New Study Encourages Parents NOT to Talk About Sex With Their Teen Daughters
Week after week, we tune in as the stars of MTV's Teen Mom struggle with the challenges of becoming parents at the tender age of 16.
Although critics claim the show glamorizes and encourages teen pregnancy — we're looking at you, Sarah Palin! — the truth is that teen pregnancy rates have declined in recent years. Whether or not that can be attributed to shows like Teen Mom, better sex education, or easier access to contraceptives, it's safe to say we're doing something right.
But is there an even better approach?
According to an article published in Psychology Today, teens who talk about sex with their parents are surprisingly more likely to become pregnant than teens who don't talk about sex.
So, what sorts of things should parents be discussing with their kids? Basically the opposite of sex — school.
In a study done at the University of Texas at El Paso, Alejandra Diaz analyzed the kind of messages parents gave their young, high-risk teens before going on dates.
For girls who were successful at not getting pregnant, the research found that "mothers told their daughters that they fully expected them to finish school."
"Not a word about sex," the study continues. "Instead, they expressed their hope that their children would make great futures for themselves. The daughters understood this was a coded, culturally appropriate message that meant 'Don't have a child' until you can support it yourself."
What do you think of this approach? Do you think parents should talk to their teens about sex? Or is implying that you want your daughter to succeed in school and beyond enough?

WINFIELD, Kan. (AP) _ Relatives of a slain Cowley College student hugged and cried yesterday as images of the crime scene were shown to jurors.
Twenty-five-year-old Justin Thurber of Arkansas City is accused of kidnapping 19-year-old Jodi Sanderholm in January 2007 as she arrived home from a college dance team practice.
Thurber could be sentenced to death if the jury in Cowley County District Court convicts him of capital murder.
The images jurors were shown included videos and photos of the crime scene at the Kaw Valley Wildlife area. Sanderholm's battered body was found there several days after her disappearance.
Prosecutors say she had been raped and that the images show that she was "posed'' in a sexually suggestive position.
Tuesday, prosecutors plan to present DNA evidence. They say they could rest their case by tomorrow.

"We ordered these cards for our fall wedding and we couldn't be happier!! Customer service was very helpful and answered all my questions and concerns!! Invitations arrived earlier then expected. Extremely pleased :) We ordered the rose gold foil colour and it is very whimsical!"
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"I couldn't be happier with our invitations (and inserts/thank you cards). We requested the font to be in purple to match our colors, and it looks great. Something I didn't even think of was to make the back pattern purple as well, which they did on their own. Great quality and fast shipping. I can't wait to send these out!"
"We loved these invitations. The card was nice thick quality but didn't go over the weight to use a normal stamp (Canadian stamp). The picture was excellent quality. The editor did a great job to unify the font (although did make a grammatical error but we caught it on review)."

DESTIN — For Carly Nunnelee, Destin Founder's Day isn't just a time to see old friends and family. It's a time to share their family's history as one of the city's founding families with her 8-year-old daughter, Mariana.
"It keeps us in touch with your roots," said Nunnelee, a descendant of the Brunson line. "It reminds you of where you came from."
Descendants of the founding families of Destin reunited at the community center Saturday in honor of Founder's Day.
"It's always important for family to get together and remember their roots," said Richard Lawson, descendant of W.T. Marler.
The Destin History and Fishing Museum and the Old Post Office were free to the public Saturday as well.
The descendants of the founding families are still very much involved in the future of Destin, said Debby Marler, wife of Destin Councilman Cyron Marler. They want the city to continue to be a nice place to live and visit.
"This is just a way for everyone to get together and enjoy the fruits of their labors," Marler said.
The reunion was also a chance for the museum to collect information to create a family tree for the founding families. Worksheets were given out for families to outline their particular branch.
The founders are considered those who came and settled in Destin before 1935: the Brunson, Chambless, Calhoun, Destin, Jones, Kelly, Marler, Maltezo, Melvin, O'Neal, Shirah, Taylor, Walter, Wells and Woodward families.
The families are getting into their fourth and fifth generations, said Claude Newland. As they continue growing and branching out, it's important to record what they can of their lineage.
"We're just trying to wrap our arms a little bit around the founder's tree," Newland said.

The U.S. Chamber's Institute for Legal Reform today released a study on merger-related litigation that concludes plaintiff lawyers take advantage of the court system to extract tens of millions of dollars a year in fees from companies at the expense of shareholders.
A loophole in the federal law designed to cut down on securities class-action abuses allows lawyers to file suits challenging mergers in multiple state and federal courts, the study found, making it impossible for companies to consolidate the litigation in one place and increasing the odds they'll pay the lawyers a fee to go away.
The study calls the litigation a "merger tax" on corporate transactions, since lawyers now file fraud suits challenging 91% of all mergers of public companies valued at over $100 million. Either there's been a vast increase in corporate fraud since 2005 — when only 39% of mergers drew lawsuits — or lawyers are filing more meritless suits. The report concludes:
If the allegations were real, there would be intense law enforcement focus on such a hotbed of fraud—by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, and State Attorneys General. That has not happened. The only plausible explanation for this lawsuit epidemic is abuse of the litigation system by trial lawyers.
Those are harsh words, but the ILR's report compiles some harsh evidence. Lawyers file suits accusing companies of fraud sometimes within hours of a merger announcement, hard to square with good-faith efforts to find a client and fully investigate that client's claims. If the suits survive the defendant's motion to dismiss, they are settled before the allegations ever have a chance to be tested in court. Of all the M&A lawsuits filed in 2010-2011, 67% were settled, 28% were dismissed by the plaintiffs, 4% were dismissed by judges, and zero went to trial. The overwhelming majority of cases were settled within 100 days of filing.
So maybe the shareholder lawyers are very efficient at winning settlements for their clients?
No. The ILR report says 84% of M&A settlements in 2011 were "disclosure only," meaning the best the lawyers could do for their clients was obtain minor wording changes in public filings. Another 11% had minor changes in deal terms, including dropping breakup fees after the deal is all but certain to go through. One Delaware court went as far as to suggest that the largely meaningless tweak has become "particularly convenient way to settle litigation." In any repeated game, the players learn the moves that get each side what it wants.
Unfortunately, that doesn't include the ostensible clients of these lawyers, the shareholders. Only 10 out 202 settlements produced any money for investors, the study found. Shareholders paid the cost of the rest of the litigation, in the form of defense-lawyer fees, delays in closing deals, and the "merger tax": Fees paid to plaintiff lawyers to go away. A Bloomberg story earlier this year found that lawyers won $32.4 million in fees for settling 40 cases that produced no money for their clients.
The most powerful weapon the lawyers use is filing in multiple jurisdictions to take advantage of a loophole in the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act that otherwise sweeps virtually all securities class actions into federal court. That loophole allows state lawsuits over common-law claims such as breach of fiduciary duty or violation of state securities laws, and plaintiff lawyers have exploited it to file multi-jurisdiction suits in 47% of cases, up from 9% in 2005. Since state and federal courts don't consolidate cases, lawyers can use multiple state suits to run up the costs against their targets and threaten to delay mergers and thus hasten a settlement that awards them a fee, the study concludes.
The Chamber is hardly neutral on the subject of trial lawyers — it regularly condemns their tactics. But the Chamber cites a report by the New York Bar Association that attacks M&A tactics in terms nearly as harsh.
Publicly listed companies are often forced to spend resources trying to coordinate and manage duplicative or overlapping securities litigations (with the brunt being borne by current shareholders), while judicial resources are unnecessarily consumed.
One solution would be for Congress to write yet another law restricting trial lawyers from filing shareholder suits in state court. Congress tried with the Public Securities Litigation Reform Act in 1995, then tried again with SLUSA in 1998. But lawyers write the laws, and they are inventive at getting around them.
The New York Bar Association offers another common-sense approach: Let companies contract with their shareholders to restrict litigation to the state of incorporation. That would at least eliminate the tactic of gaming multiple state courts to extract a fee, which of course is paid by the shareholders. Instead most companies would face lawsuits, at most, in Delaware state and federal court. And Delaware judges are increasingly hostile toward hastily filed merger suits.
Plaintiff lawyers may object, but it's hard to see how their clients would be better off without such reforms. Right now, they're paying millions for the privilege of having their attorneys negotiate meaningless changes in deal terms and pick their own pockets in the process.
Note: I am appearing on a panel for the ILR in Washington today, partly at the organization's expense. I'm personally looking forward to hearing Delaware Judge Leo Strine's thoughts on M&A lawsuits. Strine has been hostile to some lawyers but in one egregious case of corporate wrongdoing, he was extraordinarily generous. Lawyers who challenged the disadvantageous terms of Southern Peru's takeover of a Mexican subsidiary (Southern Peru vastly overpaid, siphoning money away from its shareholders) were awarded $285 million in fees for recovering $2 billion in damages for shareholders.

Upstate New York At-a-Glance
A Brain Drain or an Insufficient Brain Gain?
|Number 2, August 2007
|JEL classification: R23, J10
Author: Richard Deitz
Upstate New York's weak population and labor force growth in recent years has raised concerns about a loss of educated workers. Indeed, the region has seen a net outflow of college-educated people. This issue of Upstate New York At-a-Glance finds that this net outflow reflects a low rate of in-migration to the region, rather than an unusually high rate of out-migration.

For extra protection against rainwater, Beacon Fireplaces also make their own cowl. The cowl provides a shield from the rain while allowing smoke to flow out the chimney at the same time, so you don't have to close your chimney (using a Beacon Chimney Damper of course) on those cold rainy nights when you need your warm, crackling fire the most.
The Beacon chimney cowl is fitted to the top of your chimney on a pivot joint that allows the cowl to turn with the wind. The stylized fin directs the cowls weather shield into the wind and rain, preventing rainwater from entering you chimney.
Add style and protection to your chimney with an Australian made and owned cowl from Beacon Fireplaces. For more information you can contact Pam or Peter at Beacon Fireplaces on (03) 5983 8314.

YIELD: Serves 6 to 8
If the ham comes with the skin still attached, remove most of it with a sharp knife, leaving a collar of skin around the shank bone and a layer of fat. Trim the fat, leaving a layer about 1/3 inch thick, score the layer remaining into diamonds, and stud the center of each diamond with a clove. Bake the ham on a rack in a roasting pan in a preheated 350°F. oven for 55 minutes.
In a small saucepan heat the jelly over moderate heat, stirring, until it is melted and smooth, remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the mustard. Spoon the glaze over the ham, spreading it evenly, and bake the ham for 30 to 35 minutes more, or until the glaze is brown and bubbly. Transfer the ham to a platter and let it stand for 15 minutes before carving. If planning to make the ham, spinach, and pasta gratin (page 117), reserve 1 pound of the carved ham, covered and chilled.

Delayed Response
I want to go back a ways because it looks like I missed a good discussion while I was on vacation.
I posted on May 2 about the comments of Harry Reid which I viewed as treasonous. Stay Poof then masterfully steered the following posted comments into an indictment of American policy in Iraq, stating the following about Saddam:
when did he try to assassinate the pres? was it before or after we had invaded his country?
Um...before. We only kicked him out of Kuwait in 1991. We didn't invade Iraq until 2003.
Poof then went on to say:
actually, the Iraqi government sent a guy to the US embassy to find out what the Bush admin's response would be if Iraq invaded Kuwait, and was told something to the effect of, "we have no official policy on that" That statement was interpreted to mean that Bush/the US didn't care one way or the other if Iraq invaded Kuwait.
Poofy then quoted the NY Times and New Republic to back up his statement, to which Kevin replied:
schooled. Nice work.
Now, I'm not saying that the Times has ever had a problem with journalistic integrity, but I didn't trust the sources Poof was using. I, like Jack, figured I would have heard more about this if their reporting was accurate. I decided to check it out for myself and I found this now declassified NSC report on the meeting. That's the full text there.
So here's my take on the Glaspie issue:
First- The NY Times and New Republic printed Glaspie's words out of context at a time when the meeting between her and Saddam was considered classified.
Second- NOTHING she stated even implied giving Saddam a "go ahead" to invade Kuwait. Only a madman like Saddam could interpret a statement like "We are neutral in your territorial dispute," to mean, "Go ahead and invade and annex the other guy."

I wonder why you were afraid to quote the actual words.
"On the border question, Saddam referred to the 1961 agreement and a "line of patrol" it had established. The Kuwaitis, he said, had told [Egyptian President Hosni] Mubarak Iraq was 20 kilometers "in front" of this line. The ambassador said that she had served in Kuwait 20 years before; then, as now, we took no position on these Arab affairs."
Seems pretty clear to me. But I guess to people who believe that Valerie Plame was not covert and "enhanced interrogation techniques" aren't torture and that we are making progress in Iraq, it could mean just about anything.
We take no position on the dispute between Russia and Japan over the Kuril Islands. Does that give Russia the go-ahead to march on Tokyo?
BTW, Plame was NOT a covert agent, or Libby would have been charged with outing her. Since she was not covert, outing her was not a crime.
I wasn't afraid to quote anything. That's why I linked to the entire text, Zimzo. Also, I'm not sure what your point is with your selection.
The quote is the one referred to in the Times and New Republic pieces, which comes from the document you linked to. The fact that you didn't realize that shows that you don't have any idea what you're talking about.
Not taking a position on Iraq's and Kuwait's border dispute after Iraq had already crossed into Kuwaiti territory was indeed a signal that U.S. would do nothing to stop Saddam's incursion. Perhaps not being diplomats you guys have trouble understanding diplomatic language.
Yes Plame was covert, which you would know if you had read the news this week:
The reason Fitzgerald didn't prosecute Libby for outting her was that he was unable to gather enough evidence to prove it because of Libby's obstruction of justice. That is why he prosecuted Libby and a jury agreed.
And by the way, the earth revolves around the sun, but I'm sure you guys will deny that as well.
OK, I quoted the abstract of the New Republic article before. I guess now's the appropriate time to link to the entire article:
for the time being, I'll let it speak for itself.
C'mon, Zim, you know better. Read carefully the quote you just posted.
In July of 1990, Iraq had entered Kuwait, according to the Kuwaitis. According to Iraq, this was Iraqi territory. This is called a BORDER DISPUTE.
America didn't get involved until Iraq took over the whole country of Kuwait in August...That's a little more than a border dispute and a completely different issue than Glaspie was addressing when she expressed America's neutrality to Saddam.
Who knew that you would be a proponent of the Neville Chamberlain school of diplomacy. Germany and Czechoslovakia were just having a border dispute, too.
You know where I can get a pair of your freaky conservative glasses? They sound like real trip, man.
Zimzo -- of course the prosecutor said Plame was covert. Otherwise, he would be telling everyone he wasted two years investigating a case that was not a crime. It's a load of B.S. Does he present any proof? No.
I wonder what sits on the border between Iraq and Kuwait?
All of the Kuwati oil fields?
Why would we green light a murderous dictator to take over a huge oil field?
Wrong again, Jack. He submitted a declassified document from the CIA that summarized her employment history as an attachment to his brief.
Hey now, let's not go putting words in my mouth. My point has been that Glaspie didn't say anything to Saddam that could be interpreted as a "green light" to invade Kuwait. I never said she handled the situation well, but she certainly didn't come to any agreement with Saddam that could be compared to Chamberlain's Munich Agreement.
Wrong again, zimzo. Read the links in the article to which you refer. One says, "Fitzgerald has, not surprisingly, adamantly refused to release the actual Referral Memo" upon which his "summary" is based.
BTW, zimzo, you win that award you keep talking about. You know -- for bringing up the National Socialist Party.
It's fair to say that her comment was a tacit endorsement of Saddam's aggression toward Kuwait.
I brought this up in response to the claim that Saddam's invasion of Kuwait proved that he was a volatile leader who posed a threat the the region and global security. The fact is that it's more complicated than that, and using Iraq's invasion of Kuwait as evidence that Saddam was poised to launch an attack on American interests is foolish.
as to, "we didn't invade Iraq until 2003," get a load of this:
Marshmallow is correct on both counts. The dolt from the state department did say something to the effect that we 'would not have a position on the matter.' And, we did send troops into Iraq in 1991.
Hold on now...
It's not fair to state that at all, Poof. Saddam had not yet committed any aggression at the time the meeting took place. I linked to the document in the hopes that you would read it yourselves, but apparently that hasn't happened, so let me point out the parts you are not reading:
Paragraph 27. Saddam tells the Ambassador that the Kuwaitis have agreed to negotiations
Paragraph 28. Saddam states that no military action will be taken for the time being.
Paragraph 29. The Ambassador expresses "delight" that peaceful negotiations will go forward.
Paragraph 30. The Ambassador states the US will remain a neutral party in the border dispute.
Not to mention the initial summary states this:
"Although not explicit, Saddam's message to us seemed to be that he will make a major push to cooperate with Mubarak's diplomacy, but we must to to understand Kuwaiti/UAE "selfishness" is unbearable. Ambassador made clear that we can never excuse settlement of disputes by other than peaceful means."
As for the 1991 "invasion"...
A military invasion involves conquest, and we did no such thing in 1991. Simply having troops in Iraq does not constitute an invasion.
excuse me; aggressive posturing and brinkmanship.
now you want to debate the meaning of the word "invasion"? that's ridiculous.
It's not really debatable.
"in va sion...n. 1. The act of invading, esp. the entrance of an armed force into a territory to conquer."
- The American Heritage College Dictionary, 3d Edition
Okinawa was an invasion. Inchon was an invasion. Gallipoli was a failed invasion. America entered Iraq in 1991 to cut off the retreating Iraqi forces and prevent them from regrouping and counter-attacking. Then we left Iraq. Not an invasion.
What's ridiculous is the idea that any time a soldier steps foot in a country other than his own, it constitutes an invasion.
while you have that dictionary out, you may as well take a look at "conquer"
here I'll do it for you:
since our expressed intent in 2003 was to liberate the Iraqi people, I suppose you could argue that we've never invaded Iraq!
...will you PLEASE make that argument?
And imagine the Quds entering US territory uninvited.
"Tonight, fellow Americans, I regret to inform you that we have been liberated. . ."
Ha ha!
Our intent in 2003 was to remove Saddam Hussein and the WMD. As such, we were trying to conquer him and his government.
BTW, I do find it amusing that so many libs attacked George H. W. Bush for not taking out Hussein in 1991, when he had no U.N. mandate to do so, then attacked George W. Bush for taking out Hussein.
Exactly, Jack. Our intent in 2003 was to conquer Iraq, which was not our intent in 1991.
And as I've said before, I have a problem with the whole "liberation, not occupation" mindset, because we have done both. I see nothing wrong with it, either.

Per Theater Chart: Bikes and Sushi Top List
March 21st, 2012
The Kid with a Bike took top spot on the per theater chart with an average of $15,311 in three theaters, while Jiro Dreams of Sushi was in a virtual tie with an average of $15,202 in six. Gerhard Richter Painting was next with $13,537 in its lone theater. The overall box office leader, 21 Jump Street, was next with an average of $11,632, while last week's winner, Footnote, was right behind with $11,181.
There were a few new limited releases that did quite well, as well as a few that bombed hard. Casa de mi Padre opened in the top ten overall with $2.29 million in 382 theaters for an average of $5,988. Detachment was close behind with an average of $5,370. Payback struggled with an average of $3,614 in three theaters. Likewise, Jeff, Who Lives at Home had a soft opening on the per theater chart with an average of $3,369, but it was playing 254 theaters, which is a lot. Around June finally opened after many, many delays, but it missed the Mendoza Line with an average of just $1,530 in two theaters. The Understudy was even weaker with an average of $1,148, also in two theaters. It was a blockbuster compared to Reuniting the Rubins, which only made $734 in two theaters for an average of just $367. Playback is even worse was just $252 in one theater.
This past week also saw milestones reached for a couple Per Theater Chart alumni:
- Casa de mi Padre opened with more than $2 million and it will likely be at close to $5 million by this time next week.
- Speaking of $4 million, Friends with Kids reached that milestone over the weekend and should have little trouble getting to $5 million by this time next week. However, its per theater average is low and its theater count is high, so it will likely fade quickly after that.
- A Separation got to $5 million, but that's as far as it will go.
- C.S.Strowbridge

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Updated at 8:46 a.m. Pacific on Monday to add comment from JCPenney. Pushing ads into Twitter timelines and Facebook news feeds is so passé. Retailer JCPenney attracted lots of attention during the Super Bowl today when it posted tweets that made it look like either the account had been hacked or the person managing the account had had a few too many drinks during the game: Who kkmew theis was ghiong tob e a baweball ghamle. #lowsscorinh 5_0 — JCPenney (@jcpenney) February 2, 2014 Toughdown Seadawks!!

That's got to be good for something. Then again, it could have been a PR nightmare. JCPenney tried to put on its best face: Oops…Sorry for the typos. We were #TweetingWithMittens.

The morning after the Super Bowl, a JCPenney spokeswoman responded to VentureBeat's request for comment, indicating that the strange tweets were in fact intentional. "This was part of a planned social media stunt that our social team did to promote the Go USA mittens we are carrying (proceeds support the United States Olympic Committee) they were tweeting 'with their Go USA mittens on,'" the spokeswoman wrote in an email.

Google rallies support for free, open Internet
One week before the world's governments meet to discuss the future of the Internet, Google is mobilizing netizens to demand that the Internet remain open and free.
In a post on its Google+ account, the Internet giant warned some governments want to use the meeting of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to increase censorship.
"Pledge your support for the free and open Internet: A free and open world depends on a free and open Internet. Governments alone, working behind closed doors, should not direct its future. The billions of people around the globe who use the Internet should have a voice," it said.
It set up a website (www.google.com/takeaction/) where supporters of the call to keep the Web free and open may enter their email address and location.
Google said the email addresses may be used for sending updates on Internet policy initiatives.
It added it may publish the names given by those who sign up as part of the website and discussion, while the location data may be used to display the "vibrant conversation across the world."
"A free and open world depends on a free and open Internet. And a #freeandopen Internet depends on you," Google said.
The ITU, in an article on its website, said the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) in Dubai from Dec. 3 to 14 seeks to "review the current International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs), which serve as the binding global treaty designed to facilitate international interconnection and interoperability of information and communication services."
It added the conference also aims to ensure their efficiency and widespread public usefulness and availability. — TJD, GMA News

White Nexus 4 and Android 4.3 allegedly coming on June 10
This year we didn't see a new Android version debut at Google I/O 2013, having to live with updates to Maps, Google+ and Hangouts, the new Play Music All Access and the new Play Game Services platforms.
Google went on to show a lot of improvements for developers that didn't require a new version of Android, but despite welcoming the new stuff we at GSMArena HQ were slightly disappointed to not see the next Android release in action. Especially after learning that some devices are already rocking it.
However, version 4.3 (whether it will be called Android Jelly Bean again or Key Lime Pie) might not bee too late to the party . The latest rumors suggest that it will be unveiled on June 10 or in about three weeks time. Sources are pointing out that it will feature Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support, OpenGL for Embedded Systems 3.0 graphics and app data synchronization.
Furthermore the alleged June 10 event might also bring the white Nexus 4, which we've already seen pictured and even previewed on video.
Here's hoping the rumors are true as that would mean we won't have as long as we feared for a new Android release.
White Nexus 4 and Android 4.3 allegedly coming on June 10 - reader comments

Some Wine Will Do the Trick
It takes more than grapes to open a winery — it takes business savvy.
Rick Black, owner of Wildcat Creek Winery in Lafayette, got a leg up on other small businesses when he began utilizing the resources provided by Small Business Development Center (SBDC).
SBDC, supported by the Purdue Center for Regional Development, assists business growth by aiding in the development of business plans and providing information about accounting, business insurance and general legal issues. They offer one-day classes, as well as an Entrepreneurship Academy focused on the details of business startup and operations.
"The classes removed the fear of the unknown for me, lighting the path that I would eventually travel," Black says.
Prior to his winery, Black had never owned a business. "Starting your own business is pretty scary, unless you have someone on your team who has been down that road before," he says. "From idea to implementation, our SBDC director, Susan Davis, was there to help us."

The Vampire Diaries
Claire Holt Says the Dynamic Between Stefan and Rebekah Will Change on The Vampire Diaries
For those of you who hoped Stefan (Paul Wesley) would get over Elena (Nina Dobrev) with Caroline (Candice Accola), we have some bad news: It looks like the younger Salvatore might be rekindling things with Rebekah (Claire Holt) after all.
In a new interview with Alloy Entertainment, Claire spilled some details about Rebekah's little torment fest in Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 10, "After School Special." The Original sis is angry "and looking to take some people down," says Claire. "I think that every time she's burned, she gets a little more stone cold and she definitely wants to enact revenge on — in particular — Stefan, Elena, and Caroline, who she questions at the high school. It was a really fun episode to shoot. There's a lot of torture and manipulation going on — it's going to be a big [episode] for sure!"
Fun to film, but it probably isn't going to be a treat for Bekah's victims. "She has some fun little 'Truth or Dare' games planned for them," teases Claire.
Maybe Stefan's a bit of a masochist, because all the cruel games don't exactly scare him off Rebekah. "I think that the dynamic between them will definitely change – at least after all the torturing," Claire explains. "In ["After School Special"] Rebekah questions Elena and Stefan and this will bring some uncomfortable truths to light."
That's a good point. At this point, whatever Bex has planned is nothing compared to what Stefan's already gone through with Elena...

How Sky News sell-off could come about
While some have said News Corporation's offer to sell Sky News, as part of a deal to allow it to take control of BSkyB, is a non-starter (it loses £30m a year) Robert Peston, the BBC's business editor, has a neat explanation of how this could in fact come to pass.
BSkyB would simply he writes have to guarantee to take output from Sky News for a number of years — probably ten. That way Sky News is far more likely to attract interested buyers, media or otherwise.
"This [selling Sky News] is more easily do-able than I may have initially thought. British Sky Broadcasting would – I am told – simply have to guarantee to buy Sky News's output for a very long time, probably a minimum of 10 years.
"With that guaranteed income stream, which would have to be sufficient to cover Sky News's costs, there would probably be quite a few potential buyers of Sky News, both media industry buyers and financial buyers.
"But there is an important wrinkle here about the timetable for such a disposal or spin-off of Sky News that the culture secretary might demand."

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 the competitor to the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400. Caution there are some versions with reduced momry bus available.

A list of almost all versions of Tamagotchi (Japanese and non-Japanese) models is on this web page: http://en.wikipedia....gotchi_releases
i was just wondering is there different types of tamagotchi cause i thought it was a tamagotchi and if there is more can you get them in new zealand?
Outside of Japan, only Connection (or Connexion) models are sold. V4 is the current model, and should be in stores now, but you might be able to find a few V3 left in some shops.
In Japan, the TamaSchool is the current model, but many stores have UraTamas still in stock, and some have a few EnTamas available. You can see Japanese models on Bandai's main Tamagotchi Product Page, here: http://tamagotch.cha...oods/index.html

Thanks for letting us know - and thanks for notifying me about it, Binary!
I've got a picture. :B
Posted 17 April 2007 - 09:26 PM ( #107 )
The V4 uses a different password system than is used in the EnTama (and UraTama).
why does it not work on v4???

The EnTama is a Japanese model - all the menus on it's screen appear in Japanese, and its instruction manual is written in Japanese. It's available in shops only in Japan. You can sometimes order them off the internet from some sites such as YesAsia or Jason's Shop on ebay.
where can you find entamas? do u have to go all the way to japan? or do they sell them in regualr stores here in the US?
Posted 23 April 2007 - 04:58 AM ( #113 )
Please provide your login password from your EnTama, and the logout password you generated to get the drum. Then I'll try to figure out where you made a mistake. It could be something simple - such as a miscalculation of the checksum.
yes entama i got it in japan myself... i got the intelligence 2 work but the money and drums (which r the only other ones i've done) dont work!!!!

Hi! My name is Lizzie, but on ff.net people call me ChibiMoon. (My sister came up with that one. Ha. Ha. Ha.) I've been writing on Fanfiction.Net for about seven years (wow, I'm old), with fifteen stories completed, and three stories in-progress. Never-Ending Love I am actually considering updating. It may not be very good, but then again, I am never too sure if *anything* I write is that good, so...I am thinking it will be cute and sweet though. Not too long, either. I was almost done, anyway, it only had about four or five more short-ish chapters to go. Also, I have NOT given up on Compromise! I really love that story--I have been busy and injured my hand, and so I have been toying in my head what I want to do with it--I think it is going to have about five more chapters, but I had some ideas that would have made it way longer--so I've decided to write it how I originally planned and then use the other new ideas for a sequel that is in the same series as Compromise. Wish me luck!

Oregon lane splitting bill SB 541
Here is a link to the text of the bill. Please take the time to get in touch with your senator and ask them to support this.
Here is a link to look up your elected officials.
Please pass this to other motorcycle lists that you are on even if you don't foresee yourself splitting lanes.
I like it,
tho I don't live inna big city and rarely get trapped inna true gridlock type mess,,there are times when traffic is just stupidly slow,(like Aquanout), and in those cases the median shoulder and outside shoulder should be open to bikes and scooters,:clap,, and the 20 mph is right on too,,this is the same speed they allow us to drive if we are hitting children in skool zones, so it makes sense.
I also think that all that terrific dirt track right up the middle of most freeways ought to be open to bikes and 4 wheelers,,at a reduced speed limit, of course.
we could add our own whoops and tabletops as needed..public roads,,the porsche and ferrari guys get the freeway, nobody but the lawnmower uses the median! that's just wrong!:lol3
I think you're on to something there. I have often looked with desire on the nice wide grassy median with roost in my heart....
This would be sweet....contacted my senator(s). :wink:
This could really shorten the 74 mile RT every day.
Maybe handy sometimes, but...

One of my workmates once was talking about how he would use his method to deal with a motorcycle trying to get between lanes.
I told him, "I hope that door funnels that motorcycle right onto your lap."
He had no more to say.
This is a California export I can support!
I think we should be able to ride in the bike lane or on bike trails.
Yup....totally can see myself splitting lanes, balancing that white line clear down into town, through town and out of town ...
even in the bike lane on the road, however being a bicyclist as well I do not think that separate bicycle paths should be shared with anything "motor"....pretty crowded already!
The whole reason I started riding was to split lanes (was living in California at the time). It's BS that it isn't allowed elsewhere.
I'm astonished to find this bill in existence. I've been bugging the piss out of my Oregon reps for several months about getting a bill submitted. I finally got somebody willing to do it -- Senator Brian Boquist. I was in the process of assembling all of the documentation and drafting sample legislation for him, and he was going to have it drafted and submitted in the 2014 legislature (since the time to submit for 2013 has passed).
I even have a blog on the issue: http://www.lanesharingworks.com
I'll admit, the text of this bill is nowhere near as comprehensive as I would prefer. I was going to have it written to mimic California's CHIP guidelines for Lane Splitting, and even include the two accessory laws, which prohibit cars from interfering with motorcycles attempting to split, including opening doors.
Still, I'd be happy to show up and testify in its favor when it gets to committee, since I live in Salem and already work downtown. I've also emailed Senator Boquist to ask him to look into this bill for me.
I do miss lane splitting here, that i was able to do overseas, even bought a scooter once just to lane split on my trip to & from work through heavy downtown traffic, would eliminate 1/2 an hour sitting in traffic...each way.
My letter to our representatives:
Dear Oregon State Representative,
I am writing to encourage you to support Oregon Senate Bill 0541, introduced by Oregon Senator Larry George.
As its practiced in California, lane-sharing offers a way to reduce congestion by creating an additional lane for motorcyclists to use when traffic is stopped or slow moving. It conserves energy in two ways. First, it keeps the motorcyclist and other traffic, to a lesser degree, moving. A moving vehicle is more energy efficient than a stopped vehicle plus the commute time is reduced further reducing energy use. Second, it promotes the motorcycle as an alternative form of transportation. Motorcycles get between 35-90 mpg which beats the average car, SUV, or light truck by a huge margin. Lane-sharing may actually be safer for the motorcyclist than being sandwiched between two larger vehicles in stop-and-go traffic. Additionally, some motorcycles (particularly air-cooled) dont do well in a stopped or slow moving environment and must keep moving to avoid engine damage.
One inexpensive, simple, effective, and immediate way to reduce traffic congestion is to permit motorcyclists to travel between two slow moving lanes of traffic. Doing so adds capacity to every existing four-lane road in the entire state of Oregon. In California where "lane-splitting" is legal, common place, and has been found to enhance motorcycle safety, it is embraced as a significant component of traffic congestion reduction.
Proponents of lane splitting state the Hurt Report of 1981 reached the conclusion that lane splitting improves motorcycle safety by reducing rear end crashes. Lane splitting supporters also state that the US DOT FARS database shows that fatalities from rear end collisions into motorcycles are 30% lower in California than in Florida or Texas, states with similar riding seasons and populations but which do not lane split. The database is available online to the public. The NHSTA does say, based on the Hurt Report, that lane splitting "slightly reduces" rear-end accidents, and is worthy of further study due to the possible congestion reduction benefits.
Thank you for your consideration of SB 0541.

<o:p> </o:p>
Well...from my observations of motorcycles splitting traffic on freeways and surface streets my personal opinion is that it is dangerous as hell..that video above was of a bike moving a few miles an hour..envision a sports bike, or cruiser, doing 50 +mph between vehicles with literally inches to spare IF the cars are centered in their 12 foot wide lanes...in congested traffic cars weave, bob and try to advance mere inches without turn signals.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Just my perspective...but I do not think quelling the impatient motorcycle riders in commute or a road backed up from construction or an accident is worth the risk.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Right side passing has numerous draw backs..now if there was a high occupancy commute lane that allowed motorcycles that might cool down those that can't wait or figure out an alternate route. Don't rush through life, enjoy it.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
But I could be wrong..:wink:<o:p></o:p>

ND manufacturer offers '100 percent efficient' biomass dryingBISMARCK, N.D. — Mike Robb can see it all: In the near future, farmers no longer will need to buy expensive propane or natural gas to dry their crops.
By: Mikkel Pates, Agweek
BISMARCK, N.D. — Mike Robb can see it all: In the near future, farmers no longer will need to buy expensive propane or natural gas to dry their crops.
Instead, they'll retrofit existing grain dryers with one of his biomass-burning combustion systems. Instead of propane, they'll fire up their grain dryers with a variety of biomass sources they'll either collect on their own farms or haul back from processors.
In the past five years, Robb and his colleagues have developed and have started patent applications on a furnace prototype that he says can do that. The system offers continuous, automatic feeding, or "stoking," and is designed to shift seamlessly among different fuels — sunflower hulls, corn stover, bean crop residue — on the go, keeping the furnace at a constant temperature all the while.
The goal is to drastically cut drying costs while producing an ash byproduct that can be added to the soil as a beneficial additive.
The prototype furnace is running in a manufacturing company headquarters that Robb has run for the past 30 years in a Bismarck, N.D., industrial park. He intends to manufacture the combustion units for the system in Bismarck. A Fargo, N.D., company will assemble the heat exchanger, or furnace, and then ship it as a complete unit. A range of furnace models will be labeled by their Btu output and will be marketed from the Fargo-Moorhead area starting late this summer. The marketing company will install it and provide any repair or service support, Robb says.
One of the machines will go to a Minnesota seed farm this fall, and other farmers are considering it. Among other things, the company will have a booth at this year's Big Iron Sept. 14 to 16 in West Fargo, N.D.
History in heat
Robb has a long history in heat.
He grew up in Bismarck, where his father, a World War II vet, owned an electrical installation company. Mike worked briefly with his father, and graduated from Bismarck High School in 1961. He served as a hitch as an electronics technician in the Navy and then returned home, where he married and started a real estate land development business. He developed two subdivisions in town and still owns a utility company that supplies water and sewer service to them.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the development business slowed down with double-digit inflation, so Robb reinvented himself.
He started teaching himself the "combustion business." In 1980, he started a "coal stoker" furnace and boiler manufacturing business that he called King Coal Furnace Corp. In 1983, the company obtained a patent on a rotating stoker. King Coal built and installed thousands of residential boilers and forced-air furnaces in a five-state area, but sold the residential part of the business in 2000. He kept the commercial and industrial end.
King Coal supplies furnaces for numerous applications. In 2009, the company built a commercial-grade system in the Bismarck Aquatics Center, a $7 million complex that uses urban tree waste from the Bismarck landfill to heat water and the building, saving excess of $100,000 over the cost of natural gas. King Coal's piece of that project was about $600,000.
"We have been building industrial wood-fired systems for the wood industry — cabinet and hardwood flooring — for several years. They're used in kiln-drying industry, and they're all over Minnesota and Wisconsin, and as far south as Kentucky."
About five years ago, Robb started thinking about applications for the on-farm and agricultural market.
"I figure, we're near the epicenter of the grain-drying region," Robb says. "I thought there was an opportunity, with propane prices that can hamstring farmers and kill their bottom line."
DDGs and beyond
Initially, one of the focus points was to see how the system would work with dried distiller's grains, or DDGs.
"That, in our estimation, was the most difficult thing to burn, but it turns out it burns beautifully on our stoker," Robb says.
"We discovered, to our delight, that it burns a lot of other fuels equally as well," Robb says. "That we find interesting from the perspective of a farmer who has a variety of byproducts that could potentially be burned to displace propane or natural gas as the heat source for grain drying."
Some of these sources are obvious.
For instance, "North Dakota is the premier volume grower of sunflowers," Robb says. "You have over a million acres of sunflowers this year. Any farmer who raises sunflowers may not know it, but he has enough screenings in his crop to dry all of his crops."
Of course, Robb is talking about 2,000 acres or so and who may have corn or something else to dry.
"They can bring the sunflower crop in and screen it out and utilize it for free, instead of buying the screenings," he says.
Ditto for a variety of other crops — corn, beans and any type of crop they need to dry down. They can burn turkey and chicken litter, providing it's reasonably dry and friable (not frozen in big chunks).
With corn stover and cob waste, "you can recover a portion, grind it and use it directly in our combustor. Trash that comes out of a field of soybeans would be another excellent source of fuel — baled, ground and burned."
The system will "burn anything that is 1 inch in diameter or smaller. It has to be ground to a consistent size in a tub grinder. It can burn
'run-of-mine' coal, or stoker coal. That's the stuff the railroad hauls.
No other stoker system can do that unless you have a power plant," Robb says. "The stoker system, regardless of how much ash is in it, rejects it and it's augered out automat-
ically when it's combusted. You don't have to baby-sit a stoker. All a farmer has to do is make sure it has fuel."
One feature is an Internet connection, where the farmer can monitor it from his laptop.
Moisture no problem
One key to the system is that moisture content is not an issue.
Lignite coal puts out 7,000 Btus per pound and is about 38 percent water as it is mined.
Sunflower hull screenings — immature smaller-sized seeds, twigs and nonseed biomass — offer 9,000 Btus per pound, which is "way beyond lignite coal, and rivals Wyming coal, Robb says.
"It burns beautifully," he says.
The screenings usually are dried with the crop.
Corn cobs produce about 7,000 Btus per pound. The cobs and stover have to be ground down to an inch or less in diameter.
"You can take that type of material, put it in this combustor, and you can dry your corn with it. Instead of these guys shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of their system, they can put (those funds) in their pocket," he says. "It depends on the specific drying season, but most people will be able to pay for it in a year. That's a substantial payback."
The prototype has a chimney, but that's only to get rid of excess heat in a boiler system, while a commercial air-to-air system essentially would use all of the heat internally.
Many sizes, many fits
King Coal will sell 1 million- to 10 million-Btu systems for most farm applications, but larger, commercial systems may go to 50 million Btus for commercial elevators.
The prototype burner is 4 feet wide and 6 feet long, but commercial systems likely will be larger. The prototype is inside a building, but the commercial models can be placed outdoors or outside in the weather and connected to a grain dryer with round duct work. Units provide forced-air, indirect heat.
A 2 million-Btu unit would measure 6 feet wide by 12 feet long and be 8 to 10 feet tall. It will be transportable, so it would come as a complete unit, with all the electrical work done. It would be a matter of setting it on the site, skid-mounted, and hooking up duct work from the combustor to the dryer and turning it on.
With a typical farm unit, the heat would be indirect, air-to-air, so that the combustion gases will be contained in a heat exchanger, with air blowing around the heat exchanger.
"There would be no direct flame exposed to the products, so the system would be much safer. The design is a five-pass heat exchanger — very efficient for converting solid fuel into heat," he says. "The design of the system allows us to take waste heat that normally would go up a chimney and use nearly 100 percent of it in the drying process."
Because of this, it will reduce the solid fuel needs for similar systems by 30 percent.
Robb underlines the fact that his company isn't in the fuel business, and it doesn't make or install grain dryers.
"We're simply providing the heat source for the grain drying — the combustion and the heat recovery," he says.
Ag market interest
Robb is very optimistic about agricultural and biomass applications.
"We see this in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions in growth potential," he says.
Robb says it's difficult to specify a price for the machines.
"That depends on how much equipment they want to supply — their fuel handling, storage, and conveying," he says.
A rough rule of thumb might be that farm system will cost $80,000 to $300,000, for the furnace alone.
A Juneau, Alaska, brewery has purchased a 10 million-Btu boiler. The system is under construction now, so that the brewery can use its own distiller's grains byproduct to generate high-pressure steam for brewing, displacing $2.50-per-gallon diesel fuel.
On the ag side, Anderson Seed of Mentor, Minn., is the first in the region with a contract to put one of the furnaces into place. It's a 12-month operation and will be used to dry sunflowers. Anderson Seed is installing a 2 million-Btu unit, which is likely to be in place by October or November.
Robb thinks farmers won't flinch at those prices when they see the advantages.
"You can buy a propane burner for a few thousand dollars, yes, but that isn't the big item," he says. "The big item is the $50,000 per year or more they spend on buying propane."
He works out the equation this way: At a cost of $1.50 per gallon for propane, the cost for fuel for drying is about $16.37 per million Btus.
"Lignite coal in this region is about $4 per million Btus. But you can buy sunflower screenings for $30 a ton for bedding. That works out to about $1.65 per million Btus. So if you have a 6 million-Btu furnace, at $1.65 per million Btus, you're paying $10 to $12 per hour, vs. hundreds of dollars per hour for propane. That's why we're at the point where we can take this to market."
Installation, operation
The commercial furnace model will be skid-mounted, so it can be picked up and set on the ground.
It'll hook up the ductwork to their dryer and hook up an electrical feed.
"By the way, it doesn't matter if they have three-phase on their farm because this will convert single-phase 220 volt to three-phase 220 power," he says.
Customers will install a hopper bottom bin, much like a grain bin, which would store things like sunflower hulls. These will flow out of an epoxy-lined bin and into a fuel feed auger that will take it into the combustion hopper, where it will be automatically fed and modulated.
"The combustion rate will modulate up and down," Robb says.
In the fall, when there are wide temperature fluctuations, the system will automatically compensate by stoking more fuel to compensate for the colder air.
"This system redistributes on a continuing basis the products of combustion on an even, flat surface," he says. "There is an anti-gravity combustion device that distributes and redistributes the fuel automatically as it burns, so the fuel bed remains very thin and receives a proper ratio of air to fuel that nobody has been able to obtain until now."
The unit automatically removes ash from the combustion zone, or furnace.
There is a proprietary system, which uses air distribution on the edges of the fuel pile, which more completely burns the material above the fire. The system is designed to redistribute the fuel as it's burned, cutting down on the particulate production, the energy waste and cutting pollution.
The system is computer-controlled to maintain very low emissions. A farmer who installs the unit can monitor the machine, remotely with a dial or a keyboard. The system can be wired through the Internet to his laptop computer in the house or elsewhere, so he can monitor how the dryer is doing.
Robb says the system isn't a brand new, but it's a new application.
"We've taken something here, that we've known about for a very long time and spent a lot of research and development — five years on R&D — to bring this to market as brand new," he says.
Looking ahead
King Coal is a private company and isn't obliged to disclose its business volume, but Robb is willing to acknowledge sales are "in the seven-figure column." He thinks that, if this product takes off, that could grow substantially.
Robb sees enough potential in the business that his family has joined him. His son-in-law, Jon Dockter, who has a degree in engineering and worked for 10 years in the airline industry in Minneapolis, is working with the company.
Among others, Robb has been consulting with longtime friend Jack Johnson of Fargo, who was an early executive of Steiger Tractor Co. Melroe is working with the business as it expands into agriculture.
King Coal is "heading in a direction that I feel, within the next few years, is entering a billion-dollar market," Robb says.
"God only knows where all of this
is going to go," he says. "You know things are way out of line in terms of the cost. Farmers don't have any control over that. They're behind an eight-ball when it comes to guys who predict what propane and natural gas will cost."
He doesn't see anything about biomass prices that will change the prospects for his products, but the price of propane typically just goes up, especially at times when farmers need it most.
"On the farm, these guys who raise sunflower or corn, they're unknowingly creating a byproduct that can be made into a viable fuel source that can dramatically reduce their operating expenses," he says.

Hillsborough County Board to reign in NEVs
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
For the past year and a half, Neighborhood Electric Vehicles, or NEVs, have been giving free rides to people in certain parts of Tampa, much to the consternation of taxi cab companies who believe they put them at an unfair disadvantage.
Because the rides are free, theyâre not regulated.
But today cab companies won a victory when the Hillsborough County Public Transportation Commission, or PTC, ruled that the car service does receive compensation, in the form of advertising and tips. That means they will soon be able to regulate the service.
For months, cabbies like Charles Smalling have come before the Commission, claiming that the cars, which look like stretched out golf carts, have an unfair advantage and have been hurting their business.
Smalling claims heâs also seen the cars driving faster than 35 miles per hour, which by law they are not allowed to do.
The Commission has debated for months on whether or not the NEVs are receiving compensation. Attorney Michael Moses said that the owners of the NEVs have admitted as much.
John Dingfelder is one of two Tampa City Council members who sits on the PTC. Earlier this year he brought the issue before the Council, but as PTC attorney Orlando Perez recounted, the Council said they wanted to wait for the Commission to act.
Attorney Seth Mills has defended Yellow Cab before the PTC in earlier actions. He argued that the board has dithered on the ruling on the issue for far too long, and that they needed to decide whether they had the authority to regulate the NEVs.
Chairman Kevin White asked Board Attorney Orlando Perez if it would be problematic to regulate the NEVs as taxis, since currently there is a cap on issuing new permits in the County for taxis.
Tampa City Council member Joseph Caetano said it was time for the PTC to act.
But Commissioner John Dingfelder, an attorney himself, took exception with the board accepting the options laid out by attorney Seth Mills, who was arguing that the board must regulate the NEVs.
Commissioner Rose Ferlita agreed with Joseph Catano that the Board should stop deliberating and start making decisions.
The Board voted 4-2 to agree that the NEVs do receive compensation, and thus are eligible to be regulated.comments powered by Disqus

In January, America's major tech companies joined everyday internet users to break the back of a reviled law called SOPA. Months later, Washington is brewing a new law that alarms many SOPA opponents — but this time the same companies have been quiet as church mice.
On Thursday, the US House of Representatives passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, a law that will make it easier for companies to share data with the government. On its face, the law known as CISPA has a laudable purpose — to help companies and the government prevent and respond to attacks on the nation's computers. But civil libertarians warn that the current version of the law will result in a raft of new Patriot Act like rules that will diminish our privacy rights even further.
Why is Silicon Valley silent on CISPA?

Saraf Omra — An attack by militants in the locality of Saraf Omra in North Darfur on Saturday evening, 29 December, left three people killed and another three wounded.
A victim's relative told Radio Dabanga that gunmen in Land Cruiser vehicles and on horses led by a man named Ahmed Arda attacked the village of Kulla around 9 pm on Saturday evening.
The relative added that the incident led to the death of two villagers, Ramadan Abdul Jabbar and Osama Ber Najal, a motorcycle mechanic and also killed one of the militants. He explained that four people were wounded in the attack, among them Mekka Saleh Nour who was taken to Kabkabiya hospital for treatment.
It was reported that the village was still under siege by the gunmen on Sunday and that a committee of Kabkabiya's civil administration moved to the site under military escort to 'contain the problem'.
