Mothers, daughters build roller coasters, balloon-powered planes as part of annual spring event
Mothers and their daughters embarked on a day of exploring the field of engineering at the University of Missouri Mother-Daughter Engineering Day on Saturday, April 21.
The pairs spent the day participating in different types of engineering activities, such as building a roller coaster out of construction paper and tape, making a paper airplane propelled by a balloon and testing different ways to filter water.
Each mother-daughter pair was matched with a current woman MU engineering student in order to educate the young women and their mothers about the different options and applications of engineering through engaging activities with peer mentors.
Shawnna Ek and her daughter Shelby, 15, traveled from Kansas City to Columbia the night before the event.
"It's fun to see that there are other girls interested in engineering," Ek said.
Ek's daughter, Shelby, said she is unsure of what type of engineering she wants to pursue in the future.
"That's why we're here, to see all the different types of engineering," Ek said.
Mary Beth Graefe and her 12-year-old daughter Meghan, from St. Louis, had the most fun during the airplane activity.
"She's interested in problem solving. When they were introducing the roller coaster activity, she turned to me and said 'I have an idea!' before they finished explaining everything," Graefe said.
Graefe said she appreciated the environment of the event. She said it's a much better experience to be in a college environment with current students and resources than to have something like this brought to Meghan's school.
"I love the more individualized experience. It's nice for me to be able to talk to a college student, and she's a good role model for Meghan. They are encouraging trial and error and telling the girls it's okay to make mistakes, which is great," Graefe said.
Jamie Blackburn and her daughter, Aliyah, 13, from Columbia, came to learn more about the engineering path.
"This has given us more information about what engineers can do, future careers, different branches of engineering, and more," Blackburn said.
Zaria Noronha, 13, from Lee's Summit, said her favorite activities were the roller coaster and the water filter experiment. She liked the roller coasters because she got to see how they are made from scratch and try making one for herself.
Noronha wants to study chemical engineering because she's interested in how things are made. She would love to see what actually takes to make nail polish and lipstick.
Her mother, April Boyd-Noronha, laughed at Zaria's comment, "makeup is No. 1!"

So, what did RB Warrick Dunn do in his first game since being pressed into a role as the featured back? Not a whole lot — apart from his 127 total yards, including 90 rushing yards on 14 carries (6.4 yards per carry). Sunday's game was the Bucs' first since losing RB Earnest Graham to a season-ending ankle injury, and giving a steady dose of touches to a 33-year-old back might give a coach reason to pause. But when you see Dunn spinning and darting like he did on his 13-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, it becomes quickly apparent there's little cause for alarm. And when Dunn breaks through the big bodies in the middle on a shotgun formation draw play for a 40-yard pickup, the notion of questioning the former Florida State standout seems ridiculous. From Dunn's perspective, it's really not all that special. Asked about his touchdown, he said, "I don't remember. … I pretty much just read the blocks, running for daylight." As for the dizzying spin move that helped him elude Lions DE Jared DeVries, Dunn didn't have much to offer there, either. "Everything I do is instinct," he said. "I'm pretty much running for my life. That's the reality of how I run."
Garcia wins in Motown — finally
Jeff Garcia's return to Detroit last season wasn't memorable. For all the Bucs' offensive fireworks (Garcia led a 422-yard effort), Tampa Bay lost, with Garcia suffering defeat against the team he played for in 2005. This visit was totally different. "It kind of reminded me of last year's game with the fumbles and the sacks," Garcia said. " … But this time we can walk out with a win, and that's what it's all about." The 21 points the Bucs scored in the second quarter were the second most in team history (they scored 24 in a quarter twice: vs. Chicago in 1996 and vs. Green Bay in 1981). Garcia finished with a 137.5 passing rating against the Lions and moved into eighth place on the Bucs' all-time passing list ahead of Shaun King. With 4,223 passing yards as a Buc, Garcia is just 349 yards shy of seventh place on the team's all-time list behind Brian Griese, who replaced Garcia at one point this season and remains inactive after injuring his elbow.
Questionable officiating
Several calls that officials made Sunday irritated both teams. Arguably the most egregious involved a fumble by Bucs QB Jeff Garcia after a sack by Lions DE Cliff Avril in the third quarter. Officials ruled it a fumble, but replays seemed to indicate Garcia fumbled as a result of being driven into the turf. The Bucs challenged, but referee Bill Carollo ruled in Detroit's favor. "I felt like it popped out when I hit the ground," Garcia said. And the Bucs took issue with a roughing-the-passer call against DL Jimmy Wilkerson after which he was told by an official he made contact with QB Daunte Culpepper's head. On replay, that didn't appear to be the case. Meanwhile, the Lions complained after Bucs S Sabby Piscitelli's clear interference on WR Calvin Johnson that would have given Detroit a much-needed long gain as it attempted to rally in the third was not called.
Suffering through slow start
For the second straight road game, the Bucs stumbled to a slow start and were forced to dig out of a deep hole. This one required them to climb back from a 17-0 deficit, two games after they fell behind 24-3 in the first half at Kansas City. Even inferior teams can emerge with energy when playing at home, and the Bucs are struggling to match that early emotion. "You have to take the same energy every week, whether at home or away," DE Gaines Adams said. "I know it takes a lot more to win on the road. You can't minimize the Detroit Lions. But unfortunately we came out slow today." The Bucs have come from behind in each of their three road wins — Chicago, Kansas City and Detroit. They have evened their road record at 3-3 with only games at Carolina and Atlanta left. "We've got a two-game winning streak on the road, and we've won three games on the road," coach Jon Gruden said. "It gives you a chance to stick around in the playoff race. But we can't fall behind 24-3 or 17-0 and expect to beat an NFL football team. That's something we have to take a look at."
• Don't blame Bucs CB Ronde Barber exclusively for Lions WR Calvin Johnson's two big plays early. S Sabby Piscitelli will tell you he had as much or more to do with them than Barber, who was matched up against the 2007 No. 2 overall pick. When the 6-foot-5 Johnson hauled in a 41-yard pass down the left sideline in the first quarter, the 5-10 Barber actually had decent position. Meanwhile, Piscitelli was motoring across the field with the ball in midair but hesitated slightly when he reached the sideline, allowing Johnson to make the grab. Piscitelli could have played the ball or laid a punishing hit on Johnson, but with his indecision, he did neither. "That's the first thing coach said — make a decision: either hit him or go for the ball," Piscitelli said. "I was running for so long, and I just got caught in between. That's something I need to learn from and definitely grow. I need to make that play." Three plays later, Johnson caught a 15-yard TD pass against Barber, but Piscitelli again wasn't all that helpful. "I think I broke (on the ball) pretty good," he said. "I just think my angle was off a little. I have to make that play."
In a (pass) rush
At the rate DL Jimmy Wilkerson is going, the biggest challenge the Bucs might face is whether to play him inside or outside. Wilkerson had one sack at tackle and another at end, continuing to show the versatility that made him attractive in free agency. Behind Wilkerson's first career multi-sack game, the Bucs finished with four sacks and have nine in their past two games. Against Detroit, the pass rush took on greater importance because of the Lions' personnel. "We try to throw in different types of rushes against teams like this," Wilkerson said. "We knew going into the game with the receivers they had that they were going to try to chuck the deep ball. That's going to give us an opportunity to get back there because they have to hold the ball. We knew we had to get something going." The Bucs used a combination of blitzes and straight rushes to get to QBs Daunte Culpepper and Drew Stanton. And they experimented a bit with creative blitzes they haven't shown often. "When you have a lead, sometimes you can use some of your (new) things," coach Jon Gruden said.
Positioned for success
Field position was key on two of the Bucs' first three touchdowns. RB Clifton Smith's 49-yard kickoff return on the final play of the first quarter took the ball to midfield. The Bucs scored seven plays later on RB Warrick Dunn's 13-yard touchdown run. CB Ronde Barber's interception return to the Lions 24 eight minutes later set up TE Jerramy Stevens' 24-yard touchdown reception on the next play. "I think with Clifton back there, it really gets you excited about your opportunities for good field position because of his return abilities," QB Jeff Garcia said. "The guy is really exciting. And then, defensively, to create turnovers and do the things they did, they just kept getting after it. That creates better opportunities for our offense when we have a short field."
Mo' money?
RT Jeremy Trueblood got away with a violent grab of a defender's facemask, but he isn't so sure the infraction will get by NFL officials who review game film looking for such misdeeds. Trueblood disclosed Sunday that he was fined $5,000 last week for an unnecessary roughness penalty against Minnesota, and he learned from teammates Sunday that others on the team have been fined for facemask penalties. "I can't catch a break," he cracked.
UCF North?
The Lions backfield consisted mostly of former Central Florida players, with QB Daunte Culpepper and RB Kevin Smith accounting for 207 of the Lions' yards. Culpepper, signed by Detroit this month, struggled in his second game and gave way to backup Drew Stanton in the third quarter. When Stanton suffered a concussion, Culpepper re-entered, finishing 8-of-20 for 121 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Smith had a decent performance, running for 86 yards on 16 carries.
Quick hits
• The game marked only the fourth time the Bucs have won after trailing by 17 points or more (behind only the 21-point deficit to the Chiefs this month and tying the 17-point deficits to the Bears in 1983 and Colts in 1979).
• WR Ike Hilliard's 36-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter was his team-best fourth touchdown reception this year. It was his 35th career touchdown reception and his longest of the season.
• TE Jerramy Stevens' 24-yard touchdown catch was his second of the season and 21st of his career.
• DE Gaines Adams leads the team with five sacks after recording one Sunday. DE Greg White, who added a sack against the Lions, is second with 4½.

Ogden •It took a jury just an hour and 40 minutes to hand down guilty verdicts to Colton Raines and Robert Cole Boyer for their role in a 2011 boating accident that killed a swimmer at Pineview Reservoir.
After three days of trial, the six-person jury began its deliberations about 6:30 p.m. Thursday, after both Raines, 23, and Boyer, 30, took the witness stand earlier in the day to say they didn't know their boat had hit Esther Fujimoto.
Raines and Boyer were found guilty of a class A misdemeanor count of obstructing justice. Raines also was found guilty of a class A misdemeanor count of reckless endangerment and a class B misdemeanor count of failure to render aid. They will be sentenced March 27.

DUBAI, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Dubai's Nakheel issued an Islamic bond worth 121 million dirhams ($32.94 million) on Monday, the third tranche of a sukuk that forms part of the developer's billion-dollar restructuring plan.
The bond will go towards part settlement of trade creditor claims against the company worth around 5.3 billion dirhams. This tranche takes the total amount of sukuk issued to 4.15 billion dirhams, Nakheel said in an emailed statement.
The first tranche was issued in August 2011, part of the company's $16 billion restructuring plan.
Nakheel was hit by a property slump in the Gulf Arab emirate after it overstretched itself building islands in the shape of palms and other ambitious projects.
The developer, which is owned by the Dubai government, said apart from the sukuk and related profit payments it has also paid around 10 billion dirhams to various trade creditors and contractors since November 2009. ($1 = 3.6730 UAE dirhams) (Reporting by Praveen Menon; Editing by Matt Smith)

Lady Gaga becomes Lady Liberty!
For the "New York Issue" of fashion mag V, the pop superstar puts her edgy spin on one of America's -- and NYC's -- most iconic symbols.
With designer Marc Jacobs close by, the 24-year-old singer has long, blonde hair sculpted into the Statue of Liberty's famous crown; wearing a bra, panties, draped fabric falling off her waist, she holds a burning paper torch.
The star (real name: Stefani Germanotta) was born and raised in the Big Apple.
Explains V editor Stephen Gan of the pic, snapped by photographer Mario Testino: "Just as the Statue of Liberty was France's gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York's greatest gift to pop culture and fashion...she has become a bonafide genius and we can safely declare her our muse."

Who's Afraid of the Little Ole Gehenna?
When Jesus used that word He was thinking about Moloch. He was envisioning little children roasting in honor of a demon-god and of implacably cruel priests pounding drums to cover up the sounds of the shrieks. He was seeing in His mind's eye glib prophets assuring His people that by offering their innocent babies they would gain the favor of the god. And when He added the words "where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (seven times), maybe He was not thinking about dogs chewing on human limbs. Perhaps what Jesus was recalling was the response of parents watching their infants writhing in pain on glowing red arms.
This is how Jesus depicted Hell.
It is not a dump.
It is a place to run away from as fast and as hard as you possibly can.
A Recently Discovered Letter of Critique to the Apostle Paul:
We find your tone and resorting to harsh language not in keeping with the love of Christ. "Foolish Galatians." "Let him be accursed." "Emasculate themselves." Really? Can you not hear yourself? You think this is Christlike? Does this sound like something our Lord would say? Do you think this flippant, outrageous, personal, vindictive manner of speech speaks well of God's love or the church? It is clear you are taking this way too personally. Indeed, you ask the Galatians if you are now their enemy. Does everything have to be so black and white to you?
The New York Times Paywall is Destined for Failure:
The relaxed nature of the paywall is the very reason that it won't work. It boils down to the old adage: You can't have your cake and eat it, too. In this case, the Times seems to want both the traffic and advertising dollars from casual browsers as well as the subscription-driven revenue from more serious readers.

Brothers sentenced to prison for roles in NC terror ring
Posted December 20, 2011
NEW BERN, N.C. — Two North Carolina men were sentenced to prison Tuesday for their roles in a home-grown terror cell that prosecutors say plotted attacks under their father's leadership.
Dylan "Mohammed" Boyd, 25, was sentenced to eight years in federal prison, while Zakariya "Zak" Boyd, 22, was sentenced to nine years. They both pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.
In addition to their prison time, Zak Boyd was fined $3,000, and Dylan Boyd was fined $1,000. Both will get credit for the more than two years they have spent in jail since their arrests.
Defense attorneys blame their involvement in terrorist activities on their father, Daniel Patrick Boyd, and his radical Muslim views. Daniel Boyd pleaded guilty in February to two counts of conspiracy and is still awaiting sentencing.
The brothers tearfully apologized for their actions, causing family members in the New Bern federal courthouse to weep.
"I look forward to being able to right the wrongs of my past actions," Zak Boyd said.
"My future will be one of productivity, positivity and amends," Dylan Boyd said.
They faced up to 15 years in prison, but prosecutors agreed to more lenient sentences. They noted that Zak Boyd had been very cooperative in the federal investigation of the terror cell, including convincing his brother to plead guilty, and that Dylan Boyd was less involved in the group's activities than others and actually challenged his father's beliefs on occasion.
Brothers tearfully apologize for roles in Triangle terror cell
Prosecutors, defense attorneys and family members all declined to comment after the court hearing.
The Boyds and four other Triangle men were arrested in July 2009 on charges that they plotted terrorist actions against overseas targets. A federal indictment said they raised money, stockpiled weapons and trained in preparation for jihadist attacks.
Three of the others – Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, 23, Ziyad Yaghi, 22, and Hysen Sherifi, 26 – were convicted in October and are awaiting sentencing. The seventh defendant, Anes Subasic, has yet to be tried.
Authorities believe another man charged in the case, Jude Kenan Mohammad, 22, is in Pakistan. A ninth member of the group, Bajram Asllani, 30, was arrested in Kosovo last year, but the U.S. doesn't have an extradition treaty with that country.

SUPPLIER NEWS — Impax Labs received regulatory approval from the Food and Drug Administration for its generic version of a bacterial infection treatment. The drug maker said the FDA approved its 150-mg doxycycline monohydrate capsules, a drug used to treat bacterial infections and a generic version of Adoxa, made by Nycomed subsidiary PharmaDerm. The 150-mg strength of Adoxa had sales of about $25 million during the 12 months ended in December 2010, according to Wolters Kluwer.
Mylan announced the launch, through subsidiary Mylan Pharmaceuticals, of voriconazole tablets in the 50-mg and 200-mg strengths. The drug is a triazole antifungal agent. The tablets are a generic version of Pfizer's Vfend, which had sales of $186 million in 2010, according to IMS Health. Mylan launched its version of the drug under a settlement with Pfizer. As the first company to file for FDA approval, Mylan is entitled to 180 days of market exclusivity in which to compete with Pfizer's product.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has launched a generic drug for treating symptoms of menopause. The company announced the availability of Jinteli (norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol) tablets. The drug is a generic version of Warner Chilcott's FemHRT and is available in the 1-mg/5-mcg strength.
The FDA announced the approval of Corifact, used to prevent bleeding in people with the rare genetic disorder congenital Factor XIII deficiency, which affects one in 3 million to 5 million people in the United States. The drug is manufactured by Marburg, Germany-based CSL Behring.
Amicus Therapeutics announced results of a 23-patient phase-2 extension study of the investigational drug Amigal (migalastat hydrochloride), designed to improve kidney function in patients with the genetic enzyme disorder Fabry disease. The study — an extension of the original, three- to six-month, 26-patient phase-2 study — used two criteria to measure kidney function: protein in the urine during a 24-hour period and a commonly used measure called estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR. Amicus said preliminary data indicated that eGFR was stable after three to four years of treatment with Amigal, while protein levels in the urine also were reduced.

NOTE: Beeston St. Lawrence is one of four (!) places in Norfolk with "Beeston" in its name. Caution is called for in selecting the correct one.
Beeston St. Lawrence is now a village in the civil parish of Ashmanhaugh or Ashmanaugh in the English county of Norfolk, situated some 20 km north east of Norwich. Until 1935 Beeston St. Lawrence was a separate parish. It is quite small; Ashmanaugh parish, including Beeston St. Lawrence, has an area of 4.82 square kilometres and in the 2001 UK census had a population of 197 in 74 households. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the District of North Norfolk.
The church of Beeston St Lawrence is one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk.

Sara Price's new stage
Women's motocross champ and X Games medalist Sara Price is looking to swap out her racing helmet for a diamond tiara this weekend at the Miss California USA 2013 beauty pageant in Pasadena, Calif.
The 20-year-old motocross prodigy -- who won 17 national amateur titles with three different sanctioning bodies and won AMA/WMX "Rookie of the Year" honors in 2009 -- has submitted her photo portfolio to the judges and is now preparing for the pageant's three equally scored onstage events: interview, swimsuit and evening gown.
"What I've learned is to just be yourself," Price told XGames.com. "When you do that, it'll show, and that's what the judges want to see."
The Miss California USA pageant is owned by business magnate and "The Apprentice" TV star Donald Trump. According to its website, the pageant is "looking for outgoing, intelligent, confident, attractive young women excited to represent the beauty of California."
Price's entry into Miss California USA comes on heels of winning first runner-up and "Miss Photogenic" at a pageant for teens last year in San Bernardino County.
"This last year, being injured, I had a lot of down time," said Price, who won a bronze medal in women's Super X at X Games Los Angeles 2010. "I thought, 'What the hell? I'm bored. I'll just go for it.'"
While injuries have cut back her racing schedule, Price has other irons in the fire. In addition to signing up for the pageants, last year she launched Sara Price Racing Academy. She also puts on the annual Sara Price Invitational race and helps run her parents' paint and body shop in Riverside, Calif.
Back out on the track in 2013, Price said she's planning on racing at X Games Los Angeles and branching out on four wheels to race utility terrain vehicles on the Lucas Oil off-road racing series.
As far as the shortened 2013 WMX season goes, Price says that, for now, she's not planning on racing, citing financial constraints. "They've knocked us down to three rounds," she added. "And I don't think that's OK for women."
At the pageant Friday and Saturday, Price will join 229 state finalists at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.
The winner will receive a sapphire-and-diamond ring, training for Miss USA pageant, custom clothing and beauty services, and, until it gets passed on in 2014, a diamond tiara.

The Corpus Clock is at base a gratuitous display of wealth and pretentiousness; but grousing aside the main problem with it is that there is always such a crowd watching it that I haven't been able to get a decent picture of it. It has been around for a little while, but I've only just noticed. The doorway it is in used to be that of the Gnatwest bank, which used to be useful. Now Corpus have taken it back to be a library so the public doorway was redundant.
The wiki article will point you at the right links if you care (and it seems as though they too can't get a decent picture). I like the grasshopper, since it has a grasshopper escapement. Amusingly, for something that is supposed to remind us of the passing away of time, the cam.ac.uk page about it points you too a rotted page at Corpus. Ah well, mundus transit et textura eius.

Film producer turned biographer Steven Bach's newest book, Leni: The Life and Works of Leni Riefenstahl, charts the rise to prominence of Riefenstahl, the seductive, egomaniacal, controversial filmmaker who befriended Hitler, made some of the Nazis' most infamous propaganda films, altered the art of filmmaking, and lived to be over 100. Not surprisingly, the crowds attending his readings have been lively, to say the least.
What kinds of people are coming to the events—film people? History buffs?
Every audience has been different, and clearly has something on its mind. I did Barnes and Noble at Lincoln Center last night; it was quite a large crowd. I could tell that these were informed people, some who had already read the book and wanted to ask questions. There was an interest in the holocaust and the fact that Leni Riefenstahl might have in fact been Jewish herself. I have had other audience who wanted to talk about art vs. propaganda, or the naiveté-seductress issue or the Nazi postwar issue.
With a controversial subject like Riefenstahl, you must get some spirited questions.
The audiences absolutely want to know how I personally feel about her. I'm not at all shy, but I try to tell them that I kept that out of the book in order to allow them to come to conclusions on their own There have been a few people who have been very hostile to the idea that I would go after this woman who was a great artist and who was the political naïve that she claimed to be. I say, fine, that's quite ok. Read the book. You still want to hold that position, it's a free country. They are audiences that seem to believe, as I do, that, there are a lot of live issues that are hot today that were hot in the 1930s. In almost every audience, somebody will say, "do you see evidence of Riefenstahl's influence in filmmaking or politics today?" I love it when they ask that because it gives me a chance to say, "well, yes—everywhere": in politics with empty politicizing and pretty pictures of people standing in front of American flags, to sports reportage...There are some people who want to insist that she was Hitler's mistress and then there are the others who bought her version of things and accuse me of being hostile for no reason at all, which is always funny.
So how do you feel about her personally?
I went though nine years of evolving attitudes about her—and I used to live around the corner from her in Munich, though I never interviewed her. There were periods where I thought I would never be able to finish the book. Where I come out with it is deeply sad. I really think she was an extraordinary talent. She certainly had a dynamism and energy and ability to manipulate in both the good and bad senses. It also baffles me how she could reach the age of 101 and be so totally unrepentant and free of any kind of remorse. I really wondered if she was completely sane. I feel a kind of appalled anger that she was never able to say I'm sorry. I've always thought that if, when she was 60, she had just looked up and said, "you know what, I did it, I loved my movies, I loved Hitler, I thought he was terrific, I'm really sorry," everybody would have forgiven her. I think they would have said, you know what Leni, glad to welcome you back to the family of man. And she couldn't say it, even at age 100.
You allude a bit in the book to echoes today of things that happened in around Leni in pre-war Germany, during the rise of the Nazis…
It happened that I was into the book, maybe not very far from what you're citing, when 9/11 happened, and when I was dealing with Hitler's takeover, the Reichstag fire, the enabling act that followed, and the clampdown on civil liberties, I was writing about those issues by sheer calendar chance as the patriot was being passed, as John Ashbroft was getting on TV every day telling us what the threat level was, and it was not possible for me to write those historical passages without realizing we were going through a very similar period, at least in the sense of politicians mobilizing fear. That increased my feeling that Riefenstahl's films are really as potentially dangerous as the German government even today thinks they are, that they can still have those effects on people.

When Did Humans Arrive in South America?
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY—Paleontologists have unearthed more than 1,000 fossils from a bone bed at Arroyo del Vizcaíno in southern Uruguay. Many of the bones, which date to 29,000 to 30,000 years old, are remains of three extinct species of giant ground sloth. Some of these sloth bones bear marks that could have been made by tool-wielding human hunters. But the site of Monte Verde, in Chile, is the earliest known human settlement in South America, and it is just 14,000 years old. "So, it's strange and unexpected," said Richard Fariña of Uruguay's Universidad de la República.

Eat familiar foods
Toddlers are notoriously picky eaters, and it's hard enough finding foods they like at home, let alone while you're traveling. You may be looking forward to sampling the local cuisine at your destination, but your child may be less excited about it.
If you're going out to a restaurant, bring a supply of your toddler's favorite foods (such as goldfish crackers, O-shaped toasted oat cereal, fruit, or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches) to keep her satisfied and entertained while you enjoy your own meal.
Stay close to home base
Your child's mood may be more unpredictable than usual when you're traveling, so it makes sense to establish a home base you can return to quickly and easily. Short jaunts away from your accommodations are less likely to tax your child's patience. And if the weather turns foul, someone gets sick, or your toddler just wants to nap, you can quickly head back to the room.
Schedule running-around time for toddlers
After being cooped up in a car, plane, or stroller all day, most toddlers are eager to be let loose. New walkers especially hate being confined, so spend time every day at a park or playground where your child can release some pent-up energy. A bonus: The more he races around during the day, the better he'll sleep at night.
Expect the adjustment to take several days
New faces and surroundings can be scary for a young child and make her cling to you more than usual. Combine fear with a dose of jet lag, a strange bed, new food, and all the other disruptions of travel, and you may end up with a child who's fussier and more demanding than usual.
Once you arrive, expect to spend extra time making your child feel safe and secure in her new surroundings. After all, you're the best security blanket your child can have.

18 Foot Shark Circles Boat [VIDEO]
Sometimes nature can get a little too close. I can't believe these guys weren't falling over each other to get the hell out of Dodge. Wait until you see this shark that's checking them out. Caution, these guys use STRONG language (I think you would too if a shark was circling your boat). More after the jump.
If a shark is almost as big as your boat, and it's circling your boat, don' t you think the next item on the sharks agenda is to eat the boat? Caution again, these guys use strong, but what I consider very appropriate for the situation language.

ALMAH To Release Video For 'Days Of The New' This Friday
October 3, 2012, 4 years ago
ALMAH, featuring former ANGRA frontman, Edu Falaschi, will release a video clip for the song 'Days Of The New' on Friday, October 5th at 3:00pm CET (9:00am EST) via their official YouTube channel here. The track is taken from the band's 2011 album, Motion.
As previously reported, new Almah guitarist Gustavo Di Padua commented in a new interview on various details of his career since the very beginning until his joining in April this year. The 34-year old guitarist from Rio De Janeiro replaced Paulo Schroeber who had to leave the band due to health problems. Among other matters, in the interview he tells about his first talk and meeting Almah, his feelings while working side by side of his new mates and a future Almah studio album.
Check out a few excerpts below:- "I've got a phone call from Edu (Falaschi) who invited me and it was my first contact with the band. It was a really cool chat and I liked a lot all the ideas and the vibe. He is a very nice and high spirited guy and it became clear very quickly. So, no wonder that I accepted the invitation! Everything happened in a moment because ALMAh had several shows already scheduled and soon we all met in the studio for the first of our three rehearsals. It was super cool! Everyone in the band was a super nice and open character and all happened in an easy and natural way".
- "Edu is already working hard at new Almah songs and according to what I've heard they will be great!!! I'm looking forward to work at guitar parts of the next album together with Marcelo Barbosa".
- "I have the best expectations possible! There's a lot of work ahead! I'm very happy to play in such a band as Almah that works with a lot of joy and that brings much good to the public. Thanks to all the fans for accepting me so well and I hope that we'll be always able to exchange these cool vibes on the shows! I'm very excited about the next shows and the future album."

When I search for material for our It Should Have Been a Defensive Gun Use posts I usually select stories where defenseless Americans are brutalized by armed thugs of one stripe or another. But this story at abc22now.com caught my eye because it seems so mundane. No one was injured. And yet . . . Well, see for yourself . . .
DAYTON — A family was awakened early Saturday morning to the sound of intruders in their Harvard Boulevard home.
According to Dayton police, a 911 caller said two males gained entry through a bathroom window just after midnight Jan. 2, 2016, and forced the family — including a husband, wife and two grandchildren — out of their beds and into the living room while they went through the home and took various items.
The family told police the suspects carried pump-action shotguns.
While the family was being held in the living room, they heard a woman coming home. They heard her through the door and reportedly told the suspects not to shoot.
That woman evidently heard their plea and ran next door. She told police later that she saw the two suspects run from the house. She said she thinks she heard the voice of one of the suspects before but couldn't tell police who it was.
A PlayStation 3, a backpack, Dell laptop and call phone were reported stolen from the home.
As of this writing, the perps remain at large. And that's it. Only not really. The matter-of-fact text doesn't do justice to the horrors suffered by four innocent Americans at the hands of two shotgun-wielding criminals. The inevitable psychological effects of the home invasion.
The FBI does not keep statistics on "home invasions," also known as "hot burglaries" (where the home owners are inside). They lump the stats with all forms of burglary. "In 2014, there were an estimated 1,729,806 burglaries," fbi.gov reports. If one percent of those were home invasions, that's 17,298 incidents.
Gun control advocates would have you believe that incidents like the one described above argue for gun control – as if the bad guys would be deterred by restrictions on Americans' natural, civil and Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Anyone else who contemplates that crime – who really thinks about it – would want to have armed self-defense. And so they do.
28 Responses to It Should Have Been A Defensive Gun Use: Just Your Average Home Invasion Edition
The proper response was demonstrated in the Dayton area recently.
I think you missed it pretty sure it was covered; One less menace to society I'm sure was "turning his life around" or some tripe with two more left to be a burden on the taxpayers or meet a similar fate.
This fellow's lucky that he got out as easy as he did. Hopefully better prep keeps the hounds at bay in the future.
When you chose not to be armed you leave the decision of whether or not you survive a home invasion entirely in the hands of the invaders.
Petit family, anyone?
I read once that half of all burglaries in England are hot burglaries. Of course over there if you stab a burglar with a kitchen knife they let the burglar go and put you in prison.
That makes it look like they want the successful good guy to roll the bad guy up in thick plastic and drive him to a "dump" for the rats to chew on. After all they don't count a dead body as a crime until they arrest someone.
And I read somewhere that in the US, you can buy a "machine-rifle assault-gun" with high-capacity "bananana clips" full of "Teflon-coated Black Talon cop-killer dum-dum bullets", over the counter in any Wal-Mart (fitted with "shoulder thing that goes up" for a small extra fee) cheap for cash, no questions asked… Should we believe every bit of propaganda we get fed?
From a legalistic point of view, there's no such thing as a "hot burglary" in the UK – if the occupants are home and "felt threatened", it's robbery not burglary (and a much more serious case, and much harder to deny in court)
In the UK, in general, burglars very much prefer empty houses, and will evade if disturbed. They're also unarmed. Why? It's easier to talk their way to a "reasonable doubt" or a lower sentence if they can try to claim they were confused, or lost, or helpfully checking a door left open. If they were unarmed, not obviously equipped for burglary, and their response when challenged was "Sorry mate, wrong house? Just leaving…" they're more likely to walk or will be out much quicker. Meanwhile a knife will get you trouble, a gun will get the book thrown at you (and if you can afford, and are willing to risk carrying, a working illegal firearm plus ammo in the UK, you aren't doing casual burglary).
If they get away from the scene on the day, a burglary is considered administration to roll up if they ever do match the crime to a suspect – and if nobody saw you, there's rather less chance of being identified. A robbery is newsworthy, a live investigation, and a priority to get some action on. Again, much more incentive to avoid people if possible.
There are rare and newsworthy exceptions, but dig into them and they have a habit of confirming that a good way to avoid Bad Things happening to you, is to avoid illegal transactions with Bad People. If you aren't believed to be "looking after this package, and don't tell anyone" for your boyfriend/brother/'business associate', for instance, your risks drop dramatically.
Defensively, it's a popular myth that "if you resist the burglar they jail you" but actually, you have to be pretty egregiously stupid to get in trouble – but those cases are the ones that get distorted and reported. Cases like this one – – don't seem to get the same level of attention, but that's the actual UK case law rather than myth and misrepresentation.
Deaths and serious injuries will be investigated, even tried, but sometimes cases go to trial precisely to place a stake in the ground as to where the precedent and case law lies – so that there's clear evidence for the future of "do not bring charges on this, they'll be found Not Guilty as per ".
So long as the Bad Guy has most of the wounds to his front, and you didn't chase them down the street to kill them or drag them back inside to keep hacking at them, an intruder who's unwise enough to pick a fight with the homeowners will be told to "go and do one, sunshine" by the forces of the Law – but, frankly, in the UK you're more likely to be struck by lightning than suffer a full-effort "home invasion" by armed intruders.
Thanks for taking the time to provide the detailed UK crime report.
Could you explain the phrase:
"If they get away from the scene on the day, a burglary is considered administration to roll up if they ever do match the crime to a suspect"
I suspect this means these events aren't treated as crimes and thus aren't reported in the UK crime statistics.
Here in the US we have a special type of violent criminal.
Their behavior is caused by playing violent video games and eating too many sugary treats. Alas, these creatures don't say:
"Sorry mate, wrong house? Just leaving…"
Here are just two examples:
New Jersey Home Invasion UNEDITED
Two men have been charged in the murder of Amanda Blackburn, a pastor's pregnant wife who was shot during a home invasion
A burglary is very definitely a crime and will be reported – you can't claim on your insurance for the goods stolen without a crime number, and that's a good way of tracking how many burglaries you really get from either end (matching up police reports and insurance claims) to keep the stats less dishonest.
However, once the scene's gone cold, a simple burglary becomes a low priority for investigation compared to a "crime against the person" (robbery or assault) committed against a homeowner. Individually the odds of catching and then convicting the criminal other than in the act are low, hence why it tends to sit on the books rather than have task forces dedicated to it. If there's a pattern (geographically, by behaviour, whatever) then the police are able to focus in: the majority of burglaries are done by relatively few habitual criminals so catching and convicting them is worthwhile once their patterns can be exploited.
The remainder tend to be opportunistic one-offs by morally weak folk who notice a laptop computer left temptingly near an open window or similar and those are very hard to crack once the perpetrator's gone and the evidence sold on, and those in particular tend to end up unsolved cold cases. Doesn't mean they're "no-crimed" or ignored, just that they're a low priority until something indicates there'd be value in re-examining them.
As far as I can tell, the US and UK are about as safe as each other: you can put yourself at far more or less risk by simply moving around within either country, than you would by going from one to another. Stay away from Bad People and try not to do Bad Things and your chances of coming to harm in either country are low… which is either an argument for, or against, firearms ownership.
Link didn't come across, sorry.
"Here in the US we have a special type of violent criminal.
Their behavior is caused by playing violent video games and eating too many sugary treats. Alas, these creatures don't say:
'Sorry mate, wrong house? Just leaving…'"
I hope you're kidding. Violent criminals are morally corrupt individuals not kids that "played violent video games and ate sugary sweets". Saying violent crime is caused by violent video games is the same as saying violent crime is caused by guns. It's just another lame excuse to avoid looking at the real issues.
Nothing to see here. Home invasion is as rare as hen's teeth in the UK
I was quite specific with my statistics. You found eight cases in a year (and these are considered significantly newsworthy events, notice – "man bites dog" not "dog bites man") while we have thirty to sixty people struck by lightning in any given year.
Seriously, more people win the National Lottery jackpot than suffer "home invasions" over here…
Jason, I bet all eight of them would have liked to have had a firearm at the time their homes were invaded, even if they'd never admit it.
Won't help much against lightning strikes, though.
Story from wtsp.com 2016/01/01
An ex-con with a violent arrest history released from state prison in March of 2015, broke into a home in Lakeland, Florida and fired at two people inside, but was then shot and killed by the homeowner.
Sheriff Grady Judd's statement:
"Forcing your way into an occupied residence is a bold and foolish decision. If you are foolish enough to break into someone's home, you can expect to be shot in Polk County," said Sheriff Grady Judd.
Entry through a bathroom window?
Window locks?
Lights on motion switches?
Alarm system?
Guess not.
I bet they get a few of those things tomorrow.
Those are all nice, but not as good as a gun.
Well I don't mean to suggest it's either-or.
If those things cause a change in criminal plans and prevent bloodshed, all the better. At least with a little warning (from a dog or alarm), you might have a chance to present your gun before they present theirs.
RF though you are an ass, I do enjoy reading your site
As such, I would like to point out you missed a great one for the should have been defensive series in the NYT dec 20 edition, which you can find by searching for scoutmaster and bear. Possibly your subscription lapsed
Discussions on woods guns are always readable and entertaining as well
The horror of the mundane story is stomaching liberals condoning of robbery as though it's a sanctioned career. Fits well with democrats narrative of citizen submission.
Technically there is a difference between a hot burglary and a home invasion. In a hot burglary the per either enters the house covertly or when he believes that no one is home. There is no intent to confront the occupants. In a home invasion the person specifically intent confront and control who is there.
That's kind of how the guy explained the difference between break ins during my concealed carry class (he worked undercover for the state police). If a person breaks into a residence that he believes is unoccupied but then finds people and attempts to leave without harming anyone then the break in is a "property" crime. If the person breaks in while he thinks people are there and doesn't try to flee if confronted then it's a "personal" crime. I don't remember the exact terms, but the difference is if it's a crime against persons then defending with deadly force is justified, if the crime is against property then the use of deadly force is NOT justified.
It might depend on what state you're in. I'm pretty sure you can shoot someone over property here in Texas, but I personally have no interest in shooting someone over my tv.
It absolutely depends on what state you're in. Around here the law is the castle doctrine, basically. Someone breaks in and you shoot him, he goes to jail and you don't.
Put signs on the lawn that say either "armed resident" or "unarmed resident"…. The unarmed will sue to have the signs taken down……
It tells you everything you need to know about why gun grabbers feel "safe" in their homes.
I have heard that about 10% of burglaries in the United States are "hot burglaries" — meaning the people who live in the home are actually home during the "burglary". In other words 10% of "burglaries" are home invasions.
If the FBI is saying that there were 1,729,806 burglaries in 2014, that means there are about 173,000 home invasions annually. Since there are about 117 million households in the United States (according to Wikipedia), that means a home invasion occurs in about 1 in every 676 homes annually in the United States. Over the course of an average lifespan of 75 years, that means your odds of being the victim of a home invasion would be about 1 in 9! Wow!!!
I have a really hard time believing that 1 in 9 people over their (average) lifespan of 75 years would be victims of a home invasion. I am confident that I could ask 100 people who I know (or are parents of people who I know) who are approaching 70 years of age and not a single one of them has been a victim of a home invasion. Any thoughts anyone???
Just like with other violent crime statistics, your "overall chance" in your lifetime of being a victim of (insert crime) has a lot more to do with your relationships, personal associations, tenancy to break the law, and geographical location within the country. You can't compare the risk of someone who lives on 200 acres in Montana and honesty works for a living to someone who lives in an apartment in Englewood (Chicago) that sells drugs and bangs for a living.
I work as a firefighter, often we need to again entry without causing damage. Check the welfare , lock outs, and so on.
The first thing I do is send a guy to the bathroom window, second floor one are almost ALWAYS unlocked , first floor ones are locked more often but a good number are not .
What we need to do is track down these gun-toters and politely inform them that their actions are illegal.

New Research Initiative Connects AU's Urban Scholars
A shared curiosity around cities drew faculty and students from diverse disciplines — computer science, anthropology, government, Latin American studies, economics, and biology — together for the launch of the Comparative Urban Research Initiative (CURI), October 28.
The initiative is the brainchild of Professor Daniel Esser, who came to the School of International Service (SIS) a year ago eager to connect with other urban scholars.
"You really learn from people who work on similar issues from different directions," said Esser, whose own research focuses on the politics of institution building in cities. "Cities are a research subject that excites many of us, and I hope this will be the beginning of a conversation across schools and across disciplines."
Rosemary Wander, vice provost of graduate studies and research, applauded the initiative, which brings "new visibility" to the AU community's scholarly efforts in cities near and far.
"This activity is driven by the energy and passion of faculty and unites people across the campus," she said. "I hope CURI becomes a piece of the AU vocabulary that everyone recognizes."
On October 28, CURI hosted a workshop during which 10 professors from the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), School of Public Affairs (SPA), and SIS presented their current research and upcoming projects. Participants included:
- William Leap, CAS: Visualizing a Neoliberal Urban Gay Geography
- Brenda Werth, CAS: Imagining American Cities Through Twenty-First Century Performance
- David Pike, CAS: The Afterlife of Urban Imagery, Spatial Practices, and Infrastructure
- Eve Bratman, SIS: Washington, D.C., as a Third World City
- Kim Blankenship, CAS: Coercive Mobility and HIV Risk in D.C.
- Daniel Esser, SIS: Chinese Investments in African Cities
- Carl LeVan, SIS: Urban Migration, Economic Uncertainty, and Ethnic Networks in Suburban Abuja
- Dolores Koenig, CAS: Forced Displacement in Asian and African Cities—Infrastructure Construction, Slum Renovation, and Gentrification
- Cathy Schneider, SIS: Racial Boundaries and Riots: Comparing Paris and Marseilles
- Sonja Walti, SPA: Assessing the Success of Participatory Environmental Management
As professors only had 10 minutes to present their work, Esser jokingly likened the event to "speed dating." It was an appropriate analogy. "We'll talk later" was a refrain heard throughout the morning as faculty forged new connections around their overlapping interests.
Said SIS dean Louis Goodman: "We're all about the business of tearing down the walls that separate us."

BRENTWOOD Ladies lost for the first time this season in the top of the league clash at Holcombe. With the home team able to take advantage of their 1st XI not having a game to field a team of 16, Brentwood always knew it was going to be a tough game.
The match started off as a possession game with the ball being passed around the pitch with both teams trying to find a weakness to capitalise on.
However, the Brentwood midfield of Nat Gilder, Lauren Slater and Shirley Osmotherly more than held their own against a strong Holcombe side.
Holcombe were the first to score after they were awarded a penalty corner. After the initial injection was mis-controlled, Holcombe played the ball around the edge of the circle before finding their centre forward free in the circle to take the lead.
The Brentwood forwards took advantage of a quick turn over, and quick passing skills between Bev Simmons and Charlotte Holt gave the opportunity for Lizzie Tyler to slip the ball past the diving Holcombe keeper to level the score.
In the second half, the home team started applying much more pressure. The deadlock was finally broken by the home team when a long corner pass looped high into the circle and through the legs of Parsons into the goal.

BEAVERTON, Ore. – As the Colorado Rapids and new head coach Pablo Mastroeni figure out the best look for their side in 2014, it leaves their opponents with the unenviable job of game planning for what few can predict.
That task falls to the Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter ahead of a Saturday matchup with the Rapids in their home opener at Dicks Sporting Goods Park (6 pm ET; MLS Live).
Portland are also faced with another wrinkle as they hit the road for the first time this season, heading to a place that hasn't always been kind to them – Portland have never won in the Mile High City in four tries, with their first and only result being a 2-2 tie there last year.
"We do make some tweaks depending on the opponent," Porter told reporters earlier this week. "But we try not to deviate a ton when we're away and how we play and the rhythm we follow. The thing that changes is typically the opponent believes they're going to push the game more and attack more. So we have to be aware of that, and that will mean at times we're defending a little bit deeper."
Timbers center back Pa Modou Kah, who is expected to play and trained fully this week after sitting out Portland's 1-1 draw against the Chicago Fire over the weekend, noted that the absence of former Rapids strongman Hendry Thomas, who followed coach Oscar Pareja to FC Dallas, provides a different look. But Kah said their attacking front still is a handful, with reigning rookie of the year Dillon Powers now back healthy and running the show in the midfield, no different from last year's form that saw the Rapids make a surprise run to the MLS Cup playoffs.
"For me, the most important thing is what we do," Kah said following Friday's session at the team's training facility before they made the trip to Colorado.
Timbers captain Will Johnson, whose eight-year MLS career has put him on the same pitch as Mastroeni the player, said he expects the Rapids to take on the hard-nosed mentality the former US international was known for during his playing days.
"I'm sure he's going to have no problem getting his message across to his guys," Johnson said. "He was tough to play against, and I'm sure that his team, he'll want them to be tough as well, especially defensively and winning balls in the middle."

The Timbers will likely have to shake up the backline for a second consecutive week as center back Norberto Paparatto has yet to fully train this week after suffering a groin injury against Chicago. He was working with trainers before Friday's training session was closed to the media and Porter said Thursday it was unclear yet whether he would make the trip to Colorado.
That means Mamadou Danso, who made his first start of 2014 last week in place of Kah, would once again make the XI alongside his Gambian counterpart.
"The whole team has good chemistry," Kah said. "It's not just about me and Futty. It's about the team because when we perform we perform as a team not individuals. The chemistry from the team is still there. We've been unlucky not scoring goals, but I believe it will come."

Utah GOP House caucus gets emotional over response to deadly shooting
Instereo Eureka, UTDec. 20, 2012 8:38 a.m.
To "the truth"
First of all the worst school massacre was in 1927, was in Bath Township, MI near Lansing, caused the death of 45 including 38 children and was done by a member of the school board who had planned for over a year to commit this act of atrocity. Yea, I agree it's hard to outlaw crazy and where there is a will there is a way but, when it's easier to get access to guns than it is to get adequate mental health care, we have a problem.
You conclude by advocating for mandatory gun education. Do you support mandatory sex education? I imagine you don't. Why, because it will cause students to think about something they shouldn't and then they might do it. Using the same logic, what would gun education do?
I agree that we need to somehow change peoples minds about killing others but we aren't going to do it by making access to guns easier.
the truth Holladay, UTDec. 19, 2012 7:01 p.m.
IN the 1950's, in boston I believe, an arsonist burned a school house killing over 90 children.
Mcveigh used a truck load of fertilizer,
There are many many other examples of mass killings and attacks without guns,
and man many more were there are Gun bans like England, NOrway, Chicago,
Bad guys will always find guns or away,
Guns are not the problem.
Killers will find a way to kill, disarming and making defenseless law-abiding citizens fixes nothing.
There are over 20,000 gun laws and regulations on the book in the US,
how would another law or regulation change anything?
We need to find why out people are resorting to killing.
We need to change hearts and minds, not laws.
It is a culture that has devalued life (abortion)
removed God and Religion form the public square,
Removed values and morals from our society.
Mandatory Gun education, that teaches respect for guns, in schools would be a far better start.
CHS 85 Sandy, UTDec. 19, 2012 1:07 p.m.
"If only there had been an armed teacher in the school I think at least some lives would have been saved."
That armed teacher would have been shooting a pistol at a fast-moving target wearing body armor and firing a semi-automatic rifle.
Who do you think wins that fight?
Lledrav West Jordan, UTDec. 19, 2012 11:17 a.m.
I was sickened and infuriated again last night as I watched an interview with a teacher at the Sandy Hook school. She said she huddled with her class and just listened to the spaced and steady "pops" continue for 20 minutes or more. There is no way it took 20 minutes to get a cop to the school! When did the first responders arrive? What were they doing? Crouched outside the doors till the shooting stopped like they did at Columbine? No one wants to criticize the police response. If only there had been an armed teacher in the school I think at least some lives would have been saved.
Kirk R Graves West Jordan, UTDec. 19, 2012 10:40 a.m.
It is best that laws (those things that stick around for a very long time and have far reaching effects we don't always see), be created when emotion is not running high. Not only do I commend the GOP Caucus for their care in this matter, I expect the Democrat Caucus is doing the same right now. Both bodies are made up of the best and brightest Utah has to offer. I expect they all realize that a hasty decision is always a bad decision.
As for the helmet law, I have a simple philosophy on that. "Any law that is designed to protect me from me, has no place being a law".
Instereo Eureka, UTDec. 19, 2012 10:35 a.m.
When the 2nd Amendment was written and approved as part of the constitution, the right to bear arms meant the right to own Flintlock weapons. I don't think there are to many people today that think that is a bad thing. But when you have someone shoot up an elementary school with "legal" semi-automatic guns with 30 shot clips it causes me to seriously reconsider what the right to bear arms means.
There are over 36000 deaths per year as a result of firearms, 18000 of them are suicides. That figures out to about 50 suicides a day where a gun was used. Would there be that many suicides per day if it was harder to get a gun?
Finally in Newtown, CT there were 20 children shot in basically one classroom. If it had happened in Utah it would have been a lot more. The school in CT had locked doors and a buzz in system, in other words it was secure. The Tragedy still happened though. So, the solution is much more complicated then guns, schools, or God. We need to have an open honest dialog across party lines to solve this.
Midwest Mom Soldiers Grove, WIDec. 19, 2012 9:14 a.m.
Well done? Well done what? A few public tears and "reverent" meetings will assuage the current "shock and awe" until the American public moves on to the next distraction. From gutting treatment funding for the mentally ill, to allowing as many unregulated assault weapons as one wants, this tragedy is the result of well-funded lobbyists and so-called conservatives. If this body were truly concerned about conserving life and limb, they wouldn't be promoting a no-helmet rule. Prudent safety measures, that help to protect the individual, as well as the public who ends up paying for those with serious head injuries, should be obviously more important than the "right" to the freedom to have the wind blowing through your hair. Sometimes, people are too selfish or too ignorant to make important decisions without guidance.
J-TX Allen, TXDec. 19, 2012 8:34 a.m.
The only things that can prevent these tragedies from occurring again are:
1- Morals and Ethics education (A return to religion would not hurt.)
2- An end to the culture of violence in America, to include severe restrictions on media that glamorize and glorify killing, showing graphic violence and desensitizing our youth to it.
3- Taking care of our mentally ill Brothers (I would say sisters, too, which is a need, but this list is aimed at curbing violent crime, and when was the last time a girl shot up a school?)
Unfortunately, under the guise of liberty, we do not restrict violent first person shooter video games, or give movies with graphic violence an X rating.
Under the guise of tolerance, we have spiritually and morally neutered our populace.
Under the guise of 'public service' we have spent our tax money on all the wrong things.
Even if we really wanted to prevent these horrific events from ever happening again, we as a people lack the moral fortitude to do what it takes to treat the disease, and instead will continually act to treat the symptoms. Even if we wanted to, the right changes would take decades to work.
History Nut Cedar Hills, UTDec. 19, 2012 8:19 a.m.
In the end they will do nothing about guns, nothing about mental health, and, as we've already seen, nothing about education; just talk and emotional posturing for the public.
Schwa South Jordan, UTDec. 19, 2012 4:00 a.m.
Nobody is pushing for a total ban on guns. I'm tired of hearing that.
Outsideview Federal Way, WADec. 19, 2012 12:39 a.m.
Anyone heard or read how the mother of this shooter stored her guns? This type of gun has to be kept in a certified gun safe.
Also, as part of the review to help those with mental illneses, those familys where these people live will need to remove their guns or again, certify that they are kept safe from them in a secure gun safe.
DN Subscriber 2 SLC, UTDec. 18, 2012 10:25 p.m.
I wish the pandering prevaricating politicians in Washington had the sensible and rational approach that our legislators are showing.
This is not an easy problem, and the knee jerk "solutions" many are proposing in Washington are merely an opportunistic implementation of goals they have secretly been pushing for decades- mainly a total ban on guns, probably in some incremental fashion. Ignoring the hard evidence that the various schemes they push have been tried and failed every time.
Well done, Republican legislature caucus!
tabuno Clearfield, UTDec. 18, 2012 7:28 p.m.
As a moderate Democrat to hear the female Speaker of the House offer compassion and expression of concern for the suffering of others, it really makes me glad so far to have her as leader of our Utah House.

" Brand: Feel Good Fruits / Type: Hand Wash / Suitable for: Hand "
The Feel Good Fruits
handwash: Madarin, bergamot and cardamon variety
I bought a few of these from Tesco when they were on offer recently. I think I got 3 bottles for £2.50 so they were good price I felt. Each bottle contains 500ml.
Mandarin, bergamot and cardamon one is a soft orange colour in a sort of frosted plastic bottle with a clear push- down dispenser. It is a fairly ordinary looking product but not unattractive although I know there are smarter looking items if you pay the extra price. I certainly don't feel embarrassed having it in my bathroom as it doesn't look like a cheapie value brand.
On the front the hand wash is described as "zesty mandarin, uplifting bergamot amd stimulating cardamon". The only item pictured is the " zesty mandarin" but despite its zesty name the smell is far from zesty. Although mandarin is the strongest aroma of the three that I can smell but that is not saying much as I cannot detect even a hint of cardamon which is quite a strong smell and as for bergamot it is difficult to tell as that is a citrus smell that could work with the mandarin but it certainly isn't obvious. The smell is extremely mild so much so that if blind folded I might struggle to pick out what it smelled of. It a pleasant clean smell but not a strong mandarin smell at all. The smell doesn't linger at all on your hands not even a hint I would say. I do prefer my hand wash to have a bit of oomph in the smell area and this is very disappointing.
The hand wash is quite thick and once again I followed the directions on 'how to use' (For those who have never used a hand wash before- there are indeed directions on the back) and I found that indeed one squirt was enough to get a good lather for hand washing.
The claim on the front of the bottle is that this is a moisturising creme hand wash. It certainly is not a harsh product and it does leave my hands quite soft so I would suggest that it is quite moisturising though I have not abandoned using my hand cream just yet.
The bottle is quite chunky which means that you can push down quite quickly and not have the thing tip over. Some hand washes I have tried have narrower bottoms and this often ends up tipping over.
The pump dispenser is functional and easy to use and a decent amount comes out when pushed. My grandchildren have no trouble using this and they are aged three and five so it is definitely a product designed to function easily.
This is not the most exciting hand wash I have ever bought but it does the job and is functionally much nicer than bar soap which goes strange - hard and splits into cracks when not used often ( spare room ensuite) or soggy ( left in basin in down stairs loo used by grandchildren). This is the least interesting of the three products I bought in the offer as it has the least smell.
The other disadvantage apart from lack of smell that I found with this variety is that it is NOT anti bacterial and this is so useful in a hand wash. I do not keep this variety in my kitchen for this reason. My hand wash in the kitchen is always an anti-bacterial. one as I feel it is extra security when handling food to wash hands with something that is anti-bacterial first. So all in all this one I would not recommend as although it washes my hands it does not smell especially pleasant and is also not anti-bacterial either
An extremely mild (almost non existent) smelling mandarin , good value hand wash but not anti bacterial.
This review may be published on other sites under my name.

Ask the people they served with and they'll tell you: The dogs buried at Fort MacArthur in San Pedro served their country with honor, bravery and dignity.
"They're veterans," sad Ernie Ayana, who served in the Army in Vietnam with a dog named Heidi at his side. "No doubt about that."
Ayana, who is the Army sentry director for the Vietnam Dog Handlers Association, joined other military personnel, police and history buffs Saturday for the dedication of the fort's newly refurbished canine cemetery.
American flags marked the spots on freshly laid grass where many of the dogs are buried, their names etched in metal plaques. There's Cheetah, Lothar and Fritz. Exactly how many are there nobody knows because early records cannot be found.
A. Paul Acosta knew many of those dogs. He worked with them when he was guarding a Nike missile site in northern Los Angeles County. His own companion, Brutus, is also buried there, but his marker was stolen long ago, leaving no trace as to his exact location.
Acosta was teamed up with the German shepherd during military police training. They quickly formed a strong bond.
"He was smarter than I was," Acosta said. "They'd tell us to turn left, but I'd turn right. But Brutus turned left. I spent more time with him than my wife."
The ceremony featured salutes, a moment of silence and taps.
For those who came to pay their respects, the animals deserved all the pomp they received.
That it happened at Fort MacArthur was appropriate: The facility is where the first military dogs were trained nearly 70 years ago.
"This is a fitting tribute," Acosta said. "These dogs deserve it. They contributed to people who wanted to serve their country."
Ayana estimated that 100,000 men and women owe their lives to the dogs, which were used as sentries, bomb sniffers, booby-trap finders and scouts.
"If a scout dog didn't catch a trip wire, the dog and the handler both blew up. They saved GIs that were left in battle. Those dogs found them."
The small plot had been largely neglected until a group of volunteers decided a few years ago that it needed to be fixed up. With the guidance of Dorothy Matich, they raised about $40,000 for the effort.
"They're veterans," she said of the dogs. "Nobody asked them. They were brought in and trained. They deserve a little spot."
If the dogs are remembered warmly now, they were mostly considered unnecessary by the military after they were no longer needed - and most of them were euthanized. Of the 4,000 sent to Vietnam, only a few hundred were shipped home.
"It wasn't appropriate," said Steve Nelson, curator of the Fort MacArthur Museum.
But the Army has since changed its policy and the animals are now retrained and given new homes at the end of their military careers.
"They fought for our freedom," said San Pedro resident Flo Kleinjan. "They fought with our soldiers. People don't realize the service they performed."

Prof. Dr. Tina Treude
GEOMAR research unit Marine Geosystems within the research division Marine Biogeochemistry.
Cluster of Excellence The Future Ocean
Since October 1st 2014 Tina Treude is an Associate Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Her research group in Kiel is still active. Contact persons for immediate local matters are Dr. Stefan Krause and Prof. Klaus Wallmann. Tina Treude can be reached at UCLA via this link.
Research topics and interests
- Biogeochemical processes in marine sediments
- Marine geobiology and geomicrobiology
- Early Earth live and astrobiology
- benthic N, Fe, S, and C cycling in oxygen minimum zones
- methane in marine systems (cold seeps, gas hydrates, anaerobic oxidation of methane, authigenic carbonates)
- microbe-mineral interactions (e.g. carbonate precipitation and dissolution)
- microbial degradation of petroleum in sediments
- microbial alteration of plastics in sediments
- whale falls in the deep sea (chemosynthesis, sulfate reduction, methanogenesis)
General scientific questions
Main subjects of my research are biogeochemical processes in the seafloor, i.e. interactions between the biosphere and the geosphere. I am specifically interested in turnover processes of microbes and the impact of their activity on the geochemistry of their habitat or on even global events. Generally, I try to answer the following ecological core questions:
- Which organisms live in a specific system and what are they doing?
- Why is a system attractive for specific organisms in terms of physical and geochemical characteristics?
- How do the organisms impact the system?
- How could changes in the system affect the activity of the organisms?
My standard methods include, e.g.
(1) quantification of microbial turnover rates (e.g. methanogenesis, methane oxidation, sulfate reduction, nitrogen fixation) with radiotracer incubations and in-vitro experiments
(2) geochemical porewater analyses
(3) high-resolution measurements of geochemical profiles with micro-electrodes
(4) mass spectrometry and gas chromatography
(5) molecular methods (CARD-FISH)
(6) electron microscopy for the visualization of microbe-mineral interactions

In New Mexico, times have been tough. The Land of Enchantment has been gripped by economic uncertainty for over three years now. But, after almost half a decade living year-to-year (and sometimes month-to-month), New Mexico may be turning a corner and it's time we got serious about a new, long-term vision for the Land of Enchantment. We must stop rehashing the same old issues and put forth some bold new initiatives.

Shivpuri, MP, Jun 4 (UNI) Slamming the Centre's Congress-led United Progressive Alliance regime for the galloping inflation, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today said the Congress would have to ''pay the price'' in future.
''By hiking petroleum products' prices, the Centre has done the work of enhancing the price hike. The poor and common man will have to toil harder for 'dal roti','' he said, while addressing a 'Panch Sarpanch Kisan Mahila Sammelan' in this district's Kolaras.
Pointing out that the state government was desirous that the poor received adequate foodgrain, Mr Chouhan added that the Annapurna Yojana envisaged distribution of wheat at Rs 3 per kg and rice at Rs 4.5 per kg subject to a monthly ceiling.
''Madhya Pradesh's people will soon be liberated from inferior quality red wheat (supplied by the Centre under the Public Distribution System) as the state's better-quaity wheat will be made available,'' he assured, while calling for greater participation of women in elections.

these guys are good....everything went smooth...my part arrived one day earlier than I expected. One hour after I ordered this part I thought I didn't need it. I called them and they had already picked the part and shipped it. All within one hour of me ordering the part on line. Thankfully I needed the part anyway but boy what a fast turnaround. I'll do business with these people again.
Very good customer service. I mis-typed the credit card number. A prompt email was sent to me explaining there was a problem with my card and to call customer service. A quick call to a very nice employee and the problem was solved. Received the part when promised. Part is on the car and working great. Highly recommended.

El imaginario social de la participación y el modelo cooperativo como arquetipo empresarial "tipo O"
The effects of worker participation have been evaluated and recognised as positive from all points of view. This evidence is confirmed, under certain conditions, by the motivational, industrial and business relations paradigms. The problem faced today does not lie in its necessity – shared with the diverse sphers of the organisation – nor in the creation of areas in which to develop it – working groups, task forces – but rather in the will to exercise it responsibly. The access to ownership, together with a policy of participative management -the "O" (Ownership) Theory- is formulated from this point of view as an alternative which improves the conhugation of decisions, incentives for their development and implication in the destiny of the organisation.

If you are a registered author of this item, you may also want to check the "citations" tab in your profile, as there may be some citations waiting for confirmation.
