The district court did not clearly err when it found the defendants were reasonably likely to commit future RICO violations despite the passage of the Tobacco Control Act. Nor did the court abuse its discretion when it refused to vacate its injunctions under the primary jurisdiction doctrine.
Tobacco regulations have long been a contentious subject. Two weeks ago, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [official website] struck down [JURIST report] requiring stores to display graphic anti-tobacco ads where tobacco products are sold. In March the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that graphic cigarette label warnings [JURIST news archive] are constitutional. The court decided unanimously that the portions of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA) [HR 1256 text] designed to limit the tobacco industry's ability to advertise to children, including a ban on distributing clothing and goods with logos or brand names, as well as sponsorship of cultural, athletic and social events requiring cigarette packaging and advertisements, is a valid restriction of commercial speech. Earlier that month, a judge for the US District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the FDA regulation recommending warning labels is unconstitutional [JURIST report], issuing a permanent injunction. US President Barack Obama signed [JURIST report] the FSPTCA into law in 2009, granting the FDA certain authority to regulate manufactured tobacco products. The legislation heightens warning-label requirements, prohibits marketing "light cigarettes" as a healthier alternative and allows for the regulation of cigarette ingredients. The proposed implementation of new tobacco warning labels has also drawn criticism abroad.

Brand new bookbags: For 19 years the Pine Valley Mission has furnished school supplies, clothing and shoes for needy children in their area. This year, children county wide were also assisted. Each child was given a bookbag with all the requirements for their grade and school. They were also given two sets of school clothes along with new shoes and socks. These items, along with winter coats, are furnished the entire school year. This mission is located at 12185 Highway 36 and is completely staffed by volunteers.

Snapping Shoals EMC will be awarding more than $50,000 in grants this fall to a number of teachers from the schools that the electric co-op serves in Rockdale, Newton and Henry counties through the co-op's Bright Ideas program.

Jeff Cher, who served as an assistant principal at Veterans Memorial Middle School in the 2008-2009 school year will be moving to Eastside High School to assume the role left by Dennis Roddenberry, who has been named as Eastside principal for the 2009-2010 school year.

This month's Visualizing Health Policy infographic provides information about the role of Medicaid and Medicare in women's health care: the proportion of US women who are covered by Medicaid and Medicare; how women comprise the majority of those covered by the Medicaid and Medicare programs and the majority of those receiving long-term services and supports (such as home health care); how women on Medicaid are poorer and sicker than women with private coverage; how Medicaid is a primary payer for women's reproductive health services; and how women on Medicare spend more than their male counterparts on medical care and also have higher rates of health problems and social challenges.
This timeline provides information about policy developments over the course of the last 40 years of the Medicare program and will be updated with new developments as they occur.
This interactive graphic illustrates how poverty rates among seniors in each of the 50 states change under two different Census Bureau measures of poverty: the official poverty measure and an alternative supplemental poverty measure, which takes into account health care and housing costs among other factors.
While the Census Bureau's official poverty measure shows 9 percent of seniors nationally live in poverty, the share climbs to about one in seven seniors (15 percent) under the Bureau's alternative Supplemental Poverty Measure, which takes into account out-of-pocket health expenses and geographic differences in the cost of living. Produced by the Kaiser Family Foundation, Old and Poor: America's Forgotten provides a portrait of seniors who are living in poverty, in both urban and rural areas across the United States.

Shoreline Rate Adjustment Effective March 1, 2009
The City of Shoreline, in a letter to Superintendent Jorge Carrasco dated March 30, 2007, notified City Light of its intent to collect a contract payment from City Light on the revenues derived from the distribution portion of Shoreline customer rates, as provided in the franchise agreement, paragraphs 4.1.1 and 4.1.4. The first contract payment was 3% on said revenues. The 3% contract payment was rolled into Shoreline customers' energy (kWh) rates and was implemented on June 1, 2008.
The terms of that agreement allow the City of Shoreline to require that Seattle City Light pay the City of Shoreline a contract payment of up to 6% on both the power portion and the distribution portion of Shoreline customer rate revenue. The City of Shoreline has exercised the requirement to collect the full 6% on the distribution portion. Ordinance 122910 passed by the City Council on February 9, 2009, increases the contract payment from 3% on the distribution portion of Shoreline customer rate revenue to 6%, per City of Shoreline request dated March 30, 2007. The overall increase in the average rate is 1.3%. All other charges and discounts in the rate schedules have not been changed.

The Slimfast Diet for Airplanes
From cover of Airplane! by Robert Grossman
We learned in back in high school physics that it takes energy to move a mass, and the more mass, the more energy. Paul Kedrosky lists some of the tiny moves that airlines are making to squeeze every ounce out, which add up to big savings in fuel.
- One airline saved over 17 gallons/year per pound of weight per airplane after shedding inflight phones, ovens, excess potable water, and some galley equipment on an older fleet
- In removing seatback phones from its MD-80s and B737-400s, another airline shed 200 pounds per airplane, translating into 3,400+ gallons saved annually
- Alaska Airlines indicated in March 2004 that removing just five magazines per aircraft could save $10,000 per year in fuel; also, the airline has reduced the weight of catering supplies
- Air Canada considered stripping primer and paint from its 767s to save 360 lbs. per plane
- JetBlue and US Airways and others have moved toward a paperless cockpitBy removing six seats, JetBlue reduced A320 weight by approximately 904 pounds
- Airlines have been able to remove ovens, trash compactors, or even entire galleys, due to the elimination of hot meals on selected flights; others are using lighter seats;
- they have also removed magazine racks and replaced hard cabin dividers with curtains
- AirTran ordered carbon fiber Recaro seats for its 737-700s to shave 19.4 pounds per row, resulting in estimated fuel savings of $2,000 per year per aircraft
- Alaska's new beverage cart, at 20 lbs. lighter, could save $500,000 in annual fuel costs
- Some airlines flush lavatories during extended ground delays to minimize takeoff weight

Stoney Creek releases Are You Ready?
We've just received word from West Virginia-based Stoney Creek that they've completed work on a new all-Gospel project, titled Are You Ready?
While the complete project will be released in June, the title track has already been released to AirPlay Direct, and will be distributed to radio stations in next several weeks.
In conjunction with the release, Stoney Creek has also produced a video performance of the title track.
The new single has special meaning for Libby Files, bass player and lead vocalist with Stoney Creek. Her sister, Dee Stottlemyer, passed away in 2004 and was the composer of the title track. In addition, the recording also features some of Stottlemyer's vocals on the chorus, recorded before her death, and the video shows Files visiting her sister's grave.
As we reported recently, Stoney Creek banjo player Darrell Sanders will be releasing to CD for the first time West Virginia Style, his 1983 instrumental project, also slated for a June release.
In addition to Files on bass and Sanders on banjo, Stoney Creek also includes Ed Barney on guitar. Longtime mandolin player Brett Smeltzer, featured on the new project and video, has been forced to leave due to conflicting commitments. The group is currently considering several talented candidates for his replacement, with an announcement expected soon.

In defense of horrible, terrible, no good, very bad American parents
February 15, 2012
by Shawn Bean
© Cafepress.com
When I heard about the new book Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting, I did a very American thing: I didn't read it. I'm hoping they make it into a film so I can skip all those long, sentence-y pages. Someone cast that girl from Full House in this Lifetime original movie and let's get on with it.
Then I did another very American thing: I read a review of the book so I can act like I read it. In this particular review, I learned that author Pamela Druckerman raised her two young daughters in Paris. The byproduct is Bringing Up Bébé, which details how French moms and dads are savvier, more effective parents than we are. Their children are better behaved. The babies sleep through the night. The foods their children eat don't all rhyme with ficken fuggets and trench tries. (Or is it treedom tries?)
I started work on my uninformed criticism of Druckerman's book yesterday. (Making decisions based on limited information is very American. See: weddings, Kardashian; Awards, Academy; elections, presidential). My plan was to fillet Druckerman like a mignon. (Errant use of French words and phrases: le American.) I was going to defend American parents, and tell Druckerman that just because we don't wear berets and eat stinky cheeses doesn't make us any less capable of raising great children. (Gratuitous stereotyping: majorly American.)
There was only one problem: I started work on this blog yesterday at JFK International Airport in New York City. I couldn't focus on writing because, sadly, the American parents and children nearby were so terrible.
Between getting through security at JFK and landing in Orlando, the following things happened to me:
- My suitcase was knocked over by a young girl playing tag in the terminal's dining area.
- A brother and sister got into a relentless "no you shut up" battle that resembled a Federer-Nadal rally.
- A toddler sitting behind me on the plane spit water on the back of my head.
- A child in the row across from me asked his father "When do we get to Dizaneywhirl" an estimated 12 to 14 times in a row. And he did so loud enough to drown out a f$#%ing jumbo jet turbine engine.
Wow. We are terrible parents. We have terrible children. There goes my uninformed critique. But perhaps there's something unique to the American experience that's distracting us from raising good kids. The French aren't losing their homes. They don't have to worry about finding health care. They get paid maternity leave and subsidies for hiring nannies. They don't have to pay for preschool. Americans don't have these luxuries. If we didn't have to worry about paying for that broken arm, or making ends meet while out on maternity leave, could we focus more on being better parents?
But then something hit me like a two-ton truck (made in Detroit, of course): What am I apologizing for? Actually, if you look at my experience traveling yesterday, you'll see that those incidents demonstrate exactly why American kids are so special.
- My suitcase getting knocked over: Americans are energetic, athletic, and chronically competitive.
- The "no you shut up" battle: Americans are relentless. The pursuit of happiness is no leisurely stroll. It's a climb up a steep hill. It requires an uncompromising, unbending spirit.
- Toddler spitting water: Americans know what we don't like. We aren't scared to speak our minds, for better or worse.
- The boy asking about Dizaneywhirl: Americans are negotiators. We are businesspeople who created an economy that's the engine of the world. We didn't get there by taking no for an answer. We don't accept "soon" or "in a little while." America is a nation of now.
We are not polished. We are not politically correct. We are not always reasonable. But we create leaders, thinkers, competitors, winners, in our own messy way. That persistent boy inquiring about Disneyworld will one day run PepsiCo. When that girl who knocked over my suitcase wins the 400-meter at the 2032 Olympics, the mom will say she was always running when she was little.
Our parenting style isn't pretty, but it works. (Patriotism: like totally American.)

Best in class manufacturers overcome the challenges of managing product variants with a consistent, product platform approach.
The increase of product variations is driven by many forces, and it often comes at a high cost to manufacturers. The extra time, effort, and expense required to design and deliver more product variations often have a negative impact that isn't confined to the manufacturing process. This impact can extend across the supply chain, from the cost of extra parts inventory to the added burden on service and support organizations. Ultimately, it creates a drag on productivity, which impacts revenue and profitability, both directly and through lost opportunities.
Best in class manufacturers meet the challenges of diversity head-on with a consistent, product platform approach. This allows them to introduce more product variations, faster.

This guy clearly knew how to defend himself. I'd much rather no more people be hurt and while that includes him at the same time he chose to barricade himself inside the house and again chose to not come out. The guy was clearly a little bit wrong in the head. If he supposedly had all these things to say about the LAPD and went to such extreme measures to make them known why in the heck would he just kill himself? Because he thought the cops would have killed him if he walked out? Even if they did the end result is the same as it is now, actually what he did gives less credence to his claim that he has this info that we must all know. If I was a sane person and had all the info in his situation I would have actually wanted to be caught so that some high profile attorney can get it out in the open. He's known nationally now and had a stage to present his evidence but in the end he decided to kill himself. If he truly did have some damaging info him killing himself was the worst thing he could have possibly done at that point. |
Yep. http://www.huffingtonp The state has executed just 13 convicts, and its death row has ballooned to 726 inmates since 71 percent of the electorate voted to reinstate capital punishment in 1978. No executions have taken place since 2006 because of federal and state lawsuits filed by death row inmates. Also in the article is this. How can keeping someone in prison for life be cheaper than killing them? If that's accurate all I can say is they're doing it wrong... The Legislative Analyst has said ending the death penalty would save the state $130 million annually. Last edited by LivninSC; 02-13-2013 at 02:04 PM.. |
He was definitely off in the head, no excuse for what he did. I was hoping that he was going to turn himself in to a news agency or something; since he obviously thought the cops were going to kill him. Well, they essentially did by purposely setting the place on fire. |
"The biggest problems that we're facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all. And that's what I intend to reverse when I'm president of the United States." -- Sen. Barack Obama, March 31, 2008
Dorner could have come out before the fire took hold. He obviously made the choice that he wasn't going to be taken alive, and I'm guessing that the theory he capped himself is correct.. Despite what your Mama told you, violence does solve problems.
-Ryan Job |
Perhaps he tried to exit armed, and was "forced back in" by gunfire. There was a dead sheriff's deputy laying there Dorner had just killed, along with wounding another, and his other victims. If he didn't try to come out clearly surrendering, no one in their right mind wouldn't have shot at him. |
Which is not that farfetched. Ever see "An Innocent Man"? Granted, that was about the Long Beach PD, but LA has a similar rep. |
You disparage the entire Long Beach PD and LAPD based on a fictional movie? Do you base all of your opinions on fiction, fantasies and movies? Explains a lot..... http://en.wikipedia.or |
I do wonder about that. If he did attempt to come out (unarmed) would they have shot him? Possible either way. Police could say he was armed and shot him, or they could have let him surrender. The way they shot up that pickup (with the 2 ladies) + dead deputy, makes me think they (police) would be heavy on the trigger. |
He was never going to be captured alive. Before he killed anyone, he decided to commit suicide. At that point, nobody and nothing mattered. He was a dead man walking.
Torching the cabin seems like a reasonable option as the officers already suffered a fatality and was a risk to everyone on the scene and an obvious threat. That said... I doubt that he would have lived to see a court even if he surrendered. He would likely have been shot, or beat to death. There are reasons why the police wanted the helicopters further away other than officer safety. |

Kangaroo Mother Care |
Kangaroo mother care – A safe and effective solution
"Almost two decades of implementation and research have made it clear that KMC is more than an alternative to incubator care. It has been shown to be effective for thermal control, breastfeeding and bonding in all newborn infants, irrespective of setting, weight, gestational age, and clinical conditions." a
Department of Reproductive Health and Research, World Health Organization. Kangaroo mother care: a practical guide. 1st ed. Geneva: WHO, 2003.
What's the issue? Caring for low-birth weight babies requires complex methods.
Each year about 20 million infants of low birth weight are born worldwide. These premature babies impose a heavy burden on healthcare and social systems in developing countries.
Since medical care of low birth weight infants is complex and demands an expensive infrastructure and highly skilled staff, this is often a traumatizing experience for families. Either these families cannot afford the expensive neonatal care or neonatal care units are understaffed and ill equipped, typically with malfunctioning incubators, broken monitors, overcrowding and nosocomial infections. In these cases, neonatal care units are potentially deadly traps.
Research to Practice: Kangaroo Mother Care for low birth-weight infants
In 1978, Edgar Rey, a Colombian pediatrician concerned with the problems arising from a shortage of incubators and the impact of separating women from newborns in neonatal care units, developed Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), a healthcare technique for low birth weight infants that is at least as effective as traditional care in a neonatal care unit.
In Kangaroo Mother Care, babies weighing 2000 g or less at birth and unable to regulate their body temperature remain with their mothers. Mothers themselves act as incubators, main source of stimulation, and feeding. How? Newborns are attached to mothers' chests in skin to skin contact and are kept upright 24 hours a day. Mothers can share the role of provider of the kangaroo position with other carers, especially the babies' fathers, without disrupting breastfeeding routines. The carer sleeps in a semi-sitting position. Evidence backs the effectiveness and safety of KMC in stable, preterm infants.
In low birth-weight infants who are unable to regulate their temperature, KMC is at least as safe and effective as traditional care with incubators. KMC delivers ideal conditions for stable, low birth-weight infants to thrive, strengthens parental participation and empowerment, and contributes to the healing process. Further, KMC delivers high quality care at a fraction of the cost of usual care and can be implemented in various facilities at different levels of care.
What next? Improving acceptance of and access to Kangaroo Mother Care units
KMC may be unsuitable for carers with important mental, cognitive, or behavioral problems. Some parents may feel intimidated or overwhelmed by caring for a premature baby. However, since KMC may be the best option if neonatal care units are unavailable, work is needed to improve the acceptance of the high value of these units.
Another issue is access to KMC units. Especially in rural areas, people would need to travel long distances to attend the KMC clinic and opportunity costs might be high. Further, harsh or risky environments (such as extreme climates, floods, or conflict areas) or dangerous traffic conditions may make it safer to remain in hospital so that no harm is made to the premature baby.
Nevertheless, it has been proven that during the one year follow up in the Bogotá study, no transport incidents between home and the KMC clinic were reported. To better cope with transport problems, KMC has been delivered in "Kangaroo wards". Mothers and infants typically stay there until they can be safely discharged home once frequent monitoring is no longer necessary. "Kangaroo wards" are the standard way of delivering KMC in several large facilities in both developing countries like the Jose Fabella Hospital in Manila and developed countries such as the Helsingborg Hospital, Sweden.

Whale-watching from space totally works
Whales are big, but they're relatively small compared with the great expanses of the oceans. Counting and tracking them can be a challenge, so researchers are turning to eyes in the sky for assistance. A team from the British Antarctic Survey tapped into data from the WorldView-2 satellite, a commercial satellite owned by imaging company DigitalGlobe.
Extremely high-resolution imagery was run through processing software to help detect whales in the Golfo Nuevo off the coast of Argentina. The process identified 55 whales, while there were 23 other probable sightings.… Read more

Orchestra, wind ensemble concert
Mon, May 06, 2013 starting at 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
"Springtime Celebration" concert to feature famed trumpeter Ronald Romm
Featuring world-renowned trumpeter Ronald Romm and offering a tribute to late jazz musician Dave Brubeck, the Parkland College Orchestra and Wind Ensemble's "Springtime Celebration" concert will be held Monday, May 6 at 7 p.m. at the Parkland Theatre. This event is free and open to the public.
The Parkland Orchestra, conducted by Jack Ranney, will perform the famous jazz piece "Take Five," composed by Paul Desmond and arranged by Bob Cerulli, among other selections. First recorded by The Dave Brubeck Quartet on its "Time Out" album in 1959, "Take Five" is in the Grammy Hall of Fame, widely known as the tune that introduced 5/4 meter to the jazz scene. Brubeck, designated a "Living Legend" by the Library of Congress, died December 5, 2012.
Also selected for the concert is "La Virgen de la Macarena," a traditional piece arranged by University of Illinois School of Music Professor Ronald Romm, acknowledged as one of music's preeminent trumpeters and clinicians of today. Romm will be a featured soloist during the concert.
A child prodigy who began his soloist career at age 10, Romm attended the University of Southern California before transferring to the Juilliard School. There, he completed his bachelor's and master's degrees and studied with William Vacchiano, legendary teacher and former principal trumpet of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Romm retired in June 2000 from the Canadian Brass, one of the world's premiere brass ensembles, after 30 years, more than 4,500 concerts, 50 recordings, and numerous television concert specials, videos, and master classes. He has performed live and recorded CDs with such leading artists as Wynton Marsalis, Arturo Sandoval, Jon Faddis, and Doc Severinsen, as well as with brass performers from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic, and Bayreuth Festival Orchestra.
The Parkland Wind Ensemble, conducted by Verlin Richardson, will perform several selections, including "First Suite in Eb for Military Band" by Gustav Holst, considered a cornerstone of the wind band repertoire, and "Sevens" by Samuel R. Hazo, inspired by the music of George Gershwin as well as Gordon Goodwin and his Big Phat Band. The group will also perform "American Overture for Band" by Joseph Wilcox Jenkins, a familiar staple of wind literature, and "Transcendent Journey" by Rossano Galante.
In a fitting tribute to the nation's current sesquicentennial observance of the Civil War, a defining moment in U.S. history, the wind ensemble will conclude with "American Civil War Fantasy" by Jerry H. Bilik. This selection incorporates fragments from a number of popular songs from this period.

Drug Free in Dublin, N.H.
By editor
As a volunteer at the Phoenix House Academy of Dublin, 21-year-old Sofia Capria helps teenagers battle drug and alcohol addiction — just as she did herself three years ago.
"Right away, I was hooked," Sofia says of her own drug use, which began at age 11. But for her, the road to recovery wasn't easy.
After struggling with addiction and an eating disorder she got the help she needed at the Dublin Academy — one of many nationwide. Today, Sofia is a treatment spokesperson dedicated to helping other teens make the same positive changes.
"It's difficult," she says. "And it's inspiring."
Emma Edelman is Digital Media Specialist at Phoenix House. She listens to WNYC.

Title: | Fear of Falling Does Not Alter the Kinematics of Recovery from an Induced Trip: A Preliminary Study |
Author(s): | Marone, Jane R.; Rosenblatt, Noah J.; Troy, Karen L.; Grabiner, Mark D. |
Subject(s): |
women posture rehabilitation |
Abstract: | Objective: To provide preliminary information about the relationships between self-reported fear of falling (FOF) in healthy community-dwelling women, the number of falls, and recovery kinematics in response to a laboratory-induced trip. Design: Cohort study Setting: Clinical research laboratory Participants: A subset of community dwelling older women (N=33) recruited from studies of laboratory induced trips and fall-prevention. Intervention: A laboratory-induced trip. Main Outcome Measures: The number of fallers in the FOF vs. the control group. Recovery kinematics of FOF falls vs. control group falls, and FOF recoveries vs. control group recoveries were compared. The degree of FOF was assessed by Activities Balance Confidence Scale(ABC). Results: Falls occurred in 6/14 (43%) of the FOF and 4/16 (25%) of control subjects (p=0.26). Kinematics of FOF falls were similar to those of control falls. At the completion of the initialrecovery step, FOF showed significantly greater trunk extension velocity than controls (-82.1±- 66.1 vs. -25.0±-53.0 degrees/sec respectively; p=0.05). All other variables were not significantly different. ABC scores of FOF subjects did not differ significantly between fallers and those who recovered (mean=75.2±5.6, 71.1±11.8, respectively; p=0.84). Conclusion: Healthy community-dwelling older adults would benefit from fall prevention, regardless of the presence of self-reported FOF. |

Amazing wildlife in a stunning setting with highly experienced guides
Free from the icy clutches of the winter, summer in Finland reveals a stunning new landscape of crystal-blue lakes and pine forests as far as the eye can see. Stirred by this change of climate, the forests become alive with wildlife as they emerge from a long hibernation. Although it is impossible to schedule nature, our base located in the far reaches of eastern Finland increases the chances of spotting bears, beavers, wolves and even Finland's most elusive resident, the wolverine. From here, with our expert guides we fully immerse ourselves into the home of the forests' inhabitants. For budding photographers, we also have the benefit of a wealth of experience from highly commended local photographer Lassi Rautiainen. This is the perfect quick getaway for wildlife and photography enthusiasts or for those who simply wish to unwind in the tranquility of nature.
What makes this trip responsible?
Transportation, guides and food are all from the area. Basecamp Kuikka buys and uses as much local produce as possible, i.e. berries, mushrooms and fish. The bear hide is small to minimise interference with the bear's local habitat and is made from sustainable materials. As the summer period is off-season for tourism in the Kuhmo region, by being part of this trip you will be directly contributing to the sustaining the area and the economy within it.

This is an authentic Chanel black caviar leather Grand Shopper Tote, handbag, shoulder bag. The exterior is a beautiful and sturdy caviar leather. The interior is lined with Chanel black ribbed fabric, which is also very sturdy. The hardware is all gold. The double gold chain handles have black caviar shoulder guards. They have a 10" drop. The interior is divided into three sections. The middle section closes with a gold zipper and runs the full length of the bag. One side of the interior has a large zippered pocket. The other side of the bag has a large non-zippered pocket. There is one large exterior non-zippered pocket in the back. Made in Italy.
This is just like the black quilted caviar Grand Shopper Totes that all of the trendy Hollywood celebrities are wearing. It's a great size for daytime and will fit all of your essentials and is a fabulous size for travel.
This bag was originally bought at a Chanel Boutique in 2008. It has only been gently worn and we consider the condition to be a 9 to 9.5 out of 10. The bag is in excellent pre-owned condition inside and outside. The corners are all in good condition, showing only minor shininess from wear but no scuffs. (See photos.) The gold hardware is in perfect condition with no scratches or tarnishing. The interior is in perfect condition with no stains that we can see.

You're absolutely right. Why, by that logic, Sonja Henie is a total nothing compared to today's juniors -- that broad didn't even do a 2Axel! The shame! And yanking her skate over her head? Fuhgettabouddit! Who cares that she's the only singles lady skater to win 3 Olympic Gold Medals and 10 World titles, and is considered by most other people to be one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, lady skater in the history of the sport. Doesn't matter, because she didn't have a time machine to travel to post-2004 to prove herself under COP, because *that's* what really matters! Yeah, Sonja's such a loser.

Weird DOM inconsistency HTML5 (Firefox / Webkit)
Hey guys I could use some help on this issue.
Looking at a page I developed as part of a Wordpress theme I am writing and I noticed now as I decided to check the page on Firefox that the DOM is all screwed up. I can't see why the same page, with the same source, would have 2 completely different looking DOM's and FF's just looks wrong. It might have something to do with the HTML5 elements I am using, but I am using HTML5 Boilerplate that includes Modernizr and I am talking about the latest FF here! Let me show you what I mean.
In Webkit (Chrome 8.0) it shows the DOM as intended:
Code:+ div |+ section ||+ hgroup |||-h2 |||-h3 ||+ article ||+ article ||+ article
Code:+ div |+ section ||+ hgroup |||-h2 |||-h3 ||+ article |+ article |+ article
Refer to this link to see the page with the issue: hosted locally so hopefully my machine is on
The issue is also occurring on other pages as well but this one makes it pretty clear.
sorry for wasting ur time this was a pretty dumb mistake, i was missing a closing </p> tag, webkit seems to patch that up for you and firefox has an issue because of the malformed html. SORRY!Last edited by aoberoi; Dec 3, 2010 at 20:56. Reason: DUMB MISTAKE

The long paragraph in each article is lacking a closing </p> tag, thus causing Firefox to choke.

Saving Water/Saving Energy
September 2, 2003
Water and wastewater facilities operated by U.S. business, industrial, municipal water users, and others consume 75 billion kWh of electricity annually, or about 3% of the total U.S. electricity consumption. This is equal to the total electricity consumed by the pulp, paper, and petroleum sectors combined. On a global level, the movement and treatment of water accounts for 7 percent of total energy usage.
To address this connection between water and energy usage, DOE Denver Regional Office, in conjunction with the State of Colorado Office of Energy Management and Conservation recently hosted the Saving Water/Saving Energy workshop. This event, held in Denver, Colorado on August 14, 2003, successfully brought together large commercial, industrial and municipal leaders, spanning the state of Colorado. The workshop raised awareness about the water/energy connection at a time when substantial interest is being paid to both issues.
Saving Water/Saving Energy addressed three important issues related to energy and water efficiency:
- Faced with a recent water shortage, commercial and municipal facilities in the Western region seek solutions to mitigate the impact on operations and revenues, and prepare for future water challenges. Improved efficiency during pumping, treating, heating, cooling, or conversion to steam can be part of the solution.
- By addressing water efficiency, businesses and municipalities also have the opportunity to reduce the demand for electricity, now that reliability and vulnerability are in the forefront.
- Energy efficiency improvements also free up valuable natural gas.
The event in Colorado drew nearly 200 business, municipal, and industrial participants for workshops and exhibitor demonstrations. They learned about opportunities, resources, innovative technologies, and tools available today that will simultaneously address water, electricity, and natural gas usage and improve overall resource efficiency.
DOE BestPractices hosted discussions on pumping and steam system efficiency as it applies to water and wastewater management. The event featured hands-on demonstrations of key BestPractices software tools: MotorMaster+, Pumping System Assessment Tool (PSAT), and the Steam System Assessment Tool (SSAT). These powerful self-assessment tools help plants identify opportunities for system-wide savings and improved performance.
For many attendees, this was a unique opportunity to understand the direct link between actions that save water and reduce energy demands. The event provided a venue for businesses and industries to network and discuss water and energy saving solutions.
Saving Water/Saving Energy was designed as a model for similar events that could be held throughout the nation. Energy efficiency and reliability issues can be addressed in reference to other related local priorities and issues. For more information on other events contact the DOE Regional Office in your area.

Lake Jackson is a city in Brazoria County, Texas within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. As of a 2010 U.S. Census Bureau estimate, the city population was 26,849.
Lake Jackson is named after an oxbow lake of the same name on the outskirts of town. The lake was named after the family whose antebellum plantation house was located at the lake. Minor ruins of the Lake Jackson Plantation can now be seen in a park at the site.
Lake Jackson is located at 29°2′13″N 95°26′18″W / 29.03694°N 95.43833°W (29.036837, -95.438339)[3].
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 19.8 square miles (51.3 km²), of which, 19.0 square miles (49.3 km²) of it is land and 0.8 square miles (2.0 km²) of it (3.84%) is water.
As of the census[1] of 2010, there were 26,849 people, 10,319 households, and 7,134 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,386.0 people per square mile (535.1/km²). There were 11,149 housing units at an average density of 550.2 per square mile (212.4/km²).

Twenty percent of all households were made up of individuals, and 7.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.74 and the average family size was 3.18.
In the city, the population was spread out with 26.41% under the age of 18, 5.61% from 20 to 24, 12.51% from 25 to 34, 20.60% from 35 to 49, 20.10% from 50 to 64, and 12% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 35 years. For every 100 females there were 96.06 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 94.3 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $60,901, and the median income for a family was $69,053. Males had a median income of $60,143 versus $30,398 for females. The per capita income for the city was $25,877. About 5.4% of families and 6.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.5% of those under age 18 and 6.7% of those age 65 or over.
The city was built in the early 1940s as a planned community in support of a new plant of the Dow Chemical Company. The City of Lake Jackson was incorporated March 14, 1944 and voted for home rule ten years later in 1954.

State Highway 288. Northbound SH 288 to Houston. Southbound, SH 288 routes to Freeport. |
- The city's layout and the six designs for homes were completed by architect Alden B. Dow.
- All streets radiating from downtown end in the word "Way." Among the streets are Center Way, Winding Way, Circle Way, and Parking Way. There is an intersection of two streets named "This Way" and "That Way." In the same spirit, a local church near Bess Brannen Elementary placed a small sign in their driveway named "His Way." You will also find an "Any Way."
- Most other streets not ending in "Way" were named after some form of flora. As the city grew and common names such as Pine, Mulberry, and Oak were taken, developers had to become more creative; thus, among the plants used are Jalapeño, Tangerine, Mango, and Habanero. The highways running through Lake Jackson, (Texas Highways 288 & 332) and Oyster Creek Drive, are exceptions to the naming conventions. The naming convention of "Drive," meaning a route into or out of town, is less honored today than in the beginning.
- Dow intentionally laid out the streets so that they seldom follow straight paths. Part of the basis for the winding streets was Dow's insistence that as few trees as possible should be removed in construction of the original street layout (which is still in practice today with the building of new subdivisions). Lake Jackson is a part of the National Arbor Day Foundation's Tree City USA list. Also, many of the streets follow Oyster Creek, which twists and winds through town. As a result the streets, even main thoroughfares twist and wind throughout the city. In many areas of town one can travel in any of the four compass directions and have the same commute time and distance to a destination across town.
Notable people[edit]
- J. E. "Buster" Brown, who represented District 17 in the Texas Senate from 1981 to 2002, lived here.
- Ron Paul – U.S. representative from Texas's 14th congressional district as well as a Republican presidential candidate in 2008 and 2012. He also ran as the Libertarian Party candidate in 1988.
- Rand Paul - U.S. Senator from Kentucky since 2011 spent most of his childhood in Lake Jackson

funny u mentioned that...I bought 2 boxwoods at Ikea for $5 a pc and thot the same thing...then chickened out and planted them in the garden...let us know how they turn out...I am sure they will survive cause mine do well in the garden with lots of wind
Would you want to overwinter it in the urns? I am sure it would be fine for the summer, but over winter you would want to see what the zoning is where you are in New Brunswick, and what zone boxwood is. I try to overwinter things in containers and have mixed success - but usually more if the zone for the plant is way colder than the zone for my area. Even then, if they get too dry or too wet, they can not survive. Havign said that, I have a neighbour who has successfuly overwintered some boxwood in a long narrow planter. I guess the short answer is: I don't know, but try!
