This one is going to be tricky, I can't see any difference in this make-up and the Brunali or Species 10026. Suggestions anyone? Jaf 14:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)Jaf
- You're right, Brunali and Species 10026 have identical make-up, but Dala's make-up is different. The ridge on her forehead has a furrow, like the Bolian make-up, the Brunali and Species 10026 don't have that indentation. --Jörg 14:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Wow. I leave this one in your more than capable hands. Jaf 14:45, 4 April 2006 (UTC)Jaf
- Removed:
- Some speculation has suggested that Lansor (seen in "Survival Instinct") was of the same species as Dala and her crew, but, while they shared similar prosthetic makeup, there is no canon evidence to support this. Similarly, P'Chan could also have been a member of either Lansor or Dala's people, as he, too was distinguished by a ridge - though Lansor's full head of hair could discount that possibility. P'Chan was said to be a member of Species 571; Lansor's species was unnamed.
- Speculation. --Alan 03:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Sure, you can travel the old-fashioned way by referring to a paper map, but why not have a little techie traveling fun? We found three sites that provide helpful directions for different types of travelers. So, whether you're planning on riding the subway in New York City or driving to your aunt's in-the-middle-of-nowhere farm, we've got the best places for directions on the Web.
HopStop.com: For Big City Travelers
Getting around a new city can be extremely frustrating, but even the most experienced traveler will benefit from this site. HopStop.com provides public transportation, walking or car routes for major cities in the U.S., including Boston, Chicago, New York City and San Francisco. Enter your starting and destination addresses, plus your preferred method of transportation then HopStop will suggest a route—and if you don't like that route, the site will continue suggesting routes until you find one that suits you. Once you are ready to get going, you can print, email or send the directions to your cell phone.
RandMcNally.com: For Long-Distance Drivers
What better place to get driving directions than from a company that has been in the map-making business for over 130 years? According to RandMcNally.com, their site has more streets available for their suggested routes than any other competitor's site. To map your next road trip, simply enter your beginning and end destination addresses. Once your route is mapped, you can print, save or email it for your records as well as edit the route or add an extra stop. As a bonus the site also has traffic reports, city guides, travel ideas and more.
Maps.Google.com: For Map-Savvy Explorers
For some people, traveling is about the journey, as much as the actual destination. If you are someone who relishes in discovering the nooks and crannies of the neighborhood you are visiting, then Google Maps is the site for you. Search for the address where you are staying to see various map views of your location including the street view. You can search for nearby businesses, like restaurants or shops, or check out the "Explore the area" function, which shows user-generated photos and videos of the area.

The Weeknd's New Album Is Flirting With You
The 'Trilogy' follow-up is taking you to 'Kiss Land'
The Weeknd has been teasing his upcoming studio album for months — note this screenshot featuring a folder called "2013 untitled album" — and now we've finally got the first bit of solid information on Abel Tesfaye's next project. According to the Weeknd's Twitter, the follow-up to Tesfaye's Trilogy is called Kiss Land and the cover art can be seen up above.
Judging from the electric text and the puckered-up title, Kiss Land will trade heavy in the Alt-R&B singer's signature mope'n'grope jams. A release date and track list for the new LP has yet to be revealed.
Fans of the Weeknd's 2011 three-night stand (the House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence mixtapes) can soon take home a limited edition vinyl version of Trilogy. The six-disc set drops on March 26, and pre-orders can now be placed through the Weeknd's online store. Each copy comes signed and hand-numbered. Only 500 pressings of the $199 collection exist.
Watch the video for the Weeknd's "What You Need" down below.

Via Tim Povtak of NBA FanHouse:
The [Orlando] Magic didn't have to look very far to find their third point guard for this season.
Veteran Jason Williams, who has gone from flashy to steady in an 11-year career, will return for a second season after agreeing to terms on a new contract for the veteran's minimum of $1.35 million.
Williams served as the backup to starter Jameer Nelson last season, but he is likely to play less with the addition of free agent Chris Duhon earlier this summer.
Williams, who went to the University of Florida and won an NBA title with the Miami Heat, has made Orlando his offseason home for several years.

Marcia. Hard-Working. Respected. A Leader.
In my second term as your State Representative of the 92nd District, I have frequently drawn on my 12 years in mental health as a psychotherapist, 12 years in health care administration and 12 years in education as a school social worker. As president of her neighborhood association, I learned about the assets and needs of neighborhood associations. My experience owning my own counseling business was also valuable.Leadership
In my 1st term, I became chair of the Democratic Legislative Women's Caucus, a group of women legislators dedicated to promoting legislation affecting women and getting more women elected to the State Legislature. We worked on bills related to pay equity, woman's health care services, and anti-bullying. Only 20% of the Michigan Legislature are women, one of the lowest percentages in the country. Our Political Action Committee, "Mi Women Win" was instrumental in winning four of the five new Democratically controlled seats – won by progressive women we endorsed and supported financially!Hard Working
I am a legislator who always does my homework, reading the bill analyses, listening to both sides, and reading and doing research on particular issues. I have scheduled numerous coffees to hear the concerns of my constituents and town halls focusing on the state budget, school cuts, and tax changes. E-newsletters to constituents who sign up regularly communicate about what is happening in Lansing. I have held numerous meetings with constituents on many issues. I have had an open door to all constituents regardless of their position on issues, both in the district and in Lansing. I fought for against cuts to K-12 education and reduced tax credits for the working poor, for MIchigan 2020, funding tuition for community college and university education and for requiring backup generators for dialysis centers. I have held numerous meetings with constituents on many issues such as the state budget, education reforms and women's issues. I fought for...- Sensible fracking regulation to increase health safety and protect our water
- Decriminalization of small amounts of medical marijuana
- Medicaid expansion
- Michigan 20/20 funding tuition for community college and university education
- Requiring back-up generators for dialysis centers
- Scrap metal regulation to reduce theft
- Funding cuts to K-12 education

text: Northwestern University Law Review : SubmissionsPrint SubmissionsHow to Submit Northwestern University Law Review welcomes submissions of unsolicited manuscripts twice a year. Interested authors should submit their work during one of two periods: (1) January through early April; or (2) August through early October. We do not review submissions or expedite any reviews during the summer period (late April through July) or the winter period (mid-October through January). Interested authors must submit articles, essays, and book reviews through the online system Scholastica. Print submissions are not accepted via email and are only accepted via postal mail in extenuating circumstances. If you have questions regarding print submissions, you may contact Kyle Voils, Senior Articles Editor, for more information. Expedited Reviews Northwestern University Law Review attempts to honor all requests for expedited review if a manuscript has received an offer from another journal. When requesting expedited review, please do so via Scholastica; the system will alert the Articles Board. If the Law Review makes an offer on an expedited manuscript, the author will have a limited amount of time to respond to such an offer. Submission Length Northwestern University Law Review has no formal length requirements, and we will review all submissions regardless of length. However, we support the statement (pdf) by the editors of several of our peer journals and endorse the position that most articles can effectively convey their arguments within the range of 40-70 journal pages. We believe that establishing word limit guidelines will enhance the quality of legal scholarship and improve the editing process. To that end, we strongly prefer articles between 15,000 and 30,000 words, including footnotes. Only in exceptional circumstances will we publish articles in excess of 30,000 words. The Law Review also encourages authors to submit essays, pieces between 8,000 and 15,000 words including footnotes. Essays typically have a more focused purpose—advancing a narrow thesis or contributing to discussion on a current, salient issue. Online SubmissionsNorthwestern University Law Review Online (NULR Online) publishes shorter, more accessible scholarly pieces that are intended for a wider audience than most traditional journal articles. As such, NULR Online prefers pieces between 3,000 to 6,000 words, and will only consider unsolicited submissions that are less than 10,000 words, inclusive of footnotes. We aim to publish a wide range of content, including short essays, responses to articles, debates, book reviews, and other forms of legal scholarship. We welcome submissions from professors, judges, practitioners, and law students. Selected submissions will be published on the Law Review's website and are carried on Westlaw and LexisNexis. In addition, up to two NULR Online pieces are selected for publication in each of the print Law Review's four annual issues. How to Submit NULR Online accepts submissions on a continuous basis throughout the year. Authors are encouraged to submit through the online submissions service Scholastica. We also accept submissions via email. If you have questions regarding NULR Online, you may contact William Gohl, Senior Online Editor, for more information. General Submissions PoliciesThese policies apply to both print and NULR Online submissions. Formatting of Text and Citations Manuscripts should be double-spaced and use footnotes rather than endnotes. Text and citations should conform to The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (19th ed. 2010) and the Texas Law Review Manual on Usage & Style (12th ed. 2011). We also request that authors provide a word count, including footnotes. The Law Review encourages the use of gender-neutral language. Replication Policy for Empirical Work The Northwestern University Law Review strongly encourages authors submitting empirical works to make their datasets available and accessible during the selection process in order to allow for complete consideration of their work. Further, the acceptance of any empirical work will be contingent upon the author's documentation and archival of all datasets in a manner sufficient to allow third parties to replicate the published findings. These datasets will be posted in a publicly available space, such as the Law Review's website. The Law Review will make narrow exceptions to this policy to the extent necessary to protect privacy or confidentiality. |


text: Essential booklists (3) ----------------------- I refer to the suggestion that Goodman and Gilmans book "The Pharmacol- ogical Basis of Therapeutics" should be included in an Essential Book- list is a reasonable one but it is a very expensive book (US$ 89). There is an alternative produced from Nepal. I attach a short review which I wrote for the E-Drug conference. The book is called "Manual of Drugs and Therapeutics" by Mohan Joshi and Ramesh Adhikari from Nepal. The book is in three parts. The first section is a very useful short overview of the principles of Rational Prescribing. The second section which is about 20 chapters is a compre- hensive therapeutics book and the third section is a well selected and relatively brief drug formulary. While written by mainly Nepali authors it has clear relevance to other developing countries. It is well in- dexed, the table of contents is easy to follow and there are no confus- ing Appendices or Annexes. The book has been published by the Health Learning materials centre (a WHO Collaborating Centre) at the Institute of Medicine, PO Box 2533, Maharajgunj, Kathmandu, Nepal. The price of the book is only US$ 10. For anybody who is teaching undergraduate or postgraduate medical stu- dents Therapeutics or who are teaching in schools of Pharmacy I would encourage you to review this book. I think that it could serve as a standard text. Hopefully it will be much cheaper and is I think more appropriate for Developing Country medical and pharmacy schools. I think that we should try to encourage publication of quality academic books in developing countries for developing countries School of Medi- cine and Pharmacy. The best way to do this is to use the books, and recommend their purchase. So please request a review copy and if you like it use it in your courses and recommend it. I would be interested in other reviewers comments. Richard Laing M.B. Ch.B. M.Sc.

"You are entitled to your opinion of me and I am entitled to my opinion of you," Koch replied. "My opinion of you is that you are a fool."
His nephews and grand-nephew and grand-niece remembered Koch, who never married, as devoted "Uncle Eddie" - eager to hear what they thought of his appearances on talk shows but also happy join his 11-year-old grand-niece for a manicure.
Clinton read from a stack of letters Koch had sent him over the years and said Koch had "a big brain, but he had an even bigger heart."
Koch remained relevant in politics long after 1989, when he lost the Democratic nomination to David Dinkins for what would have been a record fourth term as mayor. But when asked if he would run for office again, he liked to say, "The people threw me out and the people must be punished."
His endorsement was coveted by candidates decades after he left office. And his unwavering and loud support of Israel made Koch "one of the most influential and important American Zionists," said former Ambassador Ido Aharoni.
At Monday's memorial, Bloomberg noted the synagogue Koch had chosen for the funeral stood just a few blocks from the midtown bridge that had been renamed to honor him. Last year, the city released a video of Koch standing at the bridge's entrance ramp, calling out to approaching cars: "Welcome to my bridge! Welcome to my bridge!"
"No mayor, I think, has ever embodied the spirit of New York City like he did. And I don't think anyone ever will," Bloomberg said. "Tough and loud, brash and irreverent, full of humor and chutzpah - he was our city's quintessential mayor."

Thanks so much Christy. Great advise. I plan on moving the box indoors tomorrow. We had summer like weather and now it's acting like March again. Cold at night and warming during the day.

Autumn in New England is the perfect time for two great races: the Hancock Shaker Village Fifty-Mile Ultra-Marathon, and the Hancock Shaker Village Trail Marathon (26 miles)
Saturday, September 20, 2014
Both races start and finish on the grounds of historic Hancock Shaker Village. Afterward, enjoy food and local beer from Big Elm Brewery!
During the races, runner's families and crew members may take advantage of discounted admission to Hancock Shaker Village. Click on VISIT to learn more.
Here's what Race Director Michael Menard says about the course:
"These races will test your determination and endurance. Both courses are challenging, with lots of ascent and descend over very technical trails and some long distances (up to six miles) between Aid Stations. Note that both races will be held rain or shine.
The Ultra course is an out-and-back trail race. The Marathon is a lollipop course, so to speak. Both races begin at the Round Stone Barn at Hancock Shaker Village, proceed along the Farm & Forest trail, then turn north, crossing Route 20 on the Family Trail and into Pittsfield State Forest.
The race turns east briefly, over a bridge, and then back north, up Mount Sinai and onto the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) Trail. The first (sixth and eleventh) Aid Station is located at the fork of the CCC trail and the Doll Mountain Trail, at the 4-mile mark.
The race continues up the CCC trail and bears right onto the Taconic Skyline Trail at the 5.33-mile mark, continuing to mile 7 and the Berry Pond Circuit Road, where the second (and tenth) Aid Station is located. Runners continue on the Taconic Skyline Trail, go right onto the Burgoyne Trail, and then downhill to Potter Mountain Road, where they reach the third (and ninth) Aid Station, 3.25 miles from the previous station.
The race turns north-west, following Potter Mountain Road for 2.75 miles, where it reaches the Taconic Crest Trail. This is the site of the fourth (and eighth) Aid Station. The race continues south on the Taconic Crest Trail for the next 10 miles. There's an Aid Station on Berry Pond Circuit Road and another at the turn-around on Route 20.
Marathoners will leave the Taconic Crest Trail where it connects to the Doll Mountain Trail, and proceed south-east to the site of the first Aid Station, where they will continue south on the CCC trail and back to Mount Sinai, retracing their route back to Hancock Shaker Village.
Race date: Saturday, September 20, 2014
50 mile race start: 5:30 am
Runners must be at the starting line by 5:20 am.
Marathon start: 10 am
Runners must be at the starting line by 9:45 am.

Registration on RACE DAY runs from 5 am to 5:30 am for the Fifty-Mile Ultra Marathon, and 8:30 to 9:30 am for the Marathon.
Pre-registered runners may pick up their race packets at (info TK).
All runners who finish the Hancock Shaker Village Fifty-Mile Ultra Marathon and the 26-mile Hancock Shaker Village Marathon will receive a medal. Awards go to the top-three male and top-three female winners in both races.
Aid Stations
Aid Stations along the race course provide water, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, salt, watermelon, sweets, gu gels, electrolyte drinks, oranges, and bananas.
There are two Aid Stations (two & ten) and (five & seven) on the course where crew members may meet with their runner. Crews are restricted to those two Aid Stations. Any crew members providing assistance outside of the designated stations will disqualify their runner.
There is a bathroom at the two & ten Aid Station.
Dogs on leashes are allowed.
Please note: Ultra runners must leave Aid Station # 10 by 4:30 pm!
Drop bags will be placed at the 2 & 10, and 5 & 7 Aid Stations. There will be a spot at the start/finish to leave drop bags, too. Please mark your bag if you have a preference for where you'd like it to be dropped.
Max Elevation: 2,296 ft.
Runners must stay on the course. Any runner who takes a wrong turn is required to return to the spot where he/she went off course before continuing with the race.
No walking sticks are permitted.
Headphones are permitted, but please remove them when entering an Aid Station.
Do not litter!
Runners are responsible for both their own behavior and that of their crew members. Likewise, crew members are responsible both for their own and their runner's actions and behavior.
Runners must make their presence known at all Time Stations along the route, where their times will be recorded.
Runners withdrawing from the race must contact Race Headquarters or a Time Station immediately to provide their name, reason for withdrawal, time of withdrawal, and miles completed. A crew member may also provide withdrawal information for their runner. Runners and crew who drop out are encouraged to come to the finish line and the post-race events to celebrate with fellow runners.
All costs associated with emergency evacuations will be born by the runner and/or runner's crew. Race organizers are not liable for emergency evacuation.
In order to participate, runners must complete the application and entry process, pay fees, and sign the Accident Waiver and Release of Liability form.
Race rules apply to all runners. Failure to abide by any rule is grounds for disqualification. The Race Director and Hancock Shaker Village have final authority to interpret and enforce race rules; there is no appeals committee or appeals process.

The Shirt Off Her Back
UC Davis bee breeder-geneticist Susan Cobey, manager of the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr., Honey Bee Research Facility, is the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back.
And that's exactly what she did when several visitors recently toured the Laidlaw facility.
Cobey let one visitor borrow her long-sleeved denim shirt. Then, bare-armed, Cobey opened a hive to display the colony. That says two things: her generosity and the temperament of her bees: gentle.
"Sue's bees are polite," observed beekeeper Steve Godlin of Visalia, vice chair of the California State Apiary board member, duirng an apiar board meeting Oct. 3, 2008 at the Laidlaw facility.
Indeed they are.
Apiary visitors are customarily issued a bee veil, and, depending on the activity taking place and the time of year, may also be provided a full protective suit.
Or a long-sleeved shirt from Cobey.
That's just one of the things that Cobey does behind the scenes.
Update: For her contributions to the Laidlaw facility, the university and the bee industry, she recently received a citation for excellence from the UC Davis Staff Assembly. She was one of 21 individuals, plus 13 teams, receiving the award at a ceremony in the courtyard of Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef's home.
Some 6000 staff employees were eligible for the award sform a total pool of 12,000 UC Davis staff, according to Staff Assembly coordinator Tiva Lasier.
Cobey was praised for raising awareness for the plight of honey bees at local, state, national and global levels. She maintains a close relationship with the beekeeping industry at all levels, especially the California Bee Breeders, who produce half the nation's supply of mated queen honey bees. "If an individual beekeeper is having trouble, she takes a personal interest in solving the problem as if the bees were hers," the nomination letter read.
Cobey maintains collaborative research projects with many honey bee researchers in the
Cobey, who joined the UC Davis Department of Entomology in May 2007 from
"Our nominee treats bees as she does people: both politely and respectively," said UC Cooperative Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen, a member of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty since 1976.
Indeed she does.
Susan Cobey
Faster Than a Speeding...
Faster than a speeding bullet...
As soon as UC Davis bee breeder-geneticist Susan Cobey opened a beehive and removed a chunk of honeycomb to show visitors, here came the speeding bullet. A fast camera shutter caught what the eye couldn't see.
It was a queen yellowjacket taking dead aim at the comb.
"The yellowjacket queen this time of year zeroes in on the honey as soon as you open a hive," said Cobey, manager of the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility.
"They build up their populations in the fall and eat the bees for protein to overwinter. They can actually kill bee colonies, especially weak ones. As meat-eating predators, these are common at picnic time, for which honey bees are often unfairly blamed."
Yes, honey bees are indeed unfairly blamed. Like human vegetarians, honey bees don't eat meat. They may land on your soda can for the sugar water, but meat doesn't interest them. They forage for nectar and pollen.
Now yellowjackets--they're predators. They love meats and sweets. You'll see these uninvited guests at your picnic or barbecue, boldly sampling your steak, hamburger or chicken; targeting your can of soda; or scavenging in and around your garbage can.
They also vigorously defend their nests, which look like paper combs. Do not go near their nests.
Their sting is painful. A yellowjacket recently nailed UC Cooperative Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen beneath the collar as he was checking the honey bees at the Laidlaw facility.
Mussen noted that beekeepers inadvertently kill a few bees each time they open a hive and pry open the "stuck-together" frames with their hive tool. The dead bees fall to the ground--to the waiting yellowjackets. The yellowjackets then carry the bees off to their nest, chew them into pulp, and feed the "protein" to their brood.
More yellowjackets on the way.
And soon, more speeding bullets.

Thirsty Yellowjacket
Wazzup Aug. 17-20? WAS!
WAS is not just the first and third person singular past indicative of be.
It's the Western Apicultural Society, an organization dedicated to the science and art of rearing honey bees.
You'll find scores of commericial beekeepers at the 31st annual WAS Conference, scheduled Aug. 17-20 in Healdsburg, Sonoma County. You'll also find native pollinator specialists, university researchers, vendors, and folks just concerned about the declining bee population and what they can do about it.
UC Cooperative Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen, who's been with the UC Davis Department of Entomology since 1976, co-founded WAS in 1978 with professor Norman Gary (now retired) whose research focused on the biology and behavior of honey bees, and interaction of honey bees with environment.
Last year WAS members trekked to Victoria, B.C., for their annual meeting. This year, it's right in the heart and soul of California Wine Country.
Where else but at a bee conference in Wine Country can you enjoy honey and wine tasting at the same time?
Conference topics include pathogens found associated with bees; breeding, diagnostics and insecticide tolerance; introduction to native bees, native bees in crop production in Eastern states; native bees in crop production in Western states; effects of honey on human physiology, colony natural history, honey and exercise physiology, and beekeeping tips.
Membership in WAS is open to all, Mussen says (dues range from $7.50 to $10 a year). Although worldwide membership is indeed encouraged, the organization was founded to serve the educational needs of beekeepers from Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming; the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon; and the states of northern Mexico.
Healdsburg is definitely the place to bee Aug. 17-20.
Honey Bee
Pretty in PInk
All Things Lavender
A field of dreams, for a honey bee, almost certainly would be a field of lavender.
Call it what you want, but if a bee could talk, it would probably be "lovely lavender."
When UC Cooperative Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen, member of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty, guided a group of scientists from Ho Chi Minh City to commercial bee operations in the Central Valley, one of the stops was to Ann Beekman's lavender fields in Hughson, Stanislaus County.
Ann Beekman of Beekman and Beekman (beekeepers) grows lavender and keeps bees to produce honey, mead soaps and candles. She's featured in the UC Davis Small Farm Center's book, Outstanding in Their Fields: California's Women Farmers, which celebrates the achievements of 17 women farmers and ranchers.
Visiting the lavender fields is on my "honey-do" list, but presently, I'll have to be content capturing images of honey bees nectaring the lavender in our bee friendly garden.
And I'm eagerly awaiting the opening of the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden near the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis. A group of Sausalito residents submitted the winning design, which will be implemented this year. A public dedication is tentatively scheduled in October.
The honey bees will surely be as happy as we bee lovers. We all love lavender.

Delicate wings
Golden Moments
They're now back in Vietnam, but for three days they went on a honey of a tour.
UC Cooperative Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen, a member of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty since 1976 and a worldwide authority on honey bees, guided a six-member contingent of scientists from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on a three-day tour.
That included a day at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility on the UC Davis campus; and two daylong Central Valley tours that encompased two beekeeping operations, a pollination operation, and a lavender farm/beekeeping agrictourism location.
The Vietnamese group included Dr. Nguyen Hay, vice rector of Nong Lam University; Dr. Bui Van Mien, head of scientific research management office and head of the Department of Development Food Product, Nong Lam University; Dr. Le Minh Hoang, bee specialist, Institute of Research on Environment and Biotechnology; Dr. Nguyen Tai, general manager, Tan Phat Co.; Hoang Nhu Tung, director of Huy Hoan Co., Ltd.; and Luong Hong Quang, faculty of Food Science and Technology, Nong Lam University, who also served as the interpreter.
California ranks with North Dakota, South Dakota and Florida as the four leading honey-producing states, Mussen told the scientists. "The rankings are weather dependent, based on rainfall. Here in California, we annually average 20 million pounds of honey and 400,000 pounds of beeswax. The value of honey production in California varies from $16 to $30 million a year."
The distance separating Ho Chi Minh City and Davis is some 8550 miles, but the camaraderie that developed among the U.S. and Vietnamese scientists drew them closer.
Honey bees, those golden social insects, brought them together.

Key win for Tiger volleyball
Published on -10/10/2012, 10:28 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By CONOR NICHOLL
The Fort Hays State University volleyball returned virtually its entire starting lineup from last season's 17-16 squad. All-conference libero Tracie Hileman was the lone player who graduated.
In addition to players being a year older, senior setter Kayla Zoglman has noticed other changes, especially with confidence and the mental game.
Those improvements helped Fort Hays earn a key 3-1 home victory against Missouri Western State University on Tuesday at Gross Memorial Coliseum.
The Tigers won 25-21, 16-25, 30-28 and 25-21. The Tigers saved four set points in the third set. It was the longest set for Fort Hays this year.
"I also think that we have matured a lot and we are more confident in each other," Zoglman said. "We know each other's tendencies, we know each other's weaknesses."
Last year, the Tigers lost multiple close matches and had trouble finishing sets. One of the main focuses for this season was finishing.
"We get to point 20, and we fall apart last year," Zoglman said. "We would beat most teams to point 20 and then we fall apart, and lose 25-23, which is probably the worst loss ever. It's a good feeling to be able to finish."
Fort Hays improved to 18-6, 4-3 MIAA, while Missouri Western dropped to 12-9, 3-5 MIAA.
"We are playing to our potential, for sure," junior outside hitter Madison Schwartz, who led the team with 17 kills, said. "... I am just so proud of the girls. We have come so far together and we have grown."
The Tigers have already exceeded last year's win total and moved above .500 in league play for the first time since joining the conference seven-plus years ago.
The Tigers improved to 12-2 since a bad home loss to University of Nebraska-Kearney on Sept. 11.
"That kind of changed our attitude continuing through the season that we've really got to pick our intensity up," fourth-year coach Kurt Kohler said. "Even though tonight wasn't our best performance, we did some great things. I think this program is on the right track."
FHSU has won six in a row following a close home defeat to Washburn University, then ranked No. 3 in NCAA Division II, on Sept. 28.
"When we played Washburn, we came out with fire and intensity and we showed what we can do," Zoglman said. "I think for some of us, we really didn't know that we could really play like that, and now we know what we can do, and we need to do that every game. Now, we are just doing what we are capable of."
Schwartz, a two-time all-MIAA honorable mention selection, had struggled offensively all season and entered Tuesday averaging 2.05 kills per set and hitting .117. Against Missouri Western, she scored off a variety of angles and placement shots, a strength throughout her career.
She hit .282, her best percentage against a NCAA team this season (min. 10 attempts). The 17 kills were her highest since she collected 18 against Southwest Baptist on Nov. 5, 2011. After the match, Kohler showed Schwartz the stat sheet as she walked out of the interview room, offered a big smile and said, "That's what I am talking about."
"She played very focused tonight, and that's something that we don't always see from some of our players," Kohler said. "It was a great night for her. She is a pretty smart player and she has been around the game enough that she can do some different things with balls and still control them."
The match lasted 1 hour, 55 minutes, long for a four-set match and featured multiple back-and-forth rallies. The Tigers dug 74 balls, their second-most in a match this season, including a career-high 24 from Zoglman.
"We knew that Missouri Western sets a ton of balls to their right side," Kohler said. "Those kids almost exclusively hit cross court, so we knew our right sides were going to be getting a lot of balls tonight. Kayla did a great job picking them up. Some of those swings are pretty tough to dig."
After FHSU struggled through the second set, the Tigers led 19-15, but Missouri Western, led by 13 kills from Sarah Faubel, came back to tie at 20.
The Griffons took a 24-23 lead, but sophomore Sara Hewson and junior Jenna Ulrich had a block. Fort Hays went on to save three more set points, including one on an angle kill from Schwartz. FHSU won the set on back-to-back hitting errors from the Griffons.
"A game that goes 30-28, I don't know if I would have the confidence two or three years to want to get into a situation like that," Kohler said. "This year, I do think mentally, we are a little stronger. We can focus through those last couple of points and play smart enough."

Atari joystick goes all retro on your iPad
Upcoming Atari Arcade Duo Powered Joystick will play nice with the Atari's Greatest Hits app on the iPad. It should shape up to be a more affordable alternative to the iCade arcade-style game cabinet for iPad.
The Ion Audio iCade , which came out earlier this year, gives your iPad that good old-fashioned game feel that takes you back to when you skipped class to drop quarters at the local arcade. There's no denying that the iCade is nifty, but the $99 price tag is a bit of a turn-off.
That's why retro gamers are getting excited about the upcoming Atari Arcade Duo Powered Joystick. It's designed to work with the Atari's Greatest Hits iPad app, which features 100 classic Atari and arcade games.
The Atari joystick isn't as fancy as the iCade, but it should be cheaper. The iPad simply docks into a slot at the top, rather than use Bluetooth like the iCade. The controller part of the device has a simple pattern with four buttons and a joystick.
Details are sketchy so far. All we know is that the Atari Arcade Duo Powered Joystick is supposed to be available soon at retailers like Target and Toys "R" Us.
If you haven't been able to tear yourself away from Centipede or Asteroids or simply want to relive the Atari glory days of your childhood, then you can add this gadget to your gaming wish list.

@browncoat - Everyone should try and fit what time they can in with their families. But there's nothing wrong with trying to make a commitment to have at least one regular meal with the TV off per week. It's nice to bond over anything, but I've found a lot of the time people don't seem to talk much when there is something on the box. They just watch whatever happens to be on.
I also think meals are a good way of getting your kids involved in the family. If they are setting the table every night, they feel like they have a purpose. If they occasionally cook a meal that can be awesome too and means that they will be able to survive when they leave the nest as well.

Goodbye, 'TRL' -- We'll Miss You!
My first year of professional life in New York was spent on the 32nd floor of Times Square's Bertelsmann Building, the one that houses the gigantic Virgin Megastore just across the street from MTV's studios at 1515 Broadway. Back then, I was a smoker, and on hot summer afternoons, I often took advantage of the European-owned building's very European-like air-conditioned smoking lounge on the 8th floor.
And while the lounge's windows afforded a decent view of Total Request Live's daily proceedings, you didn't need a direct line of sight to know the show had started taping. It was the screaming. Shrieking like you have never heard. For the non-indoctrinated, it was unnerving as all hell. Was there a roller coaster in the Square? Or, more disturbingly, had terrorists struck again at the heart of American commercial excess? It was the summer of 2002, after all.
But no. It was not Osama Bin Laden. It was Carson Daly. It was hundreds and sometimes thousands of young people -- not just teens, mind you -- participating in a pop culture phenomenon. And then there were the millions who watched on TV, taking an hour each day to teleport themselves into the heart of America's coolest city to hang out with all the artists and celebrities that they had to know.
I used to take aim at TRL at the beginning, bemoaning MTV's decline into lowest-common-denominator celebrity-driven programming that only promoted the basest pop music (and the slow death of my perennial fave, 120 Minutes). Of course, MTV's lowest-common-denominator got much lower. But two things became clearer to me later on, and I was reminded of both while watching last night's TRL sign-off.
First, a lot of bands played on TRL since its Sept. 14, 1998, debut -- bands we've put on the cover or featured extensively at SPIN. Green Day. U2. The Killers. Outkast. Eminem. My Chemical Romance. I was stunned to find out that Of Montreal, the Kills, the Gossip, Hot Hot Heat, and even Paul McCartney visited TRL in recent years, after most of us stopped watching. So while loads of viewers were gobbling up whatever hip-hop track, boy band, or teen movie happened to be hot that week, they also probably watched (and maybe even became fans of) some really good bands.
Watch: The Best Performances On TRL Ever
Second, I realized that TRL, for a several years at least, helped keep the major labels afloat by boosting pop artists sales numbers on the Billboard charts: NSYNC sold 2.4 million copies of 2000's No Strings Attached -- in one week. Christina Aguilera sold 12 million copies of her debut. And Backstreet Boys equaled that number with Millennium (an album with, in my opinion, one of the most perfect pop songs ever written, "I Want It That Way"). Blink-182 sold 15 million copies worldwide of 1999's Enema of the State. All of these were TRL acts. And no band comes close to those kinds of numbers these days.
All that money -- at least some of it -- helped labels spend more on indie acts. RCA, for example, used Christina Aguilera money to sign and develop the Strokes, Kings of Leon, and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The TRL-fueled pop music cushion allowed labels to take more risks.
Watching last night's parade of stars, both in the studio and in archival footage from the show's run, made it easy to place TRL in the pop culture pantheon with American Bandstand, Midnight Special, Soul Train, and basically all of MTV's programming in the '80s and early-'90s, TRL was a virtual hangout, a place to share in the hysteria-filled discovery and consumption of pop culture.
Why did the show meet its end? For one, the quality of music declined, with the labels ultimately spending too much money in a losing battle against illegal downloading instead of investing in new acts. The audience also got older, and followed some of TRL's edgier bands out onto Warped Tour, or started watching the increasingly more relevant music programming on late-night TV, particularly on Conan and Saturday Night Live. The era's biggest acts disbanded, disappeared, or dissolved into personal chaos. Oh, yeah, and there's that neat little thing called the Internet.
But we still need something like TRL.
We're all online, communicating in smallish friend groups, self-promoting with Facebook status updates and photo galleries. Bands are direct-marketing to audiences on MySpace. We're blogging. But it's all small-scale, without any shared, communal experience. There's no clubhouse anymore, nothing propelling music to the masses.
That's why one of these days I hope to hear choruses of shrieking voices outside of 1515 Broadway again. I'd be comforted to see a mob of bright-eyed teens peering into the giant glass window, pressed up close for a glimpse of their new favorite superstar. Heck, I might even join them, if they'd let me.
Watch: Backstreet Boys, "I Want It That Way" live at TRL's Total Finale Live

Your new neighbor? A bank.
When association member homeowners go into foreclosure, they usually quit paying their fees first. Who picks up the tab? Yup. Other members. Then, if the homes slides into official foreclosure, it gets taken over by a lender. But the lender isn't any better: most of them don't pay fees, either.
The Community Associations Institutes (CAI) recently released a survey about the travails facing associations:
- 45% face "serious" problems because the housing downturn
- 9% face "severe" financial consequences due to the downturn
- 5% or more of all units are vacant at 25% of communities
- 65% of associations have at least 5% of members delinquent on fees – up from 19% in 2005
- 30% of associations have a delinquency rate of more than 10%
Here's who else should get involved: the Federal Housing Authority, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They have been tweaking lending rules for condos up, down and sideways, always keeping lenders off balance. The proportion of owner-occupied units, for example, has moved up and down, but is always subject to appeal.
Seeing the secondary lenders want to micromanage, why don't they micromanage the banks to pay the dues for their mothballed units? Not doing so effectively forces other association members to pay taxes twice. If the banks don't like it, we have a suggestion: pay for it out of your marketing budget. Consider it community relations – you know, being a good neighbor.

Book Review: Turn A Deaf Ear
I received a book called "Turn a Deaf Ear" from publicist Darlene Chan a month ago. Before I read a few pages, I thought it was about hearing thing. However, after I read a few pages and chapters, I started enjoying to read it. This book is about an interpreter and a Deaf guy. It's based on an interpreter's perspective and experience in Deaf world when she first met a Deaf man through her brother. Of course, they married but after I read about their married life and how an interpreter deal with "Deaf" in the hearing world. It amazed me about a passionate heart she has for Deaf world! This person I have a highly respected for because she has "Deaf" in heart. The more I read, the more I want to see more books like this. This is a highly recommended for interpreters and Deaf community.
There are two options: 1. Order and own a book for your library. Go to Amazon. Or 2. Send me your name and email for a draw to get a free book from Publicist Darlene Chan. The draw will occur on August 25, 2012. The winner will receive an email.
Have fun! Enjoy to read this book!

Setting the System Time over the Network
I have installed ntpd on Red Hat 8, and it runs but does not appear to do anything. The log file indicates it is starting up, but after a few minutes, it displays the following message:
kernel time discipline status change 41
After that, nothing else is written to the log file. What does the
kernel time discipline message mean? How can I tell if ntp actually is
updating my system clock? If it isn't doing updates, how can I get
it to work properly?
Lance Hill
To check if ntpd, the Network Time Protocol dæmon,
is working correctly, type ntptrace localhost
to see where your system is getting its time and
where its upstream time server is getting its time.
To be polite, don't set up ntpd to use a heavily
loaded public time server—your ISP or local
Linux user group should be able to give you access
to a server that is close to you.
Don Marti
Here are a few things to check. First, ntpd will not synchronize time
differences greater than one hour, so use ntpdate first to get your
clock in range. Second, make sure you have not configured ntpd to
use multicast/broadcast client functionality unless you have a time
server on your local network. Third, if you are running a recent
version of ntp make sure you have a restrict parameter in your
configuration file for each time server you use, as newer versions
are much more security-aware. Finally, use the ntpq tool and the
assoc command to verify that ntpd is running properly.

Exposing an Internal Site with Squid
My wife's computer is inside a LAN and accesses the Internet through
a proxy (no other connections are allowed, only WWW). As we are working
on a common project, I need her to connect to some of our internal sites
that are accessible only through another proxy.
The situation is this:
my wife's computer→proxy1→Internet→proxy2→internal sites.
In that scheme, I have full control on proxy2 (a Debian box running squid).
Any ideas about how to do this?
Mauro A. Cremonini
If you are running the Squid proxy, cache_peer and other settings
allow you to daisy-chain proxy servers together. You need to establish
a cache_host entry that defines the internal sites as described above
and a dstdomain ACL entry for the internal sites that forces them to
be accessed through proxy2. Squid is a powerful proxy server, and you can slice and dice your
traffic management a number of different ways. For more tips and
tricks, see the Squid FAQ at www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ.html.
Chad Robinson
If you aren't running a Web server on proxy2's port 80, you can run rinetd to forward connections from it to a system on your internal network (www.boutell.com/rinetd). For security, though, the best thing would be to ask your wife's network administrator to open up their firewall for outgoing SSH. Then, give her a shell account on proxy2 so that she can tunnel in with the following:
ssh -N -L 8080:internal:80 proxy2
Here's an explanation of the ssh command-line options above: -N, don't start a shell; -L, forward a local port; 8080, port on which to accept connections on localhost; internal, host to which to forward connections; 80, port to which to forward connections; and proxy2, host to which to make the SSH connection.
Then, she simply can point her browser at
localhost:8080 and get to your internal server,
and you don't have to open up anything except
incoming SSH to your proxy.

Printing from an Application
I'm trying to port some Windows applications to Linux (Red Hat 7.3
and 9), and I need to find a replacement method for my current printing
mechanism. The current printing process goes like this:
1) The application opens LPT8: for write as a file. LPT8: is a Windows
device, not a real physical port. Data (plain ASCII text) is written to
the device. When done, the device is closed.
2) LPT8: is captured by a Novell Netware capture program so that
anything written to LPT8: winds up in a Novell Netware printer queue.
3) The Novell Netware server sends the data to a barcode printer. The
printer is attached to the network using one of those little AXIS
print servers that can handle multiple protocols including Novell
NPRINTER and lpd.
I want to know if there is any way to keep the basic operation of
the program the same: open a file/device, write to it, close it.
Everything else that needs to happen occurs in the background.
I can see doing this using calls to external programs: create a temp
file with the data, then pass the file to a printing program like lpr.
This is a bit more complicated but will work if the first method doesn't.
Or, one could create a temp file and put a watch on the temp directory
to grab any files there. The user expects near instantaneous response,
The Novell Netware server is going to be replaced by a Linux box
eventually. The Windows machines will use Samba for their printers. I
haven't decided on which printing system to use yet, probably CUPS.
The programs are written in Delphi/Kylix Object Pascal. Any hints on
where I should start looking?
Gus Wirth
This can be easy or difficult depending on what you are willing to do. The
solution you referenced above that involves the creation of a temporary
file actually is the easiest solution. You can use the tmpnam() function
to obtain a unique filename to ensure your process won't conflict with
any others. This concept keeps you within the open-file, write-file,
close-file work flow you described above, and you shouldn't require an
external program to do this work.
If your program was structured such that it always
created a temporary file and called out to a
configurable command, it would remain portable. On
a Windows box one could use a copy command to
dump the file to LPT8:, and on a Linux box one could
use the lpr command. This would make your program
more flexible.

Running a Laptop without ACPI
I installed Red Hat 9 on a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop. It
appears that no power-management support was installed (this is an ACPI
machine, not APM). A few Web sites have reported success with this
system, except for ACPI.
I tend to stick with Red Hat standard releases because I rely on my
laptop for everyday use (I use it 6–8 hours a day for teaching). I
usually don't
experiment on my working system.
What is the impact of not including ACPI support? Do I run the risk of
damaging the CPU without it, or can I live without it (at least for a
while)? Can you point me to a how-to about ACPI and Linux?
Erik Hemdal
Running with ACPI enabled will not harm your system unless you are
overclocking or doing some other activity that relies on the alerts ACPI
would provide. In a laptop environment this is extremely unlikely.
However, you may not see the same battery lifetimes without ACPI, because
that is the same module used to identify whether the system is running on
AC or battery, to scale the speed of the CPU and so forth.
For more information on ACPI, consult the ACPI-HOWTO in the Linux
Documentation Project (LDP): www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/ACPI-HOWTO.html.

problems they experience while installing Linux on laptops.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Age of Consent Questions for MichiganQ&A on statutory rape laws, age of consent laws, sexual assault laws for Michigan. Ask your Question Page 1 of 2 | Next >> secretly videotaping sex?:: August 07, 2009 19:31I recently discovered that my exboyfriend had made a video recording of us have sex without my knowledge or permission. Is this legal? I feel very violated and betrayed and wonder if he mayhave posted it on the web... Video taping or recording sexual acts without a persons consent is illegal in every state in the US.There are state laws, as well as, federal wire tapping laws that prohibit video taping or recording a person in situations where privacy is the expectation. There are also laws about video taping and broadcasting, selling, or disseminating recordings of others in public forums without there knowledge or consent. The Michigan Criminal Law is below. This is an actionable offense both in criminal and civil court. http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-750-539d http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-750-539d 750.539d Installation, placement, or use of device for observing, recording, transmitting, photographing or eavesdropping in private place. Sec. 539d. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person shall not do either of the following: (a) Install, place, or use in any private place, without the consent of the person or persons entitled to privacy in that place, any device for observing, recording, transmitting, photographing, or eavesdropping upon the sounds or events in that place. (b) Distribute, disseminate, or transmit for access by any other person a recording, photograph, or visual image the person knows or has reason to know was obtained in violation of this section. (2) This section does not prohibit security monitoring in a residence if conducted by or at the direction of the owner or principal occupant of that residence unless conducted for a lewd or lascivious purpose. (3) A person who violates or attempts to violate this section is guilty of a crime as follows: (a) For a violation or attempted violation of subsection (1)(a): (i) Except as provided in subparagraph (ii), the person is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $2,000.00, or both. (ii) If the person was previously convicted of violating or attempting to violate this section, the person is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than $5,000.00, or both. (b) For a violation or attempted violation of subsection (1)(b), the person is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than $5,000.00, or both. (4) This section does not prohibit a person from being charged with, convicted of, or punished for any other violation of law committed by that person while violating or attempting to violate subsection (1)(a) or (b). History: Add. 1966, Act 319, Eff. Mar. 10, 1967 ;-- Am. 2004, Act 156, Eff. Sept. 1, 200417 and a 26 year old?:: April 20, 2008 14:15I'm 17, and I'm dating a 26 year old. We haven't had sex yet, but neither of us really want to wait until I'm 18. Is it legal, since I'm only 17? Or could he go to jail? The statutory age of consent in Michigan is 16. It would be safe to say that if a sexual relationship was established, the 26 year old would not be put in jail for criminal sexual conduct; unless, he is a teacher, or, someone in a position of influence or authority over you. That said, it should also be brought to your attention that Michigan has several other laws (old ones) that could potentially be used against the 26 year old if a parent was motivated to prevent the relationship or make legal trouble for the 26 year old. (This would have to be a judgment call on your part.) I did not do extensive research to see how often violators are prosecuted for these laws and there are quite a few so I won't post them all; however, one law that jumped off the page is below: 750.532 Seduction; punishment.Sec. 532. Punishment—Any man who shall seduce and debauch any unmarried woman shall be guilty of a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the state prison not more than 5 years or by fine of not more than 2,500 dollars; but no prosecution shall be commenced under this section after 1 year from the time of committing the offense. History: 1931, Act 328, Eff. Sept. 18, 1931 ;-- CL 1948, 750.532Consensual sex between 16 and 14 year old:: January 12, 2008 11:06What if the girl is 14 and the boy is 16 and they had consensual sex and now the police know. Is the girle also facing issues with juvenile court? It is not likely the 14 year old will be treated as a perpetrator, but rather a victim. The 14 year old may undergo a medical and mental evaluation and possibly some court ordered counseling; aside from that, the 14 year old will likely be seen as the victim in the family court system. In order for a crime to exist, there generally must be a victim. Since the 16 year old is old enough to legally consent to sexual intercourse and the 14 year old is not, the 16 year old, in most states, would be seen as the perpetrator of the crime. they are both 15 and having sex what happens:: January 07, 2008 20:35my kid is having sex with her boyfriend they are both 15 what will happen if the cops find out or even the school? The age of consent in Michigan is 16. This puts them both in violation of state laws. Typically, in situations where both are minors at or near the same age, they could be seen as equally culpable (at fault) and may be charged under the law as juveniles. If this happens they will both have to appear in family court with their parents for a ruling on the matter by a family court judge. If a teacher, or certain other professionals in Michigan have reasonable suspicion that laws are being violated by, or against a minor, mandatory reporting laws may require them to report the matter to police. is it legal:: November 19, 2007 22:44Is it legal for a 13/14 year old to date a 16/17 year old girl? What would their sexual limits be? What if they had parental permission. Due to the fact that the 16/17 year old is at a legal age to consent to sexual contact, and the 13/14 year old is not, if sexual contact takes place the 16/17 year old may be cited as a juvenile for a juvenile offense. This would be heard before a family court judge and the 16/17 year old would have to appear with the parents to answer for the charges. The outcome, (penalty, fines incarceration etc...) would be completely under the judges control. A parents consent doesn't over-ride the law. This would not be a criminal violation as it relates to Michigan's criminal code. A violation of 750.520e must involve a perpetrator who is more than 5 years older than the victim. The age of consent is 16 in Michigan. This is the legal age that a person may consent to sexual activity. FYI...Partial representation. For the full text go to the Michigan Legislature website 750.520e Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree;1) A person is guilty of criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree if he or she engages in sexual "contact" with another person and if any of the following circumstances exist: (a) That other person is at least 13 years of age but less than 16 years of age, and the actor is 5 or more years older, than that other person. (f) That other person is at least 16 years of age but less than 18 years of age and a student at a public or nonpublic school, and the actor is a teacher, substitute teacher, or administrator of that public or nonpublic school. This subdivision does not apply if the other person is emancipated or if both persons are lawfully married to each other at the time of the alleged violation. (2) Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both.is it legal?:: September 13, 2007 13:27is it okay for a 15 year old girl to date a 18 year old boy with parent consent? No. This would not be legal. A parents consent does not over-ride state law. Do I have any recourse?:: September 02, 2007 07:22A 16 year old boy has been sneaking over to my home late at night and has taken my 15 year old daughter out for sex 3 times. I just found out. After the first two times she attempted suicide and was put on strong drugs for depression and behavior. Even with knowledge of this he came back and they got together a third time. She is very ill and currently in an institution as she attempted suicide a second time. I do not know if the law prohibits this and I should go to the prosecutor. If this behavior is not outlawed, is there any legal action I can take? The law does prohibit this kind of behavior. Due to the fact that the victim and perpetrator are both minor children, this would be handled within the juvenile justice system or family court and not subject to adult criminal penalties (unless a judge recommends it for adult court.) A few actions you may want to pursue immediately are:
do her parents need to know.:: August 02, 2007 21:54I am 18, my girlfriend is 16. Do I need her parents permission or do they even need knowledge of our copulations? In Michigan, the age of consent is 16. This means that an 18 year old could not be charged with violating a criminal sex offense law if they were having consensual sex; however, being that the 16 year old is still a minor under the law, her parents have primary legal authority and control over their minor child and are legally accountable for the childs welfare. If the parents of the minor do not consent to their child's relationship with the 18 year old, it is within their parental authority to take legal action to prevent the 18 year old from contacting their minor child if it becomes necessary. How you communicate with her parents is really up to you. Because you are a legal adult (18) and the 16 year old is still a minor child under the law, you are essentially taking responsibility for the welfare of a minor when she is in your company and away from her parents. Her parents have a right to know who they are entrusting with this responsibility and further, they have a legal right to say NO. Is it legal:: August 02, 2007 16:48I recently turned 18 and my girlfriend is 16, she wants to have sex, is it legal for us to have intercourse? what kind of legal problems will I run into? will her parents be able to intervene? and finally could we legally elope? The legal age of consent in Michigan is 16 years old. The 16 year old is still a minor under the legal care and control of her parents or guardians. If her parents do not condone the relationship, they can protest legally and could take legal actions to prevent it until she turns 18 years of age or is emancipated from minor status by a court order. 16 or 17 year olds must have parental consent to be married in Michigan. The parents must appear in person with their own identification and if there is a custodial parent, they must have proof of custody. It is a federal crime for any adult to transport a minor across state lines without consent of the parents and/or for the purpose of committing sexual acts, this would include for the purpose of eloping or marriage in another state without the parents knowledge. 23 or 20 Yr old male having Sex with a 17 year old female:: July 16, 2007 02:33I'm 20 and my friend is 23. We just found out that a girl we both like and thought was 18, lied and is really 17. Is it legal for me to have sex with her since I am not over 21? and is it illegal for him to have sex with her since he is more than 4 years older than her and she is still under the "age of majority" which is 18 yrs old in Michigan? If it is illegal for one or both of us, what would be the penalty considering that she lied about her age? Does it matter what her parents think? The age of consent in Michigan is 16 which means if you had consensual sex with a 17 year old, you would not be in violation of Michigan sexual offense laws for criminal sexual conduct; unless, the adult is a teacher or school administrator in the school where the minor is a student, in which case the age of consent changes to 18. See below. There appears to be no affirmative defense to ignorance of age. In otherwords, if she were under the age of consent and she lied about her age, it is not likely the court would allow this as a defense to the crime. There are only a handful of states that will allow this as an affirmative defense. 750.520e Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree;1) A person is guilty of criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree if he or she engages in sexual "contact" with another person and if any of the following circumstances exist: (a) That other person is at least 13 years of age but less than 16 years of age, and the actor is 5 or more years older than that other person. (f) That other person is at least 16 years of age but less than 18 years of age and a student at a public or nonpublic school, and the actor is a teacher, substitute teacher, or administrator of that public or nonpublic school. This subdivision does not apply if the other person is emancipated or if both persons are lawfully married to each other at the time of the alleged violation. (2) Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both.Page 1 of 2 | Next >> |
