After Wednesday's big gains, the market didn't do much on Thursday. It was a textbook consolidation day, as the markets literally went sideways. The S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) and Nasdaq (NASDAQ:QQQ) both closed unchanged, while the Dow (NYSEARCA:DIA) eked out an 18-point win.
Oil (NYSEARCA:USO) was basically flat, and there wasn't a whole lot else going on either. After big gains earlier in the week, the international markets flattened out.
The markets appear very much to be in "wait and see" mode. With a big move in oil likely next week, and earnings season picking up pace, there will be action soon enough. But for now, things are quiet.
With that in mind, today's Briefing is devoted to a bigger-picture topic. How will changes in nutritional science and dogma affect the food industry going forward? For a sector that gets a lot of space in many conservative investors' portfolios, it's a tasty question indeed.
Fat Is Back
There are few fields more controversial and widely debated than nutrition science. They advise not to bring up politics or religion on a first date. You could easily throw in nutrition as well - a conversation about paleo diets or veganism can derail an otherwise pleasant evening.
In recent years, there has been a broad shift in the direction of the field. The previous generation held a generally pro-carbohydrate and anti-fat view of the world. Cholesterol was held to be the big evil; heart disease was soaring, and it was people's love of red meat, dairy products, and fatty dishes that was thought to be leading the way.
This was an era that demonized the common egg - yolks were to be worried about. A huge move toward chicken, turkey, and other leaner meats ensued, along with low-fat, higher-sugar, plant-based foods.
But those conclusions have come under increasing fire in recent years. The evidence linking cholesterol to heart disease has been significantly weakened. Red meat's reputation is slowly starting to recover. Eggs have gotten themselves largely off the naughty list.
While saturated fat remains a questionable ingredient for many people, another trend has picked up steam - there's been a move to ban trans fats and cut down on artificial fat substitutes. While butter was under fire, people are now wondering if the replacement - margarine - is worse than the original sin.
In any case, this trend back toward animal fats and away from the previous generation of "healthier" artificial foods is about to make another big leap.
On Tuesday, results of an extensive nutritional study were published an astonishing 40 years after the survey was completed. According to the Washington Post:
The fuller results appeared Tuesday in BMJ, a medical journal, featuring some never-before-published data. Collectively, the fuller results undermine the conventional wisdom regarding dietary fat that has persisted for decades and is still enshrined in influential publications such as the U.S. government's Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
The study was carried out with institutionalized patients in Minnesota. The researchers fed the group two different diets. One followed the standard American diet, while the other was fed a low-fat diet aimed at lowering cholesterol levels and controlling heart disease. The article continues...:
Just as researchers expected, the special diet reduced blood cholesterol in patients. And while the special diet didn't seem to have any effect on heart disease, researchers said they suspected that a benefit would have appeared if the experiment had gone on longer.
There was "a favorable trend," they wrote, for younger patients. Today, the principles of that special diet - less saturated fat, more vegetable oils - are recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the government's official diet advice book.
The trial's early results were turned into gospel. That "favorable trend" was good enough to influence the American diet for decades. Doctors and nutritionists would advocate a similarly low-fat, higher-carb diet, based in good part on the results of the Minnesota experiment.
However, there was more to the story. The full data of the experiment, finally released this week, show that the recommended advice was, in fact, probably mistaken. The survey would go on to show the opposite result, as the article continued...:
Yet the fuller accounting of the Minnesota data indicates that the advice is, at best, unsupported by the massive trial. In fact, it appears to show just the opposite: Patients who lowered their cholesterol, presumably because of the special diet, actually suffered more heart-related deaths than those who did not.
Before you rush out to buy a pound of bacon and eat it in one sitting, do be aware that nutrition science remains complex. We can't definitively say higher-fat, lower-carb diets are the way to go. But the evidence continues to lean toward meat and dairy products being relatively healthful. The recent advice advising great caution regarding sugar intake will find more support in the wake of this new information.
Investing Implications Of The Nutritional Shift
For investors, the overall trend in nutrition is probably, on net, not helpful. Commodity food products don't make a lot of money. There's not a great deal of profit to be had selling non-branded fruits and vegetables. Meat and dairy may be somewhat more profitable, but they aren't big profit centers.
Big Food has been making money selling people substitutes for old foods that have been demonized. Instead of salad dressings using normal oil, you get a no-fat salad dressing involving a lot of sugar and chemicals that can be sold at a high price. A reluctant customer, seeing the "heart-healthy" claim, pays up.
Or take something like Smart Balance. It was a key part of Boulder Brands' (formerly BDBD) strategy. Already, doubt was seeping in - perhaps the best butter-like substance was, in fact, humble old 100% cow's milk butter after all. Boulder Brands stock plunged as its butter substitute lost interest, before finally getting taken over by Pinnacle Foods (NYSE:PF) recently.
A lot of these alternative and supposedly healthier products are both more expensive and (generally thought to be) less tasty than the original products they replaced. Few people switched to cooking in canola oil because they thought it tasted better than pork fat, for example. But the nutrition gurus said to avoid lard, so a market opportunity opened.
Many of these new product areas will likely diminish in size. I'd be very wary of owning companies whose reason for existence is in offering a "healthier" alternative to a traditional food product. Current nutritional trends bode very poorly for these sorts of fad products.
On the upside, there are some ways to play the reemerging trend toward fat consumption. The easiest way is through commodity producers in the space. In eggs, for example, you have Cal-Maine Foods (NASDAQ:CALM) and Mexican firm Bachoco (NYSE:IBA).
If sugar replaces fat as the primary dietary evil of the next generation, as appears increasingly likely, you'll see things like omelets make a huge return to fashion.
Meat producers also stand to see large market expansion. WH Group (OTCPK:WGHPY), which bought out American giant Smithfield Foods, is one clear play. Among meat-focused producers still listed on a major US exchange, Sanderson Farms (NASDAQ:SAFM), Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN), and Pilgrim's Pride (NYSE:PPC) all come to mind.
If more calorie consumption is to come from meat and dairy rather than grains and sugars going forward, this will also offer huge upside for the grain farming industry. This may sound counterintuitive. However, since meat requires far more calories in per calories of food produced - it's much less efficient - a more meat-based human food supply will markedly boost corn (NYSEARCA:CORN) and soybean (NYSEARCA:SOYB) demand. This could be good news for companies like Archer-Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM).
A more fat-filled diet helps a few specialty companies. Among them would be those such as producers of high-fat healthy natural foods. Avocado distributor Calavo Growers (NASDAQ:CVGW) and nut producers such as John B. Sanfilippo (NASDAQ:JBSS) come to mind.
Finally, the more general trend toward natural rather than processed foods helps one other firm in particular: McCormick & Co. (NYSE:MKC), the spice and flavors giant, stands to benefit greatly if current nutritional and cooking trends continue.

A veteran Nigerian dancehall star, John Asiemo, popularly known as Daddy Showkey, has narrated how a ghastly accident almost ended his music career and left him bedridden for three years.
The musician was involved in an accident while returning from the birthday party of fellow singer, Olu Maintain, in 2007.
His music career suffered a setback following the accident that adversely affected his spine.
The incident forced the fun-loving singer to quit the music scene for a while.
Just as he was planning a big come-back, he was forced to quit the scene for a second time after he narrowly escaped the assassin’s bullet two times in 2011.
The ‘Galala’ crooner shared his experience in an Instagram live chat that was shared by Fasanmi Abiola, via Facebook.
In the video chat, the singer regretted that some of the friends who benefitted from him before the accident abandoned him.
Describing how he was ignored by his friends, the former acrobat said they (his friends) asked their security men to deny him entrance to their homes or offices.
“When I come back, the people wey go come meet me, I go dash the millions, when I go their house, they go tell their gateman make them lock gate, make the gateman tell me say dem no dey,” he said in Pidgin English.
He also said the doctor who treated him told him that he should no longer continue with his ghetto dance up upon his discharge from the hospital.
This, he said, forced him to relocate to Warri where he had to learn a new business and was paid a salary.
“When I came back from abroad, the doctor advised me to stop dancing and singing. I had to tell my friends that I was going to Warri, Delta. I began to struggle again. I started working with a man and started working as a labourer carrying a pan. I forgot that I was Daddy Showkey. All these happened in 2010,” he said.
The singer also revealed that his return to limelight began after making N3m in profit from a business.
“I sold my pride. Many people were laughing at me without knowing what I was going through. But I was optimistic that I would rise again,” he explained.
Daddy Showkey began his entertainment circuit in 1976 as an acrobat who entertained people from street to street for a small fee.
He would later delve into other forms of entertainment such as dancing and singing.
Even though the artiste may not be as popular as he was in the 1990s, his loyalty to his Ajegunle roots has never been in doubt.
He has over the years proven himself a worthy ambassador of A.J City as Ajegunle is popularly called, by using his music to draw attention to its potential and the condition of the residents.
Unfortunately, Ajegunle no longer boasts talented artistes it once produced such as Cashman Davies, Baba Fryo, Daddy Fresh, Mad Melon, and Mountain Black, except Oristefemi.

Systems Metabolic Enginering, edited by Christoph Wittmann and Sang Yup Lee “sits at the crossroads of being an introductory book providing an overview of the field and a handy desk-reference for state-of-the-art case studies for the expert metabolic engineer”. Read this book review by Hal Alper.
Systems Metabolic Engineering by Christoph Wittmann and Sang Yup Lee (Editors), Springer, 2012, 387 pages. ISBN 978-94-007-4534-6
Prof. Hal S. Alper email@example.com*, * Department of Chemical Engineering, Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology, The University of Texas at Austin, TX, USA
The field of systems metabolic engineering aims to merge traditional metabolic engineering paradigms with a systems-level understanding of cellular function [1, 2]. This capacity has empowered metabolic engineers to rapidly produce a plethora of new molecules in cellular systems . In this vain, it is timely that Christoph Wittmann and Sang Yup Lee have co-edited a contributed book titled “Systems Metabolic Engineering” recently published by Springer. Both Christoph and Sang Yup are pioneers in the field of systems metabolic engineering and together, they have compiled a contemporary overview of the field. This eleven-chapter book is individually authored by prominent names in the field. The book starts with several chapters that highlight essential tools of systems metabolic engineering and concludes with several vignettes in the form of case studies across six distinct organisms/cell types. The book sits at the crossroads of being an introductory book providing an overview of the field and a handy desk-reference for state-of-the-art case studies for the expert metabolic engineer.
The book starts with four chapters highlighting fundamentals of genome-scale models (Chapter 1), the development of kinetic models of metabolism (Chapter 2), omics technologies along with a case study of comparative omics (Chapter 3), and an overview of synthetic biology approaches and DNA assembly technologies (Chapter 4). These chapters are written by experts in the field including Bernhard Palsson, Sang Yup Lee, Hiroshi Shimizu, and Sven Panke. While these chapters all provide a great fundamental overview of technologies in the field, I would have personally started the book with the omics chapter as it forms the basis for the data input needed in genome-scale metabolic modeling. Chapter 2 is a comprehensive chapter that provides in-depth derivations for basic metabolic modeling. I particularly like how this chapter starts from fundamentals of reaction kinetics and builds toward large-scale models and data-fitting. I will certainly be pointing people in the field to this chapter to learn about the fundamentals of metabolic modeling. In this regard, I feel that a novice to the field would prefer to see Chapter 2 before Chapter 1, as Chapter 1 jumps quickly into terminology and assumes an implicit understanding of stoichiometric modeling. Nonetheless, the content of these chapters is contemporary and comprehensive and provides a great state-of-the-art overview of tools and methodologies for systems metabolic engineering.
The second part of the book focuses on individual case-studies sorted by cell type, including Escherichia coli (Chapter 5), Corynebacterium glutamicum (Chapter 6), Clostridium acetobutylicum (Chapter 7), Penicillium chrysogenum (Chapter 8), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Chapters 9 and 10), and mammalian cell systems (Chapter 11). Once again, these chapters are authored by experts in the field, such as Sang Yup Lee, Christoph Wittmann, Terry Papoutsakis, Sef Heijnen, Jens Nielsen, Akihiko Kondo, and Greg Stephanopoulos. Since these chapters are each individually authored, they vary in scope and delivery. Some of these chapters provide a broad overview of many experiences related to engineering one organism (for example, Sang Yup highlights several of his triumphs in metabolically engineering E. coli to produce products from chemicals to fuels to pharmaceuticals in Chapter 5). Other chapters provide extensive detail and data for one particular phenotype of interest (such as Chapter 7, which discusses stress response and tolerance in C. acetobutylicum using a systems approach). Chapter 8 illustrates the significant amount of work involved to make large-scale, dynamic models and merge these models with the principles of metabolic control analysis. I tend to prefer the chapters with this latter flavor as this provides a detailed account of the trials-and-tribulations of systems metabolic engineering. This section concludes with a window into the future in Chapter 11 where systems level metabolic flux analysis meets cancer metabolism. Collectively, these chapters provide authoritative overviews that highlight success in both understanding and engineering organisms. These chapters also provide a great overview of the literature (with Chapter 9 having over 380 references cited). Thus, these chapters provide great overviews for novices in the field to obtain up-to-date information for their organism of choice. I particularly like how the editors opted to separate these case-studies by organism as it provides a logical intellectual breakdown.
Overall, Systems Metabolic Engineering edited by Christoph Wittmann and Sang Yup Lee provides an excellent, up-to-date overview of the field. They combine the expertise of many leading research groups across the world to deliver a compelling, authoritative discussion of systems metabolic engineering. This book will be an easy read for professors, researchers, and students. Moreover, this book contains the overview necessary for those new to the field, yet the detail and examples relevant to those who are long-time practitioners. In conclusion, this book is a must read for those interested in systems metabolic engineering.

The cruciferous family of vegetables has generated a lot of interest in the health world due to their cancer-fighting compounds. This leads many gardeners to wonder what are cruciferous vegetables and can I grow them in my garden. Good news! You probably already grow at least one (and likely several) types of cruciferous veggies. Cruciferous vegetables belong to the Cruciferae family, which mostly contains the Brassica genus, but does include a few other genera. In general, cruciferous vegetables are cool weather vegetables and have flowers that have four petals so that they resemble a cross.
In most cases, the leaves or flower buds of cruciferous vegetables are eaten, but there are a few where either the roots or seeds are also eaten. Cruciferous vegetables are unique because they are rich in sulfur-containing compounds called glucosinolates which support detoxification and indole-3-carbinol which greatly reduces the risk of breast, colon and lung cancer.
Here is a list of the cruciferous vegetables:
- Bok Choy
- Brussel Sprouts
- Collard Greens
- Mustard greens

Honda said today that it will cut its annual profit targets by over half after reporting that its profits fell nearly 90 percent in the latest quarter due to rising costs, falling demand, and a stronger yen. Honda’s net profit for the Oct.-Dec. period was 20.24 billion yen ($224.9 million USD) down from 200 billion yen a year earlier.
“The results were a lot better than expected. Honda is doing well, relative to the other Japanese car makers,” Credit Suisse auto analyst Koji Endo told the Associated Press.
Honda has now cut its profit target for the fiscal year ending March by 57 percent to $80 billion yen ($888.9 million USD) – down from 185 billion yen. Revenue target was lowered by 3 percent to 10.1 trillion yen.
During the latest quarter, Honda sold fewer cars in its major markets (North America, Europe and Japan), but reported a strong growth in Asian countries. Honda plans to proceed with the announced job and production cuts.

The Vibro-wind energy harvester designed in various geometric shapes and sizes. The ultimate aim is to collect the samples from various design and to avoid designing harvester for analysis in the future, the prediction model has been applied on collected samples. The data has been collected as physical properties of a harvester, oscillation frequency, and vibration parameters. Based on the physical properties the neural network back-propagation model predicted the vibration parameters and frequency. The model has been evaluated with Mean Square error Value (MSE) and Mean Absolute error value which are found as 0.005826 and 0.07 respectively.

District uses reserve funds for after-school program
Published: Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 8:01 a.m.
It seemed like any other day when the final bell rang Tuesday at Fort McCoy School.
Some kids streamed along sidewalks to the car line for a ride home with parents; others scurried to buses and a quick escape from school for the evening.
A few students strolled into the cafeteria for extended day care, while a dozen football players joked while awaiting their coach's arrival.
But for about 30 students, Tuesday was much different. They walked to the other end of the cafeteria, took a seat on steps leading to the school stage and waited for administrators to hand them after-school schedules.
They were the few, the proud, and the first to enroll in Fort McCoy's after-school program, which is part of the school district's $6 million plan to boost student achievement by providing extra instruction after the final bells ring and during summer.
The scene at Fort McCoy will be playing out this week at schools all over Marion County. And while officials are confident about the program's academic merit, they realize that only time will tell whether the funding mechanism for all of this - raiding almost 40 percent of the district's reserve funds - was the right way to go.
It wasn't the district's first choice. Officials asked the School Board to pass a critical-needs tax - an additional 0.25 mills on property tax bills.
In addition to after-school work for middle and high school students, the $6 million the tax was expected to bring in would pay for summer classes for elementary school students - plus transportation for all students receiving the extra instruction. The classes target reading and math achievement.
Board members Ron Crawford and Jackie Porter voted against the extra tax, making the final vote 3-2. It needed at least four votes to pass.
Crawford and Porter didn't want to burden residents with another tax. The other three board members said the tax was needed until the economy rebounded.
After the tax was voted down, Superintendent of Schools Jim Yancey asked the board to use some of the district's $16 million reserve funds. That proposal passed unanimously, leaving the district with about $10 million for emergencies.
The goal is to find a way to cut corners and build the reserves back up. The three board members who supported the extra tax - Judi Zanetti, Sue Mosley and Bobby James - fear that when federal stimulus money fades after 2010-11, that missing $6 million may be needed for core operations.
After all, the School District only averted laying off 522 first- and second-year teachers this year because of the federal money.
But with the $6 million in extra tax money not coming, tapping the reserves was a fiscal gamble that everyone thought was worth taking.
"We're being held to a higher accountability by the state, and that means we have to change what we are doing, offer something different, or both," district spokesman Kevin Christian said.
Most of the middle and high schools will launch after-school programs early this week. A few, like Fort McCoy School, wanted to work out the kinks last week.
"I need help because I am intensive reading," said Brandon Kempf, 13, a seventh-grader at Fort McCoy who asked his parents if he could attend.
Brandon said his parents wanted to get him a tutor, but few were willing to make the long drive to his home in the Ocala National Forest.
Brandon said that because of the economy and cost of gas, his parents jumped at the chance for him to get the extra help - and free transportation home, to boot.
Since every school and population makeup are different, district administrators let each principal decide how to structure the program.
Start and end times vary, depending on that school's hours. Days of operation also vary.
Principals agree that the most important facet of the program is that the district is providing transportation.
Fort McCoy, a school for students in kindergarten through eighth grade, will offer three 30-minute blocks of instruction to middle-schoolers from 3:30-5 p.m.
One block will be recreation. The other two blocks will be aimed at a child's biggest needs. The school will offer a computer lab for students who need research time.
"This does give the kids some excellent opportunities," principal Rob Hansel said.
Rob Strausser, a Fort McCoy paraprofessional who will soon finish his degree in education, helped Tuesday with volleyball, basketball and football in the gym.
Why are the kids playing sports? Students taking intensive reading classes during the regular school day do not get physical education. The after-school fun time helps motivate them.
"A lot of the kids need an extra boost," he said.
Lake Weir Middle principal Mike Kelly said the school's morning intramural program will be moved to afternoon as part of the after-school package.
Kelly said the program, called "Seventh Period," will run from 3:30-5 p.m. Schools have six periods of classes, leaving no room to make up failing classes.
The seventh period will target students who are struggling and falling behind. These students will get 30 minutes each of math, reading and physical education.
"It will be a unit recovery program," Kelly said.
Middle school students must have 12 units, three each in math, language arts and science, to advance to high school.
Like his counterpart at Fort McCoy, Kelly said it is important to reward these students with some recreation time for staying after school to get help in math and reading. For many principals, like Kelly, the problem will be whether they can convince the target group to attend.
"It's scary right now because we are not sure how many kids will show up," he said.
Osceola Middle principal John McCollum III said his school will devote the first half of the program, which will run from 1:45-4 p.m., to recreation and technology.
"After six blocks of school, they first need some recreation time," McCollum said, adding that they will offer activities like four-square and Frisbee golf.
Then they will have about an hour of academic studies that will focus on the FCAT, using a Kaplan-based reading and math programs.
McCollum invited 250 students. They first chose students who were unit-deficient and those who have been struggling and do not get an elective block.
The principal is anticipating about 70 will show up Monday, allowing him to open the program up to other children.
McCollum said since report cards came out Friday , he believes more parents will want to use the program.
"They will be wanting to find something to help them," he said. "We are excited about this. We have been waiting for the opportunity to target kids who need this kind of help."
Vanguard High launched its program Monday.
It's aimed at helping students graduate on time. It is called credit recovery. The students will use a computer lab to work on the areas where they struggle.
Principal Rick Lankford said his school will offer traditional math and language classes after school. The program lasts from 3-4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
"We're hoping to catch them up," Lankford said. "We're excited and hope students will take advantage of it."
At some point, high schools plan to add classes for advanced students.
Fort King Middle School principal Wayne Livingston said the school programs will run from 3:40-5:30 p.m. and will include math, reading, homework and FCAT testing practice.
He expects 150 students to attend, or about 12.5 percent of the school enrollment.
Principal Jane Ashman sent a letter to Dunnellon Middle parents requiring students who were not proficient on reading and math tests to attend the after-school program.
Parents who don't want their child to participate can opt out be sending a letter to Ashman. Other school administrators sent letters inviting students.
Ashman took a more direct tact with parents because she hopes parents will want their children to get the extra help.
At Dunnellon Middle, the program will run from 4-6 p.m.
She noted her program will provide snacks and educational, yet fun, activities.
"We believe this will really help the students," she said.

You don’t live with the Kardashians for more than 20 years without picking up a couple of style tips along the way.
Case in point: the killer long-sleeve Herve Leger bandage dress Caitlyn Jenner wore for a night out in New York City on Monday night. The 65-year-old has clearly been taking notes from stepdaughter Kim Kardashian, who at one time had a Herve Leger dress for every possible occasion.

Burlington Market Supply Continues To Improve
A total of 265 resale transactions were recorded in Burlington in June, down by 30.1% versus the 379 units sold in June 2016. At the same time, new listings in June totalled 495 – up by 14.8% compared to June 2016. This brought total active listings by month end to 519 units – up by a whopping 74.2% versus last year. Despite this surge, inventory still lags the latest 10-year end of June average of 599 units by about 13%. The current market appears to be in a state of flux that often follows major policy announcements pointed at the housing market.
On one hand, purchase intent in the Burlington market remains strong, but a chunk of these would-be buyers are remaining on the sidelines waiting to see the full impact of the Ontario Fair Housing Plan. On the other hand, many existing home owners are listing their homes because they feel that price growth may have peaked. The end result has been a market with improving supply and moderating annual price growth.
The average selling price for a resale home in Burlington in June was $752,071 – up by a healthy 10.2% versus the $682,258 average price in June 2016. That said, prices are off substantially from their high of $837,719 which was recorded just last month. An increasingly better supplied market and a pause in demand have combined to create some moderation in price growth. Despite the recent pullback in prices, the overall price gain in 2017 remains highly significant.
With the year now half over, the year-to-date (January thru June) average price increase for all property types in Burlington remains at an eye-popping 23.2%. That translates into a home equity gain of over $148,000 for the average Burlington homeowner. Overall, the market appears to be heading back to a more balanced situation with supply starting to return to more normal levels and with the expectation that the recent pause in buying activity will be short-lived.

Thailand (2005): HIV/AIDS TRaC Study among Injecting Drug Users in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Chiang Rai First Round
Contributors: Montira Inkochasan, John Hetherington
... Tracking surveys serve as tools to inform programming by routinely collecting data from cross-sections of populations at risk for HIV/AIDS and other adverse health outcomes. This survey among injecting drug users (IDUs) aimed to: 1) identify and describe segments of the population in terms of needle sharing at last injection; 2) understand the needle sharing behaviors of IDUs; 3) explore the sexual behaviors and condom use of IDUs; and 4) apply study findings to interventions designed for reducing the risk of HIV transmission from needle sharing among IDUs. Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) was used to collect data among 339 IDUs aged 15 to 45 who live or work in urban areas in Bangkok, Muang Chiang Mai District, and Muang Chiang Rai District. A screening questionnaire and main questionnaire served as survey tools. The questionnaire collected information on background characteristics, opinions about needle-sharing practices, personal drug use and sharing practices, beliefs and knowledge about HIV infection, sexual practices and condom use, and exposure to PSI products and services. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify significant factors associated with needle sharing. Simple frequencies were run on descriptive data to permit monitoring of project indicators.
Replication data for: Setting the Agenda: Responsible Party Government in the US House of Representatives
Contributors: Gary W. Cox, Mathew D. McCubbins
... Scholars of the U.S. House disagree over the importance of political parties in organizing the legislative process. On the one hand, non-partisan theories stress how congressional organization serves members' non-partisan goals. On the other hand, partisan theories argue that the House is organized to serve the collective interests of the majority party. This book advances a partisan theory and presents a series of empirical tests of that theory's predictions (pitted against others). The evidence demonstrates that the majority party seizes agenda control at nearly every stage of the legislative process in order to prevent bills that the party dislikes from reaching the floor.

Hilary Duff & Family: Saturday Lunch Date
Hilary Duff, her husband Mike Comrie, and their son Luca went for lunch in West Hollywood, CA on Saturday (Oct. 26).
The Flock of Dudes actress was dressed in a black blouse and leather leggings while holding the 1-year-old. Comrie followed behind with her bag and Luca’s penguin backpack.
After, the family showed their support for Duff’s older sister Haylie at a signing for her new cookbook Real Girl’s Kitchen.
“My dad gave me my great-grandmother’s cookbook… I found so much inspiration in it. It had personal letters from people she had met in her travels and handwritten recipes that were passed down through my family. I found a letter she wrote to a man who was a cafe owner in New Orleans asking how to best prepare the perfect cup of coffee in a French press. And he took the time to write her a very detailed response. I thought it was so wonderful – and that’s what I wanted my book to feel like, that letter,” Haylie told Star Magazine.
Other guests included Kaley Cuoco and Emmanuelle Chriqui.

MP3 Catfish John Tisdell and Friends - Below the Surface
Komplettes MP3 Album von Catfish John Tisdell and Friends
Kurz-Beschreibung von CDbaby: Rock, funk, and blues guitar instrumentals.
Käufer, die sich für (Carlos Santana Stevie Ray Vaughn Eric Clapton) interessieren sollten sich dieses Album anhören.
Weitere Informationen vom Distributor:
Since his first public performances in the early 70's in Denver, Catfish has toured the country both as a solo artist and in bands, performing in clubs, coffeehouses, music festivals and concerts. His favorite style of music is a combination of Blues/Rock, but he has performed in bands ranging from traditional blues and folk to more contemporary rock.
Catfish has hosted weekly jam sessions on public radio, (he has a B.A. in Radio and TV Production), booked college concerts, written a guitar instructional book, and has taught many music workshops and classes. He is a recording artist, songwriter, author, and studio musician with a variety of CD's, cassettes and books to his credit.
Since moving to Maui in 1991, John has performed in several bands. He started the Front Street Blues Band, which featured many of his original compositions as well as classic and contemporary blues and rock tunes. He played fiddle and banjo in the group "String Fever" (He also engineered their album, "Contagious".) and has played in a number of duos playing in clubs and on tour boats.
He heads up his own band, "Catfish John and Friends", and is an avid windsurfer. Incidentally, Catfish got his nick-name from swimming in an algae covered pond in North Carolina.
This CD of original rock/funk guitar instrumentals is a departure from Catfish John's more common blues/rock style music. It features his electric lead guitar playing and represents a milestone in his development as a musician. Several tunes were written to pay tribute to his musical influences; "One For Carlos" (Carlos Santana), "Jon Lee Was Here" (John Lee Hooker)

DC FanDome is returning this year, bringing back two of the most anticipated games, Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League! Hopefully, gameplay will be shown off for Suicide Squad and we’ll get to see how it plays.
Gotham Knights is being described as an Action-RPG experience with a co-op focus that lets you and your friends play as Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing or Redhood. Suicide Squad on the other hand will be a live-service title, which has fans worried that it will be similar to Avengers.
Both Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad are scheduled for 2022, but we won’t be surprised if Suicide Squad is delayed until 2023.

The binding was made from two pieces of 0.080 inches thick by 1/4 inch tall rosewood purchased from Stewart-Macdonald. At 34.5 inches long, each of the two pieces used were long enough to make each side from one continuous piece of binding.
I routed the channel for the binding using a table router, but many people use a hand held router or Dremel type tool to do the same thing. In my opinion, the table is the way to go for a flat top mandolin since the entire back and top can rest of the table while routing. I used a router bit with a bearing that rides on the mandolin’s sides for a consistent offset. This method was very reliable, accurate and took no time to set up. I used a combination of two different bits to achieve the desired offset. I took the bearing from a 1/4 inch flush cut bit and the cutter from a 3/8ths inch bit which gave me a 1/16ths inch wide channel. They have specialized (read expensive) sets of bits to do the same thing. These have interchangeable bearings allowing for offsets that match up with standard/ common binding dimensions. I set the depth of the channel to about 3/16ths of an inch with the routers built in depth gauge.
To minimize the chance of tearout while cutting the channel, I paid close attention to the direction of the grain. The bit should always be cutting “downhill” as much as possible. The ideal situation isn’t always possible since the bit only turns one direction, but I generally started at the widest part of the body and then cut to the tail and the neck. This took four passes, one for each of the four quarters of the body.
At the neck on the top side, I stopped just shy of the heel and then cleaned up the corner with a chisel. I went a bit too far at the neck on the back side and marked up the underside of the neck. These gouges luckily cleaned up of with a bit of recarving at the base of the neck. It really is only necessary to route to the heel on both the top and back since the button is going go there anyway.
Tail Binding Slot
I cut the slot for the tail trim that would cover the joint between the two halves of the sides on the table saw. I used a rig that was quickly improvised using a piece of plywood screwed onto a miter gauge and then clamped directly to the mandolin’s body. One pass on the table saw was enough to make the 1/8th inch wide slot.
Unlike most buttons I’ve seen, this one extends beyond the neck’s end and over the top of the sides. This is due to the very short heel section of the neck. The button looked strangely proportioned to me when I layed it out so it would only cover the top of the neck. I used chisels freehand to remove the wood from the button area and to smooth and flatten the final surface to accept the button. The depth matches that of the binding so they will flow together as best as possible when both are installed despite the fact that they will have different grain patterns showing and were made from different pieces of wood.
Bending the Binding
I used the same rig to bend the binding as I used to bend the sides. I secured the binding to the body with large rubber bands while they dried and cooled. Since the binding is so much thinner than the sides, it is much easier to bend and it is possible to get away with a less accurate bend. It’s more important that the bend is very smooth so it doesn’t lead to a small section of binding that can’t be pulled up tightly to the body.
Gluing on the Binding
I first had to carefully cut the top binding to length so that the ends would fit snugly flow into the neck. I left the back a bit long to be trimmed to size later. To secure the binding while the glue dried I used masking tape. This was very easy to do with only one person. It took a lot of tape (as you can see) and some care in how you apply the tape and how tightly you secure it so that the binding would be held firmly in place while drying. I added a bunch of rubber bands to the heel area where the binding was especially stubborn.
Trimming the Binding
Once the glue was dry, I planed down the top edge with a thumb plane. I sanded down the overhang on the sides using a spindle sander. Being careful to not take off too much material, I cut off the excess from the button ends of the binding for a tight fit with the button.
Using a paper template positioned with the binding as a guide, I drilled holes for the tailpiece pins. With the body clamped down securely on drill press, I drilled the four holes at least an inch deep each using an 1/8th inch brad point bit.
Attaching the Button
I glued on the oversized rosewood button using wood glue. I made the button by cutting a piece of rosewood slightly thick, then slowly sanded the profile using the actual heel of the neck as a guide. I could have made the button much closer to the correct size as it was very difficlut to par down without hurting the rest of the neck once glued in place.
Installing the Tail Binding
I wasn’t able to pull the binding tight enough in some areas and had some small fit issues in others. These gaps weren’t too bad, but I could see them enough for it to bother me. I filled all of the gaps with a mixture of wood glue and rosewood dust. Afterwards, it was essentially impossible to see any of the gaps.

The Magistrate’s Court will hand down a sentence tomorrow after hearing guilty pleas from a 39-year-old local man indicted with outraging the modesty of a 14-year-old boy.
Awangku Ibrahim bin Pengiran Badar outraged a teenager’s modesty in a car parked at the Rimba recreational park on November 30, 2019.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Nurul Fitri binti Kiprawi revealed in court yesterday that at about 5.30pm, the defendant saw the victim alone outside his school waiting to be picked by his father.
The defendant offered to send the victim to his father’s place of work, and the victim agreed and entered the defendant’s car as he was under the impression that the defendant had been sent by his father to pick him up from school.
Along the way, the defendant stopped the car in the parking area of the Rimba recreational park. The defendant assaulted the victim, and in fear, the victim unwillingly obliged to the defendant’s actions.
The defendant later sent the victim to his father’s place of work in Rimba. The victim informed his father what had happened and a police report was lodged. Investigations by the Royal Brunei Police Force led to the defendant’s arrest.
The charge carries a penalty of a maximum jail of five years with whipping.
Magistrate Mohammad Marzuqi bin Sabtu is considering a fitting punishment.

Just got word that the team jerseys should be here by the end of next week. They are shipping from ATAC Sportswear in BC and the lady that I am dealing with is a hockey fanatic. She signed her last correspondence with “Vancouver, home of the Stanley Cup”. Of course I am hoping that it will indeed become the home of the Stanley Cup, but it might be a wee bit premature to name it as such. Game three tonight. Go Canucks!
While we’re on the subject of jerseys, I highly recommend ATAC Sportswear for your customized gear. I actually have some jerseys from the 2005 Race Across America that are still in great condition despite having ridden some 10,000+ on my back. The colours are still bright, there are no holes, and they have retained their shape. They are also competitively priced and provide a relatively easy to use online ordering experience. I have to say that all contact with their staff has been very professional and they clearly value the client.
So, if you’re interested in getting your own riding clobber made up, visit them at http://www.bikeatac.com/.

Northrop Grumman Corp. said Monday that it planned to buy back more than $2 billion in debt issued by its systems and shipbuilding units. The company, which operates an 11,000-worker shipyard in Pascagoula, said it will concurrently sell new debt securities.
Several companies and municipalities have recently announced new debt offerings to repay existing borrowing, taking advantage of today's lower interest rates.
The company plans to repurchase $1.92 billion in debt scheduled to mature between 2016 and 2036. The company will also try to repurchase $200 million of Gulf Opportunity Zone bonds.
GO Zone bonds were meant to help the Gulf Coast recover after 2005's Hurricane Katrina. State and local governments do not financially guarantee the bonds or market them on behalf of the seller. Their advantage is that investors accept lower interest rates because the bonds are tax-exempt.
The company said it will record a charge in the fourth quarter related to the repurchase plan.

This is a 30 minute course on glycogen storage disorders (GSDs) consisting of two 15 minute modules. The first will concentrate on hepatic GSDs and the second on muscle GSDs. The aim of this course is to raise awareness of the condition among GPs and to support GPs who have a patient with one of these very rare diseases. We will cover presentation, initial investigation, diagnosis and management including the role of specialist centres
An educational grant was received by The Association for Glycogen Storage Disease for the production of the course. Editorial and content decisions were made solely by the RCGP.

...Republicans have shut much of the government in what they had to know was a doomed effort to derail the Affordable Care Act. That law, in case you've forgotten in the torrent of propaganda, is hardly revolutionary. It is an effort to extend health insurance to some of the 40 million or so people in this country who have none. It acts through the existing private-insurance market. Republicans tried to block its passage and failed; they hoped to have it declared unconstitutional and failed; and they did their best to toss Mr. Obama out of the White House after one term in order to strangle it in its cradle, and they failed again.
They’re entitled to keep trying, of course — though it would be nice if someday they remembered their promise to come up with an alternative proposal. But their methods now are beyond the pale.
After months of refusing to confer with the Senate on a budget proposal, they have demanded a conference committee to keep the government funded for six weeks. They are rejecting a budget extension that includes limits on federal spending — the so-called sequester — that they insisted on and that Democrats oppose. In a particularly shabby piece of faux populism, their final proposal Monday night included a measure todeprive congressional aides, many of whom earn considerably less than the esteemed members, of the subsidy to purchase health insurance that employers routinely provide.
All fine words, indeed, and much overdue. Unfortunately, one of the reasons we have gotten to this point, and one of the reasons we face an even worse crisis over the debt ceiling two weeks from now is this item, mentioned earlier in their editorial:
We don’t come to that view as rabid partisans. On many of the issues stalemating Washington, we find plenty of blame to go around. We’ve criticized President Obama’s reluctance to pursue entitlement reform. The last time the country reached the debt ceiling, we urged both sides to compromise on revenue and spending in the interest of long-term fiscal soundness.Ah, do we see the problem here? Two years ago the GOP orchestrated a similar hostage-taking maneuver over the debt ceiling, which was emboldened by many in the media. It's no wonder that the 2013 version of the GOP feels equally emboldened in regard to sacrificing the budget in their efforts to delay, defund, or obstruct in any way they can the implementation of Obama's signature legislative accomplishment. Now, it's quite possible they would have done this anyway, this year, even if the 2011 debt-ceiling hostage taking hadn't taken place. But there's no doubt that the GOP's success that year in extracting concessions, such as the budget-busting sequester, has emboldened them this year and for when the debt ceiling comes up again in two weeks.

The Teletype Model 43 is a so-called teleprinter or dumb terminal. It can be used as an interface to various other machines to provide a terminal interface. Yes, there is a direct relation between your OS’s virtual terminal, ttys and these kinds of machines. Teleprinters where once used to interface with mainframe computers once timesharing became available. Here’s an in-depth article about the history of ttys and how their legacy still lives on in modern Unix based systems.
This specific model is one of the latest types to have used paper as a medium and is now housed at the Media Archeology Lab. Unfortunately it remained unused because people couldn’t get it to work. So we decided to try if we could get it to work. It seemed someone had already attached a self-made cable to the machine using an old DB-25 serial connector that is not generally available on modern computers.
Opening the machine up, we found an old circuit board for the serial interface that was wrapped in bubble wrap and tape.
It is a bit unclear whether this is a posterior addition or an original part of the machine. Unwrapping revealed an amplifier chip (741TC) and a crystal. It also revealed that the cable was only connected using two pins, (data send and data receive, white and green in the photo) the minimum required to achieve a serial connection.
Rather than replacing the cable we opted for adding an additional cable with a DB-9 connector, soldering the two wires on the other side of the board, in parallel to the existing cable.
The wiring scheme of the serial adapter we obtained from the great teletype tutorial from The Linux Documentation Project and confirmed with the wiring schemes on page 4 of the Teletype technical reference. In our case, we connected pin 2 on the connector (receive data) to the blue cable, and pin 2 (transmit data) to the yellow cable.
Afterwards we restored the the original bubble wrap cover
and ended up with two cables.
To connect the TTY43 to computers which don’t have a separate serial port (laptops) it is possible to use USB-to-serial converter cables.
In terms of software it is relatively straightforward to get it to work on Linux since the required drivers and packages are probably already on your system.
If you use have a serial port you can access the printer via /dev/ttyS0, if you use a USB-to-serial converter it shows up as /dev/ttyUSB0.
First set the speed at which your computer talks over that interface. 300 baud resulted in the best setting for the TTY43. This is done on the command line with the stty commands:
stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 300
After that, one should be able to write directly to the teletype, for example with:
echo 'test' > /dev/ttyUSB0
To launch a console on the teletype, on Linux one can use getty:
getty ttyUSB0 300
This launches a login prompt on the teletype, after which one can use it as an interactive terminal! Here’s some video documentation:

tsp of sesame oil if you don't stir fry any veggies
optional: stir fried vegetables in sesame oil
To begin heat the chicken broth on low-med heat. Stir fry your veggies in some sesame oil if you choose.
Add in soy sauce, grated ginger, and garlic. If you didn't cook any veggies, add about a tsp of sesame oil to your broth for some flavor.
In a separate bowl whisk an egg.
Now comes the fun part. Take a spoon and stir the broth around in a circle until you get a pretty good whirlpool going. Quickly drizzle in the egg.
Add your vegetables and any other seasonings you want. I put in pepper and chili paste for a bit of a kick. Toasted sesame seeds would also taste great here.
Makes two small bowls of soup. Great for a super quick appetizer or side dish. Sometimes I like to eat this soup as a meal. When doing this, I usually add in some meat and rice to make it more filling.

So I’m obsessed with this (trigger word) “movement” that James Bridle and a bunch of his designer friends from London have coined: “The New Aesthetic”. Basically at its most essential can be categorized as a melding of the digital realm with the real world. We humans viewing the world through the eyes of our very own technology, and what beautiful aesthetic qualities we can pull from it.
Bridle’s work astonishes me to no end and I can watch his lectures from around the world a bunch of times. This new idea has seen plenty of discourse in recent months. A SXSW panel (featuring Bridle himself, members of his collective, and the editor of Rhizome) in March in Austin, an essay in Wired by Bruce Sterling, and of course Bridle’s recently defunct Tumblr account where he documented examples of the aesthetic on for a year.
I just received word from the director of my New Media program at school about this upcoming debate at the Flux Factory in Long Island City next week that attempts to take Internet discussions and place them into the real world (an idea that seems very new aesthetic-esque to begin with). Anyways they’ve decided to have a panel of four speakers debate the idea of the new aesthetic and it should be very excited! Flux Factory is located at 39-31 29th Street, Long Island City, Queens. Hope to see you there!

We chose the interior and exterior lighting of the wellness centre to provide sufficient light comfort and at the same time to create a feeling of cosiness. The lighting system consists of products from four brands (Petridis, NEKO, Wever & Ducré, Halla) and is characterised by low chromaticity light. The warm yellowish light harmonises nicely with the wood panelling and enhances the relaxing atmosphere of the place.I want to implement a similar project.

On September 22, 2015, Basil Borutski killed three women by names of Nathalie Warmerdam, Anastasia Kuzyk and Carol Culleton. Basil had previously been in some sort of relationship with each of the women and two of them, Nathalie Warmerdam and Anastasia Kuzyk, suffered domestic violence by his hand. Aforementioned the Basil Borutski case tied together many areas of law, students are able to scrutinize the police, think about key question and learn about a current and extremely relevant topic at the same time. There were three main areas where the case could tie into different units. Basil Borutski murdered three women, tying it into the homicide unit. When he was charged he got three consecutive sentences for murder. This would fall into the History of Law unit because students would be able to look at why and how the justice system has advanced to now allow consecutive sentences.
However it would also allow students to question whether or not this case could or should fall into the NCR category. In Basil Borutski’s interrogation he kept painting himself as the victim and also said that the women deserved what they got because of what they did to him. Then later stated that he would take what he did to them back if he could. No one knows for sure what was going through his head, but there are a lot of thing that would beg the questions ‘Could his defense have been NCR?’ Even if the answer to this question was no, it is still a very good conversation starter. One in every three women will experience domestic violence at some point in their life, and for years the Canadian government and the police force has been trying to stop it. So if the police are trying so hard to stop domestic violence why did they wait until three innocent women were killed before seeing him as a high risk criminal.
Students watching and learning about this case will be able to analyze and question the way the court system works. They can see obvious signs about this man that, at the time, the police did not pick up on. For example the police did nothing after Basil Borutski’s wife of twenty-six years filed four complaints, and numerous amounts of women filed abuse claims against him. They can really have a chance to think about the way in which the police and justice system fail to protect us and it will make them think about what they know and what they think they know about the court system.

McLaren Racing has agreed a technical partnership with equipment manufacturer Alpinestars.
- Supply contract covers Formula One, IndyCar, Formula E, Extreme E, and F1 Academy
- Alpinestars becomes the team’s official partner for technical clothing
It seemed only a matter of time before this Alpinestars deal would be officially confirmed after driver Oscar Piastri wore an unbranded suit from the manufacturer during end-of-season Formula One testing in 2023, while the company was already partnered with the Formula E team. This new arrangement brings to a close a 27-year relationship between McLaren and Sparco.
Matt Dennington, executive director for partnerships and accelerator, McLaren Racing, said: “With Alpinestars as our new official partner for technical clothing, we’re excited to bring a new look across our McLaren Racing teams this 2024 season. We’re proud to outfit our drivers and crew members in their advanced technical gear.”
Alpinestars will make its competitive debut with McLaren Racing at this weekend’s season-opening Formula E race in Mexico City on 13th January.
