After RAP, the longest-running EDC project comprises our largest body of equity work: the Women's Educational Equity Act Resource Center (WEEA). For more than two decades, the WEEA Resource Center has developed, published, and distributed innovative, gender-fair materials to teachers and education leaders around the country. WEEA publications range from classroom materials, program guides, and research reports to anthologies of women's writing. These materials form the core of what is now a national knowledge base for gender equity.
In its early years, the WEEA Resource Center focused on building awareness of gender equity issues, career counseling for displaced homemakers and other women reentering school and the work force, recruitment of women and girls into nontraditional fields, and math and science education for girls. During the 1980s, the center's focus shifted to providing educational and vocational materials to urban and rural women living in poverty, while it continued to work on math and science education and nontraditional careers.
Today WEEA has targeted new challenges, including gender-based violence and school-to-work issues, and it has reached out to new audiences by increasing the number of titles available in Spanish, as well as the number of works by and about Native American women. "Into the next century, we hope to provide leadership on gender equity as an inclusive model," explains Katherine Hanson, WEEA's director. "In other words, we plan to investigate how equity for girls and women supports equity for racial and ethnic groups, as well as for the disabled and others."
WEEA is also employing new tools to reach its diverse audiences, beginning with a website featuring a range of equity resources, contacts, moderated discussions, and online courses. Recent discussions on single-sex classrooms and sexual harassment have generated active and lively debate, and the center is in the process of conducting an online course called "Engaging Middle School Girls in Math and Science." Recent online discussions have focused on single-sex classrooms and sexual harassment.
"We see the website as a good vehicle for expanding the discussion of issues related to equity in education," comments Susan Smith, who moderates the online discussions. "We had 80-100 people join our mailing list during the discussion of single-sex classrooms. Through the discussions, we gather a great deal of information to use in our digests and to enter into our database of equity resources and services available around the country."

text: Have an old Rockwell table saw model 34-466 with a Rockwell 83-621 motor. Was working fine. Then when I turned it on, the blade rotated about 1/2 revolution very slowly and stopped. When I turn the saw off, I can see the switch move to the off position. When I turn it on, I can see the switch move on and hear it click. The motor doesn't run or the blade turn and I am getting a faint humming sound when in the on position. I can turn the blade manually just fine, so it hasn't frozen. Any ideas on what might be the problem? Thanks to all for your help.

If anyone can tell me about Hamilton, or suggest any other places where we could rent in our price range that would be within a 30 minute commute from Sharonville, I'd be forever grateful!
Can anyone tell me about Hamilton?
I would look in other areas first. Hamilton - like any area - has good areas and bad. Fairfield is a bit nicer and the same area.
Honestly NKY to Sharonville might not be that bad - depending on the time he has to be there. We live in Independence/Taylor Mill area. I can make it to Sharonville in about 45 minutes - unless traffic is stopped. We are able to get on the interstate about 1 exit south of Covington - so not much time spent in traffic getting on the bridge. But coming home would be a different story.
You can also take 71 then go accross the Norwood Lateral to hit 75.
but I play one on TV
Hey Everyone, just wanted to say thanks! We did end up renting a place in Hamilton, in the Lindenwald neighborhood, for $795. It's a nice place, the neighborhood seems blue collar to me, haven't spent enough time here yet to get a real feel for it. We'll see how it goes. If I hate it we can always move in a year, though I don't want to think about that right now!
Hamliton is not the best choice in my Op. They have alot of drugs and the like. I have not heard anything good from there. Good luck on your search.

NY St. Pattys Day Parade – more anti-gay than Irish
Timothy Kincaid
September 22nd, 2010
The Ancient Order of Hibernians, who control and operate the St. Patrict's Day Parade in New York City, have long opposed allowing gay Irishmen to participate as such. This is matter of pride as good Irish Catholics.
Of course, real good Irish Catholics don't have so much of a problem with Teh Ghey. The Irish in Ireland seem to be rather fond of gay folk. So much so, that the President of Ireland declined an offer to be Grand Marshall of the parade if they wouldn't let gay folk participate. (Irish Central)
Irish President Mary McAleese has turned down an invitation to be grand marshal of the New York City St. Patrick's Day parade in 2011, the historic 250th anniversary of the event.
The turn down is said to be connected to the issue of gays being refused the right to march in the parade under their own banners, and McAleese's strong relationship with gay and lesbian organizations in Ireland.
Although having President McAleese (a devout Catholic) as Grand Marshall on this important anniversary would have been quite a coup for the AOH, it was far more important that they keep gay Irish people out of the Irish celebration.

Held its wings spread similar to a dragonfly (but is clearly a damselfly).
Creepy fly. (lol)
Large, the size of a paper wasp.
Every once in a while, the camera cooperates beautifully.
Very tiny leafhopper. Looks fascinatingly like a particle of plant debris.

Active. 1 to 1.5 inches long.
This gorgeous argiope built its web in our basement doorway. I think we'll just let it stay, as we don't often use that door anyhow.

John Edwards is still keeping the 26 delegates he's won in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina after suspending his campaign Wednesday.
After he officially exits, 10 of those delegates will be going to the other candidates. Barack Obama will get six and Clinton four. Under party rules, Edwards will maintain a say in naming the other 16 delegates.
Edwards had also collected endorsements from 30 superdelegates, mainly party and elected officials, who automatically attend the convention. They can support whomever they choose. Three
superdelegates had already switched from Edwards to Obama before
Edwards suspended his campaign.
Edwards made his suspension announcement today in New Orleans'
hurricane-devastated 9th ward. That's where he kicked off his campaign more than a year ago.
He's not saying if he'll endorse either of his rivals. He says both have pledged to make ending poverty "central" to their campaigns.

If you're waiting for summer gas prices to drop, you might be waiting awhile longer.
Instead of dropping, as is customary after Labor Day, gas prices have actually risen 5 cents in the past week alone. The national average, $3.86, is currently up 16 cents from a month ago and 24 cents from a year ago.
A number of national and international factors such as tensions in the Middle East and U.S. refinery shutdowns due to Hurricane Issac are behind the increase in prices.
The average price at the pump for Coloradans is $3.69 a gallon, placing Colorado with the 10 cheapest states. Mississippi currently has the lowest gas prices in the country.

Cornerback Champ Bailey is back on the football field along with safety Renaldo Hill and Marcus Thomas.
The three veterans were held out of both of Friday's two-hour practices after going on the active-physically unable to perform list Thursday.
Coach Josh McDaniels wouldn't say whether they had new injuries, lingering ailments or had failed their conditioning tests. And the three players all said they weren't allowed to talk about it.
Bailey had elbow surgery in the offseason after missing seven games with a torn groin last season, when his streak of eight consecutive Pro Bowl berths came to an end.

I've touched on this subject before, but I thought maybe a refresher was in order. Keeping a sketchbook around for jotting down ideas, pasting in notes or otherwise affixing your thoughts into a hardbound repository is an excellent habit to get into. It helps you organize your concepts, works out the visual cues and lets…
Logo design and the art of sketching.
The importance of sketching well in the creative field–especially logo design, couldn't be stressed enough. Being able to visualize your concepts and have them translate to your clients and colleagues is a beneficial asset to you and your team–and that's well before you show them your finished work.

Happy (Chinese) New Year! 2015 is the Year of the Sheep (or Goat) and while the actual NY date is February 19, celebrations continue for a couple of weeks. It is the longest holiday in China and the most important day of the year. Celebrations happen all around the world with big celebrations in London and San Francisco as well as communities across Australia – the biggest celebrations are in Sydney's Chinatown and Melbourne's Chinatown where dancing dragons, lanterns and lucky money envelopes abound.
Those born sheep or goats will have their year of birth as 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991 and 2003.
If you go by the traditional zodiacal personality traits, these folk are peaceful, shy, mild-mannered and kind while being resilient and tough on the inside.
The lucky flowers for sheep/goats are carnations and primroses, lucky numbers are two and seven and lucky colours are brown, red and purple. Lucky months are August and November so it looks like the sheep already have their numbers and colours for the Melbourne Cup. If you are a sheep/goat looking for a compatible life partner, best seek out a rabbit, horse or a pig.
If you want to wish any Chinese people Happy New Year in their own language, in Mandarin language it is is 'Xin Nian Kuai Le' and the Cantonese is Gong Hei Fat Choy ...Here is a You Yube link on how to pronounce Xin Nian Kuai Le:

pics from creative math class
We just finished our 2nd class and it has been going quite well. Learning geometry while building with k'nex has been a lot of fun. We have been reading the life of fred and working on math journals. I think our math journals has been a real hit as well. I wanted to post a couple of pics in case anyone is looking for ideas. Yesterday in class the older kids learned about Euclid and some beginning geometry terms. I started geometry life of fred book but mostly just read the story and had them put a couple of ideas in their journal. It is high school level book but has worked extremely well. Next week we are starting origami but I fear they will be saddened to not be using k'nex next week. Have a great weekend!

I am not a big fan of restaurant chains, nor am I a big fan of eating Italian food in restaurants. Pasta I can just as easily prepare at home and when it comes to pizza's, I tend to prefer Dr. Oekter's Ristorante over a restaurant pizza. I know, call me crazy.
It was a crazy situation indeed when I found myself venture into the Italian chain restaurant Vapiano, which you can discover in various different locations in Berlin. There is one restaurant situated right on the Potsdamer Platz, one on Friedrichstraße and the one I went to was am Zoo, close to the Gedächtniskirche. I was together with a friend, and we had just attempted a small shopping spree on Kudamm, after which we simply wanted a drink without having to go too far. Because of that, we stumbled into Vapiano.
However, like many similar evenings: we came for a drink and went out with a complete dinner and dessert. It is one of the curses of restaurants, where you are continuously confronted by the delicious food other people around you are ordering. It does something to your brain and makes you desire food like never before. And it definitely did something to my brain, because I decided to go for a Pasta Carbonara. Again, something that I would never be inclined to order (I'm just not that into pork).
Fancy fussili, farfalle oder penne tonight?
But Vapiano is different. The restaurants are large, offering various comfortable chairs and corners, supplemented by large wooden tables with dozens of basil plants everywhere. When you enter, they give you your personal magnetic card which you can use at the bar for drinks and desserts or the kitchen for food. The whole 'thing' about Vapiano's is that you can basically pick and choose exactly what you want and how you like it. You can pick the herbs, the cheese, the vegetables and even the kind of pasta that you want in your meal. It is real do-it-yourself food. The pizza's on offer you can therefore make into your own perfect pizza dream. Or go all healthy or extra meaty on your pasta or salad. And the best thing about it: it is very afforable. A nice pasta you can get for around five euros or a great and fresh salad starts at zeven euros. Therefore many of Vapiano's customers are business people or working men that pop into the restaurant after a long, hard day of work. Even considering the fact that I am not a big fan of Italian food, this really is a great place if you're into that kind of food. If you are prepared to enter a global chain restaurant.
What makes this restaurant fabulous:
- You can personalise the food to fit your every whim. All ingredients are fresh.
- The deco of fresh herbs (basil, rosemary and more) on all tables is very cool.
- The prices are very decent. You can eat a nice meal here for five euros (excl. drinks and desserts).
What makes this restaurant less fabulous:
- Big, global chain restaurant. I prefer supporting the small independent restaurants a lot more.
- It can be stuffed with customers, together with standing in line for your food, giving it a bit of a posh-Italian-McDonalds feel.
Where to go?

Jake Roberts on Dusty Rhodes
A post on Twitter where Jake Roberts talks about the death of Dusty Rhodes and how no amount of words can ever be enough to explain how legendary of a person that the American Dream was. That is high praise since it is coming from someone that is known as one of the best talkers in the history of wrestling.

Dusty Rhodes return
While many people are under the impression that Dusty Rhodes is done with his latest televised stint with WWE, that may not necessarily be the case. There are talks that he could be brought back at Wrestlemania when the two brothers engage in their rematch. There are also talks going around of having Rhodes doing something with Sting, as the two real life friends share a very long and storied history together in the NWA and WCW.

Trash at Gandy Beach leads to strict enforcement
Bonfires and beer are just two of the things that draw people to Gandy Beach.
Now the state says those are big no-nos.
Officials are trying to crack down on certain activities that occur in an area some call "Beer Can Beach."
"This beach is packed, people grilling out, which is the great thing about this beach," said Michele Massaro, a frequent visitor.
Massaro and John Winters bring their dog here during the week. They don't support a full crackdown but admit finding trash at their favorite spot is frustrating and at times painful.
"People bring bottles," said Massaro. "Two weeks ago I cut my foot on a piece of glass."
Florida Department of Transportation officials say it's not just a few pieces of litter here and there that's a problem. It's the almost one ton of garbage hauled off the sand every week.
New signs now line the sand, outlining the already existing rules, with hopes of taking the beer out of beer can beach.
People who live out here say one trash can every few hundred feet just isn't enough for the crowds that come out every weekend.
"I think they need bigger trash cans with lids on them because when they overflow and you get a windy day like this, you got trash all over the beach," said local Frank LaRocca.
FDOT also pulled dozens of tires from the water as well as two sunken boats.
A new dusk-til-dawn curfew also looks to curb late night mischief.
As for Michele and John, they just don't want to lose the freedoms they've come to enjoy.
"One bad apple will ruin a whole bag of apples, and that's what's happening here," said Massaro.

Author: Treanor, Tim
Date published: April 1, 2012
Language: English
Journal code: SOND
A sound; a song; a rhyme; Sondheim. The best Stephen Sondheim musicals are like that, bubbling up like a force of nature from some invisible universe, appearing as a snatch of found music and found poetry and turning irresistibly into a found musical, as though it had always existed in nature and only Sondheim could see it and make it sensible to the rest of us.
Saturday Night, staged briefly on Oct. 29-30, 2011, by Signature Theatre of Arlington, Va., is not one of those musicals. It is, instead, based on a minor play called Front Porch in Flatbush by the Epstein twins (who wrote the screenplays for Arsenic and Old Lace and Casablanca) and turned into a musical by a very young Sondheim. You might know the story behind the story: When Frank Loesser was unavailable for the project, producer Lemuel Ayers turned to Sondheim, a Hammerstein protégé who was at the time writing scripts for the Topper television series. The show was almost ready for production when Ayers died in 1955. It did not show up onstage until 42 years later.
Julius J. Epstein's windy book, about a young man with con-artist tendencies and poor impulse control, is not intrinsically interesting. But Sondheim, improbably, made it interesting, laying down a stylistically eclectic score and giving the lyrics a cynical list that adds spice to Epstein's familiar concept. Signature's Associate Artistic Director Matthew Gardiner, who adapted and directed this on-book production, cannily slenderized the dialogue so that it told the story and no more, and Musical Director Jon Kalbfleisch streamlined the orchestra into a three-man band, with himself conducting and playing a smokin' piano. "Less is more," is one of the three principles Sondheim identifies in Finishing the Hat as necessary for a lyric writer. Signature got the point and applied it to the production. The result was a two-hour show that moved and amused.
The story is this: It is 1929, and Gene (Geoff Packard) , a working-class Brooklynite who aspires mightily to the leisure class, is doing a little fantasy house-shopping with his similarly inclined girlfriend Helen (Susan Derry). Seized by a sudden impulse, he agrees to rent a swank Sutton Place apartment, using for the deposit a wad of cash his friends gave him to invest on a hot stock. Now desperate for funds for the investment, he borrows, using his unsuspecting cousin's car as collateral. He buys the stock, which tanks immediately, and he spends most of the rest of the show dodging creditors, his cousin and the cops.
In short, it is the standard stuff of farce. But Sondheim, notwithstanding his tyro status, did some nervy things with it. For one thing, there was no chorus, virtually unheard of in 1955. There was, of course, choral singing, but it was done by real characters, each with their own story. Sondheim particularized those characters in his music. For example, we know all we needed to know about Gene's yearnings, and how far short he is of them, in "Class": "Ten buck tips/Havana cigars/Cross-country trips/In high-powered cars/'Captain, bring me a brandy/And a large demitasse!'/Week nights I'm a Brooklyn boy,/But on Saturday night/I've got class!"
Packard handled "Class" superbly, and in many other ways showed himself to be a first-rate Sondheim interpreter. The Gene he played was no con but a kid with poor judgment, in over his head. On the lam from his many pursuers, Gene was sick with fear and slick with bravado. Packard, whose signature role is the title character in Mary Zimmerman's Candide (Helen Hayes Award in Washington; Joseph Jefferson winner in Chicago), showed that he could usefully be considered for male lead roles in a number of Sondheim musicals.
But Signature's strong cast gave specificity and gravity to all of the characterizations, as a Sondheim piece requires. Of particular note was William Beech as the cynically misogynistic Bobby, whose perpetual sneer seemed a part of his anatomy. It was striking to watch the baby-faced Bobby warn Gene against the horrors of marriage and even more striking to realize that Beech is only 17 years old and filling out college applications when not engaged on the stage. Think of it: a musical composed by a young man at the outset of his career, performed 56 years later by a young man at the outset of his career - an arc that could last a century or longer.

Rick Evans had rounded up a group of eight bicyclists on Platte Street. They sipped ice-cold beer or water from Mason jars as they waited for Evans, co-owner of the month-old bike shop The Bespoke Pedaler, to lead them on a one-hour tour of downtown Denver bike paths.
Despite the athletic activity that awaited them and the 90-degree temperature, several of the cyclists wore business-casual attire. Evans rocked a green polo and slim-fit gray canvas shorts. Emily Hogle, the store's other owner, wore a sleeveless blue dress that seemed better suited for a dinner date than a bike ride, while another rider wore a pink skirt and a black blouse.
Evans led the tour to introduce people to urban trails, show them how to get around in downtown Denver (the store also gives out a card with a suggested tour) and raise awareness of cycling culture and how stores such as theirs fit into that realm.
The Bespoke Pedaler sells urban bike apparel — everyday, casual clothing that performs like athletic wear but stays away from the flashy, logo-strewn spandex jerseys often worn by cyclists.
The shop is part of a small but growing fashion niche that caters to people who commute by bicycle and integrate biking into their daily lives.
These clothes have details to make them better for riding, "but they're also designed so you can hop off your bike, go to work, go to a cafe and live your life," Evans said.
Dresses and skirts are made of moisture-wicking and water-repellent material, and a pencil skirt has a back zipper that unzips to reveal 12 extra inches of fabric for maneuverability. Strips of reflective material are subtly incorporated into the designs.
"I think people are appreciating better-designed clothing, and the same thing has happened in cycling apparel," said customer Aaron Rosenbluth, 33.
Rosenbluth, who once worked as a bike messenger, says Bespoke is spreading the "beauty and aesthetic" of cycling.
The store's opening comes at a time when more people are commuting by bike in Denver. Emily Snyder, bicycle and pedestrian project manager for Denver Public Works, said there has been a 100 percent overall increase in everyday biking commuters from 2008 to 2012, from 1.6 percent of the population to 2.9 percent. Some neighborhoods have more than 10 percent of their population commuting by bike.
Statewide, about 38,000 Coloradans commute every day by bike according to 2012 data. That's up 127 percent since 2000, said Dan Grunig, executive director of Bicycle Colorado, a nonprofit that supports bicycling.
Companies have hired representatives from Bicycle Colorado to give their employees bicycle-commuting classes to promote healthier, more active employees, Grunig said.
For Denver, Snyder attributes the increase in commuters to the new bike lanes that were built under the 2011 Denver Moves plan. They range from "sharrows" (where cars and bikes share a road) to separate, protected bike lanes.
During Evans' bike tour, he led the group through the protected bike lanes on 15th Street. The lanes are flanked by vertical posts to help define the boundaries. Since the lanes were finished a year ago, Snyder said, bike traffic on sidewalks has decreased by more than 60 percent.
"(The lanes) are very attractive to a user group that aren't expert bikers — those people who are interested in making that choice to get on a bike and ride to work or the grocery store," Snyder said.
Denver Public Works plans to build more bike lanes, including a 14th Street protected bike lane, and to bridge the gaps in current bike lanes, Snyder said.
But sometimes, even advanced athletic apparel and formal bike lanes aren't enough to prevent a commuter from arriving to work drenched in sweat. That's where electric bikes can come into the equation.
Although electric bikes vary in frame styles, most look like a bike with a small motor in the back that can be turned off so the rider can bike manually.
You can still get exercise with an electric bike, and they require no special license as a motorcycle does, said Jim Turner, founder and owner of Optibike, a Boulder-based electric bike manufacturer. But if your commute to work has hills or is a longer distance, the user can flip on the motor and cruise effortlessly to work.
"An electric bike is a bike that causes no sweat and you get to work without needing a shower," said Ed Benjamin, chairman of the Light Electric Vehicle Association.
Little by little, electric bikes are becoming more popular in the U.S., Benjamin said. An estimated 173,886 electric bikes were sold in 2013, according to research done by eCycleElectric and Electric Bicycles World Wide Reports , he said.
Sometimes city regulations hamper the growth of electric bikes, said Turner.
But Denver's regulations aren't too strict.
Electric bikes are allowed on the bike lanes in the street, but they must not exceed 20 mph or have an engine larger than 750 watts, said Heather Burke, spokesperson for Denver Public Works.
However, electric bikes cannot be used on trails in Denver parks, said Angela Casias, public information officer for Denver Parks and Recreation.

Hello all,
I have a small tree/shrub growing in a tub in my garden that i cannot for the life of me seem to identify. It may be something quite boring (which is probably why i can't find it anywhere) but i like to find out what things are so i can see if its in the best place or to just read up on what it is. I have taken this picture of a leaf, hope this helps.
Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this.
...possibly a Cotoneaster... maybe Cotoneaster franchetii...
Thanks for the reply salino, the tree has never flowered or fruited. Could it still be a cotoneaster? It is a couple of years old I think.
...it looks a very young plant in the photo, I would be surprised if it flowered just yet....so we shouldn't worry about that... the flowers in any case are usually quite small and inconspicuous, with later berries...
There are many Cotoneasters, I've just named a popular hedging variety that it resembles....it's very hard to be precise at this stage and I make no claims at being an expert... but I'd be surprised if it wasn't of that species...
Thankyou very much. I haven't found anything else that matches it as closely as a cotoneaster. I think that is case closed.
Or possibly a Viburnum

On Saturday, November 24th, my boyfriend and I had sex. The condom broke, and I mean COMPLETELY SPLIT IN HALF, but he did not ejaculate. He said that there was some pre-ejaculation, but it doesn't concern me deeply. My period last began November 14th. I took a couple ovulation tests online, and they all said that my most fertile dates were from November 25th - December 3rd.
Today is December 2nd, and I have had a couple things that are bugging me. I have been having some light cramps, but some pressure to go along with it, on and off. Another thing, is my nipples are dry, and really sore.
I would really like it if someone could please tell me; is it possible I am pregnant??????? Comment ASAP!!!

When you're staying over at Grandma's house, you need to make sure the baby has somewhere to sleep. Enter the Zephyr, super new travel crib from the fine folks at Valco Baby.
Why we liked the Zephyr ($189):
- It literally took less than a minute to set up.
- The bottom of the mattress attaches to the fabric bottom of the crib (so it's safer).
- It comes with its own travel bag
- I loved that you could actually see through the mesh sides to check on your baby — without being right next to them.
- Great outside storage pockets on the exterior, where you can stash an extra sheet, toys…
- Comes with an insect net that can go right on top of the Zephyr
What to Watch For:
You have to buy your own sheet, and you may want to try to make it a waterproof one. The Mattress cover is cotton and there's foam inside and a piece of cardboard. Plus I wish the price was a little lower (even though it's priced less than other travel cribs).
Thumbs Up or Thumbs down?
Thumbs up! While there are a few travel cribs on the market, this one is priced lower and it's smaller to take with you (in its travel bag). It was also brighter (because of the lighter mesh sides) for baby to play in — as well as sleep in. Plus, my 19 month old son had plenty of room and could walk around in it. It's smaller than a playard, but a great choice for taking on the road!
How Much and Where to Buy:
The Zephyr retails for around $189 and you can purchase it right from Valco Baby's website.

Smoking Cessation Health Center
The Effects of Secondhand Smoke
In this article
Being around tobacco smoke is bad for you, even if it's someone else's smoke.
When someone smokes a cigarette, most of the smoke doesn't go into their lungs. It goes into the air, where anyone nearby can breathe it.
Recommended Related to Smoking Cessation
The First 30 Days: Quit Smoking!
By Nicole Yorio5 ways to get started.
Read the The First 30 Days: Quit Smoking! article > >
Smoking is banned in many public places. But many people are still exposed to secondhand smoke, especially children who live with parents who smoke. Even people who try to be careful about where they light up may not protect those around them.
What Is Secondhand Smoke?
It can come from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe. Tobacco smoke has more than 4,000 chemical compounds, at least 250 are known to cause disease.
Secondhand smoke makes you more likely to get lung cancer and many other types of cancer. It's also bad for your heart.
Every year in the U.S., secondhand smoke causes about 34,000 deaths from heart disease and 7,300 deaths from lung cancer, the CDC says.
Smoke makes your blood stickier, raises your "bad" LDL cholesterol, and damages the lining of your blood vessels. Eventually, these changes can make you more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.
Dangers for Children
Kids are particularly at risk for the effects of secondhand smoke because their bodies are still growing and they breathe at a faster rate than adults.
These conditions have been linked to secondhand smoke exposure in children:
- Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
- More respiratory infections (such as bronchitis and pneumonia)
- More severe and frequent asthma attacks
- Ear infections
- Chronic cough
Smoking during pregnancy is especially dangerous to the developing baby. It's tied to premature delivery, low birth weight, SIDS, limited mental ability, trouble with learning, and ADHD. The more cigarettes a mother-to-be smokes, the greater the danger to her baby.
How to Avoid Secondhand Smoke
It's simple: Avoid being around people who are smoking, and try to convince those around you who smoke to quit. Anyone who does smoke should do so outside, as far away from other people as possible.
Your home is probably the most important place to keep smoke-free, especially if you have children. Keeping kids (and adults) far away from smoke can help lower their chances of having respiratory infections, severe asthma, cancer, and many other serious conditions.

She said: "I really enjoy having sex, and that's offensive to some people. Women are the quickest to call other women sl**s, which I think is sad. I haven't met a lot of men who have said, 'You like having sex? What a dirty w***e you are.' "
Megan, 21, has also confessed it doesn't take much to get her in the mood for sex, because her raging hormones leave her in a permanent state of arousal.
She added: "I'm young and have a lot of hormones - I'm always in the mood! But I like sex with one person when I'm in a relationship. Sex with random people who I've met at clubs is not really my thing."

Tusk 1.6 High Pressure Radiator Cap Video
Tusk 1.6 High Pressure Radiator Cap
The Tusk 1.6 High-Pressure Radiator Cap is the simplest and most inexpensive way to reduce your motorcycle, ATV, or UTV from boiling over. The Tusk High-Pressure Radiator Cap raises your cooling system's maximum operating pressure, and therefore, lowers the boiling-point of your coolant. This is the perfect upgrade for most motorcycles and ATV radiators with stock 1.1 caps. You can see the lower 1.1 pressure rating on the top of this bike's stock radiator cap.
A stock 1.1 cap is equal to about 15.7 psi of pressure. The Tusk 1.6 cap equals approximately 22.8 psi pressure. The Tusk cap will raise the boiling point by 25 degrees when upgrading from the stock 1.1 cap. By reducing coolant boiling, your machine will be able to maintain its coolant level and not lose it at the overflow. Loss of coolant can result in overheating and engine failure.
The Tusk 1.6 High-Pressure Radiator Cap is perfect for 4-stroke and 2- stroke motorcycles, ATVs, and UTVs. It has a universal fit for most Japanese machines.
Rocky Mountain stocks a huge inventory of motorcycle and ATV parts, accessories, and apparel, including cooling system products. For more information, call us 1-800-336-5437, or visit us online at www.RockyMountainATVMC.com.

How do you measure the length of a stem? Is it from c to c (center of steerer tube opening to center of h-bar opening)?

Students at the Contentnea-Savannah Elementary School wrote letters and prayers Wednesday morning after hearing a recent visitor passed away.
Lenoir County Deputy Allen Pearson visited his childhood elementary school for career day Monday morning just hours before he was shot in the line of duty Tuesday night. He died at the hospital early Wednesday morning.
Pearson spent nearly four hours with third, fourth, and fifth grade students about being on the force at Lenoir County Sheriff's Office. One teacher says she knew Pearson personally. She says Pearson's impact on the children will last for a long time.

Melbourne Zoo's Asian Elephant Num-Oi has given birth overnight.
Her 22-month pregnancy concluded at 2:50am with the birth of a little boy.
Num-Oi was outdoors in the company of Kulab and her two-year-old calf Ongard. Mali, Dokkoon, and Mek Kapah were nearby and able to see the event taking place.
The newborn is the first calf for Num-Oi, and he is the fourth baby for the Zoo's fertile bull elephant Bong Su.
According to the keepers and vets, Num-Oi is being a very attentive and supportive first time Mum.
More photos to come, please check back here, on our Facebook page or Twitter.
Together we can improve animal care, reduce threatening processes and save endangered species.
Asian Elephants in the wild have been poached for their tusks and populations have dwindled. Melbourne Zoo has been successful in breeding four calves in recent years. You can help us fight extinction by adopting the Asian Elephant.

Specialty Hospitals:
Information on Potential New Facilities
GAO-05-647R: Published: May 19, 2005. Publicly Released: Jun 9, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Beginning in the 1990s, there was a substantial increase in the number of short-term acute care hospitals that primarily treat patients with specific medical conditions or who need surgical procedures. Advocates of such hospitals, commonly referred to as specialty hospitals, contend that their focused missions and dedicated resources can both improve quality and reduce health care costs. Critics contend that specialty hospitals siphon off the most profitable procedures and patient cases, typically without providing emergency care or other vital community services, and thus erode the financial health of neighboring general hospitals. Critics also contend that the ability of physicians to invest in a specialty hospital and then refer patients to that hospital creates financial incentives that may inappropriately affect physicians' clinical and referral behavior. In 2003, we issued two reports on the growth, characteristics, and performance of specialty hospitals. More than two-thirds of the 100 specialty hospitals we identified as being in existence in June 2003 had opened their doors since the beginning of 1990. The specialty hospitals in existence in fiscal year 2000, the most recent year for which we then had data, accounted for about 1 percent of Medicare spending for inpatient services. We also identified an additional 26 specialty hospitals under development in 10 states. Approximately 70 percent of the existing specialty hospitals were owned, in part or in whole, by physicians. Subsequent to our reports, Congress, through the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), established a moratorium which, in effect, temporarily halted further development of physician-owned specialty hospitals that focus on cardiac, orthopedic, or surgical procedures and mandated additional studies of specialty hospital issues. Specialty hospitals in operation as of November 18, 2003, are grandfathered under the moratorium and are allowed to expand within limits. Specialty hospitals not opened as of that date may apply to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and request a determination of their development status. Hospitals not open as of November 18, 2003, but sufficiently advanced in their development may be grandfathered. The MMA moratorium expires June 8, 2005. To help Congress consider the likely consequences of the moratorium's expiration, Congress asked us to provide updated information on the potential growth in the number of physician-owned specialty hospitals. This report responds to that request by presenting information that addresses the following questions: (1) How many applications for grandfather determinations has CMS received from specialty hospitals under development, what types of specialty hospitals applied, where were these hospitals located, and how many of the applications have been approved? (2) What information exists to indicate the likely number, location, and type of specialty hospitals not exempt from the moratorium that may be developed following its expiration?
As of April 29, 2005, CMS had received 40 applications from specialty hospitals under development seeking determinations that they were grandfathered under MMA's moratorium. CMS received 38 applications for new specialty hospitals and 2 applications for specialty hospital expansions. Slightly more than half (22) of the 40 applications were from surgical hospitals, while the rest were from cardiac hospitals (9), orthopedic hospitals (5), or hospitals that did not indicate their specialty (4). Three-fourths of the applications came from hospitals in four states: Texas (19), Louisiana (6), California (3), and Oklahoma (3). Of the 40 applications it received, CMS issued 12 favorable opinions (approvals) and 2 unfavorable opinions (denials). One of the 40 applications had been withdrawn. Comprehensive information about specialty hospitals that may be developed when the moratorium expires is both difficult to acquire and verify, although what does exist indicates continued growth in the number of specialty hospitals--in California, South Carolina, and Texas. Of the 52 facilities tentatively identified by AHA, FAH, and others as specialty hospitals under development, and that did not apply for a determination on whether they were subject to the moratorium, we were able to obtain information corroborating that 6 of the facilities will be physician-owned specialty hospitals. One of the 6 new facilities is planned as a cardiac hospital; the remaining 5 new facilities are slated to be surgical hospitals. Four of the 52 facilities had already opened as physician-owned specialty hospitals, while 4 others were no longer under development. We were unable to obtain sufficient information to determine the status and characteristics of 17 facilities. Finally, the available information for the remaining 21 of the 52 facilities indicated that they would not be physician-owned specialty hospitals. In short, the group of 52 facilities could include anywhere from 6 to 23 specialty hospitals under development. Additional facilities, especially those in the early planning stages, could also be under development as specialty hospitals. Representatives of community hospitals are concerned that the number of specialty hospitals could grow rapidly following the moratorium's expiration. In contrast, most representatives of specialty hospitals said that continued uncertainty over future federal actions and other factors would cause any such growth to be both moderate and gradual. Upon reviewing a draft of our report, CMS acknowledged the usefulness of our report and provided context for the scope of the specialty hospital issue.

Harvard Creates Self-Assembling Miniature Bee Robots from Pop-Up Parts
Posted By Andrew Michler On February 21, 2012 @ 3:40 pm In Green Technology,Innovation | No Comments
Harvard researchers [1] recently created a miniature mechanized bee called the Monolithic Bee or MoBee using a new technology that produces self-assembling three dimensional machines from flat sets of components. The bee robot [2] is assembled using layers of differing materials on an assembly scaffold – the body of the bee folds together like a pop-up book, and once released from the scaffold it becomes an autonomous, ridged 3-D object whose wings flap [3] when electrical current is applied. The technology could be used to create complex devices using manufacturing techniques similar to those used to make circuit boards.
The Monolithic Bee was created by the Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory [4], which has been researching ways to create tiny bee like robots [5] capable of moving and acting as a single colony. After building the tiny machines painstakingly by hand with mixed results, the team came upon an elegant solution.
The tiny mechanism measures 2.4 millimeters tall and is made from 18 layers of materials applied to provides joints, the body and mechanical connections. MoBees start as an octagon of carbon fiber plates about the diameter of a quarter. Layers of plastic film are aligned by posts and placed between the laser cut carbon fiber slices, providing flexible joints with adhesive sheets. Additional layers of titanium, brass, and ceramic provide a means of electrifying the robot.
The support scaffolding around the bug size robot [6] is the key to the self assembly process. Placed under tension, the scaffolding raises the parts [7] of the robot into place and secure it with a few well placed solder joints. The robot is then disconnected from the surrounding plate as a fully functional tiny mechanism. The process uses 137 origami-like folds to complete the robot in seconds.
The design hints at a new way to manufacture sophisticated 3 dimensional products by printing layers of different materials upon each other, similar to how electronics manufactures assemble chips and circuit boards.
