bob in 8 Mile. And that's the thing with a lot of the actors on your show. Even if people don't know all the actors' names, they probably recognize the faces. Like Jay Paulson, who plays Physical Phil, he was great this summer in his recurring role on the show Mad Men.
GS: Jay's actually my other favorite. Jay's excellent. And his stuff on Mad Men was great. He and I were shooting a scene this morning where and I won't tell you why, because it's entertaining but we were both naked, unfortunately. We found each other in our living room, together, naked at the same time, and we weren't too excited about it. So we were walking around set this morning in our bathrobes and nothing else underneath [them], and we walked out to get something to eat and ran into someone who had never seen October Road, but had recognized Jay from Mad Men. And he was like, "Well, great, but tune in to my damn real show. It's on tonight!"
Indy: Has the show been affected by the writers' strike at all?
GS: Everyone's been affected by it. They can't write anything after the deadline. But the initial order for [our show] this season was 13 [episodes]. And, thank God that Scott Rosenberg I hate to give him credit but he got the writing staff together and they wrote all 13 episodes. There's a lot of shows that didn't do that. They were behind the eight ball and they didn't have the organization or whatever it was, so they only had 10 or 11 episodes, and these are shows that even started before us.
We are in the middle of our 11th episode right now, and we've got two and a half left, really. And those are all done and all written, really. It kind of pissed off the other writers in town, because they felt like, "Shut down, don't stockpile scripts." It's a way to kind of stick it to the studio. But the way that our guys looked at it, and I respect them for it, is they look at it as the 160 crew members we have on our show that would have been out of work before Thanksgiving and now have a job through the holidays.
And that's the other thing: I've never been on another set where the crew is as happy as they are on this set. It's not like we're shooting Alias or something that has, day after day, a 15-, 18-hour day I mean, we put in 13, 14, 15 regularly, and we can even longer on a Friday, but there's no fight scenes and special effects but the crew, they work the hardest.
I work every day, but I may only have two or three scenes a day, or one scene a day, and then I go home. But the crew's there when I get there at 6 a.m. or 6:30. The actors come and go, but the crew's there. They make less money, they have mortgages, they have families, they have Christmas presents to buy, and they're the ones that get affected the most by a strike like this.
They're grateful, obviously, but I am, too, because I want a job and I want a paycheck as well, but if you don't shoot an episode, you don't get paid for it. So thank God our writers wrote the show so we can stay in business until January.
Indy: What else have you got going on right now?
GS: I've got a film coming out next year called The Express. I was in Chicago this summer working on it. It's just a brutal movie. We were shooting two units: one through the acting and one for the football. And I was playing a football player, so if I wasn't working on it as an actor that day, I was working on it as a football player. I'd never done a movie where you just continually work. The only days we didn't work were Sundays, and a lot of times, we worked Sundays anyway. It was a blast, it was a fun job, but it was the actual work of it.
Ninety percent of the movie, I had a helmet on. I didn't do hair and makeup, I didn't do any of that crap. I just played football, and I was with 90 guys that were real football players. Since we shot in the Midwest, a lot of these guys were Big Ten guys that had just finished at Illinois or Ohio State or Iowa. Three of the guys that were on our team, our fake little fictional team, were called up to NFL teams. They were real athletes.
Indy: Did your experience from football in high school and college help you get cast?
GS: Well, I was a quarterback in high school, and a receiver in college, and in this movie, I played a linebacker. Sixty years ago, at 200 pounds, I could be a linebacker. Today, I'd get killed.
But it definitely had something to do with it. I had to go read, I had to go through football camp. I did a lot of my own stunts. I definitely had a stunt guy who took some hits for me, but because we were wearing those old two-bar facemasks, if it's a close shot, you can't really hide it. But it was a blast. It felt like I was back in high school playing with my buddies. That's truly what it felt like.
The movie, by the way, is going through test screenings and it's testing as good as any movie in recent history has tested at Universal. The first screening, it tested at a 93 [out of 100], the second at a 94. It's doing really well.
When it comes down to it, who cares about testing, but the director, Gary Fleder, who also directed the pilot of October Road and that had something to do with me getting involved in it, too he's as proud of this movie as any movie he's ever done. And he and I are talking about trying to bring the movie over to Iraq for screenings. George and I, our roommate in college is overseas in the Army in his second stint.
Indy: That'd be awesome of you guys. Thanks for your time, Geoff. But before I let you go, is there anything else you want to say to our readers?
GS: With October Road, the thing that I'm most proud of about is and it was pretty obvious to me that most of our viewers were going to be mostly female, especially coming after Grey's Anatomy and it being kind of a soapy show is how many times I have been out and about, especially when I was in Chicago over the summer working, and I would have men come up to me and say, "By the way, dude, I love your show."
There's more guys in the cast than anything else. It's about a bunch of dudes in a blue-collar town that are just living, and the everyday stuff they go through, and it's really relatable. With a lot of television, like you tune in because it's a good show, but it's really about the storylines and the people and the characters. But not everybody can relate to being a doctor.
In our show, there's somebody in our show that's relatable to anyone out there that watches it. And particular, for me, I love the fact that with guys, their girlfriends or wives force them to watch it, but then they end up liking it because they see a bunch of dudes that are kind of like them and their friends. I love that.

Loch Down
The Frenchman's car drove down the shoddily paved A-82 highway. His headlights penetrated deep into the darkness ahead of him. Pierre Joffre had a very special load in the trunk of his rented car. Something he wanted to dump into Loch Ness, and the sooner, the better. The Master wanted the hacked-up body parts disposed of. Normally speaking, things dumped into the Loch stayed there. The water was five or six degrees Celsius, just above freezing point. Even drowning victims were rarely recovered.
Joffre parked the car a bit off the road, in a small clearing near the water. Making sure no one was around, he popped the trunk. He got out of his car, and reached into his trunk to pull out a burlap sack. He made sure the weights were tied closely to the first sack, and through it into the water. The repeated the ritual for several more sacks, closed the trunk, and prepared to get back in the car when he smelled something strange coming from the water. It smelled like raw sewage mixed with motor oil.
It couldn't be the body parts. He had cooked them in his bathtub of sulfuric acid after hacking them up. Master had told him to do that. Before he could react, a dark shape came from the Loch and splashed towards him. Before Joffre realized it, he was sucked into the rotating jaws of the Loch Ness monster. Nessie, having its stomach full, retreated to the depths.

Barnet 1 v Wrexham 1
The Hive
Camrose Avenue
Attendance : 2,143
Admission : £8 Half price deal - South stand terrace
Weather : Heavy rain in the morning, brightening up in the afternoon.
Game No : 56 New Ground Number : 43
Barnet's move to the Hive Edgware
This move has not been without controversy, firstly the Hive is in Edgware, around 6 miles from Barnet and second the Prince Edward Playing Field (aka the Hive) was originally earmarked as a new ground for Wealdstone FC. The ground was half built but the money ran out in 2004, and the site lay derelict until 2006 when Barnet won the tender from Harrow Borough Council to take over the site initially as their training facility.
Barnet played their first game at the Hive in July this year, but there are some difficulties with the ground. For example the club used planning permission dating from 2008 to build the ground, and applied for retrospective permission to increase the height of the floodlights and the size of the West Stand which backs on to the tube line. That permission was turned down by Harrow Council, so as of September 2013 the club have six months to reduce the size of the stand, and three months to remove the lights. The club have appealed, and I imagine the process will drag on for years.
And here's the irony, Barnet would far rather play in, well Barnet! They have a 10 year lease at the Hive, but the long-term plan is to build a 10,000 capacity stadium back home in Barnet. Will Wealdstone step in and fill the void if Barnet vacant ??? To be continued no doubt.
The offending West Stand
If the games a bore, you can always watch the tube go by instead.
Some famous faces in the crowd - can you name them?
The United Colours of Barnet.
As you can see the floodlights are rather high - luckily there are no dwellings nearby to be effected by the glare. Although this does not appear to have helped Barnet with their planning application.
Meet Benny Hill - he is a big name on the "hopping circuit" (the gentlemen in beige). Can you help him please - he appears to lost his green sports bag ? Even better can you name him ? There is a prize - yes you've guessed it a green sports bag ! Hate to think what lies within that bag.

Resulting in this confrontation, where Davids decided to use a crafty elbow on a Wrexham player.
Edgar Davids to the Barnet Bench "Hey run my bath I'll be off in two minutes"
and true to his word - he was. Oh well, looking on the positive side - it's not everyday you see an ex European Cup Winner sent off for an elbow. Must be a first for the record books.
Wrexham prepare for their free kick
and scored a well deserved equaliser.
The Railway Arms at Edgware Tube Station - what a waste.
Whilst in the area, I took the opportunity to "check in" on Edgware Town's defunct White Lion ground. For your information Edgware Town F.C. were established in 1939, and the club was dissolved at the end of the 2007–08 season due to a lack of funds. The club played in the Isthmian League and the Spartans South Midlands League, famous players include Mark Stein and Dave Beasant. Let's see what I've found for you.
Upon arrival I was greeted by this beast of a machine, but fear not your intrepid reporter ploughed on in the search of the truth.
Sadly the pictures above are all that remains of this classic old ground.
From the signage, it looks like the ground will be re developed for luxury flats for which nobody on a normal salary will be able to afford. Then again, how will the Tesco Express survive....I'm sure they will find a way - payday loans?

Following Kim Tae Hee, Shin Min Ah has become the exclusive spokeperson for Amore Pacific's Hera.
On the 25th, Amore Pacific stated "Style icons of the era actors Shin Min Ah and Jo In Sung are chosen as the new spokepersons for one of the brands under Amore Pacific."
Hera is a premium cosmetics line under Amore Pacific. Before endorsing Hera, Shin Min Ah had been the spokeperson for another brand under Amore Pacific – Lirikos. The signing of Hera spokeperson contract also has the meaning of being promoted.
In 2006, Hera signed 'beautiful female star' Kim Tae Hee with the highest spokeperson fees at that time. The signing and renewing of the contract for five years was a topic back then as it was longest CF contract ever. After Kim Tae Hee's contract ended, Shin Min Ah has become the next spokeperson, proving once again her top advertising model position.
Hera's PR representative said over the phone, "Shin Min Ah is the icon of the era, the female star whom Hera's target group; women in their twenties and thirties wish to be. She is able to express Hera's Contemporary Asian Chic concept well hence we decide to choose her as our spokperson."
Also, Jo In Sung who was discharged from military service in May is now working with Amore Pacific again through this contract. Before his enlistment in 2008, he was the spokeperson for Amore Pacific's Laneige Homme.

Facebook board member and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen tells Reuters that the social network will bring in more than $500 million in revenue this fiscal year. That's far more than some had forecast. eMarketer, for instance, said earlier this year it expected the social network to bring in $230 million in ad revenue (Facebook also makes money via the sale of virtual goods). While Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said repeatedly in recent months that the company's revenue is on track for a 70 percent jump this year, he hasn't detailed how much exactly the company is making.
Andreessen also tells the news service that Facebook could post revenue of more than $1 billion this year if "they pushed the throttle forward on monetization." His optimism does not stop there. He also says the social network will be bringing in "billions of dollars in revenue" in five years. In a separate interview with Fortune, Andreessen gushes that Facebook "will be bigger than Apple."
The irony is that Andreessen skipped on an opportunity to be an angel investor in Facebook. "I probably could have if I had tried hard but I didn't," he tells Reuters. "You have to actually step forward and actually go after it. And things just really happen fast, and Facebook was happening at a super high rate of speed and things just didn

Major Reforms To The Pension Bill
Among all the Government�s plans to reform the Pension Bill, the most controversial by far, is the rising of the state pension age to 68 years. This way, the Government believes, there will no longer be the �trend� of relying on the payments that the state has to make to a person after �a life time� of work.

Earlier today we reported that HTC's official bootloader unlock program on HTCDev.com had been updated to work with the Evo View 4G and the MyTouch 4G Slide. That's true. A few users have found that the update also works with AT&T's HTC Vivid and Verizon's HTC Rezound, though those models don't appear anywhere on HTCDev's documentation. Now the company has come right out and said it: all devices released after September of 2011 are unlockable using the official method.
Presumably this generous policy extends to all future devices as well, at least for the time being. And if that's true, then very well done, HTC. (I say "very well done" because if you write "WOOOOOOO HELL YEAH" they take away your Professional Blogger badge.) The company promised to do so earlier this year and they've followed through, even if they're being somewhat surreptitious about which phones work and which ones don't. This is probably at the behest of AT&T and Verizon, who famously aren't all that down with geeks messing around with their phones. That they bought. With their money.
Since HTC is generally pretty quick to release the source code for their devices, this opens up practically unlimited options for custom ROMs and mods. And since HTC is second only to Samsung in the number of high-end devices it releases and you can pick one up on just about any carrier, that's very good news for advanced users. Get ready for an inundation of custom kernels and ROMs for all recent HTC devices. Motorola: are you watching this?

Strategy is just one piece of the investment puzzle. Execution of this strategy and getting the best possible fills, especially on large orders, is equally important. In the context of the portfolio, we execute orders with the utmost care using one, or a combination of the following:
· A range of order types including – market, limit, stop, stop limit, trailing, bracket
· Multiple time-in-force options such as – day, good-till-cancel, good-till-day, immediate-or-cancel, fill-or-kill, at-the-open, at-the-close
· Custom order properties – add custom information to an outgoing order message (e.g., broker-specific field, algorithm-related properties).
· Built-in execution algorithms allow you to gain better execution prices and minimize market visibility and impact (VWAP, Slicing, Target Position & Trailing Limit)
· Broker-side execution algorithms (VWAP, TWAP, Percent of Volume, Accumulate/Distribute)
· Custom execution algorithms
· Custom alerts and trade suggestions via email or text message, allowing manual confirmation of automatically generated signals
· Multi-account functionality with sub-accounts, managed accounts and fund accounts
· Place orders & record transactions manually
We understand the importance of both implicit and explicit transaction costs on performance and employ pre- and post-trade analysis. We utilize a variety of portfolio management strategies to access sources of liquidity to increase trade execution efficiency. We believe that implicit transaction costs, resulting from changes in liquidity and trading activity, can have a greater impact on return than explicit costs.
BAC never forgets or takes for granted the trust clients place in our capable hands. It is this that motivates us to employ regular risk mitigation techniques to preserve client investments and avoid capital depletion events.
Our up-front, fee-based structure ensures that all fees and motivations are made explicit before any transaction is made.

TuneUp is an iTunes companion tool that will quickly organise, clean up and generally tidy even the largest and most cluttered of iTunes libraries.
Whether you've mislabelled tracks ("Unknown artist" or "track 01"), metadata that's incorrect or missing entirely, it's all very easy to fix. Just drag and drop your songs onto the program, and TuneUp will take an acoustic fingerprint of each one, check this against a database of more than 90 million tracks, and retrieve and set the correct metadata.
A Cover Art option will similarly identify tracks that are missing album art, then search multiple web sources to locate the appropriate artwork for you. This is a little less precise, but TuneUp can display up to four of the best matches, and once you decide which is best, will embed the cover art within your files.
If you accidentally make the wrong choice at some point, and save incorrect metadata, then an Undo option will restore your files original settings.

If you are like me then you may have been under the misapprehension that stopping wrinkles was just a case of good moisturiser and sun protection. I know what we eat has a huge impact on our skin's radiance and moisture and a diet high in junk food is a sure fire way to get pimples and dull skin. Water is key to skin hydration and is needed to flush away toxins. However, with all the good nourishment in the world skin does change as we age, so I thought I would look at how this works and if there is anything we can do about it.
Skin: its more than one layer
The skin is made up of several layers – the one we see being the epidermis; but below this is the dermis. It is the job of the dermis to provide support for the top structure – a bit like the springs in your mattress. However, instead of springs your dermis contains collagen, a protein created by the body and is also found in hair, nails, bones and joints. Collagen provides a framework that firmly holds up the top layer of skin. We also have the protein elastin that help provide elasticity and hyaluronic acid that draws moisture into the area. Hyaluronic acid creates a sort of gel that plumps everything up and helps hydrate the upper layers keeping us looking young and fresh. It is also an antioxidant so it helps to protect the skin from free radical damage and UV rays from the sun.
What happens when we age?
You may be aware that skin has one of the fastest cell turnovers and renewal in the body. We are constantly breaking down old cells and rebuilding new ones. However, as we age our collagen production slows down and when there is not enough to build a firm structure we get a collapse in the top layer; hence the lines and wrinkles. Not only is our collagen production slowed, but the rate of damage to our old cells increases; increased oxidation is a natural part of aging leaving our cells more susceptible to degeneration. This is reflected as skin as dryness and in skin damage.
How can we keep our skin at its best?
In order to slow down oxidative damage increase your intake of antioxidants. This means adding more fresh fruit and vegetable as well as green tea, fish or krill oil, spices such as turmeric and a variety of herbs. Vitamins and minerals that are particularly good antioxidants for skin include vitamin A and carotenes such as Astaxanthin, vitamin C (which is used also used to make collagen), zinc and vitamin E. Of course plenty of water it critical.
We then need to reduce things that are pro oxidative. Smoking is very damaging to the skin and also depletes the body of vitamin C, which we need for collagen production. Other things include alcohol (which dehydrating as well as), processed foods, and environmental pollution – all the stuff that we come into contact with every day.
If our own production of collagen and hyaluronic acid slows down we can supplement the levels. Marine collagen is the same type 1 collagen that our skin produces, so is an effective way to increase levels.
Finally, living in New Zealand means we have to be mindful of sun exposure as it damages and dries out our skin. Wearing sun cream is a must to stop skin aging, as well as avoiding excess sun exposure.

New Metz Mecablitz 15 MS-1 Digital Ensures Balanced and Precise Lighting
Metz, a world leading manufacturer of high performance flash technology, today announced the Mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital, an innovative wireless macro slave flash designed specifically digital photographers. It is the world's only flash with built-in, wireless TTL slave functionality from the most popular camera manufacturers. No matter which digital TTL is used, the Metz 15 MS-1 can be intelligently linked.
The Mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital is fully compatible with digital TTL remote systems from Canon, Nikon/Fujifilm, Pentax/Samsung, Olympus/Panasonic, and Sony, and can be operated as a TTL slave unit that is controlled by the camera's built-in commander mode, a manufacturer's flash with master capabilities, or from a Metz 58 AF-1. Manual flash operation can also be carried out by using a synchronous cable. Additionally, the Mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital learns autonomously when used in the conventional slave mode. Its learning function ensures that the small slave flash is reliably triggered every time by the flash integrated in the camera – even when a ranging pre-flash is used. In this case, the light amount emitted can be varied across six light levels.
Equipped with two individually-controllable, swiveling reflectors integrated in the housing, the new Mecablitz 15 MS-1 Digital wireless macro-flash ensures balanced and precise lighting and maximizes the scope for customizing light arrays in the macro area. With its individually variable reflectors (0°-20°) and the highly-sensitive light distribution, there are virtually no limits to personal creativity.
The Mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital is lightweight and compact and can affix to most standard lenses though the use of a screw-in lens attachment mechanism. The Mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital is sold complete with, 52mm, 55mm, and 58mm adapter rings, a carrying case, as well as a diffuser disc for applications requiring softer light. Optional adapter ring sizes, including 62mm, 67mm, and 72mm, are sold separately as an accessory. Adding to the Mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital's ease of use is an easy-to-read DOT matrix display, which provides the shooter with a readout of current flash settings.
Metz also incorporated the state-of-the-art USB connectivity found on its AF-1 series in the 15 MS-1. The flash's USB connection allows photographers to stay current and effortlessly make firmware updates via the Internet. Previously, flash units needed to be packaged and sent away for servicing in order to be updated with the latest software from camera manufacturers. With the Metz USB interface, shooters can now make such updates from their own computer, ensuring that they will have the most up to date and highest performing flash for each shot and that they will never have to be without a flash.
The Mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital macro-slave flash features a guide number of 15 meters (50 Feet) and for added versatility, is powered by readily available AAA batteries.

What is the National Guide?
The National Guide is a compilation of college credit recommendations of organizational courses or examinations that CREDIT has evaluated. As a resource for higher education, it provides a link between workplace learning and higher education.
Who is listed in the National Guide?
Many organizations in the United States conduct a wide range of high-quality educational programs for their employees or members, but only those who have requested our review and received our recommendation are listed in the National Guide.
What if a course or exam I completed isn't listed in the National Guide?
Courses or organizations that are not listed in the National Guide may not have been evaluated by ACE. The National Guide is constantly being updated as new courses and examinations are evaluated.
What if my organization is listed, but the course or exam I took with that organization is not?
The organization hasn't submitted it to ACE for review.
How do I locate a course?
You can conduct a search by course or exam title, keyword, or organization name.
What are the categories of credit recommendations?
Vocational Certificate: This includes coursework normally found in year-long certificate or diploma programs that are designed to provide students with occupational skills. In many two-year institutions, this type of coursework also is found in curricula leading to associate degrees in technical programs. Course content is specialized, and the accompanying training emphasizes procedural rather than analytical skills.
Lower Division Baccalaureate/Associate Degree: This includes coursework found in programs leading to the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, and Associate in Applied Science degrees, and in introductory-level coursework normally found in baccalaureate programs. The emphasis is on learning basic principles that have broad, judgmental applications.
Upper Division Baccalaureate Degree: This includes coursework that's usually completed during the last two years of a baccalaureate program. The courses generally involve specialization of a theoretical or analytical nature beyond the introductory level.
Graduate Degree: This includes coursework leading to a graduate degree. The courses tend to be oriented toward independent study, original research, critical analysis, and the scholarly and professional application of the specialized knowledge within a discipline.

Pregnancy and the process of childbirth have come a long way in the past century or so, and huge advancements are happening more and more frequently that make pregnancy safer for the mother and the baby. In the mid-1800s, the mortality rate of women during childbirth was greater than 1 in 10, even at some of the world's top hospitals at the time. With modern medicine and hospitals, that number is closer to 1 in 10,000 now. The entire process of pregnancy and giving birth will undoubtedly get even safer as technology and medicine advance further, and pregnancy is also going to change and evolve in other ways besides just safety.
Let's take a look at the future (and present) of pregnancy, including such topics as choosing the sex of your baby, prescreening for diseases, and fertilization techniques that allow couples to have babies though they wouldn't have been able to in the past for numerous reasons.
Current Achievements in Pregnancy
You don't have to look far into the future to find some very interesting advancements that have taken place when it comes to pregnancy. Before we start to look at what's coming up on the horizon, let's discuss what's currently taking place with PGD.
PGD stands for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, also known as embryo screening, which is a process that has been practiced since the 1990s. You can think of this as a type of filtering process in which a three-day-old embryo has its six cells tested to see if it contains any genetic markers that would indicate the potential for disease. Only the embryos that have tested negative for signs of disease would be implanted into the womb of the mother. As such, the likelihood of the baby being born with disease is reduced. This process has been improving, and it opens the doors to all sorts of other options for selective reproduction in which parents could choose other traits for their children as well, such as gender, height, and a lot more.
Let's not forget the 3/4d ultrasound, which gives us a much clearer image of the baby. It wasn't that long ago that there weren't any ultra sound photos at all, but the level of detail we can see today is very impressive.
What's In Store In The Future for Pregnancy?
Undoubtedly, pregnancy is going to become even safer as time passes. Even though it's become much safer than it was, becoming pregnant remains the single most dangerous thing a woman can do, statistically. According to ABC News, approximately 1000 women die each day giving birth, mostly due to bleeding or infections. Safety isn't the only thing that's going to change as the future draws nearer, however, so let's take a look at advancements when it comes to being able to "design" your baby, artificial wombs and more.
Designer Babies
In this day and age it's possible to customize everything from a cellphone case, to a t-shirt, to a home. What's next, designer babies? Yes, quite possibly, but it doesn't quite work how many people might imagine. It's not a matter of filling out a checklist that says "I want a male baby that grows up to be six feet tall, with blonde hair, a lean body type, and a fondness for mathematics and science." That's just not how genetics work, however if you recall the process of "filtering" embryos to select the ones that are disease free, the process of choosing other traits could work similarly.
We aren't there yet, scientifically, and it poses a lot of moral questions as well. Some argue this is creating even more of a barrier between the haves and the have-nots, where wealthy people will be able to selectively design "premium" babies that have all sorts of advantages, essentially rigging the genetic lottery in their favor. In general, people are a lot more comfortable with screening for diseases than screening for blonde hair or pretty eyes.
In some countries, a similar process can be used to help ensure that the mother gives birth to whichever gender she chooses for her child. Many people from Australia and around the world will travel to California, where this in vitro fertilization process costs roughly $30,000, but the price tag doesn't matter for parents who are desperate to choose the gender of their baby. It's worth nothing that there are no guarantees that this process will work.
Easier To Get Pregnant
Many couples still struggle with fertility. They're not concerned with pre-screening for diseases or choosing exactly how they want their baby to look, their major concern is simply to bring new life into this world. When one partner suffers from infertility, it can cause a major strain on even the healthiest of relationships. Here's what Alan Trounson has said on the topic, "I think it will be possible that we'll be able to extend the fertile period for women by producing germ cells from iPS technology, or by a variant of nuclear transfer, so somatic cells [which make up most of the body's cells] become germ cells and are refreshed genetically."
This will make the fertilization process easier for some couples who are struggling with it, but as with most things when it comes to changing how nature intended pregnancy to work, there are moral concerns. On the topic of morality and ethics, Mr. Trounson says, "Ethics keeps moving. What was once seen as dangerous goes on to be seen as within the confines of acceptable risk. Probably the major development in the field will come from something we've never thought about."
The End of Infertility – Artificial Wombs, Eggs and Sperm
As we blaze trails medically and scientifically in the 21st century, parenthood and raising their own children is becoming a possibility for couples who previously wouldn't have had the opportunity. Homosexual couples, for example, currently have to find a woman who is willing to carry their child for them, however the idea of artificial wombs is making a huge splash. As you can imagine, similar to most of the things we've discussed thus far, this is a controversial topic. However, when you bear in mind the fact that pregnancy is the most common cause of death amongst women, and the fact that an artificial womb offers a solution for women with fertility difficulties, it's likely only a matter of time until this concept is widely accepted in society.
Final Thoughts on the Future of Pregnancy
Nobody has a crystal ball and we can't predict the future, but as the human race moves forward, there's no doubt that the way women get pregnant and the ways that they are able to deliver their babies are going to continue to evolve and change. One hundred years ago, who would have predicted what the face of pregnancy would look like today? Now fast forward another 100 years, who knows what's in store?

Silver District Arizona
The Silver District Project is an advanced-stage exploration project located in southwest Arizona.
- Magellan's Silver District Project in La Paz County holds promising potential for expansion of a historic 16 million ounce silver resource, and development of a silver mine with by-products fluorspar, barite and lead-zinc.
- The property consists of over 2,000 acres of patented and unpatented mining claims and an Arizona state exploration permit, and covers all of the important historic mines and prospects in the Silver District.
- Mineralization is controlled by three principal sub-parallel north-northwest trending epithermal vein systems cutting Tertiary volcanic rocks underlain by basement metamorphic rocks. The three vein structures extend over a collective strike length of eight miles. Potential ore-grade deposits containing silver, lead-zinc, fluorspar and barite occur along the veins in pod-like bodies commonly 15-50 feet or more wide and hundreds of feet long.
- From 1973-1992, New Jersey Zinc Company and Orbex Minerals Ltd. and its successor companies drilled 465 shallow holes for an aggregate length of 62,866 feet, conducted metallurgical test work and carried out scoping studies.
- In 1991-1992, using polygonal methods, silver mineralization was estimated as 3.56 million tons grading 4.46 opt silver (15.9 million contained ounces silver), and fluorspar mineralization was estimated as 2.3 million tons grading 14.5% CaF2 (328,450 tons contained fluorite). Included within this mineralization, substantial tonnages grade 17.0% barite (BaSO4) and 3.57% lead-zinc. These historic estimations of mineralization do not constitute a reserve estimation.
- Magellan's first priority in advancing the Silver District Project will be to conduct additional drilling with the objective of expanding the known resources. Previous drilling on the veins was entirely in the oxide zone and extended only to 130 ft shallow open pit depth. Mineralization is open below that depth. There appears to be excellent potential to increase resources with deeper drilling of oxide and possibly underlying sulphide mineralization. There also is promising potential to expand the near-surface oxide mineralization through drilling strike extensions of known deposits and previously untested vein segments.
- In 2014, Magellan drilled three holes, one of which was designed to confirm results of historic drilling. Magellan's hole PA-01 intersected 90 feet grading 6.05 opt silver (including 10 feet of 17.06 opt silver), which compares favourably to the historic result. PA-01's 90-foot intercept also returned previously unreported zinc-lead values averaging 4.71% zinc and 1.56% lead over the 90 feet, including 10 feet grading 8.35% zinc and 4.02% lead.
- Conceptual development schemes by past operators have involved multiple open pits feeding a central mill. Flow sheet designs employ fine grinding and cyanide leaching to recover silver, and conventional flotation to recover fluorspar and barite.
- Substantial additional work will be required in order to determine the feasibility of developing a new mine. Among other items, the work will need to include drilling, reserve estimation, metallurgical studies, mine and plant design and engineering, marketing studies and assessment of permitting issues. Until that work and a positive feasibility study is concluded, there can be no assurance that the property contains commercially recoverable minerals.

text: Dan Vorhaus has a great post in Genomics Law Report outlining recommendations made by a recent NIH-CDC workshop on the scientific foundations of personal genomics. The workshop included key stake-holders from academia, policy advisory groups and the personal genomics industry.The recommendations from the workshop seemed on-target to me, and I was particularly pleased to see explicit recognition of the notion that consumer genomics may provide personal utility even if its clinical utility is marginal - in other words, that genetic information can still have a positive effect on a person's life even if its direct health benefits are small or non-existent. The workshop proposed the generation of objective metrics to assess the personal utility of personal genomic tests, which seems as though it would be challenging but valuable.In a previous life I worked in a lab providing molecular diagnoses for children with muscular dystrophy, and it was clear from discussions with clinicians there that a formal genetic diagnosis could have massive emotional benefits for patients and their families, even when it made no difference (or even worsened) the patient's clinical prognosis. It will be very interesting to see the degree to which this also applies to the higher-uncertainty information provided by genomic risk profiles for common diseases. Subscribe to Genetic Future.

As it is "election year" and many people do not see any point in voting, I want to possibly give some people an actual reason to vote. It can feel like a losing proposition to participate in a presidential election where the basic results are already decided by the media long before the election ever takes place. Our "American" way of life is going down the tubes fast economically, honesty and honor in politics has become a thing of the past. The Constitution is scoffed at by high ranking people with an agenda, the police state is in full swing, possibly even in the first stages of martial law without our notification, our country being stolen and controlled by traitors and evil doers. It makes a body feel quite helpless in the face of all these things. HOWEVER, things may not always be as they seem on the surface, as has been pointed out before.
We DO have a chance to help decide how things go within our own small communities by VOTING for a SHERIFF who has the guts and honor to stand up for the Constitution he swears to uphold, and the people who VOTED for him.
The County Sheriff is OBLIGATED to work as a representative and protector of the people. He is the only law enforcement officer in each county who is actually VOTED into office. And as such he has certain powers that other law enforcement officers do not, IF he chooses to exercise them. These powers apparently extend far beyond what we normally assume.
A County Sheriff takes an oath to serve and protect the people "from enemies, both foreign and domestic. He is voted into office by the people to represent them in regards to the higher powers of the government. His oath is to uphold the Constitution, but actually living up to the oath takes COURAGE, and the knowledge of what it actually means. This oath to follow the Constitution is more than just some words to be repeated at swearing in time!!! Any prospective candidate for sheriff needs to study and comprehend this document before swearing to uphold it. He must have the intelligence, insight, courage and morals to be able to follow this oath properly and without bias. He should educate himself as to not only what his duties are, but as to what he legally HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO in any situation. And every single one of us should at very least educate ourselves in these matters as well, so that we can be more able to hold our elected officials accountable.
Here is an excellent video which underscores the responsibilities and rights of a county sheriff. Watch and learn.
