Public attitudes can affect the speed and direction of S&T development. When science plays a substantial role in a national policy controversy, more than the specific policies under debate may be at stake. The policy debate may also shape public opinion and government decisions about investments in general categories of research. Less directly, a highly visible debate involving science may shape overall public impressions of either the credibility of science or the proper role of science in other, less visible public decisions.
Likewise, public attitudes about emerging areas of research and new technologies may have an impact on innovation. The climate of opinion concerning new research areas could influence levels of public and private investment in related technological innovations and, eventually, the adoption of new technologies and the growth of industries based on these technologies.
For these reasons, survey responses about policy controversies involving science, specific research areas, and emerging technologies are relevant. In addition, responses about relatively specific matters provide a window into the practical decisions through which citizens translate more general attitudes into actions, although, like all survey responses, how these responses relate to actual behavior remains uncertain. More generally, even in democratic societies, public opinion about new scientific and technological developments does not translate directly into actions or policy. Instead, it filters through institutions that selectively measure what the public believes and either magnify or minimize the effects of divisions in public opinion on public discourse and government policy (Jasanoff 2005).
Attitudes toward policy issues always involve a multitude of factors and not just knowledge or understanding of relevant science. Values, morals, judgments of prudence, and numerous other factors can come strongly into play. Judgments about scientific fact are often secondary. In assessing the same issue, different people may find different considerations relevant.
This section begins with data on environmental issues, including global climate change and nuclear power. It then covers attitudes toward recent and novel technologies, including medical biotechnology, agricultural biotechnology (i.e., GM food), and nanotechnology. Data on cloning and stem cell research follow, and the section concludes with recent data on attitudes toward science and mathematics education and toward scientific research on animals.
The Gallup Organization's annual survey on environmental
issues indicates that Americans have become somewhat
more concerned about environmental quality in the
last 4 years (figure
Despite the rise in "worry" about the environment, concern about this issue barely registers when surveys ask Americans to name the country's top problem. In surveys conducted in the first quarter of 2009, only about 2% of Americans mentioned the environment or pollution in an open-ended question asking "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?" (The Gallup Organization 2009a, 2009b). In close-ended questions, worry about the environment ranked lower than worry about the economy (90%), the availability and affordability of either energy (82%) or healthcare (81%), and crime and violence (80%). The proportion of Americans worried about the quality of the environment was similar to the proportion worried about Social Security (75%), future terrorist attacks (73%), and hunger and homelessness (73%) and higher than the percentage worried about illegal immigration (70%), unemployment (68%), drug use (67%), and race relations (45%).
In the 2008 GSS, the majority of Americans (66%) believed
that the government is spending too little to reduce
pollution and only a handful thought it spent too much (8%, appendix table
However, when asked about various proposals to protect
the environment in Gallup surveys conducted between 2001
and 2007 (table
National data on the use of biofuels for energy consumption is scarce, but one survey found that 70% of Americans thought using ethanol was "mostly a good idea" (Broder and Connelly 2007).
Climate change, sometimes referred to as global warming (see sidebar "'Climate Change' Versus 'Global Warming'"), has recently become more prominent among environmental issues for the American public. Since 2000, Gallup has asked Americans how much they personally worry about eight environmental issues. The percentage of Americans who said they worried "a great deal" about "global warming" decreased from 40% in 2000 to 26% in 2004, but increased to 34% in 2008 (Saad 2009). Even with this increase, "global warming" still ranked eighth among these issues. The percentage of Americans worrying "a great deal" about this issue was lower than the percentage of Americans worrying "a great deal" about water-related environmental issues such as "pollution of drinking water" (59%), "pollution of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs" (52%), "contamination of soil and water by toxic waste" (52%), "maintenance of the nation's fresh water supply for household needs" (49%), and also "air pollution" (45%). Response categories in surveys, however, are not always distinct and may evoke overlapping associations in respondents. "Air pollution," for example, is related to carbon emissions and climate change.
Recent data show additional signs that awareness of climate change is increasing. Since 2004, Gallup surveys registered gradual increases in the percentage of Americans who say they understand the "global warming" issue "very well" or "fairly well," from 68% in 2004 to 80% in 2008 (The Gallup Organization 2009a). In addition, the number of Americans who say that the effects of "global warming" have already begun to occur has been steadily increasing since 2004 and was at an all time high in 2008 at 61%. The percentage of Americans who believe that most scientists think "global warming" is occurring has also been rising for over a decade. Most Americans think that "the increases in the Earth's temperature over the last century" are largely the result of human activities rather than natural changes; that percentage has been stable since 2001, hovering between 58% and 61% (The Gallup Organization 2009a).
In the debate over America's sources of energy, nuclear power has been a controversial subject. On the one hand, nuclear power is an appealing option to meet energy needs due to its low emissions of greenhouse gases and other atmospheric pollutants. On the other hand, there are serious concerns about this technology, such as risks in the operation of nuclear plants, the disposal of nuclear waste, and nuclear proliferation.
Overall, support for nuclear power is lower than for
conservation-based energy strategies (table
Despite some differences in wording between the Eurobarometer
and the U.S. questions, a 2008 report shows that
European public opinion on nuclear energy is divided but
support for energy production by nuclear power stations
has grown since 2005 (EC 2008a). Support for nuclear energy
varies a great deal among countries in this region. In
general, citizens of countries that have operational nuclear
power plants are considerably more likely to support nuclear
energy than citizens of other countries (figure
Recent advances in recombinant DNA technology enable the manipulation of genetic material to produce plants and animals with desirable characteristics. The most recent American data on attitudes in this area are from 2005. They show that Americans, Canadians, and Europeans have similarly favorable attitudes toward biotechnology in general and medical applications in particular. A study that collected U.S. and Canadian data found that about two-thirds of survey respondents in each country registered favorable attitudes (Canadian Biotechnology Secretariat 2005).[27]
Few Americans (about 1 in 10) consider themselves "very familiar" with biotechnology and Canadians report slightly less familiarity. Without a strong knowledge base to use in evaluating information, their assessment of the credibility of information sources is an important element in forming their judgments about information on this topic. In both the United States and Canada, scientific journals and government-funded scientists were the top-rated institutions that could provide information about biotechnology. Conversely, privately owned mass media, biotechnology company executives, and religious and political leaders ranked near the bottom in both countries. (For more detail on this subject, see NSB 2008.)
Although the introduction of GM crops has provoked much less controversy in the United States than in Europe, U.S. popular support for this application of biotechnology is limited. According to a 2008 CBS/New York Times poll, 44% of Americans indicated they had not heard much about GM ingredients added to foods to make them taste better and last longer. However, 87% believed that these foods should be labeled and 53% expected that it was "not very likely" or "not at all likely" that they would buy food that was labeled as such.
Overall, these results are consistent with a series of five surveys conducted by the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology between 2001 and 2006. These studies consistently found that only about one-fourth of U.S. consumers favored "the introduction of genetically modified foods into the U.S. food supply" (Mellman Group, Inc. 2006). The proportion of U.S. survey respondents reporting a negative reaction to the phrase "genetically modified food" (44%) was more than twice the 20% that reported a positive reaction (Canadian Biotechnology Secretariat 2005). Nonetheless, consumers in the United States expressed more favorable views than Europeans, with Canadians falling somewhere in between (Gaskell et al. 2006).
Although the FDA proposed guidelines for the approval process for genetically engineered animals in September 2008 (Maugh and Kaplan 2008), past surveys have generally found that in the U.S. residents are even more wary of genetic modification of animals than they are of genetic modification of plants (Mellman Group, Inc. 2005). Many express support for regulatory responses, but this support appears to be quite sensitive to the way issues are framed. Thus, whereas 29% expressed a great deal of confidence in "the Food and Drug Administration or FDA," only about half as many expressed the same confidence when the question was posed about "government regulators" (Mellman Group, Inc. 2006). (Additional findings from earlier U.S. surveys can be found in NSB 2006 and NSB 2008.)
Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at unprecedentedly small scales to create new or improved products that can be used in a wide variety of ways. Nanotechnology has been the focus of relatively large public and private investments for almost a decade, and innovations based on nanotechnology are increasingly common. However, relative to other new technologies, nanotechnology is still in an early stage of development and the degree of risk remains uncertain (Chatterjee 2008, Barlow et al. 2009).
Data from the 2008 GSS indicated that overall familiarity
with nanotechnology is similar to its 2006 level. The proportion
of Americans who had heard "a lot" or "some" about
nanotechnology remained virtually unchanged (5% and 15%
in both 2006 and 2008), but the proportion of those who had
heard "a little" or "nothing at all" declined slightly (appendix table
Despite increased federal funding and more than 600
nanotechnology products already on the market (The National
Academies 2008a),[28] nanotechnology knowledge levels
were not high (appendix table
When nanotechnology is defined in surveys, Americans
express favorable expectations for it. After receiving
a brief explanation of nanotechnology, GSS respondents
were asked about the likely balance between the benefits
and harms of nanotechnology. Similar to 2006, in 2008
38% said the "benefits will outweigh the harmful results"
and only 9% expected the harms to predominate (appendix table
Favorable expectations for nanotechnology are associated
with more education, greater science knowledge, and
greater familiarity with nanotechnology. Men are also more
likely to have favorable expectations than women (appendix table
In the GSS data, favorable attitudes toward nanotechnology are also associated with greater familiarity with it. That is, Americans who say they are more familiar with nanotechnology are more likely to believe that its benefits will outweigh the risks. However, this association does not mean that when people become more familiar their attitudes necessarily become positive. Some data suggest that when individuals who report knowing little or nothing about nanotechnology hear a balanced statement of its risks and benefits, they develop less favorable opinions of it (Peter D. Hart Research Associates, Inc. 2008). Furthermore, recent research suggests that attitudes toward nanotechnology are likely to vary depending on the context in which it is applied, with energy applications viewed much more positively than those in health and human enhancements (Pidgeon et al. 2009).
Unlike most issues involving scientific research, studies using embryonic stem cells have generated considerable public controversy. In the case of stem cell research, strongly held views about moral fundamentals determine many people's attitudes. There is less reason to believe that this is the case for certain other S&T issues, such as nuclear power.
Although a majority of the public supports such research, a substantial minority is opposed to it. When surveys ask about medical technologies that could be derived from embryonic stem cell research in the context of expected health benefits, public response is relatively positive. But technologies that involve cloning human embryos evoke consistently strong and negative responses.
Since 2004, the majority of the American public has favored
"medical research that uses stem cells from human
embryos" (VCU Center for Public Policy 2008). Support
grew continuously from 2002 (35% in favor) to 2005 (58%
in favor) and remained at a similar level in 2008 (figure
Support for stem cell research is higher when the question
inquires about research that uses stem cells from sources that
do not involve human embryos. Seven out of ten respondents
favored this type of research in 2008, down slightly
from 75% in 2007 (VCU Center for Public Policy 2008).
Support also increased when the question was framed as an
emotionally compelling personal issue ("If you or a member
of your family had a condition such as Parkinson's Disease,
or a spinal cord injury, would you support the use of embryonic
stem cells in order to pursue a treatment for that condition?").
In this case, 70% of Americans support treatments
that use stem cells and only 21% do not (VCU Center for
Public Policy 2006). Responses become more mixed when
questions mention "cloning technology" that is used only to
help medical research develop new treatments for disease.
However, opinion is decidedly negative when the question
asks about cloning or genetically altering animals without
mention of a medical purpose (table
Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to human cloning. In a 2008 VCU survey, the idea of cloning or genetically altering humans was rejected by 78% of Americans (VCU Center for Public Policy 2008). The specter of reproductive cloning can generate apprehension about therapeutic cloning. Asked how concerned they were that "the use of human cloning technology to create stem cells for human therapeutic purposes will lead to a greater chance of human reproductive cloning," over two-thirds of Americans said they were either very (31%) or somewhat (37%) concerned (VCU Center for Public Policy 2006).
In 2008, about two-thirds of Americans were "very clear" (23%) or "somewhat clear" (41%) about the difference between stem cells that come from human embryos, stem cells that come from adults, and stem cells that come from other sources (VCU Center for Public Policy 2008). However, public attitudes toward cloning technology are not grounded in a strong grasp of the difference between reproductive and therapeutic cloning (see glossary for the definitions). Most Americans (64%) said they were not clear ("not very clear" or "not clear at all") about this distinction, with 26% saying they were "somewhat clear" and only 8% characterizing themselves as "very clear" about it. The number of Americans who professed greater comprehension in 2008 was lower than it was when VCU began asking this question in 2002, despite, or perhaps because of, the increased visibility of stem cell research as a public issue.
Support for stem cell research is strongest among people with more years of formal education. Americans who are more religious and more politically conservative are more likely to oppose such research (VCU Center for Public Policy 2008).
A recent international survey on attitudes toward stem
cell research in a dozen European countries, the United
States, Japan, and Israel found that awareness, knowledge,
and attitudes about this type of research vary widely (Fundacion
BBVA 2008). Overall, Americans are more aware
of stem cell research than residents of most other countries
and more often respond correctly to knowledge questions
on this subject. Americans are somewhat more likely than
residents of several countries in Europe to believe that stem
cell research is immoral (appendix table
In much public discourse about how Americans will fare in an increasingly S&T-driven world, quality education in science and mathematics is seen as crucial for both individuals and the nation as a whole.
In the 2008 GSS, majorities of Americans in all demographic
groups agreed that the quality of science and mathematics
education in American schools is inadequate. Their
level of agreement increases with education, science knowledge,
income, and age (appendix table
In addition, the proportion of Americans who indicated
they believe the government is spending too little money in
improving education in the biannual GSS surveys has been
consistently over 70% since the early 1980s. Along with improving
health care, this is one of the two top areas where the
public feels government spending is too low (figure
The medical research community conducts experimental tests on animals in order to advance scientific understanding of biological processes and test the effectiveness of drugs and procedures that may eventually be used to improve human health.
Most Americans support at least some kinds of animal research. Nearly two-thirds said they favored "using animals in medical research" (VCU Center for Public Policy 2007). According to a different survey conducted by Gallup, the majority of respondents supported this kind of research: 64% opposed "banning all medical research on laboratory animals" and 59% opposed "banning all product testing on laboratory animals" (Newport 2008).
However, opposition has grown in the past two decades.
When asked whether scientists should be allowed to do "research
that causes pain and injury to animals like dogs and
chimpanzees" if it produces new information about human
health problems, between 42% and 45% of Americans in the
early 1990s disagreed. This proportion increased to 51% in
2001 and 58% in 2008 (figure
Past NSF surveys suggest that the public is more comfortable with the use of mice in scientific experiments than the use of dogs and chimpanzees (NSB 2002). In 2001 68% of Americans agreed that scientists should be allowed to do research that causes pain and injury to animals like mice if it produces new information about human health problems, compared to 44% who expressed agreement when the question focused on dogs and chimpanzees (NSB 2002).
While recent comparable international data are lacking, a survey conducted by Gallup in 2003 showed that Americans and Canadians were more likely to tolerate scientific research on animals than the British. When asked: "Regardless of whether or not you think it should be legal, please tell me whether you personally believe that in general medical testing on animals is morally acceptable or morally wrong," the majority of adults in the U.S. and Canada believed it was morally acceptable (63% and 59%, respectively). In contrast, the majority of British respondents thought it was morally wrong (54%) (Mason Kiefer 2003).

Jarrow Formula, Alpha Lipoic Sustain 300 with Biotin
Publié par Reviewer1206822 le Feb 25, 2009
I have been taking these tablets for over a year now. I read somewhere that ALA was good for neuropathy along with Methyl B-12 which I also take. The ALA always lowers my blood sugar and balances it out because of the timed released tablets. But the big bonus is how my skin began to look and how my hair, that was thining, began to grow. I haven't had a pony tail since my teenage years but now I have a real one.
Wonderful product!

I bought these after reading several reviews of how they helped people with diabetic neuropathy. I had it really bad in my feet and was having trouble sleeping so I said I would try anything to see if it would help, I was desperate. I tried these pills and they started to work almost immediately! I can finally get some sleep without the foot pain! THANK YOU JARROW FOR A WONDERFUL PRODUCT AND A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP!

I use Jarow Alpha Lipoic Sustain 300 for keeping the circulation in my legs flowing and my ankles from swelling. I have vericois veins and this helps my problem. This formula has no taste and is time released and in the amount I need, plus it was recommended by my doctor. CAT
Good product

Mom's kidney function was quickly declining due to systemic Lupus and the steroids she has taken for years. When she added this ALA to her protocol (one in AM and one in PM) her kidney function ceased declining. It has been over a year, and the kidney function remains at 37% We believe the lipoic acid protects the cells from further damage by the disease and the steroids. Dad was diabetic, and ALA kept his blood sugar down enough that he was able to discontinue his insulin injections.
The Best!!!

A city neighborhood was back to normal Tuesday, a day after a derailed CN freight train carrying hazardous material forced people to evacuate homes and schools.
Nine of the train's 79 cars left the tracks Monday morning near Interstate 75. Four of the nine derailed tank cars contained methanol, which is used as antifreeze and is flammable. Some liquid leaked from the train, but officials described the leak as minimal.
The area within a mile radius was evacuated as a precaution. CN spokesman Jim Kvedaras said the train was put back on the tracks and sent in for repairs. He said traffic on the railroad resumed its normal schedule Tuesday. He said the first of the railroad's lines reopened at 3 a.m. EDT, and the second opened 2 ½ hours later.
The three schools that had been evacuated were back in session, district spokeswoman Mattie Majors said.

Michael Langley introduces the prophet of free colonisation in Australasia.
The British colonial policy towards the indigenous people of Tasmania in the first part of the 19th century amounted to ethnic cleansing, a part of its history that Britain still hasn't confronted, argues Tom Lawson.
Arthur Phillip, white Australia's founding father, is an English Enlightenment hero that England has never been enlightened enough to honour. This...
Bertha S. Dodge follows the journey of John Ledyard, a captain's son from Connecticut, who helped to explore the Pacific and travelled across the Russian Empire.
George Grey was governor in succession of South Australia, New Zealand, Cape Colony and New Zealand again. Cyril Hamshere charts a most remarkable career in the Victorian Colonial service.
Australia and the US were allies during the Second World War, though that wasn't always apparent in the relationship between GIs and Diggers. This is the story of one especially bitter encounter.
George Russo describes how this enlightened priest undertook a double task - to convince the Australian government of its responsibilities and accustom the aborigines to modern life.
Conrad Dixon describes how, in the service of the Dutch East India Company, Pelsaert of Antwerp was the first European to spend some time on shore.
C.R. Boxer describes how one of the Dutch Indiamen carrying pieces of eight to the East Indies was fatally wrecked off the western coast of Australia in 1656.
Early in December 1854, a group of miners, led by a hot-headed Irish rebel, defied the forces of the Australian Government. For many Australians, writes T.R. Reese, this gallant but hopeless gesture still symbolizes democracy's unending struggle to preserve the freedom of the common man.

Any of my fellow October 2012 mommies here? We are so excited for baby #2 can't believe I'm going to have 2 under 2 hahaha. Any advice?
Any October 2012 moms on here?

I was suppose to be an Oct 2012 mama, but my little guy came at 36 weeks, which made me a September 2012 mama. I can't believe I'm going to have two under two! I'm glad to hear someone say it wasn't as difficult as people make it out to be. Honestly, I thought people really oversold how difficult parenting a baby was, too. My little guy is great and easy-going. It was a life-changer, but it wasn't the constantly tired mess I was expecting.

I'm an October 2012 mom, (although techincally I was supposed to be a November 2012 mom, as my boy came a month early). 17 months apart will be their age difference. Craziness!
I'm also an Oct. 12 mom and expecting number 2. 17 months apart. I'm excited. I've heard it's a little hard to begin with but well worth it. Good luck to all of us!
Nov 2012 mama here..!! My LOs will be 14 months apart... Honestly m more nervous than being excited
I dont understand how oct babies will be 17 mons apart from their march 14 siblings??

Summi.tazeen: 17 months apart from oct-march. My little one will be 12 months (1 year old) in October. Then from October to march is 5 months so the 12 months plus the 5 is 17 months between them. My due date is actually the 15th and my first was born on the 12th so they should be almost exactly 17 months apart. Hope that helps with the confusion.
Depending on your little ones actual dates of birth, it sounds like yours might be closer to 16 months apart.

This is a debate that has been going on for a long time;
which is better, shiny hunting or RNG?
Shiny hunting is the act of finding shiny Pokemon through the use of random encounters and soft resetting. Essentially the idea is to encounter as many Pokemon as possible in the hopes of one of them being shiny. It's considered a much slower and more tedious method of obtaining shiny Pokemon than RNG, and the Pokemon you obtain don't necessarily have good IVs or natures, but its considered a fairer and easier way of obtaining the shiny Pokemon you want and has been referred to as a more honest way of finding the Pokemon.
RNG is the act of manipulating the game's internal clock and using methods of frame advancement in order to make certain Pokemon appear. This method can easily yield flawless Pokemon with whatever traits you desire, but it takes a lot of skill to get it right and it can be very hard to work with, sometimes taking days to perform just one RNG.
So the question is: which do you prefer?

Donating Your Eggs
This morning I heard on the radio that alot of women donate their eggs in the USA for around $6,000. There was one girl who had donated over 60eggs. WOAH! To me this is crazy! I had a bunch of thoughts in my head as I heard this.
A) Could you live knowing you might have a biological child out there?
B) What about the risks later in life?
C) $6,000 that would solve a lot of money issues, do it twice and you are set (to a point)
D) I am very confused
E) Is the process painful, uncomfy, what?
So, I thought I would see what everyone else thinks of this. As much as I researched (not much) it doesn't look like you can do this in Canada. So, what are your thoughts?

Talk about paying for the name. The Armani shop at London's Heathrow Airport has a tax-free special of 938 pounds on a jet-black Armani hybrid bike, built by Bianchi with bold silver markings telling you who made and designed it. It looks like a nice aluminum bike, and comes with Armani lights, water bottle and natty little handlebar bag, and would certainly get a few looks out there on the roads or trails.
But at that price couldn't they come up with something better than Sora for the rear derailleur? I would have thought Ultegra at the very least, or go Italian and Campy.
The well-dressed salesman confessed he didn't really know much about bikes but believes each Armani shop will have one of these bikes soon. He says it rides well. Presumably we're talking about quick spins up and down the airport corridors when the last passengers have left.

In NT prior to Vista, if you created a local folder and were in the Administrators group and gave that folder Full Control, you could access that folder locally. Now in Vista/7/2008 it says "would you like to add yourself permanently to this folder?" and then you click proceed and it adds your account.
If you just have:
It padlocks the folder and does the question prompt.
However if you have one of the following:
[another group to which you are a member and have access to the folder with] OR
Authenticated Users group [with read or more] OR
CREATOR OWNER [but it will just re-add your user account if you leave CREATOR OWNER]
It doesn't padlock the folder and acts as you'd expect.
Why does this work this way? This seems counter-intuitive to me. It seems like it opens up a potential to confuse people and introduce security holes. Is there a "best practice" and if so, what it is?

I'm getting a Trek 5200 this week and it has Look A5.1 clipless pedals on it.
I'm a total newbie when it comes to clipless and don't know where to start. I've been riding a Giant OCR2 and it isn't clipless.
What kind of setup should I get? Do I just need the shoe or is there another component that attaches to the shoe and clips to the pedal? How much should I plan to spend on something that will last? Can you wear the shoes when you get off the bike? Questions, questions.... Thanks!
BTW, I ride 100-150 mpw with very little stop and go traffic.

Center Grove's girls basketball coach Shawn Sanders suspected he had a deep team this season. He found out for sure Tuesday, but not the way he or his team wanted.
The Trojans' starting point guard, senior Shelby Shaffer lay on the floor writhing in pain midway through the second quarter with apparent knee and ankle injuries after battling for a loose ball.
She didn't return, but her teammates more than made up for her absence. They outscored host Southport 39-24 after Shaffer exited and cruised to a 65-48 victory in the season-opener for both teams.
Center Grove, which returned all five starters from this past year's team, turned to its bench for key contributions. Sophomore Bri Gliesmann led the Trojans reserves with 10 rebounds and 13 points, while freshman Lauren Rau and sophomore Jessica Norris logged valuable minutes after Shaffer exited.
Shaffer was standing and walking on her own along the Center Grove bench as the game progressed, and Sanders seemed optimistic she could return to the lineup soon. In the meantime, he was proud of the way his team responded.
"That shows a little bit about our depth," Sanders said. "When you have a starter go down in a very physical game like that, it's nice to have freshmen and sophomores step up."
The teams combined to shoot 62 free throws, but the Trojans took better advantage of their opportunities. Center Grove hit 22 of 30 attempts, while Southport hit just 18 of 32. Gliesmann hit 7 of 8 free throws, and teammate Lauren Weidman hit 6 of 7 en route to a game-high 19 points.
"This game is always a tough battle," Weidman said of Southport, which has played Center Grove in the season-opener three straight seasons. "We knew they would need to foul, and we put a ton of focus on free throws. We responded very well."
Southport trailed 36-33 with 5:25 remaining in the third quarter, but Center Grove's bench took over offensively from there. The Trojans strung together an 11-0 run, with Gliesmann scoring eight points and fellow bench player Bobbie Clayton adding the other three, to extend the lead to 47-33. Southport never drew closer than 10 points after that.
"We've been waiting for that kind of game from Bri," Sanders said. "She's probably our most physical player, and when we started pressing, that's her kind of game, when she can get out in open space."
Ali Line added 11 points and seven rebounds for the Trojans, while Madison Kolthoff scored eight points and grabbed six boards.
Bria Wright led Southport with 17 points but hit just 4 of 14 field-goal attempts. JaBreena Gardner scored 13 point and grabbed a team-high eight rebounds for the Cardinals, who shot just 24.1 percent from the floor (13 of 54).
Center Grove plays its home-opener Thursday against Bloomington North.

On The Local Convergence of The Byrd-Schnabel Algorithm For Constrained Optimization
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/1813/7108
MetadataShow full item record
Coleman, Thomas F.; Liao, Ai-Ping
Most reduced Hessian methods for equality constrained problems use a basis for the null space of the matrix of constraint gradients and posess superlinearly convergent rates under the assumption of continuity of the basis. However, computing a continuously varying null space basis is not straightforward. Byrd and Schnabel [2] propose an alternative implementation that is independent of the choice of null space basis, thus obviating the need for a continuously varying null space basis. In this note we prove that the primary sequence of iterates generated by one version of their algorithm exhibits a local 2-step Q-superlinear convergence rate. We also establish that a sequence of "midpoints", in a closely related algorithm, is (1-step) Q-superlinearly convergent. Key words: constrained optimization, null space, superlinear convergence, reduced Hessian.

The coexistence of barriers to labor mobility with large output-per-worker disparities driven by Total Factor Productivity (TFP) differences suggests that the world's labor force is misallocated across countries. We investigate the extent and consequences of this potential misallocation in the context of a simple two-location growth model, in which production requires capital, labor and an essential immobile factor (land). We characterize the magnitude of labor movements implied by an efficient long-run allocation, and derive their implications for capital accumulation. Quantitatively, even for moderate TFP differences, we find substantial increases in world output associated with efficient allocations. These output increases are driven by large movements of labor from low to high TFP countries, as well as by a sizeable increase in the capital stock and changes in its endogenous division across countries. Our results are robust to a large set of parameter values, including unrealistically conservative ones.
Keywords: TFP; cross-country income differences; capital accumulation; labor mobility

Early this morning while at work, my wife took a trip to the E.R. - dizzy spells, trouble breathing, etc. I guess it was about 4:00 AM. It took a few hours, but they eventually narrowed it down to pulmonary embolism -- that is, some blood clots that'd worked their way into her lungs, which they found via CT scan. As best we can tell, this is from complications with her surgery last week.
She won a most-expenses-paid weekend stay at Overland Park Regional Med. Center. We're not sure how long they're going to keep her there, but it's probably going to be a few days. Please keep us in your prayers, send positive thoughts, or whatever it is you believe in, if you would.

I'm writing on behalf of my wife who I went with for her nails to be done. She was most impressed with the service and end results. Since then her sister has been on multiple occasions as was so impressed.
Very efficient massage. The practitioner new her stuff and gave my back and legs a proper kneading. i felt a lot more energised after leaving the venue. Would definitely recommend.
The centre is excellent and I knew I could rely on receiving a good treatment from previous good experiences. I have sensitive skin (rosacea) which was addressed but there wasn't any specific tailoring of my treatment that meant that I still left with a red face. Having said that the treatment was still enjoyable and I left relaxed and felt thoroughly exfoliated and my skin hydrated.
The Swiss Cottage Spa London is a very good value professional spa that really is worth going too. The spa is clean and the staf are friendly and professional. I'd recommend this spa to anyone.
The booking process involving calling/texting a mobile is by the easiest way one can make an appointment. So much better than difficult booking processes others use.
The actual treatment was also excellent- the pressure was full on and definitely made me feel a lot better afterwards. I will definitely be back- best Thai massage in London.
This local spa has recently had an upgrade and now is a great retreat.
I enjoyed the relaxing quiet room massage that was very relaxing and did me a world of good.
They also told me about the free facial analysis/mini facial that I returned for the next day for and was glad I did. Well recommended.
Smilepod is my very pleasant. The location is excellent and my therapist had good personality which is very important to distract you when you are getting a hygienist clean. Would definitely consider returning.


text: Posted 7 Nov 2011 This story just keeps getting more bizarre. So in 1998 (or 99, just as the first accusations against Sandusky wre coming out) the then county DA who would have been responsible for mounting a case against Sandusky & PSU went missing near a river outside of Happy Valley. His county laptop was discovered a month later, hard drive removed. He was never found. The guy they replaced him with? This is from the PSU student newspaper: In 1998, a mother reported Sandusky was with her son in a shower on campus. The incident was reviewed by University Police and then-University counsel Wendell Courtney. Courtney was, and still is, the lawyer for The Second Mile (Sandusky's Foundation). Former Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar decided there was not enough evidence to charge Sandusky after the incident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The public is invited to two days of sessions to review and comment on Lancaster County's proposed new Unified Development Ordinance and zoning map.
The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) is mandated by the South Carolina Planning Act. The UDO includes zoning district standards, infrastructure standards, general development standards, natural resources protection and the official zoning map.
While officials remained tight-lipped, The Lancaster News has learned that a Polish company that manufactures a compound used in the tire-making process has purchased the 180,000-square-foot Josyln Clark Controls building.
According to the Lancaster County Register of Deeds, Makrochem LLC bought the 32-acre site March 10 for a little more than $1.5 million. The site is on West Meeting Street near S.C. 9.
A York County Republican has announced plans to run against U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney, saying the three-term Fifth District incumbent has drifted too far to the right and is accountable for Washington's gridlocked culture.
Ray Craig of Lake Wylie, who said he's a former nonprofit executive who now works as a grocery cashier, declared his candidacy Wednesday at the York County Courthouse.
Defamation, breach of contract and civil conspiracy are some of the allegations Keith Tunnell made this week in a lawsuit against Lancaster County, several county officials and a regional economic alliance.
Lancaster County's jobless rate increased nearly a half point in January, ending a six-month trend of improving numbers.
According to the S.C Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW), the county's unemployment rate was 6 percent in January, up from 5.6 percent in December. The latest data was released March 14.
The county's unemployment rate has fallen dramatically in recent years as the economic recovery has strengthened. In January 2015, the rate was 7.3 percent.
The Lancaster News brought home both top awards for its division at the S.C. Press Association's annual banquet in Columbia Saturday, and senior reporter Christopher Sardelli was named the state's weekly Journalist of the Year.
The newsroom staff won 29 awards during this year's contest, which judged work published between November 2014 and November 2015.
The wins earned TLN the President's Award for Excellence in the 2-3 Times Weekly Division, an honor the newspaper has received four years running.
Coming off a county budget year that focused heavily on public safety initiatives, from additional patrol deputies to funding for full-time firefighters, county officials are predicting a "status quo year" in the upcoming budget process.
As he headed off for days filled with preliminary budget planning meetings, County Administrator Steve Willis said this week that the fiscal year 2016-17 county budget will most likely feature no new, large-scale initiatives.
Between town council elections in Kershaw and Heath Springs, a special election for Lancaster mayor, two presidential primaries, a school bond referendum and now, candidate filing for the statewide party primaries, it's already been a busy election year.
It's no wonder that wires can get crossed up, as local county officials learned this week.
After months of debate about school overcrowding, security concerns and technology upgrades, Lancaster County voters overwhelmingly decided Tuesday to approve a $199 million school bond.
According to final vote tallies, Lancaster County residents overall approved the measure 5,420 to 1,885.
Though the vote totals seem high for a special election bond referendum, they represent only 13 percent of the total 55,313 registered voters in the county.
Christian Services is launching an outreach next month to strengthen families by partnering with Lancaster County Adult Education, a church and a business to host three workshops.
"We see so many fractured families with a plateful of issues, and the truth is, many of them are rooted in broken homes," said Christian Services community relations liaison Mark Barrett. "That's something we've got to reverse."
Fractured families usually stem from one of three factors, said Christian Services Executive Director Eric Kramer.

The roster for the 2008-09 Washington Huskies came into clearer focus this weekend when Isaiah Thomas reported that he had received a qualifying score on the ACT.
"It's a big relief to get it off my shoulders," Thomas said Sunday.
The 5-foot-8 guard, formerly of Curtis High in Tacoma, is expected to be a key contributor for the Huskies next season. But he has had to travel a long road to overcome academic hurdles.
After committing to UW in the spring of 2006, he ended up not signing with the Huskies that fall because of issues with his grades. He instead enrolled at South Kent (Conn.) Prep School and spent two years there, delaying the start of his college career by a year.

Now, as long as he completes his classes at South Kent — he said he expects to graduate June 1 — he will be eligible to play for UW next year.
"It has worked out tremendously," Thomas said of his detour to South Kent.
Thomas averaged 31.2 points his last year at Curtis and broke nine state 4A tournament records, including most points in a game (51) in 2006.
Thomas said he found out his test score Friday after checking online. He was prepared to take the SAT again on Saturday if he hadn't gotten the score he needed.
Instead, he spent the weekend planning for his arrival at UW. He said he would return to Seattle immediately upon graduation from South Kent and enroll in a summer bridge program at Washington.
"I think I'll fit in real good at UW," he said. "The style of play, the up-and-down system, fits my game tremendously well."
Thomas is one of four members of UW's Class of 2008, which is rated 15th in the country by Scout.com. All four are expected to qualify academically. The others are guards Scott Suggs of Augusta, Mo., Elston Turner Jr., of Missouri City, Texas; and forward Tyreese Breshers of Los Angeles.
• One of Thomas' first games as a Husky could come against defending national champion Kansas. Washington is scheduled to play in the 16-team CBE Classic next November, and reportedly is in the same bracket as the Jayhawks.
