The chorion is the portion of fetal membrane that eventually forms the fetal side of the placenta. The chorion contains chorionic villi, which are small finger-like projections. These villi are snipped or suctioned off for study in the procedure. Since the chorionic villi are of fetal origin, examining samples of them can provide the genetic makeup of the fetus. This test is performed to identify congenital defects. Experts use the sample to study the DNA, chromosomes, and enzymes of the fetus. The test can be done before amniocentesis, about 10 to 12 weeks after a missed period.

This medication is used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. It contains 2 pain relievers: oxycodone and aspirin. Oxycodone is an opioid (narcotic) pain reliever that acts on certain parts of the brain to relieve pain. Aspirin is known as a salicylate and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking a certain natural substance in your body to reduce pain and swelling, therefore making you more comfortable and more able to function normally.
Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor. Take it with a full glass (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) of water. Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking a dose. To help prevent stomach upset, take it with food or milk. If you have nausea, consult your doctor or pharmacist about ways to decrease nausea (such as taking antihistamines, lying down for 1 to 2 hours with as little head movement as possible). Follow your doctor's instructions exactly. Your doctor may instruct you to take this medication only as needed for shorter periods of pain (such as after surgery) or on a regular schedule for ongoing pain (such as cancer pain).
If you are taking this medication as needed, remember to take it as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, use of other pain medications, and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. Do not take more than 4 grams (4000 milligrams) of aspirin in 24 hours. Use the smallest effective dose.
If you have ongoing pain (such as due to cancer), your doctor may direct you to also take long-acting opioid medications. In that case, this medication might be used for sudden (breakthrough) pain only as needed. Other pain relievers (such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen) may also be prescribed with this medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about using oxycodone safely with other drugs.
If this medication has been taken regularly for a long time or in high doses, withdrawal symptoms (such as runny nose, irritability, trouble sleeping, sweating, stomach cramps, diarrhea) may occur if you suddenly stop taking this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions right away.
When this medication is taken for a long time, it may not work as well. Your doctor may need to increase your dose or change your medication. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well.
Along with its benefits, this medication may rarely cause abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction). This risk may be increased if you have abused alcohol or drugs in the past. Take this medication exactly as prescribed to lessen the risk of addiction.
Tell your doctor if your pain persists or worsens.
Nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, increased sweating, dry mouth, lightheadedness, or weakness may occur. Some of these side effects may decrease after you have been using this medication for a while. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.
To prevent constipation, maintain a diet adequate in fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise. Consult your pharmacist for help in selecting a laxative (such as a stimulant type with stool softener).
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: slow/fast/irregular heartbeat, mental/mood changes (such as depression, hallucinations, confusion), difficult/painful urination, ringing in the ears, decreased hearing, vision changes, easy bruising/bleeding, stomach/abdominal pain, black stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine, persistent nausea, signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine), signs of your adrenal glands not working well (such as loss of appetite, unusual tiredness, weight loss).
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: slow/shallow breathing, fainting, seizures.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -

In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before taking oxycodone with aspirin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other opioids (such as codeine, hydrocodone, oxymorphone), salicylates (such as salsalate), or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: intestinal/bowel disorders (such as paralytic ileus, infectious diarrhea, colitis, blockage), kidney disease, liver disease, bleeding/blood-clotting disorders (such as hemophilia, vitamin K deficiency, low platelet count), stomach problems (such as ulcers, heartburn, stomach pain), diabetes, gout, lung diseases (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-COPD), breathing problems (such as slow/shallow breathing, sleep apnea), growths in the nose (nasal polyps), a certain spinal problem (kyphoscoliosis), certain heart problems (such as low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat), personal or family history of regular use/abuse of drugs/alcohol/other substances, brain disorders (such as seizures, head injury, tumor, increased intracranial pressure), underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), difficulty urinating (for example, due to enlarged prostate or narrowed urethra), disease of the pancreas (such as pancreatitis), mental/mood disorders (such as toxic psychosis), gallbladder disease, adrenal gland problem (such as Addison's disease), certain enzyme deficiencies (pyruvate kinase or G6PD deficiency).
This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Avoid alcoholic beverages.
This medicine may cause stomach bleeding. Daily use of alcohol and tobacco, especially when combined with this medicine, may increase your risk for stomach bleeding. Limit alcohol and stop smoking. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking this medication.
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially stomach/intestinal bleeding and ulcers, drowsiness, dizziness, slow/shallow breathing, confusion, difficulty urinating, and constipation.
This product contains aspirin. Children and teenagers less than 18 years old should not take aspirin if they have chickenpox, flu, or any undiagnosed illness, or if they have recently received a vaccine. In these cases, taking aspirin increases the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious illness.
Before using this medication, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the risks and benefits. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. This medication is not recommended for use during pregnancy. It may harm an unborn baby and interfere with normal labor/delivery. Consult your doctor for more details.
This medication passes into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Breast-feeding while using this drug is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some of the products that may interact with this drug include: acetazolamide, certain cancer drugs (mercaptopurine, methotrexate), cimetidine, corticosteroids (such as prednisone), mifepristone, naltrexone, certain medications for pain (opioid partial agonists such as butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocine).
This medication may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with other drugs that also may cause bleeding. Examples include anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel, "blood thinners" such as dabigatran/enoxaparin/warfarin, among others.
Before using this product, consult your doctor if you have recently received certain live vaccines (such as varicella vaccine, live flu vaccine).
Other medications can affect the removal of oxycodone from your body, which may affect how oxycodone works. Examples include azole antifungals (such as ketoconazole), macrolide antibiotics (such as erythromycin), HIV medications (such as ritonavir), rifamycins (such as rifabutin, rifampin), certain drugs used to treat seizures (such as carbamazepine, phenytoin), among others.
The risk of serious side effects (such as slow/shallow breathing, severe drowsiness/dizziness) may be increased if this medication is taken with other products that also affect breathing or cause drowsiness. Therefore, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other products such as alcohol, anti-seizure drugs (such as phenobarbital), medicine for sleep or anxiety (such as alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, other narcotic pain relievers (such as codeine, oxymorphone), and psychiatric medicines (such as thioridazine, risperidone, amitriptyline, trazodone). Your medications or doses of your medications may need to be changed.
Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin) that may increase your risk for side effects if taken together with this medication. However, if your doctor has directed you to take low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams a day), you should continue taking the aspirin unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Check the labels on all your medicines (such as allergy or cough-and-cold products) because they may contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely.
This medication may interfere with certain laboratory tests (blood amylase and lipase levels, urine sugar tests), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.
If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include ringing in the ears, fever, slow/shallow breathing, severe drowsiness, slow heartbeat, severe dizziness, pinpoint pupils, cold/clammy skin, limp/weak muscles, or loss of consciousness.
Do not share this medication with others. It is against the law.
If you are using this medication regularly or at high doses, laboratory and/or medical tests (such as kidney and liver function tests, blood count, aspirin level) may be performed to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Consult your doctor for more details.
This medication has been prescribed for your current condition only. Do not use it later for another condition unless your doctor directs you to do so. A different medication may be necessary in that case.
If you take this medication regularly and you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. See packaging for the exact temperature range. If you have any questions about storage, ask your pharmacist. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medicines away from children and pets.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed.

Testing, Desert Race Fill Lofton's Time Before Daytona
Justin Lofton has spent the last two days testing in Florida with his Germain Racing team, readying for the start of the upcoming NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season on February 18th. Following his final run on Friday afternoon, Lofton will head to Arizona and transition from his No. 77 Toyota Tundra to his No. 1577 Class 1500 Buggy for this weekend's Parker 425.
"I am so excited to run this race this weekend. It is always a blast to race in the desert. It is something I will never stop doing. I have too much fun with it," Lofton said.
Lofton last raced off-road in the SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge a few weeks ago, having led day one in Class 1, and was well on his way to the win during the second day's run before a broken spindle on the last lap dashed his hopes.
This weekend the 24-year-old will split seat-time with his father Bob, who has over 20 years of off-road racing experience and numerous class wins of his own, including the Baja 1000. The duo will take turns behind the wheel of the Buggy, with Bob wheeling the first two laps and Justin completing the final 150 miles.
The Best in the Desert Racing Association's Bluewater Resort and Casino Parker 425 runs from Saturday through Monday.
In 2004, Lofton earned the Best in the Desert Class 1000 championship and Rookie of the Year honors.
Following his desert run, Lofton will head back to Florida for Speed Weeks, followed by his debut behind the wheel of the No. 77 Lofton Cattle Toyota in the NextEra Energy Resources 250 on Friday, February 18th.

If you followed Phoebe McCabe's adventures in ROGUE WAVE, the first book in the Crime by Design series, you know that this knitter has a way with chaos. If it's not bad enough that her missing brother and the man she loves appear to be no more than double-crossing art thieves, Phoebe's new textile gallery is on the edge of collapse and she holds them responsible.
A woman can only be swindled so many times before she's had enough. And yes, this strange kilm that arrives at her gallery may hold clues to the location of an ancient Goddess shrine but all she wants is justice. Or so she thinks. Isn't it strange how often we start out looking for one thing and find something else, something unexpected, something soul-changing?
Let's just say that Phoebe's in for a ride.

Citizens work to increase police accountability
SPOKANE, Wash. - As the city of Spokane awaits Karl Thompson's sentencing, a group of concerned citizens is working to increase police accountability.
Karl Thompson violated Otto Zehm's civil rights by using excessive force and lying to investigators.
The Spokane Police Accountability and Reform Coalition council says they want to prevent another Otto Zehm case from ever happening again. In order for that to happen, they say the police culture needs to change and the community needs to get involved.
There seems to be a dark shadow cast over the police department that both citizens and police officers want lifted.
The coalition met to brainstorm ways to build trust and increase accountability with the police department. Members agree that they need to prevent the next tragedy before it occurs.
"My thoughts are how do we move on from any particular incident and get at the systems under the individual incident so we can prevent them so we don't have to wait to react to a single incident," Liz Moore, Director of the Peace and Justin Action League, said.
Moore believes the change starts with a culture shift along with training officers on how to interact with victims or suspects with a mental illness.
"One of the deeper issues is what kind of use of force officers are trained to use," Moore said.
The coalition wants more transparency and independent authority in the police Ombudsman's office.
Tim Burns, the current Ombudsman, says he's investigated 125 complaints against the police department this year.
"I think we just need to be more available, more accessible and more visible in the community," Burns said.
Councilman Salbatori is proposing an ordinance to make the Ombudsman's office a permanent position and add it to the city charter. That proposal also pushes for the ability to independently investigate cases. The issue will be up for debate at city council and then up for vote in February.

text: There is an alternative to surgical implants being used/tested by two Theriogenologists at a Veterinary college in the midwest. It is a Vaginal AI done with a catheter that has an inflatable cuff which seals the vagina to prevent leakage. The thawed semen is injected through the catheter and then 6 ml of the same extender in the semen is injected behind the semen. This forces the semen well into the uterus to reach the ovaducts much like an implant without the need for surgery. The catheter is left inflated for 15 minutes to simulate a natural tie. The bitch is manually stimulated during the entire procedure to induce contractions to help move the semen as well. They have done the procedure 8 times with frozen semen producing 7 litters. The one failure involved very poor semen. They performed this procedure for me using chilled semen 6 months ago resulting in a litter of 10 puppies. You must of coarse do progesterone testing to pinpoint the surge and ovulation. Smears and vaginoscopies were also done to confirm time to inseminate. It is a simple procedure and is cheaper and safer to do. Unlike a transcervical insemination(TCI) which just deposits the semen at the cervix this procedure moves the semen well into the uterus. In a natural tie the sperm is produced first and then a larger volume of prostatic fluid is ejaculated forcing the sperm into the uterus. This procedure does the same thing. We had to inseminte the chilled semen a day early due to the male running a field trial. The semen was collected on a Thursday and inseminated 24 hours later although the eggs were not ready until Saturday. These two Vets will publish their results after twenty frozen vaginal inseminations are done. With Kent Law 4 hours away they do not get much demand for this. I just had them freeze some semen and will use it to help them finish their research. I can provide written reports from the procedure to those interested.

It's a good day for Brazilian stocks. It's a great day for struggling Brazilian telecom Oi SA (OIBR).
Emerging-market types are talking about the minuets from Brazil's central-bank meeting. Citigroup's TK discusses:
On the hawkish side, the Copom mentioned that the exchange rate will cause upward inflation pressures in the near term. However, its secondary effects may and should be limited by an appropriate stance of the monetary policy. In this regard, we highlight that 2014 CB's inflation forecasts increased in the reference scenario, which embeds Selic rate stable. This indicates the need of additional increase in the Selic rate.
The sale of undersea cables and towers announced yesterday shores up funding for a company that has pledged to pay out 2 billion reais ($900 million) to shareholders this year, invest 6 billion reais in infrastructure and reduce its 27.5 billion reais in debt, the most among local peers. The stock rose the most in more than a month yesterday.

When fishing enthusiasts from across the nation hit the Tenn-Tom Waterway on Saturday, March 23 in pursuit of points and prizes, they'll be hitting the prime time of north Mississippi's crappie rush according those in the know.
Crappie USA operates a dozen trail tournaments per year, through which fishermen qualify via performance for the trail's season-ending classic and corresponding big payday. There is one other stop in Mississippi: at Lake Washington near Greenville. The rest visit Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee.
Early start
Fulton's event will take place from 6:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. March 23.
Entrants may fish the Fulton pool or trailer as far north as Bay Springs. Weigh-in is set for 4 p.m. at the James L. Whitten Historical Center at 100 Campground Road in Fulton. The weigh-in, a corresponding kids' fishing rodeo and other events are all open to the public.
The event here is no small matter, Clay Coleman, of Clay's Bait and Tackle in Tupelo says. Contacted by Itawamba County economic development officials to supply the event's needs, he's opened a second location in Fulton for the occasion, one he hopes to continue operating permanently. For now, his second store is at 402 Access Road in the old J&J Appliance building. Permanent expansion is secondary for now, though, to the requirements that will arrive next week.
Late arrivals
"The tournament officials say they expect 60 to 70 boats," Coleman said, "but you never really know until the morning of the event. You'll have teams showing up continuously until then."
In addition to stocking tackle, Coleman is offering anglers the opportunity to pre-book minnows for the event, guaranteeing they'll have live bait in hand that morning.
Live bait
Tournament fishermen who specialize in minnows may hit the water with as many as five pounds of the baitfish on board, and most of the boats will take some quantity of minnows, specialty or not.
If 70 boats take an average of one pound of minnows each, Coleman will need a few more than 6,700 minnows that day for the tournament fishermen alone.
"This is a really big deal," Coleman said. "I've seen events like this draw 200 boats, so you never really know."
What is known, however, is that timing for a crappie tournament here could hardly be better.
"The water's warming up quickly right now," Coleman said. "They're finding 51-degree water. By next Saturday it could be up to 58. When it hits 52 to 55 degrees, the crappie really put on a push to go shallow and spawn."
That's when, by far, the largest number of big crappie are caught every year.
"By this weekend, you very well may see fish caught in three feet of water. With just a few more warm days, you'll have to hide behind a tree to bait your hook."

Cottage 1: Stinson Beach
Steps from the water in Stinson Beach, California, architect Lewis W. Butler, the principle at San Francisco-based Butler Armsden Architects, designed a home meant to bring his family together and allow them to enjoy the outdoors. Shaped like an H, with the living room serving as the connecting bridge between the two bedroom wings, the house is a model of smart, efficient design. Although the total footprint is less than 2,000 square feet, the house offers plenty of space-and privacy-to meet the needs of the architect's two children, his parents, and his sister's family. "There's just enough space for everyone to spread out to their four corners and still come together in the living room," Lewis says.
Inspired by his grandmother's William Wurster-designed Santa Cruz house, Lewis created a home that is all about the indoor-outdoor experience. Sliding glass doors that open to a deck on one side and a courtyard on the other make the space feel larger.

Binghamton University research faculty rank high nationally
BINGHAMTON, NY – Two recent rankings place Binghamton University's research and graduate programs high nationally. Results of the National Research Council 2006 Doctoral Study and a more recent 2008 study by Academic Analytics, a company that ranks universities based on faculty scholarly activity, were both released this month.
Binghamton ranks well overall, according to Nancy Stamp, dean of the Binghamton's Graduate School.
"These rankings confirm what we already know," she said. "The quality of Binghamton's graduate programs is very high. We know that because we routinely assess our programs with the goal to continually provide an outstanding education for our students." Stamp said Binghamton is on the same playing field as the University of California at Santa Cruz, the University at Buffalo and the University of Connecticut.
"We are a competitive University Center and these rankings put us where we need to be," said Interim Provost Jean-Pierre Mileur, who said that Binghamton has focused on building its research and graduate programs. "Though we're a young university, we're in the hunt, and these rankings show that we're playing very well on the doctoral level and we're continuing to get better all the time."
Several of Binghamton University's doctoral programs received especially high national rankings by Academic Analytics, said Stamp. When compared to faculty in other similar programs, five doctoral programs were in the top 25 percentile in the nation, and eight were in the top 50 percentile.
Faculty productivity in doctoral programs ranked by Academic Analytics include:
Behavioral Neuroscience in the top five along with programs at Emory and Arizona State universities and Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
Cognitive Psychology in the top 10 along with programs at Brown and Boston universities and the University of Rochester.
Clinical Psychology in the top 15 along with programs at Columbia University, the University of Rochester and Emory University.
History in the top 20 percent along with Cornell University, Vanderbilt University and the University of Texas-Austin.
Political Science in the top 25 percent along with Georgetown University, John Hopkins University and the University of Michigan.
Anthropology in the top 30 percent along with Duke, Ohio State and Vanderbilt universities.
The NRC rankings, though using data from 2006 and prior, indicate that Binghamton University has been on this path for some time, said Interim President C. Peter Magrath. "This shows our quality as a graduate and research university," he said. "By the measures they used for this study, Binghamton is on a continual upward trajectory and we expect that to continue. " As in the Academic Analytics study, several of Binghamton University's doctoral programs received especially high national placement by the NRC for research productivity. When compared to faculty in other similar programs, five doctoral programs were in the top 25 percentile in the nation, and seven were in the top 50 percentile. For the diversity ranking, 63 percent of Binghamton's programs were in the top 50 percentile, which reflects the University's commitment to diversity and internationalization.
However, rankings don't tell the whole story, Stamp said. "Binghamton's size means that students work side by side with faculty daily and Binghamton's faculty take pride in mentoring students well," she said. "Our doctoral time-to-degree is below the national norm, the percent of our doctoral students graduating is higher than the national norm –and Binghamton's doctoral students get good jobs."
About the rankings:
* Academic Analytics is based in Stony Brook, N.Y. The index measures the scholarly productivity of faculty based on their publications, citations, grants and honorary awards. The study included 168,068 faculty members associated with 8,849 PhD programs at 387 universities in the United States.
* The National Research Council 2006 Doctoral Study includes data on faculty research productivity, student support and outcomes, and faculty and student diversity. The study compares 4,838 doctoral programs in 62 subject areas across 212 institutions in the United States. Fifty-nine of Binghamton's current doctoral programs were included in the study.

Bush's withdrawl from the Kyoto Climate Summit
Bush's apparent rejection of the international treaty proceedings for global emission controls rubs me the wrong way. It makes me remember the Reagan years when Watt was our Secretary of the Interior and our chairman was saying things like "there is no such thing as acid rain" and ozone depletion, global warming, etc - while believing it was possible to shoot ICBM's from space using laser guns. There are probably yahoos out there thinking we can build another biodome somewhere if we trash our atmosphere, when the reality is we can not find liquid water anywhere beyond our precious blue planet in th endless expanse of our universe.
Bush questions the growing scientific consensus on the causes and dangers of climate change. The treaty calls for reduction of greenhouse gasses linked to global warming. The US emits roughly 25% of all greenhouse gasses into our atmosphere. The US signed the treaty in 1997 in Kyoto, thus referred to as the "Kyoto Protocol".
What worries me is that the right only care about money; usually for the "haves" verses the "have-nots", and anything that stands in the way is disposable in the near term without concern for the future. Believe me, there are things that bother me about the left too, but that's another story.
By deciding that the world's strongest and richest country shall refuse to participate in a global, United Nations summit to seek consensus on emissions controls to help the environmental health of our sole freely inhabitable planet in the universe, what message is he sending to the world? I feel compromised in the world community as an American citizen by his actions, but officials from the other international participants feel seriously compromised. Although I am no such official I feel I have an equal stake in this and believe the current adminstration's actions are irresponsible to say the least.

RE:Bush's withdrawl from the Kyoto Climate Summit
It's not just a U.S. problem Juro.
On a sighly lesser scale, a few years ago back in the U.K. we heard government appointed health officers violently objecting to any public warnings related to BSE (mad cow disease) in the absence of definitive scientific evidence - meaning we won't take any action and will actively resist any independent measures until enough people have contracted the disease.
I seem to recall GWB's father making a similar comment when he was in office about being in support of environmental protection but "not at the expense of jobs".
It sometimes seems to me that our current collective abilities to address global challenges are about as sophisticated as the techniques employed by a seveteenth century surgeon.
RE:Bush's withdrawl from the Kyoto Climate Summit
First off: Juro, this is in no way a slam on you. I don't think I will come off that way but I wanted to make sure I was clear from the start. I just love a good political debate and I couldn't resist.
Oh my nasty conservative nature is just crying for me to speak out. Before I go on I want to say up front that I do care about the environment, Ive reported contaminators and resource abusers, I always try to leave a place cleaner than when I arrived, and I am generally conservation minded.
First of all the Kyoto Protocol calls for the US to decrease its CO2 emissions to 7% below our 1990 emissions. When the standard takes effect it will mean we will have to effectively reduce our CO2 emissions by 40%. If all the countries adhere to the called for reductions we will realize a temperature reduction of .13 degrees by the year 2050 and the best guess estimates of the IPCC (the main proponent of the Kyoto Protocol) is for warming to be 2.25 degrees by 2100. (An interesting side note is that the IPCCs best guess dropped 3.55 degrees in 8 years and there is still a large body of evidence to indicate that it is still too high.)
What will we pay to achieve this reduction? The cumulative effect will be about 12% GDP per year. (Do you think the economy is suffering now?)
What might this mean in more real life terms? Taking into account population growth and making the assumption that we make lighting 20% more efficient, approximately 13 million homes would have to have their lights turned off. For the automobile industry to meet their share of the burden we would have to have an average MPG of 36. Not so bad until you consider that many of the cars on the road today will still be on the road, then to meet the average of 36 the manufacturers would have to produce vehicles with an average MPG of 60 and do it in about 7 10 years.
On to the unfairness of it all. While we are reducing our emissions by 40% countries like Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan will emit more carbon than the US under little or no restrictions while dictating compliance terms to the US. If you were in the business of making things that resulted in greenhouse gas emissions where would you do it? (yet more damage to our economy)
Debunking the warming hysteria: a number of interesting points. 1. The "carbon dioxide fertilization effect", meaning that higher CO2 levels increase plant growth like the loblolly pine (perhaps the largest producer of lumber) which will increase its growth rate by 25% per year by 2050, was underestimated by half by the computer models seriously affecting their results. 2. There are more trees in North America today than when our forefathers arrived and the forests are growing so rapidly that they are actually consuming more CO2 per year than we emit. Our continent is a net sink for CO2. 3. The vast majority of any warming that does occur will take place in the winter, and within that season, the coldest, deadliest air masses will show the greatest change. 4. In one single eruption Mt. Penatubo released into the atmosphere more greenhouse gasses than mankind has created in its ENTIRE history!
All that being said I think the Kyoto Protocol is a noble pursuit championed by truly caring individuals I just think they are misguided. Clearly there is much we can do to be better stewards of our one and only world and I am confident that our consciences and that of our country will lead us to do the right thing. Perhaps not as fast as some of us would like but they will be the ones who push the rest and it will happen.
One final note: Just today the US completed a very successful test of a laser based anti-missile defense system. And there is very strong evidence of liquid water under the ice of Jupiters moon Io. (I may have got the moon and planet mixed up.)

text: Fluoropolymer resins also are gaining ground in the medical area through applications such as catheters, heat-shrink tubing, sutures, biocontainment vessels, pre-filled syringes and inhaler components, according to John Felton of Daikin America Inc. Check out Feltons discussion in this latest The Experts Speak video. Felton, Daikin market development manager in New York, said during the Plastics in Medical Devices 2012 in Westlake that the attraction of the medical market remains a strong one for plastic materials firms. Fluoropolymers are on the high end of the price scale, but offer excellent performance with low water absorption, biocompatibility, chemical resistance and barrier properties, Felton said. He disagreed with the commonly held idea that fluoropolymers are difficult to process and should only be used for special applications. Daikin America is the Orangeburg, N.Y.-based subsidiary of Osaka, Japan-based Daikin Industries Ltd. The conference, hosted by Plastics News, was held June 12-13.

I would trust that our military & intelligence resources in place would be in a far better position to define our response than I or any other civillian on a POTUS forum could.
From the little Ive heard of this there is some confusion as to the location of the attack relative to the border of territorial air space.
If in fact our drone was attacked while it was in allowable air space I would hope our response would be emphatic enough to let them know if you mess with the bull youll get the horn; and deter any further aggressive type activities on their part

Hack-a-Thon for "Unmentionable" Issues in Adolescent Health
Mar 13, 2012, 1:12 AM, Posted by Pioneer Blog Team
Calling all app developers! On March 31, ISIS, TechSoup and Health 2.0 are teaming up for a free, live hack-a-thon event in San Francisco to design apps to address youth health-related "unmentionable" activities, including dating violence, depression, sexually transmitted diseases and substance use. The event, sponsored by an RWJF grant, aims to create apps that will excite young people to share honest, real-time, private information about their taboo, embarrassing or "unmentionable" activities with researchers and program experts who work with youth.
The hack-a-thon will bring together developers, designers, innovators and entrepreneurs for rapid development of progressive concepts and prototypes to be developed by the participating teams following the event and at future hack-a-thons. ISIS and TechSoup will partner in the future development and distribution of the concepts and designs. The grand prize winner will be revealed at ISIS' annual Sex::Tech conference and take home $1,000 cash.
Interested? Register now.

Last night the Tupelo City Council rejected a local match for a Federal Aviation Administration grant to be used improvements at Tupelo Regional Airport.
A recap from the Daily Journal's Emily Le Coz:
The City Council on Tuesday rejected a $1.8 million federal grant for airport improvements, saying Tupelo Regional Airport Director Josh Abramson failed to provide information about the grant in a timely manner.
Abramson, however, said he had told the council about the grant several times prior to Tuesday's meeting, including at least once last week. He said the grant's rejection jeopardizes a five-year capital improvement plan and puts the airport at risk of deterioration.
Council members said they had too many concerns about the plan and the airport in general to approve the grant.
This morning, authority Chairman Ty Robinson said the five-member board and the council will meet soon to hopefully resolve their differences.
"The next step is that I've asked for a work session with the council,"he said. "I want us (the airport authority) to answer all the questions that the council might have. Some of it came up last night; the council had some concerns and we want to alleviate them.
"We want to be as transparent as possible. We want to do some bridge-building. I think we have some disconnect. … we need to reconnect."
Airport Executive Director Josh Abramson asked for a $46,000 match for the $1.8 million FAA grant, but it was voted down 5-2.
Robinson said the council was presented with the information during the airport budget request last month. Records show that meeting ws held July 10.
Last night was Robinson's second meeting to attend where the information was again presented, he said.
"To be fair to both sides, I can see where some of this might be considered last-minute," he said. "There are so many pieces that go together to maximize what we can do."
Robinson said, "this is Tupelo's airport, not the airport authority's," and added that everyone was working to do what was best for the entire city.
"So we've got some bridge-buildinng to do and to work on that disconnect," he reiterated. "I'm a positive person and I'm optimistic we can get this done."
We'll have more as it develops. Read Thursday's Daily Journal for more.

text: Migration Info Swallows and swifts migrate during the day, feeding on the wing as they move to or from their breeding areas. Violet-green Swallows are relatively early spring migrants that tend to follow the coastline or low-elevation features as they travel. Cold snaps that depress insect flight can stall migration; prolonged cold weather can be fatal to swallows, particularly in the Cascade Range, where this species may appear as early as the first week of February. The early migration of this species may be related to the intense competition for nest sites, which are usually tree holes.
