Advancement of mobile technology, improved infrastructure and smart phone revolution has allowed people to perform much more with their mobile phones than ever before. This has resulted in an exponential demand and growth of mobile applications. The mobile app market is thriving to great heights. More than hundreds of handsets are capable of installing and running apps and a swerve of big-name app stores are striving to compete. It is expected that the market for mobile applications will be "as big as the internet", peaking at 10 million apps in 2020. Presently India having over 800+ million mobile connections and 50-150m mobile internet users it is evident mobile apps are becoming very popular. By 2015 India is expected to have 237 million mobile internet "activated" connections. Entrepreneurs are focusing a lot on mobile apps which are internet rather than SMS based. Mobile App Stats in India - 100 million apps being downloaded in India every month. The global app market was at $4.1 billion in 2009; set to hit $17.5 billion by the end of 2012. India's app developer base is estimated at 250,000. With world's foremost brands recognizing the need of their presence in at least one of the top applications stores and the average mobile application per brand rising over 25 (for top 100 brands, 250 in case of media companies globally); the mobile applications market has took new role in defining the marketing strategy of businesses. This has opened up new horizons for already booming mobile applications market and provides faster acceleration for the market. Though these global brands do not look to make money directly with apps; however, the apps are adding up their brand equity. The surge in number of app stores and availability of multi-platform apps has also reshaping the future of the market. The excitement around mobile applications is going to have a major impact on our economy, and our way of life. It is with great pleasure that we invite you all to the "Mobile Apps Summit 2012" and wish you all the very best. KEY THEMES DISCUSSED AT THIS CONFERENCE:-

WASHINGTON. October 19, 2013. – On Thursday, the debt went up by $328 billion. In one day, the government borrowed $328 billion! Like a real housewife of Beverly Hills, having just been given a brand new American Express black card, the Obama Administration wasted absolutely no time at all.
To put that in perspective, in 2007 the deficit for the entire year was only $161 billion. The budget for 2007 was the last budget that was passed by a Republican Congress before it was voted out in the 2006 elections.
SEE RELATED: PHILLIPS: The last days of the Republican Party
The Obama Administration is not spending money to build America. The military is not being built up. Roads, highways and bridges are not being built in record numbers. There is nothing for real Americans in this record spending.
So where is that money going?
Part of that money is going to fund liberal groups. Obamacare may not work as a healthcare system but it is turning into a massive slush fund and full employment agency for liberal activists.
SEE RELATED: Why trust any budget deal after 2011's $2.1 trillion debt hike ripoff?
Navigators are given unprecedented access to the information the government has on any American foolish enough to apply for Obamacare. Navigators get access to tax information, financial information and social security information. In short, navigators get access to all of the information needed for identity theft.
Navigators are not subject to a background check or to a criminal history check. In Kansas, an illegal alien activist who earlier this year helped storm the home of Kansas Secretary of State Chris Kobach has been hired as an "Obamacare navigator."
In New York, an illegal alien was hired as an Obamacare navigator.
What does happen to a real American who is a victim of identity theft from an Obamacare navigator?
SEE RELATED: Republicans' unavoidable defeat on shutdown and debt ceiling debate
As long as Obamacare can be a massive slush fund for liberal activists, the Obama Administration does not care what happens to real Americans. They are simply on their own.
Not all of the money is going to slush funds. There are the occasional bribes that are necessary, such as the $3 billion dollar earmark for a Kentucky Dam for Mitch McConnell as he surrendered to the Obama Administration.
America's debt has now shot over $17 trillion. Debtors never prosper. That is a firm rule of economics.
It applies to individuals, corporations and to nations as well. America is drowning in debt.
But America has a much more serious problem.
Thanks to the Republican surrender caucus, the insane spending antics of the Obama Administration are only going to get worse. It would be one thing if the GOP had fought the Obama Administration and lost. They did not even try.
Now, with Mitch McConnell, three months away from the next budget deadline already assuming the Republican position of preemptive surrender, Barack Obama knows he can demand any spending amount he wants and he will get it.
We are seeing an unprecedented shift in power from the Congress, where our founding fathers wanted the majority of power to reside, to the Executive branch.
Barack Obama may be the most powerful President America has ever seen. He relentlessly pushes the boundaries of power and the Republican surrender caucus simply acquiesces.
The Obama administration, through its various agencies, has expanded rule-making power beyond anything Congress contemplated. As the Obama Administration wastes money, expands its power at the expense of Congress and thumbs its nose at Congress and Congress' oversight authority, the Republicans simply and meekly surrender.
Debt is a great danger to this nation.
A greater danger is a cowardly opposition party that is more interested in being bribed with benefits from the public treasury than standing for principle.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Chalerm: I'm Thaksin's servant

Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung insists he will not answer questions from the media if a Channel 7 reporter is among the interviewing group, and has admitted he has been serving fugitive former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra for a long time.
"From now on, I won't give interviews if Ms Somjit Nawakruasunthorn is in that particular group of reporters because I don't want to have a quarrel.
"I've been Thaksin's servant for a long time -- don't you know that?" Mr Chalerm told reporters on Monday.

So i finally got my hands on Anima and i was planning to make a Psychic/Ki character. So the question here now is. Do i need to take the advantage "Access to One Psychic Discipline" to gain the option to affiliate myself to a dicipline.
Here is the iffy part, under the PP section "Affinity with a psychic discipline". It states that players need to spend PP permanently invest 1 PP to gain affinity. No other prerequisites are stated, and an example is even given that a player can affiliate him/her-self to all discipline if they but spend their PPs.
I am working under the assumption that the psychic powers are similar to magic in terms of acquiring them. To access magic spells (to my understanding, correct me if i am wrong.), one must first pick the advantage "The Gift". So working along that lines, i would assume psychic powers are not something everyone has access to, thus needing us to take the advantage "Access to One Psychic Discipline" before we are allowed to manifest psychic abilities.
I found it quite perplexing that, in the book itself. Such requirements are not stated clearly and concisely. Even under the magic section, The Gift was only touched on fluff wise with implications that one must have the gift before using magic. It would be nice if it was stated clearly like "Players are required to pick the advantage, The Gift before they are allowed access to their magical abilities".
This is all under the assumption that my original train of thought is correct. The other possibility i believe is the advantages like The Gift and Access to One Psychic Discipline, are there so players need to choose them in order to get Magic/Psychic advantages? It is stated under the magic/psychic advantages, that one must first have taken The Gift and an advantage that grants access to psychic before they can obtain their magic/psychic advantages.
Any ideas?

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Mashamba, Mulalo Gift URN etd-11212005-093416 Document Title Process potentiometric sequential injection titrations Degree MSc (Chemistry) Department Chemistry Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof J F Van Staden Committee Chair Keywords
- sequentuial injection analysis
- volumetric analysis automation
Date 2002-04-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract Interest in the automation of titration arise from the fact that many acid-base titrations in the process industries rely on manual titration which is time consuming. Miniaturization of these titration processes becomes attractive because of the reduced reagent consumption. These industries must produce higher quality products economically and in a friendly environment.Due to its ease of automation, ability to handle concentrated solutions and simplicity, the application of sequential injection titration is an ideal tool in process effluent streams, food industries, beverage industries and production plants.
The sequential injection titration system was optimised with respect to all instrumental parameters of the system and applied for acid-base titrations. The results obtained showed high reliability and reproducibility. The system is fully computerised, inexpensive and suitable for on-line monitoring.

The new cases occurred in seven counties, including one case in Sunflower County.
Two positive cases had been reported in Bolivar County prior to Monday's statement.
There have been 233 cases statewide in 2012, including five deaths.
This is the highest number of cases reported in one year in the state's history.
The total number of cases in 2012 has more than quadrupled from 2011's total of 52 cases.
Five deaths also occurred in 2011.
The MSDH only reports laboratory-confirmed cases to the public.
Symptoms of WNV infection are often mild and may include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, a rash, muscle weakness or swollen lymph nodes.
In a small number of cases, infection can result in encephalitis or meningitis, which can lead to paralysis, coma or possibly death.
MSDH is currently working with city and county officials to help guide spraying efforts based on the location of cases.
The agency has developed and printed educational materials and door-hangers for mayors, boards of supervisors and other elected officials that are now being distributed locally through civic groups, churches and volunteer organizations.
The MSDH is also working with the Mississippi High School Athletics Association and the Mississippi Independent Schools Association in announcing public service messages at high school football games and other athletic events.
Peak season for WNV is July, August, and September in Mississippi, but mosquito-borne illnesses can occur year-round.
Mississippians should take appropriate precautions to reduce the risk of contracting WNV and other mosquito-borne illnesses
These precautions include: remove sources of standing water, especially after rainfall; install or repair screens on windows and doors; if exposed to mosquito-prone areas, wear protective clothing (such as long-sleeved shirts and pants) during peak times from dusk until dawn, and use repellents containing DEET, or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered repellents for use on human skin.
Always read the manufacturer's directions carefully before putting on a repellent.
For more information on WNV and other mosquito-borne illnesses, a checklist to reduce the mosquito population in and around homes, and recommended mosquito repellents, visit the MSDH website at www.HealthyMS.com/westnile or call the WNV toll-free hotline from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at 1-877-WST-NILE (1-877-978-6453).

ACTION | Miscellaneous |
Notice of Deletion of Gulf Metals Industries Site from the State Superfund Registry The executive director of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (commission) is issuing this notice of deletion of the Gulf Metals Industries site from the state registry, the list of state Superfund sites. The state registry lists the contaminated sites which may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety or the environment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment. The site was originally proposed for listing on the state registry on October 16, 1987 (12 TexReg 3858). The site, including all land, structures, and other improvements, is approximately 16 acres located on Telean Street, northeast of the intersection of Mykawa Road and Almeda-Genoa Road in Houston, Harris County, Texas. In addition, the site included any areas where hazardous substances came to be located as a result, either directly or indirectly, of releases of hazardous substances from the site. The site is a former sand and gravel pit that was used for disposal of hazardous materials, including oily sludges, from the 1950s - 1967. From 1965 - 1967, the site was operated as a commercial landfill for the disposal of metal slag and other foundry debris, including furnace sand and refractory brick. Use of the site as a disposal facility stopped in 1981. The site respondents have satisfied the requirements of the administrative order for the remedial investigation/feasibility study. The site has been accepted into the commission's Voluntary Cleanup Program and is therefore eligible for deletion from the state registry as provided by 30 TAC §335.344(c)(5). In accordance with §335.344(b), the commission held a public meeting to receive comments on the intended deletion of the site on June 4, 2002, at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 6320 Madden Lane, Houston, Texas. The complete public file, including a transcript of the public meeting, may be viewed during regular business hours at the commission's Records Management Center, Building E, First Floor, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, telephone numbers (800) 633-9363 or (512) 239-2920. Fees are charged for photocopying file information. In accordance with Texas Health and Safety Code, §361.188(d), a notice will be filed in the real property records of Harris County, Texas stating that the site has been deleted from the state registry. All inquiries regarding the deletion of the site should be directed to Mr. Joe Shields, Community Relations, Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, telephone numbers (800) 633-9363 or (512) 239-0666.

Gurkhas Restaurant:
From the rich cream based curries of INDIA to the fresh distinctive flavors of Nepal, Gurkhas' chefs bring 15 years of experience to each of our entrees. Come in to night for an experience and tastes that won't be forgotten.
The Gurkhas- Bravest of Brave
"As I write these last words, my thoughts return to you who were my comrades, the stubborn and indomitable peasants of Nepal. Once more I hear the laughter with which you greeted every hardship. Once more, I see you in your bivouacs or about your fires, on forced march or in the trenches, now shivering with wet and cold, now scorched by a pitiless and burning sun. Uncomplaining you endure hunger and thirst and wounds; and at the last your unwavering lines disappear into the smoke and wrath of battle. Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had country more faithful friends than you".
The words of Professor Sir Ralph Turner, MC, Served with the 3rd Queen Alexandra's Own Gurkha Rifles in the First World War
The other moves around quite a bit. Most people around the world would prefer not to encounter them at any time, in any place under any circumstances- the equally heart-stopping Gurkha Soldiers. The Gurkhas rank at the top of the list of the world's all-time most formidable fighting men. Ounce of ounce only nitroglycerine packs more devastating power. No berserkers they, but it is highly inadvisable to disagree seriously with them, individually or collectively. This, it is widely accepted, would be as fool-hardly as attempting to embrace a running chainsaw.Rare is the person today who has not heard of the Gurkha soldiers, the brave troops from Nepal's isolated hills who bolster the forces of the British and Indian armies. Famed for their tenacity and loyalty in warfare since the late 18th Century, these Kukri-wielding soldiers underscored their fame by playing a key role in the 1982 Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) crisis.
The name, Gurkha, is a military touchstone, evoking deeds of bravery and daring-do. The image is of a solid chunk of mountain man wielding a razor-sharp Khukuri whose breadth is only matched by his grin. And the reality is only a little removed from the legend. For the Nepali, serving in a Gurkha Regiment is one of the greatest opportunities life can offer. For a Briton lucky enough to serve with such a regiment, there is no greater privilege; it is an experience that is never forgotten.

Economic Issues
The Gas Fields off Gaza: A Gift or a Curse?
Thirteen years after the discovery of gas fields off the coast of Gaza, efforts to develop them remain deadlocked despite the international backing the project enjoys. Meanwhile the besieged Gaza Strip suffers prolonged power cuts and the Palestinian economy bears a huge financial cost - as do the Western taxpayers keeping it afloat. Al-Shabaka Program Director Victor Kattan discusses the actors and amounts involved as well as the reasons why the project has stalled and recommends some policy options to break the deadlock.
A Resource Out of Reach
The Palestine Electricity Company and the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation recently concluded an agreement to import Egyptian gas across the Rafah border. In time, this agreement could bring relief to the residents of the Gaza Strip who have been plagued by chronic fuel shortages with power outages of up to 18 hours a day. The gas could also benefit the Palestinians of the West Bank whose electricity is imported from Israel at high prices. But why does the Palestinian Authority even need to purchase and import gas from Israel and Egypt at considerable expense when two gas fields remain undeveloped off the Gaza coast?
The question is pertinent because there has been an agreement for 13 years between Consolidated Contractors Limited (CCC), the British Gas Group (BG Group) and the Palestine Investment Fund (PIF) to develop and commercialize the Gaza fields. In 2000 and 2002, the development studies undertaken by BG Group concluded that the fields were economically feasible. In other words, Gaza, rather than being one of the poorest places on earth, could be one of its richest, if only the development and commercialization of this precious natural resource off its own coast could be given the go-ahead.
Moreover, the gas would benefit the Palestinian people as a whole. For example, West Bank Palestinians could also utilize the gas from the Gaza gas fields to power electricity stations in the West Bank, and reach self-sufficiency in electricity generation that would achieve significant savings to the economy. Indeed, in 1999 the late Yasser Arafat famously hailed the discovery of the two gas fields as "a gift from God to our people". But since their discovery 13 years ago, not a single cubic foot of gas has been extracted from the ocean floor. So why is the gas still in the ground? To answer this question, it is necessary to revisit the major actors involved in the agreement, as well as the agreement itself, before proposing some policy options on how to get the fields developed.
How Much Gas & Who Would Develop It
Within Gaza's territorial waters, there are two main gas fields. Gaza Marine, the main field, is located 603 meters below sea level, 36 kilometers west of Gaza City. The second smaller field, the "Border Field" straddles the international boundary separating Gaza's territorial waters from Israel's territorial waters. According to the BG Group website, the reserves found in the two wells are estimated to be 1 trillion cubic feet (tcf). CCC believes that there are 1.4 tcf. To put this into perspective, Iran has 991.6 tcf of natural gas so this is not a massive quantity of gas, but it is still more than sufficient to meet Palestinian needs for the next 15 years, the time when it is estimated that the resource would be depleted at current Palestinian consumption levels in Gaza and the West Bank.

Spinosad topical
Class: Scabicides and Pediculicides
Chemical Name: (2R,3aS,5aR,5bS,9S,13S,14R,16aS,16bR) - 2 - [(6 - Deoxy - 2,3,4 - tri - O - methyl - α - l - mannopyranosyl)oxy] - 13 - [[(2R,5S,6R) - 5 - (dimethylamino)tetrahydro - 6 - methyl - 2H - pyran - 2 - yl]oxy] - 9 - ethyl - 14methyl - 2,3,3a,5a,5b,6,9,10,11,12,13,14,16a,16b - tetradecahydro - 11H - as - indaceno[3,2 - d]oxacyclododecin - 7,15 - dione
Molecular Formula: C83H132N2O20C41H65NO10C42H67NO10
CAS Number: 168316-95-8
Brands: Natroba
Uses for Spinosad
Topical treatment of pediculosis capitis (head lice infestation) in adults and children ≥4 years of age.1 2
AAP usually recommends topical permethrin 1% or topical pyrethrins with piperonyl butoxide for initial treatment;3 some clinicians suggest spinosad 0.9% suspension may be an alternative, especially for permethrin-resistant pediculosis capitis.2 11 13
Spinosad Dosage and Administration
Measures to Avoid Reinfestation and Transmission
To avoid reinfestation or transmission of lice, most experts recommend that clothing, hats, bed linen, and towels that were worn or used by the infested individual during the 2 days prior to treatment be decontaminated (machine-washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer).1 3 4
Items that cannot be laundered can be dry-cleaned or sealed in a plastic bag for 2 weeks.3 4
Decontaminate combs, brushes, and hair clips used by the infested individual by soaking in hot water (>54°C) for 5–10 minutes.1 3 4
Thoroughly vacuum car seats, upholstered furniture, and floors of rooms inhabited by infested individual.3 4 Fumigation of living areas is not necessary.3 4
Evaluate other family members and close contacts of the infested individual and treat if lice infestation is present.3 4 Some clinicians suggest treating family members who share a bed with the infested individual, even if no live lice are found on this family member.3 4 Ideally, treat all infested household members and close contacts at the same time.4
Use of fine-toothed or nit comb to remove any remaining nits (eggs) or nit shells from the hair1 3 4 is not necessary following application of spinosad.1 2 11 Some clinicians do not consider nit removal necessary since only live lice can be transmitted, but recommend it for aesthetic reasons and to decrease diagnostic confusion and unnecessary retreatment.3 Other clinicians recommend removal of nits (especially those within 1 cm of the scalp) to decrease risk of reinfestation since no pediculicide is 100% ovicidal and potentially viable nits may remain on the hair after treatment.3 Although many schools will not allow children with nits to attend, AAP and other experts consider these no-nit policies excessive.3
Topical Administration
Apply topically to scalp and scalp hair as a 0.9% suspension.1
For external use only.1 Do not administer orally or intravaginally; do not apply topically to eyes.1
Shake well immediately prior to use.1
Apply to dry scalp, and then dry hair, in amount sufficient to completely saturate scalp and hair.1 (See Dosage under Dosage and Administration.) Leave suspension on hair and scalp for 10 minutes, then thoroughly rinse off with warm (not hot) water.1 3 Minimize exposing other areas of skin by performing rinse at a sink (rather than in shower or bath).3 Hair may be shampooed after suspension is rinsed off.1
Avoid contact with eyes.1 Eyes should be closed tightly and covered with a soft towel or washcloth while the suspension is applied to or washed off of scalp hair.1 If contact with the eyes occurs, immediately flush with water.1
Supervise pediatric patients during application;1 an adult should apply and rinse the suspension for the child.1
Wash hands thoroughly after applying suspension.1
Pediatric Patients
Pediculosis Capitis (Head Lice Infestation)
TopicalChildren ≥4 years of age: 1 or 2 applications given 7 days apart.1 Second application necessary only if live lice are observed 7 days after initial application.1
Apply to dry scalp and scalp hair in an amount sufficient to thoroughly saturate hair and scalp.1 Amount required depends on hair length; very thick, medium-length hair or long hair may require up to a full bottle (120 mL).1 After 10 minutes, thoroughly rinse suspension off with warm water.1 (See Administration under Dosage and Administration.)
Pediculosis Capitis (Head Lice Infestation)
Topical1 or 2 applications given 7 days apart.1 Second application necessary only if live lice are observed 7 days after initial application.1
Apply to dry scalp and scalp hair in an amount sufficient to thoroughly saturate hair and scalp.1 Amount required depends on hair length; very thick, medium-length hair or long hair may require up to a full bottle (120 mL).1 After 10 minutes, thoroughly rinse suspension off with warm water.1 (See Administration under Dosage and Administration.)
Prescribing Limits
Pediatric Patients
Pediculosis Capitis (Head Lice Infestation)
Topical120 mL.1
Pediculosis Capitis (Head Lice Infestation)
Topical120 mL.1
Special Populations
No special population dosage recommendations.1
Cautions for Spinosad
No known contraindications.1
Benzyl Alcohol Toxicity
Contains benzyl alcohol; administration of IV injections preserved with benzyl alcohol has been associated with serious adverse reactions (e.g., gasping syndrome) and death in neonates and low-birthweight infants†.1 Syndrome consists of metabolic acidosis, gasping respirations, progressive hypotension, seizures, CNS depression, intracranial hemorrhage, and death in preterm, low-birthweight infants.1 10
Extent of systemic exposure to benzyl alcohol following topical application of spinosad 0.9% suspension is not known; possible increased systemic absorption in neonates and infants <6 months of age.1 Lower limit for toxicity is unknown.1 (See Pediatric Use under Cautions.)
Specific Populations
Category B.1
No evidence that spinosad is systemically absorbed following topical application; not expected to be present in breast milk.1
Spinosad 0.9% topical suspension contains benzyl alcohol; not known if benzyl alcohol is distributed into milk following topical application of the suspension.1
Use with caution in nursing women.1 If used in a lactating woman, she may choose to pump and discard breast milk for 8 hours (i.e., 5 half-lives of benzyl alcohol) after use to avoid infant ingestion of benzyl alcohol.1 (See Benzyl Alcohol Toxicity under Cautions.)
Pediatric Use
Safety not established in children <4 years of age.1
Because spinosad 0.9% topical suspension contains benzyl alcohol, do not use in infants <6 months of age.1 (See Benzyl Alcohol Toxicity under Cautions.)
Keep out of reach of children;1 use on children only under the direct supervision of an adult.1
Geriatric Use
Insufficient experience in patients ≥65 years of age to determine whether geriatric patients respond differently than younger adults.1
Common Adverse Effects
Application site erythema, ocular erythema, application site irritation.1
No formal drug interaction studies to date.1
Spinosad Pharmacokinetics

Happy Sale
I have had a pair of this style show that I literally wore out. I was so excited to see this same shoe in various colors go on sale. I bought two more pairs. They say half sizes go down, but I recommend going up. These are great little shoes to slip on and go out and garden or feed animals. Even tho I would normally change to regular gym shoes to go out, I have been wearing these everywhere now. The embellishments make it dressy and fun.

Be on the Lookout for School Children, School Buses
School children across the state will head back to school soon. The Texas Department of Public Safety reminds all drivers to watch out for children walking to school or waiting for school buses--and to obey all traffic laws related to school buses.
Drivers also need to slow down and pay attention in school zones. Children may not be looking for oncoming traffic when they step into the roadway, so drivers must remain alert.
"Although school buses are the safest form of transportation for students, the most dangerous time of the journey is when children are entering and exiting the bus," said Col. Thomas A. Davis, Jr., director of the DPS. "When a school bus is loading or unloading students, the law requires that drivers stop on most roadways."
State law requirements
State law requires approaching drivers to stop when a school
bus is stopped and operating a visual signal (red flashing
lights or a stop sign). Drivers should not proceed until the
school bus resumes motion; the driver is signaled by the bus
driver to proceed; or the visual signal is no longer activated.
A driver does not have to stop for a school bus if it is on a
highway with roadways separated by an intervening space or
physical barrier. (If a highway is divided only by a left-turning
lane, the roadways are not separated, and drivers must stop
for school buses.)
Punishment for drivers who do not stop
Drivers who do not stop for school buses face a fine of up to
$1,000. If a driver is convicted of this offense more than
one time, DPS can suspend their license for up to six months.
"DPS has zero tolerance for vehicles that pass stopped school buses," Davis said. "Drivers must slow down, obey school zone speed limits and stop for school buses to ensure the safety of Texas school children."
For more information on school bus safety, please contact DPS School Bus Safety Program Administrator Charley Kennington at 254-759-7235 or the Public Information Office at 512-424-2080. More information is also located at http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/schoolbus.

The Havanese dog breed belongs to the family of dogs called the Bichons, which is French for "fleecy dog." Bichon has become, with time and use, synonymous with a dog completely covered with hair. The Havanese, like other Bichon breeds, is known for its coat. And, of course, this coat and dog breed is at his best when the coat is correctly maintained. Here are four tips to help you keep your Havanese dog well groomed and at his best.
1. BathingGenerally speaking, dogs should be bathed before being groomed. Remember that every time you bathe a Havanese, you eliminate from his coat the natural oils that keep him soft and shiny.The Havanese that lives in a tropical climate needs to be bathed monthly if his coat is dirty, but one way to keep the dog's coat clean is to give him dry baths with talcum powder. In a cold climate, the Havanese should be bathed less frequently, but his skin must be clean.Since the coat is a significant factor in the beauty of the Havanese, take certain protective measures when bathing your dog. First of all, if the dog's coat is matted and knotted, the tangles should be eliminated before bathing. To facilitate that effort, prepare a solution of water and coat conditioner to be sprayed on the dog's coat as you patiently untangle it with a brush or rake, taking care not to pull out the hairs. Only after completely untangling the coat can you bathe the Havanese. A Havanese whose coat is properly cared for won't have problems with tangles and can be bathed without any preparation other than a once-over.In Cuba, the Havanese is usually bathed in cold water because of the hot climate, though warm water is used in winter. In cold climates, regulate the temperature of the bath to the surroundings, so the water is neither too hot nor too cold.A coconut aloe vera or a similar shampoo will keep your dog's skin moist. Wet your Havanese thoroughly and apply shampoo to the trunk, tail, legs, feet and, finally, the head, being careful to keep the ears dry by inserting cotton balls beforehand. Rinse your Havanese thoroughly, then apply a softener mixed with water. This can be left on the coat to make it softer and more flexible for grooming or it can be rinsed off, at your discretion.While your Havanese is dripping wet, squeeze the water gently from the tufts and let the dog shake himself thoroughly. Then towel his coat gently to retain the softener, if you decided to leave it on as recommended.
2. BrushingIf you take your Havanese to a professional dog groomer, the groomer will first place the Havanese on a table, leashed for safety, and brush the dog's coat as she fluffs it with a blow dryer on a low heat setting. You may prefer to use the blow dryer first and brush the coat once it is dry.If you use the first method of grooming, use a brush or soft rake. With the second grooming method, you need a metal comb with separated teeth (about eight teeth per inch). In both cases, be aware that the Havanese has to be groomed by layers. That means that the different layers of the dog's coat are raised and groomed separately, beginning with the layer closest to the skin and ending with the outer layer. Begin with the dog's legs and the feet, continue with the tail and trunk, working from back to front, then do the chest and neck and, finally, the head. In the muzzle zone, it is preferable to brush with a smaller metal comb with closer teeth.
Avoid matting by using this method to groom your dry Havanese at least twice a week. When you're combing, be careful not to pull out the dog's hair. It's best to work a small area at a time, slowly and patiently, to prevent the undesirable loss of hair. If you occasionally run into a matted layer, do the following:Avoid cutting the knots on your Havanese. Try to untangle each knot with your fingers, pulling the hairs from the center outward. Once the knot is opened with the fingers, use a mat-and-tangle comb. This is a special comb that has long, well-spaced teeth with rounded ends to prevent skin injury. In using it, always hold the tuft of your dog's hair between your fingers close to the skin so that the Havanese won't be hurt. Also take care to prevent the unnecessary elimination of tufts.Groom your Havanese in sections, but don't divide the coat in half, as some people do, by creating a part that runs the full length of the back and even up the neck and head. This distorts the image of the Havanese. Rather, once you've combed an area and are certain the entire layer is untangled, brush the layer lightly and let it fall. The Havanese will shake himself and the hair will fall naturally where it belongs.
3. Eye CareSometimes the Havanese tears and, as a result, accumulates dirt below his eyes. When this happens, rinse your dog's eyes with a saline solution and dry each one with a separate piece of cotton. You can also use a small fine-toothed comb to keep the area around the eyes clean.Another method of keeping your dog's face clean is to tie the head hair in a topknot so it doesn't fall over the eyes. This method should be monitored by a professional groomer so the hair isn't pulled or broken, especially if you plan to present your Havanese in a show, for this dog breed is not permitted to use topknots or any other kind of hair decoration.
4. Foot and Nail CareAs the Havanese grows and his coat becomes longer, the tufts of hair between the toes also grow, often until they totally cover the cushions of the feet. Your Havanese may become uncomfortable as his posture and movement are affected. Check the dog's feet systematically and cut out these tufts with small scissors so that the cushions of the feet are completely hair-free.The nails must also be monitored. Your dog's nails should not touch the ground, much less curl into it. Your Havanese may file his nails naturally as he walks on hard surfaces, maintaining them at the proper length. If not, you will have to prevent discomfort and deformation of the dog's feet by cutting the nails—especially the nail of the supplementary toe (dewclaw), if that exists, for it should never touch the ground.Use a nail trimmer for small dogs or cats, and cut only the protruding part of the nail to avoid hurting your Havanese. First, raise your dog's foot and hold it against the light to observe what is called the quick, which is the vein that runs through the dog's nail. Do not cut into the quick, or the nail will bleed. If the nails are black, cut a small triangle from the interior to the exterior edge of the nail, no deeper than necessary. Should bleeding occur, press ice on the cut or press your thumb on the affected area until the bleeding stops. You may also apply a styptic powder or pencil. Read How to Trim Dog Nails>>It's best to accustom your Havanese dog to nail cutting and foot care as a puppy so that he comes to accept them as a normal part of dog life. Moreover, systematic nail cutting helps the quick contract over time.
