Inquiry Before Buying:
Based on applications, the molecular spectroscopy market is segmented into pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & biopharmaceuticals, food & beverage testing, environmental testing, academic research institutes, and others. Based on geography, the market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of World (RoW). North America is the largest market for molecular spectroscopy, followed by Europe and Asia. However, the Asian market is slated to grow at the highest rate over the next five years.
In the coming years, the demand for molecular spectroscopy is likely to increase owing to a number of factors such as the stringent quality requirements for drugs and excipients, growing concerns for food safety, extensive usage of molecular spectroscopy technologies by the pharmaceutical industry for the development and quality control of drugs, technological advancements, and increasing life sciences R&D spending. These factors are propelling the growth of this market. However, the high cost of the systems and the need for skilled personnel to operate high-end systems are the major factors hindering the growth of this market.
The major players in this market include ABB Bomem, Inc. (U.S.), Agilent Technologies (U.S.), Bruker Corporation (U.S.), Danaher Corporation (U.S.), FOSS (Denmark), JASCO International Co., Ltd. (Japan), PerkinElmer, Inc. (U.S.), Shimadzu Corporation (Japan), Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (U.S.), and JEOL, Ltd. (Japan).

Borderfree are communities of ordinary people relating with one another locally and worldwide to build green spaces where the human family shares in life's basic needs, and there is no war!
#We want to heal! We're not at peace with global warming, socioeconomic inequalities and wars.
The Afghan Peace Volunteers wish to opt out of the old, unimaginative status quo in Afghanistan, so they've become a Borderfree Community at the Borderfree Nonviolence Community Centre, working together to build viable alternatives by:
- Establishing an organic/permaculture farm in 2015
- Sharing resources through a street kids' program, a winter duvet project and a women's tailoring cooperative
- Relating with all in the human family as friends, without weapons and wars, like through the worldwide Skype conversations of their Global Days of Listening program.
You can be a Borderfree Community wherever you are, in your own room, home, school, workplace, organization, farmland, arts and sports facility, garden, park or in any space where you are with one or more interested persons.
Your community can begin immediately by making small but constructive changes locally, with the vision of living at peace with everyone and with Mother Earth. This creates viable alternatives that free people from 'business-as-usual' systems and routines.
You also connect with other Borderfree Communities worldwide to catch courage, to affirm that you're not the only 'crazy' J people, and to add to humanity's healing globally. We demonstrate to one another that the better world we're building is not a dream, but consists of real relationships and real options that we can feel, touch, and develop together.
We'll wear the Borderfree Blue Scarf to remind ourselves that 'all human beings live under the same blue sky'
Let's build green spaces where the human family shares in life's basic needs, and there is no war!
Every hand of friendship is an act for freedom, so join one another to be Borderfree Communities by writing to email@example.com
The Afghan Peace Volunteers at the Borderfree Nonviolence Community Centre
We are not at peace with the environmental, socioeconomic and military wars waged by the elite 1%.
Our education & media/entertainment systems no longer teach us to think creatively or relate compassionately.
Global warming
Iraq War 2003 & oil-fields
Test-based, economic-driven education
Violent media & entertainment
We wish to build Borderfree Communities, green spaces where the human family shares in life's basic needs, and there's no war!
Creating green spaces
eg organic/permaculture farm
An egalitarian economy

Nonviolent peace building
eg Global Days of Listening
Creative and compassionate education
eg street kids' school
Alternative media
eg Borderfree Theatre
*Agreement of a Borderfree Community
- A commitment to nonviolence
I'm part of a worldwide Borderfree Community that will build green spaces where the human family shares in life's basic needs, and there is no war ! I support:
– Agro-ecology and the use of non-fossil fuel energy
– Egalitarian, non-violent livelihoods and a sharing economy
– Resolving all conflicts in the human family as friends, without weapons and wars
- Being a Borderfree Community in your room, home, school, workplace, organization, farmland, arts and sports facility, garden, park or in any space
This can be of any size and shape, starting from two persons!
- Solidarity with other Borderfree Communities across the world through creative nonviolent actions with the blue scarf or other blue Borderfree symbols.
You can regularly organize various creative nonviolent activities and actions to address the socioeconomic, environmental, military, educational or other injustices in your local community.
How to become a Borderfree Community
- Email us at email@example.com with a simple introduction as below :
I wish to be a Borderfree Community!* ( see *Agreement of Borderfree Community above )
Place of Home/Community/Group/Organization (City/Province/State/Others):
Skype address ( if any ) :
- Skype or communicate online with the Afghan Peace Volunteers and with other Borderfree Communities to encourage, share ideas and build solidarity actions.
Skype address : afghanpeacevolunteers Email : firstname.lastname@example.com
- Make your own Borderfree Blue Scarf or purchase hand-sewn scarves from Afghanistan
NB : Those who are unsure of a commitment to nonviolence may consider signing up as a Borderfree Contact instead of signing up as a Borderfree Community
Borderfree Community World Map
When you've joined as a Borderfree Community, your community will show up on the Borderfree Community world map:
Abdulhai wishes for a better world, a world free of borders
bedun-e-marz', which is 'without borders' in Dari
'Borderfree' believes that all human beings are free and equal members of the human family who live under the same blue sky.
'Borderfree' shuns weapons and all forms of violence.
'Borderfree' does not seek political power, and it is not left or right or center wing in its views. It focuses on using non-violent actions to resolve conflicts in a reconciliatory and restorative way.
Borderfree' is a non-profit network. It will not be funded by any government. Its funds will come from the people.
'Borderfree' is not a faith-based group, even while it seeks to practice human virtues and values.

Anglers from across the country tow their boats to Arkansas to sample the Natural State's storied fishing for largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass. But anglers shouldn't overlook the state's excellent striped bass and white bass fishing.
Powroznik, Mullins and Horton are underrated pros who are likely to shine on Chickamauga.
All of these guys can fish grass. It may just come down to who averages a little bit more per fish to make a difference of a lot of points.
As expected, change remains the name of the game in this tournament.
B.A.S.S. photographer James Overstreet catches up with the Elite Series anglers as they take on Lake Dardanelle.
Finding a confident angler prior to the Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament at Lake Dardanelle was like searching for clear water in the Arkansas River right now: Extremely difficult.
After seeing the recent rains and dealing with the time of the year, here are the picks that some of the Elite anglers believe will do well this week on Lake Dardanelle.
Take time to look at the multiple events the pros have fished on Dardanelle so you can estimate who will repeat their good fortune.
Several pros aren't likely to draw lots of players' attention but could still rack up big Fantasy Fishing points.
Most bass tournaments are won by someone catching a big fish, but the Evan Williams Bourbon Elite Series Tournament at Toledo Bend has taken that to a higher degree of certainty than normal.

Agapets: God's Special Little Creations Filled with His Love
CrossBooks, Jun 10, 2011 - Religion
Ā The Agapets is a collection of original poems and illustrations by Pam Hellman. The poems in this book came from a desire in the heart of the author to find a way to share her faith with her children on a daily basis.Ā So she took the admonition found in Deuteronomy 6:6–7 and began to write about the things that she saw around her each day. Ā They began as simple designs on paper napkins in her daughter's lunchbox and soon were in demand as color sheets for her daughter and classmates to use at her Christian school. Ā From fresh apples in a bowl to a wire whisk in her kitchen drawer, the ideas began to flow as she filled her daughter's lunchbox each day with a new poem or Scripture and always a happy face. Ā Agapets will provide many hours of precious "together time" for you and your children.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell would support London-based team
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell remains keen to install franchises in London and Los Angeles.
Last Updated: 09/01/14 9:56pm
League owners are also considering expanding the play-off format to maintain competitive fixtures towards the end of the regular season.
Goodell is encouraged by the huge success of the International Series games at Wembley Stadium, and he admitted continued support could earn London its own NFL team.
The New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins in the first regular-season fixture at Wembley in 2007, and the national stadium will host three games in 2014.
Goodell admitted there is a strong case to base a franchise in London, while he also wants to see a team return to Los Angeles for the first time since 1995.
Each game at Wembley as attracted crowds of around 80,000, and Goodell said: "I think it's possible if we continue to have success in London that we would have a franchise there.
"I don't know which of Los Angeles or London will be first and I'm not sure I care. I'd like to see if we can be successful in both ultimately."
The NFL play-offs feature 12 teams under the current format, and Goodell hinted that introducing extra teams into the post-season would help reduce the number of meaningless late-season games.
"That is under serious consideration," he added. "One of the great things about the NFL other than it's unscripted is that every team starts the season with hope."
Goodell was speaking in New York ahead of the first cold-weather Super Bowl on February 2, and he revealed that other cities with cold climates will be given the chance to host the showpiece.
"This is obviously innovative and it's something new but it's also unique because it's New York," said Goodell.
"Every city can't host a Super Bowl just because of the sheer enormity of this event. And it's not just a football game.
"We have a week full of events, we probably have well over 150,000 coming in to the New York region for this event."
Watch the NFL Divisional play-offs this weekend only on Sky. Live coverage starts at 9pm on Sky Sports 3 as New Orleans face Seattle, followed by Indianapolis against New England

From Lorde to Lena Dunham, to the U.S. women's soccer team, to Julia Roberts and Joan Baez — Taylor Swift seems to be on a ruthless mission to bring every famous woman onstage with her during her "1989" tour.
After attending Swift's concert in Santa Clara, Calif., where Roberts and Baez both made an appearance, writer Lara Marie Schoenhals decided to make her own predictions about who would appear at TSwift's next concert.
In a hilarious video titled "Please Welcome to the Stage," Schoenhals pretends she is Swift introducing her next impressive surprise guests.
According to Schoenhals, future guests could be the hologram of Maya Angelou, Gigi Hadid and the Blair Witch, not to mention the first woman ever, EVE! — among others.
We can't wait to see if Swift introduces Eve at her next concert.

Ask Slashdot: What Would a Constructed Language Have To Be To Replace English? 626
Loren Chorley writes: The idea of constructing a language capable of replacing English has fascinated me for a long time. I'd like to start a project with some of my own ideas and anyone who's interested, but I'd really like to hear what the Slashdot community thinks on the topic first. Taking for granted that actually replacing English is highly unlikely, what characteristics would the new language need? More specifically: How could the language be made as easy as possible to learn coming from any linguistic background? How could interest in the language be fostered in as many people as possible? What sort of grammar would you choose and why? How would you build words and how would you select meanings for them, and why? What sounds and letters (and script(s)) would you choose? How important is simplicity and brevity? How important are aesthetics (and what makes a language aesthetic)? What other factors could be important to consider, and what other things would you like to see in such a language?

By Tim Redmond
I really, really wish I didn't have to write about this. But here we go.
I've spent far too much of the past few days researching a 2006 bill by Mark Leno that has led a local blogger to dub him a "Kiddie Porn King." I now understand exactly where this came from, and I've talked to all sides, and I can fairly conclude that it's a stupid, vicious, shitty little allegation that doesn't belong in San Francisco politics.
The guy responsible for this is Michael Colbruno, a former aide to Migden who now works for Clear Channel Oudoor. I finaly got a comment from Migden's campaign today; spokesman Paul Hefner told me Migden "does not approve of this" and "wants her supporters to run a positive campaign." Which is nice, but I think she should go a step further: If the senator called Mr. Colbruno and told him to take that shit down, now, I suspect he'd comply.
Anyway, let me lay out the background here, since it's a case study in how political smears are created.
About a year ago, Republicans in the state Legislature started work on a bill that was aimed at cracking down on child molesters. It wound up on the ballot as Proposition 83, a draconian law that, among other things, would have barred any registered sex offender from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park and require them all to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet for life. The sensible people in law enforcement, like San Francisco Sheriff Mike Hennessey, said this was terrible public policy -- it would cost millions to enforce, have little positive impact and drive all the registered sex offenders into rural counties.
Leno and Migden both opposed it.
But in the meantime, while the bill was being debated, Leno, chair of the Public Safety Committee, tried to offer a less heinous alternative. His measure was called AB 50, and while it tightened laws on sex crimes, it didn't include the bracelets or the 2,000-foot residency requirement.
It also said nothing about child pornography.
During discussions on the bill, Leno tells me, Assembly member Todd Spitzer, an Orange County Republican, approached Leno with an offer. "He told me that if I would accept several amendments, he'd support my bill," Leno says.
One Spitzer amendment would have tightened the laws on child pornography. At the time, possession of kiddie porn was a misdemeanor on the first offense; Spitzer's proposal would have made it a felony if the offender possessed more than 100 pieces.
Sure, said Leno. No problem.
Remember: Leno's bill with Spitzer's amendment would have tightened the kiddie-porn laws.
I talked to Spitzer today, and he confirmed this story. The child-porn stuff was his, he said, and he and Leno agreed on 100 pieces as a "starting point." Leno has always argued that it's possible for a perfectly decent person who's surfing for legal, adult web porn can wind up on a site with underage models by mistake, so he suggested that the felony threshold be greater than one picture. (The feds set it at 75).
Some other Assembly Democrats thought 100 was too high, so Leno changed it to 25.
In retrospect, the entire thing was probably a mistake: Leno should have guessed that this would set the right-wing media ablaze and be used against him. He figured that since a conservative Republican had brought him the proposal, he was safe. No go.
The Fox-news types like Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly started calling Leno a shill for the kiddie-porn peddlers, saying that he though "99 pieces of child ponography were okay." That's where the "kiddie porn king" stuff came from.
In the end, on the floor of the Assembly, the bill was amended to make posession of even one piece of child porn a felony. Leno supported that amendment and voted for the bill.
Lord knows, I'm not a fan of the child pornography industry. I've got two kids of my own, and I'm all for shutting those creeps down. I understand Leno's argument about Internet smut; as a policy matter, I think one piece is probably not enough to charge a felony, and 100 is too high (you don't download 100 pieces of smut by mistake). But that's a policy disagreement, the sort of thing that's supposed to be hammered out in committee discussions -- and in this case, it was.
In fact, Spitzer, who was (later) a harsh critic of the 100-pieces threshold, told me that "it's unfair to characterize either of us as supporting 100 pieces. That was a starting place."
Of Leno, he said: "He and I were vigorously involved in this whole debate, and I have never known him to be supportive of child ponography." He said -- remember, this is a conservative Republican -- that the attack on Leno was completely unfounded and unfair.
So I called Colbruno. He got back to me right away. I told him what Spitzer had said and asked if he thought, given the true history here, that it was fair to call Leno a "Kiddie Porn King." He hemmed and hawed. The story of AB 50, he told me, "makes Leno appear to have extremely bad judgment. His name was on the bill."
Sure, I can accept the bad judgement argument, but that's not what Colbruno wrote. I asked again: Do you think your characterization of Leno was accurate and fair?
Well, Colbruno said, it was "just a headline .. and headlines are supposed to bring readers into the story."
Does that mean it was fair?
Hem. Haw. Finally: "I think it was a fair headline for this item."
No, Michael, it wasn't, and I think you know that, too. Leno may have made a mistake. He may have been duped by the GOP, or he may have wandered into a hornet's nest that he should have avoided. He may have been wrong to accept a measure under his name that wasn't as tough on child porn as it should have been. But again, though, remember: Before all of this started, the pedophiles could have all the smut they wanted and face only a misdemeanor. Leno's bill was an improvement. And besides, are we all supposed to be so terrified of right-wing backlash that we can't even discuss tricky criminal-justice issues on a rational level?
And none of this justifies a smear like "Kiddie Porn King."
In fact, that's a particularly harsh thing to say about a gay man in politics. Colbruno should know better.
The Alice B. Toklas club is meeting tonight to vote on a resolution condemning the statements and asking Migden to denounce Colbruno's post. I hope it passes, and I hope she does, and I hope this all goes the hell away so we can all start talking about real issues.
But the bottom line here is that this sets a terrible tone for the campaign, and what Migden should do is publicly tell Colbruno to knock it off -- and tell us all that she won't be attacking Leno over this kiddie-porn shit during the campaign.
And yes, to all you Migden supporters out there: If you can produce any examples of Leno or his allies doing nasty anti-Migden smears, I will give them the same treatement. I haven't taken sides yet in this race -- but I am going to try my goddamnest to keep this from becoming a political bloodbath that will will all regret some day.

Global Hoops: Oh, Canada ... France, Brazil
Nathan Dinsdale
Talk about it in The Main Board
The Nike Global Challenge in Hillsboro, Ore., is the last major all-star tournament of the 2010 summer basketball circuit and features some of the nation's top high school recruits along with several elite international players. RivalsHigh will have daily reports from the event.
HILLSBORO, Ore. - The word is chambrer. In literal French, it means either "to mock" or "to bring wine to room temperature." It's also slang for trash-talk.
Some members of the USA West team decided to parlez vous a little chambrer early in their matchup with Team INSEP (France) in the first round of the Nike Global Challenge. Bad idea. La Francais came to play, heating up well beyond room temperature in the second half and holding on to beat USA West black-and-cordon-bleu, 112-108.
"We have, I think, more intensity," said French guard Benjamin John after scorching USA West for 25 points. "That makes the difference."
Indeed. It did all day.
If the players on the four USA teams figured they were the top four teams in this eight-team international tourney, they clearly were suffering from a little American elitism.
Things started off routinely enough for the host country after USA Midwest put a 41-point hurting on the All-Asia Camp team.
Then the wheels came off for USA West against France in the first upset of the day, but not the last. Canada outlasted USA East in a double-overtime thriller and Brazil came agonizingly close to sending a third straight US team to the consolation bracket before falling to USA South in overtime.
Canada's win was arguably the most impressive, coming as it did against a USA East team featuring five-star recruits James McAdoo of Norfolk (Va.) Norfolk Christian, Rakeem Christmas of Bryn Athyn (Pa.) Academy of the New Church and Michael Gbinjie of Richmond (Va.) Benedictine. But star power alone doesn't hit clutch shots - and neither did USA East in the game's waning moments.
"The US always has something to lose," said Canadian forward Khem Birch of Fitchburg (Mass.) Notre Dame after putting up a 25-point, 20-rebound performance. "We're Canada, we have nothing to lose."
Not that Birch (Rivals No. 9 for 2012) - or his teammates - had any intention of doing anything other than serving USA East humble pie coated in maple syrup.
"People always put high expectations on the US and we thought we could use that against them," said Canadian forward Kyle Wiltjer of Portland (Ore.) Jesuit High after putting up a game-high 31 points. "We went into the game with the mindset that we'd play our hearts out and have each other's backs no matter what happened. We knew they were good, but we also knew we could win."

Bullying Prevention
"A person is bullied when he or she is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other persons, and he or she has difficulty defending himself or herself."
–Dan Olweus, Bullying at School: What We Know and What We Can Do
Bullying consists of three components: aggressive behavior that involves unwanted, negative actions, a pattern of behavior which is repeated over time, and an imbalance of power or strength.
Bullying Prevention and Intervention Tips
- If bullied, tell your parents. Telling is not tattling.
- Tell a trusted teacher, counselor, principal, or have your parents talk to the school.
- Do not retaliate or get angry.
- Respond evenly and firmly or say nothing and walk away. If it's happening online, don't reply but print out a copy of the posting or email.
- Develop friendships and stick up for each other.
- Act confident.
- If the harassment is happening on the way to or from school, take a different route.
- Avoid unsupervised areas of school.
- Do not bring expensive items to school.
- Encourage your child to share problems with you with the assurance that it is not tattling.
- Praise and encourage your child - a confident child is less likely to be bullied.
- Help your child develop new friendships - new peers can provide a new chance.
- Maintain contact with your child's school. Keep a detailed record of bullying episodes and communication with the school.
- Encourage your child to participate in sports or physical activity to improve esteem.
- Establish a bullying prevention committee.
- Create a long-term anti-bullying plan and raise school and community awareness and involvement.
- Use anonymous student surveys to assess bullying-related behaviors.
- Include parents in planning, discussions and action plans.
- Establish classroom rules against bullying.
- Create positive and negative consequences regarding bullying.
- Initiate serious talks with bullies and victims of bullying individually.
Colorado Legislation on Bullying
House Bill 11-1254, Measures to Reduce the Frequency of Bullying in Schools
Creates a legislative committee to study the issues related to bullying in public schools and submit a report of findings and recommendations to the education committees of the Colorado Senate and House of Representatives.
Establishes the bullying prevention and education grant program within the Colorado Department of Education.
Establishes the following requirements:
- Schools will maintain a record of each confirmed incident of bullying that occurs at school.
- Local boards of education will establish dress code policies that encourage school pride and unity and promote uniformity of dress.
- Each principal of a public school, including district charters or institute charters, will report annually on incidents of bullying.
- Members of boards of education, teachers, and administrators are prohibited from taking any retaliatory action against a student who reports in good faith an incident of bullying.
- Each teacher will receive professional development training concerning how to prevent and address bullying at least every two years.
- Except as prohibited by state or federal law, school districts, public schools, district charter schools, institute charter schools, BOCES and threat assessment teams of the aforementioned may share information with one another for the purpose of assessing the risk of bullying a particular student may pose.
- Each school will annually survey each student enrolled in the school concerning the student's impressions of the severity of bullying in the school. Each principal will report annually a summary of information concerning the surveys.
Colorado Dept. of Education summary of Senate Bill 01-080, Safe Schools - Bullying Policy
Requires each school district to seek broad input when adopting and implementing a safe school plan or making revisions to plans or policies concerning safety. It recommends consulting with the school district accountability committee and school advisory councils (or school accountability committee), parents, teachers, administrators, students, student councils where available, and the surrounding community if appropriate.
Requires each school district to include a specific policy in the school district conduct and discipline code concerning bullying prevention and education.
Defines bullying to mean any written or verbal expression, or physical act or gesture, or a pattern thereof, that is intended to cause distress upon one or more students in the school, on school grounds, in school vehicles, at a designated school bus stop, or at school activities or sanctioned events.
Requires each school to submit, in the annual report to the state board of education, information concerning the school's learning environment during that school year. The annual report will also describe all policy on bullying prevention and education, including information related to the development and implementation of any bullying prevention programs.

Critics' Pick
(No longer in theaters)
Kelly Reichardt's ominous and uncluttered film is anchored by the heartbreaking performance of a lanky, sad-eyed Michelle Williams, who plays a broke young woman on her way to Alaska to start a new life. Though it goes without saying that the story of a cash-strapped life resonates right now, the film's sense of dread is so subtle that it won't hit you until after you've left the theater.

Plans for Emily and Eric Dvorovy's movie date quickly changed after making a pit stop at Target, where they found a BB-riddled kitten in the parking lot.
Emily Dvorovy, 28, said she and her husband, 30, both of Austintown, left the house Friday evening intending to see a movie but stopped at the Target in Boardman first. As they were pulling into a parking spot they spotted a white kitten scurrying under cars.
"When we got out of the car I could hear her crying, and it was so sad," she said. "We grabbed her as she was going between cars ... You could tell she was beat up a little bit."
Dvorovy said the white kitten, which is about eight weeks old, has several visible round wounds, some still open.
"Her fur was matted, and she had this one wound on her face that was just dripping blood," she said. "We had to take her home with us; we couldn't leave her."
Dvorovy said they weren't able to get the kitten to a veterinarian until Monday, so they cleaned her wounds with warm water and set her up in the garage, away from their other pets.
The couple took the kitten to Austintown Veterinary Clinic, where technician Elisha Rock said the BBs were discovered.
"When I was holding her I felt something under her armpit, so we took an X-ray," she said. "We found 16 BBs and a pellet inside her."
The BBs were spread out along the length of the kitten's body, with several on her back and belly area. Rock said one BB entered at the kitten's neck and floated down toward her throat, making breathing difficult.
"We've seen BBs on X-rays before, but nothing this severe," she said. "It's just cruel."
Linda Plant, the clinic's office manager, said other than the wounds, the kitten seemed to be in good health. She weighed about two-and-a-half-pounds, which Plant said is about average for a cat of her age.
"She's going to be OK," she said. "When it comes time to spay her, the doctor will remove most of the BBs that are superficial."
Dvorovy said she's disgusted that someone could intentially harm an aminal in this way.
"When they called me back and showed me the X-rays I burst into tears," she said.
Dvorovy said she and her husband are trying to decide whether they will keep the kitten, now named Lily. She said her aunt is interested, so it's likely Lily will stay in the family.
Until then, the kitten is making friends inside the house with the couple's other pets — two cats and a dog.
"I can't believe she's lived through this without any real health issues," Dvorovy said. "She's very resilient ... she sleeps a lot, but she's so loving."
Just a matter of time before there is a human victim . . . ..
As the proud caretaker of several cats, this is just heartbreaking. I say we fill the shooter full of BBs and see how he likes it.
We live in very violent times...
Just further proof of the monsters that live among us. Kittens shot with BB's, dogs burned and scalded and malnourished, children molested by their parents while on supervised visitation, teenagers and grown men shooting and killing each other. No regard for life. Shaking my head........sickening...........
There is a lowlife, or a group, in Boardman. We have seen their signs in Boardman Park, by the pavilion that is in the center of the walking path; as well as other places.
These kids are cold to the suffering of others.
THey waited until Monday? Our vets open on Saturday and SUnday. SO is the emergency clinic.
Glad the saved the kitten but I would have not made it suffer that longer.
Put your money where your Mouth is,
Enjoytheride !!!!!
Oh great another grammar Nazi,
du u ting I culd bee guut ate Scabblee.
I do white sabbath
I am a responisble pet owner. All my pets are fully vaccinated, on routine heartworm or flea care from my veterinarian. All my pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and licensed.
When my pet gets sick, we make the appoinment and take my pet to the vet ASAP. When my dog was sick late one night, we took her to the emergency clinic on salt spring road, where she received excellent care.
I accept the lifelong responsibility for my pets. I accept that it costs money to take care of them and gladly spend it to give them the best care, the best food and care I can. I love my pets!
I am not like the low lifes who shot the kitten and dumped her.
They should shoot them damn pit bulls!
NO RESPECT FOR LIFE~~~~ Also the Law should get stricter when it comes to people and animals~~~
Where are the parents of the little thugs? My kids would have NEVER thought of hurting an animal! Take the little S.O.B.'s and riddle THEM with BB's!!
I forgot to mention that the nasty individuals who did this not only have no respect for life, they also lack empathy for others. Who could do such a thing to a poor, innocent, little creature? And they probably got their jollies, too. It's disgusting!
Serial killer in the making somewhere in Boardman. It's kittens today but that won't satisfy them for long.
Actually enjoytheride, what I think they are suggesting is that maybe you should donate to the couple who found the kitten and out of the kindness of their heart (and their own wallets) took the kitten in and took it to the vet. It is easy to sit behind your computer and say why didn't you do this, but that was not their kitten, and emergency vetting costs a fortune. Some people will find fault no matter what you do, such a shame...
To Atown:
You took the words right out of my mouth. Those saints that decided the kitten was more important than a movie are what this world needs more of today. Compassionate people willing to help an animal off the street because they have a heart. Kudos to the Dvorovy family. And to enjoytheride, with your kind of attitude, I'd change my user name, because it sounds like you are the only perfect animal caregiver in this town and any ride with you would be too long. When is the last time you saved an animal from abuse?
Maybe the kitten had just accidently wandered through the neighborhood around St. Dominic's Church!
I disagree with the take that the loser who did this is going to turn to a human next. I understand the statistics that show serial killers graduate from torturing animals to humans, but I have a different thought.
The overwhelming majority of people who stoop this low will never move on to humans because a human can fight back. For most of the scumbags who do this, it is about torturing a victim who can't speak out, about controlling a victim who cannot defend themselves.
I certainly do not agree with someone doing such a cowardly act, I really doubt the police will ever find who did this unless they catch the person in the act. My wife and I own 4 cats and f I ever came upon someone doing something like this I would certainly enact my own justice. I do hope they do find guy (lets face it, 99% of the people who torture animals are white males, except Michael Vick that is) doing this again real soon. Paybacks are a b#t*h!
it was great these people saved that kitten. JEFFERY DALMER enjoyed abusing animals - HE TRUNED OUT TO BE A GREAT PERSON ! I wonder what creature with no parents did this.
hey shut your face- My Michael Vick jab was a tounge in cheek. But in all honesty, look at the statistics, the majority of people who torture animals are white males. (I too am a white male)
I am simply saying that while almost all serial killers at one time tortured animals, not all who tortured animals become serial killers.
And as I said, people who torture animals do so because they are weak, low life scum bags. I would never defend anyone who shoots a kitten 16 times with a BB gun. I hope the guy who did it gets his, and I hope he gets it sooner rather than later.

Techie eyes are turned towards the President and Lady Gaga this weekend as the two most popular Facebookers in the country near a record 10 million Facebook fans.
RELATED: See more pics of Gaga
On Friday morning, Barack Obama was leading Gaga by about 30,000 fans, according to CNN. But in just a few hours, Gaga's fan count hit 9,162,832, pulling her ahead of Obama, whose fan count had only hit 9,122,063.
RELATED: Paris Hilton is a secret genius & more funny Facebook groups
Both are on track to surpass the 10 million mark this weekend, a record for any living person. But they have a ways to go before they topple the social networking site's biggest fan draw, Michael Jackson, who had clocked in 13,285,811 fans as of Friday, the one year anniversary of his death.
RELATED: MJ and more celebs gone viral
Facebook, which has more than 400 million users, nears its user milestone a year after Ashton Kutcher challenged CNN to see who could pick up one million followers first. The terms of the bet involved a charity donation of mosquito bed nets for World Malaria Day. In April of 2009, the actor won the challenge, reaching the followers goal just 30 minutes before CNN caught up.
Who do you think will hit 10 milion fans first? Tell us in the comments, then check out the full story on CNN.com.

James Brown - NOT AVAILABLE

|Also Known As:
|December 25, 2006
|May 3, 1933
|Cause of Death:
|congestive heart failure
|Birth Place:
|Barnwell, South Carolina, USA
|Music ...
A towering figure in the history of 20th century popular music, James Brown was the key architect in the development of soul and funk, which were personified by such propulsive hits as "I Feel Good," "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," "It's a Man's Man's Man's World," "Cold Sweat," "Super Bad" and other iconic songs. Brown's music also wielded considerable influence over a vast array of other music forms, most notably rap and hip-hop, which built its foundation upon Brown's jazz-driven drum pattern. His vocal support for civil rights and black empowerment in the 1960s and early 1970s also elevated him from performer to spokesman for a generation of young African-Americans. Tax problems, substance abuse issues and the rise of more commercial forms of R&B toppled Brown's empire in the mid-1970s, and he would spend much of the next two decades in alternating states of comeback and disgrace before his death in 2006. However, changing tastes and legal problems could never erase the incredible legacy of his body of work, which at the height of his powers, was among the most exhilarating music ever recorded, and preserved Brown's status as, among other titles, "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business" and "Soul Brother No. 1."

"In the United States, the Congress is prohibited from passing ex post facto laws by clause 3 of Article I, Section 9 of the United States Constitution. The states are prohibited from passing ex post facto laws by clause 1 of Article I, Section 10. This is one of the relatively few restrictions that the United States Constitution made to both the power of the federal and state governments before the Fourteenth Amendment."

I'm starting to despise NY. They will never get a dime of my discretionary income used for vacationing. Regardless the bill still has to pass through the house before it gets to the governors desk.
Well, the senate was made up mostly of Republicans, and the house is a Dumbocrat majority so... looks like it will probably pass.

I hate New York. Feel sorry for anyone that has to put up with this nonsense and I hope this gets challenged and overturned.

My was recently offered a very high paying job in NY. We decided to pass. High taxes, nanny state and now this. The $$$ would have been nice, but living in a gilded cage is not for us.

There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.

How stupid is this?! So all the mags over 7 rounds how is NY going to know who has them or not? I mean granted if you shoot someone and you have a 10 round mag you would have to swap it out for your 7 round mag (if at home when this incident occurred) but if it happened outside the home better to just carry a couple 7 rounders.

Claire Danes has been popping up all over the place this summer. I am a big fan, so I'm happy to see her making a comeback. She showed up at TRL on Tuesday (pictured right) and right before that we saw her at the LA premiere of Stardust. I think we can agree that her hair is looking healthy and beautiful with her bright blonde highlights, but do you like her hair better styled straight or with a little bit of body?

Innovators creating the next key piece of the web, or businesses trying to better integrate ICT systems into their frameworks, shouldn't have to convince a regulator that a discriminatory system is damaging their business. Just as we expect these groups to be innovative in the marketplace, so businesses should expect that our regulators will ensure that all players are competing in an open market. It is possible to build on existing regulatory frameworks to level the playing field — thereby enabling innovators to innovate and businesses to invest in R&D and ICT without fearing the imposition of data discrimination.
Forthcoming policy decisions must guarantee the neutrality of the Internet as a platform for innovation, as well as enable leading users and innovators to create and compete in an open market free from throttling and/or usage fees. Neither of these punitive measures will help Canadians succeed in the globalized digital economy, nor will they encourage the local adoption of novel ICT systems. No developer or content provider should enjoy preferential treatment. The vertically integrated, Internet-delivered services of ISPs should abide by the same rules as their non-vertically integrated competitors that are also using Internet technologies to communicate and engage with prospective customers. ISPs should adopt application-agnostic approaches and only apply throttling to those specific users who were disproportionately contributing to that congestion, and only for as long as necessary.
At present, the Canadian system requires ISPs to use network investment as their first response to problems of network congestion and, thereafter, to justify whatever economic and technical Internet management practices they use. The problem with the current situation is that the CRTC does not appear to have adhered to its stated priorities: to make network investment paramount, and to put the onus on ISPs to demonstrate that their methods are necessary and will not harm innovation or business. At the very least, these priorities should be followed in practice, and the onus placed on those ISPs that do discriminate to demonstrate that their solutions are highly targeted to particular points of congestion. Both Bell Canada and Rogers Communications, two of Canada's largest ISPs, acknowledge that they sometimes inadvertently discriminate against non-problematic traffic.350 Because, however, it is up to end-users and businesses to detect problems, contact the appropriate regulatory officials, and subsequently defend their allegations, the result is a drawn-out and bureaucratic process, demanding a high level of legislative and technical knowledge.
While some positive work has begun on making Internet discrimination more public, more must be done.351 Canada must create greater transparency in the Internet service market; ISPs must be forced to explain how and why the infrastructure is designed in a discriminatory fashion and justify discriminatory practices to the public using independently verifiable data, and independent auditors must ensure that ISPs are not exceeding the boundaries authorized by Canadian regulatory bodies. More generally, the government must recognize the ways in which the Internet has democratized innovation, and work hard to keep the costs of entry low, the platform reliable, and the ISPs honest.
Canada has the potential to be a leader in the global digital economy — its citizens are highly educated, enjoy relatively high basic broadband penetration rates, and are avid users of the Internet. If we leverage our existing advantages, the underinvestment in ICT in Canada could be reversed; this in turn could help us enter an era of thriving innovation and robust economic growth.
350. See "Are there other applications that could be impacted by Rogers'/Bell's traffic management measures?" here http://www.rogers.com/web/content/network_management See also http://service.sympatico.ca/index.cfm?method=content.view&content_id=12119
351. Specifically, Telecom Regulatory Policy 2009-657 requires ISPs to make public their uses of technical and economic traffic management practices – practices that are presently used to discriminate against and delay certain kinds of Internet traffic
