Gallery: 7 Weird and Wonderful Uses For LED Lighting Technology
SUNSHINE IN A BOTTLEAnyone who remembers catching fireflies in a jar as a child and marveling at their glow can appreciate Consol's delightful Sunshine in a Bottle lamp. Sold in South Africa, where sunlight is abundant, the glass bottle can be left out all day to collect the sun's rays via a solar panel in the lid, and can then illuminate the night using a little LED. Aside from being a nostalgic object, this light provides an alternative for people who previously had to use dangerous kerosene to light their lamps at night.
It's amazing to think that just a few years ago, many people thought of LEDs as nothing more than the tiny red lights in our laser pointers but my, how the times have changed! With more and more people realizing the energy-efficiency benefits of LED lighting, it seems that everything from headlights to TVs to even clothing and wallpaper are now being lit up by the versatile lighting technology. Unlike incandescents, LEDs are super-compact, don't emit heat and use just a fraction of the energy – plus their flexible, plastic design allows them to be used in a wonderful variety of innovative ways that other types of lighting just can't touch. We've seen so many weird and wonderful uses for LED lighting lately that we decided to put together a roundup of our favorite examples for your viewing pleasure. Click through our gallery to see some of the quirkiest, most interesting uses for LEDs that we've ever seen.

Wonderful post! These new LED products make me very excited for the future. Not only are these extremely innovative ideas, but they are also cool products people will want to purchase and have a positive impact on our environment. I want to go get my own LED wallpaper!

Great post, thanks for the inspiration! I'm a big fan of LED lighting for obvious reasons and am always looking for more ideas and tips on how to sustainably brighten up my home, office and garden space with the use of LED lighting. Came across this post here by LEDLuxor, a leading LED wholesale supplier (with a pretty good news section) which is probably interesting for the readers of this article: http://www.ledluxor.com/led-light-strips-top-5-ideas-applications
I'm looking into flashing up my new house at the moment and LED strip lights are an awesome and simple (as well as cost-saving) way to do this. LEDLuxor (www.ledluxor.com) has a large variety of LED strip lights available at wholesale prices so I already got a bunch and the quality appears to be good!
Exciting times in this LED revolution…

Last week I was invited by the New York Times "Room for Debate" to contribute my opinion on whether global universities help or hurt higher education. My response is below.
Whether you're going abroad for work, study, volunteer or pleasure, the odds are you will experience culture shock. Although culture shock hits those harder who are moving abroad, even if only for a few months, everyone experiences it somewhat, so it's a good idea to recognize the symptoms and have some tips to deal with it.
For most college students, the allure of studying abroad can be intoxicating. That's because students tend to initially focus on the "abroad" part. But make no mistake about it: studying abroad is a serious undertaking.
The Institute of International Education wants hundreds of thousands more U.S. students to study abroad by the end of the decade. That's a tall order, even for an organization considered to be the leader in international education exchange.
If you know a college student planning to study abroad, consider giving them a present they will find invaluable during their time abroad. Whether going abroad for a month, a year or somewhere in between, there's something in the following list for every intrepid young traveler.
Having international students on American campuses and American students on campuses overseas ensures stronger people-to-people connections, a critical element in sustaining important bilateral relationships.
Morgan Abate is a sophomore at Elon University. She shares her thoughtful process on how she decided where and when to study abroad. Read on!
Study abroad doesn't have to break the bank. There is a lot of information out there online, on campus, and in the form of firsthand experience from friends and other students who've recently returned from studying abroad. Before you decide NOT to go due to cost, do your research.
In the New York Times "Room for Debate" today: Should more Americans study abroad? Take a minute to post your comment today!
For parents, advisers and students….In my talks on campuses, many students express an interest in "just having fun" while studying abroad, so they're planning on taking a few classes pass/fail and traveling around. They want to know, is that so wrong? It all depends on what the objective is.

And this approach to therapy is not effective at treating neurological complications of lysosomal storage diseases because injected enzymes cannot enter the brain. Because diltiazem crosses the blood-brain barrier, the drug could prove to be particularly effective in the treatment of such conditions as neuropathic Gaucher disease, which generally attacks infants and results in severe brain damage.
In addition to acting on neuropathic Gaucher disease, diltiazem and verapamil also partially restored lysosomal enzyme homeostasis in cell lines derived from patients suffering from two other distinct lysosomal storage diseases, namely -mannosidosis and type IIIA mucopolysaccharidosis. People with -mannosidosis have an inability to degrade glycoproteins, leading to intellectual disability, hearing loss, frequent infections, and other complications. People with type IIIA mucopolysaccharidosis have a deficiency in one of the enzymes needed to break down heparan sulfate, which leads to progressive central nervous system degeneration. No effective therapy is currently available for either disease.
"We found that these two compounds, diltiazem and verapamil, likely act through a calcium ion mediated increase in the concentration and distribution of cytoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum chaperones, possibly by activating certain pathways that sense and correct protein malfolding," said Research Associate Ting-Wei Mu, the first author of the study. "Increasing calcium levelsXaltering calcium homeostasisXin the endoplasmic reticulum appears to be a relatively safe and selective strategy to partially restore mutant lysosomal enzyme homeostasis."
Altering calcium homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum does not appear to affect the folding efficiency of other cellular enzymes, the study reveals.
"If we can learn how to successfully manipulate calcium homeostasis, it's possible that these types of drugs might be useful for treating other pro

Isn't it absolutely amazing!
I'm hoping we can keep our DDC alive and thriving through the transition from DDC to LWB, and beyond !
How are everyone's little ones doing?
Faith, now that she's off of the oxygen, is an eating and sleeping machine. She has been gaining weight wonderfully ~ 8lbs 8oz at birth and over 10lbs at our midwife visit on Friday. She's much more mellow than her big sister was at this age, which is a real help, since the 2.5 yr old is definitely vying for attention. Faith is happy to oblige. She loves our mamababy sling and she loves her swing. And she is doing great through the night...meaning I'm not really having to gain full consciousness to get her latched on however many times a night...which is working out beautifully.
I'm working on a one true media montage...inspired by zahirakids...and will post once it's all together.
Here's hoping that we can gather our entire DDC over here...
And here's the link back to our DDC
river and mountain mama to two amazing girls, 8.25.05 and 1.13.08, and married to my soulmate of 18 yrs
Thanks for starting this river! Shana is doing awesome and is now weighing in at 11 lbs 10 oz. She is EBF! I love my little chunker!
Mama to DS (3/7/06), DSD (11/17/02), DD (1/16/08 ) , DS2 (5/30/10) and Baby Quinn (R.I.P 3/22/13)
Rainee is up to 9 lbs at 7 weeks old. She's gaining 1/2 lb/week. She seems crazy big to me because she is gaining so fast! Breastmilk only, too!
We've finally figured out CDing, and are getting into a bit of a routine, mostly centered around Big Sister's activities. I find if you lower your expectations of what you are going to get done you're much happier in the end.

Isn't it lovely to see the babes growing all chunky? So smushable and lovely. Dd#2 is chunkier than her sister was and I looooove those chubs. Wish I could say it was only breastmilk though. Sigh.
We're still supplementing and I'm pumping and trying her at the breast. She has been latching on more (and better -- hey, it really does hurt less as their mouthes grow! Wow!!!! Yay!!!!!) but sometimes she's still so unpredictable. Oh well, I'll just keep trying for now. Today she gave me a huge goofy grin at the boob. Made me MELT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for starting this thread! Hello Mamas!!!!!
Me + Dh = Dd1(9.5 yrs) + Dd2(7 yrs) and Ds(4.5 yrs)
We're starting to (perhaps?) come out of toddler-nightmare-land....babe is 3 weeks old now, and yesterday was a HAPPY day!! Today has been really great, too. DS has been a real sweetheart, and pretty lovey with DD and treating me kindly and having fun with me again. Whew! I know it will probably go way down and way up again and again, but it is nice to feel what it is like to be a happy family again!
We're laying low today---after three weeks of laying low because of new baby and sick friends, we caught a cough this weekend. Oh well. It's nothing bad, but enough to not want to pass it around.
Don't know how much DD weighs, but I feel like she is a chunker compared to DS. She SLEEPS, too! I just hope that one lasts...I remember that his sleep wasn't so bad until teething started, so this could all go out the window, but her quality of sleep and how easily she goes to sleep is so much easier than it was with him. I just feel that she is a sleeper where he was/is NOT a sleeper.
The upside of all of these sick friends is that the meals are still coming in! They've really been drawn out, since people didn't want to bring their ick over. This has allowed us to not get sick of the meals that I froze/canned, and have fresher things every few days. I've cooked an actual meal once, but it was of the "put salmon and whole potatoes in oven, steam frozen broccoli" variety, so doesn't really count. "lol I'm starting to worry that DS will forget that cooking takes TIME---we've just been heating things up for weeks now!
We're working on deciding about preschool for next year right now. The school that I love (and can afford!) is 5 half-days per week, which is so much more than I thought I'd ever do with him. I'm really itching to start doing contract work again in the fall, though, so I really want to send him to preschool for SOME period of time. It seems like I should send him to the school that I love, though, rather than just going with the school with the SCHEDULE that I want. The price on this particular school is so good, though, that I suspect that they might be okay with me paying for 5 days and only sending him 3 or 4 days per week. It is still 1/3 cheaper for 5 days than the 3-day program that would be my second choice. It just seems so early to have so much structure and so little flexibility in our lives, though. I really want to try to keep this work relationship that I have going, though, because it will already have been 1.5 years since I quit part-time (long-distance contract work), and the longer I let it go, the more worried I become that they won't take me back. This is just the PERFECT job for having kids in school----I can be here when they get up, get them off to school, come home and have 5 solid hours of work per day, be here when they get home and be around and present in the evenings. It's hard to find a job like that. But I ramble...
I saw someone's post about nursing in a wrap on the other board---I've tried it a few times in a stretchy wrap, and it worked okay. Once was at Trader Joe's, and it wasn't so bad. I had to support her head with my hand, though, so it wasn't really hands-free. But I was able to walk around, at least. I've also managed the ring sling a few times, but it doesn't feel terribly discreet. DS would NEVER nurse in a carrier, so this is all new for me. I'm hoping that this new little one and I can work something out.
Play food has been set up for a snack---I'd better go help "eat" it!!
All is well here too, we have been very happy to just hang around the house. Nico is still trying to get rid of a cold, so staying home is where we are at! He is really big too- last we checked he was 11lbs6oz, and that was almost 2 weeks ago. He loves to nurse...
He loves the moby wrap, i do too. he has been sleeping less, taking more catnaps during the day, but sleeping great at night. he is much more mellow than dd was. dd seems to be listening to dh and me more. we started a "mommy and me" cuddle with dd at bedtime, dh takes ds into the other room for a while, this seems to be helping.
i am happy with my life right now...things are good, we are planning a trip to the east coast when Nico is 10 weeks old to visit family. that will be an adventure...
mama to and, due in November
river and mountain mama to two amazing girls, 8.25.05 and 1.13.08, and married to my soulmate of 18 yrs
I am feeling so much better and have been getting out of the house almost daily! Dd is adjusting as well. She'll be 4 in April and loves to lavish attention on ds. Thankfully he is quite tolerant of all the attention I am loving staying home and am working toward getting some contract work and starting my own practice one afternoon a week so I can be home as much as possible (and we can still have a home to be in ).
Despite feeling better, I am still struggling to get organized and the laundry never seems to end! I suppose that's all par for the course though!
OK, baby is up and asking for snack!
Happy Mommy to one amazing girl (11y) and one sweet boy (7y), and wife to DH since 7/03 : :
I finished the photo montage. I mainly did it for Faith to have, but I'm excited about it so I'm gonna share with all of you wonderful mamas...who don't mind seeing my breasts. For those that do, you may wish to opt out of checking out the link to...faith's birth. i may not leave it up for too long, due to the intimacy of it, but i wanted to share.
I'm sitting here moved to tears.....so beautiful.....I love when Faith was born, the joy in your dh and midwives faces is beautiful. I love your other dd in the tub with you. So cute. I LOVE the shot of your Faith still attached to the placenta. VERY VERY COOL. What a beautiful baby. The pic of your two daughters sleeping on you is very moving.
Thanks for sharing.

We're doing GV treatments, and she looks like she got into the koolaid or was chewing on a ballpoint pen. I almost can't take her seriously!
I've been trying to use the ringsling - I must not be doing it right cause it always turns out with her being more squished than looks right...I might try it with her in a vertical position and see if that's less squished. she might last longer that way.

Sniff. Sheesh.
Peace is doing well....she is much more alert and awake now during the day! She also sleeps well at nighttime. She will even do 4-5 hour stretches ....things seem to be getting more back to normal everyday!
|I'm working on a one true media montage...inspired by zahirakids...and will post once it's all together.
here's mine for those who didn't see it I updated it
Belle is just wonderful. She's six days old today and I love her to bits. She has a period of time at night when she's wide awake. I've read that you shouldn't interact then because it gives the baby the illusion that it is playtime or chill time or whatever but I can't just ignore her! She is just beautiful and wonderful and everything that is good Breastfeeding is going great and she's really chunked up. We're cosleeping which was not the intention. I bought a swing, a bouncer, and a play yard with a bassinet in preparation. She has a small amount of reflux (all my kids have had it, she's the easiest case of it ) but not enough to justify having to sleep in the bouncer or swing. I tried to put her down in the bassinet to sleep the first night. She cried, I picked her up, and she's been sleeping with us ever since
Wow all these big chunky babies! Ok anyone else have a little one? dd was 5lbs14oz at birth and 6lbs7oz at two weeks. She has a check-up next week but I'd guess she's 7ish right now, just starting to fit into her newborn sized clothes. She loves to nurse though so I think we can chunk her up .
Night time is going well here. Such a relief as ds2 was a horrendous sleeper. It is so nice not to be a complete zombie all the time.
We've been laying low and need to get back to life here, too. Been slacking off on the homeschooling big time.
So, other than it being kind of crazy, having three kids is great. The baby just fits right in, like she's been here all along.
Mama to Boy (10) Other Boy (7) and Girl (4) in my profile!
DD is still ebf in spite of the fact that it's been an uphill battle with sore nipples to this day. This even though we've had a lactation consultant (very reputable and IBCLC) and the LLL observe and say that "everything looks fine". Suspected thrush, but have ruled that one out. At this point my novice (never really nursed ds past two weeks) opinion is that she's probably got too shallow of a latch combined with my rather flat nipples (she makes a clicking sound while nursing). I've been reading up on some suggestions online, but that can only go so far. I wish I could find someone IRL who would actually be willing to *help* us. In the end all the LC did was give me a bunch of handouts - seriously...if I could be helped by something in print I wouldnt' have called her now would I?
I am very thankful, though, because even though it's painful for me she's still thriving. On Friday (5 wks) she was 11 lbs (up from 8lbs 12oz) and 23 1/2 inches long (up from 21)! I can definitely see why so many women give up bf'ing - I can't afford formula or I would have likely done so myself. Support is so key, so why is it so hard to find good help?
Nightimes are still rocky as se love to be held. More and more she is ending up in my bed instead of te bassinet because she oesn't seem to really like the bassinet. But thats okay I don't mind, i think i just have to get a bigger bed now.
It's been a wild ride juggling both kids! Tue and Thur I have to lug both of them on the bus to drop DD1 off at school and pick her up again in the afternoon. Today it was snowing and our afternoon bus ride was an adventure! :
DD2 is tons more fussy than my DD1 was. She has the evening cries, and she's become very particular about everything from how I nurse her to what carrier I use. She prefers the Moby and will tolerate the ring sling when in the mood. Anyways, she's a sweetheart.

Typing oneihanded on a Blackberry while nursing two sleepy babies...
DS is 9 lb 7 oz, up from 8-11 at birth, and 7 13 at a week. (Now 16 days). Okay, no one will report me CPS for this, right? I don't change a baby's clothing unless they're dirty. With DS1, no problem, b/c he dirtied his clothing at least twice a day as a newborn, but this one doesn't. So Saturday I realized he was still in the outfit I'd put him in on Tuesday, which was way too big at that time, and he had GROWN INTO IT during the week. Not many people can say they've grown into an outfit while wearing it!
He nurses around the clock, and I'm too well-endowed to do the sling thing well. DS1 (14 mths) needs to nurse whenever the NB does, which makes things difficult. My house is a wreck, and I'm exhausted - DS also isn't great at nursing lying down, and he often won't sleep except on my chest. We did night-wean DS1, kind of precipitously - after the first few miserable nights, DH has taken to sleeping with DS in a different room. It's not as cruel as it sounds, because DS1 doesn't often wake at night when I'm not there, and he's already used to taking bottles because my milk supply was so low during pregnancy, but I still feel a little bad.
I wish lots of wonderful sleep to all of us mommas!! Enough to get us through the days ahead anyways. Lol.
riverundine- what a beautiful video! The song was perfect! What an amazingly perfect latch Faith had in those shots. Thank you for sharing that. It was truly beautiful.

zahirakids I get an error page when trying to pull up yours. It might just be my sucky connection but you might want to check just in case.
Madeleine must be going through a growth spurt...when she's hungry, she's HUNGRY, and will nurse for an hour or more. She was 8lb4oz at birth, and was 10lb2oz last dr visit (3 weeks old). She's a sweet baby, and gave me a 5 hour stretch of sleep last night - yay! But I'm super tired today...1 decent night of sleep doesn't make up for all the previous sleep deprivation...
Glad to hear all your updates! And thank you to the mamas who posted montages - I loved watching them.

ds is about 5 1/2 weeks old. on monday he weighed a smidge over 10 lbs. his birth weight was 8 lbs, 10 oz. his latch leaves something to be desired. we had his frenulum clipped a couple of weeks ago, but his palate is still shaped in such a way that a deep latch is uncomfortable for him. lots of sliding up and down the nipple and gumming the nipple during feeds. it's much more tolerable now that the thrush is under some control. so far i still have milk, he's wetting and soiling diapers, and he's growing. i hope my milk supply continues until his latch catches up. i hope his latch catches up soon!
aside from feeding frustrations, all else is well. he's so different from my first baby. my first accepted nothing but being held all the time. the past couple of days this baby has had several times where he's upset until i put him in the swing, and then happy right away. i feel sort of detached and neglectful, only because it's so different from what i'm used to. up until a couple of days ago all of his sleep was either on my chest or facing my chest while lying in bed. i am getting some cleaning done and some time with dd, but... it's SO strange.
does everyone else worry all the time? i catch myself worrying about his weight, then minutes later i'm rotating through his diapers, weeding out the newborn stuff he's outgrown. and in the last paragraph i went on worrying about him sleeping in the swing, when i know some babies hardly sleep, or some mamas can never put their baby down to use the bathroom (that was me a few weeks ago). worry worry worry. really things are going well. he's healthy and cute.
We're doing fine. My daughter (who we lovingly call Typhoid Issy) brought home a cold and now I'm sick and Jack seems a bit congested. He was awake every 2-2.5 hours last night where usually he gets a couple 4/5 hour blocks in. I'm tanking up on Vit. C and liquids and hoping it passes quickly. He has his next well baby checkup on Monday so we'll see then how he's gaining. It's so hard for me to tell he's growing.
My sister-in-law and I had a funny moment over the weekend where we caught ourselves intensely discussing the consistency and quality of our respective babes' poo. Oh what having a baby does to your conversation topics.
Oh and zenma, Jack sleeps/chills out so much better in the swing than he does in my arms too. He just can't sleep with me holding him or in bed with me he has to be either in the swing or snuggled up in his da's armpit. Ew. He wakes up in the morning with stinky deodorant head.
I don't quite know what to do with that. He's been mostly dry for sooooooo long that I didn't think we'd have regression. But this looks like a power issue to me, and I just don't know how to react. My gut is PISSED that I now have to clean up the carpet. But I know I should probably just give him a happy "Oops! Pee goes in the toilet, not on the rug. Let's clean it up!" but my PP self just can't muster that right now.
My LLL leader yesterday mentioned to me that anger can be a sign of PPD, and I definitely feel angry more often than I ever have before. I'm yelling all of the time (unless I REALLY concentrate on it). Anyone BTDT and have some thoughts?
But this looks like a power issue to me, and I just don't know how to react. My gut is PISSED that I now have to clean up the carpet. But I know I should probably just give him a happy "Oops! Pee goes in the toilet, not on the rug. Let's clean it up!" but my PP self just can't muster that right now.

I can relate - sort of. My ds is regressing, in that he wants to be carried allllll the time (he's 30 lbs and very solid, so this is tiring for me). This is definitely related to the new baby, as he does this only with me, and only since Madeleine was born. He will plunk himself down on the sidewalk, not to move, if I insist on him walking places! I was definitely angry with him yesterday, but I don't think I have PPD - just severe sleep deprivation. My anger/frustration is tempered by laughter and tenderness - perhaps if the anger is omnipresent, a visit to your dr/midwife might be in order.

SEC Fearless Predictions
Aug. 30
Sept. 6 |
Sept. 13 |
How are the picks so far? SU:
SEC Fearless Predictions, Week
Six, Part 2
SEC Game of
the Week
Kentucky (4-0) at Alabama (5-0),
Why to watch: Could this be a
preview of the SEC title game? Fine, so
that's getting wayyyyy ahead of
the game, but no one ever imagined a few
weeks ago that this would be one of the
SEC's marquee games between two unbeaten
teams. Alabama hasn't just gone 5-0,
it's been amazing in doing it getting
out 31-0 at Georgia before holding off
the Bulldogs for a 41-30 win. Supposedly
a year away from being special, the
timetable has been moved up and national
title expectations have kicked in.
Kentucky hasn't been anything special on
offense after losing all the stars from
last year's team, but the defense has
become special allowing three points or
fewer in three of the four games. Last
year's win over eventual national
champion LSU was big, but a win this
week would be even more important. With
winnable home games against South
Carolina and Arkansas to follow, the
Cats would likely be 7-0 going into the
road trip to Florida, and would likely
be ranked in the top five, if they can
pull off the upset.
This is supposed to be the easy portion
of the Bama schedule facing UK this week
and hosting Ole Miss next week before
going to Tennessee. Obviously, things
have now changed as the Tide will have
to prove to be up to the challenge
against the emerging teams.
Why Kentucky might win: Sheer
hubris. As much as Alabama head coach
Nick Saban can talk about getting his
players ready and as much as everyone
can say they're in the right frame of
mind, they just whacked Georgia at
Georgia like it was Utah State. There's
bound to be a letdown. On the field,
Bama's fantastic offensive line will get
tested even more than it was against
Georgia with the aggressive UK defensive
front certain to manufacture ways of
getting into the backfield. Bama QB John
Parker Wilson has hardly been touched so
far. That'll change on Saturday.
Why Alabama might win: It's not
like the Kentucky offense is blowing
anyone's doors off. The Wildcats are
doing enough to get by thanks a
relatively light schedule, a decent
running game, and efficient passing. No
one has pushed the UK offensive line
yet, but Alabama's defensive front four
should speed up the passing game a bit
and force Mike Hartline to step up his
reads and his decision making. While
Hartline is growing into a nice player
to build around, he's still a sophomore
going into a super-charged environment
against an ultra-confident defense.
Who to watch: Glen Coffee has yet
to be hailed as any sort of SEC
superstar, but the junior has been one
of the key focal points of the Alabama
offense. He's not tremendously fast and
he might not be very flashy, but he has
rushed for a solid 490 yards and three
touchdowns and is coming off a workhorse
23-carry, 86-yard, one score day against
Georgia. Alabama wants to establish the
run first, and it'll lead off with
Coffee to set up Wilson and the passing
What will happen: Kentucky's defense
will be solid enough in the first half
to get the fired up Tide crowd
grumbling, but there won't be enough
from Hartline and the offense to take
advantage of any opportunities. Alabama
will look mortal, and Kentucky will be
the reason.

Saturday, October 4
Florida (3-1) at Arkansas (2-2),
12:30 EST, GamePlan
Why to watch: This was
supposed to be the time when
Florida could stretch its legs a
bit and build up a nice, fat
record to tune-up and prepare
for LSU and Georgia. However,
the offense struggled with its
consistency over the first part
of the season and the defense
collapsed on one big play
against Ole Miss to turn the
season around. Florida was
plagued by missed opportunities,
a blocked field goal, and a
fourth down stuff to lose to the
Rebels 31-30, and while the
national title dream isn't gone,
there's no more margin for
error. The Gators have to win
out to play for the national
title. Arkansas, on the other
hand, has to pull off a win for
survival. Awful over the first
four games of the year, the Hogs
barely got by Western Illinois
and UL Monroe by a total of five
points, and then got blasted by
Texas and Alabama by a combined
score of 101 to 24. The hits
just keep on coming for Bobby
Petrino's rebuilding crew,
facing Auburn in Jordan-Hare
next week.
Why Florida might win:
Florida might be a bit beaten up
on the defensive line, but if it
was ever going to get the pass
rush going, this would be the
game to do it. The injured and
retooling Arkansas front five
has allowed more sacks than
anyone in America while
struggling to consistently get
the running game going. Florida
has been terrific at taking the
ball away, and if there's
consistent pressure into the Ole
Miss backfield, the
interceptions will be there for
the taking.
Why Arkansas might win:
Florida isn't exactly humming on
all cylinders. If the Gators
play a sharp, tight game,
Arkansas doesn't have a prayer.
But Florida has yet to come up
with a solid 60-minute game,
evidenced last week with a few
key misfires on late passes and
a breakdown in coverage to allow
the go-ahead home run touchdown
to Shay Hodge. Arkansas will
have to keep bombing away. There
will be mistakes and there will
be a few ugly series, but the
Hogs have to go with their
strength, and at the moment,
that's throwing the ball as much
as possible.
Who to watch: The Florida
offensive line is suddenly
becoming a big of an issue with
several backups already hurt and
with starting guard Jim Tartt's
shoulder expected to be an
ongoing problem. Combined with
Marcus Gilbert's ankle injury,
and all of a sudden, the Gators
could be vulnerable in the
What will happen: Arkansas
will turn the ball over five
times and Florida will mix it up
a bit more than it has in the
last few weeks. It'll take just
over a half, but the Gators will
find a way back into its SEC
title-caliber groove on two key
drives that'll blow the game

South Carolina (3-2) at Ole Miss
2:00 EST, GamePlan
Why to watch: The
midsection of the SEC pecking
order will shake out a bit
between two teams and two
programs seemingly going in
opposite directions. Ole Miss is
coming off a stunning 31-30 win
at Florida thanks to a huge pass
play from Jevan Snead to Shay
Hodge and a few key plays late
from the defensive line. Now the
expectations have been set high
with the potential to be a key
player in the SEC race as the
season goes on with a trip to
Alabama up next after hosting
the Gamecocks, South Carolina
has been decidedly mediocre
despite playing four of its
first five games at home. The
defense has been excellent, but
the offense has wavered between
being ineffective at best to a
disaster at worst. This is
supposed to be the easy part of
the SEC schedule with trips to
Ole Miss this week and Kentucky
next week, but with LSU,
Tennessee and Florida still left
on the slate, the wins have to
start coming now.
Why South Carolina might win:
The defense has done the best it
can in a bad situation. No,
there haven't been a slew of
offensive juggernauts to deal
with, with the possible
exception of Georgia, yet the
Gamecocks have been tremendous
at getting offenses off the
field. The Ole Miss offense has
worked tremendously well so far,
but USC should be able to take
away one phase. The secondary
should be able to handle the
average Rebel receivers, while
the linebackers are talented
enough to keep Dexter McCluster
and the Wild Rebel ground game
in check.
Why Ole Miss might win:
South Carolina is one of the few
teams that can find ways to come
up with more turnovers and more
mistakes than Ole Miss. The
Gamecocks haven't found an
interception it didn't try to
throw, pitching 11 so far, and
while the defense has been
great, it's not the type of
group that forces takeaways in
bunches. The biggest problem for
USC is on the offensive line.
It's been miserable so far,
while the Rebels are getting
healthier and better on the
defensive front.
Who to watch: While
Stephen Garcia hasn't officially
been named the South Carolina
starting quarterback, Stephen
Garcia is the South Carolina
starting quarterback. At the
very least, he's considered the
savior for an erratic passing
game that needs a boost. Garcia
is the most mobile of the
options running for 86 yards and
a touchdown last week against
UAB, while completing 13-of-20
passes for 131 yards and a
touchdown with an interception.
What will happen: Ole Miss
is two plays away from being
5-0, and now it has the
confidence that it can play with
anyone in the SEC. South
Carolina might be a mess on
offense, but it's getting RB
Mike Davis back and star
receiver Kenny McKinley might
give it a go. This should be a
terrific game with several big
momentum swings, but Ole Miss
will win the battle on the
defensive front to force three
interceptions that'll change the

Race Report: Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship - Round #2 Report
Pearce Herder leading a long line of Senior Rotax on Saturday
(Photo: Cody Schindel - Autosports Media)
Point Pelee Karting hosted the second round of the 2008 Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship in Leamington, Ontario, recently as over 200 entries filled the grid over two days of exciting on and off track activities. The threat of rain and thunderstorms haunted drivers and teams all week leading up to the event, however the only drops of rain fell overnight Friday and all on-track racing was held under beautiful sunny skies.
Headlining Saturdays classes nineteen karts entered the Rotax Senior class. With a paid trip to the Canadian National Championships to point leader after race #4 of each of the Rotax powered classes, the action on track was hot. Missing from race one was Frank Launi, who was recovering from a ball hockey fall, as well as Kyle Herder. Taking the Autosports Media Fast Qualifier in Senior Pearce Herder (Arrow) narrowly edged local Daniel Myer. Herder controlled the ten lap pre-final placing him on pole for the final alongside Marc Stehle (TonyKart). As the first laps of the main were registered into the books, it looked as though the TonyKarts of Stehle and teammate Jonathon Treadwell could contend with the Herder; however a small gap continued to grow after the halfway point and it was Herder's race to lose. Treadwell retired from the race after lap five and by lap ten the podium was set as Matt France (TonyKart) notched into third after starting tenth. Ryan Horses and Jason Abram (Arrow) completed the top five.
Although still growing in the BSRKC, the Rotax DD2 class provided some of the best action of the weekend. Enrico Menotti placed his Cameron/CRG on the pole three hundredths of a second ahead of Jason France. In the pre-final, Greg Rempel won a ten-lap dog fight and grabbed the pole for the final. However in the final, Rempel over shot his braking point heading into turn one, collecting all but Jason Papp (FirstKart), who hasnt raced regionally since the OKRA was in control. The melee dropped Menotti to the bottom on the chart and allowed Papp to gain a large lead after lap one. Putting his head down, Menotti was back into second by lap six, and hunting down Papp for the lead. It took nine laps to catch the fatiguing Papp, and a great pass on the inside of turn one gave Menotti the lead and his first regional race win. He produced the fast lap of the race in the process, while Papp held on for second, and after a brief scrap with Rempel, Jason France completed the podium in third. Cameron Hogg finished fourth for Cameron/CRG and Jonathon Coate finished fifth.

The heart-breaker of the weekend belonged to Bryson Schutte. After dominating the Rotax Junior pre-final, an ignition failure, later found to be an unplugged ignition box, held him back from starting the final. Michael Adams took advantage of the situation to win ahead of Zac Mahoney (Arrow) and Cory Cacciavillani (FirstKart). Other winners from Saturdays classes included Ryan Horses in F125, Grant Quinlan in Rotax Micro-Max; Artem Korolev in Rotax Mini-Max and in the lone Honda class, Scotty Nagel took the checkers.
More sunny blue skies welcomed drivers back on Sunday morning as Matteus Makos kicked things off in Novice by grabbing the Autosports Media Pole as well as the pre-final. However Devlin DeFrancesco executed an excellent start and held the lead through first five. Ayrton Drosi and Matthew Scannell glued to the bumper Makos and the three worked together to catch the leader. Makos grabbed the lead in turn one on lap six and never looked back. From there, the three of DeFrancesco, Drosi and Scannell battled back and forth for the final two podium positions as well as the large prizes courtesy of A to Z Capital Corp. Makos took the checkers for his second regional win of the year ahead of Drosi and DeFrancesco.
Stehle took one for the old guys in Senior Heavy
(Photo: Cody Schindel - Autosports Media)
Honda Senior Light and Heavy had the fence lines filled after two very exciting pre-finals. Sun Parlour Kart Club members Tyler Hendricks and Marc Stehle lined up on the front row for the Heavy final. Stehle led the first flyer, but Hendricks the second. Stehle battled back for the lead by lap four, with Hendricks fastened to his bumper until lap fourteen allowing the leaders to gain a small gap on the field. Hendricks led every lap as the two crossed the line from fourteen to eighteen, but Stehle led somewhere on the track in each of those laps as well. Entering turn one on lap nineteen, Stehle completed the pass of the weekend as he used an amazing outside-inside technique on Hendricks through turn one and two, leaving Hendricks somewhat puzzled as to what happened. Stehle held on from there to take the win in pure excitement! Jumping out of his seat during his victory lap, the local hero confirmed to a cheering crowd he is never too old to run with young bucs.
Looking for redemption in the Light race, Hendricks lined up eighth for the final after an incident in the pre-final. Pearce Herder grabbed the early lead closely followed by Michael Glaze, Darryl Timmers, and Hendricks who sliced his way to fourth after lap one. Herder lead the majority of the first half, as the three behind him clashed for second. Hendricks vaulted to the lead on lap fifteen bringing Glaze and Timmers with him. Glaze then took the lead on lap nineteen hoping to hold the position to the checkers. As the four chose different lines into turn one, Hendricks attempted the move used on him less than an hour earlier in turn 1. However, Glaze held strong through two and three as the two made contact many times. A little push from Timmers got Hendricks to the lead heading to four, but Timmers then snuck under Hendricks into four and looked to have the lead, but slid in the marbles pushing Hendricks outside and allowing Glaze to sneak back under the two and retake the lead. With his arm pumping in the air exiting the final corner, Glaze won his second race of the day after cruising to a win in TaG earlier. Timmers followed to finish second and Hendricks third. Herder and Vince Villaranda completed the top five.

Finishing the racing for the day, 29 karts lined up for the Junior Heavy final. Earning the Autosports Media Fast Qualifier, and rocketing to a pre-final victory, it looked like Zac Mahoney was going to cruise to the win. However, after leading the first sixteen laps of the final, Mahoneys kart slowed drastically down the straight away on lap seventeen. Battling for second position the whole race, Reid Arnold was handed the lead following the misfortune of Mahoney. Holding off a charging Jamie Riberdy, Arnold crossed the line for his first win of the year. Riberdy crossed second and Cory Cacciavillani finished third. Melissa Glaze and Julius Makos completed the top five. Mahoney completed the race with the boggling motor in eighteenth.
Austin Bisschop narrowly edged Ty Lucio by six-thousandths of second for the Cadet win. Braydon Strik won an eventful final lap in the Jr Light class over Michael Taibi and Cameron Morrison. After a rough outing in the rain, Jake Collison returned to the top of the Masters podium joined by Glenn Butler and Randy Packham. As mentioned, Michael Glaze won the TaG race over Ryan Horses and Jonathon Treadwell.
The 2008 Brian Stewart Racing Karting Championship returns to Kawartha Downs for round three July 4-6, followed by the much anticipated round four at Shannonville Motorsports Park July 30 to August 3.

This was fabulous, fast and easy. The sauce is so good you want to lick the plate. I am going to find more things to put the sauce on.flag if inappropriate
Simple & Spectacular! I served this with black rice & stir-fried veggies! My husband said it was the best Salmon I've ever made...I've tried many. Will make it a regular! I think it could work over Seared Scallops or Halibut. Loved the simplicity & complex flavor.flag if inappropriate
The lime butter sauce was rich, but yet seemed light and frankly a nice change of pace. My husband loved it.flag if inappropriate
So where do I find lime butter sauce. There is not recipe for it on this web page.flag if inappropriate
Rave reviews from the whole table! Seared the salmon first in olive oil- then baked briefly. Sauce we used Becel olive oil marg 2 cloves garlic, 2 limes zested and juiced. Lisaflag if inappropriate
Wow. Truly delicious and so easy. So happy with this recipe. Will make it again many times over. I did two sides which were nice complements - roasted sweet potato and black bean salad, and quinoa with corn, scallion and mint (links below). My husband's a chef and called this one of my best meals ever. The next night we were thrilled to have extra lime butter sauce - we put it on pork and rice and it was delicious! Would be great on chicken, other kinds of fish, beef - you just can't go wrong with lime and butter!

PC Game of the Year: The Winner
Here is GameSpot's winner for 2012 PC Game of the Year.
by Gamespot Staff on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
I wasn't the biggest fan of GW2...
GW2 deserved it, Best PC exclusive this year.
Lot of good game's here. dishonored, mass effect 3, etc. so i agree GW2 does deserve it.
i miss the unlike button coz they used to be hell lot of unliking for the pointless
All u guys who are hating this game are either not MMO fans (like me) or just silly wanna be critics.
honestly, my choice would have been different because of this and that, but GW 2 is just the best game to deserve this title in opinion and easily the reason i started thinking of MMOs as-not-so-bad games..............
by the way, some silly person was saying GW2 is like farm-vile,.......illd say your brains hate u dude!
i think this is the best choice anyone could have made. GW2 is just briliant
-stupid kids
although most do not agree, i really think gw2 deserved this...
gw2 should not have won..
GW2 is overrated , even Torchlight II can beat it
That's a big surprise for someone who never cared much about MMORPG. I guess it's about time I try one of these and - to be honest - Guild Wars seems very good. My choise, however, would be among one of the other nominees (except for XCOM) plus Far Cry 3. I didn't see this one coming! Every one have his/her taste, but to see a consensus among GS editors on this choise means it must be pretty good!
I was going to say, if anything other than GW2 won PC goty, I was going to cry.
an mmo? Lol don't think so
I think GW2 is much deserving of he title, alot of good games this year, and it was definately one!
and ya....guide wars 2 deserve an award....maybe just for RPG or MMO....not represent the PC platform.....guess 2012 is joke of the year...kthxbye
really???MMO is PC game of the year?....nah
The answer to all your questions is, because Guild Wars 2 is better!
Why is there no Dark Souls: PTD on this list? WHY!?! WHY?!!?!? It came out for PC this year, hasn't it?!?!? Meh, these PC awards suck ballz. Peace out
Dishonored is better than guild wars 2.
What joke is that??????? Dishonored is Deserve the 1st Place!!!!!!!!!
Dishonored should have won, imo. GW2 was a huge dissapointment imo as a die-hard GW1-player. I was so bored at level 50 that I just removed the game from my HD, never to be touched again.
Could someone get me a faster internet connection ? I NEED to play Guild Wars 2 .
Guild Wars 2 deserves the award. Awesome game.
I have read a few times that GW2 is one of the few MMOs that is actually still good if you are more of a solo player who enjoys exploration more than combat. I guess that's me, when I play singleplayer RPGs I enjoy discovering cool locations and finding interesting loot more than the combat. I don't see myself getting into the usual MMO stuff like grouping together to take down large enemies. I see GW2 can now be bought for around $40, so I'm considering it. I haven't really played an MMO since Ultima Online beta :). As a mostly singleplayer/solo type of person, I think what I'm looking for is basically a massive world to explore and hopefully updates (I guess they'd be paid addons in this case) that extend that world and add more non-combat focused content over time. I also like some crafting and hunting down components to do so. Anyone care to share their opinions on GW2 in relation to what I am interested in?
This site really has a long way from really covering PC gaming in a way that any PC gamer would find relevant.
screw the freaking fan boys for that game that beat gw2 on g4tv... they have no idea how f'n amazing gw2 is! bang'n son!
Totally worth every penny.
thank you ArenaNet 'You made it happen'!
hey guys
is gw2 worth it? How is the end game?
I got a full refund for guild wars 2. It was a good leveling experience... but once you're level 80, the game may as well have ended.
For those saying guild wars 2 gets boring with time... you are all most likely burned out from other games.
Silly but seems it seems like it , most of the comments i have been reading its about people playing them for less than a month and getting bored.. pretty sure those didnt even complete the map or get any close to a legendary.
Some like achievements some dont.
Well deserved. I spent over 500 hours on it, with two characters at level 80, and other two in the way to; the classes had variety and are enjoyable, the world is huge and the random event system is a nice touch and is well implemented; every player helps others withut disturbing his own path; eveyone can play it as alone or as social as they want. The campaign is a good source of experience and last for 40 acts, not being stellar but still decent enough. The PvE part is really strong, with amaing art and good tech behind; the instanced dungeons are fast to do, very productive to farm and hard enough to require teamwork and determination. Din't play the PvP, but the WvWvW competitive realm vs realm gave me the most fun I had in a multiplayer game since Bad Company 2.
So far, aside from the DOTA 2 beta, nothing better or moire fun to play was released this year; I'm planning to keep playing for months and eventually being able to forge my own legendary weapon for my main character.
I knew GW2 would win, this completly has confirmed this game being the most over-rated crap I have ever played. Out of all these titles, I still own all but GW2 that was sold on ebay 2 weeks later when I got to 80 and couldn't stand looking at the game on my desktop or the hardcopy on my desk. I wanted GW2 to be THE mmo, it wasn't even close....it may have gotten best game on gayspot, but the fact there are under 1 million players actively still playing, lol, says alot.....good luck.
hahaha! please...... whoever removed the unlike button...
And why not? What makes an MMO unworthy of being PC goty?
@commander1122 kthxbye? how's 4th grade treating you?
That is your opinion, but you forget that this isn't about your opinion.
@AYONGAMER007 Yes it is very Deserve. About 1st place, well... everone has different tastes
@hystavito One of the best things about GW2 is wandering around and exploring the world. It's very beautiful, and there are little bits here and there that make it worthwhile. Generally speaking, there are little cut scenes (vistas) and points of interest to unlock. There are also little hidden spots that you can stumble upon, that can be anything from a little hidden cave, a farm for a hard to find crafting ingredient, or a jumping puzzle. Exploring and map completion are things that I probably enjoy the most in the game.
It's quite solo friendly, every class that I've played can handle normal mobs pretty well. Certain classes can handle veterans by themselves, others struggle a bit.
As far as teaming up to fight huge monsters, there will be opportunities to do so all over the map, but they do not require you to queue or join a group. Simply wander near a group of people and start whacking on the mob. Every character has it's own loot roll, so there is no kill stealing, and therefore no objection to your assistance. When it's done you can peace out, or follow the group to see if another event is running.
Dungeons are 5 man content, I didn't really start working on them until level 80, though they appear every 10 levels starting at 30. The main reason you'd want to do them is for a particular skin, you can craft or purchase comparable armor/weapons by yourself without the need for dungeons.
If you can get it for $40, it will give you a great value for your money.
@dovberg I couldn't agree with you more.
more than worth every penny. the game is simply stunning.
@Neffian 32 dungeons at lvl80, WvW, sPvP, Fractals of the Mists with unlimited levels of difficulty for dungeon progression fans and even more for endgame content. Oh, and free regular monthly content patches and free expansion-sized patch coming in February and every 5-6 months. Anet is developing the game and adding new content like crazy.
yeah srsly. you should have kept playing. 80 is def. where its at, still lots to do and they keep adding content... all with NO monthly fee. amazing game.
@terminus Assassins Creed 3 isn't ? such a bad game
@Meteor7 MMO's are about as much of a game as Farmville that's why. They are a sub-genre and should be classed as such
@Ambassador_Kwan going to buy it online next week when i finish my final test, and i know im not going to regret it!
@Microsteve you not liking MMOs means nothing compared to the millions who love MMOs. they require immense strategy with other *gasp* humans, and the rewards are great. i already got six of my friends hooked on gw2 and we use it as our "guys night out" once a week to escape our 9 to 5. with no subscription to stress us out, it's easily the best game for PC this year.
@Microsteve @Meteor7 I wouldn't go as far as classifying a MMO as a sub-genre. The effort a developer puts into a game is just as much or even more than that of any other title released and you can't compare it to farmville that's low of the low who can't make anything better than facebook games. i didn't like Gw2 but it doesn't mean it's not deserving to be recognized.

Originally written on isportsweb.com | Last updated 9/24/13
After splitting their series with the Texas Rangers, there was nothing more that the Tampa Bay Rays would have preferred than to complete a four game sweep over the Baltimore Orioles. This is exactly what they did, with the help of a James Loney's walk-off home run Monday night in Tampa. With no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Joe Maddon sent out Loney to pinch hit for Sean Rodriguez. There was no question that Maddon made the right move after Loney lined an 0-1 fastball over the right field wall. James Loney (Photo credit: Chris O'Meara/AP) With just six games left in the season, this win could not have come at a better time for the Rays, who are trying to preserve a two-game lead in the American League Wild Card race. By sweeping Baltimore, the Rays have almost completely knocked the O's out of the race, as they now sit five games behind the Cleveland Indians. The three other contenders for the Wild Card spots, however, were able to win on Monday and still find themselves in the mix. The Kansas City Royals are now three games out of the Indians' second Wild Card spot, while the Rangers are only one away. The Rays start a road series with the New York Yankees tonight, who may have lost almost all hope of reaching the postseason this year after failing to sweep the San Francisco Giants on Sunday afternoon. Unless the Rays were to lose all three games, the Yankees can pretty much be counted out. That is not to say, however, that they are not a dangerous ballclub. If the Yankees were to win the series, it may be a serious blow to Tampa, who still have to worry about both the red-hot Indians and the Rangers. The Rays still find themselves in a heated Wild Card battle going into the last six games of the season, and need to hope that they can ride the momentum of Loney's walk-off homer right into the playoffs.

Since Carrara Marble is so trendy right now, I thought it would help to write a post on which whites work the best with it for your white kitchen or bathroom.
Carrara Marble will look the best with a plain white like BM OC-65 Chantilly Lace or Behr Snow Fall WF600 (below) or even a white with a blue undertone like Behr 790C-1 or Dulux White Wing 50GY 83/010.
If you are choosing a standard white from a cabinet manufacturer, just make sure they are close to any of the above and your cabinets will look great.
If you want your cabinets to relate to the countertops I would not recommend Cloud White because it's way too creamy looking next to it.
Carrara has quite an overall blue-gray undertone which will look cold and wrong if you get the white wrong.
There's nothing wrong with choosing an off-white or cream to go with Carrara, you just need to be prepared to repeat it, like in this kitchen with the wallpaper. Or on the walls like in this bathroom (below).
Keep in mind, if you haven't "repeated" it and it doesn't perfectly match, you might not even think about it or notice it. Some people (like me) are simply more sensitive to all the varying tones so if this applies to you, then keep reading.
Giannetti Home (source)
This is BM 1558 Fieldstone or Behr 790D4. When I first saw this kitchen and heard the all the buzz about it, I pulled out my deck and was shocked at how green it looked all by itself (because it's a blue/green). Compare it to 1656 (something bluer) and it's definitely green, but if you compare it to green 509, suddenly it looks really blue.
When I consult with my clients, the way that I lead them to the right colour is ALWAYS by comparing to other colours. If you look at a colour all by itself without context it's almost impossible to make a decision that way. If you are just learning how to find the right colours for your clients, having my large colour samples is an absolute necessity. All the whites I'm talking about in this post are in the collection.
And as nothing brings gray to life faster than clean fresh colours, painting your cabinets a happy colour over simply a white will look amazing with Carrara countertops. Here's a pale yellow one, it's BM Light Khaki or Behr Cream Silk 370E-2.
In general if you go past all the whites and choose a "colour" to go with Carrara then it will simply read white and no longer like a "blue-gray." It's when you are dealing with "whites" that you'll be visually comparing the gray of the countertops with the white or cream you have chosen for the cabinets.

If you would like your home to fill you with happiness every time you walk in, contact me.
To make sure the undertones in your home are right, get some large samples!

City Officials Gather for Media Violence Summit
Karpman, Michael, Nation's Cities Weekly
City leaders and other key stakeholders gathered in Indianapolis last Tuesday to discuss the impact of media violence on children and youth and the role cities can play in helping parents protect their children. Hosted by NLC President Bart Peterson, mayor of Indianapolis, the Media Violence Summit brought together local elected officials, media and entertainment industry representatives, academic experts, parent organizations and youth to open a national dialogue that will engage communities across the country.
"In recent years, our communities have witnessed far too many incidents of extreme violence by and against children and youth," said Peterson, who became concerned about media violence after the Columbine High School tragedy. Following that incident, Mayor Peterson signed a city ordinance restricting access to violent arcade games, which was struck down by a federal appeals court. Other localities and states have tried similar approaches and witnessed similar outcomes.
"To begin bringing people together, and to try to find common ground, is a more promising and productive approach than fighting battles in the courts," said Peterson.
The summit coincided with the deadliest shooting attack in U.S. history, in which 33 people were killed at Virginia Tech the previous day.
"I think it would be particularly irresponsible to suggest that there is a message from yesterday that is a dominant lesson for today's conference other than there are a lot of us who continue to be concerned about our violent culture," said Peterson.
The summit was broadcast live on the Web. An archive of the webcast of the summit can be viewed on NLC's website.
Disturbing Trends
Moderator Terence Smith, former PBS media correspondent and senior producer for The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, kicked off the summit by introducing Robert Wehling, board chair of Common Sense Media and founder of the Family Friendly Programming Forum.
Wehling described how changing technology has dramatically increased the exposure of young people to violent images. The average American youth spends more than 45 hours per week exposed to media and will witness 40,000 killings and 200,000 violent incidents by the time they turn 18 years old.
"What's new today is the 24-7, on-demand media environment in which kids are making their way through childhood and adolescence," said Wehling. "Is violent media the sole cause of the problems we're dealing with? Of course not. But ... it's got to have a desensitization effect--it's got to be a contributor."
According to Wehling, "We're dealing with a fundamental cultural issue in our society that you in this room--neighborhood by neighborhood, and family by family--have to deal with. Those of you who are elected officials I think need to use your bully pulpit on a day-to-day basis to try to change things."
Media Matters
A diverse panel responded with their perspectives, Savannah, Ga., Mayor Otis Johnson related that young people have always imitated what they see on television, but disputes are now being settled with guns instead of fists. Andrew Warshauer, an Indianapolis high school student, highlighted access to guns and the presence of parental figures as important factors influencing whether youth act out violence they see in the media.
For some young people, the violence in their neighborhoods has reached the point where video games can be viewed as a training tool for survival, according to Sgt. Timothy Knight of the Indianapolis Police Department.
In addition, research shows that exposure to any type of violence, real or virtual, affects children. "If a child is exposed to any behavior repeatedly, that's how they learn," said Jeff McIntyre of the American Psychological Association.
Noting a "national obsession with trying to be shocked," Robby Saldana, a high school senior from Grand Rapids, Mich. …

Score a lot. Give up more.
Jesus everytime we take the lead we go ahead and give it back on an easy layup. Play defense!!!!
And we are wasting this streak by THJ by not playing fucking defense. Seriously.
Excited, we have to play defense.
Shoot the J. Shoot it.
maybe? maybe??????
Wow. Our D will not get us through these next games without a loss unless there's a serious change in attitude and effort
Softer than baby buster at a Kenny g concert..
fucking WNBA foul. If you're going to foul, FOUL!
Holy Hardaway!!
Is it Adidas' uniform designer's goal to mask any identifiable information about the players or schools on their jerseys?
Did you just turn on the game because we got all the complaining out of the way in the first couple min.
"Deshaun Thomas is making a home in the paint again tonight." Missing 4 of 5 shots there. Stfu.
Mother of god!!!! Fck
GRIII tried to do too much. Should have passed it out.
Big puppy playing like a little kitty.
Smith traveled..no call. Then Ohio hits a 3
imagine how bad this game would be in TH3 didnt randomly turn into Reggie Miller
Somebody else touched on it. This team is a pillow case. A cute, fluffy dog. Awesome to look at, not tough at all.
Fuck Ohio.
when our defense is pure crap. am i watching rich rod ball or something?
Horford seriously blows
We got shots blocked around the rim so f'ing much. It's infuriating.
We can't make a lay-up.
And fuck you Dick.
Oh darn, Matta thinks the refs missed one...
Aww they missed a call for Ohio state...what about the 11 they missed for Michigan
I don't understand why we don't ever do this.
Garbage and shut the fuck up vitale that was a flop.. Kind of like your last coaching gig.
This is a terrible defensive effort.
Arrrrgh, the 5 pt deficit feels like it's 15.
Holy shit....
D is very frustrating to watch.

Among 1,633,877 singleton births in the study, there were 6,054 stillbirths; 3,609 neonatal deaths; and 1,578 postneonatal deaths. A total of 29,228 (1.79 percent) of mothers had filled a prescription for an SSRI during pregnancy. The researchers found that women exposed to an SSRI had higher rates of stillbirth (4.62 vs. 3.69 per 1000) and postneonatal death (1.38 vs. 0.96 per 1000) than those who did not. The rate of neonatal death was similar between groups (2.54 vs. 2.21 per 1000). "Yet in multivariate models, SSRI use was not associated with stillbirth, neonatal death, or postneonatal death. Estimates were further attenuated when stratified by previous hospitalization for psychiatric disease," the authors write.
"The present study of more than 1.6 million births suggests that SSRI use during pregnancy was not associated with increased risks of stillbirth, neonatal death, or postneonatal death. The increased rates of stillbirth and postneonatal mortality among infants exposed to an SSRI during pregnancy were explained by the severity of the underlying maternal psychiatric disease and unfavorable distribution of maternal characteristics such as cigarette smoking and advanced maternal age."
"However, decisions regarding use of SSRIs during pregnancy must take into account other perinatal outcomes and the risks associated with maternal mental illness," the researchers conclude.

Investors to scrutinize Bernanke's latest remarks
The chairman signaled that even after the Fed starts to slow its monthly bond purchases, its overall policies will keep rates low. It plans, for example, to keep its investment holdings constant to avoid causing long-term rates to rise too fast. It also plans to keep short-term rates at record lows at least until unemployment reaches 6.5 percent.
And Bernanke has said 6.5 percent unemployment is a threshold, not a trigger. The Fed might decide to keep its benchmark short-term rate near zero even after unemployment falls that low.
Hiring has improved since the Fed's bond buying began. Employers have created an average of 202,000 jobs a month this year, up from 180,000 in the previous six months.
The June jobs report showed employers added 195,000 jobs last month and 70,000 more in April and May than it had previously forecast.
Still, unemployment remains high and economic growth has been modest the past three quarters.
The economy grew at a subpar 1.8 percent annual rate in the January-March quarter. Many economists think growth in the April-June quarter weakened to an annual rate of 1 percent or less. They foresee a moderate rebound in the second half of this year.
