The segways are a blast and I like the way that they connect everyone together with radio's. The whole tour was terrific due to the talents of our segway guide Nick. He was fantastic. Gave us great background on the buildings, streets and people of San Diego and kept us engaged the whole time. Yeah, definitely Nick was the best thing about the trip. |
Don't hesitate to take advantage of this deal. Definitely worth every penny. The segways are in excellent condition and they go to great lengths to make sure you are only going to the extent of your abilities. In our case, all 4 of us were experienced riders (i.e. we had previously had a few hours practice - within the past year or so), which meant that perhaps we rode a little faster in places. Regardless, where there were obstacles or dangers of any kind, they made sure we were taken care of and kept safe. |

Not a pot-smoker myself but I have several friends who were, and one who smoked pot during her pregnancy, and she was never tested at birth.

I am in the midst
withdrawal after being on it for 4 years. I tapered down to 5 mg. without much trouble but at that point had my first dreaded 'night of terror' where I wasn't able to sleep. So I decided this would be a good time for the breakaway. It has been a week now and the symptoms have lessened. I went through cold sweats, back/body pain, flu symptoms, cold symptoms (including fits of sneezing),skin 'crawling', diahrrea, and the anxiety/ sleeplessness I mentioned.

If I do indeed switch to methadone from the oxycontin dose noted above, how much

first off take a deep breath you are going to be fine and so is your baby its not safe to detox
so going from sub off the street to a legitimate prescription for methadone will be a good thing...#1 your supply wont run out witch could be devastating 2 methadone is considered safe wile pregnant ...the only draw back is having to go to a clinic everyday to get it...its more of a bother then anything else...

I had no idea they used that, but they said it didn't go near the baby). I was on codeine

I couldn't imagine people taking in excess
80-120 mgs
a day. Before I was placed on

Lortab 10's. The side effect euphoria of the Lortab is more enticing than that of methadone. I have no ambition to start taking more and more of the methadone. It just isn't that kind of drug to me.

MY girlfriend is going in to week twenty two
and taking
. She has abused oxycontin since she was sixteen she is now twenty two years old and she claims to be in treatment. She is taking way more than she needs,not just from the clinic but what she can buy as well. I mean taking enough to combat withdrawl is one thing but because she goes to the clinic she thinks this will do no harm to our child. I really cant believe what she is doing. Shocked would be a better word.

My question is may i have some
the side
? My heroin habit was 3 grams a day for 9 years and now im Rx.d 130mgs, should I still be on methadone and is this too high of a dose of a 25year old woman that weighs 125? Im Rx.d the xanax cr 2mg with 130mgs of liquid methadone? IS THIS A NORMAL THING. I went to the hospital 2 days ago due to not having methadone so im not doing it cold turkey. MAY I HAVE INFO ON SUBOXONE? Is it a better choice?

I just wanted to point out that the reason Methadone Clinics,`like` (almost insist) to put their Clients on Huge doses(70 to 100mg) is so that they get a Huge tolerance and also achieve steady state blood plasma levels of methadone,this has a dual function
Preventing a High from the
and also Blocking the
any other Opioids(Heroin,etc)from having an effect.

's that deal with this on a daily basis, and everyone
them recommends against stopping drug
cold turkey
. It's tough to say what impact this will have. The biggest risk is fetal distress and miscarriage. That does not mean that is what will happen, just that it is a possibility. It is good they are getting her off of the drug, but a slow taper is generally a better option. Have they explained why they are doing it this way? Good luck to you all.

It doesn't hit you until you have taken nothing for a couple
days due to the long life
. Keep drinking water water water when your coming off
it to flush system (and rehydrate from diarrhea)....sit in a sauna and sweat.....Personally I am not going to rush it. I need to be 101% ready psychologically. If its already a huge thing in your head- it will be. If you take it in stride, its do-able. I have done it . Now I 'just' need to do it again and stay off of EVERYTHING.

Patients discontinuing breast-feeding should develop a plan to wean with the baby's healthcare team. 3)
other substances
breast-feeding will expose the baby to additional risks. Patients who use other substances of abuse should not breast-feed. When starting methadone for the first time or increasing the dose, breast-feeding patients should watch their babies closely for changes in behavior or breathing patterns. Methadone is excreted into and accumulates in human milk.

Acquisition workers as critical thinkers: A change that has to happen
In Federal News Radio's special report, Missing Pieces of Procurement Reform, the Defense Acquisition University, the Federal Acquisition Institute and other experts say a new kind of acquisition worker is needed.

Former Defense Acquisition University President Frank Anderson is a veteran when it comes to the theme of procurement reform and people. Anderson says the acquisition workforce in the Defense Department has come a long way. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss how procurement leadership can foster better outcomes.
Jim Williams, Partner, Schambach & Williams Consulting
On the second day of our three-day series, The Missing Pieces of Procurement Reform, we're focusing on people and what improvements can be made to acquisition training and the workforce. Jim Williams is former acting commissioner at the General Services Administration and the top acquisition official at the IRS. Williams joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to discuss all things procurement and the current state of governmentwide acquisition vehicles.
Successful DoD acquisition programs start with funding for the workforce
The success of defense acquisition will always depend on the capability of a limited number of people inside and outside government whose resources of time and attention are finite. Increased skill, relevant experiences, and cultural adjustment of the workforce will occur only gradually and only with adequate funding and congressional oversight, says contracting expert Jonathan Etherton.

eral manufacturers – or on the way. Custom harvesters and commercial growers have been asking for increased capacity and durability, plus simple designs. Here's what they're getting in 2012 – and beyond.
Eight Krone BigPack High-Speed large square balers were tested in the U.S. last year; 22 will be tested in fields this coming season. But by 2013, a full line of HighSpeed machines will be available to North American customers, offering increased throughput and capacity, says Kurt Stone, Krone territory product manager.
The BigPack 1270, 1290 and 1290 HDP will roll off production lines with plunger strokes increasing by 18%.
"Our strokes per minute are going to go up from 38 to 45 on certain models – mostly our 3 x 4' models. Our 890, our 3 x 3' model, is already running 50 strokes per minute, so it's not going to change. Its capacity is – there will be improvements on that," Stone points out.
"Our strokes have been less (than on competitive models), and we've always been able to keep up, but we weren't able to put as many flakes to the bale. Now we should be able to run faster than most of the competition," he says.
Krone's 4 x 4' machine will boast a 36% increase in capacity. "But the strokes per minute aren't changing – they're reworking some internal mechanisms on feeding the hay through it to increase that capacity."
The new series will offer a Variable Fill System that will also increase capacity by compressing enough crop in the feed chamber to completely fill it, Stone says.
The HighSpeed version of the HDP (High Density Press) model, ideal for biomass harvesting, will increase production, the product manager adds. Biofuel facilities will need "many tons. They need something that can bale it (biomass) heavy and bale it fast," he says.
Another new feature is the PreChop system on the 1270 XC, 1290 XC and 1290 HDP XC models. "It's a little chopper we put on the front of the baler that will cut straw material up into a finer particle size or stem size before it goes into the baler."
Monitor upgrades allowing GPS and crop mapping, as well as bale scales, moisture sensors and ID tagger systems, will be available, Stone points out.
The Hesston by Massey Ferguson Extra-Density 1270XD baler produces 3 x 4' bales 9' in length and 15% more dense than bales made with the MF 2170 standard baler. Its bales are 30% more dense than those made from MF balers built before 2010, says Dean Morrell, hay and forage marketing manager, Agco Corp.
The machine is ideal for the biomass market, to harvest cornstalks, miscanthus and other biofuel crops, he says. "That's where an Extra-Density baler will make you a more profitable operator, to bale more weight in the bale."
Changes include beefed up baler drives "from the pto all the way back through the baler. We went to heavier shear bolts, a bigger clutch and our flywheel is twice the size of our current baler's." A higher-capacity gearbox was also added.
"Then we changed the connection arms and the crank arms. We still use the bale cage, but we're pinching hay at a different angle." Heavy-duty tension cylinders and plunger arms, with an increased baler load, are also new features. Plunger strokes per minute are 47.
With the heavier machine, operators will have to invest in 550- to 600-lb (knot-strength) twines, Morrell advises.
The Claas Quadrant 3300 Roto Feed offers increased bale density and design simplicity, says Matt Jaynes, Claas product coordinator.
With the 3 x 4' baler's new prechamber design, "we can actually measure the top and the bottom of the flake so we get more consistency in our bale. So we have better bale density," he says.
"We're all gearbox and driveshaft," adds Jaynes of the baler's simple design. "Even up to the knotters, it's all driveshaft, so everything stays in time. There are fewer wear parts on the machine as well."
He gives credit to the machine's long bale chamber – 10' – for added bale density, as well. "It holds the bale longer. When the plunger is striking the flake against the bale, it doesn't slide through the chamber as easy, so we can compress those flakes more." It offers 46 piston strokes per minute.
The monitor also tells the operator each flake size, so as field density changes, the baler can be speeded up or slowed down to keep a consistent flake size.
The single-tie knotter was redesigned to take the tension off the twine as it ties the knot to avoid twine fractures, Jaynes says. Its extremely large bill hooks and twine discs also help prevent fractures.
The baler can handle dry alfalfa to silage to cornstalks to straw. Jaynes was running it in biomass this winter, he adds.
Operators offered a lot of input into the machine's design. "They wanted the least amount of maintenance possible with the longest durability possible. And that was the big target with this baler." A rotor-cut version will be available in the U.S. in 2013.

What makes BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design?
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.

Marc Anthony Easy-Lites Instant Highlighting Spray ($8.99, Ulta.com) is great for touching up your roots. Or you can lighten up your look by using clip-ins like hair extensions. Celebrity stylist Ken Paves says to use ones that are two shades lighter than your natural color. "This way you can pump up your highlights and make them last without ever dying a single strand," Paves says.
Protect Your Summer Color
Enhance your glow with an all-over body shimmer. The instant boost will make your skin shine and give you a glistening goddess look, like Jennifer Lopez.

We love Maybelline New York Dream Fresh BB Skin Perfector ($8.99, Maybelline.com), which hydrates skin, protects against UVA/UVB rays, and helps hide lines and wrinkles. So go ahead and keep having fun in the sun!

User Account Control (UAC) is a security measure Microsoft introduced in Windows Vista and carried through to Windows 7 and Windows 8. While the intentions for UAC are genuine, and many security experts have hailed it as a step in the right direction, UAC can get annoying after a while so many people simply turn it off. If you don't want to turn UAC off completely but would still prefer not being prompted by UAC every time you run your favorite program, ElevatedShortcut is what you need.
Main Functionality
ElevatedShortcut does one thing and one thing only: it allows you to run programs without being prompted by UAC. The key to ElevatedShortcut is it doesn't disable UAC; it allows you to bypass UAC on a per-program basis, with you specifying which programs UAC should be bypassed for.
- Works by modifying program shortcuts, so it doesn't do anything that damages your programs or is irreversible. This also means ElevatedShortcut is not always-on in the background — it only runs when you need it.
- You can pick to either modify an existing shortcut or create a new shortcut
- Note: When creating a new shortcut, the 'Command line arguments' field is optional. You can leave it blank if you don't know what to enter there.
- Changes made by ElevatedShortcut stay intact even after (if) you delete ElevatedShortcut, meaning you can still launch programs without UAC prompt even if you delete ElevatedShortcut
- Works for programs on both Windows 7 and Windows 8
- Note: ElevatedShortcut does not officially support Windows Vista but, in theory, should work on Windows Vista since it works on Windows 7. I don't have Vista to test this theory.
- Has the option to add an entry in right-click context menu, to make it easier for you to use ElevatedShortcut on a program
- Very easy to use and is portable
- UAC will only be bypassed when you launch a program using the specific shortcut you modified with ElevatedShortcut. If you launch a program using a different shortcut for that program, UAC will not be bypassed.
- When you undo changes made by ElevatedShortcut ('Remove Shortcut'), it deletes the target shortcut instead of restoring it back to original settings
- Unknown if it works for Windows 8 programs only or also works on Windows Store apps
ElevatedShortcut is a simple and easy to use program that allows you to run select programs without being prompted by UAC.
You see Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 have the built-in ability to bypass UAC on a per-program basis by modifying a program shortcut and adding in a command-line argument. ElevatedShortcut works by utilizing this built-in ability; it inserts the required command-line argument to the shortcut of the program you want to run without UAC so, after using ElevatedShortcut, whenever you run a program via its shortcut, you are no longer prompted by UAC.
If you are confused by what I just said, don't worry about the specifics. All you need to know is ElevatedShortcut works by modifying program shortcuts so that programs run without UAC prompt; you can either modify an existing program shortcut (e.g. a program shortcut on your desktop) or create a new program shortcut altogether. All program shortcuts, whether existing or new, have a "(elevated)" attached to their name at the name.
After using ElevatedShortcut, whenever you run a program via the modified shortcut, you will not be prompted by UAC. They key here to note is you must always run a program via the specific shortcut you modified. For example, you use ElevatedShortcut on a program's shortcut on the desktop but then launch the program via Start Menu. UAC will only be bypassed when running the program from desktop. UAC will not be bypassed when running the program via Start Menu — you would need to specifically use ElevatedShortcut on the program's shortcut in Start Menu if you want to bypass UAC from there.
You can, of course, use ElevatedShortcut to modify multiple shortcuts of the same program if you have a habit of running a program from different shortcuts.
Take note because of the way ElevatedShortcut works, the modifications it makes to program shortcuts stay intact even if you were to delete ElevatedShortcut (ElevatedShortcut is a portable program, so to remove it you simply delete it not uninstall it.) which is something most people will view as a pro. Another pro is ElevatedShortcut is no always-on; it only runs when you run it — the programs you want to bypass UAC for run without UAC without the need for ElevatedShortcuting to be running.
On the downside, if you want to undo the changes made by ElevatedShortcut, there is a 'Remove Shortcuts' option but that option deletes the target shortcut — it does not revert the shortcut back to what the shortcut was prior to using ElevatedShortcut. In other words, if you want to revert a shortcut to default settings (i.e. not bypassing UAC) after you use ElevatedShortcut on a shortcut, you need to delete the shortcut and create a new shortcut in its place.
ElevatedShortcut does nothing special or unique; it simply utilizes a well-known native Windows capability of bypassing UAC on a per-program basis. The selling point for ElevatedShortcut is it makes it extremely easy for users to utilize that built-in Windows capability; you don't need to know the necessary command-line arguments to bypass UAC, you just need to point and click ElevatedShortcut in the right direction. If you are looking to bypass UAC on a per-program basis, give ElevatedShortcut a try.

If anyone is still out there, what I need is to get rid of the annoying prompt when I want to add a web page shortcut to the desktop.
g+1 shows in Maxthon 4 for me but not in IE10
I can see the side floating bar but no floating envelope/pencil that allows email. I can see your new links at the end of the article. I checked in IE10 and Maxthon 4.
Trev (Down Under)
[@Ashraf]No floating envelope + pencil icon here on IE8 and FF3.6.28.
But in FF3.6.28 do have floating Tweet and Like and G+.
In IE8 do have floating Tweet and Like, but no G+ . -
@Ashraf… FYI… Nothing floating here except Tweet and Like (using Canary). On Firefox I also see G+. But no floating envelope
[@Ashraf] Thanks, Ashraf. I now see a print icon and appearing next to it, an email icon which I can use (both at the top of the article, under the title, as well as at the end of the article). Many thanks–hopefully, others will find this helpful as well!
@Ashraf: Thanks. But hmmmm: am at the library now using a computer there, and there is no floating bar/envelope plus pencil icon on the webpage, anywhere as far as I can tell (under Internet Explorer), even if I maximize the page . . . .
@Ashraf (and any others): Is there currently a way to email a dotTech.org article (or a link to an article)? That would be a very handy feature, indeed (and could help draw further eyes to the site). Thanks–
Sounds like a nice way to have the benefit of UAC but at the same time to avoid its unneeded prompts.
This should be great for doing automatic daily Windows 8 and Vista Registry backups with eruNT. Sounds much less complicated than making a scheduled event that runs immediately.

What are the age requirements for entry?
All applicants should begin the application process in fall of the year prior to enrollment. Thus, Nursery 3 applicants are two years old when they apply and are three years old when they enter Lab.Nursery 3 applicants must be 3-years-old before September 1 of the year of entry Nursery 4 applicants must be 4-years-old before September 1 of the year of entry Kindergarten applicants must be 5-years-old before September 1 of the year of entryGrade 1 applicants must be 6-years-old before September 1 of the year of entry Grades 2 – 12 applicants who are younger than their grade-level peers may be asked to consider application to the age-appropriate grade.
When should I begin the application process?
Lab's application process begins in the fall of the year prior to enrollment. For example, entering 9th grade students begin the application process in September of their 8th grade year. Similarly, Nursery 3 (three year old children) applicants are two years old when they apply, and are three years old when they enroll at Lab. Please click the section marked "Apply" to the left, and follow applicable deadlines for the desired grade of entry.
When are the application deadlines?
Nursery 3: Online application submission by 11:59 p.m., September 30, 2014.9th Grade: Part one of the application process should be completed by no later than 11:59 p.m., November 21, 2014. Application deadlines for all other grade levels are located under the applicable grade levels under the section marked "apply".
What are the best "points of entry" into the Laboratory Schools?
Nursery 3 and Grade 9, typically, are the best points of entry into Lab. Nursery 4, Kindergarten, Grades 1 – 7 and Grades 10 – 11 typically have openings only through attrition. Special circumstances determine the consideration of applications to Grade 8 and Grade 12.
Do you accept applicants who are not affiliated with the University of Chicago?
Yes! Every class level contains a diverse group of families, including many who are not affiliated with the University of Chicago. Lab welcomes all applicants, both affiliated and non-affiliated, into its community.
What is the application process at the Laboratory Schools?
All applicants to the Laboratory Schools go through a holistic application process that seeks to understand both the applicant and his or her family. Our younger students visit visit Lab for playgroup or classroom visit; Middle School and High School students spend a day at Lab. There is also a one on one parent meeting with an admissions representative. In addition to the visit day, Middle and High School students will have an interview with a member of Lab's Admissions Committee, and will take the Independent School Entrance Exam. All families are also required to pay an $80 application fee, and submit a parent questionnaire, teacher recommendation forms, and 2-3 years of progress reports. Details for each grade level of application are made available at the start of the application process.

Nursery children may be accompanied by one parent during the playgroup. Applicants to grades 2, 3, and 4 may be invited to participate in an age appropriate classroom visit. During the visit, applicants will engage in classroom activities while working with and being observed by a teacher from our Admissions Committee.Middle School (grades 5-8) and High School (grades 9-12) applicants may meet individually with a member of the Admissions Committee. Additionally, these applicants may experience a day at Lab while "shadowing" a current Lab student.
How do I schedule a visit to the Laboratory Schools?
Specific tour/open house dates and procedures will be provided to all applicants as part of the application process. With the exception of the annual High School Open House (which is open to all), Lab does not offer tours to non-applicant families.
When will I receive an admission decision?
Nursery 3 and Grade 9 notifications for the 2015-2016 academic year are scheduled to be mailed in Spring, 2015. Admissions notifications for all other grade levels will be mailed in Spring, 2015.
Is there a waiting list?
Lab does not maintain a formal wait list. Instead, it is Lab's practice to establish a wait pool for admissible applicants* to open grades. Wait pool applicants are not ranked, and the Admissions Office cannot provide families with an applicant's number or position within the pool. Wait pools are only open/active for the current admissions season. Students who wish to be considered for admission the following year must reapply. If you are interested in a grade level that is currently full, Lab encourages you to join the Interest Pool. To learn more about the Interest Pool, please open the drop down menu on the "Admissions" tab, and click the link marked "Interest Pool". *Admissible applicants are those students who have completed the application process, and have been determined to be admissible by the by the Admissions Committee.
What is the Laboratory Schools connection to the University of Chicago?
The Laboratory Schools are a division of the University of Chicago and, like the University of Chicago Hospitals, the Law School or the Chicago Booth School of Business, we are an integral part of the University community.

The first rule of hot pot is that you don't wear white. The second rule of hot pot is that you go hungry. Other recommendations include: not going on a balmy evening and bringing a big group so you can try a variety of ingredients. Having failed our mission before we even got in the door, we resigned ourselves to a fun evening of DIY tabletop cooking and some delicious food.
If you haven't ever been to a hot pot establishment, I highly recommend it. The way it works is like this – you decide on your broth (or broths if you're fancy – they come in a yin-yang shaped separated bowl) and then your uncooked ingredients and mark your choices on a paper form. You can do all you can eat or order specific items. It's not cheap but it is good value and you'll often see tables of students and families crammed in behind trays of meat. Fatty Cow has a retail seafood sister operation so there are good deals on fish and seafood.
We ordered the "hot and spicy" broth (you can tell by the chilies floating in it) and the short rib soup and got to it, dunking pieces of rib eye and bok choy and knotted noodles and countless other things first into the broth and then into one of the sauces – chili oil, chili paste, peanut or the house special sauce with cilantro – and chilies.
They seemed pretty happy to explain the process for newbies but I did get a kick out of the fact that there are no warnings about having a bowl of hot soup on a burner in the middle of your table – common sense will have to prevail on this one – although we were warned about the spicy broth.
Near the end of the meal a couple of last plates appeared with some favorites we wanted to have one last bite of – the wontons were particularly good, as well as the mushrooms and the rib eye – but also a few unidentifiable items. I was pretty sure that there was bitter melon (which we hadn't ordered) and we were pretty sure that this was some kind of "meat":
which we also hadn't ordered. Turned out to be pork blood cake which Matt promptly nicknamed, "the reviewer's special". Sounded like a dare to me, so in it went into the spicy broth, then the chili oil and then the house special sauce and finally into my mouth. It was interesting. I've had plenty of varieties of blood sausage but never sliced like this and the texture didn't sit well with me – kind of like a firm, meaty tofu – but it tasted alright. Next time I go back though, I'm having a mess of spot prawns and oysters.

When colder weather strikes, heating bills start to climb. Not only is that hard on the checkbook; it also means increased greenhouse gas emissions. What is a thrifty, ecologically-minded person to do?
By Chad Tolman (LWVDE)
The great hope?It is cheap and readily available in many parts of the world; it can reduce oil imports and fuel economies in developing countries.
By Winifred Colwill (LWVMO) States throughout the nation have adopted a wide range of initiatives that directly or indirectly help to mitigate global warming.i Initially, the stimulus to act was often air quality regulations, electricity costs, or economic issues as much as climate change.
By Pamela W. Person
By Win Colwill Greenhouse gas inventories conducted as a result of the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change revealed to the world that the United States, with only 5 percent of the world's population, was responsible for 25 percent of global warming emissions. Publicity surrounding the Earth Summit raised public awareness of the threat of global warming and the need for action to address the problem for the first time.

China reforms: One-child policy to be relaxed
China is to relax its policy of restricting most couples to having only a single child, state media say.
In future, families will be allowed two children if one parent is an only child, the Xinhua news agency said.
The proposal follows this week's meeting of a key decision-making body of the governing Communist Party.
Other reforms include the abolition of "re-education through labour" camps and moves to boost the role of the private sector in the economy.
Though the scale of the Chinese leadership's new social and economic reforms are vast, affecting millions across China, none of these changes should come as a shock. Many of these changes have been discussed in the Chinese state media in the past, and many have been test-driven on a smaller scale in different parts of the country.
For example, in some Chinese cities for the past few years, couples who are both single children have been allowed the option of having a second child. The latest change will give couples the option of having two children if just one of the parents is an only child.
Similarly, Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to abolish the much-hated "re-education through labour" system when he first came to power. Quietly, officials have been winding down the system over the past few months.
The Communist government is not prone to making rash decisions. In order to gain the consensus it needs to carry out its plans at the local level, officials need to announce them well ahead of time. Surprises aren't popular in China, it seems.
The BBC's Celia Hatton, in Beijing, says most of the changes have already been tested in parts of the country.
Officials announce their plans well in advance to gain the consensus they need, she adds.
Ageing populationThe latest announcements are contained in a 22,000-word document released three days after the Third Plenum meeting of the Communist leadership in Beijing.
Traditionally reforms are expected from the Third Plenum, because new leaders are seen as having had time to consolidate power. President Xi Jinping took office last year.
The one-child policy would be "adjusted and improved step by step to promote 'long-term balanced development of the population in China'", Xinhua said.
China introduced its one-child policy at the end of the 1970s to curb rapid population growth.
But correspondents say the policy has become increasingly unpopular and that leaders fear the country's ageing population will both reduce the labour pool and exacerbate elderly care issues.
By 2050, more than a quarter of the population will be over 65.
The one-child policy has on the whole been strictly enforced, though some exceptions already exist, including for ethnic minorities.
In some cities, both parents must be only children in order to be allowed to have a second child.
China's one-child policy
- China's population-control policy was introduced in 1979 and restricts couples in urban areas to only one child
- In rural areas, families are allowed to have two children if the first is a girl.
- Other exceptions include ethnic minorities and couples who both lack siblings themselves
- The policy has meant that about one-third of China's 1.3 billion citizens cannot have a second child without incurring a fine
- Campaigners say it has led to forced abortions, female infanticide, and the under-reporting of female births
- It is also implicated as a cause of China's gender imbalance
In the countryside, families are allowed to have two children if the first is a girl.
Couples who flout the rules can face heavy fines, or possibly lose their property or their jobs.
Rights groups say the law has meant some women being coerced into abortions, which Beijing denies.
The traditional preference for boys has also created a gender imbalance as some couples opt for sex-selective abortions.
By the end of the decade, demographers say China will have 24 million "leftover men" who, because of China's gender imbalance, will not be able to find a wife.
Most of the elderly in China are still cared for by relatives, and only children from single-child parents face what is known as the 4-2-1 phenomenon.
When the child reaches working age, he or she could have to care for two parents and four grandparents in retirement.
'Improve human rights'On Tuesday, when the Third Plenum ended, China's leaders also promised that the free market would play a bigger role, and farmers would have greater property rights over their land.
Ageing China
By 2050 more than a quarter of China's population will be over 65 years old and younger generations face an unprecedented burden of care.
State firms will be required to pay larger dividends to the government, while private firms will be given a greater role in the economy.
There will be greater liberalisation in both interest rates and the free convertibility of the yuan. More overseas investment will be allowed.
There will also be an increase in the number of smaller banks and financial institutions funded by private capital.
Xinhua said the decision to do away with the "re-education through labour" camps was "part of efforts to improve human rights and judicial practices".
China's leaders had previously said they wanted to reform the system.
The network of camps created half a century ago holds tens of thousands of inmates.
Police panels have the power to sentence offenders to years in camps without trial.
Other reforms announced on Friday include a reduction in the number of crimes subject to the death penalty.

Are you looking to buy some men's cologne as a gift? Or perhaps a new lipstick? You may be surprised to learn that while you pay one price here in Australia, consumers overseas are paying up to 50% less for exactly the same product.
And cosmetics price discrimination isn't just affecting Aussie women. When we priced the popular Giorgio Acqua Di Gio Essenza men's cologne (75mL), this is what we found.
Jane McKellar has worked in the cosmetics and personal care industry internationally and locally for almost 20 years. The former general manager of Elizabeth Arden Australia says that "manufacturers have traditionally seen Australia as a cash cow, particularly in the cosmetics space where there are strong margins".
However, thanks to the emergence of online shopping more Australian consumers are all too aware of the difference in what they're paying compared with shoppers overseas. Anyone with an internet connection can quickly run a price comparison on the cost of an identical product overseas, and many Australians don't like what they see. Comments from CHOICE members range from "Revlon foundation $38 in Target but $US11 in Walmart, go figure!" to "Benefit Brow Zings $30USD. I'm embarrassed to admit I paid $50 in Myer."
McKellar says she's not surprised. "Until recently, consumers had relied on bricks-and-mortar stores to do their research for them. Now they're more educated about product and price at the click of a button."
But while many consumers are unhappy with the price hike, others defend it, citing our higher wages compared to the US (for example) as a reason for the difference. Kate Morris, founder and owner of Australian online beauty retailer Adore Beauty, says there are real costs associated with shipping and clearing customs. However, she argues the margins are still higher than they need to be. "Because of [higher costs] we may never see prices drop to match overseas completely, but the difference in cost here shouldn't be 50% either."
UK cult cosmetics brand Illamasqua recently ran a campaign calling for consumers to sign a petition to change the unfair pricing structures by what they described as the "global giants of cosmetics who force Australian customers to pay up to 61% more than UK prices". The petition went on to state that in the short time it had been retailing in Australia, it quickly became aware of Australian consumers' "frustration over the inflated pricing of cosmetics compared to the rest of the world". The brand then pledged to "slash" its own prices.
There was a catch, however. Those who signed the petition had to agree to continue to buy Illamasqua products and provide their details, a move criticised by CHOICE at the time as an exercise in data mining for customer details. We contacted Illamasqua for an update on the campaign, but at the time of going to print hadn't received a reply. However, a quick check of prices found that the local offerings have been brought into line with prices in the UK.

General Discussion
Until the late 1980s, myalgic encephalomyelitis was thought to be a distinct, infectious disorder affecting the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems and the muscles. Its major symptom was fatigue to the point of extended periods of exhaustion. A group of experts studying the Epstein-Barr virus first published strict criteria for the symptoms and physical signs of chronic fatigue syndrome in 1988. This case definition was further refined in 1994.
The Fact Sheet for CFS published by the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health states that "[T]oday, CFS is also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, postviral fatigue syndrome, and chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome." ME/CFS is now recognized as part of a range of illnesses that have fatigue as a major symptom.
ME/CFS is not rare. The CDC estimates that there are as many as 500,000 persons in the United States who have CFS-like symptoms. However, the disorder remains debilitating, complex and mysterious in origin, natural history, understanding and treatment.

Organizers said there are still some last minute tickets available. They're available for $7.50 a piece at the Campbell Senior Center and the Willamalane Senior Center.

The 17-year-old Instagrammed multiple pics on Mar. 17 of herself in a bikini with another cutie lounging by the pool. Keep reading to see who she was smooching!
Kendall Jenner spent the day in her bikini, lounging in the sunshine by the poolside. She kept us updated on her hot, relaxing day via Instagram and even stole a few kisses!
Kendall Jenner Smooches Khloe Kardashian's Puppy
From her sister Khloe Kardashian's puppy of course!
Kendall totally stole the adorable Boxer puppy dog — who's name we still don't know — from her sis for a fun day in the sun. She tweeted multiple pictures, one with the message, "pool day with the munchkin" and another that read, "Still at it! #TanTanTan."
The two looked totally cute together. Kendall is obviously in love with her sister's new pet — she planted kisses on it again and again!
It was actually Kendall who introduced the baby dog to the world on Tuesday, Mar. 12, tweeting an adorable pic with the caption, "@khloekardashian and Lamar's new baby! weee." She's crushing hard on that puppy.
The Kardashians React To Their New Puppy
Khloe reportedly searched pet stores for the perfect dog with stepdad Bruce Jenner but couldn't find the right one. So it was a happy surprise when Lamar Odom brought home this cute puppy. Khloe happily tweeted, "Look what Lammy got us! Our baby boxer."
Since then the whole Kardashian clan has hardly stopped raving about the latest addition to their family.
Kim Kardashian, who seemed out of the looped, tweeted, "WHAT?!!!??? THEY GOT A BOXER??? AWWWW" and Kylie Jenner Instagrammed a picture of her and the puppy getting cuddly.
The boxer is clearly getting a ton of attention from the family, and we can see why — he's so darn cute!

She wants to be Kim so badly (she's actually stated it).What she really needs to do is take care of her anorexia first. She is putting out the wrong image for many of the young girls who follow her on twitter. So sites like these should shame her into getting help. Her mother and father are in lala land.
