Non-renewable resource
A non-renewable resource (also known as a finite resource) is a resource that does not renew itself at a sufficient rate for sustainable economic extraction in meaningful human time-frames. An example is carbon-based, organically-derived fuel. The original organic material, with the aid of heat and pressure, becomes a fuel such as oil or gas. Fossil fuels (such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas), and certain aquifers are all non-renewable resources.
Metal ores are other examples of non-renewable resources. The metals themselves are present in vast amounts in the earth's crust, and are continually concentrated and replenished over millions of years. However their extraction by humans only occurs where they are concentrated by natural processes (such as heat, pressure, organic activity, weathering and other processes) enough to become economically viable to extract. These processes generally take from tens of thousands to millions of years. As such, localized deposits of metal ores near the surface which can be extracted economically by humans are non-renewable in human timeframes, but on a world scale, metal ores as a whole are inexhaustible, because the amount vastly exceeds human demand, on all timeframes. Though they are technically non-renewable, just like with rocks and sand, humans could never deplete the world's supply. In this respect, metal ores are considered vastly greater in supply to fossil fuels because metal ores are formed by crustal scale processes which make up a much larger portion of the earth's near-surface environment than those that form fossil fuels, which are limited to areas where carbon-based life forms flourish, die, and are quickly buried. These fossil fuel-forming environments occurred extensively in the Carboniferous Period.
In contrast, resources such as timber (when harvested sustainably) and wind (used to power energy conversion systems) are considered renewable resources, largely because their localized replenishment can occur within timeframes meaningful to humans.
Fossil fuel[edit]
Natural resources such as coal, petroleum (crude oil) and natural gas take thousands of years to form naturally and cannot be replaced as fast as they are being consumed. Eventually it is considered that fossil-based resources will become too costly to harvest and humanity will need to shift its reliance to other sources of energy. These resources are yet to be named.
An alternative hypothesis is that carbon based fuel is virtually inexhaustible in human terms, if one includes all sources of carbon-based energy such as methane hydrates on the sea floor, which are vastly greater than all other carbon based fossil fuel resources combined. These sources of carbon are also considered non-renewable, although their rate of formation/replenishment on the sea floor is not known. However their extraction at economically viable costs and rates has yet to be determined.
At present, the main energy source used by humans is non-renewable fossil fuels. Since the dawn of internal combustion engine technologies in the 17th century, petroleum and other fossil fuels have remained in continual demand. As a result, conventional infrastructure and transport systems, which are fitted to combustion engines, remain prominent throughout the globe. The continual use of fossil fuels at the current rate is believed to increase global warming and cause more severe climate change.[1]
Radioactive fuel[edit]
The use of nuclear technology requires a radioactive fuel. Uranium ore is present in the ground at relatively low concentrations and mined in 19 countries.[3] This mined uranium is used to fuel energy-generating nuclear reactors with fissionable uranium-235 which generates heat that is ultimately used to power turbines to generate electricity.[4]
Nuclear power provides about 6% of the world's energy and 13–14% of the world's electricity.[5] The expense of the nuclear industry remains predominantly reliant on subsidies and indirect insurance subsidies to continue.[6][7] Nuclear energy production is associated with potentially dangerous radioactive contamination as it relies upon unstable elements. In particular, nuclear power facilities produce about 200,000 metric tons of low and intermediate level waste (LILW) and 10,000 metric tons of high level waste (HLW) (including spent fuel designated as waste) each year worldwide.[8]
The use of nuclear fuel and the high-level radioactive waste the nuclear industry generates is highly hazardous to people and wildlife. Radiocontaminants in the environment can enter the food chain and become bioaccumulated.[9] Internal or external exposure can cause mutagenic DNA breakage producing teratogenic generational birth defects, cancers and other damage. The United Nations (UNSCEAR) estimated in 2008 that average annual human radiation exposure includes 0.01 mSv (milli-Sievert) from the legacy of past atmospheric nuclear testing plus the Chernobyl disaster and the nuclear fuel cycle, along with 2.0 mSv from natural radioisotopes and 0.4 mSv from cosmic rays; all exposures vary by location.[10] Some radioisotopes in nuclear waste emit harmful radiation for the prolonged period of 4.5 billion years or more,[11] and storage has risks of containment. The storage of waste, health implications and dangers of radioactive fuel continue to be a topic of debate, resulting in a controversial and unresolved industry.
Renewable resources[edit]
Natural resources, called renewable resources, are replaced by natural processes and forces persistent in the natural environment. There are intermittent and reoccurring renewables, and recyclable materials, which are utilized during a cycle across a certain amount of time, and can be harnessed for any number of cycles.
The production of goods and services by manufacturing products in economic systems creates many types of waste during production and after the consumer has made use of it. The material is then either incinerated, buried in a landfill or recycled for reuse. Recycling turns materials of value that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources again.
The natural environment, with soil, water, forests, plants and animals are all renewable resources, as long as they are adequately monitored, protected and conserved. Sustainable agriculture is the cultivation of plant materials in a manner that preserves plant and animal ecosystems over the long term. The overfishing of the oceans is one example of where an industry practice or method can threaten an ecosystem, endanger species and possibly even determine whether or not a fishery is sustainable for use by humans. An unregulated industry practice or method can lead to a complete resource depletion.[12]
The renewable energy from the sun, wind, wave, biomass and geothermal energies are based on renewable resources. Renewable resources such as the movement of water (hydropower, tidal power and wave power), wind and radiant energy from geothermal heat (used for geothermal power) and solar energy (used for solar power) are practically infinite and cannot be depleted, unlike their non-renewable counterparts, which are likely to run out if not used sparingly.
The potential wave energy on coastlines can provide 1/5 of world demand. Hydroelectric power can supply 1/3 of our total energy global needs. Geothermal energy can provide 1.5 more times the energy we need. There is enough wind to power the planet 30 times over, wind power could power all of humanity's needs alone. Solar currently supplies only 0.1% of our world energy needs, but there is enough out there to power humanity's needs 4,000 times over, the entire global projected energy demand by 2050.[13][14]
Renewable energy and energy efficiency are no longer niche sectors that are promoted only by governments and environmentalists. The increasing levels of investment and that more of the capital is from conventional financial actors, both suggest that sustainable energy has become mainstream and the future of energy production, as non-renewable resources decline. This is reinforced by climate change concerns, nuclear dangers and accumulating radioactive waste, high oil prices, peak oil and increasing government support for renewable energy. These factors are commercializing renewable energy, enlarging the market and growing demand, the adoption of new products to replace obsolete technology and the conversion of existing infrastructure to a renewable standard.[15]
Economic models[edit]
In economics, a non-renewable resource is defined as goods, where greater consumption today implies less consumption tomorrow.[16] David Ricardo in his early works analysed the pricing of exhaustible resources, where he argued that the price of a mineral resource should increase over time. He argued that the spot price is always determined by the mine with the highest cost of extraction, and mine owners with lower extraction costs benefit from a differential rent. The first model is defined by Hotelling's rule, which is a 1931 economic model of non-renewable resource management by Harold Hotelling. It shows that efficient exploitation of a nonrenewable and nonaugmentable resource would, under otherwise stable conditions, lead to a depletion of the resource. The rule states that this would lead to a net price or "Hotelling rent" for it that rose annually at a rate equal to the rate of interest, reflecting the increasing scarcity of the resources. The Hartwick's rule provides an important result about the sustainability of welfare in an economy that uses non-renewable source.
However, nearly all metal prices have been declining over time in inflation adjusted terms, because of a number of false assumptions in the above. Firstly, metal resources are non-renewable, but on a world scale, largely inexhaustible. This is because they are present throughout the earth's crust on a vast scale, far exceeding human demand on all time scales. Metal ores however, are only extracted in those areas where nature has concentrated the metal in the crust to a level whereby it is locally economic to extract. This also depends on the available technology for both finding the metal ores as well as extracting them, which is constantly changing. If the technology or demand changes, vast amounts of metal previously ignored can become economically extractable. This is why Ricardo's simplistic notion that the price of a mineral resource should increase over time has in fact turned out to be the opposite, nearly all metal ores have decreased in inflation adjusted prices since well before the early 20th century. The main reason he was wrong is that he assumed that metals are exhaustible on a world scale, and he also misunderstood the effect of globally competing markets; in human terms the amount of metal in the earth's crust is essentially limitless. It is only in localized areas that metal ores can become depleted, as these local areas compete with extraction costs of resources elsewhere, which does have ramifications for the sustainability of local economies.

OKLAHOMA CITY — After the NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder faced a difficult question: If they couldn't afford to keep both league blocks-leader Serge Ibaka and Sixth Man of the Year James Harden, which one would stay?
The Thunder ended up securing Ibaka with a long-term extension this off-season, providing the first signal that Harden's days in Oklahoma City might be numbered. With Ibaka's deal done, there wasn't enough salary cap space left to come close to Harden's demands and he was shipped off to Houston in a trade just before the season.
Meanwhile, Ibaka has quietly been giving Oklahoma City its money's worth. As one of the NBA's most accurate shooters, he's averaging a career-high 14.3 points and leading the Thunder in rebounding (8.5).
"I work hard. I try to do my best I can, getting better and better," Ibaka said. "I don't want just to be like people used to know Serge Ibaka four years ago.
"Now is my fourth year in the NBA, so I try to get better at everything."
When Ibaka first joined the Thunder, the expectations for the Republic of Congo native were minimal. Coach Scott Brooks repeatedly said his role was simply about playing defence and providing energy. That was a starting point after Ibaka was the 20th pick in the 2008 draft and spent an extra season playing in Europe to develop before heading to the NBA.
Since then, he's growing — not only developing his game but learning English. He earned an endorsement deal with Sprite around the time the player nicknamed "Air Congo" appeared in last year's slam dunk competition and threw one down after taking off from the free-throw line.
He moved into the starting lineup and led the league in blocks two straight years, even more impactful because of how his defence helped trigger Oklahoma City's fast-break offence with All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
He works and he puts in as much time as anybody. He's very serious about his work and it shows. He's improved a lot since he's been here
Now he's getting more offensive chances with the departure of Harden, the NBA's top-scoring reserve last season. So far this season, Ibaka is averaging about five more points and his 2.9-block average is behind only Milwaukee's Larry Sanders.
"Obviously, his offensive game is expanded and he's still blocking shots and rebounding," said veteran Nick Collison, Ibaka's backup. "But I think his focus is a lot better. Defensively, he's where he should be. He's not getting lost. He's been great for us."
Ibaka's biggest offensive impact comes from offensive rebounds and springing free for mid-range jumpers when defences crowd Durant and Westbrook on the pick and roll. It's a shot Ibaka has mastered over the past few years, taking dozens of them at the end of practice.
"He's a machine," Collison said. "He's been that way since he's been here. He works and he puts in as much time as anybody. He's very serious about his work and it shows. He's improved a lot since he's been here."
Earlier this season, Brooks said there may be no one on the team he'd rather see shoot a mid-range jumper. The statistics back him up. Ibaka is tied for fifth in the NBA, making 56% of his shots, and he's working toward improving his range to where he can reliably make a corner three-pointer.
While he may never be the focal point for Oklahoma City, Ibaka is developing more ways to contribute to the NBA's highest-scoring offence.
"I know when you have a team with Westbrook and Kevin Durant, one of the best scorers in the league, every night you will not touch the ball but just be ready whenever it comes to you and try to make plays," Ibaka said.
Some of Ibaka's top performances have come in some marquee games for the Thunder. He matched his regular-season high with 25 points and had 17 rebounds in a Western Conference finals rematch against San Antonio and had 23 points and nine rebounds in Harden's much-anticipated return to Oklahoma City with Houston.
He has four 20-point games already this season, after having just two in his first three NBA seasons — along with a few in the playoffs.
"Now we expect it from him," Durant said. "When he has a double-double, it's not like, 'Breaking news: Serge had a double-double!' It's normal for him now. He's playing well for us, and we're going to need that from him all season."
The Thunder went into the weekend percentage points ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers for the NBA's best record, with a difficult stretch ahead featuring 11 of their next 13 games on the road. It starts with a back-to-back set Sunday at Toronto and Monday at Washington.
"He's playing well. Teams are playing small against us, so he's hurting them on the offensive glass and he's making teams go big," Durant said. "That's to our advantage when we've got the big fellas in there. He's doing a great job on the offensive boards, shooting the basketball well and he's just playing with a lot of confidence."

Hang tight!
Recipe by Patty2007
"My favorite fried rice recipe! A great substitute for potatoes for any meal."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 slices bacon, diced
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 egg, beaten
4 cups cold cooked rice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Made this for Recipe Group...DELICIOUS! I did half the amount of rice and used more peas b/c we love them, but kept all of the other ingredients the same. I think if I were to use the whole 4 cups of rice, then I would def double up on the other ingredients, but that's just my opinion. I used a mix of red, yellow and orange pepper b/c I had them to use up. The guys really enjoyed this...we LOVED the addition of the bacon and bacon grease...it made for a very flavorful dish! This is gonna be my new go-to fried rice recipe...so simple~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
Nearly identical to Kikkoman's "Classic Fried Rice," also from this site. For the most part I followed the recipe as written (there are infinite variations you could try) except for cooking the egg separately, like a crepe, then rolling it up like a cigar and slicing it, chiffonade-style, for a more authentic presentation. Just as it is used in "Classic Fried Rice," this could benefit from the addition of some fresh minced garlic.

This is a very nice fried rice dish. I completely agree with the other reviewers, the bacon definitely gives this an edge over other recipes. I actually could have used a little more scrambled egg in mine, but it was still delicious.
Recipe Group Selection: 19, January 2013 – Wonderful recipe. We loved the flavoring that the bacon added to the recipe. I very loosely measured the ingredients, although I did use all of them. We thought the taste of the veggies really came through without being overpowered by the salt in the soy sauce. Just a nice simple fried rice that paired nicely with pork eggrolls. Thanks Patty2007 for sharing your version of Fried Rice – it is a keeper. It was also an excellent choice for Recipe Group.
Great rice dish, the bacon truly makes the dish nice and tasty, cooked the veggies a bit longer than a min. but still left them crunchy. I used sugar snap peas and the whole red pepper. Paired very well with sweet and sour pork.
Made this for recipe group. I did not use the bacon(which would not have been a good mix for me) or eggs(allergy) but did use some bacon drippings to fry the vegetables. I doubled the vegetables, but still would have preferred more of them. The addition of some roasted pork at the end gave us 4 main dish servings.
Great fried rice recipe, the bacon totally makes it! I followed the recipe with a few minor adjustments. I used 4 slices of bacon instead of 3 and next time I might even use a little more. I was making this as a main dish so I also added some chicken which I cooked in a little bit of sesame oil before cooking the bacon. So I cooked the chicken removed it from the pan, cooked the bacon and then followed the rest of the recipe as written. Definitely a keeper!
Made this for Recipe Group. I did not have any peas, so subbed some grated carrot. Have never had fried rice with bacon before. It tasted good when eaten right away; leftovers the next day did not go over so well. Thanks for posting something different for us to try, Patty2007.

House Seat 74 Candidates Vow to Complete Term if ElectedThe race for the district 74 seat in the house is heating up. A special election is being held because the current legislator, Jay Love, is stepping down.
"Just not one that quits. I stick it out whatever it takes, but I just stay with it," said Polizos. Charlotte Meadows says, " I've never backed down from anything I've started and always finish what I have started." You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Wednesday, Sep 18 at 4:57 PM I have a question that puzzles me. Why can Heather Sellers and Dimitri Polizos go onto the talk radio stations that is plural and also why don't we as constituents hear these three candidates in a true debate? WAKA AND WSFA hosting a debate moderated by Mark Montiel would equal news that exposes all the candidates for who they really are. Frankly put they know the truth and are scared to admit the truth. You do not have to hide like Barbara Thompson if you are telling the TRUTH! Report on why they can not do an interview. Just remember that who wins will be representing you and if you feel like voting for someone who is already in hiding so be it. A knock on your door to ask if a sign can be placed in your yard does not constitute election to public office. Its like you buying gold from someone taking their word its real them placing the sign walking away NEVER to return again and you take the gold to cash it in and find out its fools gold. I mean its absurd. said on Wednesday, Sep 18 at 5:09 PM WAKA AND WSFA should join together for the people of this district and hold a joint debate moderated by Mark Montiel. The constituents of this district deserve to hear a through debate to reveal the characters of the candidates running in this election. It is a disservice to allow them to hide in the dark and sell their false image to the uninformed public. This is the worst coverage of a race I have seen thus far in my adult life. They have an open invitation to two networks and have refused to go on. If you have nothing to hide why would you not want the free opportunity to stand for the views in which you express in commercials, signs, and print ads? It really is because you can not stand firm in the truth just like Barbara Thompson. You can not speak unless it is a prepared statement. Add a comment |

Anticipate challenges with the ITS technology being tested, including problems with software modification and adaptation of previously developed technology.
A Washington State Department of Transportation's experience with testing of new variable speed limit technology to reduce winter accidents on a mountain pass.
United States
Background (Show)
Lesson Learned
- Complete a functional specification for the project before beginning software modifications. Software modification is an integral part of the design and development of an ITS. Explicitly documenting the functions that a system requires will help to ensure fewer false starts and revisions.
- Include a prototyping step as part of the software development and modification. Prototyping, which is a simulation of the systems operation, assured a way to communicate with the Travel Aid operators about how the system would look and operate.
- Expect difficulties in retrofitting previously designed equipment with a new ITS. The Travel Aid project planned to use an available in-vehicle device. This did not work because of communication incompatibilities between the in-vehicle devices and the Travel Aid systems. These problems rendered the in-vehicle units inoperable.
These technical challenges delayed or prevented parts of the Travel Aid test from occurring. For example, the compatibility problem with the in-vehicle units would have required adding an estimated two full-time staff during the test period to test the in-vehicle units. Consequently, the in-vehicle units were never installed in the test vehicles.
This experience suggests that any test of new ITS technology that involves software modification should first develop functional specifications for the project and also include prototyping. The lesson also suggests that adaptation of previously designed equipment may present serious incompatibly problems.

Inside Collection (Course): Geography Grade 6
Remember this!
Human beings have altered or destroyed the original environment of many parts of the world.
2. Area division of the different biomes
Main biomes of the world | ||
Biome | Area(million km 2 ) | Percentage |
Forests | 52,3 | 40,1 |
Savannah | 21,8 | 16,7 |
Grasslands | 8,8 | 6,8 |
Deserts | 33,8 | 25,9 |
Tundra | 13,7 | 10,5 |
Discuss in your groups the effect of densely populated areas on natural forests and how nature can be protected. Write a brief report on the findings of your group.
Unfortunately uncontrolled mining methods such as opencast mining, drilling for oil and the establishment of infrastructures that include roads and towns or cities, have damaged this natural biome to a large extent.
In areas with a winter rainfall where the rain develops out of cyclones that come from over the seas, we find Mediterranean forests. These regions experience long, dry summers. The vegetation consists of small knotty trees with leathery leaves. Shrubs cover most of the landscape. The plants have adapted in various ways to the summer drought conditions.
Some have tough, leathery or waxy leaves to protect them against the summer heat, and to minimize evaporation (protea).
Some have fine hairs on their leaves to reflect the sunlight (silver tree).
A thick bark layer around the trunk also reduces evaporation.
Choose any one of the afore-mentioned forest biomes and make a collage to depict it.
THE SAVANNAH BIOME (tropical grasslands)
The class divides into two groups.Group 1: Collect photographs, pictures and newspaper or magazine clippings that show the landscape and the various animals of the savannah and use these to make a large poster for the classroom.Group 2: Collect information on the various well-known nature reserves that have been established in the savannah regions and use it to make a poster. |
THE GRASSLANDS BIOME (temperate grasslands)
North America – the Prairies
Asia and Europe – the Steppes
South America – the Pampas
Australia – the Downlands
South Africa – the Veld
Namib Southern Africa / Namibia
Sahara North Africa
Thar Pakistan / India
Ar Rub' al Khali Saudi Arabia
Taklimakan China
Alacama South America (Chile / Peru)

Holiday-themed movies and TV shows get the most attention during this time of year.
But there are just as many, if not more, beloved books that contain cherished Christmas stories -- some of which get shared across generations. With an impending winter storm on the horizon, this may be the best time to find the Christmas spirit between the covers of a good book. These are some of our favorites that are easily found at a bookstore or library.
'The Night Before Christmas'
This poem is a classic in every sense of the word. First written anonymously in 1823, Clement Clarke Moore eventually claimed authorship of the story that talks about a visit from the legendary St. Nick. Some argue that the poem is responsible for some of Santa's iconic wardrobe and stature.
But our favorite part of the tale is how many times it has been told and illustrated. The Joplin Public Library had two versions in stock on Tuesday, and both featured dramatically different illustrations.
The tale is timeless and a perfect story for sharing the magic of Santa and Christmas morning with kids.
'The Polar Express'
The movie adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg's "The Polar Express" is legendary for some of the creepiest computer animation to ever be featured in a movie -- all the more reason to share this tale with kids.
While kids will appreciate the story's exciting trip to the North Pole to witness Santa's departure, parents will get a bit nostalgic near the book's ending, which deals with how Christmas changes as we grow up.
'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'
Unlike "The Polar Express," the 1966 animated adaptation by Chuck Jones has become just as beloved as the book. The Jim Carrey movie of 2000? Not so much.
But the book is where the magic of this tale starts. Dr. Seuss' catchy poetry and creatively written rhymes make this story a joy to read out loud. The story talks about what means the most during the holidays -- and it has nothing to do with presents.
'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever'
We can't think of a single kid who didn't want to be one of the rotten Herdmans -- six kids who did whatever they wanted and showed up at church only because they heard there would be snacks.
When the Herdman kids get involved in the church's annual pageant, all kinds of craziness breaks loose, but somehow the message of Jesus' birth gets communicated.
Barbara Robinson's 1971 story has been adapted into plays and movies. Perfect for older readers, the house will echo with fits of giggles triggered by the Herdmans' antics.
'Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever'
Jeff Kinney's combination of diary writing, hilarious cartoons and middle-school life have made the "Wimpy Kid" series popular -- especially with boys, a group that's always tough to get reading regularly.
"Cabin Fever" features a Christmas disaster: As Greg struggles with Santa's surveillance system, his mother introduces a doll similar to the Elf on the Shelf -- only to have it corrupted by his older brother's paranoia-inducing placements.
The action accelerates from there, until everything comes to a screeching halt when a blizzard knocks out power, leading the family to get hungry and bored.
'Angel Pig and the Hidden Christmas'
A common Christmas stressor is brilliantly addressed in Jan Waldron's tale of a helpful pig. When some little piggies get sad about how they can't afford a trip to market for Christmas gifts, a heavenly ham arrives and shows the kids how to make gifts for everyone.
Beautifully illustrated by David McPhail, "Angel Pig" can motivate kids of all ages to think of inexpensive yet thoughtful gifts that will be cherished even more than the stories listed here.
'Olive, the Other Reindeer'
A relatively new holiday hero, Olive is a Jack Russell terrier who mishears a key lyric in "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer." When the song gets to "All of the other reindeer," Olive hears her name instead and answers Santa's call for help.
Whimsical illustrations by J. Otto Seibold make this story perfect for sharing.

VIDEO: Aftermath of NYC building collapse
Footage from the New York Daily News shows firefighters responding to a building collapse at East 116th Street and Park Avenue in Harlem. At least 11 minor injuries had been reported late Wednesday morning.
VIDEO: Double leads to runaway stroller at spring training game
A fan at a recent Marlins-Mets spring training game in Port St. Lucie was so intent on snagging the ball from a ground rule double by Chris Young that he forgot to hang on to the stroller carrying his young son, which then careened down a hill.
If you were a crustacean, would you feel pain?
A scientist and a seafood chef walk into a bar. "We have a mutual interest," says the scientist. "I study crustaceans and you cook them." But the chef wanted to know just one thing: Do the animals feel pain?
How virus sleuths and public health officials track the cause of a mysterious illness
When a mysterious disease fells people - as happened in California recently, with as many as 20 children experiencing unexplained paralysis - teams of physicians and epidemiologists quickly mobilize. Perhaps you saw the movie "Contagion"? The idea is to find the culprit before it spreads but also to prevent public panic.
First Apple, now Google hit with kids' app lawsuit
Last month, 4- and 5-year-old brothers in New York quickly spent $65.95 in real money to buy virtual goods in Marvel's Run Jump Splash game on the family tablet. They were able to rack up the charges without entering a password. And for that, the boys' mother has joined a class-action lawsuit filed Tuesday against Google, accusing the company of deceiving consumers about its in-app purchase system, which critics say makes it too easy for kids to spend money on their Android devices.
VIDEO: First month of Colorado pot legalization brought in $2M in tax revenue
The first month of recreational marijuana sales in Colorado brought in about $2 million in tax revenue, the first indicator of the earning potential of the U.S.'s premier legal pot market.
VIDEO: NHL game postponed after player collapses
Monday's game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Dallas Stars was postponed after Stars forward Rich Peverley collapsed on the bench shortly after completing a shift in the first period.
VIDEO: Family rescued from ferocious feline
A family in Portland, Ore., called 911 after their pet cat scratched their son and "went over the edge," forcing them to take refuge in a bedroom.
In this tech age, how can a plane go missing?
Call 911 from the side of the road, and GPS satellites can tell dispatchers exactly where to send help. Airline passengers have access to detailed maps that show exactly where they are during their journey. Hop onto WiFi, and somehow Google knows whether you're logging on from Lima or London, and will give you detailed suggestions about what to eat.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Dozens of parents and activists took to the steps of the Capitol Complex Wednesday morning to advocate for the right not to vaccinate their children.
West Virginia is one of two states that does not allow parents a nonmedical exemption to immunizations.
Rally participants urged the West Virginia Legislature to pass Senate Bill 50, which would allow parents nonmedical immunization exemptions to vaccines.
"We feel like it's a constitutional issue," said Claudia Raymer of Moundsville, founder of the group We the People.
Among the concerns are that some vaccines are developed in aborted fetuses, which causes a moral objection for some parents, she said.
She also argued that some vaccines like the ones for chicken pox and for hepatitis B are not needed. Chicken pox is not a deadly disease and hepatitis B is a sexually transmitted disease, she said.
Raymer's son was fully vaccinated until she said he developed a condition related to the immunizations. A doctor in Pittsburgh recommended a medical exemption, which was denied by Marshall County officials, she said.
Raymer is filing an injunction but if the medical exemption is ultimately denied, her only other choice besides vaccinations will be to educate her son at home, she said.
"We're not asking for groundbreaking legislation," Raymer said. "We're asking for the rights just like other states [have]."

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Against All Odds: Relations between NATO and the MENA Region
U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Dr. Florence Gaub.
While NATO was created with a primary outlook to the East, its Southern rim was neglected strategically until the end of the Cold War. Since then, the Alliance has undertaken a number of efforts to build strategic relationships with the Middle East and North Africa, recognizing the region's importance for Allied security. However, looming obstacles may well interfer with NATO's efforts to enhance relations with the region. Geostrategic realities are not in NATO's favor: it is a region of crisis; suspicious of the West in general; riddled with internal instability; and is a difficult to build ties with. This monograph examines the existing relationships as well as the remaining obstacles, and proposes solutions to the latter.

Garage 34 is more than a store. It is a new way of thinking," says the website for the recently-opened boutique. Located at 34 S. Lexington Ave. (just past French Broad Chocolate Lounge), the store has the feeling of a mini-Screen Door: Lots of cool stuff just waiting to be discovered. Unlike Screen Door, Garage 34 has less decor, more wearable art — including lots of clothing and handmade toys for kids. Artists include Twiggy, Yarnies, Dom Unique and many more. Open Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sunday 1-6 p.m.

Comments about AIRE Lynx I Air Floor Kayak:
Bought primarily for taking family members down rivers who have no roll and get nervous in a kayak. Used mainly on class 3. It works great. It gives a stable ride through at least modest wavetrains and small holes. It allows lunches and gear to be carried, which comes in handy for hard boaters. it is very easy to use. I am looking forward to seeing if one can play in a hole with it.

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Isaiah Stanback has fought to play
quarterback his entire career.
But the former University of Washington signal caller knew if he
wanted to play in the N-F-L, a position change to wide receiver was
The Dallas Cowboys selected 6-foot-2, 216-pound Stanback with
their first pick in the fourth round today and intend to move him
to wide receiver. He hasn't played that position since his freshman
year in college.
Drafting a college quarterback and converting him to wide
receiver has become a popular trend in recent years. Pittsburgh's
Hines Ward, Washington's Antwaan Randle El, Jacksonville's Matt
Jones and Dallas' third receiver Patrick Crayton have all made
successful transitions to receiver.
It was little surprise the Cowboys were looking to bolster their
receiving corps. They didn't choose a receiver in the first three
rounds of the draft yesterday.
The Cowboys used their second pick in the fourth round to select
Northern Illinois offensive tackle Doug Free.
Dallas didn't have a fifth-round choice, but it chose Arizona
kicker Nick Folk with the 178th pick and Connecticut fullback Deon
Anderson with the 195th pick.
In the seventh round, Dallas selected Cal Poly cornerback
Courtney Brown and Illinois cornerback Alan Ball.
Amobi Okoye was walking at 7-months-old and by 1 he amused himself by pushing dining chairs across the kitchen
So it seems normal to his mother, Edna Okoye, that her
19-year-old "baby boy" would be the youngest player taken in the
first round of the N-F-L draft since the merger. Okoye was picked
tenth by Houston.
Okoye started high school at age 12 and was enrolled at
Louisville by 16. He says he first got involved in football because
his parents thought he was getting fat. But he soon learned to love
it and earned all-state honors as a 14-year-old high school senior.
The 6-foot-1, 300-pound Okoye will join a defensive line in
Houston that features last year's Number 1 pick Mario Williams and
a unit that also has Defensive Rookie of the Year DeMeco Ryans.
Today, the Texans traded fourth-round picks with New Orleans and
also got a fifth round pick from the Saints. Houston chose South
Carolina defensive back Fred Bennett with the 123rd pick and
Stanford safety Brandon Harrison in the fifth round at 144.
Houston got Virginia Tech offensive tackle Brandon Frye at
Number 163 and Texas offensive guard Kasey Studdard in the sixth
round at 183.
The Texans also chose Kansas State linebacker Zach Diles in the
seventh round with pick Number 218. Houston moved down from Number 8 to 10th and gave up this year's second round pick in the trade
that brought quarterback Matt Schaub from Atlanta.
Alabama cornerback Ramzee Robinson is this year's Mr. Irrelevant.
Eighteen hours and five minutes after it began, the Detroit
Lions ended the N-F-L draft by selecting the 5-foot-10, 186-pound
cornerback in the seventh round with the 255th pick, the last pick
"My faith was tested," Robinson says.
The perks of being perhaps the draft's longest of long shots
includes a June trip to Newport Beach, California, as the guest of
honor at the Lowsman Trophy banquet. The Lowsman Trophy is
Irrelevant Week's answer to the Heisman Trophy.

Because we know communism in no way transformed a primary backwards agrarian economy into that of a world power with the third and soon to be second largest economy of the world.
And from the way you are characterizing Chinese law, it sounds like you don't have a very accurate picture of what happens. Most of modern China's legal proceedings are very transparent. That doesn't make them fair or humanitarian, but it isn't secret police murdering in the dead of night.
