WOODMERE, Ohio -- Woodmere is considering disbanding its police force and hiring next-door neighbor Orange to patrol its community.
Such a move would save the village of fewer than 900 residents at least $750,000 yearly, which is more than a quarter of its annual budget.
Village leaders discussed the idea Monday night with about 40 residents at Corporate College East in Warrensville Heights.
"This is an outsourcing move," Woodmere Village Mayor Charles E. Smith said. "We've been having budget problems the past eight years and are trying to alleviate our city's financial stress. Reduction of state, government and estate taxes is killing us."
Many of the village residents who spoke at the meeting said they did not like the idea. They were concerned primarily with decreased street patrolling and longer response time for an emergency.
Orange police Lt. Patrick O'Callahan said an emergency would get top priority. Response time would be the same, he said.
The proposal is being considered because Smith said the savings to his village would be between $750,000 to $1.2 million a year.
Orange would charge Woodmere $500,000 for around-the-clock police service, Orange Mayor Kathy U. Mulcahy said.
Orange currently has 14 full-time police officers, she said. Adding Woodmere would require Orange to add two more full-time officers.
"It's the right thing to do, and it's what this region needs," Mulcahy said. "People will be watching closely what happens if this contracting does become finalized."
Smith and Mulcahy said they hope to have the contract in place this year. But both mayors cautioned that the deal is not a foregone conclusion.
Woodmere council will discuss the proposal at least two more times before the two communities close the deal.
Smith said the village cannot afford to pay $1.2 million to eight full time and six part-time police officers. The village, situated primarily along Chagrin Boulevard between Interstate 271 and the Beechmont Country Club, has seven times more officers than the FBI average for similar size municipalities, Smith said.
The community has 300 businesses, including Eton Chagrin Boulevard, an upscale shopping area with boutiques and specialty shops. About 20 percent of its residents are retired.
Smith said the Ohio Auditor's Office made the recommendation to outsource police services.
While Smith said he hopes Orange would hire two of Woodmere's officers, Mulcahy said she could not commit to that.
"We'll hire the two best officers we can find," she said.
Mulcahy said outsourcing duties is not new to East Side suburbs. Moreland Hills, South Russell and Hunting Valley don't have their own fire departments, and outsource those duties to Chagrin Falls.
Woodmere has a reputation as being a speed trap. O'Callahan said speed limits would still be enforced, but not as vigorously as Woodmere police do it.
"We'll still enforce the speed limit as posted," Callahan said, "but we won't go out of our way to look for [borderline] speeders."
Added Mulcahy, "We want people to feel welcome visiting the businesses we have in Woodmere Village."

Earlier this month, we reported on the amazing, life-saving effects of omega-3s in prematurely born babies from the Boston area (See "Fish Oil Saves "Premie Babies Livers and Lives).
As we described, premature infantsso-called "premiesand adults with serious intestinal dysfunctions must receive intravenous liquid nutrition called total parenteral nutrition or TPN. However, prolonged use of TPN damages an infants liver, because the omega-6 fatty acid (linoleic acid) used in standard TPN solutionswhich dominates our most common cooking oils as wellcauses fat to accumulate in the liver.
Based on successful experiments in rodents, doctors at Children's Hospital Boston who were trying to save a premie baby on TPN wanted to try using a TPN formula featuring an omega-3-rich fat component (Omegaven®) in place of the standard, omega-6-rich fat component (Intralipid®).
Omegaven wasn't yet approved for use in the U.S. (and still isnt) so they had to request special permission from the Food and Drug Administration and the hospitals institutional review board, which agreed to let them try.
While the childwho is now two years oldstill receives TPN, he no longer needs a liver transplant. So far, 21 patients at Children's Hospital in Boston have received Omegaven as the fat portion of their TPN under FDA compassionate-use exceptions, and most have done equally well. (Two died from unrelated causes, and if they'd been on standard TPN formula, many more would have succumbed to liver failure or required transplants.)
Readers response made our month
In response to our article, we received this gratifying email from reader Alexandra Moffat, which made our day, week, and month!
"My daughter is an RN in an ICN (Intensive Care Neonatal - preemies). I forwarded to her your article about Omegaven and omega-3 use in preventing liver failure in premature infants. She then forwarded it to one of the chief M.D. neonatologists. He was unaware but interested and forwarded the information to other MDs in the ICN: presumably the use of omega 3 will come soon to this teaching hospital in New Hampshire.
"I wanted to thank you for keeping the public aware of news like this and also thought you should know that VC may very likely take some credit for saving lives with public service like this!
We were grateful to receive Ms. Moffats kind letter, but all credit for any positive effects of our article belongs to the intrepid medical team at Children's Hospital Boston. We can only hope that our coverage may do some good. To help ensure that it may, please forward this newsletter or the original story to anyone you know in the medical field: especially anyone who deals with pregnancies and babies!

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Other than Masters champ Larry Mize, the only local product in the field is former Augusta State product Patrick Reed.
The former Jaguar has now officially taken practice swings at Augusta National as a pro.
In total, Reed has only played the National five times. But playing this week as a pro, pales in comparison. This is video of Reed from his first tour win. He's still a Masters rookie and there's going to be butterflies
"You still get nervous stepping out on the tee, whether you're an amateur, playing for the first time when there was no one around, or stepping up on the tee when there's thousands of people around." said Patrick Reed
As far as doubt in his game, Reed confirmed what most of us already knew, he doesn't have any.

About the Book
Timothy Hallinan brings <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Bangkok, Thailand, to life in all its exotic, seedy, dangerous glory in Breathing Water, his third novel of unrelenting suspense to feature expatriate American travel writer Poke Rafferty. A breathtaking thriller in which innocence and evil, power and poverty collide on neon streets and in palatial Asian mansions, Breathing Water is Hallinan's finest work yet, capturing the raw excitement and perilous uncertainty of the Thailand that screams from today's headlines.
Behind every great fortune is a great crime . . .
For American ex-pat writer Poke Rafferty, a late-night poker game delivers an unexpected prize: an "opportunity" to write the biography of Khun Pan, a flamboyant, vulgar, self-made billionaire with a criminal past and far-reaching political ambitions. The win seems like a stroke of luck, but as with so many things in vibrant, seductive, contradictory Bangkok—a city of innocence and evil, power and poverty—the allure of appearances masks something much darker. Within a few hours of folding his cards, Rafferty, his wife, Rose, beloved adopted daughter, Miaow, and best friend, Arthit, an honest Bangkok cop, have become pawns in a political struggle among some of Thailand's richest, most powerful, and most ruthless people.
A hero to the poor and dispossessed, Pan is like a bone in the throats of the beautiful, sophisticated "good" people who own and control every facet of Thailand and want more. There are many who would prefer that a book, especially a sympathetic book, stay unwritten. And there are others who want to expose Pan's darker secrets, information useful in a preemptive strike against this profligate billionaire who can threaten their hold on power—a situation they will go to murderous lengths to prevent.
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't, Rafferty is breathing water and sinking deeper in a sea of intrigue with each passing hour. The trouble multiplies when a missing young street friend of Miaow's reappears, needing Rafferty's help to protect an innocent village girl trapped in a baby-selling ring. Pushed ever closer to the abyss, Rafferty has one chance to get them all out alive. But to succeed, this foreigner must do the impossible—keep a cool Thai heart.
Set in the Thailand of today's headlines—a nation of unrest, political uncertainty, corruption, and tradition, where the future looks dangerously precarious—Breathing Water is the story of a deadly game in which the stakes are enormous and life is literally cheap. The most compelling Poke Rafferty thriller yet, it is a journey that goes beyond the illusion of order and stability into a world where a wrong turn can lead to chaos, and where love and courage may not be enough to hold back the darkness.

14th Annual Abbey Trails draws 266 participants
April 4, 2009: Abbey Trails draws 266 participants
The dreary April weather did not stop 266 participants from showing their support for Conception Seminary College's Wellness program and their own enthusiasm for exercise. 156 walkers participated in the 2-mile walk and 110 runners fought the strong eastern wind in the 5K (3.1 mile) race. Familiar faces of former Abbey Trails competitors, as well as newcomers, filled St. Raphael Hall before the 9:00AM starting time.

Using the Cloud as a Career Development Tool
Photo by Kevin Dooley
This year, I presented at a session at the NTEN NTC designed by Idealware blogger Peter Campbell called Earth to Cloud: When, Why and How to Outsource Applications. The room was packed. I know "the cloud" is a buzz term right now. What particularly surprised me, though, is one of the topics we talked about the most at the session: email.
There was a mix of people in the room from organizations that ranged in size very large (50-100 or more users) to very small (5-10 users). I assumed that the small and medium-sized orgs would all have moved their email to free Google Apps by now. When we asked who was still running an in-house mail server, about half the room raised their hands! Whoah. Why?
What emerged in discussion was that though many techies themselves had been sold on migrating to the cloud, they had come up against logistical and cultural challenges that have kept them from doing it thus far. Peter shared that for him, the technical logistics of migrating about 175 users at Earthjustice is part of what's held him up, but that he is interested in Google Apps and continues to evaluate when and if it might be feasible to make a move. For all sizes of orgs who had not yet moved their email to the cloud, session attendees reported other barriers that included (both valid and exaggerated) fears about data privacy and ownership, and cultural attachments to on-site servers and desktop email apps like Outlook.
In some cases, the overloaded techies just didn't have the time yet to make the shift to the cloud, even though they wanted to. And this was an a-ha moment for me. Yes, outsourcing to the cloud can create efficiencies that give you more time and therefore increase your staff capacity. But in my experience, moving certain things to the cloud was actually a key to my own professional development.
At my last org—where we had 6-10 users at any given time—I first (pre-Apps) moved our email server onto our virtual server with our web site. We had an on-call server admin to help us run it. But even that level of cloud needed a lot of my attention. Spambots would take our server down. V1gara blither blather would annoy my staff, and some of the explicit emails that made it past our filters were actually upsetting. I didn't enjoy babysitting my mail server and worrying about spam. Server management is not the best use of my skill set. It ate time when I could have been learning about and trying new tech things that were a better match for my abilities.
I used the opportunity to move to Google Apps as a way to shape my job responsibilities and get rid of the ones I didn't want. I didn't like having to be the one to draft bulk emails, either; ConstantContact was in the cloud, affordable, and had a UI that most of our staff could use, so I got rid of that task, too. What did I gain? More time to do things that the org really needed and that also interested me—like researching social networking trends and fundraising; planning and strategizing about how best to use tech to get our mission work done; re-building us a newer, better Drupal site. I know I was lucky that I had an Executive Director who gave me the room to run and let put the time in to manage migration to the cloud and the office changes that came with it. Even though it can feel like a Faustian bargain to use the cloud—with a lot of unanswered questions about privacy and ownership—my org's programs gained an innovative edge because we had time to put energy into mission work instead of just infrastructure.
Career development is double edged
A common theme with cloud based solutions is they tend to lower the requirements for IT resources (staff, budget, etc.). When you're a single IT staffer with three full time technology jobs and 25% of the budget you need, cutting that down to two full time jobs and 75% of the budget you need is very attractive.
When you've taken all the NTAP advice of the past decade to heart and have three staffers and a fully funded budget to maintain your on premise solutions, moving to the cloud might mean cutting an IT staff position. Sure saving money is good, but if the IT staffers are making that decision, they might not be as jazzed about letting someone go.
Though techies always need to keep up with technology, this is yet another reason that folks at the board and executive director level also need maintain "management awareness" of the cloud.
Clarification re earthjustice
Johanna - you're going to get me in trouble! :)
I did talk about the challenges of moving an organization like mine -- ten offices, 175+ users (we swell up with interns in the summer), and the type of technology that integrates with MS Exchange -- versus those of a very small org. And I did say that i'd love to see my org move to cloud solutions. But I didn't say I have a plan to move us to Google Apps! My exuberance for the idea, which smaller and/or less complex organizations can do, might have confused things. But I am certainly advocating at work for cloud solutions, and waiting to see if Microsoft-compatible options grow up to an extent where we could take advantage of them. And I'm taking on the bigger challenge of educating key constituents of my organization as to the benefits, as many of them, as we saw at the conference, still live in the "at my office - safe; in the cloud - at risk" mindset.
My take, as you know, is that we're at risk of hacking everywhere. And we're at risk of bad vendor contracts everywhere. And the cloud providers, once well-vetted for their backup and business continuity plans (as in, what happens to our data if they go under) might offer serious enough safeguards (redundancy/24/7 maintenance/more security expertise) to make them a clear choice.

Full review + Q&A with Zuke's!,
This review is from: Zuke's Mini Naturals Dog Treats, Roasted Chicken Recipe, 16-Ounce (Misc.)--------------------------------------------
My wife and I purchased these treats one day when we had run out of our normal treats. They are small, our dogs love them, and are much better quality than many commonly available store brands. Still, I had some questions about the ingredients, so I sent an email over to the Zuke's customer service address, and got a very nice response, pasted below.
You may be asking already, "if your dogs love them and they're good quality, why four stars?". Because in our household, "good" quality and "best" quality are two very different things, and in the (sometimes) murky world of meat grading the difference can actually mean health or illness and even life or death. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but after seeing the DOZENS of recalls on pet food and treats over the past few years, my wife and I decided (with the help of a top Amazon... Read more

Salmon Dog Treats,
Mini Naturals - 1 pound - Salmon Flavored
Great product for training dogs! I use them all the time for training (walking on a lead, sitting, fetching). They are high in flavor so even with our 7 month Golden Retriever, treats cut in half work well for a reward. Unlike dog kibble or other treats, these are quickly digested so that your dog will not be gagging on them as he/she works on the next behavior. To keep fresh, keep bag tightly closed and put a portion of the cut treats in a resealable sandwich bag. If they do get exposed to air and dry out, a small portion of a moistened paper towel in the bag will restore them to original texture.

La Nortena (northampton, MA, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zuke's Mini Naturals Dog Treats, Roasted Chicken Recipe, 16-Ounce (Misc.)
When I purchased my puppy, I did a lot of research to find the perfect healthy food and treats for him to ensure my dog has the best start in life. Zuke's has been a staple in our treat cupboard his whole life but no more! Zuke's has sold out to Nestle Purina who manufactures not just garbage food for pets but has also been linked to many of the deaths from poorly sourced ingredients. It is a damn shame this excellent company is glad to have been bought out by a megalithic corporation who will cut corners. Not in my pup's tummy. I will now be switching to Cloud Star's products including their great Tricky Trainers. trusts me to only give him the best and he deserves it.

Post subject: 6 weeks tomorrow - spotting and cramping :-(
I'm so worried- I am six weeks tomorrow with baby number 2. I woke up this morning and had some pale pink spotting after I had been to the toilet. It's now a brownish colour and I am having period like cramping. I have spoken to the doctor and they have booked me in for a scan on Monday (the earliest they could see me!) I have done a pregnancy test and it came up positive straight away. If I was having a mc would it still be positive? I havent had any sickness yet with this pregnancy but when I was pregnant with my son I was really sick. I'm worried this could mean the pregnancy is not very stong. Any advice??
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2014 9:53 pm
Post subject:
Brown discharge is quite common in very early pregnancy and so is cramping so even though it is scary it isn't uncommon try and rest as much as you can until your scan I bled during pregnancy when I'd been overdoing things xx

Thank you for your reply.
I keep trying to tell myself it could be totally normal and the scan will all be fine but I can't help but worry. I've just done a digital cb test and it still said 'pregnant 1-2 weeks' which is what it said last Tuesday. If I was still pregnant I'd have thought it would have gone up to 2-3 weeks. I know there's nothing I can do but it's gonna be a long few days

Fenrir Sightings
- Thorwald's Cross 1000 - 1200
It may be just a rock, but it tells a story. Etched on one side is Odin with his foot in a wolf's mouth. On the other, Christ defeats Satan. These parallel Christian and Pagan stories make this stone "syncretic"—a combination of traditions from both religions.
- Poetic Edda 1100 - 1200
Fenrir's first appearance in this collection of anonymous Old Icelandic poems comes at the end—the end of the world, that is. A wise woman called the Völuspá predicts that Fenrir will kill Odin during Ragnarök. Sorry, Odin.
- Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson 1220
The prophecies that Fenrir will wreak havoc during Ragnarök cause him lots of trouble as a young'un. The gods decide to chain him up, but he's too smart for them. It takes three fetters and Týr's loss of a hand before they finally get the job done. It still doesn't work, though: Fenrir still manages to kill Odin and to produce wolf-pups who swallow the sun and moon. What can we say? Destructiveness runs in the family.
- "Om Fenrisulven og Tyr" by Adam Goetlob Oehlenschlager 1819
This lyric poem about the binding of Fenrir was written by a guy who was kind of a big deal in Danish Romanticism—he was even crowned the "King of Nordic Poetry" in 1829. So we were surprised that we weren't able to find an English translation. (If you find one, let us know.) Anybody speak Danish?
- Journey into Mystery #114 & ff (Marvel Comics Universe) 1965
The comic-book version of Fenrir is kind of like a cross between a werewolf and a vampire. He can take on the human appearance of his last victim, and he grows stronger as he eats more people. That's a good thing, because Fenrir has more enemies here, including Beta Ray Bill and the Incredible Hulk.
- Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Card Game 1999
Fenrir has red eyes and long claws in his incarnation as a playing card. In this dueling game, he's an "effect monster," meaning that playing with him makes something bad happen to your opponent. We're guessing the one-handed Týr would agree.
- Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children 2005
Fenrir is the name of a gray wolf that follows the hero around in this CGI film version of the popular role-playing game. But this wolf seems to be just an ordinary wolf, or maybe, as fans claim on the wiki, a symbol of the hero's "loneliness and his guilt for the deaths of two of his greatest friends" (source.)

You never encrypt large amounts of data directly with RSA (or other
public-key algorithms) -- they are far too slow. You encrypt bulk data
with a symmetric cipher, then encrypt the symmetric key with RSA.

Dr. Thomas L. Holzer is a research geologist with the Earthquake Hazards Team of U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California. He also is a consulting associate professor with joint appointments in the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Geological and Environmental Sciences at Stanford University. He received his B.S.E. in geological engineering from Princeton University in 1965 and his M.S. in hydrology in 1966 and Ph.D. in geology in 1970 from Stanford University. His research specialty is engineering geology.
His current research is focused on improving both methodologies for regional mapping of earthquake-induced liquefaction hazard and the understanding of the physics of liquefaction. He is applying the liquefaction potential index (LPI) to develop probabilities of liquefaction for different types of geologic units. The geologic units are characterized by extensive cone penetration testing (CPT). Prototype maps have been prepared for the greater Oakland, California area and Northern Santa Clara County, California. Extensive characterization of geologic units is being conducted in the central and eastern United States. Prior to his current research on liquefaction, he focused on land subsidence and associated earth fissures and surface faulting caused by the pumping of ground water.
Dr. Holzer has conducted many post-earthquake investigations, both foreign and domestic, and recently chaired the committee that wrote the plan to coordinate post-earthquake investigations of the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP).

October 16, 2012) – La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company (OTCQB: LJPC) (the "Company" and "La Jolla") announced today that researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered the mechanism by which the Company's lead drug candidate, GCS-100, makes lymphoma cells more responsive to chemotherapy. The findings were published in the online edition of Blood, October 12, 2012, with printed publication to follow.
The study "Galectin-3 binds to CD45 on diffuse large B cell lymphoma cells to regulate susceptibility to cell death" was conducted by Dr. Linda G. Baum and her colleagues at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. It focused on diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most commonly diagnosed form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). The researchers were interested in finding out the mechanism by which these tumor cells can evade the action of chemotherapy agents.
Conclusions and Future Directions - Put simply, I believe that fibrosis, specifically kidney fibrosis, is a very important therapeutic area with a lot of potential for investors. While larger players such as INTM and VRTX are already on investors' radar with large market capitalizations, smaller, promising companies such as LJPC or GALT offer the potential for outsized rewards through increases in share price and M&A events. While these types of binary events are quite common and risky in biotech, it appears LJPC has an above average chance of success.

There exist instances when an individual may act under the pretense of acting under the law. However, this may not be the case. Thus, when it is discovered that an individual has been merely using the law in order to commit an action, he or she is said to have colored the law. Thus, the color of law refers to these instances and usually infers an abuse of legal authority.
Color of law refers to the many instances of using law or the appearance of legal power in activities that may actually be in opposition to the law, therefore a violation of the law. The most essential reference of the color of law is that of any official law enforcement activity. However, this reference can take on a negative connotation when law enforcement officials make use of their authority to abuse their position. For example, a police officer may make an arrest without any probable cause. When this occurs, the police officer has violated the law by abusing the authority given to him and the rights of the person he or she has arrested. Thus, the police officer is said to have acted under the color of law.
The United States Supreme Court has clearly defined what constitutes a color of law. It has been stated that any government agency or official who willfully deprives or conspires to deprive any entity of his or her rights by using the authority given to them, such an agency or officer is guilty of color of law.

There was a small pro-coal rally held in Washington, DC on Monday and the National Wildlife Federation was able to catch snippets of one of the pro-coal keeners talking to the media. The rally was organized by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) as a counter to the 2,000 youth who held a massive rally demanding action on climate change on the same day.
Word on the street is that the 20 or so who rallied in support of coal were mainly CEI staffers, in fact when one of the coal supporters was asked why they were there, his response was, "I don't know I'm just an intern."
The woman in the video below is Ann McElhinney, a British filmaker touting her most recent work "Not Evil Just Wrong."
To give you an idea where McElhiney is coming from, her last film project was called "Mine Your Own Business" which according to the Wikipedia entry "investigate[d] controversial proposed mining projects in impoverished villages." The film, "portrays western environmentalists as wealthy elites who are working counter to the interests of the local people."
The pro-mining film was financed by a Canadian mining company Gabriel Resources Ltd., which is the same foreign corporation that at the time was looking to develop Roşia Montană as an open pit gold mine.
So a leap from pro-mining to pro-coal to arguing that CO2 is good for us wasn't a hard one for Ms. McElhinney.
Here's a partial transcript:
"I've been around this country making our film and people are driving their white cars… snow white, so if you look at this idea of black stuff coming out, it's not. C02 is not dangerous. C02 is what you push into greenhouses to make things grow this is a good thing, you know."
And here's the video:
"I'm just an intern"
in fact when one of the coal supporters was asked why they were there, his response was, "I don't know I'm just an intern."
Hilarity. I wonder how many "I'm just an intern" folks will be at the upcoming Heartland "2009 International Conference on Climate Change"? Someone should really find out and get them on tape!

So is water good for you...
A documentary on CBC this evening showed how scientists are modelling what may happen when there is a big earthquake and tsunami on the west coast of North America. They can figure out the best places to head for if a tsunami is coming, and help people prepare evacuation plans for that eventuality.
I had a vision of the sensible people quickly and calmly heading for high ground, while the denialists sit on the beach with their fingers in their ears shouting "It's not coming! It's not happening! You can't trust the models!" and "Anyway, water is good for us!" and "Glug glug!"

CO2 can be a lifesaver in a fire extinguisher
It is true that CO2 can be a lifesaver - in a fire extinguisher.
But the idea that despite what the science says, pumping an excess of ~30 gigatonnes of fossil-CO2 into the atmosphere every year is a good idea, is a LIE.

The Greenhouse quote is a deliberate ploy!
The quote about pumping CO2 into greenhouses is a deliberate attempt to confuse the scientifically ignorant public about the greenhouse effect. They hear the words 'greenhouse', 'CO2' and 'good'; and jump to the wrong conclusion.
Nothing these creeps ever says is an accident. It's all carefully worked-out and scripted in advance.

The Greenhouse quote is a deliberate ploy!
"The goal of Celebrate Coal! is to publicize the colossal benefits of coal-fired power and the need for access to affordable energy," said Myron Ebell, CEI Director of Energy and Global Warming Policy. "If the anti-coal zealots are allowed to prevail politically, electric rates will skyrocket for most Americans and many jobs will be lost in energy-intensive industries as a result of higher power prices."
"Raising energy costs kills," added CEI Senior Fellow Iain Murray. "According to a Johns Hopkins study, replacing ¾ of US coal-based energy with higher priced energy would lead to 150,000 extra premature deaths annually in the US alone."
It may be right...
I have been thinking the same thing. They say that CO2 is a global warming gas yet plants that MAKE o2 need this to survive.
So how can it be a poison?
Yes if you fill up a room with CO2 you WILL die BUT that it because you suffocate from no O2. Not because CO2 is a poison.

Have you heard of Research?
Again and again, people make posts here which bear no resemblance to the truth. Some are repeat offenders [e.g: paul s, geologist, gary (gone but not forgotten and probably using a new I.D.)] This is despite evident access to a computer with internet access and the existence of search engines like Altavista, Google, Yahoo, & etc. Often this is clearly Troll behaviour, made with a deliberate intent to derail the thread.
Are you people lazy and incredibly dense, or do you think we are fools? I suspected you were wrong, so I performed a simple search taking only minutes to read some 'hits'.
'CO2 level dangerous humans', revealed this:
Carbon Dioxide as a Fire Suppressant: Examining the Risks
[From the EPA, so it should be reliable!]
In APPENDIX B - 'Overview of Acute Health Effects
Appendix B presents an overview of the acute health effects associated with carbon dioxide.
Part I discusses the dangerous, lethal effects of carbon dioxide at high exposure concentrations. The minimum design concentration of carbon dioxide for a total flooding system is 34 percent (340,000 ppm). When used at this design concentration,carbon dioxide is lethal.
Part II discusses the potentially beneficial effects of carbon dioxide at low exposure concentrations and the use of added carbon dioxide in specialized flooding systems using inert gases…,' [my emphasis]
Even the slightest superficial research rapidly shows that you are entirely wrong.
CO2 is lethal in sufficient concentration. The lethal effects of CO2 occur when sufficient O2 remains available. It is not mere suffocation.
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. -Bertrand Russell
This was a rush post. With trickier subjects, much more research may be necessary to ensure that the source and information is reliable. In this case, I didn't bother to look further than the EPA, because it confirmed what I already believed to be true.
the woman is quite obviously
the woman is quite obviously an idiot, and scientifically illiterate to boot. the point is not whether or not carbon dioxide is 'poisonous', but the cumulative effect of the emissions on the earths climate. also, she is irish , and not british.

The newest Zu loudspeaker is the Omen. I don't know much about it. The product literature says: "Omen is the right loudspeaker for every concert fanatic, music junky, skater fool, and snowboarding dirtbag; splitting your cash between your lifestyle outside and your lifestyle inside just got a whole lot louder!" So, Zu has a specific audience in mind. At just $999/pair it is also Zu's most affordable speaker.

A Valediction Forbidding Mourning
by John Donne
Stanza 7 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 25-26
If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two;
- Once again, Donne attempts to cut off any and all counter-arguments, just in case some jerk wants to bring up the fact that, as nice as it is to talk about being "one" and everything, they still are literally two people who are going to be separated by hundreds of miles. So the beginning of this line concedes a little bit: "Fine. We're two. But if we are two…"
- He immediately whips up a new metaphor, one as weird as any we've seen yet. Nothing says romance like mathematical equipment, right? In this case, Donne begins to draw comparisons between he and his wife and the two legs of a compass.
- The metaphor works with Donne's theology well enough. Even though the legs of the compass are separate parts, they have been joined together permanently and are useless apart from their partner.
- The repetition of the word two in these two lines is to slowly begin to redefine the term. You've heard politicians subtly shift the meanings of words to suit their argument. Same thing's happening here. He admits that he and his wife are two, but then redefines two to mean what he wants.
Lines 27-28
Thy soul, the fix'd foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if th' other do.
- We are reminded here that this is a poem written from Donne to his wife. It's easy to forget because the argument becomes so convoluted, but the "thy" brings us back to his audience.
- Donne's wife is "the fix'd foot" of the compass, meaning the one that stays planted in the center of the circle.
- Donne begins to establish the quality he finds so vital in his wife—her constancy. She is not only the fixed foot, but she "makes no show to move" until he (the other foot) does. She is completely faithful to him and supports him in whatever he does.
- It's easy to read this in the 21st century and say that this is Donne emphasizing his wife's need to stay at home and depend on him for everything, and we guess that's true enough. But try to remember that, given their age and culture, this is still an impassioned praise of a woman's love.

In case you were wondering how Victoria Beckham and the rest of the Beckham household are celebrating Christmas this year—here's a sneak peek at what Queen VB has been up to in the run up to the holidays.
She got a pink tree.
Here she is putting handbags underneath the tree (because who doesn't love a Victoria Beckham handbag!):
And just in case you couldn't tell from the first photo what the Victoria Beckham pink tree topper is this year? Why, it's a miniature angel Victoria, of course!
So good. The end.
OK, OK. This whole pink tree stunt, I think it's part of the Victoria Beckham at Liberty holiday campaign. Because the next video she posted was of this cute cat in her favorite yellow handbag.

Since 2006, Nashville, TN natives Lady Antebellum have been making a
steady climb to the top of the country ranks and tonight at Live on
Letterman, the band showed the world why their name always finds a
place at the top of the country charts.
Lady Antebellum first signed to Capitol records in 2007 and have since garnered over 45 music awards and released four studio albums - three of which have went platinum. The release of the bands last album, 2011's "Own The Night" propelled the band to new heights; becoming the largest start for any country release since Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" in 2010 and winning Best Country Album at the 54th Grammy Awards.
The bands new album, "Golden", looks to build on the success of "Own The Night" - and then some. The album was recorded over the last year by producer Paul Worley and looks to capture more of a live feel - with the band bringing in more studio musicians for live takes than ever before. The albums lead single, 'Downtown', peaked at number two on the Hot Country Songs chart and at number one on US Country Airplay.
In the pre-show interview, Lady Antebellum spoke on the magic of the Grammys and also talked about the deluxe version of their new album, "Golden". The band opened up about the reissue, saying that they grew eager to share what they had been working on in the studio immediately with fans and releasing a deluxe reissue of "Golden" allowed them to do just that.
After the interview, the trio was poised to hit the historic Ed Sullivan Theatre stage. Lady A. walked through a sea of fans and were greeted with a boisterous ovation just before the group opened up the show with the first single off "Golden" entitled, 'Downtown'. The group then brought it back to 2010's "Need You Now" for a heavenly rendition of 'Our Kind of Love'.
Lady A. then treated fans to another new song off the deluxe edition of "Golden" entitled 'Compass' before giving them a dose of throwbacks and a cover that included 'Just A Kiss', 'American Honey', 'I Run To You', and Avicii's 'Wake Me Up'.
The Nashville trio then went back to new material for a performance of 'And The Radio Played' before following up with their smash hit 'Need You Now' off the groups 2010 album of the same name.
Before closing out the show, lead singer Hillary Scott gave the crowd a long look and extended thank you and then cued her band into their 2011 mega-hit 'We Owned The Night'. Fans sang along to every word at The Ed Sullivan Theatre as a brisk Nashville night in New York City came to a close.

In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.
Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
Contributed by: Zaady
A man will teach his wife what is needed to arouse his desires. And there is no reason for a woman to know any more than what her husband is prepared to teach her. If she gets married knowing far too much about what she wants and doesn't want then she will be ready to find fault with her husband.
Barbara Cartland (1901 -)
Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase.
You'll come back, because yours is an error of knowledge, not a moral failure, not an act of surrender to evil, but only the last act of being victim to your own virtue. We'll wait for you and when you come back, you will have discovered that there need never be any conflict among your desires, nor so tragic a clash of values as the one you've borne so well.
Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982)
Source: (Atlas 744)
So long as men desire to live together, no man may initiate the use of physical force against others. . . . When a man attempts to deal with me by force, I answer him by force. It is only as retaliation that force may be used and only against the man who starts its use. No, I do not share his evil or sink to his concept of morality: I merely grant him his choice, destruction, the only destruction he had the right to choose: his own.
Why is it immoral for you to desire, but moral for others to do so? Why is it immoral to produce a value and keep it, but moral to give it away? And if it is not moral for you to keep a value, why is it moral for others to accept it? If you are selfless and virtuous when you give it, are they not selfish and vicious when they take it?

Don't consider our interests or desires. You have no duty to anyone but yourself.
Source: (Atlas 740)
A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.
That woman and all those like her keep evading the thoughts which they know to be good. You keep pushing out of your mind the thoughts which you believe to be evil. They do it, because they want to avoid effort. You do it, because you won't permit yourself to consider anything that would spare you. They indulge their emotions at any cost. You sacrifice your emotions as the first cost of any problem. They are willing to bear nothing. You are willing to bear anything. They keep evading responsibility. You keep assuming it. But don't you see that the essential error is the same? Any refusal to recognize reality, for any reason whatever, has disastrous consequences. There are no evil thoughts except one: the refusal to think. Don't ignore your own desires. Don't sacrifice them. Examine their cause. There is a limit to how much you should have to bear.
Source: (Atlas 389)
Did it ever occur to you, that there is no conflict of interests among men, neither in business nor in trade nor in their most personal desires - if they omit the irrational from their view of the possible and destruction from their view of the practical? There is no conflict, and no call for sacrifice, and no man is a threat to the aims of another - if men understand that reality is an absolute not to be faked, that lies do not work, that the unearned cannot be had, that the undeserved cannot be given, that the destruction of a value which is, will not bring value to that which isn't.
