Preventable: Other gun deaths
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Horrible shootings at schools and theaters naturally grab attention and sear into the public memory. But thousands of people are killed or wounded by guns in this country every year in circumstances that are not so widely understood or observed.
Hospitalizations and in-hospital deaths of children with gunshot wounds are increasing. More than 7,500 U.S. children go to hospitals with gunshot wounds a year, and more than 500 die, researchers reported at the national conference of the American Academy of Pediatrics in October.
Dr. Arin Madenci of the University of Michigan Medical School and Dr. Christopher Weldon of Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School found that handguns inflicted the majority of wounds, followed by shotguns and hunting rifles.
They also found that households where guns were present tend to have more gunshot wounds.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the safest approach for children is to keep no guns at home.
Another team of researchers studied 10 years worth of suicide data and determined a simple truth -- fewer guns mean fewer suicides.
Economics professor Alex Tabarrok and graduate student Justin Briggs at George Mason University noted in Slate magazine that in a typical year suicides outnumber homicides by 3 to 1. For every 1 percent increase in gun ownership rates, they measured an increase in suicides between 0.5 and 0.9 percent. They found the relationship even when they controlled for other factors, such as mental illness.
Guns are quick and deadly, so if someone acts on an impulse to commit suicide and a gun is handy, that person is more likely to die than if the gun is not available. Suicides are not inevitable, they write.
West Virginia ranks fifth in the country in the rate of suicide by firearm, and seventh in overall firearm deaths, according to a report from the Center for American Progress.
All of these findings reinforce the need for states and the nation to keep guns out of the hands of people who cannot be trusted with them. Even the simplest of solutions, such as Sen. Joe Manchin's proposal to extend background checks to those trying to buy weapons at gun shows and online, meet opposition from a loud minority. But America's health and safety demand better.

Appearance, price value and quality are all FIRST RATE!!! I installed mine on a roll bar and the harness did not even make it half way to the bar on the bed of the truck. The installation was not hard but very time consuming. Not a job for a first timer. You should install your lights directly to the battery with in line fuses and don't mess with the trucks wiring system because the computers in your late model truck might pick up the increase in your 12 volt system and shut down.

Super bright. Don't even need high beams. Install was a little tough but because the engine compartment is so tight it made it difficult to run the wires. Once I had a plan things went smoothly. These things will blind someone from a mile away. My second set of KC's. Worth every penny.

The Aleph
Directed by Daniel Brooks
Featuring Diego Matamoros
Runs until June 18 @ The Young Centre for the Performing Arts
By Jen Handley
For all the richly detailed characters and emotionally resonant moments Diego Maramoros creates, the most impressive aspect of his performance in The Aleph is that you'll believe anything he tells you.
And that's saying a lot. Matamoros and Daniel Brooks adapted The Aleph from a short story by Jorge Luis Borges, a slow burner that might bring to mind a mid-twentieth century, Argentine version of one of Poe's ideas. Without giving away too much, it's safe to say that the play runs into a mind-bending twist, but it gets there so gradually and stealthily you barely recognize how fantastically outrageous it is even when it's right in front of your nose.
This is in large part the result of the adaptation's ingenious construction, which replaces Borges' protagonist with the real-life, nineteen-year-old Matamoros, and leaves intact details of his life: his father's work as a diplomat, his friendship with fellow young actor Colm Feore, even a copy of his headshot. Matamoros, now a professorial fiftyish, remarks with disarming self-deprecation that the photo shows a young man "full of hope—well, full of the absence of despair."
But the story Matamoros sets out to tell us, about an extraordinary few weeks he spent on a summer visit to his family in Buenos Aires as a teenager, is where the fiction comes in, though you wouldn't know it from Matamoros' performance. He's conversational at first, and indulges in his "memories" with as much youthful awe as if they were his own. The Buenos Aires he becomes larger than life in the glow of his nostalgia, and the grand nicknames his family attaches to everything: his father's insanely complex house is "El Labarynto," and the tall, dark Italian girl he has a crush on is "El Diosa," the goddess.
But as Matamoros (or the version of him that went to Buenos Aires that summer) gets more and more wrapped up in his experiences, you begin to get the sneaking suspicion that it might be something more than youthful awe that's making his visit, and the return he makes the following year, so intensely special. Slowly but surely, the young Diego develops a nemesis, his self-important but untalented cousin, a director, Vittorio. Vittorio spends all his time below his ancestral home, in a theatre, represented here by wall-to-wall mirror that reflects not just Matamoros, but—in the play's for turn for the creepy—the entire audience. This simple but astonishingly effective set piece allows Matamoros to hold effortless conversations between two characters, and look into this particularly corner of Buenos Aires as though it really is another world. The climax of the play happens in this theatre, and it's worth every moment of the wait.
At the very beginning of the play, before Matamoros launches into his story, he shares an anecdote about an eighty-year old actor who auditions with a perfect Hamlet. It's half shaggy-dog joke, half parable, and ends with a miracle; and that pretty much describes the entire play. The rest you'll have to see to believe.

Knee Replacement
Knee Replacement Surgery at Grand View Hospital
- The thigh bone, or femur
- The kneecap, or patella
- The shin bone, or tibia
Knee replacement surgery realigns the knee joint with artificial parts. Three components form the artificial knee:
- The thigh component, typically made of metal, covers the end of the thigh bone.
- The shin bone component, usually made of metal and a medical-grade plastic, covers the top end of the shin.
- The artificial knee cap component, typically made of a medical-grade plastic, resurfaces the underside of the natural knee cap.
The artificial knee is inserted through an incision that runs above the knee, down and along the inside of the knee cap to below the knee. The new components are then glued into place with a special bone cement.
Following surgery, you enjoy a spacious, private room and other conveniences. You also continue your care plan.
The typical hospital stay for knee replacement at the Joint Replacement Center is three days. If returning directly home from the hospital is not an option for you, our Joint Replacement Center Coordinator helps you make the necessary arrangements for a stay at a nursing or rehabilitation facility.
Grand View Hospital received five stars in total knee replacement in 2010 and is the only hospital in Bucks and Montgomery Counties to receive five stars in total joint replacement from HealthGrades ®, the nation's leading health-care ratings company.

Last month pioneer video game artist Paul H. Steed passed away. Steed's credits included the Quake and Wing Commander series. He also served as an Advisory Board member for the Game Developers Conference for a number of years. Out of respect for Steed, the Game Developers Conference Advisory Board announced the launch of a memorial fund for Paul Steed's family.
"Unlike most of us, Steed didn't labor in obscurity. If you were involved in games during the '90s — whether as a professional or as a fan — it was hard not to pay attention to Paul Steed. He worked on some of the seminal titles of the decade, notably the Wing Commander series and the Quake series," recalled Steve Theodore, a GDC Advisory Board member and technical art director at Undead Labs.
"He produced the first demo for Xbox 360, presented a Game Career Seminar keynote at the Game Developers Conference, and was a leading exponent of art outsourcing — proving that he could remain topical for nearly two decades. Always outspoken and always controversial, he was not a typical game artist — but he was the most public exemplar of what we do for people both inside and outside the business."
Those wishing to help Steed's family during this troubling time can do so by visiting this page on the official GDC site. They can also contact GDC general manager Meggan Scavio for additional information.

A nasty and violent take on the real vs. adoptive parents issue, "The Tie That Binds" is simply dull for most of its running time before turning downright nauseating. From three of the same producers as "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," new effort just sits there generating disgust rather than suspense.
A nasty and violent take on the real vs. adoptive parents issue, "The Tie That Binds" is simply dull for most of its running time before turning downright nauseating. From three of the same producers as "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" and presumably partly inspired by that creepy hit, new effort just sits there generating disgust rather than suspense, and it's impossible to guess which audience the filmmakers imagined would be attracted to it. Quick exit to vid pasture will follow token theatrical dates.Tyro screenwriter Michael Auerbach and first-time helmer Wesley Strick plod through a tale that has outlaw team of John and Leann Netherwood (Keith Carradine and Dary Hannah) forced to flee a crime scene, leaving their young daughter, Janie (Julia Devin), behind. Taken in by professional couple Russell and Dana Clifton (Vincent Spano and Moira Kelly) with an eye to eventual adoption, little Janie slowly begins to adapt to her new surroundings, but signals her traumatic past through such odd behavior as cutting her palms and wandering into traffic. Naturally, her white trash parents aren't about to let their sprig become a yuppie kid, so they set out, not just to recapture their daughter, but to murder everyone who had anything to do with the separation, including a cop and an adoption official. Although the Cliftons eventually realize that the bad folks are moving in on them, they find that they can run but cannot hide, and it all ends in a preposterous show-down. Resolution is predictable, and arrived at in the most morally offensive manner possible. The plotting is bad enough, but it is exacerbated by director Strick, who tries on his new directorial clothes for size by indulging in a parade of gratuitous crane and overhead shots that only call attention to themselves in their pointlessness. Characters are all one-dimensional, with no effort made to give them any layers beyond the most primal family drives to stick together. Thesps should move to put this embarrassment behind them as quickly as possible. Tech efforts are all pro, to no avail.

Abdominal Muscle Toner
The Flex Pro is an ab belt designed by Slendertone. Slendertone is a maker of many designs of abdominal belts. The Flex Pro is designed to be a high intensity muscle toner that delivers a complete ab workout. The workout is delivered through Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology as the belt is worn. The EMS is intended to reach nerves that branch out to all three main ab muscles that cause strengthening contractions. Wearers can increase intensity levels as they progress through the 7 toning programs. The belt claims to deliver effect ab workouts leading the wearer to more defined ab muscles.
- Product has been through clinical studies
- Fits up to a 47" waistline
- Claims to workout muscles for the wearer
- Small device, no larger equipment to store
- Product only focuses on one area of the body
- Not Suitable for those with waistlines over 47"
- Gel pads required for belt have to replaced as needed
- Diet and exercise are secondary mention
- Results may be exaggerated
The Flex Pro comes with an exercise and nutrition guide upon product orderEXERCISE
The intermediate Flex Pro is designed to deliver a complete abdominal workout for the rectus, oblique, and transversus abdominis muscles simply by the wearer wearing the belt five times a week for six weeks. The result is supposed to be firmer and stronger abs. The Electric Muscle Stimulation Technology is designed to reach deep nerves that cause the abdominal muscles to contract and strengthen as the wearer increases through the seven progressive programs of intensity. The product comes with an addition exercise and nutrition plan.CONCLUSION
The Flex Pro claims to have clinical research backing it's effectiveness. That may be the only reason one would want to take the financial risk of purchasing a product that seems too good to be true. The exercise and nutrition guide may be the crux of this product as it may simply aid in a good fitness and diet plan.Common Misspellings

Why Jubilee USA and JEFSA are Compatible
Supporters of Jubilee USA should be assured that the Judgment Evading Foreign States Accountability Act (JEFSA) of 2011 will not disqualify poor nations from receiving debt relief or impose other penalties on them. The legislation introduced has been carefully crafted to avoid jeopardizing debt relief status for poor nations. The Jubilee USA Act and JEFSA are compatible for the following reasons:
- JEFSA applies only to "wealthy and middle-income foreign states." These are states that are "not presently eligible or potentially eligible to receive debt receive debt relief through the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative of the World Bank" and those "not presently eligible for financing from the International Development Association (IDA)."
- The Jubilee USA Act has been used as a guide to ensure that JEFSA does not affect poor nations. These sanctions effectively exclude from penalty any nation qualifying for debt relief under the Jubilee USA Act.
- JEFSA legislation only imposes sanctions against "judgment evading foreign states" – that is, nations that have defaulted on more than $100 million in obligations, and have remained in default for more than two years. The legislation would then only bar such nations from incurring additional indebtedness in US capital markets. These nations are allowed two years to honor court judgments before penalties apply. JEFSA's goal of prohibiting further accrual of debt is not incompatible with the goals of Jubilee and other advocates of debt cancellation and responsible lending.
- JEFSA would currently only affect Argentina, which has repeatedly defaulted on court judgments, has remained in default for years, and is not eligible for aid through HIPC or the IDA. This legislation will serve to discourage future bad acts by other middle-income and wealthy nations, rather than punishing impoverished nations for the inability to repay their debts.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Gretchen Rossi Talks Tamra Barney's Wedding and Favorite RHOC Moments — Exclusive!
Like many Housewives before her, Gretchen Rossi has parlayed her reality fame into a certified brand — a super sexy one at that! The Real Housewives of Orange County star recently launched a line of hot bikinis called Gretchen Christine for LUXE with the help of designer Lisa Vogel.
Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with Gretchen at SwimSpot in Santa Monica, California, where she held a meet and greet with Lisa to celebrate the swimwear line. The blonde bombshell dished on co-star Tamra Barney's recent wedding and gave juicy details about Real Housewives of Orange County's 100th episode special, which airs on June 24.
Wetpaint Entertainment: Tamra's wedding, how was that?
Gretchen Rossi: It was beautiful. It was so beautiful. She made a beautiful bride, and the whole ceremony and the reception was to die for. I mean, it was a beautiful, beautiful day.
What did she look like?
She just looked amazing. She had three different dress changes. Like every bride, every bride walks down, and you go, "Oh, she's so pretty."
Were you dying to squeeze to fit into a bridesmaid dress, or were you relieved? There was talk about you maybe being a bridesmaid.
Oh, no. I wasn't a bridesmaid. No, I think there's times that you want to be a bridesmaid, for sure. I mean, actually, I think their dresses were beautiful. I think they were really pretty dresses. I heard they were by Vera Wang, and they were this beautiful lush color. They were really pretty.
What can you say about the hundredth episode of Real Housewives of Orange County?
The hundredth episode is going to be so neat because it's the first time they are really pulling the curtain back, and they're really delving into the secrets, and the behind the scenes. And we've never really seen that before. You've never really seen all of — I think they're actually showing all of our audition tapes. I think they have clip from that. I just found out. So there's a lot of really fun, juicy, behind the scenes stuff that I think the audience has a lot of questions and has been dying to ask those questions for so long, but they've never really been able to get the answers. So I think this is the first time that you're going to get some really juicy behind the scenes stuff.
It's been a while. Looking back, what are some of your highlights, favorite moments of being part of this?
I would say when I threw my parents a surprise 40th wedding anniversary extravaganza and had them renew their vows. That was a very special moment for me, and had so much fun planning it, and they were just so surprised. So I absolutely love that. This season, I'm going to be getting engaged on the show, and it was a pretty spectacular moment. So I think that's going to be one of those big moments as well.

The market and media have been so transfixed with the imbroglio over the reform of our nation's healthcare, that other policies being contemplated by the Obama Administration have been ignored. These include some tax proposals that would reduce the incentive to drill for oil and gas in the U.S. These proposals are explained in a 130-page document issued by the Treasury Department in May 2009 entitled "General Explanations of the Administration's Fiscal Year 2010 Revenue Proposals," which explains the rationale for dozens of proposed changes in government tax policy.
IN PICTURES: Learn To Invest In 10 Steps
The section on Energy tax policy contains several tax changes affecting the oil industry that may have a detrimental impact on our already pathetic attempt to increase domestic supplies of oil. All involve the repeal of tax credits that are used to incent the industry to drill or keep older wells on line.
Leaking Oil
The first tax credit the industry would lose is for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. EOR projects are those that "involve the application of one or more of nine listed tertiary recovery methods" that are used to increase the amount of recoverable crude oil.
One tertiary recovery method is the injection of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) into older wells, conducted by companies like Denbury Resources (NYSE:DNR) on its fields in Mississippi. EOR techniques are critical for many of the mature oil fields in the U.S.
Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC) started using EOR techniques on a field in Wyoming several years ago, and now expects the field to produce for another 30 years and yield another 150 million barrels of oil.
The large international oil companies also use EOR on its older fields. Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS.A) injected steam into a field in California in the 1960s, and the field is still producing today. It's not clear why the Obama Administration is opposed to this tax credit as it was phased out last year due to the high price of oil.
The second tax credit to be repealed is for production from marginal wells. This is a $3 a barrel credit for wells that produce less than 2 barrels oil equivalent (BOE) per day and are at least 95% water. While this may not impact most public companies, there are nearly 400,000 of these wells in the U.S., also called stripper wells. They accounted for 28% of oil production in the lower 48 states in 2007.
Other tax changes would repeal expensing of intangible drilling costs, and the deduction for tertiary injectant expenses.
In Agreement
One proposal that I agree with is to levy tax on production from the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) - an area that currently has no federal excise tax.
The recent Tiber discovery by BP Inc. (NYSE:BP) was on the OCS and this multi billion-barrel discovery certainly would have proceeded regardless of a small federal tax on production.
The Obama tax proposals on the energy industry might have the effect of increasing our dependence on imported oil - something that I would have thought all political parties, whether on the right or left, would be opposed to. (To learn more, read Oil And Gas Industry Primer.)

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. March 10. UNITED States Water Polo announced Wednesday that it was reaching into its past to elevate the future. Bill Barnett was selected to coach the United States women at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Barnett was the men's Olympic coach during the 1988 Games in Seoul, South Korea.
Barnett, whose official appointment depends on finalizing a contract, replaces Guy Baker, who led the United States in 2000 and 2004, the only years in which women's water polo has been an Olympic sport. Barnett selected Heather Moody and Bernice Orwig as assistant coaches. A two-time Olympian, Moody was captain of the 2004 squad while Orwig was a goalkeeper for the 2000 team.
Baker guided the United States to Olympic medals in his two stints, including a bronze medal in Athens last summer. Baker became head of the men's program in January.
Barnett guided the men's national team from 1985-92 and helped the United States to the silver medal at the 1988 Games. That Olympiad marked the last time the United States made the medal stand on the men's side. Since 1997, Barnett has served as the national team video/scout coach.
"The commitee concurred that Bill Barnett was the correct fit to continue the success of our women's program through the next four years," said Brent Bohlender, Chair of the USWP Women's International/Olympic Committee that approved Barnett's selection. "His experience at the international level is as extensive and successful as any coach we have ever had in the United States. We all look forward to the future with Bill and his qualified staff to lead us to the gold in China."
The women's team has scheduled its first workout Memorial Day weekend (May 27-30) in Los Alamitos, Calif., at the USWP National Training Center. Between 24-30 players are expected at that session.

excerpt from Barsuk
"Trained as a painter but best known for his role as a founding member (and the extraordinarily agile bassist) of chamber pop heavy-hitters Ra Ra Riot, Mathieu Santos has surprised himself by making a solo record. The songs that compose Massachusetts 2010, to be released this
summer on Barsuk, were first written – you guessed it – last year in the great state of
Massachusetts. Following their recording, however, those demos were set aside and left to sit while Santos spent time on the road with his main band. In the winter and spring of 2011, he returned to the 10 songs with fresh perspective and a critical distance from the context in which they were originally written. Applying his visual artist's focus on only the most essential
compositional elements, Santos borrowed a friend's guest house in rural New Jersey and finalized the album in just a few days there. He worked quickly, maintaining the impulsive freedom of the original writing process but stripping down the palette and creating an arresting sonic environment that sparkles with tantalizing abstract imagery and finely-observed details, set against a backdrop of wide open spaces.
Santos sings with an echoing, bounding tenderness on opener "I Can Hear The Trains Coming," and its balance of youthful exuberance and skillful elegance sets the tone for the rest of the album. Spritely vocals bounce off stark arrangements, the instrumentation referencing the natural musicality of ordinary things—from seagull shrieks to dial-up modem rings. As the album title suggests, these songs represent a particular time and place for Santos, and although the lyrics are largely impressionistic, phrases emerge regularly to make the album resonate with echoes of
warmth, loneliness, love, regret, loss, and joy. Even if you weren't there then, Massachusetts 2010 is a place and time that anyone with ears and a heart can hear and feel."

I'm 28 weeks and have gained 25 lbs. I only weighed about 110 before I got pregnant and even though I have gained what seems like a lot to me, it is almost all in my tummy (at least it looks like it!) My weight gain was very slow in the beginning, then for about 2 or 3 weeks I gained about 5 lbs per week! Now it has tapered off again and I have only gained 2 lbs in the last month. I have no idea why...I know it is different for everyone. As long as you are eating healthy and taking care of yourself, don't worry.posted 03/06/2008 by fantasia25
I am a few weeks behind you (19w) but gained 12# already. My belly seems huge already even though my weight gain is moderate. I think it really depends on where you started (underwt, overwt) and also every body is different in terms of what it thinks is needed for a healthy pregnancy. Just keep up the healthy eating and exercise.posted 10/10/2007 by pat2438
I am 22 weeks as well, and I have gain somewhere from 16-20 lbs. My doctor told me that it was perfect weight gain. My feet and hands have not swelled up, but I hear it is normal. Here is an article on the subject that you should find helpful. Swollen extremities (edema) during pregnancy: http://www.babycenter.com/0_swollen-extremities-edema-during-pregnancy_230.bcposted 09/04/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
it sounds like some of your weight gain could be from your swelling. Make sure you drink plenty of water, that might not seem to make sense, but after a couple days you might notice improvment.posted 01/02/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 22 weeks and have gained closer to 30 girl... but no need for alarm. Some women just gaine more and that is perfectly normal and healthy for your body. As long as you aren't pigging out on junk and are eating healthy, then I wouldn't worry about it. I was really petite when I got pregnant and I feel like perhaps my body is packing on extra pounds/nutrition to become more healthy in my pregnancy. My other girl friend gained 59 pounds in both of her pregnancies~ even the doctor thought it was excessive, but being that it was for 2 pregnancies, it was obviously her body's natural pattern. Breast feeding will help eliminate allot of baby weight. :)posted 09/23/2007 by Emilie33
I am 22 weeks also, and I have gained 18lbs. My doctor said it's completely normal. I was small to start with, so it's normal to gain a little more and faster.posted 10/04/2007 by AmberA511715
I am 22 weeks and have gained 3.8 lbs.I was considered above average wieght when I got pregnant. My Dr. said I was doing GREAT. I count my calories according to what the rule book says about 2200 calories per day for pregnant women. I now know why I was "above average" weight. I ate like a pig, LOL If you were thin to start you should be fine.. Congrats to all the ladies.posted 05/01/2008 by Deborah15
I am also 22 weeks and I gained 16 pounds same like u and I'm also feeling my hands lit bit swell but don't worry everything will b normal...posted 09/19/2007 by anuradha82
I just hit 22 weeks and I have gained 14 lbs already. I feel huge considering I only gained 20 lbs total with my first child.posted 09/27/2007 by fairylovergrl
I am also 22 weeks and have gained 19 lbs. My doctor said completely okay and in the end if I gained between 40 and 45 I would be fine. I am eating healthy and staying active so my body must be preparing for labor and delivery. It is still a miracle.posted 10/09/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

This course examines the development of classical social theory in the 19th- and early 20th-century. In the first part, we will stress the philosophical
and intellectual foundations of classical theory in the works of Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Kant, and Hegel. We will examine how social theory integrated classical political science (law), modern philosophy, and historical political economy in the formation of a new discipline. Distinguishing itself from the other social
sciences of the time, classical sociology, for the most part, rejected the Enlightenment view of positivism and natural science as the foundation for social science as it
turned instead to German idealism, existentialism, and romanticism for guidance. It also rejected the Enlightenment view of liberal individualism and utilitarian economics,
and in the process united the ancient ideals of ethics, politics, and social justice (Aristotle) with the modern (neo-Kantian) concern for empirical and historical research.
The second part of the course will examine the classical analysis of the historical origins of Western society in the structures and culture of alienation (Marx),
rationalization (Weber), and anomie and division of labor (Durkheim). Of special interest will be the analysis of the early humanistic works of Marx, his ethical
and political writings and their relation to Greek philosophy, and his later critique of political economy; Weber's historical sociology, modern economic history, and his theories of Western religion and science and their relation to the development of capitalism; and, finally, the foundations of French Kantian social science in Durkheim's early works on suicide and law, and his later idealist sociology in his theory of primitive classifications, religion, and sociology of knowledge. At the methodological level, we will study the three different views of critical and ethical science in sociology: dialectical science and the method of immanent critique of Marx, interpretive science and the method of historical understanding and value relevance of Weber, and moral science and the method of functionalist and ethical analyses of Durkheim.
In the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, classical sociology in Europe was an empirical and historical science that investigated the structures, functions, culture, and ideals of modern industrial society for the purpose of implementing the principles of ancient natural law. During this early period of development, sociology was viewed by Marx, Weber, and Durkheim as a practical or ethical science of social justice. Classical social theory rejected the Enlightenment view of realism and positivist science, materialism and market economics, and individualism and utilitarian morality -- that is, it rejected the Enlightenment view of rationality, science, economics, politics, and psychology. Instead, it returned to the classical world of ancient Greece (Griechensehnsucht) with its view of practical science, moral economy, political discourse, and social justice and to the modern Kantian view of human dignity, individual freedom, constructed objectivity, and interpretive science transformed by German idealism (Hegel and Schelling), existentialism (Schopenhauer and Nietzsche), and neo-Kantianism (Dilthey, Windelband, and Rickert). In this way early sociology was able to integrate social science, social critique, and social justice.
In the nineteenth-century there was a renaissance of Greek philosophy in Germany, and Aristotle's Ethics, Politics, and Economics became so important to the key theorists of this period that they transformed his thought into their own -- they made Aristotle into a German intellectual. He became so embedded in the theoretical horizons and philosophical landscape of the German university that his name could now be legitimately spelled with an umlaut -- Aristötle. Into this world was born sociology as it became an ethical science blending together the classical horizons of the ethics and practical reason of Aristötle with the epistemology and critique of pure reason of Kant. The end result was the creation of a new critical science that represented an imaginative synthesis of the Ancients and the Moderns -- Athens and Berlin. The sociology of Marx, Weber, and Durkheim may thus be expressed in the following form: Critical Science = Classical Ethics + German Critique & Dialectic + History + Political Economy.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
(Photo Credit: Rennett Stowe/Flickr)
1. Socializing – No matter where your final destination in the office may be, you're bound to make a pit-stop at a friend's desk to chat it up a bit and waste a few good minutes. Although socializing isn't at the top of the list, 14 percent of employees surveyed did say that talking with coworkers was their number one time waster, according to the infographic below.
2. Social Networking – As the data below shows, "77 percent of workers who have a Facebook account use it during work," spending approximately two hours on the social networking site. Nowadays, your life is, literally, in the palm of your hand (in the form of a mobile device), so checking your social accounts has become easier than ever. Some companies have gone so far as to prohibit cell phones during work hours because of the distraction they cause, even penalizing employees that are seen checking or talking on their phones.
3. Surfing the Net – If the internet is available to you during work hours, then it's good for the taking. Right? Wrong. Surfing the web for pleasure was the number one time waster, according to the infographic, with 64 percent of workers admitting they visited "non-work related websites every day during work hours."
4. Job Hunting – "Worst Employee of the Month" award goes to the guy using the company computer to look for another job. Really? Yes, really, as the infographic indicates that 46 percent of the employees surveyed said they spend company hours (and dollars) seeking out other job opportunities. Tisk, tisk.
5. Meetings – In a 2005 study, The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that "unnecessary meetings cost U.S. businesses roughly $37 billion each year," then add that figure to the 47 percent of employees that say their workday is wasted by attending too many meetings. If you're really dreading the day, then schedule meetings like there's no tomorrow – heck, schedule a meeting to schedule a meeting.
6. Personal Needs – Whether you're making a doctor's appointment or running errands off-site, these are great ways to waste away the hours and get you that much closer to closing time. However, not many employers are agreeable with their employees conducting personal errands on company time, so this task is a bit harder to get away with than the others.
7. Unforeseen Problems – Something is bound to go wrong when technology and people who hate their jobs are mixed together on a daily basis, which is why 37 percent of workers state that their workday is wasted fixing other people's mistakes, while 11 percent blame it on computer issues.
8. Communication – Playing phone- or email-tag is not fun when you're up against a deadline or quota. According to the infographic below, "74 minutes a day are wasted trying to contact customers or colleagues," and 36 percent of a person's day is wasted trying to gather key information from others. It's not surprise that nothing gets done at work when everyone's time is spent on a game of "you're it!"
9. Distractions – Employees reported that some of their biggest wastes of time during the workday came from dealing with annoying coworkers, constant disruptions by others, and performing unproductive busy work. So, if there's ever a need to waste an hour or two before the dismissal bell rings, then head over to a co-worker's desk and ask to shadow her while she performs a task you're unfamiliar with. It may be pointless, but at least you're not sitting at your desk watching the time move like molasses.
10. Daydreaming – As the great John Lennon once sang, "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." Indeed you're not, Mr. Lennon because, according to the data below, 23 percent of surveyed employees indicated that they daydreamed due to pure boredom.

If you are guilty of being a habitual "time-waster" at work, then it's time to find a new job. The common denominator with all ten points listed above is that the professional committing these workplace crimes isn't being engaged or challenged enough in his career. Watching the clock isn't what you want your career to be about, so find a profession that utilizes your talents, sparks your interest, and challenges you on a daily basis.

2013 Butler Men's Soccer Schedule
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. -- The Butler men's soccer team will be challenged early and often by a 2013 schedule that features a new conference, five first-time foes and a significant portion of last year's NCAA Tournament field. The Bulldogs will play 18 regular season matches and two exhibition contests during the upcoming slate.
The 2013 Butler schedule features ten teams that competed in last year's NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship, including three of the tournament's "Final Four" teams. At the top of that list is defending national champion Indiana. The Hoosiers will visit the Butler Bowl on Wednesday, Sept. 25, for a match that will start at 7:30 p.m.
Also visiting Butler this fall are national semifinalist Creighton (Oct. 23) and tournament teams Brown (Sept. 22), St. John's (Oct. 26) and Xavier (Nov. 8). Other NCAA Tournament teams on this year's Butler schedule are national runner-up Georgetown (Oct. 19), Marquette (Oct. 9), Louisville (Sept. 6) and Northwestern (Sept. 15). The Bulldogs also will face NCAA Tournament team Michigan State in an exhibition match in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Aug. 24.
"This year's schedule is extremely challenging, perhaps the toughest Butler has ever faced," said Butler's third-year head coach Paul Snape. "The non-conference schedule includes some familiar rivals and several national powerhouses and that should help us get ready for a very, very tough conference schedule."
Butler will meet Eastern Illinois in an exhibition match at the Butler Bowl on Aug. 19, and then open the regular season at home with a match against first-time foe Western Michigan on Aug. 30. That will be the first of four non-conference home matches for the Bulldogs. Houston Baptist will make its first visit to the Butler Bowl on Sept. 9, followed by the matches with Brown and Indiana.
"Our fans will be treated to some of the highest-calibre soccer in the whole country," added Snape. "Obviously, Indiana is the national champ, but there are other great teams coming to Butler and our fans will have a chance to see soccer played at a very high level."
Butler's non-conference road slate includes matches at IUPUI (Sept. 3), Northern Illinois (Sept. 13) and Evansville (Oct. 1), in addition to the Northwestern and Louisville contests.
And for the second straight year, Butler will be heading into a new conference. After one season in the Atlantic 10 Conference, the Bulldogs will begin play in the new BIG EAST, arguably one of the top men's soccer leagues in the nation. The new, 10-team league features national semifinalists Georgetown and Creighton, plus NCAA Tournament teams Xavier, Marquette and St. John's.
Butler will open BIG EAST play at home against first-time opponent Villanova on Sept. 28. The Bulldogs also will host DePaul on Oct. 5, in addition to the matches against Creighton, St. John's and Xavier. Butler's conference road slate begins at Marquette and includes matches against first-time foes Seton Hall (Oct. 12), Georgetown and Providence (Nov. 2). The BIG East Conference Tournament will begin on Nov. 12.

Immigration officials arrest more than 3,100
Tuesday, April 03, 2012
- Organization: Washington Post
- Link: http://www.washingtonpost.com
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Monday that they had arrested more than 3,100 criminals and others living in the country illegally, the largest such effort in the agency's history, adding fuel to the national debate over the Obama administration's stepped-up deportation policies.
The six-day operation — dubbed "Cross Check" — nabbed 3,168 offenders across the nation, including in all 50 states, three territories and the District of Columbia. Of those, 1,477 taken into custody had felony convictions such as murder, manslaughter, attempted murder, kidnapping, child abuse, assault and other offenses.

Rand: Navy must hasten cyber defense acquisitions
The Navy needs a new Defense Department-approved acquisition process for cybersecurity, not just a revised version of existing procedures, says the Rand Corp. in a report commissioned by the DoD.
In the report (.pdf), Rand suggests the Navy address emerging and imminent cybersecurity threats by splitting IT acquisitions into three categories: those that must be complete in less than 30 days, such as virus definition updates and simple patches; acquisitions that must complete in less than six months, including things like operating system service packs; and those that can or will take longer, such as integrated system replacements.
The report says current testing, certification and accreditation phases cause significant delays for systems that need more immediate protection, such as responding to new threats like worms. It suggests a tiered approach can remove some delays by using vendor and software requirements specifically made for time-sensitive needs.
Another aspect that must be sped-up, says the report, is funding. The Navy should use fleet commanders' large, flexible operations and maintenance budgets to pay for software upgrades or patches for emerging needs, says the report.
There are steps the Navy can take to make the entire process smoother, says the report. These include working with contractors to develop incentives for rapid contracting operations, giving more oversight to program managers, allocating real-world testing facilities such as docked ships and considering options like vendor scorecards that can maintain information on a vendor's ability to deliver rapid cyber capabilities.

Hey Lovelies!
How's it going? I just spent the past half an hour writing this post and then when I was ready to publish it, everything I wrote got deleted argh! Oh,well lets try this again, shall we?
I was telling you that evey muscle in my body hurts, even the little tiny one that I didn't know exsisted are killing me. It's a good pain though. It's a pain that reminds me off how hard I worked this week so I'm satisfied even when in pain.
I have added a new step to my diet and that is called Vega meal replacement. I am suppose to "eat" this instead of two meals a day. I usually always drink it for breakfast and the for lunch or dinner depending on how hungry I am or what my plans are that day. One of these "meals" has 240 calories but let me tell you it is very filling so that's good. I was worried that maybe I would be walking around hungry but it's all good so far. The only downside of the Vega supplement is that I don't really enjoy the taste of it. There is a few flavours to choose from and I chose Vanilla but was not to impressed. Oh well, it's not forever I'll be drinking this.
Today, I am having a little bit of a relaxing day. I am going to clean up my house a little and then head out to buy a birthday gift as well as I'm going to check out some watches. I want to get another watch and there are three models of that brand that I want to have a look at. It's a quite expensive watch so I want to make sure that I choose the one I really Love! Later on in the evening I'm going out for dinner at a steak house so trust me Vega it is for breakfast and lunch because I am so eating steak tonight! I don't think I have been this excited to eat out in a while. Usually I like to eat home cooked food because I know what goes in it and usually it is more healthy but today I need a break from drinking Vega and have some real food instead.
OK, time to drink my second coffee and start cleaning so I can go down town after, have a lovely day!

Universal Orlando Resort announced Wednesday they will be bringing a 36-hole miniature golf course to City Walk by early 2012.
The course, creatively named, Hollywood Drive-In Golf, is being designed by Universals creative team and they said the two state-of-the art 18-hole courses will be unlike any other mini golf experience.
We created Hollywood Drive-In to be fun and different and something everyone can enjoy, said Ric Florell, senior vice president and general manager of resort revenue operations. We used creative theming and state-of-the-art technology to take the experience to the next level. Its perfect for Universal CityWalk whether you are playing at 11am or 11pm.
The course is described as being inspired by the classic drive-in movie era.
Golfers will find themselves submersed into an environment based on the vintage horror flicks and little green men science fiction films of the 1950s.
The courses are appropriately named The Haunting of Ghostly Greens and Invaders From Planet Putt, and as the golfers are playing, they will pass through a cemetery, under a giant spider, through a flying saucer and into the basement lab in a haunted house.
The courses are including interactive elements and special effects.
Guests will be able to play both night and day because it will be edged with LED lights.

Third party platforms are an ideal way to promote branded content hosted on your own website. Just ensure though that you think in advance about what content you are sharing and how it will drive traffic to your site.
Brands have told stories online for as long as the internet has existed. Recent technological changes, however, abetted by evolving reader habits, have meant that the way in which brands creates stories online has entered a new and exciting era.
The days of producinglower quality content as quickly as possible in order to be first - a kind of digital land grab – are giving way to new phase where brands can unveil intelligent, innovative, immersive content that is rooted in their core values. Here are the reasons why storytelling is changing.
1 The arrival of the tablet PC - It is an obvious thing to say, but tablets make it easier for brands, or anyone else, to tell stories online. The way that people navigate tablets, via flicking on a touch screen, replicates the movement that humans have used for centuries while reading books. For people to immerse themselves in stories requires them to be comfortable and tablets give us a large screen that can be used pretty much anywhere – just like a book.
2 The growing popularity of longform content – From BuzzFeed to The Guardian talk to any mainstream publisher at the current time and chances are they will be enthusing about longform content. Put simply longform is another word for stories that take reader more than a few minutes to digest. The story could be several thousand words or it might be an interactive multimedia post with images, video and graphics. In a world of digital noise longform content underlines that publishers, and indeed brands, take storytelling very seriously.
The New York Times recently published a storytelling experiment in the guise of this content rich story about The South China Sea. It blends conventional journalism with multimedia elements (pictures, maps, video, graphics, GIFs) to take people on a journey through a story, complete with different chapters.
Other publishers that have unveiled immersive multi platform storytelling experiments include music website Pitchfork, which has used interactive elements in its stories, perhaps most successfully in an interview with Bat for Lashes singer, Natasha Khan and the BBC in its Arms Wide Open special about Rio.
3 New technological platforms for storytellers – The most high profile launch of a platform for storytellers that celebrates longform content is Medium. Created by the founders of Twitter and Blogger, it concentrates on packaging lengthy and interesting stories by subject rather than recency. Realising that people's time is precious, however, it tells them how long it will take them to read the article and at the end directs them to other similar articles they may find interesting.
There will be lot more of this type of content too as new technological platforms emerge which make it easier for brands to blend words, images video and graphics in a seamless way.
Shorthand has already worked with a number of clients including the BBC and The Guardian and will launch formally shortly. It is essentially the Wordpress (blogging platform) for longform content in that it is, so its makers say, simple and intuitive to use. Yet, if the BBC example is anything to go by, is capable of delivering quite stunning interactive stories.
4 Readers are more open to storytelling from brands – It is a moot point, but as brands have begun to understand how storytelling can be used to connect with their customers, so consumers seem to have developed more of interest in hearing about the evolution of brands. Take the recent Bacardi advertising campaigns which takes the reader behind the scenes of the brand and explains its turbulent, and in many ways fascinating history.
Brands have also experimented with offering their take on important national stories. Coca Cola stayed true to its brand mantra about 'making the world a better place' in its story '1 million reasons to believe in Thailand' launched after the country's Tsunami.
5 Changing Video opportunities – Twenty years ago brand video storytelling was largely about making short iconic ads that were played in between TV shows. The web has of course changed all that and brands can now experiment with video in many different lengths from ten second snippets on Instagram to much longer mini documentaries.
In the UK Honda recently pioneered a series of animated films, which can be split up into segments, that show an engineer's hands playing with Honda products and in the process viewers see the story of Honda's landmark achievements. This includes some of its early racing vehicles, the original Honda Civic and the humanoid robot Asimo.
Across the pond Intel's The Beauty Inside, is a 'social movie' that centered on a guy named Alex who wakes up every day with a new face and body. Meanwhile mobile phone chip maker Qualcomm has been using video to tell behind the scenes stories of its technological innovation at its Spark site.
In one of the most ambitious brand videos ever Jaguar harnessed director Ridley Scott to create Desire, a thirteen minute mini movie that combined a great plot with subtle but intelligent product placements for its new F-Type car.

A male eastern black rhinoceros calf was born July 1 at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and the birth marks the start of a third generation of rhinos there.
The calf, which has yet to be named, is the offspring of Kibibbi, 8, and Jimma, 22, and it makes the Zoo's other female adult rhino, Inge, a grandmother.
The proposed names for rhino calf are:
Bakari - noble promise
Hasani - handsome
Jimbi - combination of parents' names, Kibibbi (mother) and Jimma (father)
Juba - brave
Kito - precious child
The zoo needs your help to name the new rhino calf.

The calf weighed about 80 pounds at birth and is growing fast. He already tips the scales at about 150 pounds. When he is fully grown, he will weigh about 3,000 pounds.
