I want to wake up every day and think about spirituality. I want my daily conversations to deal with it. I want to go to work and do something magickal. I want to write rituals before I go to sleep so that I'm prepared for the next day. Instead…I wake up to thoughts of how to deal with problems I have faced at my job in the oilfield. I go through my day having conversations about bottom hole pressure. I go to sleep after finishing my timesheet and expenses describing the frac job I was on. Do I want this? No. Then I should take my own advice, right? If it doesn't make you happy, leave it behind you. Well that's just tough shit, as we would say in the oil patch.
I am a father to four children and those four little munchkins have to go to college soon. My wife would like to be able to wear at least a couple pieces of jewelry. I would like to be able to buy a new tire if I get a flat. It all boils down to that all-mighty dollar that seems to be completely absent within the metaphysical community. I refuse to let my family go without the things that they need, and I would like to be able to get away from the foods that will cause me cancer in 20 years. I am not willing to make these sacrifices for myself and my family so that I may go to work in the magickal world.
So I ask you, the reader, the question that has plagued me for going on 10 years now. How do you make a decent living in a magickal way? Is there anyone in the magickal community who makes a living compared to me, a common oilfield engineer? I've read that Jason from the Wild Hunt has to crowd-fund his trips to conventions, and he's probably the most famous person within the Pagan community. To me, this is absolutely crazy. If you wanted someone famous in the oilfield to speak at a convention, you would pay them a minimum of $20,000 for a speech. Jason, Penczak, Starhawk, and all of those other famous Pagans should be paid to come to an event rather than have to pay for their own travel.
So even the most famous people in our community still have to budget for trips/work? That's nuts. The problem I see is that there is no way that our community can get any inflow from non-magickally inclined people. Yet we all have flow out of our community to airfare, gas, rent, food, and every other normal industry. So we steadily are losing money as a community. I'll always have to pay for gas, clothes, food, etc. unless I live in some kind of commune (which is a fun idea once the kiddos are out of the house), but there's no way to pay for it through the magickal community unless we could someone have some kind of a cash funnel from the other industries into our community. So I guess that the real question is what service or good can the people in our communities provide your everyday person without moving outside of the magickal. Either that or we need a really really big trust fund account.
I don't know the answer but I do think that this is this big question that we as a community have to answer.

Palm has launched its fourth smartphone of the year - a PalmOS model with a budget price. It's the first major upgrade to Palm's GSM line since the Treo 650, announced in late 2004 - and, which Palm was forced to stop selling in the EU in the summer because of the RoHS hazardous waste requirements. It's also much more aggressively priced than its predecessor.
Exactly what the Treo 680 will cost, Palm hasn't yet confirmed. Today's Wall Street Journal pegs it at $199. Rather than relying entirely on carriers, Palm will sell the 680 direct off its website.
With a nod to the classic iMac, the 680 comes in four colours, Graphite (aka grey), Copper, Crimson and Arctic. With our Northern ice cap rapidly vanishing, Arctic is an ambiguous choice of name - but Palm has optimistically decided that it's still white.
The new model dispenses with the bulky, 90s-vintage external antenna, which means the Treo 680 is 23g lighter than the most recent (CDMA-only) PalmOS Treo, the 700p; it's also a fraction longer (by 6mm) and thinner (by 3mm).
The new model uses the same cut of PalmOS, the same screen size and resolution (320x320) and the same application processor. Like its GSM predecessors, it also supports the 850/900/1800/1900Mhz bands, EDGE-speed GPRS, but there's no W-CDMA support or Wi-Fi.
The complexities of a contemporary W-CDMA (aka UMTS) phone - which has to be able to fall back to GSM without dropping the call - have proved beyond the capabilities of the venerable PalmOS, forcing Palm to become a Windows licensee in order to support the European and Asian flavour of 3G. That may not be a problem one day, when all the GSM networks have shut down and moved entirely to W-CDMA, but that day is a very long way away and Palm can't wait.
Recruitment ads suggest Palm is working on an in-house successor to PalmOS Garnet. In related news, Access subsidiary PalmSource has lost its name, the company announced today. The Treo 680 comes powered by... Access.
Is the new model enough to revive Palm's presence in Europe? The press release uses Europe-friendly buzzwords such as "work/life balance". Certainly the lack of a bulky external antenna, which has been cited as a deal-breaker for the European market, should help. But in a fascinating recent post on the cultural differences between Europe and the USA when it comes to mobile phones, former Palm exec Michael Mace cites evidence that the visible keyboard may still repel Europeans who take things like "work/life balance" seriously.
"The keyboard," recounts Mike, "which American users tend to regard as a badge of business power and importance, comes across as pathetically computer-obsessed to a lot of folks in Europe."
Harsh, but true.
Alas we won't know how well the European market receives it until next year, long after the US launch. ®

Wayne Scott and Jontey Byrd will be bring a little piece of Daytona Beach to the banks of Lake Erie. OK, well, a big piece.
Scott, a 6-foot-4, 330-pound offensive guard, and Byrd, a 6-foot, 280-pound defensive tackle, will sign Wednesday with Kent State and the duo is looking forward to heading off the Ohio school together.
"Oh yeah, it's gonna be great, man … to have my boy Jontey come up there with me," Scott said Tuesday night. "Jontey's one of my best friends and he's hilarious ... that guy is special though, and I'm glad he's coming up there with me. We're going to go up there to college together and make the best of it."
Scott picked Kent over other schools like North Carolina Central, Tennessee State, Bethune-Cookman, Jacksonville and Campbell. He also had brief interest from FBS schools Western Kentucky, FAU and South Alabama.
"When I went up there for me official visit it just felt like family up there," Scott said. "It felt like home and I got along good with everybody and they were 11-3 last year and they told me my I was like one of the only offensive linemen they were bringing in, so there will only by like one or two, possibly three of us."
Like most players this time of year who have had to go deep into the recruiting season to finalize their situations, Scott was grateful to be done with the process.
"I really am," he said. "All this recruiting stuff is all fun and games until it gets down to crunch time. That's when everybody is trying to get these commitments and it's just kinda crazy. I'm glad it's over. I'm good now. I'm committed to Kent State."
For Byrd, he picked the Golden Flashes over Western Kentucky and FAU, as well as offers from a similar list to what Scott had.
Mainland will have its signing day ceremony at noon.

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Speeding, alcohol and weather are among the factors that increase the risk of fatal traffic crashes around Thanksgiving, according to a new study.
Although these are common causes of deadly crashes throughout the year, they become even more significant during Thanksgiving week when there are more cars on the road, more drivers on unfamiliar roads, more tired drivers, more distracted drivers and more people attending parties, according to the researchers at the University of Alabama Center for Advanced Public Safety.
"With substantially increased traffic volume over a short period, this combination is a recipe for potential disaster," Allen Parrish, center director and a professor of computer science, said in a university news release.
He and his colleagues analyzed data on fatal crashes in Alabama during Thanksgiving week 2011, as well as national fatal-crash data from 2005 to 2010. Thanksgiving week is defined as the Monday before Thanksgiving to the Sunday after.
Nationally, traffic fatalities averaged nearly 750 per week during the six years included in the study, but Thanksgiving week averaged 50 more deaths. In Alabama, the number of fatal crashes averaged 16 a week in 2011, but rose to 17 during Thanksgiving week.
The study also found that the number of U.S. pedestrian deaths was 11 percent higher during Thanksgiving week than other weeks.
The national data showed that 20 percent more traffic fatalities occurred between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. during Thanksgiving week than during other weeks of the year. In much of the nation, these are not daylight hours.
Thanksgiving Day was the safest travel day in Alabama, but traffic deaths nationwide significantly increased during the 24 hours of Thanksgiving Day. Thirty percent of those deaths occurred in the early morning hours, and it's likely that drunk driving played a role in many of those crashes, the researchers said.
There was good news in the study. Nationally, the number of traffic deaths fell 25 percent between 2005 and 2010, and fatal crashes during Thanksgiving week decreased by almost 31 percent.
In Alabama last year, speed was twice as likely to be listed as the primary factor in crashes during Thanksgiving week as in other weeks of the year. The report also found that drunk driving accounted for at least six of the 17 fatal crashes during Thanksgiving week. Weather also played a role, with 67 percent of Thanksgiving week crashes occurring in rain or on wet roads.
The number of collisions with deer in Alabama was 25 percent higher during Thanksgiving week than during other weeks of the year.
The researchers also offered some Thanksgiving driving safety tips:

Benghazi probe in U.S. House stirs controversy
WASHINGTON -- House Republicans insist the Obama administration is covering up information about last year's deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, rejecting administration assurances to the contrary and stoking a controversy with implications for the 2016 presidential race.
Republicans on five House committees are pressing ahead with their own investigations despite an exhaustive independent review that blistered the State Department, more than 25,000 pages of documents sent to Congress and hours of testimony from former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Three State Department witnesses, including the former deputy chief in Libya, are scheduled to testify Wednesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee at a session certain to attract attention after recent disclosures from the panel's Republicans.
The hearing is the latest in a long-running and bitter dispute between the administration and congressional Republicans who have challenged the White House's actions before and after the Benghazi attack.
The scheduled witnesses were Mark Thompson, acting deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism; Gregory Hicks, the former deputy of mission in Libya; and Eric Nordstrom, a former regional security officer in Libya who testified before the panel in October.
On Sept. 11, 2012, two separate attacks hours apart on the U.S. facility in Benghazi killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. An independent panel led by former top diplomat Thomas Pickering and retired Gen. Mike Mullen concluded that management and leadership failures at the State Department led to "grossly" inadequate security at the mission. The panel's report singled out the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security and the Bureau of Near East Affairs.
The report failed to placate GOP lawmakers, conservatives and outside groups, some of whom contend Benghazi is comparable to the Watergate and Iran-Contra scandals and deserves a thorough examination. Two of the outside groups -- Special Operations Speaks and Special Ops OPSEC -- have been raising money on the issue.
The target of much of the conservative wrath is Clinton, a potential presidential candidate in 2016 who stepped down after four grueling years as the nation's top diplomat with sky-high approval ratings. In her last appearance on Capitol Hill in January, a defiant Clinton took responsibility for the department's missteps leading up to the assault while rejecting suggestions that the administration had tried to mislead the country about the attack.
She insisted that requests for more security at the diplomatic mission in Benghazi didn't reach her desk.
"I did not see these requests," she said. "They did not come to me. I did not approve them. I did not deny them."
Yet Republicans are pressing ahead, holding hearings and issuing an interim report that criticized her.
"It looks pretty clear that there was some catastrophic decision-making that in some way contributed to the death of those four Americans," said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. "And that part I think is what the investigation will unfold."
The Pentagon provided Congress with a timeline of the actions of security personnel and other senior officials around the attack last November, but Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said Wednesday that it was insufficient.
The Oversight committee led by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., is looking to its witnesses to "put forward information about Benghazi that the Obama administration has tried to suppress," said Frederick Hill, a spokesman for the panel.
Democrats see it differently.
"It's politics," said Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., a member of the Oversight panel.
"If it's a fair-minded question of what we could do better (on security), that would benefit us all. But if it's intended to embarrass the president or perhaps Hillary Clinton then it will be damaging no matter who the next secretary of state is or who the next president is," Welch added.
Last week in Missouri, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., another possible 2016 candidate, said Clinton's "dereliction of duty" in handling Libya should preclude her from holding office.
Committee Democrats argue that the investigation has become politicized, pointing to their exclusion from much of the inquiry. Two Democratic staffers participated in an April 11 interview with Hicks, but the panel's top Democrat said their efforts to find out about Thompson have been thwarted and they've been unable to talk to the witness.
"We have absolutely not one syllable about this guy. He's going to appear in the committee tomorrow, we know nothing about him," Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said Tuesday. "That's unprecedented."
Cummings and other Democrats were furious about the interim report from the committees, released last month, that said senior State Department officials, including Clinton, approved reductions in security at the facilities in Benghazi. The report cited an April 19, 2012, cable that Republicans said had Clinton's signature.
It's standard procedure that cables from the State Department in Washington go out under the secretary's authority and with her signature, or name, typed at the bottom, according to a five-page document put together by the State Department at the request of its senior leadership to rebut some of the claims about Benghazi.
Conservatives who are vital to the GOP in turning out the vote in midterm elections have pressured the party to act forcefully in investigating the Benghazi assault. In the House, more than 130 rank-and-file Republicans have signed onto a resolution calling for Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to create a special select committee to look into the attacks, seeing the latest GOP investigation as less than satisfactory.

Why does the OPC use the version of the WCF with the American revisions (made prior to 1900)? If it's a confessional church, shouldn't it use the original version of the Confession, written during the height of Puritanism in Britain, as opposed to the one that was made to conform to particular "American" ideals regarding church and state? I don't believe truth changes depending on the continent or culture! And also, if the WCF was changed before, couldn't future changes be made to it if the OPC becomes apostate?
A number of changes had been made in the Confession by the American Presbyterian church. The OPC did not accept the 1903 revisions because we regarded them as unscriptural. We retained the earlier revisions because we agreed with them (considering (1) the long section on relationships forbidden for marriage to be unnecessary, (2) the identification of the Pope as "the Antichrist" as going beyond Scripture, and (3) the revised statements on church and state to be more scriptural). The reason for agreeing with the last is not that it is "American" (by no means has the OPC embraced all things "American" as true), but that it was and is considered to be more faithful to the Bible's conception of the relative authorities of church and state.
The 17th Century Puritans in England (and their Scottish brothers) represented a high-water mark of biblical understanding (the ripe fruit of 120 years of the Reformation). But they were not infallible on all matters. Truth does not change; but the church of Christ over the centuries may grow and has grown in its understanding of what the truth is.
Unchanging and infallible truth resides only in God's revelation in the Scriptures He inspired by the Holy Spirit. It does not reside infallibly in any human confession. With this the Confession itself agrees (WCF 1.10, 31.3, 20.2). (In the second sentence of this paragraph, "resides ... in God's revelation in ...", the "in" does do not imply that God's truth is found in Scripture mixed with other stuff that may not be true; all of Scripture, being God-breathed, is true.) It is for this reason that our Form of Government contains carefully drawn provisions prescribing the manner in which the Confessional standards may be amended; it is not easily done, deliberately so (Form of Government, Chap.32).
Certainly not all changes in conviction embraced by churches have brought them to a clearer and more faithful understanding of Scripture. Throughout history churches have accepted heresies, watered down sound doctrine, and even apostatized. There is no guarantee that future generations of the OPC might not amend the Confession again in heretical, diluting or apostatizing ways. At the same time an unchanged and unchangeable Confession is no guarantee against a church's drifting away from Scripture and from its Confession. If the OPC drifts into heresy and apostasy, it will be the duty of the faithful in her midst to call the rest to repentance and back to fidelity to the Word; and, failing that (which is not to prejudge what the Spirit may be pleased to do), to find or to form a faithful churchas our fathers did in 1936.
Thank you for your question. Feel free to respond or come back with more questions.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

'Accounting irregularities' in Winsted being investigated by State Police Major Crimes Unit
WINSTED >> The "accounting irregularities" which have held up Winsted's 2011-12 audit are now a criminal matter.
Town attorney Kevin Nelligan confirmed that the Connecticut State Police Major Crimes unit is investigating a town employee for possible crimes. While Nelligan could not confirm if the employee was former finance director Henry Centrella, the town attorney did not rule out Centrella, only pointing towards the agenda for Wednesday night's special meeting. The agenda states that the board discussed "pending claims or litigation regarding the Financial Director."
"The town would have a claim, perhaps, based on the audit," Nelligan said.
Nelligan discussed the matter during an executive session with the Board of Selectmen and town manager Dale Martin on Jan. 16. The executive session lasted for over an hour and followed the board's review of Martin's performance. Nelligan urged the board to cancel a previously-scheduled special meeting, which would have involved possibly terminating Martin, on Jan. 12 due to the findings from the audit.
"They understand the seriousness of this," said Nelligan, who said the town has taken steps which "will put the town in a good position and protect us financially going forward."
Centrella has been on paid leave since Nov. 9, 2012 due to the aforementioned "accounting irregularities." These irregularities merited a further investigation from BlumShapiro, the town's former auditing firm, and the firm gave Nelligan their preliminary findings on Jan. 14.
"Those findings rose to the level of perhaps a criminal activity," Nelligan said.
Nelligan expected more details before the Board of Selectmen's Jan. 22 meeting, and both Nelligan and town manager Dale Martin will present as much as they can, as well as details on the steps Winsted has taken to protect itself in the wake of the findings. While Nelligan could not disclose what steps have been taken so far, the town attorney said that more measures will be implemented, remarking that "now that we have (the preliminary findings), we can tell the town as much as we can."
"The Board of Selectmen wanted me to inform the town that steps have been taken to protect the town," said Nelligan. "Further steps will be taken in the next couple of days."
Speaking on behalf of the Board of Selectmen, Nelligan said the preliminary findings were turned over to the Winchester Police Department on Jan. 14. From there, police chief Robert Scannell turned the matter over to the state police, who are currently conducting their own investigation to determine if charges are merited.
"They have the expertise, in terms of accounting," said Nelligan of the Major Crimes unit.
Nelligan cautioned the media and residents to not hold their breath during the state police investigation, which could take upwards of several months, adding that "it could take a year." Additionally, BlumShapiro is reviewing their previous audits to determine when the activity started.
"Right now," Nelligan said, "it's current, so they're going back."
Nelligan could not definitively state that the activity began before the 2011-12 fiscal year, since no one is positive as to when the activity started. Subsequently, Winsted's 2011-12 audit, which has been overdue for several months, will be delayed until the criminal investigation is completed.
"They can't issue the audit if they've got these questions," said Nelligan.
The Water and Sewer Commission, which has had to deal with its own issues regarding financial irregularities, has called a special meeting for Jan. 17 at 5 p.m. Nelligan will be present to debrief the commission on their role in the matter, although he was not sure if there would be enough members to have a quorum on such short notice.
"There's a lot of things that have to be looked at and dealt with," said Nelligan.

J.R. "Bob" Byford hated the idea of working for a big company, so when a large national company bought William Cameron Company of Waco, TX, where he served as Sales Manager, he knew it was time to go. He convinced his wife Eleanor of this around a camp fire one night in Colorado, and when they returned to Waco he solicited the support of Vernon Potter, also working at William Cameron. The new company would be located in Dallas. Mr. and Mrs. "B" would open the business March 1, 1955 and get the administrative tasks done, then Vernon would join them two months later, on May 1, 1955.
Dallas Wholesale Builders Supply Inc (DWBSI) moved from just a dream to reality and the rest, they say, is history. Distributing Ideal Millwork and Rubberoid Roofing products, DWBSI celebrated revenues of $50,000 that first year. Their first location, shadowed by "Pappy's Showland Club", was cheap to rent, but it left a lot to be desired. The good news was they outgrew the space in 9 months and moved. It took just two more years to realize DWBSI once again needed more space. DWBSI found space on East 15th Street in Oak Cliff, conveniently located between two lumber companies: Lyon-Gray and Don Cameron. This was a sign of things to come.
DWBSI grew right along with their good customers on 15th Street. They all were running out of space. Lyon-Gray Lumber sold out to C. D. Phillips who formed Phillips Lumber in Cedar Hill. Homer DeFord, also of Lyon-Gray, formed DeFord Lumber in Duncanville. Roy and Carl Ivey purchased the Lyon-Gray property for Ivey Lumber Sales and DWBSI had another prosperous customer with which to grow. Don Cameron Lumber moved out and John Tinsley Lumber moved in. When Ivey moved to a new location on Peavy Road in east Dallas, DWBSI purchased their property. DWBSI continued to acquire open land and homes along 15th Street until it reached Ewing Street. In 1978 DWBSI acquired John Tinsley Lumber Company.
Byron Potter, Vernon's son, was extended an opportunity by Mr. B and his father to join DWBSI to form a purchasing department. He started working at the company full time after graduating from SMU in 1973, having worked summers there since the age of 13. The same year Joe Cornett was promoted to Sales Manager. DWBSI grew rapidly over the next ten years. In 1976 Rick McLaughlin joined the firm as Merchandising Manager and Robert Harris and Betty Evans joined in 1979. Robert went into outside sales and Betty became the company's first Advertising Manager.
Things, however, were not always easy. Leasing the area directly beneath the Marsalis Parkway overpass that crossed the Oak Cliff property as a roofing storage shelter was genius—inexpensive and accessible. However, one night in early 1980 a young transient fellow flicked a cigarette through the fence surrounding the roofing storage area after becoming annoyed with the guard dogs inside. A stack of old pallets caught fire and the subsequent four-alarm blaze destroyed the roofing stock and warped the steel trusses of the bridge—forcing the City of Dallas to revoke the company's lease. Faced with the decision to either forgo the roofing business or continue, DWBSI persevered, leasing property in east Dallas to begin a larger stand-alone Roofing Division. Mike Cornett was selected as the Roofing Location Manager and led the way to adding Elk and Owens Corning to the company's flagship GAF roofing brand.
In 1987, DWBSI had the opportunity to acquire Sunbelt Moulding Company. Eddie Jones, Jack Carson and the dedicated folks at Sunbelt helped DWBSI dramatically increase its moulding presence and the geography it served. DWBSI moved to a 12-acre property in east Dallas and consolidated its new acquisition into the property as well. But 1987 also brought tremendous challenges. This same year Vernon Potter elevated himself to Chairman and promoted Byron Potter to President and CEO in order to give clear leadership and direction to the company during the crisis.
Quitting was not an option. Sticking to its principles and faith, the Company became stronger than before. After five years of difficult business conditions, 1992's efforts finally brought a profit, which was doubled in 1993 and doubled again in 1994. DWBSI had survived its most serious test to-date.
Stabilized business conditions allowed the company to begin thinking more strategically. The Company built a Round Rock Building Material Branch in 1995. DWBSI became "DW Distribution Inc" in 1997 to reflect the commitment and focus to the dealer business.
The Company sold its east Dallas location in 1999 and on 21 acres in DeSoto, TX, constructed new offices and its flagship Millwork Distribution Center. The Company acquired Northeast Texas Wholesale Lumber in Greenville, Texas in 2002, allowing it to add a complete lumber offering to its building material branches. In 2005, DW finished Phase II in DeSoto with its 144,000 sq. ft. DeSoto Door Fabrication Plant and 60,000 sq. ft. Loading Canopy.
DW's leadership continues its strategic journey, always looking for better ways to partner with vendors and serve customers. Vernon Potter continues as Chairman of the Board; Byron Potter is Vice-Chairman and CEO; and Nathan Potter, Byron's eldest son, presides as President. The company's commitment to industry improvement has led to active relationships with such organizations as the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW), Texas A&M's School of Industrial Distribution, and the Lumberman's Association of Texas (LAT). DW's commitment today reflects the founding motivation to avoid "big" and "office politics".
The demographics and economic growth drivers in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico and Louisiana remain strong and will continue to generate growth for the future. DW is very proud of our long term vendor and customer relationships and look forward to growing with both for years to come.
DW operates a fleet of 40+ semi tractors and a specialized fleet of trailers. In late 2012, our entire fleet will be upgraded to 2013 Freightliner Cascadia units. This will provide us with the newest and most fuel efficient fleet. DW was the industry leader who first began using curtain side trailers and has continued to customize its trailer platform and securement systems to ensure damage free, quick access and ease of loading and unloading. Your millwork products are staged and loaded under our covered canopy to ensure your merchandise is protected from the elements until they are delivered safely and timely to you.

This week, though, they are in for a treat, economists say.
The Fed's policy-making committee ends a two-day meeting on Wednesday and the chances are vanishingly small that it will start to dial down the monetary stimulus right away.
Editor's Note: Ordinary Man Retires at 42. His Secret to Success . . .
The recent government shutdown in Washington and last-gasp deal to raise the federal debt ceiling have simply created too much economic uncertainty.
As a result, the usefulness of September figures on industrial output, retail sales and consumer prices as well as the Institute of Supply Management's October manufacturing survey will be limited.
Apart from a dearth of 'clean' data for the Fed to analyse, the labour market's lacklustre performance has convinced many economists that the Fed will delay 'tapering' until 2014. What more could liquidity-driven markets ask for?
Jamie Dannhauser of Lombard Street Research, a London consultancy, expects the Fed to start curtailing its bond buying in the first quarter of next year, by which time Bernanke will have been succeeded by his dovish deputy, Janet Yellen, and to end asset purchases by the end of 2014.
Dannhauser is bullish on the U.S. economy, not least because stiff fiscal headwinds will ease next year.
But he said the Fed was likely to maintain very significant monetary stimulus until growth gets closer to pre-crisis trends. Thus a rise in short-term interest rates was unlikely until well into 2015.
"Tapering and even an end to asset purchases are very different from a withdrawal of stimulus," Dannhauser said.
"The U.S. economy still has a very big hole that needs to be filled, and people like Bernanke and Yellen are very acutely aware of this point."
Many economists, while agreeing that an emergency policy response was needed in 2008, worry that since the 1987 stock market crash central bankers and governments have been too quick to ease in downturns and too slow to tighten in recoveries.
Treats are nice, but too much chocolate can make you ill.
When he was chief economist at the Bank for International Settlements, Bill White issued a series of prescient pre-crisis warnings of bubbles and imbalances that were building up in the global economy. He was politely ignored.
Editor's Note: Stocks to Drop 90%? These 5 Charts Reveal Why . . .
White worries that policy makers are not learning the lessons. It will be harder to return to strong, sustainable growth because fiscal and monetary stimulus is storing up medium-term difficulties, he told a London audience last week.
"Not least of them is that the very easy monetary conditions that we've seen since the crisis have basically impeded the process of deleveraging," White said.
In the Group of 20 leading economies, government, household and corporate debt is now 30 percent greater than it was before the crisis, he said, citing BIS figures.
"We haven't actually dealt yet with the problems of the advanced market economies and in addition, with the crisis having spread to the emerging market economies, we now have a problem that is bigger than before," White said.
Central banks are certainly sending out dovish signals.
The Bank of Japan is intent on doubling its monetary base in two years. The Bank of England, playing down the risk of moral hazard, last week eased its liquidity-provision rules. The Bank of Canada surprised markets by signalling it will not raise interest rates any time soon.
"And while the People's Bank of China has recently tightened liquidity, the extensive influence of Fed policy on global liquidity cycles suggests easy conditions will prevail. Markets are extending their run on this supportive policy outlook," Gustavo Reis of Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a note.
Investigation: China Secretly Stockpiling Gold
The European Central Bank has an easing bias, too, and figures from the euro zone are likely to confirm why the bank expects its main policy rate to stay low for an extended period.
Unemployment was probably unchanged in September at a near-record 12 percent, according to economists, who expect that inflation in the year to October held steady at 1.1 percent.
The ECB's definition of price stability is just below 2 percent and new forecasts by its staff in December are likely to project inflation remaining well below this target in 2014 and 2015, according to Greg Fuzesi at JP Morgan in London.
That would significantly reinforce the ECB's forward guidance on its policy stance, Fuzesi said in a report.
"We think it would also put the focus on the much bigger question of why the central bank is not doing more to lift growth and prevent inflation from undershooting its target for so long," he wrote.

Gorgias: Helping ecommerce retailers automate customer support
About Gorgias
Gorgias offers a customer support helpdesk solution specifically designed for Shopify retailers. Its Software as a Service (SaaS) helpdesk provides live chat, social media channel integration, and rule-based autoresponders. Founded in 2016, the company is based in San Francisco and has more than 350 merchants using its helpdesk software.
Tell us your challenge. We're here to help.Contact us
Gorgias reduced its cloud infrastructure costs, supported growth, and streamlined operations by using Google Cloud Platform and Google Kubernetes Engine.
Google Cloud Results
- Supports anticipated 10x growth in data volume and customers
- Streamlines operations with unified production environment
- Simplifies programming in Python
Reduces monthly cloud infrastructure costs by 5x or more
Gorgias develops software designed to help Shopify retailers be at least twice as efficient in providing customer support. That's no small job, as consumers engage with brands today across multiple channels, including online chat and social media. The need to provide satisfying customer support regardless of channel is critical. A McKinsey study affirms this, noting that 70% of the buying experience is influenced by how customers feel about the way brands treat them.
But many retailers—especially smaller ecommerce companies with limited resources—often struggle to provide the support customers need. In addition, many of the tasks involved in helping customers can be repetitive and time consuming.
For these and other reasons, the need for the Gorgias Software as a Service (SaaS) solution became clear to its co-founders Alex Plugaru and Romain Lapeyre after they released the company's first product in 2015, a free Google Chrome extension.
In a previous job as a web developer, Alex helped out with customer support on the side. He wanted to learn more about how customers felt about the company's products. And he felt there was a need for software to help support representatives to more easily communicate with customers. The Gorgias Google Chrome extension started as a way to provide templates for individuals, sales teams, and customer support reps to automate responses in Gmail and other communications platforms.
Alex and Romain soon noticed that the Google Chrome extension was indeed popular with customer support reps. Consequently, they expanded the Gorgias extension into a full-featured SaaS product. The solution integrates with Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, phone support apps, SMS, Shopify, Recharge, and other platforms to unify customer support channels in one platform. Gorgias also uses its own implementation of machine learning models that enable it to develop rules-based automated responses for customer support and sales.
"Google Cloud Platform is extremely competitive in pricing. The total amount we spend every month for Google Cloud Platform is more than 5x less than what we spent just on our cloud provider's relational database service."—Alex Plugaru, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Gorgias
Gorgias leverages Google Cloud Platform to support its SaaS helpdesk solution for Shopify retailers. Separately, Shopify recently chose Google Cloud Platform to help host its online stores. Gorgias switched to Google Cloud Platform to reduce its monthly IT infrastructure costs, streamline operations with the unified production environment that Google Kubernetes Engine provides, and take advantage of the platform's multi-layered security.
Initially, Gorgias ran its Google Chrome extension software off a single data center server managed by another provider. As Gorgias matured from a Google Chrome extension to a SaaS solution, however, it became clear that it required a more cost-effective, flexible IT infrastructure in the cloud. "We're expecting a 10x growth in terms of data volume as well as customers in the near future, so we needed an infrastructure that could grow with us," says Alex, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder at Gorgias.
More than 5x savings
Gorgias moved to a cloud infrastructure service, but soon after found that the service's data storage usage costs were expensive. "We were doing machine learning tasks, and we were training models a lot," says Alex. "Because we were putting a heavy input/output strain on our storage, it was expensive. We could have done some optimization to minimize the input/output load, but that wasn't the best use of our time."
In 2016, Gorgias migrated to Google Cloud Platform. "Google Cloud Platform is extremely competitive in pricing," says Alex. "The total amount we spend every month for Google Cloud Platform is more than 5x less than what we spent just on our cloud provider's relational database service."
Easier programming
Gorgias uses the open source Python programming language for software development, web programming, and other back-end tasks. With its former cloud provider, Gorgias had to use a third-party interface to access the Python library and tools. The cloud provider and the third-party interface used different API versions, which made working in Python difficult.
"Programming is so much easier than it was with our previous cloud provider," says Alex. "With Google Cloud Platform, we now have access to a single Python library that our cloud provider supports, the documentation is extensive, and we don't have to deal with different sets of APIs."
"Google Cloud Platform doesn't lock us into a proprietary technology, which is important, given that technology is a key part of our infrastructure. Google has deep Kubernetes expertise, and the fact that Kubernetes is integrated into Google Cloud Platform made switching to the platform a no-brainer."—Alex Plugaru, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Gorgias
How Kubernetes should work
The open source Kubernetes system makes it easier to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications. Gorgias saw an immediate difference using Kubernetes on Google Kubernetes Engine compared to using the proprietary version of container orchestration offered by its previous cloud provider.
"Google Cloud Platform doesn't lock us into a proprietary technology, which is important, given that technology is a key part of our infrastructure," says Alex. "Google has deep Kubernetes expertise and the fact that Kubernetes is integrated into Google Cloud Platform made switching to the platform a no-brainer."
He adds that compared to the previous cloud provider's container orchestration, Google Kubernetes Engine has more features, is more mature, and has a community of core developers from Google and other technology companies. "We really benefit from the new features and bug fixes that other developers have tested in their production environments," Alex says.
Gorgias manages Google Compute Engine virtual machine instances through Google Kubernetes Engine in one cluster for production. Similarly, the team uses a few Google Compute Engine virtual machines in a separate cluster as a staging and testing environment.
"We run basically everything, including our databases and web services, in one big Kubernetes cluster. We don't use virtual machines directly," says Alex. "Google Kubernetes Engine gives us a single unified environment for deployment and production, which helps us move faster."
Multi-layered security
The multi-layered infrastructure security built into Google Cloud Platform gives the Gorgias team, as well as the company's customers, confidence that their data is well protected—which is especially important in maintaining consumers' confidence in the ecommerce sites where they shop. "Our customers ask us about how we store and protect their data," says Alex. "When we explain to them how Google uses multiple layers of encryption and other security measures to protect customer data at rest, it puts their minds at ease."
"Google Cloud Platform frees us up from a lot of DevOps work, so we can focus on developing our product instead of our infrastructure. We really don't have to deal much with the cloud and that is exactly what you want from a cloud provider."—Alex Plugaru, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Gorgias
Not having to deal with the cloud
Google Cloud Platform has large communities on Slack and Stack Overflow that make it easy to get quick answers to questions or advice. "The strong community support is a major advantage in using Google Cloud Platform," says Alex. "Because there's such a large and active community, I can get answers to questions right away, which saves me time."
Most importantly, Gorgias receives valuable technical support—and strategic advice—from Google. "Google engineers walked us through the initial Google Cloud Platform setup," says Alex. "They worked directly with us, answering all our questions along the way. And they continue to give us great guidance, pointing out future projects and features that could be helpful to us." For example, Alex says he learned about the Spinnaker continuous delivery platform and Helm Kubernetes package manager, both open source, from his Google customer engineer.
The single unified environment that Google Kubernetes Engine provides, plus the support Gorgias receives from Google, remove a lot of operational burdens from the team. "Google Cloud Platform frees us up from a lot of DevOps work, which allows us to focus on developing our product instead of our infrastructure," he says. "We don't have to deal with the cloud that much, which is exactly what you want from a cloud provider."

(ISC)2 ("ISC-squared") has announced a new certification designed to validate secure software development practices and expertise to address the increasing number of application vulnerabilities.
The Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLPcm) aims to stem the proliferation of security vulnerabilities resulting from insufficient development processes by establishing best practices and validating an individual's competency in addressing security issues throughout the software lifecycle. It takes a holistic approach to software security. Code-language neutral, it will be applicable to anyone involved in the SLC, including analysts, developers, software engineers, software architects, project managers, software quality assurance testers and programmers.
"Over 70 percent of security vulnerabilities exist at the application layer, presenting a significant, immediate threat to users worldwide," said Howard A. Schmidt, (ISC)2 board member and newly appointed president of the Information Security Forum (ISF). "All too often, security is bolted on at the end of the SLC as a response to a threat or after an exposure. The time to act is now, because new applications that lack basic security controls are being developed every day, and thousands of existing vulnerabilities are being ignored." .
(ISC)2 executive director W. Hord Tipton added that "Unsecured software is not only a danger to the enterprise, it can cause higher production costs and delays for the software developer, and require additional staff for the end-user as well. The CSSLP will be a key component in better critical infrastructure protection, reducing the risk of software malpractice suits, and enabling stricter adherence to industry and government regulations."
Subject areas covered by the CSSLP exam will include the software lifecycle, vulnerabilities, risk, information security fundamentals and compliance. Candidates must demonstrate four years of professional experience in the SLC process or three years of experience and a bachelor's degree (or regional equivalent) in an IT discipline.
The seven domains of the CSSLP CBK, a compendium of secure software topics, are:
- Secure Software Concepts
- Secure Software Requirements
- Secure Software Design
- Secure Software Implementation/Coding
- Secure Software Testing
- Software Acceptance
- Software Deployment, Operations, Maintenance and Disposal
The first CSSLP exam is scheduled for the end of June in 2009. Currently, (ISC)2 is seeking qualified professionals who meet experience and other requirements to participate in the assessment. They will become the first CSSLP holders and be asked to contribute to the exam development process and assist in other program development tasks. Applications for the CSSLP experience assessment will be accepted from September 25, 2008 through March 31, 2009, with the first education seminars slated for Q1 2009.

Club Creative Studio loves to share creative low-cost ideas on Two-Cent Tuesday. Today, the blog has a focus on an inexpensive project that will improve or change your world with the use of spray paint.
If you want a dramatic look in lighting, consider spray-painting your fixture black. I recently took this photo of a beautiful crystal chandelier at The Union League in Philadelphia. I thought while admiring it that this look could be replicated easily and cheaply with black spray paint. If however, you have a metal light fixture or anything made from galvanized steel, there are considerations for paints. Galvanized steel is a metal for example that is difficult to paint. So, knowing the material you are working with first and foremost is important so that you are not wasting your time or money in your creative process. Check the can labels to recognize the best spray can type for your projects.
Getting back to Galvanized steel for example, that material cannot be painted with normal alkyd-based paints, which almost all spray paints are based. It is suggested that if there is any "alkyd…" don't even think about using it on your steel project. Looking on the aisle shelf, the brand "Rust-o-leum" does put on the back of their spray paint cans a warning not to use their spray paint on galvanized steel. However, beware that most spray paint companies do not include this warning.
So what makes that metal so difficult? It is steel that has a zinc coating to increase the steels corrosion (rust) resistance. It's "hot-dip galvanization" is a process that makes it similar to steel with large visible grains. Using spray paint to other materials is not as difficult to choose.
Need ideas on what to spray in your home for a new creative twist? How about these suggestions: cabinet knobs and other fixture handles, frames for photos or mirrors, light switch plates, file cabinets or storage furniture, light fixtures, lamps, chandeliers, candle holders, appliances, radiators, steam risers, and even plastic, wood, wicker, and metal furniture.
A pro of using spray paint over brush application paints is that spray paint creates a smooth surface as opposed to brushing on paint. Faux textures like stone and granite as well as unique finishes like a clear coating and metallic are available for your experimentation. Suggested tips for great results are on all can labels. You may need to gain extra supplies and endure additional steps besides a quick spray. Primer, sanding, or wire-brushing may be needed, depending on the object and the paint. So while this process can be low-cost, it does have a small percentage of cost associated with it depending on the size of your project and the type of spray paint you require.
No matter if you are making a cosmetic change or improving a home item like a flaking barbecue grill, spray paint is a great option to a quick change or improvement. Using spray paint for an improvement is a low-cost idea that can help in a creative improvement solution. Let us know if you have used spray paint in a recent project. Taking a before and after photograph can be helpful to appreciate how far a project has come.

Water treatment supplier sold to Belgian group
A leading UK supplier of water treatment equipment has been sold to a Belgium-headquartered international group, in a deal advised by BCMS.
Pollet Water Group (PWG) has acquired Cambridgeshire-based UVO3 from founders Peter and Jill Wadsworth for an undisclosed sum.
Ultra violet water treatment technology is rapidly growing in popularity as an alternative to conventional chemical and filtration treatment. Initially used in medical sanitation, UV sterilisation is now used commercially by companies in drinking water, industrial processes and waste water.
Founded in 2002 by water industry veteran Peter Wadsworth, UVO3 is a leading supplier of UV disinfection equipment to households and installation contractors, including its own best-selling brand Atlas UV.
PWG has been supplying components and complete water systems since 1975, with operations in 20 countries and over 800 employees. The group already has a presence in the UK market, and UVO3 will remain a standalone operation within PWG.
PWG President Jacques Pollet said: "The integration of UVO3 into PWG should enable us to provide customers with even better deliveries and services. And with the additional resources of PWG will help UVO3 grow and develop new products and markets for UV technology."
Sofie Pollet and Peter Evans have been appointed as directors, while Peter and Jill Wadsworth will remain at UVO3 in a consultancy role for the next six months to ensure a smooth transition of ownership.
Peter Wadsworth commented: "Both Jill and I are looking forward to handing over the business and going to do something else, knowing that UVO3 is in great shape with strong margins and a very bright future."
BCMS advised the founders, and BCMS Deal Leader Mark Lucas said afterwards: "We are often one of the first to help industries grow by connecting SME clients with larger acquirers and investors to help them scale up. Peter and Jill were great clients, and Pollet Water is an emerging international player in a fragmented market, so we will be watching developments in this sector with interest."

"That's where it's at," said Mylonas, a leader of Cats Eyes Imaging, a printing and embroidery company based in Astoria that works with small businesses, large corporations and other organizations.
After majoring in marketing and public relations, 32-year-old Mylonas decided to pursue her interest in bringing businesses to the online world.
A native of Melvin, Australia, Mylonas moved to Astoria seven years ago for a job working for Scholastic Book Club's online department. Mylonas worked at relaunching the book club's online website.
"I wanted to get more experience in the technological arena and New York City is the place to be," she said.
After a year, she moved on to working with Cats Eye Imaging. Though the company has been around for the past 10 years, in the last year it started a subdivision called Cats Eye Webs, offering professional web design, web development, online marketing, SEO and other services to help bring businesses online.
"Yellow Pages is on its way out and everything is going online," Mylonas said.
Mylonas has worked with several different companies, such as Sacco and Fillas, Life Health and Fitness, Century 21 Alexiou Realty, William Hallet, Athens Square Park and many others.
"We work with anything from nonprofits to big corporations," she said. "The important part is getting them to come on the web."
In particular, Mylonas said getting businesses accustomed to the web involves associating them with different social media tools, such as Facebook, Twitter and other programs, and creating a website to draw in new customers.
"It's all about using cross-promotion between the different types of media to draw in new people," she said.
Mylonas said her goal with Cat's Eye Webs is to start connecting businesses by bringing them into the online world.
"In this Internet age, people have the potential to be more connected than ever before," Mylonas said. "Cat's Eye Webs would like to be the platform to deliver this to the community."

Boulle et al.1 queried whether a clinical trial was needed to provide the evidence for the mortality benefits of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation during tuberculosis (TB) treatment. While several experts, including foremost TB-HIV scientists from South Africa2 and the USA,3 senior World Health Organization (WHO)4 and UNAIDS5 officials at the time the study was initiated, the 2003 WHO AIDS Treatment Guidelines Committee Chair3, the Chair of the Ethics Committee6 and the researchers,7 have previously addressed the points raised, the SAPIT (Starting Antiretroviral Therapy at Three Points in Tuberculosis) research team welcomes the opportunity also to address the comments. We hold Boulle and his colleagues in high regard and appreciate their contributions to the field of HIV and tuberculosis co-infection. More importantly, we share with them the common goal of rigorously and relentlessly seeking answers to critically important research questions as we confront the devastating dual AIDS and tuberculosis epidemics.
The SAPIT trial,8 which was developed in 2004, set out to assess whether integrating tuberculosis and AIDS treatment would lead to improved outcomes compared with the widely practised approach of treating them sequentially. The trial's Safety Monitoring Committee halted the sequential treatment arm in September 2008 because of a 56% lower mortality rate in the integrated treatment arm. We systematically address the queries on equipoise and standard of care.
Did the SAPIT study have clinical equipoise?
Yes, the optimal timing of ART initiation in patients with tuberculosis was not known at the time the trial was planned and conducted.
Availability of, and experience in providing, ART in developing countries, including South Africa, was limited before 2004, and even less was known about the timing of ART initiation in tuberculosis-HIV co-infected patients. Treatment guidelines were either silent on this issue or contained tentative and provisional guidance largely based on expert opinion, due to the lack of reliable and compelling evidence. The 2003 WHO guidelines specifically mention this limitation and that their recommendations are 'Pending ongoing studies ...'.9
The SAPIT trial had clinical equipoise because the balance between the potential increase in morbidity and mortality due to combined antiretroviral-tuberculosis drug intolerance, drug-drug interactions and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) on the one hand and the potential improved morbidity and mortality from early antiretroviral initiation on the other were unknown.9 Published data on IRIS-associated morbidity and mortality at the time were limited, not least owing to substantial under-reporting resulting from the lack of a consistent case definition of what constituted IRIS. A WHO consultation10 in 2005 highlighted the problem of inadequate data on IRIS and recommended that 'validating the definition of IRIS' be regarded as a research priority. When the standardised case definition of IRIS was published in 2008, the authors pointed out that this definition will help clinicians by providing insight into the incidence, clinical manifestations and impact of TB-associated IRIS.11
Boulle et al. cite two retrospective chart review studies12-13 undertaken in the UK to support their argument that the beneficial effect of ART during TB therapy was already known. The first included 159 patients with TB and HIV who were not on ART at presentation, 45% of whom were subsequently initiated on ART by the treating clinicians.12 Just over a third of the latter patients had either TB or HIV treatment discontinued because of adverse events, making interpretations of safety and effectiveness difficult. The second compared outcomes in 36 patients with TB and HIV in a pre-antiretroviral era with 60 patients in the antiretroviral era.13 Both studies provide useful initial descriptive information on experiences in co-treatment, but do not provide the quality of evidence essential for the development of clinical guidelines and treatment policy. Some co-treatment challenges are epitomised in the statement: 'More doubts than certainties are available on which basing the decision on how to cope therapeutically with active tuberculosis developing in a patient also requiring antiretroviral treatment.'14
The existence of equipoise was confirmed by several levels of scientific, regulatory and ethical review, including independent approval from the Medicines Control Council and the Biomedical Research Ethics Committee of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (a US Office for Human Research Protections-accredited ethics committee), which also oversees research conducted by several of the co-authors of the critique.1 The SAPIT trial was undertaken after widespread consultation in scientific and community forums, including presentations and dedicated sessions at the South African AIDS conferences in 2003 and 2005. Importantly, a rationale for the trial was published in the peer-reviewed literature before its initiation.15
Were the patients in the SAPIT trial provided the best standard of care?
Yes, the SAPIT trial provided the prevailing best standard of care for antiretroviral initiation, viz. clinician judgement. Clinicians with prior experience in treating TB-HIV co-infected patients were in a position throughout the study to initiate patients (who were seen daily during the week in the directly observed treatment programme) on ART at any time, based on their clinical judgement.
On their point of adequacy of the standard of care provided to patients in the SAPIT trial, Boulle et al.1 quote from the World Medical Association's Declaration of Helsinki:16 '... "the best current" intervention should be provided as the standard of care to patients in studies ...'. In doing so, they omit the crucial word 'proven'; paragraph 32 of the current Declaration (quoted and referenced in their article) stated in full is: 'The benefits, risks, burdens and effectiveness of a new intervention must be tested against those of the best current proven intervention ...' (our italics).
While it was well recognised that HIV and TB co-infected patients with low CD4+ counts had a higher mortality, it was not proven that early antiretroviral initiation in TB co-infected patients improved morbidity and mortality. The 2003 WHO AIDS treatment guidelines, which informed the 2004 South African AIDS treatment guidelines, stated clearly that recommendations on the initiation of ART in TB co-infected patients were 'provisional', since the 'optimal time to initiate [antiretroviral agents] in patients with [tuberculosis] is not known'.17 Such tentative guidance cannot be considered a proven intervention. To further confirm that that this was not proven, a WHO consultation in 2005 on management of patients with HIV and TB concluded that the optimal time for initiating ART in HIV and TB co-infected patients is 'the major research priority'.10
Was this trial needed for tuberculosis and HIV treatment?
Yes, the SAPIT trial informed the new WHO treatment guidelines.
Retrospective chart reviews, such as cited by Boulle et al. in support of initiation of ART during TB treatment, are seldom regarded as sufficient evidence for authoritative treatment guidelines, as they are prone to many biases and are rarely effective in influencing clinician practices. In 2009, the WHO guidelines18 were updated to provide definitive advice on the timing of antiretroviral initiation in patients with TB and HIV, drawing upon the results of the SAPIT trial. On World AIDS Day in 2009, the South African government also announced19 a change in TB-HIV co-treatment guidelines, drawing on the SAPIT trial results.
The SAPIT trial provided the essential evidence on the risks and benefits on integrated HIV and TB treatment to guide clinicians and inform both global and local policy on HIV and TB treatment. We now have the collective opportunity and the responsibility to ensure that patients with TB and HIV are rapidly diagnosed and are initiated on ART during TB treatment.

Webster Partners with MARITAGE International to Develop Scholarship Opportunities
Sep. 11, 2013
ST. LOUIS, September 11, 2013 – During her recent visit to Indonesia, Webster President Elizabeth J. "Beth" Stroble was an honored guest at the launch of MARITAGE Indonesia, part of the global MARITAGE International non-profit initiative that seeks to economically empower female artisan groups in developing countries through collaboration with the public and private sectors. The movement seeks to enhance women's skills and creativity, and improve their access to quality health care and education.
During the event, Stroble and officials from MARITAGE International announced plans
to explore a potential scholarship program dedicated to women whose needs and interests
match those of both institutions. The goal of the program is to build capacity among
women toward stronger economies in a time of changing demographics.
"There is a natural and strategic connection between educating girls and empowering women, which is a global imperative to an improved livelihood of women around the world," Stroble said. "Improving children's and women's health and education is fundamental to empowering women's leadership and productivity, which, in turn, will increase women's financial resources. Ultimately, improved financial resources will result in improved health and education for themselves and their families. MARITAGE is an ideal organization for Webster to partner with because we both focus on developing entrepreneurial talents of underprivileged women in the developing world."
Stroble also has been selected as MARITAGE's "Honorary for Global Knowledge" for her
role in leading a global academicuniversity. As part of this honor, Stroble will speak during MARITAGE's launch of
"A Shawl for All Women" campaign in November in New York City. During the event, art
produced by women around the world will be presented, displayed and deliberated at
a series of lectures and roundtable discussions. Innovators, business leaders, government
representatives, international dignitaries, academia and other non-governmental organizations
will form partnerships that further multicultural art and heritage as a vehicle for
sustainable development.
At the event, Stroble will discuss Webster's origin as one of the first U.S. women's colleges west of the Mississippi River, the strong place of the arts in Webster's history and academic identity, and the university's truly global mission serving students in 60 cities, eight countries and four continents. She will describe the importance of investments in girls' and women's education and health as a result of building the capacity of women to thrive as artists and entrepreneurs.

If I had to cop to something, it'd be Pringle's Gourmet - I buy them particularly because the can is way smaller since I can't avoid eating the whole thing at one sitting.
By definition, all Pringle's come in single-serving cans. Regardless of can size.

12 Poutines in 12 Days in Vancouver
File this under "Posts I Should Not Read On an Empty Stomach": a round up of 12 poutines in 12 days in Vancouver, eaten by Phyllis and her husband Kris of me HUNGRY! during their trip from New York. The poutines are scored under four characteristics—fries, gravy, cheese, and overall balance—on a scale of 40 points. They found the best poutine at Brado Pizza, run by a former resident of Montreal (the birthplace of poutine) who brought his love of poutine to Vancouver five years ago. "Everything was perfectly seasoned and the proportions were right on," Phyllis says.
At the end of the post, Phyllis shares information on where to buy cheese curds and poutine mix, and where to get poutine if you live in New Jersey or New York City.
