A number of changes to the British List come into effect today:
British Rail Rallus brittanicus Category A
First recognised as a full species in 1948 the British Rail was found throughout the UK. Numbers declined in the 1950s and the 1960s mainly due to loss of habitat. In the 1990s it became one of the first victims of climate change, being unable to cope with the wrong kind of snow in the winter of 1991. Introduced species such as the Virgin Rail Rallus beardii, and the Network Rail Rallus trackus in the late 1990s reduced numbers even further until there were no longer any breeding British Rails in the wild. A small number of them remain in private collections which enthusiasts hope will provide the basis of a reintroduction programme, but in the current economic climate this seems unlikely.
Leyton Buzzard Buteo leytonii Category A
Sometimes known as the Leighton Buzzard, small numbers of these birds can be found in east London and the Midlands. The east London population was first recorded in the late 1880s and later identified in the 1940s as being of the race orientalis. The Midland population can be found to the south of Milton Keynes, numbers of which have slowly increased over recent years where they are often found near the M1, and perched on overhead lines.
Pillock Prunella anoraka Category A
Common British species found in a wide range of habitats, although in decline in some urban areas. Often found near railways, and other transport infrastructure as well as on nature reserves where it often gathers in large flocks. Has a distinctive tick – tick call. Known to feed on cheese sandwiches.
Norwegian Blue Cyanopsitta norvegicus Category E
Europe's only indigenous breeding parrot, small numbers of these birds lived in the Norwegian coastal woodlands. Up until the early 1960s numbers were stable; when after this time they were particularly attractive to the cage bird trade due to their beautiful plumage. Numbers in the wild suffered an alarming decline and they were considered extinct as a wild bird by the late 1960s. In captivity they were difficult birds to breed as they were known to pine for the fjords. The last known captive bird was sold by a London pet shop to a Mr Praline in a moribund state in late 1969.
The British list updates will take place from 1/4/11

It's a common misconception that Botox is used only for lines and wrinkles in the upper half of the face, such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. Botox can safely and effectively be used in the lower half of the face as well. Careful placement of small doses of Botox around the mouth can help with upper and lower lip lines, chin creases, chin dimpling, and it can even raise the corners of the mouth in people with down-turned smiles.
Let's first review the anatomy of the area so that we can understand how Botox can achieve these goals. Vertical upper and lower lip lines, or "smoker's lines" as they're commonly referred to, are caused by over-activity of the orbicularis oris. The image below shows you the action of this muscle, and you can see how over time the lines will form in the skin where it is creasing due to the action of the muscle.
The orbicularis oris is a muscle that encircles the mouth just under the skin, and it allows you to "pucker-up", as they say. Activities like kissing, drinking through a straw or whistling are common actions that use this muscle. Not just smokers get these lines; age, genetics, sun exposure and a host of other factors can lead to these lines even in people who have never smoked. The image below shows the anatomy of this muscle.
Botox, in doses of 2-5 units, can be injected in two or four injections sites along the upper lip, right at the border between the lip and the skin. This then slightly relaxes the orbicularis oris muscle, softening the lip lines. The effect of the Botox can also cause the upper lip margin to drift upward slightly, created the effect of a larger, fuller, more youthful upper lip. Botox, also in doses of 2-5 units, can be injected at three injection sites along the lower lip to achieve the same softening of lower lip lines. It's important to keep in mind that when Botox is used in this muscle, some people can experience temporary sensations similar to numbness as well as temporary difficulty with actions like sipping drinks through a straw. These side effects are usually limited in time to one or two weeks after injection.
Over-activity of another muscle in the lower face, the depressor anguli oris, can lead to the appearance of a down-turned smile in certain people. This can be distressing because affected individuals feel that they look as though they're always sad or frowning. The image below is an example of this phenomenon.
The depressor anguli oris does what its name says. It depresses the angle of the "oris", which is the latin root word for mouth. This muscles allows you to pull down the corners of your mouth, as when you grimace or cry. It's often called the "cry-baby" muscle. This muscle is triangular in shape, with the apex at the mouth corner and the base of the triangle along the angle of the jaw. The anatomical image below shows you this muscle.
Botox, when injected in one or two injection sites into the belly of this muscle, will relax the muscle. The dosing can vary from as little as 5 units to as many as 10 units into each muscle. Then, the corners of the mouth will drift slightly upward in the resting state. This improves the appearance of a down-turned smile. The action is not enough to actually curve the lip corners upward, but this effect can be achieved by using fillers after the Botox has taken effect.
If you have more questions about Botox for the lower face, Dr. Lawton offers free consultations and can answer all of your questions and concerns. Call us at 714-846-5950 for an appointment of email us through our website at www.bellalucespa.com.

A manufacturer of military-style rifles says it is leaving Connecticut and is encouraging other companies to do the same after last week's signing of sweeping gun legislation.
PTR Industries of Bristol said the bill approved by the General Assembly was "fraught with ambiguous definitions, insufficient considerations for the trade, conflicting mandates and disastrous consequences for the fundamental rights of the people of Connecticut."
In a statement posted late Tuesday, the company said it hopes to pick a site by summer and move by the end of the year.
Gov. Dannel Malloy on Thursday signed what advocacy groups call the strongest and most comprehensive gun legislation in the nation.
The law bans some weapons as well as the sale or purchase of high-capacity magazines like those used in the Newtown, Connecticut, shooting in December that left 20 children and six adults dead. It also requires background checks for all gun purchases.
The Connecticut measure adds more than 100 guns to the state's list of banned assault weapons, limits the capacity of ammunition magazines to 10 rounds and bans armor-piercing bullets.
While the new law allows current owners of magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds to keep them, it requires those people to register the magazines with the state and forbids owners from loading them with more than 10 rounds outside their homes or while at a gun range.
"At any given time, we own 100,000 or more 20-round magazines," PTR Industries CEO Josh Fiorini told CNN affiliate WFSB. "How are we supposed to individually register all of those magazines?"
With the restrictions, Fiorini said, his company would be unable to make payroll in Connecticut.
John McNamara, vice president of sales, said PTR Industries has 42 employees. "Indirectly, we employ 15 to 20 local vendors at any given time who have up to 15 to 30 employees each," he told CNN.
All of the company's rifles are semiautomatic.
PTR Industries sells its products to national distributors, and they are resold to federally licensed retailers across the country, said McNamara.
McNamara said he did not have data on current sales in Connecticut, but he said the law makes the company's rifles illegal for sale or transfer within the state.
"Our governor has decided that he wants our business to stay here and sell the guns he feels deemed illegal to other states, but not our own," said McNamara. "We do not agree with that logic."
Critics have argued the Connecticut legislation will do nothing to stop someone like Adam Lanza, who carried out the Sandy Hook school killings December 14 with an assault-style weapon and high-capacity magazines.
"In his case, he stole the guns and went on a murderous rampage," Scott Wilson, president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, previously has said. "Limiting magazine capacity or mandating registration will only affect law-abiding persons, not criminals bent on murder."
Republican House Minority Leader Larry Cafero, a member of the bipartisan task force that drafted the bill, reassured gun owners they wouldn't lose their guns or ammunition magazines, "so long as they follow our rules and register," he said.
On Thursday, when he signed the gun law, Malloy said, "We have come together in a way that relatively few places in our nation have demonstrated an ability to do."
However, he noted, "Today does not mark the end of our efforts" to combat gun violence.
PTR Industries said the safety of children was "at best questionably improved" since the shootings.
"Due to an improperly drafted bill, manufacturing of modern sporting rifles in the State of CT has been effectively outlawed," it said.
PTR Industries called on other gunmakers to leave Connecticut and "show our politicians the true consequences of their hasty and uninformed actions."
President Barack Obama has been waging a public pressure campaign for tougher gun laws.

To the Editor:
We confirm that interleukin (IL)-7 is a viable clinical candidate for use in inducing expression of latent HIV in resting CD4+ cells obtained from highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-treated, aviremic, HIV-infected adults.
Thus far, no one with HIV infection has been cured, despite the availability of potent antiretroviral agents. Nevertheless, cure of infection is the ultimate goal of any antimicrobial therapy. Although eradication of HIV infection is currently regarded as unattainable, advances in the understanding of HIV pathogenesis have led many to reevaluate the obstacles to the clearance of virus.
Eradication of HIV seems to be prevented by several factors, chief among them the presence of a stable population of long-lived quiescently infected CD4+ T cells. 1–5 Suppression of plasma viremia is achieved with the use of HAART; however, cessation of therapy uniformly results in the return of virus, thought to be primarily derived from these persistently infected resting memory T cells. 6–12 The generation of latency occurs after HIV infection of a transcriptionally active cell, which predominantly results in productive infection and cell death. If cellular transcription ceases before either viral or immunologic cytopathic effects, however, the virus can become dormant. 13–17
New treatment paradigms are needed to target and clear persistent infection in this latent viral reservoir. Such strategies must neither reduce immune function nor propagate new infection. Using a SCID-hu mouse model, Scripture-Adams et al 18 demonstrated that IL-7 stimulation of primary human T cells and thymocytes induced substantial expression of latent HIV while having minimal effects on cell phenotype. Latently infected T cells in this model system are derived from naive CD4+ cells, whereas most latently infected cells in HIV-infected individuals are resting memory CD4+ cells. As reported by Pier-son et al, 19 latent infection is up to 30-fold more frequent in the memory T-cell population.
Because phase 1 studies of the administration of IL-7 to HAART-treated HIV-infected patients are now being planned, we sought to test whether IL-7 allowed the recovery of HIV from peripheral cells of HIV-infected patients in whom viremia is suppressed by HAART. Resting memory CD4 cells would be expected to represent most of the latently infected cells in the peripheral blood of such patients. We measured the frequency of viral recovery after the exposure of peripheral resting CD4+ cells obtained from HAART-treated, aviremic, HIV-infected adults to this cytokine compared with nonspecific mitogen activation.
Four HIV-infected volunteers in whom the plasma levels of HIV-1 RNA (Roche Amplicor, Branchburg, NJ) had been durably suppressed (>6 months) to <50 copies/mL were studied after receiving institution review board–approved informed consent. Resting CD4+ T cells obtained by leukophoresis were isolated on 6 occasions as described by Chun and colleagues, 6,20 with modifications as described. 16,17 Resting CD4+ cells were cultured in a limiting dilution format in 4 replicate dilutions of 5.0 to 0.625 million cells per well. These cells were activated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and irradiated seronegative feeder peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or exposed to 10 ng/mL of IL-7 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) for 72 hours. CD8-depleted, PHA-activated, seronegative donor PBMCs (up to 1.5 million per well) were then added to these limiting dilution cultures. Cultures were grown in 20U/mL of IL-2 (Chiron, Emeryville, CA), fresh activated seronegative donor PBMCs were added weekly, and p24 was assayed in culture supernatant. Infectious units per million resting cells were estimated by a maximum likelihood. 21
Cells that express the α-chain of the IL-7 receptor, CD127, have the potential to respond to the IL-7 treatment. Analysis of the isolated resting T cells (CD3+/CD4+/human leukocyte antigen–D-related [HLA-DR]-) determined that 40% to 70% were CD127+. Fifty percent to 60% of these cells could be identified as naive because of the presence of phenotypic markers (CD45RA, CCR7, and CD62L). Therefore, the IL-7 receptor–positive cells within the resting T cells were approximately equally divided between the naive and memory T-cell populations. As expected, receptor levels were downregulated 10-fold after exposure to IL-7 (data not shown).
HIV was recovered from patients' resting cells in every instance after maximal activation with PHA, irradiated allogeneic PBMCs, and IL-2 (Table 1). HIV was recovered in 5 of 6 experiments after exposure to IL-7 and IL-2. HIV was not recovered in 1 of 2 experiments in 1 patient (A) in whom infectious units per million resting cells (IUPM) calculated from outgrowth after PHA activation was low.
Frequency of viral outgrowth (IUPM) was higher after activation than after exposure to IL-7 in 4 of 6 experiments. HIV was more frequently recovered from the resting cells of subject A after PHA activation on a single occasion, however, and more frequently after exposure to IL-7 in another experiment. Because of the rarity of latent HIV and the few experiments performed so far, a comparison of the frequency with which activation of IL-7 results in the outgrowth of latent HIV cannot yet be made. Given the infrequency of latent infection in naive cells and the frequency with which cells without naive markers displayed IL-7 receptor, it is possible that IL-7 induced viral expression from naive as well as memory cells.
Eradication of HIV infection is not yet feasible. This achievement requires advances in the potency of antiretroviral therapy, and perhaps immunotherapeutics that augment the antiviral response. Rational therapeutics that target latent HIV within resting CD4+ cells are required. Because IL-7 is now entering human trials as an immunotherapeutic, it may be a candidate for such an application.

I am having real trouble figuring out when to use these two formulas:
c(k + t - 1, t-1) and c(k + t - 1, k)
where k is equal to number of selections
t is equal to number of elements; number of groups items are in I guess is another way to state that
For example:
There are piles of red, green and blue balls; each pile has at least 10 balls in it. How many ways can you select 10 balls?
I would think it would be c(10 + 3 - 1, 3-1) but the answer the book gives is c(10 + 3 - 1, 10)
Another one is:
How many ways can 10 be selected if exactly one red ball must be selected?
I get c(9 + 2 - 1, 2-1) but again the answer is c(10 +2 -1, 9)
Please help this confused person!!!!
You have a bag with twenty balls in it. six red six green and 8 purple
How many ways can we select 5 balls if balls of each specific color are identical?
i think this is 20!
Could you tell me if this is correct? Thanks again folks very much.
PLato, I finally get it. It still does not seem like it should be true but I have tried several using either value k or the number you are choosing - 1 and they are equal. I do not know why it is so hard for me to grasp but I appreciate your patience. Maybe there is someone else out there that was also confused and this will help them before they get as frustrated as I did! Thank s again for the assistance.
Here is an example. If we have a group of ten from which we choose three then there are seven not chosen. On the other hand, if we choose seven then there are three not chosen. From n if we choose k then there are n-k not chosen and visa-versa.

Two men sentenced for cocaine in Monticello
January 22, 2013 —
District Attorney Jim Farrell announced that two men, David Guisewhite, 25, of Elmira, N.Y. and Jose Brigannti, 21, of Bronx, N.Y. were sentenced in Sullivan County Court to state prison terms for the possession of over 4 ounces of cocaine after a traffic stop on State Route 17 in the Town of Rockland on May 12, 2012.
Both men pled guilty to Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Second Degree, a class A-2 felony. Brigannti also pled guilty to driving while under the influence of marihuana. Guisewhite was sentenced to 8 years in prison and Brigannti was sentenced to 3 years in state prison with both sentences to be followed with 5 years of post release supervision or parole. Guisewhite also forfeited $1,064.00 in cash as proceeds of his illegal conduct.
Farrell said that both men, along with a third man, Dana Baker, 45, also of Elmira, N.Y., were in a motor vehicle that was stopped by the New York State Police for speeding. A subsequent search of the car revealed over four ounces of cocaine and twenty five grams of marihuana.
Farrell said the investigation revealed that the men were coming from New York City after obtaining the drugs and the cocaine seized was intended for distribution in Elmira.
Farrell praised the drug interdiction skills of the New York State Police and the officers who were involved in the stop and investigation stating, "These troopers and investigators skillfully discovered a large cache of cocaine that was destined for distribution on the streets and their actions foiled the plans of these drug dealers and resulted in prison sentences for each." Baker, who also entered a guilty plea, is expected to receive between 8 and 10 years in prison for his role in the drug possession when he is sentenced next month.

14 CFR 25.367 - Unsymmetrical loads due to engine failure.
(a) The airplane must be designed for the unsymmetrical loads resulting from the failure of the critical engine. Turbopropeller airplanes must be designed for the following conditions in combination with a single malfunction of the propeller drag limiting system, considering the probable pilot corrective action on the flight controls:
(1) At speeds between V MC and V D, the loads resulting from power failure because of fuel flow interruption are considered to be limit loads.
(2) At speeds between V MC and V C, the loads resulting from the disconnection of the engine compressor from the turbine or from loss of the turbine blades are considered to be ultimate loads.
(3) The time history of the thrust decay and drag build-up occurring as a result of the prescribed engine failures must be substantiated by test or other data applicable to the particular engine-propeller combination.
(4) The timing and magnitude of the probable pilot corrective action must be conservatively estimated, considering the characteristics of the particular engine-propeller-airplane combination.
(b) Pilot corrective action may be assumed to be initiated at the time maximum yawing velocity is reached, but not earlier than two seconds after the engine failure. The magnitude of the corrective action may be based on the control forces specified in § 25.397(b) except that lower forces may be assumed where it is shown by anaylsis or test that these forces can control the yaw and roll resulting from the prescribed engine failure conditions.

Memories of Brampton
The 'Valet' Shop In Brampton In The 1960s
Does anyone remember the 'Valet' shop that used to be near the High Street entrance to the Village Park? It was sort of a haberdashers but the lady also used to take in dry cleaning and shoe mending. It was a portakabin type building and there was one lady who used to run it. I wish we'd taken a photo. We moved to Brampton around 1965 and I remember it being around for a while after that.
How I Miss The Royal Air Force Humour!
The building you can see behind the tree left of photo was the main guardroom. At the back was the offices of the RAF Police and the RAF Regt.

Perhaps you are aware of trying to find a balance between the reality of disease or a particular situation and the anxious thoughts, fears and worries that can fuel feelings of resentment, inadequacy and being overwhelmed. Or maybe what is being sought is something else--an inner knowing of the difference between power and control.
Some people are ashamed of their worry. Some appear proud of it. Others feel consumed or controlled by it. For some, it has an addictive quality.
We are human and fear is natural at times. But to live in a constant state of it is not natural. As a parent, when a child is fearful, we can ask them to explain what they are afraid of. As adults, we often do not take the time to do the same. We think that we know, that we are certain what we are scared of is the obvious thing--whatever that may be. Examples: A parent is physically ill and may become worse; a parent is financially ill and may become dependent; a parent is mentally ill and may do something dangerous. (These are general categories of concern with nondescript outcomes.)
In many cases, adult children will not have control over many of the outcomes of such issues, but that doesn't mean we don't have personal power in the situation. Personal power in part, stems from knowing what you are fearful of, of asking oneself what good the fear or anxiety is serving.
Typically, fear and anxiety serve fear and anxeity. In other words, propel and feed it.
There is a technique I have heard of that is referred to as that of "shining a flashlight on the monsters under the bed." Maybe you've heard of it. As with a child when we ask what they are scared of, we want to do the same thing for ourselves. We want to do it with the lack of judgment we'd give a child, too.
This is something many parents do naturally with their kids, and should feel free to apply it to themselves. By shining the (flash)light, we can take steps to move into our own power, clear thinking and peace of mind (in a way, all three things are one and the same), and away from anxiety, rumination and inner terror. By staying in the dark, the mind continues to tell scary stories, (which is what it's really good at).
Stay "where your feet are." This is so much easier that trying to "think positive." I've found positive thinking to be a chore, one that creates stress. While there is nothing bad about being positive and upbeat, but peace and clear mindedness (which can be a great help when a parent is mentally, physically or financially ill) can help you determine what your own limits are, and how to move forward, get more help and so on. But the power comes in focusing on the next indicated step.
Perhaps it feels counterintuitive. The impulse is to focus on what's going on "outside" and to fix the situation. To help first and foremost. Yet, practicing ways to connect with your deepest, truest self, the part of you that is unshakable, unstoppable, real, can help. Meditation is wonderful because, again, it is geared to help us gain control (for lack of a better word) over the mind, and its worries and doom/gloom that typically is progressive (meaning that it gets worse).
Eckhart Tolle, the spiritual teacher, explains clearly and succinctly in The Power of Now and A New Earth, that peace and serenity is found in the present moment. So if anxiety returns the antidote is to gently gently invite back the present moment. The key is to do it gently - as you would take the hand of child.

I first had surgery for a nodule attached to the tendon in my left foot several years ago. The tumor was about 1" or so in size, living in the arch of my foot. Benign, diagnosis was Dupuytrens. The podiatrist that did the surgury made a stitch in my foot for the muscle and then sewed up the skin. It didn't heal properly and I returned to the same practice where the younger podiatrist reopened the site, repaired, and resewed the whole thing. Seems to be ok now. Next was the frozen shoulder that was diagnosed as bursitis. I had a corticosteroid shot and physical therapy.Next I noticed some nodules in my palms, both hands. There is some dimpling. When I went to see my mother last spring, I noticed that she had Dupuytrens contracture on both hands and the cords were quite pronounced. Her doctor told her that only surgery would help, but she opted to live with it.My question is: are these three things related? If so, how? What method of treatment, or where can I go for more information?Thanks, Crispy

Around Saratoga
Augie's to reopen in downtown Ballston Spa
The new location for Augie's Restaurant will be about five minutes down the road from its old spot and is scheduled to reopen by the middle of September.
After almost a decade in one spot, a fire earlier this month destroyed the popular restaurant, but owner Augie Vitiello promised he would serve food again. The former location of Manna's, which was in the heart of downtown Ballston Spa at 17 Low St., will be the new location, according to a release from the restaurant.
A big reopening is promised, with the restaurant saying, "If you think we aren't having something fantastic for opening day after all of this.....just stay tuned."
According to the release, the restaurant operators received many suggestions about their future. "Some wanted us to completely move to other Capital District towns - others wanted us to be in the old Eccobelli's spot.....all of that aside we are pleased to report that our new home is still in our old community," said the restaurant.
It's not clear how long Augie's will be in this spot, as a post on the restaurant's Facebook page, indicated it might be temporary. "At this point we can't honestly say if it will be temporary or not," reads the post. "We spent a lot of time trying to find a new temporary spot!"
More than $15,000 has been raised online since the fire to help out employees of Augie's who have been out of work.

The career of an entrepreneur seemed unlikely for Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh when he was growing up. His parents wanted him to become a doctor or lawyer – or to at least be able to put "PhD" after his name.
Hsieh didn't like the "standard path" his parents had in mind for him; so, he rebelled and started on an entrepreneurial route. The Zappos CEO explains how it all started in the video below.

Electronic Arts has been one of the most aggressive companies in developing solutions to the perceived used game dilemma. Publishers don't see a direct revenue stream from used games, so EA is one of many publishers coming up with incentives for consumers to purchase a new copy of their games. With Mass Effect 2, it was the Cerberus Network. With EA Sports, it's "Online Pass."
"Online Pass" is required for all online features. You don't have a choice. If you don't have an "Online Pass" code, it will cost you $10 to generate an "Online Pass." That's EA's carrot to used game fans.
What's in the "Online Pass"? According to EA: "you'll have access to multiplayer online play, group features like online dynasty and leagues, user created content, and bonus downloadable content."
This new initiative will begin with the release of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 next month and continue forward. The code needed to access Online Pass is included on the back of every game's manual. "Online Pass" is only required for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases. The announcement does not mention Wii or PC being involved in "Online Pass" and I'm currently seeking clarification there.
EA themselves make it clear this move is connected to the used game market.
"In order to continue to enhance the online experiences that are attracting nearly five million connected game sessions a day," explained senior VP of worldwide development Andrew Wilson in a post at EASports.com, "we think it's fair to get paid for the services we provide and to reserve these online services for people who pay EA to access them. In return, we'll continue to invest in creating great games and offer industry-leading online services to extend the game experience to everyone."
Like Cerberus Network, however, the hook is not just online connectivity; it's access to content that won't be available without hooking into "Online Pass." You can happily play Mass Effect 2 without Cerberus Network, even purchase premium downloadable content, and the same philosophy is being applied to games connected to "Online Pass." Your game isn't unplayable, but it is missing features, and to tempt used gamers even more, there will be a seven-day pass made available free of charge.
"When we see how many people are playing all of our games online," said Wilson, "consumers are telling us that competition is endemic to sports in a way that most people don't get just by playing a game alone on their couch. As a result, we've made a significant investment to offer the most immersive online experience available. We want to reserve EA Sports online services for people who pay EA to access them."
For Xbox 360 players, this doesn't negate the requirement for an Xbox Live Gold membership.
If you're a used game buyer, will this influence your purchases going forward?

Obama: Americans agree with my approach on deficitBy ANDREW TAYLOR and JULIE PACE
The Associated Press | November 10,2012AP Photo
President Barack Obama, accompanied by Vice President Joe Biden, gestures as he speaks about the economy and the deficit Friday in the East Room of the White House in Washington.WASHINGTON President Barack Obama, laying down his marker for grueling fiscal cliff negotiations, said Friday he wont accept any approach to federal deficit reduction that doesnt ask the wealthy to pay more in taxes.
This was a central question during the election, Obama said in his first postelection comments on the economy. The majority of Americans agree with my approach.
Following up, Obamas spokesman said later that the president would veto any legislation extending tax cuts for families making $250,000 or more.
The president, speaking in the White House East Room, said he wasnt wedded to every detail of the plans he outlined during the election, adding, Im open to compromise. But he offered no indication that he was willing to back down.
Republicans stood their ground. At the Capitol, Republican House Speaker John Boehner said he remains unwilling to raise tax rates on upper-income earners. But he left open the possibility of balancing spending cuts with new revenue that could be achieved by revising the tax code to lower rates but also eliminate some tax breaks.
Obama said he had invited congressional leaders of both parties to the White House next week for their first postelection negotiations. Their assignment: avert the fiscal cliff tax increases and automatic spending cuts due to hit in January. Both parties agree that those changes, the result of failed deficit-cut talks earlier this year, could send the economy back into recession.
He avoided any mention of actual tax rates in his remarks, saying only that the wealthy should pay more. That omission might seem to open a door for negotiating, but spokesman Jay Carneys statement on the likelihood of a veto suggested otherwise.
Both sides agree that failure to address the automatic tax increases and spending cuts could cripple the economy. A Congressional Budget Office report on Thursday projected that the economy would fall back into recession if there is a protracted impasse in Washington.
Obama and Republicans have tangled over the tax cuts first approved by George W. Bush for years. The president gave in to Republican demands to extend the cuts across the board in 2010, but he ran for re-election on a pledge to allow the rates to increase on families making more than $250,000 a year.
Republicans say raising tax rates on the wealthiest Americans is a non-starter. Boehner said it would hurt small businesses while they are still struggling to recover from the recession.
Im proposing that we avert the fiscal cliff together in a manner that ensures that 2013 is finally the year that our government comes to grips with the major problems that are facing us, Boehner said Friday. He said cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and food stamps, known as entitlement programs, have to be part of the equation.
Boehner also indicated that raising the debt limit, which the government will reach sometime in the spring, should be part of any negotiations. Pressed for details beyond that framework, he said he didnt want to limit ideas to address the problem. He said the burden is on Obama.
This is an opportunity for the president to lead, Boehner said. He repeated a version of that phrase four times during the 11 minutes he spoke. This is his moment to engage the Congress and work toward a solution that can pass both chambers.MORE IN Wire News

MCLA Picks: Schooling Schooler
by Jac Coyne | Lacrosse Magazine Online Staff | Coyne Archive | Twitter
|Nick Schooler had a lot of success with UC Santa Barbara, winning a pair of national titles. Unfortunately for Nick, he'll find the pick 'em industry to be a whole lot more difficult than playing Gaucho lacrosse.
I've been covering the MCLA for a couple of years now, so it was
time to put my unmatched lacrosse knowledge to the test. Instead of
picking against thin air as I've done in the past, this year I'll
be competing against Nick Schooler for bragging rights.
A former All-American for UC Santa Barbara, Schooler won national championships in 2004 and 2005 with the Gauchos. While his current day job is pursuing a Master's degree in Marine Science with a focus on coastal ecology at UCSB (hence the crab photo), he keeps a keen eye on events in the MCLA. Born and bred in Berkeley, Calif., Schooler is a bit of a know-it-all, so he'll have that dogged determination to continue even when he's out of the running and I'm flirting with a perfect 55-0 record.
Nick and I will be picking five games every weekend. There will be three baseline games - the biggest contests of the weekend - and then we'll each add one game we find especially compelling that was not included in the top three. We'll give our thoughts on the contests each week and keep a running tab of the score.
Onto the games...
The Picks - Weekend of Feb. 13
No. 2 Brigham Young at No. 3 Chapman, 7 p.m. PT - Saturday
COYNE: It was two years ago that Chapman officially put itself on the map when it defeated defending champion BYU in Orange County. It only makes sense that the Cougars commence their '10 title quest by downing the Panthers. BYU 14, Chapman 10. (And yes, I know BYU officially starts on Thursday against SDSU).
SCHOOLER: The first nationally televised game of the year on FOX College Sports! It's like opening a birthday present when you watch BYU's first game. It's never clear who will be playing for BYU at the start of the season, and this will be the first big test for BYU's new head coach Matt Schneck.
But sandwiching Chapman between San Diego State on Thursday and UC Santa Barbara on Monday will be too much for the Cougars. Chapman is just too strong on their home turf in the OC. Especially after the romping that they laid down on Charlie Weis [Schooler's nickname for San Diego head coach and former UCSB-er Mike DeWan] and USD last weekend. Seven points from Maryland transfer Madison Fiore in his first game! Watch out BYU, Chapman will win this game easily.
COYNE: Just a reminder that this game will be broadcast live at 7 p.m. PT (10 p.m. ET) on Fox College Sports channel. Check it out.
No. 16 Oregon vs. California, 2 p.m. PT - Saturday (at Washington)
COYNE: It's not that I don't think Oregon is a good team, but despite earning a berth in Denver last year I wasn't overly impressed with the Ducks (getting trounced in the first round didn't help). Granted, they have a 'new' coach, however I'm going to need more convincing before I can pick them with any confidence. I'll take Schooler's hometown team, Cal, 11-9.
SCHOOLER: An epic Pac 10 match-up. Cal is coming off their first victory over UCSB since I was a high schooler rooting for the Bears a decade ago. Unfortunately for the Ducks, the second coming of Coach Kerwin will not be enough to boost Oregon past Berkeley. The Bears will come out with an early lead and hold on to it for the duration of the game.
No. 14 Cal Poly at No. 11 UC Santa Barbara, 2 p.m. PT - Saturday
COYNE: If you go back into the MCLA annals, Cal Poly's biggest tormentor has been UCSB. Even last year, when the Mustangs were having a banner season, winning the WCLL, and the Gauchos finished with a .500 record, the Santa Barbarians still managed to knock off CP, 6-3 on the road. I think the trend breaks. Cal Poly 9, UCSB 7.
SCHOOLER: The battle of the Central Coast. I'm going to go out on a limb here and pick the Gauchos. Cal Poly is looking to avenge a loss from last season in which the Gauchos held the Mustangs to three goals, their lowest output of the season. With the loss of UCSB's top two defenders from last year, look for an up and coming rookie class to lead UCSB to victory.
Coyne's Game Pick
Arizona at Texas A&M, 7 p.m. MT - Saturday
COYNE: The conclusion of the 2009 season saw several of the coaches responsible for the ascendancy of the MCLA step down in Jason Lamb, Flip Naumburg and Gary Podesta. In College Station this weekend, there will be a couple of card-carrying members of the Old Guard roaming the sidelines. Tony Scazzero, the head coach at Texas A&M and current MCLA president, and the newly reinstated Mickey-Miles Felton at Arizona. Which old dog has the magic touch? I think it's M-MF by a hair. Arizona 12, Texas A&M 11.
SCHOOLER: The Lone Star Alliance versus the SLC/WCLL. Enough said. Arizona with an easy victory.
Schooler's Game Pick
Santa Clara at Loyola Marymount, 1 p.m. PT - Saturday
SCHOOLER: Just like BYU, Santa Clara has lost a coach synonymous with their program. Gary Podesta started with the program back in the 80's, but they parted ways during the summer. The Broncos have some size 14 shoes to fill and will have to rally if they want to defeat LMU.
Every season, the Lions look like they will break into the Top 15, but seem to come up a little short. This year will be no different. With 60 percent of the student population being women, it might be tough for those guys to focus on lacrosse. However, I don't see Santa Clara doing much with the loss of their coach so late in the year, so I am going with LMU in this one.
COYNE: This is good first pick for Nick because it'll be tough to call. I think if this game happened last week I would have quickly picked Loyola Marymount, but the opening loss to San Diego State is forcing me to hesitate. A lot of factors - Santa Clara getting it's opener against UC Davis postponed, new coach for the Broncos, etc. - are pointing me to pick the Lions, but I'm going to tab Santa Clara in a narrow one, 12-10.

Updating on last years presentation, this session is an introduction to httpd ultra-scalability and benchmarking. Covering new developments such as pluggable IO schedulers on Linux, even more efficient and streamlined zero-copy performance and the new graceful-stop functionality, this session will show you how to get absolutely the most performance from httpd 2.2.
The DBD framework in Apache provides unified bindings for SQL databases. Instead of each module (PHP, Perl, Authentication, MyCustomApp, etc.) managing its own connections, Apache manages a pool of database connections. Even when there's only one database application, connection pooling is a major improvement in efficiency compared to classic LAMP.
This talk will introduce the DBD architecture, and summarise the APIs. It will point developers in the right direction for using the framework in their work, and will briefly explain how to add support for a new backend database.
The Apache HTTP Server powers some of the busiest sites in the world, so when your web site takes off and becomes popular, you're in good hands when you use Apache. This session covers tuning the Apache HTTP Server for performance. We will discuss server performance monitoring and benchmarking. Then we will cover configuration options that affect performance, system sizing and operating system tuning. Finally, we will discuss caching dynamic content with mod_cache.
As your web site grows in popularity, you will get to the point when one server doesn't cut it anymore. You need to add more boxes, and this session discusses several approaches to scaling out. We will cover webserver load balancing, SSL offload and separating application tiers. We will also discuss how to configure the Apache HTTP Server to front Apache Tomcat servers and how to load balance between Tomcat servers. Finally, we will deal with Java VM and database tuning.
All modern applications have two things in common:
They are distributed applications, and they all need to be tested.
This talk looks at what can be done on top of JUnit 3.x.
Areas of interest will include installation testing, functional testing,
interoperability testing, test choreography, and testing large-scale
and distributed systems.
On the way, database setup, the black-hole of GUI testing, XML
validation, and other problems will be examined.
This session provides an overview of Maven, a discussion of Maven's principles, what Maven can provide for your development team and the benefits of using Maven.
This session will be a balance of theory and live demonstration starting with a description of Maven's powerful project object model (POM) and show how the use of POM alleviates many of the traditional burdens in software development. By the end of this session you will have gained enough familiarity with Maven to create, build, and manage your own projects with Maven.
Apache 2 was the first version of the Apache HTTP Server designed to coexist happily in Windows and Unix-flavored operating systems. This session introduces users to run the Windows flavor of Apache and answers questions such as: How to install, then tune and secure the newest Apache 2.2 on Windows? How do Windows Services differ from Unix daemons? How to configure CGI, ISAPI, ASP and PHP on Apache Windows? Finally, this session presents the most common pitfalls encountered on Windows, and shows how to recover.
Cosmo is both, OSAF's general sharing server and a standards-compliant CalDAV calendar access server. Cosmo uses Jackrabbit, an Apache Incubator project, and other Apache components. This session explains how Cosmo works and how it communicates with clients like Chandler, Sunbird, and feed parsers, as well as with a WebUI. Also covered: IETF calendar standards, calendar interoperability, and related application standards development, status and plans.
Many projects use at least some of them - the Jakarta Commons libraries. Small reusable libraries simplifying the day-to-day work of thousands of java programmers. But over time the jakarta commons project has grown and the number of components makes it harder and harder to keep track. This session will try to give an overview of the components available and how the Jakarta Commons community is organized.
Since its creation the JAVA programming language evolved and is now used in
all performant server applications. Those applications often need to start
with the machine. They start in privileged mode and then run in unprivileged mode. They also need to be stopped in a controlled way.
Daemon is a small application that provides these feature and allows any JAVA
application to run as a Unix daemon or a windows service.
Well-known applications like Tomcat uses it when started as service or daemon.
Many group communication modules are built for a uniform communication model. In some cluster implementations this is often not the best solution to achieve the performance and scalability that is needed in heterogeneous clusters.
This presentation will introduce a Tomcat module, nicknamed Apache Tribes, which has addressed the need to support messaging with different attributes per message and will be used in the next version of Tomcat Clustering.
This presentation will highlight performance tuning issues that can significantly affect how your Apache Derby based system performs. Tips and tricks that will help you to avoid performance traps and get you maximum benefit out of the system will be presented. Attend this session to learn how simple yet often overlooked factors such as caching, locking, indexing, among others, can be tuned to alleviate common performance issues. Learn more about what kind of queries perform well in Derby and what are known weaknesses. Learn to decipher Derby optimizer plans and see how query rewrite improves.
The Apache Harmony project is building a compatible implementation of the Java SE platform. Founded with the intent of collaborating with other FLOSS Java SE communities the project has two primary goals:
- to create a full implementation of Java SE including JVM, class library and tools
- to implement the above by using a modular and component-containing architecture for the JVM and class library
This session will cover the background of the project and describe the community and technical issues encountered to date, provide a status report, and demonstrate the current codebase.
This session covers an overview of the Apache Geronimo server. This overview includes an architectural survey of the server which will show how the Geronimo server is put together as well as how other Open Source projects are included to create a fully functional J2EE server. We will also discuss the roadmap for Geronimo going forward as a server that supports a variety of deployments which include only the runtime components needed for their application. Finally, we will explore where users can position Geronimo today and in the future on the basis of the features current and planned.
With the release of JDO, Hibernate, TopLink, and EJB3 the landscape for persistence in Java has reached a critical point in history.
It is now an accepted fact that the momentum of persistence in Java is away from container-bound entities and towards POJOs; away from proprietary solutions and towards open source solutions; and yet the choice among implementations remains as confusing as ever.
This talk explores some of the key considerations for choosing a Java technology and an implementation for your persistence needs, focusing on the characteristics of several open source projects.
With the arrival of Cayenne in the Apache Incubator, the ASF has now five different O/R mapping frameworks: Torque, OJB, iBatis, JDO and Cayenne. This talk introduces all of them and shows their strenghts and weaknesses.
Apache Forrest harnesses the power
of Apache Cocoon to build a single
source publishing framework, based on
common standards (xml). It is easy to use and extend to suit a wide variety of
publishing needs.
Learn how to get started with
Forrest in a few easy steps.
Take a closer look at the design
concepts behind Forrest.
See that it can be easy to publish
a single document to very different
target media (Web, print, speech,
presentation slides).
Find out about 'smart' slide
presentions that beat Powerpoint (and even Open Office).
Apache FOP is the most popular XSL-FO implementation on the market. It is used to create documents in PDF, PostScript and other formats.
This session will give an overview of what Apache FOP can do today. It will show you how to approach integrating FOP into an application best and point to the existing tools around you that can help you with this task. You will get tips how best to organize the development of your documents/stylesheets, which editors can help you and what their limits are. Furthermore, you'll learn when the use of XSL-FO makes sense and when not.
The upcoming release 1.4 of the content management framework Apache Lenya introduces some powerful concepts and features to simplify the implementation of custom functionality. The session is directed to developers who are interested in building CMS-centered web applications. It covers the new usecase framework for user interaction, modules, and the new repository API. Basic knowledge of Java and XML is recommended.
Two standards for developing portals are currently available: the JSR 168 (Java portlet API) and WSRP (Web Services for remote portlets). This session introduces these standards and shows their potential. The second part of this session presents an overview of several portal related projects at Apache: the Apache Portals Project is hosting most portal related projects like Jetspeed, Pluto, WSRP4J, Bridges - but of course other projects like Cocoon or Struts are included as well. You will get an overview helping you in choosing the best Apache open source solution for your portal project.
This session gives an overview of the Apache Cocoon web application framework. It demonstrates how to build complex web applications from the ground, but also covers the handling of the application flow and the creation of complex forms. The session also discusses important topics like managing and structuring your project.
Portlets bridges enable the use of legacy CGI scripts as portlets as well as the use of other languages than Java to interact with the portal server. The python bridge uses python to get tight python-java integration and includes python modules that enable writing process oriented portlets in a rather intuitive way. With python generators, the programmer can abstract away the request-response cycle of HTTP, and get a more intuitive flow of control for webapps.
WebDAV is like a network file share running on your Apache web server.
You'll learn how to install, configure, and use mod_dav. DAV can be used as an FTP replacement, as a networked file server, or as part of calendaring with iCal.
In this session attendees will learn techniques for creating robust, maintainable, scalable PHP and MySQL applications on top of Apache. In this 2.0 version of the tutorial I'll specifically look at the challenges of applying these principles in the Web 2.0 sphere. Topics include best practice architectures for PHP and MySQL web apps, managing legacy applications and maintaining code, and testing and debugging in the Web 2.0 environment. Attendees should walk away with a better understanding of engineering web applications.

Re: Smoky Mountains
Le Conte is winner! Busy, but a fantastic hike. I did it on a memorial day and started very early, like 6 AM and found it to be very secluded. I took the ALum Cave trail up and the Boulevard trail over to the AT with a brief hike up Mt. Kephart to the Jump Off (nice view) and back to New Foundland Gap... which was very busy by then.
A fantastic day hike.

Re: Smoky Mountains
IMO...LeConte's best route is from Newfound Gap to Boulevard Trail (side trip to the Jumpoff!!!!) and then onto the Summit. If you have two cars or hitch-hike, descend the Alum Cave Trail. I've climbed LeConte numerous times and this is, by far, the best route. Fewer people (after the AT) and greater views. Plus you climb Mt. Kephart on the AT (a 6er!). Also, don't forget to pick up your rock to place on the top....It really should be the highest peak in the park! LOL! Over a mile of elevation gain from Gatlinburg....BEAUTIFUL!!! Packrat is right on!

Probably better in the fall, but if you're looking for some off trail hiking you could try Porters Creek up to Charlies Bunion.

Re: Smoky Mountains
Thanks to all for the suggestions. We (Mrs. SouthernFried) ended up doing a few miles on the AT from Newfound Gap and then finished it off with Chimney Tops! Mrs. SouthernFried isn't as in to hiking as am I so I was impressed that she managed to make it up Chimney Tops...that is one steep hike!
I'll be posting a trip report on Chimney Tops in the coming days if anyone is interested.
Thanks again y'all!

DEFIANCE A local woman was killed and a local man was hurt in a two-car crash Monday morning at Banner School Road and Carpenter Road three miles north of Defiance, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.
Stacie R. Heilman, 20, of Defiance, driver of one of the cars, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Terry L. Oyer, 55, also of Defiance, driver of the second car, was airlifted to Toledo Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition, troopers said.
The crash occurred about 7:40 a.m. in Adams Township.
The Heilman car was northbound on Carpenter when it failed to yield at a stop sign to the Oyer car, which was eastbound on Banner School. The Heilman car entered the intersection and was struck broadside by the Oyer car, troopers said.
The cars then went off the northeast corner of the intersection, where the Oyer car struck a tree and the Heilman car struck a cement culvert, a road sign, and some trees.
Ms. Heilman was not wearing a seat belt, troopers said. They did not say whether Mr. Oyer was wearing one.
Defiance is about 50 miles southwest of Toledo.

IDF Declares Death of 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin, [hy'd]
Late Saturday night, the Goldin family of Kfar Saba received the sad news that a special IDF committee had concluded their son, 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin, had fallen in combat the day before.
The 23 year old Givati platoon commander was killed in battle during the attack carried out by Hamas during a cease fire forced on Israel by the United States and the United Nations on Friday, August 1. The family was told there were enough pathological findings at the scene to declare their son's death.
All Jewish laws, religious observances and medical criteria were taken into account prior to the ruling by a special committee headed by IDF Chief Rabbi Rafi Peretz, the IDF said in a statement to media.
A spokesperson for the family told media after the IDF announcement to thank the people of Israel for their support and to ask everyone to attend their son's funeral "to accompany him on his final journey."
Details are to be announced.
Goldin died in Rafah when a Hamas suicide bomber emerged from a tunnel near the Givati force and detonated himself as a diversion. Additional terrorists then attacked Goldin's force, killing two soldiers – Major Benaya Sarel and Staff Sergeant Liel Gidoni.
The terrorists then dragged Goldin into a tunnel and later claimed he was alive.
But on Saturday a spokesman from the Izz a-Din al-Qassam military wing of Hamas said the group had lost contact with the terror cell that had been sent to ambush the platoon. He said they believed they were dead, and probably Goldin as well.
As soon as Goldin was dragged into the tunnel, other members of his platoon raced in after him to try and prevent the abduction, but they were too late.
During that search, the unit found Goldin's personal effects during the initial search, 20 meters underground.
Their next move was to prevent the terrorists from taking Goldin farther away; they began firing in all directions and destroyed targets in as many areas as possible, including buildings, vehicles and sending smoke down the tunnel in order to kill the terrorists who had taken their commander. It is probable that Goldin also died in that effort but highly unusual for Hamas to admit that as well.
It is not clear why, in fact, the terror group is, in fact, not claiming they have a live captive – or any captive at all.
The soldier's family was notified in person by Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, along with the head of the IDF Personnel Directorate, Maj.-Gen. Orna Barbivai and Chief Military Rabbi Peretz.
"The IDF will continue to support the family, and escort them through the grieving period," the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said in its statement.
Hundreds of Israelis were gathered outside the Goldin home earlier in the evening to show their support for the family. The parents of the three Israeli teens who were kidnapped and murdered by Hamas terrorists in Gush Etzion in June, (Eyal Yifrach, Naftali Frenkel and Gilad Sha'ar) also came to visit with the family and show their support. "We're with them during this difficult time," Avraham Frenkel, father of Naftali Frenkel, said.Hana Levi Julian

I'm going to get alot of flak over this but should we not increase the age when Canadian citizens are legally able to vote ? Why you ask ? I have a couple daughters, one that has just become able to vote and the other is 3 years behind. I'd be intruding upon their rights as Canadian citizens in spite of their likelihood of voting for a candidate that has good values. The problem is that many parents do not train up their children properly and it is left up to the education system to do so. Therein lies the main issue.
Our education system is a very liberal oriented environment that is becoming more relational in their training methodology than in facts. It has become more important to teach the kids to stand up for their rights, rather than train them on the regulations of our Canadian legal system(s). It is like babysitting them, training them how to think rather than giving them the facts and letting them come to their own conclusions.
Ok, it isn't all about the education system. The mainstream media, TV, movies and radio stations are mainly slanted towards a liberal perspective. Now, it isn't just the college and university kids that are watching or listening to this stuff but at least when we are older, we have made the intellectual adjustments in our thinking to withstand the junk coming at us from these media types. Those in college and university, while intelligent enough, are inundated with garbage that warps their minds, at least for the short term. It is only after a period of time when they can mull things over in their minds, that they can come to their own conclusions.
So, what am I saying, that these young folk don't have their own conclusions ? I did mention them as intelligent right ? Well, intelligence can be understood as someone having an abundance of knowledge or information but that doesn't mean that one can decipher that information appropriately. Now, a liberal minded person might say "what exactly is appropriate" and everyone else should probably question that as well. Hey, even liberals can get it right sometimes. All that said, I'm not going to get into that part of the discussion here but will leave that to another post. My conclusion will therefore not be fully supported until I do.
The better answer, rather than increasing the age to vote, would be to train our children better as parents. We could also maintain a good relationship with our kids throughout their lives so that a good healthy influence is set over them even when they go into the war zone, such as the educational system. Heck, changing the educational system back to what it used to be, would be a great idea as well. Yeah, good luck with that right ?
Here is a neat video, one of many that I can find and may add to this post in the future :

Would you allow your teenage son or daughter spend the night with his or her steady partner in your home? A study of parents found that while 91% of American parents said no, 93% of Dutch parents said yes (Schalet, 2011). This dramatic difference in opinions is mainly due to cultural differences in attitudes about sexuality. While American parents typically avoid discussions about teen sex, Dutch parents "normalize" sexuality with their children by openly discussing. Sex education in Dutch schools is comprehensive and mandatory. American parents, on the other hand, often bury their heads in the sand and don't think about what's going on with their teens. Many want their teens to wait until marriage but rarely discuss it with them. I'd like you to take a second and think about yourself as a 16-year-old. Were you interested in sex? Were you sexually active? Once the hormones kick in during adolescence, sexual desire and interest can be a run-away train. Ignoring it or telling kids to just say no doesn't stop the train.
I have always been fascinated by cultural differences in attitudes about teen sexuality. Recently I had the chance to talk with several Dutch teens and parents about co-ed sleepovers. The Dutch parents told me they would rather their teens experience sex in the privacy of their own bedroom. Even more interesting was how parents handled their teen's "afternoon delight" sessions, when the teens came out of their bedrooms with flushed faces and messy hair. "There's nothing wrong with sex," several of the teens told me. "We know our parents do it and they know we do it. We all know we're doing it so what's the big deal?" Another 17-year-old told me that she had recently asked her mom for a double bed since it was uncomfortable to sleep with her boyfriend on her twin bed. Her mom agreed to a new double bed but only if they could find one that didn't squeak and keep the rest of the family up all night.
My interest in this topic is also personal—my teenage daughter has a pretty serious boyfriend. They can't seem to keep their hands off each other. Their intensity will certainly continue to grow and at some point they may decide to take their touching to the next level. I have been talking to my daughter about sex since she was old enough to listen—we openly discuss sexual behaviors, attitudes, risks, sexual pleasure, as well as her virginity. She is well aware that her virginity is a gift that she will one day give to someone. Is she ready to have sex now? Is this guy the "one"? These are questions only she can answer. But thinking about this made me also wonder where most American teens have sex if they aren't allowed to do it in their homes. Where do they do it?
In my preliminary research on college students and the loss of virginity, I found the majority of students loose their virginity someplace outside their home (Carroll, 2012). Common locations include backseats of cars, basement floors, the woods, movie theaters, or friends' houses. What lessons do teens learn about sex when they are forced to explore it in unsafe locations where there is a constant fear of getting caught? How can the experience be relaxed or pleasurable under such circumstances? Does this create more guilt and embarrassment for teens, making sex more forbidden?
Co-ed sleepovers may never be accepted in the U.S. but there is something for us to learn from the Dutch. Statistics show that the Netherlands has the world's lowest rates of teenage pregnancy, abortion, and childbearing (Feijoo, 2008). While co-ed sleepovers might not be the only reason for these statistics, the Dutch are certainly doing something right.
