Keyless ignition systems that use start buttons to let drivers to leave key fobs in their pockets provide a lot of convenience, but a new report sheds light on a failed government effort to prevent users from accidentally leaving their cars on.
The New York Times reported Sunday that at least 20 deaths have been linked to carbon monoxide poisoning caused by cars left idling in garages when their drivers thought their engines were off.
MORE: NHTSA tells owners of 2006 Ford Ranger, Mazda B-Series pickups to park their trucks until airbags are replaced
The issue first came to the attention of the Society of Automotive Engineers. By 2011, the engineering group issued a report calling on automakers to install an "externally audible or visual alert" when all doors are closed, the key fob is not present and the engine is still running.
Later that year, the NHTSA proposed a key fob rule that went a step further and would have required an internal alert. The rule was meant to protect against accidental vehicle rollaways and to prevent incidents of carbon monoxide poising, but it made no provision for an auto-shutoff function.
Automakers largely rejected the proposal, even though the NHTSA said that the cost to the industry would be less than $500,000 per year to provide coding and software updating for millions of vehicles.

Senior Helpers® is helping senior veterans all over the U.S. understand how they can qualify and apply for the VA's Aid & Attendance Benefit, which pays seniors for the in-home senior care they need to live comfortably and safely. Veterans, spouses of veterans, and surviving spouses of veterans who are homebound or require the aid and attendance of another person can qualify for this payment if they meet certain criteria. Call Senior Helpers at 877-844-9822 to learn more.
Right now millions of veterans qualify for this benefit, but they do not know it. Veterans who served a minimum of 90 days of active duty, including one day of active duty during a period of war such as World War II, the Korean War, or the Vietnam War, all may qualify for this benefit.
Veterans are being given one more honor for their acts of service in defending freedom in the United States and around the world. Veterans, their spouses, and surviving spouses of veterans may be eligible for the Veterans Administration's Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit, which is a non-service connected pension benefit that awards Veterans for in-home care they now need to fully enjoy their retirement.
In-home senior care services for Veterans that are awarded include Activities of Daily Livings, or ADLs, which include activities such as bathing, dressing, cooking, taking medications correctly, and other services. In-home senior care helps Veterans, their spouses or surviving spouses of Veterans get around and enjoy their senior years safely and healthfully while remaining at home.
Additionally, in-home senior care services that help Veterans, their spouses, or surviving spouses of Veterans who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia are also included. For these individuals, the right care and comfort within their own homes may be awarded by the VA's Aid and Attendance Pension benefit.
Senior Helpers is nationally known for world class in-home senior care for everything from light housekeeping and errands to full Alzheimer's and dementia care. Senior Helpers will guide you through the process of understanding if you may qualify for the benefit and then will put you in touch with an accredited veteran agent who can assist you with applying for the benefit with a fully developed claim. A fully developed claim is processed more quickly and is more likely to be approved. Some claims are approved in as little as 30 to 60 days.*
Call Senior Helpers today and their local care professionals will offer you education and information about the application process. You have served your country and earned this benefit. The time has come for us to take care of you.
*Average application processing time is 5-9 months. Processing and approval time required in any given instance may be more or less than this.
Disclaimer: The purpose of this is to educate you about Veterans Administration ("VA") home health care benefits that you may qualify for. Our office can educate you about the benefits available and put you in contact with an accredited agent to assist in completing and submitting the benefits application to the VA. Please contact Senior Helpers to help you make an initial determination regarding your potential qualification for the Aid and Attendance Benefit through the VA. Our desire is to help you receive the VA benefits that you deserve and have earned for your service to our country. We are NOT the VA, nor are we in any way affiliated with the VA.

text: Ah yes. I have read the eMyth by Micheal Gerber. Great stuff in business books. But I am still amazed at that revenue per truck. I thought I was pushing it in the weed and feed area and I am getting about $130k/yr per truck. What should a truck be doing per year? But we don't work Saturdays (unless absolutely necessary because I get too far behind or Sundays of course). I was just reading some stuff on a Lawn Doctor franchise. They work their guys 4 days per week (10-11 hrs/day) but the trucks work 6 days per week with rotating work schedules. I don't like to work Saturdays though. Wen we do we are often turned away because people want to use their yards or we get a phone call that they are teed off because we serviced their lawn while they were out and now they don't feel they can use it. Maybe I am losing revenue per truck by not working Saturdays. How do you guys feel about having your weed and feed trucks out on Saturday?

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — We realize that Pat Riley doesn't particularly appreciate all the heat being thrown at LeBron James for coming to Miami, but the negative vibes the James relocation project generated this summer are real.
And it's not just the fans of other teams (and their coaches and executives, mainly in Orlando) whose opinions about James have changed.
His Q Score ratings took a monstrous tumble this summer, as CNBC Sports Business Reporter Darren Rovell explains:
In January 2010, The Q Scores Company took a poll of the general population and found that 24 percent of people thought of James in a positive light, compared to a 22 percent negative opinion.
Henry Schafer, executive vice president of the company, told CNBC that the average sports personality has a 15 percent positive score and a 24 percent negative score.
"LeBron's positive score at that time was the highest we had ever seen it," Schafer said.
But since "The Decision" show on July 8, things have gone seriously downhill for the NBA star.
LeBron's Q Score today?
Schafer says that now only 14 percent of the general population see him as a positive figure, a 41.6 percent drop, while 39 percent view him in a negative light, a 77 percent decline.
In fact, LeBron is now the sixth most disliked sports personality, according to The Q Score Company, behind Michael Vick, Tiger Woods, Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco and Kobe Bryant.
But wait, there's more:
Perhaps equally as interesting is the fact that James has apparently dragged down the general population's opinion of his new teammates.
Dwyane Wade's positive Q score went from 21 in January to 15 today.
His negative Q score rose from 18 in January to 25 today. Chris Bosh – whose move to Miami was part of what sealed the deal for LeBron – saw even a worse drop. His positive Q score only fell from a 13 in January to a 12 today, but his negative Q Score rose from 21 percent in January to 35 percent today.
Schafer says that LeBron's "Decision" was one of the most detrimental acts – not related to any anti-social behavior — by a sports personality since the Q Scores were first developed more than 45 years ago.
Lucky for James, the only numbers folks are going to care about in a few days are how many points, rebounds and assists he can pile up playing alongside Wade and Bosh.
The only categories that will matter are wins and losses.
And the only score that will be important at the end of his journey is how many titles he and his new teammates can win together in Miami.

Time to Kill Gypsy Moth Eggs
Submitted: 04/21/2013
- Wisconsin forestry officials say now is the time to destroy gypsy moth eggs. The pests will start hatching over the next few weeks. The DNR is urging homeowners to search trees, houses, firewood piles, play-set, and any other outdoor surface. Look for the gypsy moths' tell-tale tan, quarter-sized egg masses. Property owners should spray the eggs with horticultural oil designed to kill them such as Golden Pest Spray Oil. You can also scrape the masses free and drown them in soapy water.

The Youth Advisory Council has a logo, a mission statement to guide it and a Facebook page and Twitter account to publicize events.
The Youth Advisory Council has a logo, a mission statement to guide it and a Facebook page and Twitter account to publicize events.
Now, the real work will begin — developing a central listing of resources for youth, including programs and facilities available, then looking for "holes" that need to be filled.
However, on Wednesday at the group's second meeting, Gadsden Public Library Director Amanda Jackson said when that listing of existing programs is complete, there might not be as many "holes" as some might think.
Jackson said improved communication should help — that getting a complete list of existing programs and facilities was the "best second step," and the committee could then look at filling gaps.
The group approved a mission statement: "Working together, communicating, mobilizing and empowering the community to develop a path to a successful future for youth in Etowah County."
The logo is the county's shape with a green background and "Etowah Youth" in red letters.
The group's Facebook page is Facebook.com/etowah
youth and the Twitter account is @Etowah Youth or www.twitter.com/etowahyouth.
Joanne Hightower, executive director of the United Way of Etowah County, who acted as the meeting's facilitator, said a website also is needed and the city of Gadsden will be asked to maintain it.
Jackson said the resource committee will compile programs and services available for youth, with subcommittees identifying programs available in mentoring, arts, sports, after-school care, summer programs, job readiness/technology, faith-based and special events.
She asked that committee members sign up for subcommittees to survey the community, such as churches and different organizations, art and dance teachers and sports organizations, to see what activities are being offered. They then will be asked to submit information, including details about the cost and who the program is for, so it can be included on a website and in other publicity.
Some committee members questioned what was being done for youth this summer with the closing of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Alabama's Gadsden units, and asked that a list be developed of existing activities for the rest of the summer. John Reed said churches could help provide transportation to existing programs, such as free swimming lessons offered at the city's Sixth Street Pool.
Surveying students for their input was discussed. A committee was named to develop a survey, and representatives of the school system will be invited to the next meeting to see how it can be involved.
Young people attending the meeting said they wanted programs to "have fun," and cited activities they liked, including dance, music and playing arcade games.
"We need some all-day activities," one youth said.

Blog entry Spotlight: Humboldt-School Students and Teachers
The Latin and English teachers and students at the Humboldt-School in Berlin got together to fight hunger and brush up on their Latin - all in one click. Together they created over 2,000 Latin questions to launch the new Latin subject on Freerice.
Play the new Latin subject, or "Ludere novum Latine subiectum"
The project was led by Latin and Political Science teacher, Jens Augner. When we asked what motivated him, he replied: "I am a passionate Freericer. I thought that we could raise a lot more rice by using Freerice for learning Latin vocabulary."
And of course he's right, we hope you share the subject.
Jens was helped by students, Antonia Schmitt (far left, in the photo) and Leandra Forchert (not pictured), an supported by fellow teachers, Kerstin Wandel (second from right) and Dagmar Neblung (far right).
But Jens has done much more than create a Latin subject. His World Study groups helped to build a school in Katete, Zambia. Jens and his students managed to visit the school, and saw WFP distributing aid at the community centre. And since then, WFP has been lucky enough to have the support of Jens.
Thank you Jens and your team for being such an inspiration! Gratias ago vos!
Freerice is maintained by and supports the United Nations World Food Programme, the world's largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger worldwide. To find out more go to WFP.org
@Skyedude, thank you for your comment about bots. We appreciate it, and you're absolutely right, they damage our site by overloading our servers and discouraging sponsors.
All rice raised on Freerice since September goes to Niger!
that is so awesome do you agree
keep going
I recently created a group called the rice core. If people could join that would be great. The one thing is that in this group YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE BOTS. They slow down the system and disenfranchise hard workers.
Also, why is freerice still donating to cambodia? Shouldn't you change locations soon? India? Middle east? Africa?

is the Latin subject hard to do
How do you learn Latin?
How do you try the subject
I think that Freerice should have a clock to calculate the amount of rice donated per hour per day.
Great, I've been hoping you'd have Latin as a subject for some time. However, some of these questions need debugging - cum certainly can mean with, but this is marked incorrect!
In fact in general, maybe Freerice should have a button to press when someone thinks a question is buggy? Someone at Freerice could look at it when some suitably large number of people have flagged the same question, maybe.
Nice job!!!!! I wanted to enhance the spanish portion but nobody will respond to my emails. If anyone could tell me how to get a hold of them that would be great.
Here's an interesting idea. Freerice should have a live clock (updated continuously, unlike the totals page). This live clock could be used to watch, in real time, the amount of rice donated.
Sounds cool! My concern would be, just how useful is Latin in the modern era? The only country in the world who's official language is Latin is the vatican. Still, I like that Freerice is continuing to add subjects.
Also, you may have seen this on earlier comments, but anyone is welcome to join my group. It is called the Rice Core.
Hello, I am so pleased you all decided to jump-start the Latin subject as I have waited a very long time for this subject on Free Rice. I am a Latin teacher in the United States and am very excited to get my students active in this subject on a large scale. I would like to pass along a suggestion as you edit and add to the subject. You may wish to utilize Whitaker's Words, a program on the Internet, for definitions. This well used and well edited site gives the meaning of almost all common Latin words in a very useful and organized way. Congratulations again and thank you so much for your hard work.

MicrochippingEach year, millions of pets go missing, and many never make it back to their homes. Implanting a microchip in your pet is a simple, painless way to avoid this tragedy.
A microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath a pet's skin between the shoulder blades, and stays there for the pet's entire life. This procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination.
Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national pet registry. Many veterinary hospitals and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found and a microchip is scanned, the registry is called and the owner can be contacted. Triboro Animal Hospital uses the Home Again microchip system.
We advise you to use this system of identification as well as a collar identification system on your pet.

SAN DIEGO — He's been on the job nearly a full calendar year, leading a young basketball team to a conference tournament championship while filling a dormant program with energy and hope.
Yet Steve Alford's career as UCLA basketball coach doesn't officially begin until right now.
Friday night, Viejas Arena, NCAA tournament, opening game, Tulsa waiting.
Despair waiting, relief waiting, ghosts waiting.
"This is when the UCLA coaching hot seat gets really hot," said Tracy Murray, former Bruins star and current team radio analyst. "This is the game that sets his pants on fire."
Win this game with your higher-seeded team, take another tiny step on road lined with 11 championships, and everyone yawns. Lose this game, and nobody forgets.
Jim Harrick is remembered equally for two basketball games: his national championship win over Arkansas and his first-round loss to Princeton.
Steve Lavin is remembered not so much for his four Sweet 16 and one Elite Eight appearances, but for his first-round loss to Detroit Mercy.
The writing of the Alford resume at UCLA begins now, and that black padded sideline seat will have extra broil considering the messy way he's scripted the postseason in his previous 22 seasons as a college head coach.
Alford's former teams have gone to NCAA or National Invitation Tournament postseason tournaments 18 times. Half of those times, those teams have been bounced in the first round. Only once has he led a team to the Sweet 16, and that was 15 years ago.
Even amid the madness of March, here's guessing UCLA fans would not consider this an acceptable fail rate, especially considering that several good UCLA coaches have danced much better and still been given the hook.
Ben Howland made seven tournaments with the Bruins, and was knocked out in the first round twice. Lavin made six tournaments here and was knocked out in the first round only once. Harrick made eight tournaments and was knocked out three times.
Alford's postseason one-and-done history seems even worse because just last season, his third-seeded New Mexico team was upset in the first round by 14th-seeded Harvard.
"I think Harvard is better than what everybody thought because they advanced again this year," said Alford on Thursday after the Crimson pulled a second consecutive first-round upset against Cincinnati.
Yeah, well, Westwood folks probably don't want to hear that because Harvard is still Harvard, and Tulsa is still Tulsa and, in their minds, the great UCLA will forever be the great UCLA.
"It's not fair, but that's the way it is at UCLA," said Murray.
Alford doesn't need to win this tournament to make people believe he has this Bruins program moving in the right direction. But he absolutely cannot lose the opener if he hopes to sustain that belief beyond, say, April. It is especially vital that his fourth-seeded Bruins figure out a way to beat 13th-seeded Tulsa, considering the Golden Hurricane dumped the Bruins and Harrick in one of those first-round debacles 20 years ago.
Folks forgive that loss because it inspired the Bruins to win a national championship the following year. But no, folks still don't forget.
"I still remember it, oh yeah," said Tyus Edney, the Bruins director of basketball operations who played on that team. "But I'm not going to bring it up with our players. You know, we're trying to focus on the positive around here."
Murray also has his first-round loss story, against Penn State in 1991, when a UCLA team with five future NBA players lost to a team with zero future NBA players.
"I remember like it was yesterday…. I mean, they didn't even have any pros on that team," said Murray. "I remember walking into the locker room while North Carolina was walking out to play the next game. I looked at George Lynch and Rick Fox and said, 'Don't let this happen to you guys.'"
Alford doesn't need former Bruins coaches to warn him. He works in a building guarded by a statue of John Wooden.
"Coach Wooden raised that bar to a certain level, and that's where the bar sits, and you can't look at it like a burden, you have to embrace it," said Alford in a quiet moment during Thursday's pregame media events here. "Of course, you also have to be a realist."
Alford talked about the difficulty of playing a team you have never seen in person, during a second consecutive week of travel, in an era of unmatched parity. But, as if he knew nobody back home would be listening, he sighed.
"You understand why there's 11 banners hanging back at Pauley, and you realize how humbling this experience can be," he said. "I'm just trying to enjoy the journey."
It's a journey that has lasted nearly a year. It's a journey that only begins now.

Dr. James Herrick of the Hope College communication faculty is co-editor of a book that emphasizes the role of language in discussing biotechnological advances and how terminology itself shapes how such developments are perceived.
"Language is almost an invisible concern—people take it for granted," said Herrick, a specialist in rhetoric, which is a discipline that focuses on how speakers and writers inform and influence others. "But language has a major impact on how we think and act."
It even happens, Herrick noted, that the advances of science become described in terms that have origins in religion, an important implication when considering capabilities such as genetic manipulation.
"There is going to be a contest over the language we use to talk about biotechnological advancement and human enhancement," he said. "It's very common to talk about these biotechnological advances as miracles, for example."
"After the Genome: A Language for Our Biotechnological Future," which Herrick co-edited with Dr. Michael Hyde of Wake Forest University, was published in April in the "Studies in Rhetoric and Religion" series of Baylor University Press. It is a collection of a dozen essays by scholars from a variety of disciplines, including ethics, rhetoric, religion and science.
The rapidity with which biotechnological advances are appearing and their potential impact make the topic especially timely, Herrick said. As he and Hyde state in their introduction, "We are beyond the point at which medical science can present itself as a rhetorically neutral method of inquiry, or biotechnology as simply providing a set of therapeutic tools. What foundational ethical principles will guide our uses of miraculous new technologies? How will these technologies affect the theory and practice of medicine? What discourse will we employ to describe ourselves and our technologies? Such questions suggest that an exploration of the language of our biotechnological future is both timely and critically important."
Two-and-a-half years in the making, the book was released in conjunction with a national conference on the same theme that was co-chaired by Herrick and Hyde and held at Wake Forest on Friday-Saturday, April 12-13. Herrick valued the opportunity that the conference provided for a broad mix of experts to discuss such questions together.
"You had people meeting other professionals they normally wouldn't run into," Herrick said. "That was one of the more interesting aspects of the conference—to get these people from different disciplines together."
The conference involved presentations by a number of luminaries in the medical and bioethics fields, including Dr. Tony Atala of the Wake Forest University Medical School's Center for Regenerative Medicine; Judge Kenneth Starr, president of Baylor University; President Nathan Hatch of Wake Forest University; Dr. Ezra E.H. Griffith of Yale University Medical School; Dr. Howard Brody, director of Medical Humanities Program at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston; and a number of other nationally and internationally prominent scholars. Herrick made the opening remarks at the conference, and introduced Atala and Starr.
Herrick is the Guy Vander Jagt Professor of Communication at Hope, where he has taught since 1984. His other books include "The History and Theory of Rhetoric," fifth edition (Prentice Hall, 2012), "Scientific Mythologies: How Science and Science Fiction Forge New Religious Beliefs" (InterVarsity Press, 2008), "The Making of the New Spirituality: The Eclipse of the Western Religious Tradition" (IVP Books, 2004) and "The Radical Rhetoric of the English Deists" (University of South Carolina Press, 1997).

Consider this mascara the no-fuss alternative to falsies. It deals lashes a one-two punch, adding both length and volume to keep them looking anything but lackluster. We love how the long-wearing formula doesnt run or smudge, even after a whole day of wear, and gives our lashes a natural-looking curl without weighing them down. The jet-black color makes eyes pop, and its especially great when youre trying to achieve a dramatic night out look. Youll have to convince your friends that youre not sporting faux lashes.
Honestly this is the best mascara I've ever tried! It lasts all day! My once short and flat eye lashes are now long, curled & full! Plus it doesn't flake off throughout the day. I've had people ask me if I'm wearing falsies and I can happily say I'm not. You won't regret trying this!5

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - On Tuesday, March 16, the NCAA Men's and Women's Fencing Committee announced a field of 144 competitors who will participate in the NCAA Fencing National Championships. Among these 144 competitors, the Yale men's fencing team will have three representatives: junior foilist Nathaniel Botwinick, senior foilist John Gurrieri, and freshman saberist Colin Mills.
Competitors for the National Championship are determined based on fencers' performances during the Regional Championships and throughout the regular season. If a fencer places high enough in his or her respective tournament in the Regional Championships, then he or she earns an automatic bid for the National Championship. If a fencer does not receive an automatic bid, then he or she is still eligible to receive an at-large bid from the NCAA Fencing Committee, provided that the fencer placed in the top 12 in his or her tournament.
Three Bulldogs qualified automatically based on their performance at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championship: Botwinick, sophomore Jonathan Holbrook and Gurrieri. In the foil tournament, they took first, fourth and sixth place respectively. Unfortunately, each school is only allowed to send two fencers per weapon, leaving coach Henry Harutunian the difficult choice to choose two among them.
Mills, who finished tenth in the saber tournament recieved an at-large bid from the NCAA Fencing Committee.
The NCAA National Championship will be hosted by Harvard University, on March 27 and 28.

Skip to comments.Vanity: Help me Battle the Statism in Academia
Posted on 01/08/2013 7:00:10 PM PST by Crapgame
Freepers here is an opportunity to influence young minds in college. I am an adjunct professor of humanities. Later this month I will begin teaching two courses on the American Experience and Constitutional Change. Every semester I give a term paper assignment based on Wickard v. Filburn and the governmental abuse of the Commerce Clause. I am always gratified by the comments of the students afterwards who tell me they never had any idea of the vast power employed by the government in our daily lives. Well I will still use that case this semester because it is so insructive however, I am also going to seize on current events and incorporate a paper on the Second Amendment....
Don't be deceived by the "sports" in the title of the program.
Recommend ... http://oathkeepers.org/oath/
Just found this from someone on Yahoo....
"It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government." - Thomas Paine (1737-1809), American Revolutionary, US Founding Father and Author
"And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms....The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants" (Thomas Jefferson in a letter to William S. Smith in 1787. Taken from Jefferson, On Democracy 20, S. Padover ed., 1939)
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined" (Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836)
"The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." — (Thomas Jefferson)
Be sure to find more quotes from the Federalist Papers..
My kid has attended their "Liberty and Learning" summer conference twice. It is a lot of range time and some classwork including lectures from some very prominent folks. If we can scrape a flight together, he'll probably go agian this summer.
I would ask them to compare and contrast the two prominent belief systems, left and right. For the left I would ask them to evaluate the pros and cons of the beliefs of Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, Castro, Chavez and (some number more at their choosing). Then compare to the founding fathers like Washington, and other signers of the Declaration of Independence and also Ronald Reagan, Tea Party beliefs. Which has brought mass murder and which brought general prosperoty?
prosperoty should be prosperity. Typing in the dark! Another thing might be to look at the communist goals and identify where it is being implemented in clear sight today. Back in the 1960's (I think) there was a list of communist goals for overthrowing the USA that was read into the congressional record. Maybe someone can post a link.
I think LS would be of great help to you.
There is not a better defense anywhere. And from an academic perspective, the majority opinion is both direct and lucid, and hits with great economy on some very subtle points of the law.
Have students read and write a paper on the book, THE LAW by Frederic Bastiat. Written in 1850, the book is VERY short, like 75 pages and should be required reading by every high schooler. Also, on the second amendment, Talk about the battle of Athens (Tennessee) in 1946 when the citizens had to take up arms to overthrow an utterly corrupt government.
Thank you all so much. I knew I could count on Freepers....Lots of good suggestions and material here. Keep it coming...
If the 2nd Amendment was only referring to a militia that was under government control, then the Amendment makes absolutely no sense - it is completely superfluous.
Why (I guess it's obvious now) - of course any militia under government control would have arms ! I think the kids say "duh" in this case. A government-controlled militia, by definition, would have to bear arms. It would would not require an Amendment to the Constitution to make clear that a government-controlled militia should actually arm itself.
In the case of the citizenry having the right to bear arms, that presents a possible question - does everyone keep themselves armed all the time, or do they wait until they are called up, and only then can they bear arms ? It makes sense, in answering that question, to have the 2nd Amendment. It makes it clear in referring to the right of the "people" to keep and bear arms - as opposed to being a right of the "militia" mentioned first.
It's amazing to me how so many supposedly intelligent people can twist and contort such a simple sentence to suit their own purposes.
Make sure you mention "Arming America" by academic fraud Bellisiles.
He used made-up research to try to advance his thesis that firearms really weren't that important in 18th century America. And he was shown up for the bigoted, lazy, ivory tower egghead he is, trying to pass off his own lefty opinions as historical fact.
As far as that goes, the best advice you could give your pupils would be to skip higher education/indoctrination for the gun range. A bullet doesn't lie.
Might be worth looking at the racist roots of gun control . All courtesy of the Democratic party.

This is an amazing display of unsupportable paranoia. Not that the drugs and chemical diet are innocent, but ignorance and poor nutrition have a lot more to do with shitty behavior.
I really loathe pseudo-intelligent creepshows like this. They do so much more harm than good.

This is a well thought out commentary with true information, valid reasoning, and rare insights.
- March 30, 2011 at 9:48 PM
powerful stuff - thanks for the thought exercise and reminder that chaos constant.
it is a stretch to cast this behavior as fundamental to human nature. while fascinating, these episodes do not answer the question posed - what would happen under food disruptions or currency collapse? neither food nor currency motivated either la riots or black fri. fully agree we should think carefully about each circumstance, but these are quite different contexts.
the bad actors are not everyday people in my view - they lack meaningful values and disregard social contract. society is right to reject such useless destruction.
trampling people for discounted electronics, burning down your own neighborhood - this is sick but these people are not especially dangerous. their objectives lack sufficient coherence to be meaningful, and fail even to achieve these.
personally i am more scared by those with more grandiose ambitions and strong ability to pursue. not the people focused on stealing a tv and some kinny shoes.
the what if happening right now. the currency is being recklessly trashed, we have a fresh 'humanitarian imperative' in Libya without asking or telling anyone. a bunch of self dealing out in plain sight - the parasitic class would love it if we point guns at each other and distract from the real problems [eg wtf is up with incarceration rate]. we need to strengthen our society because it is not a zero sum game - the opposite.
also: amphetamines were invented in the lab a century prior to being in 'the street'. much of the early 20th century they were otc and used heavily in ww1 and ww2 [and all the others since...]. fine to criticize drugs but get it right - no shortage of factual material to draw from.

It may be true that all the JUNK in our food and all the poisons pawned off as "necessary" medicines affect our reasoning. I am particularly skeptical about the medication of children (boys) for ADHD (being boys).
But more fundamental I think the cause ultimately comes down to a breakdown in society which is being caused by two things: an entitlement culture and the abandonment of a JudeoChristian moral code.
The entitlement culture which teaches everyone they deserve better, IS VERY DANGEROUS, because if you deserve food, water, shelter, better wages, good health care, etc. then you are justified in being ANGRY when you don't get these things, and perhaps even getting violent when you don't get what you deserve. The entitlement culture makes ALL OTHER PEOPLE unjust aggressors, not co-equal pursuers of limited resources.
Add to this the break down of traditional Judeo-Christian mores, or more specifically the belief in the God who guarantees the rightness of those rules and everything becomes by definition relative. If God does not exist the only thing truly wrong is trying to limit another person with reason when you do not have the physical might to enforce your opinions.

NM Tech Grad was Co-Discoverer of Snowy River Cave
by Tiffany Chisum
Right: Andrew Grieco in his native setting.
SOCORRO, N.M., Aug. 17, 2007 – Andrew Grieco, one of the discoverers of the underground Snowy River calcite formation near Fort Stanton, N.M., recently graduated with two bachelor's of science degrees from New Mexico Tech.
At the age of 17, Grieco along with hydrologist John McLean and cavers Lloyd Schwartz and Don Becker discovered the Snowy River calcite formation while on a caving expedition at Fort Stanton Cave.
The Snowy River passage was dug into by "old fashioned" digging, Grieco says. The original dig started in the 1970s and was then halted for some time due to poor digging conditions. The dig was originally started when cavers noticed a tremendous amount of air flow in a part of the cave which indicated the presence of a significant amount of unknown space.
Grieco recalls, "My favorite memory of the trip was the very last bit of clay we had to dig out. There was a small hole just a few inches tall and a foot wide at the very bottom of a small passage. We dug it out just enough to fit through. It was so tight that when someone went through, their feet stuck out, just like when the house fell on the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz. It was amazing to eventually see the huge passage that that little hole led to."
The name "Snowy River" was, Grieco explains, a very simple decision.
"It was pretty clear what we were going to call the formation from the very beginning. It looked exactly like a river that had been covered with snow," Grieco remembers.
When asked about his decision to attend Tech Grieco says, "New Mexico Tech has a reputation of being the best geology school in the United States. The fact that it was very inexpensive and in-state made the decision easy."
Grieco was also attracted to the fact that attending New Mexico Tech would allow him to continue exploring Snowy River.
Grieco graduated from New Mexico Tech in May 2007 with bachelor's degrees in both Physics and Earth and Environmental Science (with a Geology option).
The main goal for the continued exploration of Snowy River, while Grieco was attending New Mexico Tech, was to dig a new route to the formation, since the original one was closed because of concerns that it was too dangerous. This goal, Grieco says, was accomplished in June.
Grieco is currently an intern for Los Alamos National Laboratory where he is performing spectroscopic analysis on Native American artifacts for the Museum of New Mexico in Santa Fe.
Grieco plans on attending graduate school to earn an advanced degree in electrical engineering. He intends to specialize in photonics.
When asked what he considers his greatest achievement to date, Grieco says, "Snowy River is definitely my greatest achievement at this point. It will be hard to top, but I have high hopes for the future."
Grieco says that as an undergraduate he was able to develop a broad knowledge base and get a large amount of laboratory experience at New Mexico Tech. He explains that these things have prepared him well for work in the real world.
To current Tech students, Grieco says, "Try not to fall behind on your work. More importantly, always remember that New Mexico Tech is harder than real life."

The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life recently published seven charts that show trends over 13 years of polling on same-sex marriage.
According to the polling, not only is support for same-sex marriage growing across different demographics, but it also runs especially high in groups that are growing the fastest.

Hello all, here's my story.
My eyes were bad pre-surgery, -10.25 in L eye and -6.50 in my R. I had custom lask (Zyoptic) 2 weeks ago.
As most have posted 1st day was quite crummy but I woke up on post-op day 1 with great sight, but then realized that this was only in my L (dominent) eye and up R eye was significantly blurry.
At my 7 day check the surgeon did admit to an under-correction of about -1.5 in my R eye and offered me a glasses script as I need good vision for work. He did say that he thought my eyes may change a bit on healing but was also talking about needing a possible touch-up.
My eye are fluctuating a bit now -unfortunately my great L eye is worse this weekend (especially with reading), with no change in my blurry R eye.
I also have a fair amount of haze in both eyes that does seem to be getting a bit better. My eyes feel quiet dry but I put in drops every hour anyway
Has anybody had an under correction of about -1.5 resolve without a further treatment?

Lil Wayne Hospitalized for Seizure-Like Symptoms
Lil Wayne suffered seizure-like symptoms while traveling on a private jet on Thursday (Oct. 25). According to TMZ, the plane made an emergency landing in an undisclosed location in Texas so Weezy could be rush to a hospital for treatment.
A rep for Wayne had no comment on the matter, however, a source close to Weezy said he's "doing better" after spending several hours at the hospital. The rapper was released around 6PM but his whereabouts are unknown at this time.
Wayne's medical scare is eerily similar to Rick Ross' double seizure attacks he suffered last year. If you recall, the Miami rapper had one seizure on a plane and was rushed to the hospital. After he was treated, he decided to board another plane and suffered another seizure attack.
Rozay blamed the two incidents on lack of sleep. "Wanting to be [the] No. 1 label in the game comes with sacrifices," he said, referencing his music empire Maybach Music Group. "In my case, it was sleep. I would get two hours of sleep and keep moving...that has to stop."
It's unclear what caused Wayne's seizure-like symptoms, but we wouldn't be surprised if it was the same diagnosis. Tunechi is certainly busy man at the moment. The Young Money honcho is working hard to get his next album 'I Am Not a Human Being II' ready for a December release.
We are glad that Lil Wayne is feeling better. Hopefully, he's getting some rest so he can let his body recharge.
Contrary to reports, Lil Wayne didn't experience a seizure-like medical scare on his private jet on Thursday. Weezy's rep informed MTV News that he was suffering from exhaustion and is doing well. "Lil Wayne was successfully released from the hospital after being treated for a severe migraine and dehydration," his rep said in a press release. "He is at home on doctor-mandated rest and will return to work soon. He appreciates all of his fans for their support and love."
Get well, Tunechi!

Easy Access is a Firefox addon which allows you to launch programs or system commands directly from the Firefox status bar.
Install the addon and you'll see an icon appear on the right side of the status bar. Click this, a drop-down menu gives you some default entries - Notepad, Paint, Calculator, My Computer, Switch Profile - and you can launch any of them with a click.
There's also a "Manage Your Own Easy Access" option which allows you to add further programs of your own.
And you can add any of all of your program icons to the left of the Easy Access icon, ensuring you'll be able to launch any of them with a single click.
As launchers go, Easy Access isn't exactly sophisticated. You can't group your icons, for instance, or reorder them, and they're not particularly configurable, either.
Still, if you always have a Firefox window open then the addon does do exactly what its name suggests, giving you very easy access to whatever tools and applications you need.
It has some limitations and interface irritations, but Easy Access does provide a simple way to launch programs directly from Firefox

Hi Claire
According to my information the Bridge Inn was always called that, although old directories etc which I got most of my information were sometimes wrong. The earliest date I have for the Inn was around 1856/7, but could be earlier. The landlord at the time was Samuel Smith (son later) who were at the Inn until around 1876/7 when possibly his wife took over.
The only record I have for an "Hatters Arms" is an old name for the Werneth Hotel in Gee Cross, the address at the time being Acorn Lane.
As stated in the post the Bridge Inn closed around 1917.

It may not be significant,but in the
1940,s there was a shop on Cheapside ,just higher up than Creese,s brewery and on the same side ,run "I think" by Tom Smith.We used to buy "pop" there
- Wednesday, 01 January, 2014
yes in the 1940- 1950 Tom's shop was just higher up than the old creese's brewery site which then became Barlova. Tom sold all basic grocery items (typical corner shop) and directly opposite was Nellie's, a lovely dear old lady who sold sweets and all the things that kids loved.
Both were great people and tolerated us cheeky kids with our light fingers with patience beyond belief.

The South Florida medical community is making a pre-emptive strike on diabetes by encouraging people to get screened to see if they are at risk of developing the quiet killer.
"Diabetes is a silent killer," said Dr. Joseph Gutman, a lead endocrinologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach.
Diabetes is the seventh-leading cause of death in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Gutman has specialized in diabetes for 27 years. In September he began "Test My Relatives," a campaign to get family members of diabetic patients to have their blood sugar levels tested.
"What I want is to outreach in the community, to help people with diabetes and offer them treatment," Gutman said.
A normal fasting blood glucose level is usually under 100mg/dl and diagnosis for diabetes is over 125mg/dl. A pre-diabetic's blood sugar level lies in between 100 to 125mg/dl.
Pre-diabetes is an opportunity for people to modify their daily routine. All it takes is a nutritious diet, daily exercise and being vigilant about checking blood sugar levels.
Being pre-diabetic is not a sentencing -- it is a warning. Treatment and lifestyle changes can prevent or delay the development of the debilitating disease.
But those at risk should be warned: pre-diabetes possesses a mean medical backhand. The condition is difficult to detect without getting screened.
Teddy Speropoulos is the director of the Memorial Diabetes and Nutrition Center in Hollywood. "Very often pre-diabetics will not have any symptoms. So if someone is at risk, testing is often the only way to get help," he said.
The center, which treats about 300 patients a month, takes appointments for new patients from South Broward as long as they have a prescription.
James Washington, 59, is pre-diabetic. He was living a sedentary life and a frequent consumer of fast food when he arrived at the center.
"I thought the four-hour class was going to be boring but it was the best thing. Without them I might be dead -- without their support and education," Washington said.
Washington has a family history of diabetes -- his uncle and cousin, both dead, suffered from it. After seven months at the center Washington said he lost 30 pounds, walks daily, eats fruits and vegetables, and checks his blood sugar levels.
"I exercise, walking three miles a day. I sleep a lot better. I couldn't walk a mile when I first started," Washington said.
Having a family history, poor diet, and a lack of exercise were all working against Washington.
Other characteristics that put someone at risk include high triglycerides, high blood pressure and polycystic ovary syndrome. Gutman said that someone with a family history and a body mass index over 30 has a 70 percent chance of being diagnosed with diabetes in their life.
Gestational diabetes or having a baby of more than nine pounds increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes America reports 40 percent of women with gestational diabetes will develop Type 2 in five to 10 years.
Ethnic groups such as African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans are at a higher risk. The skin condition Acanthosis nigricans, a darkening and thickening of the skin in its own folds and creases, is an indicator unique to Type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Luis Gonzalez-Mendoza, head of endocrinology at Miami Children's Hospital, says Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes manifest differently. Contracting Type 1 is not related to daily life, although unhealthy habits can worsen its progression. Type 1 is an innate disease in which the body stops producing insulin.
"In Type 1 there is very little you can do. It has nothing to do with lifestyle," he said.
People can still be screened for Type 1. Researchers have been able to identify biochemical antibodies that indicates someone is at risk for developing Type 1.
The detection of one antibody means the patient has a less than 25 percent chance of developing Type 1 diabetes within five years. Two antibodies increase the percentage to between 25 and 49 percent. Three or more antibodies and the risk of contracting Type 1 diabetes is greater than 50 percent, according to Della Matheson, trial coordinator at the University of Miami Diabetes Research Institute for the Type 1 diabetes study.
"It's an aggregate risk," said Matheson, "Additional testing will also help to better define the risk categories."
For Type 1 diabetics, screening and education could mean the difference between sleeping in your own bed or a hospital bed.
Allen Dray, a research scientist at the Florida Department of Agriculture, had a close call with his eldest daughter Evie, 13 years ago. She had been feeling fatigued and thirsty when Dray took her to the doctor and found out she was a Type 1 diabetic. The disease had been uncontrolled for so long she had to be admitted for 11 days.
Dray doesn't have a family history of diabetes and his wife was adopted. Their three other children were screened and their youngest, Rebecca, was found to be at moderate risk. Dr. Jay Skyler, professor and deputy director of the Diabetes Research Institute at the Miller School of Medicine at UM, detected at least two of the biochemical antibodies in her bloodstream.
Rebecca grew up watching her older sister manage her diabetes and joined an oral insulin study at the Diabetes Research Institute between 2000 and 2003. Rebecca, now 14, was diagnosed for Type 1 diabetes in June. She gives herself insulin shots and checks her blood sugar.
"The difference between our experience with Evie and our experience with Rebecca has just been tremendous. It's just the education process of being ready or not," Dray said.
For potential Type 2 diabetes patients, changing your lifestyle to incorporate healthy eating habits and doing more exercise can significantly reduce your risk of contracting the disease.
Dr. Ronald Goldberg, associate director of medical affairs at the Diabetes Research Institute at UM, helped conduct a study through the Diabetes Prevention Program comparing lifestyle intervention with metformin treatment. Metformin is a capsule taken to control blood sugar levels.
Lifestyle intervention participants took education classes, had regulated diets and increased physical activity by 150 minutes per week. They reduced the risk for Type 2 diabetes by 58 percent while metformin reduced the risk by only 31 percent.
Goldberg and Skyler believe early detection and diagnosis is the key to arming patients.
"The greatest benefit you're going to have is proportionate to how early on you can prevent this disease," Goldberg said.

By defaulting tomorrow, Argentina may trigger bondholder claims of as much as $29 billion—equal to all its foreign-currency reserves.
If the overdue interest on Argentina's dollar-denominated securities due 2033 isn't paid by July 30, provisions in bond indentures known as cross-default clauses would allow the nation's other debt holders to also demand their money back immediately. The amount corresponds to Argentina's debt issued in foreign currencies and governed by international laws.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Griesa blocked Argentina's attempt last month to transfer the $539 million in interest after the nation didn't set aside money for holdout creditors who won a ruling that entitled them to full repayment of obligations that Argentina repudiated in 2001. While Citigroup Inc. says there's little chance investors will invoke the payback clauses in coming weeks, potential claims are large enough to exhaust the country's reserves.
"It would mean that Argentina is in default on most all of its debt, and presumably everybody would be in the same boat," Anna Gelpern, a fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and a law professor at Georgetown University, said in a telephone interview.
Tomorrow is the last day Argentina has to avoid its second default in 13 years by making the interest payment to holders of $13 billion of bonds before a 30-day grace period expires.
In a default—even a temporary one—the Argentine economy will contract and the odds of a crisis are high, according to Marcos Buscaglia, an economist at Bank of America Corp. Money demand will become unstable as Argentines scramble for dollars, causing the peso to slump, he wrote in a report today.
"Argentina's current weak fiscal, monetary, and external conditions make the probability of the situation spinning out of control quite high," he wrote. "Argentina's payment capacity should not be taken for granted if it defaults."
Even though trading in the bonds suggests investors don't foresee an imminent catastrophe, the nation could still be on the hook for billions of dollars in immediate repayment.
Based on the cross-default clauses, Argentina would have to pay back the entire balance—plus unpaid interest—of any security if holders of at least 25 percent of that debt demand that their money be returned.
$95 Billion
While Argentina deposited the interest due on the 2033 bonds last month, Griesa has prevented the custodian firms from transferring the money until Argentina pays the holdouts led by billionaire Paul Singer's Elliott Management Corp.
The dispute stems from Argentina's record $95 billion default in 2001. While most of the debt was swapped for new bonds in 2005 and 2010, with holders accepting losses of about 70 percent, the holdouts were among the 7 percent who rejected the terms and sued to reclaim all principal and unpaid interest.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's government says it needs to delay the ruling until January, after the expiration of a Rights Upon Future Offers clause that's supposed to keep it from voluntarily giving better terms to the holdout creditors without extending the same offer to exchange bondholders.
Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich said today that Argentina has serviced its debt and won't default. Restructured bondholders should claim their interest payments in U.S. courts, he told reporters in Buenos Aires.
In a meeting last week with court-appointed mediator Daniel Pollack, Argentina called on the judge to create a safeguard against risks related to the RUFO clause, which the country has said may trigger claims of more than $120 billion. Griesa has rejected Argentina's repeated pleas for a delay.
Credit-default swaps that protect against losses from an Argentine default over the next three months imply a 43 percent chance of non-payment, according to data compiled by CMA. The South American nation's debt is the most expensive in the world to protect with the swaps.
"If payments are missed for a few days, or even a couple of weeks, acceleration is unlikely to happen," Citigroup analysts Guillermo Mondino and Jeff Williams wrote in a July 25 report. If bonds subject to cross-default are accelerated, Argentina would still have 60 days to pay the original bonds and declerate the notes, they said.
At 82.96 cents on the dollar as of 11:12 a.m. today in New York, the bonds due 2033 are trading above their 74-cent average of the past five years.
RUFO Clause
Average yields on Argentina's bonds were 9.7 percent yesterday. Borrowing costs for the South American country were about four times higher when former President Adolfo Rodriguez Saa halted debt payments on Dec. 24, 2001.
Many investors assume that "the default will be cured after the RUFO clause expires, so the degree of panic isn't great," Michael Roche, an emerging-market strategist at Seaport Group LLC, said in a telephone interview.
Other investors speculate that Fernandez might be able to swap investors into local-law bonds outside of Griesa's jurisdiction, and thus continue paying if there's a default.
A jurisdictional swap "would gut the legal bite" of Griesa's ruling, said Carlos Abadi, chief executive officer of New York-based investment bank ACGM Inc.

Landowner of the Year 2010 - Jim Wolfe
Red River Ranch
Tillman Co. landowner Jim Wolfe was recently awarded the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Landowner of the Year Award.
Through the Landowner of the Year program, the Wildlife Department selects a landowner who has gone above and beyond to improve their property for wildlife habitat.
Wolfe owns the Red River Ranch, about 1,000 acres bordering the Red River in Tillman County characterized by rolling sandhills and thoughtful management efforts.
Wolfe received his award at the July meeting of the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission. By his side as he received the award was Red River Ranch manager Lloyd Kelly, who plays a vital role in management project completion on the ranch.
After purchasing his ranch, Wolfe sought technical advice from a range of conservation agencies to help him improve his property for wildlife.
"With 95 percent of Oklahoma in private ownership, it's vital that our landowners be a part of the wildlife equation," said Mike Sams, private lands senior biologist for the Wildlife Department.
Wolfe has taken advantage of several programs including the Department's Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program, Deer Management Assistance Program and the Federal Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program. Wolfe has installed fencing to protect riparian areas, including more than a mile-long stretch of creek important to hundreds of wild turkeys. The creek portion of Wolfe's property is critical winter habitat for the local turkey population, providing winter roosting to an estimated 400 turkeys.
Wolfe has managed cattle grazing on his property to complement his wildlife management goals. He has installed wood duck boxes, created clearings and restored roost sites for turkeys and worked to increase forage on his ranch through soil disturbance, among other efforts.
Because of its southwest location in the state, the property has the distinction of being one of the few properties in Oklahoma to document the presence of javelinas, also called peccaries.
"This is an important recognition that we give to landowners, and Jim is very deserving," Sams said.

Female tattoos can range in any direction; they range from cute and fun, to beautiful and erotic, and will add a touch of individual personality to any woman. These day's most female tattoos are considered extremely sexy and attractive.
Tattooing for women has become mainstream and socially acceptable in almost every setting, even in the work place. I like to show hints of my shoulder and foot tattoos when I wear sexy sun dresses and sandals in the office. I have even heard that in some tattoo parlors the ratio of females getting tattoos can be as high as 70 percent women. Go girls! The main reasons I wanted to get my tattoos was to reflect my personality and major events in my life as images. Every woman has there own reasons.
There are many popular designs for women. Butterflies, Fairies, Flowers, Hearts, Dragonflies, Religious symbols, Stars, Suns, and Tribal designs seem to be the standard for most female tattoos.
I hope that this website can be resource in helping you open your mind to different tattoo possibilities, designs, and meanings. Waking up to the perfect tattoo is a very exhilarating and powerful experience, and I hope that you can enjoy your tattoo(s) as much as I enjoy mine!
For comprehensive information on piercings and body modifications visit our sister site: www.artisticpiercings.com
The tattoo process:
The first step in getting a tattoo is research. There are three very important aspects that go into this phase. The first and most important is determining the design. Study all different types of tattoo art and decide what image and meaning you want to portray.
The second is choosing a location for your tattoo; do you want your tattoo to stick out and tell everyone that you have arrived, or do you want to take a more inconspicuous approach and make it something that you can cover. This is the time when you also want to determine the size and shaping of the tattoo based on the desired location.
Step three is picking a stencil design. There are many ways to do this. You can download one of the millions of pre-made stencils on the internet or go into a tattoo parlor and pick one from there book, or, you could have one designed by a tattoo artist.
Step four is selecting a tattoo artist and shop, tattoo parlors can be scary places for women. Many are located down unlit back alleys and reek of cigarette smoke and incense. If this is your first tattoo, I would recommend that you get a referral from a friend and make sure it is a place you feel comfortable. Recently, I have seen mall tattoo shops that offer clean friendly atmospheres, and many good artists are flocking there due to the shorter work weeks and benefits. When choosing your Artist make sure you ask to see examples of his/her work. This is very important, as a bad or poorly done tattoo is hard to fix and can take hours of time and be very costly.
Once you have decided on your tattoo artist, design, and parlor, you will need to show valid ID for proof of age, most states require you to be at least 18 years old. From here I would recommend that you educate yourself on the process of the tattoo application, so that when you sit in the chair you will know exactly what to expect. The most common question I hear is does it hurt? You often hear people saying that you need to earn your tattoo, but some places now can provide you with an anesthetic to help dull the pain.
The tattoo application:
Once you have decided to go ahead and get a tattoo. I am sure you will have a lot of anxiety and concerns about the process. Especially if this is your first, we were all new the process at one point in our lives, but came to the decision that this was something that we needed to do as a woman.
Most women never forget the first time they feel the vibration and sting of the needle against their skin. Just try not to be nervous and feel free to ask your artist as many questions as necessary to help put your mind at ease. Most importantly just try and be comfortable and have a good connection with your artist.
Getting a tattoo will mostly likely only take a few hours, but it lasts a lifetime, so women need to make sure and choose their artist wisely. There are three tell-tail signs to look for to make sure that you have a good artist. This first is hygiene, make sure they are clean and presentable, and inspect there work area, it should look like a doctors office, germ and bacteria free. The second making sure that your artist understands your design and values the image, tell him/her how important this is to you and make sure he/she knows that this is something you want to be with you for life. The third is asking the artist about customizing your tattoo, the best artist will have ideas and show their creative process and imagination that only comes with experience when asked this last and critical question.
Tattoo after care:
Now that you have your tattoo and are excited and happy about this new image that has just been placed on your body, you find out that you won't even be able to display for at least 3 to 5 days, and during that time will need to take care of it to prevent scaring and scabbing.
I always recommend you carry out whatever your artist's or parlor tells you to do as far as care, but please remember to refrain from doing the following:
Avoid using skin lotions on the tattooed area; I know how most women want to put lotion on scaly or damaged skin, but this is a major NO-NO, as lotions can often breed bacteria and cause infection.
Avoid scratching your tattoo, itching is part of the healing process and will tell you that you are on your way to recovery, but do not scratch it, it can ruin the image and leave you with terrible scaring and blemished colors. I personally think that this is the hardest part of the entire process and is usually the last step before you can enjoy your tattoo.


text: I think it really depends on what you want your board to do. How often do you get conditions with decent waves that are too light for the Celeritas? My home turf is the Great Lakes - we don't get waves without a significant amount of wind, so a light wind surfboard doesn't really make a lot of sense here. Personally, I just bought a 2011 Cabrinha 178 raceboard. I figure I will use it rather than my small directional in anything under 14 - 15 knots. I couldn't quite get my head around the idea of a "modern" full-size race board - I just want something that will plane early, go upwind really well & still be reasonably comfortable to ride ...So for light wind with my statistics, what would you recommend.

UC Riverside nanotechnologists help launch new national center devoted to microelectronics
|(Nanowerk News) Three University of California, Riverside scientists and engineers are members of a new national research center the Center for Spintronic Materials, Interfaces, and Novel Architectures (C-SPIN) focused on developing the next generation of microelectronics. Led by the University of Minnesota, C-SPIN is being supported by a five-year $28 million grant, about $3 million of which is allocated to UC Riverside.
|The grant was awarded by the Semiconductor Research Corporation, a global research collaboration of private companies, universities and government agencies; and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
|C-SPIN at the University of Minnesota will bring together top researchers from across the nation, such as UCR's Roland Kawakami, Ludwig Bartels and Cengiz Ozkan, to develop technologies for spin-based computing and memory systems. Unlike today's computers, which function on the basis of electrical charges moving across wires, emerging spin-based computing systems will process and store information through spin, a fundamental property of electrons.
|"Conventional silicon electronics is running out of steam in terms of improving its performance." said Kawakami, a professor of physics and astronomy. "It is known as the 'end of the roadmap' for silicon-based technologies. Silicon won't go away, but there are physical limits to how small silicon transistors can get before they stop working. Technology is now getting very close to this limit, so the semiconductor companies are looking for alternative methods for continued improvement in electronics."
|Kawakami's research group will be working on the fabrication and testing of spintronic devices made from two-dimensional crystals, namely metal dichalcogenides (inorganic materials with unique electronic properties) and graphene. Bartels's and Ozkan's research groups will be working on the growth and characterization of two-dimensional metal dichalchogenides. Bartels, a professor of chemistry, Ozkan, a professor of mechanical engineering, and Kawakami are part of the Materials Science and Engineering Graduate Program at UCR.
|C-SPIN's director Jian-Ping Wang, an electrical and computer engineering professor at the University of Minnesota, explained that the ability to scale semiconductor technology has led to the information revolution of the past half-century.
|"However, today's semiconductor technology is reaching its fundamental limits in terms of density and power consumption," he said. "Spin-based logic and memory based on the hybridization of magnetic materials and semiconductors have the potential to create computers that are smaller, faster and more energy-efficient than conventional charge-based systems."
|Spin-based computing has gained considerable interest recently due to advances in a number of areas. It can combine memory and logic at the device and circuit level, thereby leading to much faster operation for data-intensive applications. This is crucial in the information age and includes applications such as searching, sorting, and image recognition.
|Especially important is the room temperature spin transport in graphene with high spin injection efficiency, first demonstrated by Kawakami's group. C-SPIN will help develop the graphene spintronic devices as well as explore new two-dimensional metal dichalcogenides, which are expected to allow for more facile spin manipulation.
|"All the work on spin in two-dimensional crystals is at the cutting edge of science and engineering," Kawakami said.
|Research at C-SPIN is expected to have an impact beyond the world of computer science and engineering resulting in advances in nanotechnology, materials science, physics, chemistry, circuit design, and many other fields. Headquartered at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, the center will fund research for 31 leading experts from 14 universities working in six scientific disciplines. C-SPIN will also fund research from more than 60 doctoral and post-doctoral students and host industry researchers-in-residence.
|In addition to the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and UCR, the 12 other universities involved are Carnegie Mellon University; Cornell University; Johns Hopkins University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Pennsylvania State University; Purdue University; University of Alabama; University of California, Santa Barbara; University of Iowa; University of Michigan; University of Nebraska; and University of Wisconsin-Madison.
|Industry partners include Applied Materials, Global Foundries, IBM, Intel Corporation, Micron Technology, Raytheon, Texas Instruments and United Technologies.
