Rare Earths (RE) have been the focus of much attention in recent years as a consequence of a number of converging factors, prominent among which are: centralization of supply (in China), unique applications in high-end technologies particularly in the low-carbon energy industry, and global demand outstripping availability. Despite this focus, RE supply chain sustainability has not been examined in depth or in any systematic manner. This paper provides an initial review of RE sustainability considerations at present, including current initiatives to understand the research and development needs. The analysis highlights a broad range of areas needing consolidation with future research and calls for collaboration between industry and academia to understand the sustainability considerations of these critical elements in more depth.
Rare Earths (RE) have been of considerable interest in recent years for a variety of reasons, in particular due to concerns over the security of supply for modern high efficiency electronics and energy technologies. Such concerns have placed them among the list of "critical" or "strategic" elements in countries such as the United States of America (USA) [
By way of definition, the remainder of this paper considers sustainability within the frameworks of mineral resources as: "a state of dynamic interplay between environment and society (in a broad sense) that ultimately contributes positively to indefinite human development and universal wellbeing whilst not overdrawing on natural resources or over-burdening the environment in an irreversible manner. When we use the term sustainability in mining, for example, we don't mean mining that can be 'sustained' but rather we mean a mine that is making its proper contribution to societal sustainability." (after [
In response to the apparent gap in knowledge, this paper undertakes a first-pass review of the literature and state-of-play of sustainability assessment of rare earth elements. It is expected that this will be further expanded through new collaborative research between industry and academia.
The literature regarding RE was extensively reviewed, with the consideration of sustainability across the supply chain of these elements as the primary focus. The focus was placed on examination of literature covering four associated categories: technical, environmental, social and economic aspects of RE supply chains. These four areas combined give an indicative picture of the state-of-play in considering a variety of sustainability impacts of RE. Only English language literature was addressed in this study.
A large proportion of RE research is devoted to the technological or scientific aspects of their extraction, processing, utilization and reprocessing or recovery—that is, to their application in technology, their thermodynamic, chemical and physical properties and the influence of these in a variety of operations or situations. There is much experimental work being done to determine key thermodynamic, physical and chemical properties of individual RE, as complexities in obtaining pure samples and measurements errors due to the properties of RE have hindered accurate assessments [
The extraction of rare earths from ore and their separation is an area of intense focus—both due to the complexity and intensity of processes required (due to the similarity in chemical properties of the RE elements) [
Many individual researchers have been working for some time on ways of improving hydrometallurgical [
Recently a number of major studies have been completed, reviewing progress in the recovery of RE via recycling of low value waste streams such as bauxite residue, phosphogypsum, waste water, slag and mine tailings [
The end-use applications of RE are indeed the key underlying reason for the heightened interest—particularly the linkage with energy technologies such as photovoltaics (PV) [
Therefore, in regards to the technical elements of RE sustainability, the utilization in high efficiency and clean energy technologies, and the improvement of recycling and waste reclamation are areas of clear importance. The improvement of extraction and processing or the discovery of low-impact alternatives are also of key importance for the future.
The environmental component of sustainability is often highlighted in the discussions on RE technologies and processes—e.g., [
In regards to other environmental aspects, the situation is less clear. Some data on emissions and energy usage is becoming available through the environmental assessment procedures on new mining and processing facilities—e.g., Nolan's Bore [
Standard values for emissions and energy embodied in RE are not commonly available (apart from the rough estimates above), making environmental assessment in end uses inaccurate if not impossible. Moreover, the large range of elements considered (14–17 elements) and the highly complex, interconnected flowsheets required mean that life cycle analysis and the allocation of impacts is challenging. Likewise, each deposit is unique in its specific balance of RE, making the allocation to each element additionally challenging.
A cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of rare earth elements produced in Bayan Obo, China, concluded that mining and beneficiation has much lower energy and material consumption compared to the other stages—separation of rare earth oxides and reduction to rare earth elements [
The move to increase recycling and recovery of waste streams—both post-consumer electronics, municipal solid waste [
Another key environmental issue that has led to substantial community concern, is the fact that radioactive elements thorium and uranium are often associated with RE deposits, and are one of the key issues with processing and disposing of waste. In sufficient quantities, Uranium can be recovered and utilized as nuclear fuel however, Thorium has been a problem as it is not currently utilized for power generation—although it has long been posited as both a useful nuclear fuel and as a way to get rid of such waste [
Therefore, in general, the environmental aspects of RE research are still very limited. It is to be expected that the emergence of new RE producers globally and the focus on environmental improvement in China will help to expand the available data and knowledge in this area.
The social component of sustainability can be defined as those components relating to the physical and psychological well-being of humans within society. In this case we include both the individual and social network elements which could be separated—for example under a "five capitals" approach [
Social resistance to rare earths mining also stems from arguments about environmental justice and how processing sites are often more difficult to get permitted in developed countries and hence lead to their location in developing countries. Indeed, environmental regulation was one key reason for the closure of RE operation in the USA. Much of the resistance to the Lynas plant in Malaysia questioned whether the choice of Lynas to situate the site in Malaysia was for purely economic factors or because social resistance in Australia would have been far too great.
On the other hand, there can be a social argument made for rare earths development as a contribution towards developing a "green economy" [
Another cross-cutting element that could be placed largely in the social category is the lack of trained, experienced personnel outside of China [
Research on the economic pillar of sustainability in RE has been focused on three key elements—the price of RE in the market (and its implication for technology costs), the restriction of supply by China (and its implications for price of RE and ability to roll-out new technology), and the availability of non-Chinese deposits. These elements reflect the concerns of governments and companies that rely on RE in their production lines.
The sudden export quota reduction (of 40%) by China (as the then 97% majority producer of RE) [
Due to the concerns over centralization of supply in China, a concerted effort has been made in the development of alternative resources—both conventional resources available in other countries—e.g., Australia or USA—and in unconventional resources such as expanded recycling [
Production trends in rare earths—data source [
From a sustainability perspective, the development of rare earths element deposits and mines and the subsequent application and use of rare earths in final products poses an interesting question: Do the sustainability benefits of products containing rare earths balance or outweigh the extraction and processing environmental and social impacts? As mentioned earlier in this paper, rare earth elements are performing an important function in our everyday lifestyle with use in a range of products. Such products include those that can make a significant contribution to improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is becoming increasing more important from a global standpoint. Yet, the extraction and processing of rare earths have impacts from both an environmental and social perspective. While mining of any ore body results in large volumes of waste, it is the association of radioactive elements thorium and uranium in the waste from mining rare earth elements that has caused most concern from an environmental and health aspect. There will continue to be ongoing debate about the intensity of the long term environmental and health impacts mining rare earth elements, and this debate will only add to the mix of issues that need to be dealt with in understanding the overall importance and contribution that rare earths makes to the sustainability of a country or globally. The balancing of these impacts against the benefits is critical to understanding the overall value in a sustainability sense (technical, environmental, social and economic) that can be derived from rare earths.
Over recent years there has been severe price fluctuations brought on, as described above, by the sudden export quota reduction (of 40%) by China. Volatility in metal prices can drive the exploration and development of new deposits or the investigation into alterative sources, either other cheaper materials that will perform the same function or recovering the same rare earth elements from end of life products through recycling. Given one country, China, is a greater than 85% majority producer of RE and the subsequent listing of rare earth elements as "critical" or "strategic" elements in USA, the EU and Japan, there is sufficient incentives to develop research programs that investigate these alternative opportunities.
Industrial ecology is a relatively new science [
There must be technically feasible pathways for recovering rare earths from end of life products, however it is typically the non-technical barriers—such as legislative and regulatory systems, or the need for different industry sectors to willing cooperative, understanding the financial drivers for recycling, or diversification of business activities—that are more challenging and need specific attention to ensure that closing the cycling can be achieved. Greater understanding and appreciation of these barriers and associated enablers helps build a clearer picture of the mechanisms that could promote greater levels of rare earths recycling and reuse and the resulting related benefits, such as new industries, skills development, less environmental impact.
As with any sustainability assessment of a mineral or metal, there are compromises in weighing up the impacts along the value chain with the final benefits from the mineral's or metal's use and application. While rare earths are no different, the recent expansion of development activity in rare earths means that it will receive and is receiving greater focus on the potential detrimental impacts from this development. As stated earlier, little work has been undertaken to analyze the sustainability impacts and benefits in a structured and holistic manner of rare earths. Issues that can or might affect the development of resources need focused impact research in an effort to identify if they can address concerns of key and critical stakeholders and enable more sustainable production and use of rare earths.
From the review analysis conducted and presented in this article, the authors believe the following topics of research that would benefit the rare earth industry over the coming years are:
In-depth understanding of the long term health and environmental impacts associated with the mining and processing of rare earths; Identification of the key barriers and enabler for adopting an industrial ecology or closed cycle approach to use and re-use of rare earths; Economic analysis to comprehend the supply and demand for rare earths due to major price fluctuations and appearance of competitive alterative materials; Effect of regulatory and policy frameworks on more sustainable production, use and re-use of rare earths.

In order to try and address these gaps in knowledge, a number of emerging initiatives to link industry and academia are being funded, with research into the sustainability impacts and implications of these key materials as important elements of the research agenda.
Sustainability aspects, connections and level of development with regards to rare earths: (
This review has briefly addressed four key areas of sustainability in the RE industry: technical, environmental, social and economic. It highlights that there is no prior research that has addressed the wider sustainability impacts of RE across these multiple areas, leaving a significant gap in knowledge for future examination. The recent focus on RE due to the restriction of Chinese export quotas is likely to be beneficial in regards to expanding the knowledge base in this area, and a number of key initiatives have been commenced to address some of the sustainability concerns.

Eco'Ganik Sweatshirt
What's not to love about this 100 percent organic cotton hoodie by Eco'ganik? Conventional cotton is hands-down the most toxic crop in the world, using 3 to 5 percent of the world's farmland but consuming 25 percent of all chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Even when agricultural chemicals are properly applied by experienced workers who adhere to regulations, the run-off from fields and crop-dusting planes still dissolve into adjacent rivers, lakes, wetlands, and ground water, which can result in the loss and fragmentation of ecosystems. (In 1995, pesticide-contaminated run-off from cotton fields killed at least 240,000 fish in Alabama. Pesticides also unintentionally kill at least 67 million birds in the U.S. each year.) The puffed sleeves are merely the icing on the cake.

The French words mur (wall) mûr (ripe; mature) and mûre (blackberry; mulberry) are written differently but pronounced the same – [myʁ], so are only distinguished by context in speech.
The word mur (wall) comes from the Latin mūrus (wall), from the Old Latin *moerus/*moiros, from the Proto-Indo-European *mei (to fix, to build fortifications or fences) [source].
The word mûr (ripe; mature) comes from the Latin mātūrus (mature; ripe; early), from the Proto-Indo-European root *meh₂- (to ripen, to mature) [source].
The word mûre (blackberry; mulberry) comes from the Vulgar Latin mora (mulberry), from the Latin mōrum (mulberry) from the Ancient Greek μόρον (móron – mulberry; blackberry) from the Proto-Indo-European *moro (mulberry; blackberry). [source].
One Welsh word for wall, mur [mɨ̞r/mɪr], comes from the same root as the French word mur, probably via Norman or Latin. Another word for wall in Welsh is wal, which was probably borrowed from English. The word pared is used for interior walls, though only in literary Welsh. This probably comes from the Latin pariēs (wall) from the Proto-Indo-European *sparri (wall), which is also the root of the Spanish word pared (wall), the Portuguese parede (wall), and similar words in other Romance languages [source].
The word wall comes from the Old English weall (wall, dike, earthwork, rampart, dam, rocky shore, cliff), from the Proto-Germanic *wallaz/*wallą (wall, rampart, entrenchment), from the Latin vallum (wall, rampart, entrenchment, palisade), from the Proto-Indo-European *wel- (to turn, wind, roll) [source].

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) Danica Patrick paid a $196 fine to settle a speeding ticket after the star race car driver was caught going 54 mph in a 35 mph zone last month.
Patrick, the first woman to win an IndyCar race, was due in traffic court Monday, but a Scottsdale City Court clerk says she paid the fine Wednesday.
The 26-year-old driver was pulled over by Scottsdale police Dec. 9 in her hometown while driving a 2007 Mercedes. A year ago, she was ticketed for driving 57 mph in a 40 mph zone in Scottsdale and was ordered to attend traffic school.
Scottsdale court records show the recent tickets are among several she has received in the past three years.
A call to Patrick's racing team wasn't immediately returned.

Compared to overcoming bone cancer, a foot injury may be minor in the scheme of things.
But for Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich, it's a frustrating stumbling block in his football comeback.
Herzlich, who sat out the 2009 season to battle Ewing's Sarcoma in his left leg, didn't participate in the Eagles' first day of practice after suffering what's believed to be a minor leg injury during a summer workout.
Medical tests revealed no major damage, but sitting out of football practice as a precaution didn't sit well with the 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference defensive player of the year.
"Yeah, it's frustrating,'' said Herzlich Monday afternoon. "It doesn't get much more frustrating, to be honest. Mentally preparing to come back for the first day and being ready to go was obviously one of the goals. With my leg, that is fine and that's ready to go. This foot set me back. It's frustrating, I've just got to take it in stride.''
Despite the setback, Herzlich's return to the practice field is miraculous. The linebacker was diagnosed with cancer in May 2009 although he unknowingly had the disease since January 2009.
After undergoing chemotherapy treatment, Herzlich rehabbed to get back in shape, defying doctors' predictions that he would never play football again.
Count Boston College defensive coordinator Bill McGovern as one of those who believed Herzlich would hit the gridiron again.
"Whatever Mark says he's going to do, he's going to do," he said. "He's one of those guys you never bet against."

The client is Wild Bill's Pawn shops of Abilene, TX.
1) Text logo I created based off a drawing the client submitted. I basically cleaned it up and vectorized it.
2) In the client's old design materials a cowboy was often featured riding a bull, the bull you see below was my attempt at modernizing the concept and giving it a bit of a slicker look.
3) These are two sample (hence, the reason for the stock watermarks) slider inserts I made for the client's site.

I'd suggest putting it on a different port rather than putting in a

Photo Gallery: Chronicling the Octomom saga
Octomom Nadya Suleman is either one sick lady or one slick self promoter.
Then again, maybe she's both.
For sure the soon-to-be porn star is America's one-woman traveling freak show, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
There'd be no recent "news of the weird" that's for sure. Think about it. You know I'm right. After all this is a woman who purchased her ticket to celebrity by giving birth to a litter of eight children in one sitting in January 2009.
As far as I'm concerned that's pornographic. The story just gets sadder though.
For the past two weeks Suleman and her brood of 14 captive children have dodged foreclosure on their home in La Habra. They've also juked out child protective services.
All this came after she filed for bankruptcy in federal court. Those records show she owes like a million bucks to various creditors and has an income of close to zero.
So what's one to do in a situation like this?
Certainly in this economy - during our Great Recession - there seems no easy way to make a buck, especially when you have 14 children, eight of whom are toddlers.
Well, it turns out there are some fast tracks to life on easy street. And, Octomom has tried most of 'em.
First she hired out her infants to Radar Online. Nadya gave the National Equirer website an "exclusive" look inside her home. In turn, Radar paid for the access.
When the Web hits on her insipid "reality show" stopped materializing, Radar pulled the plug.
If you think about it, there's only so long anyone could take that whiny voice shouting over the wails of needy kids. The only thing that would have made it worse would have been the smell of the diapers that were getting off loaded at that house.
Thankfully the guys who make the Internet haven't come up with "Smell-o-Vision." Yet.
So that venture failed, and it was bye-bye paycheck.
Nadya "Octomom" Suleman then turned to the "personal appearance" racket. It's a game usually reserved for one-hit wonders and booze-addled, pill-popping former starlets. Basically you show up at someone's "event" (like a club opening) and get paid.
That kinda sorta fell through too. The next stop on the Octomom train wreck was foxy boxing. In November, she won a bout with Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher in ... wait for it ...
Then she stopped fighting - or ran out of infamous opponents. Most of them usually go into rehab around the first of the year anyway.
Meanwhile, she had to turn off DirecTV and pull the kids from private schools.
With money tight and so many other money making opportunities seemingly closed off, Octomom did the one thing she would have you believe most nearly homeless moms do in desperate times: turn to stripping - or porn.
In Octomom's case it's "self-pleasuring" porn to be exact.
You wouldn't think something like that would sell, but porn guys know something about human psychology. They've been exploiting it for years.
According to "NaughtyButNiceRob" in the Huffington Post, in Octomom's case they're doing it with the one thing all 3-year-olds like to eat - Spaghetti-Os.
"Spaghetti-Os were all over her body, and she's even throwing the Spaghetti-Os toward the camera. The label on the can was changed from Spaghetti-Os to say `Saucy Octos."'
Yeah whatever. Let's just hope the porn guys are wrong for once and Nadya begins to consider some real world options because the freak show of her life just got immeasurably more disgusting.

About MeHi, my name is Charlie. I have been a photography enthusiast for more than 20 years. I would describe myself as an amateur photographer. I don't think the word amateur has a negative connotation. After all, the Arc was built by an amateur and the Titanic by a team of professionals. I enjoy the art of photography with film and digital media. Many years ago I actually did dodge and burn exposure in my darkroom. These days I do it from the relative comfort of my computer room. Editing photos with software allows much more creativity than I could have ever imagined in my darkroom days.

RANDOLPH TWP. The Randolph School Age Care programs are offered at the four elementary schools, along KinderKids on Quaker Church Road for school age children of working parents. The Earlybirds program runs from 7 a.m. to the beginning of the child's school, while the "After School Kids" program operates from the end of the school day until 6 p.m. KinderKids compliments the half-day kindergarten schedule of the district. "Holiday Fun" is offered for Randolph residents' children in grades K-5 during most school holidays. The program is held at one of the Randolph elementary schools from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is usually based around a theme such as "Great Game-Show Gallery," "Field Trip Frenzy" or "Crazy about Construction." Children are supervised by a staff of group leaders, program aides, and junior aides (high school students) with a ratio generally of 12:1 or less. Most of the staff members are certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and child first aid.
Age appropriate activities range from science, fun with food, arts and crafts, and homework time, as well as free play time.
Staff members are sought and positions offer an opportunity for those entering the field of education to gain more experience with children. Pay is competitive and hours are flexible.
Free school age child care is offered during working hours along with training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and child first aid, as well as other educational opportunities for staff members.

United Educators of San Francisco President Dennis Kelly recently chatted with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan about how to improve education. "Reform isn't something to do to us," Kelly told the nation's top education official. "It is something to do with us."
CTA's partnerships and willingness to work with others — administrators, parents and community members — have helped many schools narrow the achievement gap. In fact, successful schools have a "shared vision" between administration and teachers that promotes a collaborative working relationship, according to the EdSource report "Similar Students, Different Results."
"Partnerships are about relationships," says CTA President David A. Sanchez. "Partnerships are inclusive. They allow us to share resources and develop joint projects to improve education. We are always better working together than working alone."
Enemies of public education frequently describe teachers unions as being obstacles to reform efforts. But nothing could be further from the truth. Here are some of the ways CTA members are actively engaged in reform — and collaborating with others — to improve teaching and learning.
Many of California's schools of greatest need are benefiting from extra funds to help boost student achievement from the Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA). Goals of the program include reducing K-12 class sizes; having qualified teachers in all core subjects; increasing the number of credentialed counselors in high schools; establishing a districtwide teacher quality index to ensure equitable distribution of teacher experience; and quality training programs and time for collaboration. Funding stems from a court settlement of a lawsuit CTA and the state superintendent of public instruction filed to compel Gov. Schwarzenegger to pay back to public schools all funding mandated by Prop. 98 — the state's minimum funding guarantee for public education. QEIA funding cannot be postponed or modified without court approval, and efforts to do so could subject the governor to contempt of court charges. Approximately 500,000 students in 499 schools in the lowest deciles of the state's Academic Performance Index receive QEIA funding.
CTA has offered numerous trainings throughout the state for members, administrators, parents and other stakeholders to discuss the important role of school site councils in regard to QEIA, budget and collective-bargaining issues, strategies to improve professional development and other key issues.
"I think using this money for Program Improvement schools is great," says Regina Tyler-Powell, a Compton Education Association (CEA) member who teaches at McKinley Elementary School, a school that receives QEIA funds. "It's nice that CTA is continuing to assist schools that need help."
To make the best possible use of QEIA funds, CEA members are meeting with district administrators, parents and classified employees.
CTA's Institute for Teaching (IFT), a program that is an arm of the CTA Foundation for Teaching and Learning, has been responsible for many innovative programs that assist schools of greatest need, reform high school education and increase awareness of the importance of school readiness and voluntary preschool. IFT also has formed a partnership with the Sacramento-based Parent/Teacher Home Visit Project, which uses home visits to build parent engagement in schools. Programs are the result of fundraising and grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation and others.
"Instead of looking at our schools as something broken to be fixed, IFT encourages teachers, administrators, school board members and community leaders to take a close look at their schools and classrooms to find out what's working well and to use that information to make changes in our schools," says CTA Vice President Dean Vogel. "We think this is one approach that will make a difference."
In an effort to reduce the dropout rate, IFT recently conducted student and parent interviews at seven of the state's lowest-performing high schools to find out what strategies are successful. Based on 800 interviews, IFT found that the following factors drive a culture of success: focusing on the future; strengthening the work ethic; expanding family-school relations; and moving to a learning-centered environment.
CTA has long played a leading role in putting together the Education Coalition, which represents more than 2.5 million parents, teachers, school board members, school employees and administrators. Coalition members have worked together to protect schools from devastating cuts and to protect Prop. 98 — the minimum funding guarantee for California schools.
Along with CTA, the coalition represents the California State PTA; the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA); the California Association of School Business Officials (CASBO); the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA); the California Federation of Teachers (CFT); the California School Boards Association (CSBA); the California School Employees Association (CSEA); and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
The Education Coalition has for many years been a crucial force in shedding light on the dire situation of school funding in our state. Despite being the seventh largest economy in the world, California still ranks 47th in the nation for per-pupil spending. And as the cuts continue, the coalition will be there alerting the public that maintaining high academic standards will be near impossible while funding for public schools continues to be decimated.
CTA's Community Outreach Department provides services statewide to local chapters, UniServ units and Service Center Councils in support of community engagement projects. The goal is to build strong, collaborative relationships between communities and local chapters in each of the four CTA regions. These efforts focus on developing projects and partnerships in support of public schools and their surrounding communities.
CTA has collaborated with the Equal Justice Society studying the intersection of unconscious bias and social justice to assess racial bias in the classroom and school environment and its impact on student achievement. Community Outreach has also recently partnered with the National Education Association on a Public Engagement Project (PEP). The project is a community conversation that helps parents and ordinary citizens, teachers, education support professionals, seniors, elected officials, businesspeople and activists meet to talk about how all students can succeed in school. An ongoing PEP project in Davis, California has had wide participation from its community to address the needs of those children caught in the achievement gap.

I joked with my daughters that when it came to their first car, I was going to buy them a battery-operated Barbie mobile to drive to school. I mean, we only live .8 miles from their high school–technically, they could walk their faster–and they could "drive" on the sidewalk the whole way.
Of course, I wasn't serious about buying them this car–or any car, for that matter, because in our family getting a teen a first car would be more of a "want" than a "need."
Is it convenient having a third driver in the house? You bet. Do we need a third car to go with this convenience? No way. We figure out our schedules and work around one another so that whenever anyone needs to drive somewhere, there is one of our two (bought used) cars available.
Now that said, maybe your own teen has worked and saved enough to buy his or her first car. Good for them! And you may be thinking that how you go about buying a car is looking at price first. Well, sure, that's part of the consideration. But I think safety should come first. In fact, I was recently on a press trip with a gaggle of auto writers, and when the topic of how to buy a car for a child came up, the consensus was that you buy the safest car you can find.
I recently spoke with the folks at Chevrolet about what to looking for in buying a first car. They concurred onthe safety part, and when providing me with these three tips, you'll see that safety is number one.
- Safety Comes First. Before shopping check out the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for vehicle safety. This site rates vehicles on performance in high-speed front and side crash tests, a rollover test, plus evaluation of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. Vehicles that earn the highest ratings in IIHS tests are named a "Top Safety Pick" for the year.
- Fuel Economy Counts. Since many teenagers will be paying for their own gas, fuel efficiency should be part of the first car shopping equation. At the U.S. Department of Energy's website on fuel economy, you can find a list of the most fuel efficient vehicles in each segment.
- Think Technology. Today's car technology can help keep teen drivers connected but still safe. Some systems can offer safety through technology with hands-free calling, which gives parents like me peace of mind.
Back to the conversation with those auto writers about what to look for in a car for your kid. When I brought up the issue of saving money, one of them said, "If your child is in a car accident and the car wasn't safe enough to protect him, will you really remember how much money you saved?" Point well taken.

Man Buys Fake Illegal Drugs Using $1 Million Dollar Bill
I guess he just REALLY needed to be under the influence. It's a comedy of errors when a dude in search of some illegal drugs lands himself in jail. Keep reading and take a lesson from the new poster-child of "What You Shouldn't Do When Doing Things You Shouldn't Do." I guess the whole "illegal drugs make you stupid" theory holds true. At least it does in the case of 23 year-old Joseph Lombardi. The whole story can be found here, but let me provide you with a breakdown.
Last week, the governor of Pennsylvania signed a bill that outlawed a type of incense that mirrors the effects of illegal drugs if it's smoked. The sad hero of our tale let temptation get the better of him when he tried to rip off the stash from a local Food Mart store. To be fair, he did leave a $1 million dollar bill on the counter as he sprinted out the door without waiting for his change. Unfortunately, the store's owner and local authorities weren't as amused by this as I was when reading about it. They caught up with Lombardi and charged him with theft by deception as well as retail theft.
Here's where I get confused though; I want to know how under the influence Joe actually had to get in order to think this scheme was actually going to work. I've heard that when in partaking of the substance, people come up with seemingly "great" ideas that always end up with someone in jail. It seems to me that he must have been more desperate than usual if the only option you have left is to roll some potpourri for a buzz. Then to risk things even further by making a detour at the register to "pay" for the illegal substance you're really just stealing?! Obviously, we're dealing with a criminal mastermind here. What's the adage about there being a fine line between genius and stupidity? This guy is definitely straddling the line, but with a tendency for teetering on the latter. Is it any wonder the kind of illegal drugs he tried to steal is called "Space Cadet Flight Risk"?
On the up side, he does appear to have those easily accessible million dollar bills just lying around. He should have no problem remaining in prison forever making bail. Whatever the outcome, I think we've all learned something here: if you're stupid, you will go to jail. The End.

East Texan heads to Nashville to sing on national TVby Molly Reuter, KLTV.com
More than 20,000 contestants sang their hearts out to be the next Nashville Star, and for the third time, an East Texan is among the top 10 finalists. In about a month, Casey Rivers of Lindale will be competing on USA's Nashville Star, a country music version of American Idol.
Twenty-three-year-old Casey Rivers has been singing since he was just 3 years old.
"My parents were in a gospel quartet and they traveled around singing and stuff and they would have their rehearsals and stuff," said Casey Rivers. "I was with them everywhere they went." Growing up in East Texas, Casey says it's hard not to love country music.
"It speaks of what we do have here in East Texas," said Casey. "It's good country living and songs about life and that's what I like to write and like to sing." His first audition for the show was last October in Oklahoma City. Casey sang 30 seconds of a cover song, but says he hopes to be able to sing his own songs on national TV
"The first four shows will be cover songs, but if I'm fortunate enough to get past that we'll get to show off some of our original material," said Casey. Next week, Casey will be heading to Nashville to get ready for the show.
"I'm ready for it to happen," said Casey. "I'm not really nervous yet. I'm sure I will be when they draw it in your head, hey millions of viewers are fixin' to watch you." East Texas, Casey needs your help because it's the viewers that pick the next Nashville Star.
"If you have a telephone be sure to call and vote Casey Rivers," said Casey.
The first episode of Nashville Star will air on Tuesday, March 14 at 9 PM on USA. The winner of the show will be awarded a recording contract.
Dwight Yoakam still sitting tall in the saddleBy Jim Harrington, InsideBayArea.com
Jewels Hanson, the Fremont-born lead singer of the band Appaloosa, could become a major national star in 2006. She is one of 10 contestants competing on the new season of Nashville Star, the country version of American Idol that kicks off on March 14, and that means major exposure and a possible record deal.
Sunday night, however, Hanson wasn't primarily concerned with what might happen with her career down the road. She was too busy living in the moment and enjoying the thrill of opening up for a modern country legend in her hometown.
"Dwight Freakin' Yoakam," she exclaimed from the Saddle Rack stage. "I don't think we've had a star that big in our midst yet. If there is a picture of cool in the dictionary, it's got to be his."
Hanson wasn't the only one thrilled about being in the building to see this cool cowboy perform. In fact, many attendees were referring to this gig � which sold out well in advance � as the biggest show that the club has hosted since it moved from San Jose to Fremont.
The 49-year-old Yoakam, who looks much closer to 29, certainly did his part to make the event live up to the advance hype.
Following an opening set by Appaloosa, during which Hanson sung some of the numbers that she will perform on Nashville Star, Yoakam took the stage with a full head of steam and proceeded to highlight material from his most recent CD, 2005's "Blame the Vain."
Opening with a double shot of new tracks, "She'll Remember" and "Blame the Vain," Yoakam sounded every bit as honky-tonk hip as he did when he first burst on the scene and caused a mini-roots revival with 1986's debut "Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc."
Unfortunately, hip and popular don't always go hand in hand. Although Yoakam has only gotten better over the years, both in the studio and onstage, his popularity has continued to slip.
He's no longer ranked among the elite singers in the country world. That's why he's headlining in spots like the Saddle Rack instead of gargantuan houses such as the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, where he performed in 2002.
But his accountants' loss was certainly our gain on Sunday night. It was a joy to see this caliber of a country performer in the relatively intimate Saddle Rack.
Yoakam was out to sell the new album and performed at least half of the dozen tracks from "Blame the Vain." But he didn't let the sales pitch get in the way of showing the capacity crowd a good time.
He performed almost all the old hits the audience had come out to hear. He did skip "Ain't That Lonely Yet," from 1993's great "This Time," which was a shame. Otherwise, it would be hard to quibble about the selections in this 25-song offering.
The first "hit" performed wasn't a Yoakam classic � it was a Cheap Trick classic. Yet, the Stetson-clad crowd ate up Yoakam's countrified version of "I Want You to Want Me," which further shows how fully rock and country tastes have merged over the last 20 years.
His next trick was to turn back the clock for mournful versions of "Please, Please Baby" (from 1987's "Hillbilly Deluxe") and the title track off 1988's "Buenas Noches From a Lonely Room." He then changed the mood, convincingly, with a galloping run through "Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose" (from 1990's "If There Was a Way").
Yoakam's high lonesome voice, featured splendidly on the new songs "Three Good Reasons" and "Just Passin' Time," definitely stirred images of old-school country. Yoakam is a traditionalist, no doubt, but he's a traditionalist with a twist.
Although he wears a big ol' cowboy hat and a fancy suit, which makes him look like he's come straight from a gig with the ghost of Hank Williams at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Yoakam's band doesn't fit the picture. One band member wore a pink shirt and a jacket with a floral pattern, while two others were dressed in turtlenecks. It just goes to show that you can take the cowboy out of L.A. � the city where Yoakam first made his name � but you can't entirely take L.A. out of the cowboy.
But, really, why would you want to? Yoakam's charm has always stemmed in part from his wacky show-biz sensibility and his desire to be a star on both the stage and the screen (he's been featured in such films as "Panic Room," "Wedding Crashers" and, most notably, "Sling Blade").
He's simply a great performer, which he proved in abundance by ending his main set with fiercely enjoyable versions of the fan favorites "Guitars, Cadillacs" and "Streets of Bakersfield," which was the singer's first No. 1 hit.
As he walked off the stage, looking every bit like the picture that accompanies the definition of cool in the dictionary, the singer could hear the crowd shout his name. And it sounded something like this:
"Dwight Freakin' Yoakam."

We're hosting Metoux and Oscar Key Sung at Berlin's Badehaus on July 28th. RSVP here because it's going to be a good time :)
Sounds like: Cyril Hahn, Holy Other, Balam Acab
Why do we like this?
The Weeknd's "High For This" has already found its way into our musical archives, with Ellie Goulding's gorgeous cover. Today, thanks to Jamrock, we have a chilled trap version for you to mellow out to.
This beautifully weird rework is the perfect combination of harmonic distortion and crystalline atmospherics. The low-pitched vocals create a lulled landscape that houses deep vibrating bass productions and lo-fi hip-hop into one obscure track that is almost unrecognizable when set parallel to the original.

I absolutely agree with Manuel.
I'm not developing for m0n0wall (not yet, although I have some ideas for
central management) but here my 2 cents:
I think the base concept of m0n0wall (this include architecture and
management) is rock-solid.
I see it as some sort of KISS (Keep It Simple and Stupid) project.
It's small, cute, simple, open-source and best of all it works very well.
Shure there still are some corners to round-up but all in all it is great.
Everybody is screaming about adding this and adding that to m0n0wall.
I guess most of those people forgot that m0n0wall is a firewall and not
an access-point, hotspot, server, filer, ...
It offers some functionality that goes above the basic firewall but this
are not the stenghts of m0n0wall, they are just nice to have goodies.
The captive portal, for instance, for all old-school firewall admins is
already a dangerous feature.
(Oh my god ! They have web server running on a firewall !!!)
I guess the next major release (Manuel correct me if I'm wrong) should
bring the modular concept.
I think Manuel and the core developing team should concentrate their
efforts on providing a stable m0n0wall base.
All the goodies and
features can be developed apart and added as needed.
So if you find someone on this list willing to develop a disco light
machine module for m0n0wall it's ok.
Do that and all guys who cannot live without it can insert the module
but all others can still use the base m0n0wall package.
Regarding the OS:
Of course I use the cutting edge Fedora Core 3 on my workstation but my
servers are using Enterprise Linux 3.0 (which is based on RedHat Linux 7.3).
The same applies for m0n0wall.
Shure 5.3 has some nice features but do we really need them ?
For instance you can have 802.11g and WPA already with the actual
release of m0n0wall:
connect an external access-point to it and here you go.

While most people brought in the new year at the stroke of midnight, little Jimena Magana already knows to always arrive fashionably late for a party.
The girl is the first baby born in 2014 at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, arriving in the world at 3:50 a.m. Wednesday, and coming as a shock for her dazed parents who had both expected her to arrive in December.
"They said from the 25th through the 28th," the father, Oscar Magana, said. "So we never expected this. She's a few days late."
Jimena weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.
"She's perfect," Magana said, smiling down at his daughter as he cradled her Wednesday morning.
But mother Erika Licea Valencia wasn't thinking about having the first baby of the year when she was admitted to the hospital around 2 a.m. — she could only think of one thing.
"The pain!" she said with a laugh. "I was thinking about the pain.
"I'm very happy," she added. "I wasn't expecting to have the baby today."
The two will be discharged either today or Friday, and will return to their Oakwood home where Jimena will meet her sister Tania, 10, and brother Francisco Javier, 9.
"I don't know what I'll do when I get home," Licea Valencia said.
One of the things she will do is go through the baby supplies and gifts provided by local businesses and organizations through the hospital's New Year's Baby promotion, including a $500 savings bond from the Medical Center Auxiliary and The Window Shop in the hospital. Jimena also received a nursing pillow, a couple of gift baskets stuffed with baby supplies, a car seat and other gifts.
The second and third babies of 2014 — twins, a boy and a girl — were delivered around three hours after Jimena, according to registered nurse Meredith Ivey in the Mother/Baby unit. She said a total of eight "or more!" babies were expected to be delivered on New Year's Day.

|Longtime county treasurer Betty Bassham retiring
|Kerry Craig | News-Telegram Assistant Editor
Oct. 28, 2005 -- Long-time Hopkins County Treasurer Betty Bassham said Friday she will not be seeking another term in office.
An employee of the county since 1977, Mrs. Bassham was first elected to the treasurer's office in 1987 and has held the position since then.
The decision to not run for another term in office came after much thought and consideration, she said.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed the work I do here," she said. "The people of Hopkins County, I appreciate them so much for putting me into this position and for staying with me all these years, but it is time for me to go home."
The treasurer said there were a lot of things she and her husband would like to do, including spending time with her children and grandchildren.
"I think it is time for a new treasurer to come and see what wonderful changes they are going to make to this office."
During her years as Hopkins County treasurer, Bassham was responsible for several changes, including the implementation of a new procedure for paying jurors in cash rather than by check. She also was responsible for changes in the county's payroll process.
With the start of the filing period for candidates still more than a month away, Bassham offered some advice for potential candidates for her office.
"Be very sure that this is what you want to do," she advised. "There is a lot more involved here than most people think, and you need someone who is serious about wanting to come in here and be serious about doing the work and getting it done right."
Bassham also offered some thoughts for county voters.
"Please listen to what the candidates say and make the choice from that," she said. "I am sure we will have quite a few good candidates running for the office, and I think they deserve a chance to be heard."

90210 Spin-Off Not Going To Be As Awesome As We Envisioned
Well, clearly the producers of the recently announced 90210 spin-off haven't had a chance to read our perfectly outlined concept for their show. Variety now has details on the project, which sadly does not include Guidance Counselor Valentine, Principal Sanders, or school nerd Hannah Zuckerman. Lame! That said, as opposed the original series' all-white cast, the spin-off already has an African-American character and a character of Middle-Eastern descent, not to mention a "wannabe socialite who hosts her own YouTube series" named Silver. As in…David Silver?! One can hope! [Variety]

Oceania: Average food and never sure about next destination.: Marina Cruise Review by Joe-Neth
Overall Member Rating
Oceania: Average food and never sure about next destination.
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
Nevertheless we decided to try this company once more. This time a 10-day cruise in the Mediterranean. This time even 2 ports were canceled because of so called "swells". Again doubts if this was really necessary.
We made two very nice excursions: Saint Paul and Lucca. The so called walking tours are much too expensive and you can easily do them on your own.
Venice, Florence and Dubrovnik are so beautiful.....
Then the ship Marina:
The atrium and other public rooms are more beautiful and less kitsch than at other ships. Alas the cabin was smaller then expected. Also the beds are too small, but the quality is excellent. The bathroom is big enough, but the big bathtub takes too much room. Therefore the showerstall is too narrow.
Breakfast and lunch are surely below More standard level for xxxx-ships. Fresh orange-juice it not standard and fresh brown bread not available at breakfast.
Very little variation at lunch and dinner. Quality of food in the diningroom is just poor. It's much better at the specialty restaurants, but then often served too fast and/or too cold.
Oceania at its best moments can be compared to Azamara. The difference is that on Azamara this level is standard.
Ths cruise-director was good, especially when compared to the irritating W.Aames on Insignia, who also kept back important information about the schedule of the ship.
All together: I would not advise anybody to choose Oceania. Less

Circulating Adipokine, Ghrelin and Acylated Ghrelin Levels in Patients with Takayasu's Arteritis.

The follow-up of the disease activity is of great importance as it requires intense treatment in active period of Takayasu's arteritis (TA) of which etiology is unknown. Today, clinic and laboratory activity criteria alone are not quite enough in follow-up. This study aims to investigate serum leptin, adinopectin and plasma ghrelin and acylated ghrelin levels and the relationship of these parameters with the disease activity
Material and Method:
31 TA patients and 32 healthy controls were included in the study. In TA patients, the disease activity was evaluated based on the NIH activation criteria, DEI.TAK scoring, "DEI.TAK-physician's global opinion (PGO)" and radiological investigations (B-mode and Doppler USG and MR angiography). Serum leptin, adinopectin and plasma ghrelin and acylated ghrelin levels were measured by ELISA in all patients and controls. Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson's correlation analysis was used in the comparison of the groups and testing the inter-variety correlations, respectively.
Of the 31 TA patients, 29 were female and 3 were male and the mean age was 44.2± 11.3 years. Distributions of age, sex, waist and hip circumferences and BMI in TA and healthy controls were similar.
Twenty% of TA patients were active based on NIH activation criteria; 19.4% were active, 22.6% were persistent and 58% were inactive based on "DEI.TAK- PGO" and 33% were active based on the radiological findings. There was a positive correlation between NIH activation criteria and DEI.TAK scoring "DEI.TAK-PGO" and also radiological activity (r=0.566, p=0.001; r=0.603, p=0.001; r=0.409, p=0.031, respectively). Serum ESH, WBC and % neutrophil levels were higher in TA patients than controls (p=0.017, p=0.002 and p<0.001, respectively).
Ghrelin (319.3±202.6 pg/ml) and acylated ghrelin (120,5±94,4 pg/ml) levels in TA patients were significantly lower than controls (623,2±270 pg/ml and 180,9±128,7 pg/ml respectively), (p<0.001 and p=0.031, respectively). They were negatively correlated with serum WBC and % neutrophil levels. Ghrelin levels were significantly lower in active patients than inactive patients according to NIH activation criteria and "DEI.TAK-PGO" (p=0.041 and p=0.016 respectively).
No difference was found between leptin and adinopectin levels in TA patients and healthy controls. However, a significant negative correlation was found between leptin levels and ghrelin and acylated ghrelin levels in TA patients (r=0.344, p=0.006 and r=0.389, p=0.002, respectively). Leptin and adinopectin levels were significantly lower in patients with coronary involvement (p=0.027, p=0.016 respectively). There was a significant positive correlation between mean carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements and adinopectin levels in TA patients (p=0.001 and p=0.004, respectively).
Ghrelin levels were considered to be useful in monitoring the disease activity and adjusting the treatment plan in TA. DEI.TAK scoring, "DEI.TAK- PGO" and radiological activity indicators which are in accordance with NIH activation criteria can also be used for disease follow-up.

TRIBUTES have been paid to one of the founders of Colne FC who has died aged 88.
Bill Purcell was held in 'high regard' by players and fans alike and he attended every single home and away match and manned the gate before the onset of dementia two years ago.
He died with his wife Elsie by his side on July 6, almost 61 years to the day since the couple met.
Elsie said: "He was always a big football fan and loved Colne Dynamoes.
"He helped the club with everything. He was also a big supporter of Blackpool FC. He had an aunt and uncle in Blackpool and as a child they would take him and his brothers to watch – that's where it all began."
Bill, born in Colne, was serving in the army when he met Elsie on Blackpool front in 1953.
Elsie added: "We were both from Colne but had not met before. We just got chatting. He was with a friend and I blame him for everything!
"He asked me out and that was it. A year later we were engaged and a year after that we were married. We were very happy together."
After marrying in March 1955, the couple went on to have two children, Glenda Louise and Gary, and two grandchildren, Jodie, now 23, and Harry, five.
Bill moved into Andrew Smith House in Nelson 12 months ago. Elsie said that the week before he passed away, he was struggling to know his family because of the dementia.
She said: "He just wore out. But I was right there beside him when he went, holding his hand." David Blacklock, honorary life president of Colne FC, said: "He will be very sadly missed.
"He was a Dynamoes fan before they went defunct in 1990 and when we were starting up in 1996 he was right there with us and helped found the club.
"He'd keep the scores for us and send them all off to the league so we couldn't do it without him.
"Bill was quite a character and if someone would say a player scored in the 35th minute, he'd say it was the 35th and a half.
"It's just one of the things we will all remember about him and as a fond mark of respect, we will be holding a minute-and-a- half silence on Saturday."

THE BASINGSTOKE Buffalo completed the double over National League South Two league leaders the Peterborough Islanders with a thrilling 3-2 victory over the visitors last Sunday.
The visitors have only lost four times this season and two of them have been against the Bufffalo.
The home side were minus Chris Beauclerk after the birth of his son that morning but certainly opened the better, with all three lines showing some slick passing, with Simon Beere pinging a shot off the crossbar early on.
The visitors' Alexander Cleves and Jack Sangby then tested Buffalo man-of-the-match Craig Agass.
The home side took a deserved lead at 5:53 as Dave Collins' blue line shot ended up in the goal crease Islanders' Adam Cawkwell tried to clear, but only as far as Mark Pitts who hammered the puck home.
The Buffalo then went on the powerplay, with Simon Griffiths firing a shot off the post and the lively Daniel Lackey saw his blue line bullet saved.
Soon after, Greg Martyn was denied and then Beere's shot beat the goalie, only to hit the shin of defenceman Robert McDonald on the line.
The home side then doubled their lead as Matt Lawday skated across the goal crease to net at 11:38.
Jason Woodgate was next to test the visitors' man-of-the-match Samuel Jones and Neil Leary was also denied.
As the period came to a close, Agass in the home goal was called upon to save from Cleves and Cawkwell.
The Buffalo continued their impressive start to the game in the second session and Mark Pitts' lovely cross to the back post was put away by Lawday to make it 3-0.
Soon after, Ryan Sutton was crushed into the boards and then laid on by Connor Hunter. Leary came to move him off and was cross checked in the face for his trouble.
So it was no surprise the pair then traded blows as the Buffalo picked up their first penalty of the game.
Peterborough then had a couple of chances on the powerplay from Luke Barker and James Pentecost, but with Buffalo short-handed, Martyn found Lawday, and Jones made an excellent save.
Sutton then showed a great piece of skill as he played the puck off the side boards to pass the last defenceman and force Jones into a catch from his left wing shot.
Peterborough went close when Pentecost's shot was gloved on to the crossbar by Agass.
The first chance of the final period fell to the home side as Beere's shot hit the base of the post and then Ross Mackintosh high sticked the puck into the net, so the goal was disallowed.
The leaders were now piling on the pressure, trying to get themselves back into the game and at 56:49 an excellent shot from the left wing from Bradley Moore flew into the top of the net.
After that, Pitts and Lawday went close before, with 16.5 seconds left, Mackintosh scored at the far post to set up a grandstand finish.
However, the home side were not about to let the win slip away and they saw out the final seconds to win a very entertaining game.
This Sunday, the Buffalo travel to Swindon and then they face their Wiltshire rivals again on Sunday, March 3 (face-off 6.30pm) in Basingstoke.

Sulphur Springs Lady Cats finish second at Rowlett Invitational
Feb. 23, 2006 - ROWLETT - A week after winning their initial golf tournament of the season, the Sulphur Springs Lady Cats dropped 20 strokes off their total and came in second at the Rowlett Invitational at The Shores on Wednesday.
Led by an 81 from junior Whitney McDaniel, the Lady Cats posted a total of 374 to come in as runner-up to Plano East's 345.
"We played real well. We actually improved our score, but it was just real good competition at this tournament," said SSHS head coach Rahn Smith. "There were a couple of Plano schools and Garland schools that are always real competitive and in the regionals in 5A."
McDaniel's round of 81 was her best as a three-year varsity member and earned her third place in the medalist standings.
Kylie Littlefield dropped her score by one stroke to record a 92, and freshman Britney Cheatham came in with a 99, which was 12 strokes lower than last week. Cherish Bolton matched her score from last week with a 102, and Jessica Anderson totaled a 119.
Smith said the reason for the week-to-week improvement was the Lady Cats' short game.
"All of those scores combined ended up doing pretty well," Smith explained. "Everybody improved improved their score because I think we're getting better around the greens and from 100 yards in, which is key. I think that caused all of them to improve a little bit."
Following Plano East and Sulphur Springs' totals, Plano was third at 384. Other schools competing were Rockwall, Garland Naaman Forest, Rockwall Heath, South Garland, Mesquite, Rowlett, Richardson, Mesquite Horn, Mesquite Poteet, Ferris, Greenville, North Mesquite, Pleasant Grove and Stephenville.
"It was some real good competition that we got to see and performed well against," Smith said. "I thought we played real well. It was a little bit chilly, but they got out there and didn't complain about anything, like I had heard some of the other girls doing.
"Once we get into the competition we'll see in district, I think we'll do really well."

At the wedding reception, there will most likely be a seating plan. You can check this and then you'll have an idea where you will be going once inside the room in which you will be eating.
If it is a formal affair, there will be a greeting line or line-up. This is an opportunity for the couple and sometimes parents and even bridal party to greet guests personally and thank them for coming. Its handshakes and hugs.
After not eating for hours, you are approaching tea time and depending on the time of year, possibly darkness. It is now it is time for the Wedding Breakfast. Clever eh?
The couple will be introduced and all the guests greet them into the room. Once they are seated, everyone else can sit down. You can usually expect 3 courses + coffee and champagne and 3 speeches: Father of the Bride, Groom and Best Man, along with a few gifts to key persons. The champagne is for toasts during the speeches.
There may be disposable cameras on the table, for you to snap the other guests. It's a good idea to make use of them but don't forget to charge the flash before making a picture. Then keep your fingers away from the flash and the lens when making your picture.
You may well be asked to fill in a guest book. If you are not the kind of person who can make something up on the hoof, you may wish to have a sentence or two worked out in advance, perhaps saying something positive or just wishing the couple good luck and happiness.
During the meal, circulation time or in the evening, try and spend some time with the couple. They invited you so clearly want to spend time with you. All too often, everyone thinks the couple are too busy and try and give them space. In the end they can end up feeling lost at their own party. The couple may circulate during the meal but they may feel too overwhelmed themselves. Remember they are the same people you normally see in jeans and a t-shirt and now they are sandwiched between parents on the top table and would probably appreciate you giving them a temporary rescue of a chat about the stag or hen do, their honeymoon plans or just whatever it is you normally do together.
On the whole, most couples prefer to be the only ones on the dance floor for at least the first half of their first dance, so if you have children with you, please hold them back between the time the DJ or entertainer introduces the first dance and a point when they invite other people to join them on the floor. This is not the case 100% of the time and some couples can't wait to not be the only ones on the floor. It's worth checking if you think you'll have a job holding the kids back.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vasopressin (ADH, AVP) is the hormone which controls the production of urine in the bladder. It is secreted by the pituitary gland based on the salt concentration of the blood. It is negative feedback: the more concentrated the salt in the blood is, the more vasopressin is secreted, which in turn makes the kidney tubules more permeable, allowing more water to be reabsorbed into the blood and creating less, but more concentrated, urine. It also triggers feelings of thirst.
