School can be a problem for children like Austin Layte. He was in Grade 3 last year, but spent most of May and June, not in class but in the principal's office – visits that mystified a boy who always seem to have a storm brewing inside.
His mother, Kathy Moreland Layte, had worked with the school to come up with a solution for his difficult behaviour. She says everyone tried to work around his emotional triggers, and the result was an individual education plan that was mostly behavioural. For example, rather than having a locker or cubbyhole – he could lash out, if someone bumped into him – he was allowed to keep his things in a separate room.
For the first 10 days, things went well, but then the academic challenges began. He would become overwhelmed and could not keep up, despite testing high in mathematics. He threw furniture. The board scrambled to help – hiring a child worker to be with him for two hours each morning – as Ms. Layte struggled to find out what was really wrong with him.
"The school itself was very supportive," she says. "They just didn't know what else to do; they didn't have the resources."
Austin was placed on a modified timetable, coming home most days at 11 in the morning. Ms. Layte struggled to find someone to watch him, but at times was called to fetch him even earlier.
In the fall of 2011, he underwent four days of diagnostic testing that finally produced a label for his condition: partial fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.
"Part of me was relieved in finally knowing; another part of me continues to be horrified," Ms. Layte says. "It's almost like being grief-stricken for everybody – for them, for him, for me because I knew then that my life was never going to be the same. Life was not going to be what I expected it to be."
She had to tell Austin how his life would be different. "I've been clear with him. I told him, 'Everybody's brain works like a highway. Some of yours is blocked and you have to work around the blocks.' "
Now with the diagnosis hurdle done, she needed to get him specialized schooling, which left her two choices: a school run by Child and Family Services, in which she would have to relinquish her parental rights, or put him in residential care, where he would be separated from his family every night.
"Both options means he wouldn't be living here," she said.
By late that September, a solution seemed found when the region's mental health service had a special program called Kidslink, which he attended during and after school up until last July. He coped well there and was voted the most improved academic student. Things looked up.
Unfortunately, that program was not geared toward children who have permanent FASD issues, so Austin was chosen to attend a different class run by Family and Children's Services.
Despite early planning to discuss his needs, trouble soon came and he was sent home for aggressive behaviour, staying there for four weeks with no support.
By early November, he was back in the classroom, after further adjustments were made to his safety plan, such as observing when things were about to escalate – kicking the leg of his desk, sighing, pacing, wanting to get a drink of water – then intervening with physical redirection such as hand holding.
"I still can't relax. It's a roller coaster," Ms. Layte says. "You want to believe things will settle down, but they don't. Your child is the one who suffers. These kids can't be fixed – they need to be supported to be successful."
Drinking while pregnant
Federal guidelines now state: "If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or about to breastfeed, the safest choice is to drink no alcohol at all."
And yet research conducted by Gideon Koren, director of the Motherisk program at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, suggests more expectant women are drinking than anyone suspects. The accepted figure is 1 per cent, but he and colleagues in Charlottetown found that 3 per cent of 800 babies born in Prince Edward Island in 2010 had been exposed to substantial amounts of alcohol in the womb.
Forty per cent of babies exposed heavily to alcohol in utero will suffer from FASD, which can include damage to cognitive behavioural and executive functions, with substantial effects on their development, health and quality of life.
"Clearly, alcohol affects areas of executive function, of emotions," Dr. Koren says. "Alcohol goes into different cells, that's why you get sedated so quickly but there is still a lot of research going on; it's really still in its infancy."
What alcohol does to the brain
"It can damage every part of the brain or brain function," says Sterling Clarren, scientific director of the Canada FASD Research Network, based in Vancouver.
Though the negative effects of drinking can be traced as far back as Aristotle, it was not until 1973 that the physical impact of alcohol on a fetus – the facial features of those born to alcoholic mothers – were given a name: fetal alcohol syndrome.
These features, noted by pediatrician David Smith, a researcher in dysmorphology at University of Washington's medical school in Seattle, where Dr. Clarren worked as part of a team, included the flattened philtrum – that vertical groove between the nose and middle part of the upper lip plus a thin upper lip – in addition to small eye slit openings, medically referred to as palpebral fissure. Growth deficiency and brain damage are other key features.
How FAS differs from FASD
Diagnoses under the FAS umbrella also include fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), partial fetal alcohol syndrome (pFAS), alcohol-related neuro-developmental disorder (ARND) and alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD).
In 15 per cent of cases, damage is visible on a magnetic-resonance imaging machine. The holes in the brain look bigger and the white matter shallower, making the diagnosis relatively quick. For the remaining cases, the damage is microscopic and tests are required to determine its extent. For most, FASD is an invisible illness.
To compound matters, an FASD diagnosis is not considered reliable until at least the age of 6 – some say 8 – thwarting attempts to mitigate its effects early on. For years before that, these children may seem defiant, unruly and efforts to discipline them may do more harm than good because their brains simply don't work the same way.
Those physical effects are seen only in children exposed to alcohol typically from day 19 to 21 of gestation. But damage caused by drinking while pregnant can occur at any time in pregnancy.Report Typo/Error

Wild boar raids anger residents of English forest
By Alexander Clare
London (Reuters Life!) - Some of the first wild boar to roam free in England for 300 years have been raiding rubbish bins, attacking dogs and digging up green spaces in villages scattered around England's first national forest park.
Recent snow and icy weather has interrupted rubbish collection service in the Forest of Dean leaving tempting treats in local bins that have attracted the boar, which ordinarily forage for shoots, leaves, bulbs, worms and carrion.
Some areas in the forest, which is in the west of England close to the border with Wales, have not seen garbage collection since before the Christmas holidays.
Ecologist Martin Goulding, who holds a doctorate degree in Wild Boar Ecology, told Reuters that scavenging was a natural activity for the porcine raiders and that a rich harvest of food from the bins will encourage more boar to target trash cans.
"If people leave rubbish out then bins can be raided. If one catches onto the trick then more will join in," he said.
Goulding advised people against provoking the boar, which can weigh up to 200 kg (440.9 lb) and roam a territory of several kilometers (miles).
"As with all wild animals there is an element of unpredictability so don't go winding them up," he said.
Forest of Dean and Wye Valley Review local newspaper Deputy Editor Mark Bristow said that the boar -- who have attacked dogs and rooted up gardens looking for food -- have divided local opinion over how to address the problem. Continued...

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Celtics took care of business on Friday night, easily beating the Philadelphia 76ers, 116-89. Boston was down by 3 at the half, but outscored Philadelphia by 30 points the rest of the way. Ray Allen led the C's in points again with 23 points and also added 6 assists. With the win, the C's improve to a still-NBA best 32-6 record.
The 76ers just played a really sloppy game. In addition to 23 turnovers, the team shot 2-10 (20%) from 3-pt land, and just 19-33 (57.6%) from the FT line. Despite the 27-point loss, the 76ers shot 45.3% from the field and grabbed 18 offensive rebounds (39 overall). The C's lost the battle of the boards yet again, but still blew out Philly. How could that happen?
Well, it helps that the Celtics finally busted out of their offensive and shooting funk. Even without the injured Rajon Rondo, the C's still scored 116 points with 6 players in double figures. The team shot 58.9% from the field, 14-22 (63.6%) from downtown, and 16-21 (76.2%) from the FT line.
Filling in for Rondo, guard Eddie House chipped in 15 points (11 in the fourth quarter), 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. He hit 3-4 from 3-pt land. House and Tony Allen split the duty at the point, with rookie Gabe Pruitt seeing a little action. Pruitt played 9 minutes and had 3 points and 1 assist. Personally, I think Pruitt should've had more minutes, but I'll admit it was a close game heading into the fourth quarter. You got to have your best out there in crunch time.
House played well, but I wouldn't say he's a true point guard. I think the only true PG that can contribute now is Rondo, but he's currently out with back and hamstring injuries. There's news out of Memphis that the Grizzlies may be cutting ties with PG Damon Stoudamire. His addition would be extremely significant. More on my reaction to the Stoudamire will come later…
The next game for the Celtics is Monday night against the New York Knicks, who are somehow starting to show life under Isiah Thomas. They're still last in the Atlantic Division with a 13-27 record, but they've gone 5-5 in their last 10 games which is definitely an improvement. Believe it or not, Jamal Crawford is "emerging" as a top-scoring threat with the Knicks.
Crawford has averaged 21.3 ppg in January. Now, it's being reported that Isiah wants to make Crawford, a shoot-first player, the team's starting PG. Interesting…Celtics by 15.

Garage GFI Help please
I had a new garage built 2 years ago. In the garage I had a 200 amp service installed (for future service). I only had 60 amp of service installed at the time the garage was built. 1 20 for the wall outlets, 1 20 amp for the ceiling and outside lighting and 1 20 amp for the garage door opener. Ok with that said here is what happened..last week we had a pretty good thunder storm with lots and lots of rain..went back out in the garage a day or so later and all my wall outlets are dead...the first outlet next to box is the GFI. It was tripped and would not reset. So I purchased a new one and replaced it. As soon as I turn on the breaker the GFI trips. Now I was very careful in wiring it up and everything is correct. I unplugged the load wires on the GFI and the ground, reset the GFI turn the breaker on and it still trips? Now my garage door opener which is on a different circuit has a GFI as well and it is fine and the overhead/outside lights are on a GFI breaker and they are all fine. I have checked everything in the panel for as making sure everything is tight and can not figure this out for the life of me. Any suggestions would be great. Also I have tryed to get in contact with the electrician who installed everything but I do not believe he is in the area anymore.
Either its miswired, you have another bad receptacle, or you have had a short somewhere in the cable and its shorting to the neutral. Could be that you had a surge and fried that wire somehow, or you damaged the wire in the process of replacing the receptacle. Turn off that breaker until you can verify everything or refeed that circuit. Can you take a picture of the panel and feed to the receptacle, and the inside of the box.
Is it a breaker tripping or is the GFCI tripping?
Is it a breaker tripping or is the GFCI tripping?
GFI only...the breaker has not tripped yet. I had another new breaker there so I replaced it earlier...no change however.
Get a new GFCI.
You want to check all wiring on the line side of the gfci for shorts to ground. It could be another receptacle is bad. Gfci's can be very sensitive to moisture it only takes a few miliamps of leakage to trip them. Since your problem started after a storm I would think water is the culprit. But where is another question.
Are there any other rec. On the load side of the gfci
How can a GFI trip with nothing connected to the LINE side? There should be no power.
The line side is where the power goes into a GFI. Load terminals are to protect receptacles downstream of the GFI.
Can you temporarily disconnect one of the circuits that has a GFCI on it and is functioning properly and see if the problem GFCI will properly reset wired to that breaker? Also what about swapping the problematic GFCI with the good one controlling the garage door? Will it reset wired to that circuit?
I guess I could try that but I have installed a new breaker and 2 new GFI outlets with no luck but I will try it tomorrow!
It strikes me as odd that you say the GFCI trips when you turn the power on. It should not be resettable unless the power is already on, and should not reset if there is a fault present. How are you able to reset the GFCI to try this more than one time?

porch flooring at top of steps
I have just replaced about a dozen t&g flooring boards on my front porch (covered). Most of the boards are at the top of a set of wooden steps. The floor boards run perpendicular to the house and steps, thus presenting their cut edges along the top of the steps. The edge of the porch at the top step was previously covered with a strip of metal flashing. This original flashing was very old and damaged.
Is there a special type of metal strip/flashing that should be used for this? If so, what it the best way to attach it? Are there any better alternatives?
This is a stock item at any large hardware store.
Just tell them you need a stair nosing.
It will be aluminum or another non-corrosive metal.
Something like this:

Professional Development Day 2015

Gator Graduate Career Fair
Touchdown Terrace Hilton
Executive & Professional MBA Programs at the University of Florida - Another Recruitment Solution for Employers
With over 900 students enrolled, the Executive and Professional MBA Programs at UF provide employers with a much larger talent pool from which to source talent. "While these programs present students with a flexible format in which to meet their professional and personal lifestyle needs, our students take on the same academic courses and are exposed to the same world- class professors as those in our Full-Time MBA Program, all while being rewarded with the benefits of having a degree from a nationally recognized program." says Craig W. Petrus, Director of Graduate Business Career Services
Often times job openings can occur throughout the year that are not anticipated or planned for in advance. Since our Professional MBA students are working full-time and have two graduation dates throughout the year, their ability to change companies and careers can happen at any time, providing you a source of talent that you may have otherwise overlooked.
A growing number of these students are seeking career changes or looking for ways in which to grow their careers at their current companies. "The demand for our services from our Professional MBA students has steadily increased over the past two years. As a result, we made a strategic decision to hire a dedicated career coach to work with these students on a daily basis and provide them with additional value as part of their overall experience with us." says Craig Petrus.
Michelle Bloom-Lugo
In the past year, Michelle Bloom-Lugo, Associate Director, Career Services at the Hough Graduate School of Business, spent time benchmarking, designing, and creating the structure for GBCS to support our Professional MBA students. "We have about 900 students who go through these programs each year," Bloom-Lugo says, "And we provide support for all who seek to engage with GBCS. Students have access to resume development tools and career coaching services aimed at helping them take on new roles, or accelerating their careers within the companies they work for."
"Some potential employers who could benefit from the talent that this program represents think that the majority of students going through the Professional programs may have too much experience for the positions they are interested in filling, but it's a mixed bag of talent. We have some going through the program that just recently obtained an undergraduate degrees in 2014, and others who have been out in the workforce for several years. There are also some at the executive levels. We have some great students going through this program, and they are just as capable as those going through the Full-Time MBA Program."
Bloom-Lugo notes that she gets a lot of personal satisfaction from working with our Professional MBA students. "I would choose this group any day, because they have given a lot of thought about their careers, and they ask a lot of great questions. You get a candidate that's a bit more mature, knows something about career paths and what they should look like, and are taking a look at how they develop a strategy that fits and aligns with their personal goals." She points out that since a number of her students are career changers, and her job is to help them craft that strategy in terms of how they transition. "I try to teach them how to research their audience (potential employers), understand what's important to them, and how to connect the dots. I also help them identify their strengths, as well as what they are missing, and figure out how to fill in the gaps. The last piece is putting the summary of their experiences together, and helping them articulate why they are a good candidate for a specific position." Sometimes, they already have the experience for a particular type of role, she points out, but the resumes they start out with may not reflect that. "The first step is probably the most important one – helping them put their stories down on paper. Then they have to do their research and figure out how to build a bridge. I am kind of like a broker. I am helping them pull it together, and they are piecing it together. What we provide here at GBCS is assistance to candidates in figuring out what their unique journey is going to be, and which services we offer that will help them reach their goal."
Some of the tools students have access to are very tactical, such as putting together a resume – the most important tool in the tool chest. Others are more 'artful', such as learning how to network with potential employers and Alumni through networking events, activities such as Professional Development Day, Information Sessions and other events. "Our job is to present them with all the possibilities and opportunities that they didn't know existed," Bloom-Lugo states.
Bloom-Lugo is also responsible for career services support provided to our UF MBA Alumni. In many cases, individuals in this group who are looking for new career opportunities may have been out of their MBA program for quite some time, and are ready for that 'next step.' This group often includes more seasoned candidates, as well as graduates of the Executive MBA Program., which average 10-12 years of experience or more.
"From a career services perspective, it is important that our corporate clients know they have a wide range of talent acquisition options in working with us," said Petrus. "Our Professional and Alumni talent pool provides an opportunity for employers to recruit all year long, not just in the fall, during the more traditional university hiring period. In addition, our UF MBA Alumni have the ability to access our job postings at any time, and attend recruiting events such as Company Information Sessions and career fairs. This is another great resource that GBCS provides for employers, and it's a great opportunity for our clients to build their talent pipeline all year long."
The University of Florida's Executive and Professional MBA Programs include one-year and two-year options, along with our highly ranked Online MBA Program. Our on-campus programs are located in both Gainesville, Florida and Sunrise, Florida, which caters to those South Florida students who seek to obtain their MBA degree from the University of Florida.

Updating software on mobile phones is a contentious issue. Either updates don't arrive at all, don't arrive in time or when they do arrive don't make a bit of difference to the phone's functionality.
When Microsoft announced its Windows Phone 7 platform last year, it promised consistent updates delivered to all WP7 phones in a timely fashion. This would have made Android phone owners jealous who have consistently been frustrated at update delays and no-shows. Microsoft's first update of WP7 has been widely speculated upon, even to the point of someone suggesting it would be like Windows Phone 8. Today however, Microsoft has thrown some cold water on this type of speculation by making an official announcement about the update – but omitted to tell us when we would be getting it.
Copy and Paste is coming. For all those amazed ad annoyed at the omission of C&P from WP7, you will be able to copy all the text you want from Office Mobile documents, web pages, emails and text messages once the update arrives. Other than this obvious addition, Microsoft will make searching in the Marketplace a lot smoother to find specific apps, games, or music. Previously, searching for a game or app would throw up a load of music results but now searching in the games or apps section will only return these results.
Other than that there's not much by way of insight into what the update will bring besides an unspecific speed boost for game and app startup. WP7 users will be disappointed that Microsoft has not mentioned bringing multi-tasking to the OS for non-Microsoft apps but it did say this was "a peek at some of what's ahead," so maybe, just maybe we'll be seeing it whenever the update arrives.
When the update will arrive is still a mystery. Microsoft announced in December that the first update would come in early 2011. The post today tells users to "over the next few months, look for updates that add some new features you've asked for and also tune up your phone's performance." That could mean we could be waiting months for the update or it could mean that in the coming months we will get a number of updates.

How to spot a drug dealer?
I am reasonably sure that my upstairs neighbour is a dealer. From a security point of view this is clearly undesirable.
I want to be sure though. Here's what I know:
Could it be anything else? Should I report him to someone?
Make a phone call on the local number for the police. Just list off what you have posted and ask if there is anything that can be done. If not, keep your eyes open and guard up.

definately suspicious. do what you feel is right...
See if he will hook you up.
Being a sketchy character is not illegal and calling the cops due to paranoia is terribly unjust. Who cares what that person does?
The American dream has a backdoor as well, and for some selling drugs is the way in.

|The Following User Says Thank You to kahn For This Useful Post:
My uncle was a drug dealer for most if not all of his adult life.
From knowing him and how he would react to someone like you may I make a few suggestions?
1) DO NOT talk to anyone about what you think. If it gets back to this guy he will come looking for you when the smoke clears. When I was 8 years old my uncle beat a man to the point of death for that. I remember to this day when he handed me his ice cream cone (we were at an ice cream parlor) while he casually walked up to this guy and beat him. I remember him bending his arms over a steel pole until they both snapped, breaking both arms.
2) In addition, MANY TIMES the cops are on the take with people like this, especially if the dealer never seems to get harassed or busted. Just because this guy might be a small time drug dealer, do not think for one second that he cant have a cop on the payroll. With that in mind, if you choose to talk to the police, do it anonymously. My uncle used to pay the local sheriff 500 dollars every week. Doesn't sound like much, but that was 1974 when 500 dollars was two month wages. In return the sheriff did not harass my uncle and would tip him off when he got calls about him. I know this for a fact because I was often made to take the money out to the sheriff.
3) No matter what happens, act like you don't have a clue. If this guy gets busted everyone will want to talk about it and ask questions, and if you seem to know more than average about it that will definitely get back to this guy. You must ask every question and openly wonder what happened because if you dont it might get back that you had something to do with it.
Be careful in whatever you do.

The "backdoor way to the American dream" has hundreds of thousands of school kids, some as young as 6 years old, addicted to hard drugs.
Turn that piece of crap in to the police and get a "safe" neighbor in his place.

It sounds like your Uncle was a very angry man. Attacking someone like that today would be a death sentence in Texas, unless he attacked a liberal that doesn't believe in concealed carry.
|The Following User Says Thank You to mastersergeant For This Useful Post:
Go speak to him un announced. Tell him that you and several of your neighbors are already tuned in because his friends can't keep their mouths shut in the parking lot. One of the neighbors made a remark to you and you told them nothing is going on but you came to him to tip him early. Your just there to tip him off in case they blew it for him with their loudmouth bragging. Now you have a new friend. The traffic will stop for a bit and you can yank his chain whenever you feel like it, even if its just for your own amusement. We had a guy named john john, and I kept him in a constant state of paranoia. Trust me, this is way more fun than keeping telemarketers on the phone for two hours, or wasting the day posting your conquests on http://www.419eater.com/ There is no shame in playing criminals for sport.
You have the power now, and his fear will make him do anything you say. Just be sure he always sees you as a confederate. You will be surprised how much information you can milk out of him about goings on.
Never, ever let this scum get away without playing them out. They deserve anything you concoct and need to be kept in hyper awareness whenever you choose.
Of course that's just me. You may not have the skill set for psychological warfare. Your mileage may vary.
anybody ever come to your door by mistake and what did they say.
You live in Scotland, I'm not sure about the law of the land.
Can you turn him in anonamously. Let the law enforcement officials decide what to do. If it's dangerous, I'd consider moving, wait 2-3 months then turn him in. One less drug dealer is one less dangeous person floating around your neighborhood when SHTF.

My uncle helped raise me.
Besides my mother and grandmother he had the most influence on me growing up. I remember him as the one man who would take the time to do things with me.
I remember when I was in the Boy Scouts, he bought my brother and me those little gravity cars and he spent all day carving them for us and helping us paint them, etc. When he was done he and a friend injected heroin. I remember him telling me that my mother would be by in a little while to pick us up and not to leave the yard, just before he collapsed on the kitchen floor. When my mother got there she checked him to make sure he was breathing and took us home.
He was the kind of man who illicit fear wherever he goes. Half the county was deathly afraid of him but I remember him as the guy who dressed up as Santa for my elementary school... In between classes he was out back smoking a joint but his heart was in the right place....lol
I saw him do some things that you wouldn't believe to other people. Things that Idi Amin or Hitler, if they could see him, would say "Damm man you are pure evil"... I know people who were so afraid of him they moved 2000 miles to get away because they knew what he would do to them if he found them.
I don't consider him to have been an overly angry man or even a mean man because of the memories I have of him. He was good to me and he loved me during a time when nobody else could be bothered to spend time with me.
Don't worry he'll be robbed before you know it.
No smart dealer delivers from his own house.

Well... I had a drug dealer down the street and I happend to drive the same car.. one day after comeing from the gun range i see 4 asian see me and pull out and follow me to my house then I get out and they like O sorry wrong person... I had a 12 gage in my hand while getting out... I knew what they wanted I saw that they had a gun inbetween 2 people in the back when I drove by... so I just happend to take my gun out early... but then they noticed that I wasnt east indian like they guy up the street and they knew they had the wrong person... few weeks latter he came speeding home car full of bullet holes and runs into his house grabs a bag then speeds off in his other car... never came back sold his house few month latter.. Thats the problem with some drug dealers.. doesnt matter that they small time or big time in the wrong area thats someone else turf they going to want to pop them and if you drive the same car as them they might bust down your door thinking it was the person they trying to gets house... dam drug dealers seem to like my street... just to live in the area and blend in they dont have house calls.. but you know what they are upto its in plain sight too..
Most drug dealers like flash.. new cars flashy clothing.. and they like to say friendly stand out but not to much so they can sell there stuff... If people didnt buy it wouldnt be a problem..
I have the same problem the lady who lives across the street people in and out all hours of the day, I know she is dealing drugs she offered to sell to me, when I refused I became the bad nieghbor. I have wrestled with same question should I turn her in?, or would it make a difference I don't care what people do in their own homes but she rents the property, section 8 so we the working people get to pay for it. The best part about it is all the trash and junk in her yard and the stuff her friends throw into mine.

Sale of George Washington letter could set record
By Basil Katz
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - A signed four-page letter from George Washington to his nephew is expected to break sales records in one of two manuscript auctions at Christie's in New York this week.
The letter, which will be sold on Friday, could fetch up to $2.5 million dollars which would smash the previous record of $834,500 set in 2002 for a Washington document.
The letter by the first president of the United States was written from Mount Vernon, Washington's home for more than 45 years, on November 9, 1787.
"It is far and away the most significant and the richest in terms of content," of Washington's letters, said Chris Coover, an expert at Christies.
This is the first time the letter has been publicly exhibited, although it has already been reproduced.
In the letter, Washington shared his firm support for the ratification of the American Constitution.
"The letter is one of the most explicit and strongly worded letters regarding the Constitution," said Coover, adding that the candor and passion of the letter help to explain the high price tag.
As part of the same auction, Christie's will sell a very rare manuscript of author Vladimir Nabokov's last, unfinished and unpublished novel, "The Original Laura". Continued...

There is an often-asked question: 'When are we finally going to start seeing nanotechnology products on the market?' As a matter of fact, the average home is already filled with products enhanced or reliant upon nanotechnology. In fact, there are several online repositories listing the more than 2,000 commercially available products that incorporate nanotechnology. The application of nanotechnology in some areas, such as batteries, microelectronics and sunscreens is relatively well known. Let's take a virtual tour through a home to see what else we can find.Posted: Jul 5th, 2016
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are the most poisonous substances known to humans, with a median lethal dose (LD50) of 1ng per kg of body weight and are the cause of the life-threatening neuroparalytic illness botulism. Recent assays are very promising for practical use, they require expensive and technically complex equipment. Meeting a need for further development of assays for detection of BoNTs, researchers now have developed a nanopore-based assay for detection of BoNT-B.Posted: Jan 12th, 2015
White-light-emitting diodes have many advantages over forms of lighting - incandescent, fluorescent and halogen - and this solid-state lighting technique is bound to make major inroads into the commercial and household markets. Researchers have now designed precursors and chemical processes to synthesize intercrossed carbon nanomaterials with relatively pure hydroxy surface states for the first time, which enable them to overcome the aggregation-induced quenching (AIQ) effect, and to emit stable yellow-orange luminescence in both colloidal and solid states.Posted: Nov 25th, 2014
Impurities during the production process of liquid crystal devices result in mobile ions that influence the LCs' field-induced switching phenomena, resulting in a phenomenon called image sticking, or ghosting. Researchers now have developed a method to reduce the presence of excess ions by doping LCDs with ferroelectric nanoparticles. They demonstrate that this reduction of free ions has coherent impacts on the LC's conductivity, rotational viscosity, and electric field-induced nematic switching.Posted: Oct 16th, 2014
Electrochromic devices are some of the most attractive candidates for paper-like displays, so called electronic paper, which will be the next generation display. Researchers have now demonstrated solid state flexible polymer based electrochromic devices are fabricated continuously by stacking layers in one direction. This novel bottom-up approach with no need for a lamination step enables fully printed and 2D patterned organic electrochromics.Posted: Sep 17th, 2014
In order to fabricate entirely flexible electronic devices, the components that power them - such as batteries - not only need to be fully flexible as well but they have to be compatible with commercially available manufacturing technologies. This would require achieving a high degree of deformability without using elastomeric materials. Researchers have now demonstrated the fabrication of a highly deformable lithium-ion battery using standard electrodes and commercially standard packaging technologies.Posted: Feb 7th, 2014
Their unique combinations of liquid and solid-like properties allow liquid crystals to be used pervasively in the electro-optical display technology - known as liquid crystal display (LCD). In new work, researchers have observed that a dilute suspension of a small amount of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in a nematic liquid crystal (in the nematic LC phase the molecules are oriented in parallel but not arranged in well-defined planes) results in a significantly faster nematic switching effect on application of an electric field.Posted: Dec 13th, 2013
Researchers have exploited the extraordinary electrical and mechanical properties of graphene to create a very efficient electrical/sound transducer. This experimental graphene loudspeaker, without any optimized acoustic design, is simple to make and already performs comparably to or better than similar sized commercial counterparts, and with much lower power consumption. Most speakers available today reproduce sound via a mechanical diaphragm, which is displaced oscillatorily during operation. A wide-band audio speaker typically requires significant damping to broaden the response. Even without optimization, the graphene speaker is able to produce frequency response across the whole audible region, comparable or superior to performance of conventional-design commercial counterparts.Posted: Mar 21st, 2013

CHICAGO -- The Green Bay Packers took a 10-7 lead over the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field under a freakish set of circumstances. But ultimately, the play came as the result of failure by the home team to play heads-up football.
With 3:28 left in the opening half, Julius Peppers sacked Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers from behind as Rodgers attempted to throw the ball. The ball came loose and hit the cold, damp turf at Soldier Field. Players from both teams froze, but officials never blew the play dead.
As the players watched, Rodgers appeared to scream out to Jarrett Boykin to scoop up the ball, which he alertly did, before romping 15 yards for a touchdown.
Officials immediately reviewed the play and determined that Rodgers fumbled as opposed to throwing incomplete, and confirmed the original call of a Boykin touchdown.
Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker will take some heat for the club's defense not being more alert and not following the tenet of playing until the whistle is blown, something that is taught to players at every level, all the way down to the youth leagues. Surely, some will question whether a defense coached by Lovie Smith would have let such a play occur.
Given what's on the line -- the NFC North title and a berth in the playoffs -- all those criticisms would be legitimate, even though I tend toward placing the blame on the players in this instance.
Either way, the Bears need to find a way to bounce back.
At intermission, the Bears trail 13-7, and the Packers get the ball to start the second half.

What are all you HOT weather blue collar ladies and gents carrying? I am loathe to think of trying to fit my full size USP .40 under my tool belt, hidden only by my tee shirt. You all know the drill, bending and lifting, in close-quarters with others. Y'all really carry IWB, OWB or stuff more like kel-tecs in ankle holsters?

I work construction (mechanical contractor) with lots of bending squatting and rolling around on the ground. I also wear a tool belt about half the time.
I carry a Bersa Thunder .380 in a Don Hume IWB clip on holster every minute of every work day. In the summer I wear 2 T shirts. One tucked in to keep something between me and my pistol and one long one untucked that covers everything.
I have never been made. It is seldom uncomfortable, and only once has the holster come off of my belt and I could feel it happening so it caused no problem.
When it gets too hot for a shirt I go with a smart carry.
Heck you dont have to drop to a Kel-Tec for an ankle carry. In super heat when doing labor I do tend to go to a ankle rig but carrying something a lil bigger (minimum 38 spl). Now that Kahr has come out with the PM45 it will be small enought to easily conceal on the ankle [B]BUT[B] you will need to clean it often as a semi-auto worn on the ankle (actually any weapon) collects alot of dirt which can gum up a semi more than it will a revolver.
"Respect all ... Fear none!!!
Is it against the law to accidentally flash a concealed weapon in Florida?
It isn't here in TN and that really makes a difference to my carry options. I do construction, not on sites anymore but I do work outside putting in decks, fences, stuff like that. If the surroundings are right I open carry, if not I carry a gun that can handle sweat.
If not I just carry my KelTec in my pocket or even put my main carry in the truck. I don't like putting it in the truck and only do that when I absolutely have to, which translates to nearly never.

I can't speak for the more progressive areas of Florida, but if you flash it here on the Redneck Riviera it becomes, if even momentarily, an open carry. Open carry's a no-no unless you're a LEO.
And "discretion" is a good point...the majority of the LEO's I deal with are understanding, stand-up folks, but we do have more than a few that will load you up. Had one a couple years ago where a guy flashed in a grocery store and management called it in. He was scruffy-looking, unshaven, etc., and I believe that's one of the factors that came into play. (He was also a mouthy jerk to the responding officer). Anyway, in short, he went to jail. If I recall, the charge was something along the lines of "improper exhibition." Adjudication withheld, court costs & fines, 6-months probation, some community service, costs of supervision and attorney fees. It's been awhile but I think it cost him around $3500.
We also have an informal charge here called "POP." It's an acronym for "Pi--ing off the police."

When I was working I carried a small automatic in my tool box or a 357 behind the truck seat. I only had to use it once but was lucky and did not have to shoot. The sight of the gun was all it took.
I work in a woodshop all day carrying either a 1911 IWB or when it's summer a J Frame Airweight .38 in a pocket holster. Don't usually wear a tool belt though. With a tool belt on I would probably stay with pocket carry.

Someone needs to market a toolbelt with a built in holster!
Welcome to the forum.
I think a J frame S&W in a pocket holster is about
perfect for this situation.

Snub nose in a Smartcarry most every day
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Toss a P3AT in your pocket and call it good. If you check out the posts over at KGOG, you'll see that some folks wear these things around their necks in kydex holsters. That's stretching it a bit for me, but people do it.
I carry my P3AT all the time, everywhere, with any clothing combination...either IWB with the clip, or in a pocket holster.
That's what I think.
The keys to winning a gunfight are first to bring a gun and secondly to take your time, quickly.
Always remember that if your opponent is within range, so are you.
Thanks for the welcomes, and the advice. I'm leaning toward a P3AT for pocket carry.
A witty saying proves nothing.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Jones...a tarp will help but the bigger problem is the impact force rather than the residual water left behind to drain.
Hey Captain,
Thanks for the view from the other side. I didn't expect to hear many pros for the offshore davit set up. I am with you all the way on the benefits of the ketch rig with the exception of the "davit stays". Interesting twist on your standing rigging set up. My davits were home built and probably over engineered to the point you could lift the whole boat by the davits themselves. I am sure that the rig could handle the dingy weight, even swamped, but more concerned about the sudden force of a breaking wave. Why have small cockpits for ocean sailing only to hang a big dingy on the back? I suppose I could limit the strength of the hoisting tackle so that it would break in such circumstances? But then again, if I am in the middle of a breaking sea a davit that has just parted its tackle is the last thing I would want to deal with. I just hate to sell such a good dink. I am still a little split on this one.
|LW...I keep my caribe on davits while cruising offshore with the dinghy outboard secured on deck. I always choose an acceptable weather window, but that doesn't mean I won't be caught in some short term squall. I don't know the weight of your hard dinghy, but their not always heavier that the inflatables. As you have the ketch rig, be sure to consider some of your unique options. Not only can you use a halyard on your mizzen to assist in moving your outboard on and off your dinghy, you can use such running rigging to support the load on your davits. I have permanently attached adjustable backstays from the top of my mizzen to the aft end of each of my davits. You must consider the impact on the strength of your standing rigging and the transmission of this load through your triactic and forestay. Of course be sure this would clear your mizzen boom as well. I also keep the load within my dinghy light while offshore; removing the dinghy anchor, fuel tank,etc.. and I have redundant lines preventing the dinghy motion and chafe. On inshore and protected waters I leave the outboard and load in the dinghy for convenience. I've been cruising with these added "davit stays" since 1986 and since 1995 they have also helped support a 100 watt solar panel. The only negative affect has been an additional prep for entering the travel-lift stern first. 'Take care and joy,-Stewart Force onboard Aythya, email email@example.com
|Thanks guys. You've confirmed what I was afraid of. The tender was a part of the purchase transaction and I was hoping to save a few bucks, but I don't think I can get away with it. Too big and heavy for the deck means it is time to get a new dingy for offshore work. Any idea what a custom built 12 ft. fiberglass dingy is worth on the used market?
Davits on a normal sized cruising boat are great for coastal waters and island-hopping. If you are not a superyacht or a Big cat, you wouldn't want to use them offshore. Hard dinghies are great. If you find one that fits on your deck because of the size or because it is a two pieces dinghy, buy it. If you decide for a Rib, don't make the same mistake I did: Buy a hypalon inflatable. The sun destroyed my first 3 inflatables within 2 years. Then I bought a Caribe 8 in Hypalon and after 7 years it is still on deck inflated under the tropical sun: it is very stable to carry second anchors of 45lb, the weight is in the right place of the boat when crossing, and it is also our liferaft, ready for launching. But if you have the space on deck, take a 9 or 10 ft.
|LW...I would definitely go for a Rib on deck. I don't think you realize how stable and safe they are in use. I have carried out second anchors in tough weather on my 10 footer with no problem at all. The dangers of getting a hard dink on davits pooped are significantly greater I think.
Cruising with a Hard Dingy on Davits
So I am having a hard time reconciling something in my mind. I've got a heavy duty 12 foot hard dingy on davits with a 15hp outboard. We are gearing up for a long offshore cruise, and while I like the dingy for its seaworthiness it becomes exactly the opposite while underway. It's too heavy and large to bring on deck for stowage, but seems a great danger to leave on the davits should we encounter a breaking sea.
So where is the best compromise here? Sell the old hard dingy for one of the new hard bottom inflatable that can be stowed on deck, but that may not be as reliable as transport in heavier seas when you need it to take out a second anchor. Or, keep the heavy duty dingy on the davits and just wait for the perfect weather window every time? What scares me is what to do when it really gets nasty. I like the series drogue as the best storm option, but with a dingy waiting to get swamped turning the boat stern to doesn't seem a great idea. I guess I could ride a sea anchor and hoist a riding sail on the mizzen which would minimize the dingy exposure to heavy, breaking seas.
How have others handled this?

TAMPA — In 1976, Lee Roy Selmon had just arrived to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when a newspaper man pulled him aside.
His name? Tom McEwen. "He told me," said Selmon, "he was someone I needed to know."
He wasn't kidding.
McEwen, a former Tampa Tribune sports columnist who died Sunday at age 88 and was remembered at a memorial service Friday, gets a lot of credit for helping turn Tampa Bay into a sports community:
He helped bring — and keep — the Bucs. He helped lured professional soccer and hockey. He lobbied for favorite players to win top honors, from Selmon's 1995 NFL Hall of Fame induction to Steve Spurrier's 1966 Heisman trophy.
McEwen even helped pave the way for Selmon's post-football career in banking, introducing him to some important contacts.
"Tom McEwen was largely responsible for all of it," said Leonard Levy, one of a group of Tampa businessmen in the early 1970s to lobby the NFL for a pro football franchise.
McEwen's funeral was held Friday at St. Lawrence Catholic Church. It was a who's who of the sports world, and the city.
Former Bucs coach Jon Gruden. Retired football player Freddie Solomon. Bucs owner Bryan Glazer. Tampa Bay Lightning founder Phil Esposito. Baseball players Wade Boggs and Tino Martinez. Developer and former San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo. Former Rays owner Vince Naimoli.
Former Tampa Mayor Dick Greco. Mayor Bob Buckhorn. Every Tampa Bay sports team was represented.
Spurrier, who gave one of the eulogies, said McEwen had a hand in helping shape his own career.
McEwen persuaded the United States Football League's Tampa Bay Bandits to give Spurrier his first head coaching job. Then in 1985, he called Spurrier and said, 'Spurrier, do you realize you're not in the college hall of fame? ... We're going to do something about that.'
The next year, Spurrier was inducted.
"He was a winner," said Spurrier, now the University of South Carolina football coach. "He ran to the end. He finished his race."
Spurrier then got everyone to stand up and hold up their arms, as if they were in a locker room huddle. "One, two, three," he said, and people shouted, "Go Tom!"
Levy, who also spoke, noted that McEwen played an unusual role for a journalist.
"He was an activist. That's rare among the media today, but thank God he was," said Levy.
McEwen was often criticized for never writing negative columns about the business group that was pushing for an NFL franchise.
"How could he?" Levy said, with a chuckle. "He was telling us what to do."
McEwen realized early on that provincialism could stand in the way of success. Lightning founder Esposito recalled in an interview his first meeting with McEwen in 1989 at Malio's, the Tampa steak house and institution.
Esposito said he asked: Could hockey survive in Tampa?
"Yes it can, but it's not Tampa," McEwen told him. "It's Tampa Bay. Don't forget that."
WFLA-AM 970 radio host Jack Harris joked that McEwen "wasn't a stickler for grammar." But he said McEwen had mastered the art of the interview: luring in the subjects and making them comfortable.
"Here I was listening to Tom talking to Bear Bryant like he was a long lost brother," he said. "You wanted to be interviewed by Tom because you knew it was going to be special."
Though he was a wiseacre, who never let anyone — including his priest — dilly-dally too long in conversation, McEwen was also remembered for his common touch.
Bucs general manager Mark Dominik, who worked his way up through the ranks of the franchise, said McEwen treated him the same throughout his career — no matter what rung he happened to be on.
"Tom has always been gracious to me," said Dominik. "He reached out to me early on. He kept the same demeanor."
Bucs fan Jackie Riles, 73, and her son, Pat, took the bus to McEwen's funeral. She wore Bucs gear, and Pat wore his Gators shirt. Riles held up a sign that said "Thanks for the memories Tom."
It was McEwen who dubbed Riles "Tampa's Pillow Lady" for the thousands of pillows she crocheted over the years for Bucs players, Lightning players and even celebrities from Oprah Winfrey to Cloris Leachman.
"We lost a good one," she said.

Make a Victorian handicap accessible
Hello everybody. I have a doosie of a problem I'm working on, and I have my hat in my hand asking this question. I'd like to ask the entire community here to think if they've ever seen this or come across this:
I have a life long friend whose husband got cold cocked by a serious health event this year, and they have to try and find a way to make a older house (Victorian I believe) handicap friendly (wheelchair, ramp, etc). I'm going to be getting some photos in a day or two, but for now, does any know of anyone else who converted a Victorian for H/C access?
I already know the requirements. I'm more interested in hearing about or seeing what other folks have done to Victorians. She's concerned that a half-way job will imprison her hubby in a room or two.
Any and all suggestions and ideas will be brought to her attention. If a critical mass of ideas are generated here, I'm going to direct her here to this thread, so don't be shy in saying Hi to Lisa and saying a prayer or two for them.
There are a huge number of things you could do, from increasing the sizes of the interior and exterior doors for wheelchair access, to a "curb-less" shower transition to lower tables and making room under cabinets for ease of access.
This is a residence so there are no "prescriptive" or Federal Guidelines that you are required to follow for ADA if that is part of your inquiry.
Could you be more specific as to his needs?
I've done a little handicap work,too.
As usual pictures will help--
And as Andy said---how handicapped?
