For all those fans out their that aren't sure what they meant by 'God of War 3 [being] the best looking game on the PS3 to date', here's a little insight for you. We all know that the game isn't as graphically detailed, I mean this in the lightest way, as Killzone 2, but what God of War 3 does right, apparently, is large scale parts.
If you take note of the ending to the recently released God of War 3 trailer, you tasted just a little part of the 'large scale' environments in the game, which was basically the Titans attacking Mount. Olympus. As you can see, they are moving and in the recent interviews for the game it was stated that Kratos would be able to interact with these environments – the moving Titans.
Anyway, to interact with these environments you are going to need something powerful, something that can handle the 'large scale' needed for this. So… that is why God of War 3 is a visual 'masterpiece' it's because it can handle these 'large scale' interactions.

The man who would beat King
PalmBeachPost.com reports today:
Randall Terry, the anti-abortion activist who was a prominent voice in the losing battle to keep Terri Schiavo alive, said Tuesday he's going ahead with a Republican primary challenge of state Sen. Jim King in northeast Florida.
King drew the ire of social conservatives this year when he and eight other Republican senators blocked legislation that aimed to reconnect Schiavo's feeding tube….
Terry founded the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue in the 1980s but has since parted ways with the organization. He has lived in Ponte Vedra Beach since 2003.

US Army Unveils Massive Solar Powered Energy System
From Federal News Radio
By Susan Montoya Bryan
The U.S. Army dedicated its largest solar energy-producing system on Wednesday at White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico.
The $16.8 million array includes nearly 15,500 sun-tracking solar panels spread across 42 acres. It will be capable of producing 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year _ enough to meet about 10 percent of the need of the missile range.
With abundant sunshine, New Mexico made an ideal site for the project, said Garrison Commander Col. Leo Pullar, one of the officials who attended the ceremony.
"This project illustrates the U.S. Army's commitment to going green, our focus on operating on net zero energy, and doing what we can to help protect the environment," Pullar said in a statement.
Other electricity generating stations fueled by renewable resources have been developed on a handful of Army installations around the country. The projects included solar and wind systems at Arizona's Fort Huachuca and biomass systems at Fort Stewart in Georgia and the Red River Army Depot in Texas.

Upcoming Programs
Giving a Human Face to Natural Disasters
Living and working in the inner city as I do, I am confronted daily with life's triumphs and tragedies. When I hear of poverty in other parts of the globe or listen to stories of violence, I don't necessarily have to picture some faraway land. Poverty is all around me as I walk the streets. Daily, we have incidents of violence. I can see families who've lost loved ones to gun violence, drugs, sexual oppression.
I also see faces marked with the signs of accomplishment in the face of great odds, young people determined to succeed, seniors who have made a life for themselves and who celebrate goodness and wisdom. Those are some of the faces of my neighborhood.
But when a great natural disaster occurs, like January's earthquake in Haiti, I confess that I have no personal experience. I can't begin to picture what it must have been like. Thanks to the media, I do have images. But, unable to travel to Haiti myself, I can only settle for second-hand stories.
That's why I was glad to welcome Eddyles Jacinthe to my parish this summer. He is from Haiti, and came here to visit friends for a couple of months. Our parish got to meet him—and to put a face on the story of the earthquake. Eddyles, a former seminarian and teacher, agreed to speak with me after Mass, in a conversation included in our
program on Haiti's recovery. He has hope, this young man, and it shines through in his face. I wish radio could portray that—but I will settle for sharing with our listeners his dreams for development in his homeland.
Radio is one of the media at our disposal. Fortunately, we can—and will—post Eddyles' photo on our Facebook page. As we develop our new Franciscan Media Web site, we'll work harder to bring you voices
faces that help us to portray the breadth and depth of our faith experience in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus. We invite you to join us on that exciting adventure!

After I got married, pretty much everyone started designing butterfly-topped wedding dresses. Monique Lhullier did this one in 2010, then Elizabeth Fillmore and BHLDN respectively came out with the styles below.
It's good that these dresses were created long after my wedding, because I really, really would have wanted one—probably the Monique—and a dress with that much detail work (all those itty-bitty wings!) would be majorly expensive. So naturally when I stumbled across this pic on Instagram, my heart skipped a beat.
That pic lead me to the people behind the Cricut Explore—more on that later—who shared a better photo of the frock.
And get this: Their designer made the dress and added all that embellishment (including the adorbs little collar necklace!) for around $100! I don't recommend the average bride goes around stitching her own wedding dress. (Wedding planning is stressful enough!) But I got how-to information from the people at Cricut, and it seems it would be SUPER-easy to DIY the butterflies and attach them yourself. (Or work with a seamstress, if DIY isn't your thing.) The butterflies on the dress above were made from paper, but if you wanted wearable bugs that wouldn't tear, the Cricut Explore (which was used to make the butterflies) can cut fabric and even leather. (You would spray the fabric with stiffener ahead of time so the butterflies wouldn't be floppy.)
Designer Desiree Moss cut her 180 butterflies from about 20 pieces gold paper using the Cricut Explore then used ModPodge to attach them to the bodice and hot glue to position the wings. She then glued 3D butterflies down the skirt, positioning some underneath the layers of tulle.
(If you were making b-flies for your wedding dress, like I said, I'd stitch them on or hire a seamstress to do it.)
To make the necklace, Desiree cut the base using the Cricut Explore and wool felt, then glued a ribbon on either side and embellished it with beads "to make it look glitzy." That I think even a bride with limited DIY skills could handle. It would be super-cute to make matching necklaces for your bridesmaids!
And instead of stitching the dress yourself, you could start with a simple dress—like this Wtoo bridesmaid dress—which would only set you back a couple hundred dollars.
Would you DIY any part of your wedding dress? Or are you leaving that to the pros?

If your organization is like nearly every other one I've talked to in the past 20+ years, you have a spaghetti chart of integration connections between all the siloed applications that run your business. Your customer is fractured across five applications. Your fulfillment process is broken across eight applications.

Various human rights groups, journalists, and scholars have signed a letter opposing East Timor's proposed media law which was recently approved by the Parliament. One of the issues they cited is the broad powers given to the Press Council:
…we are concerned that the Press Council with legal authority, funding and members chosen by political officials and commercial media, should not have the power (under Articles 43 and 44) to prevent anyone from exercising his or her freedom of expression.
They added that the 'defective law' is not the solution to the problems besetting the media sector:
We believe that there is no urgency for Timor-Leste to create a press law, especially a defective one like this, which will reverse our society's advances toward using social and other media to exchange ideas without limitation. We recognize that journalists' capacity, misinformation and lack of experience sometimes make people unhappy with published articles, but state regulation is not the solution.

Karnieli, A, Kaufman, YJ, Remer, L, Wald, A (2001). AFRI - aerosol free vegetation index. REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT, 77(1), 10-21.
AbstractAircraft measurements using a field spectrometer over variety of ground surfaces in Israel reveals that under clear sky conditions the shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectral bands around 1.6 and 2.1 mum are highly correlated with the visible-blue, green, and red- spectral bands. Empirical linear relationships, such as rho (0.469) = 0.25(rho2.1); rho (0.555) = 0.33(rho2.1); rho (0.645) = 0.5(rho2.1); and rho (0.645) = 0.66(rho1.6), were found to be statistically significant and consistent with previous findings. Based on the above relationships, a modified vegetation index (VI) is proposed and named Aerosol Free Vegetation Index (AFRI). Two versions of this VI are formulated as: AFRI(1.6) = (rho (NIR) - 0 66 rho (1.6))/(rho (NIR) + 0.66 rho (1.6)) and AFRI(2.1) = (rho (NIR) - 0.5 rho (2.1))/(rho (NIR) + 0.5 rho (2.1)). It is shown that under clear sky conditions, the AFRIs (and especially AFRI(2.1)) closely resemble the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and their values are almost identical. The advantage of the derived AFRIs, based on the ability of the SWIR bands is to penetrate the atmospheric column even when aerosols such as smoke or sulfates exist. Consequently, these indices have a major application in assessing vegetation in the presence of smoke, anthropogenic pollution, or volcanic plumes. This was demonstrated by applying the AFRI for a biomass burned forest in Brazil. Limited success of these indices is expected in case of dust due to presence of larger particles that are of similar size to the wavelength and therefore not transparent at 2.1 mum. The AFRIs can be implemented to data from any sensor that has the SWIR bands. Currently the most commonly used of such instruments are the Landsat-Thematic Mapper (TM) and Advanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS), Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection (ASTER), and Japanese Earth Resources Satellite-Optical System (JERS-OPS). Although the AFRI(2.1) was demonstrated to perform better than the AFRI(1.6), the latter still can be used for the same application in conjunction with instruments that have onboard only the 1.6-mum band, such as Systeme Probatoire d'Observation del la Terre (SPOT4)-VEGETATION, Indian Remote Sensing (IRS-IC/D), and Resource-21.

Selling a Second Novel Brings Happiness, Followed By 'Sophomore Curse' Panic
Just over a year ago, after selling my second novel, Skinny, I sent some friends a text message: "My book sold! Come celebrate!"
We began at 5 p.m. One friend who couldn't make it called the bar and bought us a bottle of Veuve. Someone ordered shots. So did someone else. I think someone else did, too.
"You must be so excited!" one friend said, hugging me.
Oh, yes! I'd sold a book. I'd thrown myself a party. I was very, very drunk.
The next morning, I woke to a jackhammer inside my skull. Through the window, snow was falling in the glare of the flat light, and I willed it to stick, to pile up past the windows of my apartment, to bury my building, the city, the world.
This wasn't just hangover shame talking: I did not want this book to come out. For one thing, it was semi-autobiographical, based on a summer I'd spent working undercover as a counselor at a weight-loss camp. I'd told secrets in these pages. My characters were based on real people, one a composite of two ex-boyfriends. That this book would be available to the public felt unspeakable.
A few years ago, when my first novel sold, I was sufficiently elated that the thing was getting published, amazed to hear people discuss my characters as if they knew my imaginary friends. My editor sent me four potential covers and told me to choose one. Choose one? I loved them all. But now, no longer a new jack, in addition to my dread of exposure, I had fresh publishing-industry stresses to consider: the curse of the sophomore effort, the expectation of consistent improvement, the whole three-strikes-you're-out thing.
Or was it two strikes?
As the months until publication ticked by, my anxiety became something tender, like a bruise. Any added pressure made me whimper. Many days, writing was out of the question. How could I write when I had my career to obsess about? In June, an article in the New York Times Sunday Book Review bore down like a thumb: in response to the New Yorker's 20 Under 40 issue, Sam Tanenhaus argued that it was silly to call the under-40s rising stars. Writers weren't wine. They got worse with age. Look at Tolstoy. Joyce. Proust. "Norman Mailer was only 25 when 'The Naked and the Dead,' his classic, and enormous, war novel came out," Tanenhaus wrote.
I was almost thirty-one. I would never be a young Norman Mailer, I thought, an epiphany that registered, absurdly, as panic. The decline Tanenhaus predicted for me looked steep and terrifying.
To the heart, fear and excitement are the same. All year, as my heart thumped, my terror of exposure contained the thrill of exhibitionism, the intoxicating prospect of everyone looking at me, even if they glared or sneered. By the same token, the quick highs of external validation—selling a second novel, my friends' enthusiasm, my publisher's plans for my book tour—were as intense as they were discomfiting. The dark side of external validation is its instability. Because praise is not only ephemeral, but subjective, in the end, all a writer can trust is the writing high—the quickened pulse, the tunnel vision; that private, dependable trance.
Between my book deal and publication, I succumbed to anxiety, succumbed to it again, allowed it to lay me flat, and finally accepted that the act of writing—not advances, not sales, not what other people thought—was the only safe source of excitement.
And then I got back to work.
A few months ago, my six-year-old niece asked me if I had a job.
"I do," I said.
"What is it?"
"I write books."
"With words or pictures?"
She curled her lip like a critic.
"And guess what?" I said. "I'll have a new book soon and I'll read aloud from it at a bookstore. Would you like to come watch?"
I had a brief fantasy of my niece being so impacted by my reading, she would dream of becoming a writer herself one day. But for no discernable reason, she lost interest in me then, as she sometimes does. "Okay," she said, wandering out of the room. "Well, maybe," she called over her shoulder. "But I might be busy."

The summary below is from the full report titled "Glycemic Effects of Postmenopausal Hormone Therapy: The Heart and Estrogen/progestin Replacement Study. A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial." It is in the 7 January 2003 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 138, pages 1-9). The authors are AM Kanaya, D Herrington, E Vittinghoff, F Lin, D Grady, V Bittner, JA Cauley, and E Barrett-Connor.
After menopause, the ovaries stop making the hormones estrogen and progesterone. For some women, the decrease in hormone levels causes hot flashes and other uncomfortable symptoms. Postmenopausal hormone therapy consists of taking estrogen with or without progesterone to reduce the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause. A recent study showed that postmenopausal hormone therapy also reduces colorectal cancer and osteoporosis but increases heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer. Ongoing studies are examining other risks and benefits of hormone therapy. Some previous studies suggest that women taking hormone replacement therapy have better blood sugar levels than women not taking it. Blood sugar is important in postmenopausal women because of its relationship to type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a common disease that interferes with the body's ability to use and store energy from food and leads to high blood sugar levels. Over time, high blood sugar levels can lead to blindness, kidney failure, nerve damage, and possibly heart disease.
To see whether postmenopausal hormone therapy reduces blood sugar levels and incidence of type 2 diabetes.
2763 women with heart disease who were participating in a study of hormone therapy and heart disease.
The researchers assigned the study participants to take either hormone therapy or placebo pills that looked exactly like the hormones but contained no active ingredients. The researchers measured fasting blood sugar levels in women at the start of the study, after 1 year, and at the end of the study (an average of 4 years for most women). They compared the numbers of women who developed high blood sugar levels or diabetes in each of the groups. The researchers excluded women who already had diabetes or high blood sugar levels at the beginning of the study.
Blood sugar levels increased in the women taking placebo but did not change in the women taking hormone therapy. Of the women taking hormones, 6.2% developed diabetes compared with 9.5% taking placebo. The researchers estimated that one case of diabetes could be prevented for every 30 women who take hormone replacement therapy for 4 years.
The women in this study all had heart disease, and the hormones prescribed were 0.625 mg of conjugated estrogen plus 2.5 mg of medroxyprogesterone acetate. The results might not apply to women without heart disease or to those taking other hormone preparations.
The decision about whether to take postmenopausal hormone therapy depends on each woman's personal preferences and risks. This study suggests that preventing diabetes might be one of the few benefits of postmenopausal hormone therapy.

Nothing seems to add up in this Ambassador Stevens murder. Orders to stand down. Poor security on 911. Could Stevens have been sacrified as an eye for an eye for taking out Bin Laden with the Muslim radicals? What do you think?

It's dark.
it's 3 o'clock in the morning.
The children are asleep.
Everyone is tucked in.
But then, the phone rings in the White House.
Who will answer the phone?
I guess you need to have the correct phone number. Is it the regular phone number or the private phone number?
Better be sure, you only have on chance.

When they say this is political. They are right.
The Democrats made it political from Day one when they fired out the video story to fit their narrative of "we are winning the war on terrorism".
Political hack Sidney Blumenthal has Clintons private email address but the Ambassador did not?

I wonder what the Donald would do if subjected to an all-day, hostile questioning.

Gowdy and the Republicans blew this one, IMO. I watched Gowdy's opening statement and the last two hours. There was a large disconnect between his opening statement and the last 8 or 10 grillings.
The Republicans, instead of constructing a narrative and sticking with it, kept going for the sound-bite gotcha. Bad move.
Were they working for Hillary? They certainly got sucked into partisan sniping and gave her a free pass. All she had to do was keep from getting angry, and that made them look like they were conducting a partisan inquisition.
It reminded me of what Don Corleone told his nephew. "Never hate your enemy. It affects your judgment."

Stinky and slopsteward, they have been reincarnated after being banned in their previous lives. If Hillary was as transparent we would know the truth.

I recently took a walk near the Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge near Elk Grove. Perhaps it's due to the drought and spring rains that have only come recently, but it seems that some of the wildflowers are a bit late and are just now starting to bloom. I saw emerging lavender, carpets of long-beaked filaree and swathes of yellow-orange goldfields in the place of now evaporated vernal pools.
Golden California poppies and fiddlenecks were just starting to appear as was the deep purple of winter vetch. All this emerging beauty is the inspiration of the next Reader's Photo Challenge assignment: Wildflowers.
The very first challenge assignment was "flowers" but this is a little different. The submissions are to be limited to blossoms growing in the wild. No photos of gardens, orchards, planter boxes, or houseplants will be accepted. Now this doesn't mean you have to travel way out into the boonies to get your photo (though if you're so inclined you're perfectly welcome to do so). There are many flowers, such as wild mustard and wild radishes, growing naturally in open lots and along roadsides within the city or in rural areas just outside of city limits. Traveling way up into the foothills and the Sierra may afford you a greater variety of flowers but there are plenty of blossoms within less than an hour's drive from Stockton. Within the next few weeks, most of them should be blooming in full swing.
You can shoot a close up of the flowers themselves, or they can just be a part of the composition, such as a foreground or background. They can be an accent to a portrait, or you can even pick some and put them in a vase for a still-life photo. They just have to either be a photo of a wildflower or be incorporated into the picture in a recognizable way.
As with any photo, the best times of day for light will be either in the early morning or the late afternoon/early evening. For close-ups, a macro lens will help you to get in close to the wildflowers, which tend to have smaller blossoms than domesticated plants. Wide angles are good for an overall scene. Try to avoid front lighting the flower. It can make an otherwise colorful flower look dull and washed out. Backlighting tends to have the best results because the sunlight can shine through the blossoms' thin petals and really make the colors pop out.
Whether you travel near or far, go for a close up or an overall, go out early or stay late, this challenge assignment will allow you to get out and walk on the wild side.

U.S. Petroleum Demand Dropped 6% in 2008, Says Oil Industry
In 2008, the U.S. demand for petroleum dropped to its lowest level since 2003, according to the American Petroleum Institute (API). Using U.S. petroleum deliveries as a measure of oil demand, API found that demand dropped by 1.2 million barrels per day, a 6% drop, to 19.4 million barrels per day. Oil demand fell because the demand for fuels dropped, with gasoline deliveries sliding by 3.3%; distillate fuel oil deliveries, which includes diesel fuel, decreasing by 5.8%; jet fuel deliveries dropping by 6.1%, and residual fuel oil deliveries falling by 14%. Coincidentally, U.S. crude oil production was also down, as lower oil production in Alaska and hurricane-related shut-ins in the Gulf of Mexico pushed production below 5 million barrels per day for the first time since 1946. Despite the drop in production, the imports of crude oil and petroleum products also decreased by more than 5% to 12.9 million barrels per day, the lowest level in five years. U.S. production of one petroleum product increased, however: the refinery output of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel increased by more than 10%, to 3.1 million barrels per day. See the API press release.

Incumbent, not issues, tackled in District 9
At a forum for candidates running in the upcoming May primary election, incumbent District 9 City Councilman Rev. Ricky Burgess squared off against his two competitors, the Allegheny County Democratic Committee's endorsed candidate Phyllis Copeland-Mitchell and Lucille Prater-Holliday, the president of non-profit group Action United, formerly known as ACORN. BURDEN OF PROOF—Candidates Phyllis Copeland-Mitchell, right; and Lucille Prater-Holiday, left, challenged incumbent City Councilman Rev. Ricky Burgess' record. (Photos by J.L. Martello) The candidates at the forum hosted by the Western Pennsylvania Black Political Assembly, tackled issues confronting the city's struggling district 9 neighborhoods. Primary among them was the issue of Black-on-Black violence and it's connection to economic development and youth recreation. "We have to get the homicide rate down in our community," Burgess said. "We have to have the public directly involved in the decision making in terms of how government spends our money."

When carbon dioxide is dissolved in water carbonic acid, H2CO3, is formed.
Carbonic acid (ancient name acid of air or aerial acid) has the formula H2CO3. It is also a name sometimes given to solutions of carbon dioxide in water, which contain small amounts of H2CO3. The salts of carbonic acids are called bicarbonates (or hydrogencarbonates) and carbonates. It is a weak acid. (wikipedia)

text: Pursuing Success Recent Videos Risa Lavizzo-Mourey protects innovative projects Trying to save his father from cancer Charles Bronfman goes broke with Steinhardt Pursuing Success Philanthropists who want to ramp up their giving and move beyond writing checks inevitably want to create more effective philanthropy. But what does "success" look like? While its definition varies among donors, those who achieve the best results with their giving take a strategic approach to at least some of their philanthropic efforts. For the philanthropists we interviewed, pursuing success and creating the most effective philanthropy possible is an iterative process. They have found it involves important decisions, including getting clear about where they want to focus their giving, getting real about what it takes to actually make change happen, and getting better over time by continuously learning and adapting. (See "Galvanizing Philanthropy", (Harvard Business Review 2009) for more information). Most of the philanthropists we interviewed focus their efforts by first choosing a cause, typically in one of three ways: by selecting a problem that has affected them personally, such as a disease; by selecting problems with a clear moral imperative, such as poverty or hunger; or by choosing an issue that offers an outsized social return on investment or that is underfunded. (See "Clarifying Your Aspirations," an excerpt from Give Smart: Philanthropy That Gets Results, for more information). Our interviewees also stress the value of building a philanthropic portfolio and emphasize the importance of being strategic with at least part of their philanthropy. This involves deciding which vehicle(s) to use for their giving, such as establishing a foundation or using donor-advised funds; deciding how much of their philanthropy will be devoted to getting results versus how much will be for personal giving; and deciding how funds will be allocated to big versus small initiatives. As for strategies, some of our interviewees act as social-venture capitalists, taking risks that governments and nonprofits can't. Because they don't have to worry about being fired, nor are their investments accountable to external markets, our interviewees describe how they can afford to back early-stage ideas and organizations that hold the promise of eradicating stubborn social problems, or make big bets in order to achieve outsized returns on their investments. One such philanthropist is Stanley Druckenmiller, who says, "I like putting all my eggs in one basket and then watching that basket closely." While philanthropists will always have varied approaches to their philanthropy, those who seek to achieve the greatest success tend to be more deliberate and strategic about how they pursue results. Hear Josh Bekenstein, Laura and John Arnold, and Julian Robertson talk about how they build their portfolio. See how Richard Atlas, Bill Draper, Pete Peterson, Jennifer and Peter Buffett, Michael Milken, and George Kaiser arrived at the causes on which they are focused. Watch Eli Broad, Steve Hilton, Geoff Boisi, Paul Tudor Jones, and Carrie Avery discuss how they determined their strategy for tackling an issue. Hear Peter Lynch, Eli Broad, Henry McCance, Steve McCormick, and Michael Milken talk about why and how they take risks.

Hoping to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, ear infections, colds, pneumonia, bronchitis, and other childhood illnesses linked to secondhand smoke exposure, Ohio lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it illegal to smoke in vehicles when young children are present.
Some local residents say the bill, recently introduced into the Ohio Senate, is too invasive, while others say it doesn't go far enough because it would only protect children who are younger than 6.
Anthony Azzi, 21, of Marietta, said he smokes, but that he would never smoke with a child in the car.
"It should be illegal to smoke with children in a car with you," he said. "But if they're going to do this, they should look out for kids until they're at least 16...At that age, they should have the ability to drive themselves or commute some other way."
Kim Reinhold, of Cincinnati, was in Marietta visiting family on Monday. She said the proposed bill seems invasive, but that she would probably be in favor of such a law.
"It does seem over-reaching at first, but I would like to think a parent would think of their child first," she said. "I always thought of my children first and myself second. That's what a good parent does."
Fact Box
At a glance
Each year in the U.S., secondhand smoke is responsible for:
An estimated 46,000 deaths from heart disease in people who are current non-smokers.
About 3,400 non-smoking adults die of lung cancer as a result of breathing secondhand smoke.
Worse asthma and asthma -related problems in up to 1 million asthmatic children.
Between 150,000 and 300,000 lower respiratory tract infections in children under 18 months of age, and lung infections resulting in 7,500 to 15,000 hospitalizations each year.
Source: American Cancer Society.
Ohio Rep. Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, said the bill seems well-intended but that he has concerns. He said the bill could be a slippery slope toward more laws that could affect personal choices.
"I don't know if we want to get into the business of reaching into the private lives of our citizens," he said. "My initial reaction is that this is an over-reach...And where does it stop after you start down that path?"
The sponsor of the bill, Democratic Sen. Charleta Tavares, of Columbus, told The Associated Press the goal of the bill is to protect children from secondhand smoke.
According to the National Cancer Institute, exposure to secondhand smoke irritates the airways and has immediate harmful effects on a person's heart and blood vessels, and increases the risk of heart disease by an estimated 25 to 30 percent.
Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome, ear infections, colds, pneumonia, bronchitis, and more severe asthma. Being exposed to secondhand smoke slows the growth of children's lungs and can cause them to cough, wheeze, and feel breathless, according to the cancer institute.
Ohio Sen. Troy Balderson, whose district includes Washington County, did not return a message seeking comment.
Corey McClung, 11, of Williamstown, said he hoped the bill would pass in Ohio and eventually become a national law.
"Secondhand smoke is just as bad as breathing in a cigarette," he said. "When you're in a car, there's no escape."
According to Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights, it is currently illegal in four states to smoke with children present in a car. Those states are Maine, California, Louisiana and Arkansas.
Arkansas protects children younger than 6, while the other states make it illegal to smoke in the vehicle when pre-teens are present.

Pixels and Panels: Mirror's Edge Comes to Comics
Hey there, and welcome to the first edition of a brand new games column, Pixels and Panels. As you've no doubt seen by our coverage here, the worlds of video games and comic books are more closely intertwined than ever before. Games are being made featuring comic book characters (DCU Online, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2) and even just super-hero archetypes (City of Heroes, Champions Online). This is a naturally want for the comic book companies; the games industry is looking to hit nearly $30 billion this year, after $18 billion in 2007 and $12.5 billion in 2006, according to NPD Group. This massively eclipses the comic book industry, which saw about $430 million in sales (via direct market) in 2007. However, there is a definite overlap in the customer base of these two industries, and it's one that both sides are trying to reach through the other. This column will explore comic book video games and explore games that make the leap the other direction and become comic books. We'll track the trends, give you some previews and reviews, and explore every side of the transition from Pixels to Panels and back again.First up is Jim Lee, who just can't get his hands out of the video game cookie jar! EA's upcoming first-person parkour (freestyle running) covert-delivery adventure game, Mirror's Edge has been noted by critics and fans alike for it's stark visual style. In the first person genre, most games are muddled by dark colors, brown being the lead amongst them. Mirror's Edge uses bright colors and lights, filling the screen with white, blue, red, and yellow. DC Comics' Wildstorm imprint (headed by the aforementioned Lee) has taken notice, and is publishing a comic book prequel to lead into the game. The six issue mini-series had a surprise premier at SDCC this weekend, alongside the game itself. The series is written by Rhianna Pratchett, who also wrote and works as story designer on the game. Matthew Dow Smith handles the art for the series. EA wants the series to be an introduction to the lead character Faith and her co-workers in their illegal courier business, as well as establishing the world. The story is strictly a prequel, and won't spoil any of the game's story.

Sleeveless Fur at Gianfranco Ferre
Gianfranco Ferre's new owner, Sankari Ahmed of Dubai-based Paris Group, took in his first fashion show today, "as an owner," he said. "I've been coming to fashion shows for 30 years."
Two women glamorously dressed in fur and hot pink then whisked him inside.
There will be some glitches to work out as he officially gets the keys to the house on March 2.
For instance, the show notes placed on the seats were from last season. Whoops.
For the warmer climes of the Middle East, Ferre designers Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi adapted their fettish item, the coat.
A fur coat came sleeveless, perfect for those hot Arabian nights.

Occupy Oakland has voted to deposit $20,000 with Wells Fargo Bank -- just days after Occupy protesters shattered windows of one of the bank's downtown Oakland branches during the group's attempt to stage a general strike in the embattled East Bay city.
The decision was posted at Occupy Oakland's site for its general assembly. According to the link, the group made the decision to deposit the $20,000 with Wells at a meeting on Monday night.
Wells Fargo quickly trumpeted the decision.
"If this report is true, it demonstrates that even Occupy Oakland understands -- first-hand -- the value and service that Wells Fargo provides its customers," Wells spokesman Ruben Pulido said in an e-mail to this newspaper.
San Francisco-based Wells also took the occasion to refer to Occupy Oakland's support of 99 percent of Americans, which the group says as at a disadvantage when compared with the nation's richest 1 percent.
"Wells Fargo welcomes the 100 percent of Americans to allow us to help them meet their financial needs," Pulido said.
The general assembly voted 162 to 8 to approve a proposal to place the money with Wells Fargo. The assembly minutes indicate that placement with Wells Fargo, to which the group has referred to as a "bankster," might be only temporary.
Occupy Oakland intends to eventually place the funds with a credit union. The money, the minutes indicate, was donated by OSW, an acronym for Occupy Wall Street, a protest effort that sprouted in Lower Manhattan.
It wasn't immediately clear if the funds have been deposited with Wells Fargo.
The cash is to be used to assist in helping individuals who might have been jailed in connection with Occupy Oakland actions, the minutes of the general assembly stated.
Occupy Oakland has delayed placing the funds into a credit union because the group is maneuvering to be considered a specialized type of organization. It wants to become an "unincorporated association," according to the Occupy Oakland minutes.
The group has filed papers with California's Secretary of State to gain that status. An unincorporated nonprofit association is formed for the purposes of an ad hoc common effort, which can range from a bake sale to major group activities.
State officials don't approve the formation of those associations immediately. Occupy Oakland legal representatives estimated it can take two weeks to be approved as an unincorporated nonprofit association.
Some members of the assembly, during the meeting, raised concerns about using Wells Fargo for the group's bank.
"I understand that people aren't comfortable with that, but this is a time sensitive issue," one of the leaders of the general assembly stated, according to the minutes.
Occupy Oakland has pilloried Chase Bank, Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank and other major American financial companies for triggering some of the nation's economic ailments.
"It takes time to transfer funds to a credit union," one of the general assembly members stated, according to the minutes posted on the website. "We need to help people in jail now."
