Internet Companies opposed to SOPA. Over 40 Internet Companies Have Come Out Publicly Against SOPA. Since the list of 120 or so SOPA supporting companies hit the Internet yesterday, the lines have been drawn; People are publicly promising to pull thousands of domains from domain registrar Godaddy after it appeared on the list as a supporter.
Other people are calling those people "bullies." Whether you're for or against it SOPA has become somewhat of a pain point amongst techies, with the overwhelming majority, including myself and almost every other writer on the TechCrunch team, leaning heavily towards "against." SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) essentially allows ISPs to block entire domains because a piece of hosted content infringes copyright. As the bill approaches deliberation in House of Representatives next month, a steady stream of Internet companies have taken anti-SOPA stands. After all, sacrificing innovation to save a dying business model is a close as it gets to anathema in these parts. SOPA: Google, Facebook and Twitter May Go Offline in Protest. Can you imagine a world without Google or Facebook?
If plans to protest the potential passing of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) come to fruition, you won't need to; those sites, along with many other well-known online destinations, will go temporarily offline as a taste of what we could expect from a post-SOPA Internet. Companies including Google, Facebook, Twitter, PayPal, Yahoo! And Wikipedia are said to be discussing a coordinated blackout of services to demonstrate the potential effect SOPA would have on the Internet, something already being called a "nuclear option" of protesting.
Tumblr. Reddit. Google's position. Wikipedia. Facebook. Turntable.fm's Clever Anti-SOPA Protest. Even new social music streaming startup Turntable.fm is in on protests against the Stop Online Piracy Act and its companion Senate bill, the Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act.
In the screenshot above, the laptops before each avatar would normally have the logo of the user's operating system — Mac, Windows, Ubuntu and so on. But the service has modified its user experience so that the logo sprites are replaced with an an anti-SOPA and anti-PIPA logo. Turntable has also "redacted" its own logo.
Cheezburger's Ben Huh: If GoDaddy Supports SOPA, We're Taking Our 1000+ Domains Elsewhere. And the anti-SOPA rallying of the tech world's best continues.
Just minutes after Ycombinator's Paul Graham disclosed that SOPA-friendly companies would be blacklisted from the YC Demo Day, Cheezburger (as in I Can Has Cheeseburger, FAIL Blog, Know Your Meme, etc.) CEO Ben Huh has announced that they will be moving their array of over 1,000 domains away from GoDaddy unless the registrar recants their support of the act. Will Huh's threat be enough to make GoDaddy back down? Probably not: GoDaddy is a company with plenty of controversies under its belt, so they're more than used to taking a bit of heat. With that said, it will raise awareness to the fact that taking your domains (and thus your money) elsewhere is a totally legitimate form of protest — in fact, Huh's tweet just reminded me that I have (make that had) 2 domains sitting in GoDaddy's yard. Scribd Protests SOPA By Making A Billion Pages On The Web Disappear.
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is delayed in Congress, but it is definitely not dead.
The media company lobbyists and their Congressmen (hello, Lamar Smith!) Are simply regrouping. Some of the more controversial aspects of the bill include transferring liability for copyright infringement to sites that host user-generated content and blocking that content via DNS servers. To highlight the chilling effect this legislation could have on free speech on the Internet, today document-sharing site Scribd is protesting SOPA by making every document disappear word-by-word when you visit the site.
All in all, there are a billion pages of documents on the Scribd. MegaUpload. Twitter CEO and Co-Founders Speak Out Against SOPA. Facebook, Google join to fight Internet piracy legislation. Posted at 10:58 AM ET, 11/15/2011 Nov 15, 2011 03:58 PM EST TheWashingtonPost.
American Censorship Day - Stand up for ████ ███████ : announcements. Protect Creativity & Innovation. Stop the Stop Online Piracy Act - Kickstarter. There is legislation currently being debated in the US Congress — the PROTECT IP Act in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House of Representatives — that would grant copyright owners (Hollywood, the record labels, etc) unprecedented power to shut down or block websites that host even a single piece of copyright-infringing content.
This means that if, say, someone found a single instance of copyright infringement on Kickstarter, all of Kickstarter — every project — could be taken down until it's removed. As you can imagine, this would be disastrous for everyone involved, and it would punish an entire community for the bad behavior (or honest mistake) of one person. Should it pass, SOPA would pose a real danger to sites like Kickstarter, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube under the justification of preventing copyrighted content from being illegally shared.

She is such a zealot; she'd never understand.
Who do you hide your nonexistent religious views from?
Hi! I just joined everyone. :P I hope to really like this place! Hello everyone! :D
Views: 70
My grandfather died recently. He was super worried about my salvation not too long beforehand. I was home for Thanksgiving and he cornered me to ask about it. He started crying. I told him I was saved, but I don't think he believed me. My mom was oblivious to his need to believe I was a Christian, and blabbed it to both grandparents.
My heart breaks when I think of him, just because I know this thing was not resolved. I know he's gone now, and it doesn't hurt him anymore, but I wish his last memory and thought of me could've been positive and happy. I wanted him, of all people, to be pleased with who I had become. I feel like I deeply disappointed him, and that hurts in a way I find hard to express. It's not that he didn't love me after finding out... it's that he loved me so, so much... and only wanted the best for me. Even though I think prayer is useless, there was still something special about knowing he said a prayer for me every, single day. Just knowing I was on his mind every day meant a lot.
Like I said in a different post, I wish my grandma didn't know. I didn't tell her. I feel betrayed that my mom told her.
Cara, that is so terrible that someone else told your grandparents. In a deeply religious family, it's a personal choice to reveal your contrarian ideas.
I feel the same way when my religious family members pledge their prayers to me: I deeply appreciate the intent, even if I don't believe that any effect will follow from the action.
I burn with envy as I read your post. :P
I hope to be as bold and happy with myself as you are one day. I probably will, one day soon.
I always think to myself "If they have an issue with me, that's their problem, not mine."
It's probably mostly a matter of circumstances. As far as atheism goes, I had it pretty easy growing up. Neither of my parents were (or are) religious, and my community and social circles were mostly pretty liberal and open. Atheism was pretty common. I never grew up around my grandparents, so my sense of accountability to them is pretty limited.
While part of my forthrightness with regard to my atheism is the result of my personality, I also grew up with a sense of entitlement toward being an atheist. It's my constitutional right as a Canadian, and more importantly, it's my right as a human being (even if that right is not respected in all places by all people).

Sophisticated vigilantes C.R.I.M.E. take on France over Haiti restitution| September 19, 2011
- Laurence_Fabre_-_August_2011_[Migrant_Matters].MP3
Show Notes:
This past August 26th, I was joined by special guest Laurence Fabre of C.R.I.M.E. (Committee for the Reimbursement of the Indemnity Money Extorted from Haiti).
CRIME, an international group of activists who have impersonated French government officials, have called on the French government to repay Haiti, its former colony, more than $20 billion that had been extorted in the 19th century as penalty for Haiti's fully-deserved and arduous revolution.
What can we expect from one of the most boundlessly and violently cruel of the European colonizers? CRIME explains their actions. Plus, the mechanics of public relations 101 for good prank activism measure.

"No organization recommends prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening in men older than 75 years. Nevertheless, testing rates remain high," write Elizabeth Jaramillo, M.D., of the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, and colleagues in a Research Letter appearing in the October 16 issue of JAMA. The authors examined whether PSA screening rates would vary substantially among primary care physicians (PCPs) and if the variance would depend on which PCP patients used.
Using complete Medicare Part A and B data for Texas, the researchers selected PCPs whose patient panels included at least 20 men 75 years or older without a prior diagnosis of prostate cancer. Primary care physicians were identified as generalist physicians who saw a man on 3 or more occasions in 2009. PSA screening rates for 2010 were estimated. The sample included 1,963 PCPs and 61,351 patients. Overall, 41.1 percent of the men received PSA screening and 28.8 percent received PSA screening ordered by their PCPs. Both rates declined with patient age.
The authors found high variability among PCPs in PSA screening, with a 10-fold difference in rates between the highest and lowest deciles (divided into ten groups) of PCPs. In addition, which PCP a man saw explained approximately 7 times more of the variance in PSA screening than did the measurable patient characteristics.
"The high variability among PCPs in ordering PSA screening for older men requires additional study to understand its causes. It has been suggested that overtesting rates be included as quality measures of PCPs. Medicare data can be used to generate such measures."

Weaving a Life is simple symbolic weaving suitable for both beginning and experienced weavers as a way to explore the inner self and create balance and wholeness in our world.
The Weaving a Life Process is an approach to re-visioning oneself and one's possibilities through a hands-on process of creating a series of simple weavings called keyforms.
The keyforms – amulet, bowl, doll, belt, mask, sacred bundle, and shawl – are elemental forms common to all cultures throughout the world. They become physical manifestations of personal meaning for the one who creates them. The woven forms hold symbolic significance in themselves, and form a kind of vessel or template for the individual to create a unique and personal experience of a path to self-discovery.
Weaving a Life is a personal process for revealing the vision and gifts you already hold inside.
We (Susan Barrett Merrill and husband Richard Merrill) have been accepted for the prestigious Artist in Residence Program of the Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast in Osprey, Florida, in January and February 2015. They provide living and gallery space, and beautiful grounds, plus a modest honorarium. To keep the lights on at home while we work at the Foundation, we have created an IndieGoGo funding campaign. Please share this link widely in your email and social media!
Weaving a Life Education involves one-on-one personal coaching through the seven keyforms of the Weaving a Life Process. Take this distance learning course from anywhere in the world by phone — no computer necessary! You will explore how your values affect what you do in your life.
In the process of weaving the seven Weaving a Life keyforms, you will create a new vision for yourself and your work. You will become qualified to bring the process you experienced to others, and help them create new visions for themselves. And you will see how the the act of creating the keyforms imbues them with meaning and memory of the process of weaving them, so their gift is accessible any time.
Susan Barrett Merrill's ground-breaking book introduces the Weaving a Life process, the seven keyforms, and the deeper meanings of the Weaving a Life Journey Loom™ (the original Seven-Stick Loom). The process and the keyforms are explored in depth, and instructions for weaving each keyform are given at the end of each chapter. This beautiful book contains 144 pages, including over 200 black and white photographs and illustrations, bibliographic sources, a glossary, biographical information on the author, the creator of the keyform instructions, and the designer of the book, as well as an appendix introducing the Earth Loom. Zati is a word in the Urdu language that means from an inner or sacred place.

Reviews of ZATI The Art of Weaving a Life by Susan Barrett Merrill
"Merrill gives us a stunning book...calmly blasting walls between life and art the way Cameron did in The Artist's Way, or Goldberg in Writing Down the Bones. So honestly written, so packed with wisdom..."
--Daniela Kuper, author of Hunger and Thirst
The unique portable EarthLoom used in the book for weaving the seven Weaving a Life keyforms. Light, portable, easily disassembled with the weaving still on it. Weave anywhere: on a plane, in a canoe, by the fireplace, by the lake, at the coffee shop - anywhere you can go, you can take the Journey Loom

You can now use Instagram on Windows 8 phones. For those of us who work in social media (and those who are just addicted to sharing snapshots on Instagram), this was a huge stumbling block for the Windows 8 platform. I know it has been a thorn on my side. While I can't stand Windows 8 on my new desktop and plan to downgrade to Windows 7 later this week, I adore it on my phone… the only problem has been apps, most notably the lack of a truly functional Instagram app for Windows 8.
The recently released Itsdagram while not an "official" release, it has all the functions of Instagram. Itsdagram doesn't just browse it also posts to your account. You can crop and use filters (though I personally think filters are a waste of time). There is no delay in posting like with Instagraph, and unlike Instagraph, Itsdagram also has the functionality to share your Instagram posts on Twitter & Facebook automatically. I actually like the way it is set up better than the official Android version I had been using.
Itsdagram is a release by Daniel Gary. You can trial it to upload one pic for free, full activation of the app is $1.49. Well worth it in my opinion, since an official release is yet to be seen. It is starting to climb up the new+rising list in the Windows app store, so you can find it there, otherwise just search it by name in the store.

My Summer Story
Share yours. It could win $25. Or a Kindle Fire!
Jul 2, 2012
Noodling Around at the Community Pool with Family
It was a simple afternoon of water noodles, sandwiches, watermelon and a dip in the deep end. To this southeast Michigan kid, it was a perfect summer day!
I always loved to swim, so when my dad told me I was going to my aunt's neighborhood pool, I was so excited! When we got to my aunt's house, we picked up my aunt and cousin, Stephanie. When we got to the pool, I changed into my swimsuit and went to find a table. When I got in the water, it was really cold, but I got used to it. I played on a noodle for a long time in the shallow pool. I tried to ride it like a horse, but I kept falling off.
Then I had lunch. I had a sandwich and watermelon. Then I went in the deep end. I got on something that you can lie on and floated around. Then Stephanie pushed me off and got on it. We kept doing it until I got out. Then we went home. I had a great time!

Jay Carney to Join CNN as Political Commentator (FishbowlDC)
Former White House press secretary Jay Carney has joined CNN as a political commentator Washington bureau chief Sam Feist announced Wednesday. His first assignment was on the network's coverage pertaining to President Barack Obama's remarks on ISIS. TVNewser "I'm thrilled to be joining CNN at a time when there is so much happening in the nation and the world," said Carney. "Jay's unique experience as both a journalist and a White House press secretary make him an invaluable voice for the network as we cover the final two years of the Obama Administration and look ahead to the coming campaigns," said Feist. THR / The Live Feed Carney, who served as Time magazine's Washington bureau chief before departing to the White House, resigned from his administration role on May 30. Within days, speculation swirled about which media role he would pursue — a book and a cable news job were both mentioned. On June 18, less than a month after leaving the White House, The Washington Post reported that CNN already had made "a fine offer" to Carney for a network role. Mediaite Carney's new employer hardly comes as a surprise, as many expected him to join one of the three major cable networks after he stepped down from the podium in June — though his name was also bandied about for a position at Apple or a startup. Politico Carney said when he left the White House in May that he'd maintain a public presence in the media. He also signed with the Washington Speakers Bureau. Carney joins a long line of former White House press secretaries making the jump to cable: Robert Gibbs joined CNBC after leaving the White House, Dana Perino is currently a host on Fox News, and George Stephanopoulos is now an ABC News anchor.

Buenos Aires: The land of grass-fed beef and gluten-free hot dogs (FOOD PHOTOS!)
It's good to be back at PCC, especially when I find sweet delights like these in the kitchen:
Blissfully sweet organic strawberries.
But how invigorating it was to be far and then farther away for a couple of weeks of blissful vacation. My husband and I traveled to Nasvhille, Buenos Aires and a small historic town in Uruguay. Suffice it to say, much (and varied) eating commenced.
Easter spread at my husband's grandparents' home outside Nashville. Delectable (especially those turnip greens), but counting my lucky stars to be an omnivore in this moment.
Many farms nearby. This red barn looked gorgeous against the lush green backdrop.
We arrived in Buenos Aires exhausted after a 10-hour flight. What better way to wake up and enjoy a sunny morning than with aromatic, full-bodied espresso?
Breakfast of champions.
Now for an express culinary tour of some dining highlights. Buenos Aires is a city that adores its food -- its countless restaurants, cafes, street vendors are testament. And Argentina is a nation with many, many immigrants, which, as we've seen in our country, means diverse cooking methods, ingredients and fusion. Whenever I'm able to travel I feel blessed with the opportunity to see another country's soul through its food. I bet many of you do, too.
Wonderful patisseries like Las Violetas abound.
Imagine one of these melting in your mouth whilst sipping hot tea or caffe con leche.
Busy lunchtime crowd at Florida Garden cafe eats standing up at the counter, savoring flavorful coffee that's a blend of two kinds of beans.
Fresh-squeezed orange juice, right on the street.
A lovely greenmarket.
And now, it's time for lunch.
Empanadas are just about the most delicious thing ever and easy to eat out of hand (if I lived there, I'd take these on many a picnic. On this plate: Ham and cheese, beet and chard (my favorite), juicy steak with chimichurri and chicken with wonderful spices.
Fresh. Creamy. Just one example of the wonderful range of starters that came with every meal.
Steak and hard-cooked eggs are staples of many an Argentinian meal. This sandwich delivered burst upon burst of flavor, from thinly sliced tender steak, eggs, chimichurri sauce, fresh tomatoes, all assembled within warm pita.
Enjoying fresh, housemade pasta at a sidewalk cafe in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, a historic town and UNESCO heritage site.
Gelato is grand no matter what time of day.
We spied many bread deliverymen throughout the city, making their rounds of the restaurants and cafes.
Spotted this gluten-free hot dog ad on the side of a bus.
A close-up.
Now it's time for dinner. Though dinner often didn't even start until well after 9 p.m.!
Another pre-meal "snack" -- this at Cabana Las Lilas, considered one of the top parrillas (steakhouses) in Buenos Aires. On the plate: Roasted red peppers in olive oil, tender roast beef, grilled tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, sauteed eggplant with baby mushrooms and succulent roast chicken in the center, flanked with fresh crackers and breadsticks.
Steaks awaiting the grills at Las Lilas. This restaurant owns its own grass-fed cattle herd (which grazes on the pampas outside of the city) and controls every step, from birth to cooking. That's quality control at its finest, and you can taste the difference.
Two wood-fire baked pizzas, with wonderfully chewy crusts.
More fresh, housemade pasta.
And for desser (don't fret: Those prices are in Argentine pesos).

Great photos!
Thank you for sharing the pictures from your trip. Is the pastry in the Breakfast of Champions shot a croissant or a special local type of pastry? (Also is that a shot of booze or H2O in the background? No judgments, just curious is that's the size of water glasses!)
Also, I love the picture of the juice stand. You know she is an expert because she is wearing a white shirt even with the apron. No level of carefulness ever keeps me from ending up with bits of pulp in my hair and juice squirts on my shirt when squeezing citrus.

Oh also...
That is the most organized produce stand I have ever seen. The fruit is in a grid!
April 23, 2010 at 12:06 PM — FreshPickedSeattle
Many thanks!
The pastry in that shot is a type of medialuna (half-moon in Spanish). Different cafes had different types, some with yeast and some not. I preferred the yeasty kind, which were easy to tear apart and enjoy. And nope, too early for drinking ;) That little glass is filled with sparkling water as a chaser to the coffee!

Love your observation about the juice lady! I bet you're right :)

Sparkling Chaser
What a great idea, is that how coffee is normally served there? I would be a fan of that becoming a trend here. I'm always ordering a coffee drink and cool beverage simultaneously.

Sparkling chaser
At the nicer cafes, yes! It definitely was great as a palate cleanser. I prefer it to mints.

Really love your post. Quite
Really love your post. Quite amazing. I loved foods and how it's been done cooking. But still, there's another lettuce recall. I've certainly not noticed as numerous produce recalls as I have observed within the recent years. The latest recall is a lettuce recall specifically from a grower in Arizona.

The brush surrounding Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station remains as the last Orange County habitat for the burrowing birds.
Five facts about the bird:
Source: burrowingowlconservation.org
The burrowing owl isn't the only species that Schallmann and Gilligan keep an eye out for on the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station. In fact, five other species on the base are protected under federal or state law.
Light footed clapper rail – federally endangered – a gray-and-cinnamon-colored marsh bird the size of a hen
Least tern – federally endangered – at 9 inches long, they're the smallest member of the gull and tern family
Green sea turtle – federally endangered in Florida and threatened elsewhere – look for the heart-shaped shell and pair of scales between the eyes
Western snowy plover – federally threatened – a one- or two-ounce shorebird that ranges up the Pacific coast from Mexico
Belding's savannah sparrow – state endangered – the brown songbird is one of the few birds to stay in California's coastal salt marshes yearound
Sources: Bob Schallmann, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife
9 years since the California Fish and Game Commission rejected a petition to list the western burrowing owl as endangered
3 or 4 pairs of breeding burrowing owls at the Seal Beach base, according to biologists
0 pairs in the rest of Orange County
4 or 5 fledgling burrowing owls born in Orange County this year (all on base)
Some people complain that there's no more space to build in Orange County. But don't let any burrowing owls hear – they wouldn't give a hoot about the fight over the latest apartment complex.
These diminutive, brown-flecked owls don't live in trees – in fact, they prefer open grassland, where they live like tufted squatters in abandoned burrows. But they're squatters who are nearly extinct in coastal Southern California because the grassland they need to live is almost gone.
The Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station, biologists and conservationists believe, is the only place the burrowing owls can still find the right habitat to settle down in breeding pairs along the Southern California coast between Santa Barbara and just north of San Diego.
"This type of foraging and nesting habitat, which includes flat land and desert, has all been usurped by developers," said environmental consultant Peter Bloom, one of the bird-watchers tracking the owl population.
In May or June, burrowing owls at the base gave birth to owlets, four or five depending on who's counting. They've spent the summer learning to fly and they'll be off on their winter migration by the beginning of September to the deserts of Mexico, by the biologists' best guess.
While they're gone, the scientists will maintain their burrows, both the ones the owls have stolen from ground squirrels and ones scientists built for them, to preserve a once-widespread, still very popular bird in an area that isn't as open as it used to be.
"It's sort of become iconic of the rangelands and grasslands of California," said Andrea Jones, director of the Important Bird Areas Program at Audubon California.
Burrowing owls aren't endangered in the U.S. or California, though they're on a watch list in the state as their numbers dwindle. Today, it would be easiest to find them by taking a three-hour drive to the Imperial Valley, where they seem to enjoy the agricultural drainage pipes.
But Bob Schallmann, the Navy biologist managing the three or four pairs of breeding burrowing owls on the Naval Weapons Station, remembers a time when they were widespread in Orange County.
The owl is special to bird-watchers like Schallmann; it's one of the few species that hang out on the ground and choose to occasionally hunt during the day. It tends to stand on perches to look for food.
Schallmann remembers seeing the spindly legged birds in vacant lots when he worked at a Los Alamitos summer camp in the 1970s.
"They were in Los Alamitos all the time before it got built up," he said.
Burrowing owls were abundant until the 1970s from Seal Beach to Laguna Niguel, Santa Ana to Newport's Back Bay, according to a petition filed with the state in 2003 by the Center for Biological Diversity.
The 8- to 10-inch-tall owls thrive on flat, treeless land where they can spot their meals of insects and small rodents and avoid predators, Jones said. Unfortunately for the owls, that's exactly the terrain developers acquired a taste for in the '60s and '70s in Orange County, and their habitat shrank fast.
Worse, their burrows began disappearing as developers killed off the ground squirrels whose abandoned burrows the owls use for homes.

in the above areas frequently co-occur, contributing to health care inequities and disparities.
Routine screening for risk factors and unhealthful behaviors that emerge during adolescence is not available or accessible for most adolescents.
Many health care providers who treat adolescents fail to adhere to recommended prevention guidelines, to screen for appropriate risk factors and unhealthful behaviors that emerge during adolescence, and to provide effective counseling that would reduce risks and foster health promotion.
Disparities and biases affect the quality of health services for adolescents and deserve serious consideration in any efforts to improve access to appropriate services and reduce inequities in the health system.
Evidence shows that health services that are confidential increase the acceptability of services and the willingness of adolescents to seek them, especially for issues related to sexual behavior, reproductive health, mental health, and substance use.
Existing state and federal policies generally protect the confidentiality of adolescents' health information when they are legally allowed to consent to their own care.
This chapter introduces a framework for examining the strengths and limitations of current health system approaches for adolescents. This framework comprises five major objectives—accessibility, acceptability, appropriateness, effectiveness, and equity—that serve as criteria for assessing the use, adequacy, and quality of adolescent health services. The chapter then reviews the current array of mainstream and safety-net primary care services, as well as specialty services, that respond to the adolescent health needs identified in Chapter 2; a brief discussion of inpatient hospital services for adolescents is also presented. This review is followed by a discussion of what is known about adolescents' use of health services.

Statistics show that amusement park rides are relatively safe. The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) estimates the chance of someone incurring a serious injury on a ride is 1 in 9 million, and the chance of a fatal injury is 1 in 750 million.
When mishaps do occur -- as 2 did last week -- they attract attention. In Arlington, TX, a roller coaster was shut down after riders were stranded 14 stories high for 30 minutes and then forced to walk down a steep stairwell. A US Army veteran, who lost both legs in the Iraq War, was thrown from a roller coaster in upstate New York. The Consumer Protection Safety Commission compiled its latest report on amusement-ride related injuries and deaths in 2005. It estimates that an average of 4.4 deaths took place from rides each year from 1987 to 2002.
Rides at US amusement parks are regulated by states, not the federal government. The IAAPA claims that 43 out of 50 states regulate fixed amusement parks. The CPSC provides a list of state safety officials. For mobile amusement parks, such as county fairs, contact event organizers to find out how they regulate and ensure the safety of the rides.
The IAAPA suggests the following safety tips for any amusement or thrill ride:
Obey listed age, height, weight, and health restrictions.
Observe all posted ride safety rules.
Keep hands, arms, legs and feet inside the ride at all times.
Remain seated in the ride until it comes to a complete stop and you are instructed to exit.
Follow all verbal instructions given by ride operators or provided by recorded announcements.
Always use the safety equipment provided and never attempt to wriggle free of or loosen restraints or other safety devices.
Parents with young children should make sure that their children understand safe and appropriate ride behavior.
Never force anyone, especially children, to ride attractions they don't want to ride.
If you see any unsafe behavior or condition on a ride, report it to a supervisor or manager immediately.

This is probably more for S+TMs, but what kind of stuff from the hospital do you get for free? I know there are mesh undies, bulb suckers, pads, etc....but any "fun" stuff? =) My hospital told me that when I pack my bag, to leave quite a bit of room for stuff from the hospital.
Also, how many blankets do they give your LO to take home?
I agree with PP, it totally depends on where you live and even which hospital. With DS, we got all the standard stuff (open diaps, wipes, two blankets, 6 pre-made formula bottles, mess undies and pads for me, peri bottle, nose sucker, binky, two hats, side snap t-shirt w/ hospital's name on it) but not much else. Just a goodie bag from the formula company with a bottle and some powder formula and a book from the hospital about baby's first year.
My sis who delivered in the same town, but a diff hospital got way more fun stuff like a bath tub and a fancy swaddler - similar to what PP mentioned. Plus the night her son was born they brought a candle light steak dinner in for mom and dad.
sadsadie:I love how people actually think this stuff is free, it isn't. Believe me, either you or your insurance is paying for it! Hospitals are a business like any other. They don't stay in business by giving away free stuff.
When I had DD1 3.5 years ago here's what I got, things might have changed since then, I don't know:
For me: Nice water bottle with the hospital's name on it, a bag, mesh undies, regular pads, ice pads, slipper socks with grippers at the bottom, a suringe to clean myself with, all sorts of breastfeeding things
For DD1: diapers, wipes, formula, shampoo, nose suction thing, knitted hat that volunteers make, and a receiving blanket (not sure if I was supposed to take the receiving blanket, but I took one home) and a package from one of the formula companies with free samples and a botle bag and ice packs.
I was told if it's not glued down take it because insurance is going to be charged anyway, and they can't use anything they give you for another person, so it just gets thrown out anyway. We also took a container of the hospital antibacterial hand sanitizer they kept outside every door in the hospital - it's moisturized and amazing.
I'd take a couple extra bags, for all the stuff they're going to give you, and the flowers/ballons/gifts, that you may get sent to the hospital.
sadsadie:I love how people actually think this stuff is free, it isn't. Believe me, either you or your insurance is paying for it! Hospitals are a business like any other. They don't stay in business by giving away free stuff.
I grabbed what was left in our room except for the shirt, hat and blankets.

Sept. 14, 2012: We've scoured the Web to find the best and most compelling animal stories, videos and photos. And it's all right here.
The amazing acrobatic dog troupe won the grand prize — $1 million, and a chance to headline a Las Vegas show — on the NBC show's season 7 finale. The crowd went wild on Thursday night when it was revealed that the canine act and their father-and-son trainers, Richard and Nicholas Olate, had defeated comedian Tom Cotter. Judge Sharon Osbourne rushed the stage to congratulate them. "What a phenomenal night," said judge Howard Stern. This is a big year for talented dogs: In May, Britain's Got Talent gave its top prize to Ashleigh Buter and her dancing dog, Pudsey. — Read it at the San Jose Mercury News, and watch the final eliminations on NBC
They were found in eastern Africa, and they all share one thing in common: large, strangely shaped noses. Until now, the bats were believed to belong to a single species, but researchers from South Africa's University of Venda studied subtle differences in sonar calls, skull shape and DNA to determine that they were four separate species of horseshoe bats. The findings were just published in the online journal PLOS One. — Read it at Live Science
While on a family trip in Alaska, 16-year-old Kate Curtis caught an 88-inch, 375-pound halibut, which was photographed and then released. This isn't the teen's first big catch, either. When she was 11, she reeled in a fish as big as she was. "It was really cool touching it," Curtis said of her latest catch. — Watch it at CNN
A 3-week-old Sumatran tiger cub at the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, Wash., made his public debut on Thursday. The hand-reared cub, whose species is critically endangered, now weighs almost 9 pounds. "He has his own personality — he's definitely getting a little sassy," said one of his keepers of the squealing tiger. "At this point, our goal is just to continue to help him grow into a nice, healthy cub." The zoo is also asking for help in naming the cutie: Voters can select their top pick from six names — Dumai, Moro, Rokan, Satu, Toba or Tunggal — via an online survey. — Watch the video on YouTube, and see the photos from The News Tribune
Plus: Olympic medalists Justin Gatlin and Carmelita Jeter met their namesakes — two cheetah cubs — at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. The speed cheetahs were named after the fastest American male and female runners to compete at the London Olympic Games. The cubs showed little interest in the runners' medals, but they received nicknames from Gatlin and Jeter: Gat the Cat and Lita the Cheetah. — Read it at the National Zoo
Maybe Bob-bob wanted a chance to chase Mickey Mouse. The 14-month-old black cat shocked his owner, Ethel Maze, when she opened her suitcase after checking into an Orlando, Fla., hotel for a Disney World vacation. The cat had apparently climbed inside while Maze was packing, made it through airport screening undetected and was loaded onto the plane for the 10-hour flight from Ohio. When Bob-bob was finally freed, "he hid for about seven hours in our hotel room and only in the middle of the night came out and started licking us and purring," said Maze. — Read it at ABC News via Yahoo

We are so familiar with the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. It was a brief moment of triumph as people laid down their cloaks like a red carpet and waved palm branches with abandon. What a frenzy of welcome for this superhero. (Luke 19:35-38)
Immediately after, Luke says Jesus wept over that city. "If this day you only knew what makes for peace, but it is hidden from your eyes." Jesus left Jerusalem a week later, carrying a cross to Calvary hill where he was crucified as a criminal — and people wept.

Wolf Appliance Company announced that it will debut its induction cooktop at retail showrooms in the fall 2005. The company is reportedly one of the first to make residential induction cooking available in the U.S. and Canada.
Induction cooking uses the transfer of magnetic energy rather than flames or electric elements to generate heat. When an iron or magnetic pan is placed on the cooktop, electricity passes through coils beneath the glass surface to produce a magnetic field that heats the pan directly. Within the magnetic field, molecules in the pan vibrate at very high frequencies, and the friction creates instant heat.
The 15-in wide unit contains two heating zones, a 6-in diam front zone and an 8.5-in diam rear zone, for a total of 3,600 W of power. While the zones are simultaneously capable of producing 1,800 W each, a special "Hi-Power" mode on the rear element can increase its power to 2,200 W by diverting power from the front element. According to Wolf, this allows a cook to quickly boil water or sear meat and still maintain normal cooking functions in the front.
The induction cooktop features illuminated touch controls with graduated lighting, hot- surface indicators on both zones, universal off and child safety lock keys, and "True Melt" and "True Simmer" settings on all elements.
Additionally, the induction cooktop features built-in sensors to detect boil-dry situations and a temperature limiter to ensure that the safe operating temperature of glass ceramic is never exceeded. The company says the glass surface features a subtle crosshatch pattern to reduce the visibility of scratches and that the black ceramic top is also resistant to staining, impact, and heat.
The induction unit joins Wolf's six other 15-in integrated modules that are designed to allow homeowners the ability to mix and match multiple cooktop units. Consumers can choose among an electric cooktop, electric grill, electric steamer, electric fryer, gas multifunction cooktop, dual burner cooktop, and the new induction cooktop to customize their kitchens.

Many times, talent is not always the telling factor in championship runs for athletic teams. The intangibles is usually what sets them apart.
The 2012 Ottawa University volleyball team will be remembered as one of the best in school history. The Lady Braves are on the verge of an undefeated Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference run. Ottawa needs two victories this weekend on the road to complete the regular-season sweep.
Ottawa clinched its fourth conference title overall and third KCAC championship Monday with a straight sets win over Bethel in Wilson Field House.
The Lady Braves (25-5, 16-0) understand there is more to accomplish and did not have a big celebration. The mission is not completed.
"Teams will either get better, stay the same or get worse. We want to get better," senior Kristen Hendrickson said. "Kansas Wesleyan is good. We will be playing them on their senior night [on Saturday]."
Winning a championship is still an emotional moment.
"I started to tear up after coach said we were conference champions," senior libero Katie Jensen said. "We have come a long way since our freshman year. We have gotten better every year. We are very determined. We wanted this so bad."
"It is nice to get something like this," senior setter Chrissie Jeannin said about the regular-season title. "We have to play like we have been playing. We have to keep pushing. It would be nice to finish it off."
Step by step process
Putting together a special season like this has been process. Coach Tom Symons took over the program four years ago after the Lady Braves went 5-29 in 2008.
This year's senior group was his first recruiting class. One which he got onto late because of his hiring in the early part of 2009. His first team won 14 matches and Ottawa won 18 and finished second in the KCAC in 2010. The Lady Braves slipped to 15 wins and fifth place in 2011.
The returners made it mission to put those disappointments behind and work on becoming a championship-caliber team.
Hendrickson said this past spring was a turning point.
"We were in the weight room every Tuesday and Thursday mornings," she said. "We came in on our own [to work] and during the summer to get better."
Jeannin said it did not happen overnight.
"It has been a long time coming," she said. "We have really good chemistry. We all want to win. Everybody is ready to play every point."
Jensen said the players grew together during the off-season.
"We are like a family," Jensen said. "It does not matter who coach puts on the floor. We can always adjust. We can all play with each other."
Hendrickson said, "We came together and played as a team. We worked really hard."
Hendrickson, Jensen and Jeannin have been part of Symons' program from the start. The trio has been the backbone of the team for four years.
Hendrickson has been all-conference performer every season. Jensen is a two-time all-conference player. Jeannin has been a stalwart at running the team.
Hendrickson and Jensen grew up together playing volleyball on the same club teams and at Ottawa High School.
"Katie, it will be hard to stop playing with her," Hendrickson said. "She has always been that one person I could go and talk to you because I known her so long. I feel really comfortable playing with her. It helps a lot.
"Chrissie, we have gotten really close over the years. It helps to have that connection."
Through the years, Symons kept adding pieces to the puzzle. The Lady Braves are a well-rounded team in all parts of the game.
"We have not had as many hitters as we do this year. It is nice to mix it up," Jeannin said.
Hendrickson said opponents can't defend the whole Lady Braves' arsenal.
"They never know who we are going to go to. Our blocking has really improved," she said.
Sister act
Jensen and Jeannin have Black and Gold running in their veins. Both had older sisters play for the Lady Braves volleyball team.
Jensen's sister Kaci [Bethel] Evans played on the 2001 KCAC championship team. Jeannin's older sister, Laura, played from 2005 to 2008 and is among the program leaders in digs for a match, season and career.
For Jensen, this was her final chance to match her sister's team success.
"I have been telling the girls all year long we have to win conference," Jensen said. "Kaci was my coach growing up. It was a huge bond. She was No. 6 in college. I wanted to be like my big sister. That is why I chose the number."
Jensen was part of the 2001 group. She spent time with the players on the bench.
"It does not seem that long ago. It seemed like it was yesterday, I was bringing water to the girls," Jensen said. "I remember going to nationals with Kaci's team."
Now she can't wait for the opportunity to play in the NAIA Tournament for her hometown team with many of her best friends.
A special time indeed.

Just finished "Dead Dry" by Sarah Andrews which features Em Hansen, a forensic geologist. The "mystery" part of it was good, but even more interesting, especially living in the West, was all the info about water conditions, the auqifer & geology in general. Interesting & a bit scary. It's a good series if you like to learn a little something with your mysteries (besides ways of bumping someone off) She's speaking at a Friends of the Library meeting on the 24th & I was looking forward to going. But It turns out that SIL's wedding is at 11:00 & she's speaking at 1:30....think I'll be missing her talk. Oh well - she's local, so maybe another time.

Hi Teri,
I have read all the Jacqelyn Mitchard books-I think the one I just read is my favourite, it is her latest book.
I have now finished Falling Angels-the only other one I have read of hers is Girl With A Pearl Earring which I loved and I will definitely read her others soon. I love the "feel" of her books.

Some of us fell in love with Mark Twain the first time we read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and some of us understood his genius much later on, when we were finally old enough to appreciate his humor and satiric commentary on humanity. Twain's polished use of irony is ever-present throughout the brief book, Advice to Little Girls, re-published this year with beautiful, and equally provocative, illustrations by Vladimir Radunsky. I loved it immediately.
Whether or not Twain intended this book to fall into the hands of sweet little girls, we'll never know. And I'm undecided about sharing it with Maggie. Of course, I want to raise a creative, independent thinking, strong daughter, but somehow I think Twain's "advice" might give her more ideas than she is (and I am) ready for. She's already managed to exhaust me with her picky eating habits, her refusal to brush her hair, ever, and her snail's pace at doing just about anything I ask of her.
