for a basic setup?
What kinda keg are you talking about?
They have some basic setups for the 5 gallon soda kegs that you can dispense from a refrigerator. It includes everything you need; kegs, regulator, CO2 tank, taps, tubing etc.
I'm a very satisfied customer of Todd at www.kegconnection.com. Great service!
EdWortHaus Pale Ale, Bavarian Hefeweizen, Robust Porter, Oktoberfest Ale, Wounded Knee IPA, Rye IPA, BCB IPA, Kolsch, Apfelwein
Yeah...I think I bottled 2 times and said screw that!
I bought the 4 keg setup from this guy a few months ago and have been very satisfied. The equipment was clean, shipped quickly, and felt like I got a good deal.
After seeing this (http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=86) I no longer think BierMuncher's junk is ugly.
Thanks for the resource Ed, theyv'e got good prices, and they get better the more kegs you buy.
that guy is great. i was driving from austin to san antonio and he met me to give me my kegs in san marcos so i wouldn't have to pay shipping. very nice guy. i highly recommend him. i wish he sold more stuff. i would buy all my stuff from him if he sold other supplies. and he has some things that aren't on the site (at least when i bought some stuff 3 months ago). so if you want something that you think he should have, give him a call.

Needle palm seeds
How can I tell when needle palm seeds are ripe? I have several baseball sized clumps at the base of a few of my plants, that I would like to plant around the yard. Last year I think I picked them too early, as none ever grew. They do smell terrible...
I'm in SE NC, zone 8. I have been spreading handfulls of the native S. minor seeds around the understory of my privet and honeysuckle infested wooded back yard for two years. I now have dozens of grass like baby Sabals popping up in all sorts of places. I also hand planted several dozen needle seeds that I picked from the bunches of fruit last year in some select places around the yard but they never grew. It turns out that today when I was weeding around the needle palms, I noticed about 10 seedlings under them. I thought maybe they were stray palmettos, but looking at them closer they are definitly needles. I guess the seeds that I left on the plants 2 years ago, fell off and finally germinated and grew into something this summer. I will be curious to see if the seeds I planted last summer, germinate this upcoming spring.
I have since had luck germinating seeds that I picked from the plants. I assumed they are ripe when the thin outer layer of fruit is easy to scrape off and stinks like rancid butter. They just take so long to germinate (at least when planted directly in the ground) that I originally thought I may have picked them too early. Just a month ago this year, about a dozen (out of 20) needle palm seeds that I planted in a mulch ring around the base of a tree in 2012 sprouted and are finally growing. Very few of the needle palm seeds potted indoors sprouted with bottom heat very quickly, and the rest did nothing. Maybe if I held on to the potted seeds for 2 years they would be sprouting now too?

Update On Open-Source AMD Fusion Llano Support
Published on 13 August 2011 08:05 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
7 Comments
Last month when testing the
AMD Radeon HD 6550D
graphics as found on the
AMD Fusion A8-3850
APU I mentioned the latest Git code (Linux kernel / Mesa / DDX) was broken for this Llano-generation APU while the proprietary Catalyst driver had "just worked" under Linux. Here's an update where the open-source driver support is now at today.
Now being back to the office, on Friday I pulled and built the latest Git components of the Radeon Linux graphics stack. When doing so, unfortunately, nothing had changed. The A8-3850 on the Gigabyte A75M-UD2H motherboard configuration still failed to properly light up the display when starting X, with the same problems as talked about (and shown) in last month's Llano graphics article. It didn't matter whether the display was using DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort, but the same problem persisted.
AMD's Alex Deucher then mentioned to me, "I got a production Llano board this week and will be testing it out and fixing any remaining bugs. DVI and HDMI seem to work well on this board, but VGA is still having issues." It seems his production board is in better shape and that these current display problems may be motherboard-specific.
I've supplied Alex with a copy of the video BIOS for the Gigabyte A75M-UD2H so hopefully that will be fixed up soon. For now, it's just bound to using the AMD Catalyst driver on this motherboard, or the VESA driver if you really hate AMD's binary blob that much.

It's been twenty years since the morning I trudged my moving boxes up shag-carpeted stairs to rooms in the eaves of my boyfriend's sister's house. The cultural mix in that Mediterranean-cum-Dutch colonial was a San Francisco microcosm: myself white; the boyfriend and his sister Filipino; the sister's husband a Rasta who, along with his sister and her family made his living growing weed in the garage. The house was on Plymouth Street at the edge of St. Francis Wood — a middle-class neighborhood a bit shabby at the seams, like much of San Francisco back then. Good bones in a consignment frock.
For too long the city had been resting on it Sixties flower-child laurels. Easterners and Southern Californians considered it a second cousin to L.A. and nothing to New York. San Francisco was the quirky fringe: a home to liberal politics; a classy underdog with an edgy bathhouse scene; a center of nouvelle cuisine and commercial design; a harbor for Asian and Central American exiles; a land for mischief-makers, do-gooders and eccentrics, from Carol Doda to Wavy Gravy to Herb Caen.
The boyfriend and I parted, but San Francisco stuck. I moved successively, to Nob Hill to Pacific Heights to a flat in the Haight — alone, in love, alone, in love — a transit, if a person could ever be so young, much like the tawny afternoon sun.
For people in flux, San Francisco, all treasure and heart, has been always a haven. Whereas New York hones the initiate, San Francisco encourages a familial conversation in which everyone has a voice, even if no one's listening. Easy acceptance, a temperate climate, liberal politics, gorgeous views — you get the fuzzy attraction.
But the old ease dissipated in the gulfstream, NASDAQ Nineties. The tech revolution brought rude traffic and stratospheric real estate prices. Three-bedroom starter homes in modest Noe Valley sold for upwards of a million bucks. Starlet restaurants and shops were born weekly. A mood of intolerance evinced itself in a political movement to end the "Homeless Problem" once and for all. The city of acceptance became defined by nose-bleed net worths, aggressive consumption and the forced exodus of young families who couldn't afford the bill.
Now, the For Rent signs are out again, and it's possible to get into a hot restaurant without making a reservation two months in advance. But the new money ethos has left its mark and the question, What's the authentic San Francisco? A question for the country as a whole, but we are here, where the boom began, on the dream coast.
It's quieter now, a friend says. We're walking along San Francisco Bay, in the revamped Crissy Field. For years, this turn-of-the-Twentieth-Century airfield, scenically located under the wing of the Golden Gate Bridge, had been deteriorating in the less and less utilized historic Army post, the Presidio. Restored largely by a donation from the Haas family, whose fortune began when paterfamilias Levi Strauss sold denim to the original gold rush miners, Crissy Field is the best gift San Francisco gave itself in the Nineties. Gone are a hundred acres of military asphalt and chain-link fence, replaced by a paradise of cypress, hillocks and undulating dunes, a 28-acre salt grass meadow, and a tidal marsh that flows again for the first time in a century.
Curmudgeons say Crissy Field has been sterilized, but curmudgeons see dimly. The reinvigorated waterfront is lovely.
Here we are, blowing off a morning's work to walk the shoreline promenade in the company of runners, bicyclers, crab fishermen, windsurfers, dog-walkers and mothers carting toddlers to the sandy shore. The restoration has invited the whole town to the water, which is a good thing. According to the last Census, 239,233 San Franciscans are Asian; and 109,519, Latino — the two groups accounting for approximately half the city's population. But until lately, the Marina district bordering Crissy Field acted as a Caucasian moat, keeping the rest of the city from the Bay.
The walk along Crissy Field is a three-mile round-trip, to Civil War-era Fort Point at the base of the Bridge and back. No crowds, no hassle. Even on weekends space abounds. Halfway out is The Warming Hut, formerly for pilots landing at the field and now a gift shop/snack bar with a menu crafted by famed Chez Panisse chef Alice Waters. The fare includes shade-grown organic coffee, panini with roasted turkey and havarti on artisan bread, and, for the kids, organic peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches with fresh-pressed apple juice and carrot sticks for under five dollars.
We stop for tea on what happens to be a stunning day: brilliant sky, runnels of swift fog, white boats on the water, views of the undulant Marin headlands, Alcatraz, Angel Island, and to the east San Francisco, the most European of American cities, rising up in its soft whites.
The lifting of barriers that brought locals to the bay has worked in the opposite direction as well. Across town in the Latin-flavored Mission district, one of the many brightly colored, primitive murals along Balmy Alley reads, "Culture contains the seed of resistance that blossoms into the flower of Liberation." The statement strikes a plaintive note.
Culture. Resistance. Liberation. Nowhere in San Francisco
did the technology boom have greater impact than in the Mission. It was
a nexus for the kids who
came west, lured by the promise of making millions before turning thirty or
ever having to don a suit. Their brash vitality, new cars, and ready cash choked
the streets and jacked up the rents, displacing Latino families, who in an
earlier generation replaced the District's Irish.
My husband, Tom Jenks, and I used to take our kids to the Mission, seeking a fix of Mitchell's ice cream or lunch at La Tacqueria, where for thirty years they've been turning out burritos that are a world complete — the envelope and the letter. But during the high point of the boom parking was too much of a hassle and we stayed away.
Now we're back. On this night Tom and I are set to dine at one of the new places, Alma. We're early, so we stroll down Valencia St. and veer into some of the shops: to Dema, with its funky, gamine-cut clothes, then Laku, land of elfin velvet slippers and whimsical hats. Down the block, Good Vibrations, a funky, worker-owned cooperative currently celebrating "twenty-five years of pleasure" sells sex toys and books for all erotic predilections. It's date night, and the store is packed, the friendly, flirtatious clerks wrapping the gadgets in brown paper sacks as though they were meat and fruit.
Out on the sidewalk, cool air is coming up Valencia, as it does most evenings with the marine layer and sunset. There aren't many people passing by, and clearly the throngs of dot-commers are gone, leaving the neighborhood to the bohemians — students, artists, and musicians — to the working-class San Franciscans who hung on, and to the Hispanic families who, thanks to falling rents, are beginning to come back.
We arrive at Alma. A place called soul better have some and, blissfully it does. Chef Johnny Alamilla has taken a modest corner of Valencia and turned it into a must-visit Latin infusion joint. We sip our Micholada (a Mexican Bloody Mary) and Tequila Royales, dine on wild striped bass ceviche, white corn and roast garlic flan, churrasco-style pork chops, warm banana bread pudding — comfort food with an exotic twist, and delicious. We leave prepared to come back, grateful that the boom seeded places like Alma, and that the best of the new survived the bust.
The soul of the city has quietly settled back into the neighborhoods, while downtown San Francisco, with its grim, gutted retail space and shameful, bus station-like revamp of Union Square is a stark reminder of what went wrong. Too much, too fast, with little foresight. If Grant Street, with its empty facades and litter, looks like a rented hall the morning after a terrific party, that's exactly what it is.
What thrives downtown exists in the cracks, and you have to know the map. On Claude Lane, an alley near Grant, between Sutter and Bush, Diana Slavin, quietly produces a stunning line of impeccably tailored clothes for women. On Sutter Street, and in its satellite storefront on Maiden Lane, deVera sells jewel-like treasures, objet and gifts. At Bix, tucked in an alley on Gold St., there's one of the best bars and menus in town. The waiters and staff with their formal attentiveness and wry, self-parodying hauteur seem to be, like the high-ceilinged, dusky, extravagant place, throw-backs to the 1930s and '40s, and Bix, once merely hip and happening, has become a San Francisco institution much like the old Trader Vic's.
Downtown, as the first to reap the boom and to suffer the aftermath, will recover slowly, while elsewhere in the city, the return to liveliness has been swift. In China Basin, once a no-man's land, the new PacBell ballpark is an instant hit. There at McCovey Cove, where baseball fans fight in dinghies in the drink over Barry Bonds' out-of-the-park homeruns, the Giant's ballpark has a viewing area behind right-field where anyone can come for free and watch three innings of any game, including the World Series. This gesture of largess sprang from Giants-owner Peter Magowan's recollection of a Norman Rockwell painting of a pitcher as seen through the knothole of a fence, and speaks of how this non-restrictive city holds onto its romantic American notions.
"Our indulgences have been scaled back, humbled," says Megan Ray, who turned the bust into an opportunity. Laid off in October 2001, the former director of business development for Excite@home decided to pursue a dream of making small, fanciful Parisian cakes. The result is Miette, French for crumb or morsel, and that's all you'll have after diving into her all-organic chocolate crème fraiche cake, or her gingerbread, or her Parisian macaroons, all of which she sells at the farmer's market at Ferry Building Plaza. She works 10-hour days, six days a week, the same grueling schedule as in her dot-com career, only now the money is modest and the real reward comes from fulfilling the dream and the heart's desire.
It's Columbus Day weekend and the hotel is full. As we spread out in our newly renovated suite — all chocolate velvet, toile and cream — a waiter arrives with a tray of biscotti and tea. From our eighth-floor window, we can see a northeast panorama, across Huntington Park and Nob Hill to Chinatown and then the Bay, where pleasure boats are thickly gathered, jockeying to see the Blue Angels air show. On cue, the jets roar over, shaking the bones of Collis Huntington's original brick wall, while over the Bay the fog pulls back to the touchstone bridge.
Downstairs, at the Nob Hill Spa the eternity pool and rejuvenating services offer tranquil pampering, but it is too gorgeous to be inside.
Since it's Columbus Day, we walk to North Beach, the Italian district. Here brash, non-sensical juxtapositions abound: in a two-block radius from the corner of Columbus and Broadway there are spicy sex shows, Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights bookstore, Molinari's Italian Delicatessen, and Chinatown's Imperial Tea Court.
On this morning, North Beach is in the throes of preparing for its annual Italian Heritage Festival. We walk up Columbus Street where waiters are putting tables out on the sidewalks. At Mario Bohemian Cigar Store Café there's a queue for coffee; we keep on, crossing into Washington Square. In the parking lot by Sts. Peter and Paul Church, booths are being set up, the grills already firing. Everyone is Asian — the cooks and table-setters and balloon makers. For the moment, in the Italian heart and soul of the city, there's not an Italian in sight.
What's the new authentic? Surely it has to do with a blurring of distinctions, and a desire, more keen than ever, for home and place. The neighborhood Chinese kids celebrate the Italian explorer as naturally as they walk into the shop next door. The barriers, at least at this hour, scarcely exist. Everything-new, everything-now having become — by grace and a good dose of carpe diem — everything for everyone.
On another day I'll go to Glide Memorial, as pilgrim to mount, to hear one of Rev. Cecil William's gospel-fueled sermons. Or I'll go to the Italian Athletic Club in North Beach for a bit of tango or catch the Wurlitzer show before seeing a flick at the Castro, or meet friends at Zuni Café, as one might pull up at the general store, for gossip and some of Judy Roger's timeless Mediterranean cooking.
I'll shop for antique French ribbon and LeClerc cosmetics at Bell'occhio, eat tapas at Pascal Rigo's ever-popular Chez Nous, buy artisanal bread around the corner at his boulangerie, and know I've been to the Paris that no longer exists.
And if I want to be reminded of San Francisco's kitschy past, I'll visit the Greco-Roman Columbarium, the repository of urns and ashes dating back to the late 1800's, where each niche is a story, and where the caretaker-shepherd Emmitt Watson, hired some sixteen years ago to do a quick clean-up and paint, presides seven days a week, beginning each day by throwing open the doors and calling into void, "Good morning, y'all!"
Diversity is here for the choosing.
I'll watch the hang gliders diving off the cliffs at Fort Funston, stop for a brunch of polenta and eggs at Rose's; and still have time to catch a matinee performance of Word for Word, a local theatre group that brings wit and resonance to short stories by writers such as Alice Munro or Tobias Wolff.
I can reap this city's abundance or leave it, traveling to the headlands across the Golden Gate Bridge, which for me and many locals, is the beginning and end of the journey; that bridge — that wing of daring and possibility — which lifted my heart the first time I went over, and every time since.
You see, the girl with the boxes dug in, got married,
had babies, stopped moving. It was the city that didn't stay put.
It should be clear by now that holding San Francisco to one definition is the work of pinning a spirit to the wall with your thumb. Its soul is elusive. Even the weather cannot agree. If it's sunny in Noe Valley, then everything from the Avenues to Jordan Park is under a blanket of fog. Short sleeves on one side of town, a down parka on the other. A rose that blooms in Potrero Hill, molds on Lake Street.
San Francisco has had incredible luck (two gold rushes) and wretched luck (earthquakes and city-leveling fires), but the city's essential character was forged long ago in the first gold rush of 1848. That year, the population of the former "Yerba Buena" ("good herb") encampment went from 2000 in February to 20,000 by August. It was a city of tents and shanties, described in a 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, as "the most extreme of all democracies … never before nor since in America was there a like test of self-development. Unusual courage and self-reliance were necessary for success." In those early days, gambling was the central passion.
So the die was cast. San Francisco, forty-seven square miles of beauty and pluck, waits for her next beau.

Great house! Great location! Great time! The house was as nice as described in the listing. We really loved the bedrooms/bathrooms being on either side of the house so there was plenty of privacy for all.
We used all the amenities especially the pool, barbecue, bikes, beach chairs and sand toys! Everything was at our finger tips! The welcome bowl of fruit on the table upon arrival made us feel very welcome.
Gene was great! Answered any questions we had and was very helpful!
We hope to stay here again soon and would definitely recommend the property to friends and relatives.
Thanks again!

Great house for family get-together, looks just like the pictures. Everything was spotless and in new condition. The beds were comfy, nice showers, and all the kitchen/bath/pool/beach supplies we needed were provided. The pool and outside space were private, and a lovely place sit in the sun.

Dave Browning, Libertarian candidate for Attorney General asks - Debate? What Debate?
Ed Martin, Republican candidate for Attorney General and perhaps the first Missouri lawyer to actually catch an ambulance, can't seem to decide if he wants to debate his opponents.
In a letter dated August 14th, the Missouri Bar Association invited the three candidates for a debate Oct. 17th, coinciding with the Bar Association's Annual Meeting in St. Louis. Both the Libertarian and Democratic candidates have agreed to appear. Friday, the agenda for the meeting was released and no debate is yet scheduled because Republican, Ed Martin, cannot decide if he wants a debate before the public, the press and members of the Missouri Bar. Over 60% of the Missouri Bar consists of solo and small firm lawyers representing real people with real problems on main street. For all his bragging and criticism of his Democratic rival, Martin who drives around in the Martin mobile, an ambulance, to draw attention to himself, is nowhere to be found at this one forum allowing all points of view.
Dave Browning, the Libertarian candidate who has been a solo practitioner for 37 years, and has more trial and prosecution experience than his rivals, advises Ed Martin to overcome his fears and bring his cause to his fellows. Browning said, "Ed, I learned a long time ago that when you are in a pool with a shark, it is best to bite back. If you are big enough and bad enough to play in this league, you should come on down and show us what you've got."

Everyone loves to hate riding the bus — passengers complain about cleanliness, overcrowding, timeliness and inefficiency. In a piece for Salon.com, writer Will Doig says that not liking the bus is "practically an American pastime," but argues that buses are key to improving mass transit. Doig thinks that rather than spending money on expensive new systems like light rail or streetcars, cities should focus on making buses better.
"I think when people say that they don't like the bus," he tells NPR's Neal Conan, "what they're really saying is that they like the train better than the bus. And there are a lot of really good reasons for that."

The St James is a beautiful theatre. I've seen many shows there, from Sleeping Beauty On Ice, to illusionists, to comedy shows.
Staff are always very helpful and the atmosphere is great :)
Brillant, lovely and very interesting architecture, comfortable, friendly staff, good clean amenities.
I went to see Mamma Mia as a last minute plan while I was on business in Wellington. All the staff were incredibly friendly & hospitable, which is something I find very welcoming when going to an event where there is a lot of waiting to enter & intermissions in a social event, but going alone, it's nice to be...
Just seen Mama Mia at this venue - great show! I had seen this a few years ago in Melbourne, and this Wellington production was just as good. The set was fantastic, as was the singing. Well done Welly!
Some great singers, some not. Kids were amazing and the mother abyss was outstanding. She stole the show by far. The backdrops were outstanding and the orchestra deserved big applause.
Beautiful, well proportioned traditional theatre. Generous public areas. A pleasure to go to, and well located with such a variety of restaurants and bars near by.
Went to my first show here recently and what a delight! The interior is a treat for the eyes and adds to the enjoyment of the evening. I found the seating comfortable and easily accessed, and the ushers very helpful. Will definitely go there again.
Worth a visit just to see the interior alone. Cherubs, roses, ribbons, drapery, chandeliers, statuary - all a symphony in cream and gold. My only issue with the theatre was that the seating was very uncomfortable, I was in mild discomfort within about 45 minutes and sad that this marred my enjoyment of the performance somewhat. The foyer area looks...

Forwards in motion
Updated: November 13, 2004, 12:51 PM ETESPN.com
If there's one position among our preseason awards not dominated by seniors, this is it.Three juniors and a sophomore help comprise the list. Kansas State's Kendra Wecker, one of two repeat selections, is the lone senior who made the cut. A look at the nation's top five power forwards (listed alphabetically, with 2003-04 stats):
Tiffany Jackson, Texas, 6-3, sophomore
"She proved she was a star last season and only continues to get better. Extremely versatile, she has really nice post-up moves and is a tenacious rebounder." -- Nancy Lieberman
"She was the top scorer for multi-threat Texas last year and has added a more consistent mid-range jumper."
-- Mechelle Voepel
Khara Smith, DePaul, 6-2, junior
"She's great in the half court, can use both hands and is very fundamental. More importantly, she's a great percentage shooter who just doesn't take bad shots." -- Lieberman
"Powerful player who had double-doubles in 21 of 30 games last year and has made DePaul the top team in C-USA this season." -- Voepel
Barb Turner, Connecticut, 6-0, junior
"She can rebound, run the floor, handle the ball and go inside or outside on you. But her best trait might be her competitiveness." -- Lieberman
"Like Wecker, Turner plays bigger than she is. She has a nice shooting touch and is very adept on the boards. This year, she becomes UConn's lead player." -- Voepel

Washington, D.C. – An investigative report released today by 11 members of Congress provides some of the most detailed evidence to date that electronic cigarettes manufacturers are using the same slick marketing tactics long used to market regular cigarettes to kids. These tactics include TV and radio ads that reach youth audiences; sponsorships and free samples at youth-oriented events such as auto races and music festivals; celebrity spokespeople who depict e-cigarette smoking as glamorous; and sweet, kid-friendly flavors with names like Cherry Crush, Chocolate Treat, Peachy Keen and Grape Mint. The report finds that many e-cigarette companies also use social media to promote their products and have widely varying policies regarding sales to minors, with one company reporting that that it does not have any policy barring sales to minors.
WASHINGTON, DC – E-cigarettes, and liquid refill containers featuring bright colors, sweet-smelling flavors and dangerous doses of nicotine, are generating rising numbers of emergency calls to poison control centers around the nation, according to a study published today by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The study demonstrates the urgent need for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to assert authority over e-Cigarettes and other tobacco products.
WASHINGTON, DC — Thirty-three leading public health and medical organizations are urging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make it a priority to regulate how cigarettes are manufactured and stop tobacco industry practices that have made cigarettes even more deadly and addictive than they were 50 years ago.
In a letter sent this week to Mitchell Zeller, Director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, the health groups urged the FDA to take action in response to the new Surgeon General's Report, The Health Consequences of Smoking — 50 Years of Progress, released in January.
Across the United States, poison control centers are reporting a soaring number of accidental poisonings related to the nicotine liquid used in electronic cigarettes. These reports have spurred a growing call for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to finally regulate these products, including from newspaper editorials and U.S. senators.
WASHINGTON, DC — A coalition of international public health organizations today called on Philip Morris International (PMI) to end a global marketing campaign for its best-selling Marlboro cigarettes that has been found by a German court to target youth and has generated similar complaints in other countries. The organizations issued a new report detailing how the "Be Marlboro" campaign, which has spread to more than 50 countries, uses themes and images that appeal to youth.
Manufacturers of electronic cigarettes have repeatedly claimed they don't market to kids. But their actions tell a different story.
In the latest example, Lorillard Inc. has placed an ad for its best-selling blu eCigs in the just-published swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated, no doubt one of the favorite magazines of teenage boys. The ad features the blu logo front and center on the skimpy bikini bottom of a shapely model. You can even zoom in on it on the online version of the ad.
Indonesia and Africa are among Big Tobacco's top targets as the industry increasingly targets low- and middle-income countries in its insatiable quest for profit, no matter the cost in lives and health.
Recent news stories document both the enormous challenges posed by the tobacco epidemic in these countries and regions – and the growing call for strong action to rein in the tobacco industry and save lives.
WASHINGTON, DC – Fifty years after the first Surgeon General's report on smoking and health, the new Surgeon General's report released today shows that cigarette smoking is even more hazardous than previously thought. This report documents that smoking causes even more diseases, kills even more people and costs the nation even more in medical bills and other economic losses – by a wide margin – than has previously been reported. There are three clear conclusions to be drawn from this groundbreaking report ...
WASHINGTON, DC – As the nation marks the 50th anniversary of the first Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health, the major cigarette companies are nearing the day when they must finally come clean to the American people and end decades of deception that have resulted in the addiction, illness and death of millions.
Today, the U.S. Department of Justice and lawyers for the tobacco companies told a federal court that they have reached agreement on the details of how they would implement the "corrective statements" ordered by U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler in 2006, when she found the companies guilty of violating civil racketeering laws and lying to the public about the dangers of smoking and their marketing to children.
WASHINGTON, DC – The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids strongly supports legislation introduced in the New York City Council to include electronic cigarettes in the city's clean indoor air law.
This legislation will further the fundamental purpose of the law – to protect everyone's right to breathe clean, healthy air in workplaces and public places. It will protect non-users from possible health risks posed by e-cigarette emissions. E-cigarettes currently are unregulated, and there has been very limited research about their health consequences either for users or non-users exposed to their emissions.
WASHINGTON, DC – The 2012 National Youth Tobacco Survey released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that declines in youth cigarette smoking are being partially offset by the growing popularity of other tobacco products, including cigars, electronic cigarettes and hookahs. Among all high school boys, the cigar smoking rate now equals, and even slightly exceeds, the cigarette smoking rate: 16.7 percent for cigars compared to 16.3 percent for cigarettes in 2012. There has been a large increase in cigar smoking among African-American high school students since 2009; in 2012, 16.7 percent of African-American high school students smoked cigars, while 9.6 percent smoked cigarettes.
How does the Indonesian tobacco company Djarum celebrate the country's National Health Day? It places a giant front-page ad for one of its cigarettes in a national newspaper. Then that newspaper happens to make its way onto every seat at the launch event for the Ministry of Health's National Health Day event.
That's how bad things are in Indonesia, where tobacco companies have near-free rein to promote and sell their deadly products and newspapers shirk their responsibility to readers by running those ads.
Washington, D.C. – Manufacturers of electronic cigarettes say they want to be part of the solution to the tobacco problem, but increasingly they're behaving just like tobacco companies always have. They're following Big Tobacco's playbook by marketing their products in ways that appeal to kids, dismissing new research showing a sharp spike in youth use of e-cigarettes and fighting effective regulation to protect public health. These actions underscore why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must act quickly to regulate e-cigarettes to protect kids and public health and why the states should include e-cigarettes in their laws regulating tobacco products.
WASHINGTON, DC – More than 40 percent of U.S. youth (grades 6-12) who currently smoke reported using flavored little cigars or flavored cigarettes, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and published today in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
Tobacco companies claim they don't market to kids. But a new study conducted in six low- and middle-income countries provides fresh evidence that tobacco marketing and branding are highly effective at reaching kids.
In the six countries studied – Brazil, China, India, Nigeria, Pakistan and Russia – more than two-thirds of five- and six-year-olds surveyed were able to identify at least one cigarette logo. In China, where smoking rates are among the highest in the world, an alarming 86 percent of children surveyed could identify at least one logo.
The CDC recently reported that rates of electronic cigarette use among U.S. youth more than doubled from 2011 to 2012, when 10 percent of high school students reported ever having used e-cigarettes.
These numbers are troubling but not surprising. There has been an explosion in e-cigarette marketing in recent years, and e-cigarette manufacturers are using the same slick tactics long used to market regular cigarettes to kids.
A growing chorus of elected officials at the state and federal level — 40 state attorneys general and a group of 10 U.S. senators and two U.S. House members — are demanding strong action to stop the marketing and sale of electronic cigarettes to kids.
The attorneys general wrote to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg Tuesday, urging the FDA to swiftly regulate the e-cigarette industry and warning that e-cigarette manufacturers are tempting kids with sweet flavors, cartoon images and television advertising portraying e-cigarette use as attractive — in much the same way cigarette companies targeted children for decades.
Restrictions in Canada keep glamorous tobacco ads out of magazines. But that doesn't keep them from coming in from the U.S.
Health advocates in Canada are outraged that glossy, full-page ads for Camel cigarettes have made their way to Canadian youths' backpacks and bed stands inside recent issues of several American magazines – including Sports Illustrated, People, Glamour, and Entertainment Weekly, among others.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Providing the first national data on youth use of electronic cigarettes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today reported that the percentage of U.S. middle and high school students who used e-cigarette more than doubled from 2011 to 2012. According to results from the National Youth Tobacco Survey, the percentage of high school students who reported ever using e-cigarettes jumped from 4.7 percent in 2011 to 10 percent in 2012, while the percentage using e-cigarettes in the past 30 days rose from 1.5 percent to 2.8 percent. Use also doubled among middle school students. The CDC estimated that 1.78 million U.S. youth had ever used e-cigarettes as of 2012.
As smoking declines in many developed nations, the tobacco industry is increasingly targeting low- and middle-income countries. The industry's latest target: Myanmar.
As Myanmar emerges from decades of isolation and military rule and international sanctions are lifted, the Associated Press details how tobacco companies – including multinational giants British American Tobacco and Japan Tobacco – are moving in as quickly as possible. And they're trying to do it under the radar.
Tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds claims it doesn't market cigarettes to kids. But the company's actions continue to show otherwise.
The August 2013 issue of Glamour magazine features the world's most popular boy band, One Direction, on the cover. Inside the magazine, and placed just before the story and photos on the band, there's a huge, three-page spread of ads for R.J. Reynolds' Camel cigarettes.
WASHINGTON, DC – The Food and Drug Administration's strong scientific conclusions today regarding the harmful impact of menthol cigarettes on the nation's health should prompt the FDA to move as quickly as possible to ban menthol cigarettes in the United States.
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration made history today. The federal agency issued an order permitting the marketing of two new cigarette products, denied four requests to market new tobacco products, and announced that tobacco companies had withdrawn requests to market 136 other tobacco products. It is the first time any federal agency has ever denied permission to a tobacco company to market a new or modified tobacco product because of the threat it poses to public health.
Showing that it's possible to tune tobacco out of the music industry, this year's Java Rockin'land music festival in Jakarta, Indonesia, will take place without one of its most infamous acts – the tobacco industry. Java Rockin'land – like many music festivals in Indonesia – has traditionally been sponsored by tobacco companies trying to lure a new generation of smokers. The concert attracts young music fans from across the country – but this year, the tobacco industry won't be on stage.
The death and disease caused by cigarettes is nothing to celebrate. But that's not stopping R.J. Reynolds from celebrating the 100th birthday of its Camel cigarettes this year. Their Camel web site touts "A Century of Camel" and urges visitors to "Celebrate the original that sparked a tradition."

Following are two characteristics of public goods:-
• Non-Rival
Public good is non-rival. Non-Rival characteristic public good implies that consumption by one individual does not rule out the chance of consumption by the other individuals. For example radio station can be tuned by many individuals simultaneously.
• Non-Exclusion
Principle of exclusion is not applicable in the public goods. Individual who is refusing to use it cannot be excluded from it. For example, presence of army provides the protection from external aggression. No person can be excluded from enjoying the protection of army.
Parks, space exploration and police Service are public goods. These can be enjoyed by all simultaneously. It is difficult to imagine such situation where police protection is provided to certain section of society. On other hand, welfare payments to the poor, production of energy etc. benefits are available to limited number of people. Energy is provided only to those who pay for it. Hence, these are not public goods.

Witnesses: Slain Ark. officer rescued partner
30-year-old officer Jonathan Schmidt was killed in the shooting about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday night
Associated Press
TRUMANN, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas couple says a police officer killed during a late night traffic stop dragged a wounded comrade to safety despite having been shot in the neck himself.
Keith Elumbaugh (EL'-uhm-bow) says the Trumann officers stopped his vehicle shortly before midnight Tuesday while he and his girlfriend were giving the shooting suspect and the suspect's female friend a ride home.
Elumbaugh and girlfriend April Swanner told The Associated Press on Wednesday that police cuffed him and the suspect's friend because of non-related warrants and that they were standing next to his car when the suspect opened fire from the back seat.
The couple says 30-year-old Officer Jonathan Schmidt was shot in the neck but managed to drag his wounded partner to safety before the suspect shot Schmidt several more times.

Deer fencing bought on line?
I have finally had it with the deer eating my garden so I plan to do a deer fence around it. I could use any advice you can give. I looked at Home Depot for the green poultry fence - 5 feet, but they were out. Since then I have found some deer fencing kits online. There is one at Benner's that is $280 for the 100 feet that I need - -a heavy duty fencing. This particular garden is next to my house and I don't think the deer will jump even a short fence which was why I considered the 5 feet wire fence.
Have any of you used an online deer fencing -- Benner's or any other? What do you recommend for my situation.
Thanks so much.
Not trying to discourage you, but I have deer problems as well and the deer do not hesitate to jump over my 4 foot fence and I don't think that a five foot fence would be very effective at keeping the deer out. Everything that I have read about fencing suggests an 8 foot fence to keep out deer.
If you have a Tractor Supply store near you it would be a lot less expensive.
Here is a link that might be useful: tractor supply
Hello I have built my own deer fence recently, after many years of deer damage I had enough. I bought a kit from Deerbusters.com. They recommended at least 7.5' tall so that it what I bought. The material I ordered was much stronger than the material I could find locally and I am very happy with the results. My wife and I put it up in an afternoon. It is so nice to have a garden again, there is nothing worse than putting all my time into growing vegetables just to feed the deer.
