Police charge second suspect in convenience store theft
SARANAC LAKE – Village police have arrested a second suspect in the theft of $2,500 from a local convenience store.
Margarita W. Bonet, 22, of Saranac Lake, was arrested at 9:12 a.m. Wednesday and charged with second-degree burglary and fourth-degree grand larceny, both of which are felonies, and fifth-degree conspiracy, a misdemeanor.
Police Chief Bruce Nason said Bonet conspired with Robert W. Cruz, 26, of Saranac Lake, to steal $2,500 cash from a convenience store where Cruz was working on Nov. 25, 2012. Nason declined to name the store.
The chief said Cruz and another person were working in the store when the other employee went to a different area of the building. Cruz then allegedly contacted Bonet, who entered the store from a back door, took the money from the counter in an office and left, Nason said.
The investigation is ongoing. Nason said police are attempting to verify some additional information to determine if anyone else was involved in the theft.
Bonet was arraigned in village court and remanded to the Franklin County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond.
Cruz was arrested Tuesday on similar charges. He was arraigned and sent to jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond.

Watching the words
We Americans disagree, sometimes fiercely, about government policy and priorities. Liberals argue with conservatives. Republicans do battle with Democrats.
But on one thing, we must for the good of our children and grandchildren concur: No politician can be permitted to control the free press upon which Americans have depended for more than two centuries for the very information we need to insist the government do what we tell it.
President Barack Obama's administration has embarked on a campaign of manipulating – and intimidating – the news media. That ought to worry all Americans of all political persuasions.
Obama is not the first president to attempt to control the press. Most have focused on individual reporters, newspapers or broadcast outlets, however. This White House has adopted a blanket approach.
About a year ago, the Justice Department seized call records for about 20 telephones used by The Associated Press at the organization's offices in Washington, New York and Connecticut. At the same time it was revealed other reporters had been targeted. One television journalist's phone records and personal email messages were obtained. Even some of his family members' communications were examined.
The AP episode may well have been intended to send a message to print journalists. The AP is among the world's most important news collecting operations. Many newspapers, including this one, rely on it for national and international news.
Now, the administration has turned to intimidating broadcast journalists as a group.
Federal Communications Commission officials have devised a plan to question television news reporters and editors – sometimes visiting their newsrooms to do so – about how they select stories to be covered. The agency also plans to check on whether television news departments cover "critical information needs" – as defined, of course, by the FCC. And the agency wants to know how well broadcast news serves "vulnerable-disadvantaged populations" – again, as defined by the FCC.
No television or radio station in the U.S. can operate without an FCC license. Again, a message is being sent: Operate your newsrooms as this agency desires, or face the consequences.
We Americans disagree on many issues. One on which we simply must agree, however, is that no government can be permitted to control the free flow of information.
Fortunately, the FCC has backed off the plan for now, but that doesn't mean it won't be resurrected in the future under a different frontispiece.

Topic: saving, polymorphism, and repetition
I've been experimenting with polymorphic relations a little, and so far have got a working voting system for multiple models. The thing that gets me itchy, and that I dont seem to find examples about, is what the best practice would be for storing results into the table.
so, as I have votes from multiple models, that all contain the same reocurring values, the save action looks pretty much the same for each controller. So far I've been driven to write a vote action in each controller I wanted the function in, because it needs to know the model associated before saving, but this is terribly repetitive, and I'd really like to end up with a votes controller with only one save action, maybe by submitting the model name from the vote form to the action along the vote itself? Is this even in good practice or is there a better way that I'm not aware of?

Nvidia Corp. on Monday launched its second graphics processor that belongs to the Fermi generation. The new code-named GF104 chip aims at performance mainstream market and will compete against such solutions as ATI Radeon HD 5830.
The new GF104 graphics processing unit (GPU) powers GeForce GTX 460-series graphics cards with 1GB or 768MB of onboard GDDR5 memory. Called "the gamers' sweet spot", the GeForce GTX 460 graphics chip sports 336 stream processors (configured as 48 SPs per streaming multiprocessor), 56 texture units, 7 polymorph engines for tessellation as well as 24 (for 768MB version) or 32 (for 1GB ) render back ends.
Just like the other members of the GeForce GTX 400-series family, the novelties support such proprietary technologies as CUDA-accelerated software, 3D Vision stereo-3D output and PhysX engine for processing of physics effects in select video games.
The new graphics boards consume up to 160W, according to Nvidia, and require two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The power consumption of the products seems to be quite high considering their pricing, but Nvidia hopes that gamers will still acquire the new GeForce GTX 460-series products despite of possible necessity to upgrade their power supply units. The 1GB board will cost $229, whereas the 768MB version will be priced at $199, Nvidia said. Potentially, both versions offer better price-to-performance ratio than competing ATI Radeon HD 5830.
The GeForce GTX 460 768MB version is available starting today from the world's leading add-in card partners, including ASL, Asustek Computer, Colorful, ECS, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, Jetway, KFA2, Leadtek, MSI, Palit, Point of View, PNY, Sparkle, Zotac and others. Wider availability of the GeForce GTX 460 1GB is expected by July 26, 2010.

Skip to comments.Supreme Court upholds DNA swabbing of people under arrest
Posted on 06/03/2013 7:41:56 AM PDT by BuckeyeTexan
The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the police practice of taking DNA samples from people who have been arrested for a serious offense but not convicted of a crime, ruling that it amounts to the 21st century version of fingerprinting.
The ruling was 5-4. Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative, joined three of the courts more liberal members Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan in dissenting.
The five justices in the majority ruled that DNA sampling, after an arrest for a serious offense and when officers bring the suspect to the station to be detained in custody, does not violate the Fourth Amendments prohibition of unreasonable searches.
At an oral argument in February, Justice Samuel Alito called the question perhaps the most important criminal procedure case the court had taken up in decades.
(Excerpt) Read more at usnews.nbcnews.com ...
"for a serious offense"
Be prepared to interpret this down to jaywalking over the next few years.
Another article on the SCOTUS decision on DNA testing.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
FReepmail me to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the SCOTUS ping list.
Every dirty cop will be abusing this ruling soon. As if the police being able to lie obtain information wasn't bad enough.
Add another group the anti-Constitutional crowd.
The 5 no doubt feared some perp getting sprung only to discover years later he was guilty of 25 rapes.
Breyer's position shifting after being the victim of a home invasion?
Pretty difficult to argue with. If there was a constitutional issue here, it should have been made when fingerprinting became prevalent.
DNA can be used for some additional somewhat unsavory purposes, but simply for ID it is very similar to fingerprinting.
Given the police can flat-out lie to you, and that they have been known to plant marijuana and/or guns, I wonder if they won't start planting DNA too...
Decision here:
"Held: When officers make an arrest supported by probable cause to hold for a serious offense and bring the suspect to the station to be de-tained in custody, taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestees DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing,a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth
...Marylands Act authorizes law en-forcement authorities to collect DNA samples from, as relevant here, persons charged with violent crimes,including first-degree assault. A sample may not be added to a database before an individual is ar-raigned, and it must be destroyed if, e.g.,he is not convicted...
...The framework for deciding the issue presented is well established. Using a buccal swab inside a persons cheek to obtain a DNA sample is a search under the Fourth Amendment. And the fact that the intrusion is negligible is of central relevance to determining whether the search is reasonable, the ultimate measure of the constitutionality of a governmental search, Vernonia School Dist. 47Jv. Acton, 515 U. S. 646, 652. Because the need for a warrant is greatly diminished here, where the arrestee was already in valid police custody for a serious offense supported by probable cause, the search is analyzed by reference to reasonableness, not individualized suspicion, Samsonv. California, 547 U. S. 843, 855, n. 4, and reasonableness is determined by weighing the promotion of legitimate govern-mental interests against the degree to which [the search] intrudes upon an individuals privacy, Wyomingv. Houghton, 526 U. S. 295, 300. Pp. 710."
At first glance, I'm inclined to agree with the decision. The 4th Amendment was meant to prevent general warrants, which lasted as long as the king was alive and allowed a search of your property at any time.
I know that a significant percentage of FReepers won't agree with this decision, but I agree with this overturning of the Maryland Court of Appeals' ruling that such "searches" are unconstitutional.
I'd argue that a fingerprint does not contain information on heredity, propensity to disease, and all of the defining information of one's physical composition. So, not really similar.
I'm conflicted about this decision. Fingerprints, blood, BAC, hair, DNA, iris scans, tatoo pics. What's next when technology allows it? Semen, brain waves?
"...ruling that it amounts to the 21st century version of fingerprinting"
Because the government could always abuse fingerprints to determine paternity, look for genetic markers that predict cancer, etc.
Yep, DNA is just like fingerprints.
So if the "probable cause" reason for searching falls through, then the DNA info gained is inadmissable?
Also, what is so hard about getting a legitimate warrant is the suspect is detained?
I speak as someone who has their DNA 'on file' (we put blood samples on cards in the Army, which could later be used to identify our remains).
I don't feel real good about it. I can imagine a world where the HHS gets their hands on my DNA, and finds a way to raise my insurance rates, if it finds a genetic marker for cancer. I can imagine a world where the federal governemnt starts to build a national genetic family tree...for the purposes of retribution. It might discover that my great, great, great grandfather owned slaves...and prescribe that I pay into a repparations fund. I can imagine a world where the federal government identifies that I have a genetic predisposition to being violent...and I can no longer pass a background check.
This is huge - the government (which I have little trust towards) has just been given the key code to our genetic code. The socialistic possibilities of this are endless.
And it is nooooothing like fingerprints...which are good for one solitary purpose, and nothing else - establishing identity.
The problem is not in taking the DNA and comparing it with existing samples of DNA taken from crime scenes. The problem is the retention of that sample and its information, not just at the local, but the state and federal level.
The feds in particular want a permanent database of the DNA of all people living in the US, and even that of people who visit the US. It's just another part of their obsessive voyeurism and illusion of micromanaging control over people.
It is way past the point of reasonableness, and is in the realm of mental illness. Something that should be taken into account when you hear the pleadings of those that crave ever more information about the lives of their subjects.
And something that should definitely be ended by those people interested in limited government.
"Marylands Act authorizes law enforcement authorities to collect DNA samples from, as relevant here, persons charged with violent crimes,including first-degree assault. A sample may not be added to a database before an individual is arraigned, and it must be destroyed if, e.g.,he is not convicted"
Is the law obeyed or are samples kept? Are samples reported to the feds but discarded locally? I don't think fingerprints are discarded, they are reported to the feds conviction or no.
"Id argue that a fingerprint does not contain information on heredity, propensity to disease, and all of the defining information of ones physical composition. So, not really similar."
Just wait until the IRS gets to use this information to determine your health insurance rates, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if the IRS doesn't eventually demand DNA tests for everyone.
taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestees DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.
No it's not the same. You don't lose anything physical with fingerprinting or photography. With this you lose some cells, so it's not just a search, it's a seizure. And a seizure without due process or just compensation.
I know a few cells aren't much to be seized, but where do you draw the new line and what keeps them from moving it again once it is drawn? Remember, we already had a line, at least in the opinion of some, and this changes it.
Anyone who thinks this is a good idea obviously trusts Government FAR more than I do.
I wodner if it's possible to kick the Supeme court leeches out of hteir jobs for deriliction of duty, and appoint others with actual morals and ethics and hwo undersatand our constitution and who aren't owned by the govenrment for skeletons i ntheir closets?
This latest rulign should leave NO doubt that our supreme court is now a majority of TRAITORS to the peopel TRAITORS to the constitution
[[Id argue that a fingerprint does not contain information on heredity, propensity to disease, and all of the defining information of ones physical composition. So, not really similar.]]
Absolutely, You just nailed it- There's a masive push by our govenrment to pass laws which will give our govenrment the 'right' to bar citizens from owning guns, (and apaprently fro mexcersizign hteir free speech too) and htis collection of DNA WILL BE antoher tool at their disposal for barring someone they deem 'unfit' from owning a gun
A couple of years ago our govenrment was puttign together a MASSIVE nationwide network of medical record, and at hte same time doctors began handing out anti-depressents, anti-anxiety, anti-psychotic drugs liek htey were candy- for everythign from actual depression or mental issues, to thigns as minor as aches and pains- claiming that unbalanced seratonine levels 'coudl cause minor pains'-
This was NO accident- all those folks who were prescribed those anti- drugs are now in a database with a red flag beside their name and albeeled as 'possible threat'
Now we have our governemtn collecting DNA which WILL do just what you said- be markers for any history of anything- even slight depression- which might have run in a family, but which NEVER caused any problems (despite thsoe members havign owned guns- but now oru govenrment WILL intervein and confiscate the guns)
Think it can't happen Folks? Think this is all just a 'bunch of hysteria over nothing'? It IS happening- NY is confiscating guns from folks hwo were on depression medicines but who have commited no crimes- They are cofniscatign guns WITHOUT due process and WITHOUT any actual professional diagnosis' of depression- Other states will sooon follow
[[I dont feel real good about it. I can imagine a world where the HHS gets their hands on my DNA, and finds a way to raise my insurance rates, if it finds a genetic marker for cancer.]]
Excellent point- The potential for abuses are massive- I'm sure the left will argue htough "Well, ethically, you shoudl find out if you are goign to be a liability because of a genetic issue, and if so, you shoudl be obligated to 'pay your fair share'"
See where that is going?
[[I can imagine a world where the federal governemnt starts to build a national genetic family tree...]]
Pssst- the tree already has rooted itself
[[I can imagine a world where the federal government identifies that I have a genetic predisposition to being violent...and I can no longer pass a background check.]]
AgaIN- the [potential for abuses by such a system are frightening- If they can't get you via medical records, they may still be able to ban you from anythign requiring a backgroudn check via DNA records fro mtheir database
[[And it is nooooothing like fingerprints...which are good for one solitary purpose, and nothing else - establishing identity]]
[[I know a few cells arent much to be seized, but where do you draw the new line and what keeps them from moving it again once it is drawn? Remember, we already had a line, at least in the opinion of some, and this changes it.]]
That's thje tactic of hte left- keep movign hte goalposts until no right are left- and incredibly, Americans keep votign for htis loss of rights-
Not only cops, DNA can be planted by anyone.
Cigarette butts, hair from a brush for example. It's not possible to do that with a finger print.
Talk about an easy way to set up an enemy.
As stated, DNA can be used for more than ID. But if that's all it's used for, it's pretty much the same thing.
Sure is. Judges can be impeached and removed from office using the exact same procedure as for executive branch officials. Hasn't been used very often, though.
Game over.
The USA is now a Gestapo Totalitarian State.
USA is f***ed.
And don't be surprised if it gets shared with the IRS to 'facilitate the accuracy' of your Obammycare.
Along those lines, isn't it curious how the Innocence Project can use DNA to free people from 'Death Row', but it seems DNA is never convincing enough to use for an expedient execution?
Those wackobirds? They'll be the first to get tested.
They've probably got most people's DNA in a data base already. Ever lick a stamp? This will just make it where they don't have to keep it secret any more.
Exactly and if it ends up in an Obamacare file, oh Ooops.
I like your posts.
In all fairness, W. Bush was responsible for the vile HIPAA, which is a police state fantasy, stripping away the privacy of medical records until it is repealed, plus a generation, as undoubtedly some bureaucrats would go to lengths to preserve its data.
It isn't being used for that purpose.. so again not really different.
At which point you could sue the government for handing over your DNA to private companies and would win the case.
Thank You
I wasn't presuming that any of the potential abuses would be carried out by private companies. Government can do it all.
Currently they cannot raise your rates on insurance.
These are all predictions for how this could be abused in the future.
So you are not only assuming that your DNA will be used against you but that also the government will take over all forms of insurance? let's assume you are correct and the government takes over health insurance. The court has well defined law that says you can't take something from someone for one thing and use it for another. Besides it wouldn't really hold down healthcare prices, not enough people are arrested for "serious crimes" in order to do that.
"So you are not only assuming that your DNA will be used against you but that also the government will take over all forms of insurance?"
Well...yes. Hasn't the government practically done that already? Hint: See if Hobby Lobby can offer private insurance without paying for birth control.
I don't think it is a stretch at all to contemplate a world where the HHS states that private insurance companies can't prescribe a medicine for a patient who is genetically disposed to a life ending condition. They already dictate all kinds of stuff...and will increase their power in the very near future by penalizing people monetarily for not having 'enough' insurance, and penalizing them for having a 'cadillac' insurance plan.
Its all about control....which is why it doesn't matter whether or not it actually holds down healthcare costs.

Obesity in children may be one of the toughest social issues facing America today. How does an applied social psychologist even begin to deal with such a sensitive and complex problem? One cultural group at a time, according to Dr. Katrina Bledsoe.
"The way someone is culturally socialized can actually enhance their health longevity," Dr. Bledsoe explains. "We usually think of certain cultural groups as being at risk for certain diseases, but there's also a positive perspective to the way people are brought up. There are practices within a culture to preserve that culture, and these can be used to increase positive health outcomes. In many ethnic groups, 'health' and 'obesity' aren't always considered mutually exclusive. Many of the kids we work with in Trenton consider weight as a part of the way you look, and don't tie it to health. If someone can behave in a way that's 'healthy,' even if they are obese, you have to offer them other reasons to pursue good health behavior. Focus on having a good family, on their spirituality, and so on—all cultures value these things, but each puts the emphasis in a different way."
Katrina's interest in health began as an interest as a doctoral student at CGU. She began studying drug prevention programs, in particular those concerning adolescents of color, as part of a National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism Training Grant. During her time at The College of New Jersey, this focus broadened into an interest in public health, and has resulted in her current work on both obesity and sexual health behavior.
"The Trenton Obesity Prevention Study, which we call 'TOPS', looks at reducing obesity in urban adolescents in Trenton, New Jersey. It's rigorous social science, but it's not 'Ivory Tower' in the negative sense. One of the most exciting things is that we see the people we're working with up front. If we're 'number crunching,' we are crunching numbers that we got directly from the people of Trenton. If I'm talking about Body Mass Index of Trenton High School students, it's because I measured many of the kids myself. And if we start talking about a political situation, our team has talked with the local stakeholders in person. You have to meet people in this kind of work, so you see first-hand what kind of effect you have on their situation."
This work has propelled Bledsoe into other areas such as intervention and program development. "What we're developing is a learning tool for students to become more involved in determining their own health. There is an education component and a physical education component too. In addition, we're using innovative technologies such as Geographic Information Systems to get the community involved." She plans to continue the work as she transitions from The College of New Jersey to PRES Associates, a private research and evaluation group that grapples with the evaluation of social and education programs across the country.

In short: Big, friendly and great funDate of review: September 25, 2011
In short: Absolutely fantastic day out!Date of review: September 25, 2011
In short: Great North... what more to say?In full: My first GNR and I'll be back for more! The support from people was second to none, the water stations were excellent and it was lovely running with such a group of people. The organisation at the start and finish were excellent although traffic at the end in South Shields was very heavy (what else can you expect?) I have a few gripes; too few toilets at the start, too many walkers in the front zones (people should be realistic about their timezone especially with chip races!), a few bottlenecks where it was difficult to pass, and a poor goodybag.The medal and ribbon were also poor!Date of review: September 25, 2011
In short: well ! its the G N R !!!In full: What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning. The folks of the north east sure know how to party!! Will be back again next year.Date of review: September 24, 2011
In short: If you only ever do one half marathon, do this one - fantastic!In full: This was my 6th time and I'll continue to go back year after year. Well organised, great warm-up, start very well managed (I got a high 5 from Mo Farah too! :-)). Lindisfarne's 'Run for Home' and the band playing the Blaydon Races within the first mile always spur me on; the crowds are truly amazing - generous with their support, encouragement and jelly babies, even in the pouring rain! Finished in 2:07:09 this year, I'm determined to get in under 2 hours as I've done elsewhere - just need to try harder next time :-) Thanks you to everyone who plays their part in such a fabulous race.Date of review: September 24, 2011
In short: Great race - Organisation could be betterIn full: What a great day. This was our first GNR so we took every thing nice and easy. We are not the fastest runners and were alicated green pen positions.We get the Metro in from Sunderland at just gone 8 arriving at the start area with no problems by 9. Soaked up the atmosphere, queued for the loos (only 5mins), packed bags on bus (great idea much better than lories) and went to the pen area, before entering we used the open air grass loos, yes both M+F like many others. GNR need to put loos done the side of the Mway. Note - a person looks so differant on those mega big screens having a discret pee :-) The warm up great were else in the world are you one of 50K+ people doing arobics on a motorway on a Sunday morning.Tip - Choose the LEFT lane at the start, it has one less hill.It took us 25mins to cross the start line after the gun but ha hoy we had a great crowd around us.The ogy ogy's under the bridges I can't discribe the lift, you need to experance first hand.Course in general good - supporters great - great to see so many happy people in this day, runners and supporters. The high and low (small kids) fives, the jelly babies, the kids squirting water, I'll get you back next year. The rain counldn't even stop the smiles.Supprised by the amount of 'Blue lights'. I hope everone is well.The only disappointment was the FINISH. No not our times but the FINISH AREA etc. I accept it has to be laid out over a large area but it was - We've finished, great what now! - walk for 1/4 mile to get out of the area to the supporters - They couln'd see any thing at the finish because they were held right back. The atomosphere along the last mile was terrific turn right on to the grass and it had all gone. Come on GNR let the crowds in, even the smaller events get this right.Major gripe - Tee Shirts. Were were the x Large ones? also cheap White Cotton. Nice Tecno shirts (worth having) seem to be becoming the norm now ever at lower priced events.All in all, yes we did enjoy the GNR, yes we will do it again.Many thanks to all the Police, Red Cross, St John's, Doctors and all the thousands of other volunteers that went in to making it such a great day for us 54000 runners.Date of review: September 24, 2011

In short: The atnosphere is amazing. No other un like it!In full: It's essential to get to the start early to allow enough time to get to the loos and to your alloted pen. The atmosphere is amazing, made all the more special by the Red Arrows. I particularly appreciated their fly over at the start this year as I'm always over the Tyne Bridge by the time they fly over.Yes, the queues are long at the finish for the metro and ferry but I don't let it dampen the day. I got a PB of 1.41.12 this year and thought the atmosphere, friendliness and crowds were better than ever. I went to the pasta party on the Saturday for the first time this year. Whilst I loved the athletics, I wasn't overly fussed by the pasta party/runners tent.Date of review: September 23, 2011
In short: Expected moreIn full: After a huge number of halfs this one was a shambles at the start, a nightmare for specatators but couldn't fault the red arrows and cheering crowds.I was an orange number. I arrived at my pen 10mins before close and was physically pushed back by a man in high-vis and told to go to the crossing. Got to the crossing and another man in high-vis was closing it early. Went back to the orange pen high-vis man who had then sealed the entry and started physcially pushing away runners - hard enough to knock a young girl down and make her cry.As an organge runner planning on a decent time race I then had to walk passed the whites who were also now sealed and ended up waiting outside the end barriers to filter in to the start. A hugely stressful start.And to the reviewer who said he was upset that oranges had given incorrect times and he had to overtake them all - that is why. I was not the only person starting in a random colour pen.Course was nice, crowds were good, bands were good, fun water fights with kids squirting bottles. A crowded course so no huge PB potential (unless you are lucky enough to get in your pen up front maybe).Got to the end and was disappointed to see the crowds at the finish line were held way back by fences. No grandstand, no big finish, no-one volunteer saying well done, just sort of done. Got my bag, medal etc then went to try and exit - I couldn't. The exit was so narrow I got kicked and pushed.The reunion area was chaos, couldn't see my boyf anywhere for the crowds around my letter and almost started crying.Luckily he found me. He had only just got there. It took two hours to get from the start to finish for him. There were no signs for him to get to reunion area from the station, nor any signs to the big beer tent he could have waited in while it rained.The instructions that arrived said the pasta party the day before was at gateshead quay. That's it. The place is huge and took ages to find where it was amongst the chaos of crowds, and then it wasn't really worth the effort.The ferry took 90mins to queue. The metro took 2 hours. The queue was still there at 6pm as we watched from the pub.I get it is a big event and difficult to organise and I get the busy course makes it a big slower, but I really did expect more from a 30+year iconic race that charges so much. Want a good quality organised half, try Reading or Coventry or Nottingham instead. Has all the pros and is far more slick.Date of review: September 23, 2011

Women's Exercises Men Should Do - Ballet
Though ballet is normally seen as a form of dance for girls and women, many of the moves used to master it help keep the dancers in shape. These exercises can be adapted to help men in their everyday workouts, whether or not they are interested in ballet. In this WatchMojo.com video, health and fitness expert Annick Robinson shows us that ballet moves aren't necessarily reserved for women.

Many people once viewed politics merely as a form entertainment. We could all collectively laugh at the likes of Edwin Edwards even if he was notoriously corrupt. Many folks in Louisiana embraced the former governor for his antics and not merely for his ability to fix every problem in the state. I'm certainly not defending Edwards's criminal past, but now we look to every politician to solve society's problems, as if politics could. Because politics is now life and death for so many, it has become too serious for entertainers.
Now the deaths of famous people like Robin Williams are routinely politicized. You've probably seen this if you pay attention to social media, 24 hour news shows, or talk radio. Over a decade ago, the Paul Wellstone funeral turned into partisan pep rally for rigid collectivism and electoral success. Politics is everywhere and now in everything. It's saturated in sports, education, the military, the weather, and history, to just name a few. My own alma mater, The University of Mississippi, is looking to shed its well known and affectionate nickname "Ole Miss" because it could be perceived as politically incorrect.
Now that death is becoming more and more politicized, it's a powerful reminder of the surge of secularism in society. Death needs to be politicized to give death meaning given that politics is becoming all consuming and the pinnacle of life for so many. Politicizing death expresses, perhaps unbeknown to those guilty of it, this sentiment that there is little or nothing of worth beyond this world. More important to them is the here and now and attempting the impossible, fixing society through politics.

Background Childhood trauma exposure has been associated with deficits in cognitive functioning. The influence of timing of exposure on the magnitude and persistence of deficits is not well understood. The impact of exposure in early development has been especially under-investigated. This study examined the impact of interpersonal trauma exposure (IPT) in the first years of life on childhood cognitive functioning.
Methods Children (N=206) participating in a longitudinal birth cohort study were assessed prospectively for exposure to IPT (physical or emotional abuse or neglect, sexual abuse, witnessing maternal partner violence) between birth and 64 months. Child intelligent quotient (IQ) scores were assessed at 24, 64 and 96 months of age. Race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, maternal IQ, birth complications, birth weight and cognitive stimulation in the home were also assessed.
Results IPT was significantly associated with decreased cognitive scores at all time points, even after controlling for socio-demographic factors, maternal IQ, birth complications, birth weight and cognitive stimulation in the home. IPT in the first 2 years appeared to be especially detrimental. On average, compared with children not exposed to IPT in the first 2 years, exposed children scored one-half SD lower across cognitive assessments.
Conclusion IPT in early life may have adverse effects on cognitive development. IPT during the first 2 years may have particular impact, with effects persisting at least into later childhood.

I mix in Asiago cheese all the time...good flavor addition to the 'ol mozz, eh?
Looks great, Bert.This is obviously the MPO, right? Are you blocking the non MPO portion of the grill with foil and/or something else? About how many times are you turning the pies during the bake?
That's interesting, Bert.So, this is 2 out of 3 burners you're using, right? And are you sure it's 1,250 btu each, not 12,500? If it is 25K total, that's still pretty impressive. I think it would take a lot of tinkering to get that out of an LBE with a 25K burner attached.How much sugar is there in the dough? Oil?
Did I hear someone say Chicago pizza....
You heard right... I had all the ingredients prepared to try it last weekend, I had to postponed it, we had relative from out of town visiting.

Across the Nation, Runners Set Their Sights High
Trail Runner Trophy Series leaders share their motivations and ambitions
Kara Henry, 28, of Boulder, Colorado leads the women's non-marathon 20-29 category
We're back with more from our 2013 Trail Runner Trophy Series!
Check out the leaderboard summary on page 3 of this article, where you'll find the most recent standings for both the "Marathon and Longer" and "Non-Marathon" race categories.
We chatted with several runners who have been leading competitors in this year's Trophy Series. Read on to discover their trail-blazing stories, reasons for racing and goals for the future.
KARA HENRY (pictured above)
As a long-term competitive runner, the transition into trail running for Kara Henry, 28, of Boulder, Colorado, has been a delight. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, she's found her niche while training for and running ultras, including last year's Bear Chase 50-Miler and esteemed Leadville 100. After growing up in a suburban jungle, Kara's setting her sights far on the horizon and looking for exciting new places to race, preferably with less cement!
Have you always been a trail runner?
I've only really been a trail runner since moving to Boulder, CO two years ago. I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and went to college in the Midwest where I ran probably 90% of my mileage on cement. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time injured! Now I'm totally spoiled by the trails in Boulder and love spending four or five hours running in the mountains on a Saturday.
What is your motivation and inspiration for running?
I just enjoy being outside and active. Running is a means for me to see places and things that normal people don't get to experience. Plus I have a pretty terrible diet…I've already consumed 2 cookies before 10am today and that's pretty standard. I've got to have something to keep myself in check!
How was running last year's Leadville 100?
I went into that race completely under-trained and with the attitude that I was going to spend a beautiful day in the mountains. There was no 'race' feeling for me. I've signed up for it again this year (after promising myself I wouldn't) and this time I'm going in with a solid 6 months of training and a completely different attitude.
Where are you hoping trail running will take you in the future?
I'd love to have a crack at some races in Europe. They know-how to do trail/ultra running right … it's more of a big event/party atmosphere wrapped around the races over there. I also think a stage race may be in my future. I love the idea of racing back-to-back days and covering a ton of ground.
Any words of wisdom for other trail runners?
Everything changed for me when I stopped caring about pacing and running fast. It's amazing how much fitness you can build just by spending time in the mountains on the trails. Not only do I enjoy training more, but also I'm probably fitter than I've ever been. Stop looking at your GPS!
A Marathon Maniac, Robert Bondurant, 40, of Chimacum, Washington, has competed in over 75 marathons and ultras in the past four years. With his hometown being Chimacum, Washington, Robert travels around the West in search of new races to run and 14,000-foot mountains to climb. His mission is to compete in Western States, Hardrock, and what is described as "the world's toughest foot race", the Badwater Ultramarathon in California's Death Valley.
Have you always been a keen trail runner? How'd it all begin?
I began as a road runner by walking the 2005 Bloomsday 12k race in 2005, followed by a passionate interest to run it in subsequent years. My first trail-running experience was at the 2008 Roots Rock Spooky 12K race. Then I heard about the Chuckanut 50K race and was shocked: "People actually RUN these mountain trails? And for that distance? I want to be able to do that someday!"
So, your next race is the Black Hills 100. How are you training for the event?
Rest is my training for the Black Hills 100! I ran three 100-milers (Badger Mountain Challenge, Roots Rock Lumberjack Endurance Runs and Pigtails Challenge) between March 29 and May 26, 2013. In that time period, I also ran two 50-milers (Capitol Peak Ultras and Mt. Si Ultra) in a single weekend, plus the Sunflower Trail Marathon, Wenatchee Half Marathon (road) and Rhody Run 12k (road). Between now and Black Hills, I will just run a few half marathons on roads with short trail runs in between. My running friends keep saying rest, rest and more rest! I'm going to listen.
What have you discovered about yourself from trail running?
I bonk a lot in races over 30K. To be able to push on to the finish by way of a death march or revitalizing at an aid station for a second wind has given me the confidence to go out hard but be willing to change and adapt to a new race goal if my original plan doesn't end up working. My rule is to keep stomping unless injured, or getting lost in a way that prevents an official finish or missing a cutoff.
What are you hoping to achieve as an athlete?
I plan to eventually run Western States, Hardrock and Badwater. Also, as a 'peak bagger', I've climbed all of the Fourteen-ers in Colorado and Washington, with just two remaining in California. Running has improved my athletic abilities in this discipline as well by staying active on the trails year round instead of waiting for the summer weather to arrive.
What's the best advice anyone has ever given to you about trail running?
Don't go out too fast and over race. I'm getting a little better with that but still working on it. Getting PR's in every race, when I first got into running, spoiled me.
Anything else you'd like to share with others?
The 2013 Badger Mountain Challenge so far has been the only 100-miler of seven where I didn't bonk and it was an amazing experience to be able to pick up the pace after 80 miles. I ran at a pace from the start that felt like I could keep it up forever and kept monitoring for any mental changes. This is my plan for Black Hills and Leadville; just run and have fun!

Intel Corp. will reveal more details about its first standalone graphics processor in the decade at Siggraph conference in mid-August, 2008. However, even ahead of the planned international conference dedicated to graphics and various interactive technologies the world's largest maker of x86 central processing units (CPUs) unveiled quite a number of things regarding its code-named Larrabee product.
The chipmaker says that Larrabee uses multiple in-order x86 CPU cores that are augmented by a wide vector processor unit, as well as fixed-function co-processors, which are most likely to be texture addressing units, texture filtering units, render back ends and other necessary parts of a modern graphics processing units (GPUs). According to Intel, incorporation of in-order Atom-like x86 cores into a massively parallel stream processing unit provides "dramatically higher performance per watt and per unit of area than out-of-order CPUs on highly parallel workloads" and also "greatly increases the flexibility and programmability" of the architecture as compared to standard GPUs.
At Siggraph Intel will present "Larrabee: A Many-Core x86 Architecture for Visual Computing" white-paper that introduces the Larrabee many-core visual computing architecture, a new software rendering pipeline implementation, a many-core programming model, and performance analysis for several applications.
Earlier this year Intel confirmed that Larrabee is not a pure special-purpose processor or a pure graphics processor, but a product that combines many functions. Still, it will feature fixed-function cores that are traditional to GPU, which will allow the chip to render currently available games.
"There's only one way to render the huge range of DirectX and OpenGL games out there, and that's the way they were designed to run – the conventional rasterization pipeline. That has been the goal for the Larrabee team from day one, and it continues to be the primary focus of the hardware and software teams. We take triangles, we rasterize them, we do Z tests, we do pixel shading, we write to a frame-buffer," said Tom Forsyth, an engineer from Intel Visual Computing group.

Comments: When Nike no longer offered my favorite Zoom Breathe 2k10s, I tried the Nike Air Max Cage Grey/Black
hoping to find an adequate replacement. That shoe didn't work for me, so I ordered one of the last pairs of Red/Black Zoom
Breathe 2k12s from TW. I have a normal width foot and the 2k12s seemed a bit tight at first. After 2 weeks of play, they fit much
better. I can fly in these things and have since come to like them. Sure, I still would prefer the 2k10s because they fit my foot
perfectly, but at this point I was just glad to find something close and the 2k12s were fairly close. I have learned my lesson; when
you find a shoe you love, you better stock up. It won't be long before that model is gone, re-designed and not always for the
From: Jim, 9/13
Comments: I got these shoes about three or four months ago because I liked the style and colors. They run a little
long and the initial break-in took about 3 or 4 hitting sessions. At first they felt horrible, I was ready to abandon them, as they
absolutely hurt my feet, but after 3 or 4 sessions they were extremely comfortable. Cushioning is adequate, not overly soft but
not overly firm. They are very low to the ground and very stable. I have not turned an ankle in them yet. The tongue is a little
small/short so you have to watch how you tie the laces or they might slip off the tongue and contact your foot. After wearing
these for three/four months, I am just starting to see small holes in the sole. These shoes don't have a durability guarantee so I
was not expecting 6 months life out of them. I am 6'2", 230#, I play about 6 hours per week.
From: Rich, 3/13
Comments: I've had these shoes going on 3 months and after playing 4 times a week over that period, I've just
about worn through the soles. This is a great shoe, but I'd definitely recommend skipping these if you're looking for durability.
Additionally, I'd skip these if you have a foot you would consider even remotely thin. This is a very wide shoe and you'll definitely
come off the court with some blisters if you have a thin foot. I would recommend ordering a half size smaller than you regularly
would due to this. It's a great lightweight, stable shoe, but it's no good if you're a grinder with a thin foot.
From: Zach, 12/12
Comments: I wore these 3 times. They do run about a 1/2 size big, but I don't know that I would order a size
smaller. The biggest issue is that on the third time I wore them, one of the fluorescent loops holding the laces tore out from
where it was attached to the bottom of the shoe. It looks pretty, but I don't really think it's a good design for running side-to-
side and stopping and starting on a dime. I'm a serve and volleyer and run all over the court. The shoes are completely non-
functional, so I'm returning them.
From: Derek, 12/12
Comments: I've had these shoes for about 2 months now and they are still working great with about 20 hours a
on the courts. The drag cage is stronger than the competition and that helps me a lot. The outsole will last you depending on your
style of play, whether you slide or take smaller steps to slow down. I use these in practice and matches, and they have held up
They are great for the price, but without the guarantee it won't be the shoe of choice for you grinders out there.
From: Bryce, 11/12
Comments: I love this shoe! I have been wearing this model for a long time (previous versions for over 6 years) and
this is the best yet, in my opinion. I found the 2k11 to be a little too roomy and sloppy. The 2k12's have a new lacing system
gives the shoe the tight, snug feel that the Breathe Free's used to have (I have an average foot width with a little higher than
arch, 6'1", 195 lbs). I typically wear a size 10.5, but dropped down to a 10 in these shoes and the fit is perfect! Durability is an
I play about 12 hours a week and they'll typically last 3-4 months before the sole gets a large hole in it, but the shoes perform like
no other I have tried. Light, supportive and no issues with slippage. If you can get your head around the durability problems, I
recommend the 2k12's.
From: Michael, 10/12
Comments: I bought this shoes for my son, and they only lasted 8 weeks. There was a huge hole by the big toe on
his serving foot. We were very disappointed.
From: Julie, 9/12
Comments: I'm a huge fan of the 2k11. The fit was right on for me. I need shoes that are slightly wider than
normal, especially near the toes. The 2k11s were by far the most comfortable shoes I've played in. I just bought the 2k12s
thinking it will feel the same as the 2k11s, but it was not a good assumption. Immediately, the new model feels tight at the toe
box. After nearly 4 hours of play, my feet were tired and hurting a bit. The 2k12s feel very different than the 2k11s. I don't like
the shorter tongue and the lacing sytem. The cosmetics are cool, but looks don't help you win games.
From: Anon, 9/12
Comments: My son wore a new pair of these shoes to practice for a week, then played one
high school match and a bullfrog tournament. The tread portion of the sole has
already come off the heel. This was the second pair of these shoes I have purchased in the
last 6 weeks and will be the last. If Nike can't build a shoe that lasts more than a couple
weeks of moderate use, then I'm done with them. They don't even have the decency to
provide a durability guarantee and it's clear why. These shoes are total crap for the serious
junior player who spends more than a couple hours a week on the court.
From: David, 9/12
Comments: Jason summed it up pretty well. This shoe needs a little break in so it can conform to your foot. Then,
it's pretty much a "match day" shoe. I usually wear a 9.5 US in Nike, but had to get a size 10 for the CourtBallistec 3.3s because of
how narrow they were. Then I found that I'm a size 9.5 in the Zoom Breathe 2K12s and, honestly, it's still pretty wide for my foot.
You will have to lace them up pretty tight if you have a normal width foot. Aesthetically, the black with blue sole looks great, and
the feel and traction of the court is also superb. For now, I like them better than the 3.3s, but after one day of use the toe box is
taking some damage. Hopefully they hold up until I get a pair of 4.3s.
From: Anon, 8/12
Comments: I found the tongue too short and does not cover the laces when fully tied. The laces actually cut into
the arch of my foot.
From: John, 8/12
Comments: I've found that the innersoles of these shoes move around within the shoes and scrunch up as I'm
playing. Very annoying. Maybe the sizing is a half size too large as per above reviewer's comments - the forefoot does feel wide.
I've never had this problem in Vapors or Ballistecs. Disappointing, as otherwise hits a sweet spot between the light/not-durable
Vapors and the heavy/durable Ballistecs.
From: Chris, 8/12
Comments: I found the sizing on these shoes to be a half size too large. I have a
wide forefoot and I normally wear a 10.5, sometimes having to go up to an 11 due
to my wide foot. I bought the 10.5 and already have to cinch the laces so tight
that the eyelets from each side are nearly touching. I do use replacement insoles
which only made the shoe "bigger" for me. Otherwise the shoes are clearly more
of a game day shoe. They ventilate well but the cushioning isn't what you'll find in
the Ballistec or Barricade. Despite being too large, the shoes were still really stable
and gripped the court well.

Stocks Rebound as Stimulus Hopes Offset China, U.S. Budget Concerns
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages rose Monday as confidence about continued stimulus support from global central banks offset worries surrounding the Chinese government's five-point plan to curb rising home prices and U.S. budget impasse.
During a conference in Washington Monday, Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen gave dovish remarks that were in line with Chairman Ben Bernanke's monetary policy testimony last week
"At present, I view the balance of risks as still calling for a highly accommodative monetary policy to support a stronger recovery and more-rapid growth in employment," she said.
In Japan, the Nikkei Average in Japan finished up 0.4% as Haruhiko Kuroda, Bank of Japan governor-nominee, advocated aggressive measures to overcome deflation.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 38.16 points, or 0.27%, to settle at 14,128. The blue-chip index booked its second highest close ever on Monday.
Breath was positive, with winners outpacing losers 19 to 11. Wal-Mart(WMT) , Home Depot (HD) , Merck(MRK) and IBM(IBM) were the biggest blue-chip gainers.
The most prominent laggards were Caterpillar(CAT) , Alcoa(AA) and United Technologies (UTX) .
United Technologies shares retreated by more than 1% after The Wall Street Journal reported the company's Pratt & Whitney subsidiary had broken up an alleged fraudulent-testing scheme by a sister United Technologies unit, affecting tens of thousands of engine parts.
The S&P 500 increased 7 points, or 0.46%, to close at 1,525. The Nasdaq advanced by 12.29 points, or 0.39%, to 3,182.
Advancers edged past decliners by a ratio of 1.3-to-1 on the Big Board and 1.2-to1 Nasdaq. Volumes rose to 3.37 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange and 1.71 billion shares on the Nasdaq.
Sector action was mixed in the broader market. Health care, transportation, utilities and consumer staples were among the sectors that advanced. Energy, basic materials and capital good were among the sectors that retreated.
For much of Monday, stocks were trading in the red amid concerns that China's property bubble might soon burst.
China's government said it would take a number of measures to curb rising home prices including the potential expansion of home-buying restrictions and property tax increases; higher down payments and increased mortgage rates on purchases of second homes in cities experiencing rapidly- rising housing prices; and the possibility of a 20% tax on capital gains to be levied on the sale of second-hand property.
Economists at Societe Generale published a report saying they think the immediate impact of the move by the Chinese government is going to be a surge in home sales in big cities, as people rush to close deals before the policy is put into place.
Afterwards, property sales will probably drop substantially, but property prices may not as tighter implementation of the capital gain tax will serve to reduce the housing supply. "Nonetheless, slower home sales are very likely to dent the growth momentum and overall liquidity conditions, as suggested by the housing downturn in early 2012," the economists said.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by jcm This a Pretty Gown I received this one and have worn it many time. I like the fabric and the length. September 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by VDL Beautiful Dreams in This Night Gown Pristine white cotton with long flowing style makes this pinafore styled night gown truly feeling cool in the hot summer -and yes, much like a princess with cotton-lace shoulder straps, the unique seed-pearl bodice and side pockets. I love this night gown and order one from Vermont Country Store, year after year. August 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nancee Pinafore nightgown Loved it so much that I purchased a second one. Just wish there was a matching robe. August 26, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by sayer de vérité Gorgeous nightgown but could be lower under the arms This is a really lovely nightgown and yes, I do feel like a princess when I wear it! Love the pockets and fabric, too. My only complaint is I wish they'd provide an extra inch or so under the arms. For some reason (and I don't have thick arms), the under arm portion comes up very high, to right under my arm pits. It's still wearable but I notice it when I have it on (and the ruffles there, too), and I shouldn't notice it at all. So for the next incarnation, please lower the under arms by an inch or so. Otherwise this is a truly beautiful gown. August 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Maurine Quality, quality, quality! I tee-totally love my new cotton nightgown. It is beautiful, comfortable, well-made, and it has pockets! June 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by RobinJ Lovely soft gown I love this gown. It is really pretty, the straps are wide and they don't fall down. I picked the blue and the embroidery has little blue beads on it which I was pleasantly surprised about. The underarms are a little wide, but that's OK because I cannot stand tight night clothes. This gown is long, and I also didn't know it has pockets! I love pockets! It is made SO well, I mean I really examine an article of clothing before I wear it and even the pin tucking near the bottom is so even and perfect. It washes up nice, I washed it in cold water. I love that it is 100% cotton. I would buy another! May 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Maine Lady Pretty Nightgown Very soft with pretty detailing....will be perfect for summer! May 9, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Cornball Nothing special this is an OK nightgown-very long. I am tall and it is long on me. March 8, 2016

More on theNuclear Security Summit|White House Blog: Expanding the Effort to Achieve Nuclear Security
On April 12-13, 2010, President Obama is hosting a Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, DC, to enhance international cooperation to prevent nuclear terrorism. President Obama has invited over 40 nations to participate. The goals of the Nuclear Security Summit are to come to a common understanding of the threat posed by nuclear terrorism, to agree to effective measures to secure nuclear material, and to prevent nuclear smuggling and terrorism. The Summit will focus on the security of nuclear materials, leaving other broad topics such as nonproliferation, disarmament, and peaceful nuclear energy to different forums. The work of the summit began yesterday with a number of bilateral meetings, with more scheduled today. The President will welcome each head of delegation this afternoon, and the summit will commence with a working dinner tonight.
On April 8, 2010, President Obama and Russian President Medvedev signed the New START Treaty, reducing the number of strategic nuclear warheads in our arsenals to levels not seen since the first decade of the nuclear age. Secretary Clinton said, "This verifiable reduction by the world's two largest nuclear powers reflects our commitment to the basic bargain of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) -- all nations have the right to seek the peaceful use of nuclear energy, but they all also have the responsibility to prevent nuclear proliferation, and those that do possess these weapons must work toward disarmament. This agreement is just one of several concrete steps the United States is taking to make good on President Obama's pledge to make America and the world safer by reducing the threat of nuclear weapons, proliferation and terrorism." Read more about the New START Treaty here.
Two days prior to the signing of the New START Treaty, the Department of Defense released the new Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), a legislatively-mandated review that establishes U.S. nuclear policy, strategy, capabilities and force posture for the next five to ten years. Secretary of Defense Gates said, "The NPR provides a road map for implementing President Obama's agenda for reducing nuclear risks to the United States, our allies and partners and the international community. This review describes how the United States will reduce the role and numbers of nuclear weapons with a long-term goal of a nuclear-free world." Read more about the Nuclear Posture Review here.
The new Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) was released almost exactly a year after President Obama gave a major speech in Prague outlining his vision for decreasing the threat of nuclear arms to the world. In that speech, President Obama said:
"[W]e must ensure that terrorists never acquire a nuclear weapon. This is the most immediate and extreme threat to global security. One terrorist with one nuclear weapon could unleash massive destruction. Al Qaeda has said it seeks a bomb and that it would have no problem with using it. And we know that there is unsecured nuclear material across the globe. To protect our people, we must act with a sense of purpose without delay.... We will set new standards, expand our cooperation with Russia, pursue new partnerships to lock down these sensitive materials. We must also build on our efforts to break up black markets, detect and intercept materials in transit, and use financial tools to disrupt this dangerous trade. Because this threat will be lasting, we should come together to turn efforts such as the Proliferation Security Initiative and the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism into durable international institutions. And we should start by having a Global Summit on Nuclear Security that the United States will host within the next year.
"Now, I know that there are some who will question whether we can act on such a broad agenda. There are those who doubt whether true international cooperation is possible, given inevitable differences among nations. And there are those who hear talk of a world without nuclear weapons and doubt whether it's worth setting a goal that seems impossible to achieve. But make no mistake: We know where that road leads. When nations and peoples allow themselves to be defined by their differences, the gulf between them widens. When we fail to pursue peace, then it stays forever beyond our grasp. We know the path when we choose fear over hope. To denounce or shrug off a call for cooperation is an easy but also a cowardly thing to do. That's how wars begin. That's where human progress ends. There is violence and injustice in our world that must be confronted. We must confront it not by splitting apart but by standing together as free nations, as free people. I know that a call to arms can stir the souls of men and women more than a call to lay them down. But that is why the voices for peace and progress must be raised together."Related Entry:President Obama Addresses Nuclear Security Summit Opening Plenary
Gloira G. in Canada writes:
In addition to all the determination expressed by White House officials here on this Blog, I've added President Obama's quotation of what Albert Einstein had to say about the Nuclear Age in which we find ourselves:
"'Now everything has changed. . . . We are drifting towards a catastrophe beyond comparison. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.'" (Albert Einstein, qtd. by President Barack Obama in Jesse Lee, "An Opportunity--Not Simply to Talk, But to Act," The White House Blog, whitehouse.gov, April 13, 2010 1353h EDT http://bit.ly/bGtKrs accessed April 13, 2010 1641h PST).

Secondary Sources: Europe's Crisis, The Fiscal 'Slope,' And 2060
A roundup of economic news from around the Web.
-Europe's crisis: Berkeley economics professor and currency guru Barry Eichengreen asks on Project Syndicate whether Europe's three-year-old financial crisis is finally over, or just on hiatus again. He fears the latter. "Investors are missing the real risk: the collapse of public support for, or at least public acquiescence to, the austerity policies required to work down heavy debt burdens – and for the governments pursuing these policies. Mass anti-austerity protests are one warning sign. Another is growing popular support for neo-Nazi movements like Golden Dawn, now the third-largest political party in Greece. The rise to power of a "rejectionist" European government – that is, one that unilaterally rejects the policy status quo– would immediately bring the crisis to a head … It is worth recalling that nearly four years passed from the onset of the Great Depression in Germany to the Nazis' accession to power."
-Fiscal "slope"?: Josh Brown of the Reformed Broker rejects the growing view that the "fiscal cliff" isn't that bad for the economy. "Here's what they miss," Brown says. First, "what the fiscal cliff's actual impact on the economy will ultimately be is not the point, it is the perception." Second: "In the short-term, stocks trade on psychology and sentiment. This happens en masse and things change quickly. Fear over increased taxes, lower government spending and a further contraction of economic growth will not lead to a gradual adjustment of risk asset prices. Rather, it will mean a fear-driven race to the exits all at once. I don't care what your surveys say, deep down everyone who is in the stock market right now is operating under the assumption that a compromise will occur, on time, and one that kicks the can on all of the big issues. Any hint that we're deviating from this script will show up in the tape." And: "Economists and journalists who do fact-based empirical work sometimes forget that most people, including investors, do not behave rationality [sic] or react to the data in proportion with its actual meaning. Many people in this world, even some successful ones, can turn from reasonable human beings into hysterical monkeys when their fight-or-flight instinct is triggered."
-2060: The Economist looks at what the global economy will look like in 2060, based on forecasts from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. "Economic power will tilt even more decisively away from the rich world than many realise. In 2011 the current membership of the OECD made up 65% of global output, compared with a combined 24% for China and India. By 2060 the two Asian giants will have a 46% share of world GDP, the OECD members a shrunken 42%. India's economy will be a bit bigger than America's, China's a lot. Even so the Chinese and Indians will still be much less well-off than Americans … the same forecasts show GDP per person in China at 59% of that in America; in India it will be only 27%. And Americans will increase their lead over the citizens of some developed countries like France and Italy."

Wage hike will kill jobs
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the state's current minimum wage is unlivable, citing the costs of gasoline, food, child care and more.
What the governor didn't say is that, in most cases, heads of households aren't living on $7.25 an hour.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers in their teens and early 20s made up about half of federal minimum-wage earners in 2011. This was despite the fact that the age group represented only 20 percent of hourly paid workers.
Besides, those who are heads of households working at the minimum wage are actually receiving far more than $7.25 an hour, according to the Republican Party of New York State's website.
Federal and state tax credits increase the take-home pay of minimum-wage workers by roughly $3,000 per year, the site reports. It notes that a single mother of two working full time at minimum wage receives the cash equivalent of nearly $10.50 an hour, which doesn't include some food stamp and non-cash assistance benefits.
Hiking the minimum wage $1.50 at a time is senseless. It would affect an already poor state business climate.
Raising the minimum wage will likely raise costs of goods and services, hurt small-business owners and cost some New Yorkers their jobs. Before long, the new $8.75 would be just like the old $7.25. What's the point?
What would really help would be extending transitional benefits for those trying to get off public assistance. The state needs to encourage residents to get back to work, to use benefits as a safety net, not to pull the net out from under someone trying to attain true self-sufficiency.
Cuomo's idea to help hard-working New Yorkers is a good one. He could do so by helping to create better jobs and making New York a more business-friendly state.

Handcrafted from high-grade cedar grown in the Pacific Northwest, the Stanford Lures Razor Shad Medium Diving Crankbait is 100% made in the USA with only premium components. The unique density and composition of cedar gives it a more neutral buoyancy. This allows it to suspend longer in the strike zone, whether on a stop-and-go retrieve or when it comes into contact with cover. Cedar also gives the Razor Shad its unique tight wobbling action, and characteristically deadly "hunting" action on deflections. Available in a range of proven hand-painted colors, the Stanford Lures Razor Shad Medium Diving Crankbait is made for highly pressured conditions.

Comments: little too much hype in previous review for me.
From: David: TX
Comments: Ranked number 6 in FLW magazine this month Stanford Cedar lures does more than just find its self in the top 10....it performs !!! The razor has out lasted and out done every crank bait I own. I fish my root beer and Tennessee colors through what ever rip rap and rock I can find, most anglers would cringe at the idea of running a custom cedar bait though rock, but that's why I'm catching the big ones! The razor has great deflection and boyuncey Êthat gives the fish something to react to. The sold paint and construction hold up to the toughestÊstructure you can retrieve and runs straight as an arrow! I would recommend this lure to every tackle box!!!! Pro tip - great for fishing around docks, take a pair of needle nose pliers and bend the eye ever so slightly to left or the right, so there is a curved retrieve. Then cast to the far side of docks to create a fleeing appearance from the outside corners ! ÊGood luckÊ

Six utilities implementing distributed energy storage systems have cooperated with EPRI to evaluate their functional requirements against a new Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3) communication standard for distributed energy resources (DER).

This update evaluates how well the DNP 3 Communication Standard for DER meets the needs of the participating utilities' planned implementations.

I'm playing at the Halo scenario that morning or I'd come out. Let me know the next time you're going and I'll try to make it.

I can usually only play Saturday night and Sundays because of work schedule.
