In 1977 the May Tigers were coming off the programs best season, having fallen to the legendary Marathon Mustangs in the 1976 state championship game. The Tigers had lost a few players to graduation and chief among them was all-state running back Phil Mitchell. However, May found the perfect kid to replace him with transfer student Brian Holmes. The senior Holmes would have a stellar season in 1977, rushing for 3,793 yards on the season, which stood the six-man record until Bryan Griffin of Mozelle broke it in 1983. Joining Holmes in the backfield was Bo Allen, a very tough runner and lead blocker, who would rush for over 1,200 yards that season as well. This one-two punch gave head coach Grayum Hart what he needed to challenge for a state title berth.
May battled the injury bug throughout most of the season, as players missed time to a variety of ailments including hurt knees, shoulders, ankles, a broken leg and even kidney problems. However, the Tigers weathered the storm and finished the regular season 10-0.
The toughest win for the Tigers came during the regular season, 16-point victory over Gordon in week 3 district opener, 44-28. In that game, May trailed by three scores, only to rally back and win. May head coach Grayum Hart cited this win as a major turning point for the Tigers.
Head Coach Hart's preferred offensive set was the tight unbalanced line set, with the backs either in a T formation or an I formation. Many teams now days run this as their primary tight formation and call it a "J-Bird" set, named after the Jayton teams of the 1980s that ran it so well. The fact is Coach Hart was the primary reason for this sets' popularity. Two of his former players went into coaching and had great success running that offense: Phil Mitchell and Mitch Lee. So, in reality the name J-Bird is a misnomer… and now you know the rest of the story.
In the first round of the playoffs, May battled Cherokee and walked away a 46-24 victor. In the semifinals the Tigers defeated Cranfills Gap via the mercy rule, 67-20, to advance to the championship game for a second-straight season.
For the championship game, May would have to face the Marathon Mustangs for the second-straight year. This was the fifth-straight year Marathon played for a state championship. The Mustangs, as they did the previous year, were in a district all by themselves and were forced to play almost all their non-district games as an 11-man team against 11-man schools.
The game was played in Sonora on Friday Dec. 2nd at 7:30pm. May jumped out early, as Holmes rushed for two scores in the first quarter, including a 73-yard run, to give May a 14-0 lead going into the second quarter.
Marathon quarterback Lonnie Salmon, playing in his fourth state title game, led the Mustang charge, answering with back-to-back scores, to tie the game at 14-all. With three seconds left before the half, May's Bo Allen scored on a three-yard run to give the Tigers a 22-14 lead going into intermission. On that last drive before the half, Holmes suffered an ankle injury and was questionable for the second half.
Holmes had his ankle wrapped and came out for the second half with a noticeable limp, but played none the less. Marathon outscored May 15-6 in the third quarter, taking a 29-28 lead going into the final stanza.
For the first four minutes of the fourth quarter was a stalemate, then with six minutes left in the game and Marathon facing a 4th and goal at the 10-yard line, May's defense came up with a huge stop, giving the Tigers possession on their own six-yard line.
On the first play of the ensuing drive, Holmes broke free and hit an outside lane, galloping 74 yards for a touchdown. Electing to go for one point, Bo Allen ran in the conversion giving May a 35-29 lead.
The Tigers then recovered an onside kick, seemingly taking the wind out of the Mustangs' sails. Two plays later, Holmes, hurt ankle and all, refused to go down, dragging a Marathon defender once more to pay dirt, scoring on a 34-yard run. Adding another 1-point conversion, May took a 42-29 lead with about two minutes left to play.
Lonnie Salmon rallied the Mustangs, scoring on a 25-yard pass and catch to Alonzo Garcia with 1:05 left in the game. Their PAT failed and the onside kick was recovered by May, sealing the 42-35 victory.
May out-rushed Marathon 504 to 192 and out gained the Mustangs 523 to 312. Besides the obvious large rushing difference between the two teams, May won the turnover battle 5-1, recovering four Marathon fumbles and intercepting one pass. The game also featured a total of eight punts (four by each team). Brain Holmes had one of the best performances in a state title game, rushing for 365 yards and six touchdowns on 36 carries. His 174 yards in the second half were all on his bad ankle.
-There were 56 teams making up 8 district in six-man football in 1977.
-Greg Jaklewicz covered the game for the Abilene Reporter News and he is still at the paper as Editor and News Director.
-Bryan Griffin of Mozelle rushed for 3,798 yards in 1983 and is still the most rushing yards in a single season by a six-man player; Brian Holmes' 3,793 yards is second most. (based on the best information available)

Tyra Banks shocked fans of her reality cult classic America's Next Top Model when she fired Nigel Barker, J. Alexander and Jay Manuel, three cast members who had been on the show for approximately one million years.
US Magazine reported this week that two replacements for the men have been announced, Katy Perry's stylist Johnny Wujek and model Rob Evans will join publicist Kelly Cutrone at judge's table.I'm a bit worried that Katy's stylist is being added. I guess we'll have to expect some really weird challenges next cycle. Who can shoot ice cream out of the cone bra the best a la Katy's California Girls video is one idea.
Tyra also announced that the show would add a voting element, like almost every other reality show. "Cycle 19's judging panel will include your votes, comments and video messages. You will have a say in which models stay… and who goes home."

Ichthyosis Research (2006)
Philip Fleckman, MD, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
|Dr. Philip Fleckman
This article is a summary of a presentation that Dr. Fleckman gave at the National Family Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
Ichthyosis is a term for a large group of different scaling skin disorders. Because the term refers to a large group, the disorders are referred as the ichthyoses. Most of the problems in the ichthyoses occur in the epidermis, the top layer of the skin that forms a barrier between our bodies and the outside world.
While much is going on in ichthyosis research, it will be helpful for our purposes to focus on just three topics:
- Profilaggrin mutations in ichthyosis vulgaris.
- A new name for lamellar ichthyosis/CIE and the new mutations that support the new name and suggest a common metabolic pathway underlying their cause.
- Animal models of the ichthyoses.
Before beginning, let's review a little about the epidermis:
- The epidermis forms the barrier between our bodies and the outside world.
- The epidermis can be divided into four layers based on how it appears when a biopsy of skin is viewed under the microscope. From the top (outside layer) down, these are:
- The cornified layer
- The granular layer
- The spinous layer
- The basal layers
The epidermis is attached to the middle level of the skin (the dermis) at the basal layer.
Profillaggrin mutations in ichthyosis vulgaris
Ichthyosis vulgaris (IV) gets its name from the Latin word for common (vulgar) because it occurs more often than any other form of ichthyosis. It occurs in about one in every 250 individuals in the world. Until this year, ichthyosis vulgaris was thought to be an autosomal dominant disease. All of us have 23 pairs of chromosomes, the structures that carry genetic information (genes), in every one of our cells. One of each chromosome pair comes from our mother, the other comes from our father. One of these pairs determines our sex. The other 22 pairs determine the rest of us; these 22 pairs are called autosomal chromosomes. Autosomal dominant means that a change (mutation) in a gene on one of the two chromosomes in any autosomal chromosome pair results in disease. (Autosomal recessive means that mutations in the same gene on both of the chromosomes in the pair must occur for the disease to occur.) This year Dr. Frances Smith and Dr. Irwin McLean, investigators in Dundee, Scotland, along with eighteen other investigators from across the world, showed that ichthyosis vulgaris is actually an autosomal semidominant disease. Autosomal semidominant means that a mutation in one gene of the autosomal chromosome pair results in a mild version of the disease, while mutations in the gene on both chromosomes results in the full-blown disease. It has been known for several years that different degrees of severity have been seen in ichthyosis vulgaris, but those individuals with moderate to severe disease have no visible granular layer in their epidermis. In humans, the granular layer is made up of small granules in the cells that are composed of a protein called profilaggrin. Profilaggrin gets its name because it is a precursor of filaggrin, a protein that performs at least two functions in the cornified layer. Filaggrin means filament aggregating protein, because it helps to join together structural proteins in the cornified layer to form the barrier. It is then degraded to substances that bind water in the top part of the cornified layer. Those people with ichthyosis vulgaris with no granular layer have almost no profilaggrin in their epidermis. A few years ago, Drs. John Compton and Sherri Bale, Dr. John DiGiovanna, and I showed that, in one large family, ichthyosis vulgaris with no granular layer was linked to an area of chromosome 1 where a number of genes involved in formation of the epidermis, including the gene for profilaggrin, are located. We suspected that the absence of profilaggrin reflected a mutation in the gene for profilaggrin, but we were unable to prove this. The gene for profilaggrin is quite complex and difficult to study. Drs. Smith, McLean, and coworkers worked out a way to study the gene and showed that mutations in profilaggrin underlie ichthyosis vulgaris. They found that people with mutations in the profilaggrin gene on both copies of chromosome 1 have ichthyosis vulgaris, while those with mutations in only one copy have much milder clinical findings. This means that ichthyosis vulgaris is a semidominant disease. Smith, McLean, and colleagues showed that mutations in the profilaggrin gene are very common, which explains why the disease is seen in so many people. They also showed that mutations in the profilaggrin gene are very strong predisposing factors for atopic eczema and that there is a very strong association of profilaggrin mutations with asthma occurring with atopic eczema.
Lamellar ichthyosis/CIE - New concepts, new mutations
This topic deals with the importance of lipids in epidermal function. Lipids are essential for all cells and for proper barrier function of the epidermis. Many members of FIRST have been diagnosed with lamellar ichthyosis or CIE. Lamellar comes from the Latin word for plate, describing the plate-like scales. CIE is short for congenital (you were born with it), ichthyosiform (ichthyosis-like), erythroderma (red skin), or the condition where one is born with red, scaling skin. The scale in lamellar tends to be large and dark, while the scale in CIE tends to be small and white. At the extreme, people with this group of diseases have the clinical findings either of lamellar or CIE. However, it has long been known that the distinction between the two is often blurred, and people can have features of both. Both are autosomal recessive diseases (the individual has a mutation in the same gene on both chromosomes) and are rare, occurring in about 1 in every 200,000 to 300,000 people. These disorders not only have varying appearances clinically, they result from mutations in a number of different genes. The first mutation identified in these disorders was in the gene for transglutaminase type 1 (TMG1). Although mutations in this gene are found in about one-third of people with lamellar ichthyosis, they can also be seen in individuals with CIE. Since the description of transglutaminase 1 mutations, investigators in France and elsewhere have identified mutations in seven other genes that result in clinical findings of lamellar ichthyosis, CIE, and overlaps between the two. Because almost all of these disorders are autosomal recessive, they are now being grouped into the large group of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI). So, hello ARCI, goodbye lamellar and CIE. The French investigators speculate that all these gene codes for proteins are involved in a new, common pathway of lipid metabolism. If this turns out to be true, it might explain the common clinical presentations of what were thought to be two different disease types.
Animal Models of the Ichthyoses
No one argues that mice are the same as humans. However, both are mammals and have many genes in common. Many interesting tools have been developed to test on mice the effects of mutations in genes that are common to both mice and humans. One interesting model has been developed in the laboratory of Dr. Dennis Roop, a member of the Medical and Scientific Advisory Board of FIRST In this model, investigators are able to induce the findings of epidermolytic ichthyosis (formerly called EHK). They are now using these mouse models to test therapeutic drugs to treat this disease. In summary, ichthyosis vulgaris is an autosomal semidominant disease resulting from mutations in the profilaggrin gene. Lamellar ichthyosis and CIE are now being grouped into autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) and result from mutations in what might be a common metabolic pathway. And, animal models of ichthyosis are useful tools for understanding what causes and how to treat these disorders.

The major offences in force for the purposes of federal elections are contained in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 ("the Act"), and from 24 May 2001, in the general offence provisions of the Criminal Code. The Criminal Code is a Schedule to the Criminal Code Act 1995. A few of the more important electoral offences and the penalties that apply are listed below, but this list is not by any means exhaustive. There are more than 60 electoral offences, and these may change over time as Parliament amends the relevant Act. For a full account of all electoral offences, the latest reprint of the Act and the Criminal Code, must be consulted, with the benefit of legal counsel where necessary.
Enrolment on the Commonwealth electoral roll has been compulsory since 1912. Eligible citizens include all Australians citizens who are 18 years of age or over. There are some exceptions, for example in relation to some prisoners, and people of unsound mind (section 93(8) and 96A). Anyone who fails to enrol may be punished on conviction by a fine of up to 1 penalty unit (section 101(6)).
Fraudulent enrolment or voting offences under the Act include the following:
Voting at federal elections has been compulsory since 1924 for all citizens on the Commonwealth electoral roll. Anyone who is unable to provide a valid and sufficient reason to the Divisional Returning Officer for failure to vote at a federal election and who does not wish to have the matter dealt with by a Magistrates Court may pay a penalty of $20 (section 245).
If an elector who has failed to vote refuses to pay the $20 penalty, then the matter may be referred to a Magistrates Court, where a fine of up to 1 penalty unit plus costs may be ordered on conviction. Anyone who chooses not to pay the court-ordered fine will be dealt with by the Court accordingly, and this may involve community service orders, seizure of goods, or other court imposed sanctions. The penalty in such circumstances will be a decision for the local Magistrates Court and not the Australian Electoral Commission.
Fraudulent voting offences under the Act include the following:
Nomination offences include making a false or misleading statement on the nomination form, maximum penalty: 12 months imprisonment (Division 137 of the Criminal Code).
Electoral advertising offences include the following:
Scrutineers and electoral officials are not permitted to wear or display in a polling booth on polling day any badge or emblem of a candidate or political party: penalty $1 000 (section 341).
Canvassing on polling day is prohibited within 6 metres of the entrance to a polling booth: maximum penalty $500 (section 340).
Misconduct in a polling booth is prohibited, and this may include disobeying a lawful direction given by the officer in charge, or entering or remaining in the polling booth without permission: maximum penalty $500 (section 348).
Bribery is prohibited, and this includes asking for or receiving any property or benefit in order to influence or affect the vote of another person: penalty $5 000 or imprisonment for 2 years, or both (section 326). Electoral bribery must be of a serious nature calculated to influence the vote of a particular person in a particular way, and does not include the general provision of food and drink at "sausage sizzles", or benefit concerts and the like during election campaigns.
Note: One penalty unit is currently equal to a fine of $180 (section 4AA of the Crimes Act 1914).
For further information on Electoral Offences please see Electoral Backgrounders.

EU Shark Finning Ban
Shark finning – slicing off a shark's fins and discarding the body at sea - has been banned in the European Union (EU) since 2003. Yet, exemptions in the law made a mockery of the ban.
In November 2012, after six years of debate the Parliament voted to close loopholes in the ban. In June 2013, the EU Council of Ministers formally adopted a strengthened ban on shark finning. As of July 06th 2013, sharks caught by EU vessels anywhere in the world must be landed with their fins naturally attached. This victory wouldn't have been possible without you so....
Thank you for Protecting Sharks from Finning
EU Shark Journey
When Project AWARE joined the Shark Alliance as a Steering Group member in 2006, our aims were to secure an EU Plan of Action for sharks and a strong and enforceable shark finning ban. For six years, Shark Alliance worked strategically with key EU officials from virtually each of the 27 member countries. Our work led:
- The EU Commission to adopt the Community Plan of Action for Sharks (CPOA) in 2009.
- MEPs to sign a Written Declaration in support of strengthening the EU finning ban in 2010. The Written Declaration was then endorsed as a Resolution of the Parliament and forwarded to the EU Commission. As a result, the EU Commission launched a public consultation on options for how to best change the regulation in 2011.
- MEPs to vote overwhelmingly in favour of the EU Commission proposal to impose the best practice for finning ban enforcement - a prohibition on removing shark fins at sea with no exceptions.
- The EU Council of Ministers to formally adopt a strengthened EU ban on shark finning in June 2013 Divers are Serious about Sharks For six years, you stood by us.
Divers are Serious about Sharks
You supported our work and took action with us every year during the European Shark Week showing decision makers that divers are serious about sharks:
- In 2007, you've signed a paper fin and "Made Your Fins Count" during European Shark Week.
- In 2008, you called on European Fisheries and Environment Ministers to promote a strong European Plan of Action for sharks helping us collect more than 100,000 petition signatures.
- In 2009, you joined the "Predator Turned Prey" petition campaign. 93,000 of you have called on Fisheries Ministers to follow through on the Plan's initiatives and urged Spain to end its opposition to improving the EU ban on shark finning.
- In 2010, you sent letters to MEPs urging them to sign the Written Declaration in support of a strong EU finning ban.
- In 2011, you called on National Fisheries Ministers in EU Member States to close loopholes in the ban by signing the "Make the Push" petition.
- And finally, in 2012, you voiced your support online and submitted photos to the EU Shark Journey legacy website while we walked the halls to secure the final vote.
Why does a strong, enforceable finning ban matter?
The EU shark finning ban was one of the weakest in the world, yet the EU is one of the largest exporters of shark fins to Asia. With a "fins naturally attached with no exceptions" policy in place, the EU, given the global scale of its fisheries and the international influence of its shark management policies, is in a prime position to push for game changing shark conservation measures.
What's next?
Strong of this victory and our joint CITES success, we continue to push for critical safeguards for vulnerable shark and ray species when and where it matters most. There's no stopping us now! Stay tuned for the latest in shark conservation and join the Finathon™ challenge to secure funds critical to protecting sharks!

advantages of fasting in ramadan, Allah, Benefits of Fasting, benefits of fasting in islam, benefits of fasting islam, benefits of fasting one day a week, benefits of fasting ramadan, benefits of water fasting, Fasting, health benefits of fasting, health benefits of fasting ramadan, Holy quran, is ramadan healthy, Islam, medical benefits of fasting ramadan, Muslim, physical benefits of fasting, Qur'an, ramadan, Ramadan 2013, ramadan fasting health, ramadan rules, spiritual benefits of fasting, why do muslims fast
Assalaamu Alaikum,
As we all know that Islam is based on five pillars and in fact, fasting is one among them. Fasting has been made obligatory (Fardh) By Allah in Ramadan and every Muslim needs to observe entire month's fasts. Allah, the All Powerful and Creator of Universe say in Holy Quran;
O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint [2:183]
But, you may know that, as a human being or call "materialistic world's lovers", we have a habit that we want to know benefits, advantage or "plus" points before we do anything.
For example, if we say to someone to start any business, let say egg business. The first question raised by him or her will be:
"What's the profit in doing this business?"
"What's the turnover?"
"What's the return?"
This same mentality has been transferred from worldly activities or religious activities. Muslims wants to know benefits of good deeds. However, each and every portion of religion has benefits attached to them, in world as well as hereafter.
After all, knowing the benefits of good deeds will increase our Imaan and actually it is part of the Imaan, as we will get to know what Allah is going give us on this particular deed in this world and hereafter. This helps us in performing the good deeds steadfastly and consistently.
So I will first mention the hereafter's benefits of fasting so that you can be observe fasts without any worries Inshallah.
Hereafter Benefits of Fasting:
- Allah will be pleased with you.
- You will enter paradise.
- Your rank and status will increase.
- Almighty Allah will himself give you the reward of fasting.
- You will enter in Paradise from Ar-Rayyan, a specially designated gate for people, who fast.
- You will be saved from the fire of hell.
- All your sins will be forgiven by Allah.
- The supplications of the fasting persons will be answered in the month of Ramadan.
- Fasting is expiation for various sins.
- The fasting person will be among the true followers of the prophets and the martyrs.
- Fasting is a shield against one's base desires.
- Rancor from you heart will get removed.
Worldly benefits of Fasting:
- Burns and reduces fat.
- Promotes detoxification.
- Rests digestive system.
- Heals inflammatory diseases, ailments and allergies.
- Reduces blood sugar.
- Reduction in blood pressure.
- Rapid weight loss.
- Promotes healthy lifestyle.
- Boosts immunity level
- Assists in quitting severe addictions.
So, these are some of the benefits of fasting, which will help you gain rank in the eyes of Allah. Allah says in Holy Quran,
The most honored by Allah amongst you are those best in piety (Taqwa)."[49:13]
Since, we are going to fast for the entire month we should purify our intentions that we are just fasting for the sake of Allah. Pure intentions will increase the weight of your good deed several thousand times and verily, Allah will only see intentions. Allah says in Holy Quran,
Their flesh and their blood (of the sacrifices of cows, goats or camels) reach not Allah, but your piety (and internal aspirations towards Allah) reaches Him. [Al-Hajj 22: 37]
Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Indeed Allah does not look at your faces and possessions, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds. (Muslim)
Note: It means the decision of Allah's pleasure will not be based upon your faces and possessions, but upon your hearts and deeds as to how much sincerity was in your heart.
So, you may have understood that benefits of good deeds are just for encouragement and inspiration.
What really matters is the Allah's consent and nothing else. So, cleanse your intentions that you are going to fast only to please Allah and gain piety.
So, Are you ready for Ramadan 2013?

New districts for the Craven County Board of Commissioners will be official by the end of the month.
New districts for the Craven County Board of Commissioners will be official by the end of the month.
Commission Chariman Scott Dacey used his commissioner comment period during Monday�s commissioners meeting to relay the information from Greensboroattorney Marshall Hurley following last week�s U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down a portion of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The decision did not technically eliminate a requirement for U.S. Department of Justice preclearance of voting-related changes to ensure they do not discriminate against African-Americans, but it set aside the formula used for nearly 50 years to determine which governmental entities are subject to Justice Department scrutiny.
The new district lines, which are the first since 1988 for the Craven County Board of Commissioners, were approved by the board on a 5-2 vote down party and racial lines on March 18.
The opposing votes from both Democrats on the board, District 3 Commissioner Johnnie Sampson and District 5 Commissioner Theron McCabe, were to the final maps, which were a slightly tweaked version of an earlier version of the map, which both supported.
Sampson did not say why he opposed the district lines. McCabe said he had wanted the Hickman Hills area of Havelockin his new district, which would have more than tripled the number of residents.
The board had worked much of last year with an Arlington, Va., consultant using redistricting software in an attempt to make sure the new maps protected both the intent and the letter of election laws, including the principle of one man, one vote, and the Voting Rights Act.
In reacting to the 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court last week, Dacey said, �I remain proud of the process we used to develop our new maps and believe they would have met any test of the VRA.�

Fort Worth-based Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway recently completed installation of a switch in its main line through Frisco to provide rail access to the Museum's new site on Cotton Gin Road. The switch will allow the Museum's 40-piece collection of historic locomotives and rail cars to move the 55 rail miles between Dallas and Frisco and enter its new facility on their own wheels. Many of those pieces are not capable of movement by any other means due to their immense size and weight.
"This is a major contribution from BNSF, one that literally makes the Museum's relocation possible. We are grateful to BNSF for their continued support of this project, and their commitment to preserving our nation's railroad heritage," says Museum CEO, Bob LaPrelle.
The majority of the Museum's rolling stock collection consists of heritage pieces from BNSF predecessor lines, including Santa Fe, Frisco, Fort Worth & Denver, and Northern Pacific. The largest heritage piece, the 800,000 lb. Frisco Steam Locomotive #4501, will negotiate the new switch this Fall when a modern BNSF diesel locomotive eases it onto the Museum's new trackage. BNSF has graciously agreed to donate transportation of the Museum's collection as part of the move.
The Museum's track contractor completed the final 500 feet of lead track between the new site and BNSF's main line switch in late July. A symbolic driving of the last spike ceremony took place on July 26th, with Frisco Mayor Maher Maso and several Council Members taking part in the event. Final inspection of the track took place last week and some pieces of the Museum's collection are now on their way to Frisco.

Hello all,
New to the forum but I just picked up a pair of 1982 Suzuki Fa and Fz mopeds! I'm excited to fix em' up for camping and what not. The Fa run when I purchased them. The FZ i was told needed a kick start spring. Upon further review the engage spring was out of it's pocket and needed to be reseated. I do have a few questions though on some other things.
1. The carbs have more than likely been sitting and would like some info on a proper clean.
2. I need a little clarification on the rear brake cable tying into the KICK START and then the Brake itself? Should these two things be some what of an equal Adjustment?

Stomach-Churning Reason Your Sheets Need Washing Every Week
'Fess up: How often do you really change your bedsheets?
Are we talking every single Sunday? Twice a month? Whenever you get around to it?
Because we've just come across what is possibly the best - and most stomach-churning - reason for turning your laundry habits upside-down and getting that linen into a hot wash every seven days.
And it has nothing to do with the smell.
Nope. According to Mary Marlowe Leverette, a fabric care expert, an unclean bed can lead to a whole host of nasty health issues.
"During sleep, we continue to perspire, and body oils and soil are released," she told ATTN. "It is possible to find saliva, urine, genital fluids, and fecal matter in the fibers.
"If the [sheets] are not washed regularly, and the occupant has scratches or wounds, they can become infected.
"Athlete's foot and other fungi can be transferred from fabrics."
Oh, and the longer you leave between washes, the more chance your doona, pillows and mattress will become cross-contaminated too.
"Infrequent cleaning of sheets and pillowcases allows the fluids to seep into the pillows and mattresses, and those are much more difficult to clean than tossing sheets in the washer."
So there you have it. Strip that bed once a week or risk sleeping among "seeping fluids".
If anyone needs us, we'll be boiling our bedlinen.

Holder: still no decision on Wash., Colo. pot laws
WASHINGTON (AP) – Attorney General Eric Holder says the Obama administration still hasn't decided on how the federal government will respond to the new legal-marijuana laws passed by voters in Washington and Colorado.
Holder appeared Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee and was asked about the issue by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont.
The attorney general reiterated what he has said recently – that a policy decision will be announced "relatively soon." He also said he's had good conversations with elected leaders from Washington and Colorado.
The measures set up systems of state-licensed marijuana growers, processors and retail stores. But marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and state laws can be struck down if the "frustrate the purpose" of federal law.
The Justice Department could sue the states in an attempt to block the licensing schemes from taking effect.

|Perhaps actual developers should summarize status of KDE4 on Windows here, while we encourage users to describe their experiences on the Talk page?
You can use this installer to download and install the various binary packages that you need to run KDE applications on MS Windows. KDE is free and open source so you can build all the applications "from scratch" from their source code; but as a convenience for others, volunteers create these precompiled packages and make them available on the Internet.
Disclaimer These are early days for KDE4 on Windows, some programs work better than others and some fail to run altogether.
If you experience any problems please have a look into our mailing list.
You can also use the KDE Installer for Windows to install source code and the packages that you need to build KDE4 on Windows (although if you are building KDE4 on Windows you may prefer to use the emerge system to build KDE and its requirements from latest source); see Getting Started/Build/KDE4/Windows.
For the first time when you run KDE-installer you'll see the welcome screen. Since it's your first launch - leave the checkbox below unchecked. Proceed to the next screen, where you are to choose the KDE4 installation directory. It can be any of your favor, e.g. C:\KDE4.
On the next screen you are to define who you are - End User ot a Developer. The End user installation installs only binary packages and libraries needed to run KDE application. Developer mode provides you with the source code for all packages needed to build KDE from scratch. If you have chosen to be a Developer, then you need to decide what compiler to use - MinGW or MSVC. In End User mode there're only MSVC packages currently available.
Proceed to the next screen and there you're to choose the directory where all the downloaded packages will be stored. Let it be something like C:\KDE4-tmp or C:\KDE4-packages.
The next screen will ask you to choose the type of your connection to the internet. It's usefull when you are using proxy. If you don't use proxy, then just click 'Next'. If you are unsure of whether you're using proxy or if you have web browser configured to work with it properly - choose the second or the third option, according to your favourite web-browser. If you'd like to set all the settings manually - choose the last option and go ahead.
When you click the 'Next' button the list of available servers will be loaded and you could choose the one, which is closer to you. Currently the list isn't very long, though.
If you click 'Next' again the list of all available pckages will be loaded and processed to provide you with the list of package groups that you're able to select for further installation. There short description next to each group of packages for you make your choice easier. Select the packages you need. Proceed to the next screen.
Here you can see all the required dependencies. Just click 'Next' to download them all.
After all the packages are downloaded they'll be unpacked and processed by the installer. The final window will tell that your KDE installation for windows is complete.
If something goes wrong during installation, for example a file can't be replaced because it is still in use, the installer may still report successful completion. If you see any alert or failure message from the installer, when it completes quit and re-run it.
If that didn't help and you think it's a bug, please report to [2]
Navigate to the bin directory.
See if you can run the Qt program assistant.exe. Qt programs have fewer dependencies than a full-blown KDE application.
If that works, try running a simple KDE application, such as lskat.exe from the kdegames package.
Look into your start menu: there will be a new entry KDE 4.XX.XX Release. Below that folder you can find all the apps you installed.
The first KDE program you run should automatically invoke kdeinit4.exe, the KDE initialisation app, which starts background KDE applications and services like dbus-daemon, klauncher and kded4.
The first time you save or open, another background application kioslave will start.
These background KDE applications and services remain running after you close KDE applications. If you want you can shut them down by running kdeinit4 --terminate from a command prompt.
You can run kdeinit4 --list from a command prompt to see what processes are running, and it has other useful options.
The default KDE widget style on Windows is the native one. You already have Oxygen style installed (which is a plugin library %KDEROOT%\lib\kde4\plugins\styles\oxygen.dll), so it can be used as well. To set it for a single user:
Newly started applications should be displayed with Oxygen style now.
To set it for a single user:
Newly started applications should use this font now. Note: this works for any font you have installed.
To change the mouse to use double click:
Newly started applications (Dolphin and Konqueror) should use double click now.
To change locale setting:
Replace ** with your lowercase alpha-2 country code, e.g. pl for Poland, of course you need to install your language localization package.
To chose native or KDE file dialog:
[KFileDialog Settings]
Either set Native to true or false.

San Diego State sophomore Jamaal Franklin, as assistant coach Tony Bland likes to say, has committed to the NBA for next season.
Nothing But Aztecs.
Franklin, the Mountain West Player of the Year, indicated he will return to Montezuma Mesa for his junior season, according to Coach Steve Fisher and others in the program.
Franklin never actually declared for early entry into the June 28 NBA Draft, as top underclassmen are allowed to do. But he and Fisher did request an evaluation from the NBA's Undergraduate Advisory Committee, a select group of front-office personnel from NBA teams that provides feedback about a player's draftability.
Fisher said he received that assessment earlier this week and met briefly with Franklin, but terms of the NBA's pre-draft analysis preclude them from discussing it publicly. It is spring break at SDSU, and Franklin was unavailable for comment.
Fisher has said in the past he would advise underclassmen to leave college early if they're projected as a lottery pick (top 14) and to stay as a second-rounder, where there is no guaranteed money. And if they're projected in the back half of the first round, Fisher says, "you have a decision to make."
The 6-foot-5 Franklin went from averaging 2.9 points and 1.9 rebounds as a freshman to 17.4 and 7.9, among the biggest single-season improvements in the nation. He said late in the season that he didn't plan to enter the draft, then added cryptically, "You never know what might happen."
But the chances for what might happen has changed radically for underclassmen, the notion of "testing the waters" reduced to little more than dipping in a pinky toe.
NCAA Prop. 2010-24, new this year, mandates an April 10 deadline – Tuesday – for underclassmen to withdraw their names from draft consideration and retain their collegiate eligibility.
The NBA, meanwhile, sets a draft entry deadline April 29, compiles an official list and releases it on May 3 or 4. It is only then that NBA team personnel are allowed to have direct contact with draft-eligible players, and under last year's rules underclassmen would have about a week to arrange workouts and assess their draft prospects before withdrawing their name or going forward.
The intent of the NCAA rule is twofold: to encourage underclassmen to focus on school during the spring semester instead of the draft, and to give coaches an idea of scholarship availability before the spring signing period (which opens April 11). Under the old system, coaches couldn't replace a departing underclassman because they didn't know for sure they were leaving until early May.
The flip side: Underclassmen must make a decision on their NBA futures with scant information.
"It's a bad rule, in my opinion," Fisher said recently. "They screw the kids. Before, you had time to work out and do all the things where you could not only get feedback but you could go compete against some of these guys in different locations and get a feel yourself. Now it's impossible to do any of that."
Franklin technically could still enter the draft any time before 11:59 p.m. EDT on April 29, but if he does he's gone for good. And he won't have any more information than he already has.
The lone resource, then, is the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee, which tries to slot players into four categories: lottery pick, first round, second round or not drafted. Fisher has used it in the past with Kawhi Leonard, Malcolm Thomas and others.
"It's not 100-percent accurate," Fisher said, "but it's a heck of a lot more accurate than anything you're reading on the Internet or draft boards or all these pseudo street agents."

Thursday's Supreme Court decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act is arguably the most important legal ruling of the 21st century.
But the bill's "individual mandate" provision was not the only controversial piece of the legislation. The high court's ruling affects small businesses, especially those that have over 50 employees, with a mandate requiring those employers to provide health care to employees--or face a fee. For start-ups and smaller businesses, however, the ACA provides a healthy tax credit that could enable employers to provide health care and expand their businesses.
Here's what a few business owners have to say about the ruling:
Zalmi Duchman, CEO of The Fresh Diet, @ZalmiD
"We are unsure at this time on the effect this will have on our business, but we are sure it will be negative. Health care costs are way to expensive for us to offer to our employees. We will probably just pay the fines in 2014 for not providing health care instead of getting a plan for our employees."
Ilya Pozin, founder of Ciplex @ilyaNeverSleeps
"Everyone should have health insurance. I get chills when potential employees apply to work at Ciplex have no current coverage. They are rolling the dice on the most precious thing we have. Life."
Fan Bi, founder of Blank Label, @lifeoffbi
"Paying employees' health insurance is something I've been on the fence with, so this is a strong incentive. If we were to grow to over 50 employees, though, the high costs and lack of tax credits would likely hinder our growth. On the whole, because we are such a small company, we view this as a net positive."
Vanessa Merit Nornberg, president of Metal Mafia, @VanessaNornberg
"I am glad they upheld Obamacare, even though I feel the policy itself needs to re-worked. Reversing Obamacare at this point would have created further chaos and challenges--especially for small business owners. Most of us have only recently finally gotten enough information on the policy and how it will work to allow us to chart a course of action for our businesses within it."
Charlie Graham, founder of Shop It To Me, @ImCharlieGraham
"For our company in particular, I do not think this ruling will affect us negatively and it may even help us. As a small and growing Internet start-up, we already offer high quality health care coverage to all of our employees, so nothing should change. And if anything, provisions like the new exchanges (and the fact that everyone is now covered) should hopefully reduce the crazy escalating costs of health care."
Stuart MacDonald, CMO of Freshbooks and founder of Expedia.ca, @stuartma
"We're based in Canada, and the fact that you don't need an employer to provide health-care there is a real boon to entrepreneurship. People can join start-ups and go into business for themselves without risking bankruptcy or the health of their families."
Chris Mittelstaedt, founder and CEO of The Fruit Guys, @theseedfeed
"I am happy that the supreme court upheld the health care legislation today. I've always felt that the risk to all Americans--financially, socially and ethically--of having so many people uninsured is more troubling and creates a greater moral hazard than the complications of the solution that is being offered. There will always be points to a solution this big that people don't like or agree with. But today at least this ruling allows us to take a step toward figuring out a real solution rather than doing nothing and pretending that somehow health care will get better on its own."
Robbie Vitrano, co-founder of Trumpet, Idea Village, and Naked Pizza in New Orleans, @RobbieVitrano
"I am supporter of the act on the basic premise that we have de facto chosen not to deny care to people...Ignoring that fact has resulted in a highly inefficient system. This healthcare reform is an example of a proactive step, that, prior to the politicizing of the issue, was embraced by the majority of Americans."
Paul Spiegelman, founder and CEO of The Beryl Companies, @PaulSpiegelman
"I am pleased with the Supreme Court's decision. Not for political reasons, and not for business reasons, but because of my outlook on personal responsibility. I believe that our U.S. healthcare system and the lack of economic transparency has created a culture in our society that removes personal accountability for our most precious possession our health...As far as business implications, there is a tremendous opportunity for entrepreneurs to help fix this broken system. Our industry desperately needs innovation, technology and new ideas to transform the industry."
Jim Zuffoletti, president of OpenQ, @ZuffOpenQ
"The Affordable Care Act deliberations helped freeze the life sciences in their quest to 'go social.' Now that ACA's decided, we expect a renewed demand for social business solutions which will benefit OpenQ and other providers of social business solutions."
Steve Cody, founder of Peppercom, @RepManCody
"As a liberally-minded, small business owner, I'm somewhat torn. I do believe we should provide healthcare for every citizen. But, the current system is badly broken and small business owners, in particular, are being burdened with excessive costs. I'll continue to do the best to provide affordable coverage for my employees while hoping some politician somewhere can figure out the larger mess."

Author Notes: Inspired by Heidi Swanson's, Super Natural Everyday
The more I shop at the local farmer's market (we have four each week) and find the best sources for local and organic produce, our meals radiate with simple fruits, vegetables and good quality meats. Sadly rhubarb is just passing the peak and strawberries are giving way to other summer berries. This is one last hurrah to the first sweet bounty of the season. I am regretfully used to overly sweetened rhubarb dishes that tend to mask the bite that rhubarb offers. This, thankfully is not one of those sugar laden dishes. The rhubarb is delightfully roasted, holding is shape and is complimented with a simple syrup that is created with juicy strawberries, balsamic vinegar, sweet vermouth, pure maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Simplicity at it its finest. —Ladystiles
Food52 Review: WHO: Ladystiles is a photographer and writer on her food blog, The Beauty of Life.
WHAT: The classic combination of strawberry and rhubarb, wrapped up in a sweet-savory syrup.
HOW: Chop strawberries and rhubarb, toss with maple syrup, vermouth, balsamic vinegar, and salt, and roast.
WHY WE LOVE IT: The salt, vermouth, and balsamic take this dish into savory territory -- in a good way. It'd be perfect on ice cream or yogurt, baked into a crostata, or just eaten by the spoonful. —The Editors
Makes: 5 cups
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 40 min
cups hulled strawberries, cut in half
cups roughly chopped rhubarb
cup maple syrup
cup sweet vermouth
tablespoon balsamic vinegar
teaspoon sea salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack positioned in the middle of the oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet or large cooking dish with parchment paper, this is a juicy dish and you don't want the delicious juices running all over your oven.
- In a large bowl mix the strawberries and rhubarb. In a small bowl whisk together the maple syrup, sweet vermouth, balsamic vinegar and salt. Pour this over the rhubarb and strawberries, gently tossing until coated. Spread the fruit out on the baking dish in a single layer, drizzling the juices over the fruit and slide into the oven.
- Roast the fruit for about 40 minutes, the juices should be thick and the rhubarb tender to touch. Transfer to a bowl once out of the oven and still warm. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to one week Serve spooned onto ice cream or a slice of sweet bread, a biscuit, oatmeal or french toast.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

The Wall Street Journal: Dismissing Environmental Threats Since 1976
Research ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG & JILL FITZSIMMONS
To forestall policy on climate change, the Wall Street Journal editorial board routinely downplays scientific consensus, overstates the cost of taking action, and claims that politics, not science, motivate those concerned about the climate. But an analysis of more than 100 editorials from 1976 to present shows that the Wall Street Journal used these same rhetorical tactics in previous decades on acid rain and ozone depletion and they did not stand the test of time.
The Journal's Pre-Fabricated Arguments Against Environmental Protection
For decades the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board has campaigned with industry against government action to address major environmental threats. Regardless of the specific issue, the editorials offer this familiar refrain:
- 'We Don't Know Enough': The Journal makes claims that are out of step with the weight of scientific evidence, seizes on uncertainties, and argues for further study before any action is taken to mitigate the risk.
- 'It Will Cost Too Much': The Journal claims regulations would have enormous economic costs, often citing unreliable industry-backed studies.
- 'It's All Politics': To sidestep the science showing a clear threat, the Journal claims that those who want to address the problem are motivated by politics, not science.
The Wall Street Journal On Climate Change
WSJ Claims We Don't Know Enough About Climate Change. Despite a strong scientific consensus based on abundant evidence that human activities are contributing to global climate change, the Wall Street Journal editorial board continues to cast doubt on the science:
- A December 2011 editorial said that the global warming debate requires "more definitive evidence." [Wall Street Journal, Global Warming Wash Out, 12/13/11]
- A June 2011 editorial called global warming a "fad-scare." [Wall Street Journal, The Light Bulb Police, 6/7/11]
- A February 2010 editorial stated: "We think the science is still disputable." It questioned "how much our current warming is man-made as opposed to merely another of the natural climate shifts that have taken place over the centuries." [Wall Street Journal, The Continuing Climate Meltdown, 2/16/10]
- A July 2009 editorial stated "There is still serious scientific debate about the causes, effects and possible solutions for climate change." [Wall Street Journal, Listening to India, 7/25/09]
WSJ Fearmongers About The Cost Of Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office determined that the cap-and-trade legislation passed by the House in 2009 would have a "modest" impact on GDP and "only a small effect on total employment in the long run." But the Journal has painted cap-and-trade as a "tax" that would cost "millions of jobs:
- A November 2010 editorial claimed that a national cap-and-trade program "would have cost millions of jobs." [Wall Street Journal, Cap and Retreat, 11/20/10]
- An October 2010 editorial claimed that California's cap-and-trade program will cost "tens of thousands of jobs." [Wall Street Journal, California's Cap-And-Trade War, 10/18/10]
- An August 2010 editorial called cap-and-trade a "tax" that would have an "enormous economic cost." [Wall Street Journal, The Death of Cap and Tax, 8/2/10]
- An August 2009 editorial claimed that a national cap-and-trade program "would add so much to the cost of doing business in the U.S. that it would drive factories and jobs overseas." [Wall Street Journal, More Cap-and-Trade War, 8/12/09]
WSJ Claims Politics Drives Climate Concerns. Following the overblown "Climategate" controversy, the Journal editorial board has repeatedly and baselessly accused climate scientists of manipulating data to promote a political agenda. The Journal has also suggested that "advocates" have tried to shut out dissenting voices to manufacture a scientific consensus on climate change, and that politicians have stoked fear about climate change in an effort to expand government power:
- A September 2011 editorial claimed that Al Gore and other "climate-change advocates" have "tried to bully anyone who keeps an open mind," which "is true of many political projects, but it is or ought to be anathema to the scientific method." [Wall Street Journal, 'High School Physics', 9/19/11]
- A July 2010 editorial claimed that the Climategate emails "revealed a habit among climate scientists of trimming their scientific sails to the political winds." It concluded that climate scientists "need to start taking the politics out of the science." [Wall Street Journal, A Climate Absolution?, 7/19/10]
- A February 2010 editorial called UN climate reports "sloppy political documents intended to drive the climate lobby's regulatory agenda." [Wall Street Journal, The Continuing Climate Meltdown, 2/16/10]
- A February 2009 editorial said "the political class loves a cap-and-trade tax because it gives them new economic and political power." It suggested that Democrats in Congress see "political control" of cap-and-trade revenues as "a source of tens of millions in new campaign contributions from thousands of affected businesses." [Wall Street Journal, An Inconvenient Tax, 2/27/09]
The Wall Street Journal On Acid Rain
U.S. Acid Rain Program Widely Seen As A Success. After a decade of warnings from the EPA, the Department of Energy, and the National Research Council that sulfur dioxide emissions from coal plants were contributing to acid rain, Congress passed and George H.W. Bush signed the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, which established a cap-and-trade program to reduce sulfur emissions. The program, which took effect in 1995, has "substantially reduced" acid deposition in the Northeast and has led to major improvements in air quality with "significant benefits to human health," according to a 2010 progress report from the EPA. And it has done so in a cost-effective way. A 2005 analysis estimated the annual benefits of the program in 2010 at $122 billion compared to only $3 billion in costs -- a 40:1 benefit/cost ratio. Compliance costs have been "substantially lower" than the EPA estimated when the program was enacted. Acid rain is still a problem in parts of the U.S. and some lakes have yet to fully recover, but overall the cap-and-trade program is widely seen as a success. The Economist called the acid rain program the "greatest green success story of the past decade."
WSJ Shed Doubt On Science Behind Acid Rain. In the 1980s, evidence mounted that sulfur dioxide emissions from coal plants in the Midwest were contributing to acid rain, threatening hundreds of U.S. lakes and forests in the Northeast and Canada. But for more than a decade, the Journal editorial board argued that natural variability overshadowed the impact of human activity, and called for further research before taking action to limit harmful emissions:
- A May 1980 editorial questioned the link between increased coal burning and acid rain, concluding that existing "data are not conclusive and more studies are needed." [Wall Street Journal, Acid Rain, 5/30/80, via Factiva]
- A September 1982 editorial stated: "Scientific study, as opposed to political rhetoric, points more and more toward the theory that nature, not industry, is the primary source of acid rain." [Wall Street Journal, Gitche Gummee's pH, 9/7/82, via Factiva]
- A January 1984 editorial called for "a few more years of research" before implementing regulations to address acid rain. [Wall Street Journal, Patience and Precipitation, 1/11/84, via Factiva]
- A September 1985 editorial declared that "the scientific case for acid rain is dying." [Wall Street Journal, Out of the Blue, 9/24/85, via Factiva]
- A January 1986 editorial declared: "Man-made acid rain pales by comparison with natural sources." [Wall Street Journal, All Wet on Acid Rain, 1/10/86, via Factiva]
- A June 1989 editorial argued that we should "wait for science to understand, for example, to what extent acid rain is man-made" before enacting regulations. [Wall Street Journal, All Apocalyptics Now?, 6/16/89, via Factiva]
WSJ Claimed Politics -- Not Science -- Was Behind Efforts To Address Acid Rain. To obscure the science, the Journal editorial board claimed efforts to take action were simply driven by "politics, not science":
- An October 1983 editorial claimed that "politics, not science, clearly is driving the acid-rain campaign. In true Madison Avenue fashion, acid rain sells..." [Wall Street Journal, Gold (Plated) Fish, 10/12/83, via Factiva]
- A July 1987 editorial stated: "As the acid-rain story continues to develop, it's becoming increasingly apparent that politics, not nature, is the primary force driving the theory's biggest boosters." [Wall Street Journal, "No Remedies, Please", 7/27/87, via Factiva]
WSJ Wildly Overestimated The Cost of Cutting Emissions. The Journal editorial board initially opposed implementing a national program to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions because of the "immense cost":
- A June 1982 editorial warned of the "immense cost of controlling sulfur emissions." [Wall Street Journal, Rained Out, 6/29/82, via Factiva]
- A January 1984 editorial claimed a regulatory program for acid rain would cost "upwards of $100 billion." [Wall Street Journal, Patience and Precipitation, 1/11/84]
- A September 1987 editorial claimed that legislation to address acid rain would cost "as much as $94 billion over a decade." [Wall Street Journal, The $94 Billion Report, 9/23/87, via Factiva]
- A January 1990 editorial predicted that the acid rain provisions in the Clean Air Act amendments would lead to "staggering" utility costs. [Wall Street Journal, No Pap From NAPAP, 1/26/90, via Factiva]
WSJ Later Acknowledged The Acid Rain Program Was "Fabulously Successful" And Cost-Effective. A decade after the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 instituted a cap-and-trade program for sulfur dioxide emissions, the Journal acknowledged that the acid rain program was a success, and even recommended establishing a similar program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions:
- A July 2001 editorial called the cap-and-trade program for sulfur dioxide "fabulously successful," noting that the program "saves about $700 million annually compared with the cost of traditional regulation and has been reducing emissions by four million tons annually." It added: "When the program is fully implemented, sometime over the next couple of years, cost savings should be as much as $2 billion a year -- that's twice as much as originally estimated by the EPA." In light of this success, the editorial called on the Bush administration to "propose a domestic cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide." [Wall Street Journal, Emissions Impossible?, 7/23/01, via Factiva]
- An April 2004 editorial noted that cap-and-trade "worked for acid rain." [Wall Street Journal, The Mercury Scare, 4/8/04]
- A March 2005 editorial said the acid rain program led "to big improvements," noting: "Sulfur dioxide emissions are down about 40% compared with 1980 levels, and at half the cost of doing so through the command-and-control approach." [Wall Street Journal, The Clean Air Follies Continue, 3/18/05]
The Wall Street Journal On The Ozone Hole
Due To Government Action, Ozone Layer Is Recovering. As early as 1974, scientists warned that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which were commonly used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants, could break down the Earth's stratospheric ozone layer, increasing human exposure to harmful UV rays that can cause cancer. Further studies affirmed the risk of CFCs, which led the FDA, EPA and CPSC to enact a ban in 1978 on nonessential uses of CFCs in aerosols like hair sprays and deodorants. But CFCs continued to impact ozone levels, and in 1985 scientists discovered a massive hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica. In the wake of that finding, 24 countries, including the U.S., signed the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which froze CFC consumption and called for a 50% reduction worldwide by 2000. Since then, over 150 countries have ratified the protocol, CFCs have been gradually phased out of consumer products in the U.S. and around the world, and consumption has fallen by 98%. As a result of these steps, "levels of most ozone-depleting chemicals in the atmosphere have been gradually declining," according to NASA. Because these chemicals remain in the atmosphere for decades, a "significant" ozone hole still recurs annually over Antarctica, and the ozone layer is not expected to fully recover until midcentury. However, the CFC phase-out has already led to major health benefits. A 2010 EPA report estimated that by 2165, CFC regulations under the Clean Air Act will have prevented more than 6.3 million skin cancer deaths in the U.S. alone and saved $4.2 trillion in health care costs -- a 76:1 benefit/cost ratio.
WSJ Shed Doubt On The Impact Of CFCs On The Ozone Layer. Even when the link between CFCs and ozone depletion was firmly established by the scientific community, the Journal editorial board maintained that it was "only a theory" and favored postponing regulatory action:
- A January 1976 editorial said the connection between CFCs and ozone depletion "is only a theory and will remain only that until further efforts are made to test its validity in the atmosphere itself." It added that the ozone layer "is subject to constant change in thickness through natural processes that have nothing to do with aerosol cans" and concluded that "it is doubtful there could be a very significant effect" of CFCs on the atmosphere. [Wall Street Journal, A Bit of Prudence at the CPSC, 1/6/76, via Factiva]
- A May 1979 editorial said that scientists "still don't know to what extent, if any, mankind's activities have altered the ozone barrier or whether the possibly harmful effects of these activities aren't offset by natural processes ... Thus, it now appears, all the excitement over the threat to the ozone layer was founded on scanty scientific evidence." [Wall Street Journal, Ozone Re-Examined, 5/15/79, via Factiva]
- A March 1984 editorial said that concerns about ozone depletion were based on "premature scientific evidence" and claims that "new evidence shows that the ozone layer isn't vanishing after all; it may even be increasing." [Wall Street Journal, Heads in the Ozone, 3/5/84, via Factiva]
- A May 1985 editorial claimed that the "ozone scare" was a result of "pop science" and suggests that it turned out to be a "false alarm." [Wall Street Journal, Another False Alarm, 5/31/85, via Factiva]
- A March 1989 editorial called for more research on the "questionable theory that CFCs cause depletion of the ozone layer," calling on scientists to "continue to study the sky until we know enough to make a sound decision regarding the phasing out of our best refrigerants." [Wall Street Journal, Ozone Chicken Littles Are at It Again, 3/23/89, via Factiva]
WSJ Implied That CFC Ban Was Based On Politics, Not "Real Science." A February 1992 editorial stated: "It is simply not clear to us that real science drives policy in this area." [Wall Street Journal, Press-Release Ozone Hole, 2/28/92, via Factiva]
WSJ Exaggerated Costs Of CFC Alternatives. As policymakers debated how to address ozone depletion, the Journal repeatedly warned that phasing out products containing CFCs would lead to "big price increases on many consumer products." But before the CFC production ban even took effect in the U.S., the Orange County Register reported that companies were already "finding replacements for CFCs and, in some cases, making money from them." It quoted David Doniger of NRDC who noted that despite "panicking over the impending CFC ban," the electronics industry was "awash in replacements" five years later. Twenty years after the Montreal Protocol took effect, an EPA report stated that "largely due to innovative research, many alternatives are available" to ozone depleting substances. According to a 2007 analysis in the Harvard Law Review, "the relatively low expected cost of the Montreal Protocol ... turned out to be even lower than anticipated because of technological innovation." And contrary to the Journal's prediction, these alternatives haven't led to a "dramatic increase" in consumer prices. In fact, the costs of refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances "have been falling since the late 1970s," according to researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
- A March 1984 editorial claimed that banning CFCs "cost the economy some $1.52 billion in forgone profits and product-change expenses" and 8,700 jobs. [Wall Street Journal, Heads in the Ozone, 3/5/84, via Factiva]
- An August 1990 editorial warned that banning CFCs would lead to "a dramatic increase in air-conditioning and refrigeration costs." It added: The likely substitute for the most popular banned refrigerant costs 30 times as much and will itself be banned by the year 2015. The economy will have to shoulder at least $10 billion to $15 billion a year in added refrigeration costs by the year 2000. [Wall Street Journal, Clean Air Revisited, 8/29/90, via Factiva]
- A February 1992 editorial warned that accelerating the phaseout of CFCs "almost surely will translate into big price increases on many consumer products." [Wall Street Journal, Asides: Middle-Class Payments, 2/14/92, via Factiva]

Notable Cannes Film Festival winners
In response to the Venice film festival, launched in 1932 but increasingly under the thumb of Mussolini and the Nazis, France's Festival du Cannes set up shop Sept. 1, 1939 in the Cote d'Azur resort town west of Nice. A so-called "steamship of stars" set sail for Cannes, bearing everyone from Gary Cooper to Mae West to Tyrone Power. "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," among other Hollywood films set to be screened that September in Cannes, shared the roster with movies from Britain, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Belgium and France. Then, on opening day, Hitler invaded Poland. Following the "Hunchback" screening, the festival was postponed until six devastating years later. And then, after World War II, the festival began making its mark on international cinema in earnest. Here are 10 top prize-winners from across the decades at the world's premier celebration (invitation only; it's not a public festival like Berlin or Toronto), with an emphasis on English-language titles. -- Michael Phillips

Purchasing Bulk CBD oil at wholesale in Olympia basis is not an easy task. There are many things to consider when doing so. In fact, the cost and quality of the oil would depend on the plant it is extracted. Another factor that has a direct impact on the price of the product is the quantity of Wholesale Bulk CBD oil produced by the plant.
Wholesale CBD Pain Relief Lotion Benefits
CBD oil is one of the most important oils on earth. In fact, industrial hemp oil is not a drug as most people would think. The THC content in this oil isn't significant enough to produce any psychotropic effect. Our oils are 100% made in the USA and don't contain any THC. Many people might come across industrial hemp oil when searching for cannabidiol (CBD) oil to purchase.
Hence, CBD wholesalers in Olympia need to do their homework and get to know what exactly are their clients searching for. There are numerous fake CBD oil wholesalers in the United States, Canada, and the UK for that matter. More than 90% of wholesalers offer low-quality oils with a purity levels.
Buy Wholesale CBD Isolate in Olympia Kentucky
Our prices are quite economical compared to other so-called CBD wholesalers on the market. In fact, most of these people are middlemen or brokers who drive the prices up. That's why you need to buy from the producer if you want the best oil at an affordable price. A one-stop shop is the best place to purchase your CBD materials, oils, and get them shipped to your doorstep. That way you get a high-quality product at a price you could easily afford. One disadvantage of hemp oil is it hasn't been extensively tested on humans as yet. Although hemp oil is likely to have health advantages to humans, it is not established properly by the medical fraternity.
You don't have to visit our shop in person to buy the product. That will help you save time and money in the process. You should extensively research the drug store before buying your products. Remember, there are many scam traders posing off as legitimate drug sellers online.
Since CBD is a natural oil, it is safe to be taken orally. We offer bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil to all our deserving consumers out there. In fact, we are the leading provider of wholesale CBD oil products on the market.

Research about CBD is still in the beginning stages. This is thanks to the evolving laws in states like California and Colorado that have begun to note that marijuana has a wide variety of medicinal benefits. CBD pain relief cream has helped multiple patients in states where marijuana is medically legal, and has allowed them to enjoy relief of numerous symptoms.
Much of the research about marijuana has been focused on its THC content. This has left researchers with much difficulty learning about the other ingredients in the plant. The last several decades, however, have taught us that CBD and other parts of the plant can provide many benefits to patients who choose to use them to treat their symptoms.
However, it is crucially important to be sure that you get your CBD cream from a distributor who is authorized. States that are authorized to retail medical marijuana have strict rules about making and distributing these types of creams. Learn about the regulations where you are, and be sure that anything you purchase follows these rules.
It's also important that you learn how much of the cream to use, as well as the precise way to apply it. Ingredients of the cream are always absorbed through your skin, so it can be tough to sort out the right dosage for you at first. Some individuals will recommend that you start a chart when you begin to use the cream, noting the result that you're achieving. For instance, you can note your pain levels when you first begin to apply the cream.
Write down how much of it you use on which are of your body, as well as the brand you've used. Also note how you're feeling fifteen minutes after application, a half hour later, and then after a full our. Keep a log like this, and over time you'll have the right dosage to use for the level of pain that you're experiencing. You'll also know where to apply the cream to your body, as different areas may respond to the cream in different ways. This makes it essential that you keep a careful record of all the areas that you use the cream on your body, so that you'll have a complete understanding of your results.
You'll be able to use CBD pain relief in the states where it is now legal, and it will help you to obtain long lasting freedom from the aches and pains that you currently have. You'll be able to permanently say goodbye to your chronic pain, using a good quality CBD pain relief cream.
Wholesale CBD Topicals From Hemp Genix
Wholesale CBD Skin Care for Psoriasis
A lot if individuals who are turning to cannabis oil creams and CBD oil have become disenchanted with pharmaceuticals, steroid creams, conventional treatments, and self-injection methods. They have been put through the ringer, then a certain person persuaded them to try a CND cram and VOILA, results of varying degrees that were instantaneous.
One of the many side effects associated with conventional treatments, one which seem to be brought up quite often is the thinning of the skin which over time leads to damaged cells and skin weakness. CBD ointment, oils and creams, even if they were not to work, will not cause thinning.
When I use the word miraculous, I am referring to the fact that if you browse through various forums, you will find countless people who experienced positive results almost immediately. Generally, after having had years with minimal and even no results from orthodox treatments.
Although there were those who experienced a complete disappearance of their psoriasis, there we other who experienced various levels of improvement, For example, the psoriasis did not completely disappear, but the itching and inflammation did.
The biggest bit of advice that those who do experiment with homemade CBD creams give to others is that if it seems as if the cream is not working for you, it is probably due to it containing a weak CBD potency. Try using a CBD or THC oil that is stronger.
Eighty percent of those the individuals you will see feedback from claim that their psoriasis symptoms improved after they experimented with CBD and THC oils: redness, flaking, soreness, itching, bleeding, etc.
There are those who experience positive effects after smoking cannabis, however other opt for using THC and those who prefer CBD oils that do not contain THC or even CBD vapes. When it comes to this there are many options to choose from and they are promising!
Yes, you will stumble upon those who claim that they did not see any improvement at all. However they seem to be few and far in between, and generally it is they who also claim to have concocted their own remedies with the use of other oils and herbs. What is confusing is that even if you were to opt for giving it a try to treat psoriasis, there are countless other amateur recipes available.
Two Studies on the use of CBD to Potentially Treat Psoriasis
After browsing through various forums and search engines, here is what I was able to find. There are a few others out there; however it is not my goal to bog your mind down. Here are the studies:
Study Number One: Human Keratinocyte Proliferation is inhibited by Cannabinoids
The results show that even though a circumstantial role may be played by CB receptors in keratinocyte proliferation, there is no significant contribution they make to this process. The results indicate that keratinocyte proliferation is inhibited by cannabinoids, therefore supporting an important role for cannabinoids to help treat psoriasis.
Study Number Two: Topical THC and Anti-Inflammatory Activity
THC that is topically applied can effectively reduce contact allergic inflammation by lowering the pro-inflammatory keratinocyte derived mediators who orchestrate the immune myeloid cell infiltration that is independent from CB1/2 receptors. This offers major implications towards the future development of strategies that can harness cannabinoids as a way of treating inflammatory skin diseases.

Changes in the Crab Nebula
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image reveals how wave-like structures unleashed by the powerful remnant of a dead star move outward over time in the heart of the Crab Nebula.
The surviving remnant is the collapsed core of a burned-out star, and is called a neutron star. This powerhouse has about the same mass as the sun but is squeezed into an ultra-dense sphere that is only a few miles across and 100 billion times stronger than steel. It is a tremendous dynamo, spinning 30 times a second. This whirling dynamo is visible in the image as the bright object just below center. The object to the left of the neutron star is a foreground or background star.
The image was assembled from three separate exposures taken between September and November 2005 by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys. Each epoch was assigned a different color to show the motion of the wave-like features over time.
