6 Tech Mistakes Users Make Right Out of the Box
From the top of the house, as construction workers at One World Trade Center call it, the view on a clear day extends deep into neighboring Connecticut and New Jersey and out into the Atlantic Ocean. It's just days after the building surpassed the 1250-foot-high roofline of the Empire State Building, and there is a debate swirling between the lead architect, David Childs, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the site, about the design of the antenna mast, which may or may not qualify One World Trade as the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere at 1776 feet when complete. The ironworkers here are focused on floor 96, installing rebar as thick as tree limbs to form the tower's reinforced concrete core, the "building within a building," according to Port Authority director of WTC construction Steve Plate. "The core walls aren't sheetrock like the original towers, they're more than 6 feet of concrete in places. We're rewriting the book on security for office towers."
One hundred floors below, crowds gather near the young oak trees and twin waterfalls of the 9/11 Memorial. The memory of nearly 3000 lost here a decade ago is never far from mind at the World Trade Center site—not for the workers with NEVER FORGET stickers on their hardhats or the designers of the crowning, chamfered replacement for the Twin Towers. "Not many office buildings have been attacked twice by terrorists," says Port Authority executive director Patrick Foye, referring both to Sept. 11, 2001, as well as the bombing of the north tower in 1993. "This tower is a bold symbol of recovery from that."
After consultation with the CIA, FBI, New York Police Department, and security firms, designers implemented a raft of safety measures—including extra-strong fireproofing, redundant water tanks at the top and bottom of the building to feed sprinkler systems, and biological and chemical filters in the air-intake system. Then there is the massive "podium" that forms the building's base—a concrete slab 187 feet tall and 200 feet wide.
Inside the reinforced core, designers plan for egress stairwells almost one and a half times wider than code, an additional stairwell for first responders, and a fireman's lift leading to a pressurized fireman's lobby. "The core is basically an isolated bunker," Plate says.
When completed at the end of 2013, at a cost of roughly $4 billion, the 104-story building will have office space on 71 floors, a grand public lobby with 50-foot ceilings, and an observation deck more than 1265 feet off the ground. "Rebuilding on this site shows our unwillingness to just accept the attacks of Sept. 11," Foye says. "No one can bring those people back, but this tower will help make sure they're remembered."
Thanks to collaboration from more than 17 countries, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be a formidable successor to the 22-year-old Hubble. The JWST will be the most powerful space telescope ever built, designed to peer back almost to the big bang. It will allow astronomers to track the evolution of galaxies, observe star formation, and measure the chemical makeup of planets beyond the solar system. Looking back in time presents engineering challenges. With a 21.3-foot-diameter primary mirror—nearly three times that of Hubble's—and a polymer-film sunshield the size of a tennis court, the $8.8 billion JWST will be packed into an Ariane 5 ECA rocket in 2018 and will unfurl in space en route to its orbit almost 1 million miles from Earth. "The solar array and high-gain antenna deploy first, then the mirror sections unfold, like leaves on a drop-leaf table," says Paul Geithner, Webb's deputy project manager. "This is as complicated a space deployment as NASA has ever done."

But the thing with the Cadets is, they are more than just one player.
While the Chargers seemed to rely on sophomore sensation Chandler White with the game on the line late, Concordia had a multitude of players on the floor with the capability to step up.
On Friday, it was D.J. McCall, with the junior finishing with a game-high 29 points in a 67-61 overtime victory for the Cadets.
Next game, Gremaux could go for 25 to lead Concordia. Or Ryan Gross. Or Marq Rogers.
You get the idea.
"That is the real strength of our team," Concordia coach Josh Eggold said. "On any night, our guys not only are unselfish enough to give each other (scoring) opportunities, but also they all have different skill sets.
"Some of our guys that are good in transition had a good game. Brian didn't have a great night … but he excels in the post."
The Cadets (2-0) had three different players score in the first two-plus minutes of overtime to pull away from the Chargers. Each had a different way of scoring, with D.J. McCall taking it to the basket from Ryan Gross hitting a 3-pointer and Marq Rogers completing a three-point play.
White had a basket for Carroll in the first minute of overtime, but the next Chargers point did not come until Concordia had opened up a six-point lead with just 1:25 remaining.
White finished with 17 points to lead Carroll.
"We don't have all our eggs in one basket, so to speak," Eggold said. "That is the strength of our team, our ability to be versatile and have different players step up in different situations."
Meanwhile, Carroll had trouble finding someone other than White to step up and take the big shot. Coach Marty Beasley said in preseason that it would be a work in progress to identify some secondary scoring and get those players to be confident in taking shots. That concern was on display late in the game.
White appeared to be the only Chargers player willing to take the ball to the hoop or throw up a shot in the closing minutes.
Despite that, the stifling defense Carroll (0-2) utilized in the paint nearly secured the victory.
"(Carroll) swarms the post, they do a great job," Eggold said. "It was so much that even when (Gremaux) jumped into the (pass), before his feet hit the ground there would be four Carroll shoes around him."
With the big senior taken out of the equation, McCall stepped up big, attacking the basket all night. He shot 18 free throws, making 10.
"I have trust in all of our starters to have a big night when we need it," McCall said. "I felt all game that my teammates set me up well and gave it to me when I could score in big situations."
On Friday night, it was McCall's time to shine. When the next opponent brings a game plan to limit another Cadets scoring threat, it will someone else's turn.
"A few guys might not have had their night (Friday), but some other guys stepped up," McCall said. "I think it is going to be like that game in and game out."

A GENEROUS group of Tiverton women have raised nearly £3,000 for the Devon Air Ambulance by hosting an 'Eat, Drink and Talk Rugby' evening at Heathcoat Cricket Club.
Guest speakers for the evening were former Welsh rugby union international and BBC commentator Eddie Butler, former England rugby union player Paul Ackford and Guardian rugby union correspondent Rob Kitson.
Organisers of the fund-raising evening – Jane Clough, Irene Horsey, Sarah Menzies, and Fiona Kitson – visited the charity's Tiverton shop on Friday to present assistant manager Jody Whyte with a cheque for £2,911.45.
Irene said: "It was a fabulous evening and great fun to organise.
"We were overwhelmed by the support we got from local businesses.
"Ashfords solicitors paid for the tickets to be printed, Andrew Maunder from local butchers Lloyd Maunder donated all the meat, and hotelier Claire Carter of the Hartnoll Hotel gave free accommodation to the guests of honour."
Jody, speaking on behalf of the Air Ambulance Trust, said: "We're so grateful for this donation, which will make a real difference to the service.
"As we don't get Government or Lottery funding, we are totally reliant on the people of Devon to raise the funds to keep our helicopters flying.
"We are constantly impressed with the fund-raising ideas that people come up with, and it's great that they have so much fun whilst raising money."
Devon Air Ambulance Trust needs to raise £4.5 million pounds a year to keep their two helicopters flying.
To date, they have flown over 20,000 missions and fly an average of 550 missions per helicopter per year.

Gillard talks trade in Cambodia
Prime Minister Julia Gillard is aiming for an ambitious trade agreement that not only covers ASEAN and its neighbours but leaves the door open for other entrants.
Ms Gillard arrived in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh on Monday for the East Asia Summit, which is set to launch the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) on Tuesday afternoon (Cambodian time).
The RCEP agreement - which would bring down trade barriers and cut customs duties across the region - is set to involve the 10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as well as China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand.
"Australia will be supporting a regional comprehensive economic partnership that is comprehensive, covering trade in goods and services as well as investment, which is ambitious and which has a door open to new entrants to join should they choose to do so," Ms Gillard told reporters in Phnom Penh.
Officials say it is possible the agreement, covering around $17 trillion in gross domestic product and three billion people, could be in place as early as 2015, with talks on protocols to start early next year.
Ms Gillard didn't want to commit to a particular deadline but said it needed to be done as "expeditiously" as possible.
The existing Australia-New Zealand-ASEAN free trade agreement is being used as a model for the new deal.
US President Barack Obama, who has been on a tour of Southeast Asia over the past three days, will sit down with Ms Gillard and other proponents of another trade deal - the Trans-Pacific Partnership - in Phnom Penh on Tuesday.
Ms Gillard praised Mr Obama for focusing on Asia so early in his second term as president.
The US and Russia, who have observer status at the EAS, are not involved in the RCEP.
ASEAN nations are expected to average an annual rate of 5.5 per cent growth over the 2013/17 period, the OECD said in a report released in Phnom Penh on Sunday.
Ms Gillard is due to meet Japan's PM Yoshihiko Noda and the Sultan of Brunei on Monday night before a gala dinner hosted by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen.
The leaders will gather on Tuesday at the Peace Palace for a day of talks.
Finance, energy, education, health and disaster response will be discussed alongside human rights and the disputed territories in the South China Sea, in what one official said was certain to be a "free-ranging forum".
Security is tight in the city, with police breaking up several human rights protests in recent days, shanty homes near the airport cleared and beggars being shunted from prominent tourist attractions.
The ASEAN countries are Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia, Brunei and Laos.

Dear fellow members,
After initially looking through the many forums here on Dhamma Wheel, I noticed there wasn't a separate forum for philosophical discussion. My reason for suggesting this is that the 'Open Dhamma' forum seems to be the closest fit, and it is defined as "An open and inclusive investigation into Buddhism and spiritual cultivation" specifically.
Seeing as the Open Dhamma section is already one of the most popular, i'd hate for it to get even harder to manage and moderate by putting these kind of discussions there as well, so maybe this could make for a new section and take some of the weight off of Open Dhamma?
Just a kind suggestion from a newbie!

The Mondial in Dubai saw the largest participation ever in a Canopy Formations World Championships, with new players entering the competition, particularly in the 2-Way Sequential event. However the rankings are dominated by the three "big" players, USA (1st) France (2nd) and Russia (3rd) with Austrialia close behind.
With a First Category Event only being held every other year, persistence pays and there is no change in the top 3 places, even though France swept the board with gold medals in Dubai.
Ukraine, Italy, the Czech Republic and Argentina entered the competition for the first time.
In 4-Way Rotations Russia retains 1st place, with France 2nd and Belarus 3rd, so no change; but both China and Argentina enter for the first time.
4-Way Sequential had low participation in Dubai, unlike all the other disciplines – again dominated by the "big" players with USA retaining their 1st position, and France overtaking Russia to 2nd place, leaving Russia in 3rd.
The latest ranking lists can be found under "Documents"- "Rankings" - "2013".

Following is the second in the Town Crier's two-part series on the consequences of growth in the San Antonio Change Area. Part 1 appeared in the Aug. 21 issue of the Town Crier.
It's no secret that Mountain View is growing, with hundreds of new housing units under construction or planned for the San Antonio Change Area.
Increased auto traffic is just one result of the growth. The impact of additional students on the Los Altos School District, with boundaries that include portions of the San Antonio Road and El Camino Real areas, is another.
As with traffic, there is no easy solution to accommodating that growth. School district officials report that the student population north of El Camino more than doubled over the past 15 years. Superintendent Jeff Baier's numbers show an increase from 216 students in the 1995-1996 school year to 574 in 2011-2012.
"That's about the size of one of our schools," Baier said.
An additional 330 housing units are completed or under construction at The Village at San Antonio Center, and 170 units are under construction at the former Los Altos Garden Supply site (on the Los Altos side of El Camino).
Collaborating on solutions
City officials reviewed progress on the San Antonio Precise Plan at last week's Mountain View City Council meeting.
One speaker wondered whether considering the impact on schools is an issue, given that new housing at The Village has accounted for only four new students thus far.
"Until very recently, there have been no apartments built in the area, so the student population growth has been independent of development," said Mountain View City Manager Dan Rich. "In general, higher-density apartments do not yield that many students."
Santa Rita and Almond schools are already at capacity. Acquiring a school site in Mountain View is the most obvious option supported by the district and the city of Los Altos. It is also the most difficult to make a reality.
"There are very few parcels of the size desired for a school, and the value of land is quite high," Rich said. "The city does not control the properties. We can't force a site to be used as a school or sold to the school district, nor can we 'downzone' a property."
So far, there's been talk among the two cities and the school district about collaborating on a solution – but little action.
"Not a lot of engagement as of yet," said Los Altos School District Trustee Mark Goines. "We have included them in the discussion on new facilities and the growth we are experiencing, and we are getting involved in the San Antonio Precise Plan meetings."
At last week's council meeting, Councilwoman Margaret Abe-Koga said she wasn't sure what kind of help the city could offer the school district.
"It's really up to the school district (to put a school in Mountain View)," Abe-Koga said. "They have the power of eminent domain (public takeover of private property to build a school site), we don't."
Goines said individual Mountain View councilmembers "have expressed interest in being helpful. They are, however, more focused on development than education. … Sadly, they are financially incentivized to build homes and businesses that generate taxes, less interested in having property converted to non-tax-generating schools. Separately, residents have been lobbying for more park space, and a school could serve both educational and playtime interests. But the dialogue continues."
Goines said he has spoken with three other Mountain View councilmembers and communicated with the city's Youth Advisory Committee. He also pointed to the district's Enrollment Task Force and input from residents about "accommodations for a school/park in the San Antonio/California neighborhood."
The San Antonio Precise Plan will include specific direction for improving mobility and mitigating growth in the area. The target date for completing the plan is December 2014.

Terry Engleken, DVM,
Bovine Veterinarian: You've been on "field trips" with veterinarians in the past – how valuable to do you think these types of trips are for both students and veterinarians to actually visit different types of operations than they are accustomed to?
Terry Engelken: When dealing with all the different types of production systems that affect cattle prior to their arrival at the feedyard, I think it is extremely helpful to actually view these operations. You begin to get a feel for some of the obstacles that producers face prior to having their calves get off the truck at the feedyard. It may be management issues, forage availability such as fescue or ryegrass, or the genetic makeup of the cattle.
Some feedyards may not particularly like Brahman influenced cattle coming off of fescue pastures, but there are some very good reasons why those types of production systems exist at the cow-calf and stocker levels. Trips like this just give students a better feel for the industry as a whole and what they will be facing once they graduate.
BV: What do you think the two to three biggest takeaways from the stocker trip were for the students?
TE: I think the most important thing that the students learned is why the stocker industry exists. Those light weight calves coming out of small cow-calf operations don't arrive at the feedyard in bunches of three to five head. There is a highly efficient part of the industry that takes these calves, straightens them out into uniform groups, and then utilizes forage to put weight on them. They really transition the calves to be ready for the feedyard by getting them healthy and heavy enough to thrive.
Another important thing they learned is that there is incredible diversity in these operations. There is no such thing as a "cookie cutter" approach to stocker production. Differences in cattle genetics combined with differences in environmental conditions, forage base, cattle procurement, and supplemental feeding systems mean that you see something different on every operation. We visited a number of operations on the trip and no two were exactly alike.
Finally, understanding that stocker operations are really margin driven is essential for the students to begin to see the economics of production. It also gave them some insight as to how a practitioner might work with stocker producers.
(They also got to learn what really good BBQ and sweet tea tastes like!)
BV: Do you think understanding how these operations operate and are managed, what their purpose, goals and businesses are, is just as important to know as the animal health aspects of being a bovine veterinarian?
TE: Absolutely!! I don't think you can manage the animal health program adequately unless you understand the business end of the operation. Every one of these units that we toured had different strengths and weaknesses due to management and cattle. Basic protocols that involve metaphylaxis or implant programs or receiving vaccinations or drug selection are all impacted by how the cattle are managed and how big the economic margin is. We really tried to get the students to understand that part of the equation.
Our plan is to make the "Grass Cattle 101" trip an annual event as part of our Beef PIKE program (Read more here). We have had very good support from Elanco Animal Health, Bayer Animal Health, and Ft. Dodge Animal Health in the past. We will continue to look for support for the program so that we can continue providing our students with this type of opportunity.

Santos ruled out for Thursday with sore triceps
Blue Jays also waiting to get Ramus back on the field for game action
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Right-hander Sergio Santos is expected to be out of action until Saturday because of a sore right triceps muscle.
Santos left Sunday's game versus the Phillies with discomfort in the area. He was originally expected to pitch Thursday versus Baltimore, but will now be held out for an additional couple of days.
"Nothing yet that we're too alarmed about, because there's still so much spring left," manager John Gibbons told media members on Tuesday afternoon.
Santos' injury might be considered minor, but if it lingers the Blue Jays could find themselves with a rather problematic situation on their hands. Closer Casey Janssen recently made his return to the mound following offseason shoulder surgery, but has yet to face live hitters.
Outfielder Colby Rasmus' return to Toronto's lineup also will take a little bit longer than originally expected. Rasmus was supposed to play on Tuesday against the Orioles, but has now been ruled out until Thursday.
The 26-year-old is dealing with a sore right shoulder, but the injury is still considered relatively minor. Rasmus was sent for an examination last week and structural damage was ruled out at that time although he is dealing with inflammation in the area.
Rasmus, who has appeared in three games this spring, is set for another year as Toronto's everyday center fielder. Last season, he hit .223 with 23 homers and 75 RBIs in 151 games.

I knew when I first spent time on a plastic surgery rotation in medical school that this was the path for me.
The specialty of plastic surgery covers a very broad range of problems ranging from congenital anomalies to reconstruction of nearly every part of the body. Of course, cosmetic enhancements have also grown in scope along with the specialty of plastic surgery.
The variety of problems plastic surgeons address and the even greater variety of solutions for our patient's problems is quite appealing to me.
My practice covers reconstructive breast surgery and cosmetic surgery, including breast, body, and facial aesthetic. I enjoy and appreciate that each patient brings a unique set of circumstances, history, and anatomy to address. It is this variety and need for artistic creativity and unique solutions to help my patients that makes plastic surgery so appealing to me.
I want to optimize safety, minimize risks, and try to provide safe, timely and appropriate solutions for my patients.
Our team at Associates in Plastic Surgery includes the receptionist, surgery scheduling secretary, office manager, and surgical tech./nursing staff. The office and nursing staff have many years of experience caring specifically for plastic surgical patients.
The staff is available to help you from 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM Monday through Friday (Thursday the office opens at 9:00 AM). The office telephone number is 502-895-5466.

I recently (Oct 22 2009) became an active ham radio operator, running a Kenwood TS-930SAT transceiver into an 80 meter horizontal loop at about 15 meters high. This seems to work surprisingly well, having already contacted several countries in Europe, Africa and South America, with an occasional contact to elsewhere in the world.
My QSL cards are printed and designed by UX5UO QSL print, who turned the idea in my head into a beautiful layout. The picture was taken near the top of Mt. Cannon, looking south-east into the Franconia Notch State Park. The star indicates my home QTH in the state of New Hampshire.
I QSL direct and via the bureau, replying to received QSL cards and sending cards to people who ask for them over the air. If you do not ask for a card and do not send one, I will QSL via eQSL and LOTW only.
Just received your card yesterday. Beautiful photo! I also enjoy UX5UO's work. Hope you enjoyed my card as well and hope to meet you on the bands again.

SC officials unveiling Bethune license plate
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A South Carolina educator and civil rights leaders is being honored with a license plate.
A ceremony is scheduled for the Statehouse on Tuesday to unveil the plate in honor of Mary McLeod Bethune.
Legislators approved the specialty plate last year. Fees from plate sales support a museum and natural trail named after Bethune, as well as tourism in her hometown of Mayesville.
Bethune established the school now known as Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Fla., and founded the National Council of Negro Women. She also advised several U.S. presidents.

Crowns, Bridges, Dentures, Implants
Bridges Compared to Teeth
How do implants compare to two missing teeth. The last upper molar is a solid capped tooth, then two missing teeth and then another capped tooth. I previously had a removable one tooth bridge in this spot, and liked it better than the fixed bridge on the other side. It was easier to clean and felt better chewing.
Contraindications to Implant Placement (NIH Consensus Conference
- Acute illness
- Terminal illness
- Pregnancy
- Uncontrolled metabolic disease
- Tumoricidal radiation to implant site
- Unrealistic patient expectation
- Improper patient motivation
- Lack of operator experience
- Inability to restore the prosthesis
Treatment Planning
- mounted study casts
- radiographs (corrected for magnification)
- evaluation of edentulous space (mesiodistal dimension); orthodontics may be necessary to gain space
- evaluation of soft tissue contours; soft tissue management may be needed to gain ideal contours
- evaluation of adjacent teeth; caries control may be necessary, periapical pathology may need to be addressed
Interarch space must provide enough room for prosthetic components
Fabrication of an Interim or Transitional Partial Denture
Step 1 (Clinical):
- Alginate impressions to generate casts
- Jaw relation records as needed
- Shade selection for acrylic denture teeth and resin
Step 2 (Laboratory):
- Bend and add wire clasps if needed
- Set denture teeth into position with wax
- Lubricate (alcote) teeth and labial surface of cast
- Plaster matrix of teeth and labial surface of cast
- Remove all wax used to set teeth
- Readapt teeth to position with plaster matrix
- Drill retentive holes in bottom of plastic teeth; teeth may also need be made shorter to allow room for acrylic resin
- Add rope wax as a finishing line for the acrylic resin
- Add powder and liquid repair resin
- Place rubber band around matirx and cast
- Place in pressure pot for 15 minutes
- Finish and Polish
Step 3 (Clinical):
- Try-in of transitional
- Adjust occlusion and clasps
Step 4 (Clinical):
- Homecare instructions
- Remove at night; place in water; clean with tooth brush; etc.

After weeks of on-again, off-again talks, the Los Angeles Clippers finally got their man Sunday.
The Clippers agreed to a deal with the Celtics that will send coach Doc Rivers from Boston to Los Angeles, multiple media outlets reported.
In exchange for Rivers, the Celtics will receive an unprotected 2015 first-round draft choice.
Boston reportedly will release Rivers from the remainder of his contract, which was for three years at $21 million. The Clippers reportedly will give him an identical three-year, $21 million deal.
The NBA must approve Rivers' move for it to be finalized.
Last week, commissioner David Stern strongly stated that he would oppose a Clippers-Celtics swap that included players in addition to Rivers. Talks centered around Kevin Garnett joining Rivers in Los Angeles, but Stern made it clear that any such move, even if broken into two separate transactions, would be a violation of league rules and would be prohibited.
The arrival of Rivers is expected to help the Clippers convince free agent point Chris Paul to re-sign with the team. Rivers was a point guard in his playing days, which included one season, 1991-92, with the Clippers. He also played for the Atlanta Hawks, New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.
Rivers just completed his 14th season as a head coach. He spent 1999-2000 to the start of 2003-04 with the Orlando Magic, then took over in Boston for the start of the 2004-05 season. He led the Celtics to the 2008 league title and the 2010 NBA Finals. Overall, his regular-season coaching record is 587-473 (.554), and his postseason record is 64-57 (.529).

An intrepid bunch of Chippenham Ramblers braved the conditions for a seven-mile figure of eight walk above Box on February 9 led by Clive Frankham.
The group headed across Box Common and into the woods, emerging to views across Box itself.
The route headed through Hazelbury Manor and onwards to Chapel Plaister, where the ramblers were pleased to see that the previously overgrown path into the next field path had been cleared.
A small diversion was added at this point for those wishing to see the monument erected to the explorer John Hanning Speke.
The return to the cars took ramblers across the runway at Wadswick and past the former assault course at Rudloe, mostly in good weather but which ended during the refreshments break.
The next Chippenham Ramblers' walk is on Sunday, February 23, and is a four-mile walk from Bremhill, taking in Maud Heath's monument and Bencroft Hill.

Fairfax County Approves Transit Oriented Development for Reston
February 11, 2014
News Highlights
- Plan focuses transit-oriented development within a half mile from the three Silver Line Stations: Wiehle-Reston East, Reston Town Center, and Herndon.
- These areas are planned for up to 30 million square feet in offices and 28,000 housing units over the next 40 years, counting existing, approved and new development.
- Because these station areas combined already make up the second largest office market in the county, the plan emphasizes residential development. Housing is planned to grow from 14.1 to almost 33.5 million square feet.
In the areas closest to the three Silver Line Metro stations, Reston will become even more urban, walkable and bike friendly than before.
At its Feb. 11 meeting, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved a new land use plan that calls for transit-oriented development in the areas within a half mile from the stations. The plan was created based on recommendations by a 40-plus member task force of Reston residents, developers, and civic association representatives.
Over the next 40 years, new development will be centered around the Wiehle-Reston East, Reston Town Center and Herndon rail stations. In the future, the three station areas could become home to a total of 30 million square feet in offices and 28,000 housing units, counting existing, approved and new development.
While Reston continues to be a very livable, economically successful community, the plan significantly calls for a shift from suburban office parks to mixed used development, and it envisions more new housing. Residential development can grow from 14.1 to almost 33.5 million square feet.
Offices will be concentrated within a quarter mile from the three Metro stations. This makes them an easy three to six minute walk from the stops. The plan aims for equal amounts of office and residential uses within this quarter mile radius. Housing is planned to make up 75 percent of the development between a quarter and half mile from each rail stop.
Because the three station areas combined already make up the second largest office market in the county, the plan emphasizes residential development. It allows for up to 27,900 new units compared to 14,695 units under the previous plan. Housing is critical for successful transit-oriented development. It helps to reduce traffic, and it leads to more active, vibrant neighborhoods, day and night.
This increase in housing cuts the imbalance in the jobs-to-housing ratio in half. Under the plan, this ratio would be 4.3 jobs to 1 household compared to 8.8 to 1 today. Urban planners say that the ideal target for TOD areas is 3 to 6 jobs per household.
The three station areas are envisioned to have distinct characters, as well as the neighborhoods surrounding these TOD districts:
- Wiehle-Reston East: The plan aims to make this station area an education-focused neighborhood with housing that is well-connected to transit by new walkable streets. It's planned for up to 4 million square feet of office and 3,400 housing units, counting existing, approved or new development. North of the Dulles Toll Road, the area will be anchored by a new "main street," Reston Station Boulevard. Northern Virginia Community College and Marymount University currently have campuses in the area.
- Reston Town Center: The area will become Reston's "downtown" Metro stop, offering lots of shopping and housing. It could be home to 5.5 million square feet in office development and 5,600 housing units in total, counting existing, approved or new development. Urban plazas and a larger park are planned for festivals, community gathering spots and recreation. This new area will complement the existing development in the Reston Town Center urban core.
- Herndon: The vision for this station area is a moderate-intensity, urban, mixed use neighborhood that includes offices, residential, hotels and retail. This area will have the lowest amount of office development—2.1 million square feet, including existing, approved or new projects. The area can include up to 2,000 residential units. Because Sunrise Valley Wetlands Nature Park abuts this station area, the plan also includes trails and walkways to link this existing park to new, semi-urban parks.
This updates to the Reston land use plan were developed to capitalize on Metro's Silver Line. Since the early 90s, the county's land use plan called for mixed use development in Reston, anticipating the future rail line. However, Fairfax decided to relook at the area when the Silver Line became a reality.
To move the new plan forward, county staff will be refining Reston-specific urban design guidelines, creating a funding plan for transportation improvements, and analyzing the enhanced street network described in the document.
The Board of Supervisors authorized the planning study for Reston in 2009. The study focused specifically on the three areas surrounding the Silver Line stations.
Starting this spring, the county will begin a new study looking at areas beyond these stations, including the Village Center, convenience centers and commercial areas north of Baron Cameron adjacent to Reston Town Center. The study will also revise Reston's land use plan and residential categories to better reflect existing development and align development processes with the existing Countywide Guidelines for Neighborhood Redevelopment.

Portable and Large Projection TVs; S-Video and Composite A/V Cables
Some special issues can arise with portable televisions and large projection sets or other televisions with S-video connections.
Portable Televisions: If the existing television is a portable analog television with an "Antenna In" connection (either an RF coaxial connector port or one with VHF terminal screws plus a transformer), it can be hooked up to a converter box just like any other television. If it has only "one rabbit ear" (one pole) and does not have an "antenna in" connection, it will need one of the following: (1) three RCA composite A/V cable jacks; or (2) two front A/V input jacks that can use the composite A/V cable which came with the converter box (the cable has three red, white, and yellow wires). The yellow wire goes into the front video jack. Using a Y connector, available from a specialty electronics store, the red and white wires can be combined into a single wire that plugs into the front audio jack. If a Y connector is not available, either the red or the white wire can be plugged into the front audio jack to obtain sound. (However, this method could affect the quality of programs recorded in stereo, such as concerts.) If the portable television has none of the above, it has no simple method to be connected to a converter box and may not be able to receive digital signals after the DTV Transition (unless a special wiring solution is used; call the Fairfax County Department of Cable Communications and Consumer Protection - Communications Policy and Regulation Division at 703-324-5900 for further information).
Large Projection Televisions & S-Video Cables: Large projection televisions and some older analog televisions may have a multi-pin "S-video" connection, which can be used to improve picture quality. The S-video cable, which must be purchased separately, is used in combination with two red and white RCA audio cables to connect the converter box to the television. The Apex DT250 is the only converter box model currently available in Fairfax County with an S-video connection.

The Keighley News is joining forces with the town's Salvation Army to bring cheer to hundreds of needy children and families during the festive season.
Your favourite weekly read is combining with the charity as it launches its annual Christmas Toy Appeal.
About 150 families and more than 300 youngsters received gifts thanks to last year's partnership.
And numbers needing help are likely to be even higher this year given the current economic climate.
Another major partner in the appeal is Sainsbury's in Keighley, which has agreed to act as a drop-off point for people donating gifts and toys.
Salvation Army spokesman, Chris Bown, said: "This year we are expecting the appeal to be as busy as, if not busier than, usual.
"The increase we've seen in people asking for food parcels this year shows people are suffering badly from lack of funds.
"We usually collect about £2,000 in the Airedale Shopping Centre in December, but this year we are only going in for a collection once, on December 8, so the carol collections will be well down.
"Also, we have received less donations of money through the year, so we've less to spend on toys and food. Hopefully, donations will pour in during December."
Keighley News editor, Richard Parker, said "We're delighted to back the Salvation Army's Christmas Toy Appeal again this year.
"While we appreciate these are difficult times for us all financially, we ask as many readers as possible to do all they can to ensure every child in town has something to smile about at Christmas."
Donated presents must be new and should be suitable for children and teenagers up to the age of 16. People have until December 18 to give.
To raise extra funds, people are being asked to sponsor a Christmas tree, which will be displayed in the Salvation Army church throughout December.
Chris added: "If any person, society, or business would like to sponsor a tree we would be happy to hear from them. Please contact myself or Alison Gardner on 01535 603494. We're grateful to everyone for their support."

Play and Learn Fun fair
One of the earlier toys we bought our eldest was this play and learn fun fair and as both our little ones have grown the toy still continues to be well played with and has withstood all the tempers and tantrums.
It is recommended for children between the ages of 12 months to 36 months though older children tend to like it too!
The toy stands on a thick blue base with a ferris wheel and a helter skelter. The helter skelter has five coloured buttons which make various noises as well as a hole at the top to push the coloured balls down, watching them roll all the way down to the bottom, out of the door and down another set of five sound keys in to another door and into a storage compartment where the balls can either be stored or have the little door open so the balls fall to the floor. The ferris wheel goes round and round with three compartments for the balls to travel around on. Each of the balls have little faces on so it feels as though the child is taking little people onto the funfair toy.
As well as the various sounds there are also little songs and lights which flash too which simply adds to the childs excitement. There is a volume control on this toy though it is easy for slightly older children to find and therefore deemed useless in our house!
This toy takes two AA batteries which last quite a while. I think we have only changed the batteries once in a year which is great!
This toy can be found for between £10.00 and £15.00 though you could possibly find it a lot cheaper on sites such as Ebay. It is rather a bulky toy though so if buying this way, postage and packaging may be high.
Fully recommended!
I bought this Vtech Fun Fair electrical toy during Queensday for a lousy 3 Euros. My daughter really likes funny sounds and because she is starting to learn how to count at daycare, and also likes to imitate animal sounds, I thought this normally so expensive toy was the right one for her.
**Vtech Play'n learn Fun Fair**
The normal price for this toy is 20 pounds, which I think is pretty high priced. The fun fair needs batteries (AA ones) and has several options. At the top of the toy you can push a little ball (they come with the toy) through a hole and it will role down the green "tree"slide, going into a blue tunnel and rolling out at the bottom of the toy. A sound will be played when the ball is rolling through the toy. At the top of the so called tree you'll find buttons in different colors that each will tell you what colour they are when pushed. So your child can learn the different colors. If you press these buttons twice the symbol on the button is pronounced. For example "icecream".
On the blue part of the toy a stair of numbered coloured buttons can be found. Once pressing one of these buttons, the number on it will be called by an automatic voice. My daughter really loves to press these buttons and repeat the number (and she can now count from one to three!).
The fun fair also has a major wheel, that is (as you see on the picture) placed on the right side of the toy. This wheel has three carts, one yellow, one blue and one red. A ball can be easily fitted into these cards and when your child pushes on the carts the wheel starts turning. There also can be found a joystick (red with a green button) to turn around the wheel but my experience is that this is mainly used by older kids from the age of 2. My daughter just pulls on the little carts. A yellow star in the middle of the wheel also makes a funny sound and sings a song when pushed.
**My opinion**
I have always like Vtech toys, because they have so much to offer. This toy can be used for different ages. My daughter is 1,5 and really loves it but the children of my friends who are around three years old also cannot stop playing with it. The batteries don't have to be changed that much and there is an on/off switch on the toy!
My son loves this toy!! I got it for my son for his first birthday, initially when I got it home I was a little worried that the noise would drive me mad. He has some toys that I can't turn off unless I take the batteries out, which is a bit of a Faff!! However the Vtech funfair has an off button as well as two different volume settings. This toy has really helped my son with his co-ordination as he love putting the balls into the hole had the top and watching them go down the "helter skelter" and suddenly appear from a hatch at the bottom. Although, he needs some help to make the ball fall as it requires quite a hard push to get it through the spring.
There are a number of buttons on the toy for him to press, which is a great idea as my son, for some unknown reason, has an obsession with pressing buttons. Each button makes a different sound and activates a different mode. The different modes are a great idea as it means the music played doesn't get to repetative.
This product is said to be for twelve to 24 months,but I couldn't disagree more.My son is now three and a half and this is still a favourite of his(we've had it since his first birthday)He's learnt so much from this toy,that he was quite a smart chap when he was two.I guess this is why so many parents invest in vtech products,as they have an educational quality about them which stands out more than others.This product teachers numbers,colours rhymes,aswell as improving hand eye co-ordination too.I have been told this item is discontinued now,which is a shame as it was one of the most worthwhile 'toy investments' I made for my boy.There isn't anything the people at vtech haven't thought about.The balls included with the fun fair have a lovely little storage area where they're can be conveniently placed instead of being lost.I don't know what materials are used for when they bild their actual toys,but I can honestly say there isn't a single scratch on the fun fair.No fading or chips.Its still in mint condition.Highly recommend this toy.
I think that the vtech Play and Learn Fun fair is a fabulous toy for little children. It is recommended for toddlers aged 12 - 36 months. I bought it for my youngest daughter on her first birthday and she absolutely adores it, and my three year old loves it too.
It is basically a magic fun fair which comprises of a ferris wheel and a helter skelter. There are different coloured balls, called character balls and all given expressive faces, which your child can make go for a ride on the fair. The ferris wheel has a turning wheel which children have to operate manually and for the helter skelter there is a hole at the top which the balls are dropped down.
Now for the clever bit...
Each of the different coloured balls represent a different mode - shape, colour, music, sound and number. I believe that this works because each ball is a slightly different size and therefore activates different sensors as they are pushed through the helter skelter hole. It seems really clever to me.
At the bottom there are piano keys. When the children press these they will hear diferent thingd depending on which mode they have activated. There are also object buttons at the top of the helter skelter also linked to the various modes.
there are lots of lights and music as the children play with it too. When it is first turned on you always hear this song -
We're going to play at the fair
There are lights and sounds everywhere
The ferris wheel goes round and round
Way up high, up and down!
This gets my one year old very excited when she hears this and my three year old knows all the words (unfortunately so do I!)
Being vtech it runs on batteries (2 AA batteries) but it does not recommend rechargeable ones. This doesn't matter too much as it does not seem to be too heavy on the batteries. We have had this toy over six months and have not changed the batteries yet (and it has had alot of use!)A good feature is the automatic shut off which will turn the toy off if there have been several minutes of inactivity.
As a parent, I sometimes don't want too many loud noises and fortunately this toy does have a volume control switch (don't let your child discover thie one!)
It does seem quite sturdy and has certainly stood up to my two toddlers! At the moment it is selling in Woolworths at £14.99 which I think is a fantastic price for what you get! Both my girls and I would thoroughly recommend it!

By Varietal
I grill often and enjoy creating new variations of burgers in search of the one that is set apart from all others with a unique taste of its own.
Just like its name suggests, this burger is the result of a tribute to two important cultures in the United States: The American and the Hispanic-Spanish cultures.
This recipe was born out of my love for Gorgonzola cheese and hamburgers.
I like how the flavors play off of each other.

After beginning the week strongly, corn futures slipped lower as the Tuesday trading session passed. Weather concerns are probably providing considerable support at this juncture, since forecasts imply the central U.S. will remain dry during the weeks just ahead. Moreover, growing dryness in Brazil and Argentina are raising questions about the forthcoming South American harvest. However, one other fact of life in recent weeks has been the poor rate of American corn exports as well as talk of slowing demand from the domestic ethanol industry. Thus, having the weekly Export Inspections report show only a modest improvement from the low figure posted last week seemed to undercut CBOT futures. March corn ended the Chicago session having risen 1 cent to $7.28 1/2; December posted a similar advance, to $5.90/bushel.
Traders were reportedly buying soybean futures in response to growing worries about prospects for the Argentine crop Tuesday. The weather over its main bean growing area recently shifted from too wet to too dry, thereby threatening to curtail yields substantially. And in contrast to the slowness of American corn sales, soybean exports have proven very strong lately. For example, the weekly Export Inspections report stated last week's soybean total at about 48 million bushels, whereas forecasts averaged in the 35-45 million range. Talk that China will continue buying U.S. beans aggressively over the short term apparently encouraged bulls in the Chicago pit as well. March beans jumped 22 1/2 cents, to $14.51 3/4, at the end of the Tuesday CBOT session, while March soyoil jumped 0.75 cents to 52.43 cents/pound and March meal surged $7.2 to $421.6/ton.
The Export Inspections report appeared quite supportive of the short-term wheat outlook, since the stated 21.9 million-bushel result topped pre-report estimates in the 10-17 million range. Nevertheless, prices at the various exchanges turned downward Tuesday morning and ended the day substantially lower. One might blame forecasts of rainfall over the Southern Plains, but the seeming market reaction appeared greatly exaggerated. We tend to agree with wire service sources suggesting the reversal was technically driven, especially after seeing the failure by the March CBOT contract to top the pivotal $8.00/bushel level early in the day. Nearby futures may need to consolidate recent gains before making another run at that level. March CBOT wheat settled 11 1/2 cents lower at $7.79 1/4, while March KCBT wheat tumbled 13 cents to $8.30 3/4 and March MGE futures dove 8 1/4 cents to $8.64 1/4 per bushel.
Talk that Japan, our traditional number one beef customer, will soon raise the age limit (from 20 to 30 months) for U.S. cattle from which product may be imported sparked strong gains in live cattle futures Tuesday morning. That shift might make the bulk of beef from American animals eligible for the Japanese market, so this might give the cattle market a big boost if/when obstacles to this move are cleared. Bullish CME traders may also have been reacting to the Tuesday bounce in wholesale values, especially when those are compared to the losses posted last week. In addition, nearby futures were technically oversold late last week. February cattle had surged 0.77 cents to 125.72 cents/pound at the Tuesday afternoon close, while April climbed 0.67 cents to 130.37.
Just as CME lean hog futures finished last week in a mixed fashion, they behaved similarly Tuesday morning. Trader uncertainty about short-term prospects for the cash and wholesale markets is probably playing a big role in this confusion, but the manner in which the hog and pork complex might behave if the recent breakdown in cattle and beef prices persists almost surely perplexed the industry as well. Early Chicago action did not seem particularly promising either, since lean hog futures were trading in a mixed fashion despite the strong bounce posted by live cattle futures. Futures later rose moderately in probable response to firming cash quotes. The afternoon pork report also seemed supportive of the short-term outlook. However, the large pork inventory indicated by the afternoon USDA Cold Storage report may handicap bullish efforts Wednesday morning. February hogs settled 0.35 cents higher at 85.70 cents/pound Tuesday afternoon, while June futures climbed 0.02 cents to 97.27.

Re: New to this Nasty Disease
Mom's evaluation, labs and consult went well. The type of radiation treatment is SBRT. She goes in this Friday for simulation imaging, MRI and CT Scan to get everything "lined up" for the treatments. 5 treatments over a 2 week period depending on hers and their schedule. With the neuropathy in her hands, response to chemo as far as shrinkage, they felt radiation would be the way to go. She feels good about the path they are taking. We did learn that she only has one kidney today, a complete surprise. Need to really watch her kidney function tests as well.
Is there anyone that could give me some feedback on their experience with this SBRT?
LisaS, how are you doing? I believe you were to start radiation or already started. Hope it's going well for you.
Percy, I hope you are gaining your strength back.
Keeping all of you in my prayers,
Bilirubin is down to 0.5 today, still coming down

text: Hope and confidence after win over TCU By Dave Hickman November 4, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - All of a sudden, everything seems different for West Virginia's football team.Of course, whether it is or not is a matter for some debate.In reality, not much has changed with the team itself, right? It is still swimming upstream with an offense that only occasionally - although a bit more frequently of late - has its moments of clarity and success, a defense that alternately dominates and collapses, and special-teams play that is seldom wonderful or atrocious but tends to fluctuate among all points in between.Really, now, do you have any more confidence in any of those units to perform at a higher level than you did a week or a month ago?Didn't think so.Sometimes, though, it is merely the situation that changes, and that's certainly true for West Virginia.A week ago, all of those ingredients combined to create a sense of panic, at least among the faithful. A team that had lost three straight games and hadn't won on the road in almost a year needed to win three out of four and at least one or two away from Morgantown in order to avoid a losing season. It wasn't hopeless, but it was, well, grim.And then the Mountaineers played exactly the way they'd played all season - sputtering offense, opportunistic and then flailing defense and so-so special teams - and won a game. On the road. In overtime. Under great pressure.And suddenly a team whose fans seemed resigned to a dismal fate had hope. Shoot, not just hope, confidence. Who doesn't think this team can - actually should - win at least two of the last three and get to a bowl game? Who now worries about playing on the road, especially given it's Kansas? Even if you are inclined to write off a game this weekend at home against Texas, who fears Kansas and a home game against Iowa State? It's not that either are gimmes, especially for this team, but hasn't the feeling done a virtual 180 from pessimism to optimism?Shoot, even Dana Holgorsen admits to a sense of some relief."Well, it's not like it was our first win of the year,'' Holgorsen said Monday. "But yeah, any time you win there's some relief after the hard work you've put in that week.''Relief is certainly the best word to use here, no question. It can't really be optimism because this team is still deeply flawed. It's not as if a win over a rather mundane TCU team suddenly puts West Virginia in position to make some sort of late-season run at anything grand. There's still nothing out there except mere bowl eligibility. That's it. That and perhaps building toward something next year.The point, though, is that while that one win doesn't really alter the fact that this will go down as an utterly forgettable season in WVU football history, it does make it far more possible that instead of looking back on it as a complete disaster (think 3-8 in 2001), there's a chance it just becomes another blip on the radar (like 7-5 and a Music City Bowl the year before that). That's what people do when they reminisce about seasons past. They always remember the great ones and the lousy ones, the former because they cherish them and the latter because, no matter what they do, they just can't forget.That West Virginia won a game at TCU in 2013 is never likely to be recalled as anything monumental, if it is recalled at all. It was a 3-5 team beating another 3-5 team. It was nothing special.It could very well be the reason, however, that this team won't be relegated by history to the status of memorable for its ineptitude. While that's not a grand accomplishment, well, at least it's something.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Tongue irritation
Hi. My tongue has been irritated for a few days now. The top of my tongue feels almost rough. The sides of my tongue hurt and burn. The inner part of my lips hurt as well (like they are chapped, even though they are not). Whenever I drink soda or anything acidic, my tongue burns. My doctor said he didn't see any infection, but that I should see my dentist, which I can't afford right now. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I agree that you should see you dentist if only to rule out other problems associated with your described symptoms.
You may have traumatized your tongue by burning it (chemical versus thermal injury). You also may have a localized allergy to something that came in contact with your tongue (milk products, such as certain types of cheese, acidic foods like citrus or tomatoes, and toothpaste all can be sources of what is sometimes referred to as a "lichenoid reaction").
Based upon your description of drinking soda or acid and the burning sensation you experience, it may be related to a previous irritation and possible ulceration of the tongue surface as a result of trauma.

Corona Cigar Co., Orlando, Florida
David Savona
Posted: July 23, 2012
When Jeff Borysiewicz decided to open a cigar shop, three words rang through his mind: big-box retailer. Instead of opting for the traditional cigar shop model, where some cigars are out on display and more are stacked in the back in inventory, he decided to put everything out for the customers to see.
"There's no sense hiding it," he says quite simply. "I humidified the whole store. It's like a Disney World of cigars."
Fitting that Borysiewicz's Corona Cigar Co. is headquartered in Orlando, Florida, the land of Disney World. The three shops he has in the Orlando area are loaded with all manner of cigars, from inexpensive smokes made just for his shop to $5 to $8 premium brands making up the meat of the U.S. cigar market to $30 rarities that are hard to find elsewhere.
Corona Cigar Co. stores also boast spacious smoking lounges. The lounge in the 5,000 square-foot store on Sand Lake Road, which also is home to the company's corporate headquarters, has vast seating and a beer, wine and Port bar. The store in Heathrow is smaller, but has an Avo cigar lounge.
The finest Corona Cigar store in Orlando is the newest, located downtown, at the corner of Orange and Pine, near the old Rosie O'Grady's building and mere steps from the University of Florida.
Home to a Diamond Crown lounge, the 8,500-square-foot store brims with cigars of all types. "The idea," says Borysiewicz, "was to build a place, a mecca, where if you don't like cigar smoke, you're in the wrong place."
I shot a little video of the vast downtown store; take a look.
Corona downtown has a full bar and a luxe cocktail menu. Bartenders prepare drinks using fresh juices, no mixes, and there are rare bottles of old booze on display, such as straw-wrapped jugs of pre-Castro Bacardi rum and Prohibition-era flasks of whiskey, some with the doctor's prescription still intact. It's for medicinal purposes only, of course.

This is a beautiful story about one of the most courageous and dedicated people I have ever met, within the cigar industry or out.
Jeff B., as everyone calls him, created the Disneyland of Cigars in Orlando. Well, 3 of them actually, but this is just part of his majestic talent. Jeff B has treated all of us Manufacturers with respect and honesty - even helped guide most of us throughout our journey.
I consider him one of the most talented B&M retailers who have ever lived. And thats not BS.
William Cooper
Huge thanks to Jeff, as always, for everything you do with Corona and the CRA.
After we left there we ended up at Downtown Disney and I went to the Fuego (by Sosa) bar and had a much better time. Certainly a much smaller selection, but the two guys that were there were much friendlier and we sat talking cigars the whole time.
While I appreciate everything Jeff has done for the industry, I think I'll stick to my smaller local spots (Corona is about an hour from me) and if I'm in that area I'll go to Fuego.
fantastic service,quality product.
Jeff,I commend you for your achievement.
I live in Canada, where we can get Cuban cigars but we pay outrageous tobacco taxes. Whenever I travel to the US (about twice a year), I order on-line or by phone from Corona and they ship them to the hotel I am staying at anywhere in the continental US. They are definately my source for non-Cuban cigars for the foreseeable future.
Coming back to Orlando Nov 10-17 and will have to check out the new store.

Residents will be able to see Bradford on Avon's Historic Core Zone plans and what the project entails again at an open meeting in St Margaret's Hall on Wednesday.
Presentations will be given by David Moss, chairman of the HCZ, Simon Fisher, chairman of the Town Council HCZ Working Group and Gerald Milward Oliver, director of Bradford on Avon Develop-ment Trust who has been involved in the project since 2008.
The meeting, at 2.15pm, will also serve as an update after Bradford on Avon Area Board reiterated its support for the project at its meeting last Wednesday.
The HCZ aims to 'rebalance the relationship between pedestrians and vehicles and to reduce the dominance and intimidation of traffic' and phase one focuses on the Market Street/Church Street junction.
The decision on whether to proceed and to spend money on phase one will be taken by Cllr John Thomson, portfolio holder for highways at Wiltshire Council.

By the seventh week of pregnancy, the fetal heart has started to beat. What should we call a politician who opposes abortion after the seventh week? Is he pro-choice, because he believes that many abortions should be legal? Or is he pro-life, because he opposes half of all abortions performed in the U.S.? It's a question that Roe v. Wade has preempted us from asking, and from answering.
Chris Christie captured this in-between viewpoint in an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan. Describing his views in 1995, he said, "I would call myself . . . a kind of a non-thinking pro-choice person, kind of the default position." But "when my wife was pregnant with our daughter Sarah, who is now 15, we happened to go to one of the prenatal visits at 13 weeks. My wife didn't look at all pregnant at that point, visibly, and we heard this incredibly strong heartbeat. As I was driving back to work I said to myself, you know, under my position on abortion I would say that a week ago that wasn't a life. I heard that heartbeat, that's a life . . . I've been pro-life ever since."
Today Christie holds a standard position on abortion: that it should be illegal in all circumstances except for rape, incest, and a threat to the life of the mother. His story illustrates the power of emphasizing the lives of unborn children as they grow and develop. It appeals to those who want abortion to be rarer, but not entirely illegal.

For centuries man has developed crop plants that have many advantages compared to natural (wild) plants. Continued improvement of crops requires improved knowledge of plant biosystems in their environment and in the product chain. The focus of our programme is on sustainable traits influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors. New crops will be more resistant to diseases to reduce pesticides in agriculture. Natural traits related to health and food safety are the target of breeding programmes for consumer products. Genomics provides the chance to unravel these so-called multifactorial traits.
