Equivocation ("to call by the same name") is classified as an informal logical fallacy. It is the misleading use of a term with more than one meaning or sense (by glossing over which meaning is intended at a particular time). It generally occurs with polysemic words (words with multiple meanings).
It is often confused with amphiboly; the difference is that equivocation arises from an ambiguous definition of a word, while amphiboly refers to ambiguous sentence structure due to punctuation or syntax.
Fallacious reasoning[edit]
Equivocation is the use in a syllogism (a logical chain of reasoning) of a term several times, but giving the term a different meaning each time. For example:
- A feather is light.
- What is light cannot be dark.
- Therefore, a feather cannot be dark.
In this use of equivocation, the word "light" is first used as the opposite of "heavy", but then used as a synonym of "bright" (the fallacy usually becomes obvious as soon as one tries to translate this argument into another language). Because the "middle term" of this syllogism is not one term, but two separate ones masquerading as one (all feathers are indeed "not heavy", but it is not true that all feathers are "bright"), this type of equivocation is actually an example of the fallacy of four terms.
Semantic shift[edit]
The fallacy of equivocation is often used with words that have a strong emotional content and many meanings. These meanings often coincide within proper context, but the fallacious arguer does a semantic shift, slowly changing the context by treating, as equivalent, distinct meanings of the term.
In English language, one equivocation is with the word "man", which can mean both "member of the species, Homo sapiens," and "male member of the species, Homo sapiens." The following sentence is a well-known equivocation:
- "Do women need to worry about man-eating sharks?", in which "man-eating" is construed to mean a shark that devours only male human beings.
- "People testing for faster than light phenomena must not know it's impossible to travel faster than the speed of light."
Here, "impossible" is construed to mean that there's zero chance that relativity (the physics theory) is wrong. However, "it's impossible to travel faster than the speed of light" is taught to mean that based on relativity, there's no way (hence "impossible") to travel faster than the speed of light.
This occurs where the referent of a word or expression in a second sentence is different from that in the immediately preceding sentence, especially where a change in referent has not been clearly identified.
- All jackasses have long ears.
- Carl is a jackass.
- Therefore, Carl has long ears.
Here the equivocation is the metaphorical use of "jackass" to imply a stupid or obnoxious person instead of a male donkey.
"Nothing is better than"[edit]
- Margarine is better than nothing.
- Nothing is better than butter.
- Therefore, margarine is better than butter.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. — Emily Marshall was sinking.
Hours weren't steady at work. Her post-traumatic stress, bipolar and other mental health disorders were difficult for others to understand. And, coupled with her medical problems, they added up to huge bills.
"I felt like nobody cared; like there was no hope," said Marshall, of Muncie. "I wanted it all to go away."
She thought about numbing the pain with pills — too many — then slipping into a deep sleep and never waking up. How easy it would be. How liberating. How simple.
But when she spoke with her husband, James, he pulled her back. "When she said she was thinking about it, I said, 'We're going to the hospital,'" he said. Emily was put on a 72-hour suicide hold.
Hers isn't an uncommon story. In 2010, the most recent year for which statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are available, nearly one million Americans attempted suicide — one every 32 seconds.
And they're the lucky ones. Of those attempts, 38,364 were successful. That's 105 people per day, and at least one by the time you've finished reading this story.
The statistics weigh heavier in Madison County, where 28 people committed suicide in 2010. The county's rate was nearly double the national average — roughly 21 per capita.
"We cannot ignore this and go around with blindfolds on," said Anthony Malone, president of the Madison County Community Health Center. "Many people, when they look at these numbers, just shake their heads because they don't understand. The question is: Can we afford that?"
There's no saying for sure why Madison County's numbers are so high, but one factor could be an above-average unemployment rate. It soared as high as 12.7 percent in 2010, the same year the county's suicide rate spiked.
"In this area, there's a huge loss of income (and) people out of work," said the Marshalls' doctor, Sharon McNeany, an adjunct professor at Ball State University and director of behavioral health and psychological services at MCCHC. "That puts financial stress on the family, if their basic needs aren't being met — clothes, home, food."
Of course, money is only one possibility. Suicidal thoughts can be triggered by any number of things, such as a traumatic event, loneliness or feeling powerless. Thoughts like, "Can't stop the pain, can't think clearly, can't make decisions, can't see any way out," according to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Emily said some of those were running through her head both times she considered killing herself — once with pills; the other by driving off a bridge.
The latter, ironically, is what led her to a new life with her husband. She went to a friend's house where she met James, who was empathetic since he'd considered it, too.
"If you're thinking about (suicide), pretty much all you're dealing with is negative stuff," he said. "It's hopelessness. You need to reach out."
That's sometimes difficult, McNeany said, because there's often a stigma associated with depression. "But it truly is a mental health issue," she said. "There's a chemical imbalance that takes place and multiple stressors can bring that on. It's not shameful to be depressed."
Both Marshalls were lucky to have a strong support system: each other, doctors, friends and family. After Emily's hospital hold, "one grandma threatened to take me over her knee if I ever did it (thought about suicide) again," she said, jokingly.
Whether or not you think the person is likely to actually commit suicide, it's important to take them seriously, James said. Speak openly about how they're feeling, offer alternatives and encourage them to get help.
At the Community Health Center, a behavioral health team offers psycho-educational programs and counseling for individuals, families, couples and groups, many of which are geared toward building coping skills.
"It's all about mixing primary care with behavioral care," Malone said, "because that's one of the best safety nets, when you put the two together."
They also screen to see if patients are considering suicide, an important fail safe, since loved ones don't always recognize red flags, such as talking about being a burden to others, increased alcohol or drug intake or extreme mood swings.
The problem becomes even more serious when it involves kids, who unfortunately aren't exempt. Young people are more difficult to read, Malone said, because adults "don't understand them" or think the problem is hormonal.
While suicide was the 10th leading cause of death for adults in 2010, it was third for people 24 or younger, accounting for nearly 5,000 deaths in the U.S. that year. Of those, 274 were under the age of 15.
Kids and teens have stressors too, McNeany said. Many are in the school or home environments, such as "conflict with the parents, maybe their parents are getting separated or divorced," she said.
Those things affect everyone in the household. But then again, so does suicide.
According to the CDC report, each one impacts an estimated six people, minimum. Considering the 796,672 suicides in the U.S. between 1986 and 2010, there are at least 4.78 million people — one in 65 Americans — whose friend or family member has taken his or her own life.
In an odd way, that might be reassuring. It means no one, no matter how isolated they feel, is ever truly alone, James said.
"It's going to affect everybody, not just you," he said. "There's always somebody (who cares), whether you know it or not."

A 29-year-old Cottage Grove woman charged in the death of her newborn son has died after lighting herself on fire.
Police said Toni Medrano used a flammable liquid to set herself on fire in the backyard of a home in St. Paul Park last Monday. She was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul where she later died.
While no one knows exactly what was going through Medrano's mind when she killed herself, police say she was despondent over personal issues and her loved ones say national exposure of her son's death is at least partially responsible.
Medrano was charged with two counts of manslaughter in the death of her 3-week-old son last November. She allegedly drank vodka before falling asleep on the couch with her baby.
The medical examiner's report concluded the baby suffocated.
The case gained national attention last month when it was featured on HLN network's Nancy Grace TV talk show. Nancy Grace dubbed Medrano "the Vodka mom" and poured shots of vodka throughout the segment.
Medrano's mother, Yvonne Hill, told FOX 9 News her daughter was already struggling to come to terms with the death of her son, Adrian, when Grace highlighted the case and asked why Medrano hadn't been charged with murder.
According to Hill, Medrano became depressed after the show.
"She was trying to build and get by and live with what happened," Hill explained. "When she saw that, it broke her spirit in the worst way."
Hill said her daughter went drinking one week ago before returning to her mother's home and lighting the fire that led to her death.
Medrano is not the first mother to commit suicide following exposure on Grace's programming, and University of Minnesota journalism professor Chris Ison says cable commentary shows like Grace's can blur the lines between news and entertainment.
"Media can have a big impact on a case like this -- and on a person like this," he said.
Ison said that while traditional journalists try to balance the importance of news against the potential for harm, cable commentators may not say things the same way.
"If you are treating it like entertainment, the news value is reduced -- and sometimes when you are ridiculing or making a person more embarrassed, the potential for harm can go up."
Now, Hill herself knows the pain of losing a child, but she says her daughter deserved a better end than the one she chose after Grace's program aired.
"She didn't know my daughter," Hill said of Grace. "She only knows what she heard. She didn't know the true Toni."
In 2006, Melinda Duckett appeared on Grace's show after her 2-year-old son Trenton went missing. The host accused Duckett of hiding information. After the taping, Duckett shot herself, and relatives alleged Grace's badgering and other media scrutiny were factors in the suicide.
In 2010, the family of Melinda Duckett reached a settlement with Nancy Grace requiring she establish a $200,000 trust dedicated to finding her missing son.
FOX 9 News attempted to contact Grace's publicist about this story, but did not get a response.

ORLANDO, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) -- At first glance, 9-year-old Addison Santana looks like any other boy his age, doing what boys do -- roughhousing and showing off. But Addison's reality is life in a wheelchair.
He has been unable to move his legs since birth, due to a rare neuromuscular skeletal disorder called arthogryposis which occurs in the uterus, limiting mobility. Right now, the family has a wheelchair lift on the family's truck; but soon, mom won't be able to lift Addison. Plus, Addison needs his independence, the family says.
This past year has been especially difficult. The family lives at the grandparents' home now, and dad's got a new job on the road as a trucker.
They don't qualify for Social Security assistance, because dad works. Addison can't get Medicaid assistance, because the state doesn't recognize arthogryposis as a lifelong disability.
According to statistical data, it's unlikely Addison will ever walk, but a handicap accessible van would help, which is why mom has entered an online contest where a van is the prize.
You can vote for Addison. The family says a vote for Addison is a vote that will really make a difference.

The amount of support time needed to deal with these customers from putting in ACLs to the resolvers would run into the many many thousands of staff-hours.
As we were affected by a somewhat similar attack (a DNS amplification DDoS but with different mechanics, bouncing queries off of CPE with open forwarding resolvers) last year we drop TYPE=ANY queries (I've yet to see a legitimate production query of that type ever) and rate-limit queries but access lists on the servers would require such a huge expense that its not likely to happen any time soon.

In preparation for hurricane season beginning on June 1, Polk County Tourism and Sports Marketing and Polk County Emergency Management have again partnered with Publix Super Markets to produce and distribute the "Polk County Public Shelters" map for 2013. This annual map is designed to assist both resident and tourist evacuees in finding shelter during an impending storm.
"In the event a hurricane threatens Central Florida, we will work closely with our accommodations partners to determine the supply of available accommodations. This information is critical in helping evacuees find available lodging. We want our guests to have a safe and pleasant experience, in spite of the circumstances," said Mark Jackson, director of Polk County Tourism and Sports Marketing (PCTSM). PCTSM relays this vital information to Polk County Emergency Management (PCEM) and area lodging facilities. PCEM uses this data to decide when and where to open shelters, once area accommodations reach capacity. Evacuees can then be directed to open shelters using the "Polk County Public Shelters" map, which lists shelter locations on one side and directions to those shelters on the other. The map also provides sources of emergency information, important telephone numbers and a list of recommended items to include in a "3-Day Survival Kit".
The 2013 map includes 43 shelters, three of which are designated as "Special Needs Shelters", for residents with medical or physical conditions that would require special assistance during an emergency. Pre-registration is recommended, by contacting Polk County Emergency Management at 863-298-7027.
Three additional shelters have been designated as "Pet Friendly", with pets being limited to dogs, cats and birds only. Specific requirements apply at "Pet Friendly" shelters, so it is advised to check those requirements in advance. It should be noted that not every shelter may be opened during a particular storm, so evacuees are advised to confirm that a specific shelter has been activated prior to going there.
The public shelters maps are available at: Polk County's official visitor information center, Polk Outpost 27 (101 Adventure Court, Davenport, FL) located ½ mile south of I-4 on Highway 27; libraries across Polk County and at Publix Super Markets in Polk County by the end of May. The map, printed in red this year, contains updated information for 2013. Residents are advised to discard older maps of different colors.
Area lodging facilities and chambers of commerce have also received a supply of maps to keep on hand for distribution to evacuees in the event of a storm. In addition, the maps will be available at Polk County's annual Hurricane Expo on Saturday, June 1, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lake Eva Hall (799 Johns Avenue) in Haines City.
For more information about the Hurricane Expo, visit www.polk-county.net/HurricaneExpo. A PDF copy of the shelters map is available online at www.polk-county.net.

Having already lost tight end Jermichael Finley to a head injury, it seems as though the Green Bay Packers may now have to carry on against the Cincinnati Bengals without running back James Starks. Starks left the game with an knee injury early in the third quarter and his return is questionable, according to the team.
Starting halfback Eddie Lacy did not suit up for the Packers after suffering a concussion in Week 2, meaning rookie Johnathan Franklin is the only remaining active back on-hand for Green Bay. A fourth-round selection out of UCLA, Franklin hasn't wasted time making his presence felt. He rushed for a two-yard touchdown early in the second half and currently has 20 yards on four carries.
Starks had 55 yards on 14 carries before being forced out. He was impressive filling in after Lacy's exit last week, going for 132 yards and a touchdown against the Washington Redskins.

The Northwestern Wildcats' 24-14 halftime lead over the Michigan Wolverines disappeared in the third quarter. Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson took the Wolverines on an eight-play, 80-yard drive to start the third quarter. It ended with Robinson take a two-yard run into the end zone. He chewed four minutes off the clock.
The Wolverines defense forced Northwestern into a three-and-out on the ensuing drive. Robinson started to direct another drive down the field, but he left the field with an apparent left arm injury. Quarterback Devin Gardner completed the drive and rushed for a one-yard touchdown run.
Robinson came back in for the next Michigan drive, which ended with Michael Shaw cracking the goal line from two yards out. Michigan leads, 35-24, in the fourth quarter.

Sosa was ejected in the first inning of Tuesday night's game between the Chicago Cubs and Tampa Bay Devil Rays by home plate umpire Tim McClelland because he had cork in his bat.
"What happened today was something that was never meant to happen," Sosa said. "I just took the wrong bat."
The Cubs had runners at second and third with one out when Sosa grounded out to second base, driving in a run. His bat split upon impact and Devil Rays catcher Toby Hall picked up half and tossed it toward McClelland.
"I turned it over and there was a half dollar-sized piece of cork in the bat, halfway up the barrel," McClelland said. "I felt it and it was cork."
McClelland called the other three umpires over to examine it.
"I wanted to make sure the crew knew it was cork," McClelland said. "We all agreed it was cork."
The umpires then showed the bat fragment to Cubs manager Dusty Baker.
"The first thing that went out of my mouth was 'Oh, no.' That's it," Baker said. "There's not a whole bunch to say. Just wait for the league office (to rule)."
Third base umpire Lance Barksdale took the tainted bat into the umpires' room. The runners were sent back to the bases and Sosa was thrown out of the game.
"It's a bat I used in batting practice," Sosa said. "I don't use that in the game. It's something that I take the blame for. It was a mistake, I know that. I feel sorry. I apologize to everybody. I'm embarrassed. I take the blame for it."
Sosa, who did not argue McClelland's call, was declared out, violating rule 6.06(d), which states a runner is out when "he uses or attempts to use a bat that, in the umpire's judgement, has been altered or tampered with in such a way to improve the distance factor or cause an unusual reaction on the baseball." That includes bats that are "filled, flat-surfaced, nailed, hollowed, grooved."
Why would Sosa have such a bat to begin with?
"Batting practice, just to put on a show for the fans," he said. "I like to make people happy and I do that in batting practice."
So how did it get in the rack of game day bats?
"I was just trying to get ready for the game," Sosa said, "and I just picked the wrong bat."
Major League Baseball security confiscated all of Sosa's bats Tuesday.
"They took all of them. All of them," Sosa said.
"The way I heard the clubhouse was surrounded, you would think they were looking for the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list guys," Baker said.
This was all new to Baker.
"I've never seen a corked bat," Baker said. "I've been in baseball 30-something years and I have never seen a corked bat. I've heard guys corking bats. I've heard a lot of things but I have not seen it."
Sosa, who became the 18th member of the 500 club on April 4 when he hit his 500th home run and first of the season, entered the game batting .285 and was 2-for-15 in three games since being activated from the disabled list. He missed three weeks after having his right big toenail removed May 10.
"I just hope this event, whatever it was, doesn't tarnish his career and take away what Sammy Sosa has done for baseball and for Chicago," Baker said.
"I understand that it's hard right now," Sosa said of his fans' reaction. "I apologize. That's the only thing I can say from the bottom of my heart. I guarantee you I never used anything illegal. I just said I picked the wrong bat. That's it."
"Sammy's sad about it," teammate Lenny Harris said. "He came in here and thought he let everybody down. The guy's got like four or five hundred bats in his locker so he pulls one out and unfortunately it was that one. He admitted he made a mistake and he's going to have to put up with what needs to be done."
The last Major League player ejected for a corked bat was Wilton Guerrero, whose bat shattered in a game June 1, 1997, when he was a rookie with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He received an eight-game suspension and $1,000 fine.
Albert Belle's bat was confiscated July 15, 1994, when Gene Lamont, then the Chicago White Sox manager, was tipped off and alerted the umpires. Belle, then a member of the Cleveland Indians, received a 10-game suspension, which was reduced to seven upon appeal. He was not caught using the bat.
Houston's Billy Hatcher was ejected from a Sept. 1, 1987, game against the Cubs when the barrel of his bat split, revealing it had been corked. Hatcher said he was unaware it had been corked and had borrowed the bat from pitcher Dave Smith. Hatcher was suspended for 10 days.
Ironically, Hatcher watched Tuesday's incident from the Devil Rays dugout. The Rays' first base coach, Hatcher was asked to comment on Tuesday night's episode with Sosa, but declined.
"It's totally different," Hatcher said. "You've got to talk to Sammy about that."
Sosa, 34, has hit 292 home runs over the last five years and is the only player in big league history to have three 60-homer seasons.
Baker hoped the Cubs could put it behind them.
"We're not gong to keep talking about it, we're not going to dwell on it," Baker said. "We have no choice. We still have to go play. These games still count."
By the way, the Cubs beat the Devil Rays 3-2 Tuesday night.

If their residence in Los Altos was searched, why are they being named as "East Palo Alto" residents? Seems to me if they live in Los Altos then they are Los Altos residents.

The article states that they were arrested in Los Altos, not that they live in Los Altos.
I thought it sad that drugs were involved, since that is probably the reason for the burglaries.

Roger Simon: Blood on his hands, victory in his sights
He will say anything to advance the agenda of the National Rifle Association, which he runs, and he doesn't worry about his critics. Under his leadership, the NRA has grown and today is one of the most feared lobbies on Capitol Hill.
I should point out that, unlike Dracula, LaPierre neither kills people nor drinks their blood. It is just my personal belief that the NRA's gun mania has led to the slaughter of thousands of innocent men, women and children in this country.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is now spending $12 million of his own money on TV ads to combat the NRA and LaPierre. The ads are calm and reasonable. In one, a hunter in a plaid shirt, cradling a shotgun, says, "I support comprehensive background checks so criminals and the dangerously mentally ill can't buy guns."
But to LaPierre, "calm and reasonable" is the same as "weak." Bloomberg "can't spend enough of his $27 billion to try to impose his will on the American public," LaPierre sneered on "Meet the Press" Sunday. "They don't want him telling them what food to eat; they sure don't want him telling them what self-defense firearms to own. And he can't buy America!"
All anyone really has to buy, however, is Congress. LaPierre knows how to intimidate senators. He tells them that the "NRA's nearly 5 million members and America's 100 million gun owners" will not vote for legislators in 2014 who are trying to grab their assault rifles, limit the size of their ammo clips or create universal background checks that will, as LaPierre tells them, lead the government "to tax" and "to take" their weapons.
To LaPierre, the war over guns is a class war. "Political elites," he said in a recent speech, "insult, denigrate and call us crazy. In their distorted view of the world, they are smarter than we are. They are special and more worthy than we are."
LaPierre doesn't always win. Bill Clinton, who knew how to speak to what were then called "Bubba" voters, beat him and signed an assault weapons ban in 1993. But that ban expired in 2003. Barack Obama wants it back, as do Bloomberg and several senators. But not enough senators. Not nearly enough.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who has pretty much bobbled gun legislation this year, has something like 40 to 45 votes for the ban, far short of the 60 he needs for passage. So he has thrown the assault weapons ban under the bus. It will not be part of Reid's "base" bill. Instead, it will be offered as an amendment that Reid knows will fail.
The ban on high-capacity gun magazines is also not in the base bill, but there is some hope for it. "It is uphill on gun magazines," a source told me. "We are in the 40s (on senators willing to vote for it). By adjusting the number of rounds allowed in the clips, we can get to 50 votes, and maybe then we can get to 60."
The items that have a reasonably good chance of passing the Senate are the "unsexy" ones that get little attention: making gun trafficking a federal crime and providing more money for fencing, security cameras, metal detectors, psychological counseling and, perhaps, armed guards at some schools.
Universal background checks might also make it, but most likely only if there are privacy provisions to keep the press and public from knowing the names of gun owners.
Does all this seem like somewhat of a letdown after the terrible tragedy at Newtown? Weren't we expecting more from our lawmakers?
A source familiar with White House thinking told me the President is going to use his "bully pulpit" for gun control in the days ahead and Joe Biden will seriously jawbone senators when they return from their spring break.
"It's about intensity," the source said. "A majority of people are for gun control in America, but the NRA has intensity. A billionaire spends money on ads, but will that change things? Senators want to know what their phones calls are like, their letters, their emails, their social media and whether people are going to town meetings.
"People can still rise up. Don't write the obit for gun control yet."

This game is a challenge. A real one. And that's one of its highlights. If you love challenge and real time strategy, this game is something you should consider.
With a very British tongue-in-cheek approach to the construction business, what we have here is a very unique mix of Sim City and Dungeon Keeper. Sure this game requires a lot of micromanagement, but the array of optionsread more you're give is pretty broad. You can't only attack the enemy head on. You can pull a whole array of dirty tricks on them: clowns, hippies, thugs, mobsters... anything to claim that piece of land in the downtown area. Build, conquer and build more... that's all this game is about, but that's really enough.
Constructor is a true underdog - long forgotten, but still amazingly fun to play nowadays. Two thumbs up.

This is one REALLY frustrating game, because trying to handle at once the tenants, competition and hippies is like a road through hell... However, it is probably the funniest road to hell ever :) I've been trying to find this game for years and now finally here it is, little Christmas for me :) I really recommend this one, you can easily find yourself to become addicted to this title!

Probably the game I've been most looking forward to seeing on gog.com - it's simply the most entertaining building game ever.
Prepare for tenants complaining though - they happen to do that every now and then. ;-)

About Chad Sellhorst
With the cost of a transplant often exceeding $500,000, many transplant families are unable to shoulder the financial burden of such a procedure. The Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA) is a national charity dedicated to organizing and guiding communities in raising funds for transplant-related expenses. In Kansas City, volunteers are raising funds for COTA in honor of transplant patients like local man, Chad Sellhorst.
Chad is the son of David and Cheryl Sellhorst. Born on February 14, 1990, Chad was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. The doctors at University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis have recommended a life-saving double lung transplant. An estimated $100,000 is being raised by volunteers in Kansas City/Omaha/St. Louis and surrounding areas.

The Skin Cancer Guide: Part 1
Freckle, Mole, or Cancer?
Heather Fraelick
Gloucester, Massachusetts
Diagnosed with melanoma at 25
Recurrence at 27
Now healthy at 29
Heather Fraelick was 25 when she noticed the pink, raised spot on her right forearm. "It looked like a bug bite," she says, but when it bled and didn't seem to heal she went to the dermatologist. The bump didn't have the classic look of a melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer --but it was. "I was absolutely shocked, and I learned how deadly melanoma can be if it isn't caught early," she says. "It was much more invasive than I expected, which was really frightening." A surgeon removed the lesion as well as five lymph nodes under her arm. Luckily, all were cancer-free, which meant it hadn't spread.
Two years later, though, she noticed a tiny freckle on the scar. The melanoma had recurred, but the surgeon was able to successfully remove it. As an athlete who played sports for years without sunscreen and visited the tanning salon before her prom, Fraelick, now 29, has learned her lesson. Although she lives on the ocean in Gloucester, Massachusetts, she never goes outdoors without wearing protective clothing and plenty of sunscreen.
Lee Cavanaugh is glad she had a recurring blemish on her hairline checked out. "I was shocked that it was skin cancer because I was only 32," says the New York City interior designer. She had the basal-cell tumor removed surgically and now she's examined by her doctor every six months. "No more basking in the sun. I'm into sunless tanners now," she says.
Fraelick's and Cavanaugh's stories aren't rare. Doctors are seeing more and more skin cancer among people in their 20s and 30s. "When I was a resident, skin cancer wasn't a disease young people got," says James M. Spencer, MD, a dermatologist in St. Petersburg, Florida. "Now I see it in somebody every month." The rates in 40- and 50-year-olds continue to rise, too. He speculates that increased UV exposure is to blame. "Your grandmother didn't fly to Jamaica for a vacation, and she sure didn't go to a tanning salon, either," he adds.
No matter your age, skin color, or sun habits, early detection is key. Follow our guidelines for keeping an eye on your (and your family's) skin. Then make an appointment if anything seems vaguely suspicious. It could save your life!

Enhancements made to STARDOM network-based control system
As the oil price and energy demand continue to rise, capital investment has been strong in oil and natural gas projects as well as in such industries as chemicals and iron and steel. Since these facilities can be located across a wide area, there is a growing demand for monitoring and control systems that can link these widely distributed facilities via an open network. Likewise, chemical plants and iron and steel works need monitoring and control systems that can achieve high reliability levels and throughput rates, while featuring compatibility with an open network and a no-frills system configuration. The company responded to these latest market trends and user needs with an upgrade to its STARDOM control system that features newly developed pulse width output modules and enhanced network and communication functions. This upgrade strengthens the capabilities of the control system, which is optimized for high-speed distributed control over a wide area and enables its use in combination with the CENTUM distributed control system (DCS), which is designed for large-scale main processes. STARDOM is an open network control system comprised of function-specific control, operation, and monitoring components that can be interconnected flexibly and on a scaleable basis using networking technology. The system features the same high reliability and supportability of a DCS while having the openness, versatility, and cost-effectiveness of systems that combine PCs, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other devices. STARDOM is widely used in the control of shared-use plant facilities, including boilers and compressors.

In Burlington County, New Jersey, a new change to an old formula has lots of parents upset.
The Bordentown Regional School District celebrated Halloween today
with kids in costumes parading at both its elementary schools, but it's a
decision impacting a couple of other holidays, that has some parents
Like to hear a beautiful religious carol during the Christmas season? Or, for that matter, a Hanukah tune or Kwanzaa selection?
You won't find it at this year's winter concerts at either of Bordentown Regional Elementary Schools.
"We're not happy about it. We're all celebrating holidays together,
you know, whether you celebrate Kwanzaa or Hanukah or Christmas, it's
our holiday. It's been around forever. It's our tradition." Joe Sergio, a
parent said.
A message on the district homepage from Superintendent Constance
Bauer tells parents that some musical selections at elementary winter
concerts led to a legal review, and a decision that "religious music
should not be part of the elementary programs."
Most parents we talked to were aware of the message and nearly all had an opinion. Some supported the religious music ban.
Others told us they were fine with even more religious selections given the time of year.
One parent told us the folks who had questioned the selections had
been revealed and were the subject of nasty comments from other moms and
The district's online message suggests the ban impacts only the two elementary schools.
We wanted a further clearer explanation, but Bruce's repeated calls to superintendent Bauer's office were not returned.

|101-year-old has 'been there, done that'
|Tuesday, July 02, 2013 11:59 PM
Staff Writer
It was July 4, 1912, when this little firecracker came into the world. A time when a new car sold for $650, a loaf of bread cost 4 cents and a gallon of gas was 11 cents. Compared to today's prices, those costs seem unbelievable; however, the average monthly take home pay was only $1,260.
She was a coal miner's daughter who learned to live off the land in an oil- and coal-rich countryside. Her family grew and canned much of their own vegetables, slaughtered and smoked the meat of their own farm animals and made enough food for a huge Sunday dinner that would feed the family through the later part of the week.
"My Dad began working in the mines when he was 9 years old," Dupler sifted through the images in her mind. "I remember all the slack piles (residuals washed off the coal) and huge coal piles."
After graduating from high school, Dupler married and started a family—she had three girls—and not long after the youngest child was born, she divorced and took a job at the Egg Auction.
"I walked five miles to work in the snow, rain and with ice on the roads and it was pitch black," Dupler said with vigor. "Then I walked five miles back home."
The girls were taken care of by their grandmother while Dupler worked. There weren't monetary payments in the form of alimony or child support, since they did not exist at that time.
Living in the foothills of the Appalachian region, technology was slow to come to the area. Cars, telephones and televisions were truly a luxury. Dupler walked the steep, hilly terrain for four years to and from her work in Nelsonville before she bought her first car.
"I cried once, while I walked to work," she said emphatically. "I made up my mind that I was not going to cry anymore."
After the Egg Auction moved to Somerset, Ohio, Dupler traveled there for work each day. In 1958, she was offered an inspector's position at Gressel Produce by the owner Phil Gressel.
"He [Phil] was just getting started when he offered me the job," she recalled.
Dupler moved to Delphos in 1959 with her youngest daughter, Nancy (Hawk) Rosen, who was a high school senior at the time and attended Jefferson Senior High, which is now Jefferson Middle School.
Delphos had much more to offer the family—a job with the State of Ohio and the conveniences of living in a small town versus in the rolling hills of a countryside. Dupler's job was to inspect and double-check all the eggs that passed through a huge candling machine.
"I held two eggs in each hand and twisted them around, checking the shape," Dupler said. "The shell would indicate if it was a good egg."
Dupler spent the rest of her career at Gressel Produce and retired in the early 1980s. As a member of the Methodist Church, Dupler spent a great deal of time volunteering at the Interfaith Thrift Store. She now resides in Vancrest Health Care Center and loves having people drop by to reminisce about working at Gressel's, the Thrift Store or any other topic of interest.
Currently, Dupler's family includes five generations: three daughters; nine grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and eight great-great-grandchildren.

The No. 19 Virginia Cavaliers had few problems defeating the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Wednesday night, 68-44. Mike Scott scored 19 points for the Cavaliers, a game-high total. He made all nine shots he took from the field.
The Cavaliers shot nearly 54 percent from the field and made 5-of-11 three-point shots. Joe Harris scored 11 points while Akil Mitchell, Jontel Evans and Malcolm Brogdon each added 10 points.
Travis McKie scored 16 points for Wake Forest, hitting on 4-of-7 seven shots. But it was a bad night shooting for the majority team: they shot 34 percent from the field. The team committed 17 turnovers, as well.
The Cavaliers travel to the Dean E. Smith Center on Saturday for a contest against the North Carolina Tar Heels, a team coming off a last-second loss against the Duke Blue Devils.

METAIRIE, La. — Saints offensive tackle Charles Brown spent the early part of Thursday's organized team activity session in rehabilitation conditioning drills.
Coach Sean Payton didn't clarify the extent of the injury, but said that it happened in the weight room this offseason.
When asked about elaborating on how Brown injured himself, Payton said, "I don't really want to talk about injuries until fall."
Jason Smith, who the Saints acquired this offseason, played with the first team offense at left tackle with Brown sitting out.
Meanwhile, linebackers Jonathan Vilma and David Hawthorne didn't participate while safety Malcolm Jenkins sat out during team drills.
Safety Roman Harper sat out the first part of practice before going through drills in the last half.
Payton said, however, there were no significant injuries to report.

Women's cross country places at Mountain Dew Invitational
Sept. 7, 2007
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Complete Collegiate Women's Results
Freshman Anastasia Fokina led the JU women's cross country team for the second consecutive week as the Dolphins competed in their first 5k race of the season at the Mountain Dew Invitational, Friday evening on The University of Florida Golf Course.
The meet consisted of 21 schools from the state of Florida including Central Florida, Embry-Riddle, Flagler, Florida, Florida A&M, Florida Atlantic, Florida Gulf Coast, Florida State, Miami, North Florida, Nova Southeastern, Pasco-Hernando CC, Rollins, Saint Leo, South Florida, Stetson, Tampa, Warner, Southern, Webber and West Florida.
Fokina, who finished second at the JU Short Course Duals to open the 2007 season, finished 36th with a time of 20:02.91. Sophomore Alison Ritter also had a top 50 finish by placing 48th with a mark of 20:25.79. Sophomore Tiffanie Saxton (63rd - 20:43.79) and junior Janel Grooms (88th - 21:21.49) also placed for the Dolphins. Sophomore Alyssa Deal did not finish the race due to injury, which prevented the Dolphins from receiving a team score with at least five competitors.
The JU women's and men's squad will return to action in the JU/UNF Cross Country Relays on Sept. 14 on the North Florida campus.

Couldn't be better
Review submitted: October 9, 2009 Date of arrival: July 25, 2009
Our Home-away-home was exactly like the pictures on the website. Nicely furnished, charming and very private with a carport in a quite neighborhood. My niece and her friend are both in early twenties from Japan and they fell in love with our home right away. They took millions of pictures in the house. The welcome basket filled with fruits and bottles of water were added bonus. So we could settled in right away instead of running out for grocery shopping. Well stocked pantry and small packets of ground coffee were very helpful as well. I didn't need to buy additional coffee during our stay. The instructions and tips given to us prior to the trip by the owner were very thorough and I didn't need to bother her for help or questions.
The location of the home was perfect. It's very easy to get to Freeways to go to any directions. It seems that it takes about only 15-20 minutes to destinations like Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Hollywood. And just 5 minutes to the Universal Studios. We covered them all in 4 days. We liked to shop at Gelson's which is a few blocks down on Laurel Canyon for grocery and deli. Good restaurants in Studio City, 5-minute-drive, along Ventura Blvd.
It was great to be able to come home after a full day of sightseeing and walking every day instead of to a hotel room. It really felt like home for us. I will stay at this place when I go to Los Angeles again in the future.

Loved this Rental!
Review submitted: March 17, 2013 Date of arrival: March 10, 2013
My husband and I stayed in the upstairs duplex for a week. It was exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. It is located in a nice residential area, but still within walking distance of some businesses (such as grocery and Starbucks). The unit was very spacious, clean, nicely furnished and well-maintained. We particularly enjoyed the lovely covered porch...great place to have your morning coffee and read the paper! Helen was a great hostess and even had a welcome basket waiting for us upon arrival. Throughout our rental process, Helen was very helpful and quick to respond to emails. We would highly recommend this unit and hope we have the opportunity to stay there again.

An Oasis
Review submitted: July 6, 2012 Date of arrival: June 29, 2012
We just returned from a great extended weekend in L.A. I cannot recommend this rental property enough. There were so many wonderful touches throughout the house. The owner has thought of everything you might need from a kitchen utensils to bathroom products. The location can't be beat. You are close to Hollywood, beautiful Burbank and Pasadena, beaches, and studios. This will be the only place I want to stay on all future visits to L.A. Thanks very much!

Worth coming back to
Review submitted: July 1, 2012 Date of arrival: May 19, 2012
We stayed here on our first trip to LA in 2008 and had no qualms about coming back again. We have stayed in apartments all over Europe and the US (most of them really nice) and would say that this is without doubt the best of them all.
Helen goes to great lengths to make sure that everything is perfect. It is kept beautifully clean and is so comfortable that it feels like home as soon as you arrive. It's so well looked after that when we arrived this time, it looked exactly as it had when we were there 4 years earlier.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a good quality, comfortable base, well located to explore LA and its surroundings.

Review submitted: March 15, 2011 Date of arrival: March 2, 2011
This was my first experience with Homeaway and let me tell you, it was great. The property was just as it was stated in the advertisement. I did not have a need to speak with the owner for anything in particular, because she had all of the bases covered. Well stocked kitchen and bath, very comfortable bed. The home was decorated very very nicely. Comfortable living room furniture, just a little soiled, nothing a little spot cleaning couldn't fix, but comfortable nonetheless. I will stay here again and again. My granddaughter loved playing outside in the nicely manicured backyard. Family loved the feel of home of the apartment.

Welcoming Owner - Great Location (for us, anyway)
Review submitted: March 6, 2011 Date of arrival: February 22, 2011
This 2nd floor apartment was a most convenient location for us as we have family in the area-- and there is nearby access to the vast freeway system of LA. The owner was very responsive. On the first day, we discovered that the coffeemaker was broken and before the day was out, a new one had been place in the kitchen. There was also a welcoming bowl with fruit, cookies and microwave popcorn. The place was clean and comfortable. Best of all, the water pressure in the shower was great (a big plus for me, even though it is rarely mentioned in reviews). The small but workable kitchen was well stocked with utensils and dishes. There was a nice front covered deck with a small table and couch that would be lovely in warmer weather.

Review submitted: August 31, 2010 Date of arrival: August 24, 2010
The apartment looks exactly like on the pictures. We have an 11 month old baby and the owner made sure to have a fold out bed and a booster seat ready for her.
The fruit basket, bottled water, cookies and coffee were there, so we only needed to buy a couple of other things in the grocery store that is just around the corner.
The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare your meal, which you can enjoy on your private terrace.
Location is perfect. Apartment was nice and clean.
If we ever go back to LA we will absolutely stay here again.

What a find.
Review submitted: August 25, 2010 Date of arrival: July 24, 2010
What a fabulous find. The owner has thought of everything you could possibly need whilst on vacation. Everything was of high quality and we felt well cared for. We spent 4 weeks here during July and August and it was a lovely home to come back to at the end of the day. It is situated very conveniently for access to all of the main roads you would need to get around LA but situated itself in a very quiet spot. The porch made a lovely seating area in the morning and evening to watch the hummingbirds come to the feeder and see the local squirrels at play. Would love to go back in the future.

My wife, seven month old infant and I stayed at the Valley Village garden suite for a week. It was a wonderful experience. The apartment was fully furnished, allowing us to prepare food for our baby easily and to even host some small dinners and a brunch with family and friends who dropped by. I personally enjoyed the patio overlooking the front garden -- trees, squirrels and tasteful furniture to take in the sights with. The covered garage also kept the car cool, which was also important for the baby. All in all, we highly recommend this vacation home to those interested in a comfortable and private alternative to a hotel stay in the L.A. region.

The house had everything we needed, even a hair dryer in the bathroom and cable television!
I would deffinately recommend staying here!

Inmate Telephone Services and Systems – Things You Should Know
Inmate telephone services and systems are specially used in prisons and inmate centers where criminals are supposed to serve their sentences. These systems let the inmates keep in touch with their families and maintain healthy relationships with them. It is necessary that inmates maintain proper relationship with their family so it will not lead to mental disorders due to lack of emotional support.
The primary concern of the jail staff would be security issues. These inmate telephone systems allow the jail staff to access and monitor the call history of all the inmates. This ensures safe communication between inmates and outsiders. Apart from having the features of regular telephone services, this system offers the following additional features:
- Free calls to legal counsel, crises hotlines and public defenders
- Live phone call monitoring and recording
- Call disconnection and emergency remote inmate telephone system shutdown – riot protection
- Call number blocking
- Local and international calling
- Red flag telephone call alerting
There are ways to get around some of these restrictions, you can learn more in our inmate phone call guide.

This CD is perfect for any Staind fan as well as anyone that just likes great music. A decade of favorites and some excellent acoustic tracks from the Hiro Ballroom are included in this collection making this disc an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. I say it is a must have and I encourage anyone to pick it up.

When I first heard that Staind was coming out with a greatest hits album, I was a bit surprised because it hit me from left field. Once I heard that it included several live acoustic tracks from a "secret" concert held in NYC in September, I was very excited. (Of course, I was a bit upset that I missed that concert considering I was eating dinner at a restaurant upstairs!!) The CD has some great songs. Yes, they could've put a few more, but then it would just be a box set of all their CDs!
One of the tracks that shocked me was "Come Again". I was thrilled it was included because it gives new listeners a chance to hear Staind's older stuff. A very different and amazing sound! I would say that my favorite part of this collection is the live acoustic songs that were included. Staind sounds incredible acoustic. Their cover of Tool's "Sober" is breath-taking. The power behind Aaron Lewis' voice and the rest of the guy's instruments is phenomenal. There is a version at Best Buy that has a few Bonus Acoustic Tracks. This is a MUST HAVE for any true fan or new fan. Do yourself a favor and go buy it RIGHT NOW! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
Why bother with making your own compilation CD, this Staind CD has it all on one disc and it was on my doorstep 2 days after I ordered. Worth every penny.
Staind is definitely one of the best and most important bands in modern rock music. I've been a fan since '99 and have every album (including the out-of-print "Tormented" album). Any way, the band is about to take a year or 2 off since they've been recording and touring non-stop for 10 years. AND after only 5 albums, they already have a rather large bundle of hits and singles under their belt, so it makes since that they would release a "best of" compilation just in time for Christmas. Now normally when a band releases a compilation album, they might title it "The Best Of" or "Greatest Hits" which would suggest that only the biggest hit songs will be on there. But this collection is titled "The Singles: 1996-2006″, so I would expect that every single would be accounted for. Sadly, a few singles and 1 big hit are missing from this collection.
First, let's start with what the album DOES have to offer. It begins with a remix of "Come Again" which was originally on the band's independently released "Tormented" album from 1996. It's cool to here if you don't own the album or if you wanna hear a slightly different version of one of the songs from that CD. Next, you have "Mudshovel" (the band's first big hit) and "Home" from their 1999 album, "Dysfunction." These are great songs, and you're certain to enjoy these tunes from the darker side of Staind. Then the popular "Break The Cycle" album from 2001 is represented with hit songs like "It's Been Awhile", "For You" and "Epiphany." There's also the popular acoustic version of "Outside" that lead singer Aaron Lewis performed with Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit during the 1999 Family Values Tour. Then, from 2003's "14 Shades Of Grey" you'll find songs like "Price To Play", "So Far Away" and "Zoe Jane" (which is a good song but I was never aware that it was a single.) Finally, last year's "Chapter V" album is represented with "Right Here", "Falling" and an acoustic version of "Everything Changes". However, the CD doesn't end there! For those hardcore Staind fans who already own all the albums, you'll get some bonus acoustic cover songs on here…"Comfortably Numb" (Pink Floyd), "Sober" (Tool) and "Nutshell" (my favorite Alice In Chains tune). These are very good acoustic covers, especially "Nutshell". They make the album worth getting if you already own everything else.
Now it's time to go over what this CD is lacking. First, "Just Go" from the Dysfunction album is no where to be found. It wasn't a big hit, but I do believe it got some radio play and may have even been the first single from that album…good song. Then from Break The Cycle, we don't have "Fade" (a VERY big hit for the band) or the studio version of "Outside" (which was equally as popular as the live acoustic version found on here). Next, missing from 14 Shades Of Grey is "How About You", which wasn't a big hit but it got radio play and just happened to be my favorite song from that album. And from Chapter V, they decided to put an acoustic version of "Everything Changes" on here rather than the studio version that was played on the radio. But I suppose this version is just as good.
So yes, this album is missing quite a bit, but only 1 or 2 major songs aren't found on here. It's still a nice compilation, especially for the bonus songs. As a Staind fan, I have to be honest that some of the band's best stuff never went to radio. I think after "Its Been Awhile" became such a huge hit, the record company kept forcing out slow ballads like "So Far Away" and "Right Here" in order to recapture that success (which may have worked). But I think it's too bad that Staind's REAL style (angsty hard rock) is barely shown on here. This album is a good introduction to the band, but it's mostly meant for the people that just follow whatever they hear on the radio. If you wanna hear some of Staind's BEST stuff, listen to their individual albums to here great songs like "Suffocate", "Crawl", "Pressure", "How About You", "Paper Jesus" and "King Of All Excuses".
You wouldn't have expected any less, would you? Staind have officially been around for ten years. Five albums into their career, four of which are full of memorable hits, it makes sense that Staind are putting out a "Singles" collection. It also makes sense because like Cold, Nonpoint, Taproot and P.O.D. before them, Staind are apparently severing ties with their record label, Atlantic. What a perfect escape route!
Sounds Like: A contractual obligation.
The Good:
- Well, it's Staind and so long as you're a fan, these songs will always be good.
- Even if you own all the albums, there are more than a few extras thrown your way. In addition to the Family Values 1999 version of "Outside" replacing the rather bland studio version, there are also four live and acoustic tracks (three of which are covers!)
The Bad:
- The omission of "Just Go" (why do they always ignore that song?), "Fade" and "How About You."
Hits: Well, they're all hits, but for the fans, the acoustic numbers are where it's at. "Nutshell," an Alice In Chains cover, stands far and above the rest. There have been many bands performing this song in the past (I have recordings of Seether, Cold, Shinedown and Adema doing it) but no one has done it as beautifully and effortlessly as Aaron Lewis and company. "Sober" and "Comfortably Numb," Tool and Pink Floyd covers respectively, are great as well, in addition to the acoustic rendition of "Everything Changes." Hell, they even threw in a souped up version of "Come Again" from their 1996 indie album, "Tormented," in case you don't own it already.
Misses: Just the songs they left off.
Personally: I've been a Staind fan since "Dysfunction" and this collection does the band justice. I can forgive what they left out mainly because I own all that stuff already and because the unreleased material is worth the while. Few bands are as good with "Greatest Hits" as Staind are with this one. Highly recommended.
Best Listened To When: Ending a relationship with a record label.

PEKIN, Ill. -- The FBI is now assisting Pekin Police in locating a woman who was allegedly abducted by her estranged husband early Monday morning.
Pekin Police believe a Peoria Man, accused of adducting his estranged wife, is armed and dangerous.
While 45-year-old Phouvone Sophanavong does not have any prior convictions of violence, he was convicted in 2006 of drug charges.
The abduction occurred outside the woman's workplace around 5:30 a.m.
The woman is identified as Laongdao Phangthong and her estranged husband is identified as Phouvone Sophanavong.
According to Tazewell County Court Records, Sophanavong of Peoria is 5 ft. 3in, weighing 130 pounds.
Phangtong is described as 5 ft. 1 in., 95 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Police said the two have a history of domestic disputes and that she had a Peoria County order of protection against him.
Witnesses say Phangthong was forced into her car, a 2011 Black Toyota Corolla with the license plate DAOPT85.
"We have been in contact with family," said Detective Mike Eeten of the Pekin Police Department. " We served a search warrant today along with the FBI in Peoria at the suspect's home…trying to gain any information that we can to find out where they might be at or heading to."
Anyone one with information should call police at 911 or Pekin Police at (309)346-3132.
