Even so, Cantabrian people still conserve more apologues and legends with a great ritual or behavioral component than significant tales.
Among the remains of myths that still persist as substrate in the Cantabrian tradition is the cult to great protective divinities, like the adoration to the Sun, as is evident in Cantabrian Steles, and in relation to the cult of the fire . Also, the Cantabrians worshiped a supreme divinity-father which in Roman time was associated with Jupiter and the cult to the Sun, and later with the Christian God.
Combined with the marked warlike disposition of the Cantabrians, appears a god of war, subsequently identified as the Roman Mars, to whom they offered sacrifices of male goats, horses, or large numbers and prisoners, as Strabo, Horace and Silius Italicus point out. These hecatombs were accompanied by the drinking of the still warm blood of the horses, as Horace mentions in regard to the concanos, and it will be, then, a true communion.
For the ancient Cantabrians these practices had a mystic origin thanks to the belief that these animals were sacred. Some link this ritual very closely with the variant of the Celtic solar god Mars and that these animals they represented his reincarnation.
The Human sacrifices among the northern peoples are also mentioned by Saint Martin of Braga and they will have the same value of redemption and prediction that for the rest of the Celts of Gaul, where they were very frequent. Then Strabo will tell that those who examined the prisoners' viscus, covering them with thin tunics, cut the right hand and consecrated it to the gods. The way to predict the future depended on the fall of the victim.
Together with this war deity, appear the germinator mother-godessess related to the Moon, remaining almost until the present time, when they have a clear influence in rural environments, evident in the phases of sowing and gathering of the crops.
In the same way, the cult to a god of the sea was assimilated in Roman times through Neptune (a statuette of this deity, but with features of the original Cantabrian divinity, was found in Castro Urdiales).
The ancient Cantabrians believed in the immortality of the spirit. Thus they demonstrated in their funeral rites where cremation predominated, with the exception of those who died in combat, who had to rest in the battlefield until vultures opened their entrails to take their soul to Heaven and reunite in glory with their ancestors. This practice is testified in the engravings of the Estela cántabra of Zurita.
Sacrifice played a major role in the complex Cantabrian society in both its aspects: as a means to fulfill the divine will as well as the prevalence of abnegation to collectivity against the individual. Then, in a warring society, as the Cantabrian,immolation was not considered as primitive or barbarian but the strong determination required from the person to commit sacrifice gave it a great importance. That was the case of the devotio, a singular and extreme sacrifice practices by the Cantabrians in which the warring communities joined their destiny to that of their leader.
At the same time, a terrenal mythology of adoration to Gaia, the Mother Earth, exists through the divinization of animals, trees, mountains and waters like elementary spirits. Beliefs, on the other hand, common to all the people who received celtic influences.
Places like Pico Dobra, in the valley of Besaya, have given evidence of their sacred condition since pre-Roman times through the altar dedicated to the Cantabrian God Erudinus, dated on the year 399, which demonstrates that these rites extended beyond the instauration of Christianity in the Roman Empire as official religion. In the same way toponyms like Peña Sagra ("Sacred Mount"), Peña Santa ("Saint Mount"), Mozagro (Montem sacrum = Sacred Mount) or Montehano (montem fanum = Mount of the Sanctuary) indicate that they have been considered sacred places from the most remote antiquity.
Also divinized were the rivers and water bodies. At the Mount Cildá appeared an area dedicated to the mother goddess Mater Deva, known though the Celtic world and personified in the Deva river. At Otañes it was found a patera dedicated to the nymph of a fountain with medicinal properties. Pliny the Elder mentions the existence in Cantabria of one of the intermitent fountains -the Fuentes Tamáricas- adored by the Cantabrians and that had a prophetic value and that corresponded to the current Velilla del Río Carrión. Suetonius, in a story about the life of Galba, points uut as a symbol of good devination having found, during his stay at Cantabria, 12 axes in a lake. There were, without any doubt exvotos left there following their tradition (which is also found in other European peoples), which suggests a cult to the lakes. The offerings to the waters of stipes, or bronze coins of low value, as well as other pieces of higher value, as denari, aurei and solidi, its manifested in the presence of some of those pieces at La Hermida, Peña Cutral, Alceda and at the Híjar river.
At the same time, the forest were also divinized, a cult with clear Celtic influences through an arboreal mythology. Some species of trees were specially respected; the yew and the oak. The former is the most emblematic and symbolic species of Cantabria and it was venerated by Cantabrians in antiquity, being part of some of their rituals. We know by the accounts of Silius, Florus, Pliny and Isidore of Seville, that Cantabrians committed suicide with poison they got from the leaves of this tree, but they preferred death rather than slavery. It's usual to find them at the town squares, at cemeteries, churches, chapels, palaces and big houses because of being considered a witness tree, which has allowed them to perpetuate that halo of mystery and sanctity that surrounds everything related with this species.
The oak is the Celtic tree by excellence maybe because it is the most sacred specied for the druids, from which they recollected the muérdago. It is a species that carries lots of folkloristic, symbolic and magic meanings in Cantabria, it was frequent to use it as "Maypole", the pole that presides the festivities in some towns, around which the people dance to celebrate the rebirth of the vegetal life. The quercus symbolized the union between the sky and the earth, image that gave them the position as axis of the world. They tend to attract lightnings, so it played a preponderant role in the ceremonies to attract the rain and the fire in all Europe.
Oaks, beeches, holly oaks and yews were used as a place of tribal meetings for many generations where religious and secular laws were taught. Until recent times it was usual to celebrate open meetings under centennial trees (the meetings of Trasmiera got together at Hoz de Anero, Ribamontán al Monte, under a great holly oak that still stands).
As in other peoples, in Cantabria there were dates that have been appropriated since antiquity for rituals and legends, days that are charged with dark or ancient meanings. For this reason during the summer solstice, the "night is magic". Tradition says, in all different variants, that the Caballucos del Diablo ("Devil's little horses") and the witches loose their powers after dusk and the curanderos gain control over them; plants as the four-leaf clover, the fruit of the elder berry, the leaves of the willow, the common jupiter or the tree heath among others cure and bring happiness if they are collected at dawn. Around Christmas (winter solstice) there were ritual ceremonies, remains of ancient cults to the tree, the fire and the water. Around those dates the sources of the rivers and the balconies were dressed with flowers and people danced and jumped over the fire.
Also important were specific moments of the day, mostly the twilight. Ancient Cantabrians talked about the "Sun of the Dead", referring to the last part of the day when the Sun was still visible and that they believed was sent by the dead. They believed that it marqued the moment in which the dead came back to life and several author have related it with the solar cult.
There are other fabulous beings that populate the mythological pantheon of Cantabria, as the Ventolín, the Caballucos del Diablo, the Nubero, the Musgosu, the Cuélebre, the Ramidreju, etc. Or beautiful legends such as that of the Sirenuca ("Little Mermaid"), a beautiful but disobedient and spoiled lady with a fancy for climbing the most dangerous cliffs of Castro Urdiales to sing with the waves and was, therefore, transformed into an ephydriad. Or that of the Fish-man, a man from Liérganes who loved to swim and that got lost at the Miera river, being finally found at the Bay of Cádiz, transformed into a strange aquatic being.
Even today there are Cantabrians that worship the Anjanas, not being replaced by saints or virgins, as they still consider that some gifts are granted by these good fairies of the mountains, and even today the Ojáncano is used to scare the children when they are mischievous. But this world of meanings and values has become diluted little by little with the advance of the modernity and time, giving place to new urban legends and forgetting the old deities.
It is until now that Cantabrian mythology has attracted the interest of scholars, specially after the publishing of the recopilation made by the writer Manuel Llano Merino (1898-1938) throughout his work, enrichened with oral tradition, and several other writers like Adriano García-Lomas.

The primary garment consisted of a knee-length woolen tunic. For the poorer theow, this would be the only clothing worn, although some may have been given woolen trousers and shoes to wear. Gebur would be able to afford woolen trousers and leather shoes, and would also carry a knife (called a seax), which signified their freedom in the eyes of medieval Anglo-Saxon society. A linen undertunic (worn under the outer woolen tunic) and linen braies (reaching to the ankle or knee) would be worn by richer peasants and nobility, along with woolen hose which would be held up by garters or decorative embroidery around the top. During the 11th century, the length of the braies decreased and the length of the hose increased, eventually resulting in a garment which somewhat resembled modern shorts. Geneatas and thegns would often have cross-gartering on their hose, along with leather turnshoes. Over the tunic, a cloak would be worn, which was held together by a brooch or, later on, a ring (functional buttons not being invented until the 13th century). The Phrygian cap was the main style of headcovering worn by men, although hoods would also be worn.
The main garment for a woman was a woollen gown of ankle length. Occasionally two gowns were worn, with the inner gown having longer, tighter sleeves, and the outer one having shorter, looser sleeves. Under this might be worn a linen underdress. A mantle might be worn over the outer dress, along with a cloak. Like men, free women would also carry a seax as a sign of their freedom. After the introduction of Christianity, all women (except for very young girls and occasionally slaves) would wear some kind of headcovering, usually a draped couvrechef called a headrail, the ancestor of the later wimple.

Lindsay Lohan knows how to raise eyebrows. First, as a preternaturally talented young actress. Then, as a talented young actress who partied too hard and checked into rehab. And now, as an edgy Hollywood starlet who publicly canoodles with lady friend, DJ Samantha Ronson. And it's apparently Ronson who's behind the latest Lohan fad—converting to Judaism.
Since the two women have been spending time together, especially in the company of Ronson's Jewish family, Lohan, who was raised Catholic, is toying with the idea of being Jewish. Although speculators insist, Lohan is "doing it for Ronson," the gals refuse to confirm whether their relationship is sexual or not.
Although, the idea of it does spark an interesting challenge for an L.A. rabbi: a Catholic-Jewish conversion and then a same-sex marriage. Any takers?

Website of the day: Assured Sale
They say that moving house is right up there with divorce and bereavement when it comes to stressful experiences that you have to go through. If you've ever bought or sold a property, you'll probably agree. Dealing with solicitors, surveyors and, worst of all estate agents, is never easy, The endless phone calls, the fees for doing what seems like absolutely nothing and no guarantee of a result at the end of it. People pulling out of property deals at the last minute is on the rise and the very thought of it will keep you up at night.
And that's exactly why assuredsale.com exists. It came about after the founders and their friends got so fed up with being gazumped and gazundered that they decided to set up a place where people could buy and sell property with a little more confidence in the process.
Here, both the vendor and the buyer has to put up a deposit when they agree a sale. If one of them walks away, they forfeit the cash. A very simple idea, that's set to revolutionise the way people buy and sell the places they live in.

VIDEO: Surfer told to "get back to England" while on Bude beach
Posted: April 02, 2014|
A SURFER from Bude, Cornwall, was racially abused by a paddle boarder on a beach, who swore at him and bizarrely told him to get "back to England."
Longboarder Phil Brown, 29, was subjected to abuse after catching the same wave as the stand-up paddle (SUP) boarder, who appeared to consider Cornwall a foreign country.
Mr Brown said he accidently shared the SUP rider's wave, an act known in the surfing community as 'dropping in'. He was then sworn at by the man, who appears to have a Liverpudlian accent and who threatened to put him in hospital if he "did it again."
Mr Brown caught the interaction, which happened on Saturday on Summerleaze Beach, on camera. The video shows a Saint Piran's Flag – the flag of Cornwall – sticker stuck to the front of the SUP rider's board. Some in Cornwall use the flag as a symbol of identity.
Mr Brown apologised but the man continued to swear at him and told him to get back to England.
Mr Brown then pointed out that he is from Cornwall, before the man replied: "I was born here."
It was pointed out to the SUP rider by Mr Brown that that gives him "no more right", but he merely swore again and paddled off.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Mr Brown, who served in the Army for eight years including in Afghanistan, said: "'I think he's bang out of order for the way he spoke to me and the localism he used as well.
"It's the same as racism. It's exactly the same thing just in a different manner.
"I am a bit wary to get back in the water now to be honest. I think I'll go to a different beach.
"I was quite shocked. Everyone in Cornwall is pretty laid back – you don't get that kind of thing usually so to receive that from him was one hell of a shock.
"I told him I'm from Cornwall but he comes across as if it is his water and almost as if he classes me as a holidaymaker.
"It shouldn't make any difference where I'm from – it's the same water."
"I certainly don't think of Cornwall as its own country or anything like that.
"I know there's some good old rivalry between Devon and Cornwall but that's just banter."

G'day from Adelaide
G'day folks.
Mick from Adelaide here. Stumbled across this site after googling for info on brick ovens. looks to be a great resource. I've already read through the pompeii plans and a whole bunch of info.
Been planning on building one for a while now. Inspired by a trip to Pompeii and local brick oven guru Russel Jeavons's book 'your brick oven', I've finally decided to get moving on this project and make a start.
I've been collecting materials for some time now, and figure I will fabricate the rest as I go. The plan is to build an outdoor oven alongside an area to house the BBQ and somewhere to prepare food. I would ideally like a wok burner somewhere in there too, but will have to see how space permits.
At the moment I'm deciding on the size, Russell advocates an 1100mm (internal dimensioned) oven, but this may be a little large for the space I have. I'm planning on using it for all round general cooking, so I'm trying to figure out if a smaller oven may be too small for roasts? any advice here would be appreciated.
I've also been saving (salvaging) red clay bricks for the build, again Russell appears to suggest that fire bricks are not necessary, but reading through the info you have here, they seem to be the building material of choice. Any opinions on this are welcomed.
Probably got lots more questions, I will post them as I go.
Re: G'day from Adelaide
A relative newbie myself Mick.....all I can offer is Welcome!
Re: G'day from Adelaide
G'day Mick.
Ive got Russell's book too, its a bit light on for info for mine, he also didnt use any under hearth insulation which is an absolute must have if you want to retain the heat in the oven.
You are off to a good start with getting the plans, dont forget to ask lots of questions.
Cheers, Al
Re: G'day from Adelaide
Thanks for the replies. :)
Al. Just read through your build thread, got to say that's a great looking oven you have there, an inspiration for sure. Some very useful tips in there too. I noticed that you have a solid base, is this for the insulation properties? or just for looks? I planned to have an open base to give me somewhere to store the wood.
Re: G'day from Adelaide
Current thinking on building the base as a wood stowage in the forum is that you include a couple of entrances. Firstly for ease of access ( no crawley to the back) and secound for flow through ventilation for wood drying.
Regards Dave
Re: G'day from Adelaide
Re: G'day from Adelaide
You cant beat designer logs in your wood storage area :D
Re: G'day from Adelaide
Hi Mick and welcome aboard.
Great to see another Adelaidian come on board, you're the 44th member I have on my list from Adelaide or specifically SA.
I too have Russell's book and spent some time down at his restaurant which he recently sold and has rapidly gone down hill. Russell always used the old common reds for his ovens and the ones in his restaurant had 2 x 50mm layers of clay pavers as his cooking surface for a busy commercial oven.
My oven is 1000mm diameter and i cook 5 pizzas at a time with no problems but you are pretty busy.
Where abouts in Adelaide are you located as I might be able to team you up with other member who can help you through your build?
Re: G'day from Adelaide
Niell, I'm in Mile End, not too far from Thebarton Theatre. Shame that Russells restaurant has gone downhill, I was planning a trip there some day. Driven past it a few times but never eaten there.
I made a trip out to a couple of local BBQ / wood heater places today to see what was available as far as building materials went. Managed to find fire bricks at the wood heater place next to the brickworks market, but at well over $10 per brick I think its more than a little too steep. They said they could also supply refractory cement, but I dared not ask how much :D.
Niel, I did read in your build thread about the littlehampton pavers, might take a look into these for my base.
I think for the build I will stick with the clay bricks I've saved, firstly as I already have (lots of) them, but also they seem to work well enough in a commercial environment (Russells restaurant) so I'm sure they will be good enough for me. I'll wager that they are not the ideal choice, but I am a man of many projects and budget is a consideration for this one.
I will definitely look into buying some good quality bricks / pavers / what-evers for the oven floor, not only to get a smooth cooking surface, but also to help with the heat retention, likewise for the insulation.
I think initially I will build the basic dome, and then later add on the flue and insulation. This is for no other reason than I've got a bit of a deadline to meet and figure that it's the quickest way to be able to cook pizzas for my daughters 1st birthday in March.
I did manage to pick something up today - a pizza peel, for inspiration. Now I just need an oven to go with it. :D
Might try and get the area cleared for the base this weekend.
Re: G'day from Adelaide
Hi Mick
Talking with the Littlehampton Brick Works, they sell 10 times as many tick solid pavers for oven builders than their firebricks. I have said this several times before that they either won't say or don't know the content of their firebricks. Their seconds are occassionally on sale for around the $2 mark.
Check out your planned clay bricks by belting a few with a sledge hammer, if they crumble, don't use them but if theybreak without going into powder, then they are the ones to choose. Theses will be the ones that were closer to the fire when fired and are harder, The bricks that were well buried in the centre were used for internal bricks and you see where they have been wrongly used outside in the elements fritter away and self destruct over years.
There is a thread that I put up here on Russell's restarant:
Permathread #16 has photos of the inside and oven. There is a smaller one out the back where he cooked all the sweets.

|Oral Surgery Recovery | Cosmetic Dentistry
Related Topics:
There are some things to watch for when recovering from oral surgery. These items will be listed in the recovery packet that the dentist or oral surgeon will provide for you once you are discharged from the operating suite and facility.
It is very important that one follows the instructions listed on the recovery sheet to the letter and asks any questions that may present themselves both before leaving and once you have left the office.
It is better to ask these questions than hinder the oral surgery recovery process. It is also important to report any of the conditions that you are told to watch for immediately.
One of the most common and concerning side effects to oral surgery is bleeding. It is not uncommon for patients who are in the midst of oral surgery recovery to experience a small amount of oral bleeding from the surgical site. If this occurs, a small piece of gauze can be applied to the site to stop the bleeding. Once the bleeding has stopped, remove the gauze should be removed. This process can be made easier by sipping a small amount of water, as the gauze can make the mouth dry. If the bleeding is extensive, constant, or if the surgical site appears or feels to have opened up, immediately call the dental office as this may require re-stitching.
Pain is another common side effect to oral surgery. This is often controlled through the use of pain pills, although topical numbing agents can be used in some situations. If the pain is not being properly controlled by the medication that is prescribed by the dentist, be sure to call the dental office. There have been many studies that show that patients who are in pain heal slower than patients who have their pain properly managed. If the pain is extreme, the dentist should be immediately informed of this as it may be a symptom of an unexpected problem with the surgery or something may have moved out of place, depending upon the surgery.
|There are many dangers of dental implants to consider. Have your insurance provider cover the dental implant fees.

Timing is everything...is it ours?
I just moved to the area from Las Vegas and am looking to meet someone to spend time with and possibly more. It would be ideal to find someone looking for a relationship and not wanting to date multiple people at once. I'm over the games and bar/club scene. I have a great career, my own place and a car, no kids, never married and not attached...what more could you ask for? I am a fun, honest, loyal, funny, thoughtful, considerate, respectful person who knows how to treat a women. I could be like every other guy and tell you how great I am but I think I'll go in different direction. I can't cook (willing to learn though), I'm a little stubborn (it's my Italian/Irish mix), I'm kind of a neat freak (I don't like clutter) and I may have a mild case of OCD (volume of TV must be on an even number, yeah weird I know). Ok, now for the good things...not that those were bad! I have been told I'm a nice guy, which is probably why I'm single right? I workout 3-4 times a week. I would say I'm old fashioned and respectful of women. I don't lie, cheat or steal. I'm honest and upfront. I prove that in my profile because I say I'm 5'8, I would have gone with 5'10 if I was dishonest. It seems like every girl on here is looking for someone 5'10. I am constantly trying to laugh and never take life or myself too seriously, hopefully you don't either. I grew up in NY so I have a sarcastic personality, I'll need someone who can take a little teasing and give it back when necessary! I would love to find someone who I can have fun with in any situation and has an easy going personality. Low key, down to earth, no drama kind of girl. If I wink at you I'm interested, wink back and I'll send a message. No point in wasting my time with a message if you're just going to delete it.

I usually spend my free time grabbing drinks with friends, going to movies, dinners, beating my date at pool, bowling or whatever they choose to get humiliated in! I like spending evenings at home as well making prank phone calls & ding dong ditching

A head ultrasound is a safe and painless test that uses sound waves to make images of the brain.
During the examination, an ultrasound machine sends sound waves into the head and images are recorded on a computer. The black-and-white images show the internal structure of the brain, including the ventricles (the fluid-filled cavities in the brain) and the blood vessels.
Head ultrasounds are only done on babies younger than 6 months old, whose skull bones have not completely grown together (that is, they still have a soft spot on top of their head, known as a fontanel). This is because bones block the passage of ultrasound waves. The fontanel provides an opening for the sound waves to get through and reach the brain.
Doctors order head ultrasounds when there's a concern about neurological problems in an infant. Premature babies who require intensive care frequently have head ultrasounds to rule out neurological complications of prematurity, such as bleeding in the brain (intraventricular hemorrhage, or IVH) or injury to the white matter of the brain surrounding the ventricles (periventricular leukomalacia, or PVL).
A doctor also might order a head ultrasound for a baby with:
Head ultrasounds can generally help in diagnosing:
You don't have to do anything special to prepare your child for a head ultrasound. You should tell the technician about any medications your child is taking before the test begins.
The head ultrasound will be done in the radiology department of a hospital or in a radiology center. Parents usually can accompany their child to provide reassurance and support.
If your child is in the hospital and can't easily be brought to the radiology department, a portable ultrasound machine can be brought to the bedside. This is often done in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The head ultrasound can be done with the baby on his or her stomach or back, or even in a parent's arms, if necessary. The room is usually dark so the images can be seen clearly on the computer screen. A technician (sonographer) trained in ultrasound imaging will spread a clear, warm gel on your child's scalp (over the fontanel). This gel helps with the transmission of the sound waves.
The technician will then move a small wand (transducer) over the gel. The transducer emits high-frequency sound waves and a computer measures how the sound waves bounce back from the head. The computer changes those sound waves into images to be analyzed.
Sometimes a doctor will come in at the end of the test to meet your child and take a few more pictures. The procedure usually takes 15-30 minutes.
The head ultrasound test is painless, though your child may feel a slight pressure on the head as the transducer is moved. The gel may feel a little cold and wet.
A radiologist (a doctor who's specially trained in reading and interpreting X-ray and ultrasound images) will interpret the ultrasound results and then give the information to your doctor, who will discuss the results with you. If the test results appear abnormal, your doctor may order further tests.
In an emergency, the results of an ultrasound can be available quickly. Otherwise, they're usually ready in 1-2 days. In most cases, results can't be given directly to the patient or family at the time of the test.
No risks are associated with a head ultrasound. Unlike X-rays, radiation isn't involved with this test.
Babies sometimes cry in the ultrasound room, especially if they're restrained, but this won't interfere with the procedure. You can feed your baby, or offer a pacifier or favorite toy for comfort.
If you have questions about the head ultrasound, speak with your doctor. You can also talk to the technician before the exam.

Video: Family sings 'Bohemian Rhapsody' on the way to school every day
MARIETTA, Ga. -- A metro Atlanta family's morning ritual has gone viral on YouTube.
Every day on the car ride to school, the Parkers rock out to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" to get the kids pumped for classes.
"Depending on traffic, we can usually start the song as we pull out of the driveway, and pull into the school just as the song ends," Dad Robert Parker posted on YouTube.

Video of the family's routine has already gotten more than 3.2 million hits on YouTube.

Business Briefs
The European Union is a remarkable result of a process of voluntary economic and political integration between nation states in Europe. In the last half-century, Europe has liberalized trade, coordinated macroeconomic policies, and created a centralized set of governing institutions with significant authority in most areas of public policy. In the process, it has increased its size from 6 to 25 member states. Scholars and politicians have struggled to define this political entity, consisting of member states that pool their sovereignty at the European level, yet retain distinct identities as independent states. The EU cannot be described simply as cooperation between independent national governments, like the United Nations. Nor can it be depicted as a federal state, like the United States.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Cynthia Bailey Addresses Lesbian Rumors
If The Real Housewives of Atlanta have learned anything about being famous, it's that the media loves themselves a good rumor. The latest gossip? Apparently, NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey are now lesbian lovers. Is it just that hard to believe that two Real Housewives have a genuine friendship?
Cynthia was less than impressed with the rumor, but took the news in stride. She went on Twitter to express her nonchalance, writing, "Now me & @NeNeLeakes are lesbians? It won't take long 4 this BS to fizzle out #entertainitifulike."
It didn't take long for NeNe to respond, "U know that trash keeps a false story."
We're not sure if NeNe is talking about Kenya Moore or Porsha Stewart, both of whom she is friendly with. The info stemmed from unaired footage of Kenya having a conversation with Cynthia where she claimed that Porsha was the one who insinuated that Cynthia and NeNe had more than just a friendship contract.
In the clip, which will air on the "Secrets Revealed" episode this Sunday, April 28, Porsha seems to have no idea what Cynthia is talking about when she confronts her. It sounds to us like this was just a case of Kenya starting up drama, although we don't know for sure.
What we do know is that if it were true, Cynthia and NeNe would be the fiercest power couple ever!

Trust: The Universal Search Engine Marketing Key
No matter what industry you are in or where your target audience is located, it is common sense that earning trust on your website is the key to success. So, search engine marketing for your products or services should be molded around gaining it and taking advantage of it.
Your search engine marketing strategy shouldn't just be about traffic, rankings, and page rank. The bottom line is: all of that fancy stuff is absolutely useless if it doesn't help you get more sales. Your online marketing strategy should be well rounded and cover all bases. That means dot your I's and cross your T's. You can do SEO, build links, and add content to your site all day long, but all of that effort is done in vain if consumers and search engines do not see your site as being trustworthy.
A Common Internet Marketing Mistake
Although gaining trust should be at the very top of every site's priority list, this is a topic that so many search engine optimization firms and business owners totally overlook. Again, you can focus on all of the things that will help improve search engine rankings, but what good does it do you to have a million visitors a month if it doesn't result in any sales?
The point is, earning and keeping your visitors trust should be the starting point for every single search engine marketing campaign. You have probably heard of on-page SEO and off-page SEO at some point, but have you ever heard of on-page trust and off-page trust? The answer is probably no, until now anyways.
What is On-page Trust?
On-page trust is simply the impression you make on a visitor that determines whether they trust you or not. With such a vast number of industries and niches on the internet, it is impossible to provide a universal blueprint that will work for everyone. However, there are several things you can do to gain the trust of consumers for pretty much any product or service you are marketing on search engines. Here are a few of the easiest ways to help earn your customer's business
- Have an easily accessible privacy policy: Privacy is a big concern for allot of internet users, so you should tell them exactly how you will use their information. Not only does this protect you legally, but it also is a good indicator that you are responsible with your visitor's personal information.
- Include a visible phone number: As a consumer, you would want to be able to call a company to speak with a live person if you had a problem with their product or service, wouldn't you? Sites without a visible phone number are definitely not as trustworthy as ones that do.
- Include an address: Do you think that scam sites would openly give out their physical address and risk having a confrontation with unpleased customers? No, they wouldn't. So, if you have a legitimate company with a quality product or service, why not make your address easy to find by putting it in the footer of all your pages?
- Display trust seals: Trust seals are small pictures that represent a company's effort to provide a quality product or service. These include things like a commitment to privacy, memberships in organizations such as the better business bureau, and anti-malware or virus scanning.
What is Off-page Trust?
Off-page trust is the impression you give consumers on sites other than your own. It is human nature for a consumer to be suspicious or sceptical of a website and do some due diligence before making a purchase. Before a visitor whips out their credit card, what do you think they do to find out if you are a legitimate company or a scam artist? Nine times out of ten, they are going to look for information about your company on other websites. The doubtful consumer will likely go to Google and type in a search phrase such as "your company name scams", "your company name reviews" or "your company name rip-offs".
You might think, "So what? There is nothing I can do about that". Wrong, yes there is! It is called reputation management, and sadly, this is another search engine marketing service that is often forgotten or swept under the rug. You might have heard the expression "bad PR is better than no PR" before. As a business owner, do you really buy that?
Why do so many search engine marketing agencies not offer this service? Well, cleaning up bad PR associated with a customer's site does not bring nearly as much glory as an extra hundred visitors per month. However, from a business owner's point of view, wouldn't you agree that an extra hundred visitors is an extra hundred chances to give off a negative impression of your company if they can easily find tons of bad PR?
So now that you know about it, how can you implement reputation management into your search engine marketing arsenal? Here are a few steps that you can take to protect your brand and reputation online:
- Interact with customers on social media sites: Everyone in the search engine marketing industry knows the importance of likes, shares, and bookmarks from social media sites, but this is often the only thing businesses focus on. Ironically, we forget to be sociable on social media sites. Interacting with your customers not only increases the almighty links that everyone is after, but more importantly, it builds trust with current and future clients. Do you really think that scam sites participate on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+? No, doing that would just provide a place for them to be exposed by consumers who have been ripped off. So, if you have a legitimate company, what are you afraid of? Get out there and get sociable.
- Always resolve disputes with customers: Regardless of how great your business ethics are, your company is composed of human beings, who make mistakes. When this happens, you always need to make things right with the customer. We have all heard the clich "the customer is always right". Although most would agree that this is not always the case, from a search engine marketing standpoint, you better learn to adapt this approach. All it takes is a few rip-off reports, BBB complaints, or negative blog or forum comments to experience a major decrease in sales. Angry consumers will even develop an entire site for the sole purpose of voicing their displeasure of your company. The only way to protect yourself from an online assault of upset clients is to immediately make things right with them.
- Respond to negative comments on blogs or forums: As a business owner, you should definitely be concerned if someone is talking negatively about your company on a blog or forum. Many times, the comments aren't even legit. Your competitors can easily create a fake profile and start hammering away at your reputation. You should get in there and get in the fight, but always maintain a high level of professionalism when doing so. If there are fake comments, post your response and then ask the site owner to remove the false allegations. If it is a real customer with a real complaint, then follow the above mentioned tip and resolve the dispute with the offended individual. You may be surprised how willing they are to remove negative references to your company after you apologize and address their issues.
Search Engine Marketing: Walking In Your Customers Shoes
One of the easiest ways to not get off track with your search engine marketing campaign is to put yourself in your customer's shoes. Forget what you know about your company. Just look at what consumers see. With that approach, you will probably notice that your priority list will change, but the long-term result is a more trustworthy reputation, which ultimately leads to an increase in sales.

Thank you for this! I was hooked by the headline alone, and love the whole piece. I couldn't agree more. There are some companies that have managed to gain top ranking in the search results, but just underneath their company listing there are links to bad reviews and customer complaints about them on other sites. Putting yourself in the customer's (or potential customer's) shoes is a sage piece of advice. This strategy of trying to look at things from another's perspective is valuable in just about every aspect of life!
Elena Anne: I cannot agree more. That's why I recommend setting up some Google alerts for things like company name(s), employee name(s), and product name(s) so you can see if someone is saying anything negative about you and then respond to it a.s.a.p. Result: avoiding things like people or companies dedicating entire pages (or even websites) to complaining about you. This ensures there won't be any negative pages when people do a brand search the majority of the time. Another gem: type in company, employee, and product name(s) into Twitter Search so you can respond to complaints. It's also a great way of doing customer service btw!
Some really good advice in there Dennis – it's quite interesting seeing differences in conversion between pages with obvious signs of trust – particularly the physical address and real land-line number (as opposed to a free phone or cellphone only)
We wouldn't have believed it – but 2-3 times conversion over not having that type of doubt-doing-away-with information is typical – so we now stick a physical address writ large, association and trade body certification etc in ALL footers – plus it's nice getting schema code in there too 😉
Footers get quite big, but heck!
Alison, just out of curiosity: have you tested using trust signals/logos and so on not in the footer but directly underneath or next to a call-to-action yet? That could also boost your conversion considerably!

Title Transfers in NevadaPage Overview
What is a Title Transfer?
A certificate of title serves as legal proof of your ownership of a vehicle. If ownership changes, the title must transfer into the name of the new owner. In Nevada, a new owner has 30 days to register the vehicle. Common reasons for title transfers include:
- Purchase of a new or used vehicle
- Payoff of a car loan
- Transfer of a vehicle to a family member
- Gift or donation of a vehicle
- Inheritance of a vehicle
- Name change
Selling a Vehicle
One of the most important―and difficult―things about selling a car is negotiating a price that satisfies both you and the buyer. Back up your starting price with a vehicle history report (VHR), especially if it shows consistent maintenance throughout the life of the vehicle. A buyer will typically recognize the value of a car that's been well-kept versus one that's been in the shop for frequent repairs. Find out more about these reports in our section on VHRs.
Once you've found a buyer who loves the car, you may need to follow the steps below to transfer the title to the new owner.
- Find your title and sign it in the appropriate section on the back side. If you don't have the title, you'll need to apply for a duplicate. Learn more in our section on replacing a lost title.
- Have the buyer sign and date the title.
- Complete and sign a Bill of Sale (Form VP104). Keep a copy for yourself. You may also want to give the buyer a copy if he wants one, but he doesn't need the document to register the car as long as he has a signed-off title.
- Remove the license plates from the car. You then have the option of transferring the plate to another vehicle, or turning the plate in to the DMV within 30 days.
- Notify the NV DMV with the online resale notification.
- Give the signed title to the buyer, who will complete the title transfer and registration at the DMV. The buyer is also responsible for emissions certification and insurance for the vehicle.
NOTE: If you don't have the title, the DMV will accept a completed Application for Duplicate Nevada Certificate of Title (Form VP012) and a Bill of Sale only if the vehicle meets the requirements below:
- The vehicle was previously titled in Nevada
- The vehicle is more than 9 model years old
- The vehicle has no unfulfilled liens
Buying a Vehicle
New Cars
When you buy a new car from a dealer, the dealer usually takes care of the paperwork and title transfer for you.
Used Cars
To ensure you're getting the best price for the car you want, know the details about the vehicle's past performance and problems by ordering a Vehicle History Report online.
When you're ready to make a deal, you may need to:
- Have the owner sign and date the title.
- Sign and date the title.
- Make sure the owner removes the license plates from the car.
- Take the signed title and proof of insurance to the DMV to register the vehicle. Depending on your county of residence, you'll also need to bring a current emissions certificate.
- Pay $29.25 for a new title, and any additional fees that may apply.
Because you'll be registering your car and transferring the title at the same visit, you'll also need to pay registration fees and taxes. Get more details in our Car Registration section.
Removing a Lien
If you've financed your car, the lienholder will typically keep the title. When the loan is paid off, the lienholder should sign off on the title and send it to you. To transfer the title into your name, follow the steps below.
- Take the signed title and title fees of $29.25 to a DMV Full Service Office. If you prefer to mail the documents, send them to:
- Department of Motor Vehicles
- Title Processing
- 555 Wright Way
- Carson City, NV 89711
NOTE: If the lienholder does not have the title, or if you misplace the title after receiving it from the lienholder, you and the lienholder can complete and notarize a Lien Release (Form VP186). Submit the Lien Release, an Application for Duplicate Nevada Certificate of Title(Form VP012) and title fees of $29.25 to the DMV. You should receive your new title in approximately 6 weeks.
Transferring to Family
For the purposes of title transfers, Nevada defines "family" as:
- Spouse
- Child (includes adopted and illegitimate children and stepchildren)
- Parent
- Grandparent
- Grandchild
- Sibling
When someone transfers a vehicle to a family member, the recipient will may not need to pay sales tax. Follow the steps for buying/selling a vehicle above. The new owner will take the signed title and title fees of $29.25 to the DMV.
Gifting a Vehicle
Just like transferring a vehicle between family members, giving a vehicle to someone as a gift means the recipient will not have to pay sales tax on the vehicle. If you receive a vehicle as a gift, the process for transferring the title into your name is similar, as well. Follow the steps above. Take the signed title and title fees of $29.25 to the DMV.
Your title application will also serve as an application to register your car. Registration fees apply, and you'll also be responsible for paying vehicle property tax in your county of residence before attempting to register the car at the DMV. For more details, see our section on Car Registration.
Donating a Vehicle
The donation of your vehicle can benefit many needy people. You have a wide range of options if you choose to donate your car, so get the details in our section on car donation.
Inheriting a Vehicle
Handling the estate of a family member after his death can be complex.
If you would like to claim a relative's vehicle after his death―especially when the decedent (your relative) did not leave a will naming an heir for the vehicle―you must wait 40 days before filing the claim. The following may apply:
- The estate must not be worth more than $20,000.
- The vehicle must not have an outstanding lien.
- All of the decedent's debts must have been paid, including funeral expenses.
- There cannot be another pending claim on the vehicle.
- You must have sent notice―by certified mail or in-person service―"to every person whose right to succeed to the decedent's property is equal or superior to that of the Affiant" (meaning you), and 14 days must have passed since sending the notice.
- All other people involved must agree and send written notice to you that you are entitled to claim the vehicle.
Once you are given permission to claim the vehicle, transfer the title by following the steps below.
- Sign the existing title and enter the mileage as the legal heir.
- Complete and sign an Affidavit for Transfer of Title for Estates Under $20,000(Form VP024).
- Remove the license plates from the car.
- Take the plates and paperwork (including a copy of your relative's death certificate) to the DMV.
- Pay title fees of $29.25.
If you wish to designate an heir who will receive your vehicle after your death and want to bypass the will process, you can complete and sign a Transfer on Death Application(Form VP239). The beneficiary should keep the form until he is ready to transfer the vehicle into his name.
Making Name Corrections
Changing a Name
You may need to:
- Visit a DMV Full Service Office.
- Change your name on your driver's license and registration.
- Present the legal document, such as a marriage license or divorce decree, that proves the name change. If you have a divorce decree, it must name the vehicle―including VIN―that you're titling.
- Pay title fees of $29.25.
It's a good idea to update all DMV records, including driver's license and registration, at the same time. Order a copy of the legal name-change document if you don't have it already. Learn more in our section on changing your name.
Deleting a Name
- Everyone listed on the title must sign it as sellers, unless the title names Person A or Person B.
- Sign and date the title as buyer.
- Take the signed title and a $29.25 title fee to a DMV Full Service Office or mail the paperwork and fee to:
- Department of Motor Vehicles
- Title Processing
- 555 Wright Way
- Carson City, NV 89711
Adding a Name
- Everyone currently listed on the title must sign as sellers, unless the title names Person A or Person B.
- Have the same people, as well as the person whose name you're adding, sign the title as buyers.
- Take the signed title and a $29.25 title fee to a DMV Full Service Office or mail the paperwork and fee to:
- Department of Motor Vehicles
- Title Processing
- 555 Wright Way
- Carson City, NV 89711

Originally written on Madtown Badgers | Last updated 1/15/13
Scoring game winning overtime goals, that's what will win you the hearts and minds of Badger hockey fans everywhere. Apparently it'll also win you the WCHA Defender of the Week, which is exactly what John Ramage did and won for his two game winning overtime goals that extended the Badgers undefeated streak to 10 straight games. Ramage's goals were about as unexpected as possible as they were just the 3rd and 4th of the season and Ramage now has 6 points on the year (4 goals, 2 assists).

Cincinnati's Shayne Graham and Nick Lachey Host Celebrity Luncheon
January 29, 2009
The very best heroes are the homegrown kind. That message rang through loud and clear at the Greater Cincinnati Chapter's 22nd Annual Celebrity Waiters Luncheon, which brought together a host of hometown heroes for an afternoon of festivities to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. With Cincinnati Bengals' Kicker Shayne Graham on board as honorary event chair and an appearance from celebrity and hometown hero Nick Lachey, the 300 guests at the exclusive club lounge at Paul Brown Stadium raised a record $105,000 in support of the quest for a cure.
Details That Made a Difference
Hometown hero Nich Lachey poses with eight-year-old
guest of honor Kylie Meyer, who has CF, at the Greater Cincinnati Chapter's 22nd Annual Celebrity Waiters Luncheon.
Guest of Honor 8-year-old Kylie Meyer, who has CF, stood on a chair to deliver a moving Bid for a Cure speech that brought the audience to its feet. Corporate sponsors Furniture Fair and Cheviot Savings Bank generously set the Bid bar high with an offer to match up to $5,000 each, and Honorary Event Chair Shayne Graham chipped in $5,000 of his own.
When all was said and done, guests had raised an impressive $26,000 in the event's first-ever Bid for a Cure.
Special guest Nick Lachey, from boy band 98 Degrees and MTV show Newlyweds, was a notable presence, selling prize balloons, signing autographs and posing for pictures with eager fans.
Touched by Kylie's moving Bid Lachey said, "Kylie hasn't let this terrible disease hold her back for even one minute. She puts in perspective what today is all about—finding better treatments and someday a cure for other people just like her."
Thanks a Million!
Thanks a million to Honorary Chair Shayne Graham, and special guest and Cincinnati hometown hero Nick Lachey.
Many thanks also go to the Greater Cincinnati Chapter's own "stars":
The afternoon owes much of its success to the following corporate sponsors:

Science Alive
Animals in the classroom? Yep. We had visitors with fur and scales. Science Alive brought some friendly animals. We pet the worlds softest animal: the Chinchilla. Some of us were persuaded to handle a reptile with no legs. I definitely enjoyed watching the delight and intrigue on kids faces as they saw and touched these animals.

In a commentary entitled "Rutgers law professor Paul Tractenberg is wrong about education aid in New Jersey," Murray Sabrin admits us to the eccentric parallel universe he inhabits.
It is a universe unconstrained by history, longstanding practice, constitutional values, good sense, concern for the welfare of fellow citizens, and common decency.
In Sabrin's parallel universe, courts apparently lack the authority both to review the constitutionality of legislative enactments and to require government officials to abide by their own laws.
In Sabrin's parallel universe, state government should play no role in ensuring that New Jersey's children receive a high-quality, globally competitive education on equal terms regardless of the wealth or poverty of their families and communities.
In Sabrin's parallel universe, the idea that wealthy individuals and communities should be expected to contribute to the state's general welfare is anathema.
In all these respects, Sabrin's parallel universe is starkly different than the real world most of us inhabit.
In the real world, since Marbury v. Madison was decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1803, it has been understood throughout the nation and in most of the rest of the world that courts have the power and duty to strike down legislative enactments that violate constitutional requirements.
In the real world, since 1791 when the 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, education has been deemed a state rather than federal function, and since the middle of the 19th century states have exercised that authority by creating state educational systems.
No principle is more central to education law than that education is ultimately a state, not local, responsibility. Local districts typically exist only as an exercise of legislative discretion.
In the real world, equality of educational opportunity across racial, ethnic and socioeconomic divides has been recognized federally since Brown v. Board of Education was decided by a unanimous U.S. Supreme Court in 1954, and in New Jersey since at least the early 1970's.
In an uninterrupted series of decisions since 1973, the New Jersey Supreme Court has applied the equality principle to school funding and especially to the adequacy of funding in poor urban school districts educating more than 20 percent of all New Jersey students.
In Sabrin's parallel universe, all of this history and longstanding practice, rooted in fundamental constitutional principles, would be swept aside in favor of a totally localized and ultimately selfish and self-defeating approach to education.
To what end does Sabrin advance this proposal, which he himself characterizes as "radical?" Frankly, it's hard to tell. Clearly, it's about letting suburban taxpayers off the hook. They no longer would have to contribute to the support of "big expensive schools in urban districts." At some level it's ideological -- getting us off "the collectivist road."
Is one of Sabrin's purposes to get us on another road, the road to privatizing education? He doesn't come out and say that explicitly, but he makes a curious reference to "[o]ther interested parties [who] will subsidize the cost of education."
Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million gift to Newark has focused attention on the degree to which hedge fund and venture capital billionaires have been quietly supporting educational entrepreneurship. They have been referred to as the "billionaire boys' club," and they are overwhelmingly white and male. That's a story for another day, however.
My venture into Sabrin-world was triggered by an op-ed I published in the Record on April 3 and his response. The op-ed was about the school funding issues before the New Jersey Supreme yet again and how the court might respond. About that, there are three quick points I want to make, which relate to Sabrin's commentary.
First, despite overblown and misleading rhetoric, what's at issue before the court is the state's underfunding, by almost 20 percent, of its own statutory school funding law. This is not a court-created funding plan, and the plaintiffs are asking the court simply to engage in "strict construction" of a three-year-old statute that the state committed itself to fully fund.
It's the Christie administration that is asking the court to engage in judicial activism, by deciding to what degree less than full funding is constitutionally permissible based on the state's budgetary arguments.
Second, this case is no longer about the poor urban "Abbott" districts versus the rest of the state. The 2008 funding law spread the money around to virtually all districts, including many wealthy suburban districts. Those districts have been hit hard by the state's underfunding and will receive substantial additional state dollars if the court orders full funding.
Indeed, of 205 districts currently spending below the statutorily defined "adequacy" level, only 18, or less than 9 percent, are Abbott districts and 187, more than 90 percent. are not. So, to the extent, there are competing constituencies now it's those who favor giving 1.35 million public school children an excellent education versus those who have other priorities.
Third, in his commentary, Sabrin tries to lecture me on the wording of New Jersey's education clause. He manages to quote it accurately, but to contribute nothing to an understanding of its meaning. The clause does refer to a "thorough and efficient system of free public schools," not to a "thorough and efficient education."
Had Sabrin done his homework, he would have discovered that I authored an article in the Stanford Journal of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties about three years ago on the proper interpretation of the education clause and our failure to focus adequately on the words "efficient" and "system."
My point was that without an efficient state system of schools we probably can't assure all our students a "thorough" education. In that context, Sabrin's suggestion of eliminating the state's role in education would seem to violate the "system" requirement and to raise serious questions about the efficiency requirement.
Indeed, if I had to single out two ways in which our state public school system is patently and colossally inefficient, they would be:
That we have persisted in maintaining more than 600 independent school districts, many of them too small to be educationally or fiscally efficient and some of them too small to operate even a single school. Over the past 60 years, the number of school districts in the United States has shrunk from more than 75,000 to about 15,000; in New Jersey we actually have significantly more school districts now than we did then.
That for at least half a century we have very rarely fully funded our statutory school finance formulas. Is there anything less efficient than trying to operate an educational system when schools and districts are left uncertain about how much money they will have to spend during the upcoming school year until the state budget is struck late in June? There's a reason states adopt school funding laws with statutory formulas built into them – it's to try to ensure predictability of funding so schools and districts can decide in a rational manner how to staff up and what programs they can afford to offer on a multi-year basis. In New Jersey, what has happened annually is that, in the privacy of legislative budget caucuses, deals are cut about how much funding (or underfunding) of the statutory formula there will be for the next year with little regard for the legislature's own funding formulas or for the educational effectiveness and efficiency of New Jersey schools.
So, let's get real Murray Sabrin, Governor Christie and New Jersey legislators! If we truly want to move our state forward, let's not shortchange our children and then try to justify it by angry rhetoric and simplistic ideological claims.
At least let's behave responsibly and honestly. If you believe that a three-year-old law providing a school funding formula for all New Jersey's children, adopted after elaborate study and debate, was ill-conceived, imprudent or educationally unnecessary, at least have the guts to stand up and say so, and move to amend or repeal it.
If you think the problem is that the state's education clause places on us a responsibility to our children that we can't afford, have the guts to stand up and say so, and move to amend or repeal it.
Then at least we'll know where we stand.

In a slight change of tune regarding cell phone use, the International Agency for Research on Cancer announced today that radiation from cell phones can possibly cause cancer. The agency is the cancer arm of the World Health Organization.
The WHO now lists cell phone use in the same "carcinogenic hazard" category (category 2B) as lead, DDT, gasoline engine exhaust, and chloroform.
Before today's announcement, WHO reassured consumers that no adverse health effects had actually been observed.
After a team of 31 scientists from 14 countries reviewed other peer-reviewed studies on cell phone safety, the team found enough evidence to categorize cell phone exposure as being "possibly carcinogenic to humans."
"The biggest problem we have is that we know most environmental factors take several decades of exposure before we really see the consequences," says Dr. Keith Black, chairman of neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A.
Cell phone emit what's called "non-ionizing" radiation, which is not like that of an X-ray, but is instead more like that of a very weak microwave oven.
"What microwave radiation does in most simplistic terms is similar to what happens to food in microwaves, essentially cooking the brain. So in addition to leading to a development of cancer and tumors, there could be a whole host of other effects like cognitive memory function, since the memory temporal lobes are where we hold our cell phones."
This is a movement that has been gaining momentum over the years, to be sure.
The European Environmental Agency has been lobbying for additional studies, saying that cell phones could be as harmful to humans as smoking or asbestos.
Results from the largest international study on cell phones and cancer risks were made available to the pblic last year. That study indicated that participants who used a cell phones for more than 10 years had doubled the rate of brain glioma, a type of tumor.
That study was controversial because it started with people who already had cancer and asked them to try and remember how often they used their cellphones more than ten years ago.
So far, no one has done any studies on the effects of cell phone usage among kids.
"Childrens' skulls and scalps are thinner. So the radiation can penetrate deeper into the brain of children and young adults. Their cells are dividing faster rate, so the impact of radiation can be much larger." said Black.
Interestingly enough, many cell phone manufacturers already warn users to keep their devices away fro their heads.
Apple's iPhone 4 safety manual, for example, advises that users' radiation exposure not exceed FCC guidelines.
"When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep iPhone at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body."
According to Cancer Research U.K., the only health danger associated with cell phones is a higher risk of car accidents. The group says children under the age of 16 should only use cell phones for critical phone calls as their brains and nervous systems are still developing.
In a separate study, the U.S. National Institutes of Health found that cell phone usage can accelerate brain activity, but it is not known whether or not that may have any dangerous health effects.

The Harris Corp.'s VIDA network and OpenSky technology were used successfully as the communications backbone for the recent G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh, the company announced.
Using Harris technology, the Pennsylvania's STARNet system allowed federal agencies, state and local police — along with Allegheny County, the city of Pittsburgh and emergency medical personnel — to use a single communications tool.
"The G-20 Summit was the kind of event where the PA-STARNet system provided the critical ability for federal, state and local officials to communicate in order to maintain public safety," said Charlie Brennan, deputy secretary for the Pennsylvania Office of Public Safety Radio Services. "PA-STARNet is a robust statewide network and our G-20 experience demonstrated the system's tremendous capability."
The PA-STARNet system processed more than 100,000 calls during the G-20 Summit, according to the Pennsylvania Office of Public Safety Radio Services. The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) Department was the largest user of the system, relying on the network to coordinate communications between police on the ground and PSP helicopters and airplanes.
"Pennsylvania's vision for integrated and interoperable public safety communications was put to the test during the G-20 Summit, which brought thousands of people to the Pittsburgh area," said Chuck Dougherty, president of Harris Public Safety and Professional Communications. "Our VIDA and OpenSky technology, which is the heart of the PA-STARNet system, met the challenge."
