|Rescue Me ID: 16-04-09-00153Lola (female)
Lola is a staffie X who is 2 years old. She had a rough start in life and unfortunately the person who saved her from that then had a change of working shifts so Lola was left on her own for long periods of time. As a result she became frustrated and chewed her way out several times, so BABS have taken her in to find her a decent home. Lola was in short term foster before moving to her new foster home. This is what the fosterer there has to say about her: 'Lola really is a sweet heart would love nothing more than a family. We went out over the fields today with the kids she was on the long line wouldn't leave my daughter's side ... (Read More)absolutely loves children. Out on walks she can't get away from other dogs quick enough she really is timed.' Lola could live with a submissive, non-reactive male dog for company - or with people who would be with her nearly all the time. Definitely no cats! (Less)

|Rescue Me ID: 16-04-09-00148Missy (female)
Missy is a love bug of a staffie around 4 years old. She prefers to be the only dog in the home because she prefers humans and boy does she have alot of love to give!! Missy is wonderful with adults and children. Although she does not seem to be interested in cats outside we would still suggest no cats! If you're looking for a K9 companion that will never leave your side then Missy is your girl. She is in foster in Middlesborough. 25/2/16 - a lovely update from her fosterer: 'She is a full on love bug and enjoys her snuggles. She does like to be a lap dog but does enjoy her walks. She is fully house trained and doesn't snatch food out ... (Read More)your hand. She is very gentle and extremely good with my kids. When my daughter was ill, Missy wouldn't leave her side as you can see from one of the photos. She doesn't seem bothered about cats that she has seen in the garden. She is a one dog house as she craves attention all the time and I don't think she would do well sharing attention. She sits on our windows sill and waits till we come home and then hops down. She has never destroyed anything and has the run of the house when we go out. When we first fostered her I did lock her in the kitchen when I went on the school run but all she did was howl till I came home so hence the run of the house and she is happy with that and no more howling. She is not a dog that barks when there is a knock on the door. Any home will be lucky to have her.' (Less)

|Rescue Me ID: 16-04-09-00147Roxy (female)
Roxy is a 3 year old staffie. She adores people but as she thinks all toys are hers we would only rehome to adults only or families with older children. She got on well with every dog she has met while in foster, but no cats! 25/02/16 - update from her fosterer: 'Say hi to foxy Roxy, she loves her food, playing and sleeping. She does not like little kids as they are too grabby, and she does not like to wear her Halti, she is learning her basic commands and now can sit and wait for food rather than launching for it. She lives well with other dogs and seems to get on with my ferrets. Not cat tested'

|Rescue Me ID: 16-04-09-00145Princess (female)
Lovely little Princess is in foster and is doing very well with her very bouncy foster brother and the child in the home. She is great with children. She doesn't accept every dog she meets so we feel she would be better suited as an only dog who meets her doggy friends when out and about. She adores humans and is very loving. She will benefit from someone who can continue her training as so far in her life she hasn't had much but is doing really well in foster, she's getting there. We would advise that Princess isn't homed where there are cats or small furies as she loves to chase them, she also hates horses. Princess is in foster in ... (Read More)Birmingham. We cannot understand why she has been waiting for a home for so long as she is now around 18 months old. (Less)

Storming Norman is a staffie cross spotty thing! He's a tall bouncy baby who had a really bad start to life but he doesn't let that get him down! He has just had his first birthday. Norman was on foster with other dogs and learned how to play nicely. He is now on foster as an only dog and says actually he likes getting all the love and attention to himself. He would not live with a cat. He has met and adores all ages of children but due to his bounciness we would prefer for him to be homed with older children as young ones could be knocked flying. Norman need a home that will be committed to continuing his training needs as he is at ... (Read More)the age where he will push boundaries. He can be possessive of his people and his toys, something that the current fosterer is working with. Can you be that someone? Please contact us if you'd like to adopt this gorgeous boy. He is currently located near Manchester however his Foster Mum is soon having a change in working hours so we need to find him a new foster home - maybe you could help him this way? (Less)

There are multiple

Can these be stopped, is it likely I have a virus?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
What is svchost.exe?
Why could it use a lot of CPU Power?
Services do things in the background on your computer, you can check that in the Resource Monitor:
svchost.exe are normal processes on win7. it is also normal to have multiple running at once. But what is abnormal is that they are taking up so much CPU. does this happen all the time? try restarting. It could just be a system error stuck in a loop.
but it could also be a virus, they like to pretend to be windows processes. If so, do some virus cleaning.
though to immediately stop the processes you could always just go ctrl+alt+delete and stop services

The man who pleaded guilty to dumping oil-field waste into a Mahoning River tributary late in 2012 and early in 2013 has been sentenced to three years' probation and 300 hours of community service.
U.S. District Judge Donald C. Nugent in Cleveland imposed the sentence Thursday on Michael P. Guesman, 34, of Cortland, but did not impose on him any fine or restitution.
Guesman pleaded guilty Aug. 29, 2013, to one count of violating the federal Clean Water Act by dumping brine and drilling mud down a storm drain.
Guesman's boss, Ben Lupo, 62, of Poland, and Lupo's company, Hardrock Excavating LLC, earlier pleaded not guilty to the same charge, but Lupo is scheduled for a change-of-plea hearing at 10:30 a.m. Monday.
The available sentencing range for the charge is probation to three years in prison, followed by a year of supervised release, and a fine up to $250,000.
In his plea agreement, Guesman says he dumped the waste from 20,000- gallon storage tanks on Salt Springs Road in Youngstown at Lupo's direction on 24 nights beginning Dec. 12, 2012.
The U.S. attorney agreed to recommend favorable consideration for Guesman at his sentencing in exchange for his acceptance of responsibility and "substantial assistance" to the prosecution.
The investigation of the case was triggered by a Jan. 31, 2013, discharge that resulted in a massive cleanup that used specialized contractors and cost more than $1 million.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has revoked Hardrock's brine-hauling certificate.
It also revoked all injection-well permits for another of Lupo's companies, D&L Energy Inc.
Last fall, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kay Woods approved the sale of "substantially all" of D&L's assets for $20.7 million to Resource Land Holdings LLC of Denver, which was the highest bidder in an auction.
The case was prosecuted by Brad J. Beeson, a Cleveland-based assistant U.S. attorney.
Guesman was represented by Carolyn M. Kucharski, a Cleveland-based assistant federal public defender.
Lupo is represented by Attys. Joseph W. Gardner of Canfield and Roger M. Synenberg of Cleveland.
What a sham. This man puts poison into the drinking water of thousands of people. Almost certainly causing the death by cancer of dozens. He gets nothing. This is a perfect example of why the business run Ohio government must be replaced with something that protects the people.
Sometimes I wonder why I'm alive after reading frightened responses like the above posts.
Are any of you old enough to remember when the steel mills were full production around Youngstown? What they dumped into the Mahoning was several orders of magnitude above this Lupo's little dribble.
We all thrived and survived then. Get over it.
I think that the sentence could have been a little steeper, but we all know that Lupo is the one that they will bring the hammer down on, and hard.
@Joe, being that the steel mills did this in the 70's, and knowing what it did to the Mahoning river, it should make this a more despicable act, not a more tolerated "get over it people" mentality. Do you know the efforts and costs that have been associated trying to restore the Mahoning from the steel mills? Then idiots do this without thinking twice. But certain people don't want any environmental regulations slowing down business and cutting into profits.
Absolutely appropriate sentence for a guy with no prior record. Further how do you base punishment on a crime where the negative effects cannot be assessed and the science is unsure of. Can't be punished for "what we think might possibly happen some day if all circumstances are right". I love the above whacko who is certain (and hoping) that masses of folks will die from cancer. Absolutely nothing scientific to support that statement. problem is-if it would further the environmentalist cause they would be grateful for those deaths. Nut balls man.
You are correct. There are far worse contaminants in the Mahoning than the oil field wastes that D&L dumped in the sewer. But, the hypocrisy of our government is amazing. They will fine the owner and company that do this but they won't use their resources to clean the river of the KNOWN carcinogens; those that force the EPA to issue alerts that you should not touch the water let alone ingest it. The sentence for this underling seems appropriate. Lupo will be going to prison. And, to correct a previous poster; while the Mahoning is no longer used as a source of drinking water, it does empty into Beaver Creek, which is used.
This guy got off with a slap on the wrist! Now let's hope they hang the real scumbag Lupo!
The Goos Man now has friends in government. Is the Mahoning river water drinkable yet? Doesn't the city of Warren dump sewer water into the Mahoning as a taste enhancer?
@ dontbeafool:
>> Do you know the efforts and costs that have been associated trying to restore the Mahoning <<
There is a lot of talk about "cleaning up" the river but so far little if any action has occurred. Removing remnants of old dams and dredging the river has been discussed. All very costly procedures.
The question is, how clean do you want it?
You and I were not living before the river was put to industrial use. We can only imagine how we would like it to be.
That imagination will probably exceed reality resulting in a very expensive proposition with little overall gain.
In today's world, everyone wants something yesterday, they can't wait. The truth is that given sufficient time, nature will clean most all of the river.
Change is already evident since the demise of the mills and sewage treatment has been implemented. Be patient.
If Lupo is sentenced for the maximum "The available sentencing range for the charge is probation to three years in prison, followed by a year of supervised release, and a fine up to $250,000." Just a slap on the wrist.
INTHEKNOW55: You are very naive if you think that the Mahoning River does not affect drinking water.
The Mahoning River joins the Shenango River in Pennsylvania to form the Beaver River, which flows into the Ohio River. The Ohio River flows into the Mississippi River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico and mixes with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Ohio River is the source of drinking water for more than three million people.
Over 25 million people, almost 10% of the US population, live in the Ohio River Basin.
@joe, I do not understand your thought process. First you say, it isn't any big deal to dump into the river, get over it. Then you say this.
"In today's world, everyone wants something yesterday, they can't wait. The truth is that given sufficient time, nature will clean most all of the river.
Change is already evident since the demise of the mills and sewage treatment has been implemented. Be patient."
My stance is that we have been waiting patiently for almost 40 years for nature to clean the river and then some jackarse wants to take a shortcut and intentionally dump waste directly into the river.
So it is no big deal? It is like waiting for a fruit tree to grow 10 years, and then right before it produces it's first fruit, your idiot neighbor comes over and takes a chainsaw to it. So I guess Lupo should just be fined, and we can start the patient waiting game all over again. Or we can just turn our heads completely, let people use it as a dumping ground, and say it's no big deal.
@ dontbeafool:
I understand your well presented point. It cites an elaborated situation for effect.
By today's standards what Lupo & Company did was technically wrong.
In reality, what happened won't make a hill of beans difference in the river status. It's greatest effect was in the minds of the people.
Don't worry, there is such a concentrated observation of industrial activity, with regard to environmental impact, that no one will get away with much today.
Terra pint:
Why this, why that, why anything?
Let anyone do anything at any time?
Your convoluted 'reasoning' could be applied to any situation which does not 'cause' I'll effect.
As a point of fact, the gent who dumped was breaking a law.
If this is true, he is entitled to due process, which he received.
His consequence, or sentence, is probably appropriate.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama's finance department says the state Education Trust Fund in October through April collected $3.025 billion. That's a drop of $76.3 million, or 2.5 percent, compared to the same period a year earlier.
Acting state Finance Director Bill Newton says he thinks the decline reported Monday is overstated because of a delay in processing state personal income tax payments.
Newton says he had no plans to recommend changing this year's budgeted trust fund spending because of Monday's status report.
Gov. Bob Riley months ago cut this year's trust fund spending by 7.5 percent, to $5.3 billion, because of lower-than-expected tax collections.
The trust fund is the main source of state tax dollars for public schools, two-year colleges and universities.

Bulgaria's 12-month inflation stabilised at 2.0 percent in May after dropping for months, as the country continues to battle deepening poverty with a new government in place.
Inflation was unchanged in May from April at 2.0 percent after falling since the beginning of the year, as food and utilities prices -- the main drivers behind inflation -- remained stable, official data showed on Wednesday.
On a month-on-month basis, consumer prices in EU member Bulgaria were down 0.1 percent in May after edging down 0.4 percent the previous month.
Using the European Union's harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP), the European Central Bank's inflation yardstick, 12-month inflation was 1.0 percent, up from 0.9 percent in April.
In 2012, inflation in the EU's poorest country averaged 3.0 percent, just below the government's target of 3.2 percent, and it was expected to be around 3.4 percent this year.
A new Socialist-backed government of technocrats took office in late May and has the task of tackling the country's serious poverty and unemployment problems, which led to the previous government being ousted in February.

Hillary and Miley, is cankle surgery for you?
Is there any part of the human body that doesn't provoke people's worries about whether it's attractively shaped?
You might think ankles are fret-free, but you'd be quite wrong. One person's ankles are another person's "cankles."
For those who notice such things, ankles that don't narrow attractively below the calf are scorned as "cankles" (an ugly combination of the words "calf" and "ankles").
It's a label that's applied to the ankles of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (pictured), who typically wears pant suits that hide the ankles. Celebrities who are affected include actress Mischa Barton, formerly of "The O.C."; singer Miley Cyrus; and Jennifer Aniston, whose character, Rachel, was teased about them in an episode of "Friends."
During last year's presidential campaign, "Saturday Night Live" ran a skit in which Hillary Clinton, played by Amy Poehler, pleaded, "Stop saying I have cankles."
Some plastic surgeons are promising new cures for cankles, using sophisticated forms of liposuction. The procedures aren't widely accepted and can be risky.
"Ankle liposuction for cankles is one of the controversial body areas in which liposuction can be employed. It is debatable as to how likely improvement is versus the risk of skin damage or loss. Ankle liposuction cases tend to swell quite a bit," says plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia of San Clemente.
A French plastic surgeon who claims that he has operated successfully on 36 cankle patients plans to present his findings this week at a meeting of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.
Dr. Denis Delonca of Bordeaux, France, says his procedure removes an average of 3.3 pints of fat through thin tubes (microcannulas) that he inserts into the ankles through small incisions.
The ankles are first injected with a saline and adrenaline solution to reduce bleeding and bruising. That procedure, called tumescent liposuction, is a variation on what's currently the standard method for liposuction, first developed by dermatologic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Klein of San Juan Capistrano.
In an article about Delonca, the British newspaper the Daily Mail quoted Joelle Bechade, one of his patients, who said the operation transformed what had been "legs like posts" that "made my life a misery."
After the operation, "her legs looked horrible, swollen and bruised," she said, but after a month of recovery, "I could finally slip into my favourite heels and I was thrilled with the results, … My ankles seemed resculpted. They looked slim, defined and feminine --just like I'd always wanted."
The Daily Mail published two photos that appeared to be before-and-after shots of a Delonca patient, but they're "phony," says Dr. Christopher Zachary, chairman of the UCI Department of Dermatology. (See photos below.) "You will notice that the 'after' image is taken from a greater distance than the first, a common trick used by some to make the appearance look improved," Zachary says.
Photo: Reported photos of a "cankles" patient before and after surgery. A local doctor says the photos were manipulated (See text.) to exaggerate the effect of the surgery. (Photos courtesy of the Daily Mail.)
Cankle surgery isn't new to dermatologic surgeon Dr. David Sire of Fullerton.
"We have done tumescent liposuction on calves and ankles with microcannulas for awhile," Sire says. "One has to be careful in that area not to be too aggressive with the liposuction."
Some other surgeons use a laser to break up the fat before extracting it, a procedure known as laser liposuction. Klein, Sire, Delonca and others doubt that using a laser improves the outcome.
"The addition of laser light is a new technique that has yet to show marked advantage," Sire says.
"Many physicians are marketing laser-assisted liposuction, a treatment for which there is no FDA approval. These physicians put themselves at risk for prosecution," says Zachary. He says the FDA approved use of a laser to break up fat, but not pairing that procedure with liposuction. "The public should know that dubious promotions of this nature are abundant, and usually result from ignorance. Physicians need to attend high quality national laser meetings to keep up with the facts, and not be bamboozled by aggressive marketing by the laser companies."
Because of the risks of skin damage and swelling in cankle surgery, Di Saia says, "Being a conservative surgeon who likes to have few if any complications, I usually shy away from liposuction in this area."
"If I had to do it," he says, "I would likely have the patient sign a pretty scary-looking consent form before doing it."
Miley Cyrus looked quite cankle-free at the Teen Choice Awards last month. (See picture at right) But she previously addressed the issue of cankles head-on in her book "Miles to Go":
"Cut me some slack. I really am a teenager. When I read online that people think I have 'cankles' [calf-ankles], I kind of had a fit." My dad said, 'That's okay, Honey. All the Cyrus women have cankles. You should be proud.' Thanks, Dad."

Miraculously, you discover that you can take your heart out of your chest without dying. Well, perhaps you're not really alive but you walk, talk, get business done, and nobody suspects that you are actually an ambulatory corpse. You keep your still throbbing heart in a little box in the attic. You go up to visit it from time to time. In the attic's darkness you breathe on your heart, whisper tributes to it, caress it with your eyes. Of course you must keep your visits furtive and few lest anybody suspect how weird you are. Suspicious or not, family and friends come to regard you as dry, ungiving, and...well, rather heartless.
That's the emotional gist of Brokeback Mountain, adapted from Annie Proulx's short story by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana and directed by the versatile Ang Lee. Two rootless young men, Ennis (Heath Ledger) and Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal), dress like cowboys but get summer jobs shepherding near the slopes of a mountain in 1963 Wyoming. Ennis, an emotionally stunted orphan (and probable virgin), doesn't know what he wants out of life, while Jack Twist, a sly tease with the demurely downcast eyes of a Victorian cherub, knows that he wants Ennis (none of this is in the dialogue, but it is superbly conveyed by Lee's staging and choice of close-ups). On a freezing night in a tent, Jack gets what he wants and Ennis discovers he wants the same thing. But the next morning Ennis sternly declares that...

U.S. Rear-View Camera Rule May Cost $18 Million Per Life Saved
Karen Pauly had just buckled her 3-year-old daughter, Lily, in her GMC Acadia sport-utility vehicle. It was an early Sunday morning last April, and Pauly needed to run errands.
She didn't know when she backed out of the garage that her 19-month-old son, Jack, had for the first time just escaped out the door of their farmhouse. Seconds later, she felt a bump. When she stopped to look outside, she saw Jack's limp body. He died a few hours later.
"It's a nightmare," said Pauly, a 33-year-old special education teacher in DeWitt, Iowa, a town of about 5,000 located 90 miles east of Iowa City. "I'll never forget any of those moments."
Pauly doesn't want others to forget, either. She's writing letters to public officials, urging final approval of a rule proposed by President Barack Obama that would require all vehicles sold in the U.S. by 2014 to have backup cameras, a device she thinks might have prevented Jack's death.
The backup camera rule, estimated by the administration to cost as much as $2.7 billion, is now part of the national debate about federal regulations, public safety and jobs.
Lives Versus Costs
An average of 292 people die each year from back-over accidents, most of them the elderly and children. Rear-view cameras would cut that number of deaths in half, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
That means the regulation would cost as much as $18.5 million per life saved.
Critics of the regulation argue that its cost is too high in both dollars spent and jobs lost. The backup camera mandate, which the administration said it will issue by the end of next month, is one of the five most expensive rules under consideration, according to an Aug. 30 letter the president sent to House Republican leaders.
"Congress built flexibility into this law to balance safety and cost, and unfortunately NHTSA has ignored Congress by mandating an expensive, one-size-fits-all solution for rear-view cameras," Gloria Bergquist, an Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. "Automakers still believe that we can have safer roads and affordable cars at the same time."
'Emotional Issue'
Individual automakers such as Ford Motor Co., which has said it would have rear-view cameras available in almost all Ford and Lincoln models by the end of 2011, have not spoken out against the rule, even though it would add cost for car buyers.
The backup cameras would add from $58 to $203 to the cost of a vehicle, depending on the model and whether the vehicle already has a video screen, NHTSA has said.
"It is an incredibly emotional issue," said Jeremy Anwyl, the chief executive officer of auto-market researcher Edmunds.com. "And to stand up and start complaining about costs, as they say in Washington, the optics on that are terrible."
While many automotive vehicle safety technologies provide benefits, there's a cost that has to be considered, Anwyl said.
"No matter how heartless it sounds, you do have to step back a little and say, 'How much do you need?'" he said in a telephone interview. "It's really what you're trading off here is safety versus employment. If the price goes up, people buy fewer cars. There are trade-offs."
Safety of Children
Business groups and lawmakers, including House Speaker John Boehner, have criticized the Obama administration for issuing too many regulations that they say harm economic growth and curtail jobs. Boehner has not publicly opposed the backup camera rule.
The administration points out that the rule was ordered by Congress in a 2008 law signed by President George W. Bush, and that it's working to make the regulation "as cost-effective as possible."
David Strickland, NHTSA administrator and the top U.S. auto-safety regulator, helped write the law when he was a staff member for the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee. It was named for Cameron Gulbransen, a New York 2-year-old who died in 2002 when his father backed over him with an SUV in their driveway.
"Society values children in a much different way than probably any other human impact," Strickland said.
'Make It Mandatory'
Pauly has now traded her 2008 Acadia, which didn't have a backup camera, for a new GMC sport utility vehicle with one. She said there's no way to put a value on Jack's life.
"Now that it's happened to me, I think there's no other way than to make it mandatory," Pauly said in an interview at a park where community members are building a memorial play area for Jack.
An average of 50 children are backed over each week, and two are killed, according to KidsAndCars.org, a Leawood, Kansas-based advocacy group. Seventy percent are backed over by a parent or other close relative, with 1-year-olds being the predominant age, according to the group's data.
Pauly's accident fits the profile. On April 17, Jack was in the house with his dad, Patrick, who didn't know the child had let himself out.
Pauly said she checked her rear-view mirror as she backed out of her detached garage. Her old SUV had a feature in which it beeped when it was in reverse, and it warned the driver if the vehicle was too close to an object.
No Alert
No alert sounded in this case, Pauly said. She didn't see Jack until after she got out of the vehicle.
She recalls screaming and taking a couple steps toward her house, and then moving toward her nearby in-laws' house before someone heard her. She felt "out of body" looking at her injured son, she said. Jack didn't feel alive when she picked him up.
Pauly's mother-in-law, a nurse, gave the boy cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her dining room table until an ambulance arrived. He was taken to the town's medical center and then airlifted to a hospital in Iowa City, where he died after family members had a chance to say goodbye.
"We were home by 2 o'clock without him," Pauly said.
After the accident, the family learned about the pending backup camera rule from a local news report about Jack's death.
"I wanted to do something," Pauly said. "I couldn't let this happen and do nothing."
4,000-Pound Weapon
Janette Fennell, president of KidsAndCars.org, has been advocating for this regulation for years.
"We're talking about children's lives here," Fennell said in an interview. "We should be able to see when we're backing up a 4,000-pound lethal weapon. Would you buy a car when you couldn't see 20-to-30 feet forward?"
Fennell said she's worried by the anti-regulation push of Boehner and others who are criticizing the cost of new rules.
"When you hear people trying to undo everything, it's a little scary," she said.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Officer Tom Donohue in September called on Congress and Obama to halt issuing regulations that would have a "substantial economic impact" until the economy and employment improves.
"Small and large businesses alike have cited regulatory burdens, the excessive litigation that regulations spawn, and fears about what government regulators will do to them next as among the most significant obstacles to new hiring," Donohue wrote in a Sept. 5 letter.
Standard Equipment Already
The Washington-based chamber declined to comment on the backup camera rule beyond the letter, deferring to the Auto Alliance, whose members include Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Toyota Motor Corp.
Backup cameras already come standard on 38 percent of 2011 models of passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. and 45 percent of 2012 models, according to data compiled by Edmunds.com, based in Santa Monica, California.
That means the administration's cost estimate is too high given that some new vehicles already are equipped with the cameras, Fennell said.
The rule may benefit makers of cameras and technology with which to view their images. Gentex Corp., which makes camera-based automotive safety systems including rear-view mirror displays, rose 18 percent in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading, its biggest gain in more than a year, the day the rule was announced.
"The way that the rule is written right now, we have the primary technology that meets all of the different points within the rule, in terms of the brightness, the time to on, the fact that the display turns on and the driver can't turn it off," Connie Hamblin, vice president of investor relations for the Zeeland, Michigan-based company, said in an interview.
Blind Spots
Gentex hasn't said how much revenue it expects to gain from the rule, she said.
Consumer Reports, whose parent organization Consumers Union supported the 2008 law, finds all cars have blind areas behind them.
It has been testing vehicles to determine the size of their blind zones since 2003, said David Champion, auto-testing chief for the Yonkers, New York-based magazine.
"It was surprising with some of the cars how big some of the blind spot or blind zone is," he said in an interview.
Champion cited as an example the blind spot of an average-height woman driving a large pickup truck.
"You can't see anything for 51-feet behind," he said. "If you look at the blind spot behind the vehicle, you could put a whole classroom of school kids behind that and you wouldn't see any of them."
Pauly has a poster showing a group of kids in a vehicle's blind spot that she uses now for educational purposes. She said she hopes that Lily, now 4, will grow up to be a child-safety advocate, too, in memory of her brother.
"How many more kids have to die?" she asked.

Hello everyone.
Im using WP 3.5.2 and a theme called aquablock , I got this project and havent done any customisations myself, the problem is that when i try to set the featured image for the slider, after I select the image I need i click "set featured image" and nothing happens, the window closes.
I have tried:
- Disabling and enabling plugins one by one and all at a time.
- Changing to twenty ten(set featured image works in there)
- Check for JS issues
- Different slider plugins
- Read atleast 50 other posts...
- Update WP(The version was 3.x something before)
Is there anything else I can do? What could be the possible file or lines of causing the featurd image not to work(ie causing the conflict)? At the end it makes no sense for me how a theme could interrupt back-end activities... I would simply write other theme but in this case this is not an option.
