Greet all.
I have a dot MOBI domain with the format of [a-state/province-name].mobi , thinking about create a website for that domain.
Seeking advice of content strategy for such domain.
What might be a good fit? e.g Travel info? Local news for mobile device? ...
Your 2 cent will be appreciated.
Really the sky is the limit on what you can do. What services or information areas are under-serviced in your state/province? You might consider looking at news, but first make sure that local T.V. and newspapers are already not offering mobile news services, because they can likely 'beat you up' in terms of types and regularity of news updates.
Is there a niche market or area in your province or state that you have knowledge about? If so, then maybe consider doing something in regards to this niche area.
You need to find something that people will want to visit on their mobiles.
Thank you ServerStorm, inspired.
You could also think of providing information on motels, hotels, hospitals etc, the most sought places which people usually look out for using mobiles. This information wouldn't consume much of the database space and at the same time it would be a vital piece of information.
Good idea. Thanks for the idea.

Video: A Time for Choosing (1964)
Not yet rated
Televised Campaign Address for Goldwater Presidential Campaign - 10/27/64. A Time for Choosing, also known as The Speech, was a pre-written speech presented on a number of occasions during the 1964 U.S. presidential election campaign by future president Ronald Reagan on behalf of Republican candidate Barry Goldwater. Many versions of the speech exist, as it was altered over many weeks. Contrary to popular belief, however, the speech was not given at the 1964 Republican National Convention in San Francisco, California as a nomination speech for Barry Goldwater. Richard Nixon gave that nomination speech. Reagan, though he campaigned for Goldwater, did not use "A Time for Choosing" until October 27, 1964, when it was part of a pre-recorded television program, Rendezvous with Destiny. In his autobiography Reagan recalled going to bed that night "hoping I hadn't let Barry down." But "A Time for Choosing," replayed throughout the final week of the campaign, raised $8 million for Goldwater and launched Reagan's political career. Soon afterward, Reagan was asked to run for governor of California. To this day, this speech is considered one of the most effective ever made on behalf of a candidate. Nevertheless, Barry Goldwater lost the election by one of the largest margins in history. Reagan was later called the "Great Communicator" in recognition of his effective speech-making skills.

VietNamNet Bridge – In recent days, people fished tons of dead fish of the Buoi River upstream in Thach Lam commune, Thach Thanh district, Thanh Hoa province.
According to local people, fish began dying on the night of December 7. Local people rowed boats to collect dead fish. They sold big fish to the market and used the small fish as cattle feed.
"Hemibagrus of 2-3 kg agonized on the water surface and died. We could use bare hand to catch them, which are usually very strong. Not only hemibagrus, other fish also died en masse on the river," said a local man – Bui Van Quyet.
According to locals, this phenomenon did not happen before. "On the morning of December 8, the villagers went to the river and saw dead fish floating on the river. We called each other to use boats to collect fish. Some people picked up hundreds of kilos of fish a day," Quyet added.
Locals said that before the fish died, the water on the Buoi River suddenly changed into dark color, with an unpleasant odor.
Mr. Le Huy Duong, Chair of Thach Lam commune, said: "It is very strange that fish of up to 3-4 kg also died. Local people collected several tons of dead fish."
Duong said he had reported the phenomenon to the district government and some environment police officers came to collect water for testing.
Currently, there are still a lot of dead fish floating on the water. Along the riverbank, the smell is very terrible.
Mr. Tran Xuan Hai, technical manager of the cassava plant, said that waste water is processed in an 80,000cu.m biogas tank and the plant only discharges about 1,000cu.m of treated waste water to the river.
This plant has four wastewater reservoirs. The water here is always dark and smells. There is a flow of water from the plant to a reservoir and to the Buoi River. Hai explained that this is the water to wash cassava so it does not affect the environment.
Mr. Nguyen Quang Thai, Director of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Environmental Protection Division said that all production facilities in the upstream area of the Buoi River would be inspected.
"We will strictly punish the polluting facility but currently we are investigating because there are several pulp plants in the upstream area," Thai said, adding that this is the first time fish dying en masse in the Buoi River.
In related news, three toothpick, chopstick and pulp plants discharging untreated waste water to the Ma River, in Quan Hoa district, Thanh Hoa province have been temporarily closed.

Campbell's to Pay Homage to Warhol's Soup Can Art at Target in September
The commemorative cans
In the early 1960s, Andy Warhol's Campbell's soup can paintings were a spectacularly ordinary counterpoint to any number of lush, sophisticated still-lifes of bowls of laboriously arranged fruit. Warhol wasn't about commentary. He was genuinely enamored of the commonplace and ubiquitous. And he actually did enjoy Campbell's, having once claimed in an interview to have consumed a can for lunch every day for 20 years.
How fitting then that to commemorate the 50-year-anniversary of Warhol's soup triumph, Campbell's is releasing -- for the month of September -- limited edition soup cans inspired by Warhol's creations.
A fleet of designers employed by Campbell's have collaborated with the Andy Warhol Foundation on the labels, which evoke Warhol's 1965 ventures into more psychedelic color schemes. The limited edition cans will contain real soup (we would hope) and sell for 75 cents apiece -- only at Target and only for the month of September.
Entertainment Weekly says the "hipster cans" are part of a Campbell's mission to woo younger customers. We can't see it happening. Sure, a few cans will fly off the shelves in September, but will 20-somethings really get hooked for the long haul on a tomato soup that tastes like ketchup thinned with half-and-half?

Little girls or little women? The Disney princess effect
September 24, 2011
The Christian Science Monitor
A few years ago, Mary Finucane started noticing changes in the way her 3-year-old daughter played. The toddler had stopped running and jumping, and insisted on wearing only dresses. She sat on the front step quietly - waiting, she said, for her prince. She seemed less imaginative, less spunky, less interested in the world.
Ms. Finucane believes the shift began when Caoimhe (pronounced Keeva) discovered the Disney Princesses, that omnipresent, pastel packaged franchise of slender-waisted fairy-tale heroines. When Finucane mentioned her suspicions to other parents, they mostly shrugged.
"Everyone seemed to think it was inevitable," Finucane says. "You know, it was Disney Princesses from [ages] 2 to 5, then Hannah Montana, then 'High School Musical.' I thought it was so strange that these were the new trajectories of female childhood."
She decided to research the princess phenomenon, and what she found worried her. She came to believe that the $4 billion Disney Princess empire was the first step down a path to scarier challenges, from self-objectification to cyberbullying to unhealthy body images. Finucane, who has a background in play therapy, started a blog - "Disney Princess Recovery: Bringing Sexy Back for a Full Refund" - to chronicle her efforts to break the grip of Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, et al. on her household.
Within months she had thousands of followers.
"It was validating, in a sense, that a lot of parents were experiencing it," she says. "It was this big force entering our lives so early, with such strength. It concerned me for what was down the road."
Finucane's theory about Disney Princesses is by no means universal. Many parents and commentators defend Happily Ever After against what some critics call a rising "feminist attack," and credit the comely ladies with teaching values such as kindness, reading, love of animals, and perseverance.
If there's any doubt of the controversy surrounding the subject, journalist Peggy Orenstein mined a whole book ("Cinderella Ate My Daughter") out of the firestorm she sparked in 2006 with a New York Times essay ("What's Wrong With Cinderella?").

DIRECTOR/CHOREOGRAPHER: Jason Gilkison
VENUE: The Mandela at Joburg Theatre
UNTIL: August 19.
RATING: **** (and a glitter ball)
Somehow, second time around Burn the Floor seems smarter, sassier and sexier. The subtitle, "The Temperature Rises", is no idle promise.
For this return (now national), tour there have been a few cast changes, at least one new Latin number and a pair of red-hot new percussionists, but this show defies being stuck in a formula.
What is so refreshing is that the nine couples are not just bashing out dance-sport competition numbers or stage routines. The high-octane dancing (which admittedly starts on a contrived note in the auditorium) oozes spontaneity and enjoyment. After all, ballroom and Latin are essentially social dance forms.
And the men, like the amazing Santo Costa, who exudes macho elegance, look like the guy from the office or the building site.
Under the lights, bare-chested, with open shirts, and even in torn jeans, they rip into the cha cha, the samba, the swing, the rumba, you name it, with consummate artistry fused with Broadway show dance dynamics.
At the heart of this Australian phenomenon is artistic director and choreographer Jason Gilkison's razzle dazzle choreography and the very clever, often very cheeky, costume design and superb, never overpowering, lighting.
The paso doble, all capes and testosterone, is a stunner.
An extra treat for South Africans is the addition of Mabopane's Keoikantse Motsepe, paired with the experienced Australian KallyAnne Browne. Motsepe, with just the right buffed body, has loads of technique thanks to his Latin American champion pedigree and, most importantly, an electric stage presence and intelligence to match.
If you're into no-holds-barred showmanship, inventive dance (which puts retro on a serious roll) and theatrical mastery, Burn the Floor is not to be missed.
• The show moves to Durban next: Playhouse Opera Theatre, August 22 to September 2.

Pricing carbon emissionsThe problem: It's free to pollute
Many environmentalists and economists agree that putting a price on greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most powerful tools we have in the fight against climate change. That's because pricing carbon pollution addresses one of the fundamental problems in Canada: there are currently no limits to the amount of pollution that can be spewed into the atmosphere and there are no costs associated with this pollution.
Just as we pay a fee to throw our garbage into the landfill, connecting a cost to pollute the atmosphere creates an incentive to avoid polluting and spurs innovation in cleaner technology.
The two most commonly discussed methods of pricing carbon are a carbon tax and cap-and-trade approach. Both approaches, if well-designed, are among the most powerful incentives governments have to encourage companies and households to pollute less and invest in cleaner choices. Although both these tools make polluting activities more expensive, they make green technologies more affordable.
Carbon pricing through a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system can improve fairness since it is based on the "polluter-pay principle", where individuals and companies are faced with the full social costs of their actions
Benefits of putting a strong price signal on carbon pollution
Fight climate change
By putting a strong price on carbon through a carbon tax or a shrinking cap on emissions, governments can save lives and protect communities from the threat of climate change, including extreme weather events like flooding and intense drought. This action can also transform Canada's industrial facilities into leaders in energy-efficiency and cutting-edge clean technologies. This is critical because about half of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions come from industry sources.
Save lives with cleaner air
Action to reduce fossil fuel pollution will also reduce smog, save lives and reduce the risk of disease such as asthma. The Canadian Medical Association estimated that in 2008 Canada's air pollution was responsible for 21,000 premature deaths, 92,000 emergency room visits and 620,000 visits to a doctor's office. Today, more than 13 per cent of Canadian children suffer from asthma.
Create thousands of jobs in clean energy
Lastly, our federal and provincial governments could position Canada at the forefront of the clean-energy economy, one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, with an annual growth rate of 30 per cent during the past decade. This global trend offers an exciting opportunity for Canada to be the "build it" nation when it comes to solutions to global warming versus being the "buy it" nation of clean technologies if action is delayed.
Fuelled by rising demand for clean, secure energy sources, investment in clean energy technologies totalled $269 billion worldwide in 2012. The clean-energy sector has also been one of the most resilient during the recent global recession as countries around the world have pursued low-carbon infrastructure and clean energy as a primary strategy for economic recovery.
More Efficient
Many Canadian business leaders are in favour of carbon pricing, as it offers a flexible and least-cost approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A carbon tax and/or cap-and-trade system can encourage rapid cost-effective investments to reduce emissions, through actions such as investing in a green technology or changing behaviours or business practices.
Carbon pricing is crucial but must be supported by other solutionsPricing carbon emissions forms the foundation of any effective government strategy to reduce global warming emissions, but it must be supported by other solutions. A credible climate action plan must also include energy-efficiency standards for buildings and vehicles, financial incentives for home-energy improvements and renewable energy, and investments in public transit. These solutions are essential to get clean, renewable energy and sustainable transportation technologies into use in Canada.
It's also important to ensure that a carbon-pricing system is fair to low-income households, which are at risk of being disproportionately affected because a larger share of their incomes goes toward energy bills. However, a well-designed carbon-pricing approach can protect low-income families by recycling a portion of the revenues back to low-income households.

By NATHANIEL C. NASH,
Published: August 19, 1992
BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 18— More than a year after President Carlos Saul Menem promised to end an Argentine armed forces program to build a medium-range ballistic missile, the Government has yet to destroy key components of the missile.
Officials here say that the solid-core first stage of 14 missiles that were produced in the secretive operation remain in storage at the Falda del Carmen development grounds near the central city of Cordoba, and that they have yet to come up with a plan for destroying them.
Moreover, they acknowledge that a smaller number of sophisticated missile guidance systems bought by the Argentine Air Force from French contractors are still unaccounted for.
Government officials speculate that either the guidance systems were passed to representatives of the Iraqi Government, which financed large parts of the project, or have been hidden by project Air Force officers who opposed the abandonment of the missile program, called Condor II. Official Says Project Is Dead
But a Government official who spoke on condition that he not be named said that "the Condor really is dead, even though like the Phoenix it tends to rise up from time to time."
Argentine officials say they have been told by the United States that after the Persian Gulf war they were told that a missile plant that contained parts of the Condor II project was found in Iraq.
The missile, with a range of more than 600 miles and a payload of 1,000 pounds, is considered much more acurate than the Soviet-designed Scud missiles used by Iraq in the gulf war.
Argentina has adopted new laws that prohibit the transfer of missile, nuclear and other sensitive technology, and has been praised by the United States and other countries for halting a shipment of nuclear reactor material to Iran earlier this year. The cancellation was particularly painful to Argentina, since Iran buys more than $500 million in grain from Argentina every year and some farmers have had their contracts canceled or delayed.
But the Menem Government is still caught in a political struggle over the final destruction of Condor II parts. Pressure on Argentina
Condor II, a project that has so far cost more than $200 million, was begun by the Air Force during the last years of the Argentine military government and continued under former President Raul Alfonsin. Much of the financing was provided by Egypt and Iraq and much of the technology was bought illegally from German companies.
The project came to light in 1988 and since then the United States, Britain, France and other countries have put considerable pressure on Argentina to halt and destroy the project.
But for many Argentines, the Condor II represents the supreme expression of technological advancement and millions of dollars of costly investment. Abandoning the project at the urging of the United States and other countries with strong nonproliferation policies is seen as yielding to Yankee imperialism and abandoning the country's technological patrimony. Fuel to Be Disposed Of
The Government has been searching for a way to dispose of the solid-fuel rocket engines. Suggestions to inject cement into the engines was rejected by the United States and other Western nations.
Urged to simply blow up the boosters at Falda del Carmen, officials argued that the explosions would be heard by the more than one million people living in Cordoba, which is also a stronghold for the opposition Radical Civic Union, which in June scored an election upset over Mr. Menem's Peronist Party.
"You can imagine that we don't want a series of explosions going off with everyone knowing about it and saying, 'Well, there goes the Condor.' " said one top Government official.
The approach now considered the most likely is an agreement with Spain. The two countries recently signed an accord to work on development of space technology and satellites. Spain is authorized under the international Missile Technology Control Regime to develop satellite rocket launchers. Some have suggested that the Condor engines could be used in those launches. But others say that the Condor is too small to launch a large satellite into space. A Concern of the West
Argentine officials say they might simply ship the missile parts to Spain for destruction there.
What concerns Western officials most is that the political bind of the Menem Government has created a go-easy policy on thoroughly investigating that handful of officials in the Air Force who headed up the project and would most likely know the whereabouts of missing Condor parts.
"The Government has no control over what the Air Force took and hid away," said one military experts who insisted on anonymity.
"This has been politically a painful process, but the thinking is that we have to build credibility that we are a responsible country and that over time the results will start coming in," a Government official said.
Some of the results are already appearing. The United States, through NASA, is currently working with Argentina on the development of solar research satellite. And within a few weeks both countries hope to sign a nuclear cooperation agreement that will permit joint research and development projects

CLEARWATER — If a dog were to accompany a restaurant chef to work, most people would have no problem with a state inspector kicking the dog to the curb.
But when the food vendor happens to be a gas station, and its offerings stop at cans of Coke and bags of Doritos, and the dog is a charismatic chocolate Labrador named Cody, the response evolves into a public outcry — against the state.
"Thumbs down on the Department of Agriculture. Tackle some real problems. Human customers bring more contamination — not to mention danger — than a well-cared-for pooch," said Merrilee Dulaney, one of the many people unhappy with news.
Another St. Petersburg Times reader, Barbara Wise of Palm Harbor, said Cody's story affected her so deeply, she felt personally hurt when she learned of the dog's departure.
"That dog probably created more goodwill than 10 people put together. Our country certainly needs that now, especially with so many people having such a hard time right now," Wise said.
On Thursday, Karim Mansour, the owner of the Clearwater BP gas station and convenience store at U.S. 19 and Nursery Road, was told by an inspector with the Florida Department of Agriculture to stop bringing his dog, Cody, to work. After a November story in the Times introduced thousands to Cody, who greets customers at the store's drive-through window with a tail wag, the dog became a local celebrity.
Now, Mansour has found himself and his 6-year-old, floppy-eared best friend at the center of a debate between what some consider overzealous code enforcement, and rules meant to keep the public healthy.
On Friday, many concerned for Cody stopped by Mansour's store to offer condolences, and in some cases, gifts for the prematurely retired canine store clerk.
"People have been coming by with treats. A woman stopped by with a sweater for Cody," Mansour said.
One woman in Oldsmar, Jane Haines, spoke with a lawyer about putting together a petition to perhaps alter the food codes preventing Cody from going to work.
"It's heavenly to have that dog there to protect the owners from thieves and muggers and all those nasty people out there," Haines said. "We need more smiles in our society. And that dog did it for people."
Terence McElroy, Department of Agriculture spokesman, confirmed that nobody has filed any complaints about Cody, and said the Thursday visit by food inspectors was likely prompted by a supervisor's concerns. McElroy said he did not know of any directive from any official to check up on Mansour's store because of news coverage about the dog.
With the court of public opinion at his back, Mansour said he would pursue all of his options in finding a way for Cody to return. Mansour stayed home Friday morning with Cody, who he said was "mopey" about being stuck on the couch.
More than a dozen Times readers, including this reporter's mother, suggested Mansour seek out special training and certification for Cody to become a service dog. That way, the dog would be exempt from health department regulations, since he would no longer count as a pet, but as a medical aid.
Mansour said that could be a real possibility, since he is currently being treated for a medical condition that could be assuaged with the assistance of a service dog. Mansour said in a way, emotionally, physically and mentally, having his dog with him at work was already plenty therapeutic — not to mention offering peace of mind, considering his store has been robbed more than once.
Paul Bowskill, a representative of Service Dogs America, a company that offers education in certifying dogs as service animals, said according to the Americans With Disabilities Act, if a health inspector is told a dog provides a bona fide service, removing the animal could be considered discrimination against the human in need of the animal's help.
"If he has a physician who certifies he has a need, then he can be okay," Bowskill said.

my aunt always uses this and has it around her house. i dont know what the appeal of this product is, bc it never did anything for me. it's greasy and thick. but she has super dry skin so maybe thats why she likes it. me, i have combo skin & sensitivity to anything with mineral oil in it. because it makes me breakout in little white bumps. so i avoid it. im sure it'd be good to apply on your body like knees elbows and hands but i wouldnt put it near my face. which is a shame bc its cheap (prolly bc it mostly contains mineral oil which is also cheap) and i love the packaging!! the little blue tin is cute & portable . but i dont use it.

Fewer 16-year-olds are registering for driver's licenses in Illinois, according to Chicago Breaking News… but why?
[In 2006] Illinois lawmakers doubled the number of hours — to 50 from 25 — of adult-supervised driving required before a driver with a learner's permit could get a license. The next year, the number of 16-year-olds with licenses dropped by nearly 5 percent — to 74,675 from 78,250 — even though the state's teen population increased.
Then, on Jan. 1, 2008, Illinois imposed a sweeping overhaul of teen driving laws, the heart of which tripled the length of time — to 9 months from 3 months — a teen driver must possess a learner's permit before acquiring a license. That year, the number of 16-year-olds with licenses dropped again, this time by 17 percent, to 61,862.
The decrease is continuing. The Illinois secretary of state's office estimates that fewer than 60,000 driver's licenses were issued to 16-year-olds in 2009.
The usual economy and internet-based explanations are trotted out, but it seems that mandating supervised driving hours keeps kids out of cars. And though that's good news for Illinois drivers, it's certainly not a trend that the auto industry wants to see followed. After all, safety is a box on an option list, not something that reduces demand for cars, right? On the other hand, just because kids aren't registering for driver's licenses, doesn't mean they're not driving. Should we do away with mandatory supervision to drive the market for cars, or should supervised hours or a more thorough form of mandatory training be instituted? Or, should the legal driving age simply be moved up to 18? Better yet, forget the politics: do you let your 16 year-old drive, and if so how do you prepare them?

Aren't you just postponing the inevitable by trying to keep young adults from driving until they reach an older young adult age? I don't see much difference between an inexperienced 16 y/o behind the wheel and the same inexperienced individual two years later.

Current research shows that there is an enormous difference between teens and young adults in the area of the brain responsible for decision making. This area is not well developed until about the age of 20. Keeping impulsive teens out of the driver's seat for a few years makes a huge difference. This does leave the question of whether they'll still get excited about driving later in life.

Growing up (decades ago) in a western, rural, agrarian state, I was issued a license at age 14. I couldn't wait. Nor was I ready. Imagine then, had I been a "farm kid", I could have had my license as early as age 12.
Today in Illinois, I've had many conversations with parents about the strict new licensure requirments they (the parents) and their children must meet. Like homework projects issued by eager young teachers, much of the burden falls on the parents to complete, provide, or assist Junior with. That, right there, is a fairly large reason why the teen driver numbers are down in Illinois.
But then, I ask the kids, "Are you getting your learner's permit soon? Are you excited!" (Because I know I was at that age.)
Their respense, "Meh."
They don't care. The car, which for me and my friends was the tool we used to meet and socialize, no longer is.
I know kids in college in Illinois who have yet to get their license. "What's the point?" they ask. "As long as I have a few friends who drive, why should I go through the trouble or expense?"
Why indeed? It seems, then, that the car is the new "boat." The best kind to have the one in your friend's driveway.
Much to my petrolhead dismay, the car has lost out to Facebook, Twitter, Skype, IM, text messaging and all the other social media technologies. These, not the car, are the instruments that serve to bond kids. It's a virtual world for them. The car is yestertech. "Like, when you actually have to GO somewhere, lol."
It still seems hard for me to comprehend. "You mean, you'd rather hang out with a couple friends in the basement and bang on your cellphone pads all night than run around in a car, like my Porsche?"
"What's a Porsche?" one teenage girl asked, not even slowing her fiddling thumbs for a second.
"Get off my lawn," I murmered under my breath. Wait, I'm at my neighbor's house, I remembered.
So there you have it. On one hand, the numbers are down because of the drag on parents' time. On the other, the kids really don't care any more. As long as Mom and Dad are paying for their minutes or high speed wifi, and are available to drive them around, then the once-cherished drivers license is No. Big. Deal.

Our daughters both drove at 16 in Houston, and it terrified us. There is a large body of data supporting delaying driving to at least 18. Even older is better still. Kids really are not developmentally ready and generally do not have sufficient judgment at 16 to operate a car safely. Of course there are exceptions. The same reasoning about brain development is why society tries to prevent drinking before age 21.

Completely disagree. Kids will rise or fall to the expectations set for them. And too many parents aren't willing to set high expectations, and then follow it up and enforce the rules when they are broken. And they will be broken because teenagers are teenagers.
As a society we tend to baby and coddle our children far too much, and this by default sets low expectations for them learning how to make decisions, make mistakes and learn from their mistakes. Look at all the "helicopter" parents who barely let their teenagers decide what color of shirt to wear in the morning, let alone where to go to college or what sport to play.
I spent 9 year on active duty in the US Navy, a lot of it on aircraft carriers where the average age of the crew is, like, 20. And these 18, 19 and 20 year olds – not even of legal drinking age yet – were responsible for maintaining $40 million combat aircraft, arming them with bombs and missiles, and shooting them off the catapults and recovering them when they returned. And guess what.These "kids" rose to the responsibilities expected of them. And did so magnificently.

Completely disagree too. Would you rather her drive to college as her first driving experience? No one does the math. Most 16 year old driving is within 10 miles of the house. Most 18 year old driving is 100s of miles away.

I had the argument before: that the lower costs of owning an automobile resulted in higher youth employment than in Europe. No summer jobs in your town — drive 3 over. Need an after school job: get a car (or get a job to get the car!) Getting people early on the working path is the best way to avoid welfare.
The point about facebook is very true — heavily structured after-school time also has something to do with it for a small minority of kids.

Both my daughters got licenses at 16 here in Maine. Both had some driving experience prior to that age, but not much (farm and island). They drove in winter as well as summer, and generally did well. 2 very minor fender-benders (same daughter). They were restricted to an old F-150 4WD and my wife's AWD Grand Caravan until they were ready for the stick shift, which is what they both drive today.
I believe in a graduated license, but think that starting out at 16 is fine, as long as they have a healthy respect for the job at hand. If they don't, the parents should hold them back.

First. Ohio had a 50 hour requirement when my kids turned 16. They all complied with it with me sitting shotgun.
Second. There is a lot of neurological and psychological evidence that shows 16 year olds are not mature enough to handle automobile driving on modern crowded highways.
Our ancestors who delayed full adulthood until 21 were closer to right in that respect.
If I had my druthers, driving and voting would be at older ages and drinking at younger.

Ummm no. Our ancestors did not delay full adulthood until 21. Our ancestors conferred full adulthood at much younger ages than we did. By necessity with shorter lifesoans and higher mortality rates people didn't have the luxury of waiting so many years before taking full societal responsibility.

How far are you going back? In historical terms, only very, very recently has 21 been less than middle-aged. As in you'll be lucky to make it another 21 years.
The military (ours included) would love to have you as a soldier at 13 or 14. Young, dumb, and fulla…
We currently place 18 yos in harm's way, and give them the ultimate control of weapons that god would own, if only he could afford them. Alexander the Great has assumed the throne by age 20, if memory serves.
Yes, it'd be nice if we all hatched, slightly post-pubescent with the wisdom we have at, say, 40. But it doesn't work like that.
Growing up is messy. Life is messy. We're all going to die – some far too young, and some far later than they deserved.

I personally don't see much point in mandating adult-supervised driving in the first place. Most adults don't seem to be much better drivers than any of the high school kids I see tooling around. Are they more experienced? You could say that, but I say they've just had more time to settle into their bad habits. Once a kid learns how to physically operate a car, all that's really left to do is work out the initial jitters, and I don't see how that could be made easier by spending more time with a nagging parent trying to drive for you from the passenger seat.
Of course, my opinion is a little biased due to my own experiences learning how to drive. While on my permit at the age of 15, I talked my father into letting my learn how to drive a standard in his '91 Aerostar. Thirty seconds later, I grinded a gear for the first time and that was the end of my stick-shifting lessons forever. The only other adults who taught me to drive were my brother and his best friend who taught me that every drive was a race, and my mother who taught me that every time I sat behind the wheel I was doing something wrong. The only adults who helped me learn to drive in any way were my Class C driving instructor and, several years later, my Class A driving instructor.
In summation: Driving, in my opinion, is something that requires practice, not supervision. If parents prepare their kids for it, the kids should be confident and mature enough to go out on the road and handle themselves without a monkey on their backs. If the kids don't know how to handle themselves, then what good does it do to increase the amount of time they have to spend "learning" from their parents who didn't teach them properly in the first place?

h82w8June 23rd, 2010 at 5:59 pm
So far so good (KOW!) with my 20-year old daughter and 17 year old son. To get them some pre-license experience we allowed them to drive in the country and empty parking lots (with one of us in the passenger seat, of course) starting at age 14, and let them park the car an back out of the garage at home. In my state you're required to take driver's ed (all commercial now – the schools no longer provide DE) prior to getting your license, which they did at age 15. It also helps that state law prohibits non-family passengers in the car until they turn 17.
I think kids rise (or fall) to the level of expectations you give them. Give 'em low expectations and they'll surely meet them; give 'em high expectations and they'll meet those. It's parenting 101: You have to set the rules and expectations clearly, and be prepared to enforce the rules if they are broken.
To help in this regard, my wife and had our kids sign a driving contract on their 16th birthday, and I'd like to think this helped set their minds straight on driving. The contract spells out explicitly what will happen – they lose their driving privileges – if they break the rules spelled out in the contract. It gives my wife and I HUGE leverage over their grades and overall behavior.
My son tested his contract last fall when his grades fell below our stipulated minimum, and indeed we took away the car until he got them back up. He had to ride the bus to school for about three weeks, which he had to pay for and wasn't happy about at all, and if he missed the bus and needed us to take him to school we charged him $5 per ride. Well, it worked. No problems since (at least that we know of).
I'd be happy to provide a copy of the contract for anyone who's interested.

So, if a teenager must have a learner's permit for at least 9 months before acquiring a full license, and (I assume) must wait until age 16 to get the permit, then it makes sense that the number of 16-year-olds with full licenses (that is what is being counted, isn't it?) would decrease. A 16-year-old would have to obtain a permit within three months of his birthday in order to have a chance of having a full license before turning 17, whereas before the change, he would have had nine months to do so.

Ok, being 16, 17, 18, 23, 25, 28… It really comes to the time when the driver understands besides the basic skills to operate a motor vehicle that they are not invincible and have to be considerate of other motorists on the road and be understanding of possible mistakes they might make considering the mistake they make that they don't see. That age varies per individual. I know it took me a bit and thank goodness I did not hurt myself or more importantly someone else in learning that I can die driving. Its not the car its the skill or lack there of the drivers. Still today I recognize I like everyone have my moments of stupidity but as I have gotten older those times have decreased. Unless your on a road by yourself, driving is a very social environment with usually subtle cues for communication. If your on the horn usually your too late.

I have now taught 3 kids to drive in Illinois, the last being under the latest rules.
We drove MORE than the 50 hours because I didn't think Jeff was ready.
To this day, there has not ONE ticket or accident with any of these three kids.
As far as the survey you took, it's all wrong.
THE most tech gadget, internet, texting and facebook kid I have is the one that drives the most.
Meeting friends here, going to a party there.
Just got a call from Katie, she's at the work out center and then is meeting everybody at the whatchamacallit popular restaurant.
Nothing but driving.
Yes, my two boys don't leave the cave/bedroom.
But even they drive to school, sports and friends homes.
So I don't know what neighborhood you live in or what the difference is with your area's kids, but mine drive.
I have 5 cars in the driveway to show for it.
But it's amazing how many parents DON'T do the required driving.
They simply fill out the paperwork and turn it in. My neighbor did/does this.
His daughters have more than 5 accidents between them, one totaled car.

A mere few hours with a half-assed effort by a long-haul trucker with minimal experience himself to train me and three other trainees in the modified semi cab and during daylight hours only during good weather and I was on my own, solo, teaching myself the many intricacies of taking a big-rig across the country during all weather types over every kind of terrain a paved road crossed… and gravel roads in the most remote areas.
21 years old, the minimum allowable by federal law.
Sure, I made mistakes but none that harmed me, others or the semi.
I truly desired to NOT harm ANYBODY for moral reasons.
No tailgating, ever. No logical reason to EVER tailgate!!! Neither have I ever done it in a 4-wheeler.
Speed? I've done it but on the open road with fine road conditions and never at a pace that would create a hazard.
Of course, that was the era of the nation-wide "double-nickle" speed limit; 55 mph maximum.
It was so damnably boring crossing states such as the great plains states almost all truckers exceeded 55 mph when possible.
However, when conditions demanded a slower speed than the posted limit…. alrighty!!!!!! Anything to avoid an "accident." "Wreck" is a better term than "accident" since Prior Proper Planning to Prevent Piss-poor Performance has much truth in that adage.
An attitude that places the well-being of those around you over and above your own desires, if implemented and stuck with, could greatly reduce road fatalities and injuries. But, observe the typical American driver's actions and inactions and guess to what extent they are placing others' well-being over their own wants and desires and concern for others.
Put in enough miles behind the wheel being observant all-the-while and a reasonably intelligent person learns to "read" others' actions, even before those actions occur.
Even the manner a driver is holding their head can give critical clues as to what is likely to happen next, such as a 4-wheeler cutting directly in front of your rig (or car) and slamming on their brakes while staring at an exit sign ahead.
More than once my hitting the brakes before that 4-wheeler jumping in front of me without warning prevent a wreck and may have saved a life.
Experienced truckers with true "trucker ability" have the same or similar tales to tell.
Non-truckers can acquire the skill… reading others and guesstimating what that other driver may do in the next few seconds based upon minimal clues and cues.
Not all folks possess the "situational awareness" required to perform feats of that type.
Even minor things such as hand placement position on the steering wheel can provide critical clues.
With the advent of cell phones for the motoring masses one particularly telling indicator is the brain-dead driver yapping away with their head tilted to the side where the cell phone is planted against their head.
Those drivers tend to be the least aware of their environment/surroundings and more prone to perform the most gawd-awful stupid stunts; more-so than the cell phone user whose head remains in a vertical position.
Watch and observe for yourself.
Of course, exceptions exist in anything to do with humans but tendencies are real and those aware of tendencies enhance their situational awareness.
One place to gain training for situational awareness is in the military with fighter pilots perhaps receiving the most thorough intensive/extensive training in that area.

Driver's license at 16? Hell, I had a pilot's license at 16. Looking back from the far side of 50, the only surprising thing is that I managed to survive until 17. With adult passengers, instructors, etc., I came across as perfectly sober, safe, and highly skilled. Put me in a plane with other (non-pilot) teenagers, however, and I would sometimes start pushing the limits. In a couple of cases, only luck prevented me from making a smoking hole in the ground.
The reason for adult supervision is not to somehow improve the new drivers skills, it's to prevent the group psychosis that occasionally takes over when you get more than one unsupervised teenager in any sort of vehicle…

I barely drove at all with my mother, she was too nervous. My dad was sick, and he let me drive us to and from work the summer before he crashed his car and couldn't drive anymore. He was a very good teacher, having me take all kinds of different routes, side streets, main roads, and interstates, and only making comments when I really did something wrong. When he went into the hospital for a while, my mom called one of the local driving schools, and the owner took me out after school for 2 hours at a crack two or three times a week. My folks decided to keep up the driving lessons, even though the owner said I was more than ready to get my license. Between my dad, the driving school, and a little bit with my sister, I had a lot of hours behind the wheel. When my dad got his insurance cancelled after he passed out driving home one morning, I had my license an hour after I got out of school that day. I was taking driver's ed at school, and was driving their car with my license in my pocket.
And I still got into a huge wreck 3 weeks after I got my license! I was only partly at fault, but it never would have happened if the other driver hadn't been going about twice the 35MPH speed limit (He admitted it). If I had looked to my left a second time, I might have seen him, but I didn't, and my car (My sister's actually) was totaled. A 71 Cutlass versus a 62 VW is no contest, the bug won.

Not knowing the intricacies of Illinois law, if the driver waits until 17 or 18 to get the license, do they still have to have to go through the hours of hand-held driving to get a real license? If not, they may be delaying just to avoid the hassle.
I know I was rearing to get my license when I turned 16. In my home state at the time you had to take and pass driver's ed in school, get signed off by the teacher, and then have a parent sign off that you had done so many hours with them. Pretty much everyone I knew just wrote in the hours and had the parent sign the card. I can't imagine not wanting to get my license, but then again, it wasn't incredibly difficult. The license meant freedom, freedom to go out with friends wherever, explore new places, and of course, the biggest draw – a much great chance to engage in some good old fashioned coitus.
Having a restriction that the license couldn't be used after dusk, and therefore excluding the option of finding a secluded area of state park in the middle of the night for some recreational activity would have made the license far less appealing. Even without that though, I am assuming 16 year olds still date, what do they do now, have their parents drop them off and pick them up? Unless you live in the middle of a city there isn't a whole lot date worthy that is within walking distance these days.
Now, I had a couple accidents when I was learning, thankfully no one got hurt, and my old Jeep held together, in fact it which it was bestowed with the moniker 'Battle Wagon' by my friends after it tore open the side of a Lincoln Continental while sustaining no more damage than a dented bumper. I did some stupid things with the car, my friends and I would 'race' each other on public roads getting from point A to point B, I turned the wrong way onto an eight lane highway and had to jump a curb to get out of the way of oncoming traffic, and I spun out and did some 180s and 360s when the roads were icy, but I lived and learned.
Driving is dangerous, but so is life in general. Every restriction in the name of safety is the loss of another freedom. Teenagers need the chance to get out, to explore, and to get in over their heads once in a while so they learn how to deal with it. When you are 16 and you screw up the consequences are generally a lot less than when you are 21 and do the same thing. In my experience those who grew up with severely overprotective parents were the ones who went the furthest off the deep end when finally given some autonomy later in life, and at that point you can get yourself so far gone you might not make it back.
I don't yet have kids, but if and when I do I would absolutely let them drive at 16. Yes it may be dangerous, and yes they might be at a higher risk, but the situations that arise from that build character. The lessons learned that you remember most are the ones taught by experience and my your own mistakes.

Cars and driving are becoming more and more of a hassle and less and less of a pleasure for young people today. Many of the ones I've known have been in no hurry at all to get a permit and license.
Times are changing.

A 16-year-old can be an effective driver with the right incentives and limitations. A kid who pays for a car is more likely to take care of it. A kid who pays for his insurance is less likely to commit traffic violations. Limit the car for use at particular times, with particular functions, with certain numbers of people, or without certain electronics, and you reduce the risk that a combination of these factors will overwhelm your kid.
That said, there's no substitute for experience. The mechanics of driving won't tell you how to judge the speed of oncoming traffic, to predict when a driver will jump out of a line of cars, or not to drive in front of semitrailers. This ability to anticipate the behavior of other drivers takes time to fortify, but attentiveness, the second puzzle piece, is available to anyone. I think time with an adult driver trained to point out these things should be mandated.
For the inevitable lapses in personal responsibility, I'm also in favor of tell-tale GPS tracking. If not location, then at least maximum speed. Garmin units track that automatically; if you wire one to start with the car, you'll always know how fast it's gone. Then you can have your kid explain exactly what sort of traffic condition required pushing into triple-digits.
To directly counter Nullo's comment above, I disagree with this line:
"When you are 16 and you screw up the consequences are generally a lot less than when you are 21 and do the same thing."
High-profile teenage deaths are often the impetus to change driving laws. The courts may be lenient to minors, but physics certainly isn't.

In answer to the question, as long as they get learner's permits early, and practice, I'm not going to worry if they don't get drivers licenses until much later. I want them to learn the physical skill early.

One last observation on why kids aren't getting their licenses in Illinois…
Don't know about your state, but this one is suffering an almost 40% budget shortfall this year. We're billions and billions and billions in the hole.
We're pink slipping teachers faster than we indict governors.
And which teachers, do you suppose, are shown the door? Phys Ed, music, art, drama and of course, drivers ed. (And first-year teachers, no matter what subject they teach).
That means (and has meant, for the last several years) that Junior has to wait till his junior (sometimes senior) year before he can get into a DE class at his school (if it's offered at all). So if he wants that learners permit at 16, Mom and Dad gotta puke up the money for private DE instruction. Or Junior's gotta mow a lot more lawns and pay for it himself. Yeah. Like that's gonna happen.
Sure, there's plenty of parents with the bank to buy their kid private instruction. And still a few kids who still think cars are cool. These kids still find a way to get behind the wheel. But the times, they are a'changin'.

I'm 22 and live in Quebec, Canada. The rules about getting a driving permit are fairly strict compared to most US states it seems. In order for anyone to get a full permit you must hold a learner's permit for a year. During that time you must drive with a licensed adult. After you must hold a probationary permit for another year, and you may only collect a total of 4 demerit points (the full number is 15). When I got my permit driving school was not mandatory, however it is now, and I believe is more than 50 hours. There are still a lot of people on the road that don't look like they should be however, young and old.

The 2012 Aviation Insurance Association (AIA) annual conference opened with a near-record 550 attendees in an atmosphere of stability in terms of underwriting capacity and casualty claims during 2011. The total absence of Part 121 airline fatal accidents in that period has had a favorable effect on underwriter profits and policy claims, since air transport is the largest segment of aviation insurance in terms of insured risk. Zero airline fatalities led aviation litigation attorney and AIA past president John Scott Hoff to comment, "That is really bad news for the attorneys." He noted that accident rates continue to drop in general aviation, where mishaps in the experimental ("homebuilt") category fell by 20 percent. Business aviation was another story, however, where fatalities rose to 32 from 17 in 2010.

1 Corinthians 15:12-26New International Version (NIV)
The Resurrection of the Dead
12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

1 Corinthians 15:35-55New International Version (NIV)
The Resurrection Body
35 But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" 36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"[a]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we[b] bear the image of the heavenly man.
50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."[c]
55 "Where, O death, is your victory?

The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story – Diane Ackerman
The New York Times bestseller soon to be a major motion picture starring Jessica Chastain.
A true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands.
When Germany invaded Poland, Stuka bombers devastated Warsaw―and the city's zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski began smuggling Jews into empty cages. Another dozen "guests" hid inside the Zabinskis' villa, emerging after dark for dinner, socializing, and, during rare moments of calm, piano concerts. Jan, active in the Polish resistance, kept ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed explosives in the animal hospital. Meanwhile, Antonina kept her unusual household afloat, caring for both its human and its animal inhabitants―otters, a badger, hyena pups, lynxes.With her exuberant prose and exquisite sensitivity to the natural world, Diane Ackerman engages us viscerally in the lives of the zoo animals, their keepers, and their hidden visitors. She shows us how Antonina refused to give in to the penetrating fear of discovery, keeping alive an atmosphere of play and innocence even as Europe crumbled around her. 8 pages of illustrations

In between Heaven and Earth
Bay startled back at once. Not so much out of fear as surprise when the seemingly insane female released a male boy around his age out of her stomach. So she wasn't pregnant after all Bay sighed in relief. He wasn't sure what to do
if he had to fight a pregnant person.
"Hey! If you're so friendly, stop messing with us and tell us what you're doing!"
she exclaimed, sounding pretty mad.
She must not be human, or at least a regular human. The boy, who seemed somewhat startled from being abruptly released from the belly of the female, seemed to be debating on fighting too After contemplating it the boy seemed to be merging with a Pokespirit. Bay sighed, he felt like he wasn't going to be leaving without a fight. Here he was stuck in a conflict now with three Pokewielders and one supernatural cannibal.
The boy who was merging emitted a dark like aura to Bay and he seemed to be ready to fight. This guy was a natural fighter and was possibly the strongest of the group but he was the one who seemed to be going all-out as he was semi-merging with his Pokespirit. The other female, who took offense first with out warning, had an odd air about her and Bay knew that someone here was going to be leaving here brutally injured at the very least. The boy stepped forward in front of this girl as if he was going to be first to fight and threw his shirt off. No sooner afterwards he burnt it with a flame emitted from his mouth.
"What a show off." Flow said.
After this thought Bay's skin felt jumpy and although he didn't realize it, his hair popped out of the ponytail tinting it from black to blackish-brown and his regular ears slowly changed into fox-like ones. He didn't know it but he was partially merging with he Pokespirit like the other boy.
Bay attempted to get one last warning to the group before fighting. "If you wish not to fight, now is the time to say so, but If you all want to fight I prefer that you all not massacre me at once unless it can't be avoided" Bay said with a calm grin on his face.
"I think we are going in for the fight of our life" Bay said to Flow who cautiously replied "You better not die now."
Bay looked coldly ahead, looking at every movement of the three figures ahead of him, prepared to fight and prepared for diplomacy or at least a way to get out of this unscathed.

If you bucket-feed milk to calves, examine these scenarios to see which one best fits how you "clean" the buckets. Do you:
A) Squirt some water into the bucket and then empty it at the next feeding?
B) Give calves housed in individual pens a clean pail upon arrival and that pail remains with the calf (unwashed) until she is weaned and moved to group housing?
C) Rinse buckets after one feeding and then wash them thoroughly after the next feeding?
D) Wash buckets between feedings for young calves only?
E) Follow the recommended practice of rinse-wash-rinse-dry after each feeding?
As you can see, there are a wide range of practices when it comes to bucket sanitation.
Sam Leadley, of Attica (N.Y) Veterinary Associates, recommends that you evaluate your calf management and level of profitability to determine the level of feeding sanitation that is best for your operation.
"Careful observation of calf mortality, sickness and growth are the keystones of making an informed decision about how to manage this important sanitation issue," Leadley says. "If you are meeting your goals for calf management (death rate, sickness rate, growth rate), then leave things alone. However, if one or more of these measures of profitability are unacceptable, then feeding sanitation may be one route to reduced expenses (death, treatment of illness, feed conversion) and greater returns (growth rates)."

What is the most effective treatment to get rid of love handles belly and flanks, I have a skinny body everywhere else except that area needs a little help and working out is just not doing it for me, I know theres several types of liposuction as well as different lasers, because theres so many I just cant decide which one to choose. Please tell me what you think is most effective and how long would it last if I stay at my body weight, could it be permanent?
How Can I Permanently Get Rid of Belly Fat, Love Handles & flanks? Is Lipo Most Effective or Laser?
Doctor Answers 10
Getting rid of belly fat!
in most cases traditional liposuction, if you have a large amount of fat, is the best way to go. If you have a small amount of fat than the laser liposuction may be the answer but it may take more than 2 to 3 times to accomplish the goal.
Traditional Liposuction
Permanent Removal of Belly Fat
It's very difficult to definitively answer your question without seeing you, or at the very least seeing a photo; however, I use a combination of tumescent, ultrasonic and laser liposuction, and it very much depends on location of the fat etc.
Jonathan Ross Berman, M.D. , F.A.C.S.

Removal of Belly Fat and Love Handles
If you have good elasticity of your skin and localized fat accumulation, then liposuction is what you need. Instead of worrying about picking a method of liposuction, you should concentrate of picking a surgeon with significant experience in liposuction and that will discuss your specific desires. Consider that many of the physicians doing liposuction these days have minimal training. The specific method should be left up to that surgeon, since all liposuction methods in skilled hands will produce excellent results.
The BEST Liposuction method for me
Liposuction achieves its best results when employed by an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon on the right person - a healthy, non-obese person with healthy skin and realistic expectations. It is not a replacement for a tummy tuck (where skin needs to be removed and the muscles need to be tightened to get a tight tummy) nor is it a replacement for eating properly and exercising.
Do not fall for external lasers, for internal lasers or laser liposuction, for a variety of rollers, belts or creams. They do not work. The best liposuction is the one your chosen Plastic surgeons feels gives him the edge and best result.
good Luck

Hi and thanks for your question!
Liposuction will permanently remove the fat from your belly and other areas, this is the way to go! Please remember, that you can regain the fat in those areas-stay healthy with exercise at least 3 times a week and a nutritious diet, and you will be thrilled with the longterm improvement in your figure with liposuction!
Smartest liposuction is done by a good surgeon and for the right reasons
Forget lasers for liposuction - while they may be helpful in some circumstances, it is the skill of the surgeon that makes the difference because liposuction is surgery. Lasers do not make the procedure safer or more effective.
Skill and judgment surpasses any liposuction machine
If you are at your ideal weight and have inherited fat pockets you are the ideal candidate for liposuction, and yes, it is permanent. The type of liposuction is not as important as the skill and judgement the surgeon puts into the work. You can get dents with any system, laser, tickle, ultrasound, water, tumescent. If you focus on the surgeon rather than the system being marketed you should have the best chance at a great result.

How to permanently get rid of fat
Thank you for your question. Liposuction remains the gold standard treatment of fat in those resistant areas that you described. Whether it is standard suction assisted, ultrasound or power assisted liposuction, it will give you definitive results and are likely to be permanent unless you gain weight or get pregnant.
When it comes to the newer external devices; the results are not as dramatic as surgery, you will need repeated sessions. The advantages are less pain, less downtime, no bruising, and convenience.
My advice for you is to see a board certified plastic surgeon. Address all these questions with him/her during the consultation and then decide.

America's Public Sector Union Dilemma
December 12, 2011
Since the Great Recession began in 2008, there has been a growing criticism of public sector unions. Responding to budgetary issues and this public criticism, cash-strapped governments in many states are considering ways to reduce the costs associated with public unions. In doing so, the stark contrasts between the public sector and private sector in unionization become clear as many question what the true costs of unions are, says Lee E. Ohanian, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.
- The private sector once boasted a high unionization rate of 35 percent during World War II, but this figure has since fallen to approximately 6 percent.
- Oppositely, public sector unionization has not fallen at all over time, but has remained steady at around 45 percent since the early 1980s.
- In response to the pervasiveness of unions, many states have drastically reduced their effectiveness in collective bargaining via legislation, with 23 states having implemented "right to work" laws.
However, unionization continues within the public sector, largely because government services need not maximize profits. If this were their goal, they would not accept the wage-inflating policies of unions and would instead deal with their workers' compensation individually. However, because they need not operate within this traditional business model, unions continue to dominate the public sector.
- Starting in 1980, public sector compensation began to diverge from private sector compensation significantly, as public sector compensation rose to nearly $70,000 per worker while private sector compensation rose to only about $60,000.
- Comparisons of private sector and public sector compensation also often fail to account for the increased job security that accompanies union membership -- generous assessments suggest that public wage reductions of 10 percent would be of similar value.
Valuations of the potential wage-reducing effects of removing unions point to alleviated state budgets and cross-sectional equivalence in wage compensation.

American Ethanol to sponsor Dillon at Phoenix
February 20, 2014, Staff report, NASCAR.com
Austin Dillon, the Daytona 500 Coors Light Pole Award winner, will sport a familiar look next week at Phoenix International Raceway.
American Ethanol will serve as primary sponsor for The Profit on CNBC 500, Presented by Small Business Fueling America on March 2 as well as other select NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races this season.
"Homegrown biofuels like American Ethanol have stepped up to help our nation's economy," Dillon, an official spokesperson for said. "NASCAR drivers have run more than 5 million competitive miles on Sunoco Green E15 and I know we will reach even more milestones together. I am proud to wear the American Ethanol colors in NASCAR and I hope I can bring them to Victory Lane in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2014."
In addition to primary sponsorship on select races, American Ethanol, launched by Growth Energy and the National Corn Growers Association along with the support of other partners, will serve as a major associate sponsor for Dillon's No. 3 Chevrolet for the full 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season joining Dow, Cheerios, Realtree Outdoors, Bass Pro Shops and the University of Northwestern Ohio.
"American Ethanol is extremely pleased to once again partner with Austin Dillon, Richard Childress and the entire RCR team to help promote a sustainable homegrown American fuel that is better for our environment, reduces our dependence on foreign oil and creates jobs right here in the U.S., while revitalizing rural economies across America and save consumers at the pump," Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy, said.
