How to Curb Underage Drinking Before it Escalates to Heavy Drinking
Posted by Drug Free Homes in Alcohol Abuse on April 2, 2013
Underage drinking is a major public health concern in the United States. The 2011 Monitoring the Future Survey reported that 33 percent of 8th graders and 70 percent of 12th graders had tried alcohol. Among the consequences of underage drinking include physical and sexual assault, alcohol-related car crashes, abuse of other banned substances, school problems, physical hangovers or illnesses, and death from alcohol poisoning — to name a few.
In 2010, there were more than 185,000 emergency rooms visits by persons under age 21 for injuries and other conditions linked to alcohol. In the passing of years, this figure may either increase or drop, but to say that underage drinking will totally never going to occur anymore is perhaps next to impossible. Still, preventive measures are there to reduce the problem.
On the national, state and local levels, some of the prevention strategies being enforced to curb underage drinking include increasing alcohol excise taxes, reducing youth exposure to alcohol advertising, and development of comprehensive community-based programs.
At home, what parents can do is to talk to their kids about alcohol abuse.
According to a recent study by researchers from Penn State University, discussing alcohol drinking with teenagers before they start college can both reduce the risk that light drinkers will become heavy drinkers, and increase the likelihood that heavy drinkers will slow down or stop the habit.
"Over 90 percent of teens try alcohol outside the home before they graduate from high school," Robert Turrisi, professor of biobehavioral health at Penn State, said in a university news release. "It is well known that fewer problems develop for every year that heavy drinking is delayed. Our research over the past decade shows that parents can play a powerful role in minimizing their teens' drinking during college when they talk to their teens about alcohol before they enter college."
Turrisi and colleagues studied 1,900 randomly selected incoming freshmen — each of them was identified as belonging to one of four groups: nondrinkers, weekend light drinkers, weekend heavy drinkers and heavy drinkers.
Parents of the student participants were provided with a handbook containing information that included an overview of college student drinking, strategies and techniques for communicating effectively, ways to help teens develop assertiveness and resist peer pressure and in-depth information on how alcohol affects the body.
The researchers found that teens remain in the non-drinking or light-drinking groups when their parents followed the recommendations in the handbook and talked to their teens before they enter college. Similarly, teens transition out of a heavy-drinking group (if they were already heavy drinkers) when their parents talked to them about drinking before they set foot on campus.
Turrisi said talking to teens in the fall of the first year of college may not work as well; for many families it had no effect on students' drinking behaviors. Similarly, adding extra parent materials in the fall seemed to have no additional benefit.
Many Doctors Do Not Often Ask Teen Patients About Their Drinking Habits
Posted by Drug Free Homes in Alcohol Abuse on February 12, 2013
A survey of more than 2,500 10th grade students found that doctors often miss underage drinking problems due to lack of proper alcohol screening.
According to a MedicalXpress report, researchers from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Health and Human Development found that 34 percent of the surveyed students had drunk alcohol in the past month; 26 percent said they had engaged in binge drinking — defined as 5 or more drinks per occasion for males, and 4 or more for females. However, not all of those students who had seen a doctor reported being asked about their drinking habits, neither getting advice about the dangers of alcohol.
"While more than 80 percent of 10th graders said they had seen a doctor in the past year, just 54 percent of that group were asked about drinking, and 40 percent were advised about alcohol harms," says lead author Ralph W. Hingson, Sc.D., M.P.H., director of NIAAA's division of epidemiology and prevention research.
Hingson added that among students who visited a doctor in the past year and who reported drinking in the past month, only 23 percent said they were advised to reduce or stop drinking.
The researchers also reported in the February issue of Pediatrics that students who said they had been asked about their drinking were more likely to be advised about alcohol.
Studies link underage drinking to various problems, including academic failure, legal troubles, drug use, and alcohol poisoning which may lead to death. The habit could also interfere with an adolescent's ability to judge risk and make sound decisions. In addition, underage drinkers are believed to have greater risk of becoming heavy drinkers later in life.
In preventing and reducing underage drinking, everyone's role counts. Aside from families, friends and media, health care providers have a strong influence in promoting significant and lasting reductions in drinking levels and alcohol-related problems among adults.
Latest National Report Shows Underage Drinking a Persistent Problem in All U.S. States
Posted by Drug Free Homes in Alcohol Abuse on November 28, 2012
A new report issued on Nov. 20 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) revealed that underage drinking is still a serious problem across all states.
"Underage drinking should not be a normal part of growing up. It's a serious and persistent public health problem that puts our young people and our communities in danger," said SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde. "Even though drinking is often glamorized, the truth is that underage drinking can lead to poor academic performance, sexual assault, injury, and even death."
Although efforts aimed at reducing the extent of underage drinking in recent years has shown progress, particularly among those aged 17 and younger, the rates of underage drinking are still unacceptably high. Combined 2008 to 2010 data indicate that 26.6 percent of people aged 12 to 20 drank alcohol in the past month, and approximately 8.7 percent of past month drinkers purchased their own alcohol the last time they drank.
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) report shows that the rates of underage drinking in the past month were highest in Vermont (37.0 percent) and lowest in Utah (14.3 percent). States with the lowest incidence of underage youth illegally purchasing their own alcohol included New Mexico (2.5 percent), Idaho (2.6 percent), and Oregon (2.6 percent).
Southern states that had some of the lowest rates of underage drinking include Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. Whereas, some of the highest rates of underage youth illegally purchasing their own alcohol include Alabama, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, and North Carolina.
Teen Drinking in School District Declining
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse on July 4, 2012
More and more students at the Flagstaff Unified School District are saying no to alcohol. In a recent study done that focused on the results of surveys made in the last eight years, teen drinking has been observed to be decreasing in the area.
It was also noted that most students are now informed about the dangers of alcohol, and reports of adolescent drinking have gone down significantly.
The news is very encouraging especially to law enforcement officials and anti-alcohol advocates that are all pushing for the approval of a new program that will replace DARE. One of the provisions of the new program is the assignment of two police officers at the FUSD middle school and high schools.
The direct cause why kids have lessen their interests on alcohol is still not certain, but for Citizens Against Substance Abuse executive director Connie Leto, it could be that more parents are opening their channel of communication to their children. "I think we have more parents that are speaking up to their kids about alcohol."
According to records of the Flagstaff police, the department tallied 1501 incidents of underage drinking in 2009, but this number decreased by a little less than 50% in 2011 at 894 cases.
Leto added that more students are influenced by their parents' views on alcohol. When kids know their parents don't approve of alcohol and warn them of its dangers, they too will avoid the substance and turn away from underage drinking.
The Flagstaff City Council gave their approval to the new program of the police department that will take DARE's place just last week.
Project Alert will now be the latest initiative from the authorities that will monitor drug and alcohol activities of students. The program will focus on eighth and ninth graders as these levels are found to be the most vulnerable to substance abuse.
Convenience Store Gets $716.M Penalty for Selling Alcohol to Minor
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse on June 12, 2012
A Hillsboro County, Florida civil trial jury unanimously approved $716.5 million penalty to a convenience store owner that allowed a minor to buy alcohol.
A very hefty amount to pay, but the said underage customer of the store ended up killing a 32-year-old man when he drove under the influence of the alcoholic drink he bought from the retailer. The store owner gained a wrongful death violation and was ordered to pay the family of the victim amounting to hundreds of millions.
In the course of the trial, testimonies from witnesses strengthened the evidences against the convenience store which has long been known for selling beer, wine and liquor to minors. As a result of their negligence, a family lost a son. To show the whole community that selling alcohol to individuals below 21 years old is a serious offense, the jury decided to make the store owners accountable for the unfortunate death and pay the earlier said amount to the family as compensation for their loss.
Florida is one of the states that have adopted an ordinance that allows victims of intoxicated drivers the freedom to hold sellers of alcohol responsible for their loss. The "dram shop law" makes stores, party hosts, bars, and even homeowners liable when accidents occur as a result of their neglect in tolerating underage drinking or letting people they know to drink continuously despite obvious signs of heavy intoxication.
The decision in the Florida case should be noted especially by establishments who violate laws against underage drinking. Authorities hope that with the implementation of the dram shop law, stores and their staff and concerned individuals will become more responsible when it comes to selling alcoholic beverages to avoid unnecessary consequences on their part.
Fontana Officials Strengthen Initiatives Against Underage Drinking
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse on May 24, 2012
Fontana authorities are making it their mission to strongly implement laws governing underage drinking. Last week, a forum was held at the Fontana City Hall attended by law enforcement groups and parents.
According to Police Chief Rod Jones, alcohol is the leading drug of choice among kids in the United States and it has been the leading cause of death for teen drivers. Fontana has had its share of problems pertaining to drunk driving which has claimed the lives of 10 community members in the past year.
San Bernardino County Sheriff Rod Hoops said that teen drinking leads to the path of violence, sexual assault, and other crimes. Hoops continued by reminding parents of their responsibility especially now that graduation and prom season is about to arrive.
To address the anticipated problem of underage drinking during the "party season," Fontana has recently adopted an ordinance that will hold events hosts responsible for any alcohol served to minors during their hosted gatherings. It has been noted that house parties are the main sources of alcohol for kids, thus with the social host ordinance, adults can be implicated should they allow kids to drink in their events.
In San Bernardino County alone, the average age for children having their first encounters with alcohol is at 12 years old and that 48% of minors arrested for DUI admit to drinking at parties and gatherings held at home.

For those who humored my meltdown yesterday about my DS refusing to eat solids, thank you -- and good news: a checkup at the doctor showed that a) his ear infections are FINALLY responding to antibiotics and b) He has FOUR teeth pushing through at one time!! One had already broken thru the gums, while the other three were getting ready to. This no doubt had a lot to do with why he didnt want to eat.
He's already got 4 teeth - now four more coming! Quite a mouth of chompers.

I do not research the genealogy of the English Royal family (and have no plans to ever research it). Mostly I link to other people's work, notably the work of Brian Tompsett.
All the old Western lines really form one vast Western family tree. How far back this tree can be taken is still a matter under investigation.
We begin the English Royal line with the Norman invaders of England (1066) and Ireland (1169):
Eystein, Jarl of the Uplanders, of Norway, born 788 AD, had issue:
Ragnvald Eysteinsson, had issue:
Rolf the Ganger, 1st Duke of Normandy (also here), born 846, had issue:
William I Longsword, 2nd Duke of Normandy, had affair with Adela [descendant of Charlemagne] and had issue:

by James Altucher: I
Pearl Harbor
ruined my life. I'm going to cut right to the chase. When
the Japanese invaded Pearl Harbor, provoking our massive WW II response,
in a very direct way, it cause the financial crisis of 2008, my
divorce, my potential poverty, and most other problems in my life.
Yeah, yeah,
yeah, and so did Lincoln's assassination, right? No, I didn't
say that. Don't put words in my mouth. In fact, originally
I was going to say women caused the financial crisis but it's
not their fault and it's a bit more accurate to say Pearl Harbor
did. We are going for accuracy here. And through accuracy we will
eliminate all of the BS, find the truth of what is happening to
our financial system, and much more importantly, what is happening
to us as a society, as a family, as individuals, and where we are
heading. Without truth lies despair.
And why should
we? For the past three years I've been reading non-stop
nonsense about what caused the financial crisis. And even though
the events are now three years old and its thoroughly boring to
read about collateralized debt mortgages over and over again, the
events of that foul period have reared their ugly heads again in
the anger made manifest by the "Occupy" movements. And
then another flurry of articles (and that's what they are –
a flurry – the first taste of snow in a new season of blame,
anger, finger-pointing, she said-he said, we're broke, they're
rich, world is over, contagion, storms that are hitting both coasts
and will begin to move inwards.)
So let's
just quickly decide what didn't cause the financial crisis:
Bush and Obama were too clueless. They messed up the bailouts but
whatever. Andrew Cuomo when he was Secretary of HUD under Clinton
certainly contributed by lowering the lending standards of Fannie
Mae so more people could buy a house. But lets not blame the sick
and the ill: he had the best intentions, little knowing that allowing
more people to get into massive debt is not necessarily a good solution
to anything.
Greenspan kept
interest rates artificially low for a long time, allowing the lending
splurge to continue, but he did not really know what he was doing.
He was afraid of the Internet bust, of 9/11, of Enron, of Bush,
of congress, of his reputation falling to pieces, of his sycophantic
lust for Ayn Rand. Psychotherapists are now handling him in the
asylum so it's a sad situation and we should let the mentally
ill alone.
What we really
want to get at is not the finger-pointing. It does me no good to
blame you, her, him, them. I only care what's going to happen
for ME and my family NEXT. And here it is. I will be as straight
as possible, Disagree in the comments but here's the real historical
and psychological roots of what happened and NOBODY has gotten to
the heart of the matter until this very post:
Pearl Harbor
was invaded.
- Men went
to war. All of the men. Except for me. I wasn't born but
if I was I certainly would not have gone. But
that's another story.
- With all
the men at war, women went to work.
- Suddenly
the war was over (only several million civilians had to die from
nuclear radiation or massive city-wide bombing) and the men came
- Along with
the men, there was a new family that arrived on the block and
try as we might we can't kick them out: the Jones Family.
Oh those Jonseses.
What a bunch of braggarts. They have everything we don't have.
And starting after World War II, they had two incomes.
The wife had
gone to work in World War II and tasted the first sip of that
syrupy but addictive monetary freedom and WILL NOT go back. So
Mrs. Jones is hard at work so they can afford an extra station wagon,
a pool, a watch, a television set (for those notborn then, that
means "a TV"), a phone, two radios, a vacation, an HP
calculator, and so on.
- And good
for the Jones family! No more War! No more Depression! Let's
put it all behind us. We're going to buy things now. Buy,
BuY, BUY! There's nothing we can't buy in a no-inflation,
two income world.
- But inflation
creeped up. Recession happened. Our spending was cut off. HELP!
We need to spend. We NEED to keep up. Early 60s malaise. So we
had to boost things. Kennedy started cutting taxes so we could
have more take-home money. This spurred the stock market again.
We had a boom for almost 8 years in the 60s.
Ahhh, now
we can spend again. Stocks were going up. Money managers were
starting to be superstars. With all that extra money what should
we do? Johnson had an idea – "The Great Society".
Might as well have government join in the fun. Money was not only
being spent by the Jones family but by the government. We were going
to have one Great Society while we bombed another Great Society
(Vietnam) all to hell. No problem, we had the money.
But then of
course, inflation creeped in. We needed more money than we had.
How were we going to KEEP UP WITH THE JONES FAMILY? So Nixon said,
no problem, let's get off the gold standard and we'll
just GIVE people the money to spend. PHEW! That solved that problem.
For a micro-second. And then inflation got out of control. Which
at first sounds good. People had more money to spend. But first
Ford, then Carter, got scared about it. Ford even made these nifty
little buttons (I own a few in my political items collection started
as a kid): Whip Inflation Now.
Why did anyone
think a campaign button would whip inflation?
So the Carter
/Volker team decided to raise interest rates until everyone lost
their jobs, lost their businesses, and spending stopped.

Expecting a baby when the weather is cold? Stay warm (and safe!) with these winter pregnancy tips.

A winter pregnancy sounds great in theory: You've got that gorgeous, growing bump to keep you warm and cozy! But dry, itchy pregnancy skin and nosebleeds can drive you nuts, icy sidewalks and streets can slip you up, and cold and flu germs, well, they're all around. Don't worry, mama-to-be: These tips will help you feel more comfortable and keep you -- and baby -- healthy all winter long.Dress in LayersYou're pregnant -- and sweating your way through every overheated house and office you set foot in. Sound familiar? There's a good reason you feel like a super-powered furnace: a pregnant woman's body temperature runs about 2 degrees higher than normal, says Noushin Firouzbakht , M.D., an Ob/Gyn at Fort Worth Female Health Associates in Fort Worth, Texas. While it's okay to wear shorts at home or a short-sleeved blouse at work, once you head outside, make sure you bundle up. (Don't forget to protect your fingers and toes.) Dressing in layers not only will keep you warm while outside, but will make it easier to strip down when you come back in so that your warmer-than-average self is comfortable -- and not roasting.

Chris Stewart on War & Peace
All of these events were only able to take place because we were economically, morally, and militarily strong enough to stand as "the shining city upon the hill."
But all of that is in danger now.
We are literally standing at the crossroads of history. We have a stark choice before us, one that, at its heart, comes down to this: are we still a serious nation? Do we have the backbone to make the difficult choices that lie before us? Will our leaders have the courage to speak the truth?

Business Highlights
By The Associated Press
Investor sues Apple, wants more cash
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ With its annual meeting looming and its stock on the decline, Apple is facing a rebellion from an influential investor who wants the company to stop stockpiling cash and give it to shareholders instead.Greenlight Capital said Thursday that it is suing Apple in a New York federal court over the company's proposal to eliminate the possibility of issuing preferred stock. David Einhorn, who heads the investment fund, said the proposal would close down one avenue for Apple to reward shareholders with more cash. Apple is still the world's most valuable company, but its stock has lost 35 percent of its value since September, as it's become obvious that its once-rapid growth has slowed down. The company is fabulously profitable and is sitting on a huge $137 billion cash reserve. Wall Street wants the company to share more of that money with its shareholders rather than tucking it away in low-yielding bank accounts. ___ NTSB: 787 battery approval should be reconsidered WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ The government should reassess its safety approval of the Boeing 787 lithium ion batteries, the nation's top accident investigator said Thursday, casting doubt on whether the airliner's troubles can be quickly remedied. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating last month's battery fire in a Japan Airlines 787 "Dreamliner" while it was parked in Boston. The results so far contradict some of the assumptions that were made about the battery's safety at the time the system won government approval, said the board's chairman, Deborah Hersman. The investigation shows the fire started with multiple short-circuits in one of the battery's eight cells, she said. That created an uncontrolled chemical reaction known as "thermal runaway," which is characterized by progressively hotter temperatures. That spread the short-circuiting to the rest of the cells and caused the fire, she said.

"Pit" plan progressing
Plans for one of the top priorities of High Point revitalization advocates are garnering city support.
City leaders haven't given final approval for development of a downtown parking lot and the surrounding area across from the High Point Depot known as "the pit" into a public gathering spot.
But the City Council on Wednesday gave the OK for staff to move forward with negotiations with a potential user looking to lease the property, most of which is owned by the city.
Ryan Saunders is heading up efforts to develop the site, which was identified in the Ignite High Point master plan as a location that could "engage the creative spirit" of the younger generation and draw more foot traffic downtown.
Saunders wants to use the site to host concerts, games, artistic endeavors and other events. Assistant City Manager Randy McCaslin said several issues still need to be worked out to enable Saunders to lease the site.
These include reaching an agreement with the owners of surrounding properties ensuring that they will continue to have access to the site.
"What Ryan is looking at doing is a low-dollar-type project. We're not going in and addressing the structural issues and hazardous areas. We're fencing them off and keeping patrons away from them," McCaslin said.
Councilwoman Judy Mendenhall said she would like to know what it will cost the city to make basic improvements to the site.
"It is basically city property that looks horrible in the middle of the furniture district, right off the train station," Mendenhall said. "I think we have some responsibility — for the minimum amount of money for which it can be done — to clean it up and provide more lighting to what is a terrible looking thing in the middle of our city."
Council members said they wanted to hear cost estimates before addressing the issue of what kind of permitting and inspection requirements to which the site might be subjected.
Saunders wants to use mobile green spaces made of synthetic grass set on galvanized steel frames that can be moved around the pit area, which had been largely forgotten until urban architect Andres Duany took note of it last year while preparing the master plan.
"It does need to be made safe," said Councilman Jay Wagner. "We're talking about a place that wasn't noticed for 30 years, until last May."

Hi everybody,
My name's Julien. I'm a 21 year old AST and APBT lover from Belgium, and I'm here to learn more about those wonderful breeds !
When I was a kid, I was afraid of dogs because of some bad experience, especially a (warning) bite from a Rottweiler when I was 8. But over time, I overcame my fear because I always wanted to love dogs even when I was afraid of them. I learned that this dog agression was mostly due to bad ownership. That dog bit me because she was not properly socialized and was left alone for hours in the garden, barking at everything and everyone because her owners were too lazy to train her. So she became extremely territorial and agressive toward strangers.
My first meeting with one of those bully breeds was 1 year ago, when I crossed the path of a woman and her 7 year old blue AST in the park. I had never seen any AST or pitbull in real life (apparently many pit-owners tend to avoid public places and the stupidity of uninformed people) and my first thought was "What a beautiful and proud animal!"
That dog was so calm, loving, obedient, yet full of energy, with eyes looking right into your mind.. I had to ask her about it.
Long story short, I totally fell in love with this breed and now I'm reading, watching and learning everything I can about it for months!
Unfortunately we never had any dog in our family because my mother was allergic, but I'm sure I'll have one in the future. I'm still waiting before adopting one because I wanna offer him/her the best life possible.
My other interests are playing guitar with my metal band, sound engineering (that I'm studying right now), video games, good movies, Burger King when I'm abroad (not a single one in Belgium, just plenty of MacDonalds!), music (from metal to reggae), history, Guinness and bacon..
I think that's it, thanks for reading

4 Lame Excuses for Shark Finning and Why it Must End
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This is the latest installment in Casson Trenor's monthly column, 4 Oceans, about protecting our fisheries and ocean health through sustainable seafood.
A powerful conservation movement is afoot in the United States. Shark finning -- the practice of catching sharks, slicing their fins off, and then dumping the animals overboard (often still alive and slowly bleeding to death) -- is being exposed for the monstrosity it is. Globally, we slaughter tens of millions of sharks each year. And for the most part, we do it for the fins, which can fetch hundreds of dollars a pound.
This is insanity. We need sharks in our oceans. Without sharks and other top-level carnivores to keep populations of sub-predators in check, we run the risk of losing productive and well-balanced marine ecosystems to trophic collapse. Thankfully, some communities are finally saying no to shark finning. Hawaii banned the possession and sale of shark fins in 2010. Washington State signed a similar prohibition into law on May 12 of this year, and in California, a ban on trafficking in shark fins is working its way through the legislature.
It's difficult to overestimate the importance of such a law passing in California. More shark fins are sold and consumed in the Golden State than in any of the other 49. If we can manage to protect these unique animals under California state law, we may not be far from a nationwide moratorium on this staggeringly unsustainable practice.
Here are several common arguments being used to defend this practice, followed by my thoughts on why they're unsound.
1: Shark fin consumption is a cultural practice and tradition.
Some cultures have a history of consuming shark fin. I am not in any place to pass judgment on these cultures, and I don't want to. All I want to say is that culture is not the unchanging monolith that some make it out to be.
Culture is a dynamic representation of both the history and the current state of a particular group, be it based around attitudes, ideals, goals, shared experiences, or other connective forces. A culture is not a static thing -- it changes with the times. Over the centuries, many cultural practices have ended in favor of the evolving wisdom and consciousness of the human race. For example, while I may not be part of a culture that has historically practiced shark finning, I am a member of a culture that has historically practiced slavery.
I am a Caucasian American and a direct descendant of slave-owning ancestors who believed in the inferiority of human beings with a darker skin color than their own. I even have relatives who died while shooting at the Union army to protect this cultural practice (among other things, of course). Slavery was a common practice in North America for centuries. It was part of our culture. It was also wrong. And, thankfully, it ended.
Human beings evolve. Our cultures evolve. As we learn more about our planet and ourselves, we gain the opportunity to learn from our mistakes. We now know far too much about humanity's dependence on Earth's environment to keep slaughtering sharks for their fins. The tragedy of shark finning is more than just sharks dying for shortsighted profit -- it's that today, when we have learned so much about sharks and their irreplaceable roles in our oceans, we continue to mindlessly slaughter them in the name of "culture."
2: Shark fin is good for your health.
Some schools of Eastern medicine equate shark fin consumption with heightened energy and virility. I am certainly no nutritionist, and will not attempt to dispute this belief. That said, it's a proven fact that a typical bowl of shark fin soup is in actuality quite devoid of most vitamins when compared to, say, a similar serving of vegetable soup. Shark fin does have some nutritional value -- especially some key elements like iron and zinc -- but it's nothing one couldn't get from any number of other foods. To kill a shark for such a meager nutritional reward is a terrible bargain for the planet at large.

In a narrowly defeated measure, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against public sector unions in an Illinois case. According to Chicago Sun-Times' Early and Often:
The Supreme Court dealt a blow to public sector unions Monday, ruling that thousands of home health care workers in Illinois cannot be required to pay fees that help cover the union's costs of collective bargaining.
In a 5-4 split along ideological lines, the justices said the practice violates the First Amendment rights of nonmembers who disagree with the positions that unions take.
The ruling is a setback for labor unions that have bolstered their ranks — and bank accounts — in Illinois and other states by signing up hundreds of thousands of in-home care workers. It could lead to an exodus of members who will have little incentive to pay dues if nonmembers don't have to share the burden of union costs.

Only 58 laps into the season and Mark Webber reckons the markers have already been laid down with a battle raging between Red Bull and McLaren.
The two teams, who finished first and second last season, held those positions again in Sunday's Australian Grand Prix as Sebastian Vettel fought Jenson Button for the victory and Webber tussled with Lewis Hamilton for the final podium place.
And although the Red Bull drivers both lost out in their individual battles, Webber foresees more Red Bull, McLaren tussles as the season progresses.
"We've (only) done one race but it looks as if both teams are pretty well organised," the Australian told Sky Sports F1.
"We executed pretty clean races from both sides - obviously the drivers are very experienced at getting the cars home as well.
"McLaren had track position from qualy and we had a bit of catching up to do.
"In the end we all bunched up after the Safety Car and pretty much followed each other home.
"Let's see how next week goes, it's very early days but the impression is that we seem to be in a battle."
As for Sunday's 58-lap Australian GP, Webber finished in fourth place after recovering from a sluggish start.
"(I was) very happy after the first lap, I need to see if I did anything wrong on the start and check the software side of things.
"(Nico) Rosberg got an unbelievable start and passed Seb as well, a few guys made some good starts and we had to regroup from there. I am very satisfied with my driving from then on."

First electric car-carrying ferry charges in ten minutes
Norway is preparing to launch the world's first electric ferry in 2015. The ferry will cross the Sognefjord fjord, linking the two towns of Lavik and Oppedal taking just ten minutes to charge its batteries when docked.
The 262.5-foot catamaran is capable of carrying 120 cars and 360 passengers, and will be powered by two 11-ton electric motors each driving a separate propeller. Normal cruising speed for the vessel will be around ten knots, only requiring some 440kw of output, though the motors are capable of a maximum of 800kw.
The lower output (compared to the current diesel powered ferry's 1,500kw) comes from the twin hulled design and use of aluminum versus steel. That brings the weight of the vessel down to about half that of an equivalent conventional vessel, allowing for the savings.
When docked at either village, the batteries will take ten minutes to charge, though it's not clear whether one crossing will completely tap out a charge or whether a recharge could be even quicker if it only needs a partial charge.
The communities it will serve are obviously committed to the project as their local power grids will be serving the project. The ferry's batteries will definitely be using some juice as the local grids couldn't handle a live recharge — the ferry will have to draw from batteries at each port that slowly draw power from the grids to stay topped up.
Of course an electric ferry also has environmental benefits that make the plan attractive, not to mention potential savings in diesel costs. The current ferry burns over 260,000 US gallons of diesel each year and emits 628 tons of CO2 and 16.5 tons of nitrogen oxides.
With the greater efficiencies and lower environmental impact, it's hard to not see the advantages of the ferry developed jointly by Siemens and Norwegian shipyard Fjellstrand, and initiated by shipping company Norlend. After winning a competition held by the Norwegian Ministry of Transport, Norlend now has the rights to operate the vessel on that route through 2025.
All eyes will be on the project to see if it delivers. Norway is a country filled with fjords and ferries. Some have suggested that if it is a success all ferry crossings over 30 minutes should use an electric powered ferry — and that would be a lot of ferries.

Hunter Phelps took this big 10-pointer during the January rut of Alabama's 2008-'09 season.
By Hunter Phelps
-- If you hunt, you're going to have streaks of good and bad luck. I'm currently enjoying the former, having taken two awesome Alabama whitetails over the past two seasons. I'm 20 years old and have been hunting Alabama's famous Black Belt region since I was 7. The current property we hunt is located in Barbour County just outside of Bakerhill, Ala.
On Jan. 12, 2008, I tagged a 135-inch mainframe 10-pointer that has a split brow tine. I got a picture of the buck on my game camera in the fall and figured it would be the biggest Alabama buck I would ever get — but I was wrong.
On Jan. 23, 2009, I killed a typical 8-pointer that measured 144 inches! The story behind the big 8-pointer is pretty wild. I believe it was just meant to happen and was set up by a higher power. To start things off, I had hung a climber in a bottom about four years earlier. I had hunted the stand about three times without seeing many deer before the 2008-'09 hunting season began.
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I decided I was going to hunt it one more time. Just after daylight, a doe eased through my shooting lane. About an hour later, a shooter 8-pointer walked out — I took him. It wasn't a giant buck but definitely a shooter for where we hunt. As I was dragging the deer out of the bottom, I stopped to catch my breath. As a sat down, I glanced over in the pines a saw what looked like tines sticking up from the ground. I stood up and walked toward it, and it was a giant shed antler.
I immediately knew where I would hunt for the rest of the year (wind permitting). That afternoon during my drive back to school in Gainesville, Fla., that buck was all I could think about. That Thursday, I made my four-hour drive back to the hunting camp just in time to talk to my uncle before I went to bed. We were looking at the shed, and he commented that a buck that size is almost always nocturnal and that I probably wouldn't ever seem in daylight. All that did was motivate me to sit in the stand all day.
Phelps has been on a string of good luck, having taken this big Alabama 8-pointer during the 2008 rifle season.
The next morning, I woke up and turned on the radio to hear the weather forecast. It was calling for a southwest wind of 5 to 10 mph — perfect for my chosen stand. I eased in before daylight, just in time to watch a jake fly down from his roost. I had never seen that and thought it was pretty cool.
At about 8:30, a doe crossed my shooting lane with a buck grunting behind. I got ready just before the buck stepped out. It was an 8-pointer with about a 105-inch rack, but it wasn't the shed buck. I didn't shoot, and by 10:30 I was pretty aggravated. About an hour later, I heard something moving through the bottom, which turned out to be four does. The newcomers fed on acorns for about 45 minutes before something got their attention. They stopped feeding, and all eyes and ears pointed up the hill in front of them.
About two minutes later, I heard something coming. As it got closer, I heard the unmistakable sound of buck grunts. I cant even begin to describe what I felt when the big buck stepped out. It was like something on a Monster Bucks video. I calmly freaked out in my tree as the buck was about to cross the only opening where I had a clear shot.
Just as it hit the opening, I made a loud grunt sound with my mouth. The buck took two steps past the opening before finally stopping behind a bush. That was it; I had no more open shots, and I knew I had just missed my chance at the monster buck.
Luckily, however, my horrible mouth grunt scared the buck enough that it turned around to head back to where it came from. As it started to trot off, I made up my mind that I was going to get a shot. As the buck paused in a small opening, I took the shot.
Instead of the instant reaction I expected, it was like nothing happened. The deer just stood there. So I took another shot. Still unfazed but not wanting to hang around with all the noise, the buck trotted up the hill.
I sat in my climber for about 20 minutes, completely disgusted by what had just happened and praying to the good Lord that I was wrong about what I had just seen. When I started to look for sign of a hit, I realized that I didn't have a clue where the buck had been standing when I shot. I was so shook up that I just hadn't thought to mark the spot before I climbed down from the stand.
I decided my only course of action was to check out the hill where the buck had disappeared when it took off. Just before I was about to admit defeat, I looked up the hill about 15 yards to see the buck expired and not going anywhere.
I ran over and grabbed the antlers in disbelief. After I thanked God for helping me find the deer, I drug it behind a tree and hid its antlers as best I could so I could go get some help.
I got back to the truck and drove to the camp jammin' some Ted Nugent — I'm pretty sure that's what you're suppose to do after killing the biggest buck of your life. I pulled in blowing the horn to wake everyone up and asked my uncle and cousin to help me drag out my deer. My little brother was the only one I actually told about the size of the antlers.
As my uncle walked around the tree, he froze and looked at me immediately. We high-fived and celebrated, and he looked at me and said, "Do you realize what you have done?" I got back to the camp with the deer just in time for my dad to pull up and celebrate with us. And that's why the last two years of hunting will probably be the two greatest I'll ever have.

The intimate Meatpacking District club's pre-Halloween hoedown features a set from clubland icon (and Grammy owner) Frankie Knuckles, the near-legendary veteran who's been spinning house since before it was even called house—his residency at Chicago's Warehouse from the late '70s through the early '80s is the origin of the genre's name. NYC house-music lifer Oscar P lays down the opening set.

[TERKINI] Gwiyomi Puteri Awani Dari Budak Couple Seminggu
The SAYS boys have been raving about the influx of girls recording themselves in what currently deems an irresistible South Korean dance. Forget Gangnam Style, Gwiyomi, or Kiyomi is here to stay! Since we're addicted to anything and everything viral on YouTube, we decided to trace the origins of Gwiyomi here. Do you hate it or love it?
What is this Gwiyomi/Kiyomi thing on my newsfeed!?
A new dance craze, the "Kiyomi" or "Gwiyomi", Korean slang meaning someone who is cute, has become the latest web-viral sensation among Thai and Malaysian teenagers.
"Gwiyomi" translated into English means someone who is cute hence the new dance craze literally means "cute player".
It was first seen on BToB MTV DiaryMany, a variety show that features the South Korean idol group BTOB wherein Jung Il Hoon performed Kwiyomi Song with cute actions and gestures.
The Viral spread started from Weekly Idol, a South Korean variety show that features a mini segment "Aegyo Battle" (battle of cuteness) where various idols perform their own version of Gwiyomi.
The internet meme is originated from Korean boy band Btob's member Jung Ilhoon who created a series of hand movements accompanying the song "Kiyomi Song".
What is Hari singing in the Kiyomi song (Cutie song)?
Gwiyomi Song or Kwiyomi Song (귀요미송) is the lead single from 귀요미송 (Re Title), a digital single by a South Korean indie singer Hari which describes the love of a girl and a boy.
Other K-Pop celebs doing the Kiyomi too, is it the new Gangnam Style?
Teens and children, especially girls, have uploaded videos of themselves doing the 50-second dance routine on the YouTube social network, some of which have hundreds of thousands of views.
Many Kpop stars including EXO K's Sehun, Miss A's Suzy, Girls' Generation's Soo Young, Infinite's Sung Kyu, SISTAR's Soyou and more have jumped into the trend.
Thai netizen commented "Goodbye Harlem Shake, Hello Kiyomi." Another poster wrote "It's the new Gangnam Style."

Google's announcement yesterday of the migration of Google Place pages to Google + Local pages feels shallow and self-serving – something geared more towards promoting their own interests than serving the needs of searchers and businessowners/brands. To be direct (as if that wasn't already), the biggest problems facing Google Places have long been:
-inaccurate data brought about by Google scraping and creating pages on their own
-inaccurate listings caused by Google merging good data with bad, or overwriting good data on their own whims
-not publishing submitted images and videos
-a lack of institutional support for these problems – i.e. no avenue for brands and agencies who are trying to correct data issues to deliver the best possible user experience
Unfortunately, this new announcement does nothing to remedy those problems, and instead seems geared towards forcing the Google+ platform onto more users. Granted, you don't have to be signed into G+ in order to view these pages, but simply being exposed to the G+ brand and platform more often is undoubtedly a move to breed familiarity and in turn adoption.
In addition to not addressing data quality issues, the announcement doesn't yet offer any new features for searchers or brands to get excited about. The company's post announcing the change does promise them in the future, but in all honesty, isn't the very best time to roll out new features a product launch? Don't you need bells and whistles for the user to believe value is being added for them?
In spite of its ongoing data issues and lack of support, we see great success with clients who claim and optimize their local business listings all the time, and that's probably what makes this announcement so frustrating. I can see the potential for exponential success for everyone – a great, less confusing user experience for the searcher and more web traffic and calls for the brand/businessowner – if Google would make the crux of their local efforts simply getting data right.
But as we can see from this announcement, this is just another area where pushing the G+ social media agenda is more important than delivering the optimal user experience. The irony there of course being that the real to key to driving – and sustaining – adoption is the user experience, a lesson Google doesn't seem interested in.

I have been working at Chubb Corp full-time (more than an year)
Generous PTO (17 days); consistent work schedule
No advacement
Underpaid for the quality and quantity of work expected
Outdated , slow computer systems
They like to almost excusively hire college grads for the call ceter, but they don't pay extra for the education (pay is below what someone with a GED would get at Geico in Virginia Beach). Added to that, there's no advancement; so, unless you got your degree to make $30,000 in a call center your entire career, don't expect to work here for more than a year or two. Everyone under 35 leaves within that timeframe for this reason.
Upgrade computer systems. We shouldn't have to place callers on hold for 3-5 minutes just to wait to get to the next screen.
Cultivate a culture of promoting from within.
Pay for what you expect. Don't offer below average pay and expect above average work. You'll wind up with high turnover and the poor customer service that comes with it.

Many employees are hired based on whether they know someone in management. Management does not promote based on work achievements. Ideas are not taking into consideration from non-management. Software is antiquated and is in dire need of upgrades.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Foster a culture that seeks to rewards those who truly earn it rather than attempting to appease someone by hiring their relatives. Also it would be a good idea to implement a system that has 360 feedback so that everyone is held accountable, not just by their superiors.Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Arnault told LVMH shareholders at the group's annual meeting here that overall sales in the United States in April were strong — up double digits for Louis Vuitton — and that Asia continued to deliver "exceptional" results.
"We are in a position to meet our objectives for a sharp rise in earnings in 2008," said Arnault, adding overall sales in April were growing in line with the first quarter's double-digit performance.
Despite admitting the current economic environment "isn't the best that we've known" and that the diving value of the dollar and yen was eroding profits, Arnault said LVMH would not stem its aggressive expansion and communications tactics as it tries to grow in a tough environment.
"Every time we've been [in a difficult economy] we've increased market share," said Arnault at the morning meeting here, which was followed later in the afternoon with a Christian Dior shareholders' meeting.
"We've started the year strong. We will not pull off [of the accelerator]," he said. "We are focused on innovating. There are tons of new leather goods — the Richard Prince bag for Vuitton has been an immense success and we won't be able to meet demand. We can't produce the pieces fast enough."
As reported, LVMH's first-quarter sales advanced 12 percent at constant exchange rates to 4 billion euros. After factoring in the negative impact of the strong euro against the dollar and yen, the firm's sales growth was shaved to 5 percent.
Arnault promised shareholders "significant" growth in sales and profits this year and reiterated a pledge to double LVMH's results and size over the next five years.
Projecting an easy and relaxed air, Arnault said LVMH's so-called star brands, including Louis Vuitton, Dior and Tag Heuer, were key to driving further gains this year. He said investments would be focused on bolstering their business.
He also touted the "great potential" for Fendi, which he said in the next years was poised to become "one of the most important Italian brands on the market."
