When you turn on the tap or twist the cap, you might not give a second thought to where your drinking water comes from. But how it gets from the ground to your glass is far more complex than you might think. Is it safe to drink tap water? Should you feel guilty buying bottled water? Is your water vulnerable to terrorist attacks? With springs running dry and reservoirs emptying, where is your water going to come from in the future?
In Drinking Water, Duke professor James Salzman shows how drinking water highlights the most pressing issues of our time - from globalization and social justice to terrorism and climate change - and how humans have been wrestling with these problems for centuries.
Bloody conflicts over control of water sources stretch as far back as the Bible yet are featured in front page headlines even today. Only 50 years ago, selling bottled water sounded as ludicrous as selling bottled air. Salzman weaves all of these issues together to show just how complex a simple glass of water can be.

"Hard not to be affected by this book"
We all depend on water. Without water we die. Unclean water kills about 3.4 million people per year and is among the leading causes of death in humans today. This book accomplishes the rather impressive feat of giving the reader a broad introduction to various issues associated with drinking water. In one book he manages to cover the history and myths associated with water, justice and economic issues (who gets to drink and can you charge for water), safety and health issues, terrorist issues, and last but not least, how you can help bring water to those who do not have it today.
This tendency to associate powers with water is as strong as ever in our modern society, which is partly why it is extremely profitable for companies to sell bottled water. These companies rarely shy away from shouting out grandiose claims about the properties of their water. The fact is that, with some exceptions, tap water is as good or better than bottled water which may come from contaminated springs.
In chapter 2 and chapter 7 Salzman discusses the often forgotten but extremely important issue of whether water should be considered to be an essential human right or whether it should be considered a commodity, or perhaps rather a little bit of both. Humans who don't get water die is one very good argument for why water should be a human right. However, should we say therefore that it is not ok to sell water. It is after all not free to transport water from those who have it in excess to those who have too little. If people are allowed to earn money on water they might even work hard to build systems that allow them to transfer their commodity to their potential customers. Salzman, even if he may not say so explicitly seem to argue that a combination of these two approaches is best. The romans developed a very efficient system for delivering water to all their people, but that would not have been possible was it not for the money they earned by selling privileges (e.g. water directly into your house), to the rich. There are few things that motivate people and businesses as much as money and often the best products are achieved if people are allowed to earn money when they do deliver.
Another thing that become evident when reading this book is that there is really no such thing as clean water, only water that is clean enough. Water taste different depending on where it originates from. Almost all water, including tap water in western nations, also contain certain small concentrations of poisons such as arsenic and lead. As if that was not enough there are many kinds of bacteria that also live in our water sources. To eradicate every kind of contaminant completely from the water we drink would be excruciatingly expensive, and it would really not be worthwhile given that the human body is generally quite good at handling small amounts of contaminants (this why I am rarely convinced by alarm report saying potential carcinogen found in x - it is often (not always) negligible amounts). I guess the lesson that should be learned is that our tap water is clean (again there are exceptions), but that does not mean that it is devoid of any microbes
Apart from being a good book, it also made me realize the importance of providing clean water to those who do not have it. The benefits go very far, because not only does unclean water kill people and make them sick, it also uses up people's time when they have to walk, sometimes several miles to get water (dirty water). Often girls in Africa have to quit school at an early age in order to spend their days fetching water. Indeed in Africa alone people spend 40 billion hours per year, fetching water. It is indeed hard not be affected by this book
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"A must read book"
Water is going to be our next major crisis in this world. We are already facing drought in many areas of the world which will bring famine and disease. This book covers the history of water then goes into the political and social problems that are beginning on a world wide basis. He discusses the current debate as to whether assess to water is a human right or is water just a another business commodity. Humans can not live with out water nor can plants or other animal so who should control it? This book will leave you with lots to think about on a global basis but also on a personal basis. After reading this book will it make you stop and think about your personal use and abuse of water? What can you do to make the best use of water and water conservation. Should you put rainwater collection and cisterns on your house? This is a must read book for everyone on this plant. We in the USA and Canada are very lucky with the abundance of water but it is not going to last unless we do something and what of the people without water, these are important question that Salzman asks. Lee Hahn did a good job narrating this book.
"Think about it!"
This is somethings we don't think about, a very interesting story. Think about your water.
Do you read the book before you dislike my reviews?
"Equal to Air"
"Drinking Water" is one of the best informational books that I've read. It's very straight to the point and also very well structure. It's very much like the other book "The Big Thirst", but more to the point. In someways, James Salzman's book is better because it's all that you need to know on this precious resource that is equal to air.
"Glass half-full, glass half empty"
Well-balanced. Good history of water over the ages. Takes on some of the controversies. fun to hear the 8 glasses per day debunked as well as the only drink straight water debunked :-)
Book Worm
"Interesting science but too much economics"
I like a lot of pop-science books and have listened to many of them. This had some interesting scientific facts, but it also had way too much economic information that was beyond my easy-listening understanding. To me, it listened more like college textbook I would have to read carefully and look up terms. Not an enjoyable listen.

Recall would strengthen the link between an MP and their constituents, which is at the heart of our representative democracy. Real recall would mean MPs who are involved in serious misconduct, fail to represent their constituents (think Nadine Dorries or George Galloway ditching the Commons for reality TV), switch parties without triggering a by-election or break electoral promises could face recall if enough of their constituents demand it.
These retiring MPs will be inspired by the likes of Ruth Kelly and James Purnell before them. All stepped down while still relatively young, having recognised that political comebacks here are few and far between. But what the likes of Kelly and Purnell have also shown is there is life away from the public eye, the media spotlight and well beyond the ruthless world of politics.
The public, media and political response to the revelation that Lord Freud, in a fringe meeting at Conservative Party conference, suggested that some people with disabilities are not "worth" the minimum wage and perhaps should instead work for as little as £2 an hour, has been fascinating.
It is significant that the Labour leadership backs the motion in Parliament on Monday. Hopefully many Conservative politicians will join them so that the motion is passed with the handsome majority that such a mild measure requires. If the British Parliament votes in favour it would be highly important symbolically, a strong expression of Parliamentary support for recognition...
I think being a locally focused MP is almost like cabinet career suicide. Off the top of my head I can't think of anyone in the cabinet now or in the shadow cabinet whom are there purely to represent their local constituents.
To save lives and protect human rights, the genocidal fundamentalists of ISIS must be stopped. But not by the West and not for the reasons often advanced by David Cameron and Barack Obama... The truth is that if the US and UK are serious about fighting ISIS they should start by aiding the people on the ground who know the region best, have local roots and who are already leading the fight against the jihadist menace - the peshmerga army of the Kurdish regional government in Iraq and guerrillas from the Kurdistan Workers Party and allied movements in Syria.
So how do we stop these ancient divisions opening up and tearing apart a nation? Well for starters, the English need enfranchising with politicians to represent them directly. Many options are on the table to achieve this.
The 'Read On. Get On' campaign has an historic goal - to eliminate illiteracy. It may surprise some that in this country with its literary heritage, its leading universities, its Nobel laureates, its history and its world-class economy, that illiteracy should remain untamed and intractable. Yet one in five 11-year-olds are still leaving primary school struggling with the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic.
If the UK is to be a world-leading economy, it needs to be matched with world-class infrastructure... Future economic growth depends on a significant increase in airport capacity in order to encourage international trade and inward investment, attract tourists and increase employment.
When people steal from the state through benefit fraud (usually out of desperation), there's public outcry. But when the state steals from the people by failing to provide even a basic standard of living, whilst corruption and tax evasion runs unchecked, we're told it's all part of a necessary strategy for economic recovery.
Should Boris win a safe seat, should the Tories win the next election and should Boris be gifted a Cabinet position - the first is the least dangerous of these three assumptions - will Boris commit, even for reasons of his own, to his Cabinet chums and will they commit to him? Boris has work to do. His recent cajoling of Cameron to take a harder-line stance on future negotiations with the EU can legitimately be viewed as the voice of a critical friend. Cameron can take it. However, covert criticism of Osborne, one of the more obvious contenders to succeed Cameron, will endear him neither to the Chancellor nor to others in Cameron's circle of less secure consiglieri.
The new century has seen two great reforms of organizational life in the UK, in the form of new Acts of Parliament that review and consolidate all the relevant existing legislation. The first was the Companies Act 2006, which followed a lengthy Company Law Review. The second was the Charities Act 2011.
MPs' offices and the Parliamentary estate are funded by public money. It is only right that their spending is properly scrutinised. It is vital however that this scrutiny is properly informed. The media have a duty to report MPs' and Parliamentary spending responsibility. MPs' and the Parliamentary estate have a duty of care to their employees.
It's not just the infinitely fairer and more logical policies of the Greens (such as renationalising the trains, a living wage, and tackling climate change) that resonate, but their whole way of doing politics... the Greens have a possible solution to the depressing downward spiral that is Learned Helplessness.
They've both been labelled as exciting, fast-paced and dangerous but is not often that wrestling and politics collide. Comparing cross-fists with cross-words, Conservative MP Lee Scott met TNA's Robbie E during a recent tour of the UK House of Parliament.
The dynamic speed and scale of the unfolding crisis in Iraq have left many opinion-formers and policy-makers keen to catch up with events. British friends of Kurdistan have also been quick to rally to the cause.

September 6, 2012
Former Florida Republican Governor Charlie Crist is in Charlotte tonight preparing to address the Democratic National Convention. Crist became an independent in 2012 after it appeared he could not win a GOP Primary for the US Senate. Now with talk that he could run for Governor again as a Democrat, but the GOP is turning up the heat on Crist.
As a young State Senator, Charlie Crist was tasked with embarrassing the sitting Democratic Governor. The GOP elected Crist statewide three times to Education Commissioner, Attorney General and finally Governor.
But the now infamous bipartisan hug in Fort Myers lit a fire under the strengthening Tea Party, Crist was poisoned. Now a speculation he is setting his sights on a Governor's Mansion again this time as a Democrat. The state GOP is firing back with a TV spot in which Crist is heard to say, "I'm a Jeb Bush Republican. President Bush he is a leader of courage and conviction".
We asked party spokesperson Kristen McDonald if the party was afraid of Crist or just paying him back for deserting them. "It's neither really. As I said it just that we are trying to remind Floridians and the people of America who Charlie Crist really is" she told us.
When Charlie Crist was a Republican, the party kept track of everything he said, wrote, TV, radio so they gotten an archive we are sure to see more of.
"I'm quite happy in the private sector" is what Crist told the national audience. He also said he isn't likely to run as a Democrat, but he did leave the door open. Political Scientist Carol Weissert believes the GOP has more fear than anger when it comes to Charlie Crist. "I think they're worried. I mean that would be how I would read it. Why would you spend money that you need to spend on a campaign against somebody who hasn't even announced" says Weissert.
Crist would have to start making moves to run as a Democrat shortly after the first of the year, and with three other possible contenders, his success would be uncertain.
The former Governor contends he did not leave the Republican Party, but that it left him when it was taken over by the far right.

The first reaction to a story like this is get wrapped 'round the axle of HBO's hypocrisy, so let's get that out of the way: Of course no Republican who had behaved in the same manner as "sex columnist" Dan Savage would get <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i7bf40443797a... shot at an HBO show. But there's really no hypocrisy when you realize that Bill Maher's network is waging ideological war. Through that prism of clarity, the network's desire to do business with and thrust Mr. Savage further into the American cultural/political landscape is perfectly consistent.

For those of you unfamiliar with Savage, here's an excerpt from a Salon piece he wrote in 2000 titled "Stalking Gary Bauer." The set-up was simple, Savage volunteered at Republican Gary Bauer's presidential campaign headquarters and decided, &... it's terrorism Bauer wants, then it's terrorism Bauer is going get[.]":

Naked, feverish and higher than a kite on codeine aspirin, I called the Bauer campaign and volunteered. My plan? Get close enough to Bauer to give him the flu, which, if I am successful, will lay him flat just before the New Hampshire primary. …

I went from doorknob to doorknob. They were filthy, no doubt, but there wasn't time to find a rag to spit on. My immune system wasn't all it should be — I was in the grip of the worst flu I had ever had — but I was on a mission. If for some reason I didn't manage to get a pen from my mouth to Gary's hands, I wanted to seed his office with germs, get as many of his people sick as I could, and hopefully one of them would infect the candidate.

So, much as it pains me to confirm a hateful stereotype of gay men — we will put anything in our mouths — I started licking doorknobs. The front door, office doors, even a bathroom door. When that was done, I started in on the staplers, phones and computer keyboards. Then I stood in the kitchen and licked the rims of all the clean coffee cups drying in the rack.

Acting out his burning hostility in such an inappropriate manner wasn't a one shot deal, either. As recently as 2006, Savage declared <a href="http://lamp.dailypennsylvanian.com/blogs/index.php?page=post&section... a videotaped interview that Green Party candidate Carl Romanelli should:

"…be dragged behind a pickup truck until there's nothing left but the rope."

Not only does the aptly named Savage take political discourse well beyond the pale, his noxious and dangerous behavior (what if Savage had given a vulnerable child or elderly person the flu?) appears to be what he's most famous for — unless you count his syndicated sex column "Savage Love," where Savage's infamous attacks on Senator Rick Santorum and Pastor Rick Warren are too grotesque to detail here.

For those of you still not convinced, here's <a href="http://radioequalizer.blogspot.com/2007/10/dan-savage-interview-gay-poli... 2007 transcript from a radio interview Savage did where he joked about "hate-f__king" Pastor Fred Phelps:

INTERVIEWER: You're stuck in a desert island with Dennis Hastert, Rush Limbaugh and Fred Phelps. You'll be freed if you f–k one of them. Who are you going to do and why are they the best choice?

SAVAGE: Good God. Must I answer this question? I guess… uh… Fred Phelps, because he's the most revolting of the three –way out in front of Hastert, and edging Limbaugh by a hair.

Why Fred? Well, I figure I might have an easier time working up a hate-f–k boner for Phelps than the other two. Plus he's the skinniest and I likes 'em skinny. But, man, just thinking about it makes me worry that I'll never get a boner again. Out, out, damn mental image!

Savage's beyond-the-pale political high-jinks have largely flown under the radar thanks to the indifference of the same mainstream media currently obsessing over average American citizens speaking up in town hall meetings. Thankfully for Savage, an openly gay Leftist, he's the member of a protected class, which means he'll never be held accountable for his behavior — on the contrary. True to form, HBO appears ready to reward him with a spot on their influential network.

VA rule would consider 5 disabilities connected to brain injury
Parkinson's disease, seizures, dementia, depression and hormone deficiency would count as service-connected disabilities under a rule the Veterans Affairs Department proposed Dec. 10 for veterans who have also suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Veterans can receive benefits for service-connected injuries and diseases, and by law, if a condition is established as secondary to a service-connected disability, it counts as part of the original condition.
Parkinson's and unprovoked seizures would count if they follow moderate or severe traumatic brain injury. After moderate or severe TBI, dementia manifest within 15 years, depression within 3 years, or certain hormone deficiencies within 12 months would also count as service-connected.
In the case of mild TBI, depression manifest within 12 months would also qualify.
VA classifies TBI as mild, moderate or severe based on a variety of factors, but not all the criteria for a certain level have to be met for VA to consider the injury to be at the level. The factors are structural imaging of the brain, loss of consciousness, altered mental state, amnesia, and how the injury rates on the Glasgow Coma Scale.
Those symptoms must be evaluated at the time of injury or shortly thereafter.
The proposed rule wouldn't preclude a decision that a condition is service-connected even it doesn't meet the qualifying severity levels or time limits, though. VA would still be able to decide that individuals' conditions are service connected.
Disability benefits for veterans are paid monthly and tax-free, and those with dependents can receive an additional allowance.
The comment period for the proposed rule lasts until March 8, 2013.

Library Breaks Away From County Associaion
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Public Library Board of Trustees has decided not to participate in the county wide library association, which means the city public library will forfeit more than $24,000 that is contributed by the county as appropriated by the Plymouth County Board of Supervisors. The library board made that decision during a monthly meeting held Monday evening. Scott Langel, the Le Mars City Administrator explains why the library board took the action.
Listen to
Langel says the county's portion of contribution to the local library did not meet today's needs with many electronic devices and services.
Listen to
The city administrator says rural residents living outside the Le Mars city limits wanting to use the Le Mars public library would be requested to pay an additional fee for all library services, not just electronic devices such as the computer, e-books, and access to the internet. The contract in which the five community public libraries, Le Mars, Remsen, Kingsley, Merrill, and Akron was operating under, had been the same without many revisions since the 1970's.
Listen to
Langel says the city library board decided to take matters into their own hands. He says the county's share of contribution made up of only five percent of the library's total budget.

The next race will be a real test of whether Mclaren have started to address the problems they started with. I f the car needed substantial modifying then it is unlikely they will have had time to do too much, if not and the problems have been addressed by developing what they have then hopefully they will be on the pace. Button needs a top three finish if he is to enter the race for the championship because I doubt that the other contenders are suddenly going to be uncompetitive and he simply cannot rely on others suffering from problems. I hope he has a great race and a win would be a great bonus.

In the contemporary NBA, there are few designations more useless than that between a power forward and a center. If you were to list out the responsibilities of either, it would be difficult to pinpoint exactly where one ends and another begins. Are power forwards expected to have range? Are centers required to have their backs to the basket? Are power forwards exempt from shot blocking responsibilities? Should centers remain anchored to the paint? Do power forwards have to guard opposing power forwards? Do centers have to be the tallest player in a lineup?
These are questions which certainly have answers but no conclusions. They give hints, but no finality.
And in the middle of everything is Tim Duncan.
Duncan is the best player of the decade and among the best…something of all time. Is he a power forward, with his ability to bank home a mid-range J, operate out of the high post, and run the pick-and-roll to perfection? Or is he a center, a 6'11" shot-blocker, defensive anchor, and dominating low post presence?
Well, that depends on who you ask, and, more precisely, when you ask.
When Duncan came into the league, he was most certainly a power forward. Convention dictates that we have these five positions on the floor, and there is little dispute that David Robinson was a center. Doesn't that, by definition, make Duncan a power forward? Far less has deemed Dwyane Wade a shooting guard or LeBron James a small forward, and yet we hold those positional designations to be self-evident. What exactly does LeBron do that is in the vein of a small forward? And why isn't Wade, who leads his team in assists, assists per 36 minutes, and assist percentage, deemed his team's point guard? Again, questions without satisfying answers, but the easiest way to determine those players' positions is to relate them to their teammates on the floor. Wade is a shooting guard because he plays alongside a point guard. LeBron is a small forward because he plays with two guards and two bigs. And Tim Duncan came into the league as a power forward because he played with David Robinson.
But then, a funny thing happened. Robinson retired, and Duncan was left as the lone dominating big in San Antonio. He had all the elbow room he could ever want, and his position became ever blurry as he was paired with Rasho Nesterovic, Robert Horry, Nazr Mohammed, Matt Bonner, Francisco Elson, and Kurt Thomas in the frontcourt. Meanwhile, a pair of versatile bigs named Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Garnett were busy changing the power forward position forever. Now power forwards could shoot from anywhere on the floor, drive to the basket from the perimeter, and play any role in the offense that their skill set dictated. Maybe they would play from the outside in, like Dirk did initially. Or maybe they would turn the post-up game into a beautiful array of turnaround jumpers, like Garnett did. Or maybe they would simply use superior speed and athleticism to beat everyone to the rim, as Amare would go on to do.
The possibilities exploded, and what was once an incredibly limiting position was among the most liberating. Garnett and Nowitzki put a lot of work into erasing the rulebook, and though Tim Duncan shared a lot of their versatility, he's often considered more conformer than reformer. In the shuffle of the power forward renaissance, Duncan was deemed unfit to be revolutionary. Nevermind the fact that he came into the league as a power forward and shares much in common with the power forwards of his era. He anchored a defense, and that was something a power forward simply could not do. He was too good in the low post, which was something almost antithetical of the positional metamorphosis. And his game was too old world, despite the fact that the new kingdom was built using the very same foundation.
In today's game, positions have become even more muddled. Josh Smith, Boris Diaw, Pau Gasol, Marcus Camby, and Rashard Lewis all share the designation of power forward, which in itself should signify how little that "PF" next to a player's name really means.
Yet, because all of those players are power forwards, Tim Duncan cannot be. It's simply impossible. It apparently no longer matters what space he occupies in Gregg Popovich's sets, or what position he thinks he plays. It was just decided that Matt Bonner can't be a center, and thus, Tim Duncan can't be a power forward.
Then DeJuan Blair happened. Blair is 6'7", but you would never call him slight. He's an absolute bull, and what he lacks in height he more than makes up for with girth and brute strength. His game is derived from old school sensibilities; he charges from the low post to the basket, and he scores. Nothing too flashy, but he uses his strength to his advantage to score in the most conventional way a center knows how. He doesn't have much a jump shot, and he's likely slower on the perimeter than Duncan. But ask many an NBA fan, both casual and hardcore, who the center of the San Antonio Spurs is, and they'll tell you it's Duncan in a heartbeat.
I'm not saying that Duncan is a power forward, and I'm sure as hell not saying he's a center. What I am saying is that with players as unique as Duncan, positional designations cease to have meaning. Maybe if the game had remained static since 1997, we could all sleep soundly at night knowing in our heart of hearts that Duncan is, and will always be, a power forward. But players are constantly evolving, and the beauty of the NBA is that it evolves along with them. All of the principles are the same, but the game done changed. It doesn't matter so much who does what (unless you're the cursed combo guard) as long as everything that needs to get done gets done. There are roles and responsibilities on the basketball court the go beyond position, and that's become more and more evident with every bit of the sport's growth. The most important development over the last decade of basketball was not Shaq's dominance, LeBron's ascendence, or Kobe's redemption, but the recognition that square pegs need not be forced into round holes because the holes didn't mean anything to begin with.

Defense Ministry officials attempt to defend government decision to permit haredi exemption from IDF service: 'Since the Tal Law expired, 1,500 haredi youths have been screened at IDF enlistment centers. Knesset will decide if they will serve'

The expiration of the Tal Law
last August was meant to change the situation on the ground, however since, no alternative law has yet been put into legislation.
In light of this legislative vacuum, the IDF's Manpower Directorate has put on hold both the widespread enlistment of haredim and the dispatch of letters to 16 and 17-year-old ultra-Orthodox teens , inviting them to begin their screening process. The actualization of either scenarios seems very unlikely.

Nonetheless, a source within the ministry claimed that since the expiration of the Tal Law, a total of 1,500 haredim, aged 16 and 17, have arrived at IDF recruitment centers.
There, the youths have begun undergoing the mandatory screening process, which includes a psychological evaluation as well as a full body physical, together forming the future soldier's military profile. However, it is far from clear whether such a process will bear fruit and if anyone of them will actually serve.
According to the source, up until now these youths would have arrived at the induction center only to receive their "religion is their profession" exemption (mandated by the Tal Law to haredi students). More over, these youths - as well as an additional 2,000 who will be called up in the next eight months – will be eligible to serve only from August 2013.

In the background of the haredi draft exemption uproar, Ynet has learned that next month is set to bring with it the enlistment of some 30 haredi soldiers to the Navy thus raising the number of ultra-Orthodox recruits in 2013 to 100.

I'm 13 weeks pregnant with twins and my Dog is obsessed with me and driving me insane!
I am currently 13 and a half weeks pregnant with twins and this is my first pregnancy (other than a miscarriage 18 months ago). I have a 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier called Phoenix and she has become completely obsessed with me to the point I am considering giving her up.... If she isn't allowed to sit on top of me she cries and stares at me intensely. I know dogs and cats sense pregnancy and maybe its worse because its twins but she is obsessed! She is our only dog after our Alaskan Malamute died in Feb 2011 and we got a cat to keep her company which worked until now. Is this normal? Is there any thing I can do to rehabilitate her? I don't know what to do and I feel like I am just getting meaner and meaner.... making her sit on her bed or go outside because she is making me nuts!

I AM 13 WEEKS pregnant cnd my chihuahua has a step ladder to go into my bed which he has alwasy used now he just cries and cries until i hae to pick him up and he HAS to sleep RIGHT ON MY BELLY. i think thye sense a baby is taking away from their attention and need to do anything possible to gain it backposted 06/27/2012 by vanessa2alva
My dog's always been rather independant, he usually doesn't care so much about me (he's a beagle), but now he wants to sleep next to me all the time. Thankfully, he's not obsessive given his independant nature, so I am enjoying the extra attention, though I do have a feeling it will pass. I am sure your dog will eventually calm down. Good luck!posted 06/17/2012 by vanita_austen
Im having the same problem with my fiancé dog...he follows me every where even when I'm in the shower he tries to get in....but hopefully it'll pass since it didn't start till I was pregnantposted 06/11/2012 by Cmecry7
Yep my cat is doing the same thing. it's just a pet thing. Don't give her up. Just give her love. It should all pass. i know it can be annoying but really they just love us!!!posted 06/05/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

The print media is set to have a field day with William Bennett's comments regarding an outlandish book. (Touched on earlier on Newsbusters by Brent Baker and Dave Pierre.)

Reuters leads off with: "The White House on Friday criticized as 'not appropriate' a comment from former Education Secretary William Bennett that aborting black babies would reduce the U.S. crime rate."

ABC News (running an AP article), leads off with the title: Bennett: Black Abortions Would Lower Crime."

This leaves the impression that this is not only Bennett's idea, but that he even supports the claim.

Meanwhile, Brian Faler writing for <a href="http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050930/NEWS06/50930... Washington Post led with "Democratic lawmakers and civil rights leaders denounced conservative commentator William Bennett on Thursday for suggesting on his syndicated radio show that aborting black children would reduce the U.S. crime rate" once again leaving the same impression that these are both his claims and his beliefs.

<a href="http://www.vibe.com/news/news_headlines/2005/09/education_secretary_vili... Magazine chimed in with "Education Secretary vilified for racist comments." The first sentence, again called his comments "racist" stating: Education Secretary William Bennett is facing some serious backlash regarding the racist content of his radio talk show this week, when he said, on air, that aborting 'every black baby in this country' would help reduce crime."

A book makes a claim, a conservative restates essentially the same claim, calls the claim "morally reprehensible" and "ridiculous" and he gets accused of holding the idea. It's a cycle of violence. Meanwhile, the Media is constantly portraying in its lead titles and summaries that Bennett both is the founder of such a claim and a believer in it.

Word On The Street
"Arriving in Downtown Santa Monica felt like a dream, almost. Huge crowds! The space looks great. I saw the snaking long line waiting to board and figured I'd try out the Breeze bikeshare to get on at a different station. Despite the number of steps to set up an account, it was straightforward to use. I biked to the 17th/SMC station, locked the bike up, and boarded the train back for Downtown."

Destiny's triple troubleDestiny's Child have revealed reforming after a three-year break was a stress-induced "nightmare".
Beyonc�'© Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams admit being together in a studio after so long was tense - and their songs initially sounded "really bad".
The sexy threesome got back together earlier this year, after pursuing their own solo projects, to make new album 'Destiny's Fulfilled', out next month.
Beyonc�'© revealed: "We had two studios set up at the same time. The way we recorded the album was very different. We got sent thousands of tracks from different producers - but after picking out 30 we liked - they all started sounding the same."
The girls began to grow despondent as they set about writing their own songs - and they started to believe they would never produce a successful album again.
Kelly said: "Some days I was like, 'What are we doing? This is not a good song. Let's go to the next.' I had to calm down because I was so anxious. All of us were."
But on the last day in the studio, the band recorded new single 'Lose My Breath', which has been tipped for success.

Khloe Kardashian And Lamar Odom's Road To Reconciliation
October 31, 2013 07:00 AM by Lisa Princ
It's been a very tough few months for Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom with rumors of cheating, and Lamar's drug addiction. But now, with buzz about Odom being clean for weeks, it seems as though the Kardashian star and former NBA star could be one step closer to a reconciliation!
Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's marital troubles left many fans wondering if the couple would end up divorcing, but it actually looks like there is still a chance for them to save their crumbling marriage. Recent rumors claimed that Lamar has been clean and sober for weeks now, and more sources are coming forward to reiterate that. In fact, one of them spoke to Radar Online recently, and told them that Lamar is even taking random drug tests to prove he is not using anymore!
The insider went on to reveal that: "The drastic maneuver impressed Khloe, but she is still is very concerned that Lamar has refused to go to rehab," and: "Lamar has also stopped hanging out with his shady drug friends, and has cut off all contact with them." It definitely sounds as though Lamar is finally trying to change his life and fix his marriage, but we can't blame Khloe for being cautious. Those close to the couple feel that they are definitely on the right path to reconciliation, which could happen as soon as Khloe is able to trust her husband again.
What do you think about Lamar Odom's drug problem? Will he and Khloe reconcile, or will they end up divorcing? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear from you. Comment below to share your thoughts with us!

My baby stopped sleeping through the night, why?
My daughter started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks. At 12 weeks I started work again and she stopped sleeping through the night all the time. I would still get 2-3 nights where she would sleep all night. Then as she got older I would get maybe 1 night a week where she would sleep. She is 9 months now and her sleep is just getting worse and worse. She is up sometimes 5 times a night or she will get up once but she will be up for 3 hours at a time. We have had a highly consistant night time routine since she was 5 weeks old, and nothing has changed there. I don't know why this is happening. Any suggestions?

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
If you leave and don't appear in court, then a warrant will be issued for your arrest. This will mean that the next time you try to enter the USA, you will be refused. And, if by some chance you are not refused, then you may be arrested by law enforcement and held for trial.
However, California authorities will not try to have you extradited from Mexico, so if you don't plan to return to the USA, then you can leave.
The only other alternative is to hire a lawyer and try to get the charges dismissed before your court appearance date.
Hope this helps.
Terms and Conditions: By your continuing in this conversation with me, or by your clicking "Accept", you are expressly agreeing to all of the following: (1) our communication is for entertainment purposes only; (2) you are not consulting me in my professional capacity as an attorney; (3) you do not seek to establish an attorney-client relationship with me, nor do I with you; (4) you will not rely on anything I say and you will obtain appropriate legal counsel via a traditional/office consultation with an attorney licensed to practice in the jurisdiction where your legal issue arises (and you may not use our communication to avoid taxpayer penalties imposed by the U.S. Dept. of Treasury); (5) by communicating with me in this public forum you are irrevocably waiving any right to privacy, confidentiality and attorney-client privilege concerning the matters discussed.

If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then you must advise me immediately.
It's possible, but the fact that you would return from Mexico would show that you are not really a flight risk, because your return was entirely voluntary. The court would probably release you on your own responsibility, or it may set a small bail amount. But, you wouldn't be jailed -- that would be incredibly unlikely, given the charge against you.
Although, I can't promise you anything. A lawyer who works that courthouse would have better info on the judges' predisposition for various actions.

Demi Lovato And Naya Rivera Lock Lips Next Week On Glee
September 27, 2013 08:53 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
Get ready for a brand new love story during this season's second episode of Glee! X Factor judge Demi Lovato will play Naya Rivera's love interest, performing a Beatles duet and, perhaps, engaging in some serious smooching!
Demi Lovato and Naya Rivera as an item on Glee? Ooh la la! The new television couple will debut during next week's episode, joining forces for a Beatles tribute. And that's not all they'll be doing! Based on a recent promo for the new episode, Demi and Naya will enjoy at least one kiss. And based on interviews with the two celebs, we probably can expect additional smooches to follow.
Naya also admits that her rehearsals with Demi have been steamy, but adds that she wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, when asked if she prefers locking lips with male or female cast members, the actress confessed, "I would say it is easier to kiss women." But while she's cool with kissing Demi, she's not so sure about taking it any further. "There is no love scene. I don't do love scenes."
If Demi and Naya's on-screen relationship shares the natural chemistry apparent in Glee previews and social media posts, we assume they'll be a new favorite on Glee. Perhaps not a true replacement for the beloved Brittana, but definitely the next best thing.
Check out the new Glee promo — we've posted it for your viewing pleasure! When you're done, stop by the comments section and tell us what you think of Demi Lovato and Naya Rivera as an on-screen couple!

Coalmine Records has released "Land Of The Crooks," a track by Billy Danze, Sean Price and Maffew Ragazino. The song is a Brooklyn, New York anthem, meant to be released to coincide with the start of the Brooklyn Nets' season.
"This is the most incredible track I've heard in a while," Billy Danze says in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. "M-Phazes put the track together well. You could feel the passion in the production. It's almost as if he's from Brooklyn himself. Slapping drums, thick bass line and sick hook."
As soon as Danze heard the track, he says he knew he needed to record his vocals on it.
"They sent me the track and asked if I'd jump on it," Danze says. "I said, 'Hell yeah.' And my Brownsville homies are on it too. It couldn't be anything less then sick. It's an honor to represent my city through good music. This is definitely a Kings County anthem."
"Land of the Crooks" also features scratches from DJ Babu of Dilated Peoples. On the selection, Babu cuts up Jeru The Damaja's lyrics regarding Brooklyn. "Live in the land of the crooks," Damaja says. "Yes, Brooklyn's the borough." The line comes from "D. Original" off Jeru's 1994 The Sun Rises In The East album.
"Land of the Crooks" is also set to be included on Unearthed, a Coalmine Records compilation slated for a January 2014 release.
The track can be heard below.

Meatopia 2012
MEATOPIA 2012: City of Meat presented by Whole Foods
Saturday, September 8th
Randall's Island Park
It Rained But Meatopia 2012 Shined
This is the 9th year of Meatopia (aka Josh Ozersky's "Woodstock of Edible Animals"). The 2012 Meat, Drink, Fire and Music festival was presented by Whole Foods on Randall's Island Park, NYC. The theme was the "Meatopia 2012: City of Meat" and the festival was set up with chefs grilling and stick burning in 8 different sections or "neighborhoods"; Meatopia Heights, Deckle District, Carcass Hill, The Quarter, Embassy Row, Beaktown, Meatopia County Game Reserve, and Offalwood.
What Josh Ozersky Wrote About Lang BBQ Smokers
As a sponsor of Meatopia 2012 we were thrilled when food writer and founder of Meatopia Josh Ozersky wrote "Lang Smokers are the Cadillac of barbecue cookers, the quintessential "stick burning" smoker used by the most skillful and successful barbecue chefs in the world. Their reverse-flow cookers are universally imitated, usually with shabbier construction, thinner gauge metal, and less sturdy construction. For any barbecue cooker with a jot of self-respect, Lang is the weapon of choice for turning raw meat into barbecue with only wood — the way it was meant to be cooked."
The Lang team set up a space so visitors could see and touch the backyard patio stick burners but the tornado winds were quite the challenge. We were positioned near the U.S. Navy Seals Cooking Team who were grilling up venison (these guys can sure do ANYTHING!)
Who Was Cooking on a Lang?
Some executive chefs in the meat sections Deckle District and The Quarter cooked on our smoker cookers. To name a few:
The Meatopia 2012 Grand Champion - Congratulations to Aaron Franklin for wining the Meatopia 2012 Grand Champion for his amazing beef brisket! Aaron is from Franklin's BBQ in Austin, Texas and was one of the three judges of the BBQ PITMASTER in 2012. He smoked a beef brisket with onion, pickle and "air bread".
Aaron Franklin
Adam Perry Lang (no relation) was smoking beef short ribs on a couple of Lang BBQ Smokers. Adam, a native New Yorker with restaurants in NYC - Daisy May's BBQ, London - Barbecoa, and Las Vegas - the CarneVino, Everyone eating his short ribs were astounded. more at AdamPerryLang.com
Up on Carcass Hill, April Bloomfield of The Breslin (on West 29th St. in NYC) was cooking a whole Hampshire hog with spicy pepper seasoning.
Photos before the people and the rains came.

In 2008, then candidate Obama promised he would enact legislation to
eliminate the gender gap in pay. The first statute he signed as President was
the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Although further attempts at additional
legislation were not successful, the focus of the administration shifted to the
aggressive enforcement of existing laws. A National Equal Pay Enforcement Task
Force was created and the EEOC and OFCCP were given resources to materially
increase their investigation and enforcement programs, making equal pay a
special target of their strategic enforcement efforts.
With the
President's re-election and another campaign promise to do even more to
eliminate the gender pay gap, we fully anticipate even more aggressive agency
enforcement over the next four years.
This session will focus on
proactive steps companies should consider now and how to best respond when the
EEOC begins systemic discrimination, or directed equal pay investigations, or
the OFCCP commences a pay audit.

i have a unix c programming assignment in which i do some advanced C network programming.this is my first step into advance programming. so i was wondering what is the best combination of tools for this on a mac. using an IDE like Eclipse is how i'd normally do it but i have to make my own makefiles and stuff. so i would like to learn how it can be done effectively using may be emacs or vim + other tools. it will be quite a big project so i am worried about project management and debugging issues mostly as well as the productivity factor. in essence i want to learn how programmers do it in the professional environment without the bloated IDE part. i am using Snow Leopard.i would also delve into C++ and python in the future so may be something that will be useful for those as well.
I know you're asking for how to do it with makefiles/VI/etc. but on the Mac, Xcode is really the way to go, especially for large projects. It's a very effective wrapper that will call gcc and gdb and the linker for you. Especially when moving to a new platform, not having to worry with many of the pesky details will be a big leap in productivity. It's IDE debugger is quite awesome.
Of course you can also use makefiles etc. Many projects (just to take OpenSSL as an example) come with makefiles and you can compile them on the Mac from the commandline just like under the *ix operating systems, i.e. calling ./configure and then make. But setting up stuff like that (e.g. compiler options for universal binaries and such) is tedious while the IDE it's just a few options. Also, if you google for specific questions, you will find far more answers on how to do it with Xcode.
If you want to get started with Xcode, it's either on your Mac operating system CD (it just does not pre-install automatically) or you can download it from Apple. When you run it, just open a Mac OS X Project of type "Application - Commandline Tool" and you'll have a project with a main.c set up in a minute. You can then just run it or run it in the debugger like that and adding more source files to it is rather easy.
Xcode can be quite a beast for setting up an already large project (we ported a large project with DLLs and depending exes (overall 250000 lines of code) to the Mac and just getting that all set up wasn't what you call a piece of cake) but if you start from scratch you'll easily grow into it.
Bottom line is that Xcode certainly is equipped to deal with large projects and I can not imagine a more productive way of doing it (I have used hand written makefiles and such in the past so I know both worlds).
Xcode is your friend. It's free and is a very nice IDE. When you launch XCode, just start a new Console application (it'll be ANSI C).
If learning the rudiments of unix editors, shell programming, make, etc., are part of the assignment, then you just need to dive in and learn what you need to learn. Some good books will help. Obviously you need K&R. I always liked the O'Reilly books for Unix stuff, usually because they are the thinnest. I hate thick computer books because they never get read. You should also learn how to use the man pages.
Vim vs. Emacs is a religious choice. If you ask any Unix guy what is the best, he will invariably tell you the one he learned first, because chances are he never learned the other. In my case, I've been using Vim so long that my escape key is worn out and the commands are hard-wired into my brain. Obviously, I think it's way better than emacs (which I never learned!) If you are lucky enough to have a Mac as a work station, install mac vim. It's great.
Make is complicated enough so that you will never really master it. Just learn enough to compile and link your program. You can always learn more if you need it.
Version control is an interesting question... I use RCS for small stuff. Like vi, it is on every Unix machine. For really big projects, I use subversion, but like editors, most people use whatever they learned first. Git people will say its the only one to use, etc.
Command line debuggers are a pain, which is a main selling point for Xcode. I've used gdb, but I don't remember it as a pleasant experience. Its been so long since I used it, I can't even remember how to start it up. There must be better debuggers by now. Try google.
Bottom line, all the things you mentioned are big topics. You need to take realistic bites of each and not get tangled in the weeds. It can take years to master them all.
Finally, I'd stay as far away from C++ as possible! Objective C is much better. Personal prejudice!

Cost of Breast Implants
Breast implant cost consists of a few factors: the implant cost, the implant placement, the breast implant incision, and what type the implant is, smooth vs textured.
Bust implants can be inserted in many different ways; this makes it so it can be very difficult to answer the question of how much a breast implant surgery will cost. Breast Augmentation Costs will vary widely from surgeon to surgeon and procedure to procedure. Some variables that will affect the cost include the skill of the surgeon, the surgeon's location, the type of implants, whether the surgery is done in the doctor's office or in a hospital, what type of surgery you choose, and what type of anesthesia is used.
Implant Cost
The implants themselves are not cheap, and typically their cost is folded into the overall cost of the surgery. The average total cost for bust implant surgery ranges from approximately $4,000 to $10,000. The typical cost for the implants themselves is $1,000 to $1,300; the fee for anesthesia is typically $600 to $800. The fee for the facility typically ranges from $800 to $1,200. The remaining cost is the fee for the surgeon.
Implant Placement
Surgery for bust implants can be approached in one of a few ways. One approach involves the insertion of the bust implant under the breast. This placement is called "submammary." Another approach involves inserting the bust implant under the chest muscle. This is called "subpectoral."
Breast Implant Incision
The surgeon's choice of where to cut can also affect cost. An incision can be made under the breast at the breast fold, at the edge of the areola (the brown area around the nipple), within the areola, in the armpit, or even in the umbilical area. The thinnest, least visible scar is usually a result of an incision in the areola. The umbilical incision will involve using an endoscope (a tube with a light, a fiberoptic lens and tools for placing the implant).
Smooth vs Textured Implants
There are two types of bust implant, smooth and textured. The smooth bust implants normally require a large pocket. About ten percent of the time they can cause capsule contracture—a tightening of the scar around the implant, which causes excessive firmness or hardness. The smooth implant can also ripple or wrinkle occasionally, giving the skin above it a wavy appearance.
Textured implants are far less likely to cause capsule contracture; with textured bust implants it happens only three percent of the time, but far more likely to cause rippling (up to nine percent of the time).
