The recent crash of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip2 in the Mojave Desert was a tragedy for the pilot that lost his life in the accident. It was also a setback for Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic, and the entire private space industry. However, for New Mexico taxpayers, it was only the latest and most vivid sign that building a Spaceport was not a wise use of tax dollars.
The transition from publicly-funded space travel (NASA) to a competitive, private-sector model was destined to be choppy and unpredictable. It is very much an open question how humans will travel safely and regularly into space in private spacecraft.
Even NASA with its multi-billion dollar budgets never quite figured out how to get humans back and forth form space routinely and regularly. The Space Shuttle was originally intended to launch as frequently as once a week. That didn't come close to happening even in the best of times.
This all leads us to New Mexico where, at the behest of then Gov. Bill Richardson, our Legislature embarked our state upon a spaceport construction project at a cost to taxpayers of $220 million and counting.
A decade after this project was undertaken we have no idea what technologies will be used to fly people to space, whether companies can make space tourism profitable, and whether New Mexicans will benefit economically even if the space tourism industry succeeds.
Unfortunately, while Branson, Rutan, and other space pioneers are putting their own money and reputations on the line to make their space enterprises successful, the folks who unwisely got New Mexico into this mess cannot be held accountable and will suffer no personal losses from their actions.
Bill Richardson is not lying awake at night wondering if New Mexico's Spaceport succeeds and I know of no legislator or other elected official who lost their race due to their unwise "investment" in the Spaceport.
This is where the Spaceport goes from isolated mistake to cautionary tale. The Spaceport has proven to be a spectacular failure in large part because the people behind it didn't have any "skin" in the game. This lack of consequences leaves politicians to make decisions based on all manner of personal and political desires.
That is not to say that private sector entrepreneurs don't fail. Indeed, if you know anything about Steve Jobs, he failed time and again as do most entrepreneurs. But they have their own money at stake and thus have the incentive to make better bets and only make bets they expect to succeed.
Just as governments should not kill businesses through high taxes and onerous regulations, government should not attempt to place bets using tax dollars on favored industries or technologies.
The Spaceport is only the most vivid failure of such government overreach in New Mexico, but we see the Rail Runner piling up ongoing losses and massive "balloon payments" due in the not-too-distant future.
The film industry which the economically-ignorant cite as a great success has actually lost $147 million for taxpayers since 2010 according to the New Mexico Legislature's own study.
In recent years, taxpayers have also lost $16 million in subsidies for Schott Solar and $19 million Eclipse Aviation.
These wasted tax dollars could have been returned to real New Mexico entrepreneurs in the form of tax cuts to produce jobs and a real economic stimulus to our state. Instead, those scarce dollars have been – and in the cases of the Rail Runner and film subsidies – continue to reduce our prosperity by taking money out of entrepreneurs' pockets and allocating it to less productive uses.
The good news is that Gov. Martinez doesn't seem inclined to grandiose spending on spaceports and trains. Hopefully, New Mexicans have learned an important lesson about the promises of politicians and, rather than government micromanagement of our economy – a tendency that has led us to our impoverished state – will support government as referee, not coach.
Paul Gessing is the President of New Mexico's Rio Grande Foundation. The Rio Grande Foundation is an independent, non-partisan, tax-exempt research and educational organization dedicated to promoting prosperity for New Mexico based on principles of limited government, economic freedom and individual responsibility
The following article by Dr. Deane Waldman appeared in the Albuquerque Journal on November 16, 2014. RGF president Paul Gessing offered his own thoughts on the Think New Mexico proposal in this blog posting.
Recently in the Journal, my friend and colleague Dr. Barry Ramo spoke glowingly of Think New Mexico's plan to improve health care in the Land of Enchantment. Unfortunately, the plan, hatched by our own homegrown policy think tank, is off base.
In fact, it brings to mind the famous aphorism, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." Think New Mexico is smoothing our way to a blisteringly hot place where we do not want to go.
Their plan advocates enactment of new rules and regulations to:
1. "Require transparency of hospital prices and risk-adjusted quality indicators…"
2. "Outlaw price discrimination…"
3. "Prohibit gag clauses…"
4. "Seek a federal waiver so that Medicaid will pay the same prices as private payers."
The people at Think New Mexico say they want to restore free market forces with its manifold advantages to the "market" of New Mexico health care.
Freeing the market in health care is a very good idea. What they propose is the opposite.
A highly regulated, tightly controlled free market is a contradiction in terms. You either control a market or let it do its thing. Note the action verbs in Think New Mexico's first three proposals: require, outlaw and prohibit. They are about as controlling as any words I know.
In the free market, there are no external controls on the two players: Consumers choose to spend or not, and sellers compete. No third party makes decisions for them.
There should be some regulation of the market as a whole, but no mandates as to what specific consumers and sellers can do or cannot do. A free market does not have some who are required to follow the rules while others are exempt.
There are no free market forces when buyers are required by law to buy a specific, government-approved product and only that; where sellers are told what to sell and at what price; and where a third party pays the bill.
The people at Think New Mexico no doubt mean well. Nonetheless, the group is paving the road to hell.
They say they want to "free" the market, yet propose to do so by increasing the number of rules, regulations and restrictions!
You cannot reduce regulatory constraints on a market by adding more regulations. You cannot cure cancer using cancer.
Getting useful comparative shopping information into the hands of consumers would be necessary in a truly free market. But first, consumers need control of and responsibility for their own money. They need to be making the spend/not spend decision rather than the government.
It gets worse. "Price" in health care is a meaningless term.
Everywhere else, price is what the consumer pays to the seller. In health care, the consumer doesn't pay, and no one pays what the price tag reads. Payment is decided by the federal government, rather than through the balancing mechanism of negotiation between buyer and seller.
So the consumer gets useless information and cannot economize because the spend/not spend decision is made by someone else. That is not a free market.
On the supply side of a free market, various sellers compete for consumers' dollars based on the true price (cost to customer), features, and quality. Not so in health care, where the market is tightly controlled.
The government, not the seller, sets prices and quality standards. There is no competition between the various sellers of goods and services.
There is competition in one place in health care: between insurance carriers. They compete strictly on price and then make their profit by delaying, deferring and denying the care we need.
Health care is the antithesis of a free market. Think New Mexico's plan will not make it one. Though the group's ostensible intentions are laudable, their implementation plan is deeply flawed. It will only smooth our descent to an overly warm clime.
Dr. Deane Waldman, author of "The Cancer In Healthcare," is an adjunct scholar for the Rio Grande Foundation.
(Albuquerque, NM) —The Rio Grande Foundation today joined with 375 trade associations and chambers from 50 states representing a wide range of industries to voice strong concerns with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' flawed proposed rule to dramatically expand the scope of federal authority over water and land uses across the U.S. and called for the proposal to be withdrawn. The effort was led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The comments are available here.
The rule is simply an attempt by Washington, D.C., bureaucrats to take over the economies and the livelihoods of everyone in the western U.S. It has little to do with environmental protection, and everything to do with a political takeover of our most precious resource – making everyone in the west dependent and beholden to Washington bureaucrats.
As the groups' comments state, "The proposed rule is really about the Agencies' overreaching attempt to replace longstanding state and local control of land uses near water with centralized federal control. In light of the overwhelming evidence that the proposed rule would have a devastating impact on businesses, states, and local governments without any real benefit to water quality, the Agencies should immediately withdraw the waters of the U.S. proposal and begin again. The current proposed rule is simply too procedurally and legally flawed to repair."
The comments detail several examples of the impacts of the proposed rule, including:
Before our debate in Las Cruces (and thus before the election or the Virgin Galactic crash), I sat down to discuss the issues of the day with former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Alan Webber for a discussion with Fred Martino on KRWG's Newsmakers.
Before our debate in Las Cruces (and thus before the election or the Virgin Galactic crash), I sat down to discuss the issues of the day with former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Alan Webber for a discussion with Fred Martino on KRWG's Newsmakers.
I was asked by KRQE Channel 13 to discuss efforts by the federal government to take funds from Toby Martinez' (who stole from taxpayers in the Municipal Courthouse scandal alongside Manny Aragon) pension in order to fulfill Martinez' restitution requirements. Unfortunately, according to my reading of New Mexico law, the Feds can't tap Martinez' pension under New Mexico law despite his criminal conviction. Astonishingly, according to the report, Martinez' pension is worth upwards of $473,000 which is illustrative of the incredible generosity of New Mexico's underfunded pension systems.
Watch the full interview below:
In the wake of the Republican takeover of the New Mexico House, the talk has begun over whether or not the Legislature will seriously consider adopting a Right to Work law.
Our friends at the Heartland Institute have some excellent research and information on right to work and its potential impact on New Mexico (including research from RGF).
Lastly, I had a letter to the editor in the Albuquerque Journal's Business section on Monday which may have been missed amid all the election activity:
Letters to the Editor
Albuquerque Business Journal
In his column on right to work laws, Marshall Martin concludes that "there is little question having right to work may signify that a state is business friendly, one cannot be certain that having right to work is the deciding factor…"
That is a true enough statement. In the real world, "scientific" studies of economic systems don't work. "Proof" that right to work is indeed good for the economy is as elusive as is "proof" that any law or system works.
What we do know is that eight out of 10 of the fastest growing states in 2013 were right to work. We also know that between 1977 and 2008, right to work states produced 44.5% more jobs and saw per-capita personal incomes grow 10% faster than states that do not have such laws in place.
Of course, right to work is not only an economic issue. It is a freedom issue. Workers shouldn't have to join unions or pay union dues if they don't want to.
It is true that no single economic policy change made by New Mexico's Legislature is our ticket to prosperity, but a right to work law – which unlike most other "economic development" schemes won't cost taxpayers a dime – is a good place to start.
So, the Legislature, whatever its partisan makeup, must embrace a variety of pro-market reforms if New Mexico's economy is to be turned around, but right to work, a policy which according to Gallup is supported by 65% of Democrats nationally, is a great starting point.
Recently, New Mexico Sen. Martin Heinrich sounded off in the East Coast liberal establishment's favorite news outlet, The New York Times, about efforts by the Rio Grande Foundation and others who wish to devolve certain lands currently managed by Washington bureaucracies (specifically the National Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management) to state control. Needless to say, he's not a fan.
I responded with an article that ran nationally (shockingly, not in the Times) and generated an interesting column on the situation from the Albuquerque Journal's Washington correspondent Michael Coleman.
I noted in my column that Heinrich (and Udall) enthusiastically supported federal monument designations in both Northern and Southern New Mexico. I was remiss in not pointing out that Heinrich and Udall have introduced legislation to designate an additional 45,000 New Mexico lands as "Wilderness." This bill is unlikely to pass Congress, but it is very possible that Heinrich and Udall will convince a lame-duck President Obama to "use his pen" to designate the land by himself in yet another federal "land grab."

Additional charges may be filed in a burglary case in the Village of Walbridge in which three adults and one juvenile were arrested, according to Police Chief Ken Frost, who said Thursday the case was still under investigation.
According to Chief Frost and records in Perrysburg Municipal Court, charges of burglary and obstructing official business have been filed against Jacob T. Oakley, 18, Walbridge, Elijah M. Parsons-Gugle, 19, Northwood, and Derek R. Daly.18, Northwood.
Charges are also pending against the 17-year-old juvenile.
Village police were alerted by a passerby early Tuesday morning of a vehicle parked in the driveway of a Wilber Street residence while the occupant was at work.
Additional village officers responded and were assisted by officers from Lake Township, Northwood, Rossford, and Norfolk Southern. Chief Frost said K-9 units were used to follow two sets of tracks in the snow that led from the Wilber Street home to a Perry Street residence where the four were apprehended.
"There were several elements at the scene on Wilber that indicated a burglary had been committed," the chief said. "It was basically stopped in the act."
He said the passerby was familiar with the residence and knew the person living there was at work at the time.
The adults were taken to the Wood County jail and the juvenile to the county's juvenile detention center.
"We're still working on it to determine if other charges should be filed," the chief said.
According to court records, a preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 14 at 9:30 a.m. for Parsons-Gugle and Daly and for a public defender for Oakley.
Police said electronic items, clothing, alcohol, and suspected marijuana were seized as evidence.

One of my Pinterest boards is titled "Paperdoll Reference." It may as well be titled my "Why Can't I Draw Like That?" board. I'll pin dresses with interesting coloring, particularly shiny dresses or dresses with great draping, with the intention of using them to study from. Not being the most diligent artist in the world, I've been piling up interesting examples and not doing all that much with them. Then the thought came to me, why not make the learning process into a paper doll outfit? (Everything's better with paperdolls.) Sort of like a tutorial, except I, too, start out with no clue what I'm doing. Let's learn together!
Red and Gold Party Dress
This dress was intended to be a birthday dress, but after much fussing in Photoshop I couldn't get my initial vision to look as I had intended it to. Just for fun I gave it a bright red color and a playful golden pattern, and then I couldn't bring myself to change it because it is just too cute. They don't all have to be super fancy, and I love the movement in the skirt. Maybe this will be the year I finally do a full set of birthday dresses, but this is not the month they will start.
Thanks to everyone who entered my contest last week! I enjoyed reading everyone's opinions. The winner of the contest was Lorie Harding. I didn't have the black and white version ready by last week, but it's done now, with Mia modeling it for us. So, Lorie, please post a comment or e-mail me by next Friday to tell me how you'd like this one colored!
Next week, we have Adventures in Tulle, in which you all get a view into my digital coloring learning process and we wind up with a ballgown with a tri-color tulle skirt. Don't forget that you can now download PDFs of all of my 2014 dolls and outfits for free – easier than fussing with all the files individually! You can also follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest for sneak previews, paperdoll thoughts and pictures of pretty jewelry. If you enjoy my work, I'd also appreciate your support through Patreon.
1930s Blue Flower Patterned Dress with Lace Scarf and Cherry Brooch
I'm breaking my paper doll slump with this 1930s-style dress! If you don't follow me on Pinterest, you probably should, or at least you should select a couple of my boards to follow because I actually have nearly 200 boards. (I suggest Jewelry, Gorgeous Dresses and, of course, Liana's Paper Dolls.) You may be asking, what does one person need with nearly 200 boards? The answer is, I have one board for fashion plates, illustrations and actual examples of clothes from almost every year between 1788 and 1965. Even if you aren't foolhardy enough to hit that "Follow All" button, it's fun to go to my profile and just scroll down, watching the fashions change. Whenever I want to draw a historical outfit, I'm always scrambling through Google Image Search, museum sites and so on for examples of outfits from that time, so having these boards is a great resource for me! I particularly like 1930s clothes, so I did a 1930s dress today. It's mostly based on late 1930s styles (I think mostly 1937), but the pattern and decorations are my own invention.
In other news, I now have PDF collections of my 2014 dolls and outfits to download! So if you want to print them out, you don't have to fuss with each individual PDF any more. They're pay what you want, including $0, and you don't even have to sign up for anything or have any credit card information if you get them for free.
I don't have an elf dress ready for the next contest, but let's get it started anyway! I will have it done by next week at the latest, and the winner can decide on the coloring then. I promise it'll be pretty!
To enter the contest, post a comment with your favorite time period for clothes. One comment per person please, and I'll choose the winner with a random number generator. If you've won a contest this year, please don't enter again. (And Mom, you're free to enter!) The winner will get to tell me how to color an elf dress.
Liana's Greek Pattern Photoshop Brushes
Has it really already been a couple of months since my last post? I'm sorry — I got caught up in other projects and discouraged about this one, for no good reason really. I don't know if I'll be able to get anything done by Friday, but I feel the urge to break my absent streak today, so for now let me give a present to the Photoshop users among you: the brushes I made when I did the ancient Greek peplos. Although I did the work of making them into brushes, I used the original patterns from a public domain book, The Costume of the Ancients, so I think it's only right to pass the derivative work back into the public domain. Here's the link to the zip file.
To install the brushes, just unzip the file, put the .abr file in your Brushes directory (for me, it's under Presets), and restart Photoshop if necessary.
Free for personal and commercial uses, attribution appreciated but unnecessary, and if you change the brushes yourself, please keep the terms the same. To put it in Creative Common terms:
Liana's Ancient Greek Pattern Brushes by Liana Kerr is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
Based on a work at lianaspaperdolls.com.
I released it this way because I hate remembering where I got a particular brush and whether or not it's OK to use for a project I'd like to make money off of, but if you use any of these brushes in your own work I'd certainly like to see how they turn out!
The brushes are a little on the large size, but I tend to use them at much smaller sizes, which is where they'll probably look best. Feel free to ask if you have questions! (I may add a tutorial on using them later, but for now…)

LeMaitre doesn't win much Wall Street favor with record sales in Q2
Thu, 08/01/2013 - 2:29pm
LeMaitre posted record sales and an 8% bump in profits during its 2nd quarter, but saw share prices take a slight hit to close at a loss of nearly 2 points.
LeMaitre Vascular (NSDQ:LMAT) posted an 8% bump in crofts for its 2nd quarter and raised guidance estimates for the year, but Wall Street was less than enthused.
LMAT shares closed at a 1.7% decrease at $6.83 yesterday after the device maker posted record sales during a quarter that CEO George LeMaitre called "excellent."

Recap: Ohio State vs. Bryant
Columbus, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Lenzelle Smith Jr. poured in a game-high 19 points with eight rebounds to lead No. 3 Ohio State to an 86-48 victory over Bryant in a Gotham Classic matchup.
Amir Williams had 12 points, nine rebounds and six blocks for the Buckeyes (9-0), who face North Dakota State Saturday.
"I think Lenzelle is playing at a very high level," Ohio State head coach Thad Matta said of Smith. "He is a complete basketball player. His defense goes unnoticed except by me."
Dyami Starks netted 16 points for Bryant (6-5), which has lost three straight.
Sam Thompson nailed a jumper to spark a 13-6 Buckeye run 5:13 into the first half. Williams ended the run with a layup to make the score 25-15 Ohio State.
The Bulldogs pulled back within seven points, 25-18, before Amedeo Della Valle swished a 3 with 8:24 left in the first. That started an 18-5 surge by Ohio State to close out the half.
After a Starks 3-pointer, with 5:27 to go, the Bulldogs did not score the rest of the half. Ohio State led 43-23 heading into the locker room.
Ohio State started an 18-6 run 1:43 into the second half that stretched the lead to 33 points and it reached as high as 38.
"They play national-championship caliber defense," Bryant head coach Tim O'Shea said of the Buckeyes. "They've got the length; they've got the shot blocking; they've got the quickness."

Is the trustee of his will still alive and available?

All you need is a one page agreement. It does not take much to draw up a contract, but it sounds like you don't have a plausible counter party. If they had an attorney, the attorney might be the trustee. Sorry I can't help more, your situation sounds tough.

Candidates for the City of Carrollton offices of mayor and city council will host a meet and greet session from 7-8 p.m. Oct. 30, at the Carroll County Courthouse second floor meeting room. This will occur as a special meeting of City Council; no action will be taken.
The evening agenda begins with citizen networking time with the candidates. The organizers will have a special guest speaker before opening up the floor for a candidate question and answer session.
Light refreshments will be served.
A new ordinance in Prestonville will affect new driveways and road entrances in the future. The ordinance, which passed unanimously on first reading at the meeting Oct. 20, is a direct result of the issues the city has had lately with standing road water and property damage because of inadequate ditching and culverts installed by property owners in the past.
Carrollton Police Department has hired former Carroll County Sheriff's Deputy Daniel Rose to fill the vacancy created by Steve Abbott's retirement.
Rose said Monday he is excited by the new opportunity and new direction the CPD offered. "I am excited to be working in a great environment," Rose said.
Rose was a deputy with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office since March 2011, before resigning to accept the position with CPD. Rose will be working second shift.
Carroll County Fiscal Court heard an update on the status of the contract for the 11-acre tract of land and easement for the property along Ladder Lane.
Carroll County Judge Executive Harold "Shorty' Tomlinson said the property and the easement area have been surveyed. The contract has been mailed out, and the county could possibly set a closing date by the end of the week.
Carrollton Main Street Program held a sidewalk chalk art contest Saturday, Oct. 25, in front of the downtown courthouse. There were 30 entries total and four age groups. Carroll County Arts Board will be displaying photos of the sidewalk art in the Carroll County Public Library.
Project Comfort reached out to 15 local residents Oct. 25. Thirty-one volunteers cleaned gutters, fixed doors, winterized windows, cleaned up shrubs and trees, worked on plumbing issues, and visited with the residents. The event is organized by the Project Comfort Steering Committee.
Following their halftime performance at the Oct. 17, football game, the Carroll County High School Band of Gold recognized their five seniors: Robert Chilton, Kathryn Gillespie, Matt O'Neal, Micah Wallace and Katelyn Wright. Senior cheerleaders Alexis Green and Jaci Harp also were recognized following the senior football player introductions. They will be pictured with their parents at senior night for the basketball teams this winter.
Candidates are listed in the order they will appear on the Nov. 4, General Election ballot. Write-in candidates will not appear on the ballot.

Im planning on harvesting and washing my yeast from my current brew. My question is once I have my jars of washed yeast, how do I know how much of that yeast to pitch for my next brew? Do i throw it all in or do i have to measure it some how? Any and all input greatly appreciated!
Check out mrmalty.com under yeast tools. Select the 'repitching from slurry' tab. You can enter the gravity and volume of your planned beer along with the harvest date of your yeast and it will calculate the volume of slurry required. There are other calculators out there too, but I haven't tried them.
As a (very) rough guide, if you're repitching within a couple of days into a similar beer to the one you harvested from you'll need about a quarter of the yeast produced from the first beer.
Mr. Malty says 4.5 billion cells per ml of dense slurry.
I figure 50% = 2.25 billion / ml (if it's been sitting in the fridge awhile), and even round that down to 2, so if I need 100 B cells, I pitch 50 ml of dense slurry.
Keg #1: Bourbon/Oak Vanilla Porter
Keg #2: Cascadian Stout
Keg #3: BMC West
Bottled: Mjolnir Mead, Lazy Daze Hefe, The Bollocks ESB, Dark Matter stout.
I have washed yeast for a couple of years now and I always make a starter. I have pitched slurry directly from one fermentation to the next without washing and used Mr. Malty numbers to measure it out. You can save unwashed slurry in the fridge for about a week if you don't have a fresh batch to pitch right into. If it will be more than a week make a starter to build up one jar of your washed yeast.
Thanks guys for your replies, i do appreciate it. Sorry for the rookie questions, i really want to make sure i do this right. So is it necessary to wash slurry? When saving yeast, how many times should I let the yeast set and collect before i do my final collection. Also how much liquid shod be in with the yeast compared to the amiunt of yeast?
You do not have to wash if you are going to pitch from one batch immediately (or soon) into another. You can scoop from your bucket with a sanitized spoon into a sanitized container (like a small Pyrex measuring cup or a Mason jar) and cover with sanitized foil and keep it in the fridge. If you wash then follow the yeast washing sticky here on HBT. The latest Chop & Brew episode (3?) on you tube (glad to have you back Chip!) actually has a really good video demonstration from a reputable source.

Film Review: Ginger Snaps (2000)
SYNOPSIS: One of the Fitzgerald sisters, suburban goth girl outcasts, gets bitten by something in the woods (and it ain't a neighborhood dog). REVIEW: What do lycanthropy & menstruation have in common? An odd question for sure but as presented in the film "Ginger Snaps", the answer is pretty damn scary. It's been a dog's age (Pun unintended) since I've seen this flick and I forgot how great it is. The plot tells the story … Continue reading

Can BPA give you man boobs? According to a new report in the journal Reproductive Toxicology, early exposures to the chemical commonly found in canned foods (short for bisphenol-A) could promote abnormal breast growth in boys and adult men.
Researchers exposed male mice to very low doses of BPA, and found that the mice went on to have enlarged mammary tissue in adulthood, explains study author Laura Vandenberg, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow of biology at the Center for Developmental and Regenerative Biology at Tufts University.
"This study provides additional evidence that the mammary gland is exceptionally sensitive to low doses of BPA when exposures occur during early development," she says. "What is different about this study is that it is the first to suggest that the male mammary gland could be affected by BPA exposures."
The study also gives additional evidence that environmental chemicals could play a role in gynecomastia, a condition that causes abnormal breast growth in boys and men, and one that may cause significant emotional distress, Vandenberg says.
BPA has already been linked to breast and prostate cancers, heart and kidney damage, behavioral problems, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. It's a chemical that's currently produced at a high rate, with about 6 billion tons produced throughout the world annually. The quantities are staggering, considering that a miniscule amount could cause permanent damage.
BPA is so commonly used in consumer products that it's actually starting to invade our environment, where its effects have been noted. Now detected in air, sand, and water, the chemical acts like a synthetic estrogen; even tiny doses of it could alter your body's ability to regulate natural bodily functions.
About a dozen states have taken measures to remove BPA from baby bottles, sippy cups, or the lining of baby formula cans, but researchers agree that this is only solving one part of the problem. Since of the most damaging exposure happens prenatally, if a pregnant mother ingests BPA, it could spark damage in her child that may not show up for decades.
The wave of evidence suggesting BPA problems in men, women, and children isn't expected to subside anytime soon. The number of studies reporting low-dose problems with BPA exposure in laboratory animals continues to climb, and more studies looking at the chemical's impacts on the metabolic and immune systems, brain development, and reproduction are expected to come out by year's end.
To protect your family from harmful BPA chemicals and replacements, avoid eating and drinking from plastic containers, and if you must use them, never heat the plastic in the dishwasher or microwave—doing so accelerates chemical leaching. Say no to receipts you don't need, since BPA or potentially harmful BPA replacements are used to coat the paper and can seep into your skin. Choosing fresh or frozen vegetables and other foods instead of canned will also reduce your exposure to hormone-disrupting chemicals.

"Hilton Garden Inn.... great accomodation, great location."
"We arrived at Hilton Garden Inn many hours earlier than expected; but much to our surprise, the friendly girl at checkin was able to assign us a room immediately. How great it was to be able to relax in our own room after such an early morning flght. We chose the Hilton Garden Inn for it's location, but also found as expected, a clean and tidy room with the convenience of a microwave and fridge. We plan on staying here again on our next trip to Toronto."

Rockets Reportedly Target Tel Aviv
"Rockets Reportedly Target Tel Aviv"
At least two rockets have reportedly been launched from Gaza at Tel Aviv, one of Israel's most populous cities, potentially marking an escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza militant groups. Though official reports suggest that the rockets landed outside the city, residents claim to have heard an explosion. The organization Islamic Jihad is claiming responsibility for the attack. To date, 15 Gazans and 3 Israelis have been killed in the violence.

St. Elizabeth of Hungary Comments
St. Elizabeth was born in Hungary in 1207, the daughter of Alexander II, King of Hungary. At the age of four she was sent for education to the court of the Landgrave of Thuringia, to whose infant son she was betrothed. As she grew in age, her piety also increased by leaps and bounds. In 1221, she married Louis of Thuringia and in spite of her position at court began to lead an austerely simple life, practiced penance, and devoted herself to ... Continue Reading

I am studying to be a tourist guide in Hungary right now and among others we have to know the saints of Hungary. Let me correct two things in the text: Saint Elizabeth of Hungary was the daughter of Andrew II (II Andras in Hungarian), King of Hungary (1176-1235) and Gertrud of Merania. Hungary did not have a king named Alexander.
Among her symbols the roses must be mentioned! See the story of the miracle of roses in connection with her.

St. Elizabeth of Hungary, sweet saint of the poor and suffering. I chose Elizabeth for my Confirmation, without knowing you, but now, I can claim you for myself, In hindsight I could not have chosen a more adorable and attractive saint. To think that a royal, a queen dressed herself simply, and gave food to the poor is such a touching image, never to be seen in today's world. I read that you were punished by the Court and stripped of your crown, for they thought that you were impoverishing their wealth. No doubt you were reinstated, but I am ashamed to think that altough I like to be charitable, I get quickly frustrated by negative comments or reactions to my word and work. Help me dear saint to receive the wonderful Grace of the Holy Spirit to be discerning and prudent in speech and behaviour. My ferour to you increased after my visit to you stunning capital city, Budapest, where in St Stephen's basilica there is a great devotion to you. Dear Saint help me to get an authentic answer, which I am waiting for, so that my charity donations will be send to the right person/authority. May it be used as for the most needy. Amen

Come Talk API Strategy And Practice in Chicago - September 24-26th
Posted on 05-01-2014
Its official, the next edition of API Strategy will be in Chicago, September 24,25, and 26th 2014. We've dubbed this version of the conference, 'APIs Going Mainstream'!
As APIs make their way into almost every business sector imaginable, we thought it would make sense to have an API conversation with some of the top brands, in the heartland of the United States--Chicago.
We are kicking things off with six speakers:
Ashe Dryden
Ashe is an outspoken educator for diversity, inclusiveness, and empathy. She's currently writing a book on increasing diversity within companies, as well as working on a video series and site to serve as a resource to people who want to get involved.
John Ellis
As Global Technologist and Head of the Ford Developer Program with Ford Motor Company, John is tasked with expanding Ford's "brought-in" strategy of integrating mobile technology into the vehicle.
John MusserJohn Musser is the CEO of API Science and previously founded ProgrammableWeb, the leading online resource on open APIs.
Marten MickosMarten Mickos is CEO of Eucalyptus Systems, the leader in open source cloud computing platforms for on-premise use. Previously as CEO of MySQL AB, Marten grew that company from a garage start-up to the second largest open source company in the world.
Phil WindleyPhil is the founder and CTO of Kynetx, which provides a cloud-based application platform that is uniquely architected to use events, personal data, and APIs to create social products and services.
Pratap RanadePratap is the Co-founder of Kimono Labs - Kimono makes it easy for developers turn web data into APIs. His work on APIs and Big Data has been published in Forbes and the McKinsey Quarterly.
This group of speakers represents what API Strategy & Practice is all about, with speakers ranging API veterans like John Musser, pillars of the american economy from Ford, cloud computing pioneers, the future of APIs, and tech diversity leaders like Ashe Dryden.
API Strategy & Practice isn't just a tech event. 3Scale and API Evangelist are passionate about making the event an open, inclusive conversation about APIs, that is accessible to EVERYONE. As APIs penetrate every aspects of our online, and increasingly offline lives, it is important that everyone is up to speed, and #APIStrat is where this will happen.
Head over to the API Strategy & Practice site and pre-register for the event, or get more involved by sponsoring the event, or submitting a talk that you think would bring value to the community.
I look forward to seeing you all there!

NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE www.nationalreview.com PRINT
From the New York Daily News:
The son of convicted late-term abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell apparently changed his name only to start a new legacy for himself: burglar.
Barron Alexander, who until recently shared the last name of his incarcerated dad, was critically shot while allegedly breaking into a West Philadelphia home Wednesday morning, police told WPVI.
The 22-year-old suffered two to three gunshot wounds after allegedly smashing through a back bathroom window to gain access to the Mantua home around 7 a.m.
Nice family, the Gosnells.
Turns out that Alexander was robbing his neighbors. As you do:
"The resident screamed for help, a second male, a second resident from that property came to assist him, he did have a firearm," Capt. John Przepiorka of Southwest Detectives told CBS Philly.
Gunfire broke out and a witness described seeing Alexander stumble out of the home bloody, before collapsing in the street.
Oddly enough, the crime scene was not only just blocks from Gosnell's former abortion clinic — where the gruesome baby killer ended the lives of infants well past Pennsylvania's 24-week limit — but two doors from Alexander's own residence, according to police.
The rest here.
