The Conversation
I remember that track!
MX vs Atv Unleashed right?
Can we all say "Over-rated"..
@realmofo.....no......just you.......any other human on this planet that rides bikes would LOVE to ride that..........and suffer through being in Hawaii....sour grapes i think....
Awesome Mook stay on two wheels this year!
You can aways count on therealmofo for some great input.
@ Spotted
haha good one....that is the frist thing I thought of......I railed that track on the X-box!
What a great place that would be to ripdown some laps.
That is a sick track and a sick whip, but the kid needs more corner speed. Stop hacking the throttle back and fourth in corner entry.....smooth. Fix that and here comes those results everyone expects. Get em Mookie!
I think the "slow" corner speeds were because of track conditions. It looked pretty hard packed and slippery. It wasn't the most impressive video but it is always cool seeing the helmet cam of guys just riding and throwing big whips on a real track (not freestyle ramps) because I certainly don't know what that looks like in first person view.
Whats wrong BillC, no arguement to jump in the middle of so you have to try and start one?? Get a life...
And yes I would love to ride that and be in Hawaii.. So what.. Just think the guy is WAAAAY over-rated , he gets what he has because of his brothers past accomplishments..You know its fact.. There are riders who are way more accomplished who dont get the go-pro sponsers and the clothing deals and all because James isnt their brother..
cool video, i think he needed to raise the go pro just a little, seemed like it was aimed just a little to low
I never really expected him to be this good- A few years back we didn't even know if he was gonna race pro.
Really cool video and that track looks like a freeway! Very out door style track and not at all a Supercross track. Unile James, I think Mookie carries himself well. I would love to see him on the podium a few times this year but some of the new blood coming into the class along with some of the veterans is going to make it really tough.
Keep it on two wheels Mookie!

They've done so quietly for months, enlisting the help of a regular cadre of volunteers. From Little Chico Creek to Comanche Creek to Lindo Channel, they scour vegetation for litter.
They've now been asked to stop, at least for a little while, because of safety concerns.
"There have been a number of close calls and we just think being prudent out there with safety is important right now," said city park and natural resources manager Dan Efseaff.
Significant time has been dedicated recently toward homeless encampments, but limited park staffing have other tasks to tackle. State Parks and Fish and Wildlife departments have provided support lately, but it's not enough.
"In the past we've been able to accommodate (volunteers) better and work with their schedule," Efseaff said. "Now, we've had to go back and work with our schedule instead."
It's not right for citizens to do cleanups on their own, Efseaff said.
"These are areas that are secluded. They are far from the general public and there are bad things that happen out there," he said.
Recently, a ranger encountered a man with two 12-inch knives strapped to his belt, a machete and four baseball bats within grabbing distance. The ranger was able to diffuse the situation but, "that's not a place for volunteers," Efseaff said.
At another recently cleaned camp, its resident had MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant infection. City staff has protective equipment and infectious disease immunization to better protect them, but volunteers may not, he said.
Park volunteer Susan Mason, who has coordinated many of the cleanups, said she is disappointed but understands concerns.
"There is definitely a change in the character of some of the homeless," she said. "I used to recognize many of the people that were camping because I saw them a lot and now there are a lot of new people. A lot of dogs. A lot of young couples. A little more belligerency."
Although Mason has not heard of any recent altercations, she knows of a few instances of hostility volunteers have encountered. And she admits in remote areas with no landmarks, it could be difficult to tell police a location if there is an incident.
It makes sense to have police, code enforcement and other support, said Cynthia Gailey, who has organized recent cleanups in her Lindo Channel neighborhood.
She's not afraid of confrontation but usually avoids risky-looking areas and tells volunteers to do the same.
"You just never know what you are going to come across," Gailey said. "I don't want to go down there without some security backup."
For now, the city hopes to help coordinate larger-scale cleanups, including one on Oct. 25 and 26 with rangers, city crews and other law enforcement teams, Efseaff said.
"In the future, if our number of homeless decrease, if we get ahead of things, that routine pickup can become more of the norm," he said. "Right now we have to gear up for a mini-campaign."
Mason would love to see more people help in the monthly cleanups. The impact of the encampments is "horrifying," she said.
"There is feces in the creek, all the trash, trampling of the vegetation, the impact of the wildlife who can't use those areas," she said. "And there is a community effect for people who would like to go out in nature or a creek setting and they are afraid or just so disgusted they don't go out anymore."
That's the case in Lindo Channel, Gailey said. In her 24 years as a neighbor, it's gone from a favorite walking path and place for kids to play to one trashed by the homeless.
"The cigarette butts alone are enough to gag a fish," Gailey said. "There's human feces and all this trash that goes downstream. It becomes huge dams of garbage."
Whatever solution comes of this, she hopes it's fast. Once the rain comes, it washes the whole problem downstream.
Ultimately, to be proactive instead of reactive, the homeless element itself must be addressed, Gailey said.
"There has to be some kind of effort between law enforcement, social services, mental health and citizen volunteers," she said. "It's urgent we start coming up with some reasonable solutions."

Since doing the demo beta test for Eschalon, I've been really wanting (aside from the full game!) a good fantasy-setting RPG to play, so I'm asking the pool of resources here for suggestions.
I want something with a good story where my character choice matters, and I like a good deal of character customisation. I'm not too picky on graphics, but I like graphics that give a sense of immersion and atmosphere (Infinity Engine-grade graphics for example, are just fine).
Played the usual suspects, so I'm looking beyond those. Any thoughts?

Product Description
Amundson TR-X Stand-Up PaddleboardsThe Amundson TR-X Series are fast boards for paddlers who want to get the most out of their time on the water, whether training or racing. These longer boards are faster and take advantage of unique weight saving technology. The use of carbon fiber is very important in keeping these boards stiff and light. Amundson works with the world's leading production facility in Thailand, utilizing the latest proven wood sandwich and carbon composite techniques to consistently produce boards at the quality level that top paddlers demand. 14'0" TR-X Carbon Stand-Up Paddleboard The ultimate weapon for total world domination! The versatile design of the 14'0" TR-X enables it to excel in flat water and down winders, yet still be stable enough to make it a great distance paddler in rough conditions. At 28" wide with a flat bottom, this is one of the most stable 14' boards you'll find. The bow of the board has a full volume piercing nose design that transitions into a recessed standing area. With just the right amount of rocker, the board shows blazing speed in flat water and chop, but still cuts loose to catch swell rides with control. Laminated with a full carbon top and bottom and a layer of high-density PVC foam in the standing area, the 14'0" TR-X is light enough for competition but durable enough to last. The deck is left unpainted so the beauty of the carbon weave shines through. There are four deck inserts on the fore-deck for PFDs or gear. 14'0"L x 28"W x 7.25"D. Weigh 27 lbs. |

Seriously – "Paul Kersey"??? You really don't want to tick off Charles Bronson by usurping his name, now do you?!
I've noticed in ads on TV recently that a rather famous news broadcaster John Sigenthaler is now employed by the Al Jazeera corpoation. He's either somekind of wacko or is in it strictly for the bucks being offered.
Some people just don't have any ethics let alone morals.
what end do you point? does the thing come out this end?
I hope this decision will not be regretted. While consolidation of resources makes perfect sense, the laws of the State of Connecticut do not, and the political atmosphere surrounding firearms and component manufacturing is, in my opinion, unstable.

I am not sure if this is the right place, but I just learned from a good friend who recently lost her husband to cancer about a 7 year old boy from Oswego, NY who has cancer and really wants to go to a Bills football game. He is in Stage 4 neuroblastoma, so it is not good. My brother's kids go to school with this boy, named Julian. His parents have a web site: http://www.juliansjoust.com/juliansbucketlist.html
Please check out the web site for more information.
I am trying to get some contact information to see if I can get someone from the Bills or anywhere to help out and give this kid the royal treatment at a game? Hopefully, someone can help do this for him as I don't think he has a lot of time left! Thanks.

THE LOYOLA MAROON September 10,1993 • • Loyola University New Orleans, LA 70118 • Vol. 73 No. 2 • Future of WLDC uncertain By Jerry Griffin Contributing writer Loyola's radio station, WLDC-AM, which used to broadcast on Loyola cable channel 8, did not receive any applicants to fill the position of general manager last spring, and therefore was in jeopardy of signing off the air. The student lounge on the fourth floor of the communications/ music building still remains silent as student interest is evaluated to determine whether operations will continue. "I need at least 20 contentious and committed volunteers to run the station the way it should be run," Dr. Mary Blue, associate professor of communications and WLDC faculty advisor, said. Many incoming students think that they must be a communications major to work for WLDC. According to Dr. Blue, this is not true. "We take students from all academic disciplines. All that is required is a desire to work in radio," she said. One major problem in filling the position stems from the 1987 decision to halt tuition remission for the general manager in exchange for services. "It's a lot of work for one line on your resume," Blue said. "Loyola is known as having one of the best communications departments in the South. By not broadcasting, I feel the university is jipping the students," Johnny Calcagno, communications junior, said. Tours are conducted regularly by members of the Loyola Admissions Network with a stop on the fourth floor of the communications/music building to show the television studios, audio rooms and the radio station to all visiting the campus. "Loyola makes a big deal of showing off the radio station to prospective students and their parents. It is a shame Loyola University doesn't commit its resources better," Silvana Collins, LUNCH) — A child from Loyola's Whelan Center, which recently became a nationally accredited day-care center, grins reluctantly at his meal. See story, Pg. 2 / Photo by Amy Pelleglnl Dr. Mary Blue, Adviser to WLDC SGA deadlocked over constitution By Chris Bonura News Editor Some members of ihe Student Government Association are trying to revise the SGA constitution. However, the constitution that they are attempting to change prohibits them from making any amendments without getting the consent of the student body. "It was never brought to our attention that we had to bring the amendments before the students," SGA Assistant to the Vice President Casey Stowe, business junior, said. SGA Law President Jim Dugan, second-year law student, brought it to the attention of the SGA congress at Tuesday's meeting. Stowe, who also served as last year's chairman of constitutional review, said, "We had been piling up revisions to the constitution all [last] year. We were just going to try to pass them in a clump." According to Stowe, these revisions were supposed to be passed at the end of last year, but the congress never got around to it. The rest of the proposed revisions come from SGA Vice President John Hernandez, third-year law student. During the summer, Hernandez went through the constitution and looked for possible revisions. He looked for vague areas and tried to propose amendments that would clarify them. Some of these suggested revisons deal with: •creating new executive staff positions and revising old job descriptions •requiring SGA committies to meet at least once a month unless there are no issues under their jurisdiction to discuss •changing the absence policy so that four absences, excussed or unexcussed, are automatic grounds for dismissal •requiring the president to consult with the constitutional review committee and select someone who would have been eligible in the previous spring election when filling Congressperson-at-large vacencies. "On the day-to-day lives of students the impact is negligible," Dugan said. However, he believes that elections for amendments are neccessary to protect the students. "The constitution has been there since '70, but there is a new congress every year," Dugan said. "The constitution flows directly from the students themselves," he said. "If we call an election just for the amendments, we're probably not going to get people to vote," SGA President Erika Schwarz, first year law student, said. Schwarz suggested that a possible solution could be to announce the proposed amendments, and if no students request an election, none would be required. "I don't want to usurp student's rights," Hernandez said. "I just want to run Student Government in a more efficient way." "At some point you need to have a balance between the SGA's need to operate efficiently as far as their internal affairs and issues and the student body's need to vote on issues that will effect them as a whole," Tim Bamett, SGA faculty advisor said. "I think that at some point in the SGA constitution, students have to have a voice." Dugan sees things a little differently. "Streamlining government," he said, "is not what the constitution is about. The constitution is a foundation on which the SGA bases its principles."However, according to Schwarz, not all of the proposed amendments will have to go through the students because they deal with SGA's by-laws, which are separate from the constitution. Schwarz cited the proposed revision on absences as one that should really fall under the by-laws. At Tuesday's meeting the SGA voted to approve the rev ision concerning absences under the assumption that it would only effect the by-laws.

I support Affordable Housing in Affordable Communities, Greenwich for example is not an affordable…Read Morec ommunity nor is a place like Manhattan. Housing is about a place to live and if the wages are not paid to afford housing than someone should really talk to McDonalds/Walmart and Friends and start charging double or triple for everything so they can afford a normal life. Unless of course you are talking about serial benefit recipients whose job is filling out forms and managing income numbers, then perhaps you should talk to your representative in Hartford and ask them why if a person earns a few thousand dollars a year they lose their benefits. Hardly an incentive to work for anything especially an affordable house, in those cases they need Free houses. Once again Evil Satanic Progressive immoral liberalism at work. Look in the Mirror Alice you must be proud of your party's accomplishments.

Ask any snowshoer or Nordic skier at Bogus Basin what they like most about the Nordic trail system and the main answer is location. Its a mere 17 miles from the valley floor to the groomed trails, which makes it a quick, fun-filled snow outing close to home.
But if you probe a little deeper, you find the trail system provides a variety of terrain, from beginner ski and snowshoe routes to hardcore skating lanes that rise 1,000 feet in elevation.
For Rebecka Seward of Boise, the trails provide a good workout.
Im a downhiller, and I grew up at Bogus Basin, she said.
But she also likes to take a break from the chairlifts and slopes and skate ski on the Nordic trails.
For Dave Benjamin of Meridian, its a chance to strap on the backcountry skis and trek to Shafer Butte Campground or Mores Mountain.
I like going to the campground and skiing the top of the ski area, he said.
Its more than 3 miles from Frontier Lodge to Mores Mountain and theres a lot of backcountry terrain in between.
For Steve Oliphant of Eagle, the Bogus trails are a good way to keep his 4-year-old daughter happy.
While another daughter takes downhill ski lessons around the corner, Oliphant gets a workout by towing his daughter behind him on the skating lanes.
Elsewhere on the trails, beginners are getting the feel of skate or classic-stride Nordic skiing.
The number of lessons and other programs are as varied as the trail system.
We try to touch on something for everyone, from kids to adults, said Peg Havlovick, director of the Nordic Center.
The centers learn-to-Nordic-ski Passport Program introduces a lot of beginners to the sport until they come back as regulars each ski season, said Havlovick.
The lessons and programs at the Nordic Center are reflective of the community aspect of what Bogus Basin wants to be, said Havlovick.
You dont even have to ski to participate in programs at the Nordic Center.
Bogus Basins Snow School, which is based at the Frontier Point Lodge, provides a science-based field trip and introduction to the mountain through snowshoeing.
Often, its the first time the student has ever seen the snow-covered mountains at Bogus Basin, and it introduces them to winter sports.
Afterward, the Nordic Center makes it easy for them to continue snowshoeing, or get involved in Nordic skiing. The center has what is needed, from rentals to lessons to flat trails such as the Nordic Highway.
The mountain also offers a variety of kids, racing and fitness programs throughout the season.
Then theres the solar-lighted trails for a quick outing after work on Tuesday through Thursday nights until 8:30 p.m.
The lighted areas on the flat, beginner Nordic Highway and around the lodge make it easy for beginners to take lessons.
The Frontier Point Lodge also is a fun place to hang out. The second floor of the lodge offers incredible views of the surrounding mountains and trails.
Theres comfortable seating for relaxing and eating lunch. The gas fireplace is cozy, too.
Most skiers and snowshoers pack their own lunch. Some vending machine snacks and drinks are available at the lodge.
With Bogus Nordic trails so close, and with additional lighting for night skiing and snowshoeing, theres no reason not to hit the trails.

Published: 2/18/2013 9:40 PM | Last update: 2/19/2013 12:06 PM A tough pathSeason puts state-bound Salthawks on familiar groundOn Saturday night, when Hutchinson was finally done hosting and competing in its Kansas Class 6A wrestling regional, coach Mike Garcia was pleased with the group of wrestlers that qualified for the state tournament.Pleased with one caveat.
It's safe to say that at Monday's practice, the quintet - seniors Dominique Hoover and Marc Saffle and juniors Darryon Cushinberry, Jared Page and Lex Plummer - had their minds right about the task at hand. "Wrestle as hard as you can, beat as many people as you can," Page said. "Really, honestly - just like regionals, with the tournaments that we've gone to - it's just another meet. We're just going there to wrestle hard, wrestle to win, wrestle for the love of the game." Competing with that kind of controlled fury has brought them this far and may be what they need to move on in the winner's bracket at Friday's 6A tournament in Park City. Cushinberry, Hoover and Page all finished fourth at the regional tourney, so they have to face champions from other regionals. Saffle, the only Hutch wrestler to win after the semifinals, took third and is pitted against Junction City's Aaron Ralfalko, who won a silver at his home regional. Plummer, the silver medalist on Saturday, will wrestle the bronze medalist from Junction City's regional, Wichita East's Teryn Brown. But numbers mean little to this bunch. Though they've each lost at least 10 matches and none have reached the 30-win plateau, Hutch's wrestlers are proud of the experience they've gained at high-profile meets. "We could go to all the smaller tournaments and all have real good records, and we'd be going to state and it'd be this massive pace change and all kinds of craziness," Page said, "but instead we go to like Colby and (Newton's) Tournament of Champions and all of that. It's just another meet for us." The numbers that do matter are measurable. Page, wrestling in the 160-pound division, is the lightest of the Salthawks' state qualifiers. Cushinberry weighs between 165 and 170 pounds but has wrestled in the 182-pound class this season. Then there's Hoover (170), Plummer (220) and Saffle (285). This group is in stark contrast to the Salthawks' placers at state last year. Ja'Mon Cotton was the heaviest of the 2012 group, competing in the 160-pound division, but this group is all at 160 or north of that mark. The similarities between the five still standing for Hutch should help them prepare. With comparable builds, they are used to practicing with each other and, since this is a veteran group, know how to handle themselves on the big stage. "We're all kind of used to similar frame structure," Plummer said. "We've had experience before. We're all juniors and seniors going to state." And this particular group has been wrestling with poise all year. Take Cushinberry, for example. He entered the season trying to trim down to the 152-pound class after football. Instead, with his weight hovering in the 160s, he filled in at the 182 slot because of injuries to his teammates and has become a fixture. "Every time I'm out on the mat, I try to give it my best or to the best of my ability during that match," said Cushinberry, who has been trying to add weight while competing against bigger opponents. "At the beginning of this season, when we wrestled Derby at home - I'm still underweight but I was lighter then - I wrestled a kid I didn't know if he was good or not, and I just went out there and ended up winning." Then there's Saffle, who embodies the grinder mentality of this unit. He started the year wearing a facemask after being struck above his eye by an errant golf ball. The heavyweight senior still wears a shoulder brace to protect a joint repaired through labrum surgery last year and normally dons a knee brace and ankle braces. During a match Saturday, he hyper-extended his left elbow which was stabilized with a tape cast, adding more protection to his outfit. Yet he bounced back for a pair of wins - both via pins - to join his teammates as a state competitor. "You have to think what you have to get done is more important than how you feel during the match or how you feel afterwards," Saffle said Saturday. When Garcia and his five remaining wrestlers head to Park City's Hartman Arena on Friday, they'll happily take their bumps and bruises and adversity with them. They're used to the challenge. Their schedule has dictated it. When they step onto the arena mat, they feel their battle-tested path is the best preparation they could've asked for. And having their minds right at the start is half the battle. "It's just another match. The seeds don't matter," Hoover said. "We have a lot of confidence in what we're going to do. It doesn't matter if you place first, second, third or fourth (at regionals). We're still going to go in there like we're going to win the tournament." Hutch's first-round state matchupsWeight class (record) 160 - Jared Page (26-19) vs. Austin Chauncey (34-7), Manhattan 170 - Dominique Hoover (24-20) vs. Alan Clothier (37-3), Lawrence 182 - Darryon Cushinberry (13-19) vs. Emilio Folwer (34-6), Gardner-Edgerton 220 - Lex Plummer (26-10) vs. Teryn Brown (20-13), Wichita East 285 - Marc Saffle (26-11) vs. Aaron Rafalko (22-10), Junction City

The Boy Who Played With Fusion
Taylor Wilson always dreamed of creating a star. Now he's become one
"Propulsion," the nine-year-old says as he leads his dad through the gates of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. "I just want to see the propulsion stuff."
A young woman guides their group toward a full-scale replica of the massive Saturn V rocket that brought America to the moon. As they duck under the exhaust nozzles, Kenneth Wilson glances at his awestruck boy and feels his burden beginning to lighten. For a few minutes, at least, someone else will feed his son's boundless appetite for knowledge.
Then Taylor raises his hand, not with a question but an answer. He knows what makes this thing, the biggest rocket ever launched, go up.
And he wants—no, he obviously needs—to tell everyone about it, about how speed relates to exhaust velocity and dynamic mass, about payload ratios, about the pros and cons of liquid versus solid fuel. The tour guide takes a step back, yielding the floor to this slender kid with a deep-Arkansas drawl, pouring out a torrent of Ph.D.-level concepts as if there might not be enough seconds in the day to blurt it all out. The other adults take a step back too, perhaps jolted off balance by the incongruities of age and audacity, intelligence and exuberance.
As the guide runs off to fetch the center's director—You gotta see this kid!—Kenneth feels the weight coming down on him again. What he doesn't understand just yet is that he will come to look back on these days as the uncomplicated ones, when his scary-smart son was into simple things, like rocket science.
This is before Taylor would transform the family's garage into a mysterious, glow-in-the-dark cache of rocks and metals and liquids with unimaginable powers. Before he would conceive, in a series of unlikely epiphanies, new ways to use neutrons to confront some of the biggest challenges of our time: cancer and nuclear terrorism. Before he would build a reactor that could hurl atoms together in a 500-million-degree plasma core—becoming, at 14, the youngest individual on Earth to achieve nuclear fusion.
When I meet Taylor Wilson, he is 16 and busy—far too busy, he says, to pursue a driver's license. And so he rides shotgun as his father zigzags the family's Land Rover up a steep trail in the Virginia Mountains north of Reno, Nevada, where they've come to prospect for uranium.
From the backseat, I can see Taylor's gull-like profile, his forehead plunging from under his sandy blond bangs and continuing, in an almost unwavering line, along his prominent nose. His thinness gives him a wraithlike appearance, but when he's lit up about something (as he is most waking moments), he does not seem frail. He has spent the past hour—the past few days, really—talking, analyzing, and breathlessly evangelizing about nuclear energy. We've gone back to the big bang and forward to mutually assured destruction and nuclear winter. In between are fission and fusion, Einstein and Oppenheimer, Chernobyl and Fukushima, matter and antimatter.
"Where does it come from?" Kenneth and his wife, Tiffany, have asked themselves many times. Kenneth is a Coca-Cola bottler, a skier, an ex-football player. Tiffany is a yoga instructor. "Neither of us knows a dang thing about science," Kenneth says.
" Looking up, the neighbors watched as a small mushroom cloud rose, unsettlingly, over the Wilsons' yard."Almost from the beginning, it was clear that the older of the Wilsons' two sons would be a difficult child to keep on the ground. It started with his first, and most pedestrian, interest: construction. As a toddler in Texarkana, the family's hometown, Taylor wanted nothing to do with toys. He played with real traffic cones, real barricades. At age four, he donned a fluorescent orange vest and hard hat and stood in front of the house, directing traffic. For his fifth birthday, he said, he wanted a crane. But when his parents brought him to a toy store, the boy saw it as an act of provocation. "No," he yelled, stomping his foot. "I want a real one."
This is about the time any other father might have put his own foot down. But Kenneth called a friend who owns a construction company, and on Taylor's birthday a six-ton crane pulled up to the party. The kids sat on the operator's lap and took turns at the controls, guiding the boom as it swung above the rooftops on Northern Hills Drive.
To the assembled parents, dressed in hard hats, the Wilsons' parenting style must have appeared curiously indulgent. In a few years, as Taylor began to get into some supremely dangerous stuff, it would seem perilously laissez-faire. But their approach to child rearing is, in fact, uncommonly intentional. "We want to help our children figure out who they are," Kenneth says, "and then do everything we can to help them nurture that."
At 10, Taylor hung a periodic table of the elements in his room. Within a week he memorized all the atomic numbers, masses and melting points. At the family's Thanksgiving gathering, the boy appeared wearing a monogrammed lab coat and armed with a handful of medical lancets. He announced that he'd be drawing blood from everyone, for "comparative genetic experiments" in the laboratory he had set up in his maternal grandmother's garage. Each member of the extended family duly offered a finger to be pricked.
The next summer, Taylor invited everyone out to the backyard, where he dramatically held up a pill bottle packed with a mixture of sugar and stump remover (potassium nitrate) that he'd discovered in the garage. He set the bottle down and, with a showman's flourish, ignited the fuse that poked out of the top. What happened next was not the firecracker's bang
everyone expected, but a thunderous blast that brought panicked neighbors running from their houses. Looking up, they watched as a small mushroom cloud rose, unsettlingly, over the Wilsons' yard.
For his 11th birthday, Taylor's grandmother took him to Books-A-Million, where he picked out The Radioactive Boy Scout, by Ken Silverstein. The book told the disquieting tale of David Hahn, a Michigan teenager who, in the mid-1990s, attempted to build a breeder reactor in a backyard shed. Taylor was so excited by the book that he read much of it aloud: the boy raiding smoke detectors for radioactive americium . . . the cobbled-together reactor . . . the Superfund team in hazmat suits hauling away the family's contaminated belongings. Kenneth and Tiffany heard Hahn's story as a cautionary tale. But Taylor, who had recently taken a particular interest in the bottom two rows of the periodic table—the highly radioactive elements—read it as a challenge. "Know what?" he said. "The things that kid was trying to do, I'm pretty sure I can actually do them."

Yes, very smart indeed, and a very interesting read. But I'm not sure that it fits my personal definition of good parenting. For all we know, it was dumb luck that the kid didn't blow himself and his family up at age 10, after which he never would have gone on to do anything meaningful. At that kind of young age, most kids have a hard time distinguishing between what CAN be done and what SHOULD be done. All the power with little control. All the knowledge with little experience to transform it into wisdom.
Don't get me wrong, I love it when kids are really smart. And I am really happy that he has loving and supportive parents. But if the kid had unintentionally blown up the neighborhood or irradiated an area, or hurt/killed someone, then I think we'd all be singing a different tune: "Where was the parental supervision? They shouldn't let him do that kind of dangerous stuff without proper guidance. Etc."
We seem to be drawing our conclusions about the quality of the upbringing by the current result (a smart kid who hasn't killed anyone in his wild experiments). Shouldn't we draw our conclusions based on the methods instead of the result? The results could have very easily been (and still could be, in the future) different.
With great power comes great responsibility.
I would say marcoreid, that while your concerns about parenting are okay on the surface (with most kids) -- in this case I'm sure Taylor explained very clearly (to his parent's satisfaction) that what he was doing was safe. He certainly wasn't planning to jeopardize his own life, let alone others. Plus, the father brought in an expert to validate the safety measures.
So sounds to me like the parenting was perfect, and put encouragement on the top of their parenting duties.
The world is (and will be) a better place for it. Thanks in advance Taylor, we'll be watching you for decades to come.
the only way forward is nuclear spaceships. imagine enough power to operate a 500 year mission, even a thousand year mission. still this kid can figure out the future of propulsion but he hasnt solved space survival. We loose muscle and bone mass, embryos develop weirdly. gotta get some sort of gravity on those ships. Concetrate on that and then propulsion
This child is an example of why the United States must develop the greatest information infrastructure in the world immediately. We cannot afford to waste any more time worrying about financial limitations. Untold wealth and progress that dwarf our current economic woes is at hand. We must seize the future now. The greatest teachers in the world should be accessible to all Americans via the finest internet in the world. There are probably many more undiscovered children with enormous potential in our midst right now. If we act boldly, boundless prosperity is our sure reward. We must set aside the fear of poverty that has taken over the consciousness of our nation. Leaders with vision and courage must come forward.
This kid is what the world needs. But, you don't need complicated fusion to detect radioactive materials onboard ships. Just need americium ((not telling where to find it) and Beryllium (not telling where and how to get it and it is extremely poisonous) also you need more things that I will not tell you about plus millions of dollars in tech money. Great article enjoyed reading it. It would be cool to be the 32nd person to generate fusion. Am I right about that. By the way, only fifteen.
I actually teared up reading this article. Its so similar to my life- except I was not allowed to follow those aspirations. I was banned from showing my project in 3rd grade at the science fair, and ever since then I was on my own. At the age of 6 my best friend in the world worked at Fermi labs, and we would discuss cold fusion while playing chess. My mothers basement was my lab, and it grew much like what is in this article. While this kid got help from astronauts etc etc, I was persecuted for chasing my dreams, being forced to stop.
When my dreams died, so did my grades. I found school to be boring and idiotic. Some of us, not all, do not belong in a normal scholastic program. My parents refused to let me skip grades even after my teachers and principals told them of my capabilities. 176 IQ at age 6, after proving the tests, I no longer could take official IQ tests because I have seen all the official psychiatric PhD authorized/approved questions. I no longer could take those tests, I have no idea how much higher it got.
Funny, that spelling and grammar were my only downfall, and till this day I have problems with both. But science and technology were never a problem. I passed Jr. High and High School through osmosis, never studying, heck, I slept in every class. When home I would conduct science experiments. My GPA in high school was 1.6, and I didn't care. I think its important you take this seriously, especially if you are a parent of a genius, or a teacher, etc etc. Once I got to college I had a 4.0, dropping to a 3.9 because my philosophy teacher didn't like my capitalistic views, and refused to conform to his socialistic/communistic views.
MOST of the trouble makers in school were extremely smart. Maybe as high as 8/10 of them. They may not show it, they may not look it, but they are. it was apparent that most people who were gifted, were gifted in ONE area - and may be completely ... well... idiotic in others. Idiot-Sevant, yeah, its real and a lot more common than mainstream society could possibly understand.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying its stupid to teach poetry, or Shakespeare, but for some people it is not a good match. Of course being well rounded is important - but our society is so focused on these "building blocks" of knowledge, that they are not equipped to work with genius. Some were geniuses in music, or writing. Some were geniuses in science, and technology, some were gifted at mechanical engineering. But getting bad grades in these "forced" classes could impact ones ability to get noticed. My 1.6 GPA in high school nearly didn't get me into college, but my 32 ACT and 176IQ saved me. If I was allowed to focus my learning earlier in life I would have been much better off, and so would many others. I have to admit I learned a lot while I was in high school, just not while I was in class. I learned more at home through auto-dictation, and I know I am not alone! This is very common. This kid is a perfect example of that.
Our school systems only help those who can be good at everything, but those who are gifted in one area should nurture that talent. But even when, on rare occasion people nurture their genius - where does all that talent go? All too often these people are paid large sums of money to work for financial institutions on Wall Street. They attract the most amount of talent because they offer the largest paychecks. Capitalism is the only model I want to live under, so that the more you work, the more you can earn... it promotes people to work harder and smarter. But when the best and brightest are busy making millionaires into billionaires, there is a "braid drain" as I call it.
We need our geniuses to work in fields of science and medicine, but more often than not, they do not. Just think how advanced our government would be if we had the best and brightest running our country for instance. Who runs for government then? professional politicians. And when they reach their office, lets say of president, who advises them? Its a popularity game, we are not picking the best and brightest. Think of it this way, have you ever been at the voting booth and wondered, how is it that out of 300 MILLION americans, how is it down to this group of people? And you can apply that rational to every management position. A CEO today is a shmoozer, a golf player, a playboy - a charismatic deal maker, but how much would companies benefit from a true leader running the "joint".
Forget about who the CEO is, who is on the board? Who is managing your department where YOU work? Usually its not the best candidate. Its human nature. And we keep repeating it over and over.
This kid is a great example. If we had people with his intelligence making strategic decisions rather than a career politician our entire nation, the world in fact, would be a better place.
In closing, I am sure some people would think I have a chip on my shoulder, mostly because I am horrible at writing. But I don't. I am hoping that people become just a little bit more aware of how genius is wasted in our country, and in fact, the whole world. Being born into leadership in a monarchy is a great example of an idiotic way of choosing leadership. As if good decision making is passed through DNA? Obviously not. Just imagine how history could have been different if the best and brightest ran the world, or the company you work at. Even if they have no social skills, have horrible penmanship, wear a pocket protector, or don't wear the latest fashion.
Well, since I wrote this over 6 hours in small 2 minute sessions while watching my 2 year old, and since I didn't even proof-read it, its probably all over the place... for a guy who is horrible at written communication I probably should just erase it, but NAH, I think I will just hit submit comment! LOL. Whatever, hope it made sense.
I read about this kid on another news site before. The kid is an absolute genius. WHen I saw the part about him not worring about a drivers license, I immediately though we have a real life Sheldon Cooper on our hands! I am going to raise my son to explore the world around him and never stop asking questions. I can't wait until he is older to start doing this with him. He's only 20 months old and is already learning how to do things on his own. He gets frusterated if he can't do it, but doesn't want others to do it for him. I myself am always trying to learn new things as well. I constantly try to imagine how things works. I just won't accept "they work because they simply do." I need to know how they work. I originally went to college for astronautical engineering. I knew I wanted to be one of the people to put others on Mars and knew I could do it. Unfortunately, even though the sciences come easy to me, math didn't. I knew it would be challenging but there were levels of math I didn't even know existed. I ended up changing to international politics. I now ask if I should have gone to my second choice school for earth and atmospheric science.
Science always asks "can we," but doesn't seem to ask "should we."
WOW! You hit the nail on the head! I went to see a psychologist and he had me take an IQ test when I was 11, because my Mom and my teacher thought I might have ADD. I scored a 125 and was was considered "bright", but I didn't have ADD. The psychologist had told my Mom that I wasn't interested in the course work at school, and of course he was right! I was to busy being the fat kid in class and being bullied tends to take a lot of time outta your scheduled "study" time. To make this long story a little shorter the psychologist had told my Mom to try and get me into advanced classes, but the school wouldn't hear of it, and we didn't have the money at the time to pursue a privately funded school. So basically I was SOL...
At what age do you stop blaming the world for your limitations and take responsibility for your own choices?
It is your ability to clearly reflect upon your life and identify its problems, the responsibility of change falls back to you.
It is time to grow up and go out into the world and do something, anything productive rather than arguing and rationalizing sitting on your ass and it's not your fault.
And why must a genius pursue science or mathematics? Why can't you just go out into the world and do something you enjoy, make enough money to take care of yourself and eventually a family. Science and mathematics is not the holy grail of life and the only direction for a genius. I read your words and I read an old guy feeling sorry for yourself and argue really well towards his own laziness.
Get off your butt and go into the world. One day you will be old and then die and all of life will pass you by.
Science sees no further than what it can sense.
Religion sees beyond the senses.
It's sad really how the school system holds kids back. When I was 3 I learned Multiplication and Division and was very fast at it. Even today I can do complex equations in my head. I have had many ideas and concepts in my life but have never been allowed to achieve as I was stuffed down and pushed to not excel, but to recede to the level of my fellow students. I have never believed in the school system for one reason. That reason is that they use one method to teach everyone, they destroy creativity and free thinking as it is easier to control someone who is thought for instead an independent thinker. I loved school at one time also. Then I got into kindergarten and my first day I asked when we would do these things and she said third grade and to wait until then to do that. I am in no way some super genius, but who knows. Now, I have no real inspiration to excel at anything until I am out of the school system because every time I have I have been pushed to digress and think within the box. How sad it is that kids are forced to go to a place that destroys spirits, inspiration, and thinking.

First, who reads an article this amazing and then proceeds to leave comments about how smart they are and how deprived and suffocated they are?
Second, I have two good friends who grew up on Wallace and 58th in Chicago and one friend from Bales ave and 30th in KC. Although all three grew up in some of the worst neighborhoods in the states they still managed to succeed. One attained his doctorate in astrophysics from UC Berkely, one just finished up his residency as a psychiatrist, and the other has his PE stamp for mechanical engineering. I promise you that all three had harder lives growing up than any of you did... since apparently you are 15 and have access to a computer. Please for the love of god quit placing blame and start taking responsibility. Saying you don't have an environment conducive to self exploration is extremely insulting for alot of people. Also, your lack of humility is nauseating.
The author writes:
Earlier in the week, we prospected for uranium in the desert and shopped for secondhand laboratory equipment in Los Alamos. The next day, we wandered through Bayo Canyon, where Manhattan Project engineers set off some of the largest dirty bombs in history in the course of perfecting Fat Man, which leveled Nagasaki.
Unless the author is using the term "dirty bomb" in its current less than nuclear detonation definition, he exaggerates. I do not think that the historical record demonstrates that the engineers of the Manhattan Project set off, from what I infer the author intended, too many "... of the largest dirty bombs in history in the course of perfecting Fat Man...."
He Reminds me of the title character of Orson Scott Card's science fiction novel "Ender's Game". I bet Taylor Wilson could come up with fusion that could provide energy to the entire planet forever. Who would control it? No one controls a star.

Art Chantry's Hands-On ApproachProtests take on a variety of forms, from petitions to sit-ins and sign-wielding on the streets. In 1983, over a million people assembled in New York City's Central Park for the largest anti-nuclear war protest to date. Beginning the same year, and continuing until 1989, protesters in Seattle showed their opposition to nuclear weapons in a less traditional manner—they hosted a dance-off.

The Power UndergroundWhen it was introduced to London in the 19th century, the first underground railway was revolutionary. Able to provide quick, uninterrupted travel for commuters and easy access to the bustling city from the suburbs, the London Underground promised a better, more efficient future. It would take some convincing, however, to get the general public to hop onboard. People were understandably skeptical of the new technological marvel—after all, the idea of loud, smoky locomotives navigating the dank, dark circuitry of London's underbelly wasn't particularly appetizing.

Exodus"Work? It's just serious play," Saul Bass remarked in a 1993 interview. Indeed, Saul Bass's marvelous career, which spanned from the 1930s until his death in 1996, is defined by his trademark wit, humor, and playfulness. Whether it was in movie posters, billboards, brand identities, or packaging design, Bass always injected his work with a delightful energy and intelligence, quite remarkable given the distilled simplicity of his work.

Brine plays it cool for cash
7:41pm Sunday 7th October 2012 in General Sport
TONY Brine was "pretty annoyed" at being forced to play the final match of the 2011/12 Chandler's Ford SC £3,500 Roll-Up on which £800 was riding.
Splitting the £150 prize pot would have secured Brine second spot, worth £700, and Paddy Robinson would have climbed to joint eighth, worth £100.
But organisers requested the pair play as the result affected other places.
Defeat would have knocked Brine, who plays for Hamble Club B, down to joint third and a loss of £250.
The two-hour final kicked off just before midnight. Robinson cross-doubled the pink to take the lead. But in the next, leading by 19 points on the colours, he conceded too many penalty points.
Brine won the decider with a long pink.
The result dropped Phil Budden down to third, John Thomas to fourth and promoted Steve Boterhoek into the top ten.
"I've played for a lot of money before but not quite that much," declared Brine.
"When I beat Phil (Budden) in the semi, which I was confident of doing, I was happy. "And then I realised I had to play Paddy. There was no choice in the matter. Giving him a big handicap (start) in front of all the other players watching, I knew it was going to be nervy and I knew I would have to play well."

February 22, 2013 Fantasy FreestyleThe Merits of Category DumpingEvery year, there's usually at least one fantasy player who poses a question along these lines: What totals should I be targeting in my fantasy league this year? Is there a sweet spot I should be trying to aim for in each category? Scott Wilderman of the stat service On Roto was kind enough to provide BP with a sampling of league totals from 2012. Below are the average totals for 42 American League, eight National League, and eight mixed 5x5 leagues. Table 1: American League only 12-team, 5x5 Category Finish Averages |

VA Benefits:
Fundamental Changes to VA's Disability Criteria Need Careful Consideration
GAO-03-1172T, Sep 23, 2003
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony discusses our past reviews of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability programs as Congress considers the fundamental issue of eligibility for benefits and the related issue of concurrent receipt of VA disability compensation and Department of Defense (DOD) retirement pay. Our work has addressed these issues in addition to identifying significant program design and management challenges hindering VA's ability to provide meaningful and timely support to disabled veterans and their families. It is especially fitting, with the continuing deployment of our military forces to armed conflict, that we reaffirm our commitment to those who serve our nation in its times of need. Therefore, effective and efficient management of VA's disability programs is of paramount importance. In January 2003, we designated VA's disability compensation programs, as well as other federal disability programs including Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income, as high-risk areas. We did this to draw attention to the need for broad-based transformation of these programs, which is critical to improving the government's performance and ensuring accountability within expected resource limits. In March 2003, we cautioned that the proposed modification of concurrent receipt provisions in the military retirement system would not only have significant implications for DOD's retirement costs but could also increase the demands placed on the VA claims processing system. This would come at a time when the system is still struggling to correct problems with quality assurance and timeliness. Moreover, we testified that it would be appropriate to consider the pursuit of more fundamental reform of the disability programs as the Congress and other policy makers consider concurrent receipt.
VA needs to modernize its disability programs. In particular, VA relies on outmoded medical and economic disability criteria in adjudicating claims for disability compensation. In addition, VA has long-standing problems providing veterans with accurate, consistent, and timely benefit decisions, although recent efforts have made important improvements in timeliness. However, complex program design features, including eligibility, have developed over many years, and solutions to the current problems will require thoughtful analysis to ensure that efficient, effective, and equitable solutions are crafted. Moreover, these solutions might need to take into account a broader perspective from other disability programs to ensure sound federal disability policies across government programs and to reduce the risks associated with the current programs.

From Halloween and TV football season to the "eat more, exercise less" season from Thanksgiving to New Year's, many extra pounds are lurking. It's best for your health to Start! now and not wait until January to get in shape.
How do I know if I'm overweight or obese?
Your body is composed of water, fat, protein, carbohydrates and various vitamins and minerals. If you have too much fat-especially around your waist-you're at higher risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
The best ways to estimate body fat are waist circumference measurement and body mass index (BMI). A high-risk waistline is more than 35 inches for women and more than 40 inches for men.
BMI assesses body weight relative to height. For example, 140 pounds for a 5-foot-7-inch woman is "normal." In studies by the National Center for Health Statistics, BMI values:
* Less than 18.5 are underweight.
* From 18.5 to 24.9 are normal.
* From 25.0 to 29.9 are considered overweight.
* Of 30.0 or greater are considered obese.
Why should I lose weight?
Losing even just a little weight can dramatically improve your health, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. It also may help prevent diabetes in people with prediabetes. You'll look better, feel better and have more energy.
How do I lose weight?
