There are more young people in the world today than at any other point in history. That means the world needs to prioritize the sexual and reproductive health of young people immediately, because the world can't afford to wait. Our latest policy brief explains what barriers young people face in accessing reproductive health care, and how we can help them break through.
Some fast facts from our policy brief:
- In 2014, the world's population reached 7.2 billion people — more than 40 percent are under the age of 24, and about one quarter are under the age of 15. Most of these young people, who are entering reproductive age, live in the developing world.
- Unmet need for contraception among adolescents is as high as 60 percent in some areas of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
- Nearly one in five girls in the developing world becomes pregnant before the age of 18, and nearly two million girls under the age of 15 give birth each year.
It's clear that there's no time to waste in prioritizing youth. Read our full policy brief for more details.

Cleveland 11/8/2007
A caretaker,Marika Kalman of Solon , was in the process of being sentenced on charges she stole $90,000 from an elderly woman in her care when he fainted.
According to a news crew in the courtroom, the judge was ready to impose a two year sentence on her.
Paramedics were called to assist her. There is no word on her condition.
Prosecutors say Kalman was caring for a Solon woman and managed to obtain power of attorney for her.
Over the course of 3 years, Kalman stole $90,000 by convincing the elderly woman who had dementia to cash in bonds.
A jury convicted Kalman in September 2007 of theft. The case was prosecuted as an Elder Protection case and handled by a special unit within the prosecutor's office that deals with crimes committed against the elderly.
The sentencing could not be completed due to the interruption caused by Kalman's collapse. As a

TAMPA — Two weeks after Tampa banned lawn sprinkling, city water officials gave their own Parks Department the green light to violate that rule.
An exemption granted April 17 allowed twice-weekly watering of city-owned athletic fields and clay tennis courts, and as-needed watering at its plant nursery at Lowry Park.
But Monday, after news reports called attention to the in-house exemption, Mayor Pam Iorio rescinded it, telling parks officials to irrigate with reclaimed water.
Parks officials initially said they needed the variance at recreation sites for athlete safety, dust control and to repair turf after heavy use.
Water Department director Brad Baird granted the waiver for 11 different athletic fields not serviced by reclaimed water.
Baird said the mayor had been unaware of the exemption.
Parks and recreation director Karen Palus said she did consider having trucks deliver reclaimed water to those locations, but feared the force of the water coming from the hoses would damage the fields.
"We treated parks and recreation like we treated everybody else," said Water Department spokesman Eli Franco. "If there are legitimate reasons, and they put together a plan that shows every attempt to conserve water, we grant the variance."
Nearly 20 variances have been granted since April 3, when the sprinkling ban went into effect in response to a three-year drought, Franco said.
Many of the exemptions relate to a rule requiring owners of buildings that rely on water-based cooling systems to set thermostats at 78 degrees or above.
Some residents and business owners have also received permission to hand-water, which is allowed under the emergency restrictions, on a day other than their designated watering day.
The Tampa Sports Authority got permission to water the Buccaneers training field, and Hillsborough County schools received a variance for watering its athletic fields.
Tampa's watering restrictions are the region's most severe.
Last month, the Southwest Florida Water Management District also imposed new rules for Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties. Among other things, the regulations limit lawn sprinkling to midnight to 4 a.m., and ban ornamental fountains, residential pressure washing and car washing.
District spokeswoman Robyn Felix said the agency has had a flood of requests for exemptions to the rules.
She said the district typically gets 100 to 150 variance requests in an entire year. But in the past four weeks, about 60 exemption requests have come in for everything from car washing to care of koi ponds.
Felix said the district has approved about 12 of the requests.

Do people donate more when they perceive a single beneficiary whom they know? A field experimental test of the identifiability effect
According to the identifiability effect, people will donate more to a single beneficiary rather than to many beneficiaries, holding constant what the donations are actually used for. We test the identifiability effect for two novel subject pools (the suppliers and beneficiaries of volunteer labor). We also test a refinement of the identifiability effect where we vary whether or not the single beneficiary is personally known to the solicitees. While the behavior of volunteers is consistent with the identifiability effect, we find that the identifiability effect is reversed for beneficiaries of volunteer labor. Moreover, we find that making the single beneficiary personally known to the solicitees lowers donations by a statistically insignificant amount, suggesting that it does not enhance donations.

Who Will Pay For New York's Subway Repairs?By
It's taking a Herculean effort to get the New York transit system back up and running—one that will no doubt come with a large price tag. A 2011 report envisioned that the type of flooding Sandy has brought could cost $10 billion to fix the transportation infrastructure. Who will pay?
Some transit authorities buy insurance coverage on the open market, while other agencies self-insure when they determine that paying the claims themselves costs less than ponying up premiums to another company. That's just what New York's MTA did in 1997, when it started its own insurer, First Mutual Transportation Assurance Co. In 2010, the MTA paid almost $100 million in premiums to FMTAC, which had $592.7 million in assets.
Just because the MTA is self-insured doesn't mean it will pay the full costs of the disaster. According to a June report (PDF) from the New York Department of Financial Services, the MTA's insurer directly covers the first $25 million of property damage that the MTA occurs in a big event. When a disaster triggers larger losses, the FMTAC recoups up to $1 billion in losses from reinsurers. (As my colleague Brendan Greeley explained in his excellent cover story last year: "Reinsurance, in essence, is insurance for insurers.")
Assuming that rebuilding costs exceed $1 billion, much of the additional tab will likely be picked up by the federal government. During a disaster, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is required to reimburse states and municipalities for 75 percent of repair costs, but the proportion can go up to 90 percent or even 100 percent in extreme cases. On Oct. 31, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo requested 100 percent reimbursement for the initial response to Sandy, saying, "The cost to restore the complex electrically driven subway and rail transportation systems after total inundation from saltwater flooding will place a tremendous financial burden on New York State." On Nov. 1, New York's senators said that FEMA has agreed to bear the full costs for the first week-and-a-half of the recovery.
In a analyst note on Nov. 1, Moody's said that disasters can cause "short-term liquidity problems" as municipalities rush to get recovery money out the door. Eventually, once the local agencies settle up with the federal government and insurers, they have "an extremely strong track record of recovering from natural disasters."

Well, we knew that anyway, but there is some more stuff out on it, says the BBC: The Svensmark hypothesis is that when the solar wind is weak, more cosmic rays penetrate to Earth. That creates more charged particles in the atmosphere, which in turn induces more clouds to form, cooling the climate.
The solar folk tend to take this on a long term basis, which is fraught with problems because the cloud obs aren't good over those scales due to inter-satellite calibration etc etc. But Sloan et al. seem to have decided to take Svensmark seriously (which most people don't :-) and look to see if short-term cloud changes correlate to short-term changes in cosmic rays (because the mechanism, if it works at all, should also work on short time scales). The result: they don't, and hence it doesn't.
You can, if you please, discuss this theory over at The Sun but as you'd expect the level of discussion is rather low: apparently it was much warmer 25 kyr ago and much colder 100 kyr ago. Ah well -W]

Dennis Farina arrested for having gun in LAX
Former Law and Order actor Dennis Farina was busted at LAX Sunday trying to board a flight to Chicago with a handgun, the L.A. Times reports. Farina -- whom you may also remember as Avi in Snatch or Jack Crawford in Manhunter, among other things -- was booked on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon after screeners found a loaded .22-caliber semi-automatic pistol in his briefcase.
The 64-year-old said he had forgotten he put the gun in there and apologized profusely, but he still ended up in a Van Nuys jail for most of the day before posting $35,000 bail. Point of interest: Farina had apparently been a cop in Chicago as a younger man.
"He was apologetic and very cooperative, and he said he understood what was going to happen," LAX Police Sgt. Jim Holcomb said. What we don't understand is why he would be carrying a loaded gun for which he had no permit. Maybe he thought all those gangsters and serial killers were still coming after him.

Scanner traffic is indicating a vehicle has crashed into a power line at R and Hodgson streets in Eureka. The pole was knocked down, PG&E and officers are on scene. A reporter is also headed to the scene and we will update as soon as we have more information. R Street at Everding is being shut down, possibly for an extended period of time.
PG&E spokeswoman Jana Morris said: "We got a call at 12:28 that a vehicle hit power pole. It doesn't look like any customers are without power but the wire is down. That means the wire is live, which means electricity is running through it and we emphasize people need to stay away."

Shot-for-Shot Remake of 'It's Thanksgiving' Is Startlingly Accurate
Subscribe to TheFW on
Remember 'It's Thanksgiving?' As if you could forget — the song from the same producer as Rebecca Black's 'Friday' is simultaneously the greatest and the worst Thanksgiving song ever written. Apparently not everyone thinks it's totally worthless — YouTuber Ross Brunetti did a shot-for-shot remake, and then was helpful enough to make a side by side comparison as well. It's pretty impressive. Happy Thanksgiving!

Arrest made in fatal shooting at Fort Smith home
FORT SMITH, Ark. (AP) - Authorities have arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with a fatal shooting in Fort Smith.
Police say 28-year-old Robert Snider was shot multiple times Saturday night at a home in Fort Smith. Authorities say emergency responders took Snider to Sparks Regional Medical Center, where he later died.
Authorities arrested Jonathan Willbourn on suspicion of first-degree murder for the fatal shooting. He remains in the Sebastian County jail, and authorities didn't know if he had an attorney.
Fort Smith Police Sgt. Don Cobb tells the Southwest Times Record (http://bit.ly/1e21CT5 ) that the shooting was the result of an argument between the two men at the home.
Authorities have not yet found the weapon used in the shooting.

Riot's approach to compensation has always been about aligning the incentives of the company with Rioters, and also about ensuring that we compensate our talented team of professionals well.
As a result of our continued growth and changing circumstances, we're shifting to a new structure to recognize and reward Rioters' contributions - and that first involves a big change to our existing equity program. As part of this effort, our majority investor, Tencent, recently purchased the remaining equity of Riot Games. This allows us to move away from a Riot equity program towards a cash based incentive program that allows Rioters to share in Riot's success. This program comes in addition to our highly competitive salaries, open PTO, learning and development programs, 401K match, subsidized medical plans, and kitchens stocked with snax (poro and otherwise) all full-time Rioters get.
We're excited about the flexibility of this new approach to comp and believe it'll help us continue to ensure Riot remains a great place to work.

Hey MAB1980, what a coincidence. Seems to me we are looking for the same programs. I've found a couple of joint degrees that may interest you: 1. NYU Journalism Global-Joint Program in International Relations (Arthur L. Carter Institute of Journalism); 2. The Elliot School's program in Global Communications; 3. American University's SIS-Journalism and Public Affairs joint program, and 4. the Public Diplomacy joint MS/MA degree program at Syracuse that OregonGal mentioned. Of course some Journalism masters have courses in politics or international reporting. Let me know if you if you've found something else and good luck.
Thanks a lot OregonGal, I've researched a couple of Joint Degrees and found some very interesting options.
Journalism schools outside US
Xoan posted a topic in JournalismHello all, What J-schools should an aspiring journalist look into if he/she wants to study outside the US? I've heard of Carleton and U of British Columbia, but are they any good? Thanx
Norman Paterson School of International Affairs
Xoan replied to a topic in Government AffairsBUMP, ¿someone?
MPA or MPP for Journalism.
Xoan posted a topic in Government AffairsHello all, I'm not going to bore you with my life story, basically, I'm a lawyer (4 years prof. experience + 4 years as intern in various law firms) looking to study an MPA-MPP (depending on the school), but my goal is to get a job in media (hopefully a serious magazine like Foreign Affairs, The Economist, Time, etc.) and write/investigate. Am I aiming at the wrong target? Should I study a Masters in Journalism instead? Is there anybody out here with similar goals? Thanks to all.
Xoan started following MPA or MPP for Journalism.
Employment Prospects- MPP
Xoan replied to m4g1c0ff3's topic in Government AffairsMy 2 cents on this issue, and take note that I don't have any consulting experience. @dollarninetynine, your advice isn't that great either. You told OP that his chances of actually getting into a top MPP program were very small, yet he did get into a pretty good one. You insist that his main problem is the lack of marketable skills, yet you only know that he dropped out of a TTT and has no prior consulting experience, but ¿what about his soft skills?, ¿what about the "indirect" skills that may get him noticed, even a little bit? your opinion is based on a few pieces of information that OP has given to you. Honestly, telling him that he DOES NOT HAVE CHANCE of getting into private sector is a generalized and poorly based opinion. I understand your argument and think you may be right about the difficulties OP may face when trying to get into top level consulting firms, but this does not mean you know him or can properly assess his skills. Would you give advice on a particular investment solely based on a couple of google searches? I think/hope not. Yes, you are being honest and maybe even realistic, but still, your opinion has shifted from your original posts, you began with "slim chances", and now your are telling OP that he may very well give up and try something else. Unfortunately, OP, your road ahead will be extremely difficult, you may have to shift some of your expectations or be open to other options, but that does not mean it will be impossible. Regarding employment statistics, $1.99, is right, private-sector has the lowest hiring percent, even at top level programs. My 2 cents.

The 'Am I competitive' thread - READ ME BEFORE POSTING
Xoan replied to fenderpete's topic in Government AffairsHello everyone, I want to thank OP and everyone else who take the time to read our "am I eligible" posts. I am a lawyer (almost 3 years as a licensed attorney) but my interests are pushing me into an international affairs career.

Experience : 2.5 years in corporate, administrative and financial law (2 years as an intern and 6 months as a licensed attorney in 2 of Mexico's best (local) law firms), 1 year intern in administrative litigation, 3 years in one of the best constitutional and human rights litigation firms in Mexico (2 years as a licensed attorney, 1 year as intern) and 8 months as intern in a criminal law litigation firm. International experience: Studied 5 months in Leiden Law as exchange student, and 1 year of high school in Ireland. Relevant experience: I guess dealing with constitutaional litigation included heavy international law research Nationality: Mexican Community service: Part time for 2 years. Free legal clinic and legal support and women's rights education for impoverished women in rural mexico (heartbreaking experience). I am looking into the following programs: Fletcher AU (SIS) LSE/Sciences Po Geneva (G.I.) And if I manage to get some economics courses under my belt: SIPA Princeton (SPIA) Gtown. and some others.

William could have done better; didn't like the fit of his tux or Cheryl's costume. Her costume, last week, was bad, too.
I really do not like Melissa, not at all. I never watched her show so I only know her from what I see now. So very unfortunate that Maks got her. Damn. She is just not going to go the distance.
I'm surprised no one got a 10 tonight. I doubt William is going anywhere, so for now, Len will nitpick him to the death and then suddenly "see the light".
I'm a little worried about Melissa/Maks, but hopefully worse performances and people thinking she got screwed in the scores buys her another week.
I think it will be Martina or Jack out the door. The only thing that will save Jack is if the soap fans rally behind him. In that case, Melissa may be doomed or maybe Katherine since nobody really knows who she is.
I saw it, but I STILL don't believe that Len actually manned up and admitted to Donald that he underscored him last week.
Did anybody hear any blurbs about the hell freezing over?
What did I miss?
I'm betting on Martina or Jack going home. Gavin I think might be spared, but unless he gets better, probably not for long.

One Way Love: An Exclusive Interview with Tullian Tchividjian, Part 1
- by
- November 13, 2013
- Interviews
Today's interview is with Tullian Tchividjian, senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Much like his grandfather, Billy Graham, Tchividjian is passionate about sharing God's good news. His new book, One Way Love, provides a fresh encounter with God's unfaltering grace. Tchividjian is also sharing this message on The Gospel Tour—an inspirational tour headlined by both him and Matt Chandler.
1. Your new book, One Way Love: Inexhaustible Grace for an Exhausted World, says that the need for God's good news "has never been more urgent"—why do you feel that way?
I travel a lot and meet a lot of people. I talk to people inside and outside the church and I've never been more convinced that the message of God's inexhaustible grace is needed. Everywhere I go, people are exhausted. They're exhausted relationally, emotionally, and spiritually. After talking to the spiritually exhausted people, I discovered that their exhaustion is due, in large part, to what they think they need to be doing in order to gain and maintain God's love and favor. In theological terms, most people live their life as if their justification depends on their sanctification: if I do and become all that I must do and become, God will love me and accept me.
The message of One Way Love is that God's love for sinners like me and you is not dependent on what we do, but on what Jesus has done for us. We are accepted and approved by God because of Christ's work, not our work. This message desperately needs to be recovered in the twenty-first-century church. Church should be the one place in all of society where the weary and heavy laden should be able to come and find rest. But all too often they get to-do lists. This needs to change. We need a new reformation.
2. In One Way Love you said: "Too many people have walked away from the church, not because they're walking away from Jesus, but because the church has walked away from Jesus." What do you mean by that?
An institution theoretically devoted to providing comfort to those in need (the church) is in trouble because it has embraced the same pressure cooker we find everywhere else. In recent years, a handful of popular books have been published urging a more robust and radical expression of the Christian faith. I heartily "amen" the desire to take one's faith seriously and demonstrate before the watching world a willingness to be more than just Sunday churchgoers. The unintended consequence of this push, however, is that we can give people the impression that Christianity is first and foremost about the sacrifices we make rather than the sacrifice Jesus made for us—our performance rather than his performance for us. The hub of Christianity is not "do something for Jesus." The hub of Christianity is "Jesus has done everything for you." And my fear is that too many people, both inside and outside the church, have heard our "do more, try harder" sermons and pleas for intensified devotion and concluded that the focus of the Christian faith is the work that we do instead of the work God has done for us in the person of Jesus.
Furthermore, too many churches perpetuate the impression that Christianity is primarily concerned with "getting better"—however that is defined. The fact is that Christianity is not about good people getting better. It is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good. The heart of the Christian faith is good news—not good behavior, good technique, or good advice. So, when Sunday mornings become one more venue for performance evaluation, can you blame a person for wanting to stay at home?
3. How do you think the church should change its message?
We need to get back to preaching Christ and him crucified rather than humanity and it improved. To be sure, the gospel changes us. But when we focus on the effect before the cause—when we put the cart before the horse—we end up losing both. The focus of the Christian faith is NOT our transformation; it is Christ's substitution.
Ever since the fall of man in Genesis 3, we've been obsessed with ourselves. Add to that fuel to the fire of the Enlightenment's mantra, "Progress is inevitable," and the "manifest destiny" DNA that has marked our country since its inception, and it's no surprise that our man-centered culture of narcissism has seeped into the church. Whether it takes the crass form of "health, wealth, and prosperity" or the more theologically sophisticated form of an obsession with "sanctification" and "holiness," the bottom line is, we have concluded that this whole thing is about our transformation, not Christ's substitution. Or, to put it more accurately, Christ's substitution is a means to an end—the end being our transformation.
I can hear the objections now: "It's not either/or, Tullian, it's both/and." I'm not saying it's "either/or" but I'm also saying that it's not "both/and." It's primary/secondary, cause/effect. Those distinctions matter—a lot! Yes, the gospel does transform us. But transformation does not happen when we make transformation the warp and woof of our message. But that's exactly what's happened. Whether it's "how to have a good marriage," or "how to be more missional," or "how to practice godliness more effectively," people hear more about what they need to do than what Jesus has already done. We've taken our eyes off of Christ, "the author and finisher of our faith", to focus on ourselves. Plain and simple.

Jay Electronica, Mos Def and Curren$y Collaborate for Group Album
New Orleans rapper Curren$y has announced that he, fellow New Oreleans rapper Jay Electronica and Brooklyn veteran Mos Def have united to record an album together. The group formed after a chance meeting at Dame Dash's converted NYC art space and studio, DD172, which Mos calls a "24-Hour Karate School."
"Jay Electronica is from my city. He's from New Orleans. I never met homie until I stepped foot in this building," Curren$y told MTV. "He came here to meet Mos. And Mos, I had only known him for 24 hours prior to that. But genuine people could recognize [each other], it was like, 'Let's go.'"
Apparently Mos Def came up with a name for the trio, "Center Edge Territory," which Curren$y claims to be self-explanatory. "Everything! That's everything!" he said, when asked for a definition for the name.
"We all know the game is in turmoil. We know the machine messed it up," he continued. "We know we don't even need to play that game, especially with access to all of this s—. We are our own machine."
The group have allegedly already recorded six records together, despite having literally just met in the past couple of days. Dash was quick to claim credit for the group's collaboration, saying, "The funny thing, it came from just chilling … If you're gonna be [at DD172], there's no hanging out. There's no reason to be here unless you have the ability to work or you're working."
Rap supergroups have a history of failing to release, so we'll see what happens with this, but needless to say, we're interested.

CoverGirl LineExact Liquid Liner Reviews
Review of LineExact Liquid LinerPretty good. Being a pen, it sometimes tends to dry out, but if you just shake it, it goes on smooth. Easy to grip and easy to control. Good choice if you haven't mastered liquid eyeliner yet. — 7 years, 10 months agoshakermaker__ | 1 reviews
not so great..I loved the brush and precision, but this product did not work for me. It smeared, dried slowly, and creased. It also got all over my eyelashes and made marks below my eyes when i blinked. — 7 years, 10 months agoverysunnyish | 1 reviews
wonderfulThis product doesn't flake like most liquid liners and it is easy to wash off. It also doesn't run. I would and have recommended it to friends. — 7 years, 10 months agocfrancis | 6 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
worked pretty wellthis actually worked pretty well for me. i like how it's nice and small. it stayed put for me for several hours and didn't smudge. i ran out of it pretty quickly though — 7 years, 11 months agoanncookies | 12 reviews
if you want an eyeliner that lasts, THIS IS THE ONE!!!it lasted through school, through band practice, through dance, and lunch, and the mall, and it barely even flaked. this stuff is great. hard to apply, but you get better with practice and can always fix it with a Q tip. it looks kind of harsh too, like if you have fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes i would avoid this. but if you have medium-dark hair and eye color it looks awesome — 8 years agoTuxiedo | 9 reviews
From good to badWhen I tried this liner i absolutely loved it, the application was very easy and the color came on very dark. After wearing this for a while i noticed it came off very easily and I had to reapply many times. It also ran out very quick and the tip became very dry after a few days. I have tried other CG liners and they have all been poor quality. — 8 years agoLipstick_lux | 2 reviews
like a fun peneasy to handle, easy to use, but not very easy to clean up small mistakes without ruining everything — 8 years, 1 month agoyumcheesy | 138 reviews
Threw it in the trashThe color is too sheer, and I couldn't get it to go on at all without really pressing down, which resulted in too thick of a line. I tried it for a week and then got disgusted and threw it away. — 8 years, 1 month agobshawkins | 6 reviews
Horrible! Don't waste your money!I can usually find atleast one positive thing to say about a product even if I don't like it overall. However, this product is just downright horrible. Like other reviewers have said, it worked halfway through the first application and then dried up. Plus, in the process of trying to get some liquid out of it just to finish the application, the tip ended up getting smushed. I've used several d...read moreifferent liquid liners before and some I've loved, some I've been indifferent to, but this was one of the worst makeup products I have EVER used. Consider yourself warned. — 8 years, 2 months agoMH1983 | 7 reviews
Disliked it! (Brown/Black)This product only worked for me the first time I used it and then it seemed to have dried up. It's marker-like eyeliner. Imagine using a marker to line your lid...not so cool. I couldnt figure out how to make the liquid come out so just gave up on it. I dont recommend this product. — 8 years, 3 months agoRosyLu | 5 reviews

Infiniti Confirms 550+ HP Flagship, Defends Name Change
Recently, Infiniti announced an unprecedented and arguably awkard decision that would see almost every model in its lineup sporting a new name starting with the 2014 model year, and in a statement defending the move, the brand also confirmed a new 550 hp, V6 powered flagship.
Using its old nomenclature, Infiniti hinted that the new car would have been called the M30, which means the new flagship is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 powerplant with "potent charged induction" and could be a sedan.
The statement went on to exlpain the new nomenclature. As the Japanese automaker expands into a global brand, new markets are confused by its current naming scheme – is a JX better than an FX, for example – so the change is to not only ensure all its new models will have non-trademarked names, but that its nomenclature simply makes sense. Ordering the cars by numbers makes things simple, as a Q70 will undoubtedly be more expensive and more of a car than the Q50.
The new names were also caused in part because Infiniti plans on releasing several new models over the upcoming years and ran into the situation of finding alphanumeric combinations that weren't already taken by another automaker.
SEE ALSO: Infiniti Q, QX Nomenclature Announced as New Naming Strategy
Infiniti also confirmed that all-wheel drive models will no longer be designated by an 'X' in its name, but will simply be indicated by special badging that describes the feature on the car and will not be part of the model name.

Gun law approved by Senate committee
Tue, 09 Mar 2010 22:48:12 GMT —
A new Georgia law could allow people with gun permits to take firearms onto college campuses and in churches and bars.
Evy Sifford has owned a gun for ten years and has never had to shoot it at another person. She says she trusts the background checks that gun owners are subject to.
"If they go through the deep background check that the FBI does anyways, it's already proof right there that they're not, you know, people that are out to harm anyone for no reason," said Sifford.
Chief Roberson Brown of the Albany State University Police says, given certain incidents in the past, it's a bad idea.
"A couple weeks ago in Alabama and Columbine, and Virginia Tech, it just boggles my mind that anyone would approve to bring guns on campus," Brown said.
Justin Thomas, Worship Pastor at Central Baptist Church worries about the combination of guns and children at church, but can see both sides of the argument.
"There is that aspect of, well, if everybody knows that somebody here is going to be carrying a gun, it's a deterrent for, you know, somebody else that might want to do it," said Thomas.
Currently there is no training required to own a gun or to get a concealed weapons permit.
If the full Senate approves the bill, it will then be the House's turn to vote.

TORONTO, May 25, 2012 − During its meeting on Thursday, May 24, the Senate of York University approved the establishment of a new Faculty of Engineering, which will be known as the Lassonde School of Engineering (LSE).
"I am pleased to see our engineering aspiration become a reality," said Mamdouh Shoukri, York's president and vice-chancellor. "Since our founding, a comprehensive engineering school has long been a goal for our institution. With this historic, unanimous vote, we are now on the path to redefining engineering for the 21st century."
Work on shaping the new faculty will begin July 1. New program streams in chemical, mechanical and civil engineering will be developed. The Departments of Earth & Space Science and Engineering, and Computer Science & Engineering, along with each department's programs will move to LSE at the end of the 2012-2013 academic year.
Embracing the concept of global engineering, York University's new Lassonde School of Engineering will offer a curriculum and learning environment designed to educate future generations of engineering professionals, who in addition to possessing advanced technical and theoretical knowledge, will also be skilled communicators with an entrepreneurial mindset and a commitment to making contributions to society.
"The Senate vote takes us another step towards seeing new engineering programs, initiatives and students at York University," said Janusz Kozinski, dean of York University's Faculty of Science & Engineering. "I look forward to helping create a new generation of entrepreneurial engineers with a social conscience, professionals who will benefit York University and Canada as a whole."
LSE's mission is to graduate new engineering professionals who are articulate and confident individuals, said Kozinski. "Graduates will be broad thinkers – dynamic and motivated achievers – who distinguish themselves by their intellectual rigour, resourcefulness and innovative spirit. They will be Canada's Renaissance Engineers."
There are currently 180 undergraduate engineering students at York University. It is expected that number of students enrolled in engineering programs will grow to more than 1,800 over the next six to eight years. Leading engineering scholars are currently being recruited to help develop the school's curriculum and establish the programs.
Support for the new Faculty of Engineering was first declared in June 2011, when the Ontario government announced that it was providing a $50-million capital investment to build an engineering complex at York's Keele campus.
In November 2011, York's president announced a $25-million dollar transformative donation from Pierre Lassonde, chairman of the Franco-Nevada Corporation, for an expanded School of Engineering.
Scholarship in the LSE received support on May 4 of this year with the creation of the Bergeron Entrepreneurs in Science & Technology (BEST) Program, through a $2-million donation from Douglas and Sandra Bergeron that will be matched by the University. In addition, Canadian philanthropist Seymour Schulich recently announced a gift of $1 million to create scholarships for students in the new faculty.
York University is a leading interdisciplinary research and teaching university in Canada. York offers a modern, academic experience at the undergraduate and graduate level in Toronto – Canada's most international city. The third largest university in the country, York is host to a dynamic academic community of 55,000 students and 7,000 faculty and staff, as well as 250,000 alumni worldwide. York's 10 faculties and 28 research centres conduct ambitious, groundbreaking research that is interdisciplinary, cutting across traditional academic boundaries. This distinctive and collaborative approach is preparing students for the future and bringing fresh insights and solutions to real-world challenges. York University is an autonomous, not-for-profit corporation.

Fat Joe Taps Babes With Guns, French Montana for New Video
Fat Joe kicks his bad boy persona up a notch in the video for his new track, 'Welcome to the Darkside,' which is featured on the Bronx MC's latest mixtape, 'The Darkside Vol. II.' In the visuals, directed by Eif Rivera, Joey Crack is backed by fellow Bronx native French Montana.
The clip sees Joe and Montana inside a dimly lit warehouse while the latter rhymes, "Before you got your head blown off/ Leave me alone, leave me alone/ Before you get your head blown off/ I got a big sawed off, ring/ Hanging with a shoulder strap."
Apparently the hip-hop duo are keeping their whereabouts on the hush and have an arsenal to protect them. Montana throws in some lines about the Black Mob before his elder commences with his main verse. As he gets into his rap stance, Fat Joe is surrounded by a plethora of gun-toting babes — some are tattooed, others are voluptuous and curvy and even more are scantily clad.
"Yo, yo, what's this phenomenon/ Rose/ Gold/ Presi on my arm/ Statute with precision/ Math, do the division/ Crack ruined my vision, now all I do is the kitchen," Joe raps.
As the video comes to a close, the 41-year-old rhymer has one-up on those in search of his hideout.
Check the tracklisting for Fat Joe's 'The Darkside Vol. II,' available now, below.
1. 'Welcome To The Darkside' Feat. French Montana
2. 'Dopeman' Feat. Jadakiss & Dre of Cool & Dre
3. 'So Fly' Feat. Arland
4. 'Big Business'
5. 'Angels Say'
6. 'Pushing Keys' Feat. Raekwon
7. 'Drop A Body'

Romania's electricity producer Nuclearelectrica could attract net funds of up to EUR 83.5 million (RON 369 million) during its initial public offering on September 9, according to data recently released by the Financial Supervisory Authority.
The figure is based on the offer's price if all shares are sold during the company's initial public offering of 10 percent.
Investors may subscribe for Nuclearelectrica securities between September 9 and September 20, 2013. Within the offer, Nuclearelectrica wants to sell a total of 25.3 million shares, representing 10 percent of the company's share capital. The selling price will be between RON 11.2 and RON 15 per share.
The Underwriting Syndicate for the company's listing is composed of Swiss Capital and BT Securities.
The offer will be considered successfully terminated if all the shares are sold and the company is listed.
Earlier this year, the Romanian Government approved the conditions for selling a 10 percent share in Nuclearelectrica on the stock exchange, through a capital increase.
At that moment, the Minister Delegate for Energy, Constantin Niţă, said the government hopes to get between EUR 66 million and EUR 78 million (RON 300 – 350 million) via the offer.
Nuclearelectrica runs the Cernavoda nuclear power plant, which produces around 20 percent of Romania's energy.
The Romanian state is the major shareholder of the company with 90.28 percent of the shares, while Fondul Proprietatea holds the rest of 9.72 percent.
Earlier this year, the Romanian state sold the 15 percent share package in Transgaz, for EUR 72 million, during a secondary public offering.

Net income totaled $79 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $61 million in the second quarter of 2011. Total sales for the second quarter of 2012 increased 9% to $1.6 billion. The increase in net sales was partially impacted by $4 million in unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Comparable store sales, or sales in stores open at least a year, grew 7.0%, benefitting from comparable transactions growth of 2.9%. Services sales, which are included in total sales, grew 7% to $191 million. During the second quarter, the company generated $104 million in operating cash flow, spent $35 million in capital expenditures, distributed $15 million in dividends, and repurchased $47 million of PetSmart stock. The company ended the quarter with $354 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and zero borrowings on its credit facility. "Our performance in the second quarter was due to strength across all three merchandising categories, as well as across services," said Bob Moran, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We've built a culture of innovation and differentiation, showing our customers how we're different from the competition, and how we offer the best choice." "As a reminder, 2012 contains a 53 rd week. For all of 2012, we anticipate comparable store sales growth in the mid-single digit range, and total sales growth in the 10% to 11% range. We are raising our earnings per share guidance from a previous range of $3.19 to $3.31, to our current expectations of $3.30 to $3.40. The impact of the extra week is estimated to be $120 million in sales and $0.16 in EPS," said Chip Molloy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "For the third quarter of 2012, we are expecting comparable store sales growth in the mid-single digit range, and earnings per share between $0.59 to $0.63."

Coccidiodomycosis is the systemic fungal disease caused by the organism Coccidiodes immitis or Coccidiodes posadasii. Unlike the other two fungal diseases we have already discussed, this organism is found primarily in the southwestern United States, as well as Mexico and Central America. Southern California, Arizona and southwest Texas are common states where these incidents occur, and they seem to increase in late fall and winter. This organism seems to favor dry conditions, and high winds help it to spread.
Like the previous two fungal infections we've discussed, Coccidiodomycosis occurs when spores are inhaled. Pulmonary disease occurs as the spores spread to local lymph nodes, then to the bones, eyes, skin, heart, testicles, central nervous system and major abdominal organs. The incubation period is typically one to three weeks, although the disease can remain dormant for up to three years before causing symptoms.
Sometimes, dogs and cats are exposed to the disease and develop mild respiratory signs that resolve without treatment. Other times, more serious symptoms develop, like:
Diagnosis can be made by a number of ways. X-rays of the chest may show specific signs, and evidence of the organism can show up on microscopic examination of the fluid from the lungs or draining tracts. Unlike histoplasmosis, blood tests for coccidiodomycosis are a good way to diagnosis disease.
Male young adult dogs are most commonly affected, and strictly outdoor dogs are five times more likely to be affected than their indoor cousins. Cats are more resistant to coccidiodomycosis than dogs. They tend to develop mild respiratory signs with spontaneous recovery, and disease that has spread through the body is rare in cats.
Treatment with anti-fungal medication must be sustained for a minimum of three months (two months past resolution of clinical signs). Prognosis is fairly good – 90% of cases with localized pulmonary disease respond to treatment, and about 60% of more severe cases respond, though response in these specific cases is unpredictable. In all cases, relapses can occur, so continued treatment is important, as it carrying pet insurance that can help cover repeat cases, like Petplan.
Coming up next, we'll wrap up this series on systemic fungal diseases with a look at one that tends to affect cats more than dogs – cryptococcosis.

I found OpenRocket simple to get start with, due to the very logical design of the interface. You simply choose the components from the upper right and then you set the properties of each component, so the mass of each rocket piece is automatically calculated (and can be manually corrected if needed).
You can set size or even shape properties, choose from the materials list or add your own material, and even determine what paint is used for the component in order to get higher precision on the simulation.
Components are connected to each other as determined by the user and can contain things like the motor of the rocket for example. There are many rocket motors found on the OpenRocket list, but you can always add your own custom motor and its respective properties.
I will choose what most reminds me of Wernher von Braun, so WECO Feuerwerk it is!
There are 16 different components in 3 categories (body and fins, inner elements and mass objects) that you can define, connect with each other and use on your designs. All include common material choices, value override abilities for mass and center of gravity and can be colored differently for better individualization of each component. The designs can also be exported in PDF!
The simulation abilities of OpenRocket allow users to determine with relatively high precision what is going to happen with the rocket they designed. Through this process, we can find out what we can improve, how every change impacts the flight characteristics of our rocket and find out the values of many interesting things like the maximum velocity, max acceleration, the apogee, the flight time and the ground hit velocity.
woGue's next-get open source rocket will apparently reach 2500 meters before it explodes into hundreds little paws!
More plots can give more details about other things like the drag coefficient, angle of attack and orientation, roll characteristics and many more.
The conditions of the simulation can also be determined by the users. You can set the atmospheric temperature and pressure, the average wind speed and turbulence intensity, the launch rod length, angle and direction and the launch site altitude, longitude and latitude.
What is of particular interest and value, is the ability to determine the stability, drag characteristics and roll dynamics of each component separately and check what the Achilles heel of your design is.
What this tells me is that somehow I managed to design a rocket that has worst drag coefficient than a Fiat Multipla!
So, whether you are a rocket scientist, an amateur rocket designer, some crazy guy with some free time and money to spend, or just curious about rocket flight design and simulation dynamics, OpenRocket will certainly help you discover more about it and maybe even become the motivation to start a crazy physics hobby!

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2015/03/11 - Alpine Capital Management has re-confirmed its positive outlook on the future of Chinas online e-commerce revolution - AlpineCapitalMgmt.com.
Citing a recent market report by research group Forresters, Alpine Capital Managements Technology sector analysts predict that Chinese retailers will generate in excess of $1 trillion of online sales by 2019.
If we consider the massive emerging middle classes and the widening availability of lower-priced mobile devices, we can clearly see that the demand for online retailing is set to benefit existing platforms such as Alibaba and JD.com, whilst paving the way for new opportunities as the market becomes more defined, commented Cai Hanchao, Alpine Capital Managements Chief Tech-analyst.
Reported in 2013, China has held the top spot as the worlds largest e-commerce market since online sales surpassed $307 billion. According to the Forresters report this figure are estimated to exceed $440 billion in 2015 and are set to continue at a compounded rate upwards of 20% until the figure reaches 1 trillion in 2019.
The two main players in online retailing at this time are without doubt Alibaba and JD.com, who dominate market share within China account for 57% an 21% respectively. The attention created by Alibabas public listing at the end of 2014 highlights the company as the clear leader as its two most successful platforms, TMail and Toabao combine to deliver 85% of Alibabas bottom line, continued Mr. Hanchao.
As was evident in Alibabas initial public offering at the end of 2014, which raised a US corporate listing record of $25 billion, there is definite scope for growth as the company continues to invest in its continuing operations whilst exploring logistical improvements as it seeks to present a same day delivery service to its customers.

Former Formula One driver Nick Heidfeld will race a Nissan GT-R for Nissan Motorsport in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring at the end of June.
COLOGNE/BONN, GERMANY (Monday 28 April 2014) -GT Academy Germany Judge, Nick Heidfeld, will race the No.80 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, numbered to celebrate Nissan's 80th year.
He will team up with the most recent GT Academy Germany winner, Florian Strauss, who was chosen by Nick to make the transition from virtual to reality just eight months ago. Florian will be glad to be racing with his mentor at the Nürburgring as this will be only the fourth international race of his career. Nick and Florian will be joined by the two men who know the GT3 GT-R better than most: another GT Academy graduate, Lucas Ordóñez, and Alex Buncombe.
"I'm delighted to increase my involvement with Nissan from my judging role on the German GT Academy show to now also include racing the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 at the Nürburgring 24 Hours," said Heidfeld. "To be team-mates with Florian who I helped select as the 2013 winner of the GT Academy competition is quite incredible and is a great chance for me to continue the mentoring process with him at the Nordschleife.
Together with Alex and Lucas we will tackle one of the most beautiful and challenging circuits in the world." Lining up alongside them will be the No.30 Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, which celebrates 30 years of NISMO. This car will be engineered predominately by a team from NISMO who will travel from Japan for this event. Nissan Super GT racers, Michael Krumm and Kazuki Hoshino, will team up with Nismo Global Exchange Driver Katsumasa Chiyo and 'Ring regular' Tetsuya Tanaka in this car.
"Driving a Nissan GT-R at the Nürburgring is pure pleasure," said Krumm. "To have the opportunity to battle for top positions makes this year's race very special for me. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a few years now, and it looks like this could be the shot for a good position.
"Having said that, anything can happen at the Nordschleife," he continued. "So we also need luck of course. For the young drivers in our team it will be a huge challenge. The Nordschleife is the most challenging circuit in the world and when you add rain and fog to the equation, things can get even more uncomfortable. I'm sure they will all do a great job, as everyone has been prepared by Nissan and NISMO very well."
The third Schulze GT-R has another star driver from the virtual world, the creator of Gran Turismo, Kazanori Yamauchi and the 2009 winner of GT Academy, Jordan Tresson.
"The Nürburgring 24 Hours is a special event for Nissan," said Darren Cox, Global Head of Brand, Marketing & Sales, NISMO. "To compete at the Nordschleife will be a very proud moment for everyone involved as we think about the long line of road specification GT-Rs and now the GT-R NISMO that have grown up there.
It is important to show our fans and customers again that there is cross over between road cars and race car development at Nissan. There is no better evidence of that than the Japanese based NISMO engineers huge commitment to this global effort."
