Just a quick letter to tell you how pleased I am with the jewelry I ordered for my wife. She has her eyebrow pierced, and wanted something "different." I ordered her the gold gem set fixed ring, and when it came in the mail (rather quickly I might add) she was extremely happy. It was EXACTLY what I wanted for her. The little black box it came in was a nice touch too. There is no doubt that the ring I ordered is high quality, and it's beautiful! Your customer service is outstanding also! Everytime she had a question, there was an answer within 24 hours after e-mailing you. I know she will be the envy of all her friends. Thanks so much! I will recommend your site to anyone looking for body jewelry of quality. Sincerely, John and Chris

text: I like it, I have set several people up with it. Personally I'm still on 6.5 as I was waiting to see what Nokia brought out but now I'm just waiting for the price on the Titan to come down in price. The ones I have dealt with/used are the HTC Motzart and Trophy. Everyone that I know with them is happy with them.

Lotteries make a robust first half showing; H1 2014 sales up 8.4% on sales for H1 2013.
With lotteries continuing to perform strongly in the second quarter of 2014, world markets enjoyed a robust first half of the year, with half-year on half-year sales increasing by 8.4% on aggregate. Growth in global lottery sales was once again driven by the thriving Asia Pacific and Latin American regions, with more modest contributions coming from the European and African markets.
Joint EL/WLA legal seminar
A members-only European Legal Affairs Seminar is organised every year. This year for the first time, the seminar is held jointly with WLA and is open to Lotteries as well as Suppliers. During these meetings, many updates are given regarding the latest EU developments, the CJEU case law, regulatory issues, etc. In other words, the seminar enables lawyers to exchange on the latest legal news regarding the industry.
Request for proposals (RFP)
To streamline the lottery procurement process, which is notoriously costly and time consuming, the WLA has worked with NASPL, operators, suppliers and independent consultants to develop a Best Practice for lottery RFPs. The Global RFP Best Practice provides comprehensive guidance and standardization of lottery procurements while fully accounting for the legislation in the respective lottery's jurisdiction. Following the Best Practice will make it simpler, faster and cheaper to develop a successful RFP, obtaining responsive proposals and conduct the evaluation of those proposals. To watch a short movie that explains how the complex RFP process can be simplified with the WLA RFP Template, please click on the thumbnail or read more.

Lil Wayne Tells Drake to Quash Chris Brown Beefby Free Britney at . Comments
Lil Wayne is getting in the middle of Drake's beef with Chris Brown, though his goal is to end it amicably so all parties involved can keep making cash money.
Weezy and his peeps at Young Money, which reps Drake, have been quietly urging him to do what he can to put the feud to bed because it's bad for the biz.
Yes ... as violent and hardcore as the rap game cis, there is such a thing as bad PR, and Lil Wayne senses that stemming from the Chris Brown-Drake fight.
Sources say Drake has gotten calls from Weezy, Birdman, Mack Maine and others at Young Money, urging the rapper to extend an olive branch to Brown.
Since Brown appears on several tracks with YM members, they feel it's best to let bygones be bygones after the fight that got W.i.P. nightclub shut down.
Drake doesn't want to reach out to Chris, however, until he knows CB doesn't blame him for the melee that led to serious injuries and property damage.
Brown's lawyer has been saying that Drake was one of the aggressors, which the Canadian rapper denies, as does Meek Mill, the other rapper involved.
Lil Wayne has made it clear he's on Drake's side no matter what, but "making money matters most" and the bottom line trumps any personal grudge.
When Lil Wayne is the voice of reason, you know $h!t is outta hand.
Instigator or not, Drake best take heed, even if - to borrow one of our favorite Weeds quotes - thug means never having to say you're sorry.

I wouldn't read this author again. Some parts he was talking down and addressing the reader as a second grader. He tries to write two different stories in the same book. Either write bible studies or an action book.

My husband was craving something "cheesy and vegetable-y" so we threw some stuff in a pan and ended up with this. It turned out to be the most cheesy, creamy casserole I've ever had and it was fantastic. This is definitely a staple in our home now. We've done a version with just vegetables and a version with chicken.

As I continue to research power racks, the hole spacing for safety rails keeps coming up.
I ask myself "Is the difference between 1", 1.5" , & 2" especially through the bench region really that critical? I have little experience with power racks, but I know I want the spacing closer than 3". I'm just trying to figure how much closer. My workouts aren't too fancy--I'd be doing solo bench pressing, squats, rack pulls, overhead presses etc. Failure while benching is probably my biggest training concern as it relates to the spacing of the safeties. Any suggestions? Thanks

Brighton girl's wish for dream trip to Alaska comes true
Updated On: Jul 10 2013 06:58:23 PM EDT
Before the sun came up on Wednesday, a white stretch limo pulled up to the curb at the McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metro Airport.
Kid Rock wasn't inside, neither was Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander. This shining star goes by the name of Madison Wegener. She's 8 years old and going on an all-expense paid trip to Alaska.
"I am really, really, really excited," said Madison.
But the luggage tags on this families suitcases aren't the kind you fill out.
They are purple and blue and say "Make A Wish Foundation," because this trip is anything but ordinary.
"It was nice to see the smiles this morning," said Madison's mom, Cheryl Wegener. "It is so nice to just forget about the drama and be able to enjoy a family trip."
For the next 10 days, the Make A Wish Foundation will allow the Wegener family to enjoy a trip to Alaska to visit Madison's Aunt Mary Beth, who's lived there for years.
"I never see her," said Madison. "We want to fish, go whale watching, look at glaciers."
While she has adventure on the brain, with every suitcase this 8 year old moves, every high five she gives her dad, Madison's heart is working overtime.
She suffers from pulmonary hypertension, better known as PH, in other words the vessels around her heart get kinked like a garden hose.
"Her blood doesn't flow properly through the heart vessels and one side of the heart has to work a lot harder than the other, weakening it," said Rob Wegener, Madison's dad.
Mom and dad have to mix their daughters medicine, making she gets the proper dosage several times a day.
The backpack Madison is bringing on the plane with her isn't filled coloring books and crayons, it's what helps keep her alive.
"This pumps medicine right where she needs it, multiple times a day and keeps her heart beating regular," said Rob.
Medicine, equipment and gadgets needed 24/7, forcing the Wegener's to travel with a few extra suitcases then the typical family.
"We have two suitcases full of her medicine," said Cheryl. "Another filled with machines and another with batteries for her machines."
But Madison has a smile that lights up a room, look at her you'd never know she was sick.
"The doctors say she's one in million because so few children battle these things," said Rob. "But she's one in million for so much more."

text: My Professor On 'Occupy Wall Street' by Spyridon Mitsotakis 17 Oct 2011 post a comment Share This: While the term "well meaning liberal" is increasingly laughable, there are a few good apples in the bunch - and one of the best is My Professor, Robert Cohen. In accordance with his position as a leading scholar of student protest movements in the 1930s and 1960s, he was interviewed over at the Huffington Post (who's front page editor was in Professor Cohen's class with me) about "Occupy Wall Street". Here is some of what he has to say: I think far too much is being made about the lack of one specific demand. The historical significance of many demonstrations often transcends one specific demand because they articulate and symbolize dissent around a whole series of issues and conditions. What is important is whether this protest grows and has influence first in the streets and then in the mainstream media and political system -- and it seems to be getting there. This movement is demonstrating that the failure of the two parties and the Tea Party to offer realistic solutions to the economic crisis, the rising inequality of our economic system, and the endless wars that divert our resources and cause pointless bloodshed, are generating mass dissent on the left. They need to gain influence in the media? Ask Rush about that. Keep the "rising inequality of our economic system" part for in mind for this next part. The interviewer asks: "How does Occupy Wall Street prevent itself from being the left's version of The Tea Party? In other words, how does it prevent itself from being co-opted by the Democrats or the mainstream media while remaining an organic movement?" (I don't know wtf that guy is talking about. He apparently thinks the TEA party has been co-opted by the GOP, dispute the fact that the GOP establishment is freaking out about how the TEA party is co-opting them!) Profesor Cohen responds: I think this question's premises are backwards. If a movement is to have influence over mainstream institutions, it has to connect with them and lead politicians to begin addressing the concerns the movement has articulated about the need for greater regulation of Wall Street and the banks and more equity in our socio-economic system. Getting any of this to happen is a sign of at least partial victory -- real influence, not co-optation. The left wanted the New Deal to do far more in the 1930s, for example, to aid needy students. It wanted all of them to get federal aid. The New Deal's NYA [National Youth Administration] could not help them all, but did help millions of these students through work-study scholarships. This New Deal aid represented only a partial victory, and the students movement pushed for more, but even this limited federal aid was far better than the zip that needy students had gotten before, under Hoover. So this was not co-optation, it was translating radical demands into more reformist programs. The political system is being tested as to whether it is responsive to its citizenry and if it is, that is a plus and not something to be written off as co-optation. (Stick with me, folks) Later, the interviewer asks: "The 60s protest movement in America was largely started on college campuses. Occupy Wall Street seems to have its origins mostly off-campus, and was organized primarily, if not exclusively, on the Internet. How do you believe the demographics of this protest differ from other large scale American protests throughout history, and what does that mean for Occupy Wall Street?" Profesor Cohen says: There are lots of students and recent college grads at the center of this movement, so I don't think you are correct about its roots being solely off campus. But it is clear that already this movement has united blue and white collar workers, students and unions, in ways that did not occur in the 60s. The demographics remind me more of the 1930s -- when very diverse segments of society, labor, students, the elderly, farmers, etc., were mobilizing for socially democratic solutions to the social and economic crisis of the Great Depression -- than the 60s. And that's because the economic crisis in both the 30s and today is so massive. So, basically, Profesor Cohen believes OWS is a re-run of the 1930s social movements (side note: which should appropriately include the unmentioned charades of unhinged commie union thugs and noisy/clueless red student charlatans), but he makes the mistake of seeing another New Deal as the solution - when in fact the New Deal failed in every single one of it's objectives outside of the creation of the Social Security/Welfare State opiate. The talk of using another New Deal to fix social and economic inequalities is even more stunning, because it was the government intrusions of the 1930s that created today's exacerbated inequalities in the first place! This was made clear in three articles, two by Walter E. Williams (WW1 and WW2) and one by Thomas Sowell (TS) which, for your reading pleasure, will be amalgamated into one: [WW1:] Chapter 3 of "Race and Economics," my most recent book, starts out, "Some might find it puzzling that during times of gross racial discrimination, black unemployment was lower and blacks were more active in the labor force than they are today." [TS:] Moreover, the duration of unemployment among blacks was shorter than among whites between 1890 and 1900, whereas unemployment has become both higher and longer-lasting among blacks than among whites in more recent times. [WW1:] How might one explain yesteryear's lower black unemployment and greater labor force participation? The usual academic, civil rights or media racial discrimination explanation for black/white socio-economic differences just wouldn't hold up. I can't imagine even the most harebrained professor, civil rights leader or media "expert" arguing that there was less discrimination a century ago and that explains why there was greater black labor market participation. Racial discrimination or low skills can explain low wages but not unemployment. [TS:] None of this is explainable by what most people believe or say in the media or in academia. But it is perfectly consistent with the economics of the marketplace and the consequences of political interventions in the marketplace. "Race and Economics" explains how such interventions impact blacks and other minorities, whether in housing markets, the railroad industry or the licensing of taxicabs-- and irrespective of the intentions behind the government's actions. Minimum wage laws are classic examples. [WW2:] One effect of a minimum wage law is that of discrimination against the employment of less-preferred workers. Within the category of less-preferred workers are those with low skills. Teens are disproportionately represented among such workers and are therefore more adversely affected by minimum wages. Black teens are disproportionately represented among teens with low skills and therefore share a greater burden of minimum wages. [TS:] The last year in which the black unemployment rate was lower than the white unemployment rate was 1930. That was also the last year in which there was no federal minimum wage law. [WW1:]During the 1930s, there were a number of federal government interventions that changed the black employment picture. The first was the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931, which mandated minimum wages on federally financed or assisted construction projects. During the bill's legislative debate, the racial objectives were clear. Rep. John Cochran, D-Mo., said he had "received numerous complaints ... about Southern contractors employing low-paid colored mechanics getting work and bringing the employees from the South." Rep. Clayton Allgood, D-Ala., complained: "Reference has been made to a contractor from Alabama who went to New York with bootleg labor. ... That contractor has cheap colored labor that he transports, and he puts them in cabins, and it is labor of that sort that is in competition with white labor throughout the country." Rep. William Upshaw, D-Ga., spoke of the "superabundance or large aggregation of Negro labor." American Federation of Labor President William Green said, "Colored labor is being sought to demoralize wage rates." For decades after Davis-Bacon enactment, black workers on federally financed or assisted construction projects virtually disappeared. The Davis-Bacon Act is still on the books, and tragically today's [ultra-left wing Congressional Black Caucus], doing the bidding of their labor union allies, vote against any effort to modify or eliminate its restrictions. [WW2:] One of the more insidious effects of minimum wages is that it lowers the cost of racial discrimination; in fact, minimum wage laws are one of the most effective tools in the arsenals of racists everywhere, as demonstrated by just a couple of examples. During South Africa's apartheid era, its racist unions [many of which, as Profesor Williams points out in his 1989 book South Africa's War against Capitalism, were controlled by the lilly-white South African Communist Party] were the major supporters of minimum wages for blacks. South Africa's Wage Board said, "The method would be to fix a minimum rate for an occupation or craft so high that no Native would likely be employed." In the U.S., in the aftermath of a strike by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, when the arbitration board decreed that blacks and whites were to be paid equal wages, the white unionists expressed their delight saying, "If this course of action is followed by the company and the incentive for employing the Negro thus removed, the strike will not have been in vain." [TS:] Minimum wages were required more broadly under the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 and under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, with negative consequences for black employment across a much wider range of industries. [WW1:] Being unemployed has significant negative social consequences, one of them noted in the 1960s by Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who raised the alarm about the link between joblessness and the decline of the black family, saying that men without work become less attractive as marriage partners. Between 1890 and 1940, a slightly higher percentage of black adults had married than white adults. Today black marriage rates have fallen precipitously, where 72 percent of black children are born to unwed mothers. Profesor Cohen concludes the interview saying: "this is already the largest left movement since the 1960s". If this is the best they've got, then we may be in for smoother sailing then we thought. (Don't count on it, though)

text: Google Admits Blacks and Hispanics Are Just 5% of its Workforce Print article Send a Tip by Daniel Nussbaum 29 May 2014 post a comment Google released a report on Wednesday outlining the demographic information about their employees, called "Getting to work on diversity at Google." According to the report, 70% of Google's employees are male, and 61% are white. Asian-Americans make up 30% of all employees, while black (2%) and Hispanic employees (3%) make up just 5% of the company's workforce combined. Google readily admits in the report that they are "...miles from where we want to be" when it comes to diversity, although the company apparently has its reasons: women earn just 18% of all computer science degrees in the country, while black and Hispanic students earn just 5% of computer science degrees. According to TechCrunch, statistics from the National Council of Women in Technology are about on par with Google's employee data: 25% of the professional computing jobs in the U.S. workforce in 2011 were held by women, and Google's numbers fall just short of that statistic. The report continues by highlighting Google's efforts to combat their diversity problem. They claim that since 2010, they have donated $40 million to organizations "working to bring computer science education to women and girls," and have been "working with historically black colleges and universities to elevate coursework and attendance in computer science." To their credit, Google is one of the few major technology companies to release employee diversity statistics. According to a report from CNN Money, getting tech companies in Silicon Valley to volunteer employee diversity information is a long and laborious process. Earlier this month, Rev. Jesse Jackson visited Silicon Valley on a diversity mission, imploring big tech companies like eBay, Google, and Facebook to increase employee diversity at their companies. Google appears to have taken on that challenge head-on. Source: Google

Is it time for Bath to leave their traditional Recreation Ground base? © PA Photos
Bath have been given permission to increase the capacity of their iconic Recreation Ground to 14,000 for the next two seasons.
The news comes less than four weeks since the council appeared to pour cold water on the plan to increase the capacity by 2000 seats in their 150th anniversary season.
'This extra capacity will allow more people to get closer to the action during a landmark year in our history,' Bath chief executive Nick Blofeld said.
The club is still seeking a permanent increase to the ground, but these plans have been halted by local opposition.

COWAN, Tenn. — Seventy minutes from downtown Chattanooga, just a short drive over Monteagle Mountain, lies Cowan, a town hoping to capitalize on its charm.
"We're a historic railroad and industrial community that has a feeling it belongs in another time," said Jarod Pearson, secretary of Cowan Commercial Club, a civic promotion organization. "That's what people tell us they want to experience: a small town that feels like it's been stuck in time. People are fascinated by Cowan."
Staff photo by Tim Barber/Chattanooga Times Free Press - Sep 29, 2010 - Belgian waffles with warm syrup are an early morning favorite at Cowan Cafe.
Pearson said town leaders "have a good stronghold in the dining and hospitality area," and they continue to develop the retail base. The dining options offer a diversity that some might find surprising in a town of fewer than 2,000 residents.
"We are carving our niche as a small-town dining destination," Pearson said. "We have Greek, Italian, Mexican, an English tearoom and a hometown cafe all within walking distance of each other. And you get a good connection to the town when you eat here because Cowan has a character all its own."
Two long-standing restaurants are prime examples of the diversity of tastes. At Sernicola's, you'll step into the flavors of Old World Italy. The inside is modeled after a restaurant in Naples that is essentially a courtyard cafe between two historic apartment buildings, according to the owners. Nearby, Corner House Cafe, a favorite lunch spot, serves up Southern specialties inside an old, white, frame home.
Cowan's block-long row of restaurants also includes three places that have opened in the past year.
Owner Gonzalo Grez works from a foundation of freshness, evident in his description of his parents' home in Central Mexico.
"My father has avocado trees filling his yard," he said. "Everyone has guacamole on their tables every day."
Each of his two chefs has 15 years' experience. Everything is made from scratch.
"We cut our own meat, marinate and tenderize it," he said. "We're cooking all day."
This is Grez's first restaurant, though he's worked in the industry for more than 20 years. He and manager Jose Barzola opened the restaurant in July.
"We looked everywhere to find the right place for a restaurant, and Cowan was the perfect fit," Barzola said. "The people are very nice, and having the [University of the South at Sewanee] on the mountain — it's just a good location for us."
Fiesta Grill has the traditional offerings, such as chimichangas, burritos, tacos and fajitas. What sets it apart is the quality of the food and the decor of the restaurant, Barzola added.
The restaurant is housed in a historic building overlooking the old train depot and surrounding park, a focal point for Cowan visitors.
John Gegumis opened Second Avenue Cafe in June 2009, continuing a tradition of family restaurateurs from the Corinthian region of Greece, where he still maintains a home.
Gegumis owned a restaurant in Memphis, O'Kypos, but moved to Cowan to be closer to his daughter in Estill Springs, Tenn.
Many menu items are created from recipes that go back 300 years, he said. Bread is made fresh every day, baklava a couple of times a week.
The lamb and prime rib used for gyros are roasted in-house. Seafood is delivered fresh twice a week for dishes such as almond-crusted baked tilapia and seafood fettuccine.
"Everything is made from scratch," Gegumis said.
Tom Wagner found his way to Cowan via Sacramento, Calif., based in large part on Cowan's hospitality.
"I worked in the restaurant business for 50 years and had an idea of opening a breakfast-only restaurant after I retired," he said.
He had narrowed his list of destinations in the Volunteer State to five possibilities, then called five real-estate agents.
"The nicest, most friendly Realtor was from Cowan, so I packed everything up and moved here," he said.
He opened his new restaurant, then called Breakfast in Cowan, in February, serving home-baked breads, made-from-scratch pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon and sausage. He roasts his own coffee.
Before long, customers began asking for sandwiches around the noon hour.
"So we started making them using what we had on hand — egg sandwiches, BLTs. Just what we already had," Wagner said.
With his burgeoning lunch crowd, it made sense to change the name back to its original, Cowan Cafe.
With that decision made, he added homemade soups and fully loaded chili to the menu.
"The first time we served our chicken noodle, we ran out instantly," Wagner said.
The restaurant also is home to the only authentic ice cream parlor in town, serving nine Blue Bell flavors in sundaes, banana splits, malts, shakes and cones.

Epiphanies from George Papandreou
The scion of a socialist political dynasty, son of one prime minister and grandson of another, George Papandreou has also inherited the unwelcome task of bringing Greece's sinking economy back from the depths of the Aegean. Here, he explains how Greeks are more stoic than you think, that Europe isn't the problem -- and why markets are not gods.
Our country was not well run. There was a lack of transparency; there was a lot of money that was lost, wasted, through huge bureaucracy, a clientelistic system, patronage, and then of course, graft.
There was a period of almost terror, being terrorized by the markets every day, being told by the Greek and international press and all kinds of gurus on the economy that you will lose your money, you will lose your euro, you will lose your savings, there will be catastrophe.
My experience is actually a Greek experience. Living abroad, diaspora, exile, as a refugee; going through dictatorships, jails, persecution -- these are things which pretty much every Greek family has had some relative go through. And one thing you hear in Greece is, "Yes, this is a crisis, but we have come through difficult times before. Let's huddle together and work it out."
Markets are fallible, and we should not worship them as gods. We have to see how to put them to best use to help our economies and our societies. You can get a psychology in the markets that is not rational, and that can become a mob psychology, which can go in a positive direction, creating bubbles, or in a negative direction, creating catastrophes.
On the one hand, we have huge capabilities and means to deal with crises, but on the other hand, the problems, because they're global, interconnected, and interdependent, make people feel disempowered. And that sense of disempowerment is going to create more insecurity and more mistrust in the political institutions we have -- and that could range from apathy to violence, from fundamentalism to populism.
We need more Europe, not less. We have to move down a path of more coordination, deepening our integration. Otherwise, we face the prospect of moving back to more nationalistic, more self-centered policies. And that, I think, would be very sad after what we've been able to achieve in Europe over these last decades.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Nick Gruninger made a game-winning layup with 2.6 seconds remaining to lead UC-Riverside past UIC 57-56 on Friday night.

November 23, 2014
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - It isn't easy being the son of an icon.
Yet Ohio State's Adam Griffin seems comfortable in his skin and with his relationship with his father, Archie Griffin, the only two-time winner of the Heisman Trophy.
The younger Griffin is a backup cornerback for the 14th-ranked Buckeyes, who take on Central Florida on Saturday. He is coming off a season-opener against Miami (Ohio) in which he earned special teams player of the week honors from coach Urban Meyer.
He wasn't pushed into the sport by his dad, although Adam and his two brothers were encouraged to play sports of any kind for the lessons learned and the discipline required.
Now his teammates call him "Young Arch." And he is more than happy to embrace his legacy instead of hiding from it.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Report: Blue Jays 'heavily scouting' D-backs' Aaron Hill, Martin Prado ahead of deadline
Joe Thatcher might have been the first player traded away by the Arizona Diamondbacks ahead of the July 31 deadline, but more than likely the left-handed reliever won't be the last.
According to ESPN insider Jim Bowden, the Toronto Blue Jays have been scouting both Aaron Hill and Martin Prado with the hopes of potentially upgrading their infield -- which is minus Brett Lowrie (broken finger) -- before the stretch run in the American League East.
Hill, who began his career in Toronto before being acquired by Arizona in Aug. 2011, has had his fair share of struggles this season -- batting .245 with six home runs and 42 RBI.
The 32-year-old's contract with the D-backs runs through the end of the 2016 season. He's scheduled to make $12 million in 2015.
Prado, who was part of the blockbuster deal in Jan. 2013 that sent Justin Upton to the Atlanta Braves, has a .268 batting average to go along with mediocre power numbers (three home runs and 34 RBI). He also has 13 errors and 13 GIDPs on the season.
The Venezuelan is currently on the second year of a four-year deal. Arizona still owes him $22 million after the 2014 campaign.
In addition to Hill and Prado, the Blue Jays have also been watching San Diego Padres third baseman Chase Headley.
Although as Bowden noted, Toronto hasn't been terribly impressed by what it's seen from any of the three players.

A few months from now, Peter Anthony Schlesinger hopes to zap a laser beam at a couple of chickens or other animals in a cage a few dozen yards away.
If all goes as planned, the chickens will be frozen in midcluck, their leg and wing muscles paralyzed by an electrical charge created by the beam, even as their heart and lungs continue to function normally.
Among those most interested in the demonstration's outcome will be officials at the Pentagon, who helped fund Schlesinger's work and are looking at this type of device to do a lot more than just zap a chicken.
Devices like these, known as directed-energy weapons, could play a huge role in wars in coming years.
''When you can do things at the speed of light, all sorts of new capabilities are there,'' said Delores Etter, a former undersecretary of defense for science and technology and a major advocate of directedenergy weapons.
Directed energy could bring numerous advantages to the battlefield in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, where U.S. troops have had to deal with hostile but unarmed crowds as well as dangerous insurgents.
Developers say directedenergy weapons could fry the electronics of missiles and roadside bombs. A weapon called the Active Denial System repels adversaries by heating the water molecules in their skin with microwave energy. ''It just feels like your skin is on fire,'' said Rich Garcia, a spokesman for the laboratory.
A Humvee-mounted Active Denial weapon is expected to be given to all services by the end of this year for evaluation.
But the idea of using directed energy against humans is already creating controversy, fueled by deaths allegedly caused by Tasers.
Some experts believe the use of directed energy will be hamstrung by international law and treaties.
Military officials believe the intended uses of the Active Denial System do not violate any international laws or treaties.
''You can rest assured that with this system, when it finally is deployed, we will be very, very clear about what the intended uses are,'' said Marine Corps Capt. Daniel McSweeney, spokesman for the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate.
Human testing of the Active Denial System began after researchers concluded it could be used without permanent harm.
The weapons' developers pitch them for their lifesaving potential. The pinpoint accuracy of a laser could eliminate collateral damage caused by missile explosions, the argument goes.
Many weapons are in the prototype stage.
Production models, if approved by the military, would not be ready for a few years.

NEW YORK (AP) - More than 100 people have been indicted in an identity theft ring that New York authorities say involved bank tellers, store employees and restaurant workers skimming customers' personal information.
Law enforcers say group was based in the New York City borough of Queens but had ties to Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and District Attorney Richard Brown said Friday the criminals specialized in counterfeit credit cards.
Authorities say the thieves went on shopping sprees with the counterfeit cards. The high-end goods were later sold on the street.

Loving to Grow Food
I was curious to visit Bryn's home since she has told me about the large quantity of tomatoes that a few of her plants produced. She had so many that she even shared with her neighbors, family, and the food bank last year. Having grown up on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania where her family was always growing things in their large backyard garden, it was only natural for Bryn to have a garden of her own. Her education in horticulture makes gardening easier for her, but after my visit it was obvious that gardening was something that anyone can do with a little dedication. Bryn and her family have been living in their townhome…

Time to Plant Virginia Native Bulbs
Planting in this area starts in mid to late October for most bulbs. Planting after the first hard frost (late October or early November) is best for tulips. Bulbs are not shipped after early December, so plan accordingly. There are some exceptions to fall planting – Colchicum is best planted by early fall before it blooms. Planting Depth and Width – Use the general three times rule when planting most dormant bulbs Plant about 3 times the height of the bulb (measured from the soil surface down to the tip of the bulb). Space bulbs at least three times their width apart. Actual planting depth can vary from about2 times to 4 times the height of the bulb – bulbs…

It produces the largest edible fruit indigenous to North America. The plant has large oblong leaves and many observers think it looks like a tropical plant, although it is native to over 25 states in the eastern U.S. It's generally found in patches in well-drained, deep, fertile bottom-land and hilly upland habitat.

"Late night YouTube watching was a bad idea. So many boys pretending to be professional wrstlers. A pair of trunks and a ring don't make you a wrestler."
- Mike Bennett bashing fans who are amateur wrestlers
Since every wrestling fan on the planet is curious about CM Punk leaving WWE, TNA has decided to take advantage of the situation by posting several of his matches for free on their YouTube account this week. Punk worked for the company during their early years.
Edge recently paid a surprise visit to a comedy show that Mick Foley was doing in New York, and the video of that appearance has now surfaced online.
Even though she is no longer with the company, WWE has decided to feature Beth Phoenix and her Glam Slam finisher on an episode of 30 Second Fury.
At a Dragon Gate USA show, Kassius Ohno, who was recently released by WWE, took a jab at Triple H by having his opponent doing the crotch chop and Pedigree finisher, which Ohno was able to kick out of at the one count.
TNA released a video, where Bobby Roode attacked James Storm inside of a bar in Orlando.
In order to give him a little bit of momentum heading into the Survivor Series, Alberto Del Rio was given a victory over Santino Marella on WWE Main Event this week.
An announcement has been made that Shark Boy will be returning to TNA this week on the special Turning Point edition of Impact Wrestling.
Former WWE star Nikolai Volkov and former NWA star Bobby Fulton were forced to wrestle on a mat at an independent wrestling show in a small town in Ohio recently, as promoters were unable to secure a ring for them to work on.
While many fans have forgotten about him nowadays, John Laurinaitis still remains backstage for WWE, where he is working as an agent. He has accepted his demotion within the company and is not expected back on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown anytime soon.
"Right. I think he, and I'm not inside his head, but for whatever reason I hear from a lot of guys that he has a little chip on his shoulder about certain guys. I think, it's one of those things where he always wanted guys to be on their defenses around him and I never really was because I was really comfortable there, especially when I got WWE agents that were putting me over to him, members of creative and stuff like that. So I was always comfortable because I knew I had all these people that were putting me over to him, so I think he kind of didn't like that. I don't know him personally. I haven't talked to him more than this interview backstage kind of thing, but I always got the feeling that he was upset about how un-nervous or how comfortable I was there and not like a yes sir, no sir kind of thing. It's his prerogative or whatever. He was in charge. So, for whatever reason it was, he just never, he always kind of had a chip on his shoulder towards me."
Since he made a cameo appearance during a backstage segment at the Survivor Series, speculations have arisen about John Laurinaitis making his return to WWE television, but the former on screen general manager is not scheduled to do so anytime soon.
Ric Flair recently addressed a high school football team, where one of the players was the son of John Laurinaitis.
WWE.com has announced that John Laurinaitis has resigned from his real life position as Senior Vice President of Talent Operations. He will remain with the company as a road agent, however.
