BROOKSVILLE — Within an hour of the chaotic 911 call from a woman reporting that one of her brothers had killed another brother and buried him in the family's yard, the dispatcher with the Hernando County Sheriff's Office was counseled on how she handled the situation, officials said Wednesday.
Jessica Vore, a veteran dispatcher for the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, has received the lowest level of disciplinary action for her handling of the call that came in Monday, said Chief Bill Kicklighter, director of communications.
"We immediately had some concerns about the order in which she was handling things," Kicklighter said.
The sister said Stanley Eckard, 21, had killed 19-year-old Sean Eckard and buried him in the yard of the Eckards' home on Peoria Street in Spring Hill. The father, Sam Eckard, had just unearthed the body, the sister told the dispatcher.
"He is digging him out of the ground," she said in a cracking voice. "Oh, my God. He's screaming. He's over the body."
The sister, whose identity has not been released or independently confirmed, was clearly distraught, shouting into a cell phone to other people in the house, who were shouting back.
About 60 seconds of the seven-minute call was redacted from the version released to the media to comply with the law that requires the protection of the caller's identity. During those seconds, Vore asks the woman to verify the address, Kicklighter said.
Vore did that correctly and the response time was not affected, Kicklighter said. But then Vore started to ask questions about what happened between the brothers.
"I need to find out what's going on at this house before I send anybody there," Vore said at one point.
The answers to those questions would likely be valuable in an ensuing investigation, Kicklighter said, but Vore should have made it clear that deputies were already responding. She did so about four minutes into the call.
"It would have been helpful if she said that a lot sooner," Kicklighter said. "After she obtained the address, she should have told the caller that we have units on the way. That typically will calm a caller down. We don't delay the response to ask questions. It sounds like to the average listener we're not doing anything until we get these questions answered."
Vore also seemed to grow impatient and brusque with the caller as she struggled to understand what the woman was saying. She was counseled to modulate her voice to communicate more compassion during a chaotic situation, Kicklighter said.
"You don't hear that come out as much in the beginning, but she's human, and her goal is try to find out what's going on," he said.
Vore asked the caller to repeat information, such as the names of the brothers, several times. The sister was talking loudly and into the cell phone, causing some distortion, but officials also replaced Vore's headset as a precaution, Kicklighter said. He also noted that tapes of a call are typically clearer than the call itself.
Kicklighter noted that the information Vore was getting in this call was unlike the hundreds of others she takes each year.
"Your brain doesn't expect to hear the pieces you're hearing," he said.
"When you watch a movie for the second time you always see or hear things you didn't catch the first time because you know the story, and we know that's the case when we Monday-morning quarterback a call-taker. That doesn't deny the fact that we think she should have handled it better."
A copy of the post-call employee interview report will be placed in Vore's personnel file. If she receives no more action within a year, the document will be purged from the file, Kicklighter said.
"It's more focused on counseling than discipline," he said.
Vore has been a dispatcher with the Sheriff's Office since 1995 and has handled "thousands of calls" in her career, Kicklighter said. He described her as an employee in good standing without any major blemishes.
Vore was suspended without pay in 2007 after she accidentally muted the speakers on her computer while looking at photos from a Sheriff's Office party. In the process, she also muted the 911 alert tone and as she looked at the photos, an emergency call came in, Kicklighter said. Vore recognized the error, tried to contact the caller and then reported the incident to a supervisor, he said.
"She is a very conscientious employee, and she beats herself up more than we or the media ever could," Kicklighter said. "She's the type of employee that takes it to heart."
Vore did not immediately respond to a request through Kicklighter for comment.
Stanley Eckard has been charged with second-degree murder.

The Dustball Rally originally began as a way for friends to tour the scenic roads of the Southwest while following traditional rally instructions. The first official event was a novice-level TSD (Time, Speed, Distance) rally that hosted 54 teams. Unfortunately only nine teams actually followed the instructions correctly while the rest simply had fun driving the route at their own pace making several stops.
The teams' confusion of exactly what TSD was lead to our elimination of it, and instead incorporated an easy to follow gimmick rally, which is essentially a scavenger hunt. This new format covers over 1000 miles in several days, requiring multiple stops for teams to solve clues, or locate gimmicks, to successfully answer test questions or learn directions. The gimmicks would start off easy, and progressively become very difficult by day two. Being the largest multistate gimmick rally in the Nation, we pride ourselves in calling it the most hardcore scavenger hunt you can join.
The roads traveled are mostly 2-lane split highways, all paved. No unfinished roads are a part of any route in our events. The roundtrip distance is always near or slightly over the advertised miles, and is covered in several days time, depending on the structure. Routes are along open public highways, and some of the most scenic ones that the Southwest has to offer. The goal of our event is to bring out the spirit of the open road in the participating teams.
The overnight destinations and the routes are always both confidential information. In other words, you have no idea where your journey will take you, nor what route you will take to get there. Each year's pause usually has plenty of tourist-y shops, and often host s an organized celebration so Dustballers have a chance to explore the social side of other teams. You will never meet people like some of the ones you will meet during this event.
Every Dustball Rally is documented by photo and video crews every step of the way. After the event is over and the awards are given, a documentary release and slideshow is eventually produced. Private screenings and copies are sold to participants before public screenings are held. Copies of photos are also available to be sold later as well. Our media crews are of the finest that El Paso and Las Cruces has to offer, producing the best in photo and video in the Southwest.
Sponsors are always needed every year to make Dustball rally events a reality. Thanks to the regular support of our many sponsors, we are able to continue year after year. In return for sponsorships, Dustball Rally provides advertising of sponsoring businesss' in many different forms. The most obvious and noticeable method of advertising we offer is by affixing those businesss' logos to our participant vehicles during the annual Dustball Rally. This show of gratitude for sponsorship is a proven method of advertising, as it is impossible to not notice a fully stickered Dustball Rally vehicle.

Germans and Robot Ants: What Could Go Wrong?
Festo has created a fleet of bionic ants capable of working together, as well as function on their own, in order to complete tasks, just as their real-life counterparts do, according to Business Insider. The objectives for these ants will focus on automating factories.
These tiny machines, developed under the company's Bionic Learning Network, were born through the process of biomimicry, which combines nature and robotics to create machines.
Festo said back in March that the insects are built with 3D-printed plastic powder melted by a laser, as well as 3D printed circuitry. Their legs are ceramic and their pincers are flexible actuators that can move quickly without using much energy.
Other features include a stereo camera and floor sensor that work together to help the ant figure out its location and identify objects that it needs to grab. The robot also comes with an antennae that charges its lithium batteries.
The ants are tasked with objectives such as transporting large, heavy loads that they wouldn't be able to lift on their own. Continue reading

Kevin William's Modest Proposal
Kevin Williamson thinks Allison Benedikt is right – rich liberals have a moral obligation to send their kids to public school. And he has a way to make it fair.
People hold capital in the form that brings them the best returns, and for the modestly affluent professional class, your lawyers and high-school principals and such, holding capital in the form of a nice house in a neighborhood with good schools provides the maximum return. Ms. Benedikt, savvy social observer that she is, concedes that "rich people might cluster." (Might?) That the main trend in socioeconomic migration over the last few centuries or so seems to have escaped her here is not my particular concern, but it should be pointed out that the enemies of private education generally fail to consider the extent to which that rich-guy clustering provides advantages beyond high-quality schools. The development of social and professional networks, prestige, learning high-status habits and manners, etc., all are enormously important perks associated with living among the well-to-do. (I believe it was WFB who observed that a sufficiently motivated student could get a Yale-quality education practically anywhere, but that's not what Yale is for.) The difference between a summer job answering phones at your neighbor's law firm and a summer job mowing grass (or, more common, no summer job at all) is considerable. Redistributing funds is not sufficient; we have to redistribute people.
What we obviously must do, therefore, is turn rich white liberals out of their homes.
Ideally, they would relocate to the very worst neighborhoods, where, applying the Benedikt principle, they would do the most good. But I do not really care where they go, so long as they go.

Good to see fascism is still alive in Germany
At 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 29, 2013, in what has been called a "brutal and vicious act," a team of 20 social workers, police officers, and special agents stormed a homeschooling family's residence near Darmstadt, Germany, forcibly removing all four of the family's children (ages 7-14). The sole grounds for removal were that the parents, Dirk and Petra Wunderlich, continued to homeschool their children in defiance of a German ban on home education.
The children were taken to unknown locations. Officials ominously promised the parents that they would not be seeing their children "anytime soon."

Do Greeks Work Harder Than Germans?
Matt Yglasias has a piece in Slate attempting to counter the "if the Euro is going to work, Greeks are going to have to learn to work hard like Germans" line of thinking.
It's true that Germans and Greeks work very different amounts, but not in the way you expect. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the average German worker put in 1,429 hours on the job in 2008. The average Greek worker put in 2,120 hours. In Spain, the average worker puts in 1,647 hours. In Italy, 1,802. The Dutch, by contrast, outdo even their Teutonic brethren in laziness, working a staggeringly low 1,389 hours per year.
If you recheck your anecdata after looking up the numbers, you'll recall that on that last trip to Florence or Barcelona you were struck by the huge number of German (or maybe they were Dutch or Danish) tourists around everywhere.
The truth is that countries aren't rich because their people work hard. When people are poor, that's when they work hard. Platitudes aside, it takes considerably more "effort" to be a rice farmer or to move sofas for a living than to be a New York Times columnist. It's true that all else being equal a person can often raise his income by raising his work rate, but it's completely backward to suggest that extraordinary feats of effort are the way individuals or countries get to the top of the ladder. On the national level the reverse happens—the richer Germans get, the less they work.

A Map Of How Americans View Europe
This is a somewhat humorous map of how Americans view Europe.
A Geography of Prejudice is one way of calling what Yanko Tsvetkov created.
The Archbishop and the Concentration Camp
Retired Archbishop Philip. M. Hannan of New Orleans, still alive at the age of 97, discusses his service in the video above, made in 2007, with the 505th parachute infantry regiment of the 82nd Airborne in World War II. Ordained at the North American College in Rome on December 8, 1939, he served with the 82nd Airborne as a chaplain from 1942-46, and was known as the Jumping Padre. He was assigned to be the chaplain of the 505th Regiment with the rank of Captain shortly after the Battle of the Bulge in 1944. He had many adventures during his time with the 505th, but perhaps the most poignant was what happened to him on May 5th, 1945, in the final days of the War in Europe.
On May 5, 1945, the 505th overran a concentration camp near Wobbelin in Germany. Captain Hannan and his assistant James Ospital hurried to the camp to see what they could do to help. A scene of complete horror awaited them. Corpses were sprawled everywhere. Dying prisoners lay in filthy bunks crudely made out of branches. All the prisoners looked like skeletons, both the dead and the living. The camp reeked of the smells of a charnel house and a sewer.
German Family Receives Policital Asylum in US
In a story those in homeschooling stories may already have heard about, Federal Judge Lawrence Burman issued a ruling in late January granting political asylum to a family of Evangelical Christians from Germany, on the basis that they faced religious persecution in Germany over their belief that they needed to homeschool their children in order to provide them with proper religious formation. With a number of writers, both American and European, pursuing a narrative in which Europe is far more civilized and tolerant than the US, this event provides an interesting example of how European laws are often, in practice, far more restrictive than people in the US would be comfortable with.
The family in question had suffered repeated fines for homeschooling their children, and had been threatened with jail time or loss of custody.
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, who are evangelical Christians, say they were forced to go the the US because they wanted to educate their five children at home, something that is illegal in Germany….
In October 2006, police came to the Romeike home and took the children to school. In November 2007 Germany's highest appellate court ruled that in severe cases of non-compliance, social services could even remove children from home.
Uwe Romeike told the Associated Press that the 2007 ruling convinced him and his wife that "we had to leave the country." The curriculum in public schools over the past few decades has been "more and more against Christian values," he said.

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a magnetic pick-up that sends a signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The sensor measures the rotation of the transmission and the PCM determines the corresponding vehicle speed.
Removal & Installation
The VSS is located half-way down the right-hand side of the transmission assembly.
- Apply parking brake, block the rear wheels, then raise and safely support the front of the vehicle on jack stands.
- From under the right-hand side of the vehicle, disengage the wiring harness connector from the VSS.
- Loosen the VSS hold-down bolt, then pull the VSS out of the transmission housing.
To install:
- If a new sensor is being installed, transfer the driven gear retainer and gear to the new sensor.
- Ensure that the O-ring is properly seated in the VSS housing.
- For ease of assembly, engage the wiring harness connector to the VSS, then insert the VSS into the transmission assembly.
- Install and tighten the VSS hold-down bolt to 62-88 in lbs.
- Lower the vehicle and remove the wheel blocks.
- Remove the VSS
- Using a low voltage voltmeter, measure the voltage between two terminals of the VSS while rotating the driven gear by hand. Voltmeter needle should move below 5 volts.
- If the voltmeter needle moves, check wiring and/or connectors and repair/replace as necessary.
If the voltmeter needle does not move, replace the VSS.

Well, folks, Christmas has been and gone, which means it's time to take down those tired and tawdry old bits of tinsel and other past-their-best decorations: which, funnily, enough, is exactly what these sequined dresses remind us of. Why are they so wide? Is that a hoop under the skirt? Hmmm. Never mind the "no white after Labor Day" thing (Which always struck us as nonsense, anyway), we think we should implement a "No sequins after New Year" rule. Do we have your backing on this readers? Or do you think these could still have a place in your January wardrobe?

In May 2010, our friends who live in Vancouver took us to this park, the second most visited park in Vancouver. At 152 m above sea level it is the highest point in Vancouver and has great downtown and north shore views.
In 2008 the woman on the left of the statue group (the one whose bottom is not being handled), was stolen. Police found her in a field at Aldergrove some two months later and she was reinstated.
If you have some time to spare the Boedel Floral Conservatory, which features indoor tropical plants with over 100 free flying birds, is a great budget option at $6.50 adults, children $3.25, Family $15.00. If the weather is not good outside it is possible to enjoy an hour or so in the conservatory.
There is no way to avoid my smelling every different rose I see, and there were some beautifully fragrant roses in this collection.
Family Friendly. In good weather children love playing in the dancing fountains, and if the City's notorious rain has settled in they will have fun identifying all the tropical birds in the conservatory.
Restaurant. SEASONS IN THE PARK has beautiful city views.
Budget Friendly. Most parks and gardens are free and this one is no exception. Even the conservatory is affordable. We did not enter the conservatory due to limited time.
Time. Allow three hours.
How to Get There:
- By Bus: No. 15 Bus from Downtown (check with Translink)
- By Bicycle: Midtown Ridgeway Bike Route or Ontario Street Bike Route
- By Vehicle: Parking $2/hour with some free on street parks

Star of TBS' SULLIVAN & SON Jodi Long Revives One-Woman Show SURFING DNA in West Hollywood, Now thru 9/29
Best known for her role as 'Ok Cha Sullivan' on TBS' hit comedy series "Sullivan & Son," the beautiful and talented actress/filmmaker Jodi Long will reprise her role in the award-winning, one-woman play SURFING DNA from tonight, September 7th-September 29th at the Working Stage Theatre in West Hollywood.
Directed by Frank Megna, SURFING DNA is a journey of Long's self-discovery and an exploration of the imprinted forces - genetic, cultural and emotion - that steer us through life. Born in a trunk to vaudevillian parents on the Chop Suey Circuit (her father was a Chinese-Aussie tap dancer and her mother was a Japanese-American showgirl), Long hilariously and poignantly surfs on a trek from the Ed Sullivan Show to medieval Japan to the Scottish Highlands. All the while, she is undeniably feuded by the forces embedded in her DNA and compelled by the evolutionary power of self-creation. The play originally premiered in 2006 at the East West Players Theatre garnering an Ovation Nomination for 'Best Solo Performance."
The incredible actress is also a talented filmmaker, writing and co-producing the Asian Pacific Film Festival's "Best Documentary" winner, LONG STORY SHORT, her personal family story about the sacrifices and perseverance of her vaudevillian parents 'Larry and Trudie', a popular husband-and-wife nightclub act of the '40s and '50s (www.longstoryshortdocumentary.com).
Raised in New York, Long embarked on her illustrious theater career performing since the age of seven when she made her Broadway debut in Nowhere to Go But Up directed by Sidney Lumet. Since then, Long has performed in several Broadway plays including the 2002 revival of Flower Drum Song in which she garnered an Ovation Award for her performance, Sondheim's Getting Away with Murder, Loose Ends, and The Bacchae. Other stage credits include Wendy Wasserstein's Old Money, Hamlet (played 'Ophelia'), Bus Stop and Phillip Glass/David Henry Hwang's 1000 Airplanes on the Roof, a one-woman multimedia monologue in which she toured the USA, Europe and Australia.
Although Long is often recognized for her hilarious line "Ling! Ling! You forgot your bling bling!" in THE HOT CHICK and as 'Patty,' the power lesbian, in "Sex and the City" Long has had several other notable television/film roles, some of which include her co-starring role opposite Valerie Bertinelli in "Café Americain", as Margaret Cho's mother in "All American Girl," as Alicia Silverstone's secretary in "Miss Match" and her recurring roles on "The Cosby Show," "Eli Stone," and "Law and Order: LA."

Dimensions Midwifery believes partners and families play a central role in pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and newborn care. We strongly encourage your active involvement!
How can I support my pregnant partner/family member?
One of the best ways to support the pregnant woman is by joining her at appointments with the midwife and childbirth classes. You can also offer your help at home – doing additional chores around the house and spending more time with other young children at home.
What do I do during childbirth?
Consider taking one of the childbirth education classes that encourages active partner/family participation, such as Bradley. But, even without a class, you will be her advocate, so make sure you know what she wants in labor, and inform her care team.
Specifically, you can hold her hand, offer encouraging words, bring ice water when she asks, assist with breathing techniques, massage her body, and sit on the bed behind her to support her with a variety of labor positions. During pushing, if she's lying on her back in the bed, you can help support one of her legs and give lots of positive verbal support. After the birth, have your camera ready to take photos of the newborn. Offer plenty of hugs and kisses to your strong new mom! Then, when she and the baby are ready, help with breastfeeding, hold the baby so she can sleep, or make all those phone calls to friends and family awaiting the good news. There are many ways for you to be involved, so let the midwife know if you want some tips.
What role do I have in breastfeeding?
You are also an important advocate for breastfeeding, which can have positive long-term effects for both mother and baby. You can:
- Learn about breastfeeding and its benefits, so you can teach others.
- Understand that breastfeeding is not always automatically easy for a mom and a baby. So, be a cheerleader and don't be afraid to ask for help.
- Take care of mom. Again, help her out and remind her to take care of herself, so she is best able to provide for the baby.
- Overcome criticism and run interference. If the mom is being criticized by friends or family, step in to explain the benefits of breastfeeding. When too many well-wishers want to stop by, mom can be overtired and breastfeeding can be delayed. So, don't be afraid to turn folks away or re-schedule them for a more convenient day/time.
How will I know how to take care of a newborn?
We recommend that you attend a childbirth class that includes some basic newborn care. Also, ask your nurse or midwife any additional questions, so you feel confident going home.
You and baby will get to know each other with time, so you'll understand different cries and signals with time. But, trust your instincts…you'll know what to do!

You know you've really pissed a woman off when she ditches your entire Star Wars collection in an alley—though I can scarcely imagine an offense that would warrant an act of such unimaginable cruelty (except choosing your Star Wars collection over your wife I suppose). Whatever it was, this guy did it:
There were about 10 black trash bags with carded figures stuffed into them 400-500 of them! Good thing the weather was cooperative and I was quick enough on the scene to detour the smokers in the alley.

Scanner Mini for iOS App Review
No one likes accounting or managing their personal finances but unfortunately it is one of those things in life we need to keep on top of. If you like to do all your accounting yourself and tend to move with the times then there is a good chance you do it all electronically. Now is certainly the best time to start if you don't because there are all manner of accounting apps available from the App Store that make the process a lot quicker and more convenient than ever before. You may already be familiar with Scanner Pro, an app that lets you scan important documents or receipts and it now has a stripped-down, little brother for anyone who does not wish to purchase the full package. Scanner Mini is available now from the App Store and it is completely free.
If you want to be able to use your iPhone or iPad as a scanner and quickly record your receipts while out and about then Scanner Mini could be the answer for you. There are certain features missing that Pro has, for example you cannot fax or sync your scans with Dropbox, but if you do not need these then you might be better off with Mini. This smaller version works in exactly the same way as Scanner Pro, allowing you to turn your iOS device into a portable scanner for creating PDFs.
There are two ways to do this- you can either use the camera on the device there and then to capture a new document, or you can pull one from your own camera roll and go from there. With the image of the document open, you can then drag a box over the content, resize it appropriately and crop the capture to suit your needs. Alternatively you can just use one of the various presets if any of them corresponds to the document in question. There is also a handy Find Borders function to help you on your way.
Once this has been done you can then specify the colour of the image and switch it to black and white or grayscale if need be. This will in turn improve the quality of the resulting PDF and is a valuable feature considering the mistakes some scanners make. Whatever setting you choose, you can change it if you do not like the resulting image. With the adjustments complete you can then opt to add further images or save it and send it on to the app.
Scanner Mini is presented as a simpler alternative app for any iOS users looking for a free version of the Scanner Pro software. Naturally the options and features in this version are somewhat limited but the ones present work incredibly well and this could be all you need from it. When it comes to sharing your options include either using iCloud for backups or simply transferring your documents via cable so if you want more options than this, you may want to look into buying the full app. Otherwise, this version is perfectly adequate and very easy to use.

There are 2.8m customers in debt to their suppliers and MPs want more help for people with financial problems.
The committee said firms must clearly demonstrate that they have taken "all practicable measures to resolve the problem earlier".
Firms also need to reduce billing errors, it said.
"Unless the industry demonstrates serious commitment to and success in addressing these problems, we would recommend the government to legislate to ban disconnections of domestic fuel supply," said Martin O'Neill, chairman of the committee.
The Energy Retail Association, which represents suppliers, said the MPs' report had been trumped by a new "safety net" to protect vulnerable users, which has been introduced by the industry.
It said no vulnerable person has been disconnected this winter as a result.
Vulnerable users
Disconnections came under scrutiny in 2003, due to a public outcry over the death of a pensioner couple who were found dead in their home, 13 weeks after their gas was disconnected.
George and Gertrude Bates, who lived in South London, had become too frail and confused to cope with bill payments.
One of the issues raised at the time was whether gas and electricity companies should keep powers to disconnect customers who did not pay their bills.
In contrast to electricity and gas suppliers, water companies are no longer allowed to disconnect customers who fail to pay their bills.
The number of gas and electricity disconnections have fallen significantly from a peak in the mid 1980s.
In 1987 more than 60,000 gas customers and more than 100,000 electricity customers were disconnected.
ERA said better identification of vulnerable customers had cut disconnections.
Suppliers have also introduced prepayment methods - which are generally more expensive - but can help people on low incomes budget.
Consumer groups, however, have said that more needs to be done to protect vulnerable users.
"Companies are now on final warning to sort the mess out. That means no more disconnections of vulnerable people and no more disconnections in error." said Allan Asher, chief executive of Energywatch.

Drink to my health — but moderately
Published 12:00 am, Sunday, March 30, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — You've heard that knocking back a few drinks is good for you, right? There are plenty of studies that say so.
So why don't you hoist a few to your good health. And to mine, too, while we're at it.
Not so fast, Bacchus. The studies you're talking about usually focus on "average" alcohol consumption. That's defined as no more than one drink a day for a woman and two a day for a man. But a recent study suggests that, like the children of Lake Wobegon, a surprising number of people are above average, at least when it comes to drinking.
And that can cause big problems, especially among older adults. How big? How's double-the-risk-of-dying big?
Food & Drink Channel
When Charles J. Holahan, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, looked at older adults who were moderate drinkers, he found that 17 percent were also occasional binge drinkers.
"Average consumption refers to the amount of alcohol consumed on an average day," said Holahan in an email interview. His study, on the other hand, examined the pattern of drinking.
"Specifically, binge drinking is consuming four or more drinks for women and five or more drinks for men on a single occasion," said Holahan.
Consider two people. The first has a nightly glass of wine with dinner. The second drinks sparingly or not at all during most of the week only to guzzle a six-pack-and-a-half during a Friday night party. Both people can be said to "average" about one drink a day, but while most of us would consider the first person a "healthy" drinker, the second is most definitely a binger.
The problem comes, during his annual checkup, when the doctor asks the binger how much he drinks in a week and he answers, "Seven to 10 drinks." On the surface that doesn't sound too bad. But then, the doc wasn't with him as he partied hard Friday night.
Holahan's study, which will be published online in the May issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, is one of the first to specifically examine the effects of binge drinking on older adults. It used data from a larger study to explore the drinking habits of 446 people (334 men and 112 women) between 55 and 65 years of age. Of those, 372 were regular moderate drinkers, that is, one drink a night. The other 74 were moderate drinkers who occasionally binged.
The researchers had at least 20 years of health data on those in the study and when they examined the death certificates of those who died during that period, they found the mortality rate to be twice as high in those who were binge drinkers as in the truly moderate imbibers.
Binge drinking is increasingly being recognized as a serious threat to public health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently concluded it is "a bigger problem than previously thought." The problem with binging is it concentrates alcohol's toxicity, damaging the organs and increasing risk of accidents, including falls and car crashes. It can be particularly harmful to older adults because they tend to be sicker and on more medications than younger drinkers.
The study did not look specifically at when people engage in binge drinking. But Holahan said he'd guess it most often occurs with friends on weekends.

Anime Infinity
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
Anime Infinity is a lovely infinity scarf. It's knit in a simple textured pattern that is reversible. It's interesting to the eye but easy to knit and compliments the colors changes of hand painted yarns.
This is a great quick knit for yourself or as a gift. It's also a great way to show off one skein of that beautiful hand-painted yarn that's calling to you from your stash.
I knit this one with 300 yards/120 grams of Artfiber Anime, but you could easily knit this with more for a wider infinity scarf.

SLAM Magazine Analyzes LeBron James' Freestyle
Nearly three Junes after the Dallas Mavericks jacked LeBron James swagger, the King clearly has it back and then some. The latest exhibit of this is the freestyle James recorded over Jay Z's "FuckMeWithMeYouKnowIGotIt," which was recorded this past summer and appeared online today.
While the flow is sort of choppy, and while you won't mistake the lyrics with that of Jay, James' verse is far from embarrassing. The reigning MVP and Finals MVP spits about having it all, and about having worked so hard for it all that no one can possibly catch up. And while mainstream media might have argued with that a few summers ago, "Two Riiings," as James says on the freestyle, allows him to now talk as much ish as he wants.
Aside from boasting about vacations in France, houses in Florida and money around the world, James also rhymes like the team leader that he is. "Fall back before you fall out/my team eating and the rest of y'all drought," he spits early in the verse. Later, showing off some witty wordplay, James says, "What you see here is royalty/You can't beat me, you better join me/Or it's six feet underneath."
James, a.k.a No. 6 for the Miami Heat, isn't quite an No. 1 on the mic. But still, as usual, he's way better than a lot of his peers. Just check out a few other b-ball specialists turned MCs in the League.—Tzvi Twersky

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Set the record straight:
Arbitration Program
I get a letter in the mail from this company 2/1/10 referencing a hospital bill dating back to 9/06. I know I had been to the hospital once, I don't remember exactly when but it was workers compensation.
I call PARC the day the letter is received and tell them this must be the workers comp bill and tried to give them employer info, comp carrier info, and the attorney who handled the claim. The claim rep talked over top of me claiming that I signed some contract absolving the employer/insurance from paying. This is ludicrous.
I asked why it took over 4 years to send a bill. PARC ignored the question and asked for my credit or debit card info. I told them this was workers comp and I needed to find out why the insurance did not pay. Then the woman lays down the gauntlet and threatens my perfect credit unless I give her my bank account info.
I request an itemized bill, a copy of the contract I signed, and informed her that under workers comp it is illegal for PARC to even send a bill let alone threaten me. The response "All you deadbeats yell workers comp to get out of paying your bills". She also threatened to have me "locked up at work" and threatened a wage garnishment on roughly $200.
I call the hospital only to learn that it was sold to PARC and they have no itmeized bills or records pertaining to me. I tried the former employer and learned they went out of business. I tracked down the insurance carrier and learned that all the comp bills were paid in full. They said when I get an itemized to forward it on and they will handle it. The insurance beleives either the hospital failed to write off the reasonable/customary, or they added a service and didn't rebill since it is such a small amount.
I send a certified return receipt letter to the Nancy Shearer, the complaint person on record at the Better Business Bureau. I formally request all documentation pertaining to the bill, the copy of the contracts I allegedly signed, and a Universal credit correction form amongst other pieces of documentation to prove they are legitimately entitled to collect the money. In this letter I say NO CALLS, IN WRITING ONLY because of the abusive language and unprofessional conduct of their firm.
In the interim I get a number of automated calls where PARC Identifies themselves as Gas Waste, Telemarketing Services, and Graceland. They called a third party claiming to be a former co-worker who hasn't been able to "track me down" to phish for personal information.
In response to the certified letter, I get a copy of an itemized bill alone in an envelope. The address on the envelope is a PO Box in Warren, MI and it is hand written with my name/address. It looked like junk mail or a scam. I wasn't too far off because the enclosed hospital bill they are trying to collect was for a young man who was rushed unconscious to the hospital with a drug overdose. The responsible party and insured, was not me. The address on the bill for the insured is one I never lived at, in a town I never lived in. There is no affiliation between me and the bill, yet PARC tries to shake me down for the money using deceptive practices.
I sent a second letter telling them to cease all communication because this is not my bill and have pulled credit reports.
If I owed the money, I would pay it but I won't have my credit penalized for 7 years with date of last activity being the date of last payment on a bill the hospital never told me about.

Hi all
I will be in Thailand from the 27 March travelling around the islands for chilling and partying too. Im a solo traveller from Devon and would like to meet up with anyone who fancies it!
Hi all
I will be in Thailand from the 27 March travelling around the islands for chilling and partying too. Im a solo traveller from Devon and would like to meet up with anyone who fancies it!
Hi Claire, I land on the 27th in Bangkok. I'm from Wilts.
Are you going straight to the islands?
Hi im arriving in Bangkok on 13th April heading up to chiang mai on the overnight train, have a free week before heading to the elephant nature park for a month, if anyone will be in Chiang mai at the same time im staying in a hostel in the old town for a couple of nights if anyone would like to meet up?
Have been to thailand before but only for a few weeks at a time would be nice to have some company as iv never been travelling alone properly before and slightly nervous!
Also if anyones looking for a day trip or volunteering would highly recommend the elephant nature park, this centre rehabilitates abused and oprhaned elephants you can interact with them feed wash them etc definatly worth a trip!!
im doing the same thing but in Ayutthaya.
Hi Kate,
Im doing a group tour for a week and end up on Koh Phangnan on the 26 March, then hope island hop around the islands in the south!
Claire x
Hey Nicole
Good to see a fellow Canuck in here Me and a couple of friends will be in Koh Phangan on the 25th for the full moon party. Feel free to meet up with us if you end up in that part of the country
Hi all I am just looking into accommodations my plan was to explore around Bangkok a couple of nights and head down south around the 31st would love to get on some sort of tour but planning on booking it when I arrive! Kate I looked into the Suneta Hostel and it looks great, considering booking march 28-30. Nothing like planning last minute :D
Nickyloux the elephant nature park sounds amazing! We may just cross paths in Chiang Mai!
Hi Hun,
yea the Suneta looks awesome, im booked in there the 29th and 30th. Im in the lub d silom on 28th. But if you do book it let me know even if you dont we can still catch up if you like as we are in Bangkok the same time. I head to Ayutthaya on the 31st. Oh I booked with Agoda too as I found them to be reasonable.
Cant believe its a week tomorrow that I fly. Excited much!
Hope to see you soon
I've been to Thailand and Chiang Mai is somewhere you have to visit! That's where most people do the activities such as elephant rides, jungle treck, waterfalls, tiger sanctuaries etc. It's definitely an experience you won't forget, quite surreal. I wish I had more time to go to the islands, I wanted to go to Phi Phi, heard great things, I went to Koh Tao, I didn't enjoy it that much, felt it was very empty, that's where a lot do the diving and snorkling, but other than that I felt there was not much to do in the day, one or two places to go at night in terms of night life. However i really enjoyed Koh Samui although someone said it is quite toursity, and I agree, but it had the most beautiful beach. Obviously Koh Phanghan for the full moon party.. I could go on. I stupidly ran out of money whilst I was there, because although it was cheap, I didn't take into account the trip to Laos which cost quite a bit of money. -snip-
[ Edit: Sorry, no promos please. ]
I will be staying at the Saphaipae March 28, 29 which seems to be close to Lub d. We most defiantly should meet up!
I am so excited to get out of this snowy weather! I will be in Las Vegas for the weekend before I arrive in Bangkok can't believe how quickly its sneaking up!!
Thank you to everyone that has posted advice/tips!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time
Which is the best starter?
Title says all but which would be the best partner with it in your eyes?
Jaggy101 - 8 years ago
Additional Details:
Also could you add which team you had to beat the game i dont mind i got pretty far in one team Chimchar and PIkachu but i accidentallly pressed delete fle by accidnet and that was where i nealy had to battle Darkri
Jaggy101 - 8 years ago
Additional Details:
I'm trying to go with Turtwig which is the ideal partner for it
Jaggy101 - 8 years ago
Top Voted Answer
Fire is aggressive, mainly for attacks, Water is for defense, and Electric is for speed. Normal and Grass are all spread out. There is no "best starter". It's mainly just you're opinion.
WarFighter092 - 8 years ago
The best ? for you, idon't know what the best right , You select type fire, and water or electrice and grass is good but not the best .... like Pikachu , Cyncaquil , Chikorita , and other .... You like. My the best (but is good no best ...) is Pikachu with discharge can attack all enemy in the room , Cyndaquil can quick attack, Flamae thrower ???, and other , Chikorita can use he moves (i not remmeber). ... For information the good for started you started type water and Electrice , fire , grass , ect for you started is grass/fire/ect you must partnet type water (but is not he very very best .......)
andibad - 8 years ago
First time I beat the game wth chimchar+mudkip and
second time with mudkip+charmander.
It was easyer with my first combo but only because I was controling the fire type pokemon .
In both cases the pokemon learn flametrower/hydro pump and mudkip learns endeaver what is a realy good attack for bosses.
Anubis68 - 8 years ago
I would choose a water pokemon that can lift it's weakness to fire.
Or maybe something else that can learn a water-type move.
Anubis68 - 8 years ago
Ok you try . Type grass very effective type ground. But type fire. Example you in darkai chapter you must in dark crater full type fire
andibad - 8 years ago
It's preference really. Charmander and Pikachu are probably some of the most used.
My starters were Chimchar and Mudkip as my first profile and my current file.
creamofjustice (Expert) - 8 years ago
Okey , my team started first is mudkip and chikorita , 2nd chikorita and cyndaquil , and now piplup and cyndaquil is my team. You can use tactic and use your pokemon team use move ideal is can attack all enemy in room or no in one title attack.
andibad - 8 years ago
The best combonation is one where you type-trump your partner.
that means the type that is super effective against you is vulnerable to your partner.
Example: Cyndaquil and Chikorita, if I was in a water dungeon chikorita would defend me.
If youre pikachu then get a Grass type partner. (Pikachu is vulnerable to ground, grass type defeats them.) If youre normal then just choose any of them.
PokemonRanger14 - 8 years ago
I was Pikachu and my partner was Mudkip and I completed the game in a day.
I also was Pikachu and my partner was piplup and completed the game in a few hours.
Either one will work.
But if you are pikachu make sure you give it the following moves:
Thunder bolt, Dig, Discharge, and agility.
Pikaboy1994 - 8 years ago
I say turtwig and mudkip because turtwig heals better. Mudkip can beat dialga or palkia with a ground move.
britney830 - 8 years ago
I'd go with Pikachu and Squirtle (my starting team). They both learn a good variety of moves. Pikachu is a fast hitter; Squirtle is a tank. Squirtle as a partner can take the brunt of the blows from enemies (as long as they don't have a type advantage). Water Pulse from Squirtle can confuse enemies, and Pikachu's Thunderbolt will zap multiple enemies at once.

USA: Amerityre's non-pneumatic spare passenger car tyre passes testing
Amerityre Corp's full-size non-pneumatic [no air] passenger car tyre has passed the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 129 testing. The tyre is made from a proprietary polyurethane elastomer compound. In April 2005, the company said its temporary/spare tyre for compact to mid-size vehicles had passed the same standard.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/3/2012 (1991 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- Home-equity loans have become a fast-growing source of cheap borrowing for Canadians -- so alluring that some have treated their homes as a personal bank machine and put off thinking about the debt that must be repaid.
Many Canadians have turned to their homes as a source of cash for everything from renovations or vacation to debt consolidation or RRSP investments, which they can achieve at a much lower interest rate than credit cards or unsecured loans because their home is used as collateral.
But with mortgage rates expected to rise and home prices to fall, experts say now is the time for those who have piled on debt while decreasing their home-ownership stakes to start building up equity.
Home-equity lines of credit, known in the industry as HELOCs, are the fastest-growing source of credit in Canada. The Bank of Canada estimates the dollar amount of HELOCs has risen by as much as 170 per cent in the past decade or almost twice as fast as mortgage debt.
However, many Canadians are unaware of the implications of this cheap borrowing. Nearly 60 per cent of respondents in a recent poll for TitlePlus insurance did not know taking out a HELOC amounts to a mortgage or a second mortgage (if they already have one).
The trend has left Canadians with an average 34 per cent of equity in their home, the lowest level in two decades and a 20 per cent drop in four years.
The Bank of Canada has recently pointed out much of the increase in household debt to a record 153 per cent of income is not due to mortgages, but rather loans secured by home equity Canadians in turn spent on consumer items and renovating their homes.
"We've seen it as a growing problem, first with debt consolidation and now more often with renovations and things like that," said Patricia White, executive director of Credit Counselling Canada.
White said she's talked to clients who have taken on a HELOC to consolidate their debt, then find themselves in debt again and no longer have any room to manoeuvre because they can't use their small remaining stake in their homes as leverage.
Home equity lines of credit allow you to access up to 80 per cent of the appraised or purchase price of your home (whichever is lower) less any outstanding mortgage or other charges. The more equity you have in your home, the more credit becomes available -- but the more you use, the less equity you have in your home.
They're usually calculated based on the prime rate and you can get a secured line of credit for as little as half a point above that rate. Your interest rates will change if the prime rate does -- and sometimes even if it doesn't, as lenders can raise the interest rates they charge on top of prime arbitrarily.
The plans are extremely flexible and allow you to pay as little each month as interest only, or as much as you want. The problem is some homeowners choose to pay just the minimum, which only covers interest -- leaving a huge mortgage on their homes.
Cheap borrowing rates introduced since the recent recession have helped Canadians to get deeper into personal debt, said Lior Hershkovitch, a mortgage agent in the Toronto area.
The most recent downturn marked the first time Canadians came out of a recession with more debt than they had going in, he noted.
"But it would be very wise for them to take advantage of (low interest rates) and pay it down as much as they can while rates are low."
Those who find themselves in debt with declining equity in their homes need to put the brakes on drawing from their HELOC, even if there is still room on it.
Don't borrow over half your limit unless for an emergency. And if you use your HELOC for discretionary spending, don't fall into the trap of interest-only payments, said Rob McLister, editor of the Canadian Mortgage Trends blog.
"If your balance is large, pay at least four to five per cent of your balance each month. If you can't afford four per cent payments, don't borrow further until you can," he advises.
Start by calculating how much you can realistically increase the amount you pay every month. If that extra amount would be difficult to reach while still making ends meet, it's a sign you're overextended and may need to seek a professional to help create a plan.
It's important to take such steps now because the share of household income going toward paying off debt will increase when borrowing costs return to more normal levels as economic conditions improve.

Advantages and
Some pros and cons of home equity lines of credit, according to Robert McLister, editor of the Canadian Mortgage Trends blog.
Pros of a HELOC:
-- A low-cost source of liquidity you can tap repeatedly without reapplying.
-- At 3.50 per cent, HELOCs are typically the cheapest rate for an open readvanceable loan today ("open" meaning it can be paid off in full any time without a penalty).
-- HELOCs are a viable alternative to an emergency fund because they don't force you to keep your contingency savings in low-yielding investments. You can instead park your free cash in investments that earn more than a few per cent.
-- HELOCs offer the lowest possible payment and flexible payment schemes, including an interest-only option.
-- Some HELOCs offer interest offsetting by linking to a chequing account.
-- It's easy to borrow more than you initially intended.
-- It's much harder to switch a HELOC to another lender without paying legal fees. By contrast, lenders normally pay your legal fees when you switch over a regular mortgage. Exceptions exist, of course.
-- HELOC rates are not fixed. They can always be arbitrarily increased by the lender, even if prime rate doesn't change.
-- Lenders can always reduce your HELOC borrowing limit for any reason, even if you have a perfect repayment history. This happens sometimes when you carry a large balance and continually rack up debt and/or make only small payments. It may happen more if home prices start falling or unemployment starts rising notably.
-- Title insurance fees can be higher on a HELOC than on a regular mortgage.
-- HELOCs are more difficult to transfer to a new property. It's common to have to discharge,or pay them off completely.
-- There can be a negative effect on your credit score if you borrow a large percentage of your approved HELOC limit -- even if you're merely using your HELOC like a mortgage.

Miami Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton hits long home runs like they're going out of style. On Wednesday night in Philadelphia, Stanton absolutely brutalized this Ethan Martin pitch out of Citizens Bank Park. The ball landed on the roof of one of the concession stands in Ashburn Alley in center field, and the home run was measured at 463 feet, which seems way off in my mind.
Personal aside: my dad is at the game tonight. A week and a half ago, I was at the game in Philadelphia when Evan Gattis did this to a baseball. Watch out, Phillies: when the Lucia family is in town, there's a high chance that your opponents are going to obliterate baseballs.

BURNS Night celebration: Reel 'em in this evening in the village hall, as the local clans gather to celebrate Burns Night!
There will be plenty of wine, music, Scottish dancing and a three-course meal, including a taste of the famous haggis, having been suitably addressed in time-honoured fashion and piped in by a live piper who played at the Olympic Games.
There may still be a few places left at £30, so shake off those post-Christmas blues and call Edith Patch, at White House Farm, on 763700.
TO be or not to be?: That is the question hovering over our sports pavilion up at the playing fields. The iconic cricket hut is in danger of falling down, and has been deemed uneconomical to preserve in its present state.
There are several options being considered, all of which include demolition, but what, if anything, should be built in its place is open for debate and the parish council needs your views!
Please pass on any ideas or comments you may have to parish clerk Karyn Reid on firstname.lastname@example.com

Homer's age, and the evidence that remains of the contributions of previous generations give us roots … a sense of time and place … a feeling for our environment. The Village of Homer was entered in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Copyright, docs, Lessig, licenses
Recently in The National Republic, Lawrence Lessig addressed the issue of copyright in documentaries and how it is keeping classic films like Eyes on the Prize out of commercial circulation. The problem is that filmmakers must clear copyright for archival elements in their work such as television clips and music, and generally the licenses for these clips is for a limited time period like 10 or 20 years. After that time, the filmmaker would need to clear (i.e. re-license) all of the archivals again in order to sell the work.
For most docs, this can be extremely onerous since the opportunity for revenue is small whereas the cost of the licenses is often significant.
I'm on the committee for the Women's Film Preservation Committee through NY Women in Film and we worry about preserving the negatives of films that are decaying, fading, or otherwise in danger of being lost. But Lessig's point is well-taken that without adjusting the issues around copyright, many of these films are effectively vanishing regardless of the quality of available prints.
Digital distribution has changed the meaning of copyright, and in some ways it's made the original copyright holders more avaricious. They feel like they need to get all they can from television clips and music placed in films, as it's one of the few reliable revenue sources left for content.
But Lessig's essay prompts an interesting solution. What if, for example, there were some kind of limitation placed on the initial license period, after which all usage reverted to a straight royalty system based on percentage of the work? For example, if you used a clip of the Kennedy assassination in your film, you would have to pay whatever the market rate was for a 20-year license.
But after that time, you would have to pay a royalty to the rightsholder based on how long the clip was versus how long your film was against whatever revenue you received from the film, unless you got a deferral or consideration from the rightsholder. This could be used for music rights for fiction films as well, in theory.

Pete Seeger on the Merits of Grassroots Organizing
Can You Hear Us Now!!! 200,000 comnents. Tremendous level of concern and effort to stop fracking in New York State.
Ban Fracking Now! Cuomo! What would your mother do?
Can You Hear Us Now! Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon Support Efforts in New York State.
Please sign the Mother's Pledge to Resist Hydrofracking
In New York State
The Mothers Project.Org invites all concerned citizens to step forward to oppose hydraulic fracturing in order to protect the health and well being of our children and that of all future generations.
I believe
- that high-volume horizontal hydraulic fracking is an accident prone, inherently dangerous industrial process with risks that include catastrophic and irremediable environmental damage:
- that these risks cannot be properly resolved, nor can they be mitigated through regulation by any government agency, let alone one that has and continues to collude with the gas industry in creating rules that attempt to regulate high volume hydraulic fracturing, giving the public a false impression that safety can be achieved.
- that Governor Cuomo and this agency, the Department of Environmental Conservation, have repeatedly turned a deaf ear to the petitions and letters offering a body of evidence from scientists, economists, medical professionals, and ordinary citizens who have tried again and again to little avail, to alert the Governor to the many dangers that hydraulic fracturing poses to our health, safety, property values, peace of mind and to the climate itself.
- that it is wrong to shatter the bedrock of the earth on which we depend for food and water and inject it with toxic chemicals
If Governor Cuomo permits high volume hydraulic fracturing in any part of New York State, I pledge to join with others to engage in non-violent acts of protest, including demonstrations and other non-violent actions, as my conscience leads me. I make this pledge in order to prevent the destruction and poisoning of our water, air, and food systems on which life, health and economic prosperity all depend, and in particular, as it is our responsibility and duty, to protect the health and well being of our children and that of all future generations.
By signing this form I am making a commitment to fulfill this pledge to defend New York State from hydrofracking should Governor Cuomo elect to move forward with a plan to drill.
If you have already signed this pledge through another organization please do not sign it again here. The signatures attached to this pledge will be delivered in groups of 100 to the Governor but will remain a part of our database for continued communications regarding this issue. We respect your privacy and we will not sell your information.
For further information please contact us by email at: email@example.com
A veteran protector of the Mother Earth and champion of Justice and Peace, Pete Seager speaks out against hyrdrofracking-and profoundly and simply addresses Governor Cuomo, comparing his Governorship to that of his father's. page
Taking to the airwaves to Educate Cuomo
The Mothers Project,Inc. News Release issued June 18, 2012, promoting a sustainable energy future, strongly opposes New York State Governor Cuomo's unjust proposal to allow permits for hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") for methane gas to be issued in the Southern Tier region of the state, even as regions elsewhere in the state are protected. This proposal threatens the health of children and families of Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Steuben and Tioga counties.
The Mothers Project works on behalf of children who cannot vote or make public policy. As mothers, as parents, we are the advocates and protectors of children. We are dismayed to learn that Governor Cuomo, a parent himself, believes that the children and families of the Southern Tier are less deserving of clean water, clean air and an environment in which they may thrive, than the rest of the children and families in the great State of New York.
The Mothers Project published a letter in The New York Times, on May 12, 2012, Mother's Day weekend, urging First Lady Michelle Obama to take notice of a profound risk to the health and well being of our nation's children and future generations: the invasive and life polluting – and largely unregulated – technology of drilling and fracking for methane, commonly known as natural gas. The Mother's Day letter cites peer-reviewed studies and government reports documenting the threats of drilling and fracking to air, water, land, and consequently, public health. These existing data support our demand that the "precautionary principal" be invoked. In our letter we asked Mrs. Obama to extend her efforts to protect children's health to include the threat of drilling and fracking for methane gas, submitted on behalf of the Mothers Project by Angela Fox
Excepts from a news release issued today, June 20, 2012, from Adrian Kuzminski, Moderator, Sustainable Otsego state that Fifteen elected officials including Mayor Matt Ryan of Binghamton, City of Albany council members, and Supervisors and Town Board members from rural communities across the state, held a press conference in Albany on Monday to highlight over a hundred municipalities that have enacted ordinances to ban or forestall fracking for natural gas.

Fracking Industry Used Privileged Access To Lobby Against New York Fracking Regulations "Documents obtained by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) show that bureaucrats within the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NY DEC) granted the oil and gas industry premature access to highly controversial draft regulations for shale gas fracking in the state. New York placed a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing for gas in order to evaluate the science on the risks posed to drinking water, air quality and the health of New York's citizens and the environment."reported by Brendan DeMelle, via DeSmogBlog

Josh Fox promises civil disobedience if drilling is allowed to proceed anywhere in New York State. The Southern Tier will not become a sacrifice zone.

A QUARTER of smokers in Swindon and Wiltshire fear they will not live long enough to support those closest to them in times of need, new research has revealed ahead of tomorrow's national No Smoking Day.
In a survey of more than 1,000 people across the South West, around 27 per cent of smokers in Swindon and Wiltshire expressed fears they would not be present for their family and friends as a result of the lethal habit.
The same number were worried they would miss out on major celebrations and family milestones such as the births of children and grandchildren.
The research carried out by Smokefree South West also showed high levels of anxiety among relatives with 46 per cent admitting they were concerned about the regret their loved one would feel at the prospect of having their life cut short as a result of smoking.
An estimated 98,810 adults smoke in Swindon and Wiltshire with around 910 predicted to die of smoking-related diseases.
Left, Panusha Patel, pharmacist at the GWH Boots store, kneeling is Tanya Seltee, a volunteer stop smoking advisor at GWH. Behind her is Stephanie Taylor, cardiac specialist nurse and stop smoking champion at GWH, Mr Ciggie! and Grace Wiles, from the Swindon Borough Council health ambassador team
To curb this alarming trend and encourage residents to give up tobacco on No Smoking Day, former chain smokers such as Nick Sheppard, of Walcot, want to show that quitting is achievable and also the only healthy choice.
The 47-year-old gave up tobacco after more than three decades in 2012 and has since become a stop smoking adviser. "I quit smoking after 35 years," he said.
"My main reason was worries about health. I had a motorbike accident in 1998 which causes lung problems, and along with asthma I was finding it hard to breathe. I was functioning on 1¼ lungs.
"I am a volunteer for the drug treatment agency and my work involves trying to get people to break the cycle of addiction so it felt hypocritical if I was rushing off for a cigarette every five minutes. I felt inspired that I should make the change to escape my own addiction to nicotine."
Once he had made the decision to quit, Nick contacted his local Stop Smoking Service at Park Lane Surgery in Swindon.
"Steph at the surgery was absolutely fantastic, she gave me the right tools to quit and I always knew that she would be available if I needed support.
" I now work for SEQOL as a stop smoking adviser so I have first-hand experience of what it's like to give up which helps.
"Life is a lot better now. I feel that my life is much cleaner and healthier and I don't have to use inhalers at the moment.
"I am much more active and can enjoy getting out and about."
Nick joined the estimated 32,000 people in the South West who gave up smoking last year using the free NHS Stop Smoking Service.
