Of Course D.C. Should Be A StateComments
Some people may have missed it in comments, but there was a debate about D.C. statehood and the malapportionment of the Senate in the Calhoun thread that is worth its own post. Let's combine a couple of Murc comments:
DC absolutely should not be a state. It should be merged into Maryland. Having two Senators for a tiny postage stamp of land is just as ridiculous as having two Senators for the tiny handful of people who live in the vast empty swathes of Wyoming.
Ideally, we'd simply adopt a more sensible method of apportionment, but absent that, the way to give DC residents representation is to send the land back to whence it came.
[Responding to an argument that "DC has been a separate political entity for as long as Kentucky has, and forcing them to unify with a state they were part of 200 years ago is silly."] Then we'll never reform the Senate. Ever. Because most states have been separate political entities for extremely long periods of time as well. By your logic it would be 'silly' to force them into different configurations.
Look, let's start with this — the Senate will in fact be "reformed" by eliminating its malapportionment never. First of all, Article V says that "no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate." And even if we assume that this provision can be amended, it is essentially superfluous because the amendment process established previously in Article V makes the Senate's malapportionment permanent. The idea a significant numbers of small states (both through their state legislatures and their representatives in the Senate) are not only going to vote to greatly dilute their political influence but would be so motivated to do so that they would be able to satisfy the onerous supermajority requirements imposed by Article V is ludicrous in the extreme. It's like saying that it's no big deal for the Greens to throw presidential elections to Republicans because they favor a constitutional amendment that would create a national right to obtain an abortion, only less plausible. Comparing D.C. statehood to an ideal institutional arrangement that the Constitution forecloses is an entirely useless exercise.
Once we accept the obvious fact that Senate malapportionment is a permanent feature of the American political landscape, we can get to the more relevant question of whether D.C. statehood makes this problem better or worse. And the answer is quite clearly "better." One reason Senate malapportionment is so problematic is that the overrepresentation of small states isn't random but ends up in white, rural states in particular being massively overrepresented. Granting statehood to a diverse, urban small state would make this problem better. And in addition, there's a rather obvious injustice to granting statehood to a substantial number of tiny white, rural states and then pulling the ladder up just in time to deny representation to D.C. and Puerto Rico. Having 51 or 52 states rather than 50 doesn't make Senate malapportionment meaningfully worse, and granting statehood to some different kinds of states would on balance make the Senate more representative. And granting D.C. statehood wouldn't require a constitutional amendment, just unified Democratic control of a Congress from which the filibuster has been eliminated from the Senate (which I think is nearly inevitable in the medium term), or a realignment that causes more small, rural states to vote like Vermont and Maine.
So if D.C. (or Puerto Rico) want statehood, they should get it; it's a no-brainer.

Easter Island's mysterious moai statues face environmental threat

If you have always been intrigued by the mysterious moai - the giant stone statues of Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island - and they are on your must-do list, do not delay.
Make your way, whenever you can, to this small, rocky, triangular-shaped and extremely isolated island in the South Pacific, 9,354 kilometres due east of Brisbane.
"These objects are very friable, they're fragile, they're not going to last forever," Dr Jo Anne Van Tilburg, an American archaeologist who has been studying the moai for 30 years, says.
Dr Van Tilburg's co-director at the Easter Island Statue Project, Cristián Arévalo Pakarati, says there is evidence time is running out.
"I've been seeing already in 27 years statues being degraded to the ground," he said.
"It's melted to the ground. It's soil now. It's not a statue anymore."
Rapa Nui, a colonial possession of Chile, is particularly open to severe weather.
"We have the rain, we have the strong wind, we have these extreme temperatures in summer and winter where, for example, the statue would be exposed to the sun for eight hours with a very strong heat and then suddenly a cloud would appear," Mr Pakarati says.
"You can imagine the reaction of dropping (water) onto a very hot surface, so that would provoke a lot of breaking, microscopic breaking at that point, little by little on the surface of the stone."
Dr Van Tilburg says the threat to the moai is very serious.
"We have a database that we can go back and look at the pictures of the statues whenever we feel like it over the years, and we can see when we visit them in the field that they don't look the same," she said.
"Details are gone. But they live in Cristián's drawings, they live in our photographs, they live in our biographies, our records."
Scientists track weather patterns to find cause of erosion
Dr Van Tilburg and Mr Pakarati have documented and mapped every moai on Rapa Nui – all 1,045 of them.
Their current focus is moai 156, which they have been excavating in the inner crater of the extinct Rano Raraku volcano.
A small weather station has been erected in front of it.
"We're monitoring the ambient temperature, the rainfall, the sun, the temperature, the wind direction, the wind velocity, all of these things," Dr Van Tilburg says.
"And at the end of a five-year period, when we complete our work in this, in this particular quarry, we'll be able to report what we know is attacking the statue."
Since the oldest moai may date back as far as 900 years, it is perhaps not surprising that some have not aged well.
Many of those that were erected on ceremonial platforms, known as ahu, and closest to the coast, are quite battered.
The definition of elongated ears, deep set eyes, long hands fashioned into wings and heads have been eroded or in some cases obliterated.
Equally, though, some statues, made of the hardest rock and in sheltered locations, remain in good shape. Some stand tall in dramatic locations, others are leaning over or lying back in the grass as though enjoying a siesta in the sun.
A significant number no longer stand, having either fallen or possibly been pushed over in the tumult of clan warfare. Face plants are common, particularly alongside the paths on which the multi-tonne monoliths were being transported to pre-determined locations.
Coral-eyed statues pass on power of ancestors
Rapa Nui was settled by Polynesians who had sailed thousands of kilometres across the Pacific.
About 1100 to 1200AD their society, which had evolved in isolation from the rest of the world, embarked on an extraordinary period of religious and artistic expression.
Using stone tools, Rapa Nui people carved out of volcanic rock increasingly large and elaborate representations of their ancestors.
The moai were believed to have supernatural powers and were placed so as to watch over their clans and lands.
They were said to pass on their full power – or mana – when fitted with coral eyes. Only one moai at Tahai, near the island's only town, Hanga Roa, has eyes permanently in place.
But even without them many moai, by virtue of their exceptional size and expression, project power.
"There are some Rapa Nui people who have said to me, if the statues are dying that's natural," Dr Van Tilburg said.
"The body over time will cease to exist. That's one point of view.
"There's another point of view which says that once the spirit is no longer in the statue, the statue itself is of no value."
She does not share that view.
"I care what happens to it (the moai) and so do conservators and archaeologists and the vast majority of Rapa Nui people.
"Because it's an icon, it's a symbol, it's something that recalls the tremendous effort that was made by people on this island to express themselves, to speak in one voice, which is a tremendous human accomplishment."
'Process of conservation' needed to protect cultural icons
Mr Pakarati says that the moai have been an enormous gift to modern Rapa Nui people, driving Chilean and international tourism, which is the "wheel" of the local economy, providing accommodation, food and services for more than 50,000 people a year.
Therefore, he says, at least some of the moai need to be protected.
"Like under a dome or at the museum or in a chamber or whatever," he says.
"If you are not allowed to do that maybe group some of them right there in the field without moving them. Put something on top."
Interim protection is being trialled in the form of a chemical water repellent which has been applied to the surface of some of the moai. In the longer term more radical options might be needed.
Dr Van Tilburg says: "Could a museum be built on the island within which five or six, perhaps - statues of the most importance - could be taken and erected and protected? Yes, that's a real option and that should, in my opinion, be considered."
This is a contentious issue for Rapa Nui people, for whom the moai have deep cultural significance.
Mario Tuki, a clan elder and an MP in the local parliament, which is campaigning for independence from Chile, says there needs to be a "process of conservation" because the erosion process has already started.
"If the idea is to take them to a museum, so archaeologists can repair them, I have no objection to that," he said.
"Take them, repair them. But you must bring them back to their place. This is the land of the moai and our ancestors."

Accounting Principals, a job placement agency for financial and accounting professionals, on Friday released the 10 best cities for job seekers interested in the finance and accounting industry.
The list was compiled based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and internal data from Accounting Principals' regional branches. Cities were selected based on projected finance and accounting job opportunities based on the volume of job openings over the past six months, as well as a general assessment of the overall economic environment in each market. They were listed in order of the number of requests for workers in both the temporary and permanent sector in finance and accounting, taking into consideration the size of the market, according to Jodi Chavez, senior vice president for Accounting Principals.
"Smaller markets are seeing the growth that has primarily been reserved for larger markets," Chavez told AdvisorOne on Monday. "It speaks to the fact that there are very good finance and accounting positions across the country. You don't have to live in a major metropolitan area to benefit from those opportunities."
Unemployment is not necessarily low in these cities, but in most it is lower than the national average. In the time between the survey's completion in December 2011 and January 2012, the latest data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment increased in seven of the 10 cities. Chavez (left) said the effect on the financial sector was "not that concerning."
"The unemployment rate for true financial and accounting positions is traditionally dramatically lower than the overall number," she said. "So while the overall number may adjust, we don't think that adjustment is coming from the finance and accounting sector."
Overall, unemployment in the private sector improved in February, as the labor market added 227,000 jobs and the unemployment rate was unchanged from January at 8.3%.
See what the Top 7 Cities for Financial Job Seekers were in 2011.
(Do you disagree with the cities on Account Principals' list? How's the job market in your city? Let us know in the comment section.)
10. Chicago
Population: 9.4 million
Chicago was the only city besides San Francisco to stay on the list in 2012. When Accounting Principals published its top seven cities in 2011, Chicago was No. 4. The city held on to the top 10 through its "dedication to the financial services as well as biotech and pharmaceuticals," Chavez said.
Chicago had one of the highest unemployment rates on the list in December and still did in January, rising from 9.3% to 9.6% in that time period. However, recent growth in the financial services, manufacturing, real estate and legal industries, as well as a close proximity to strong business schools, give it a leg up over other cities.
"Chicago is a very robust market, very similar to New York or San Francisco in terms of its diversity of companies," Chavez said.
9. Raleigh, N.C.
Population: 1.1 million
Before the recession, Raleigh was one of the fastest growing regions in the country. It has fared relatively well through the downturn compared with other cities.
"Raleigh seems to have been able to ride out the downturn because of their diversification of companies," Chavez said. "Raleigh is interesting because it's a smaller market, but it's very diverse. It houses health care, but it also has technology and pharmaceuticals as well as biotech. Biotech was one that we didn't see that industry hit as severely as the others."
Biotechnology, health care and pharmaceuticals are top hiring industries, in addition to technology and education. In fact, three major universities in the area contribute to a rich base of skilled potential workers.
The survey notes that no single industry dominates, and even within sectors there is a wide range of companies. Other factors that draw potential workers to the city include "great weather [and] Southern hospitality."
Unemployment increased to 8.4% in January from 8% in December.
8. Overland Park/Kansas City, Kan.
Population: 173,372 (Kansas City metro area: 2 million)
Financial services, especially the mortgage industry, engineering, transportation and manufacturing and consumer products are the top industries hiring in Overland Park and Kansas City, but the survey notes that much of the hiring growth in the area is temporary.
"This allows companies to manage their cost through flexible hiring until they know the final headcount need, as well as to determine if the candidate is a true fit with the company," Chavez said. "As a whole, more companies are using temporary workers for the first time. It's a trend that's starting to catch on."
In the past, companies that hired temporary workers and moved them to more permanent positions seemed to be happy with the strategy, Chavez said. "Now with the economy so much stronger but still a little bit fluid, this is a nice application," she said. "There are more small markets on the list than there were before, and I think a lot of that is coming from the temporary sector."
Unemployment in December was 7.3%, below the national average, and the area was one of the few to enjoy a drop in unemployment in January, when its jobless rate fell to 7.2%.
7. Tulsa, Okla.
Population: 937,478
Of the cities in the top 10, Tulsa has one of the lowest unemployment rates (6.6% in December when the survey was conducted and 7% in January). Tulsa was fortunate enough to make it through the recession with less of a hit than other cities, the survey says.
"They have a strong health care sector, and we saw health care and private education stay somewhat steady through the downturn," Chavez said. "Because of the health care and oil and gas mix that Tulsa offers, that's one of the reasons why we saw that stay somewhat flat."
Tax incentives offered by Oklahoma have also drawn companies to the state, Chavez said.
Even so, as the economy rebounds, qualified candidates can be difficult to find and competition for talent is high.
The cost of living is "reasonable," the survey notes, and offers a strong community of Gen Y workers and high cultural diversity. The top hiring industries are energy, banking, manufacturing and health care.
6. Dallas
Population: 6.3 million
Like in Houston, the energy sector is a major source of growth in Dallas. Oil, gas and energy are the top growing industries in the city, in addition to nonprofits, construction and manufacturing, health care, retail, technology and hospitality.
Although Houston and Dallas have similar unemployment rates overall, and share similar geography (Dallas is about 250 miles north of Houston), companies haven't brought their headquarters to Dallas as often as they have Houston, Chavez said.
The Dallas metropolitan area incorporates Fort Worth and Arlington and covers 12 counties. As one of the biggest cities in the country, there are naturally a lot of job opportunities, the survey notes. Furthermore, the combination of a relatively low unemployment rate (7.2% in December and 7.5% in January) and growing industries gives Dallas more stability than other cities.
5. Atlanta
Population: 5.2 million
Atlanta had the highest unemployment on the list at 9.4% as of December but was one of the few cities that experienced a drop in unemployment, to 9.2% in January. Companies that previously operated with few workers are finally adding to their staffs, the survey found.
An increase in opportunities at attractive companies and a relatively low cost of living has drawn people to the city. Real estate, hospitality and consumer products and manufacturing are the top industries hiring in Atlanta.
4. San Francisco
Population: 4.3 million
In 2011, Accounting Principals ranked San Francisco as the best city in which to find a job in the financial services sector. Its new position at No. 4 is not a reflection of any major negative changes in the city, though.
"It's not a matter of something happened in San Francisco," Chavez said. "It's more a matter of something great happened in the other three cities that they surpassed San Francisco."
If one sector of business is doing poorly in San Francisco, the survey notes, there is another sector that is usually growing. The city enjoys some of the fastest growth among small- to medium-sized business and is home to the most Fortune 500 companies in the world. For that reason, and its proximity to Silicon Valley, Chavez said San Francisco will always be strong. "We expect that it will always maintain a spot in the top 10."
Pay rates are competitive, and the survey calls out the high incidence of telecommuting and a typically casual work atmosphere as contributors to a "great work-life balance."
Unemployment overall in December was 7.3%, rising slightly to 7.5% in January.
3. New York
Population: 8.1 million
Accountants are in high demand in the Big Apple. Four of the five skills in demand listed in the survey were for accounting positions.
New York's popularity in general brings workers from all over, and the survey notes the city's mentoring and competitive edge is high, driving excellence. The city is home to the headquarters of many global organizations.
Ironically, further encouraging job growth in New York is leanness at financial services companies. As some professionals began to feel overworked when the economic recovery started and hiring at their firms didn't pick up, they began looking for other opportunities. The resulting job openings allowed some movement in the financial industry.
Unemployment in December was 8.2%, lower than the national average unemployment rate of 8.5% at the time. In January, unemployment in New York rose to 9.6%.
2. Richmond, Va.
Population: 1.2 million
Richmond has enjoyed high growth in multiple industries, such as financial services, distribution and health care. Reasonable taxes and a low cost of living are also bringing businesses in the financial services sector to the area.
Unemployment overall was 6.8% as of December 2011. Richmond was one of the few cities on the list to enjoy a decrease in unemployment, falling to 6.6% in January. Furthermore, unemployment rates in the accounting and finance industries specifically are lower than in other parts of the country, according to the survey.
1. Houston
Population: 5.9 million
One of Houston's top selling points for the labor market is its energy sector presence. One of the top industries hiring, according to the report, the energy sector also tends to have a large demand for accounting and finance professionals.
"Houston is an interesting market because not only does it have the oil and gas sector, it's a regional headquarter hotspot, providing a lot of companies with a regional location," Chavez said. "Companies traditionally move their financial and accounting departments to a centralized hub, and because of its geography, Houston is a desirable location."
Furthermore, tax incentives in the state, along with the presence of the aforementioned oil and gas industry, made a "very nice combination to grow jobs," Chavez added.
In addition to energy, the technology, manufacturing and service sectors are top hirers in the city.
Overall unemployment was 7.3% as of December 2011, making it one of the largest cities in the country with a jobless rate lower than the national average. In January, the unemployment rate increased to 7.6%, still below the national average of 8.3%.

Caitlyn Jenner introduced herself to the world on Monday by appearing on the cover of "Vanity Fair," breaking the internet and winning practically everyone over with her new look.
And on Tuesday Mike Huckabee also started making waves online… for being a total creep.
At the National Religious Broadcasters Convention back in February, the former Arkansas governor was discussing the issue of gender identity, when he made an offensive joke that mocked people who are transgender.
"Now I wish that someone told me that when I was in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE," he said. "I'm pretty sure that I would have found my feminine side and said, 'Coach, I think I'd rather shower with the girls today.'"
World Net Daily uploaded the video to YouTube this past weekend, so it just started to get national attention this week.
Any sliver of a chance he had a becoming president just went down the drain with that punchline.
Meanwhile on Twitter, the Huckabee jokes are top notch.

HIV vaccine study first to show some effectiveness in preventing HIV
(24 September 2009: VIDYYA MEDICAL NEWS SERVICE) -- A Phase III clinical trial involving more than 16,000 adult volunteers in Thailand has demonstrated that an investigational HIV vaccine regimen was safe and modestly effective in preventing HIV infection. According to final results released by the trial sponsor, the U.S. Army Surgeon General, the prime boost combination of ALVAC(R) HIV and AIDSVAX(R) B/E lowered the rate of HIV infection by 31.2% compared with placebo.
"This is the first HIV vaccine candidate to successfully reduce the risk of HIV infection in humans. We are very excited and pleased with the outcome of this trial and congratulate all those who participated in it," said Lieutenant General Eric Schoomaker, Surgeon General, U.S. Army. "In addition, this study is an outstanding example of international and interagency collaboration involving many partners from the Thai and U.S. governments, private companies, non-profit organizations and volunteers."
In the final analysis, 74 placebo recipients became infected with HIV compared to 51 in the vaccine regimen arm. The efficacy result is statistically significant. The vaccine regimen had no effect on the amount of virus in the blood of volunteers who became HIV-infected during the study. More detailed results of this study will be presented next month at the AIDS Vaccine Conference, October 19 through 22 in Paris, France.
This finding has important implications for the design of future HIV vaccines and how they are tested, however additional research is needed to better understand how this vaccine regimen reduced the risk of HIV infection. Given the significant threat of HIV infection worldwide, an efficacious vaccine is urgently needed, as part of a broader prevention effort to help control the epidemic.
Collaborating partners on this study, referred to as RV144, include the U.S. Army, the Thai Ministry of Public Health, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, sanofi pasteur, and Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases (GSID). The collaborators are already working with external experts to determine the need for additional studies on this vaccine regimen and consider the impact of this study's findings on other HIV vaccine candidates.
"These results show that development of a safe and effective preventive HIV vaccine is possible, " said Colonel Nelson Michael, Director, Division of Retrovirology, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and Director, U.S. Military HIV Research Program (MHRP). "While these results are very encouraging, we recognize that further study is required to build upon these findings."
Colonel Jerome Kim, Deputy Director, Science, MHRP and the HIV vaccines product manager for the U.S. Army added that, "knowledge gained through this study will be used to accelerate future study design and testing as researchers continue the search for a safe, globally-effective HIV vaccine."
The U.S. Army would like to thank the more than 16,000 Thai men and women who consented to participate in this trial and the efforts of the Thai Ministry of Public Health and all collaborators for their hard work in achieving this important milestone.
RV144 Phase III Trial Background
RV144 tested a prime-boost vaccine strategy that combined two vaccines based on strains (subtypes) of HIV that circulate in Thailand. The first, or "prime" vaccine, known as ALVAC HIV, was developed by sanofi pasteur and the booster vaccine, AIDSVAX B/E, was originally developed by VaxGen and is now licensed to Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases.
The proof-of-concept study, which began in 2003, was designed to evaluate the vaccine strategy's ability to prevent HIV infection, as well as its ability to reduce the amount of HIV in the blood of those who became infected after they enrolled in the study.
More than 16,000 HIV-negative men and women between the ages of 18 to 30 participated in the study; half of these participants received the prime-boost vaccine regimen and half received placebo. Volunteers received vaccinations over the course of six-months and were followed for an additional three-years. Before agreeing to participate, all volunteers were informed of the potential risks associated with receiving the experimental vaccine regimen used in this study and consented to participate in the study. Volunteers continued to receive an HIV test every six-months for three-years following vaccination, in addition to counseling on how to prevent becoming infected with HIV.

EXETER — Water Street Bookstore, 125 Water St., will be hosting John D. Mayer, author of Personal Intelligence: The Power of Personality and How It Shapes Our Lives, for a discussion and signing on Thursday, March 13 at 7 p.m.
Mayer, the renowned psychologist who co-developed the groundbreaking theory of emotional intelligence, now draws on decades of research to introduce another paradigm-shifting idea: that in order to become our best selves, we use an even broader intelligence — which he calls personal intelligence — to understand our own personality and the personalities of the people around us.
In Personal Intelligence, Mayer explains that we are naturally curious about the motivations and inner worlds of the people we interact with every day. Some of us are talented at perceiving what makes our friends, family, and coworkers tick. Some of us are less so. Mayer reveals why, and shows how the most gifted "readers" among us have developed "high personal intelligence." Mayer's theory of personal intelligence brings together a diverse set of findings — previously regarded as unrelated — that show how much variety there is in our ability to read other people's faces; to accurately weigh the choices we are presented with in relationships, work, and family life; and to judge whether our personal life goals conflict or go together well. He persuasively argues that our capacity to problem-solve in these varied areas forms a unitary skill.
John D. Mayer received his B.A. from the University of Michigan and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the doctoral program in psychology at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Mayer examined the contributions of mental abilities to personality in his postdoctoral work at Case Western Reserve, and the interactions of emotion and thought within personality, as a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University.
In 1989, Mayer moved to the University of New Hampshire and began to publish a series of articles on the "systems framework for personality," a new approach to integrating the study of the discipline. While developing the systems framework and this textbook, Dr. Mayer published over ninety articles, chapters, books, and psychological tests.
His 1990 articles on emotional intelligence, with Professor Peter Salovey of Yale University, are often credited with beginning scientific research on the topic. In addition to many years of teaching university classes, Professor Mayer also has lectured to diverse audiences throughout the United States and abroad on topics related to personality psychology.
This event is free and open to the public. Please call (603) 778-9731 or visitwww.waterstreetbooks.com for more information.

The Philosophy Behind Black Diamond Ropes
For decades, we have strived to provide the gear you need for any climbing objective, and one of the most important tools is the cord that ties you and your partner together. That's why we are introducing Black Diamond ropes. Because now you can tie in with the same feeling of trust you get when you strap on a BD harness, rack a set of Camalots or air it out above a Mondo Crash Pad.
Our goal is to provide a clean and simple line of ropes that can take you from the gym all the way into the alpine. "You could get up almost any route in the world with this line of ropes," explains Black Diamond's Climbing Category Director, Kolin Powick. With a tight selection of diameters and treatments that each align with a specific climbing use, we've covered the full spectrum, offering every climber the right rope for any mission. We've also opted to name our ropes with the same convention that climbers talk about their cords—by diameter. No more navigating through a sea of arbitrary names to find the right rope. Need a svelte 9.2 for your sport project? Try the Black Diamond 9.2. Looking for a pair of 7.8 alpine cords for your Alaska trip? Check out the Black Diamond 7.8's. Yes, it's that simple.
You could get up almost any route in the world with this line of ropes.
Aiming to strike the perfect balance between weight, durability and handling, Black Diamond ropes feature a unique combination of weave and sheath that's merged to create a cord that's supple yet not too soft. This construction enhances the ropes' ability to knot and feed through your belay device easily, without sacrificing longevity.
The perfect balance between weight, durability and handling.

LOS ANGELES – August 22, 2017 – Worldwide Business with kathy ireland® is pleased to announce an exclusive interview with Richard Boyovich, Co-Founder and Vice President of Business Development of Creative Microsystems, the global leader in on-board truck scales.
Boyovich will discuss the company's revolutionary way to always accurately know the weight of a truck's load.
Creative Microsystems' flagship brand is LoadMan, an innovative and highly accurate on-board truck scale and software solution. Although on-board truck scales can be complicated technology, LoadMan has simplified it with a fully-integrated hardware, electronics, software, training and support solution. LoadMan seeks to make it simple, taking care of everything from first calls to first load pick-up or delivery. LoadMan provides the entire solution with installation, training and support to make weighing easy.
Boyovich says that a truck's load accuracy has never been more important — and Creative Microsystems' innovative solutions can help. He explains, "Load accuracy is very important for a number of reasons. One of them is data. If the load weight isn't accurate, then your data's not good. One of the difficulties is trying to weigh something that's in motion. The difficulty is trying to design systems that can actually weigh things in motion. And that's what you have with these vehicles while they're on the routes. LoadMan is helping to overcome these challenges. What we do is develop systems that allow them to accurately measure. They pay by the ton when they go to the landfill. More and more, they're being mandated by municipalities and government regulations. In order to have a good recycling program, you got to be able to measure. For that, you need highly accurate systems."
JL Haber, Vice President of Programming for Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, is proud to feature Creative Microsystems. He says, "Accurately measuring a truck's load is important for countless reasons — and no one does this quite like Creative Microsystems. Their deep knowledge and savvy technology brings highly-needed accurate data to industries across the globe, including waste and recycling, mining, construction and logging — just to name a few. We're so thrilled to have Creative Microsystems on our show."

Maroon 5 Dedicates New 'Memories' Video to Late Manager
Jordan Feldstein died unexpectedly in 2017
There are no distractions in the new Maroon 5 video for "Memories." The focus is on the message, which allows itself to be personal for anyone who listens to the song.
The clip simply features a close-up of Adam Levine against a black background while he sings about loss: "Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name, 'cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day."
At the end of the video, the words "For Jordi" appear on-screen in dedication to Maroon 5's late manager. Jordan Feldstein died unexpectedly of a pulmonary embolism in 2017 at the age of 40.
"It was a tragedy foisted upon us and far and away one of the saddest moments of our lives, and personally of mine," Levine told Variety last year. "This is a kid I've known since we were in diapers. He was one of the most important people in my life from a very early age."
"Memories" is the first we've heard from Maroon 5 since their Super Bowl performance and the band's first song since 2017's Red Pill Blues.

The tragedy of a young person dying because of overwhelming hopelessness or frustration is devastating to family, friends, and community. Parents, siblings, classmates, coaches, and neighbors might be left wondering if they could have done something to prevent that young person from turning to suicide.
Learning more about what might lead a teen to suicide may help prevent further tragedies. Even though it's not always preventable, it's always a good idea to be informed and take action to help a troubled teenager.
The reasons behind a teen's suicide or attempted suicide can be complex. Although suicide is relatively rare among children, the rate of suicides and suicide attempts increases greatly during adolescence.
Suicide is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), after accidents and homicide. It's also thought that at least 25 attempts are made for every completed teen suicide.
The risk of suicide increases dramatically when kids and teens have access to firearms at home, and nearly 60% of all suicides in the United States are committed with a gun. That's why any gun in your home should be unloaded, locked, and kept out of the reach of children and teens.
Overdose using over-the-counter, prescription, and non-prescription medicine is also a very common method for both attempting and completing suicide. It's important to monitor carefully all medications in your home. Also be aware that teens will "trade" different prescription medications at school and carry them (or store them) in their locker or backpack.
Suicide rates differ between boys and girls. Girls think about and attempt suicide about twice as often as boys, and tend to attempt suicide by overdosing on drugs or cutting themselves. Yet boys die by suicide about four times as often girls, perhaps because they tend to use more lethal methods, such as firearms, hanging, or jumping from heights.
It can be hard to remember how it felt to be a teen, caught in that gray area between childhood and adulthood. Sure, it's a time of tremendous possibility, but it also can be a period of stress and worry. There's pressure to fit in socially, to perform academically, and to act responsibly.
Adolescence is also a time of sexual identity and relationships and a need for independence that often conflicts with the rules and expectations set by others.
Young people with mental health problems — such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or insomnia — are at higher risk for suicidal thoughts. Teens going through major life changes (parents' divorce, moving, a parent leaving home due to military service or parental separation, financial changes) and those who are victims of bullying are at greater risk of suicidal thoughts.
Factors that increase the risk of suicide among teens include:
Suicide among teens often happens after a stressful life event, such as problems at school, a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, the death of a loved one, a divorce, or a major family conflict.
Teens who are thinking about suicide might:
Many teens who commit or attempt suicide have given some type of warning to loved ones ahead of time. So it's important for parents to know the warning signs so teens who might be suicidal can get the help they need.
Some adults feel that kids who say they are going to hurt or kill themselves are "just doing it for attention." It's important to realize that if teens are ignored when seeking attention, it may increase the chance of them harming themselves (or worse).
Getting attention in the form of ER visits, doctor's appointments, and residential treatment generally is not something teens want — unless they're seriously depressed and thinking about suicide or at least wishing they were dead. It's important to see warning signs as serious, not as "attention-seeking" to be ignored.
Keep a close eye on a teen who is depressed and withdrawn. Understanding depression in teens is very important since it can look different from commonly held beliefs about depression. For example, it may take the form of problems with friends, grades, sleep, or being cranky and irritable rather than chronic sadness or crying.
It's important to try to keep the lines of communication open and express your concern, support, and love. If your teen confides in you, show that you take those concerns seriously. A fight with a friend might not seem like a big deal to you in the larger scheme of things, but for a teen it can feel immense and consuming. It's important not to minimize or discount what your teen is going through, as this can increase his or her sense of hopelessness.
If your teen doesn't feel comfortable talking with you, suggest a more neutral person, such as another relative, a clergy member, a coach, a school counselor, or your child's doctor.
Some parents are reluctant to ask teens if they have been thinking about suicide or hurting themselves. Some fear that by asking, they will plant the idea of suicide in their teen's head.
It's always a good idea to ask, even though doing so can be difficult. Sometimes it helps to explain why you're asking. For instance, you might say: "I've noticed that you've been talking a lot about wanting to be dead. Have you been having thoughts about trying to kill yourself?"
If you learn that your child is thinking about suicide, get help immediately. Your doctor can refer you to a psychologist or psychiatrist, or your local hospital's department of psychiatry can provide a list of doctors in your area. Your local mental health association or county medical society can also provide references. In an emergency, you can call (800) SUICIDE.
If your teen is in a crisis situation, your local emergency room can conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and refer you to the appropriate resources. If you're unsure about whether you should bring your child to the emergency room, contact your doctor or call (800) SUICIDE for help.
If you've scheduled an appointment with a mental health professional, make sure to keep the appointment, even if your teen says he or she is feeling better or doesn't want to go. Suicidal thoughts do tend to come and go; however, it is important that your teen get help developing the skills needed to decrease the likelihood that suicidal thoughts and behaviors will emerge again if a crisis arises.
If your teen refuses to go to the appointment, discuss this with the mental health professional — and consider attending the session and working with the clinician to make sure your teen has access to the help needed. The clinician also might be able to help you devise strategies so that your teen will want to get help.
Remember that ongoing conflicts between a parent and child can fuel the fire for a teen who is feeling isolated, misunderstood, devalued, or suicidal. Get help to air family problems and resolve them in a constructive way. Also let the mental health professional know if there is a history of depression, substance abuse, family violence, or other stresses at home, such as an ongoing environment of criticism.
What should you do if someone your teen knows, perhaps a family member, friend, or a classmate, has attempted or committed suicide? First, acknowledge your child's many emotions. Some teens say they feel guilty — especially those who felt they could have interpreted their friend's actions and words better.
Others say they feel angry with the person who committed or attempted suicide for having done something so selfish. Still others say they feel no strong emotions or don't know how to express how they feel. Reassure your child that there is no right or wrong way to feel, and that it's OK to talk about it when he or she feels ready.
When someone attempts suicide and survives, people might be afraid of or uncomfortable talking with him or her about it. Tell your teen to resist this urge; this is a time when a person absolutely needs to feel connected to others.
Many schools address a student's suicide by calling in special counselors to talk with the students and help them cope. If your teen is dealing with a friend or classmate's suicide, encourage him or her to make use of these resources or to talk to you or another trusted adult.
For parents, the death of a child is the most painful loss imaginable. For parents who've lost a child to suicide, the pain and grief can be intensified. Although these feelings may never completely go away, survivors of suicide can take steps to begin the healing process:

According to a report available on Radiant Insights, Inc.; the worldwide scrap metal recycling market is expected to exhibit a CAGR above 3% over the forecast period (2017 to 2021). Strict environmental regulations to curb carbon emissions can propel the market. Near depletion of rare earth metals is expected to positively impact market growth in the forthcoming years. Consumer awareness regarding recycled products and surge in obsolete metals can further support market growth.
Access Full Report With TOC @ http://www.radiantinsights.com/research/global-scrap-metal-recycling-market-research-report-2017
Scrap metal recycling is a method of reusing the metals obtained from automobiles and other objects that contain iron & steel. This method mostly utilizes ferrous and non-ferrous metals as its source. Steel is the most recyclable material. The United States accounts for over 70 million metric tons (MMT) ferrous scrap and nearly 8 MMT non-ferrous scrap. It faces tough competition from China, which exports around 55% of recycled aluminum back to the US at economical rates.
Major market participants adopt mergers & acquisitions to sustain the stern competition & fluctuating steel prices. For instance, Sims Metal Management sold six of its recycling facilities to OmniSource Corporation in 2015. Companies are banking on online retail channels to gain higher returns. They invest in ventures other than metal recycling such as auto salvage and electronic recycling. The US Department of Energy (DOE) is anticipated to pass a programmatic environmental impact statement to dispose of radioactive metals. This can be beneficial to players in the long run.
The worldwide market for scrap metal recycling is segmented by types, end-users, and regions. Types are bifurcated into ferrous & non-ferrous scrap metal recycling. Ferrous metals are rich in iron and steel, while non-ferrous metals comprise lead, zinc, brass, stainless steel, and aluminum & aluminum alloys. Ferrous metals can continue dominating the overall market on account of demand over the forecast period. Applications in vehicle manufacturing, construction materials, and electrical devices can boost the growth. Aluminum held a huge market share on account of demand in 2014.

Key end-users are divided into electrical & electronics, building & construction, shipbuilding, industrial machinery, automotive, and others. In 2014, building & construction generated substantial revenue owing to disposal of waste in landfills. Growing infrastructural projects around the world can further impel demand in the years to come. Automotive can exhibit a high growth potential during the next four years.
Geographically, the market is segmented into Asia Pacific (APAC), Europe and Middle East & Africa (EMEA), and Americas. APAC led the global market on the basis of revenue in 2014. China is anticipated to generate the maximum revenue over the forecast period. India is also expected to showcase lucrative growth in the near future. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea can further propel regional demand in the forthcoming years. Europe can witness steady expansion during the forecast period due to strict environmental regulations and high adoption of recycled metals from Italy and Germany.
Major players operating in the worldwide scrap metal recycling market are OmniSource Corporation, ArcelorMittal, Sims Metal Management, Aurubis AG, and Commercial Metals Company. New entrants can find it difficult to gain strong foothold within this highly competitive market. Most companies opt for mergers & acquisitions to sustain the stern competition. For instance, Commercial Metals Company has decided to acquire OmniSource through its subsidiary, Owen Steel Company, in 2017. Newly acquired recycling facilities can allow the former an access to a constant source of raw materials.

- Description
DetailsWhy We Fight is the provocative new documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Eugene Jarecki (The Trials of Henry Kissinger) and winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Named after the series of short films by legendary director Frank Capra that explored America's reasons for entering World War II, Why We Fight surveys a half-century of military conflicts, asking how and answering why a nation of, by and for the people has become the savings-and-loan of a government system whose survival depends on an Orwellian state of constant war. The Why We Fight DVD features interviews and observations by a 'who's who' of military and Washington insiders including Senator John Mc- Cain, Gore Vidal, and Dan Rather. Beginning with President Dwight D. Eisenhower's prescient 1961 speech warning of the rise of the 'military industrial complex', Why We Fight moves far beyond the headlines of various American military operations to the deeper questions of why America seemingly is always at war. What are the forces political, economic, and ideological that drive us to clash against an ever- changing enemy? Just why does America fight? Unforgettable, powerful and at times disturbing, Why We Fight on DVD will challenge viewers long after the last fade-out.
