Man charged with child sex offensesStaff Report | April 11,2013A Fair Haven man already facing criminal sex offense charges will answer to two more charges alleging sexual acts involving an 11-year-old girl, according to Vermont State Police.
Brandon Ellis, 18, was arrested Monday and issued a citation to appear in Rutland criminal court May 6 to answer to felony charges of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child and luring a child.
Investigators with the Special Investigation Unit in Rutland, which handles sex crimes, said the alleged offenses took place two years ago when the girl, now 13, told police that Ellis exposed himself and tried to entice her to engage in a sexual act.
Ellis is on court-ordered conditions of release for pending sex charges that police say occurred at the same time as the new charges. Police did not say what the pending charges are.
If convicted of the two new charges, Ellis could face up to 20 years in jail.MORE IN Local & StateA survey conducted by the recreation department shows broad support for a municipal swimming pool.

At Dulles International Airport just outside Washington, D.C., the Transportation Security Administration puts Woody, a black Labrador retriever, to the test as a bomb-sniffing dog. Woody was born in early 2010, and weighs 64 pounds. He was trained at the Auburn University Canine Detection Training Center in Oxford, Alabama.
On a recent Friday, Woody patrolled as hundreds of people come through a security checkpoint.
One of these people had explosive material hidden in his luggage as part of the test. Woody sniffed, and locked in, catching the bait. Good dog.
But it doesn't always work this well.
A Government Accountability Office report released last week suggests that the Transportation Security Administration is not collecting enough detailed information to know if its bomb dogs are well-trained and capable of finding bombs at the nation's airports. The report includes secret video that shows the dogs failing tests to detect explosives. Sometimes trained dogs miss the target, and instead track an innocent passenger.
"You're using dogs in ways they have not been previously used," said Jeff Price, an associate professor at the Metropolitan State University of Denver who is the author of "Practical Aviation Security."
Dogs have long proven to be very successful at sniffing out explosives in luggage. But now they are increasingly being used to patrol busy airport terminals, sniffing passengers. The GAO report criticizes the government for spending $100 million on a new program, growing to 700 canine teams in roughly a year, before knowing how well the dogs could do the job.
"A lot of money gets spent before they know something works," said Price.
A dog's nose is thousands of times more sensitive than a human's. Dogs are able to sniff items from miles away. But in an airport terminal there may be hundreds of smells the dog must sift through. It can be overwhelming.
Sources tell ABC News in a majority of tests dogs do catch the explosives, but they also routinely fail — though the actual number is classified.
"There's no perfect layer of security," said the TSA's Chris McLaughlin. "These dogs are very effective."
The report calls for more testing to ensure that this critical tool in our airport defense is being used in the best way possible.

German auto major Volkswagen on Monday said it will offer package options to customers of its soon-to-be launched small car Polo, which will include features like accessories, safety and sports, and entertainment systems.
"We will be offering cosmetics like safety features, entertainment systems and sports packages in our Polo cars.
These features will be available at the dealers end during bookings," Volkswagen Chief General Manager (Marketing and PR) Lutz Kothe told reporters at the 10th Auto Expo.
He said the additional features will come in addition to the standard ones, which are factory-fitted in the car.
The company had unveiled its 1.3-litre, small car Polo during the current Auto Expo, which will be formally launched in the Indian market in March. The car will be manufactured at the company's Chakan plant in Maharashtra.
Mr. Kothe said the company will also undertake a 360-degree marketing and advertising campaign for Polo, which will involve use of print, electronic and Internet media.
Regarding the company's recently-launched Beetle, Kothe said Volkswagen has already received around 250 bookings for the car.
"250 bookings have come within one month of the car's launch. We are hopeful of a very good performance by the model in the Indian market," he added

FS: Brand new Hankook I Pike snow tires - 245/75/16 - $400 located in MA
Hey everyone,
I apologize for making my first post be a for sale thread, but I have been lurking the forums for a long time now. I bought these tires a few weeks ago and have since sold my Tacoma and have no use for them anymore. They are normally $500, however I am willing to take a loss and sell them at $400 just to get them out of my garage. They are brand new, never mounted, never driven on tires. They are located in Worcester, MA and I'm firm on the $400. It probably wouldn't be worth shipping since it would most likely cost a fortune to do so. Thanks, Yavuz http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...e/IMG_0524.jpg |

by David Brown The Swap headphones are customizable with different color accents and two sizes of earpads. (Black model shown) Two tough headphones in one cool design Good luck finding a set of headphones more versatile than the Swap from BOOM. Wear them as on-ear headphones, with small pads resting against your ears. Or add the larger pads and instantly convert them into over-the-ear headphones, for better noise-isolation. You can even swap out parts to change the look of the Swap, adding color accents. And because they were developed in conjunction with Polk Audio, BOOM's sister company, you can count on clear, well-balanced sound. Tougher than the rest Need headphones that are tough instead of fragile? You can wear the Swap indoors and outdoors, drop them, bend them — they can handle it. The durable polycarbonate headband is plenty strong yet flexible enough to bend without breaking, so you don't have to worry about them getting crushed or snapped in your bag. They're also water-resistant, so a little rain or sweat won't hurt them. Built-in microphone and remote The Swap features an in-line remote and microphone for use with Apple® devices.

Classification: Chordata, Reptilia, Dinosauria,
Saurischia, Theropoda, Megalosauroidea, Spinosauridae,
Species: S. aegyptiacus (type), S.

Fossil representation: To date at least six partial
specimens of the skull, mandible, neural spines and other
fragmentary post cranial remains. Teeth however are considerably more
Discovery &
as we know it today did not come into existence until the 1990's,
something that is quite surprising when you think that it was first
described in 1915. The reason for this is that there has been no
choice but to study only the most partial of remains, a study that
was frustrated even further in World War Two when the Munich museum
which housed the first Spinosaurus remains was
destroyed by a bombing
raid which also obliterated the Spinosaurus
holotype specimens.
holotype was a collection of partial remains that were recovered from
the Bahariya Formation of Egypt in 1912. These remains included a
small number of ribs, gastralia (belly ribs), vertebrae,
teeth, dentaries (the part of the lower jaw that holds the teeth)
left maxilla and of course some of the now famous neural spines.
This material was enough to convince Stromer that he was dealing with
a new theropod dinosaur, but the unprecedented nature of the find
combined with the understanding of the day still resulted in an
inaccurate first reconstruction.
main area of fault was the skull in that due to the lack of good skull
material Spinosaurus was given a more classic
carnosaur skull that
resembled something like that of an Allosaurus.
Also further material
attributed to Spinosaurus by Stromer in 1934
now appears to have
belonged to another theropod such as Carcharodontosaurus
that was
active in North Africa around the same time as Spinosaurus.
in his defence Stromer did consider the new material of hind limbs and
vertebrae to belong to something else which is why he named the
specimens 'Spinosaurus B'.
the largest part of the twentieth century Spinosaurus
was frequently
depicted in dinosaur books as a sail backed carnosaur that if it were
not for the sail would be like any other large theropod. This
depiction also existed well into the first decade of the twenty-first
century despite new discoveries proving otherwise. While usually
depicted as a bipedal predator, Spinosaurus has
also been envisioned
as a quadrupedal one. Today Spinosaurus is
thought to have been
primarily bipedal, but also possibly quadrupedal when hunting and
Spinosaurus material of vertebrae and partial
dentaries from the Kem
Kem Beds of Morocco were described by Dale Russel in 1996, but it
was a partial snout described by Russel and Torquet in 1998 that
hinted at the real nature of Spinosaurus. This
new material combined
with drawings of the Spinosaurus holotype specimen
allowed for the
material to be compared to two other dinosaurs that were discovered
late in the twentieth century. In England in 1983 a dinosaur
was found that would be named Baryonyx
in 1986, and this was a
theropod that had an unusual crocodile-like skull. Then in 1998
another new dinosaur was discovered in the Elrhaz Formation of Niger
that was very similar to Baryonyx save for tall
neural spines on its
back vertebrae. This dinosaur also had a crocodile like skull that
resulted in it being named Suchomimus
(crocodile mimic).
comparison of the new Spinosaurus material was a
comparatively easy one
as even though the snout material was incomplete, it was so similar
to Baryonyx and Suchomimus that
it was almost certain that Spinosaurus
was a similar type of dinosaur as these two. Today Spinosaurus
skeletons on display in museums are based upon these other two more
complete dinosaurs with some changes worked in to reflect the slight
differences in the known Spinosaurus material,
new examples of which
continue to be infrequently recovered from Africa.
these dinosaurs all sit within their own group and since Spinosaurus
was the first one named the group is called the Spinosauridae. Aside
from Baryonyx and Suchomimus,
others such as Irritator
and Oxalaia
are known from Brazil as well as other more dubious entries which may
probably be synonymous with others. The fact that spinosaruids are
known from Brazil and North Africa is also proof that the two
continents were still joined by land bridges perhaps as late as the
Early Cretaceous.
Estimating the size of Spinosaurus
is now often regarded as the biggest known meat eating theropod
dinosaur (herbivores like large sauropods were of course bigger),
however the
actual size is really just an estimate extrapolated from an educated
guess. What is clear is that Spinosaurus was a
very large animal but
herein lies the problem as the larger animals get, the less complete
their remains tend to be because it takes so much more material to bury
them and protect the body from scavengers and as well as the full
ravages of nature. The more an animal is exposed upon death means the
less complete long term remains like fossils will be.
with a smaller estimate of just over twelve and a half meters,
Spinosaurus would have been comparable to Tyrannosaurus,
and only
just smaller than Giganotosaurus
(it needs to be remembered that even
though Giganotosaurus has a size estimate of
thirteen meters,
it would still only be marginally larger than the largest known
Tyrannosaurus). Comparison to other smaller
spinosaurids that were
consequently scaled up to the same size as the Spinosaurus
points to sizes that approach the larger length estimate as indeed
being possible. For the time being at least, Spinosaurus
is likely
to remain the longest theropod.
however is but one measure of size, and often it is not the length of
the animal that is important but the weight. Gauging the weight of an
animal from bones is considerably more difficult that just measuring
the length because so many factors need to be considered. Different
kinds of tissue can be denser than others resulting in different
weights even though they take up the same space (for example muscle
weighs more that fatty tissue). You also need to look at how the
tissue is distributed as many 'larger' animals are often only large
when viewed from one angle and can be very thin in their actual build.
clear size estimate for Spinosaurus currently
exists as estimates are
usually based between individuals interpretation on comparison
techniques, the results of which can only be as accurate as the
comparison techniques and data used. Spinosaurus
is sometimes
cited as being between from just under twelve to twenty-one metric
tons. Comparison to other large theropods is problematic not just
because of the broad range of estimates for Spinosaurus,
but also
because the amount that other theropods weighed is a constant subject
of debate. While Spinosaurus is often cited as
being heavier than
other large theropods, it often ends up being lighter too.
The lifestyle of Spinosaurus
Spinosaurus had been a mainstay of dinosaur books
since as early as
the 1970's, the wider public were not introduced to its current
form until the release of the 2001 film Jurassic Park III.
both this film and earlier depictions where is had a more 'classic'
theropod skull, Spinosaurus was a predator
larger and more fearsome
than even a Tyrannosaurus rex, and would spend
its time chasing and
killing other dinosaurs like Ouranosaurus.
reality however may in fact be very different. To reveal the nature
of Spinosaurus, you first need to look at the
skull elements, not
only the most well-known parts but it's the skull that often gives
the best indication of lifestyle for any predator. Usually theropods
have relatively short and high snouts to house such body parts as
biting muscles and nasal cavities so that they can hunt by scent.
Spinosaurus however had a comparatively long and
narrow snout like a
crocodile. The tip of the snout has a recessed dip in the premaxilla
which the tip of the rounded lower jaw matches and fits into. This
adaptation is seen in some other animals such as crocodiles and serves
to increase grip upon smaller prey, particularly slippery prey such
as fish.
teeth of Spinosaurus are neither serrated and
flattened for slicing,
or strongly built for crunching bone. They are however narrow,
sharp and numerous like they are sometimes seen in crocodiles as well
as piscivorous fish eating pterosaurs.
The arrangement of the forward
teeth of the upper jaw is such that the largest are on either
sides of the premaxilla notch and point towards the rounded tip of the
lower jaw. The teeth on this rounded lower jaw tip point upwards into
the curvature of the snout notch. Oxygen isotope analysis of
Spinosaurus teeth has also revealed that they were
exposed to aquatic
environments for long periods.
further special adaptation are the nostrils which are high up just in
front of the eyes. This is very unusual in itself for a carnivorous
animal because as an unofficial rule carnivores have their nostrils in
the front of their snouts, to not only allow for scents to be more
accurately analysed through a larger nasal cavity, but also to easily
smell the meat that they are eating. The fact that the nostrils are
so high strongly suggests that the more usual placement was not
possible due to how Spinosaurus lived and behaved.
final piece of currently available evidence is the actual construction
of the snout. A 2009 study by C. Dal Sasso, S. Maganuco and
A Cioffi focused upon what were small passages called foramina that
lead towards the same cavity inside the snout. These are taken to
have been pressure sensitive receptors that when dipped into the water
revealed the motions of passing fish that created pressure waves as
they swam through the water, allowing Spinosaurus
to not only know
when a fish was nearby, but when it would be at its closest for a
together these adaptations point to Spinosaurus
being a very
specialised predator that hunted for fish from the side of rivers.
The long and narrow snout meant that Spinosaurus
could dip its
pressure sensitive nose into the water while having a large area for
surface capture. The higher nostrils meant that Spinosaurus
comfortably breathe while its snout was dipped in the water, although
a possible weakness here could be a reduced nasal cavity that meant
Spinosaurus could not process smells as well as
other large theropods
that had larger nasal cavities. Because the teeth were angled to
follow the contours of their opposite jaws they would have provided the
maximum amount of available grip on a slippery and struggling fish.
of the most accurate depictions of this lifestyle was in the 2011
BBC series Planet Dinosaur, which depicted Spinosaurus
as a large
and specialised carnivore that primarily focused upon hunting fish like
yet would also supplement its diet by scavenging
carrion. It should be remembered that as a meat-eater Spinosaurus
would not have passed up the opportunity for a free meal, perhaps
using its more massive size to intimidate smaller theropods like
or even terrestrial crocodiles like Kaprosuchus
from a
carcass. If active at the same time as one another then Spinosaurus
may have even gone after the kills of giant crocodiles like Sarcosuchus
which would have been living in the same ecosystem.
possibility also remains that Spinosaurus may have
hunted land
animals, although no fossil evidence is known that strongly supports
this. In South America a pterosaur bone was found with a spinosaurid
tooth stuck into it, and recovery of the related Baryonyx
the presence of Iguanodon
bones inside of the area
that its gut would
have been. Still these may have been cases of scavenging rather than
attempted hunting. Baryonyx also revealed the
partially digested
remains of the fish Lepidotes,
further supporting the fish
specialisation hypothesis.
Spinosaurus disappears from the fossil record well
before the end of
the dinosaurs sixty-five million years ago, it must have succumbed to
something else other than the established extinction theories that
ended the dinosaurs once and for all. Perhaps the easiest explanation
for its demise is that it simply became far too specialised, and when
the ecosystem it was living in changed to be drier the rivers systems
dried up, removing the prey source that Spinosaurus
was best equipped
to deal with. In the face of competition with more generalist
theropods, Spinosaurus just could not compete
with their success and
was eventually driven to extinction.
Sail or hump, and more
importantly why?
key features of Spinosaurus are the high neural
spines of the dorsal
vertebrae that were the inspiration for the name, the largest of
which of the original material was one hundred and sixty-five
centimetres long. The actual construction that resulted from these
spines however is one of the key subjects of debate with the two main
camps being 'sail' and 'hump' (a rare third is that the spines
stuck out by themselves but the majority of palaeontologists consider
this very unlikely).
sail would have given Spinosaurus an appearance
similar to the famous
but much older Dimetrodon.
The sail itself would have been a membrane
of skin and thin tissue that would have been held high off the back for
maximum exposure. However the spines themselves seem incredibly
strong and robust just for the purpose of supporting a skin sail, and
this leads into the hump theory. A hump probably would not have been
a very musculature structure but composed more of fatty tissues that
may have been used for food storage as well as weighing less than the
same proportionate amount of muscle.
only thing that inspires even greater debate about whether Spinosaurus
had a sail or hump is just what it was there for. Why did Spinosaurus
have to be so different, not just from other theropods, but the
other spinosaurids where the vertebrae are known to have much smaller
neural spines. Returning to the above theory of a hump of fatty
tissue would suggest that the humps primary use would be store fat when
Spinosaurus was able to gorge itself on a plentiful
supply. Going
with the fish specialisation, Spinosaurus's prey
may have been
seasonal with fish swimming upstream to spawn, but being relatively
sparse throughout the rest of the year. Spinosaurus
may have stored
extra food as fat so that it could continue into the leaner times of
the year where prey was less frequent when it may have had to
supplement its diet by scavenging. Fish would also probably not be
constantly active in the same water system and Spinosaurus
may have had
travel quite a distance when searching for fish. This concept has
also been proposed for Acrocanthosaurus,
another theropod dinosaur
with slightly enlarged neural spines that was active in the Aptian to
Albian stages of North America. This may have been an adaptation to
the climate as Suchomimus which is also from North
Africa had a similar
but smaller growth on its back where as Baryonyx
which is known from
England did not have any neural spine growth at all (all though there
is speculation that the Baryonyx holotype is of a
juvenile dinosaur).
and more controversial theory is that of thermoregulation. By pumping
blood up into either the sail or hump, Spinosaurus
could expose its
blood to the warmth of the sun's rays increasing its body temperature
so that it could become more active. Also if too warm it may have
relied upon a prevailing wind to cool its blood so that it did not
overheat. The problem with this theory is that it automatically
assumes that Spinosaurus was cold blooded and
relied upon basking in
the sun. There have been many studies done that suggest dinosaurs
were potentially warm-blooded even if the exact method was not
identical to mammalian methods of maintaining a warm-blooded
metabolism. As a very large dinosaur Spinosaurus
may have been
subjected to the effects of gigantothermy where an animal is so massive
that its own body insulates its internal parts from the outside cold.
in between theory is that since Spinosaurus
presumably spent a lot of
time in the water waiting to strike at fish it may have been chilled by
the very water it was standing in. By exposing its sail/hump to the
sun it could possibly warm its blood enough to counter the waters
cooling effect. However this would not explain why others like
Baryonyx and Suchomimus did not
do the same, unless size of the
animal is a determining factor.
most popular theory, which is a failsafe option for any unknown
growth, is that the sail/hump was for the purpose of display. This
would be a characteristic where the most complete, and possibly even
the most colourful sail/hump was the best, and the individual it
belonged to was more likely to pass on its genes to the next generation
of Spinosaurus. This could in part also connect
with the fat hump
theory in that a well fed Spinosaurus would have a
larger and fatter
hump that would show others of its kind how successful a predator it
was, proving that it was more worthy of reproducing.

UPDATED: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - 4:13pm
The decision by the University of Texas System Chancellor to cancel the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Andy Lee fight on June 16 citing concerns of safety and that the UTEP campus is not the appropriate venue for this event came as a shock to the Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Implying that border violence is reason for cancellation is inflammatory and damaging to the image and reputation of El Paso and is not based in fact. El Paso has consistently been named the safest city in the United States. Additionally Sun Bowl Stadium is more than just a campus venue – it is a community venue hosting the nationally significant Sun Bowl Football Bowl game and community events such as Monster Jam, the Rolling Stones, and soccer matchups. We call upon the UT System to reconsider its decision.

Ellis Island
Location in Port of New York and New Jersey
Ellis Island, in Upper New York Bay, was the gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States as the nation's busiest immigrant inspection station from 1892 until 1924. The island was greatly expanded with land reclamation between 1892 and 1934. Before that, the much smaller original island was the site of Fort Gibson and later a naval magazine. The island was made part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument in 1965, and has hosted a museum of immigration since 1990. A 1998 United States Supreme Court decision found most of the island to be part of New Jersey. The south side of the island, home to the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is closed to the general public and the object of restoration efforts spearheaded by Save Ellis Island. The island has been closed to the public since Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. For more information about Ellis_Island.
Castle Garden
Castle Garden, is a circular sandstone fort now located in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan Island. Once known as Castle Garden, now call Castle Clinton or Fort Clinton the Garden construction was began in 1808 and was completed in 1811. Much more information at Castle_Garden
Immigrants Coming through Ellis Island and Castle Garden
Ellis Island
Ellis Island was expanded and by the time it closed on November 12, 1954, twelve million immigrants had been processed by the U.S. Bureau of Immigration. It is estimated that 10.5 million immigrants departed for points across the United States from the Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, located just across a narrow strait. Others would have used one of the other terminals along the North River (Hudson River) at that time. The peak year for immigration at Ellis Island was 1907, with 1,004,756 immigrants processed. The all-time daily high occurred on April 17, 1907, when 11,747 immigrants arrived. After the Immigration Act of 1924 was passed, which greatly restricted immigration and allowed processing at overseas embassies, the only immigrants to pass through the station were displaced persons or war refugees.
Today, over 100 million Americans - one third of the population - can trace their ancestry to the immigrants who first arrived in America at Ellis Island before dispersing to points all over the country. More about the Immigrant_Inspection_Station
Castle Garden
Castle Garden is perhaps best remembered as America's first immigration station (predating Ellis Island), where more than 8 million people arrived in the U.S. from 1855 to 1890. Much more at Castle Garden A short overview of the early immigration conditions can be found in Castle Garden as an Immigrant Depot, 1855-1890
Detention and deportation station
After 1924, Ellis Island became primarily a detention and deportation processing station. A timeline about Ellis Island Here
During and immediately following World War II Ellis Island was used to intern German merchant mariners and enemy aliens - American civilians or immigrants detained for fear of spying, sabotage, etc. Some 7,000 Germans, Italians and Japanese would be detained at Ellis Island. It was also a processing center for returning sick or wounded U.S. soldiers, and a Coast Guard training base. Ellis Island still managed to process tens of thousands of immigrants a year during this time, but many fewer than the hundreds of thousands a year who arrived before the war. After the war immigration rapidly returned to earlier levels.
Records of Ellis_Island and Castle Garden
Ellis Island
The inspectors used the passenger lists given to them by the steamship companies to process each foreigner. These were the sole immigration records for entering the country and were prepared not by the U.S. Bureau of Immigration but by steamship companies such as the Cunard Line, the White Star Line, the North German Lloyd Line, the Hamburg-Amerika Line, the Italian Steam Navigation Company, the Red Star Line, the Holland America Line, and the Austro-American Line.
Castle Garden
CastleGarden.org is an educational project of The Battery Conservancy. This free site offers access to an extraordinary database of information on 11 million immigrants from 1820 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened. More than 100 million Americans can trace their ancestors to this early immigration period.

Prey is touted as having an adaptive difficulty system -- the better you are, the better it gets -- and it really did seem to get harder as the game went on. As a result, there are just two difficulty settings, Normal and Cherokee, and I'd advise that even vets might want to give Normal a try on the first run out, letting the game's artificial intelligence pick up the pace to a comfortable level.
The game that "Doom 3" and "Quake 4" wished they could be. It's ruthlessly violent and action-packed, yet consistently subversive and innovative -- not unlike "Duke Nukem 3D," another 3D Realms-produced game. It's also one of the least frustrating games we've ever played.
Prey is a masterpiece that simply should not be missed. [Aug 2006, p.80]
Prey is an old school shooter with better standards than the shooters we've seen lately. It has its flaws, but they're overshadowed by its quality and innovation.
Prey has the tired old first-person shooter rulebook in a spin. Captivating stuff. [Sept 2006, p.62]
Plot holes aside, the gameplay in Prey is nothing short of amazing. Whether you're wandering up walls, shifting gravity, shrunk down to the size of a mouse, going into spirit form, fighting in the afterlife, or floating around in a service vehicle... Prey has got everything anyone could want from a sci-fi shooter and more.
With some truly imaginative level design, a compelling story with dramatic highlights, good voice acting and dialog, and more interesting weapons, Prey earns a spot on this shooter fan's hard drive.
While not exactly as breathtaking as "Half-Life 2," Prey can rightfully be called one of the best, if not *the* best FPS game of the year so far.
While Prey brings a lot of innovation and fun with it, it's not quite the system-shattering killer app that a decade of delay should promise. It is, however, a solid FPS with many never before seen features and an interesting and original storyline.
It manages to do the expected FPS stuff well while adding some new mechanics that spice things up. Good use of the Doom 3 engine makes the presentation superb, as well.
It's exactly like one of those big-budget Hollywood summer blockbusters: You wish it gave your brain as much of a work-out as your finger, but there's no question that its superb action, terrific pacing, and actual puzzles combine to make Prey the best single-player first-person shooter since "HalfLife 2." [Sept. 2006, p.73]
A fresh and exciting step forward in a market that always threatens to be staid and blinkered, and I hope future games will steal (not borrow) its innovation, its excitement and style.
And even though the single-player is extremely linear and might be a bit short for certain tastes – you can complete it in less than 6 hours – Prey manages to avoid being a game released just for financial reasons. And considering its finale – the one after the Credits mind you – I sincerely hope that Human Head will continue the series with even more wackier ideas.
The graphics are top notch as well, very clean and distinct. Items are easily recognizable and the line of sight is strong.
Ten years of waiting has paid off: Prey is a fine shooter with good playability and graphics. It doesn't bring anything truly innovative to the genre, but what it does, it does pretty well, and stuff like portals and gravity tricks make preying a lot of fun. [Aug 2006, p.40]
I was able to breeze through Prey in around nine hours--probably because of how easy it is to resurrect yourself after death--making it a short but very sweet game. And definitely worth the wait. [Sep 2006, p.43]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Toxicity is the degree to which a substance can damage an organism. Toxicity can refer to the effect on a whole organism, such as an animal, bacterium, or plant, as well as the effect on a substructure of the organism, such as a cell (cytotoxicity) or an organ such as the liver (hepatotoxicity). By extension, the word may be metaphorically used to describe toxic effects on larger and more complex groups, such as the family unit or society at large.
A central concept of toxicology is that effects are dose-dependent; even water can lead to water intoxication when taken in too high a dose, whereas for even a very toxic substance such as snake venom there is a dose below which there is no detectable toxic effect. Toxicity is species-specific, making cross-species analysis problematic. Newer paradigms and metrics are evolving to bypass animal testing, while maintaining the concept of toxicity endpoints.[1]
There are generally three types of toxic entities; chemical, biological, and physical:
Toxicity can be measured by its effects on the target (organism, organ, tissue or cell). Because individuals typically have different levels of response to the same dose of a toxic substance, a population-level measure of toxicity is often used which relates the probabilities of an outcome for a given individual in a population. One such measure is the LD50. When such data does not exist, estimates are made by comparison to known similar toxic things, or to similar exposures in similar organisms. Then, "safety factors" are added to account for uncertainties in data and evaluation processes. For example, if a dose of a toxic substance is safe for a laboratory rat, one might assume that one tenth that dose would be safe for a human, allowing a safety factor of 10 to allow for interspecies differences between two mammals; if the data are from fish, one might use a factor of 100 to account for the greater difference between two chordate classes (fish and mammals). Similarly, an extra protection factor may be used for individuals believed to be more susceptible to toxic effects such as in pregnancy or with certain diseases. Or, a newly synthesized and previously unstudied chemical that is believed to be very similar in effect to another compound could be assigned an additional protection factor of 10 to account for possible differences in effects that are probably much smaller. Obviously, this approach is very approximate; but such protection factors are deliberately very conservative, and the method has been found to be useful in a deep variety of applications.
Assessing all aspects of the toxicity of cancer-causing agents involves additional issues, since it is not certain if there is a minimal effective dose for carcinogens, or whether the risk is just too small to see. In addition, it is possible that a single cell transformed into a cancer cell is all it takes to develop the full effect (the "one hit" theory).
It is more difficult to determine the toxicity of chemical mixtures than a pure chemical, because each component displays its own toxicity, and components may interact to produce enhanced or diminished effects. Common mixtures include gasoline, cigarette smoke, and industrial waste. Even more complex are situations with more than one type of toxic entity, such as the discharge from a malfunctioning sewage treatment plant, with both chemical and biological agents.
The preclinical toxicity testing on various biological systems reveals the species-, organ- and dose- specific toxic effects of an investigational product. The toxicity of substances can be observed by (a) studying the accidental exposures to a substance (b) in vitro studies using cells/ cell lines (c) in vivo exposure on experimental animals. Toxicity tests are mostly used to examine specific adverse events or specific end points such as cancer, cardiotoxicity, and skin/eye irritation. Toxicity testing also helps calculate the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) dose and is helpful for clinical studies.[2]
For substances to be regulated and handled appropriately they must be properly classified and labelled. Classification is determined by approved testing measures or calculations and have determined cut off levels set by governments and scientists. While currently many countries have different regulations regarding the types of tests, amounts of tests and cut off levels, the implementation of Global Harmonization will begin unifying these countries as early as 2008.[3][4]
Global Classification looks at three areas: Physical Hazards (explosions and pyrotechnics),[5] Health Hazards[6] and Environmental Hazards.[7]
The types of toxicities where substances may cause lethality to the entire body, lethality to specific organs, major/minor damage, or cause cancer. These are globally accepted definitions of what toxicity is.[6] Anything falling outside of the definition cannot be classified as that type of toxicant.
This section needs additional citations for verification. (August 2009) |
Acute toxicity looks at lethal effects following oral, dermal or inhalation exposure. It is split into five categories of severity where Category 1 requires the least amount of exposure to be lethal and Category 5 requires the most exposure to be lethal. The table below shows the upper limits for each category.
Method of administration | Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3 | Category 4 | Category 5 |
Oral: LD50 measured in mg/kg of bodyweight | 5 | 50 | 300 | 2 000 | 5 000 |
Dermal: LD50 measured in mg/kg of bodyweight | 50 | 200 | 1 000 | 2 000 | 5 000 |
Gas Inhalation: LC50 measured in ppmV | 100 | 500 | 2 500 | 20 000 | Undefined |
Vapour Inhalation: LC50 measured in mg/L | 0.5 | 2.0 | 10 | 20 | Undefined |
Dust and Mist Inhalation: LC50 measured in mg/L | 0.05 | 0.5 | 1.0 | 5.0 | Undefined |
Note: The undefined values are expected to be roughly equivalent to the category 5 values for oral and dermal administration.[citation needed]
Skin corrosion and irritation are determined though a skin patch test analysis. This examines the severity of the damage done; when it is incurred and how long it remains; whether it is reversible and how many test subjects were affected.
Skin corrosion from a substance must penetrate through the epidermis into the dermis within four hours of application and must not reverse the damage within 14 days. Skin irritation shows damage less severe than corrosion if: the damage occurs within 72 hours of application; or for three consecutive days after application within a 14 day period; or causes inflammation which lasts for 14 days in two test subjects. Mild skin irritation minor damage (less severe than irritation) within 72 hours of application or for three consecutive days after application.
Serious eye damage involves tissue damage or degradation of vision which does not fully reverse in 21 days. Eye irritation involves changes to the eye which do fully reverse within 21 days.
This section requires expansion. (August 2009) |
Environmental hazards tend to focus on degradability, bioaccumulation and aquatic toxicity.[7]
There are many environmental health mapping tools. TOXMAP is a Geographic Information System (GIS) from the Division of Specialized Information Services[8] of the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) that uses maps of the United States to help users visually explore data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Toxics Release Inventory and Superfund programs. TOXMAP is a resource funded by the US Federal Government. TOXMAP's chemical and environmental health information is taken from NLM's Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET)[9] and PubMed, and from other authoritative sources.
Aquatic toxicity testing submerges key indicator species of fish or crustacea to certain concentrations of a substance in their environment to determine the lethality level. Fish are exposed for 96 hours while crustacea are exposed for 48 hours. While GHS does not define toxicity past 100 mg/l, the EPA currently lists aquatic toxicity as "practically non-toxic" in concentrations greater than 100 ppm.[10]
Exposure | Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3 |
Acute | ≤ 1.0 mg/L | ≤ 10 mg/L | ≤ 100 mg/L |
Chronic | ≤ 1.0 mg/L | ≤ 10 mg/L | ≤ 100 mg/L |
Note: A category 4 is established for chronic exposure, but simply contains any toxic substance which is mostly insoluble, or has no data for acute toxicity.
Toxicity of a substance can be affected by many different factors, such as the pathway of administration (whether the toxin is applied to the skin, ingested, inhaled, injected), the time of exposure (a brief encounter or long term), the number of exposures (a single dose or multiple doses over time), the physical form of the toxin (solid, liquid, gas), the genetic makeup of an individual, an individual's overall health, and many others. Several of the terms used to describe these factors have been included here.
"Toxic" and similar words came from Greek τοξον = "bow (weapon)" via "poisoned arrow", which came to be used for "poison" in scientific language, as the usual Classical Greek word ('ιον) for "poison" would transcribe as "io-", which is not distinctive enough. In some biological names, "toxo-" still means "bow", as in Toxodon = "bow-toothed" from the shape.

love these slippers,quick Christmas gift.to stop slipping use the material for babypajama bottoms sold in yards.
One of my crochet patterns calls for plastic canvas to be used within slippers, carefully cutting the curves so they round slightly and using foam (they sell at craft stores and major retailers in craft section)....you can then wash okay. I know one of my fav slippers got totaled when I washed them---wasn't even any point of drying...entire insides clumped SO knowing that has made me bit wiser now that I am making my own instead.
going to make these--one pair a month-- for Christmas gifts for the whole family. Awesome and I know the guys will like them ...but without the bow! cool
I just finished mine and I already love them!! My feet sweat easily in regular house shoes, but since these are cotton denim, my feet stay warm and dry. I have wide feet, size 8, so had to make many adjustments to the pattern. For the sole I used a craft foam sheet topped with a piece of 1" thick foam cushioning, them just a simple layer of batting for the upper. I didn't use the iron-on fusing at all, and mine have plenty of body. After making the first shoe I realized it would be easier to leave the outside edge open to slip in the foam in the sole, and stitch that up by hand. That was way easier than trying to stitch around the toe as the pattern tells you.
WOW! Great Idea! I've recently grown out of several jeans (the jeans didn't shrink, I did) and this is a great idea! I think I'll adorn it with some leftover leather strips, moccasin style. Thank you so much!!! :D
Does the iron-on-fusing go on the inside of the upper piece against the foot, or the top of upper piece that will be showing? I'm thinking on the top upper piece that's showing, that way the part against the skin is soft and comfy...Cheryl
for the foot bed, crafting foam makes a nice "memory foam" type feel if you double it. Judy

at the top of one's lungs
Also, at the top of one's voice. With an extremely loud voice. For example, The babies in the nursery all were crying at the top of their lungs. The noun top here refers to the greatest degree of volume (that is, loudest) rather than high pitch, a usage dating from the mid-1500s.

Last weekend, while my family was out at breakfast, we ran into a family we hadn't seen in years. Since it had been quite a while, their family had grown and they had just recently had a baby. As we struggled to catch up quickly in the busy restaurant, she introduced us to their newest addition – an adorable little girl, about 6 months old.
And then it happened. She extended the baby towards me…and I knew exactly what the next words out of her mouth were going to be. "Do you want to hold her?," she asked.
You see, the problem with this inquiry is that there's no nice way to say no. There just isn't. And yet, I still didn't want to hold her (ridiculously cute) baby. All too experienced with this situation, I tried to reach out to gently touch the baby's hand and smile at her instead. Unfortunately, with the angle that the mom tried to "deliver" the child into my arms, it resulted in a strange and awkward face/arm petting event where I again told the mom how cute her daughter was (seriously, she's adorable). After it was all over, and as awkward as it might have been, I still breathed a sigh of relief because I didn't have to actually hold her baby.
Make no mistake, I love my children and held them all. the. time. when they were babies. In fact, I still hold them often. Just ask my 5 year old who refuses to wake up every morning for school causing me to have to carry her down the stairs because I don't have time for a fight I can't win at 7am. Or my 3 year old who has decided that I'm better than furniture, and – without any notice – will plop herself down on my lap make her self comfortable. And if there's ever an Olympic event where someone has to rinse and load dishes into a dishwasher with one hand while holding a nearly 1 year old with the other, Everett's trained me for the gold medal. No one else has a chance.
But hold someone else's baby? Um, no.
The awkward occurrence last Sunday morning isn't the first of it's kind, nor will it be the last. More and more often, I feel like I'm put in the situation where I'm politely declining or downright dodging babies that are being thrust into my arms, because people assume I want to hold them.
Except I don't.
Honestly, I just don't feel the need to hold them. And if I'm absolutely candid about it, as flattered as I am that a parent would trust me with their beloved child, holding other babies makes me uncomfortable. Truth is, before having my own babies, I wasn't much of a baby person. I wasn't someone who babysat other kids or gushed over random babies in public. It's not that I don't like other people's babies, it's just that I like them slightly better from afar. The love and bond that I have for my kids – that makes me want to hold them – doesn't exist between me and other children. And that natural, "I love babies" that seems inherent in most other women, just I don't have.
Of course, like anything else, there are exceptions. For example, if I'm visiting a friend with a new baby and the baby starts to fuss just as the mom starts to do something in the other room, I'm happy to help out by holding her baby. But in that case, I'm really helping the mom out, not getting a baby fix. It's so difficult to get things done around the house with a newborn, and if I can help a mom out – either by doing things around the house for her or holding a baby while she does things around the house – I'll do it. Do I get a warm fuzzy sensation from holding a little baby? No. But I'm helping a mom out and I like that.
I often question what makes people ask or assume that I want to hold their baby. Maybe it's what they think friends do. Maybe because I'm female (goodness knows, I get more inquiries than my husband…even though they have a much better chance of a "yes" with him). Or maybe it's because I already have children. Or maybe it's because every other person on Earth wants a baby fix and I'm the only one struggling to find a polite way to say no. I'm not sure.
While discussing this post with a friend of mine – who is very much a Baby Holder, and will hunt people down to hold a baby – it became apparent that this is one of those things where you either are or you aren't. So which are you – a Baby Holder or a Baby Dodger?

Last week, Senate Republicans blocked a Democratic-backed bill calling for equal pay for African-Americans in the workplace. The vote to break the Republican filibuster failed along party lines 52-47, short of the required 60-vote threshold. Democratic leaders said that they forced the vote to highlight the 13 percent unemployment rate in the black community that has been hit especially hard by the recession.
The vote ignited widespread protests. African-American office workers staged walkouts, effectively shutting down many government offices and schools where equal opportunity hiring practices have prevailed. This sparked worries that police departments, lacking their African-American officers, might not be able to handle violent protests.
Luckily, the widespread protests were peaceful, albeit disruptive. A photograph of a black executive who blocked the path of a white commuter while holding a sign that read, "Want progress? Me, too!" spread quickly over social media. The so-called "Want progress?" blockade effectively brought evening rush hour to a halt from coast to coast, highlighting frustration in the black community over what had been a simmering conflict.
Of course, none of this happened, or at least it didn't quite happen this way. Senate Republicans weren't doing this to blacks, Latinos, redheaded strangers or the boys of summer. It was only women.
The party-line vote did take place, and the Paycheck Fairness Act does exist, but it wouldn't require equal pay for blacks, only women. The only real difference between what I wrote and what really happened is the total lack of any public protest from women at Republicans voting against equal pay.
"And that is a surprise? Women just got the vote in 1920. For most of the history of humankind women have been legitimately treated as property," said labor organizer Peggy Schaffer. Schaffer, a Mainer, pointed out that her two supposedly moderate but definitely female Republican Senators voted to kill the equal pay measure.
In Washington, partisanship trumps gender, if not equal protection under the law. And with Republicans obstructing anything that doesn't conform to their Ayn Rand ideology, maybe we should be grateful that Barack Obama's not trying to pass the Civil Rights Act, though it would be great to see Lyndon Johnson quarterbacking the Paycheck Protection Act against the likes of Mitch McConnell and Eric Cantor.
But that doesn't explain the lack of outrage. This is the year of the War on Women, in which Rush Limbaugh insulting a law student became a national scandal. We're having big fights over when a zygote achieves civil rights and whether birth control is preventative medicine. The outrage over women's health was so loud even Rick Perry kinda-sorta backed down when he tried to defund Planned Parenthood.
Now Republicans have voted that equal pay for equal work should not be the law of the land. We have an up-or-down vote on the basic measure of worth of a woman in the workplace. We have a War on Women all teed up. If Republicans were doing this to blacks, the justifiable indignation would consume us. But this is only happening to women.
"In 1963 women made 59 cents for every dollar that men made. Now it's 77 cents," explained Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD). "What does that mean? It means every five years women make an advancement of one penny."
Where's the outrage?
