CAPE VINCENT To amplify the voices of women who wish to bring about a positive change in Cape Vincent, four elected officials are reaching out to a cross-section of community members to bring some fresh ideas to the table.
Town Councilwoman Michelle T. Oswald said Voices is not a formal group, but a series of gatherings for women whose voices are not often heard because they do not have the time to attend public meetings or somehow feel as if their opinions are not valued.
We were trying to have a conversation with women who dont show up to meetings and asked them what they wanted to see in Cape Vincent, she said.
She and three other women village Trustees Elisabeth P. Brennan and Pamela Youngs and town Justice Colleen M. Knuth have been facilitating the brainstorming sessions.
Until now, the meetings have been invitation-only because the facilitators want to hear from women who normally do not show up at political functions or public meetings, or already are heavily involved in community development.
We made no suggestions at all. We asked these women, What are your hopes and dreams for Cape Vincent? And they started sharing their ideas on how to enhance the community and their families lives, Ms. Knuth said, adding that women who wish to participate in the Voices projects are encouraged to approach any of the four facilitators.
Through these meetings, the women were able to identify a few key missions theyd like to tackle, including adding scenic murals to a couple of downtown buildings and working with the local youth commission to offer more programs to keep young people active.
Some of their other proposals would require financial assistance from the local governments and the community, such as installing a welcoming archway in the village of Cape Vincent.
Ms. Knuth said Voices also hopes to help organize more winter events to keep the community more active and attract more visitors to Cape Vincent in the off season.

What can simulations of a flu outbreak in the city of Chicago teach us about how to better respond to a real-world pandemic? Writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of scientists reports on work using three different computer models examining how a pandemic influenza outbreak might travel through a city similar in size to Chicago.
The models examined what effects different responses to an outbreak, from issuing antiviral treatments to closing down schools, would have on the spread of a hypothetical flu outbreak. In this segment, we'll talk with one of the researchers about the work, and about how lessons learned in a simulated outbreak might translate into the real world.

The pads on the toes of a gecko are coated with microscopic hills and valleys, structures that help the lizards to cling to ceilings, walls, and other difficult-to-climb surfaces. Now, writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers describe how they have designed a surface with similar structures to create a sticky, strong, biodegradable surgical adhesive bandage that could be used in a variety of medical applications.
Studying the way gecko feet work inspired the team "to create a patterned interface to enhance the surface area of contact and thus the overall strength of adhesion," said Jeffrey Karp, one of the authors of the paper. Join guest host Joe Palca in this segment for a conversation with Karp about the work, and why scientists are taking design tips from lizards.

What do you get for the little space fan with dreams of stars and rocket flights? From a Lego spaceship to engineering toys, little astronomers everywhere are bound to find something perfect for them on Space.com's gift guide.
4M 3D Solar System Mobile
This 3D solar system model is perfect for any little astronomy enthusiast. The planets are glow in the dark, and the snap together mobile could be a perfect project for any small space fan that wants to learn the names of the planets.
Why we love it: The $14.95 kit is a great and interactive way to start learning the positions of the planets and what they look like.
Celestial Buddies Comet
Celebrate the historic landing of a Europe's Philae spacecraft on a comet with this incredibly cute Celestial Buddies Comet ($30.99 on Amazon). The plushy comet has a happy little surprised look on its face as it makes its way around a little one's imaginary solar system.
Why we love it: Celestial Buddies makes a series of wonderful little stuffed cosmic objects including the Sun, Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter (with the Great Red Spot for a nose!) and Saturn that are as adorable as they are cuddly. They're a great way to introduce objects in space to tiny explorers.
Shadow FX Color Projector from Crayola
The Shadow FX Color Projector from Crayola ($17.49 on Amazon) is a great, creative toy for anyone. The projector is designed so that kids can play with animation and drawing. The projector's multicolored lights shine on a transparent board that allows young space fans to draw and erase to their hearts' content.
Why we love it: The projector is inventive, fun and allows creativity to shine along with special animations made by anyone with an erasable marker.
Moon in My Room by Uncle Milton
Uncle Milton's Moon in My Room ($22.95) is fun for kids of all ages. The toy tracks the phases of the moon. The lunar face is illuminated in stages to represent the various phases the moon goes through during the course of each month.
Why we love it: The moon is the easiest object to see in the night sky, and most obvious one to track changes. What Moon in My Room does is pluck that overgrown nightlight out of the sky and pop it on your wall. A CD that comes with the toy also gives kids a guided tour of the moon. And if the moon's not enough, you can bring in the planets with Uncle Milton's Solar System in My Room, or just stick with the Earth in My Room.
Giant Mars Volcano
Geek & Co. Science Line by Thames & Kosmos
Credit: Thames & Kosmos, LLC
The Geek & Co. Science Line of science kits for kids by Thames & Kosmos teaches tiny space fans how to create a model of a Martian volcano, grow crystals, build a music-making UFO and other science-minded activities. Our favorite is the Giant Mars Volcano ($18.21 on Amazon), because, well, Mars.
Why we love it: The best part of the Giant Mars Volcano kit is that it's science in action. Not only do you get to mold your own Olympus Mons, but you get to watch it explode, too. And if volcanoes aren't your bag, the sheer variety of different kits is sure to hold something any little will truly love.
Jedi Telescope by Uncle Milton
Uncle Milton has taken the classic viewfinder and given it a sci-fi twist with the Jedi Telescope ($19.98). Part of Uncle Milton's Star Wars Science series, it serves as both a basic hand-held spyglass for viewing far off objects, as well as viewfinder to glimpse Coruscant, Tatooine, Mustafar and some of the other more famous (or infamous) planets and spacecraft in the Star Wars Universe.
Why we love it: While essentially a toy, the Jedi Telescope comes with a booklet that compares Star Wars objects with their real-life counterparts. The Death Star is no moon, it's a space station. And the Jedi Telescope tells you that the International Space Station, while not moon-sized, does orbit the Earth 250 miles up.
GoldieBlox and the Builder's Survival Kit
GoldieBlox is a company on a mission. The organization has put out a series of toys designed to help girls get into math and engineering from a young age. Their biggie is Goldieblox and The Builder's Survival Kit ($54.48 on Amazon) which comes with more than 190 building pieces for various construction projects, and introduces her cranky cat Benjamin.
Why we love it: GoldieBlox building kits come with a storybook about the kit that encourages girls to invest in the story behind their project. And we've seen it work, too, as Space.com managing editor Tariq Malik's 5-year-old daughter can attest. The Dunk Tank project is one of several kits available, including a dunk tank ($18.22) spinning machine ($21.99), a parade float ($18.49), a movie machine ($29.99) and a new GoldieBlox action figure with a zip line ($24.99).
LEGO Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!
"The LEGO Movie" entranced viewers of all ages, and now, space fans young and old can put together Benny's LEGO Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP (from $98.88 on Amazon) from the hit film. The 1980s blue spaceman helped save the day with his spaceship idea, and now, people everywhere can use their imaginations to build it themselves or any other spaceship, too.
Why we love it: This LEGO kit is a perfect combination of vintage and new LEGO space projects that can be a joy to build, as Space.com's Tariq Malik and his daughter found out. It's an EPIC build, so be prepared to spend at least a few hours at a time. It took us 12 hours over three days to assemble, but the result was totally worth it.
LittleBits Space Kit
The littleBits Space Kit ($199) may be a hefty price tag, but it aims are just as lofty: teaching small space fans how to create some amazing science through simple circuits. The kit has a series of instructions about how to build a Mars rover, explore light spectra and even create a basic satellite dish by attaching its modules to everyday items (like boxes or other items). The space kit has 12 modules that snap together to form the different space-themed builds, perfect for any little space explorer with a good imagination.
Why we love it: It's smart fun and approved by NASA scientists. At first we were a bit intimidated at the thought of working with circuits, but after our resident 5-year-old created an iPod speaker within minutes of opening the box, we got over it. There is also the littleBits Base Kit ($99) for starting out, and the littleBits Premium Kit for more in-depth projects.
Laser Pegs National Geographic Space 24-in-1
Credit: Laser Pegs Ventures, LLC
Why build one spaceship, when you can build 24? Laser Pegs National Geographic Space set packs 24 building block projects into one box, for hours of light-up brick play. The Space set is one of five Laser Pegs sets developed with National Geographic themed kits to foster interest in children in the sciences. Other kits include Oceans (6-in-1), Animals (12-in-1), Dinosaurs (24-in-1) and Landmarks & Archaeology (a whopping 30-in-1).
Why we love it: Laser Pegs like LEGO sets, offers kids a chance for creative expression while also emphasizing building acumen. Ensuring smooth connections between light-up Laser Pegs, in particular, shows how to complete circuits from power to light brick. And let's be honest, turning out the lights to see your creation shine is just plain cool.
Ozobot is a little robot that comes with a lot of fun options. Using Ozobot ($49.99), kids and families can play different games using tablets and the small toy. The robot is able to follow different colored lines on an iPad or other surfaces, rolling through mazes and tracing outlines of images.
What we like about it: Ozobot is a lot of fun for the while family. Games played with the robot can be cooperative or competitive, and all of them are spatially intriguing. The initial kit is a single-pack, but Ozobot also makes a Dual-Pack ($99.99) so you can race them against each other.
MiP from WowWee
While we're on the robot subject, if you're looking for a small automaton to drive around, then WowWee's MiP ($95.94) may be the 'bot for you. The small two-wheeled robot can follow hand gesture directions using its GestureSense technology and can be controlled via smartphone via a free remote control app compatible with iOS and Android.
Why we love it: MiP is not just a cute robot to drive around, it oozes personality with its sleek look and amazing tricks. The robot can dance, roam and drive up small inclines. It can even balance objects (even another MiP!) on a small tray (included). We loved MiP so much that it won the Robots category of our Space Age Toy Awards at Toy Fair.
Oregon Scientific Smart Globe Star
Like Oregon Scientific's Smart Globe Earth, the Smart Globe Star ($99.74) lets kids explore the universe at the touch of a smart pen. Little astronomers can learn more about the 88 officially recognized constellations, the stars of the night sky and space facts with 30 activities designed to help kids learn.
Why we love it: With its eductational activities and 6 constellation games, Smart Globe Star is a great way for kids to learn more about the night sky and constellations in a fun, interactive way. As you'd except, it has internal lighting to display the constellations in the dark, and does glow on its own when the lights go out. But if Earth is more your bag, have no fear. Oregon Scientific's Smart Globe Horizon ($94.93) puts our home planet on center stage with 30 educational tasks covering everything from nation capitals to world leaders and different currency. It also syncs up with your computer for updates as needed.

DIY: Headboard turned Coat RackMonday, August 24th, 2009
One month ago, I bought a spindly old fashioned twin headboard at the local thrift store with every intention of turning it into a bench. I'd seen the idea traveling around on some blogs, and loved it. The headboard cost me a total of $12 dollars.
After some thought, I decided I had less use for a bench, and greater use for a coat rack in my guest space. I had a bare wall, so why not fashion the headboard into a rack for scarves, sweaters, jackets, robes, or hats for my guests ? You may recall, I've done this before, turning a footboard into a message center with some white and chalkboard paint.
So I decided to do it again, but this time with a headboard. I also used a different paint technique to give my coat rack an antiqued look. Now, the twin headboard has been transformed into an architecturally decorative piece, providing both form and function.
Follow along and I'll show how I turned this:

Johnny Carson
Library of Congress, NY World Collection
Johnny Carson took over the "Tonight" show from Jack Paar on Oct. 1, 1962, and, preferring to retire at the top of his game, voluntarily surrendered it to Jay Leno on May 22, 1992. During those three decades, he became the biggest, most popular star American television has known. Virtually every American with a television set saw and heard a Carson monologue at some point in those years. At his height, between 10 million and 15 million Americans slept better weeknights because of him.
Mr. Carson was often called "the king of late night," and he wielded an almost regal power. Beyond his enormous impact on popular culture, Mr. Carson more than any other individual shifted the nexus of power in television from New York to Los Angeles, with his decision in 1972 to move his show from its base in Rockefeller Center in New York to NBC's West Coast studios in Burbank, Calif. That same move was critical in the changeover of much of television from live to taped performances.
In his monologue and in his time, Mr. Carson impaled the foibles of seven presidents and their aides as well as the doings of assorted nabobs and stuffed shirts from the private sector: corporate footpads and secret polluters, tax evaders, preening lawyers, idiosyncratic doctors, oily accountants, defendants who got off too easily and celebrities who talked too much.
All these oddments were sliced and diced so neatly, so politely, so unmaliciously, with so much alacrity, that even the stuffiest conservative Republicans found themselves almost smiling at Mr. Carson's Nixon-Agnew jokes and uptight doctrinaire liberal Democrats savored his pokes at Lyndon B. Johnson and the Kennedys. Members of the public couldn't say whether they were on Johnny Carson's side or he was on theirs. All they knew was that they liked him and felt they knew him - a claim most of those who were close to him in his life, including his wives, family and "Tonight" staff members, would not make with much confidence. They knew Mr. Carson was intensely private, a self-described loner who shunned the spotlight when off camera.

A Little Help
Drama, Comedy
When Laura's husband dies from a heart abnormality that goes undetected by an ER physician, she is a deer in the headlights. Her intrusive mother and sister pressure her to send her son Dennis to a private school and force her to file a malpractice lawsuit against the doctor who treated Bob.This places Laura in the middle of two huge lies: at his new school, Dennis tells the other kids that his father was a fireman who died in 9/11. Further, Laura knows the malpractice suit is based on false pretenses. Bob didn't tell the ER doctor what he was doing when he had previous heart symptoms, because he was with his lover. As Laura struggles, she finds one person with whom she can connect and communicate -- Kathy's husband, Paul.

Wall hoods perform the double duty of keeping the air in your kitchen clean, while also helping protect the undersides of your kitchen cabinets from grease buildup and harmful steam. When mounted on the wall, an exhaust hood can be vented through the wall, expelling dirty air outside, though many users choose to simply set their oven hood to filter and recirculate the air.
Whatever size wall hood you need, whether traditional or a chimney hood, Abt carries hundreds of models to choose from, including top brands like Broan, KitchenAid , and Zephyr.
Featured Wall Hood VideosWall hoods come in a variety of sizes, to match ranges of all widths, and to fit into cabinet openings of heights and depths. For those without cabinets above their range, a chimney hood provides proper venting and a unique style element which is perfect as an exhaust hood. Or go stylish with a downdraft vent.

What's in a Name? Understanding Pet Food Labels
Did you know that the name of a pet food is far more important than just
a brand identifier or cute marketing technique? The way a product is
named, including the order of ingredient words is strictly regulated.
For example, "Chicken and Rice Dog Food" is very different from "Rice
and Chicken Dog Food and even "Chicken and Rice Flavored Dog food". - Read More...

"Great product @ 1/2 the price"
This is great for training. Great for tracking as well. Jeffers price is almost 1/2 the price of the local store.
"The Best roll for training rewards!"
I've trained dogs for more than 25 years and THIS is the best roll I've found for training rewards in my career. Clean food, USA sourced and made, and absolutely the BEST consistency for rewards! While others tend to be hard to cut when refrigerated and crumble in the pouch, Happy Howie's is consistently easy to cut and will not crumble in the pouch. Add to that the focus I get from the dogs, and you have an unbeatable winner!
"Great stuff!"
All three of my dogs LOVE this stuff. I can get them to do just about anything when these treats are involved. I love that they only have a few ingredients and no chemicals.
"Great to dehydrate"
With all the problems with Chicken jerky from China I am leery about buying any jerky period! I thought I would try something different. My German Shepherds LOVE these rolls so I thought why not try to dehydrate them and use for treats as I used to use the chicken jerky. Oh My Gosh!! THEY LOVE LOVE LOVE these sliced and dehydrated! SO easy and so good for them! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these!!!!
"Affordable, healthy, and dogs love 'em"
We cut these up into tiny cubes, and use them for training motivation. My dogs stand at attention when we get this out. They love them. Really affordable, too!
"Great training motivator"
Excellent, healthy and affordable training treat!
"Can't keep my dog away from the fridge!!!"
My dog is so crazy about these meat rolls, she is always whining and barking by the fridge wanting more. It is a great treat!!!
"Two Words"
DOGGY CRACK! This treat is incredible. I'm never buying the other big name dog food roll again

In response to hundreds of reader inquiries—well, at least three—I'm going to devote this week's column to describing some of the other websites I read every week. If some in the list below are new to you, I hope you'll check them out. You may find yet another "must read" columnist you'll want to check out every week.
But we're also going to practice equal time here. I encourage you to use the comments section at the end of this week's Straight Talk to tell me about a writer or website you find especially worthwhile. After all, the more readers the good guys and gals get, the better for all of us.
So what do I read every week? Here are nearly a dozen columns and columnists I commend to your attention.
*Personal Liberty Digest. What did you expect? Of course I'm going to mention my own publisher first. After all, this is where you'll find three of my efforts every week—Straight Talk and Chip Shots on Friday and This Week in History on Wednesday. But PLD publishes a bunch of other important stuff every week. I find the columns by Bob Livingston and John Myers especially worth reading. I like the book reviews and letters to Bob as well. If www.personalliberty.com is not already white-listed as one of your favorites you should do that now.
*Human Events does triple duty for me. The weekly newspaper is one of the oldest conservative publications in the country. It's been produced continuously since 1944, and while it's sometimes a tad too "Republican" for me, every issue has a story that the mainstream media have somehow missed.
But Human Events isn't just a newsweekly. It is also home to several columnists, including two of my all-time favorites, Ann Coulter and Pat Buchanan. Pat's knowledge of history and his powerful defense of Americanist values are simply unmatched. And nobody can skewer liberals faster or with more deadly accuracy than Coulter. I usually like what she says; but I often love how she says it.
Thank goodness she gave up a law practice for journalism. Find them (and many others, including Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee and Chuck Norris) at www.humanevents.com.
*The New American is both a twice-a-month publication and an invaluable website; both are jam-packed with articles and opinion pieces you simply won't find anywhere else. The magazine was formed by the merger of two previous publications—American Opinion, where I once contributed several articles, and The Review of the News, where I was the original news editor. TNA is owned by the John Birch Society, so you can count on getting a hard-right interpretation of the major stories of the day. Check it out at www.thenewamerican.com.
*Gary Bauer's "End of Day Report." I have long suspected that Gary is triplets; otherwise I don't understand how he accomplishes as much as he does. His commentary on the day's events in Washington is, as his website says, "unapologetically pro-family, pro-life, and pro-growth." It is also unmistakably pro-Israel and pro-Christian. No pabulum here, nothing but strong red meat. See for yourself at www.cwfpac.com.
*Best of the Web Today (The Wall Street Journal Online). Nobody can accuse James Taranto of being unbiased. There isn't a liberal politician or pundit he doesn't delight in exposing. And I've got to tell you, he does it a lot better than most. He does it in depth, on several topics, nearly every day of the week. Unfortunately, this one is not a freebie—you have to be a subscriber to the online version of The Wall Street Journal to get it. But The Journal publishes so much other worthwhile material (including Peggy Noonan every Saturday) that I recommend signing up. Go to www.online.wsj.com and see if you don't agree.
Politics isn't all I read about, of course. In fact, my literary consumption these days is pretty evenly divided between politics, economics and history—with the occasional mystery story thrown in. So now let's shift from the political battlegrounds to the economic ones. Here are some of my favorite financial websites.
*The Daily Reckoning was started by my friend Bill Bonner—the founder and president of Agora Publications—a dozen years ago, when he decided to "figure out this Internet thing." What began as a daily commentary sent to a few friends over the Internet has grown into a publishing phenomenon, with a large stable of contributors—so many, in fact, that the daily ezine can't hold them all. Nobody tells "truth to power" better than Bill. See for yourself at www.dailyreckoning.com.
*John Mauldin and Gary Halbert are two other friends who write a column every week about some truly important issues. John concentrates more on the economic side of the ledger (and often gives you more charts in one issue than I want to see in a month). But for those who like really thoughtful—and thought-provoking—economic analysis, go to www.investorsinsight.com and read a couple of his articles. Chances are you'll be back for more.
While you're at the Investors Insight website, do yourself a favor and read Gary Halbert's latest essay. I particularly like the way Gary takes one major subject each week and really gnaws on it for a while. I have found his research to be impeccable, his analysis sound, and his conclusions sometimes frightening but always thoughtful. He is definitely another "worth your time" writer.
*Daily Wealth gives more genuinely valuable contrarian investment advice than any other website I know of. And they do it for free (if you don't count all the ads you'll receive) six times a week. I've known many of their columnists for years and consider them personal friends. But friendship aside, let me assure you, you could do a lot worse than to listen to Steve Sjuggerud, Tom Dyson and Daily Wealth's other contributors. You'll find them at www.dailywealth.com.
So there you have it—almost a dozen columnists and commentators who are on my "must read" list every week. Of course there are many other writers whose work I enjoy and many other websites I use in my research. But these are the ladies and gentlemen I would read every week, whether I had a column to write or not.
So please give them a look; you just might like them. And not only like them, but learn from them as well.
Now, I look forward to learning from you.
Until next time, keep some powder dry.
—Chip Wood

Let me know what you think of this poem. It is very rough, but i think it is alright. If you have any constructive criticism, let me know...
You know not what lies ahead, but you know the lies of the world;
The world, oppressive, forcing it's norms into your mind,
But rebel, me hearties, rebel!
For He shows us the way, pointing a Noodly Appendage
In the right direction.
Close your ears, my Pastafarians,
Let not the views of others sway ye from Him.
Stand up strong against the oppressors!
They will not take away our beliefs!
For His Saucy love is loyal and true.
Lift your spirits high, my brethrens,
Show the world your love for Him:
Our creator, His Pastanessly Greatness.
For he hast given us everything,
Yet he demands nothing.
They may not see him, but we do see him;
His Noodly Greatness aloft in the sky.
He watches our every move,
And he is there when we need him most,
Lending His Noodly Appendage.

Applications of ISIS technology span a wide range of software-intensive systems from small embedded devices, through real-time distributed systems, to globally deployed complex systems. Software is increasingly essential to the functions of these systems, and it is also the primary means of adapting them to their environments and users. Our research interests lie in the theoretical foundations, modeling, design, engineering, and educational aspects of these systems.
Vanderbilt University Institute for Software Integrated Systems (ISIS) celebrated 15 years of innovative teaching, research and development at the Student Life Center on November 4th, 2013. ISIS has grown from the initial group of ten people to over 150 members today. We have received over $136 million in extramural research funding since 1998. Our sponsors include the National Science Foundation, DARPA, NASA as well as various companies. Check out some of the project posters that showcase a few of our recent projects. Read the Vanderbilt School of Engineering news article about the event.
For the 15th anniversary of ISIS, we have put together a brief video summarizing the main research directions and novel educational activities of the institute. Our director, Janos Sztipanovits describes our mission and various PIs introduce their most recent projects. For example, the DARPA Adaptive Vehicle Make (AVM) program and the National Science Foundation's Frontiers project called Foundations for Resilient Cyber-Physical Systems are highlighted by Ted Bapty, Sandeep Neema and Xenofon Koutsoukos. Doug Schmidt emphasizes the collaborative nature of our work, while Tom Withrow describes how we involve undergraduate students in our research.
The articles in the new ISIS brochure offer you a taste of our current flagship projects in the domains of common operating platform environments, cyber-physical systems, data mining and machine learning, STEM education, systems security and privacy, and wireless sensor networks. You'll also learn about our long-term investments and results in model-integrated computing and middleware for distributed real-time and embedded systems. In addition to pushing the boundaries of science and engineering, we create technologies and tools that solve real-world problems that improve our daily activities and quality of living.

The ISIS team won the first tournament of the DARPA Spectrum Challenge—a competitive demonstration of robust radio technologies that seek to communicate reliably in congested and contested electromagnetic environments without direct coordination or spectrum preplanning. The ISIS team, led by Peter Volgyesi, beat the other 17 teams that made it to the final elimination round. In each match, two teams battled to dominate the spectrum, with the winner being the first to transmit files of random data from a source radio to a destination radio. The ISIS team won all its matches and did not even let opponents transmit a single packet.

By Richard Wolf and Kevin Johnson, USA Today
WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court turned Wednesday from the issue of banning same-sex marriage to whether the federal government can deny benefits to those already married, questioning for the second consecutive day whether proponents of traditional unions have authority to bring their case to the nation's highest court.
At issue is the Defense of Marriage Act, a 1996 law passed overwhelmingly by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. At the time, no states had legalized same-sex marriage, but now nine states and the District of Columbia have done so -- and legally married gay couples are being denied federal spousal benefits.
Lawyers on both sides of the issue faced pointed questioning Wednesday from nearly the entire panel of justices who took issue with a range of matters, from the federal government's decision to no longer defend the law -- declared unconstitutional in lower federal courts -- to the authority of a congressional panel to take up the law's defense.
"You are asking us to do something that we have never done before," Chief Justice John Roberts told U.S. Deputy Solicitor General Sri Srinivasan, referring to the government's decision not to defend the law though it is continuing to enforce it. "It is totally unprecedented."
TUESDAY: Supreme Court justices question gay marriage bans
Citing what he described as a "new regime" at the Obama Justice Department, Justice Antonin Scalia said that there was "no rational argument" for the government's decision not to defend the existing law.
"I don't want these cases to come before this court all the time," Scalia said, suggesting that the decisions on whether to defend or enforce existing law were part of a "new world."
If the Obama administration had decided that the marriage law was unconstitutional, Roberts asked at one point, "Why doesn't he have the courage of his convictions" and simply not enforce it?
Paul Clement, representing Republican House leaders who are defending the law, faced equally sharp questions about the congressional group's standing to intervene.
"The House is the proper authority to defend (the law)," Clement told the justices.
The questions on the court's authority in the matter were debated for nearly an hour before the two sides moved to the merits of the case. It's possible the justices ultimately will sidestep a far-reaching decision when they issue their ruling, most likely in late June
The case before the court involves Edith Windsor, an 83-year-old New York widow who married her longtime partner, Thea Spyer, in 2007. When Spyer died in 2009, Windsor was socked with a $363,000 estate tax bill that she would have avoided if Thea had been Theo, because heterosexual spouses can transfer wealth tax-free
Now in failing health but a hero within the gay rights community, Windsor came to court Wednesday to hear her lawyer present her case. And not only her lawyer - the federal government also takes her side, which is both a benefit and a potential curse.
On Tuesday the court debated California's Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that banned gay marriage in the state. The justices could have avoided taking the Proposition 8 case, but they were forced to tackle DOMA because it had been declared unconstitutional at the lower court level. They chose from among several overlapping cases, including challenges to the law from New England, New York and California.
The plaintiffs in those cases - married couples, widows and widowers in states where gay marriage is or previously was legal - are seeking the same federal benefits accorded opposite-sex couples, from joint tax returns to survivor benefits.
The Defense of Marriage Act has two main sections, only one of which - defining marriage in federal laws as between a man and a woman - is being contested. Because of it, benefits and programs enjoyed by opposite-sex couples aren't available to gays and lesbians under federal employment, health, tax and other laws. The other provision shields states from having to recognize gay marriages from other states.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced in 2011 that the Obama administration considered DOMA unconstitutional and no longer would defend it in court. Into the breach stepped House Republicans, who argued - to no avail in lower courts - that the law saves needed federal resources and ensures they are distributed equally among the states.
At last count, there were 1,138 provisions in federal laws that listed marital status as a factor in determining benefits, rights and privileges. The list, prepared by the Government Accountability Office, was most recently updated in 2003.
The most prevalent are tax laws. Despite their marriage certificates, gay and lesbian spouses cannot get tax-free health benefits from their employers. That alone costs them about $1,000 a year on average, says Gary Gates, a demographer who studies gay and lesbian trends at the UCLA School of Law's Williams Institute.
Gays and lesbians can't file joint federal tax returns, as heterosexual married couples can, which often saves families thousands of dollars. If gays or lesbians divorce, any alimony is considered a gift subject to taxation, while for opposite-sex couples, it's tax-free. And when a spouse dies, the widow or widower is liable for inheritance taxes; heterosexual couples enjoy a marital deduction.

Radio Feedback: Carly Rae Jepsen's Vomit-Inducing First Time On The Radio
Welcome to Radio Feedback, Radio.com's weekly feature where we ask artists to wax nostalgic on the first time they heard themselves on the radio.
Every artist remembers the first time they heard themselves on the radio, but not many of them can say it made them throw up. Carly Rae Jepsen sat down with Radio.com and spilled the beans (yup, we said it) on what happened the first time she heard herself on the radio.
The second we asked Jepsen if she remembered her first time, a glint came into her eye and a sly smile spread across her face. "Yes," the singer replied, "but it is not G-rated. I'll tell you and you can use it if you want."
Even with that caveat, we had no idea what kind of story we'd be getting into.
Jepsen set the scene, explaining that she'd been out with friends that night and had tried gin martinis for the first time.
"I'd had very little experience with alcohol all together at this point, so [I] was sort of like, 'Well is it kind of like a beer?' Which it's not, my friends! Don't have three gin martinis if you're 5'2″ and about 100 pounds because it's not going to sit well."

Three Mile Island will test all 96 emergency sirens
LONDONDERRY TOWNSHIP, PA (June 21, 2010) – On Thursday, June 24 at 12:15 p.m. EDT all 96 emergency notification sirens in the 10-mile radius around Three Mile Island Generating Station will be sounded for three minutes. Exelon Nuclear is conducting the test in cooperation with Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon and York Counties and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA).
A full three-minute sounding of the sirens is required on an annual basis. TMI conducts routine electronic testing of the sirens on a weekly basis.
Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York counties will activate the sirens from their county 911 Communications Centers. Personnel from TMI cannot sound the sirens; only county emergency management officials have the capability and authority to do so.
The purpose of the sirens is to notify residents to tune into an Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio or television station in case of an emergency at TMI or tornadoes, floods, or other events requiring notification to residents.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 486,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Brüno, the latest work by British comedian Sacha Baron-Cohen, has just achieved the highest-grossing opening weekend for an 18-certificate (i.e. adult-rated) film in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
This 'mockumentary' revolves around the reactions of various celebrities and members of the public to Baron-Cohen's portrayal of the eponymous flamboyantly gay Austrian fashionista. Since those involved believed they were dealing with a genuine rather than fictional character, their responses to his outrageously exaggerated portrayal of stereotypical homosexuality provide a satirical comment on the prejudice and hypocrisy present within a supposedly enlightened modern society.
Extreme reactions provoked by the filming led to Baron-Cohen being both threatened with assault and arrested multiple times, as well as facing subsequent legal action. This mirrors the response to his previous controversial film of the same format, in which he played 'Kazhakhstani' Borat. Not only did this similarly result in legal action, but the ensuing furore culminated in an international diplomatic incident.
Whilst such films may claim to provide a revealing insight into homophobia, anti-semitism, and the like, they also raise uncomfortable questions for the audience themselves. For example, it is debatable as to whether they are truly viewed by all cinema-goers as a sophisticated piece of social commentary, or whether they simply allow the 'politically correct' an opportunity to laugh at otherwise unacceptable stereotypes.
In terms of their technical approach, many of the humorous scenarios featured within these films echo the 'breach studies' of ethnomethodologist Garfinkel, which examined the responses of unsuspecting participants to deliberate violations of social norms.
In a further psychological link, Sacha Baron-Cohen is the cousin of Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at the University of Cambridge.
(And in case you were wondering, 'Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung' is German for 'speed-limit'!)

Vermont Looks at PocketWizards
The Burlington Free Press has a new story about a local business. That local business just happens to be LPA Design, inventor and manufacturer of PocketWizard technology, located in South Burlington.
The article is definitely worth a read, as it gives the seminal history of how the PocketWizard wireless triggering came to be. Who knew, back at a 1995 NBA All-Star game, the fledgling technology would be given its first test after someone's zealous use of a multitool's blade?
We won't give away the full story, but it's an exciting read, especially for anyone who's had to scramble and make technology work in a hurry.

Wolfcam is a stand-alone program.
Wolfcam is a stand-alone program.
hey sample... do you think you could delete your first comment? i need to make it into 2 posts and i dont want another one in between XD
You don't have to copy wolfcam into the quakelive folder
Just extract wolfcam anywere, and into WOLFCAM's baseq3 folder, you have to copy your QL pk3's (maps and other stuff), which you find in quakelive/baseq3
You're not annoying at all, we're here to help.
If it's a program, them it doesn't work, because I can't open it. The Wolfcam is very cool, but it mostly designed for windows(not for linux). Also, I had found a wolfcam turtorial:
Part 1
Part 2
It worked, it worked, It actually worked!!!!!!!!! xDDDDDDDDDD Well, my crappy linux could not open the linux designed program, so I thought, maybe it will run on a windows emulator - Wine. Installed that f*ckin' Wine, try to load a simple program - it hadn't worked , then I tried Wolfcam - And it worked. Well, the cursor is lagging sometimes, but it at least it works. Now, I will try out the Wolfcam features, but I will do it tomorrow, because I'm already exhausted sitting here, near my computer, want to rest. I will write my impressions as well.
P.S It works!!!! xDDDDDDDDD

The Florida 529 Savings Plan offers you the ultimate in flexibility. Simply choose from our investment options, then contribute as much and as often as you'd like to suit your budget and goals. Each investment option, such as our popular age-based option that automatically allocates contributions based on the age of the child, is independently run by professional investment managers.
The funds in your Florida 529 Savings Plan can be used for any qualified higher educational expense, including tuition, room & board, textbooks, graduate school and much more. This gives you extreme flexibility to use the funds as you see fit, for whatever your child may need. And should those needs change during his/her college years, you're free to adjust as well.
There are two primary advantages to a Florida 529 Savings Plan.
First, you can start any time and save for any amount of time. Even if you can't save for your child's entire college education, starting something is always better than doing nothing.
Second, the 11 investment options let you invest in any way you feel comfortable. From more aggressive to more conservative options, and with age-based and fully customized approaches, you have as much control as you want over how much you invest and where it's invested. And as the years go by, you're free to change contribution amounts and how they are allocated at any time.
You may change your investment allocation for new contributions at any time, but the existing balance may be reallocated only once per calendar year.
Funds may be used tax-free to pay for any qualified higher education expense, such as tuition, fees, books, room and board, etc. at schools nationwide.
No, Florida residency is not required. Anyone who is 18 years or older and a U.S. citizen or resident alien may open a Florida 529 Savings Plan at any time for a child or adult, regardless of age, who is a U.S. citizen or resident alien.
Remaining funds in the Florida 529 Savings Plan can be used for graduate courses, transferred to an eligible family member of the child, or refunded to the Account Owner.
Absolutely. The plans work well together. For example, a Florida 529 Savings Plan could be used to pay for books, a computer, room & board, and other qualified higher education expenses, while the Florida Prepaid College Plan pays Tuition and most fees at a Florida College or State University.
The Florida 529 Savings Plan is an investment plan, so you can choose how much and how often you contribute. The only requirement is a $250 initial contribution OR a recurring payment of $25 to get you started. After you've reached the $250 initial contribution, you can change your contribution amount as often as you like.

Leukapheresis Procedures to Obtain Plasma and Lymphocytes for Research Studies on Primary and Chronic HIV-Infected Patients
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
There is evidence that early and aggressive treatment with antiretroviral drugs can prevent the loss of immune cell function that accompanies HIV infection. This study will use leukapheresis (drawing blood, separating out the white cells and returning the blood to the patient) to obtain blood cells from HIV-infected patients in either the acute or chronic stage of infection who are being treated with early highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Leukapheresis is necessary to obtain enough cells to delineate the response of B cells to CD4+ T cell help, the CD8 factors associated with suppression of viral replication and normalization of immune function, and natural killer function relative to HIV disease.
Study participants will be adult (older than 18 years) HIV primary or acutely affected patients (those with a history of exposure to HIV but not yet showing chronic symptoms of HIV disease) and HIV chronically infected patients (those infected with HIV for longer than 12 months or showing other symptoms of HIV disease) who are not receiving HAART at the beginning of the study. The study seeks to enroll 30 primary and 30 chronic patients. Pregnant women will not be enrolled in the study; women who become pregnant will be dropped from the study.
Leukapheresis will be performed on each patient before HAART therapy begins and then three times a year. Each session will take between 1 and 3 hours.
This longitudinal study will enable researchers to examine the function of certain B cells, natural killer cells, and CD8+ T cells in people who do not have chronic HIV disease and in those who do have the disease and are treated with HAART.

|Leukapheresis Procedures to Obtain Plasma and Lymphocytes for Research Studies on Antiretroviral Naive HIV-Infected Patients
- Immunologic and Virologic Assessments [ Time Frame: Throughout the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2002
HIV infection is known to cause profound and irreversible dysfunction of both innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. However, there is mounting evidence that early and aggressive treatment with antiretroviral drugs can prevent loss of immune cell function. In an attempt to further delineate the effect of early antiretroviral therapy (ART) on maintenance of immune cell function, we wish to recruit drug-na(SqrRoot) ve HIVinfected patients who are either in early or chronic stage of infection. The study will require that patients undergo leukapheresis or research blood draw once before and several times after enrollment. Leukapheresis will be used in order to obtain sufficient cells to pursue the following objectives: delineating B cell response to CD4+ T cell help, delineating the effect of ART on persistent HIV reservoirs in CD4+ T cells of infected individuals, and delineating CD8+ T cell-mediated suppression of viral replication and normalization of immune function, and characterizing natural killer (NK) function relative to HIV disease. The required number of mononuclear cells needed to perform these experiments can be easily and safely obtained using leukapheresis procedures in the Clinical Center Apheresis Unit. This protocol is specifically designed to conform to the requirements of the Apheresis Unit for donors to have leukapheresis procedures, but the protocol, by itself, is not an independent research study. Alternatively, whole blood draws will be used in cases where patients are unable to undergo leukapheresis. While this approach will limit extensive functional analyses, informative phenotypic and limited functional analyses can nonetheless be performed.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 65 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Adult (18 years old or older) HIV-1-infected patient

Cosamin DS Joint health supplement capsules
Safe and Economical:
There are no known interaction or serious side effects with Cosamin DS. Exclusive ingredients allow reduction in the number of capsules taken over time.
What is Cosamin DS?
Cosamin DS is the No.1 orthopedic surgeon and rheumatologist recommended brand of chondroitin sulfate/glucosamine. As a joint health supplement, Cosamin DS helps reduce joint pain and stiffness by using ingredients that are safe, effective, and easily absorbed. Cosamin DS is superior to all other brands and has been proven effective in published clinical studies.
How Cosamin DS works?
The two main ingredients in Cosamin DS, TRH122 chondroitin sulfate and FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, stimulate the production of cartilage. In younger, healthier individuals cartilage cells would normally accomplish this task. However, as one ages, cartilage cells die off and are not replaced. This starts a cycle of destruction in the cartilage. There are also enzymes present that degrade cartilage. Glucosamine hydrochloride stimulates cartilage production while chondroitin sulfate inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate has been shown in clinical trials to slow the progression of cartilage deterioration as well as reduce joint pain.
