Dedicated fishermen
The hillsides are blanketed with snow and ice covers many of the reservoirs on Grand Mesa, but outdoor enthusiasts eager to get a jump on the mosquitoes spent Memorial Day fishing, barbecuing and getting their cabins ready for the summer. More snow will have to melt before the campgrounds can be opened.

Home Fires Involving Heating Equipment
NFPA Journal® By John R. Hall, Jr.
In 2008, heating equipment was involved in an estimated 66,100 reported U.S. home structure fires, with associated losses of 480 civilian deaths, 1,660 civilian injuries, and $1.1 billion in direct property damage. "Homes" refers to one- and two-family homes, including manufactured homes, and apartments, including townhouses.
The following are overviews of recent reports issued by the Fire Analysis and Research Division of NFPA. The complete text of these and many other reports are available at www.nfpa.org/firereports.
NFPA REPORTS Get the "Home Fires Involving Heating Equipment" report Get the "U.S. Experience with Sprinklers and Other Automatic Fire Extinguishing Equipment" report Get the "Smoking-Material Fire Problem" report Additional NFPA fire reports
The estimated home heating fire total was 0.5 percent lower than it was in 2007 and 72 percent lower than it was in 1980.
Associated deaths were down 17 percent from 2007 and 53 percent from 1980. Associated civilian injuries were down by 10 percent compared to 2007 and by 53 percent compared to1980. Direct property damage adjusted for inflation was up by 79 percent from the record low in 2007 but down by 46 percent from 1980. Overall, these incidents accounted for 17 percent of all reported home fires, 17 percent of home fire deaths, 13 percent of home civilian injuries, and 13 percent of the direct property damage resulting from home fires.
Fixed and portable space heaters, excluding fireplaces, chimneys, and chimney connectors but including wood stoves, accounted for 32 percent of reported 2004–2008 U.S. home heating fires; 82 percent of associated civilian deaths; 64 percent of associated civilian injuries; and 51 percent of associated direct property damage.
A conservative best estimate of creosote fires would combine failure-to-clean fires confined to the chimney or flue or would involve solid-fueled space heaters, fireplaces, chimneys, and chimney connectors. This produces estimates of 15,200 reported creosote fires, or 23 percent of all home heating fires, per year with associated losses of 4 civilian deaths, 17 civilian injuries, and $33 million in direct property damage per year.
The leading factors contributing to ignition in home heating equipment fires were failure to clean, heat sources too close to combustibles, and unclassified mechanical failure or malfunction. Heat sources too close to combustibles accounted for 52 percent of associated deaths.
The leading items first ignited for such fires were unclassified items, flammable or combustible gases or liquids, structural members or framing, and unclassified organic materials. Comparisons of fuel or power options in central heating equipment do not show any types to be clearly better or worse for all types of loss.
Space heaters result in far more fires and losses than central heating devices and present higher risks relative to use. Among central heating equipment, gas-fueled units show a higher rate of civilian fire deaths per user household. However, low usage of some equipment means that the rankings could change or reverse with changes of only a few deaths a year in the average death tolls for each fuel or power type.
Liquid-fueled units present the highest risk of fires and property damage, while electric-powered units have the highest risk of civilian injuries.
Among space heating equipment, portable and fixed electric-powered devices have very different levels of risk. Portable electric, liquid-fueled, and solid-fueled devices all present similar risks on all measures, while risks for fixed electric and gas-fueled devices are usually lower.
Water heaters show very large differences, with gas-fueled equipment showing higher rates per million population than electric-powered equipment for fires at 88 versus 48; civilian fire deaths at 0.7 versus 0.1; civilian fire injuries at 4.8 versus 0.9; and direct property damage at $1.8 versus $0.4.
Thirty-five percent of home heating fires were reported as confined to chimney or flue, and another 23 percent as confined to fuel burner or boiler.
Home heating fires peak mid-morning and mid-evening. They are less common between 1 to 6 a.m. This could reflect the practice of turning down the heat overnight and relying less on heating equipment in the middle of the day, when occupants are least likely to be at home. It also reflects the fact that sleeping occupants are not interacting with the equipment, which is how fires begin.
Gas-fueled heating devices, particularly space heaters, pose a higher risk of death due to non-fire carbon monoxide poisoning, accounting for 65 of 74 deaths per year involving carbon monoxide poisoning by home heating equipment in 2002–2006. In 1998, 2000, 2001, and 2003, there were also 2.5 electrocution deaths per year involving electric water heaters and 1.8 electrocution deaths per year involving electric furnaces. Heating equipment accounted for 58,660 injuries, not limited to fire or burns, reported to hospital emergency rooms in 2009.
U.S. Experience with Sprinklers and Other Automatic Fire Extinguishing Equipment
By John R. Hall, Jr.
Automatic sprinklers are highly effective and reliable elements of total system designs for fire protection in buildings. Sprinklers operated in 91 percent of all reported structure fires large enough to activate sprinklers, excluding buildings under construction and buildings without sprinklers in the fire area. When sprinklers operate, they are effective 96 percent of the time, resulting in a combined performance of operating effectively in 87 percent of all reported fires where sprinklers were present in the fire area and the fire was large enough to activate them.
The combined performance for wet-pipe sprinklers is 88 percent, while the combined performance for dry-pipe sprinklers is only 74 percent. By comparison, the combined performance for dry chemical systems is 42 percent. In homes, including apartments, wet-pipe sprinklers operated effectively 92 percent of the time.
These statistics exclude buildings under construction and cases of failure or ineffectiveness due to a lack of sprinklers in the fire area and, after some recoding, between failure and ineffectiveness based on reasons given.
When wet-pipe sprinklers are present in structures that are not under construction and excluding failure or ineffectiveness due to of a lack of sprinklers in the fire area, the death rate per 1,000 reported home structure fires is 83 percent lower and the rate of property damage per reported fire is lower by 34 to 77 percent for most properties. In homes, including apartments, wet-pipe sprinklers were associated with a 71 percent lower average loss per fire.
When sprinklers of any type are present in structures that are not under construction and excluding cases of failure or ineffectiveness because of a lack of sprinklers in the fire area, flame damage in 95 percent of reported structure fires is confined to the room of origin, compared to 73 percent when no automatic extinguishing equipment is present.
Of reported 2004–2008 structure fires in health-care properties, an estimated 57 percent showed sprinklers present, with higher percentages for hospitals and nursing homes, and a much lower percentage for clinics and doctor's offices.
Sprinklers were also reported as present in half or more of all reported fires in laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and theaters. In every other property, more than half of all reported fires had no sprinklers.
The few surveys that have been done of sprinkler presence in general have found that, in most property groups, the percentage of buildings with sprinklers is much higher than the percentage of reported fires with sprinklers present.
Sprinklers apparently are still rare in many places where people are most exposed to fire, including educational properties, offices, most stores, and homes, where most fire deaths occur. There is considerable potential for expanded use of sprinklers to reduce the loss of life and property to fire.
When sprinklers fail to operate, the reason most often given was shutoff of the system before fire began. Other leading reasons were manual intervention that defeated the system, lack of maintenance, and inappropriate system for the type of fire. Only 5 percent of sprinkler failures were attributed to component damage.
When sprinklers operate but are ineffective, the reason usually had to do with an insufficiency of water applied to the fire, either because water did not reach the fire, as happened in 44 percent of cases, or because not enough water was released, as happened in 27 percent of cases. Other leading reasons were system component damage, lack of maintenance, manual intervention that defeated the system, and inappropriate system for the type of fire.
When people die in spite of the operation of wet-pipe sprinklers, they often had special vulnerabilities that are less often found with fatalities of home fires in general. For example, 90 percent were located in the area of fire origin, where they could have suffered fatal injuries before sprinkler activation, compared to 52 percent of fatalities in fires in which no automatic extinguishing equipment was present.
In addition, the clothing of 25 percent of fatalities in home fires in which wet-pipe sprinklers operated ignited, compared to 8 percent of fatalities when no automatic extinguishing equipment was present. Sixty-five percent of fatalities in home fires in which wet-pipe sprinklers operated were 65 or older, compared to 28 percent when no automatic extinguishing equipment was present. And 34 percent of fatalities in home fires in which wet-pipe sprinklers operated returned to the fire after escaping, were unable to act, or acted irrationally, compared to 20 percent of fatalities when no automatic extinguishing equipment was present.
Sprinkler systems are designed to activate early in a fire but not to activate in a nonfire situation. Each sprinkler reacts only to the fire conditions in its area. Water release in a fire is generally much less than would occur if the fire department had to suppress the fire, because later action means more fire, which means more water is needed.
The Smoking-Material Fire Problem
In 2008, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 114,800 smoking-material fires in the United States, down from 140,700 in 2007. These fires resulted in an estimated 680 civilian deaths, 1,520 civilian injuries, and $737 million in direct property damage. Deaths and injuries were down from the year before. In 2008, an estimated 18,400 smoking-material home fires caused 620 civilian deaths, or 23 percent of all home structure fire deaths; 1,250 civilian injuries; and $512 million in property damage.
"Smoking materials" are lighted tobacco products, not lighting implements such as matches and lighters. Smoking materials are identified under heat source, and estimates include a share of fires coded as heat source unknown or as unknown between smoking material and open flames.
The long-term trend in smoking-material fires has been down, by 66 percent from 1980 to 2008, helped by the decline in smoking and by the effect of standards and regulations that have made mattresses and upholstered furniture more resistant to cigarette ignition.
A simple projection linking the percentage decline in fires or fire deaths to the percentage of smokers covered would suggest that when the fire-safe cigarette law is fully effective across the United States in late 2012, the reduction in fires should reach 50 to 70 percent and the reduction in fire deaths should reach 56 to 77 percent, both relative to levels in 2003, the last year before the fire-safe cigarette law was effective in any state.
Mattresses and bedding, upholstered furniture, and trash are the items most commonly ignited in smoking-material home fires. Excluding trash, these items also account for most associated fire deaths. Roughly equal shares of civilian deaths due to smoking-material fires involved fires that started in living rooms, family rooms, and dens, which accounted for 33 percent, as in bedrooms, which accounted for 36 percent.
One out of four fatalities in smoking-material fires is not the smoker whose cigarette started the fire.
The risk of dying in a home structure fire caused by smoking materials rises with age. Two out of five, or 39 percent of, victims of fatal home smoking-material fires were 65 or older, compared to their 12 percent share of the population. Adults age 65 and over are less likely to smoke than younger adults. Therefore, their high rates of smoking-material fire deaths per million people are even more noteworthy.
Canada and all U.S. states have passed laws or other requirements that all cigarettes sold must be "fire safe"—that is, have sharply reduced ignition strength, as determined by ASTM Standard E2187-04.
The first state to adopt a fire-safe cigarette requirement was New York, which passed the law at the end of 2003 and used 2004 to implement it, giving wholesalers and retailers time to clear their inventories of older, noncompliant cigarettes.
Smoking material fire deaths averaged 43 per year in 2000–2002, the last three years before action began on the bill, and averaged 25 per year in 2006–2008, the three years after any lingering transitional effects. This implies a 41 percent reduction. If all four years 2005–2008 after the official implementation period are analyzed, the average was 27 deaths per year, and the reduction was 37 percent.
At the beginning of 2008, eight states had reached the effective date for their fire-safe cigarette law. By the end of 2008, another 10 states reached their effective dates. If weights are applied to reflect the fraction of the year when each state's law was effective, the results indicate that, on average in 2008, 29 percent of U.S. smokers were in states with the laws in effect. If one allows for a three-month period to sell off inventories of cigarettes made before the effective date, the average drops to 25 percent. If a six-month period is used, the average drops to 21 percent.

iShares Silver Trust (SLV) has had a huge investment influx as of late and 2013 American eagle coins are bought out. Why? There still is some fear from the debt ceiling but I believe it may be a combination of two things. We have the movement of the gold bullion to Germany and we have the new industrial and manufacturing reports giving us better pictures of the economy.
The Federal Reserve reported that in December industrial production and capacity utilization increased. It rose .26% from a month earlier and 2.25% from a year ago. Both production levels are still below 2007 levels and continue to support a slow (very slow) recovery taking place. Rebounds in housing, the auto industry and business investment combined with stabilization in global growth will probably support gains in manufacturing into this year. SilverPrices.com Editorial team did a nice article last year about silver's industrial demand when they wrote:
"Industrial processes or appliances such as solar panels, batteries of cell phones, laptops require silver as a raw material. Such technologies that have a strong future make silver more important and needed than ever. In addition to the large scale industries that require silver, our day-to-day life also needs silver as our refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and water purifiers use silver as a sanitizer. According to the experts of the silver industry, more and more industries such as hospitals and big organizations are now switching to silver-based filtration systems rather than using chlorine."
As a precious metal, it may not get as much attention as gold, but as a combination precious metal and multifaceted industrially used metal, it rises in value as manufacturing increases.
What Are Industrial Commodities?
These are bulk goods that can be traded within an industrial market. Some common types of industrial commodities include: metal ore, fossil fuels, textiles, and foodstuffs. The trading of industrial commodities is central to the manufacture and availability of goods. Most industrial commodities are goods that are similar or identical regardless of the source; for instance, copper ore that is considered a commodity will have identical chemical and metallurgic properties, regardless of the source and method of extraction. These commodities rise in value as manufacturing increases.
As for Germany…
It will take a couple years to ship 647 tons of gold from New York and France to Frankfurt. Why are they doing this? It will bring more gold home creating a better sense of stability. Germany recently has been gripped by the sort of gold paranoia that also affects some Americans. But Germany's history of hyperinflation, world wars, has the nation a little on edge sometimes and bringing the gold home helps ease the population about a stable government. Do they have gold to create a stable government currency? It uncertain times, these answers bring some certainty to the situation. And I believe it is this uncertainty that has helps suddenly lift silver.
Technically Speaking
There is no doubt that silver is in a bearish peak and valley pattern. It started the latter half of September and looks like it continued to this day. The recent lows have continued lower; in fact the last low signaled an over sold position in the RSI indicator. I am not sure if the recent high is done though, and if not, it may signify a breakout. The MACD MAs are still moving up and spreading while the RSI looks like it will also continue to move up. It is at the top of the Bollinger band, but it could continue higher reaching the next resistance level. So it looks like it is not finished moving up but I am not sure that means the stock is done moving down.
The Options Play
I believe silver has enough momentum to continue moving up. The stock is presently trading at 30.98.
- Buy the March 2013 call with a strike of '31' (priced at $1.09)
- Sell the March 2013 call with a strike of '32' (priced at $0.67)
- Net Debit to Start: $0.42
- Maximum Profit: $0.58
- Maximum Risk: net debit
- Maximum Length of Play:
Reason behind the Trade
- Bullish momentum will continue so trade the trend
- Good economic news, if it continues, should keep the bullish momentum for a time

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Brewers' Yovani Gallardo takes the mound this afternoon
Phoenix -- Yovani Gallardo makes his first exhibition start of the spring this afternoon, as the Milwaukee Brewers host the Seattle Mariners at Maryvale Baseball Park.
Gallardo wasn't sharp in his first game action of the spring last Friday, giving up home runs to Logan Schafer and Donnie Murphy in a two inning stint, so it'll be interesting to see how he bounces back today.
Also, Hunter Morris gets another start at designated hitter as he tries to break out of an 0-for-9 start.

Any word on Braun's suspension?
I think it's fair to assume that the JS, as well as everyone in the national media, will report any news the moment it happens. It would be a pretty big deal, even nationally. I don't think Tom or Todd will wait until someone asks in a blog post, before telling us :)
No word on a Braun suspension is good words.BUd is looking into it so it could take some time. I am sure the trouble with Bosch is ''nothing'' of substance.

School Tests Today
They're Not Just True or False Anymore
Remember cramming for your 10th-grade midterm on World War I? You probably went over and over notes of dates and famous leaders, committing them to memory: What was the date that the U.S. entered the war? Who was the President at the time? These questions test your powers of memory, and facts of this kind are most often tested in schools by multiple choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank exams.
While we may not remember the answers to every question, most of us who learned this way feel a sense of commitment to learning about our culture and history. We worry when national polls report that over half of the country's graduates can't give the dates of the Civil War within 50 years.
Woodrow Wilson Who?
Some education critics suggest that memorization is a waste of time since factual information is readily available via computer. They feel that teaching students to problem solve and work in teams should be the mission of today's schools. On the other hand, the potential consequences of the famous phrase, "Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it" worries and angers people who support traditional studies and tests.
Most educational researchers feel that a balance of goals is critical for today's schools. In other words, higher-order thinking skills, such as analysis and problem solving, depend on a base of knowledge that's at the heart of traditional studies. The combination of learning information and applying it to new, real-life situations is what makes the knowledge valuable.
So What's New?
Performance assessments are growing in popularity. These ask a student to apply traditional learning to a real-life situation, such as applying facts learned in a science class about acid and alkaline to determine whether the pH level in a school yard soil sample is appropriate for growing various shrubs. Here the students use their knowledge of facts to problem solve. Small groups often work together, and exhibitions, oral presentations, and interviews may be part of the assessment. In this example, a final portion of the test might require the students to plant and tend the shrubs.
Assessing the New Assessments
When your children bring home lengthy projects to do, don't be afraid to ask teachers about the value of the assignments. Useful assessments help your child understand more about the subject being studied. Students should have to apply information they learned in class to another problem or task.

8 month old 27" iMac running WAY too hot, fans not spinning up
Why is it that I can't ever get a Mac to spin up fans as the load on the CPU goes up? My 8 month old, bought brand new, 27" i5 iMac has no fan spin up even under heavy load.
I've reset the SMC on this new iMac, have no 3rd party "fan control" software running at all, and yet the CPU fan sits there at 939 RPM (according to istat menus) while ffmpg is converting a video and has all 4 cores pegged at 391% and the CPU temp is up to 66 degrees celsius when sitting idle it's at 35-39 degrees or so. While yes, I could install 3rd party fan control software, why should I have to? Why shouldn't this iMac regulate it's fans right out of the box?

66° C is an acceptable temperature for a desktop i5 CPU, there is no need for the fans to spin faster.
My 2007 C2D Aluminium iMac's CPU can go up to 70° C or so, and the fans are still spinning at their base speed, but then again, it is a C2D and I do not have an aluminium back like the i5 and i7 iMacs, thus heats does not dissipate as good.

Second, I wanted to get some opinions to see if this is normal or not or just an issue with my one computer before contacting Apple directly. Third, why even respond to this if you're not helping? I mean, could you elaborate more about if I should contact Apple or not for technical help...sitting on a phone forever or waiting at a Genius Bar if this isn't a problem? If you're intent was just to complain that I'm "whining", then just move on.

Like other people have said, this is perfectly normal.
I think the fans will speed up once it hits 70°C. If you really want the fans to go faster, download smcFanControl. It's unlikely that it'll break your computer, but if you ever take it to the Apple Store you will need to uninstall it first otherwise the people there will refuse to help you. |

The fans of my Macbook Air spin up when the chips reach 100 degrees Celsius, so no need to worry. Unless you say that your iMac used to make more noise in the past.

Anyone ever added a guest to their LL package?
Most LL packages are for 2 people and I was wondering if anyone has ever added a guest to the package and how it worked.
A few of the packages that we won had 2 bedrooms so there was plenty of room for 1 or 2 more folks.
I have had friends ask if they could come with us on a few and always tell them the package is only for 2 so neve rtried to add anyone else on.Roam if you want to, roam around the world...........
Interesting...The 2 bedroom packages weren't for 4? For example, I was looking at Reunion Florida and the package was for 4 people. It would be interesting that they gave you a 2 bedroom for only 2 people. I think it would be up to the property. Interesting.....

No, I haven't had the need to add another individual to any of my packages. However, I have called a concierge, more than once, to ask them to intercede on my behalf in changes (one more day or one less day) to packages in order to have the packages match my schedule.
I have asked them to secure adjustments in packages where, I believe I might not have enjoyed the same results acting as an individual.
I believe in getting a return on my $40 fee.
mountie, I think the question and subject of this thread is whether anyone has every added a guest.
I know I have never asked to add another guest to a package.- Ω -

Are they willing to share the expenses or or they looking for a free ride?
Maybe it is just the way I look at things, but if someone wanted to come along on a trip I had purchase, I would suggest they buy their own package.
They offered to pay a portion so it was not a big deal.
A few times, I would have liked to ask my niece to come along - I guess I could have asked the concierge but I am guessing they would have told me to contact the hotel.
For my trip to Jicaro in March to Nicaragua they did ask if it was only the 2 of us or if we were bringing someone else since the room can hold additional people - I told them no - should have asked what the their policy would have beenRoam if you want to, roam around the world...........

Ethical Origin Emeralds
Brilliant Earth offers emeralds of exquisite color and impeccable origin in our broad collection of fine jewelry from ethical sources. Our emeralds come from Colombia, where a unique locale and unusual chemistry create near perfect conditions for intensely green emeralds with ideal tone and saturation. Unlike emeralds from Brazil or Africa, Colombian emeralds shine deeply green in every light with no smoky overtones. The rarity of perfect color in emeralds makes these ethical origin emeralds all the more captivating. Our ethical origin emeralds are perfectly suited to many special occasions.
Our Unique Colored Gemstone Collection contains an extensive selection of richly hued emeralds, which can be purchased loose or set into one of our engagement ring settings. We also offer a few stunning emerald designs, including our Three Stone Diamond and Emerald Ring and our Emerald Halo Diamond Pendant.
Our ethical origin emeralds are unearthed in the remote Andes Mountains of Colombia where emeralds have been harvested for hundreds of years. The surrounding area remains lush and unaffected by the traditional low impact mining practices of the region. No harsh chemicals are used to mine the emeralds, and debris is confined to pure sediment and rock. The area is isolated from the violence and corruption of the drug trade and organized crime that plagues other parts of Colombia.
Our emeralds are imported by a gemologist who has turned his abiding passion for Colombian emeralds into a vocation. By developing lasting personal relationships with mines in the Muzo mine region of Colombia, our partner has emerged as a specialized source of the finest Colombian emeralds. He strives to ensure that the mine workers who supply our Colombian emeralds are employed under fair and profitable labor practices. Each employee gets room and board, as well as a share of 10 percent of the profits from production.
For over fifteen years, our partner has not only had a dedication to the finest Colombian emeralds, but also a long-standing commitment to community development in Colombia and the United States. He has funded a number of nonprofit organizations operating in Colombia and the United States that help at-risk youth and bolster support for the arts. His recent efforts have also led to long-term improvements in the lives of small scale emerald miners in Colombia. Since 2005, he has been working with organizations including Communities and Small Scale Mining, the World Bank, and the National Federation of Colombian Emeralds to develop certification standards for fair trade emeralds.
Brilliant Earth's ethical origin emeralds are verified to be sourced under strict environmental protection and fair trade labor practices. We track each of our natural gemstones from the moment they are mined to their final delivery in order to provide genuine, high-quality ethically sourced emeralds. All of our emerald rings and other fine jewelry pieces come with a Certificate of Origin that guarantees their ethical origin.
Our Colombian emeralds are verified to be sourced considering environmental responsibility and fair labor practices.

Two teams of scientists using the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, announced in Geneva this morning that they have detected a new subatomic particle that bears the hallmarks of the elusive and highly sought after Higgs boson. In layman's terms, the Higgs is referred to as the "God Particle" because the field it produces gives atoms their mass. Were it not for the Higgs, the world we know would be completely different — there would be no chemistry, no architecture, no us.

Forty-four soldiers and Marines in Afghanistan are celebrating this Fourth of July as American citizens for the first time after their naturalization ceremony at Kandahar Air Field.
As the morning sun beat down on the desert base last Friday, hundreds gathered inside the air-conditioned assembly hall for the ceremony. American flags lined the walls, patriotic music played, and smiles were everywhere.

The Catholic Church is drawing a line in the sand.
Perceiving its core beliefs to be under threat from popular culture, the White House and even Catholics themselves, the Vatican and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are pushing back.
In recent months, the church leadership has been cracking down on liberal theologians, disciplining nuns and emphasizing a more orthodox theology.

Most dog lovers will insist a canine friend makes for a happier home. A number of studies back that up, too, touting the health benefits of four-legged companions.
But there's new evidence that dogs can make for a better workplace as well, making employees happier and more productive.

A very small percentage of Americans are now serving in the military — fewer than 1 percent. Some are looking for direction. Others are inspired by a sense of patriotism or by a family member who served in an earlier war. On this Independence Day, we continue with an occasional series, Those Who Serve, a look at the men and women wearing their country's uniform during a time of war.
Capt. Jared Larpenteur is from Cajun Country in Louisiana. His family never expected he'd make the military his career.

Twenty-four years ago, Morning Edition launched what has become an Independence Day tradition: hosts, reporters, newscasters and commentators reading the Declaration of Independence.
It was 236 years ago this Wednesday that church bells rang out over Philadelphia, as the Continental Congress adopted Thomas Jefferson's draft of the Declaration of Independence.
Below is the original text of the Declaration, alongside photos of the NPR staff members and contributors who performed the reading.

In the days since the Supreme Court's historic health care ruling, there has been a good deal of speculation about whether Chief Justice John Roberts changed his mind in the course of deliberations, deciding late in the game to uphold the constitutionality of most of the law.
Even before the decision was announced, conservative writers railed that liberals and the so-called mainstream media were trying to intimidate the chief justice.

At first blush, it seems like a man-bites-dog story: a Republican governor vetoing voter ID legislation decried as voter suppression by Democratic critics of the bills.
But when you consider that the chief executive who wielded the veto pen Tuesday was Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan, the news becomes somewhat less surprising.

By Philip Grecian. Based on the motion picture A Christmas Story, written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown and Bob Clark.
"You'll shoot your eye out!" All your favorite elements from the beloved 1983 film are included in this stage version of the story about a nine-year-old boy growing up in Holoman, Indiana in the mid 1940s. Already a holiday classic, Jean Shepherd's memoirs follow Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a "Genuine Red Ryder 200 Shot, Carbine Action Range Model Air Rifle" under the Christmas tree.

My IPhone 5 has an Otterbox Defender case. Will this dock with this model?
- Asked by Joyce A C from Houston
- 30-Jul-2013
Best Answer:
I don't know how thick the Otterbox Defender case but I'm guessing like most cases, it adds on quite I don't know how thick the Otterbox Defender case but I'm guessing like most cases, it adds on quite a few mm which renders the 8-pin Lightning dock connector useless as it is so small and won't be able to get a good connection.
I bought the iPL10 with the same thought in mind - my iPhone has quite a tight-fitting case which I don't want to have to remove every night to recharge it. That's where the USB connection comes into it's own as as long as you have a Lightning to USB cable, you can just connect your iPhone via the cable without having to remove the case - it will charge and playback music just as though you were using the dock.
Plus when I choose to use the dock for my iPhone, it will also charge/playback from my iPad too (albeit charging is slow). …- Answered by Jim E
