Keep Austin Weird
Keep Austin Weird is the slogan adopted by the Austin Independent Business Alliance to promote small businesses in Austin, Texas. It is intended to promote local businesses and is inspired by comments made by Red Wassenich in 2000 while giving a pledge to an Austin radio station.[1] He later began printing bumper stickers and now operates the website keepaustinweird.com and published Keep Austin Weird: A Guide to the Odd Side of Town.[2]
Despite a challenge from Wassenich, the slogan was later trademarked by Outhouse Designs and used to market T-shirts, hats, and mugs.[3][4][5] Other cities adopted similar slogans later, such as Portland, Oregon in 2003,[6] Louisville in 2005,[7] and Indianapolis in 2013.[8]
A recently released book on the topic, Weird City: Sense of Place and Creative Resistance in Austin, Texas,[9] discusses the cultural evolution of the "Keep Austin Weird" movement as well as its commercialization and socio-political significance.[10][11]
The Austin Independent Business Alliance is among at least 85 community organizations affiliated with the American Independent Business Alliance, a national non-profit that supports and connects pro-local community-based organizations.

Worries mount for German 'Mittelstand' as election looms
By Michelle Martin
BERLIN (Reuters) - Christof Rosenberg has been trying for a year to find a skilled toolmaker for the specialist pipe company he runs with his two brothers in western Germany.
Two recruits he brought in and trained failed to master the job. Now he's having to delay projects by up to six weeks and that's hurting business at Aquatherm, the 450-strong firm Rosenberg's father set up in his garage four decades ago.
"The market is completely devoid of well-qualified workers," Rosenberg told Reuters from the company's headquarters in Attendorn, an industrial town 90 kilometers east of Cologne.
Aquatherm, which makes plastic pipes for heating and air conditioning, is not alone among German "Mittelstand" companies - the small and medium-sized, often family-run, manufacturing firms that form the backbone of Europe's largest economy.
A recent study by consulting firm Ernst & Young showed three of every four German Mittelstand firms are struggling to find suitable employees due to an acute shortage of skilled labor.
And that's not the only problem worrying the sector ahead of a federal election in September in which Chancellor Angela Merkel is seen likely to win a third term, in part due to the relative strength of the German economy.
Slowing growth, rising energy prices, tightening credit conditions and a pre-election debate about tax hikes are also unnerving firms across Germany, including those that have weathered years of crisis in Europe with hardly any damage.
Reuters spoke with a dozen Mittelstand firms about their business prospects ahead of the vote. Most said they had a higher headcount now than three years ago, considered their business situation to be satisfactory and planned to invest around the same amount as last year. Continued...

Evolutionary theory demonstrates that nothing endures in
Nature that doesn't provide some form of adaptive behavior
for the good of Nature as a whole. There is ample historical,
scientific and anthropological evidence to demonstrate that
same-sex oriented people have been and are, critical components
in the development of healthy, integrated societies concerned
with deeper values and spiritual community.
To demonstrate the essential, unique gifts that the often
marginalized GLBT community plays in the spiritual development
of humankind, White Crane Institute seeks to reclaim, through
self reflection, scholarly study, and research, the traditional
and natural role of GLBT people in the evolution of contemporary

Brooke and Eric's Wedding
"Your browser may not support display of this image. All Brides To-Be, Walter Pawluk came highly recommended by my wedding planner, Kelly Demaray. I declined my planner's referral and shared with her that we were paying for our own wedding and felt that a photographer would be enough. As the months passed and I gathered pictures of my family and my Dad who recently passed, I realized it would not be fair to our future children to not document our wedding via video especially considering the age of technology we live in. Therefore, I decided to only cover the ceremony. My fiancé and I fell in love with Walter's website and his sample videos. It was obvious he put together a mini movie that captures the day, the personalities, and the uniqueness of each family member. He didn't do the cheesy interviews and he caught sincere moments that only someone behind the scenes that had an inherent sense for recognizing something special could capture. As our wedding neared, I was so impressed with Walter and his follow-up that I extended his video services to the arrival of our reception location. I must admit, I was completely blown away by the amazing job that Walter did for us. Not only did we purchase a video but we worked with Walter to create separate video that we used as a thank you to send all of our guests. It was witty, thoughtful and unique. We received an overwhelming response from all of the recipients that this was one of the best wedding thank yous they had ever received. It also gives us another special memento from our wedding day. Beyond referring Walter to any bride or groom looking for a videographer, I would also highly emphasize splurging and making sure you hire Walter to cover your entire wedding from getting ready to all of the speeches. We regret that we did not take his advice and do so. Walter Pawluk www.walterpawluk.com Link to our wedding thank you video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u2zoaYhXMM"

NEWS BRIEF Woman-Friendly Websites, Elizabeth Warren, Stoning
August 23, 2010Tomorrow's Media Needs To Be Wired, Inspired And For Women 8/22/10 Guardian: Many national newspapers have more male readers than female. But that gap is closing fast, and the successes of female-friendly websites like Mail Online are beginning to suggest a clear direction for the future. Consumers Clamoring For A Leader 8/20/10 NY Times: With the president on vacation, nobody expects him to make an appointment to the new federal bureau until he returns at the end of August. But if he chooses anyone but Elizabeth Warren, he will be widely seen as helping the banks at the expense of the rest of us — something the government has been accused of doing far too often since those grim days of September 2008. Crime (Sex) and Punishment (Stoning) 8/21/10 NY Times: Much of the outrage generated from stoning in the 21st century seems to stem from the gulf between sexual attitudes in the West and parts of the Islamic world, where some radical movements have turned to draconian punishments, and a vision of restoring a long-lost past, in their search for religious authenticity. Why Do We Need Female Journalists With Technical Expertise? 8/20/10 Poynter Online: When reading Mallory Jean Tenore's list of 20 South by Southwest Interactive panels that journalists should vote for, some people wondered: Where are all the women? Only two of the 20 panelists she mentioned are women. The Constitution According To Laura Schlessinger 8/20/10 Huffington Post: The First Amendment of the Constitution protects one's right to say whatever you darn well please. It does not, however, protect critics from responding. And it certainly doesn't permit one's corporate sponsors from exerting any sort of control over what they endorse. Will Women Ever Achieve Equality? 8/21/10 Alternet: Ninety years ago, a young man named Harry T. Burn, at the insistence of his mother to "be a good boy," changed his vote from "nay" to "yea," and the generations-long struggle for women's suffrage was at last won. Sally Takes On Mosque Controversy On Fox News 8/18/10 Movement Vision: If we want to protect America, we have to protect our core values first and foremost. And that includes religious tolerance and freedom. Hawaii Passes On Chance Of Female Chief Justice 8/20/10 Women's eNews: Female judges are certainly nothing new. But it was still noteworthy when Hawaii's first female governor tried and failed earlier this month to name the first woman chief justice to the Hawaii Supreme Court. Setback For Women's Rights In Afghanistan? 8/20/10 CBS: The prospect of bringing the Taliban to the bargaining table is raising fears that the rights of girls and women in Afghanistan will be sacrificed. Old Bombs Shatter Laotian Women's Lives 8/22/10 Women's eNews: War-era ordnance kills and maims hundreds of Laotian villagers each year. Eighty-five percent of victims are men, leaving numerous women to fend for their families. Bangladesh Court Says Women Should Not Be Forced To Wear Burqas At Educational Institutes 8/23/10 Canadian Press: Bangladesh's High Court ordered the government to ensure women will not be forced to wear burqas at educational institutions after one college reportedly barred females without the veil from entering. At Least 150 Women Raped In Weekend Raid In Congo 8/22/10 NY Times: A mob of Rwandan rebels gang-raped at least 150 women last month during a weekend raid on a community of villages in eastern Congo, United Nations and other humanitarian officials said Sunday. Joumana Haddad: 'I Live In A Country That Hates Me' 8/21/10 Guardian: Joumana Haddad is a ferocious critic of sexism in Lebanon, and her erotic magazine has brought death threats. A new book is her fiercest attack yet on Arab culture. So what drives her? AS Byatt Says Women Who Write Intellectual Books Seen As Unnatural 8/20/10 Guardian: Grande dame of literature AS Byatt criticizes Orange prize for fiction saying there is no such thing as feminine subject matter. Women who write smart, demanding novels are perceived by critics as strange and unnatural, "like a dog standing on its hind legs," the novelist AS Byatt tonight told the Edinburgh international book festival. Harnessing Women's Spending Power To Help The Environment 8/23/10 Washington Post: While men and women are increasingly looking for healthier products, research shows that women are usually making the choices about what to feed their families and what kinds of detergents to use. "Women are looking for safer cosmetics, baby bottles, greener cleaners, safer health care, and for the most part they've only recently understood that something that's more environmentally friendly and green is likely to be safer and healthier." Birth Control Doesn't Have To Mean The Pill 8/20/10 NY Times: About half of all pregnancies — three million annually — are unintended. About half of the women who have an unplanned pregnancy are using birth control at the time, according to a 2009 study by the Guttmacher Institute. Beer Linked To Psoriasis In Women 8/22/10 USA Today: Women who drink regular beer may be increasing their risk of developing psoriasis, an autoimmune disorder affecting the skin, new findings suggest. Other options, such as light beer and wine, were not linked to such a risk.

Machimana retains SA title
By Ron Jackson
In a poor excuse for a title fight Osborne Machimana retained his South African heavyweight title for the fifth time when he stopped Bull Muravha at 2 minutes 47 seconds into the eighth round at the Nasrec Indoor Arena, Johannesburg on Sunday afternoon. The 31-year-old Machimana came into the ring with a tyre around his waist and weighed in at a flabby 122kg against the smaller and inexperienced Muravha who hit the scales at 98.02kg.
The fight was more like a sparring session through the first seven rounds. The champion was slow and ponderous and hardly landed a scoring blow as he plodded around the ring. The only scoring blows came from the southpaw challenger who was able to land with some light taps and was possibly ahead before the stoppage.
In round eight Machimana picked up the pace and dropped Muravha with a left-right combination against the ropes. He was able to beat the count but soon afterwards after a flurry of blows he went down in the neutral corner. He managed to get up but basically quit as he turned his back on referee Sazi Xamlashe who waved the fight off.
Machimana improved his record to 18-6-1; 13 and Muravha's record as announced from the ring dropped to 7-5-1.
The judges were Joseph Chaane, Thabo Spampool and Dawid van Nieuwenhuizen.
Other results: Junior bantamweight: Jason Kinnear beat Nhlanhla Nguni, pts 4; Junior welterweight: Luyanda Jako beat Sifiso Mthethwa, pts 4; Junior bantamweight: Sipho Nkadimeng, draw 6, Phumzile Matyila; Junior heavyweight: Illunga Makuba beat Ben Moakamela, tko 2; Super middleweight: Hanson Baloyi beat Emmanuel Duma, tko 2.
The tournament was presented by Pat Molefe of Rainbow Promotions.

We offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 81 year old body.
I never see ads offering to help thin people become obese.
A day went by without Rick Santorum telling about his coal miner grandfather.
She enters, gazes around the diner, leaves. A missed romance?
I rarely shake my head to indicate agreement with a speaker. I am a one nod person.
I wonder if God sleeps.
A painful memory should be allowed to sleep in the past.
We live today, but our minds spend time in the past and in the future.
I am constantly told to "have a good one," but no one tells me what constitutes a good one.
People claim to love Jesus. That is not the question, the question is: does He love you?
I await an ad that says: "No Sales Today, Just Regular Prices."
Little children wave at me, and I always wave back.
Some rub hands on entering a diner. I don't.
In the end, the most important statement one can make is: "I am alive."
An elderly man stumbled into the bagel shop, gee, I am glad not to be an elderly man.

The Written Word,…
Dear Charlie & Teddy
When you arrived last weekend for Ashleigh's
birthday party, you changed a sad little girl to a
child with a huge smile. Since we lost her Daddy
last year, life has been difficult for both of us. Her
dream has been to ride a unicorn, and you made
her dream come true. You have given us memories
for a lifetime
Thank you from Ashleigh & Karyn
Dear Barb, Frank & All the Members of the Charlie's Pride Ponies
I just wanted to let you know Liberty still won't stop talking about Peanut! She has been carrying her picture of her and Peanut around all day. I would like to thank you for putting a smile on my little girls face. That is something I don't see very often as we don't usually get to do fun things with Daddy being gone so much. Hopefully we will be able to bring her up to visit with Peanut and the other ponies soon, if that is alright with you all. Anyway, once again thank you and please feel free to keep in touch with us.
Thank You
Ashley Davenport

Solid-surface counter-tops
Has anyone tried installing diy solid-surface counter-tops? We are pretty advanced DIYers--any pitfalls, and/or advice would be appreciated. The other option we are considering is DIY granite---We would like quartz, but I haven't found any availability for that for DIYers. Thanx--Marti Jo
This is not a DIYer project, it has to be measured perfectly and cut to size with equipment you don't have or can use, unless you have thousands of $s laying around for this stuff.:)
The only way to get a stone look at a cheaper price is to install granite tile there, that you can do.:)
I would lean towards getting a professional. But it might be possible for you to rent time with the specialized machine you will need.

SPE Mid-Continent Luncheon Meeting — Wednesday, October 16, 2013
11:20 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
Summit Club, 30th Floor, Banquet Room
Speaker: Brad Berg, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, *Distinguished Lecturer*
Topic: "Characterizing Shale Plays — The Importance of Recognizing What You Don't Know"
Shale plays typically exhibit much more uncertainty in individual well performance than conventional reservoirs. Understanding this uncertainty is particularly critical during the exploration drilling program when one has relatively few wells on which to base decisions. A systematic approach to understanding and managing this uncertainty can be used to address key questions during the early phases of a drilling program, including "how many wells do I need to drill before I have confidence in the results?" and "does the well performance I've seen to date provide the encouragement needed to keep drilling?" To answer these questions, one must quantify the uncertainty surrounding individual well results. Key elements of this evaluation process include: 1) identifying analogs that can provide insights into the level of well performance uncertainty to expect; 2) stochastically modeling the potential range of well results from the testing program; 3) deciding what level of risk is acceptable to the decision-makers; and 4) planning and executing a testing program that incorporates these elements.
The primary take-away from this presentation is that it is critical to recognize, and properly characterize, uncertainty in shale well production performance when planning an exploration drilling program in shale plays. Without such an approach, the commercial potential of a play may not be adequately characterized, leaving the decision-makers without the information needed to determine the path forward. Understanding the uncertainty in well performance, and planning for it, will lead to more efficient exploration activity, and better informed decision-making.
Brad Berg, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
Brad Berg serves as Reservoir Engineering Manager for U.S. Onshore Exploration with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, one of the world's largest independent E&P Companies. His responsibilities include advising senior management on the commercial viability of opportunities in the company's diverse exploration portfolio. In his current role, he has been instrumental in developing the methodology and tools that Anadarko uses to evaluate unconventional resource plays. His team has assisted in the evaluation, capture, and appraisal of Anadarko's positions in the Marcellus, Maverick EagleFord, Avalon, and Ohio Utica shale plays, and they continue to support exploration efforts in other promising areas of the U.S. onshore. Brad has also served as the Reservoir Engineering Manager for Anadarko's Gulf of Mexico deepwater exploration team, asset manager for the mid-continent U.S. region, and has also contributed to the development of several world class conventional reservoirs including the Prudhoe Bay, Kuparuk, and Alpine fields in Alaska.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Boulder's Common Era store is a veritable gold mine of low-priced hipster threads, from technicolor jeans to frilly sequined tops to wide pleather belts and dangerously tall boots. Owner Debra Mazur's vision is of a cheap, ever-changing inventory that you can't find anywhere else in Colorado, so she buys exclusively from small East and West Coast manufacturers that specialize in limited clothing runs, which means that the unbelievable turquoise pants you came across this week probably won't be there next week. Best of all, Mazur and her sales staff make all their jewelry by hand, giving Common Era the feel of a "fashion think tank." And last summer, Mazur opened a second store at 1543 Platte Street in Denver, which means that shoppers here have an outpost nearby.
Just a few years ago, the most romantic thing going on East Colfax was the Kitty's on Clarkson Street. That changed when the Tattered Cover and Twist & Shout moved into the former Lowenstein Theater complex. Recent additions have transformed the once-abandoned block into a stimulating spot — and an ideal place to break the ice on a first date. The Tattered Cover's coffee and comfortable chairs provide the setting for a get-to-know-you chat, while Encore Restaurant, with its low lighting and extensive wine list, is a nice noshing option. If things go well, take in a movie on one of Neighborhood Flix Cinema & Cafe's canoodle-friendly couches. And if things don't go well, you can always ease the pain with a little browsing at the record store. The place is much more telling — and a lot more fun — than an eHarmony compatibility profile.
We all need a good shopping bag these days, one that's durable and pretty and won't lose its cool when stuffed full of fresh produce. For one thing, it's good for the environment, but where Mission Wear is concerned, it's also good for the community: The nonprofit not only produces a pleasing selection of said bags from natural, organic and recycled fabrics, but it does so while providing jobs for former women convicts now trying to find their footing in the mainstream world.
The Grand Hyatt Downtown is always looking for hotel packages that will make guests feel good, so when the hotel's Maryann Yuthas came up with the idea for a self-guided Microbrew Walking Tour Package more than five years ago, it was a natural. And over the years, the tour has worked out well enough to keep the buzz going. The weekend package includes overnight accommodations, two pints each at the Denver ChopHouse & Brewery, Rock Bottom Brewery and the Wynkoop Brewing Company; one pint at Breckenridge Brewery; and one flight of beer and a 20 percent discount on beer and gear at Great Divide Brewing Company. "This really delivers Denver," Yuthas says. Indeed it does.
Hotel Monaco pushes its pet-friendliness — a "goldfish companion" is available if you're not traveling with your own furry pal. But it's the treatment of the human clientele that really stands out, from the solicitous concierge to the evening wine hour to the on-premises Renaissance Aveda Spa & Salon to the top-flight meals at Panzano. It's the kind of rose-petal-turndown place that builds a loyal following even among hardened business travelers and makes locals plan exotic weekend getaways in the heart of the city, of all places.
Close enough to the urban core to be a short walk or free shuttle ride to downtown amenities, but far enough away to provide free parking, the Burnsley is a class act. The all-suite rooms are spacious, many with great views of the skyline — yet they're half the cost of what you'd pay for a marble-lined broom closet just a few blocks away. The staff is friendly, the neighborhood calm, and the restaurant serves a killer Reuben, which makes this the perfect place to stash visiting relatives or tightwad business associates looking to live large but not too large.

Antiseptic may have contributed to the deaths of three babies, officials have warned.
Doctors have been urged to be careful when administering an antiseptic on tiny babies after health officials noted a number of cases of chemical burns in premature youngsters wiped down with the solution.
Experts at the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) warned that a number of premature babies have suffered burns and other serious side effects after being disinfected with the chlorhexidine antiseptic.
Medics have been urged to use the solution with care after experts noticed a pattern of burns among premature babies.
Twenty eight newborns in the UK have suffered "serious side effects" after being wiped down with the antiseptic before a catheter was inserted, estimates suggest.
These side effects included chemical burns, which caused skin loss in some cases, or a skin condition called erythema.
Chlorhexidine is frequently used to prevent catheter-related blood stream infections among premature babies.
The MHRA received 13 reports of "serious side effects" among children who were treated with a chlorhexidine solution between 2004 and 2013.
Experts at the regulator have also identified a further 16 cases in medical literature between 1992 and 2014.
Of the 29 cases, four of the babies died including three in the UK and one in the United States.
One baby died in the UK in 2005 and while the cause of death given was kidney failure, chlorhexidine is thought to be a possible contributing factor in the case, an MHRA spokesman said.
A further two children died in 2010. The cause of death recorded in the first case was chronic lung disease and prematurity and in the second case no cause of death was given but the newborn is thought to have died as a result of complications related to extreme prematurity. In both cases chlorhexidine is thought to be a possible contributing factor, the spokesman said.
The case in the States was not linked to the use of the antiseptic.
The MHRA said that the chemical injuries occurred in premature babies who were born and treated with the solution before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
A drug safety update issued by the regulator issued fresh advice for health workers on the use of the chemical including to use the minimum amount of solution and frequent monitoring of youngsters treated with the antiseptic.
Any nappies or sheets which become soaked with the solution should be removed, they added.
The MHRA said that European health officials will be reviewing the issue.
"Hospital use of chlorhexidine has a crucial role in preventing infection in premature infants, which is a leading cause of death in neonatal units, and is used safely many thousands of times every year in hospitals," said Dr June Raine, director of MHRA's Vigilance and Risk Management of Medicines Division.
"Our monthly bulletin, Drug Safety Update, includes information on a small number of historic reports of serious side-effects, including four suspected deaths, in premature infants associated with the use of this product. Two of these were thought to be due to severe complications of prematurity.
"We have also given guidance to healthcare professionals to use the minimum solution required and to remove any excess bearing in mind the risk in very pre-term infants"
Dr Martin Ward-Platt, a spokesman for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, added: "This stuff should be harmless, if harm is caused it is likely to be a training or knowledge issue. This is avoidable and a harm these babies should not be at risk of. Nobody's baby should come to harm because of this."

"A Mediterranean blend of Zinfandel, Carignan, Alicante Bouchet, Syrah, and assorted mixed blacks fermented with native yeasts and aged in primarily neutral containers (15% in new French oak), it is a California version of a high-class Cotes du Rhone. Lots of berry fruit intermixed with lavender, pepper and meaty black cherry and black currant flavors emerge from this satisfying, round, expansive, generous red. Killer value..."
With roots in some of California's most prestigious wineries, such as Ravenswood and Bedrock, this is no small-time wine by some fly-by-night winery! This is an explosively delicious wine that has taken the world by storm, and it's only gotten better since their inaugural release 6 years ago.
When you hear people talk about a "house red," this is exactly what they have in mind: wide appeal, nuanced yet bursting with flavor, and something to be enjoyed with or without food. Grab one bottle and you will be back for a case!
Just one sip and you'll be saying it too: Shebang!

Fixing a moldy spot on wooden garage roof
I have a garage I plan on converting into a plant nursery, and, there's a big moldy black patch on the inside part of the roof. I got on top of the roof, expecting to see a part that was noticably decayed in the shingles, but I didn't. What's a good cheap way to fix this defect, preferably, one which would prevent further damage, I guess it's a leak?
Don't know if it's a leak or not, but I would remove and replace the roof and roof decking there to make sure the mold doesn't re-appear, which it is known to do after abatement.

- Every year, in the U.S., about 600,000 and 10 percent - of all motor vehicle crashes recorded by police department are due to consumption of alcohol.
- Nearly 40% Americans are involved in an alcohol-related motor vehicle crash in their lifetime.
- It has been found that drivers with blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher were involved in about 10, 839 fatalities due to accidents in 2009.
- On an average, at least one alcohol-impaired-driving fatality occurred every 48 minutes in the year 2009.
- In U.S., each year, about 748,000 people suffer injuries in alcohol-related traffic crashes, an average of one person injured every minute. About 40,000 of these are severely affected.
- Around 75% of fatal crashes that occur between midnight and 3 a.m. involve alcohol, says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
- More than half of the 1,300 child passengers aged 14 and younger died in alcohol-related crashes during 2009. About 14% of these children were riding with a drunk driver who had a BAC level of about .08 or higher. The other 15% were pedestrians or pedalcyclists who were crushed by drunk drivers.
- In 2005, nearly 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics (Department of Justice 2005). That's less than one percent of the 159 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired driving among U.S. adults each year (Quinlan et al. 2005).
- Each year, crashes related to alcohol ingestion in the United States cost more than $80 billion.
- It has been found by the Centers for Disease Control, that an average drunk driver may have driven on the road 80 times before he is arrested.
- Peck et al. 1995, and Beck et al. 1999 have found that about 50 to 75% convicted drunk drives will continue to drive, even with a suspended license.
- About 6000 people die each year, due to crashes involving teen drunk drivers.
- The percentage of male drivers involved in serious vehicle crashes is almost double than their female counterparts who have been recorded at a BAC of 0.08% or greater. It is against the law to drive with a BAC of 0.08% or higher in most countries.
- At all BAC levels youths are more vulnerable to accidents compared with adult ones.
- Young men under the legal drinking age (18 to 20) are found driving while impaired due to ingestion of alcohol more frequently than any other age group.
- Studies have shown that heavier drinkers usually prefer to drink at bars and other person's homes, and at multiple locations requiring shorter distances to cover after consumption. Young drivers have been found to prefer drinking at private parties, while older, more educated drivers prefer bars and taverns.
- Beer is the drink of choice in most cases of heavy drinking, binge drinking, drunk driving and underage drinking.
Approximately 12.8 percent of fatally injured intoxicated drivers used safety belts as compared to 33 percent of sober drivers kill in crashes. The percentage of alcohol-impaired drivers using safety belts involved in serious crashes is significantly lower than sober drivers.
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)
Measurement of concentration of alcohol in blood provides a common, standard platform to measure and compare the levels of intoxication. Alcohol Regulation Laws differ in their limits from one state to another. While in United States, 0.10% level is considered the legal limit for safe driving for common carriers and 0.04% BAC is considered for aviators; countries like Russia, Norway, Poland, Sweden permits the level of 20 mg/deciliter, while countries like Australia, Argentina permits 0.05% level of BAC. In India the legally permissible limit is 40 mg/deciliter, while countries like Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Romania, and Czech Republic have completely banned this.
The effect of alcohol absorption is gradual and it depends upon the rate at which one becomes drunk. As a person drinks faster than the alcohol can be eliminated, more drug accumulates in the body, which results in higher and increased levels of alcohol in the blood.
Preventive Measures
Effective measures to prevent injuries and deaths from impaired driving include:
- Strict enforcement of existing BAC laws, minimum legal drinking age laws, and zero tolerance laws for drivers younger than 21 years old.
- Implementing compulsory blood alcohol testing when traffic crashes result in injury (National Committee on Injury Prevention and Control 1989).
- Immediate suspension of the driver's license for people who drive while intoxicated.
- Introduction of sobriety checkpoints.
- Introduction of health promotion efforts which can employ an ecological framework to power economic, organizational, policy, and community action.

This Article Covers
Technology is being positioned at the forefront of local government efforts to meet cost-saving targets, according to a survey of councillors.
Around 84% of councillors say they are open to new ways of using technology, while 72% expect their council to rely more on technology to deliver services, according to a survey from Intellect and ComRes

Charles Ward, COO of industry body Intellect, said it was encouraging to see councillors aware of the potential of technology to solve problems. "Technology is a powerful tool that can be used to help local authorities achieve cost savings while improving the way services are delivered," he said.
"Plenty of councillors, regard the cuts as an opportunity to redefine the way services are delivered," said Andrew Hawkins, chairman of political research company ComRes. "However there is also an undercurrent of fear that local government will emerge from the financial crisis less focused on long-term strategic priorities such as climate change, and more under the yoke of central government," he added.
Of the 432 councillors surveyed, around 95% expect their council to cut staff numbers as a result of the cuts and 56% said the green agenda will take a back seat as the spending cuts bite.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello JA Customer,
You really have no deductible expenses here for tax purposes. I assume that the home you have in Schenectady was used as your personal home and is not a rental or investment property. If that is the case, then you can never deduct any losses you realize on the sale of a personal property. The only time that losses on the sale of property can be utilized as a tax deduction is on investment property which was held to produce income.
If you sell stocks and/or bonds held in a regular broker account (not retirement), then you would owe capital gains tax on any gain you had from the sales. If you actually sell those stocks or bonds at a loss, then of course you report those as capital losses on your return. Capital losses can be used to offset capital gains you have in the same year. If your have no capital gains to offset or if the losses are more than the gains, you can only deduct up to $3,000 of the additional losses against your ordinary income. The remaining losses are carried forward and used on future year returns.
I am sorry I could not give you a more favorable answer which would have allowed you some options to deduct your losses from this sale, but the IRS has never allowed the deduction of losses on the sale of a personal property.
If this was helpful please press the Accept button. It is the only way we receive any credit for helping with these questions.
Thank you JA Customer

Vision for Society
Written by: J. Gordon Melton
The Church of Scientology has crafted a vision of society free of war, crime, drug abuse, illiteracy, and the materialistic philosophy that modern psychology/psychiatry has fostered in the world.Church leaders believe that just as Scientology assists its members to rid themselves of the myriad problems that inhibit their day-to-day functioning, it should be possible to target specific problems (drug use, crime, illiteracy) that are undermining the fabric of society.Subsequently, individual Scientologists began to develop a set of specialized organizations to apply L. Ron Hubbard's wisdom to specific concerns.As these organizations proliferated, the church formed the Association for Better Living and Education (ABLE) in 1988 to coordinate, publicize, and inform church members and the general public of the various programs.ABLE has its own headquarters in Hollywood, part of the growing complex of facilities that have made Hollywood the administrative center of the church internationally.
Four structures associated with ABLE deal specifically with the problems of drug use, crime, illiteracy, and the declining moral fabric of society.Narconon, the oldest of the social service programs, can be traced to William Benitez, an inmate at the Arizona State Penitentiary, who benefited from Hubbard's Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought. Applying Hubbard's ideas, he was finally able to free himself from drugs, the basis of his criminal activity, and soon concluded that Hubbard's teachings might also be relevant to his fellow prisoners. He was allowed to start a pilot program that he led during the several years left in his sentence. Its initial success won the prison administration's support for its continuance.
After leaving prison in 1970, Benitez settled in Los Angeles where, with the blessing of Hubbard, the church assisted him in establishing a non-profit corporation, open an office, and initiate a program in several correctional institutions modeled on the one in Arizona.Over the years, the Narconon organization redirected its primary efforts toward drug addiction within the general public and began opening residential facilities where individuals could finish the entire program in a supportive environment.At the same time the prison-oriented program continued to grow, and was reorganized as a separate organization, called Criminon. Meanwhile, Narconon centers have sprung up everywhere the church has built any strength.
Narconon gave birth to what has become a standard addition to Scientology's membership training, the Purification Program. It developed from the recognition that many church members have previously been drug users and almost all suffered from the cumulative effects of the large variety of questionable substances that now permeate western society.Hubbard came to believe that the accumulation of drugs and other toxins in the body was forming a crucial barrier to spiritual progress.

Sony Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS lens review: Good value?By Kevin Carter - Friday March 07 2014 Lens Review
As the first zoom offered for the new full frame A7r and A7 the mid-range moderate speed Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* 24-70mm f4 is a key lens for Sony. Read on to find out how well it performs on the 36-Mpix Sony A7R.
Sony's full-frame mirrorless 36-Mpix A7R and 24-Mpix A7 models have the potential for high image quality but that's only half of the imaging chain – they require high-grade lenses to deliver on that promise. The bodies are of course much smaller than a full-frame DSLR and Sony has designed the lenses to match.
As a stabilized model, the mid-range, moderate speed Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* 24-70mm f4 ZA OSS is relatively compact at 2.87 x 3.72" (73 x 94.5 mm) but at 15.17 oz (430 g) it's a fair weight.
With a $1,199 price tag it's squarely aimed at enthusiasts and has a complex optical formula consisting of a total of 12 elements arranged in 10 groups and features an internal zoom mechanism and a minimum focusing distance of 1.31' (40 cm). Of those 12 elements, 5 are aspherical to minimize various aberrations and maintain the lens' compact dimensions, while a single low dispersion glass element is used to further reduce chromatic aberrations.
It employs a linear 'stepper' motor for silent AF – useful for video capture and the all-metal construction has a dust and moisture resistant design. Naturally as a FE-mount model it's also compatible with the firm's earlier APS-C format NEX models (and current Alpha mirrorless models) where it's the equivalent to a 35-105mm. The lens is available now, albeit in limited quantities.
Sony FE Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS mounted on Sony A7R: Mid-range score for FF zoom
Sony FE Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS vs Sony FE Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm F2.8 ZA vs Sony FE Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 55mm F1.8 ZA mounted on Sony A7R: Respectable performance overall

Compared to Canon
When compared to the Canon, the Canon scores better in every metric, yet the Zeiss scores higher over all ..... I'm confused, can somebody please explain? Many thanks in advance

Re: Compared to Canon
On the optical point of view the two couples are pretty good.
But the Sony A7R sensor performance brings more information capacity, therefore a higher overall score.

measurements of FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS (SEL2470Z)
Hi everybody,
do you have an explanation for the inconsistent performance at 70 mm f/8 as already pointed out by "masuraotic"?
I also would like to know what can be gained in comparison to the standard zoom FE 28-70 mm OSS by Sony? Can you please do a test?
Moreover, to compare interplatform performance it would be very nice to also have the measurements for the 24 MPix sensor of the Sony A7...
Otherwise, keep up the nice work!
Best wishes,

Re: measurements of FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS (SEL2470Z)
Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, it is quite touchy to explain the reason of the "inconsistency " you're referring to, but it is safe to say that it may be caused by a slight sample default.
I am glad to inform you that the Sony FE 28-70mm is in lab, and its review should be available very soon. The lens results for the Sony A7 should follow, so stay tuned!

Hi DxO Team,
Thank you for the SEL2470Z review. I would like to ask when SEL1670Z review will be available. This item is even not in the list of Sony lenses. So I had to post my question here. The comparison between 1670Z and 2470Z would be the major interest among a large group of NEX APS-C users. Me too, who understood that I will transfer to FF in the future, would like to know if I should start preparing for the FF right now. Thank you.

Confirmation about Sharpness at 70mm-f4
Hello, DxO.
Thank you for your good review.
Your review always give me a good information to select Camera and Lenses.
I have simple question.
Why "Sharpness at 70mm-f8" is less than 70mm-f4, 70mm-f5.6, or 70mm-11?
It looks like something mistake of the measurement.
Would you provide how DxO consider this phenomenon?
Best Regards,
Reply | Read all replies for this comment

Re: Confirmation about Sharpness at 70mm-f4
Hi Masuraotic,
For this lens the best apertures are f/5.6, f/8 and f/11 for every focal. This performance depends on optical design. But usually it is a bit more difficult to design a lens that achieves its best performance at the wider aperture.
At 70mm f/8, one point is slightly lower than f/11 (5% lower) but it is worth nothing that these 2 apertures remain the best as for other focals. Best regards.

Review request for Sony SEL1670Z
Thanks for another fantastic review. Can you please let me know whether you have any plans on reviewing the Sony SEL1670Z for the APS-C E mount cameras?

I have a bunch of chenille I inherited from someone and would like to maybe make a blanket but I've never worked with it before. I'm hoping I can learn from your mistakes. Is there a stitch or stitches that work better for chenille than others? Thx!
I've never worked with chenille yarn but based on what I've read, I'd probably stick with garter stitch and use largish needles. GS will lie flat and is perfect for a simple blanket.
Since the stitches don't show much with fuzzy yarn I'd personally stick to garter. However you can do a swatch and see what looks best to you.
It depends, is it cotton chenille or is it a man-made fiber? The cotton chenille will work very well in garter stitch, but sometimes the chenille with acrylics and other things are rather slippery and you can have worming with garter stitch.
If it's cotton chenille, I love making washcloths, but a blanket in garter stitch would be lovely too.
I'm not sure what kind it is. I did some swatches and went with a zigzag stockinette stitch. I am having problems with the worming, though. Any way to fix that?
I didn't know what worming is and had to look it up. This article might have some useful tips. http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/secure-html/onlineec/instructionalarticle.asp?iaid=1
