Under New York state law, a confession can be enough to convict someone as long as authorities can establish that a crime occurred.
False confessions are a longstanding legal phenomenon. Examples range from the more than 200 people who came forward to claim to kidnapping the infant son of aviator Charles Lindbergh in the 1930s to the 2006 episode in which a man falsely said he'd killed JonBenet Ramsey, the 6-year-old beauty queen found dead in her parents' Colorado home a decade earlier.
Fishbein said he planned to have expert witnesses explain why people sometimes admit to crimes they didn't commit.
"It's a hard concept to understand. But it's a reality. And it's a scary reality," Fishbein said.
Asked whether Hernandez still believes his confession, the attorney answered, "He's pleading not guilty."
From the outset, Hernandez's his wife, Rosemary, told investigators that he had a history of hallucinations, said an attorney representing the family, Robert Gottlieb.
The wife and the couple's daughter, Becky, "have lived with him and seen firsthand that type of behavior," Gottlieb told reporters outside court.
"They support him 1,000 percent," the lawyer added. "They don't believe the so-called confession."
Etan's parents had a court declare the boy legally dead more than a decade ago, allowing them to sue convicted child molester Jose Ramos in the boy's death.
Ramos was found responsible — a ruling made because he didn't entirely cooperate with questioning during the lawsuit — but it's unclear how that finding could now factor into the prosecution of Hernandez.
Ramos, now 69, had been dating the boy's baby sitter in 1979 and was considered a suspect. He was later convicted of molesting two different children and was in prison in Pennsylvania prison for more than a quarter-century.
Ramos had been scheduled to be released last week, but he was immediately rearrested on a charge of failing to register properly as a sex offender; authorities said he'd lied about where he planned to live, giving an address a relative vacated long ago. He was ordered to stand trial Thursday for allegedly providing authorities with a bogus address.
Etan's father, Stanley Patz, said Wednesday that the family wasn't commenting on the case.

Curing/Firing Further Explained
james, just wanted to understand your curing schedule a little better and thought i would start a new thread as the other one took a big turn into the properties of concrete. here is what you posted:
To be safe, here is a good curing schedule.
1. Let the oven sit for a week or so after you have finished the dome.
2. Run a series of seven fires, starting with a small, newspaper-only fire.
3. Increase the size of the fire each day by about 100F
4. Let the oven fall back to cool as soon as you reach the temperature you want. It is important to bring the oven up to heat gently, then back down to cold, each time.
5. If you don't have an infrared thermometer, try this schedule:
Newspaper only
Newspaper and a little kindling
1 stick of 2"x3"X16" wood
2 sticks of wood
3 sticks of wood
4 sticks of wood
5 sticks of wood
my questions:
let's say it's day one (the first fire) and i'm trying to achieve 200f per your schedule.
1. using an ir thermometer, what part of the oven do i use to get my 200f reading from - the dome top, walls, floor? assuming it is the first fire and i use the top of the dome, the walls and floor will be much, much cooler, no?
2. once the first fire reaches 200f and i let it naturally burn/cool down, am i done for the day or do i repeat the process throughout the day, i.e., start another small fire, let it reach 200f and let it burn/cool down again?
3. during the 7 day curing process do i use the oven door at the end of each day (or fire) to maintain whatever heat the oven has absorbed?
4. as the days progress and i incrementally increase the heat of the oven per your schedule, is it important that i try to evenly distribute the embers so that i am exposing as many areas of the oven to the heat as possible? does it make a difference if i start each fire at the same floor location, say front/center of the oven, for each daily firing - or would i be better served starting each new fire at different locations on the floor?
5. once i am up and running i will maintain my fires on the left side of my oven while reserving the middle and right for cooking. should this be taken into consideration during the curing/firing process? in other words, would it be better to expose the left side of my oven to the majority of heat during the curing process by building the fires on that side?
i very much look forward to any responses!
Re: Curing/Firing Further Explained
if points 1-5 have been addressed in another thread, could someone be kind enough to provide a link (as i couldn't find this info) - it would be very much appreciated.
Re: Curing/Firing Further Explained
This guy had some good points i think.. I just built a pretty hot fire in place of my 6 or 700 degreeer, and as much as you tell yourself, she'll crack.. I expect cracks.. Cracks are normal, natural, expected, welcome.. It's still scary to see cracks in the oven you built..
Re: Curing/Firing Further Explained
Relax you are over thinking this rather simple process.
Some basic elements that are important are
1. Start the fires small
2. Try to keep heat even, using the door certainly will not hurt and I think a good idea.
3. Ideally the masonry should dry as evenly as possible.
You can also use a small forced air space heater (on low) and let it run continually over several days. This in my opinion is the ideal curing method nice even slow heat.
James-The "NECESSITY" of cooling down between fires is not something I have heard can you explain...
Re: Curing/Firing Further Explained
Yes, I too am puzzling over the cycling approach, especially given my refractory mortar manufacturer's recommendations - see my post at http://www.fornobravo.com/forum/16/o...ramp#post12790 (Oven Curing) for details.
I like the idea of a small fan heater to dry things out initially - I used such a heater to dry the Cal Sil sheets after they got a bit damp due to condensation dripping off the plastic sheet. Worked well but it did take a long time, I recall.

Kiss a frog? Veterinarians say "No"
By Gary Bogue
Monday, December 14th, 2009 at 7:43 am in Frogs.
How about a little kiss? (Bullfrog photo by Brian Murphy, Walnut Creek, CA)
In the movies, kissing a frog can result in a prince. But, as the disclaimer often says, "Do not try this at home."
Frogs, like all amphibians and reptiles, can be a source of Salmonella infections in people. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians (ARAV) are reminding the public that instead of a prince, improper handling of amphibians and reptiles — and that includes kissing a frog — can result in a nasty illness.
Frogs passing on Salmonella to people recently made headlines when the CDC reported on Dec. 7 that water frogs were the source of 48 cases of human Salmonella infections in 25 states in 2009.
Pacific treefrog photo by Brian Murphy, Walnut Creek, CA
While the majority of illnesses were reported in children less than 10 years of age, the AVMA and ARAV are encouraging people with pet amphibians and reptiles to think twice before finding new homes for their pets if they have, or are expecting, children in their households. Instead, safe handling and some common-sense precautions can prevent illness.
"Individuals who have pet amphibians and reptiles really just need to be conscientious about the care of these animals," says Dr. Mark Mitchell, associate professor of zoological medicine at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. "Certainly there is a risk associated with keeping them in their house, but it's no different then the risks associated with cooking chicken or eating raw vegetables. We need to understand that there are potential concerns, and we need to follow through by practicing appropriate hygiene.
"Just like any potential risk, we need to be aware of it so we can protect against it becoming a problem."
Dr. Mitchell stresses the importance of hand washing after handling amphibians and reptiles to prevent the spread of Salmonella. In addition, amphibians and reptiles, and anything that comes in contact with these animals, such as housing or cages, should not be cleaned in areas where people prepare their food or clean themselves, such as tabletops, sinks, or bathtubs.
The AVMA has developed a complete list of tips on how amphibian and reptile owners can protect themselves and their families from Salmonella infections. These tips are available on the AVMA's Web site at http://www.avma.org/public_health/salmonella/amphibians.asp.
This Web page also includes links to resources from other organizations, such as the ARAV, U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

American Idol
American Idol Judges: Who Are the Best and Worst Of All Time?
If you had to pick from all of the American Idol judges over the past twelve seasons, who would be your favorites? Who would you go back and never cast on the show because they sucked so badly? We have our picks to share, but we'd love to know yours!
Worst American Idol Judges:
Ellen DeGeneres -- TV personality. Comedienne. Wife of Portia De Rossi. American Idol judge? Yeah, it still seems like it was a dream, doesn't it? Or maybe a nightmare. Joining the cast for its ninth season, many were scratching their heads as to why the comic would be asked to join a reality show singing competition.
Everyone knew she was a huge fan but, other than that, we were left wondering what qualified her for the relatively prestigious position. She seemed set on changing that way of thinking, adding her two cents in her signature funny way for the first few episodes. She quickly lost steam, though, and almost seemed uncomfortable occupying the chair.
In the end, she walked away from a five year contract and reportedly tens of millions of dollars because it wasn't the "right fit." And, as the person we've named as the worst American Idol judge in their 12 seasons, we thank her for that.
In the runner-up spot is Steven Tyler, who, by the end his run on the show, only seemed to wake up when someone took the stage in a short skirt and/or low cut top.
Best American Idol Judges
Much like Ellen, Steven started out strong, reviving the show with his signature sound (or scream) and funny sayings. By the end, though, it almost seemed like he sent a dummy of himself along a la Weekend at Bernie's. At times, viewers (and probably his fellow American Idol judges!) probably wondered whether he was alive. To boot, he offered some solid critiques at the beginning of his Idol run but, by the conclusion, he might as well have said, "pass."
When it comes to choosing the best judge in American Idol history, we're going to have to call a tie between Simon Cowell and Nicki Minaj. Again, one has to consider the early Simon to understand, as he could barely contain his own disdain for the show by the end. In the early years, however, his tough critiques coupled with his barely contained flirtation with the loopy Paula Abdul were the equivalent of TV magic. Oh, how we miss that.
Right now, we're calling it a tie between Simon and Nicki -- however, if you come back in five years and Nicki is still there (and the show is still on!), we truly think she has what it takes to surpass the acerbic Simon.
We were skeptical at first due to the much hyped (and ultimately lame) drama between the rapper and resident diva Mariah Carey. However, once we got beyond that, we realized how much we love her passion for the music and the kids, her hilarious "Nickinames," and the tough love she bestows on these hopefuls in the name of constructive criticism. Quite frankly, we're beginning to adore her.
Who would you pick as the best Idol judge? And who has been the worst?

Tag: Europe
Market Week: June 17, 2013
The Markets Investors already on edge about the future of central bank efforts around the globe seemed unnerved by the Bank of Japan's decision not to expand economic stimulus efforts there and arguments over a German court challenge to the European Central Bank's ability to aid weaker eurozone members.
Market Week: June 10, 2013
The Markets All's well that ends well: After losing 217 points on Wednesday, the Dow came roaring back with a 207-point gain two days later. Despite all the volatility, domestic equities managed minimal gains for the week across all four indices. Investors seemed reassured that the unemployment rate showed continued stabilization of the economy but […]
Market Week: June 3, 2013
The Markets Whether it was "sell in May, go away" sentiment finally showing up or concern that the Fed might be closer to winding down economic support, investors decided to take profits last week, especially in the large, dividend-paying stocks of the Dow and S&P 500. As anxiety about potential future Fed action continued to […]
Market Week: April 15, 2013
The Markets Despite a brief slide early on Friday, the Nasdaq and S&P 500 had their strongest week since the first of the year, and both the S&P and Dow industrials continued to set new all-time highs. Meanwhile, gold, which had been slipping for months, plummeted more than 4% on Friday into official bear market […]
Market Week: April 8, 2013
The Markets The Dow industrials and the S&P 500 set new record closing highs on Tuesday. Unfortunately, it was mostly downhill after that as investors looking for a reason to take profits found them in a disappointing jobs report, fresh geopolitical tension, and mixed manufacturing data.
Market Week: April 1, 2013
The Markets Domestic equities returned to their winning ways after the previous week's downdraft. The S&P 500 finally squeaked past its October 2007 closing high, setting a new record close–by four points–on the quarter's last trading day.
Market Week: February 25, 2013
The Markets Equities spent Friday trying to recover from downdrafts earlier in the week. The Dow industrials managed to squeak back to 14,000, but the other domestic indices reacted more strongly to Fed discussions of how to wind down its bond-buying program. It was the first down week for the S&P 500 so far this […]
Market Week: February 19, 2013
The Markets Equities markets generally spent a second week digesting January's strong gains. The Dow continued to flirt with the 14,000 mark, while neither the small-cap Russell 2000 nor the S&P 500 have had a negative week so far this year.
Market Week: February 11, 2013
The Markets After suffering its first triple-digit loss of the year on Monday, the Dow fought to hang on to the prior week's 14,000 level but in the end just couldn't manage to do so. The other domestic indices managed minimal gains, and the S&P 500 hit its highest level since November 2007. Meanwhile, the […]
Market Week: January 14, 2013
The Markets Equities didn't match the prior week's fireworks, but they still posted gains in the new year's second week. The S&P 500 hit a five-year high for the second week in a row. However, the Global Dow soundly beat all four domestic indices for the week, in part because of encouraging retail sales in […]

Sheriff Babeu cleared in abuse of power probe
PHOENIX - Paul Babeu has been cleared in a state investigation into whether he abused his authority as sheriff of Pinal County, after his former boyfriend who is a Mexican immigrant accused Babeu of threatening him.
State Solicitor General Dave Cole said Friday that nothing indicates Babeu misused his authority or public money to harass or intimidate Jose Orozco, and Cole declined to file criminal charges in the case. He also exonerated Orozco, whom Babeu accused of property and identity theft in the handling of the sheriff's Twitter account and other websites.
Babeu had asked the attorney general's office earlier this year to look into Orozco's claims. Cole oversaw the seven-month investigation to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest on the part of Attorney General Tom Horne.
``The truth has won out in the end,'' Babeu said in a statement. ``I was attacked personally, professionally and politically with these false allegations, and today, I'm fully cleared. It's not surprise that these attacks came during an election year in a failed attempt to destroy me.''
Orozco's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The sheriff, who recently won the Republican nomination in his re-election bid, had pulled out of the race for a congressional seat after news broke of his falling out with Orozco. The two met online in 2006 and had an on-again, off-again relationship.
Babeu, known for his hardline stance on illegal immigration and border security, was considered a strong candidate in the 4th Congressional District. He said he decided to seek another term as sheriff because his deputy could not run and to keep a promise to constituents that he would maintain a continuity of leadership.
Orozco had volunteered to work with Babeu's campaign and maintained his websites until Babeu hired a consultant to take them over. Even then, Babeu said Orozco was hesitant to hand over passwords and domain names. Orozco told authorities he worked hard on the website as an unpaid volunteer and wasn't about to turn it over to a paid consultant.
The attorney general's office had considered filing harassment and other charges against Orozco but determined that prosecution of misdemeanor counts wouldn't be a good use of resources.
Babeu said he asked Orozco to keep private the details of their personal relationship. Babeu acknowledged he is gay after a picture of him shirtless was posted on a gay dating website.
Babeu still faces another inquiry from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. That office is looking into whether Babeu and his top aides violated the federal Hatch Act, which makes it illegal for certain government workers to participate in political activities.

Large dynamic stresses are induced in the fuel components of fast-burst, or pulse, reactors because of rapid fission heating. These stresses increase more than linearly with burst energy yield and, at some yield, will cause fuel failure. Despite many attempts, no one has yet succeeded in predicting a fuel damage threshold with useful certainty in the reactor design stage, nor has the maximum fuel stress for a given power pulse in an operating reactor been calculated satisfactorily. Some analytic solutions for the burst dynamic behavior of typical fuel components that are consistent with available fuel displacement measurements are discussed. In particular, an analytic function is introduced for stress-vibration excitation of fuel components by the bell-shaped power pulse of a reactor burst. These solutions can be employed to determine fuel damage thresholds with useful certainty. Also, a new approach is presented for the analysis of prompt burst power transients by employing fuel displacement solutions to derive dynamic reactivity quench for use in power calculations.

He is really smart, well "educated" and in general he seems to be ok. the only issue is his body colour, in fact Golia is tan, with some withe over the chest and fingers, and some brown spots on the shoulders. is it normal? I mean, I will never change Golia for this, but I would like to know if in the world there are some ore tan JRT.

A new study published this week in the journal Nature reveals for the first time how the mixing of cold, deep waters from below can change sea surface temperatures on seasonal and longer timescales.
Because this occurs in a huge region of the ocean that takes up heat from the atmosphere, these changes can influence global climate patterns, particularly global warming.

Lincoln, RI (PRWEB) January 07, 2014
With winter now in full swing, many people will rely on snow blowers to clear snow from driveways and sidewalks. But these machines can lead to injury or even death, so Amica Insurance is sharing tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), injuries most often occur when people use their hands to remove snow from the blower's discharge chute. In some cases, people have died after getting caught in the machine, while others have suffered carbon monoxide poisoning from running the blower in an enclosed space for too long.
That's why Amica is sharing the following tips from the CPSC for the proper use of snow blowers:

China closing the tech gap?
- Related Stories

Tech professionals group wary of offshoringMarch 18, 2004
China's new dynastyJuly 9, 2002
Alternately, the authoritarian country faces key hurdles in its quest to transform into an innovator, including its lack of free speech.
Both arguments were made here on Thursday at a meeting of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a 12-member panel set up in 2000 to advise the U.S. Congress.
A group of Silicon Valley business leaders and academics from around the country gave varied accounts of China's high-technology development and how the United States should respond to maintain its tech leadership.
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry expressed doubts that China's rise as a tech powerhouse will carry over to it making its own breakthroughs. Perry, now a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, told members of the commission that it appears China is not engaging in fundamental research and lacks a culture that encourages innovation.Trained like the Taiwanese
"What I see from China today is product development," Perry said.
Carl Everett, a partner at venture capital firm Accel Partners, offered a different view. He argued that Chinese technologists are gaining expertise in much the same way the Taiwanese did prior to becoming experts in semiconductor manufacturing. "In the future, China will provide a substantial amount of innovation in our industry," Everett said. "They are being trained today just as the Taiwanese were trained in the 1970s."
In the past few years, China has emerged as a major player in the computer industry. Chinese companies such as Lenovo, which is buying IBM's PC division, are seeking to expand their presence in the world market. In addition, many U.S. tech companies are establishing research centers in China. China's growing technology economy is part of a broader pattern of tech work being shipped abroad that worries some U.S. labor advocates.
Although China's economy has been expanding quickly, doing business there has its hazards, according to Alan Wong, senior counsel for chipmaker Nvidia. Wong, a former U.S. State Department official who stressed that he was not speaking on behalf of Nvidia, said he has heard that China requires companies to use an encryption system to which the government retains a key. The result, he suggested, is that corporate intellectual property may be at risk when data is zapped in and out of the country. "My assumption is anything you put in there, the government can have," Wong said.
Wong also suggested national security may be a real issue in reviewing China's technological growth. "In an effort to assure Western companies that power sources and road access to a given site will be plentiful and well-maintained, Chinese promoters sometimes let slip that infrastructure in the area will receive consistent support and priority because the government wants to attract certain technologies that can be used in the Chinese defense and military industries," Wong said in written testimony to the commission.

- China will surpass the US
- if they think that the Chinese will be unable to innovate in the near future. One only needs to look at Japan, Taiwan and South Korea to see just how stupid that line of thinking is.
Additionally, Government-assisted industrial espionage isn't anything new. France has always had a law that requires all companies doing business in France to use their own French encryption. And... Suprise! Surprise! They have the keys too!
Yes, China is still a Communist country that reguates much of its citizen's form of free speech, but they have two intangibles that can quickly overcome that:
1) They have the hunger to be the best in Asia, and then the world.
2) They are also pragmatic. If it will make money, they will do it.
With today's porous borders, it isn't hard for someone to make money in China, and retire elsewhere in comfort.

- As per the above subject line - one should consider international business as just international business... why should some people in some countries be willing to just through their hands up in the air at the first sign of impending social, economic, technological and scientific challenges (after all after a tornado, an earthquake, a tsuname, a hurrricane... the survivors pick themselves up and attempt to continue with their live again).

- You still believe in corporate [America]?
- It left us a few years ago. It's now "Global Corporations". Meaning they have no allegiance to any country. They have there very own deity call "The Business". This deity drives their decisions, and relives them of any ethical troubles. The head of Intel says in one breath, you need better education, and then in the next breath, if you don't reduce taxes, I'll build my next plant in another country, like I've all ready done. We're selling out America, and China is buying! It's a different world with Global trade. New rules are being made as we go. Economists are stymied because they have no tried and proven models to work from. Those that predict either doom or prosperity are just guessing. I hope for prosperity, but have very little faith in the Ken Lays of the US.

- Closing the Tech Gap
- China is obviously closing the tech gap with the US --- but unless it changes its political systems, never can it surpass the US.
Innovation requires freedom as the principal ingredient --- and this is sorely lacking in China; and to certain extent even the rest of the Asian countries.
China can continue to copy, steal and be a good follower of the West. It's very unique character of a bully in Asia will prevent itself from ever becoming a respected nation of innovation.

- Totalitarian Governments Can Innovate Too
- Someone above said that China (and other Asian countries) will
never match US levels of innovation because they aren't free/
democracies. On what do you base that premise?
Germany before World Wars I and II was widely acknowleged to
be putting every other country on Earth in it's rearview mirrors,
in both science/technical developments as well as industrial
engineering prowess. The British weren't matching them, and
neither were we. Our huge resource base - in men and material
- is what eventually provided the means to win out against them
in both world wars - NOT some innate technical or scientific
The same could be said about Imperial Japan in the run up to
WWII. They certainly started out that war ahead of us, in terms of
technical design of many weapons, and absolute numbers of
those weapons produced. It was only years later, after we had
mobilized and used government economic decrees to fight the
war itself, that our technical and industrial prowess started to
outstrip theirs. And it can be argued this was possible also
because we were exhausting them with our massive resource
base in the first place, as we did the Germans.
Now consider present day China. They aren't a democracy or
free, but history shows that isn't really necessary for being a
technological innovator OR an industrial powerhouse. Further, in
a head-to-head comparison with the US, it is China which has
the edge in resources now. In terms of people, minerals, ...
almost everything but oil (in which we are both about equally
deficient) ... they are in the position we once had vis a vis the
Germans and Japanese during the years encompassing the world
Is this important? The follwing quote from the article would
seem to indicate that it is:
"Chinese promoters sometimes let slip that ... the government
wants to attract certain technologies that can be used in the
Chinese defense and military industries," Wong said in written
testimony to the commission." Who do you think that defense
capability is supposed to counter? Tiawan? Japan? Or perhaps
their avowed defender - the United States.
I believe in freedom and democracy - it is the best and most
peaceful way for humankind to tend to it's affairs. The Chinese
people would benefit from it just as much as anyone else.
However, it seems to me we should stop waving flags and
spouting platitudes about ourselves here, about our supposed
superiority, and get down to the necessary business of proving it
in deed as well as in word.
Educating our people, investing in infrastructure, R&D, health
care, etc ... supporting other DEMOCRACIES with our economic
cooperation, and doing whatever is necessary to rebuild our
manufacturing base - these are the only things that will ensure
not only the spread to others of these ideals we claim to hold so
dear, but their protection at home as well.
Absent that effort, we will find out - in no uncertain terms - just
how well and how fast this totalitarian Chinese government can
and will innovate their way to international dominance. And
given our current ridiculous trade and economic policies, it will
be totally at our own expense.

- Update: Dynamic Capitalism Without Democracy
- Read this for some more perspective on this issue:
http://slate.msn.com/id/2117169/
These aren't the middle ages anymore. There should be no
doubt that capitalism no longer needs democracy to thrive.
However, unless one believes that 'man can live on dollars
alone', then this in no way means that democracy is no longer
necessary for human progress.
Democracy is the only way known to simultaneously and
effectively protect both the rights of property AND the rights of
liberty. It's continued existence and spread is essential for
humanity to thrive. For that reason, we should be wary of
strengthening any competing system which - either in ideal or in
practice - works to the contrary.

According to E! Online, "friends" Amanda Seyfried & Ryan Phillippe "both are surprised they haven't been caught by the paparazzi" on one of their recent (romantic?) rendezvous. Well forgive us if we don't chase supporting actors from MacGruber around night and day! Anyway, Amanda & Ryan were finally caught together shopping in LA Tuesday. "He was in a baseball cap and she had on a big jacket. They seemed to want to keep a super low profile but looked comfortable around each other." Wait, they were Christmas shopping together but didn't look annoyed? Obviously, they're not really a couple yet.
"I'm not sure if they are exclusive, but I know he likes her a lot," says E!'s source, who should also be aware that Ryan Phillippe likes all young blondes a lot. The pair were also spotted smooching over dinner recently—maybe they can double date with Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift! We can just see all four of them walking hand in hand, back and forth in front of Reese Witherspoon's house.

In Reply to: Chattering Teeth
: I have just returned from my vets' office and was told that my dogs' problem was due to the dyes in the Purina dog bones and to switch to Iams' bones. My dog will have small bouts of his teeth chattering and his nose will run. It lasts only a few seconds, but this has me disturbed. The episodes occur several times a day. Can anyone give me any input? Thanks so very much!!!
If your terrier has these episodes AFTER eating his current brand of dog bone then switching to another brand may very well solve the problem. I suggest you give it a try and see if his symptoms go away.
If his teeth chattering is connected to eating a dog bone and it doesn't stop after changing brands, then you need to go back to the vet. He may have a problem within his mouth that is only affected by chomping down on a dog bone.
If there is no connection between the episodes and your terrier eating a dog bone then you need to start taking notes. Write down anything and everything that was going on with, and around, your terrier prior to his teeth chattering. It may take some time but you will find the connection; hang in there.

NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Friday that he is out of ideas how to get negotiations back on track to save the hockey season. Talks fell apart on Thursday night amid back-and-forth accusations, and the fallout was still being felt Friday. The two sides had no contact with each other on the 83rd day of the owners' lockout of players. ''I have no reason, nor any intention, of reaching out to the union right now,'' Daly said in an email to The Associated Press. ''I have no new ideas. Maybe they do. We are happy to listen.'' If the players do have a suggestion, they haven't offered it yet. Their most recent proposal was turned down quickly on Thursday by the NHL, which wanted a yes or no answer on three specific conditions the league said were non-negotiable. When the union tried to bargain the points, the meeting ended abruptly. That has left the NHL's labor situation in limbo. All games have been canceled through Dec. 14, which is only a week away, so more games will sur...

The HP ProBook 4530s hits the sweet spot. At $729, it offers a durable and sleek brushed-aluminum design, solid security, and Core i5 power for a price that's right. We're not fans of the small arrow keys, and those who want discrete graphics will have to pay more. Overall, though, business users looking for a stylish but seriously powerful laptop need look no further.

There is no panic from the Mississippi State Bulldogs after a week one loss.
The Bulldogs struggled on Saturday as they lost to the No. 13 (Associated Press) Cowboys of Oklahoma State 21-3 in the Advocare Texas Kickoff at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Tex.
There's no better measuring stick for an athletic team than to open the season with a tournament.
The Mississippi State volleyball squad got a big dose of that over the weekend.
HOUSTON – Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen saw his offense find a rhythm early on, but lose it down the stretch Saturday.
The Bulldogs dropped a 21-3 decision to No. 13 (Associated Press) Oklahoma State in the Advocare Texas Kickoff in Reliant Stadium.
HOUSTON – There was a good bit of speculation that the Mississippi State defense could not stand up to the uptempo offensive style of Oklahoma State.
The Bulldog defense held the No. 13 (Associated Press) Cowboys to just 21 points in a 21-3 loss at Reliant Stadium on Saturday.Â
The Cowboys averaged 46 points per game last season.
Mississippi State's volleyball team lost 3-1, on Saturday to Southeast Missouri in four sets.
The Bulldogs are now 2-2 for the season.
Despite the loss, sophomore Taylor Scott notched a double-double with 19 kills and 15 digs. Joining her teammate in the double-double category was freshman Kimmy Gardiner who picked up 15 kills and 21 digs.
A young team can be expected to make a few errors during the course of the season.
For the first time, the Mississippi State Bulldogs were hurt by mistakes during a volleyball match Saturday afternoon in the Maroon Classic and lost a 3-1 decision to the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.

Hi everyone,

Above in yellow is what I found on a web site, Alberta Energy. So, I thought the price would come down. But, what do I know.
Chinese is eyeing (eying) on offshore oil field around Japanese islands. And they are claiming those island are Chinese islands. See recent out break of anti-Japanese demonstrations through out China. There's no one living on those islands and Chinese didn't care at all until there was finding of potential rich oil under there. At least this is my understanding of recent events.
It is very frustrating to me.
The issue is china , and india build oil base nations where the cost of buying a car is cheap , eg 2500 india. It's not the fact that canada etc is producing tar sand oil it.s fact that demand is or soon will over take the supply that can be pumped. Both the usa millarty y and also the german millarty have commission studies that say that 2012 is the year of peak oil production. With Billions of People in China and india being able to pay for car etc you end up with the oil demand vs supply factor in. I really dought that cheap travel is going to around in 20 plus years. You might just have to tow that scooter with a mlule by then.

He immigrated to Palestine in 1935, and served in the Jewish paramilitary group Haganah during the Arab revolt of 1936-39.
He went on to earn a degree in law at University College London and then qualified as a barrister at Lincoln's Inn. He joined the British army during World War II, operating primarily in Germany as a tank commander in the Armoured Division. There, he was given his lifelong nickname of "Vivian" because the British could not pronounce the name, "Chaim". A Jewish soldier had volunteered that "Vivian" was the English equivalent of "Chaim." (Living History, p. 47) He was commissioned into the Intelligence Corps in 1943 and participated in the liberation of several concentration camps as well as identifying a captured German soldier as Heinrich Himmler. He left the Army in 1947 with the rank of Major.
After leaving the army, Herzog opened a private law practice. He returned to public life in 1967, when the Six-Day War broke out, as a military commentator for Kol Israel radio news. Following the capture of the West Bank, he was appointed Military Governor of East Jerusalem, and Judea and Samaria.
In 1972 he went into partnership with Michael Fox and Yaakov Neeman, and established the law firm of Herzog, Fox & Neeman, one of the largest law firms in Israel.
In 1975 Herzog was appointed Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, in which capacity he served until 1978. During his term the UN adopted the "Zionism is Racism" resolution (General Assembly Resolution 3379), which Herzog condemned and symbolically tore up (as his father had done to one of the British white papers regarding the British Mandate in Palestine), saying: "For us, the Jewish people, this resolution based on hatred, falsehood and arrogance, is devoid of any moral or legal value."
In the 1981 elections Herzog entered politics for the first time, winning a seat in the Knesset as a member of the Alignment, the predecessor to the Labour Party.
In 1983 he was elected the sixth President of Israel by the Knesset; he served two five-year terms (then the maximum permitted by Israeli basic law), retiring from political life in 1993. As president of Israel, Herzog made a number of visits abroad, being the first Israeli president to make an official visit to Germany, as well as visiting several far-east countries, Australia, and New Zealand. He was also noted for pardoning the Shin Bet agent involved in the Kav 300 affair.
In 1985 Herzog visited Wesley College Dublin during his State Visit to Ireland, during which he opened the Irish Jewish Museum in Dublin.
Herzog died on 17 April 1997, and is buried on Mount Herzl, Jerusalem.
Herzog controversially reduced the sentences of three imprisoned Jews, Menachem Livni, Uzi Sharbaf and Shaul Nir, members of the Jewish Underground, who were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1985 for the 1984 murder of four Palestinians in the West Bank town of Hebron. Herzog had reduced the sentences, first to 24 years, then to 15 years, and in 1989 he reduced the sentence to 10 years, which enabled the men to be released two years later on good behavior..
Herzog was the brother-in-law of Abba Eban; the men's wives were sisters. He had three children, including Isaac Herzog, currently (2006-) Minister of Social Affairs, Minister of the Diaspora, and a Knesset Member for the Labour Party.
Herzog also authored several books on the historical events in which he was involved, including:

Have you talked to an elementary teacher lately? Have you noticed how hectic their schedule is? Do they look sort of frazzled?
We ask a lot from our teachers. Not only do they have to navigate byzantine bureaucracy, they need to be masters of time management, disciplinarians and diplomats to parents and administration.
By far the biggest challenge for most is the requirement to be subject matter experts on many topics – ranging from social studies and mathematics to English and reading. Now that many states are requiring proficiency in science, the challenge is even greater.
Teaching science alone is a huge endeavor. Expecting a teacher to naturally rise to this challenge is not reasonable. Of course there are teachers who excel at teaching science, but for many, science is an intimidating and difficult subject. Yet, as the nation wakes up to the fact that we are losing the science, technology engineering and mathematics careers to foreign countries, the pressure to raise testing scores and impart knowledge in science is greater than ever.
Teachers need a solid system of teaching that goes beyond administration dictated curriculum. From step by step, clear and concise supplemental materials to professional development and multimedia tools, we can help teachers rise to the challenge and even enjoy the ride.
Many teachers believe the voice in their head that says "I'm just not good at science". This flawed thinking is often channeled to young students. The fact is, with a good system, anyone can master science. The principles are basic. The ideas, universal.
And with the right approach science can be as exciting as a video game. Let's never forget that we need teachers to inspire, guide and support children more than ever. Let's do what we can to support the teachers.
Please share your comments below. How can we help?

UTSA welcomes more young students to camps for look at higher education
(June 16, 2014) -- This week, UTSA welcomes more young students to summer camps across the campuses. The camps help students expand their horizons through hands-on activities and open their minds to opportunities in higher education. More than 8,500 students will participate in camps throughout the summer.
Camps opening this week are the Prefreshman Engineering Program, Archaeology, Architecture, Writing and Flute, with camps continuing in athletics, sciences and performing arts.
As San Antonio's summer camp destination, UTSA is offering 23 camps in June, July and August on topics including science, engineering, architecture, sports, music, writing and language for children and teens.
Each camp offers participants the chance to have fun, make friends and learn something new. For many attendees, it is the first experience at a top-quality institution of higher education. Some camps are free daylong programs, others last a week or two, and some go through the summer.
Camp highlights for this week:
- The Prefreshman Engineering Program (PREP), which has a record enrollment of 1,600 students this summer -- up nearly 35 percent over last year. The camp is for high-achieving middle and high school students interested in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. The sessions provide an academic curriculum to increase students' potential for careers in these areas. Established in 1979 at UTSA by mathematics professor Manuel Berriozabal, PREP has an impressive track record with nearly 16,000 students completing at least one summer component. The program has been replicated across the state as TexPREP and across the nation as PREP-USA. Overall, PREP programs have served more than 34,000 students. The college attendance of PREP graduates is 80 percent.
- The Office of P-20 Initiatives will coordinate a rocket launch science project with students on Friday, June 20.
- The Summer Academy in Architecture and Interior Design is about design disciplines and the careers of architects and interior designers.
- With presentations and hands-on activities, the Archaeology of Africa camp presented through the Center for Archaeological Research Legacy program will cover the cultural histories of Ancient Egypt, Roman occupations in Africa, the Great Kingdom of Zimbabwe, the Ghana Empire and more.
- The San Antonio Writing Project Young Writer's Camp offers full and half-day sessions all week for incoming fourth through 12th graders who love to write. Session 2 is June 23-27.
For details on costs, registration and other information, visit the UTSA Summer Camps website with a listing of all UTSA camps and links to find the one that's just right for you and your child.

Sheriff Arpaio requests investigation into President Obama's 1980 registration card
PHOENIX -- Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has sent a letter to the Director of the U.S. Selective Service System headquarters in Arlington, Virginia requesting the agency to conduct an investigation into Barack Obama's Selective Service registration form from 1980.
This comes after the preliminary findings of Arpaio's six- month investigation that determined it may a forgery.
The letter also asks for an original form so forensic document examiners can analyze the document for authenticity.
Apraio claims he is just doing his job, and isn't targeting the president.
"I'm not accusing anyone right now of any violation of law," Arpaio said. "However when you look at the birth certificate and the selective service form I think there's pretty good evidence that there's a possible forgery."
Arpaio is asking for a response within 30 days. If no response is given, he will then decide if his office will move forward with its own investigation.
"While my office will continue pursuing this investigation, I have spoken of the need to enlist the aid of other agencies," Arpaio said. "As a first step to that end, I am now requesting the assistance of the U.S. Selective Service System asking them to conduct a concurrent investigation to verify the authenticity of this document."

TEMPE, Arizona Mike Meyer saw what you saw in 2011. He didn't like it any better than you did.
The Iowa kicker got off to a fabulous start, hitting on 12 of his first 14 field goals. He seemed to be on track to challenge for all-Big Ten and maybe beyond. And what a boost that would've been for Iowa's special teams, which, outside of punter, has been a shaky proposition the last few seasons.
Then, the sophomore missed a 24-yarder at Minnesota. The Hawkeyes went on to lose, 22-21, and Meyer has been in a funk since, hitting just 2 of his final 6 field goals this season.
Confidence has been an issue.
"It's easy to lose confidence," said Meyer, who's 28 of 37 (76 percent) in his two seasons. "Minnesota was that game. That game might've dropped, but I think focus was part of it. I've been working on it a lot. That's been the main thing I've been working on."
Touchbacks also have been missing from Meyer's freshman year to this season. In 2010, Meyer had 15 touchbacks; this year he's had just had four. That shows up with a kick coverage team that has been inconsistent all season.
"I've been thinking about that, too," he said. "I kind of switched up how I kick, but I can't blame it all on that. I think consistency is a big indicator in that."
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz backed Meyer after the Minnesota game and has all season, but after tonight's Insight Bowl, it's 2012. Iowa has competition at kicker.
Trent Mossbrucker will be a senior scholarship player next season. Marshall Koehn, a walk-on from Solon, will be a redshirt freshman.
Meyer sees them coming and knows he's going to have to be more consistent.
"It's been a fight to keep the job this year, too," Meyer said. "Trent is a really good kicker, a veteran. It'll be a good offseason with a lot of competition."
Home on the weakside
Since he broke into the lineup as a true freshman, James Morris has hovered around middle linebacker. He started six games there in 2010. He began 2011 as the No. 1 middle linebacker, starting six of the first seven games there.
Then, he got hurt, suffering a high-ankle sprain against Penn State. He sat out the next week against Northwestern. Senior Tyler Nielsen stepped in and made 12 tackles.
For the last five games, Nielsen has taken over the middle and Morris has moved to the weakside.
For Morris, is it a preview of 2012?
"I feel like right now I'm pretty comfortable there," Morris said. "I have the knowledge to play both positions. That's something I've done and that's something [linebackers] coach [Darrell] Wilson has asked us to do.
"Switching positions again I don't think would be a huge issue. I'll play wherever they need me to play."
The 2012 linebacker depth chart will include Morris and fellow sophomore Christian Kirksey. Does Iowa have a middle linebacker in the wings?
Morris could slide back into the middle. He'll be closer to the optimum 235 pounds for Iowa MLB. Other logical candidates include sophomore Anthony Hitchens, who's 2011 had a hole punched in it because of a knee injury, and freshman Quinton Alston, who'll miss the Insight with a knee issue.
Quick Slants
– For the last couple of years, Nationalchamps.net has made itself the first top 25 forecast for the next season. Its 2012 rankings came out this week.
The site has Iowa at No. 35 in 2012, behind Texas Tech and ahead of Utah. LSU is the No. 1 team with Alabama and USC behind the Tigers.
No Big Ten teams are listed in the top 10. Wisconsin is the top, coming in at No. 14 with Michigan State (15), Michigan (18), Nebraska (20) and Ohio State (24) joining the Badgers in the top 25. Penn State is listed No. 31.
– The Hawkeyes have started a different running back in each of their three-bowl winning streak. In two of those three games, an Iowa running back earned the offensive MVP award.
In the 2008 Outback Bowl, Shonn Greene capped a record-setting season with 121 yards and three TDs in Iowa's dismantling of South Carolina. Before he walked off the field, Greene announced he would leave Iowa early for the NFL draft.
Former Iowa defensive end Adrian Clayborn won the 2010 Orange Bowl MVP, but then-freshman Brandon Wegher gained 113 yards on 16 carries and clinched Iowa's 24-14 victory over Georgia Tech with a 32-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. Wegher left the team before the 2010 season started and is now out of football.
In last year's Insight Bowl, Marcus Coker stepped in for suspended Adam Robinson and rushed for 219 yards and two TDs while earning offensive MVP. Robinson eventually was dismissed from Iowa after drug possession arrest. He is at Minnesota -Duluth, an NCAA Division II school
After gaining 1,384 yards and scoring 15 TDs for the Hawkeyes this season, Coker was suspended for this year's Insight after an unspecified violation of the UI's student-athlete Code of Conduct.
Iowa athletics director Gary Barta said this week the door is open for Coker, who'd be a junior at Iowa next year, to return to the Hawkeyes next season.
– Junior quarterback James Vandenberg is in his first bowl start. In Iowa's six bowl victories, the quarterback has won the bowl MVP award just once.
Here is a list of Iowa bowl MVPs during the Kirk Ferentz era:
2001 Alamo Defense: DT Derrick Pickens (INT that led to FG). Offense: RB Aaron Greving (115 yards, TD)
2004 Outback Bowl Overall: RB Fred Russell (150 yards, TD)
2005 Capital One Defense: DT Jonathan Babineaux. Offense: Drew Tate (20 of 32 for 287, two TDs)
2009 Outback Overall: RB Shonn Greene (121 yards, three TDs)
2010 Orange Overall: DE Adrian Clayborn (nine tackles, two sacks)
2010 Insight Bowl Defense: CB Micah Hyde (72-yard INT return for TD to win it). Offense: RB Marcus Coker (219 yards, two TDs)

Dark Horse Comics has published the English version of Dylan Dog. It is also published in Croatia under Ludens,Serbia under Veseli Cetvrtak, and in Denmark under Shadow Zone Media.
Dylan Dog is a penniless nightmare investigator who defies the whole preceding horror tradition with a vein of surrealism and an anti-bourgeois rhetoric. The true monsters in many of these stories are human beings.
The series is mainly set in London, where the protagonist lives, though he occasionally travels elsewhere. His clothes are one of his defining characteristics: he always dresses the same way, in a red shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans. He bought twelve identical outfits after the death of his wife Lillie Connolly on the advice of Inspector Bloch, who was his superior when he worked at Scotland Yard and remains his father figure (in fact he calls Dylan "Old boy") even after Dylan struck out on his own to become a private investigator specializing in the supernatural. Inspector Bloch is one of the principal supporting characters in the series, together with his assistant (or rather, comic relief), Groucho, a punning double of Groucho Marx.
Dylan lives with Groucho at 7 Craven Road in a cluttered apartment with a doorbell that screams. His hobbies include playing the clarinet and constructing model ship; he has many phobias, including claustrophobia, bats and heights. Dylan is also particularly susceptible to motion sickness, which is one of the reasons why he rarely travels. Once an alcoholic, he now almost never drinks, though many of the most entertaining moments in the comic occur when Groucho forces him to take shots. He is a vegetarian. He's also a hopeless romantic who loves and loses a new woman in nearly every issue.
Dylan Dog seems to have an Oedipus complex: many of the numerous women he pursues resemble his mother Morgana, and he dramatically collides with the shadow of his father -- Xabaras -- (Slight transformation of Abraxas) cut into two halves, which seems to allude to the ambivalence of this father figure and of Dylan's feelings for him.
Sclavi's progressive disinvolvement has left other authors the task of carrying forward character continuity. After being absent for several years, Xabaras returned in 2004.
Groucho was a Groucho Marx impersonator whose character became his permanent personality (hinted to be because of memory loss in 'Oltre la porta' issue 228). Now he lives and works with Dylan Dog as his professional sidekick. He enjoys puns and women, though he does not share his employer's luck with the ladies. Groucho's goofy, off-beat personality helps temper Dylan's moodiness. He also reminds his boss when their finances are in dire straits (almost always), shows up with a pistol in the nick of time (he can't shoot himself, but he always throws the pistol in Dylan's hand right on time), and makes tea. At some point in every issue Groucho makes one or two jokes that annoy Dylan and the person listening to the joke (often a client of Dylan's). An example: "...once, I had a dog which could utter its own name. It was named Woof.
Dylan Dog series debuted in October 1986 with a comic book entitled "L'alba dei morti viventi" ("Dawn of the Living Dead"), plotted and scripted by Tiziano Sclavi and illustrated by Angelo Stano; it proved to be a huge publishing success in the years to come. May 2003 saw the publication of Issue 200, entitled "Il numero duecento" ("Number Two-Hundred"), plotted and scripted by Paola Barbato and drawn by Bruno Brindisi.
The first reprint series came out in July 1990, the second in June 1991, and the third in June 1996, this time called Collezione Book (Collection Book); in October 2006 the bi-monthly reprint Grande ristampa was released.
February 1997 saw the release of the Super Book, a tri-monthly release that reprinted the special annual issues that had come out ten years before.
In August 1987 a special annual release was added to the monthly series, called Numero Speciale (Special Issue), with one story longer than usual and, in addition, small extra books on various horror-related subjects.
Another annual release was added in March 1991, L'almanacco della paura (The Fear Almanac), together with the usual Dylan stories, one could also find articles and curiosities about film, literature, and other topics, all related to the horror theme.
January 1993 saw the appearance of a new annual book, the Dylan Dog Gigante (Gigantic Dylan Dog), so called because it was much larger than the monthly book and because it contained more stories.
Dylan Dog maxi (Maximum Dylan Dog) came out in July 1998. This was another annual release that collected together three previously unpublished stories.
In October 1990 an irregularly numbered issue came out: Dylan Dog e Martin Mystère - Ultima Fermata: l'incubo! (Dylan Dog and Martin Mystère - Last Stop: Nightmare!). It presented an unpublished story in which the nightmare investigator teamed up with another famous Bonelli character, Martin Mystère. Alfredo Castelli and Tiziano Sclavi wrote and plotted this story, and Giovanni Freghieri did the drawings. The story had a sequel in 1992.
Claudio Villa created the covers for this series up until Issue 41 (1990), after which he was replaced by Angelo Stano. Both have also illustrated many stories.
American publisher Dark Horse Comics has released seven English volumes of Dylan Dog -- six in 1999, and one more in 2002. In this version, Groucho becomes a cleanshaven fellow called Felix because of legal dispute with Groucho Marx's estate. Mike Mignola drew new covers for the 1999 releases.
A new volume, Dylan Dog Casefiles, is planned for 2009, to tie in with the upcoming movie, Dead of Night.
Francesco Dellamorte also appears in a short sequel of Orrore nero, entitled Stelle cadenti (Falling stars), where Dylan, Groucho, Francesco and Gnaghi are walking together during saint Lawrence's night, watching shooting stars and talking bout life and death. But they are not alone, that night...
English actor Rupert Everett played the protagonist, Francesco Dellamorte, and Italian model and actress Anna Falchi played the female lead. Although Everett, playing Dellamorte, wore Dylan Dog's trademark costume, the Dylan Dog character did not appear in the movie.
