Dr. Deidra Blackmon, a Grapevine veterinarian, was the designated driver Saturday for a night out with two girlfriends in the Fort Worth Stockyards, an associate said Monday.As they headed home about midnight, Blackmon pulled into a convenience store on Saginaw Boulevard and went inside, police reported.While she was gone, one of her friends threw up in the parking lot near Jeffery Hansana's car, police said.A few minutes later, and within a mile of the store, Hansana drove up to Blackmon's Lexus and fired three to five shots at the moving car, investigators reported.Blackmon's passengers heard the shots, and "believed Blackmon drove into a field as an evasive action -- that is, until the front-seat passenger saw blood on the victim," Saginaw police Chief Roger Macon said.Hansana, with his girlfriend in the car, drove away, police said. A passing motorist heard the women's screams and stopped to help.Blackmon, 33, had been shot in the head and was pronounced dead at 1:03 a.m. Sunday at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's website."A few words were exchanged in the parking lot between the women and a female" with Hansana, Macon said. "I don't believe [Hansana] said a word during that exchange."Investigators got a tip about the suspects after a surveillance photo of Hansana's girlfriend, taken at the store, was released to the media.Hansana, 24, of Haltom City, and Heather Rene Thompson, 22, of Euless, were arrested early Monday in Haltom City.Hansana faces a murder charge, and Thompson faces a charge of failure to report a felony, Macon said.Hansana was in the Saginaw Jail on Monday night with bail set at $250,000. Thompson was in jail on $10,000 bail.Dedicated vetBlackmon "was the designated driver that night, and she was there taking care of her friends" said Dr. Bruce Nixon, chief of staff at Animal Emergency Hospital of North Texas in Grapevine, where Blackmon was on staff.Blackmon usually worked Saturday nights but took the night off to celebrate the friend's upcoming wedding."Her world revolved around her veterinary life," Nixon said. "She was the one who would take care of other people's pets on nights, weekends and holidays."Blackmon grew up in Northeast Tarrant County, graduating from Haltom High School and then earning her doctor of veterinary medicine from Texas A&M University in 2010, according to Parkside Animal Hospital in Keller and the Grapevine facility.She was a veterinary technician at Parkside before getting her veterinary degree.She lived in Dish with three cats, three dogs and a horse.'At a loss' on reasonAt the convenience store, the security photos showed that a few seconds after Blackmon went inside, Thompson did, too."We don't believe they said anything to each other in the store," Macon said.Meanwhile, Blackmon's friend was sick, but very little vomit hit Hansana's car, police said. Thompson and Blackmon's friends exchanged words, Macon said.Hansana and Thompson drove away, and Blackmon and her friends left a few seconds later.Within a mile, in the 200 block of East Bailey Boswell Road in Saginaw, Hansana drove up to Blackmon's Lexus and fired, the chief said.Hours later, investigators tracked down Thompson and learned that she was staying with Hansana in Haltom City."As far as we know, they had never met," Macon said of Blackmon and Hansana.As of Monday afternoon, police had not recovered the gun used."There's nothing to suspect that [Hansana] was intoxicated at the time of the shooting, but we didn't see him until almost 24 hours after it happened," Macon said. "We are at a loss about what sparked all this."Domingo Ramirez Jr.,817-390-7763Twitter: @mingoramirezjr

Ottawa, Friday, October 14. – Today marked the official launch of the 2011 National Science and Technology Week (October 14th to 23rd). The launch was celebrated at the Canada Science and Technology Museum with the opening of a special exhibition marking the 75th anniversary of CBC/Radio Canada.
National Science and Technology Week is a celebration of the significance of Canada's science and technology heritage, the importance of science and technology in today's world, and Canada's ongoing role as a world leader in innovation. The week's activities involve over one hundred participating organizations, including government, industry, educators, and science outreach along with thousands of individual Canadians across the country. National Science and Technology Week creates diverse opportunities for Canadians to learn about the impact and importance of science in the world around them. One of its goals is to inspire youth to consider careers in science and technology.
"The Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation is proud to be the national coordinator of the 2011 National Science and Technology Week" said Denise Amyot, President and CEO of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation. "As keepers of Canada's scientific and technological collection, we encourage all Canadians to engage with their scientific and technological past, present and future."
Highlights of National Science and Technology Week 2011 include special activities and presentations each day at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, Natural Resources Canada's Science Funfest in Ottawa, interactive displays at Telus World of Science in Vancouver, an IT Day celebration at Science East in Fredericton, tours at the Canadian Light Source in Saskatoon, and the Praxis Family Science Olympics at Medicine Hat High School in Alberta.

Yugoslavia, 1972 (MIFF 1973)
Director: Aleksander Petrović
Aleksandar Petrovic's early films, One Day and Three, have been shown in the Melbourne Film Festival, and his I Also Knew Happy Gypsies enjoyed a commercial success in Australia. His latest film, based on Mikhail Bulgakov's novel, works on the level of fantasy, but the issues it deals with are familiar.
Just before it is due to be performed, Nicolai has his play, 'Pontius Pilate', banned by the theatrical bureaucracy in Moscow: both the unions and the critics condemn the play for its inflammatory ideas. For the Devil, in the guise of a magician named Woland, the play becomes a cause celebre and his revenge involves wreaking havoc upon those who have persecuted Nicolai. Meanwhile Nicolai has' fallen in love with the beautiful Margaret, but when he attempts to seek out the Devil, he is taken from her and imprisoned in an asylum. Woland manages to have the play staged, and, to celebrate the occasion, he shares some wine with Nicolai and Margaret. Yet all is not right ...
The film is set in the period following the Russian Revolution, and whilst ostensibly dealing with the contradictions between personal freedom and the people's rule in Russia of 1925, the story has a much wider implication.

The U.S. Energy Department recently warned natural gas customers could see a 15-percent in their bills this winter, nationwide, due to a rise in commodity prices.
However, locally, the Metropolitan Utilities District does not anticipate any significant increases for customers. Vice President of Gas Operations, Jim Knight, said there is currently plenty of natural gas in storage for local use. "Gas prices have been pretty much at record lows most of the year. Our October rates were 30-percent lower than our October rates for last year," he said.
"Even with the increase in rates we've seen over the last few weeks, our November gas rates will be about the same as they were last November."
Still, customers like Marilyn McGhee, who lives in Benson, can't help but worry as their furnaces kick in, when they're still catching up on electricity bills from a record hot summer. McGhee, who's not on a level payment plan with O.P.P.D., said she and her husband are still paying off an electricity bill in excess of $1,000.
"What I'm hoping is that we'll have a mild winter again this year," she said.
The Climate Prediction Center, so far, has the metro area at above normal temperatures through December. McGhee would be thrilled if they are correct.
Meantime, she's working to make sure any cracks around her windows or outer walls are sealed.
Knight also recommends checking that insulation is adequate before the weather gets colder and having furnaces inspected to ensure they are running as efficiently as possible. Checking furnace filters once a month to make sure there's no dust build-up, and replacing them if needed, also helps.

Cottage Grove operates a police department, fire department, and ambulance service under a public safety concept. This means the three distinct service divisions of police, fire, and emergency medical services are merged into one operational and management team; the end result being a team of people meeting and exceeding the goals and mission of the public safety organization. This type of organizational structure provides the public with seamless coordinated services from all divisions. Inherent in such a system is superior service delivery to the community.
Cottage Grove is also unique in that we provide emergency medical services (E.M.S. - Paramedic Ambulance Service), utilizing police officer paramedics and fire fighter paramedics in a joint service. Currently 2/3 of the patrol division are paramedics as are two of the firefighters. Our paid on call firefighters also work hand in hand with the paramedics providing the much needed Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) component of our total EMS service. Our commitment to quality patient care is the cornerstone of our EMS service delivery.

Man pays others' electric bills
Updated On: Dec 06 2012 03:56:43 PM EST
Georgia Power officials say a disabled veteran who was once homeless showed up at one of the utility's offices and paid the power bills of 15 to 20 people standing in line.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the man overheard a customer in the utility's Stockbridge office saying he couldn't afford his overdue bill earlier this week. Georgia Power officials say he walked over to the man and handed him about $230.
Georgia Power spokesman Brian Green said it was "a spontaneous thing" as the man handed cash to people waiting in line. Green said he paid one bill, then turned around and asked if anyone else needed their bill paid.
Green said the man handed out around $1,500.
The utility company did not reveal the man's identity.

Bladon Jets is pioneering the development of micro gas turbines – small, light and clean-burning jet engines which will provide a new generation of green and efficient power units.
Micro gas turbines are positioned to take over from traditional petrol and diesel reciprocating engines in a number of key applications, where their superior performance offers compelling advantages.
With its unique design expertise and manufacturing processes, Bladon Jets is leading the way in bringing this breakthrough solution to volume production for key growth markets worldwide.
The dramatic increase in the number of hybrid and all-electric vehicles under development has led to the search for the ideal range extender, a power unit which can charge the vehicle's batteries on the move and overcome 'range anxiety'.
The compact size and ultra-light weight of the Bladon Jets micro gas turbine make it the perfect on-board power source. Compared to the petrol or diesel piston engines which are used in current hybrid vehicles, the gas turbine also delivers cleaner combustion, much improved refinement, and requires no separate cooling or lubrication system.
The micro power generation market is already growing very rapidly, driven by the ever-increasing demand for electricity in developing countries and at remote locations, where there is no reliable power distribution infrastructure.
Generators driven by micro gas turbines provide an innovative new solution which delivers significant performance advantages. Compared to a traditional diesel generator, the gas turbine alternative offers a more compact size, reduced emissions, multi-fuel capability and very low maintenance requirements.

I doubt that these 40mm rounds contain what is usually thought of as an FAE (fuel-air explosive), & while there are several ways to thermobaric destruction (a flame-thrower counts) I expect these will have a high-explosive core that projects combustible gunk outwards. The gunk starts burning as it encounters the air & creates a fireball. The thermobaric (heat & pressure) blast is really good against soft, fleshy targets in confined spaces. First the burning stuff rushes past you, then is more gently pulled back inwards (Kadenesky effect, if memory serves), which tends to get fire into every nook & cranny. Nasty, or effective, depending on which side of the muzzle you're standing.
There simply isn't room in a 40mm round for all the clever fuzing required for an FAE.
Militsoapy titwank
Oh good, nothing like loads of sloppy love-ins for the death machines. So tell us again why the Reg thinks slavvering coverage of military hardware belongs on an IT site? And why there is no ethical considerations applied to these stories?
Lewis, you may get a hard-on from military stuff, but please do remember that it's used to KILL PEOPLE. Talking about it purely in terms of the military's euphemistic performance descriptions is shallow and craven.
I drive past a guy with a tin can at a traffic light every morning with one arm, and one leg. The other bits were blown off by a land mine.
Now piss off with your cheering parade for the arms industry, where companies build ever more horrific weapons to take on other manufacturers horrors justified in a cynical circularly referencing argument.
A round of applause to Dodge
I totally concur.
@ dodge
Hey, if some poor sod is going to get his limbs blown off, the least that we can do is make sure that it's done with shiny new technology - preferably something with lasers on it.
Beside, have you seen the videos of these things? They're amazing.
I suspect that Lewis was indulging in a bit of sarcasm.....
It seems that ...
the Australian Stock Exchange will prostitute themselves to any company. No sign of ETHICAL investment there, then.
nice one dodge, although i have to say that Lewis normally casts a highly critical eye on the deathware industry, and its there in this article, but then it does invite comments like the first. I say we need someone to keep an eye on the despicable fruits of these people's life effort, they are after all engineers like us at some level, just took a wrong turn somewhere and are now useless for any other work.
One way or another, the right and freedom that you exercise in flapping your lips and spouting your liberal claptrap was secured by people willing to fight (and sometime die) to secure those rights.
I don't know anyone that gets a "hard-on" from killing people but, if it ever comes down to it, I want the best and best-trained soldiers with the best weapons on my side.
--flack jacket, please.
HOT. No pun intended.
Video or it didn't happen.
A nice youtube of this with a few beers and a little lube, mmmm. That'd make for a pleasant evening.
RE: dodge
Well, the Metal Storm uses high-tech in their systems, especially as they are often considered for robot gun solutions, so they scrape in under the IT interest banner. Besides, us real geeks like stuff go bang-bang purrehty splodey. So please go stick your head in a hippie's armpit.
By the way, we had a drunk round the corner from where I grew up who'd lost his legs falling off a motorbike whilst p*ssed. He used to tell any mug who'd listen that he'd lost his legs in all manner of heroic ways - defusing an IRA bomb, parachuting into the Borneo jungle, stepping on a landmine....
Myself, I just don't see the three-shot as a seller as the old M203 is cheaper and lighter, and simpler revolver solutions (like the Mikor MGL-140 which the USMC has bought as the M-32) are already on the market. The revolver launchers have big advantages in that they can use any of the current 40mm ammo, they have a larger capacity, and they can change loads mid-patrol if required (how do I unload my thermobaric Metal Storm three-shot so I can have a volley of thermo then HE then frag?). Revolver launchers have the disadvantage that they mean a dedicated weapon which can mean one less rifle in the squad, though the Marines seem tough enough to carry one and a slung M-16A2 at the same time. Unlike the highly specialised Metal Storm ammo (or the 25mm ammo of the XM-25), the M-32 uses the same ammo as the M203s already in the squad, so ammo sharing is another benefit - how do I prise open my Metal Storm three-shot to give another GLer in the squad who's out of ammo a round to fire at the same time as me? Plus the M-32 is already tested and proven (and apparently much liked by the jarheads). Apart from the armchair-warrior appeal of the personal three-shot, I'd say that Metal Storm will have more luck with the bigger vehicle units.
deathware flops
C'mon, what's more fun than a deathware flop, that goes way over budget and then underperforms in the real world. Anyone who doesn't see the IT angle in *that* should stop masturbating and have a look around. The boys in olive drab have been intertwined with technology since the invention of Greek Fire, and intertwined with IT since the Royal Navy commissioned the construction of Babbage's analytical engine.
Personally, the only thing I love more than something that goes boom, is something that totally fails to go boom when you stand up and say, "Hay, watch this..."
Anonymous Coward, because we're talking about weapons.
Black Helicopters for the same reason.
@Dodge, @James
Surely you'd prefer people to be killed quickly rather than die slowly in the ground (or sit on the ground with a tin can) because of being merely badly injured? So developing newer, more powerful weapons is surely in the humanitarian interest if you realise that war's not going to stop.
@James specifically: Whose ethics would they base their decisions on? And how would a company be able to make lots of profits (on which they pay taxes and with which they pay their employees, contractors, etc) if they had to always be entirely in-line with everyone's ethics?
The world is an unpleasant and complicated place. There will always be aggressors, and hence defenders. So there will always be war and there will always be a need for an arms industry. And as they're leading us closer to wars where deaths are quick rather than painful and lingering (or overly violent, beating/stoning style deaths) they're entirely ethical.
I rest my case, and I get my coat. It's the heatproof, kevlar-lined NBC hoodie...
@dodge et al
Right - 'death machines'. We'll send you into battle with an eco-friendly stick then? Oh no, wait... that might involve cutting down or maiming a tree.
It's the world we live in and as much as I would like to see that aspect of it change it isn't going to.
Don't like the stories? Don't read them. Why did you read this one... do you sit and watch television programs on subjects you don't like or approve of and then complain about them? Oh, judging by your actions here, I suspect you do.
To paraphrase: Dodge, you may get a hard-on from disapproving, but please do remember that it's used to BORE PEOPLE.
Like it or not, the tech is often ingenious and interesting.
"death tech"
> Metal Storm has never made many sales and is taking a long time to bring a combat-ready product to market.
That implies its has made no sales at all. So calling it a "suicide tech" company might be more correct, cos it takes the VC, runs, and eventually declares itself bankrupt.
@dodge & TEQ
Although it is almost certain that someone who thought that this was an article extolling the virtues of the arm trade will be incapable of grasping the concepts below here goes.
Military hardware often brings about civilian technology, regardless of whether you agree with the market, being aware of what is going on in it is beneficial. In the case of Metal Storm, it is an interesting lesson in how to run a company that sells nothing for over ten years.
Louie, Louie, Louie...
Deathtech firm? Grenade-gasm? I see good ol' Louie Page is back to his old leftist tricks again. You keep putting down the military and the companies that work with them, good buddy, and they'll keep defending your right to do so.
Military hardware often brings about civilian technology
Yeah - good point, well made! The untold billions spent on the arms industry would never have been better spent in non-military research. The unbounded misery caused by wars and conflict are absolutely justified because we get to have Hummer H2s and longer-range Boeings.
I can absolutely see the harm-reward balance there.
Not Dodge
That wouldn't by chance be Dodge as in the car maker currently dragging Diamler into fiscal oblivion is it? Just wondering since both have such similar grasp on how the world works. Sorry, low hanging fruit (the joke not dodge) --- YES, I went there again! And this time I bought property!!
Anyhow, with all due disrespect for the the eco-terrorists, I really have to agree that metal storm is a solution that has yet to, and probably never will find a problem. It is heavy, complex, ghastly expensive, and most importantly, not reloadable in any practical time frame.
It may have suckered in some militaries during the cold war, when the order of the day would have been to shoot all 50,000 of your rounds before you're dead in 45 seconds. But it is a truly terrible fit for the protracted, man mobile, attrition based conflicts we face today.
Circular arguments
Sigh. I hoped I'd not have to spell out the blindingly obvious, but I guess not.
>One way or another, the right and freedom that you exercise in flapping your lips
>and spouting your liberal claptrap was secured by people willing to fight (and
>sometime die) to secure those rights.
People fight and struggle. Once they used to brain each other with giraffe femurs or stabbed them with some sharpened dung. But now technology allows them to maim and mutiliate not one, but THOUSANDS. Without even getting off their chair. That people fight and struggle is tautology. That the arms industry profits out of this, and escalates it by investing valuable resources into it is the fault ONLY of the arms industry and it's customers.
It's like saying "lawyers are needed, otherwise who'd protect us from the other lawyers"? Remember the bit about circular arguments? Your argument, AC@14:12, is circular and spurious. And I suspect you're one that never goes closer than Discovery Channel from actual armed conflict.
People fought and died stopping the Nazis -- because the Nazis had awesome weapons. No weapons, no problem. Or at least, less spent on developing super-duper weapons, less of a problem. And when you spend zillions building weapons, the temptation to use them is pretty damn strong. It's a solution looking for a problem. And most of the time, it finds one. Or makes one.
I love insane science and awesome tech prowess -- but let's not forget what military tech is being used to do. And that is maim and kill. Rather build awesome Priuses that look like Star Trek shuttles. Actually, dont. Sink it into F1 and better paragliding kit.
Redneck alert. Mr Hoshi, load nuclear weapons into tubes one to four!
"One way or another, the right and freedom that you exercise in flapping your lips and spouting your liberal claptrap was secured by people willing to fight (and sometime die) to secure those rights."
This is and stays a dumbass homilie that can only be consumed by folks with the intellectual capability of Dubya, or lower. Go away.
Ethics be damned sometimes.
Hey lets not lump everyone into one group. I'm a pinko lefty liberal who serves in the military and while deployed to a warzone, I can tell you the unofficial rule for a gunfight: 1. Bring a gun, preferrably two; a big one and smaller one as a backup. 2 Bring all your friends that have guns too. 3 Make sure your ish is better than the other guys.
I believe in no firearms back home (none at all) but I'd be a fool to think I don't want the biggest baddest, and lightweight incapacitating equipment available because if your trying to kill me and I catch up to you...you better believe that I'm going to F$#k you up!!!
Where's my frikkin' rocket-propelled chainsaw?
Or my knifewrench, for that matter? Tried and true technologies married together, rather than this hodgepodge of made-up guff, that's the weapontech of the future. At least until we get some decent phased plasma rifles, anyway.
@Terry: hate to break it to you, but Daimler (note the spelling) flogged the majority of the sack of bricks that is Chrysler off to venture capitalists a mere 8 months ago, although I'm having some difficulty understanding why you bring that topic up in the first place. Is it perhaps an example of American military ingenuity derived from incompetence, or, as it's better known, "friendly fire"?
How much bang are we talking about anyway?
One 40mm grenade = about half a cup of payload. Granted if you toss fuel rather than explosive you're upping the energy (no weight wasted on oxidizer) but you have to disperse it in air to get the bang.
Grenades are about creating havoc with shrapnel. These things seem to be about creating a lot of noise and pressure. Granted it'll ruin anybody's day, but no bunkers will be busted.
Oh get over it
Oh dear, end of a long day...
It would be nice to see all the bleeding-heart think-of-the-children BS artists live up to their ideals and refuse to participate in or use the products of the military death-tech industry... in other words - Get Off The Internet! That's right - remember Arpanet? Or as it would be known today - Darpanet? The (successful) effort to create a military network capable of surviving all out war? Now known as the Internet?
I used to be one of you - until I woke up one day and realised that all the pretty, heart-felt yapping had absolutely nothing to do with the real world. Nothing. The arms race has been the way of the world since some monkey threw the first rock. Get over it.
Can't we just live in peace? No, apparently not (see other comment section regarding the acceptability of assaulting someone over lost luggage for a nice example of crap behaviour on a micro-scale).
Be prepared.
And let's send our soldiers out there with the most deadly weapons we can invent.
Don't want to see or hear about it? Close your eyes, cover your ears, and dance around singing 'Give Peace a Chance' etc.
Oh wait a minute... for all practical purposes you're already doing that.

Agree from the humanitarian interest, however, from the military interest, less instantly lethal weapons are more effective. Some poor grunt with no legs screaming his last, but not just yet is a more effective result.
It demoralises the enemy, and takes out several more who look to get medical help to the fallen comrade.
Its the same mentality as cost accountancy
things that fly a little distance and go boom are so last century...
They need Proactive Electron Effectors for InterActive Engagement (go, Col. Parks, go!)
and the grunt on the ground would rather just make them dead as quick and finaly as possable...theres reason you are trained to be bloody carefull checking bodies...
RE: dodge
Actually, the Nazis are a great example of Metal Storm-like tech cr*p. They invested massive amounts of time and resources in technically impressive but strategicly worthless projects instead of concentrating on building reliable and useful weapons systems in large numbers. The much vaunted German jets killed more Luftwaffe pilots in crashes than Allied aircrews in combat. What the Allies did relatively well was decide which developments could lead to useable weapons. So it seems you know as little about history as you do about the modern world. Please stop your liberal hand-wringing and use them instead to read a few books, maybe formulate an opinion instead of being spoonfed others'.
@Dodge & co.
[People fight and struggle. Once they used to brain each other with giraffe femurs or stabbed them with some sharpened dung. But now technology allows them to maim and mutiliate not one, but THOUSANDS. Without even getting off their chair] by Dodge
I refer you to Xerxes, Hannibal, Ghengis Khan, many Caesers etc. You think killing thousands of people, sometimes whilst sat thousands of miles away in your palace/posh tent, is something new? History says otherwise. I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that it ain't original.
I wrote loads more but it's too much. Basically the society you live in is predicated on the threat of violence. Whether that be from baliffs when you fail to pay your mortgage, police when you beat an 80 year old woman to the floor, or soldiers when you invade a foreign country, violence is the last resort if you don't comply.
If you want to live in a world where it's not just you paying the bills, where kids aren't given carte blanche to kick ppl to death in the street, and invading countries and subjugating their populations is normal, you have to accept state sanctioned violence is going to occur because - as bad as it is - it isn't always the worst option.
If you disagree you should maybe speak with a few refugees from Darfur, or how about a couple of Jews that are 70+. Or maybe see what it's like to have a few police officers stood around saying "no, don't stamp on that guys head" whilst a dozen kids kick you to death (not that I wish any ill on you - I don't. Just pointing out that violence has its uses)
Unfortunately this crap system we have means we need people to carry out that violence - police officers, soliders etc. Would you sign up to be a police officer if all they gave you was a giraffe femur and a thick coat? Or would you want a secure radio to call for assistance, a tonfa (the black 't' shaped stick they beat ppl with - traditional Chinese weapon), kevlar etc? Pretty sure I would...
PS. This article was a finance article, so your "IT angle?" complaint should be about that rather than war porn.
To quote Plato
"The greatest Forge of Civilisation is War".
No matter how much you hate military death tech you have to admit Plato had a point.
The continuous wars between the European powers throughout the last 2 millenium meant that they became the power houses of the world. When the Spanish invaded South America they easily accounted for the Aztecs because of their military superiority. No one would claim that the Aztecs were more technologically advanced then the Spanish and the reason is that the continuous military development forced on the Spanish by the wars in Europe meant that they were forced to spend time and money developing new solutions to problems. All of which filters down to the common man. The Aztecs lived in peace and so had no drive to improve there technological standing.
On a separate topic, if you shut down ALL of the arms companies and their various subsidiaries around the world 50% of the world's populations would be unemployed. More than that in the states!
Accurate Clocks
...Accurate Clocks gave the Royal Navy a serious competitive edge in command, control and destroy stakes...
...but, now you all sit there with your Tags, casio and timex watches smuggly on your wrist!
...still ahrd to see how we would convert the metalstorm for a peacful purpose? That said, judicious use by Londonds Finest Boys in Blue (The police not Chelsea FC, that is) would certainly clear the streets of scum!
Ho Hum, rant ahead....
It's not the weapons that kill, it's the assholes that start the wars.
History is written by the victorious.
If Hitler had won, he would be a hero
Starlin, Gengis Kahn, Pol Pot, Sadam Hussian all seen as heros by their supporters, as evil dictators by the people they killed and oppressed.
Bush, Blair, heros who rid the world of an evil dicator or the people responible for more deaths than the dictator?
The IRA & PLO, freedom fighters or terrorists? Depends on your point of view.
Unfortunatly there are to many trigger happy murderers on both sides of a war and innocent civillians will die.
WW1, the Great War, 15,000,000 dead, what was so fucking great about it?
These are great weapons, so long as you not on the receving end.
To call people who oppose war tree huggers, is a very sad reflection on society. What is wrong with not wanting to kill people? At the same time I understand why we build the weapons to "defend" ourselves, but rememeber, they could easily be used against us.
The car bomb was invented by the Terrorists / Freedom fighters, funded by the US. A little known organisation called the IRA. Now it is being used to kill US soldiers. In the earlier days of the first gulf war, many of the weapons used to kill Allied troops, we actually supplied by Allied forces (remember we supported Iraq over Iran!)
Not doubt in a few years time, these same weapons will be killing our guys....
So why am I so anti weapons? Well having a friend injured by an IRA bomb, and myself walking past one that failed to go off, kind of makes you have a different perspective.
But hey ho, it was the Uk's superior firepower that won that battle...Oh hold on, no it was a bunch of tree hugging civillians, who deicided enough was enough and sat down and talked it through
Matt Bryant
"I just don't see the three-shot as a seller as the old M203 is cheaper and lighter, and simpler revolver solutions ...are already on the market. The revolver launchers have big advantages in that they can use any of the current 40mm ammo, they have a larger capacity, and they can change loads mid-patrol if required (how do I unload my thermobaric Metal Storm three-shot so I can have a volley of thermo then HE then frag?)"
Having looked at the video clips you *can* change your loadout, at least a bit. The third round can be changed easily, but I'm not so sure about the other two, they look pretty much ramrodded up the chamber.
As to interchangeability of ammo, it depends what the standard is... if there's a transition to Metalstorm-type rounds for all GLs it'll mean grunts will be able to scavenge from area-denial and other systems as well as from each other. Such a changeover would make the rotating drum magazines potentially more powerful too, with multiple rounds per chamber.
While it's usual for the Grenadier to carry a rifle as well, how many 203s are there per squad, currently; this tech would multiply that by 3 and *might* conceivably provide enough rounds-loaded to mean the squad doesn't need the dedicated 'splody-bullet equipment (though they'll still want it, just for extra).
'Course that's a lot of "but"s :)
"But hey ho, it was the Uk's superior firepower that won that battle...Oh hold on, no it was a bunch of tree hugging civillians, who deicided enough was enough and sat down and talked it through"
Well, no. The IRA was thoroughly infiltrated and it became apparent that attempts at aggression were being effectively countered by not so gentle men with nasty weapons, not to mention the quiet assassinations etc.
Effective talks were not possible until the aggressive ability of one side was neutralised by the other - by less than gentle means.
"To call people who oppose war tree huggers, is a very sad reflection on society."
Actually it's a reflection of the often human-hating, often unrealistic, and frequently violent behaviour of the 'tree huggers' themselves. They managed to turn their own 'movement' into an insult.
"It's not the weapons that kill, it's the assholes that start the wars."
Agreed. And until the world is free of assholes we had better keep working on our ability to defend ourselves.
RE: ImaGnuber
"....And until the world is free of assholes....." You may want to back up on that statement or we're all going to get backed up! America, f*ck yeah!
Now, to really upset dodge, shall we have a little discussion on the effectiveness of cluster bombs versus good old snake 'n' nape on "militants" using civilian buildings as cover?
Dodge might be feeling like he's been cluster-bombed but he did provoke some interesting comments.
The black helicopter because, well, I like helicopters.

Field modification and labeling
Field modification
UL Listed product modified in the field
An authorized use of the UL Mark is the manufacturer's declaration that the product was originally manufactured in accordance with the applicable requirements when it was shipped from the factory. When a UL-Listed product is modified after it leaves the factory, UL is unable to determine if the product continues to comply with the safety requirements used to certify the product without investigating the modified product. UL can neither indicate that such modifications nullify the UL Mark, nor that the product continues to meet UL's safety requirements, unless the field modifications have been specifically investigated by UL. It is the responsibility of the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) to determine the acceptability of the modification, or if the modifications are significant enough to require one of UL's Field Engineering Services members to evaluate the modified product. UL can assist the AHJ in making this determination.
If a party wishes UL to determine if the modifications made to a UL Listed product comply with UL requirements, the appropriate Field Engineering Service can be initiated to investigate the modifications. This investigation will only be conducted after UL consults with the AHJ to determine that UL's investigation addresses all areas of concern and meets all of the AHJ's needs. Please contact Regulatory Services to inquire about a Field Investigation.
Field labeling
Application of a UL Mark in the field
The application of a UL Mark in the field is only permitted when an inspection is conducted in accordance with one of UL's Field Engineering Services in the presence of a UL representative.

Bobby Jindal has become the new Governor of Louisiana. In order to understand why is this important to anyone outside of Louisiana, consider the following points, in combination :
1) Bobby Jindal is only 36 years old, and has become one of the youngest ever Governors in US history. Prior to this, he has served in the US House of Representatives, was a Rhodes Scholar, and was employed at McKinsey & Company. His success in so many different areas reflects deep intelligence and competence, rather than just a fluke.
2) As Governor of a medium-sized state, he has gained an Executive Branch position, and thus has already accomplished more towards creating a Presidential resume than Barack Obama, 10 years his senior, has. Barack Obama has just 4 years of Senate experience and no executive experience. Note that no US President has been elected without Executive (either Governor or VP) experience in the last 11 elections since John F. Kennedy in 1960.
3) That he could win so handily on a GOP ticket in Louisiana shows that whatever perceived disadvantages he may have had for being a Catholic, or for being non-white, were not barriers. In other words, if he can win there, he can win over a majority of America.
4) As by far the most prominent Indian-American in US politics, he has exclusivity in garnering political support from what is the highest-income ethnic group in the US. This elevates the visibility of a dark-skinned group that has a higher average income than whites, and thus reduces self-limiting perceptions of imagined 'racism' that many minorities still hold. This also grants the GOP a pathway to conduct a campaign to attract high-income, fiscally and socially conservative minorities, which the GOP presently does a shockingly poor job of.
5) India is one of the most pro-US countries in the world, and is also a rare country that is more supportive of Republican politicians than America itself is (very few people know this). Indo-US ties are the most rapidly widening economic and political ties between any two large countries in the world today, and with the Indian economy set to grow at 8-11% a year for the next 13 years, Indo-US trade will amount to as much as $400 Billion by 2020 (from $32 Billion in 2006, and just $5 Billion in 1990). Bobby Jindal is already a household name in India, and thus is superbly positioned to maximize this imminent wave of Indo-US geopolitical alignment and economic integration.
6) I repeat, he is only 36 years old. How much had any of the big name politicians of our era accomplished at that age? He has 20 years to go before he is even 56, and thus has ample time to lay the groundwork for multiple shots at the Presidency or Vice Presidency.
However, there is still along way to go, and the path is strewn with many traps and pitfalls. In order to advance to the highest echelon, Bobby Jindal has to work on the following three things :
1) Oversee the reconstruction and recovery of New Orleans into a city that is better than it ever was before. This is a monumental challenge, but success here will immediately receive nationwide applause. This is the accomplishment that he could ride to the Presidency.
2) Honing his speaking skills. While a competent speaker, he is not as electrifying at the big occasion as Barack Obama is, and this does matter immensely. This is a learnable skill, however, that almost anyone can gain through diligent practice.
3) Stay as scandal-free as possible over a very long period. One scandal can derail higher political ambitions permanently.
When Bobby Jindal rises to national prominence as a Presidential candidate at some point between 2016 and 2036, remember what you read here on The Futurist in October of 2007, and observe how a unique convergence of multiple megatrends elevated an unlikely man to the greatest heights of political power.

Structure–property relationships in hybrid dental nanocomposite resins containing monofunctional and multifunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes

Abstract: Organic-inorganic hybrid materials, such as polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), have the potential to improve the mechanical properties of the methacrylate-based composites and resins used in dentistry. In this article, nanocomposites of methacryl isobutyl POSS (MI-POSS [bears only one methacrylate functional group]) and methacryl POSS (MA-POSS [bears eight methacrylate functional groups]) were investigated to determine the effect of structures on the properties of dental resin. The structures of the POSS-containing networks were determined by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Monofunctional POSS showed a strong tendency toward aggregation and crystallization, while multifunctional POSS showed higher miscibility with the dimethacrylate monomer. The mechanical properties and wear resistance decreased with increasing amounts of MI-POSS, indicating that the MI-POSS agglomerates act as the mechanical weak point in the dental resins. The addition of small amounts of MA-POSS improved the mechanical and shrinkage properties. However, samples with a higher MA-POSS concentration showed lower flexural strength and flexural modulus, indicating that there is a limited range in which the reinforcement properties of MA-POSS can operate. This concentration dependence is attributed to phase separation at higher concentrations of POSS, which affects the structural integrity, and thus, the mechanical and shrinkage properties of the dental resin. Our results show that resin with 3% MA-POSS is a potential candidate for resin-based dental materials.
Keywords: POSS, methacrylate monomer, dental resin, hybrid material, nanocomposite

Comics A.M. | Square Enix halts 'Hi Score Girl' amid copyright claims
Legal | The Japanese magazine Monthly Big Gangan has put the series Hi Score Girl on hold following allegations by the game company SNK Playmore that the manga is using its characters without authorization. The publisher, Square Enix, already recalled the five volumes of the series published so far and stopped releasing the manga digitally. [Anime News Network]
Creators | Gail Simone and Ethan Van Sciver talk about bringing Wonder Woman to Gotham City in their two-part story for DC Comics' new digital first anthology Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman. [Hero Complex]
Creators | Sonny Liew, creator of Malinky Robot and the artist of The Shadow Hero (written by Gene Luen Yang) was born in Malaysia, went to school in Singapore, then went to college in the United Kingdom and art school in the United States on his way to becoming a comics creator. There wasn't much of a homegrown comics scene when Liew was growing up, so he read mostly imports, but that's changing, and his newest project is an anthology featuring creators from the region. [The Malay Mail]
Comics A.M. | In San Diego, 'comics had a great convention'
Conventions | Image Comics content manager David Brothers explains why this year's Comic-Con International was a great convention, pointing out that there's a lot more to the event than movies and television, and there's a lot more to comics than the Big Two: "Marvel and DC are comics, just like the other publishers, and they make some great ones when they let the creators do their own thing. But at this point? You can't treat them like the entirety of the comics industry, or even two companies that can dictate the future of comics. They run the movies, and that's cool, but running comics? It's just not true any more. Image in particular outsells Marvel in the book market as far as trade paperbacks go, and that holds true in the comics market lately, too. That's no coincidence. People enjoy Marvel and DC, but they want more than Marvel and DC." [io9.com]
Comics A.M. | 'Asterix' family feud continues with Uderzo lawsuit
Legal | Asterix co-creator Albert Uderzo has filed a legal complaint against his daughter Sylvie and her husband Bernard Choisy, claiming "psychological violence." The dispute began in 2007, when Sylvie and Bernard were dismissed from their positions at Les Éditions Albert René, which published Asterix; a year later, Uderzo sold his stake in the company to Hachette Livre. The two filed their own legal challenge in 2011, claiming Uderzo, who is now 86, was being exploited by others. In this week's filing, Uderzo says he is perfectly capable of managing his own affairs, and adds, "The sole purpose of these acts is to undermine our psychological integrity and to hasten our debility, in order to get their hands on our legacy, which they covet." [The Guardian]
Comics A.M. | Rare Brazilian comics stolen in armed robbery
Crime | Three armed men invaded the home of comics collector Antonio Jose da Silva in Sao Paolo, Brazil, and held him and two employees at gunpoint while they stole more than 7,000 comics from his collection of about 200,000. The robbers seemed to know exactly what they were looking for, as they went straight for the most valuable books. Their haul included more than 200 first editions of O Lobinho and O Gibi, which reprinted translations of American comics in the 1930s and 1940s. The value of the thieves haul is estimated at $150,000, and the loss will be borne by da Silva, who was unable to get insurance for his collection. [The Comics Reporter]
Comics | Dana Jennings looks at the renewed interest in EC Comics, once reviled in the popular press as mind-destroying trash that would lead youths astray, now revered by the comics cognoscenti as subversive graphic literature. Locke & Key writer Joe Hill and EC Archives editor Russ Cochran weigh in, as does Fantagraphics President Gary Groth, editor of that company's EC Library, who says, "They were arguably the best commercial comics company in the history of the medium, and their list of artists and writers between 1950 and 1955 represents a Who's Who of the most accomplished craftsmen working in comics at that time."

Creators | Garry Trudeau is extending his hiatus from the daily Doonesbury strip until November, although new Sunday strips will begin running this weekend. "I have hit the wall," Trudeau explained in a letter to newspapers that carry Doonesbury, saying that the demands of writing and producing Amazon Studios' Alpha House are keeping him from returning to the daily strip on schedule.

Archie's Nancy Silberkleit running for mayor of Rye, New York
Nancy Silberkleit, the colorful co-CEO of Archie Comics, has entered the race for mayor of Rye, New York, a city of about 16,000 in Westchester County. News of her candidacy follows a report that she has filed a sexual-harassment against her longtime friend Sam Levitin, who served as her liaison following her bizarre yearlong legal feud with the publisher and Co-CEO Jon Goldwater.
A 22-year resident of Rye, Silberkleit is running as an independent against city councilmen Joe Sack and Peter Jovanovich after securing 1,000 signatures to be placed on the ballot for the November election; just 377 were required.
Silberkleit, who has no political experience, was an art teacher in New Jersey before the death in 2008 of her husband Michael Silberkleit, son of Archie co-founder Louis Silberkleit. She and Goldwater were the subjects of flattering media profiles when they assumed the roles of co-CEOs in 2009 (Goldwater's half-brother Richard Goldwater had passed away in 2007), but it was what happened afterward that drew the most attention.
Comics A.M. | Archie's Silberkleit files sexual harassment suit
Legal | Archie Comics Co-CEO Nancy Silberkleit is in court again, this time claiming sexual harassment by former friend Sam Levitin, who was her liaison to Archie after her legal feud with the company and C0-CEO Jon Goldwater was settled last year. Levitin has responded that Silberkleit "lacks functional communication skills and has an unstable temperament" and has a "venomous and destructive effect" at the company. Levitin asked the court in December to remove Silberkleit as a trustee of the company, and she responded in April with the allegation of sexual harassment against both Levitin and Archie Comics. An outside firm hired by Archie determined that her claims were "unfounded," and the publisher is not a party in the latest lawsuit. [New York Daily News]

Publishing | Along with the usual statistics — dollar and unit share, sales rankings, etc. — Diamond Comics Distributors this month began reporting the number of new titles shipped by the top publishers: DC Comics, which edged out Marvel in terms of market share in July, had only a handful more, with 121 comics and graphic novels versus Marvel's 118.

Comics sales | The direct market continued its rise last month, with comics and graphic novel sales up 22.59 percent compared to March 2012, according to Diamond Comic Distributors. Marvel routed DC Comic in this month's sales, claiming 40 percent of the market to DC's 27 percent. [ICv2]
Conventions | The fire marshal had to turn away hundreds of people Sunday from the DoubleTree Hotel in Tampa, Florida, where the two-day Tampa Bay Comic Con was being held. An estimated crowd of 4,000 were crammed into the lobby and the ballroom (which is designed to hold a maximum of 1,200 people), with many hoping to see The Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan. Organizers conceded they need a larger venue for the twice-yearly event. [Tampa Bay Times]
Comics A.M. | JMS on 'Ten Grand' and the return of Joe's Comics
Publishing | J. Michael Straczynski discusses the revival of Joe's Comics, which returns in May with the Image Comics release of Ten Grand, illustrated by Ben Templesmith.

Jon Goldwater discusses 2012 and what lies ahead for Archie Comics
Archie Comics is old and new at the same time, still churning out comics featuring the Riverdale gang we all grew up with but mixing it up in interesting ways — with graphic novel compilations, the addition of the gay character Kevin Keller, and the dual-storyline Life With Archie magazine that ages the cast up into their 20s.
The end of the year seemed like a good opportunity to check in with Co-CEO Jon Goldwater about 2012 and the company's initiatives for 2013. While Archie kept a pretty high profile in 2012, with a new Kevin Keller comic, the Archie Meets KISS miniseries, and the return of the Red Circle superheroes (in print as well as digital form), there was also quite a bit going on behind the scenes, both positive — Goldwater says they really figured out how to market their products in the current climate — and negative — a legal feud between Goldwater and Co-CEO Nancy Silberkleit that bubbled out into the public eye last year but was settled in June.
Goldwater covers a lot of bases in the interview; one interesting nugget is that the monthly comics most people would think are the flagship Archie product are not a significant source of revenue for the company, although they are important both as a marketing tool and as the place where new stories run first. It's also interesting to see how Goldwater regards the company's deal with MAC Cosmetics as the first step toward global marketing of Archie products.
Robot 6: What's new at Archie?
Jon Goldwatwer: We got a lot of great stuff coming up in 2013. 2012 was fantastic. I feel like every year we take these tremendous steps forward, from putting out Life With Archie and figuring out how to make that work — we have gained traction on that — to things like Archie Meets KISS, things like Kevin Keller, groundbreaking day-and-date digital. We look at 2013 being one of these big groundbreaking years
The first thing we have coming out is a partnership with MAC Cosmetics called Archie's Girls. It launches February 2013, and it's going to be a global launch. It's going to be in every MAC store, not just in freestanding stores but in department stores as well. Wherever you want to go, you are going to have Archie right there. It's truly our most important licensing deal in the last 30 years.
Comics A.M. | This weekend, it's Long Beach, Tucson & Rhode Island comic cons
Conventions | Creators like Neal Adams, Tim Bradstreet, Howard Chaykin, Amanda Conner and Scott Lobdell will headline the Long Beach Comic & Horror Con, held Saturday and Sunday at the Long Beach Convention Center. "I think most of our artists are thrilled to come back each year," said Phil Lawrence, principal sales director for the event. "This is the earliest we sold out our Artists Alley and we have almost 190 tables. By focusing on the artists and giving them their due, they seem to keep coming back and signing up earlier — and they promote the show, which helps us out, too." [Gazettes.com]
Conventions | Tucson Comic-Con may be small, but it puts comics — not other entertainment — front and center. [Arizona Daily Star]
Conventions | Also up this week: Rhode Island Comic Con, which doesn't eschew the other media but boasts RISD alumnus Walt Simonson as the headline guest. [The Providence Phoenix]
Comics A.M. | Blade of the Immortal manga to end after 19 years
Manga | Hiroaki Samura will bring his long-running samurai revenge epic Blade of the Immortal to a close in the February issue of Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine (on stands Dec. 25) after 19 years. The series is published in the United States by Dark Horse; the 25th volume was released in North America in August. [Anime News Network]
Political cartoons | NPR talks to several editorial cartoonists about the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo's decision to run cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed. The general sense seems to be that while the magazine had the right to do so, it wasn't a good idea given the turmoil already caused by the YouTube trailer for Innocence of Muslims. Politico cartoonist Matt Wuerker said, "Over the last few years, people have gotten the idea that cartoons are radioactive because they have the power to inspire riots. That doesn't help cartooning in a certain sense." And Daryl Cagle observes that the long-term effect is to make editors more timid. [NPR]
Archie Comics executives settle bitter, bizarre legal battle
The yearlong legal feud for control of Archie Comics has ended with a settlement that restores embattled Co-CEO Nancy Silberkleit to her position at the company. However, the confidential agreement was criticized by the granddaughters of Archie co-founder John L. Goldwater, who claim that both executives' "hands are dirty."
The Associated Press reports that Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Shirley Werner Kornreich approved the deal Wednesday, bringing to a close the bitter, and frequently outlandish, dispute between Silberkleit and Co-CEO Jon Goldwater that became public in July 2011, when Archie accused Silberkleit of bullying and sexually harassing employees and sued to bar her from the company's Mamaroneck, New York, headquarters.
Silberkleit, who stepped into the role of co-CEO in 2009, following the death of her husband Michael Silberkleit (son of Archie Comics co-founder Louis Silberkleit), countered that Jon Goldwater is a chauvinist who was mounting a smear campaign to drive her out of the company, and sought $100 million in damages for defamation. The fight escalated in January when Goldwater, son of John L. Goldwater, sued to have Silberkleit removed as a director and CEO, claiming, "Unless Silberkleit is removed as a director and an officer, the company — an iconic American company — is in serious danger of failing and being liquidated." That was quickly followed by a temporary restraining order prohibiting Silberkleit from "harassing, yelling at or abusing" anyone at Archie's headquarters or having any contact with staff and vendors regarding matters other than those required by her employment contract.

SPARKS, Md. -- Spice maker McCormick & Co. says it's considering moving its world headquarters from Sparks, where it employs several hundred people.
Spokeswoman Lori Robinson tells WBAL-AM (http://bit.ly/1rFuftX ) Wednesday that the company is in the preliminary stages of considering a possible move from northern Baltimore County.
She says McCormick aims to consolidate four offices at one location. Robinson says the company is looking at several possibilities, including downtown Baltimore and Pennsylvania. She says the spice, seasoning and condiment maker also might stay in Sparks, but at a different location.
