The novel is set in Bristol, England during the 1980s. During this time period, Bristol was suffering from an economic depression. Its heyday as a manufacturing town had declined. Many businesses failed, and as people lost their jobs, they had to give up their homes. Those economic circumstances underlie the actions of Richard in the novel. As an anarchist he views his behavior as political action. He lives on the fringes of society, opening squats (abandoned houses) so that runaways and other street people will have a place to live. He also creates "lock-outs"—in the middle of the night Richard and his friends dress in costumes and squirt superglue in the locks of bank doors.
Eventually British authorities stiffened the laws about "squatting" and the practice was abandoned in the middle of the 1980s. However, at the time in which the novel is set, squatting was tolerated without too much interference from the authorities. In the novel, as long as the characters are not caught breaking into the house, the authorities are willing to tolerate their presence in the house.
Burgess convincingly describes the life of runaways on the street. When Tar first runs away to Bristol, before Gemma has joined him, he is living very badly. He tries to sleep outside in his sleeping bag but gets so cold he ends up wandering around most of the night. He then discovers that people wrap themselves in cardboard boxes to stay warm. While the boxes are an improvement,...

Literary Qualities
The outstanding literary achievement of Smack is Burgess's development of ten distinctive voices to tell the story and the placement of those voices in such a way that they comment on each other. Gemma and Tar narrate just over half of the chapters. The other chapters are distributed among Skolly, the tobacconist; Richard, the anarchist; Vonny, Richard's girlfriend through much of the novel; Sally, Rob, and Lily, all heroin addicts; Emily Brogan, Gemma's mother; and Mr. Lawson, Tar's father. Each character has a distinctive voice that conveys a complex view of the situation. None of the characters seems to speak for the author.
Because there is no consistent narrative perspective in the novel, readers must recognize irony and think carefully about what the characters are saying. An obvious example is when Gemma explains directly to the reader that using heroin is just a part of life: "You poor brat, you've been brainwashed. Look, drugs are fun. They make you feel good, that's all. Sure, they're powerful, that's why they're dangerous. So's life. If you're in control, then it's okay." However, by the end of the chapter, readers are skeptical that Gemma or any of the other characters is in control. Gemma reports that Tar had been painting a big dandelion on the wall but quit when they were doing heroin. When they "gave up junk for that week he almost finished it." Gemma assures readers that giving up heroin is not hard: "It wasn't difficult, coming off. I could do it again any time. So long as I feel like that I know it's all right." However, we never see Gemma give up heroin until she realizes that she is completely out of control.
Other character yokes help to clarify what is actually going on. Skolly happens to witness the raid on the house and does not recognize Tar and only recognizes Gemma as the girl he used to know from the massage parlor. His comment that "she looked about forty" helps readers to recognize the ways in which the characters' versions of events might not be very accurate. Similarly, Burgess uses Vonny and Richard to comment on what...

Social Sensitivity
What is most remarkable about Smack are the number of issues that are treated matter-of-factly rather than as issues to be discussed and developed as "themes." This book refuses to be categorized as a "problem novel," though it is rife with problems: alcoholism, abusive relationships, drug abuse, both hetero-and homosexual prostitution, premarital sex, teenage pregnancy, criminal behavior. All of these topics take a back seat to how Gemma and Tar develop as people. The lack of an authoritative narrative voice to condemn such behaviors is the cause of much of the controversy that surrounded this book when it first appeared. It would not be accurate to say that Burgess is not sensitive to these social problems; however by presenting them by means of the characters involved in them, he requires the readers to use their own moral judgment and interpretive skill to come to some conclusions about them. Even an issue such as the use of squatting is not wholeheartedly endorsed (though Burgess himself participated in squatting—see the author's "A Note on Squatting" at the end of the novel). Richard's political actions are undercut by Vonny who sees a need for more pragmatic rather than symbolic action. On the whole, readers themselves are left to draw their own conclusions about Gemma's and Tar's behavior.
(The entire section is 215 words.)
Topics for Discussion
1. Is Gemma justified in running away? How would you characterize her relationship with her parents? Are her parents justified in the rules they establish for her?
2. Who is to blame for Tar's miserable home? His mother? His father? Does Tar bear any responsibility?
3. Each of the narrating characters has his or her own weaknesses, biases, and flaws. How do Vonny's, Richard's, Skolly's, or any other character's problems affect their perception of Gemma and Tar?
4. Discuss Gemma's decision to make herself over as punk? What does this help us understand about her character?
5. Discuss Tar's development in the novel. How does he change?
6. Discuss Gemma's development in the novel. How does she change?
7. Why do you think that Tar is willing to try heroin? Why is Gemma willing to try it? What do their motivations say about their characters?
8. Is Gemma acting selfishly when she phones the police and reports the house?
9. Does Burgess make using heroin look attractive? Is that appropriate?
10. None of the characters seems to suffer any serious consequences for their numerous crimes in this novel. Is that realistic?
11. Discuss the role of adults and other authority figures in the novel. Explain why the adolescents in the novel do not respect the them.
12. If the dandelions that Tar sees and tries to paint are symbols, what might they...

Ideas for Reports and Papers
1. What are the physical and psychological effects of heroin addiction?
2. This novel was controversial when it was first published in Britain because some critics believed that it was inappropriate for adolescents. Agree or disagree with the critics' position and defend your answer using the text to support your position. See articles in For Further Reference for more information about the controversy.
3. Compare methadone to heroin. What does it do that helps the heroin addict? Why is it more addictive?
4. Rewrite one of the chapters from your own point of view and in your own conversational voice.
5. What were the causes of the economic depression in England in the late 1970s and 1980s?
6. What was the punk music scene in England in the 1980s? Who were the important bands? What were the best songs?

Smack was been adapted as a stage play and performed by the Oxford Stage Company and nominated in England for the Equity Award for the Best Show for Children and Young People in 1998. The novel is being adapted for a three-part TV movie currently under production. Many of Burgess's earlier novels are difficult to obtain in the United States and some are out of print. Burning Issy, a novel set in the seventeenth century, focuses on a young girl who befriends both white and black witches and is imprisoned herself as a witch. Another book by Burgess about teenagers living on the street is The Baby and Fly Pie, a futuristic novel about three street kids who intercept the kidnapping of the infant of a wealthy family...

We have bought many an r/c car over the years, and this is by far the best. It is simple to use, durable, and responsive. Our 9 year old takes it up and down the side walk, the walkways, even can drive it "curbside" if he's careful. It has fallen off the curb a few times, jumped off a made up ramp, and through some sprinkles (not completely getting wet), and works great. You may not be able to tell, but as you turn the wheels left and right, the eyes move left and right, which is pretty cool too. I can't recommend this enough as a well made, easy to use r/c car. see less

They appear to work on the same frequency. We bought a "Lighting McQueen" and a "Mater", and we thought "Mater" was broken because it would only move sometimes, and wouldn't go where we wanted. We returned it for a "Finn McMissle", and when both kids were trying to use them at the same time, one controller would run both cars. Other times, one car would just sit still, even though the "forward" level was being pressed, then all of a sudden, it would move backward - this happened if the other child move the other car backwards. This was similar to what was happening with "Mater". My husband realized they must be using the same frequency. This led to a lot of tears...try to explaining radio frequencies to a 3 and 5 year old and why only one of them can use their toy at a time...however, good tools if you are trying to teach "taking turns" see less

Sierra West called it "a pretty surreal feeling;" Adam Voss said, "I was excited to hear I was the chosen recipient."
Both University of Wisconsin-Parkside students were recently selected as Selig Scholars by the Milwaukee Brewers Community Foundation. They joined 13 other scholarship recipients during an on-field ceremony June 29 prior to the Brewers/ Arizona Diamondbacks.
"It was a pretty surreal feeling being on the field next to some of the players and being recognized by the fans," West said. "The Brewers Community Foundation does amazing work in the community and I am so blessed and very thankful for this opportunity. It was an experience I will never forget."
West, a 2012 graduate who is pursuing a master of business administration degree, applied for the Selig Scholarship online submitting the required essay, transcripts, and a resume. She received a one-year scholarship through funds donated by Brewers' players like Ryan Braun, Yovani Gallardo, Mat Gamel, and Carlos Gomez.
Voss applied for the Michael J. Bonan Scholarship through his work: he serves in the Brewers clubhouse as a batboy, a position similar to that held by Bonan who died in 2008 at the age of 22.
"Unfortunately I never had the pleasure of meeting Michael because he passed away before I was hired, but everyone that knew him dearly misses him. His family set up the scholarship in his honor," Voss said. "I did have the honor of meeting them and realized why everyone missed Michael. They were one of the nicest families I have ever met."
Like Voss, West has a team connection having previously worked as an intern for the team's Corporate Marketing Department. She admits to reading the letter "multiple times" to convince herself she had actually won the scholarship.
Voss, a Fitness Management major, hopes to use his UW-Parkside degree to change jobs in the clubhouse. His ambition is to become "a trainer with a professional team, if not the Brewers themselves."
Congratulations to UW-Parkside Selig Scholars Sierra West and Adam Voss!
In the photo, Sierra West stands with Brewers' first baseman Mat Gamel on the evening she and Adam Voss were recognized as Selig Scholarship winners.

Kevin Durant takes us all back with this new KD 6 pair that's got a peanut butter and jelly look going on. The upper goes light brown while the Swoosh goes all Smuckers on us, resulting in a combination that you probably won't see on feet for the man in any NBA games but one that you are quite likely to see on the feet of everyone else once they hit shelves.

James Franco and Ashley Benson parody Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez with 'Boyfriend' video
James Franco and Ashley Benson, who insist they are not a couple despite this playful holiday pic and being seen out on what look like dates, are up to some antics with their parody of Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend."
Franco is Bieber, with his shaggy hair and side-turned hat, while Benson dons a dark wig to play her "Spring Breakers" co-star Selena Gomez, who is Bieber's on-again, off-again girlfriend (the latest reports are "off again").
It's an interesting choice of targets for a parody -- reportedly, Benson got her part in "Spring Breakers" because of Selena, which is where she met Franco. But Benson also reportedly broke up with Selena's friend Ryan to start dating Franco. Intrigue.
If you like Franco's send-up, be sure to check out his "Hills" parody with buddy Mila Kunis.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 1 vote Best answer Gyro Ball, by far. Bronzong is slow, and is made for walling fast sweepers; so Gyro Ball will have high power. Flash Cannon is a lot less reliable, since Bronzong's Attack is higher than it's Special Attack. If you are looking for power, Gyro Ball.

Ammo shortages may affect local law enforcement
Posted: 3:42 PM Jan 18, 2013
Reporter: Jorge Lopez
Click to play video
News 12 6 o'clock / Friday, Jan. 18, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Recent shootings coupled with gun control fears have firearms flying off shelves and that's driving up the cost of guns and ammunition.That increase is putting a squeeze on law enforcement nationwide.
Many people have begun to take advantage of the right to bear arms since the shootings in Aurora, Colo., and Newtown, Conn. And as more folks buy guns, there's an increased demand for ammunition.
"Manufactures are having to play catch up getting ammo through the supply chain," said Buddy Lichty.
While civilians are stocking bullets, some law enforcement agencies are faced with shortages.
"A lot of agencies around here, they may have a lot of shortages but not us," said Lt. Calvin Chew of Richmond County Sheriff's office.
Chew says one reason they haven't faced this issue yet is because they've kept track of their bullet inventory.
"Making sure that we have enough for our officers for training, as well as for on duty," Chew said.
Chew says that each deputy has at least five bullets on their person every day and that people in Richmond County don't need to worry about them running out.
"I've spoken with our people and we have enough to last us for a good bit," Chew said.
Lichty says, despite the shortage some local enforcement is facing, you can still get bullets.
There is ammunition out there. However, there are certain calibers that are very hard to get right now.
"22 long rifle is one. The AR 15 platform, the 223 and 556 are very difficult to find," Licthy said.
Chew says keeping ammo stock on reserve for law enforcement is important.
"In our line of work, we can't be short. We have to have ammo to work," Chew said.

A strong storm system and trailing cold front will move through the central and southern high plains Tuesday, drawing up warm, moist air from the south. Storms are expected to develop from northern Kansas in the afternoon, quickly expanding south through southern KS and Oklahoma and re-develop to the east toward evening, entering western Missouri. Strong damaging winds and isolated large hail are the primary threats with the storms as they move into areas west of HWY 63 Tuesday night but isolated, weak tornadoes can't be ruled out, especially in areas near or west of HWY 65. Storms are expected to weaken as they move east with a diminishing severe threat into the early morning hours Wednesday.
A few showers and t-storms will be ongoing in the morning hours Wednesday as the cold front slowly progresses east to near HWY 63. Storms are expected to increase in coverage and strength during the afternoon as the air becomes more unstable due to daytime heating and lower pressure aloft, increasing the severe risk for areas near and east of HWY 54. Damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will be possible as the line of storms moves into eastern Missouri.
Heavy rain is likely with the strongest storms and localized flooding is possible. Highest rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches are expected near and east of HWY 54 with lower amounts west.
Spring storms Tuesday night- Wednesday
Possible strong to severe storms

Two-time Grammy®-winning recording artist, LL COOL J featuring DJ Z-Trip, will headline the "Kings Of The Mic" Tour, which will prove to be this summer's ultimate Hip-Hop music experience. Joined by legendary artists Ice Cube, Public Enemy and De La Soul, the Tour will wrap-up in Los Angeles, at The Greek Theatre.
This tour underscores what true authentic Hip-Hop music is based on, with these groundbreaking artists bringing their music to fans across generations.
The tour will come on the heels of the release of LL's 14th new studio album, Authentic, on April 30, 2013 on 429 Records/The Savoy Label Group. The multi-platinum artist returned to the studio and kicked the volume up to create a powerful album that came from his true passion for music and would speak to his fans. Celebrating his 30th year in music, Authentic features the iconic rapper in his element. The Album is anchored by LL's expressive attitude where his sensitive side is as present as his slicing lyrical switchblades. Authentic comes to life with crazy club jams, tender tracks, personal tributes, and hard-hitting commentary addressing the current hip-hop climate.
First introduced to the world in 1984 as a Def Jam Records flagship artist, LL is the first rap artist to amass ten consecutive platinum-plus selling albums. The multi-platinum artist and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee is currently tied for third place for most Billboard chart debuts by a rapper. For three decades, LL has continued to influence hip-hop with rap ballads that captivate generations of audiences. Since then, the veteran rapper has evolved his scope of work across entertainment appearing in numerous television and film roles, among many other projects. LL currently stars on one of the consistently highest rated shows on television, the CBS hit primetime drama series, "NCIS: LOS ANGELES." His performance on the show has garnered him a NAACP Image Award for "Outstanding Male Actor in a Drama Series" three years in a row (2011 - 2013).
As much as technology, business and society have changed since the 1980s, one thing has remained constant: Ice Cube has been a premier cultural watchdog, astutely commenting on, examining and detailing the breadth of the American experience in uncompromising terms with an unflinching honesty and a sobering perspective, as well as a deft comedic touch that has endeared him to several generations of fans. After penning the most memorable lyrics on N.W.A's groundbreaking songs, including "Straight Outta Compton," Ice Cube left the group at the peak of its popularity – a move that led him to one of the most successful careers in music history. As a solo recording artist, Ice Cube has sold more than 10 million albums while remaining one of rap's most respected and influential artists. In addition to a successful solo career in music, Ice Cube is also an accomplished as writer, director, actor and producer in cinema who's credits include 'Boyz In The Hood,' the 'Friday,' 'Barbershop' and 'Are We There Yet' franchises, and most recently '21 Jump Street.' Cube is gearing up for several film releases this year as well as his 10th solo album release, 'Everythang's Corrupt.'
In early 2012, Public Enemy kicked off their 25th anniversary by staging a free concert in downtown Los Angeles' notorious Skid Row. Just a few blocks away at the Grammy Museum, a special exhibit was being installed in their honor. No other group could possibly mark a career milestone quite like this. Every bit as compelling as their startling first single, "Public Enemy #1," when it was released in 1987, Public Enemy have never stopped urging to fight the power as their artistry meets with unwavering critical acclaim and legions of worldwide fans. Fans that drove their single, "Harder Than You Think," into the UK's Top 5 last summer and prompted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to induct the group in 2013 - their first year of eligibility.
De La Soul is an American hip hop trio best known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap and alternative hip hop subgenres. With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, has been called "a hip hop masterpiece." It is the band's biggest commercial success to date, with their subsequent albums selling progressively less, despite receiving high praise from critics. A measure of 3 Feet High and Rising's cross-over appeal was the fact that it was voted Album of the Year by NME, a title better known for its taste in guitar-based music. In 2006, the group won a Grammy for their collaboration with Gorillaz on the single "Feel Good Inc."

WASHINGTON — Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., was answering a reporter's queries about Chuck Hagel's nomination as defense secretary when he broke out a question of his own.
What are the Nebraska senators going to do?
With Senate Democrats steadily lining up behind Hagel ahead of his confirmation hearing Thursday, the focus shifts to which — if any — Senate Republicans will support the former GOP senator's nomination.
Two of the most closely watched will be Sens. Deb Fischer and Mike Johanns, each of whom has publicly withheld judgment on the pick.
Hagel has secured the backing of key Democrats such as Charles Schumer of New York and Barbara Boxer of California. He added several more after a charm offensive across Capitol Hill last week, including Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey. About a dozen Democrats now publicly back Hagel, and none have said they will oppose his nomination.
About a half dozen Republicans have said publicly they oppose Hagel, including Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee, which will hold the hearing.
All of which builds the pressure on Hagel's fellow Cornhuskers, who have many factors to weigh: Hagel's positions on a plethora of policy issues, the feelings of constituents back home, perhaps even whether a Hagel-led Pentagon would be good for the future of Offutt Air Force Base.
Fischer and Johanns met separately with Hagel last week. Fischer described her conversation with him as "frank." She said that she has some follow-up questions.
As a member of Armed Services, she will get a chance to question Hagel at the hearing.
Dozens of constituent calls to Fischer's office have offered a mix of support and opposition, although she said most expressed anti-Hagel sentiments.
Hagel endorsed Fischer's opponent last fall, Democrat Bob Kerrey, but she stressed that she's looking at the issues, not at personal or partisan politics.
Both Fischer and Johanns have expressed concerns about Hagel statements and votes — including some related to Israel and Iran that garnered criticism from pro-Israel groups.
But Johanns sounded more upbeat about Hagel last week, saying he felt good about their hourlong meeting.
"I felt he answered my questions and I'm anxious now to see the hearing. ... He is making progress," Johanns said.
Hagel and Johanns once were political allies. It was Hagel who stepped in to help Johanns win a nasty primary fight during his bid for governor.
Hagel's endorsement of Kerrey created some tension between the two, however, with Johanns suggesting at the time that Hagel was angling for a spot in the Obama administration.
One X factor in the nomination is whether having Hagel in charge would benefit Offutt Air Force Base, given the talk of coming defense budget cuts and the potential for closing or downsizing military bases.
Fischer and Johanns both said they hadn't felt an aggressive pro-Hagel push from Nebraska's business community on that basis and downplayed the role it would play in their own decisions.
"Sen. Johanns and I are well positioned to look after the needs of Offutt," Fischer said.
Ned Holmes, senior military liaison for the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, noted that Hagel's name never came up during a recent meeting of local defense contractors and representatives from Nebraska's congressional delegation.
"Hopefully (the delegation) will be able to interact with Hagel if he's confirmed and it'll be a team effort for the state, but with the budget cuts for defense, it's going to be tough for him," Holmes said.
While there may have been no concerted effort on Hagel's behalf, Jamie Karl, vice president of public affairs for the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the state's business community is well aware of Offutt's role in the economy and of concerns about budget cuts.
Defense contracting has grown as a sector of the Omaha-area economy, Karl said, with big defense companies such as Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman establishing a local presence.
"Among the business community — especially those who are in defense contracting and involved with the Offutt community — I think there is a general sense of confidence that Sen. Hagel certainly understands the situation at Offutt and knows the operations of Offutt like the back of his hand," Karl said. "The fact that he understands the importance of the missions carried out by the personnel at Offutt, I think that bodes well for Nebraska."
Karl worked for Hagel's Senate office as a deputy press secretary from 1999 to 2000 and as an energy and agricultural policy aide from 2001 to 2003.
Not that long ago, Hagel was immensely popular in Nebraska, winning re-election to the Senate in 2002 with more than 83 percent of the vote.
Over the course of his second term, however, Hagel upset many Republicans with his criticisms of President George W. Bush's handling of the Iraq War, his decision not to support John McCain's 2008 presidential run and his stinging comments questioning vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Political observers say the mixed feelings of Nebraska Republicans toward Hagel afford Fischer and Johanns the freedom to follow their instincts on the confirmation vote.
"I don't see a lot of down side to opposing him, and I don't see a lot of down side to supporting him," said Jennifer Duffy of the Cook Political Report.
John Hibbing, a political science professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, noted the lack of a broad spectrum of Nebraskans supporting Hagel. He suggested Fischer and Johanns could wait and take their cues from colleagues as the nomination shapes up along fairly partisan lines.
"I think they're probably not going to buck the trend unless they see some other people doing it," Hibbing said.

DOE Lab Cooks Up Rare Earth Recycling With Molten Metals
Jason Mick

New process could help combat rare Earth resource shortage
Money and global conflict have long been the core drivers of innovation.
I. What is Old, is New Again
So with rare earth metal prices at an all time high, and U.S. buyers irked by the fact that rare earth metals
are controlled
, the pressure to find alternatives or to reuse existing stocks is extreme.
That backdrop has driven the
U.S. Department of Energy
's (DOE)
Ames Laboratory
-- a research institution tied to the
Iowa State University
to refine
a process it developed in the 1990s, repurposing it for molten rare earth metal recycling.
The process looks to extract neodymium, which is one of the most commonly used rare earth metals. Only 20,000 tons of neodymium is produced per year, while demand is around 22,350 tons [
]. The scarce resource is primarily used in powerful magnets that are used to regenerate power in
hybrid electric vehicles
or to generate power in wind turbines.

Prices on neodymium have relaxed slightly, but still sit at around $150 USD/kg [
]. And a greater looming problem is that prospecting only estimates global reserves of the resource to be at around 8 million tons [
The original Ames Lab project in the 1990s merely looked to extract neodymium from neodymium-iron-boron magnet scrap, using liquid magnesium. The idea was that the neodymium would strengthen the resulting alloy. At the time rare earth prices were low, so this was the most attractive use of the scrap method.

But with rare earth prices soaring, Ames Lab researchers began to think about repurposing the method to extract the neodymium. The crucial question was whether the resulting yields would retain the same attractive magnetic properties as the original magnets.
II. Molten Extraction
Lead researcher
Ryan Ott
worked with colleague
Larry Jones
, also of Ames Lab. Professor Ott describes the process, commenting, "We start with sintered, uncoated magnets that contain three rare earths: neodymium, praseodymium and dysprosium. Then we break up the magnets in an automated mortar and pestle until the pieces are 2-4 millimeters long."
The magnet scraps go in a mesh screen box within a steel crucible and magnesium chunks are added. Heated by radio waves, the magnesium in the vessel is melted, while the magnet scraps remain solid. Magnesium has a relatively low melting point of 923 K, 650 °C (Neodymium's melting point is 1297 K, 1024 °C).
The magic is that the rare earths then diffuse out of the magnet scraps. Professor Ott describes, "The iron and boron that made up the original magnet are left behind."
The rare earth metals are extracted via diffusion into molten magnesium.
[Image Source: Ames Lab]
The magnesium + rare earths combination is cast into an ingot and cooled. Finally, the magnesium is boiled off, leaving behind only the neodymium, praseodymium and dysprosium in a smaller ingot of pure rare earths.
Early tests show the material properties of the extracted metals compare "favorably" with those of unprocessed materials. The next step will be to refine the extraction process and demonstrate it on a large industrial scale.
Comments Professor Ott, "We're continuing to identify the ideal processing conditions. We want to help bridge the gap between the fundamental science and using this science in manufacturing. And Ames Lab can process big enough amounts of material to show that our rare-earth recycling process works on a large scale."
The research is being funded by an agreement with the
Korea Institute of Industrial Technology
(KIIT). South Korea, like the U.S., is a top electronics manufacturer and uses a lot of rare earths, so the research should prove mutually beneficial.
It's possible similar molten magnesium extraction methods could be applied to other rare earth alloys to recycle them. If the process could be perfected it could mean that the electronics, automotive, and green power industries could have a modest supply of rare earth metals for millennia to come.

RE: There is no rare earths shortage in the US
Does Rick Santorum operate anywhere near the top of the party? No. Is he even still in office? No. Was he even popular with the rank and file? No, Newt Gingrich probably had the most excitement amongst rank and file party activists.
As for Romney, he had a hard time getting the religious vote exactly because nobody believes in our party what you're saying, and in a different post you'd probably say the same thing if you were on a slightly different position in an argument, 'cause all you do is troll.
Heck, I remember the tea party even endorsing a gay sheriff, and if you looked at them closely at all you'd see they specifically try to weed out those ultra-religious and racist types.
Don't think you tried to deny Pelosi, Reid and Obama have been opposed to any sort of energy solution that could work, because their record is what it is, and they are in fact your party leaders, along with that Shultz lady, who even Anderson Cooper on CNN has called out as a lying dirtbag.
So again, nice try, but the facts are what they are, even if you try to extrapolate a couple incidents on the fringe of a party and paint the whole party in the same color. If you spent half the time trying to run the anti-human Marxists out of your own party as you do trolling we'd all be better off.
"What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders." -- Michael Dell, after being asked what to do with Apple Computer in 1997

Video: Lupe Fiasco – "Around My Way [Freedom Ain't Free]"
June 29th, 2012
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/S77zUWqawag" width="550" height="445" allowfullscreen="true" fvars="fs=1" /]
A dreadlocked Lupe Fiasco stars in the video for the all too real new tune, "Around My Way [Freedom Ain't Free]." In his typical memorable flow, Lupe gets down amidst the city with lyrics hitting on the questionable ins and outs of daily living pushed up against the notion of the American Dream.

'Dallas' star Larry Hagman dies at 81
J.R. Ewing was a business cheat, faithless husband and bottomless well of corruption. Yet with his sparkling grin, Larry Hagman masterfully created the charmingly loathsome oil baron — and coaxed forth a Texas-size gusher of ratings — on television's long-running and hugely successful nighttime soap, "Dallas."By: Lynn Elber, Associated Press, INFORUM

Topic: Richard III
What is the important development in Act IV of William Shakespeare's Richard III and how does it change the characters?
1 Answer | add yours
In Act IV of William Shakespeare`s Richard III, Richard has finally achieved his goal of becoming king, and this gives him more power, and thus more scope for acting openly to crush his rivals rather than working exclusively covertly. Richard has also become over-confident at this point, e.g. first trying to use Buckingham for killing the princes and then denying him an earldom. Richard`s malice has become so apparent that he is even denounced by his own mother, the old Duchess of York. Richard has also alienated Lord Stanley. The main change that happens to Richard is that he becomes less cautious, sowing the seeds of his own downfall, and in other characters, that even previous allies can no longer give him the benefit of the doubt and start to work against him.

Strange but true. If you want to shoot ducks, federal law requires you to use nontoxic ammunition, and you cannot use a gun that holds more than three bullets. Sounds like those sitting ducks are in less danger than people.
